After two days: everyone at Genkai's shrine was getting ready for his or her up coming trip the next day.

"Genkai-sensei, why don't you come with us?" Nashime asked. "I wish I could but some things are needed attention here in Kyoto and besides who will guard Tokyo when you are gone." "Demo." "You better spend the days of your vacation if you could call this a vacation.with fun." "Arigatoo, Genkai-sensei" "Dou itashimashite." "I'll be packing my things now. Mata ne!" Genkai just nod. 'Be more careful young one.your enemies are just waiting for the right moment to strike'

============================================================================ ======

After three hours of preparations:

"Damn you Hiei! Give that back to me!!!!" Nashime yelled "No way!" Hiei said grinning madly. "You WILL regret messing up with me this time LITTLE ONE!" she growl as she ran after him. "Catch me IF you CAN! Pixie!" he said widening his grin "YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS! And don't YOU ever call ME PIXIE!" she said chasing him. "HAHAHAHA! Catch me if you can." Hiei said in singsong. "Hand it back to me Hiei or else." she said as she stomp her right foot. 'I haven't used Sou-chan's Shukuchi technique for a long time' Nashime thought. "OR ELSE what?" Hiei said. "Hmp!" Nashime said "YOU going to chase me for this embarrassing picture of yours or I'll show it to everyone." Hiei said grinning Nashime tap her toes three times and in just a blink of the eye, she is standing behind Hiei smiling. "YOU mean THIS picture," Nashime said waving the picture at Hiei 'How did she do that?' Hiei thought with a shocked expression. "HAHAHAHAHA! Look at your FACE your EXPRESSION is PRICELESS! HAHAHAHAHA!" Nashime said while laughing so hard. Hiei composed himself. "Hah! Laugh as hard as you want. But nothing can change the fact that you are crazy for me." Hiei said with pride. Nashime stop laughing and stare at him with wide eyes. "HOW DARE YOU!" she barked her eyes turning black in embarrassment and anger. "Come on ADMIT it! PIXIE!" Hiei said giving more emphasis on the 'pixie' term. "AHOU!" Nashime yelled and storm out of the hall. Hiei on the other side smirked. "QUITS!" he yelled back. Nashime sweat dropped "WHAT do YOU mean?" Nashime asked "You TEASED me a while a go. then IT'S my TURN to TEASE you." Hiei said still smiling. 'One last string and the pleasure is all mine.' he thought. 'Damn YOU midget! How dare YOU! YOU will LEARN the meaning of MY WRATH!" Nashime thought angrily her face turning red in anger. "What's the matter PIXIE? Can't accept the fact that you can't win against me." Hiei said "Y- -YO- - -YOU!" Nashime is REALLY red this time. 'You will PAY for this MIDGET!' she thought angrily. "Or just can't accept that "I" drive you mad." Hiei said again. 'Just the way I like it to be' he thought as Nashime stalk closer to him. "YOU are so absurd," she said giving him a death glare. "Im not ABSURD, in fact I'm too reasonable.," Nashime was about to slap him when he blocked it. "Got yah! Pixie!" he said smiling. "WHAT!?" Nashime exclaimed "Kawaii. oh no! Kirei." he whispered. "Huh?" Nashime stop dead. "Just what did you say?" "Kirei." "Nani?" she asked again. 'Is he referring to me?' As if, he read her mind. "Yes, you. beautiful." Hiei said his grip tighten and draw her close. "Hiei." her eyes were big. Hiei let out a soft laugh. "You must get used to it.pixie. you'll be hearing those words over and over again." he leaned closer. Nashime felt a shiver pass her spine. "Yamete. Hiei. not here. somebody." before she finished soft warm lips captured her parted ones. After a couple of mins. Hiei let go. "I don't even care." Hiei said before devouring her lips once again. This time he deepens the kiss, allowing his tongue to battle with hers. Nashime felt like jelly, her knees are shaking violently. Hiei noticed it and wrapped his arms tighter around her figure. He lean some more until they were against the cold wall. One hand holding his precious princess, other in the wall to maintain their balance.

============================================================================ ======

That time Yusuke is passing by, the two being so engrossed in their intimate kiss didn't felt his presence. Yusuke being Yusuke stop dead in his tracks. His eyes nearly popped out of its sockets witnessing two of the unlikely persons he know engrossed in a kiss, not only just a kiss but a very intimate kind of kiss. 'Did something happen that I don't know?' he thought. "Ahem!" he fakes a cough but no avail they ignored him, so that angered him. "GET A ROOM YOU TWO!" he yelled. The two jumped apart. Face flushed. "Hn." "Yusuke!" Nashime said with pure horror displayed in her face. "Yeah! It's me! Just ordinary Yusuke.. Passing by! You two better do that in a room or do it in a proper time. Now if you'll excuse me." he said before smirking seeing Nashime blush and look down while, Hiei having the slightest tinged of red in is cheeks as he looked away placing his hand behind his head. "." "." Yusuke waved at them. "Feh! I think I should get used to it. don't worry sooner I'll be." "." Hiei looked confused but take note he really did blush a while ago. "." Nashime's blush deepens. After a few mins. Of PURE silence. "You shouldn't have done that on the first place." Nashime said as she raised her head and start to walk Hiei gab her wrist. "Matte! Gomen Nasai. just carried away." Hiei whispered. "Aa. its fine. I am just embarrassed." she said blushing. "Are you embarrassed of me?" he asked in a soft voice. "NO! Definitely NO!" she said staring at him. "Just. I'm not yet used in. you being. like this." she confessed. Hiei nod and pull her closer. "Maybe I should do it often so you could get used to it easily." He said in a husky voice. "I think so too." she giggle and push him. "I still need to pack my things." she said. "Alright. see you in dinner." Hiei said kissing her fore head. "Hai Anata. see you." she said and started to walk to be capture by Hiei once again. "Say that again." he said "Huh?" "Say that again, what you said a while ago." Nashime smile and whispers in his ears. "A-N-A-T-A" "I like that. Koishii." then walk away. Nashime sigh in relief and walk back to her room, picture in hand. 'Tokiya-sama will kill me if he knows about this. hah! I don't care. I'm happy anyway and they'll be happy with that.'

============================================================================ ======

At dinner: "Im so excited in our trip!" Botan said as she eat greedily her food. "Me too."Suzie said with a smile. "I bet, Nashime and Hiei is the most excited in this trip" Yusuke said then smirk Everyone looked at him with a wary look. Nashime's eyes widen. Hiei broke his chopstick. Then everyone looked at the two. "What do you mean Yusuke?" Kuwabarra asked looking confused as ever. "Hehehehe." Yusuke laugh maniacally "Why Nashime and Hiei in the first place.?" Keiko asked. Everyone nod. "Ask them." Yusuke said grinning madly. Hiei gave him a death glare. "What's going on?" Yukina asked. Nadachi sensed Nashime's discomfort. "Maybe we should discuss this after dinner" Nadachi suggested. "Yeah. the food is getting cold." Kurama said, earning a thoughtful look from Hiei and a mouthed thank you from Nashime. Kurama looked at Nadachi and they both smile. Their hands entwined. 'At last' they both thought. The rest of the dinner came into bliss. Genkai excused herself saying she has other things to attend. With that, Nashime and Hiei sigh in relief. Yukina noticed it. 'Something is going on and it includes both of them. I hope what I'm thinking is right' she thought with a smile.

============================================================================ ======

After fixing everything: [Here comes the hard part] :-P

"Now the two of you. Talk" Kuwabarra said turning to the two. Everyone nod. Yusuke grinned madly. Nadachi and Kurama smiled. [Being an official couple like Yusuke and Keiko, they don't need to hide their affection with each other] Nadachi (head on Kurama's shoulder blade while Kurama's hand is around her petite body.) smiled at them then nod. [MORAL SUPPORT! Arigatoo Nadachi-chan!] "Ano. ano." Nashime started to stutter. When she felt Hiei's hand above her. Giving her courage. At the same time giving him one. This aroused suspicion to everyone. "Let me." Hiei said. Nashime nod. "Nashime and I are." "ARE?" everyone yelled except Nadachi and Kurama, whose smile widen. "We are in love..." Hiei said then sigh then close his eyes. 'At last.now of their re-action.' Nashime's eyes were close. 'Now what.' she waited for teasing/ hooting to come but none came. She gathered her courage and opened her eyes. Hiei at the same time choose to open his eyes. Just to see everyone's re-action: ***PURE SHOCK*** (mouth hanging open-Kuwabarra-, eyes wide-Yukina, Keiko, Suzie and Botan, Yusuke smiled thoughtfully)

============================================================================ ====== ============================================================================ ====== ============================================================================ ======

Nadachi is the first to speak. "Congratulations!" she stand up and walk towards Nashime to hug her. "Arigatoo" Nashime whisper at her. Kurama shake Hiei's hand. "It' about time. Congrats!" he said and patted his shoulders. Yusuke came to him and slapped him hard. "You did it man!" Everyone snap out of their shock Yukina and the girls stood up and lunge at Nashime in a hug. "OH!!! Congratulations Shime-chan!" they said I chorus. Kuwabarra slowly walked to Hiei. He grab him and twisting his knuckles at Hiei's head. "YOU!" "OUCH!" then he smiled at him FOR the FIRST EVER TIME. Then they told everyone how it started. Everyone teasing them. *********Tomorrow will be a long day************
