Red eyes bore into bright blue ones, never straying, locked in a grudging test of will. Blue eyes bold and daring, red ones furrowed and giving off every signal of nonchalant. Silence covered the room, despite the many figures crowded into the small room.

Tick.

Tock.

Tick.

Tock.

Abruptly the young woman's hand darted out, pulling one of the tall figures close to her. The copper-haired giant with the Elvis-styled cut was brought down to her level. He started protesting, but she silenced him with a wave of her hand, never letting her gaze stray.

Staring long and hard into her companion's bright red eyes, the young woman slowly drew her free hand back, keeping the tall man in her single-handed grip. With the strength attained from years of training in Feudal Japan, she let it fly, slapping the man's face with a resounding smack.

A few shocked moments passed by, followed by utter chaos.

"Kagome what was that for?"

"Ms. Kagome-"

"Kuwabara, are you alright?"

Only the two original figures remained in silence, gazing into each other's eyes; Yusuke made sure to keep watch of the duo. Kagome appeared to be searching for something, anything, in the short demon's facial expression. A slight tilt of his lips quirked upwards, and she jumped up triumphantly.

"Ha! He did it! I saw it for sure!"

Yusuke laughed as Kagome grinned ear to ear. The rest of the group looked on in confusion, still crowded around the abused Kuwabara.

"Hiei smiled!"
