Chapter 4- Crushed

DISCLAIMER: Yeah, same as the last chapter.  I don't own YYH, I own Jenny, and I don't own Linkin Park, yadda, yadda, yadda.  By the way, Aleks, Brian, and Aaron are my real friends in real life.  Cool, yes?

Jenny took Hiei to her room and laid him on her bed.  "Why are we here?" he asked, about to get up. 

"Sh, I'm just gonna take care of your wounds.  Just calm down while I go get the first aid."  She walked to her closet and came back with the aid. 

"Do you get hurt that much?" he asked out of curiosity, noticing that she keeps an aid in her closet.

"Yeah, but they're not really that serious.  It's mostly from soccer practice or training with Kurama," she told him.  She then felt around his side for the fractured bone again and then popped it back into place.  She looked up at him and saw him clutching her bed sheets tightly.  She wrapped his cage quickly.

"Does it really hurt that much?" she asked him. 

"No, it's fine.  Thank you but I have to go now." 

"Dude, are you crazy?  You have to rest before you bleed to death!" she told him. 

"I'll be alright!  You don't need to worry about my health, but worry about your own!"

 "Please, at least rest for a little bit," she told him.  He looked back into her eyes to see if she meant it, or if she was trying to be nice. 

"Hn, fine but only for tonight."
Jenny ran downstairs but then stopped went she looked at her outfit.  She was still a Youko.  Oh great!  I forgot to ask Kurama how I turn back into a human!  She went down anyway, figuring it was best that she should tell her parents.

"Mom, dad?  I need to talk to you about something." 

"Jenny, is that you?"  Her mother ran to greet her child when she saw a Youko in her place. 

"Mom, it's still me.  I'm just a demon right now," she told her. 

"Oh, I knew the day would come, but why so soon?" she asked. 

"Jenny?  Where have you been this past week?" her father asked. 

"Dad, I thought Koenma told you!  A demon kidnapped me and took me to the Makai!" 

"The Makai?" 

"You know, the demon world."

 "Yes, I know that!  Jenny, you're…you're a…you're a Youko!"

"Yes dad, I know that.  Why'd you keep it a secret from me?" she asked. 

"We didn't want you to feel like an outsider, dear."  "Mom, dad, I'm not gonna feel like an outsider.  It's just that you should've told me.  I'm gonna go get something to eat okay?" Jenny ran up the stairs and sat down with Hiei. 

"Sorry it was kind of long.  I was talking with my parents about being a demon," she explained.  He looked down at the food.

 "What is it?" 

"It's sushi!  I think you might like it; this is really good."  Hiei just looked at it for a while, but finally gave in and took a bite. 

"Um, Hiei?  Can I ask you a question?" she asked. 

"Hn." 

"Well, how do I turn back to my human form?" 

"Concentrate into being your human form."  He finished eating and was about to go downstairs.

 "Wait a second!  I don't want my parents to know that I have a boy in my room and I didn't even tell them." 
Later that night, Hiei was still awake and he was looking out of Jenny's window.

 "Hiei, you're still awake?" she asked.

 "I was thinking."  "About what?" 

"It's nothing important," he replied. 

"Hiei, if you could stay up all night thinking about it, I think it's important enough."  He pressed his lips against hers out of nowhere, attempting for a deep kiss.  She kisses him back for about 30 seconds and they both pulled away.  "I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from," he told her, turning away. 

"No Hiei, it's alright, but where did that come from?" she asked out of curiosity. 

"I don't know…" He looked up at the girl he met months ago.  They both hated each other, but now they were sharing a kiss.  The distance between them faded again as they both fall into another kiss, this one much deeper with more emotion. His tongue brushed against her lips, asking to come in and she accepted.  They soon fell asleep in each other's arms, too tired from the day's surprises.

The following Monday, Jenny returned to school for her final day. 

"Kurama, what's going on?" 

"The tests are cancelled as a treat and all classes are cancelled.  We get to do whatever we want today since it's the last day."

 "Really?  Awesome!"

 "Is there something going on between you and Hiei?" he asked. 

"Um, why do you want to know?" 

"Jenny, there's something going on and I know it.  Since we came back from Makai, you two have been acting kind of strange."  She kept silent and walked to her locker.  "There is something going on, isn't there?" he implored.  She simply looked up at him, and then sighed.

"If you want to know, you can just ask Hiei.  He's standing right behind you," said Jenny.

"Kurama, we need to talk."  The two demons looked back at Jenny.  "Alone, if you don't mind."

"Um, go ahead Kurama.  I'm just gonna be outside," and she just walked away.

"So what's wrong Hiei?" Kurama asked. 

"Jenny."

"What do you mean?  Are you two fighting again?" he asked, sounding a bit annoyed about the fighting topic.

"No it's not that.  I'm starting to feel kind of strange around her."

"You mean…?"  "Hn, yeah."

The two demons walked over and found Jenny sitting under a tree, writing something in her notebook.  "Are these seats taken?" Kurama asked.  "Not now," Jenny smiled. 

"Hiei, what are you doing here?  Are you gonna come here next year?" she asked.

"Hn, as if I'd come to a school full of ningens.  I am a warrior, not a student."  Jenny laughed softly at his comment and pulled out something.

"Here Hiei, it's a Linkin Park CD.  I think you might like it and you could just borrow Kurama's CD player or mine if you want," Jenny told him.

"Hey what about me?" Kurama asked, sounding slightly jealous.

"You?  I just burnt the Evanescence CD for you…and it's in my book bag."  She began looking thru the bag and she finally found it behind a few notebooks and extra pairs of clothes.

"What are those clothes for?" Hiei asked, confused.

"Oh, I'm just gonna go out a bit tonight with some of my friends.  We're gonna go bowling and probably see a concert."

"Who's going?" Kurama asked. 

"That's the thing.  Aleks, Brian, Aaron, and I are going but we have two extra tickets.  You guys want to come?  It's the Trapt concert and it's only for one night," Jenny asked.

"Sure, sound good to me!  I could use a little celebration on the last day of school."  The two looked over at Hiei.  "Hn, I'll go I guess."

~*~

After they had gone to the concert, Hiei and Kurama were walking Jenny back home.  "That was a pretty good concert, Jenny.  Do you agree Hiei?" the red head demon asked.  "Hn, I guess."  Jenny just shrugged and took out her house keys.  "Thanks for walking me home, guys.  I guess I'll see you later?" she asked.  They both nodded.

Walking back, the two kept said nothing until Kurama broke the silence.  "I think I'm having a strange feeling for Jenny.  It's been going on for years now and I don't know how to explain it.  I just know that I have to tell her somehow."  Hiei looked up at Kurama and sighed.

"You know that you are not the only one who likes the fox as well," Hiei told him.  Suddenly Kurama remembered, and they just stood there, silence taking over once more.  What are they supposed to do?  Two best friends who like the same girl, but then again, only one could be with her but who?

Andy: That's a wrap!  You all can leave for now but come back within two days, okay?

Kurama: Two days?

Andy:  Yes!  Yusuke and Kuwabara, I expect you two to come as well!  We are gonna need you for the next chapter!

Yusuke: "I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold…" Huh?  What?

Andy: URAMESHI!!!  I'm stressed out right now okay?  I'm having mood swings, my final examinations are coming up, and I am going to have to teach a class tomorrow!  Don't you dare get me pissed off!

Jenny: Uh boss, I'll bring the dope in case he didn't hear what you just said, okay?

Andy: (sighs) Alright, thanks Jenn.  Aleks, Brian, and Aaron…you guys can go now.

Aleks: Oh, really?  I wanted to stay longer with you!

Andy: (sweat drop) Dude, we have school tomorrow.  Go…to…bed…now!

Brian and Aaron: DENIED!  (Both run off)

Andy: Okay boys and girls, I will update again as soon as I can, okay? Okay!  Now please go and do something constructive until the new chapter of "Take Me By the Hand" is available online!
