A Christmas Koi
Chapter Two
-I Wished on a Star-
(a.n- allo again my faithful readers! Due to many *cough* annoying *cough* requests by Aoi, I am updating this… it is the SECOND CHAPTER. Bwah hah hah. Ignore any and all randomness- I'm a bit sugar high, and a reminder- this is yaoi (meaning male/male relationships) and it's set in an AU (meaning alternate universe, meaning that everything isn't the same as it is in the show because I said so). Now that that's all done with… I'll move on to something I forgot to put in the last chapter (aka- the first chapter):
Disclaimer: I *sniffle* don't *sniffle* own… *sob* any of it! *Breaks down into tears*
Yesh… that will be all- HAPPY READING!)
"How about this one?" Kurama asked me looking up at a huge tree at one of those scary shops that just sell trees. Who does that?!
"I'm cold…" I complained, noticing how my breath was visible in the air.
Kurama rolled his eyes and continued walking through the lot.
"Don't you have anything better to do than to annoy me on a day that I'm already not in a good mood?" I questioned him, wanting him to leave me alone.
"Nah- I do have to go somewhere- but that's not until later on tonight."
Goody. So I was stuck with Mr. Perky until later on this night. Shoot me. Now.
"But don't you have to do stuff with your family? I'm sure they miss your presence. Go back home to them- spend Christmas with your family… please?" I urged, really wanting to be left alone.
"Aw, but then you'd be all alone. That would be depressing, no? We wouldn't want that to happen to poor Hiei-chan now would we?" Kurama replied as he hugged me. He knew very well that I was trying to get rid of him, and he just wanted to piss me off. So I did the most logical thing- I glared at him.
"Whoa… if looks could kill…"
"Pity they don't." I mumbled as I reluctantly trudged behind Kurama through the tree lot.
After picking out a damn tree, we had gotten someone to deliver it to my house while we went to a Christmas store next door to buy ornaments and stupid crap like that.
"Aw… these ones are so cute!" Kurama gushed over little pom-pom Santas.
What was that, the 20th time he's 'aww'ed since we were here? Wow- I never realize I could hate one word as much as I hated 'aw' right now.
"Don't you love them?" Kurama asked me holding up the stupid-looking things.
"Aw! Look at them! They are SUCH the cutest things EVER! Oh, please Kurama! Buy them for me! I just don't know HOW I would live without them!" I mocked him, while probably just succeeding in making an ass out of myself.
Yep- random people were staring at me. Kurama and the store owner were both glaring at me. I love being the center of attention.
"Keep staring and I'll steal your souls." I threatened, scaring some little kids. It was so much fun scaring little kids.
After paying for everything, Kurama dragged me out of the store.
"You seem pissed…" I grinned, knowing that I was the reason for that.
"No… I'm perfectly fine."
Heh. So he was going to pretend that he was having the most fun time. Well, fine. I'll just have to piss him off further.
"Where must we go now?" I asked, noting how many bags we already had.
"I think we're done…" Kurama answered, looking through everything to see if he has forgotten something, "Yeah, we have everything," he confirmed.
When we had gotten back to my house and dropped everything off, I flopped back down on the couch. I had never known that shopping could be annoying, tiring, and boring all at once.
The tree was on the back porch and I found it a bit odd to just have a TREE be sitting there. Who came up with the idea of having a tree in your house for a celebration of someone's birthday? Someone must've been on SOMETHING.
Kurama interrupted my thoughts with the world's most idiotic suggestion that I have EVER heard.
"I have an idea Hiei! Before we make your house look all nice and Christmas-y, we should take a little break and go ice skating!"
He's kidding right? Oh God- if he's not kidding… then someone drop me off the end of a cliff, after lighting me on fire, and then dance on my ashes. Hm, perhaps I have too much spare time to think of ways to have someone kill me.
"Ice skating?!" I finally questioned him disbelievingly.
"Oh come on, you MUST know what ice skating is! It's when you- -" Kurama started.
"I know what it is baka!" I interrupted him, "I just think it's a stupid thing to do."
"You're no fun. And whether you like it or not, I'm going to take you ice sakting with me. I guarantee that you'll love it!" Kurama insisted, and I knew that there was no point in arguing with him.
But that doesn't mean that I wasn't going to.
"I'm not going to go ice skating. I don't mind that much if you come and decide to transfer my house into this winter wonderland, but I refuse to go ICE SKATING." I bluntly said.
"Of course you're coming!" He said, while grabbing my hand and pulling me up from my sitting position.
I grabbed a sweatshirt as we ran (well- as Kurama ran and I got dragged) out the door for the second time that day.
I pulled it on when Kurama has finally let go of my hand and we were walking toward the town common to skate at the frozen pond. Then a thought hit me.
"Aw, damn Kurama, I don't think I CAN ice skate. I don't have any ice skates. Damn this DOES suck." I said, all the happy parts of what I said being sarcastic.
"Don't worry," Kurama reassured, knowing that I really wasn't depressed about not being able to go ice skating, "I don't have any with me either. They have a little booth thing next to the pond that rents out skates."
"How… convenient."
"I knew you'd think so."
When we arrived at the pond, we rented skates and with some difficulty, (due to the reluctance from yours truly) we got on the skates.
When I tried standing up and walking, I fell down automatically, and Kurama EVILY found this humorous and started laughing.
"Shut up." I muttered as I stood back up and managed to make it to the iced-over pond.
Kurama laughed at me again when I just stared at the ice and the other skaters circling around it with a raised eyebrow.
"It's easy. Here- I'll show you, you'll get the hang of it in less time than you think." Kurama said as he stepped onto the ice.
He skated around the pond once, and then stopped in front of me.
"See? It's fairly easy. Now come on… I'll teach you." He said as he took my hand and gently pulled me onto the ice, making sure that I didn't fall over again.
"Now, don't lift up your feet, just glide on them." He instructed as he did what he said as an example.
When he let go of me I nearly fell over, but regained my balance to prevent falling on the ice.
I tried doing what he had just done, but I ended up falling over backwards, causing Kurama to giggle some more.
After helping me up again, he held on to me and skated a bit to show me how to do it.
When I tried again to do it on my own, I almost fell over, but instead fell into Kurama, who steadied me.
"I don't want to die!" I protested… now officially scared of ice skating. I think I'll have nightmares for ages.
Kurama laughed, "you won't die Hiei… trust me."
After a bit I had the hang of it, and began to ice skate on my own. It was fun for a little while, but believe me… it gets boring and you get dizzy after a little while.
When we were both done, we turned in our skates and headed back to my house.
"See! I told you that we would have fun." Kurama told me.
"I DIDN'T have fun." I retorted, although judging by my actions even I knew that I had. I wasn't going to tell Kurama that, of course.
Kurama just smiled to himself and rolled his eyes.
"I'll never get you…"
"Do you honestly want to?" I questioned him.
"Of course not. You single handedly make my life stressful and non-peaceful." He replied.
"Stop stealing my job- I'm the sarcastic one."
Kurama rolled his eyes again and when we got back to my house, the twinkle returned to his eyes.
"Now we get to decorate your house!" He said excitedly.
Figures. I was ACTUALLY having an okay time. Now back to the boringness of Kurama's so-called perfect, happy, Christmas land. AKA- back to Hiei's torture.
I wished on a star,
And girl here you are
Suddenly I realize,
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Till I looked into your eyes.
