*Normal setting...Hiei's lying on the couch in Mones's room,
listening to her Meteora CD again, this time the song "Numb"...Anemone bobs
head along with music, Kurama humming along. Anemone notices readers*
Anemone: hey guys! as you can obviously tell, this is our favorite CD...we're always listening to it...that and other punk rock bands...my favorite music genre...
Hiei: *sarcasm* your "Anemone Fun-Fact of the Day", ladies and gentlemen...a random fact about her life you didn't need to know...
Kurama: *snicker* Hiei...that was uncalled for...
Anemone: *shrug* oh well...rock music keeps me alive and kicking, I don't care who knows it!
Hiei: me neither! I love Linkin Park! *threatening glare* and all those who disagree shall taste my Katana...
Kurama: heh, don't mind him folks...*guards Hiei away from readers* liking certain bands is your own business...
Anemone: whatever, Fox...but anyway, chapter 7! wait, chapter 7? Already?! We're already that far into the story?!
Kurama: yes...but it seems like less because your chapters are relatively short.
Anemone: well we'll just have to fix that, now, won't we? *evil laugh*
Hiei: oh shit...your actually gonna do something mean to me?! but, I thought I settled it with you already! No torture!
Anemone: you'd think with his Jagon Eye he'd sense my CROSSED FINGERS!
Hiei: WHAT?! YOU EVIL NINGEN! *held back by Kurama, who gives her nervous look*
Kurama: that wasn't very wise, Mones...
Anemone: do you seriously think I care? Story!
Chapter 7: A Date Woven
"THAT LITTLE-" Hiei seethed through tightly grit teeth. "Who the HELL does he think he IS taking MY little sister on a DATE?!"
"Hiei, calm down," Kurama's emerald eyes flashed sternly at his demon friend.
"SCREW YOU I'M GONNA GET THAT LITTLE-UGH!!!" Hiei wailed, holding nothing back in his raw anger. His form jerked into a smudge, sharply tinted flicks of the air with his angry aura.
"Good thing he doesn't know they're at the Butterfly Sanctuary..." Yusuke stared blankly after the angry Hiei, and Kurama slapped his forhead, as Hiei's evil snickers echoed telepathically into the fox's mind, bragging about his new found information.
"Yusuke! He heard you!" the fox scolded sharply at the teenager. "We best pay our last respects on Kuwabara's soul..."
"No, Kurama! You've gotta do something, he looks so mad..." Keiko groaned towards the fox, who had to soften at her antics. With a shifting sigh, Kurama slowly stood from the patch he had prior claimed as his seat, and heading calmly for the butterfly sanctuary.
%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%
Hiei's anger was boiling over as he headed for his destination. "That idiotic fool is not worthy for Yukina! The hell does he think he is?!"
"Hiei, calm down," a familiar tone echoed upwards towards Hiei, who had taken a second's worth a break from his journey. Hiei didn't even flinch at Kurama's presence.
"Leave, Kitsune, or you too shall feel my wrath and stain my Katana!"
"Like you'd ever try to kill your best friend, Hiei."
"I've no friends..." the demon grunted softly, casting his eyes away.
"You've me, as a friend...do I not count?"
"Hn."
"Heh," the fox coughed a chuckle. "I see...is it simply the threat of my father that you wish not to tell anyone your true feelings?"
Hiei didn't even grace this with his usual grunt. The demon simply cast his crimson eyes for Kurama, and melted into nothingness...no doubt towards the butterfly sanctuary.
%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%
"Oh, Kazuma! That was the most fun day I ever had!" Yukina giggled lightly, wrapping her light arms about Kuwabara's neck and dragging him into a light hug. Kuwabara's cheeks stung red as an awkward smile graced his goofy face.
"Heh, well, you know, *baby*" he more grunted out the word 'baby'..."I just wanted you to have fun! With me!"
Yukina giggled lightly, her mint hair falling slightly towards one end as her head tipped in a light angle. Kuwabara, being the head-over- heels romantic he was, gently--and almost awkwardly--brushed his hand against her face to set aside the stray locks of mint cascading about her eyes. His cheeks were burning a mad scarlet at the touch, and Yukina blinked almost confused, yet happy crimson eyes.
Kuwabara pricked slightly at her accepting reaction, but continued to comb her hair aside gently. Yukina smiled softly, a blush tinting her cheeks. Kuwabara chuckled softly, and lightly tucked her bushy mint locks behind an ear. Yukina pricked almost awkwardly, but she didn't care. Maybe, maybe all those funny things he's been saying...all those jokes about true love...maybe, maybe he wasn't joking...maybe he was telling the truth after all this time...and maybe, maybe she was starting to feel the same way. Her breaths escaped her lightly at the thought that she could be in love...but, in truth, she couldn't be happier.
Kuwabara beamed lightly, his face still stained red. Yukina coughed an awkward smile, and, in the spur of the moment, she dug her lips into his. Kuwabara nearly passed out from the shock and joy racking his senses so violently. Yukina was sparked with a wanting for him, and, being as inexperienced as the innocent demon was, she could have hurt him from her forceful kiss. Not that Kuwabara minded, of course...as soon as she ripped away, Kuwabara made HIS move...the teenager gently tucked his hands under her chin, and, softly this time, pressed her lips into his. Yukina fell weak in the knees, drapping her arms about his neck to keep balance.
"Hn," Hiei grunted to himself, seeing the two kiss...willingly. 'I suppose...that she doesn't hate him...and, she deserves to be happy, and if this fool just happens to be what makes her happy, then...well, I'd be an even worse brother than I already am to get in the way...hn...' and with that last thought, the demon kicked off for home.

Kurama, eyes cast downwards, halted from his liesurely stroll when a flash sparked behind him. The fox didn't flinch in away way at Hiei's dash by, but rather smirked, knowing that Kuwabara was indeed alive and well.
"W-whoa!!" a familiar voice wailed shakily just beyond the next turn of the sidewalk. Kurama pricked up somewhat, realizing immediately who it was...Botan. "Botan?" Kurama eased calmly towards the turn, hands tucked neatly in his pockets, a broad stature. Suddenly, a mass of blue clouded his eyes with a sharp, hard impact to his chin. Botan wailed out after her head had rammed into Kurama's, but was more interesting was her oar. She clasped hard onto it, as if for dear life, as it shook violently from side to side.
"Ku-Kurama! H-help-p me!" she wailed as her oar shot viciously upward, and froze, a weightlessness taking over. "AHH!"
"Botan!" Kurama stared up in confusion, his emerald eyes flashing. Suddenly, Botan's oar swooped downward, pulling up just before contact with the pavement, and dragged along...Kurama. The fox demon had been latched against his will to the wooden rower, and it shot straight upward into the air, Botan clasping with all her might, Kurama dangling off the side. His eyes bugged outward at the immense height gained...too high for him to jump and live. Suddenly, the oar stopped, in midair, and there it floated unmoving. Kurama shifted in a weighed sigh, kicking his leg over the oar and gaining a composure on the seat. "Botan, are you alright?"
The Spirit Guide blinked wide, scared candy eyes, patting down her sapphire locks with the last shred of dignity she could muster. "I...I don't know what happened, Kurama..."
"Well, you obviously lost control..." he smiled softly.
"That's just it! I didn't summon the oar! Nor did I steer it!"
"You...you mean it did that...on it's own?!"
"Heh, Bingo..."
"Well, can you steer it downwards?" Kurama's eyes flashed hopefully, until her head shook solemnly.
"I've been trying, Kurama...it won't budge..."
And there they sat in a lacing silence, Kurama's eyes flashing sharply in emerald shock, and Botan's eyes widening broadly in candy innocence.

Anemone and Hiei: hahahaha!
Kurama: that wasn't very nice, Mones...
Anemone: *snickers* sorry, Kurama, dear...but, as I told you before in the last chapter, Hiei's torture will be later.
Hiei: nani?!
Anemone: nia-ha-ha!
*Kurama Vegeta-smirks at Hiei, who pales*
Hiei: you're still gonna torture me?!
Kurama: yes, I think it's fair...
Anemone: yeah, I think I will...don't worry, Kurama, dear...you'll enjoy this little rendezvous with Botan.
Kurama: truly?
Anemone: I think you will.
Kurama: well, then I suppose I'm not mad...
Hiei: I'm pissed enough for the both of us! You're STILL gonna torture me?!
Anemone: obviously...but anyways, review, and adieu.
