*Pouting* I leave for Las Vegas tomorrow, my suitcase is packed, I have my Harry Potter: Order of The Phoenix on my dresser, ready for me to read. So I will not be doing anything here unless for some miraculous reason there's a computer with internet access in our hotel room. *Snorts* That's likely...
This chapter is really just making the transition to Friday (AKA the good part), so it's really just a funny chapter, and NOT serious at all...well, okay, maybe a little...it's just a cute little accident I thought up...
I guarantee that at the end, though, you will either be laughing, or you will be saying "Poor Hiei!!" Or both.
Disclaimer: I do own Yu Yu Hakusho. I do own Bronwyn, who is the only original character in this chapter.

*Thursday*
"I don't know why I spend so much time here. Nothing of excitement ever happens." Hiei whispered, lounging on Kurama's couch while Kurama was reading a novel he had just bought.
"I haven't the faintest idea." He said, too engrossed in his book to really listen to what Hiei was saying.
The late afternoon was quickly turning into evening, the setting sun casting shadows along the walls of the living room. Kurama instinctively reached over and flicked the switch on a side table lamp, causing a low warm light to illuminate the immediate area around him.
The two demons sat in silence for a few minutes, not doing much in particular. Kurama sighed, mumuring about how he had something to take care of, and started to close his book. He suddenly stopped, and glanced around for a moment, acting like he was looking for something. Apparently not finding it, he turned to Hiei.
"I have a bookmark in my room. Think you could get it?"
Hiei smirked, standing up. "Nothing better to do."
He had just started to climb the stairs when he heard Kurama's voice. "Remember to knock. You know that Bronwyn is staying in there."
"Hn." he replied.
He quickly made his way up the stairs, but slowed his pace when he reached the top, walking slowly down the dimly lit hallway. As he passed the bathroom door, he could hear the sound of rushing water. She must be taking a shower.
Knowing that it was pointless to knock, he gripped the door handle tightly and twisted it, pushing the door open, a loud creak echoing. As he stepped in, he closed the door behind him.
He glanced around, acting as though he suspected the bookmark to be handed to him. Seeing that it wasn't in his area of vision, he started to rummage through Kurama's many papers that were scattered on his desk, grumbling about how he was nothing more than a servant (Even though he knew that he had volunteered).
He was too intent in his search to even notice that the water had suddenly stopped in the bathroom, and now there was only silence.
He finally discovered the strange piece of paper that had the word "bookmark" printed in small letters across it under a loose piece of notebook paper. Letting it rest in the palm of his hand, he wondered why humans used such idiotic devices. He slowly began to move towards the bedroom door.
But just as he reached for the golden doorknob, it began to jiggle, and he heard Bronwyn's light voice, as she hummed some strange tune.
Panicking, he sprinted hurriedly over to the window and tried to lift it. Damn, it's locked!!
He glanced back at the door to see it opening slowly. With no time to do anything else, he dived under the bed.
And not a moment too soon, for as he turned himself around to glance out from under his hiding place, he watched two moist feet walk gently across the room, dripping water droplets every step.
He watched the feet move from the other side of the room, to the bed, where Bronwyn sat, letting her feet dangle right in front of Hiei's face. He scooted back slightly, so as to make sure that her feet wouldn't hit him by mistake.
She kept humming a melody that Hiei had never heard before, and she swung her feet back and forth.
Hiei groaned silently, not seeing a way he could get out without her noticing. The bed was located right beside the door, so if he made a move, she would without a doubt hear some kind of noise.
She abruptly stood up, and moved to the far side of the room slowly, taking long strides. Hiei, out of curiosity, inched a little bit farther up, peering out from under the bed, and could see Bronwyn standing in front of the mirror, a pink towel wrapped around her sleek figure, trying to work a comb through her tangled hair.
He also noticed that her attention was completely on her reflection, groaning as the comb stuck on a knot in her hair.
I just have to get out the door...she'll never notice...
He inched over to the side of the bed, and prepared to dash for the door.
Sprinting madly, he had almost touched the doorknob, when his foot caught on a scrunched up spot in the carpet, causing him to fall to the floor with a loud thud!
Bronwyn spun around wildly, only to see Hiei sprawled out on the floor...
******************************************************************************
Kurama, who had started to read his novel once again when Hiei had left to fetch his bookmark, was starting to fall asleep when an ear-shattering scream filled his ears, causing him to jump up in alarm.
This scream was followed with many more just like it, though now he could clearly hear "OUT, OUT, OUT!! GET OUT!!!" OUT NOW, YOU PERVERT!!!"
After many screams, Hiei finally came stumbling down the stairs, clutching his knee tightly. Kurama watched curiously as he collapsed onto the couch.
"What the heck happened?"
Hiei didn't answer for a moment, taking a deep breath. "She can kick pretty hard." He whispered finally.
"She hit you?!?!"
"Kicked me six times."
Kurama was trying to keep a straight face, even though it was getting difficult. He felt like bursting out in laughter.
They both suddenly heard a door slam upstairs, and then loud stomping across the hallway. The stomping started to move down the stairs.
Bronwyn appeared in the living room, now fully clothed, wringing out her damp hair. She glared venomously at Hiei.
Hiei jumped off the couch pretty quickly and started to move towards the front door. "Good-bye." He stated before disappearing out into the night.
Kurama couldn't help himself anymore. He started to let out small breaths of laughter. Bronwyn turned to look at him with an angry expression.
"Do you think this was funny?" She growled.
Kurama couldn't help but nod.
"I was....and he...and...okay, so it was a little funny...but that still doesn't give you the right to laugh!" Bronwyn stated, feeling her cheeks getting red.
"Sorry." Kurama whispered, though still smiling. "But don't be mad at him. I sent him up there in the first place."
"WHAT?? KURAMA!!"
******************************************************************************
Author: I feel pretty bad for Hiei. The poor thing, he was just in the right place at the wrong time.
I know that this chapter was REALLY short compared to my other chapters, but the next one will be REALLY long.
But since I'm feeling in a particularly evil mood today, I've decided to give you some highlights of the next chapter, so you can get riled up for the next chapter, being released in July:
•Zink actually comes out into the real world! You also finally get to know what he looks like (If you're interested).
•A character experiences an emotion they haven't in a LONG time. This emotion is happiness.
•Zink's original threat (The whole sister-murdering vision thing) Is unfulfilled, and a new ultimatum is given.
Do I have to say this again? REVIEW!!!
