Chapter 2

It's You…:

"Hn. So. Is this the ningen brat that will be staying with us? How pathetic." He blinked, noticing her stare. "N-nani?" He blinked again, but this time glared. "If you want to keep the eyes you have locked on me, you better unlock them; and fast." Sukari blinked. "Oh… it's you. It's really you." Hiei, having absolutely no idea whatsoever as to what was going on, turned to Botan. "Is there any specific reason you told me to 'be on my best behavior'?" He snapped. (Okay, so maybe he does have a clue. Who would have guessed?)

Botan immediately produced cat ears and whiskers. "Who, me? Naw." The cast turned and glared at her, and she put up a paw and meowed in a nervous fashion. "Do tell." Yusuke said, frowning. "Oh… okay, okay, I wanted to know more about her so I asked Koenma for somewhere to find information. He gave me the address to her website… and… well… it's all about him. The whole thing." Silence.

"No way. A website all about him? I would be much more interesting to make a website about." Kuwabara said proudly. "You wish." Yusuke said mockingly. "Wha- and what is that supposed to mean!?" "Whoa, calm down, don't bite my head off." "Um… guys?" "I'm not biting you head off; but if I was, you'd deserve it!" "Um… guys." "Oh yeah? Well I'd be a lot more interesting to make a website about. What would they put on yours? 'Ugly and has never had a girlfriend'?" "Well neither have you! And I'm not ugly!" "GUYS!?" "WHAT!?" "They're gone." "Keiko, be a little more general, your details are killing me." Keiko glared at Yusuke. "Sukari and Hiei. They're gone."

"Okay ningen. I heard what Botan said, and I want an explanation. Why in the name of hell would you make a website about me?" After having been grabbed and carried out of hearing distance of the others by none other than Hiei, Sukari was so stunned she could barely speak. But that question brought her back to reality. Blushing, she tried to answer. "I… you… because… well… um…" *gulp* "Spit it out!" "I… I'm in love with you." *cricket* *cricket* *cue tumbleweed*

"N-nani?" "I said, I'm--" "I heard what you said." Hiei growled, starting to pace back and forth. "I just don't believe it." "Well, I'm not the kind of person who lies about that sort of--" "That isn't what I meant, baka. I just don't believe that I'm going to have a stupid ningen like you fawning all over me." *stab* "I--" "Ugh. I hate ningens. You're all alike. Throw your feelings around far too much. You make me sick."

Of course, Hiei didn't mean to be quite this cruel; he was just being himself, and of course, being Hiei; well, put yourself in his shoes. Some fan girl you've never met before tells you she's in love with you. Being Hiei, you can't exactly say "Oh, okay." Cause Hiei doesn't react like that. So of course, right now he's confused. That's why he's pacing and saying the first things that come to his mind. Now, let's rewind a bit.

"Ugh. I hate ningens. You're all alike. Throw your feelings around far too much. You make me sick." "I… didn't know… I'd be such a nuisance." *snivel* "Hn?" Hiei jerked his head to turn and look at Sukari. She was… crying? "I… I've loved you since as long as I can remember…at least since I was 5… and I worked so hard on my website, and in doing so won this contest… all to meet you… and now…" *snivel* *hic* "…Hey. S-stop that." Tears pouring from her eyes, Sukari jumped up and ran into the courtyard.

"I--" You know that thing that people sometimes do, where they lift there arm up half way, as though they're going to do something to make someone come back? Well, Hiei didn't do that. But his arm twitched in the right direction, and that's pretty good for him.

"Wow." Hiei spun around. The rest of the cast had stepped out from around the corner. "Nani!?" "I mean 'wow', I didn't know even you could say something that cruel." Yusuke said, shaking his head. He walked away, Botan and Keiko walking away with him.

"Haven't you ever heard of honor? Jerk." Kuwabara snapped, following Yusuke. "Hn. What do I care?" Hiei mumbled, watching them walk away. "Hiei." Hiei looked at Kurama. "What?" "I knew you could be cold; but I never thought that cold. To break a young girls' heart like that…" Talk about cold; a good adjective for Kurama's eyes at the moment. "B-but I" Kurama walked away.

Hiei stared at the place where they had been just a moment before. He didn't care so much that the others were mad at him, but he hated having the kitsune's glare piercing his back. "Hn." He frowned, and decided to sit down and think.

Author's note: Hi again! Good so far? I hope so! Just to let you know, I actually do have a Hiei Shrine myself! Here's the address; thanks for reading!
