Kitty Ears "I Don't Do Kitsitting"
A/N: I have to admit, my Shinta is sort of a copy of Kenshin, but as you can see, totally different. Kenshin from "Rurounin Kenshin," can use a sword. Shinta can only use his pestering. ^^;

*TWEAK!*
*TWEAK!*
*TWEAK! TWEAK!*
"..." Hiei growled and moved only to discover that he felt warmer then usual. He moved again, this time something moved on top of him.
A crimson red eye snapped to see a kid no bigger then Genkai with red-brownish hair tied up in a high ponytail with his bangs almost in his voilet eyes and long on the side of his face. He wore black tank top and blue denim jeans.
His eyes widen and sat up quickly, sending the chibi kit flying off him. The Fire-Demon glared at Shinta as he flipped back the cover and walked towards him.
"Explain why the hell you are here?" Hiei growled, kneeling to the kit. Shinta looked up at him and smiled.
"Auntie Lii said that you wouldn't mind kitsitting me as she went to school." He added a huge smile at the end of his sentence. Hiei glared and saw his beanie on top of the kit's head.
He quickly reached out and snatched it back. The kit just blinked and shrugged standing up. "So, what are we going to do uncle Hiei?" He asked.
Hiei growled, while stuffing the beanie back on his head to cover up his kitten ears. "Kid, I'm not your uncle. And 'we,'" He turned towards him. "Are not going to do anything. I'm going to take you back home."
"But Auntie Lii won't be there. She's going to be at school."
"Then I'll just have to drop you off at her school." The Fire-Demon tossed on a black shirt and black pants. He heard sniffing and the smell of salt water.
Hiei turned to see Shinta standing there sniffing. The half Koorime rolled his eyes. "Stop that."
"B-but you don't like me." Shinta sniffed. "And don't say you do, because you wouldn't be so mean." And then began cried loudly.
Hiei flinched then relaxed. "Stop it. Stop crying already, Shinta!" The kit obeyed, but sniffed a little. "I do like you... maybe." He looked to see the kit give him the puppy look with his wide violet eyes.
"Oh right... OH RIGHT!! KNOCK IT OFF WILL YOU!???" Shinta grinned and jumped on the Fire-Demon's head.
"So, what are we going to do today, Uncle Hiei?"
Hiei's muscle twitch, "How many times have I told you to stop calling me your UNCLE!?!??"

Kurama sat at his familiar cafe, drinking his latte as he watched people and couples go by. He set the hot mug down and rubbed his hands to keep them warm.
The crisp weather was beginning to move in fast, chasing the summer heat away like a fox chasing a rabbit. Before anybody would know it, fall will be here and soon winter.
The redhead kitsune was about to raise the mug to his lips again when someone made a noise in their throat to catch his attention. He turned to see Maya standing there, dressed in a white jacket zipped part way to show she wore a green shirt underneath it with beige pants.
She smiled and Kurama gestured at the empty chair across from him. Maya took the invitation and sat in it and looked at Kurama.
Catching her stare, Kurama turn towards her. "Wha?" Maya shook her head, smiling.
"Nothing, I like to watch you eat and drink." The redhead raised a slender eyebrow and set down his mug, while turning to look at her.
"Usually, it's the guys doing that to the girls, not the other way around." Maya smiled again and leaned back in her chair, sighing.
"Is something bothering you, Maya?" asked Kurama, waving the waiter over for the girl to order something.
"I'm a little confused." She confessed. The kitsune looked at her in questioning.
"About... what?"
"Us?" Kurama raised his eyebrow higher. Maya sighed again and leaned across the table and closed her hands around Kurama's soft ones. "I mean, we've been going out for at least a month now, and well..."
Kurama lowered his head to catch her eye. "Well what?" He pressed, wanting to know what she wanted to say. Maya gave another sigh and began to pull her hand away, but the fox caught them. She looked into the green eyes.
"What is it that's been bothering you, Maya? Tell me, please." His green eyes sparked with concern. Maya bit her bottom lip.
"Is our relationship just a way for you to heal from your last one?" Maya finally asked.
Kurama sat there in shock, unaware of what to say.
Maya sat there; still biting her bottom lip then began to get up. "Iie." Kurama pulled on her hands for her to sit back down.
The kitsune just sat there, trying to let the question sink in for sometime. He then, finally looked at Maya, as if he found something funny about the question.
"What gave you that idea, Maya?"
Maya cast her glance to the side before looking at Kurama from the corner of her eyes. "Nothing. I just wonder because at times you seem to be lost in your own thoughts. Especially when we are on a date."
Kurama sat back, shaking his red mane. "I'm... Gomen-nasi Maya. Truly I am. I haven't realized how I've been acting on our date."
"See, that's the problem Shuuichi. You really haven't notice how you've been acting on all of our dates." Kurama rubbed his arm shamelessly. He was starting to feel guilty.
Maya sighed again and looked around. She truly did like Kurama, and even confessed to liking him when they were in grade school, before Kurama was attack by some boy dressed in a black cloak and a white scarf around his neck and around his forehead.
She turned to look at Kurama focusing his gaze on a small pond near them. She opened up her mouth to speak, but was cut off by someone standing there.
~*~
Hiei glared at the girl that was sitting with HIS fox. He didn't really like how the ningen girl was talking to him.
Shinta spotted the muscle underneath the Fire-Demon skin twitching and saw his hot red glaze, staring at someone. He followed the gaze to see a pretty ningen girl talking to Kurama, only his Great Cousin look like he was being hurted by her words.
The chibi kit looked back at Hiei and smiled. *So, Auntie Lii was right. Uncle Hiei still likes Cousin Kurama.* His smiled widen and grabbed Hiei's hand.
The Fire-Demon turned his red eyes onto the kit. "What?"
"I wanna go visit Kurama, Uncle Hiei." Shinta whined, pulling on his hand. Hiei nodded and began to take the kit towards his Great Cousin.
"And for the last time. Stop calling me uncle.'"
"Hai, Uncle Hiei." Hiei growled in annoyance.
~*~
Kurama looked up to see his lover standing there with his cousin nephew; curiosity began to bubble up in him.
*Since when did Hiei started babysitting.* He wonder. Hiei caught the kitsune staring at him curious, but focus his gaze on the kit he was with now. Who was too busy eating the candy from the dish that came with the check.
Maya looked at the two, her eyes almost widen as she recognize Hiei from long ago. She quickly turn her attention to the small boy that was next to him, and recognize him as Lii's nephew.
"Hello there, Kenshin." Maya smiled. Shinta turn towards the girl and return her smile before grabbing her hand.
"Come Maya-chan, I wanna go see the fishies." The girl started to protest but by the strength of the youngest Nine-Tail kit, she didn't have much of a choice.
Hiei watch the kit go with the ningen girl. He turned towards Kurama gaze and raised an eyebrow. "Wha?"
Kurama shook his head, hiding his smile. "Nothing. I was just wondering when you started babysitting." He turn his attention towards the two kids.
Hiei snorted. "It's not called babysitting, it's called kitsitting." Kurama looked at him, quite surprised to see Hiei into it baby/kitsitting. "And I don't do kitsitting, but I was force to this time. That baka whelp is going to pay when she gets out of school."
*Maybe he's not into it.* Kurama open his mouth to say something else, but clamped it shut deciding not to. Hiei raised his eyebrow higher, but didn't press. He just folded his arms and watch Shinta splash Maya.
"Come on kid," Hiei called out. "We have to go finish the rest of my errands, then I'll go buy us some lunch."
"Errands?" Kurama questioned. Hiei gave a stiff nod. The kitsune just lowered his head. "Oh."
"Is there something you want to talk about Kurama?" The Fire-Demon asked, looking at him sternly. The redhead shook his head.
"Iie." Hiei shrugged no bothering to press any further once more.
"Hey kid! Let's go!" Hiei called out once more before turning to walk. Shinta wave good-bye to Maya and race towards his cousin and gave him a peck on his cheek before hugging him.
"Don't let her words get to, Kurama." Shinta said. Kurama blinked. "She's a ningen that doesn't know all about you. Just remember, you have us to love you no matter what."
Kurama smiled and patted his head, before kissing his forehead. "You better go before Hiei gets ticked off." Shinta nodded and gave him another kiss before taking off after the Fire-Demon.
Kurama watch him go before turning his attention towards Maya. Maya looked back at him.
He sighed and stood up. It was about time they broke up this relationship.
~+~
"What took you so long?" asked Hiei, letting the kit grab a hold of his hand.
"I just told Kurama how much we love him no matter what happen or what he does." Shinta looked up at him and smiled.
Hiei looked back down at him then look back up and snorted. Shinta frown. "Don't you like cousin Kurama anymore Uncle Hiei?" he asked.
"I used to, and stop calling me 'uncle,'" Hiei told him for who knows how many times. "But something he did long ago, really hurt me."
"You sure he mean to do."
Hiei shrugged. "Maybe you didn't give him a chance to explain himself."
"What's there to explain?" Hiei growled. "He was on the floor with Botan on top of him, and their mouth connected, kid. You tell me what's there to explain."
Shinta sighed. "Well, maybe it was just an accident. Maybe somebody push cousin Botan into cousin Kurama, and their mouth accidentally connected when they didn't want to." He looked up to see if Hiei was listening, then continued. "Accidents do happen, Uncle Hiei."
The Fire-Demon stopped and looked down at Shinta. "Now, when did you become such a expert of love and relationship."
Shinta shrugged. "Talk shows." Hiei chuckled and rubbed the kit's hair.
Shinta smiled and pulled away in attempt to save his hair. "And people do give other people a second chance too." He said. "Will you give cousin Kurama and second chance, Uncle Hiei?"
"Once you stop calling me 'uncle,' I will." Shinta grinned and latch himself to one of Hiei's leg.
"Suki de, Uncle Hiei!!!" shouted the kit in Hiei's pant leg. The half Koorime rolled his eyes and tried to pull Shinta from his leg.
"For the last time.... STOP CALLING ME YOUR UNCLE!!"
