Lizzie:*yawns*I'm tired!!*rubs eyes*Why'd ya wake me up?

Genkai:You snore in your sleep,did you know that?

Lizzie:Yusuke does too!!'Sides,I wasn't snoring last night.My throat would be dry if I had snored.

Genkai:*rolls eyes*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Everyone.......((Hiei's POV))

Lizzie was released from the hospital about 5 days after she woke up.Her head hurt her often,but she wouldn't lie down.Everyone teased her about having a picture of me in her locket.She didn't care,she just ignored it.She's amazing.She can handle anything.

We were at Genkai's house,sitting on the floor of her den.She had invited us to come there because she was going out for a few days.We were staying there a night or so.

Lizzie looked at her watch."Well,since it's gettin' late and I doubt if any of the guys,save Kurama can cook,why don't I go make some dinner?Don't worry,Yusuke,I won't posion it!"Her eyes gleamed as she went into the kitchen.Botan,Keiko,Kate,and Yukina followed her.

"So,Hiei,while it's only us men,why don't you confess it?"It was Kumane speaking.He was technically still a ghost,but Lizzie seemed to be working out a way to fix that.

"Confess what?"I still couldn't believe that she didn't love me......After that day,before she hit her head on that rock,I thought,just maybe......

"You know what!Don't play dumb!"Kumane was serious.He really wanted me to confess that I loved Lizzie,his baby sister.

I mumbled,hoping that they wouldn't hear.Yes......I do......"Kurama had apparently heard,but kept silent.Kumane nodded,whether or not he heard,I'm not sure.

"Hey,guys,what ya so quiet about?"Lizzie's head was sticking out of the kitchen doorway,looking from one boy to the next,until her gaze fell upon me.I looked away."Well,doesn't look like anyone died.....Ya playin' the quiet game?Or'd ya make some kind of bet?"

Kurama came to the rescue."We just aren't in a talkative mood.That's all."He was closer to the door than me,so I couldn't make eye contact to thank him.I still refused to look at her.

"Suit yourself!Like s'ghetti?"I was unfamiliar with this word.All the other boys gave their assentment.Someone put their hand on my shoulder.I looked to see who it was once I was sure Lizzie was gone.I was expecting Kurama or Kumane.What I saw shocked me.

"Man,ya know you should just tell her how ya feel,Shrimpy!"It was Kuwabara!He actually was being intellegent."I'm guessing it's Lizzie,right?Just tell her!What's stoppin' ya?"

"Fear......"The word left my mouth before I could stop it.I could feel all of their eyes on me."Don't tell anyone.I do,I really do!I love her......"My eyes began to water,I wiped away the tears on the back of my hand.

I looked down at my scarf.It was stained red-brown((Lizzie's blood and blood tears)) and navy blue((Lizzie's blue tears)).If you didn't know better you would think I had an old American flag around my neck.I took it off and held it close to me.It had her blood and her tears.It smelled like ginger,just like her......

"Come and eat!We made some delicious sauce!"It was Botan's bubbly voice.Everyone went into the kitchen to eat and talk,except me.I stayed where I was,clutching my scarf.After a few minutes,I heard someone come in.

"Aren't you hungry?Or thirsty?If you don't like s'ghetti,I'll make you something else.....I think Genkai has some sweet snow...."It was her.Lizzie.Why had she come to check on me?I was facing the other wall,taking care not to look at her.

"I suppose the Kitsune told you of my weakness for sweet snow?"I felt a hand on my shoulder again,her hand.I shrugged it off.

"Yeah,he did.C'mon,please?You've not eaten properly in days!You've not even had a sip of water!Kurama told me!he's been keeping an eye on you.....If you don't drink something,you'll dehydrate.You've already started to...."

She was right.I was beginning to dehydrate.She sat down next to me,on my right side.I squirmed so that I was facing away from her.In the few seconds I saw her,I noticed she had a glass of water in her right hand.She was still sittting next to me.

She scooted around so that she was right next to me agian.I couldn't help but look at her.At first,I thought her eyes were bleeding.Then I realised that the blood was her tears.I wrapped my arms around her in an effort to comfort her.Her skin felt so soft against my rough hands.She was wearing a low back shirt.

"It's okay,Lizzie....."She squirmed for a minute,then gave in.She leaned back and held the cup of water out towards me.I wanted to make her happy,and she wanted me to drink the water.I gave in and took it.I drank it in one gulp.

She inched closer to me and I wrapped my arms around her again.She was gasping for breath,"Shhh...."I began to hum her lullaby to her.Her head was on my chest just over my heart,one of my arms was wrapped around her back,my other hand was on the back of her head,and my chin resting on the top of her head.

After a few minutes,she stopped having to gasp for breath."Hiei....."Her voice was so soft,I almost didn't hear her.

"Yeah,Lizzie?"I silently stroked her head,hoping she had stopped crying.

"I.....Thank you....Please,come eat something.You need to."Her hand found mine.She squeezed it tightly.I moved my head off the top of hers and looked down at her.She was staring up at me,tears of blood slowly trickling down her face.Who could deny her?

"Alright.I'll come....."I stood up and helped her to her feet.She wiped her eyes on the back of her hand.

"Thank you...."She smiled and continued to grasp my hand as we went into the kitchen.I put my scarf around her neck.

"So,...may I ask-"Kumane got cut short by a look from his baby sister.I didn't see the look,but I don't think that it was that bad.Kumane smiled.

"Hiei,do you like s'ghetti?If ya don't,I'll make ya somethin' else...."Lizzie was speaking softly and still had my hand grasped in hers.She looked up at me,her eyes were stained red from crying.I noticed that they were all eating spaghetti,that must be what s'ghetti is.Those long noodles that Kurama once showed me and forced me to taste.I didn't really like them,but I didn't want her to have to make me something else.

"I like them...."I looked away from her.She obviously knew I was lieing.

"Mmm-hmmm......How about I get you some sweet snow?"She let go of my hand and went over to the ice box.I sat down next to Kurama,where there were two empty seats.

I put my elbows on the table and rested my head in my hands.I was staring down at my feet then I heard a soft clink in front of me and a soft thump next to me.I looked up and saw a bowl of sweet snow in front of me and looked to my side to see Lizzie sitting next to me eating her dinner silently.She glanced up at me for a moment then looked back down at her food.

"So,what're we gonna do in the old fossil's place for a night?It wasn't my idea to stay here...."Yusuke was staring at the ceiling,he had already finished eating.Kuwabara snickered.

"Hey!We could play Truth or Dare!!"He was laughing idiotically.I had heard of the game and rolled my eyes.I remembered that I had come in here to eat something as to make Lizzie happy,so I began to eat the sweet snow in front of me.

"Hiei,you do know what Truth or Dare is,right?"This was Kumane.I nodded."Then let's play after everyone's eaten!It'll be great!As long as there's nothin' improper!!"He gave Yusuke and Kuwabara warning looks.Everyone else nodded in agreement,save Lizzie.

I finished the sweet snow and glanced at Lizzie.She had been watching me most of the time,I felt her gaze."Do you need something,Lizzie?You've been staring at me throughout the entire dinner."I didn't really mind,but I was curious.

"Oh,uh,no,nothin'.......I just tend to do that.I'll stare in a random direction when I'm bored."

"Are you sure?"She nodded.

Kurama stood up."Well,if everyone's finished....."He paused to let anyone who wasn't say something,but all was silent.".....Then let's go play Truth or Dare!"He went out into the den,followed by everyone except me and Lizzie.

"Are you going to play,Lizzie?"I looked at her and smiled gently.

"Are you?'Cause,I'm probably not going to if you don't...."I couldn't help but grin.I could tell she wanted to go play.She smiled at me.

"I will,it's an interesting game to play sometimes."I stood up and smiled down at Lizzie.I held out my hand to help her up.She took it and I pulled her to her feet.We went into the den together,holding hands.I walked with her to where she wanted to sit and helped her sit down,making sure she didn't fall or anything like that.I sat down between her and Kurama.

Kuwabara was grinning."I'll go first!I pick.....Lizzie!"

"Uhmm.....I dunno.....Truth?"

"Is it true that you've got a HUGE,magic tear gem called the Gem of Yin?"

"Yeah....It is..."

((Lizzie's POV))

I looked around the room choosing my victim."How 'bout......."I grinned,well,probably more of a smirk."Kate!"

"I pick dare!I'm no sissy girly girl!"

I couldn't help it,I had to dare her to do it!!"I dare you to kiss Kurama!!"I smirked.

Kate's face looked like a picture had been taken of her when she was talking.Her mouth was open and her eyes were wide."Uhm.....Can I change to truth?"I nodded."Nevermind.I don't trust you with truths......I guess I'll just do the dare.....But,do I have to do it on the lips?"I shook my head.I couldn't be THAT mean,could I?

Kate stood up and went over to Kurama.She kissed him on the top of the head really quickly.Kurama pretended he didn't even know what was going on."Hm?What?What fell on my head?"He half grinned at Kate."What was your dare?"Kate blushed.

"I pick......Yusuke!"She smiled and went back over to her seat.

"Ahhh.....Truth?"

"Have you ever been improper with a girl?"She smirked and glanced at Keiko then back to Yusuke.

"NO!!I AM NOT PERVERTED!!!!"

"Just pick someone!"

"I pick Hiei!"I rolled my eyes.

"I think I'll quit playing.I don't really like this game that much...."I stood up and went outside.I couldn't stand another second of it!Ecspecially Yusuke daring Hiei.I knew Hiei would pick dare.I went over and sat down on the porch swing Genkai had on her front porch.I stared out at the stars,mezmorized by their beauty.

I heard the door open,but I didn't care.I just continued to stare forward."Are you alright?Do you need anything?"It was Hiei.I crossed my arms across my chest and sighed.

"No!"came my irritated response.It's not that I was irritated with him.I just wanted to be alone.I wouldn't mind if he stayed,though.

"I guess I'll go back inside,then.I just wanted to make sure that you were alright."I heard him open the door.

"No,you don't have to go inside if you don't want to.I'm not irritated with you.I just,wanted to be alone.....It took a minute for me to realise it was you,Hiei....."He didn't close the door.I pulled my feet up onto the swing and rested my head on my legs,still staring at the stars.

"Oh,I guess I'll go inside then.I don't want to bother you..."He opened the door wider and began to go back inside.

"No!You can stay.I just,just wanted to get away from all of them.I wanted to be away from people.I don't care if you're here.I feel safe around you....."He closed the door and leaned against the wall.I could see him out of the corner of my eye.

"Are you sure you don't mind?If you do,I'll go somewhere else......"He was looking at me curiously.

"I couldn't care less.....I like being around you......."I looked at him."Wanna sit down?"He nodded and sat down next to me on the swing.I went back to staring at the stars."They're beautiful,aren't they?"

"Yes,they are.They're magnificent.I only know of one thing more beautiful....."

I didn't know what he was talking about and I wanted to know so that perhaps I could see it."What's that?"I turned my head to look at him again.I put my feet back on the ground and put my hands in my lap.

"Oh,....uhm....The sunrises over oceans.They're beautiful....."

"Oh,yeah.....I love to watch sunrises.The colors seem to just be painted onto the sky......"Hiei nodded and gazed at the moon.It looked sorta full like in a few days time it would be full once again,but it was actually waning((getting smaller)).

It was a cool night for summer.Hiei shivered.I realised I had his scarf and slipped it from around my neck and handed it to him.He just looked at it,but didn't take it."No,you need it more than I do....."He looked up at me and smiled.Awww!!He's so sweet!

For a long time we just stayed there and watched the stars twinkle down at us.Hiei would sigh every now and then.I would yawn.We could hear the others inside.Apparently,Yusuke had just dared Kuwabara to wear a macorroni bra.Kuwabara being himself did it to prove he wasn't a sissy.Everyone was howling with laughter.

I couldn't take it anymore!!I had to tell him!!!!

"Hiei?"

"Yeah,Lizzie?"He looked at me wonderingly.

"I....I love you,Hiei......"I blushed furiously.I could feel it.

".....I love you too,Lizzie....."I looked up at him.Our faces were barely an inch appart.

He put his hand on the back of my head and the next thing I knew,all I could see was the side of his head.Our lips were together,locked.He had kissed me!I didn't care.It was what I had wanted from the beginning!It was a dream come true!!!
