Chapter 23

After she had fainted, Cindy was brought to Her house and placed in her bed. Yusuke, Kayko and Kuwabara went back to their homes, Hiei had disappeared and Maryann went looking for him, it seemed to her that he was the only one who would listen to her. To make her feel heard. Kurama had volunteered to watch over Cindy. It had only been a few hours. She Cindy slept in her bed Kurama was downstairs watching TV. He would, on occasion, check on her.
"What happened?" Cindy gowned. "I'm in my room? Why?" she asked herself. See looked outside to see a croissant moon. "What is that?" She heard something. She pulled off the covers and slid out of bed, she wobbled when she started to walk but got the hang of it after the first steps.
She walked down to the living room. Kurama was watching some kind of movie. Cindy snuck up behind him, "What are we watching?"
"Cindy! Your up." He said and she sat next to him. "I'm just watching whatever's on." he said. He flipped to the guide, and she saw it.
"Oh I love that movie." Cindy butted in when she saw Rush Hour 2. "My dad and I loved........." She paused. Kurama say this and tried to change the subject.
"I like the first one better," he smiled.
"I think they are both good, I treat them as two separate movies."
"You have to pick one."
"Oh I do? Then I pick the second one." Cindy said
"Why is that?" Kurama asked as he filliped to the HBO channel where RH2 was playing.
"Because you picked the first one." She said teasingly.

Machiko was looking for Hiei at the temple of Koenma. She started with knocking on his door, no answer, and then she remembered the tree. It was night and the she was under the same croissant moon. When she reached the tree she called out for him, "Hiei?"
"What do you want Stupid girl?" he said
"You stupid boy." She shot back and he jumped down from the tree.
"What do you want woman?"
"So it's woman now, I see." Machiko said in a silly tone. "I just wanted to talk to you."
"Why?" he asked, "what is it?"
"I just, I don't know. I gave it some thought and I was wrong to judge you. Well you did not exactly give me anything to work on."
"What are you talking about?" he knew, he just wanted her to get to the point.
'I was only wondering who it was you cared for?' she though about asking, "oh, I am talking about that little argument we had earlier."
"You can ask me." He said.
"Huh?" she asked, 'oops, he can read minds." She remembered. "Who is it that you care for?"
"My sister." He said, he pulled off his bandana, "see this?" he pointed to his third eye. "I got it so that I could watch over her," he said.
"Where is your sister now?" Machiko sat down and Hiei followed.
"You know her as Yukina." He said.
"Aw, she must be proud of you." Machiko said
"No, she would not be if she found out who I was." He said and replaced the bandana.
"You mean, you did not tell her?" She looked straight at him, "you know I have a sister too, and of I knew she was out there somewhere, I would want to know her, if she was looking for me, I would surely tell her." Machiko said, "no matter what your crimes are, your family will always be there for you."
"I can't tell her who I am. She is too innocent to hear it," he said and stood up, he was about the jump back into the tree.
"Wait Hiei. Was it something I said?" her eyes pleading with his to stay "I don't want to be alone." She said, he came back and walked closer to her. Their faces were so close that she could feel his warm breath on her lips. "I don't like being alone." She whispered.
"I don't like it either." He said. 'What am I doing? Damn Kurama, damn Ningens and their emotions.' He thought as her lips brushed his, Hiei felt a shiver go up his spine. His arms went around her as she tried to pull away, thinking she should not have tried to kiss him.
"Hiei?" she whispered in surprise. She was cut off when she felt him kiss her hard on the mouth.
************************ *Don't let this robe fool you, it's the only color they had left* Carter said to Ricky Tan, in the movie. Carter was wearing a purple robe (if you have seen the movie you'll know. If you have not, then you have to see it, it's Kewl)
"I love that part." Cindy said sliding to the edge of the couch, she was laughing so hard that she fell off, dragging Kurama with her. Kurama fell on top of her, Cindy Paused and stopped laughing. "Heh heh, gravity works." She said.
"Indeed." Kurama said and he pushed himself up and offered Cindy a hand.
"Thanks." Cindy blushed and took he hand. 'No, stop. You cannot fall in love with him. He is too nice. I could not hurt him.' Cindy remembered what Natsu had told her, 'I will not harm Kurama's mother. "I'm going to bed now, there are other rooms if you want to sleep in one." She added and went to her room.
"Cindy?" He asked in a serious tone, "Where did you go when the gun was shot at you? Why did they let you go?" he asked
Cindy shut her eyes in pain and she turned around to face him. "I got scared. When I screamed a blast of energy came from me and they were killed. I walked away. I found myself in a forest, then I found you guys." She lied. She did not like lying to him. She continued to her room before her could interrupt her.
'What is she hiding?' the thought.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I could have so much fun with this." Natsu said
What is he planning now? Hiei and Machiko sitting in a tree... under a tree... K.I.S.S.I.N.G... * sings*
