Story: Shuiichi One Half
*Sob* School started. That really sucks.
Yes, this chappie has Wind Wind in it! ^_^

Chapter Seven: Talent Show
Kurama's POV
It's been three days since we last played and practiced the song. I realized that I was nervous about the talent show. Hiei could lose his temper and blast a few humans into oblivion. I smiled. Not that I would mind if he picked off a few people from my fan club.
Putting on a T-shirt over my long-sleeved shirt, I grabbed the recording of our song (made by Yukina @_@ that girl is amazing) and called out to Hiei, "Are you done?"
He came down with his usual black clothes, only without the cloak. It was so plain, but I wouldn't have him wear anything else. I said to him, "You didn't change. What were you doing for thirty minutes?"
He smirked. "Making sure my sword was sharp enough to kill all who cross my path."
I sighed. "You're hopeless, Hiei."
He retorted, "Not as hopeless as you will be after the talent show. I'll behave myself, don't worry."
How did he know me that well? I gave an involuntary shudder. He grinned. "I'll look forward to seeing you embarrassed."
I gave no answer. "Come on, Hiei, we're going."
*~*~*~*~ Kurama's High School (7:00) ~*~*~*~*
Hiei's POV
I looked in wonder as people performed on the small human stage. No, not at the performers! At how so many humans were willing to make total idiots of themselves for the entertainment of others.
Kurama tapped me on the shoulder, whispering, "It's called acting, Hiei."
I scoffed, pretending that I knew even though I didn't. The fools who strongly reminded me of Kuwabara stopped dancing and did this ridiculous human gesture that Kurama called "Bowing."
The announcer who talked like the fox demon Koto said, "Now, for our grand finale, we have an original piece by Shuiichi Minamino and Hiei!"
I got on stage. I looked menacingly at the human fools as a I caught a few girls whispering, "Hiei is hot!" and others hooting at Kurama. The music began.
At the exact beat Yukina told me to sing at, I began, "kaze ga hashiru, ore wo yobu mugon no HARIKE-N. are wa SAIN, kessen no aizu darou . . ."
Kurama beamed at me. I felt my face grow hot as a bunch of humans hooted and whistled. He looked into the crowd, with more confidence than normal, and sang softly, "sou. . . kono inochi yori, aa. . . omoi yume wo. kanaeru tame no hi ga kita . . . saa . . ."
I stared at Kurama. He never sang this good before. He grinned at me as girls screamed. Thinking to me, he said, /Good job, Hiei. There'll be a Hiei fan club started soon/
I thought back in as much of a retort as possible, /Shut it/
The music continued. Catching his eye, we sang together, "kokoro no mama ni tada Fighting to dream, dare ni mo jama sasenai. unmei nado jibun de, kimete yaru. kaze no you ni tada Shooting to dream, kako no itami tachikitte. kono te de ima mirai mo, kimete yaru . . . Getta chance!
The screaming was getting louder, for Kurama. I glanced over and nearly fell down. His eyes were closed, a hot, arrogant little smile playing at his lips. He was swinging his hips, arms, and feet, and not in the stupid way most humans did it. I nearly groaned. How was I supposed to "behave" when he was practically begging me to kill him?
I sighed, thinking to him, /Show-off/
He opened his eyes, his smile getting wider. /Thank you, Hiei/
He continued dancing. The human girls were now becoming really teary eyed and obsessed. I continued, trying really hard to ignore Kurama, "kizudarake no, yume ga ore wo karitate'ta. hieta mune ni, nokoru hi wo aoru you ni. . ."
Kurama was now crazy, dancing while singing. I wondered how he did it so easily. His movements became wilder, but still maintained the graceful Kurama-ness. His voice was as soft as ever. "sou. . . atsui omoi ga, aa. . . mune wo tatakumaru. de kienai arashi no. . . you ni."
I thought to him, /Why are you so talented in everything?/
He thought back smugly, /I'm perfect/ Was he kidding or not? He did seem perfect in everything . . . his attitude, his power, his calm, his stupid schoolwork, his singing, his looks . . . I stole a glance at his thin but not fragile body, his gorgeous emerald green, and the perfect, silky red hair. /Don't even go there, Hiei/ I scolded myself. We continued, "yasei no mama de ima Fighting to dream, zetsubou nado houmutte. kemono michi wo hageshiku, hitabashiru. kaze ni natte ima Shooting to dream, hoshii mono wa jiyuu sa. oretachi kono kokoro wa, damasenai . . .It's truth!
We had a lot of time before the last verse. I blushed when I caught Kurama looking at me. I looked around at the crowd. It was getting late. I smiled.
*~*~*~*~ Changed to Kurama's POV ~*~*~*~*
I looked at Hiei. He was smiling. It didn't look fake or evil, just . . . Hiei. His scarlet eyes were shining, wide open. He looked really cute, like a little kid. I realized that I didn't mind the curse, or thinking about Hiei, too much. Not at all.
I resumed dancing, knowing that it would upset Hiei. The last verse of the song . . . I took a deep breath, and sang with him, "kokoro no mama ni tada Fighting to dream,dare ni mo, jama sasenai. unmei nado jibun de, kimete yaru. kaze no you ni tada Shooting to dream, kako no itami tachikitte. kono te de ima mirai mo, kimete yaru . . .Getta chance!"
I sighed. It was officially over. A bunch of guys congratulated me. The floor was littered with at least ten girls who were out cold. I smiled faintly. Hiei came over to me, his original cocky grin restored. I groaned, saying, "You sure know how to bargain, Hiei."
He replied, "I know."
I walked closer and closer to him, my face flushed, my heart racing . . . I placed my mouth over his gently. He kissed me back, a little violently. Suddenly I forgot everything, just being with Hiei, being with him . . .
SPLASH!
Dripping in cold water, I was brought back to reality. Hiei whispered, grinning, "You know what? You're better than ice cream."
I shook my long hair back. He ran, thinking to me before leaving, /That was for tempting me while dancing, Kurama. I needed some revenge. Don't take it the wrong way/ And with a smirk, he added, /Good luck, fox/
I grimaced. Uh oh. I was a girl again. I turned to run, hoping no one saw me. I wasn't afraid of what people thought of me and Hiei, I cared of what they thought about Shuiichi turning into "Kurama."
Running home, I thought, with a touch of fondness and anger for the Forbidden Child, /Hiei, you're in for it/
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Done! Yay, their first kiss . . . The story's straying from Ranma-perverted- comedy to plain fluffy/framing romance . . . you don't mind, do you?
Gomen nasai to Jenny AND Jineka (*grumble*) for making Kurama kiss Hiei as a guy . . .
Review!!!
