On the balcony.......((Author's POV))
Hiei looked down at Lizzie and saw how happy she was.He put her arms around his neck and lifted her up.He was holding her in an appropriate way,too((a way that Miroku would never dream of holding a girl)).One of his hands was at her waist and the other was supporting her legs.Her head was leaning against his chest and her arms were strung around his neck.
"Seems Hiei's heart of ice has been melted entirely now."Hiei turned to see who the owner of the voice was.It was Kurama.He was standing in the doorway snickering."Well,well,well.....Won't Yusuke and Kuwabara love this?'He had a camera upto his face and had snapped a picture.
"I would shred that if I were you,Kitsune.I have some mail of black on you,too."Hiei death glared him.He went inside,still carrying Lizzie,and went into Rachel's room.Rachel was downstairs,talking to her friend on the phone.Hiei put Lizzie down on the mattress she was sleeping on during their stay.
"Hiei,it's called black-mail.Not mail of black.Besides,I'm only going to use this if I really want to.I wouldn't embarrass you for no reason!"He smiled as Hiei pulled the covers up over Lizzie so that she wouldn't be cold.
"I am not accustom to all these Ningen terms.You know that,Kurama."He went back to the balcony and sensed Kurama following him again."Did you need something?"He sat down on the edge of the balcony again and Kurama sat down next to him.
"I wished to talk to you.About the way you were acting today."Kurama looked over at Hiei.Hiei just stared at the moon,only half aware that Kurama was speaking to him.
"What about it?"He rested his head on his knees."I wasn't acting any different than I usually do."He continued to stare at the half moon.
"You call looking at rings normal?Ecspecially for you,it is very unusual."He snapped his fingers in front of Hiei's face."Are you even listening?I'm serious.I wanted to ask why you took a sudden interest in jewelry."
Hiei waved Kurama's hand out of the way."I don't know.I really don't.I think it has something to do with Lizzie......"Kurama grinned at this comment.He had a feeling he knew now,but he kept a quiet mouth."I really think it does...."He looked at the kitsune unsteadily.
"Well,then maybe you want to propose to her but don't know it yet."Kurama waited for Hiei's denial.But none came.He merely nodded."Of course,your eye may just have learned the beauty of the art of jewelry."Hiei shook his head trying to clear his thoughts.
"I think you may have been correct the first time.I think that maybe I do want to,but am not sure as to whether or not I want to ask....."He still looked unsteady.Kurama laid his hand on Hiei's shoulder.
"Hiei,I was joking with you.There is no need to be unstable."He tried to get this through the fire demon's thick skull,but had no luck whatsoever.They both went to the wreck room to go to bed.Tomorrow would be Sunday,a day that Hiei didn't know the meaning of.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Sunday........((Lizzie's POV))
"Wake up,Lizzie!C'mon!"Rachel was practially shouting in my ear.
"I'm up.I'm up.Couldn't I have just 5 more minutes?"I sat up in bed and rubbed the ear she had been shouting in."What day is it?"
"Sunday.Remeber,you said you would sing at my church?They've been looking forward to it."She smiled.Her hair was in a neat bun on the top of her head and she was wearing a long blue dress.She was ready to head out to church.That must have meant it was 6 in the morning.She always gets ready for church an hour before she needs to.It was the only day of the week she didn't look like a punk.
"Let me guess the time."She grinned then we both answer in unison,"6 a.m."
"I thought your friends might like to go.Kumane is going.He's up and getting ready.He's still the only one who can wake Catilin up."I giggled.Catilin hated waking up in the morning.She also hated going to sleep at night.She is a strange child indeed.
"I'll ask them.Kurama and Yin may want to,but I don't know.Hiei will most definatly stay here.He doesn't even know how special Sundays are!"I got up and went across the hall to the guest's room.
Yin was sound asleep in the bed.I went over to her and shook her awake.She yawned and stretched.I asked her if she'd like to come,but she declined.She said she didn't like going to church and preferred to worship in her own way.I shrugged and left her to her sleep.
In the wreck room,I found Kurama asleep in a red sleeping bag.It was the same color as his hair.I shook him awake too,which took alot less effort.He also declined.He didn't say why,but I think it was the same reason as Yin.I nodded and let him go back to sleep.
I looked around the room trying to find Hiei,which I tried in vain.He wasn't there.I looked in the closet thinking he had fallen asleep in there on accident,Kumane had done that countless times.No Hei there.I knocked on the bathroom door thinking he might be in there.No Hiei,still.
I checked every room upstairs,knowing he wasn't downstairs.I gave up and went into Rachel's room to get dressed.I closed the door and locked it so no one would walk in on me while I was changing.I turned around to go to the window and draw the curtains closed over the window seat,but stopped and froze.
He had come in here while I was looking for him.Hiei was sitting at Rachel's window seat,gazing out into the morning sky.He looked like he hadn't noticed me.He was talking to himself.
"What if Kurama was right?What if that is why I have been acting so unusual?Should I talk to her about it?No.That would only make you more unsteady,Hiei.You're unsteady enough as it is.But what should I do?"
"Maybe you shouldn't sit in someone's room in case someone comes in and begins to change!"I was just playing with him.He jumped when he heard me.He turned around and looked at me a bit shaken."Hey,Hiei."I smiled a bit evilly and leaned against the wall,crossing my arms.
"Hello,Lizzie.I'm sorry.I was just....."He looked back out the window.
"Doesn't matter.I don't care.I was only playing."I went over to the window seat and sat down next to him."I was looking for you.I wanted to ask you if you'd like to come to church with me,Rachel,Auntie Christian,Kumane and Catilin."I looked at him to see how he reacted.
"What is 'church'?"I exlplained that it was where people went to worship etc.,etc.,etc.He nodded."I think I would like to come with you,if you don't mind."I smiled.
"I don't care.Just don't set anyone or anything on fire."We both smiled.I reached behind his head and untied his bandana.He didn't know what I was doing,so he waited patiently.When he realized what I was doing,it was too late.You see,at the time he thought I didn't know about his 3rd eye.But I had seen it when he was in the Dark Tournament.
"No!Don't-"His bandana fell into his lap.He was aghast.He looked like Hell and Heaven had come to pick out their newest members and he was first pick for Hell.I decided to make him think I didn't know about it.
"A-a-you-hell......"I covered my eyes in false-disgust and shock."You're a Jaganshi?!Evil!Evil!You lied to me all this time?!"He got upset and I figure I shouldn't have toyed with him.He began to cry.I sensed it.I lowered my hands and looked him in the eyes.He had buried his face in his hands.
"You are right.....!I should have told you.....!"I leaned closer to him and grabbed his hands away from his third eye.He looked up at me in self-disgust.His eyes were shining with tears,well,his 2 normal eyes.I leaned slightly closer.
"Hiei!I was toying with you!!"I screamed it in his ear so that he would listen."I knew about your Jagan!I saw the Dark Tournament!!"He still seemed like he hadn't heard me.I slapped him straight across the face.He came back to earth and looked at me in self-shame.
I leaned even closer to him and kissed him.It was a lip-lock kiss.I drew away from him and he was shocked.I could tell it.His eyes were wide and he was a little shakey.I re-fixed his badana around his forehead so that his 3rd eye was no longer visible.He stood up,unlocked the door,and left without a single sound.
"I knew that would get it through his head."I smiled and closed and locked the door.It only took me a few minutes to change into my dress.It was a long,green,Chinese looking dress.My hair was down and super-straight.I went out onto the landing to find Rachel and Catilin dressed like bobsie-twins.Kumane was wearing some khaki pants and a weirdly designed indigo and yellow shirt.
I heard Yin's voice from the guest room."Why did Hiei just go out onto the balcony with a look of utter shock on his face?"Yin was now awake and came out of the guest's room and yawned.They all looked at me.Kurama came out of the wreck room and he had obviously seen the look and he raised his eyebrows at me like everyone else had.
"Why's everyone lookin' at me?I didn't do nothing!I mean,I didn't do anything!I did nothing!I swear it!"I looked from one face to the next and so on and so on until I had looked at everyone's face.They didn't believe me."Okay!Okay!I did something!I took off Hiei's bandana.He thought I didn't know about his 3rd eye.I made him think that was right.When he began to cry,I tried to explain that I already knew about it."
"Let me guess,he didn't believe you?"Kurama quirked an eyebrow at me.
"Right.He refused to believe me.I had to get it through his head somehow..........So.......I sorta......Well.....Kissed him......."I felt myself blushing.Kurama smiled.The others snickered,giggled,or chuckled.
"I bet Hiei liked that...."Kurama's grin widened."Hiei has been acting odd lately.I think I should tell you about it later."He went back into the wreck room to put up his sleeping things.Yin went back into the guest room to make up the bed and change.The rest went downstairs to go to church.It took 30 minutes to get there and church started in 40 minutes.
I went out onto the balcony to tell Hiei we were going to church if he still wanted to come.He was standing on the edge,leaning on the railing.He had his head in his hands.He was muttering to himself.I didn't want to shock him again,so I made my footsteps and breathing loud.He heard me and turned his head slightly to acknowledge that I was there.
"Hiei,we're leaving for church now.Do you still want to come?"I drew level with him and leaned on his shoulder.He put his arm around me and kissed my forehead.I closed my eyes and waited his answer.The others that were going to church were right below us,right under the balcony.It was so quiet that they could hear our every word.
"If you still want me to.I doubt if you would though.After I lied to you."I opened my eyes and looked up at him.
"Of course I still want you to!I love you,Hiei.I already knew about your 3rd eye."I nuzzled his neck a little to convince him.I think it was working.He smiled a little."Hiei,I shouldn't have toyed with your mind like that.It was wrong.I'm sorry.Forgive me?"
"Of course.I could never be mad at you."He tightened his grip around my shoulders."I'll come."I drew away from his grip and headed downstairs.Hiei followed me and drew level with me.Our fingers laced together.
"C'mon!Rachel's driving.You might want to stop her."Catilin was waving her arms for us to come.Hiei and I quickened our paces a little.Kumane and Rachel had already claimed spots of drivers.Catilin and Auntie Christian were going with Kumane in Uncle Herman's old car.They had never gotten rid of it.Rachel was driving her car and Hiei and I were going with her.
We all got into the cars and headed off towards church.I sat in the front with Rachel.Hiei sat in the back.I asked him if he wanted me to sit back there with him,but he said no.
"Hey,Rachel!You're doing a great job of driving.Last time I was with you when you were driving,you had only gotten your lisence 2 weeks before."We both laughed at the memory.We were only a few minutes away from the church and Hiei hadn't said a word.
"Hiei,you still alive back there?"Rachel knew I was thinking that and asked it for me.She even remembered not to take her eyes off of the road.I turned to look at him and he was half asleep.I giggled.
"Hey,Cheetah,I know why Hiei's been so quiet.He's half asleep!"We both giggled like school girls.Hiei woke up entirely and shook his head.
"Did I fall asleep?"He looked at me giggling and smiled."What's so funny?"
"In the following order:yes and nothing."I smiled at him then turned around to sit correctly in my seat.We had reached the church and Hiei was about to get his big surprise.
We all sat in the middle row.I sat on the aisle,Hiei was on my right,Kumane next to him,then Rachel,then Catilin.Auntie Christian was in the aisle in her wheel chair on my left.When it was time for me to sing,Hiei gave me a shocked look.I hadn't told him I was singing.
I stood up and walked up to the front of the church.It was a small church,so I wasn't nervous.I waited for the right time in the music,then began:
"When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
Our God is an awesome God
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
Our God is an awesome God
The Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
And so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night
Our God is an awesome God
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light
Our God is an awesome God
Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not
Too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God"
There was alot of applause for such a small congregation.I turned off the microphone and went back to my seat.Hiei and my family had to be clapping the loudest.I sat down next Hiei,where I had been sitting before.He stopped clapping and put his arms around me.The clapping finally died away and the preacher finished the sermon.
"That was wonderful,Isabell!Now,let us remember this Proverb of the 4th chapter and the 13th verse:Take fast hold of instruction:let her not go:keep her;for she is thy life.Keep this in mind this week and see what happens.You may go."He smiled.
After the sermon,we all got back into the cars.This time I got into the back of the car so I could sit with Hiei.I was tired and almost fell asleep on him.He didn't care.He just stroked my hair.It was still blue-black.I had never finished dying it.
"Hey,Lizzie?"Rachel was calling back to me.I made a weird noise to acknowledge her."You did great!The congregation loved it!"She was trying to get Hiei to say something,I could tell."Didn't you like it,Hiei?"There it was!She asked him!
"Yes.It was magnificent."He twirled some of my hair on his finger.I leaned my head closer to him.I had a bit of jet-lag.I couldn't imagine how much Kurama and Yin must've had.They had never traveled to America before.Hiei didn't have any because he never slept.He massaged my hand in his.It felt good.
"Hiei,you don't have to act like you and her are just normal friends.I know you're more.You can just pretend I'm not here.Everything you say and do will be kept under wraps.Except from Kurama.I'll tell him if he asks.Only him,though."He began to braid my hair.I didn't know that he could braid.
"Right.I will keep that in mind."He smiled.I could sense it."I just am uncomfortable.You understand,right?"Rachel giggled from the front seat.
"I understand.I was just telling you that you are perfectly safe here.Anything you say can't and won't be held against you."She giggled again."It's normal to feel uncomfortable when you're with your girlfriend and someone else."
"What?!What did you say?!"He stopped braiding my hair and laced his fingers with mine.He thought I was awake while Rachel thought I was asleep.They were both right and both wrong.I was half and half.
"Calm down.Lizzie tells me just about everything.She tolde me the 2 of you admitted to loving each other.That makes you boyfriend and girlfriend.She's asleep.I'm positive.Even if she's not,she knows it."She sighed.
"I'm sorry.I just am unsteady with this......I....nevermind......I don't want to talk about it....It's nothing personal...."He stroked my head gently and I felt my mind drifting off into another world.I think his mind had already gone into another world,but he was awake.
"Hiei,you love her,and you know you do.Just pretend I'm not here."Rachel snickered."She's asleep.I'm positive.She would have made a noise by now if she were awake."
Hiei continued to stroke my head and I almost went into entire sleep.I jerked myself awake.Hiei calmly hummed my lullaby in my ear.I sat up to get away from the music.I leaned my head on his shoulder.He smiled and braided a little bit of my hair again.I snuggled closer to him and fell asleep.
((Author's POV))
Lizzie had fallen asleep on Hiei's shoulder.He just braided her hair.He was absent minded and deep in thought.'What if Kurama was right?What if I do want her to marry me?Maybe I should tell her.....No!She would think I was crazy.'
"Hiei,we're almost back to my place.Go ahead and kiss her."Rachelsmiled to herself.'He wants to propose!Oh my God!I'm sorry I used Your name in vain.But oh my gosh!Oh my word!'
Hiei looked over at the sleeping Lizzie on his shoulder.He couldn't help but smile when he saw her.He wanted to purpose,but didn't want to propose.He was confused.'What am I supposed to do?I love her desperately.Should I ask her?I mean,if I don't then someone else may ask her before I can.....What the preacher said is right.....'He smiled at the verse.'Take fast hold of instrucion:let her not go:keep her;for she is thy life.But maybe I should start smaller.....'
He shifted his head slightly and kissed Lizzie's cheek.He blushed and unlaced his fingers from hers.His eyes were bright red from silent tears.His tears were on Lizzie's face now,so he wiped them off gently.
"You're so beautiful,Lizzie......"
_____________________________
meanwhile,at the house while the others were at church...........
Yin yawned and stretched after making her bed and changing into normal clothes.Her white hair was tied up in 3 pigtails((not 3 sets.just 1 on the top & 1 on each side)).The black ribbons were super visible against her practically albino hair.She was wearing a blue kimono.
Kurama came into her bedroom wearing his school uniform and had his hair under a traditional Japanese hat.((like what Genkai wears during the tournamen to determine who will learn her techniques))He had a big grin on his face.
"Okay,why ya smilin',Kurama?"Yin plopped down on the bed and waited for his answer.
"It's one simple word:Love.Hiei obviously,truely loves Lizzie.He also is obviously embarrassed about it.I think he wants to propose to her.I really think that he wants to.......What do you think,Yin?Do you think that he wants to?"Kurama flicked his hat with his index finger then sat down next to Yin.
"What?"She looked at Kurama."Oh!Um.....I don't know.I've been concentrating on Lizzie.She seems to want to.Hiei probably does too.But I think they should start out a little smaller."She used her index finger and thumb to show the size of a golf ball.She then smiled."I think Rachel said that Catilin's school is having a dance on Tuesday and needs some more adult supervision.Maybe the 2 of them should go!They would still be able to dance!"
Kurama smiled and looked at Yin passionatly in the eyes.He was smiling for a different reason than Yin.He leaned a little closer to Yin.His eyes were half closed.Yin's eyes were wide.Their heads were an inch apart.
"Kurama?What are you doing?"She was almost gasping for breath.'What has gotten into him?Normally this is something that Yusuke or Kuwabara would do!'Kurama's eyes flicked to hers.
"You'll see....."He leaned even closer and his lips locked on hers.Yin fell over backwards ,Kurama accidentally fell on top of her.He quickly got up and helped her sit up again."Are you alright?"
Yin had swirly eyes.She saw that some of her lipstick was on Kurama's lips.She blushed."I'm fine!I just wasn't expecting that....."She fell back onto her bed again and closed her eyes.She did it purposely.Kurama leaned over her to make sure she was alright.
"Yin.Yin!Yin,are you okay?"Yin opened her eyes,sat up a little,and kissed Kurama quickly on the lips."I suppose I should take that as a 'yes'?"
"Back to the matters of Hiei and Lizzie!"She sat up after Kurama had moved."I really think that going to that dance would be a good idea for the 2 of them.Lizzie was planning on going anyway,but not with anyone.You know,she was just going to take Catilin.We don't have to tell her Hiei is going.But you have to convince Hiei to go.Tell him they just need adult supervision.He trusts you."
Kurama nodded and left the room.Yin followed him.They went downstairs to get some breakfast.They were really feeling the jet-lag.Yin made Kurama some pancakes then poured a bowl of Lucky Charms for herself.Kurama eyed her suspiciously.
"What?!I eat Lucky Charms everyday for breakfast!They're the best!"She filled her spoon with the frosty goodness and put it in her mouth.Kurama cut his pancakes in 2 stacks and puched one stack to the end of his plate and towards Yin."I don't eat pancakes.Never have.Well,I did once.....I didn't like them.May have been 'cause I let Kazuo make them and he can't even make a PB & J sandwich right........."
"Kazuo can't make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?"Kurama almost fell over in laughter when Yin nodded."That is pathetic!"They were in silence for a while."How did you and Kazuo meet,Yin?"She looked up at him like he had asked her the only unanswerable question in the world.
"Well......That is hard to explain....exactly......"Her eyes shifted around the room thinking of an excuse.'I can't tell him the truth.That would make him get scared.But if I lie,he and Kazuo and the Heavenly Bodies will know.What am I supposed to do?!'She took another bite of Lucky Charms.She felt Kurama's gaze on her."Well.......You see........We went to the same school.....And we sort of became really good friends.....I mean REALLY good friends......"She emphasized the word 'really'.
Kurama had a quizzical look for a moment,then his eyes widened in horror."You mean-......?"When Yin nodded,he quickly left the room and went up to the balcony.He locked the doors so that she couldn't get out to him.He needed some time to think.He took off his hat and let his red hair blow in the breeze.
"She and Kazuo......I should have known better than to trust my emotions....."He leaned on the railing.His head was resting in his hands."Why must emotions be so decieving?"He stared at the sky in wonder,then he heard a voice from below.
"Show me the meaning of Heinz Bologna!"It was Yin trying to cheer him up with misheard lyrics to a song that quite related to him.He just continued to stare at the sky,ignoring her."Kurama!I know you can hear me!It's not what you think!"
He spoke softly to himself,so that Yin couldn't hear."If it's not what I think,then why does it feel so true?"He went away from the railing and sat down,leaning against the wall.He began to sing the correct version of the song."Show me the meaning of being lonely.Is this the feeling I need to walk with?Tell me why,I can't be there where you are.There's something missing in my heart."He was singing softly so he could barely hear himself.
"Kurama!"Yin was agrivated.She wanted him so badly.
Kurama spoke to himself,explaining how the song related to him."Do I need to walk alone?But,what is the meaning of lonliness?There is something missing in my heart.Dad......Why can't I be there where you are?"
He heard some cars below.He figured they were everyone else.He remained where he was,though.
______________________________
Down below........
They all got out of the cars,looking rather happy.Yin looked just the opposite.Catilin was bouncing up and down and immediatly went over to Yin.
"Why the long face?Get bitten by a cicada?"She was trying to be funny,but it wasn't working.Hiei had woken Lizzie up,so she took over.
"Catilin,she doesn't know what a cicada is."Lizzie turned to Yin and grinned."Show me the meaning of Heinz Balogna!"Everyone else giggled or chuckled.Yin remained silent and solemn.
"Okay,Yin,we know somethin's up!What is it?"Kumane gave her the biggest noogie.
"The problem is up on the balcony!"She pointed to the balcony and Kumane let go of her.Hiei smirked and went forward a little.
"Kitsune!Get down here!We need to talk!"He was yelling at the balcony.They were all looking at him like he was crazy,except Lizzie of course.He shrugged."What?Kitsune is the problem and he is up there."They all looked back at the balcony,and sure enough,Kurama was leaning against the rail,grinning from ear to ear.
"What,Hiei?"He remained where he was knowing that if Hiei really wanted to talk to him,he would come up there.
"Get down here,now."Kurama remained still through Hiei's death glare,so Hiei gave in and jumped up to the balcony.
"What,Hiei?"Kurama went back over and sat against the wall.Hiei sat down in front of him.
"What did you do?Yinaro seems quite upset about something.What happened?"Hiei raised his eyebrows at the kitsune.
Kurama looked away from him,hoping he wouldn't use his Jagan."It is hard to explain and I would rather not."His eyes flicked to Hiei's then flicked back to the wall he was staring at.
"Do you want me to use my-"He stopped in mid-sentence and his eyes widened.He had seen the lipstick that was on Kurama's lips from kissing Yin."You-and Yinaro-were-explain!"He was barely an inch from Kurama's face.
"I admitt.I admitt,Hiei.Please sit down."Hiei did as he was told."I love her,I can't help it.But I asked her how she and Kazuo met.Now I wish I hadn't......"Hiei nodded for him to go on."She and Kazuo met in school.They became very close friends......"Hiei's eyes widened when he realized it.
"You mean that Kazuo and Yinaro are boyfriend and girlfriend?"Kurama nodded."Hell.....I would have done the same thing you did.I'm guessing that's why you're trying to hide out here?"Kurama nodded again.
"I guess I really shouldn't trust my emotions....."He continued to stare at the wall then turned to Hiei."Catilin's school is having a dance this Tuesday.They need more adult supervision.Why don't you go?Lizzie may be there."Kurama grinned.
"Perhaps......But I do not know how to dance......"He looked away from Kurama and blushed.He stared at the wall for a few minutes,until the doors opened and Lizzie and Yin came out.He stared at them,eyes wide.Kurama looked away from them.
"Hey,Kurama!Didn't think anyone would be able to pick the lock,did ya?"Lizzie smirked as she said this.Kurama tried to pretend he hadn't heard,but Yin wouldn't let him fake.She went over and sat down next to him.
"Kurama,please!I told you it's not what you think!"He snuggled close to him."Kurama,Kazuo and I talked all the time about seeing other people.He knows that it's hard to love just one person or thing.He knows that love comes and goes.Kurama,I love you!I really really do!"She began to cry silently.Kurama did too.
"Well,Kitsune,what do you have to say to that?"Hiei smirked at his best friend.He was about to get up and leave,but Lizzie sat down next to him and snuggled against his arm."Did you need something,Lizzie?"He blushed and Kurama got a turn to smirk.
"No.Just wanted to be next to you."She smiled up at him."You know that I love you."She kissed his neck gently.Yin and Kurama snickered when Hiei blushed tomato red.Lizzie just fell sound asleep in his lap,her blue-black hair was spread out in Hiei's lap.
"Kurama,please.....?I really love you......."Yin fell asleep also,but in Kurama's lap.He blushed also and Hiei got a chance to snicker.They both looked at each other and chuckled,then fell into seomwhat silent laughter.

On the balcony.......((Author's POV))
Hiei looked down at Lizzie and saw how happy she was.He put her arms around his neck and lifted her up.He was holding her in an appropriate way,too((a way that Miroku would never dream of holding a girl)).One of his hands was at her waist and the other was supporting her legs.Her head was leaning against his chest and her arms were strung around his neck.
"Seems Hiei's heart of ice has been melted entirely now."Hiei turned to see who the owner of the voice was.It was Kurama.He was standing in the doorway snickering."Well,well,well.....Won't Yusuke and Kuwabara love this?'He had a camera upto his face and had snapped a picture.
"I would shred that if I were you,Kitsune.I have some mail of black on you,too."Hiei death glared him.He went inside,still carrying Lizzie,and went into Rachel's room.Rachel was downstairs,talking to her friend on the phone.Hiei put Lizzie down on the mattress she was sleeping on during their stay.
"Hiei,it's called black-mail.Not mail of black.Besides,I'm only going to use this if I really want to.I wouldn't embarrass you for no reason!"He smiled as Hiei pulled the covers up over Lizzie so that she wouldn't be cold.
"I am not accustom to all these Ningen terms.You know that,Kurama."He went back to the balcony and sensed Kurama following him again."Did you need something?"He sat down on the edge of the balcony again and Kurama sat down next to him.
"I wished to talk to you.About the way you were acting today."Kurama looked over at Hiei.Hiei just stared at the moon,only half aware that Kurama was speaking to him.
"What about it?"He rested his head on his knees."I wasn't acting any different than I usually do."He continued to stare at the half moon.
"You call looking at rings normal?Ecspecially for you,it is very unusual."He snapped his fingers in front of Hiei's face."Are you even listening?I'm serious.I wanted to ask why you took a sudden interest in jewelry."
Hiei waved Kurama's hand out of the way."I don't know.I really don't.I think it has something to do with Lizzie......"Kurama grinned at this comment.He had a feeling he knew now,but he kept a quiet mouth."I really think it does...."He looked at the kitsune unsteadily.
"Well,then maybe you want to propose to her but don't know it yet."Kurama waited for Hiei's denial.But none came.He merely nodded."Of course,your eye may just have learned the beauty of the art of jewelry."Hiei shook his head trying to clear his thoughts.
"I think you may have been correct the first time.I think that maybe I do want to,but am not sure as to whether or not I want to ask....."He still looked unsteady.Kurama laid his hand on Hiei's shoulder.
"Hiei,I was joking with you.There is no need to be unstable."He tried to get this through the fire demon's thick skull,but had no luck whatsoever.They both went to the wreck room to go to bed.Tomorrow would be Sunday,a day that Hiei didn't know the meaning of.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Sunday........((Lizzie's POV))
"Wake up,Lizzie!C'mon!"Rachel was practially shouting in my ear.
"I'm up.I'm up.Couldn't I have just 5 more minutes?"I sat up in bed and rubbed the ear she had been shouting in."What day is it?"
"Sunday.Remeber,you said you would sing at my church?They've been looking forward to it."She smiled.Her hair was in a neat bun on the top of her head and she was wearing a long blue dress.She was ready to head out to church.That must have meant it was 6 in the morning.She always gets ready for church an hour before she needs to.It was the only day of the week she didn't look like a punk.
"Let me guess the time."She grinned then we both answer in unison,"6 a.m."
"I thought your friends might like to go.Kumane is going.He's up and getting ready.He's still the only one who can wake Catilin up."I giggled.Catilin hated waking up in the morning.She also hated going to sleep at night.She is a strange child indeed.
"I'll ask them.Kurama and Yin may want to,but I don't know.Hiei will most definatly stay here.He doesn't even know how special Sundays are!"I got up and went across the hall to the guest's room.
Yin was sound asleep in the bed.I went over to her and shook her awake.She yawned and stretched.I asked her if she'd like to come,but she declined.She said she didn't like going to church and preferred to worship in her own way.I shrugged and left her to her sleep.
In the wreck room,I found Kurama asleep in a red sleeping bag.It was the same color as his hair.I shook him awake too,which took alot less effort.He also declined.He didn't say why,but I think it was the same reason as Yin.I nodded and let him go back to sleep.
I looked around the room trying to find Hiei,which I tried in vain.He wasn't there.I looked in the closet thinking he had fallen asleep in there on accident,Kumane had done that countless times.No Hei there.I knocked on the bathroom door thinking he might be in there.No Hiei,still.
I checked every room upstairs,knowing he wasn't downstairs.I gave up and went into Rachel's room to get dressed.I closed the door and locked it so no one would walk in on me while I was changing.I turned around to go to the window and draw the curtains closed over the window seat,but stopped and froze.
He had come in here while I was looking for him.Hiei was sitting at Rachel's window seat,gazing out into the morning sky.He looked like he hadn't noticed me.He was talking to himself.
"What if Kurama was right?What if that is why I have been acting so unusual?Should I talk to her about it?No.That would only make you more unsteady,Hiei.You're unsteady enough as it is.But what should I do?"
"Maybe you shouldn't sit in someone's room in case someone comes in and begins to change!"I was just playing with him.He jumped when he heard me.He turned around and looked at me a bit shaken."Hey,Hiei."I smiled a bit evilly and leaned against the wall,crossing my arms.
"Hello,Lizzie.I'm sorry.I was just....."He looked back out the window.
"Doesn't matter.I don't care.I was only playing."I went over to the window seat and sat down next to him."I was looking for you.I wanted to ask you if you'd like to come to church with me,Rachel,Auntie Christian,Kumane and Catilin."I looked at him to see how he reacted.
"What is 'church'?"I exlplained that it was where people went to worship etc.,etc.,etc.He nodded."I think I would like to come with you,if you don't mind."I smiled.
"I don't care.Just don't set anyone or anything on fire."We both smiled.I reached behind his head and untied his bandana.He didn't know what I was doing,so he waited patiently.When he realized what I was doing,it was too late.You see,at the time he thought I didn't know about his 3rd eye.But I had seen it when he was in the Dark Tournament.
"No!Don't-"His bandana fell into his lap.He was aghast.He looked like Hell and Heaven had come to pick out their newest members and he was first pick for Hell.I decided to make him think I didn't know about it.
"A-a-you-hell......"I covered my eyes in false-disgust and shock."You're a Jaganshi?!Evil!Evil!You lied to me all this time?!"He got upset and I figure I shouldn't have toyed with him.He began to cry.I sensed it.I lowered my hands and looked him in the eyes.He had buried his face in his hands.
"You are right.....!I should have told you.....!"I leaned closer to him and grabbed his hands away from his third eye.He looked up at me in self-disgust.His eyes were shining with tears,well,his 2 normal eyes.I leaned slightly closer.
"Hiei!I was toying with you!!"I screamed it in his ear so that he would listen."I knew about your Jagan!I saw the Dark Tournament!!"He still seemed like he hadn't heard me.I slapped him straight across the face.He came back to earth and looked at me in self-shame.
I leaned even closer to him and kissed him.It was a lip-lock kiss.I drew away from him and he was shocked.I could tell it.His eyes were wide and he was a little shakey.I re-fixed his badana around his forehead so that his 3rd eye was no longer visible.He stood up,unlocked the door,and left without a single sound.
"I knew that would get it through his head."I smiled and closed and locked the door.It only took me a few minutes to change into my dress.It was a long,green,Chinese looking dress.My hair was down and super-straight.I went out onto the landing to find Rachel and Catilin dressed like bobsie-twins.Kumane was wearing some khaki pants and a weirdly designed indigo and yellow shirt.
I heard Yin's voice from the guest room."Why did Hiei just go out onto the balcony with a look of utter shock on his face?"Yin was now awake and came out of the guest's room and yawned.They all looked at me.Kurama came out of the wreck room and he had obviously seen the look and he raised his eyebrows at me like everyone else had.
"Why's everyone lookin' at me?I didn't do nothing!I mean,I didn't do anything!I did nothing!I swear it!"I looked from one face to the next and so on and so on until I had looked at everyone's face.They didn't believe me."Okay!Okay!I did something!I took off Hiei's bandana.He thought I didn't know about his 3rd eye.I made him think that was right.When he began to cry,I tried to explain that I already knew about it."
"Let me guess,he didn't believe you?"Kurama quirked an eyebrow at me.
"Right.He refused to believe me.I had to get it through his head somehow..........So.......I sorta......Well.....Kissed him......."I felt myself blushing.Kurama smiled.The others snickered,giggled,or chuckled.
"I bet Hiei liked that...."Kurama's grin widened."Hiei has been acting odd lately.I think I should tell you about it later."He went back into the wreck room to put up his sleeping things.Yin went back into the guest room to make up the bed and change.The rest went downstairs to go to church.It took 30 minutes to get there and church started in 40 minutes.
I went out onto the balcony to tell Hiei we were going to church if he still wanted to come.He was standing on the edge,leaning on the railing.He had his head in his hands.He was muttering to himself.I didn't want to shock him again,so I made my footsteps and breathing loud.He heard me and turned his head slightly to acknowledge that I was there.
"Hiei,we're leaving for church now.Do you still want to come?"I drew level with him and leaned on his shoulder.He put his arm around me and kissed my forehead.I closed my eyes and waited his answer.The others that were going to church were right below us,right under the balcony.It was so quiet that they could hear our every word.
"If you still want me to.I doubt if you would though.After I lied to you."I opened my eyes and looked up at him.
"Of course I still want you to!I love you,Hiei.I already knew about your 3rd eye."I nuzzled his neck a little to convince him.I think it was working.He smiled a little."Hiei,I shouldn't have toyed with your mind like that.It was wrong.I'm sorry.Forgive me?"
"Of course.I could never be mad at you."He tightened his grip around my shoulders."I'll come."I drew away from his grip and headed downstairs.Hiei followed me and drew level with me.Our fingers laced together.
"C'mon!Rachel's driving.You might want to stop her."Catilin was waving her arms for us to come.Hiei and I quickened our paces a little.Kumane and Rachel had already claimed spots of drivers.Catilin and Auntie Christian were going with Kumane in Uncle Herman's old car.They had never gotten rid of it.Rachel was driving her car and Hiei and I were going with her.
We all got into the cars and headed off towards church.I sat in the front with Rachel.Hiei sat in the back.I asked him if he wanted me to sit back there with him,but he said no.
"Hey,Rachel!You're doing a great job of driving.Last time I was with you when you were driving,you had only gotten your lisence 2 weeks before."We both laughed at the memory.We were only a few minutes away from the church and Hiei hadn't said a word.
"Hiei,you still alive back there?"Rachel knew I was thinking that and asked it for me.She even remembered not to take her eyes off of the road.I turned to look at him and he was half asleep.I giggled.
"Hey,Cheetah,I know why Hiei's been so quiet.He's half asleep!"We both giggled like school girls.Hiei woke up entirely and shook his head.
"Did I fall asleep?"He looked at me giggling and smiled."What's so funny?"
"In the following order:yes and nothing."I smiled at him then turned around to sit correctly in my seat.We had reached the church and Hiei was about to get his big surprise.
We all sat in the middle row.I sat on the aisle,Hiei was on my right,Kumane next to him,then Rachel,then Catilin.Auntie Christian was in the aisle in her wheel chair on my left.When it was time for me to sing,Hiei gave me a shocked look.I hadn't told him I was singing.
I stood up and walked up to the front of the church.It was a small church,so I wasn't nervous.I waited for the right time in the music,then began:
"When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
Our God is an awesome God
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
Our God is an awesome God
The Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
And so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night
Our God is an awesome God
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light
Our God is an awesome God
Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not
Too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God"
There was alot of applause for such a small congregation.I turned off the microphone and went back to my seat.Hiei and my family had to be clapping the loudest.I sat down next Hiei,where I had been sitting before.He stopped clapping and put his arms around me.The clapping finally died away and the preacher finished the sermon.
"That was wonderful,Isabell!Now,let us remember this Proverb of the 4th chapter and the 13th verse:Take fast hold of instruction:let her not go:keep her;for she is thy life.Keep this in mind this week and see what happens.You may go."He smiled.
After the sermon,we all got back into the cars.This time I got into the back of the car so I could sit with Hiei.I was tired and almost fell asleep on him.He didn't care.He just stroked my hair.It was still blue-black.I had never finished dying it.
"Hey,Lizzie?"Rachel was calling back to me.I made a weird noise to acknowledge her."You did great!The congregation loved it!"She was trying to get Hiei to say something,I could tell."Didn't you like it,Hiei?"There it was!She asked him!
"Yes.It was magnificent."He twirled some of my hair on his finger.I leaned my head closer to him.I had a bit of jet-lag.I couldn't imagine how much Kurama and Yin must've had.They had never traveled to America before.Hiei didn't have any because he never slept.He massaged my hand in his.It felt good.
"Hiei,you don't have to act like you and her are just normal friends.I know you're more.You can just pretend I'm not here.Everything you say and do will be kept under wraps.Except from Kurama.I'll tell him if he asks.Only him,though."He began to braid my hair.I didn't know that he could braid.
"Right.I will keep that in mind."He smiled.I could sense it."I just am uncomfortable.You understand,right?"Rachel giggled from the front seat.
"I understand.I was just telling you that you are perfectly safe here.Anything you say can't and won't be held against you."She giggled again."It's normal to feel uncomfortable when you're with your girlfriend and someone else."
"What?!What did you say?!"He stopped braiding my hair and laced his fingers with mine.He thought I was awake while Rachel thought I was asleep.They were both right and both wrong.I was half and half.
"Calm down.Lizzie tells me just about everything.She tolde me the 2 of you admitted to loving each other.That makes you boyfriend and girlfriend.She's asleep.I'm positive.Even if she's not,she knows it."She sighed.
"I'm sorry.I just am unsteady with this......I....nevermind......I don't want to talk about it....It's nothing personal...."He stroked my head gently and I felt my mind drifting off into another world.I think his mind had already gone into another world,but he was awake.
"Hiei,you love her,and you know you do.Just pretend I'm not here."Rachel snickered."She's asleep.I'm positive.She would have made a noise by now if she were awake."
Hiei continued to stroke my head and I almost went into entire sleep.I jerked myself awake.Hiei calmly hummed my lullaby in my ear.I sat up to get away from the music.I leaned my head on his shoulder.He smiled and braided a little bit of my hair again.I snuggled closer to him and fell asleep.
((Author's POV))
Lizzie had fallen asleep on Hiei's shoulder.He just braided her hair.He was absent minded and deep in thought.'What if Kurama was right?What if I do want her to marry me?Maybe I should tell her.....No!She would think I was crazy.'
"Hiei,we're almost back to my place.Go ahead and kiss her."Rachelsmiled to herself.'He wants to propose!Oh my God!I'm sorry I used Your name in vain.But oh my gosh!Oh my word!'
Hiei looked over at the sleeping Lizzie on his shoulder.He couldn't help but smile when he saw her.He wanted to purpose,but didn't want to propose.He was confused.'What am I supposed to do?I love her desperately.Should I ask her?I mean,if I don't then someone else may ask her before I can.....What the preacher said is right.....'He smiled at the verse.'Take fast hold of instrucion:let her not go:keep her;for she is thy life.But maybe I should start smaller.....'
He shifted his head slightly and kissed Lizzie's cheek.He blushed and unlaced his fingers from hers.His eyes were bright red from silent tears.His tears were on Lizzie's face now,so he wiped them off gently.
"You're so beautiful,Lizzie......"
_____________________________
meanwhile,at the house while the others were at church...........
Yin yawned and stretched after making her bed and changing into normal clothes.Her white hair was tied up in 3 pigtails((not 3 sets.just 1 on the top & 1 on each side)).The black ribbons were super visible against her practically albino hair.She was wearing a blue kimono.
Kurama came into her bedroom wearing his school uniform and had his hair under a traditional Japanese hat.((like what Genkai wears during the tournamen to determine who will learn her techniques))He had a big grin on his face.
"Okay,why ya smilin',Kurama?"Yin plopped down on the bed and waited for his answer.
"It's one simple word:Love.Hiei obviously,truely loves Lizzie.He also is obviously embarrassed about it.I think he wants to propose to her.I really think that he wants to.......What do you think,Yin?Do you think that he wants to?"Kurama flicked his hat with his index finger then sat down next to Yin.
"What?"She looked at Kurama."Oh!Um.....I don't know.I've been concentrating on Lizzie.She seems to want to.Hiei probably does too.But I think they should start out a little smaller."She used her index finger and thumb to show the size of a golf ball.She then smiled."I think Rachel said that Catilin's school is having a dance on Tuesday and needs some more adult supervision.Maybe the 2 of them should go!They would still be able to dance!"
Kurama smiled and looked at Yin passionatly in the eyes.He was smiling for a different reason than Yin.He leaned a little closer to Yin.His eyes were half closed.Yin's eyes were wide.Their heads were an inch apart.
"Kurama?What are you doing?"She was almost gasping for breath.'What has gotten into him?Normally this is something that Yusuke or Kuwabara would do!'Kurama's eyes flicked to hers.
"You'll see....."He leaned even closer and his lips locked on hers.Yin fell over backwards ,Kurama accidentally fell on top of her.He quickly got up and helped her sit up again."Are you alright?"
Yin had swirly eyes.She saw that some of her lipstick was on Kurama's lips.She blushed."I'm fine!I just wasn't expecting that....."She fell back onto her bed again and closed her eyes.She did it purposely.Kurama leaned over her to make sure she was alright.
"Yin.Yin!Yin,are you okay?"Yin opened her eyes,sat up a little,and kissed Kurama quickly on the lips."I suppose I should take that as a 'yes'?"
"Back to the matters of Hiei and Lizzie!"She sat up after Kurama had moved."I really think that going to that dance would be a good idea for the 2 of them.Lizzie was planning on going anyway,but not with anyone.You know,she was just going to take Catilin.We don't have to tell her Hiei is going.But you have to convince Hiei to go.Tell him they just need adult supervision.He trusts you."
Kurama nodded and left the room.Yin followed him.They went downstairs to get some breakfast.They were really feeling the jet-lag.Yin made Kurama some pancakes then poured a bowl of Lucky Charms for herself.Kurama eyed her suspiciously.
"What?!I eat Lucky Charms everyday for breakfast!They're the best!"She filled her spoon with the frosty goodness and put it in her mouth.Kurama cut his pancakes in 2 stacks and puched one stack to the end of his plate and towards Yin."I don't eat pancakes.Never have.Well,I did once.....I didn't like them.May have been 'cause I let Kazuo make them and he can't even make a PB & J sandwich right........."
"Kazuo can't make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?"Kurama almost fell over in laughter when Yin nodded."That is pathetic!"They were in silence for a while."How did you and Kazuo meet,Yin?"She looked up at him like he had asked her the only unanswerable question in the world.
"Well......That is hard to explain....exactly......"Her eyes shifted around the room thinking of an excuse.'I can't tell him the truth.That would make him get scared.But if I lie,he and Kazuo and the Heavenly Bodies will know.What am I supposed to do?!'She took another bite of Lucky Charms.She felt Kurama's gaze on her."Well.......You see........We went to the same school.....And we sort of became really good friends.....I mean REALLY good friends......"She emphasized the word 'really'.
Kurama had a quizzical look for a moment,then his eyes widened in horror."You mean-......?"When Yin nodded,he quickly left the room and went up to the balcony.He locked the doors so that she couldn't get out to him.He needed some time to think.He took off his hat and let his red hair blow in the breeze.
"She and Kazuo......I should have known better than to trust my emotions....."He leaned on the railing.His head was resting in his hands."Why must emotions be so decieving?"He stared at the sky in wonder,then he heard a voice from below.
"Show me the meaning of Heinz Bologna!"It was Yin trying to cheer him up with misheard lyrics to a song that quite related to him.He just continued to stare at the sky,ignoring her."Kurama!I know you can hear me!It's not what you think!"
He spoke softly to himself,so that Yin couldn't hear."If it's not what I think,then why does it feel so true?"He went away from the railing and sat down,leaning against the wall.He began to sing the correct version of the song."Show me the meaning of being lonely.Is this the feeling I need to walk with?Tell me why,I can't be there where you are.There's something missing in my heart."He was singing softly so he could barely hear himself.
"Kurama!"Yin was agrivated.She wanted him so badly.
Kurama spoke to himself,explaining how the song related to him."Do I need to walk alone?But,what is the meaning of lonliness?There is something missing in my heart.Dad......Why can't I be there where you are?"
He heard some cars below.He figured they were everyone else.He remained where he was,though.
______________________________
Down below........
They all got out of the cars,looking rather happy.Yin looked just the opposite.Catilin was bouncing up and down and immediatly went over to Yin.
"Why the long face?Get bitten by a cicada?"She was trying to be funny,but it wasn't working.Hiei had woken Lizzie up,so she took over.
"Catilin,she doesn't know what a cicada is."Lizzie turned to Yin and grinned."Show me the meaning of Heinz Balogna!"Everyone else giggled or chuckled.Yin remained silent and solemn.
"Okay,Yin,we know somethin's up!What is it?"Kumane gave her the biggest noogie.
"The problem is up on the balcony!"She pointed to the balcony and Kumane let go of her.Hiei smirked and went forward a little.
"Kitsune!Get down here!We need to talk!"He was yelling at the balcony.They were all looking at him like he was crazy,except Lizzie of course.He shrugged."What?Kitsune is the problem and he is up there."They all looked back at the balcony,and sure enough,Kurama was leaning against the rail,grinning from ear to ear.
"What,Hiei?"He remained where he was knowing that if Hiei really wanted to talk to him,he would come up there.
"Get down here,now."Kurama remained still through Hiei's death glare,so Hiei gave in and jumped up to the balcony.
"What,Hiei?"Kurama went back over and sat against the wall.Hiei sat down in front of him.
"What did you do?Yinaro seems quite upset about something.What happened?"Hiei raised his eyebrows at the kitsune.
Kurama looked away from him,hoping he wouldn't use his Jagan."It is hard to explain and I would rather not."His eyes flicked to Hiei's then flicked back to the wall he was staring at.
"Do you want me to use my-"He stopped in mid-sentence and his eyes widened.He had seen the lipstick that was on Kurama's lips from kissing Yin."You-and Yinaro-were-explain!"He was barely an inch from Kurama's face.
"I admitt.I admitt,Hiei.Please sit down."Hiei did as he was told."I love her,I can't help it.But I asked her how she and Kazuo met.Now I wish I hadn't......"Hiei nodded for him to go on."She and Kazuo met in school.They became very close friends......"Hiei's eyes widened when he realized it.
"You mean that Kazuo and Yinaro are boyfriend and girlfriend?"Kurama nodded."Hell.....I would have done the same thing you did.I'm guessing that's why you're trying to hide out here?"Kurama nodded again.
"I guess I really shouldn't trust my emotions....."He continued to stare at the wall then turned to Hiei."Catilin's school is having a dance this Tuesday.They need more adult supervision.Why don't you go?Lizzie may be there."Kurama grinned.
"Perhaps......But I do not know how to dance......"He looked away from Kurama and blushed.He stared at the wall for a few minutes,until the doors opened and Lizzie and Yin came out.He stared at them,eyes wide.Kurama looked away from them.
"Hey,Kurama!Didn't think anyone would be able to pick the lock,did ya?"Lizzie smirked as she said this.Kurama tried to pretend he hadn't heard,but Yin wouldn't let him fake.She went over and sat down next to him.
"Kurama,please!I told you it's not what you think!"He snuggled close to him."Kurama,Kazuo and I talked all the time about seeing other people.He knows that it's hard to love just one person or thing.He knows that love comes and goes.Kurama,I love you!I really really do!"She began to cry silently.Kurama did too.
"Well,Kitsune,what do you have to say to that?"Hiei smirked at his best friend.He was about to get up and leave,but Lizzie sat down next to him and snuggled against his arm."Did you need something,Lizzie?"He blushed and Kurama got a turn to smirk.
"No.Just wanted to be next to you."She smiled up at him."You know that I love you."She kissed his neck gently.Yin and Kurama snickered when Hiei blushed tomato red.Lizzie just fell sound asleep in his lap,her blue-black hair was spread out in Hiei's lap.
"Kurama,please.....?I really love you......."Yin fell asleep also,but in Kurama's lap.He blushed also and Hiei got a chance to snicker.They both looked at each other and chuckled,then fell into seomwhat silent laughter.
