Chapter 4

Kiss me?:

"N…nan…i…" "I mean, If you don't want to prove it, that's okay, I…" She trailed off. Hiei turned to the guys, pleading desperately with his eyes; but they just grinned and nodded. 'Blackmail pictures' Yusuke thought excitedly.

"I… oh…okay." "Really!?" She could hardly contain her excitement! "Hai, but not so loud, baka!" He snapped. She grinned at him. And saw that he was… blushing? Hiei Jaganshi, blushing!? And looking swoony in the process? (Of course, to Suki-chan, he's always swoony, but…)

"H-Hiei…" "Nani?" "You're blushing…" "Nani? No I'm not." He snapped angrily. "…If you say so…" "So…" "Hm?" "So, ninge-- Suki-chan. C…close… close your eyes." Suki's heart fluttered out of control. Of course, she'd been dreaming of things like this happening since she was about five, but this was the real thing. She looked at the ground and closed her eyes. Hiei took a few deep breaths.

Of course, he knew enough about what to do… but… he sighed. 'On the count of three.' He thought to himself. 'One… two… now!' He quickly tilted her chin up and pressed his lips against hers. A few seconds later he let go and quickly turned away so she wouldn't see him blushing.

Sukari was so stunned by the fact that her dream had become reality that she could barely talk. She opened her eyes and saw Hiei turned away, fidgeting. She exhaled and inhaled deeply. "Um… Hiei--" "Nani!?" He snapped. She was surprised. He seemed a bit jumpy. (Surprise surprise!) "If… if you don't want to answer this you don't have too… but…" *sigh* "Was that your first kiss?" "That is my business." She grinned. "My first too." She whispered. He turned a bit. "Eh?" "But you're really good; I can tell." Hiei's whole face glowed crimson and he jumped up. "Well…well… Hn." He mumbled, and disappeared as he went leaping through the trees.

'Why? Why am I blushing?' Hiei felt so ashamed; he had been roped into kissing her! If anyone found out, he'd never live it down…

"Hey! Psst, Sukari!" Yusuke beckoned to Sukari from the bush he was in, a few feet in front of where she was sitting. "Yusuke? What are you…" "Is he gone?" "Yeah, why?" "Good!" He jumped out of the bush and sprinted over to her. "Look at this, hah!" He held out a digital camera.

"Guess what I have stored on this thing?" He blinked when he noticed Sukari staring at him in shock. "N-nani?" "Y-you didn't… you took a picture of when… when…" "What's wrong? I thought you might want one?" "Well I do, but what about Hiei?" "Oh, I can get him one too." Sukari sighed. "No, baka. He doesn't want those floating around. So let me borrow that camera, and I'll print one picture, and then delete the evidence. Okay?" "Hm… aw man. Fine." Sukari carefully took the camera, and ran off to upload the picture to her computer.

"Hah, yeah right." Yusuke laughed, crawling back into the bush and getting out a video camera and looking at his blackmail footage with a laugh. "Like I'd give gold like this up."
