Last chapter: Hiei Blushes!? -

"Haha" laughed Kurama, as he stepped up to his own bed and laid down, closing his eyes. When the rustle of papers had settled down, Kurama thought back to yesterday once more. . . Hiei. . . he thought to himself. . .

*~*

Doki-Doki Suru: Good, 'Till I Saw You

*~*

Hiei was blushing furiously while Kurama waited patiently for him to speak and continue the sentence he started. Hiei's facial colors amused Kurama during the wait.

Get a grip on yourself, Hiei shouted at himself again. He needed to calm down, his heartbeat was becoming deafening to his ears. Soon, he began taking slow, deep breaths. He imagined what Kurama's face must look like to see him like this, he refused to look up to see reality, not now, when he's still as red as a tomato. (A/N: *laughs at the thought*)

Kurama watched silently, listening to the fire koorime's deep breaths, and his heart slowing down to a steadier pace. We must have been standing here for at least half an hour already, thought Kurama. He wanted to take a glance at his wristwatch, but he didn't want Hiei to think that he's wasting his time, so he just waited.

What am I suppose to do? Hiei thought. Thinking quickly, he finally lifted his head to Kurama.

"Kurama. . ." His mind raced to think of something to say. "Kurama -"

"HEY! KURAMA! HIEI! OVER HERE!!"

The demons looked at the source of the racket across the street. It was him. Yusuke Urumeshi. He was flinging his arms awkwardly, trying to catch their attention. (A/N: *sweatdrops*) To Kurama, he was the one who saved his life, as well as his mother's. To Hiei, he was a worthy ally, one he actually got to respect over time, which was rare. But right now, Yusuke was his savior. Hiei breathed a sigh of relief as Kurama waved back.

The traffic was busy this afternoon. It was apparently the rush hour. No matter, Hiei and Kurama jumped easily over the traffic and landed on the other side, next to Yusuke. Fortunately, their speed was fast enough to be missed by the untrained eye; no one saw their jump across. No one other than Yusuke of course, he was trained under the well-known Genkai.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Yusuke asked.

"Nothing."

"Nothing." Came two voices at once.

Kurama smiled. "Nothing worth talking about. How are you and Keiko doing?"

As if on cue, Keiko ran up to join them, holding two milkshakes, one for Yusuke, and the other for herself. She had stopped between Yusuke and Hiei, but the thought of their last meeting sent her to the opposite side of Yusuke, next to Kurama instead. (A/N: For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Hiei had struck Keiko with the Demon Sword to get Yusuke into giving him the Forlorn Hope and the Orb of Baas)

Hiei and Yusuke smirked at this, while Kurama smiled. Keiko only frowned and began drinking her milkshake through a red straw, handing the other to Yusuke.

Hiei glanced at Kurama's smile and something inside him quivered slightly. He quickly looked back at Yusuke and Keiko, trying to distract himself as best as he can. He had attempted to tell Kurama something in that alley. He wasn't sure what he was planning to say exactly at that time, he wasn't really sure why he blushed in the first place. It just happened. Without warning, something bubbled inside himself. Cursing himself, he quickly fled the scene before the others noticed his red-beet face.

"We're doing fine." Replied Yusuke, when he felt a slight wind against his arm.

He turned to see an empty pavement where Hiei had stood.

"What's with him?" Yusuke scratched his head, a look of confusion stamped on his features.

"Hm. I'm not sure, Hiei's been acting unusual today." Kurama thought it was probably best if he kept Hiei's multicolored complexion a secret for now.

"He's unusual EVERYDAY!" Keiko said with a huff. "Whoever heard of a green guy with eyes all over his body!?" (A/N: I agree. . . people don't see that very often, do they? *shrugs*)

The two reikai tantei sweatdropped at Keiko's remark.

*~*

Kurama opened his emerald eyes and gasped when he saw a pair of similar eyes staring back at him.

"Hehe." Shuichi giggled mischievously. "Were you having a good dream, Shuichi-chan?" He smirked.

"Yea, until I saw you." Kurama replied mockingly whilst pushing his brother away. "Finished with your homework?"

"Actually, that was why I "woke" you up, I need help on a couple of them." Said Shuichi as he fell softly near the foot of the bed by his big brother's push.

Smiling, Kurama got up and walked over to the desk where Shuichi's math homework lay sprawled accompanied by a pencil. Shuichi followed and sat down in his chair while Kurama pulled another for himself.

*~*

Unknown by Kurama, a shadow perched skillfully on a tree-branch. The shadow's dark cloak and black hair made him invisible in the night as the wind rustled the leaves beside him.

"Hn." Hiei silently watched Kurama through an open window in his room. (A/N: STALKER! Hehe. . . ^_^;)
