"C-c-cousin?" Yusuke stammered.
Tensi nodded. "From my father's side. It's not too terribly close. I think my umteenth-great grandmother was his umteenth-great grandfather's sister. But I could be wrong." She looked from Yusuke to Kuwabara, with his jaw dropped to the gound. "Is there a problem?"
Kuwabara opened and closed his mouth, not making any noise.
Tensi raised an eyebrow. "Do this often?"
* * * * *
Tensi lay in bed, listening though the thin walls, waiting for her parents to shuffle off to bed. She could hear them clicking off the lights in the kitchen and the living room. They moved quietly enough to not wake Kori in the next room, and shut their door. She was free.
Quickly and quietly, she changed out of her night clothes into a pair of jeans and a zip-up hooded shirt. She crossed to the window, opened it, and began to climb out. There was a tree next to her window that had come in handy on a few occassions involving her Spirit Detective work.
"Sneaking out the window STILL? Ten, come on."
The voice scared the hell out of her. She lost her balance and fell, somehow managing not to hit the window or the ledge and landed neatly on her feet on the tree branch closest to her window. She looked up the branch and glared at Kurama, who was leaning casually against the trunk. "Damnit, Kurama! And you're still scaring the hell out of me!"
"Where are you going?"
"That's none of your damn business. And what the hell are you doing here, you damn stalker?!"
"Oh, I see that three hundred years hasn't damaged that togune of yours one bit." He grinned. "We've both missed you."
"Gods, I've missed you guys too!" Tensi ran up the branch and hugged Kurama. "A red-head 'bishonen'? Kurama!" She tugged his hair jokingly. "Where'd your blue hair go to?! And your ears!"
Kurama lightly tapped Tensi on the head, causing her to smile. They gave each other a high five. "Oh, yeah, partners in crime, back in action!"
"Kurama, if you're done with Tensi, I wouldn't mind taking up some of her time..."
The two looked up to see Hiei strattling two thin branches, close to the top of the tree.
"Oh, so THAT'S what you've been waiting for..." Kurama winked playfully at Tensi, who was grinning like a fool. "I'll see you tomorrow."
With that, the two friends split ways for the night, Kurama jumping down, Tensi scaling the tree. When she reached the top, she smiled at Hiei, who faintly returned it. Tensi sighed. "Hiei, you're not STILL jealous of Kurama, are you?"
Hiei's response was scilence.
Tensi shook her head as a gust of wind ruffled their hair. As the wind died down as suddently as it had started, the half demon brushed a few strands of hair out of her green eyes. She met Hiei's eyes, and they both grinned.
"Come on, I know somewhere where we can go."
"I have to be back by five-thirty."
"That I don't think I'll be able to do. Tonight, you're mine."
* * * * *
"Hm... I don't remember this..." Tensi leaned up and kissed the closed lid of Hiei's third eye.
"That would be because I didn't have it then," Hiei replied sarcastically. "I stole it to find my little sister."
"Ah, yes, the young Yukina," Tensi said wistfully, sighing as if she had heard something romantic. "The pride and joy of Kuwabara Kazuma's heart."
Hiei's features darkened at that. Tensi grinned a bit and kissed him gently. Hiei put his arms around her and pulled her closer to him, as their togunes danced lazily. They pulled apart and Tensi sighed contently, resting her head on Hiei's chest. The two were lying on their backs way outside Toyko, out in the woods, watching the stars. "The stars look different now."
Hiei looked up, staring at the stars, then realized that Tensi was right. "I guess I never noticed it."
"You don't realize it because you've seen them change. You really have to go from one extreme to another to notice it. I haven't been able to see the stars this clearly for years."
Hiei ran a hand though Tensi's hair and kept silent, taking pleasure in hearing her rambling voice.
"They haven't changed too terribly much, however," Tensi continued. "And I'm sure they have a good reason for changing."
Hiei was quiet for half a second after that. "We're not discussing the stars anymore, are we?"
"No," Tensi replied, looking up at Hiei. "But it's fun to pretend that we are."
"You talk too much."
"Then shut me up."
"As you wish," Hiei responded, shutting Tensi up with a kiss.
Unfortunately, it didn't last long, as Tensi pulled back and looked into Hiei's eyes. "Really? Anything I wish?"
Hiei grinned and, deciding to humor the girl, nodded.
"Wow, that's a first," the girl laughed as she sat up. "You've lightened up, boy."
"You're sounding like your grandfather, girl," the demon told her, following suit.
Tensi looked over at Hiei and grinned. "That may be true, but my grandfather would NEVER let us do this."
With that, she reached up, grabbed her zipper and tugged downwards.
