It was a beautiful day outside. Celestia Requene decided to sit out on her front porch and think about all the good-looking guys she had seen in her lifetime. She thought about the anti-social Hiei. She would never forget him. He was the best looking, even though he had a Jagan. Then there was Kurama. He wasn't too bad, but not as good-looking as Hiei. She thought about his bright red hair, his fondness of flowers, his kindness. Celestia thought about the likelihood of having Kurama as her koi. "It's possible," she thought. "More possible than Hiei, at least." There were some others, too, but these were the most notable. Of course, she was a friend to both Hiei and Kurama. That seemed unlikely in itself. She decided to go for a walk. Not anywhere in particular; she was just going to go wherever her feet took her. After walking for half an hour, she ended up in front of Kurama's house. She rang the doorbell. Kurama opened the door. "Hello Celestia," he said. "Hi Kurama," she replied. "Why don't you come in?" "Of course, Kurama."
He led her to the living room. "Where's Shiori-san?" "Oh, she's out with Hatenaka-san for the evening," was the happy reply. Celestia hid a grin; Kurama could be so sweet when it came to his mother. While the boy went to make tea, Celestia reflected on the Urameshi team. She had been attacked by a youkai they were chasing one night; she could remember their looks of shock on their faces when she had defeated it on her own. 'Well', she amended mentally, 'Hiei didn't show any emotion, but then he never does.' They had been startled to see she was a Sailor Senshi. As Sailor Vercury, she was as hidden as her planet, and did not work with the others. Celestia and the Urameshi team found they were fighting against the same group, and decided to join forces. Since then, she had become good friends with them and their female counterparts. She felt a small smile tug at the corners of her mouth, the hilarious group of demons, delinquents, and misfits never failed to amuse her. Her thoughts were interrupted as Kurama brought the tea in.
He handed her a cup. "Ano, Celestia, daijoubu?" he asked. "Fine, actually, considering all this 'protect the universe' stuff I have to do so frequently." She was talking about her duties as a Sailor Senshi. She took a sip of tea. "Hey, this is pretty good. Did you make it yourself?" "Actually, I did. I am delighted to see that you are enjoying it. Chotto matte." Celestia watched him leave the room. 'I wonder what he's doing,' she thought. 'Maybe he has to go to the bathroom or something.' Just as she was trying to figure out why he left, Kurama returned with his hands behind his back. "Close your eyes," he said. She did as she was told. "Open them now." When Celestia opened her eyes, she let out a gasp. "How beautiful!!!" He had given her a bouquet of roses. "I grew them just for you." "Arigato!!! Oh, Kurama, you didn't have to." "I wanted to." Kurama gave her a sweet smile. "How sweet of you!!!" Celestia was overjoyed. He blushed slightly.
All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," Kurama said hastily. "You do that," Celestia said. He opened the door only to find Hiei standing there. "What can I do for you, Hiei?"
"The infant has given us another mission." Was the cold reply. "Oh, what happened this time?" Kurama asked worriedly. "Some youkai are down at the park frightening the ningens, they're all about A-class." Hiei scowled. Spotting Celestia he added "You can come if you want. The rest of them might need help." Rolling her eyes slightly at the egotistical remark, she readily agreed. "Of course! Someone has to keep you in line! "Then we're off!" Kurama chimed. "In more ways than one!" snickered Celestia gleefully. They began to race to the park.
