MIP:Okay, me again. Since I didn't have Kurama and Hiei in the last chapter, I'll make them in this one!! I'll also try to make this longer.

Ani:So she says. Have you seen her other storys. Waaay too short in my opinion.

MIP:I told you, that's writer's block!!!

Ani:Suure....

MIP:Anyway, here we go.

Kurama sat in his bedroom, patiently awaiting Yusuke and Kuwabara's arrival.

'They're late, as usual. I guess it's to be expected, with Yusuke skipping class and Keiko's hour long lectures'

Kurama cringed at the thought of Keiko's slap, which usually followed her lectures. Every member in the Reikai Tantei had experienced that slap, well, everyone minus Hiei. He never bothered Keiko. Kuwabara's too stupid to keep his mouth shut and Kurama happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

*Mini-Flashback*

Keiko walked down the street. She was really nervous, after being jumped by that gang. She had managed to get away by slapping them all, but she was afraid one of them would follow her.

Kurama saw Keiko down the street. He walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder to say hello....

Keiko's first thought was that one of those creeps was following her again. Her first reaction was...well....not too good...

*SLAP*

*End Mini-Flashback*

Kurama still remembered that slap. He had found out later she was nervous because she thought she was being followed. He forgave her, being the person he was. He wasn't the kind to carry a grudge....for too long at least.

"Where are they?" Hiei suddenly growled. "They're fifteen minutes late!"

"I think they're here now..."

Hiei stopped and listened. Sure enough, there was yelling in the distance. Hiei sighed and shook his head. Most likely another of Keiko's lectures.

The doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Kurama said, standing up.

Minutes later, Kurama's door opened again to reveal Kurama, Kuwabara, Yusuke, and a yelling Keiko.

Yusuke looked bored out of his mind. Their argument sounded somewhat like this:

"Are you even listening Yusuke?"

"Of course I'm listening Keiko, why wouldn't I be?"

"You're such a jerk sometimes; why do you act like that?"

"No reason."

"Why won't you just listen to me?!?"

"Why should I?"

Hiei was growing tired of this.

"Shut UP already! Don't you have anything better to do with your time than flirt with each other?"

Everyone stared at Hiei in shock of his outburst.

It was then Keiko realized what he said.

Guess what?

*SLAP*

'Oh great.', thought Kurama. 'That did it. No one slaps Hiei.'

Hiei looked...no, more like glared at Keiko.

Keiko had a mixed look of shock and horror on her face.

Everyone else remained still, waiting to jump at the last second if Hiei tried to do something drastic.

"Don't EVER do something like that again. You're lucky I'm not in a killing mood right now. But I don't suggest trying that again."

And with that, Keiko fainted in shock.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MIP:I know Hiei not killing Keiko was OOC, but I tried to make it fit him more. Did it? Do you think it was Hiei's character? Anyway, all standard disclaimers apply. Please R&R!!

Ani:Please, before she drives me crazy!!
