Disclaimers: Yu Yu Hakusho doesn't belong to me, but if anyone wants to give me billions of dollars, then I would own it. ^_^
I don't want to give anything away or anything, but I must state here that Hiei is very OOC. There's bits of fluff, if you know what I mean ^_~.
You knew a kiss had to come, didn't you? Oops, gave it away. Damn.

Chapter 5
(Hiei's POV First Person)
Koenma gave us a mission, so we left his office and searched the rest of the day for the two men, you know sword dude and bow guy? Yeah, and it was unsuccessful and a total waste of my, extremely important might I add, time except the part when Tai said that she has never met someone as cool as me. I, of course, didn't respond much, but I was hyperventilating with excitement inside.
~*~
That night we set up camp in the clearing at same tree at which we met Tai. Coincidence, or was it? Ok, I am now officially going crazy. For one thing, I have to keep telling myself to shut up, two, I have been having disturbing images of me and Tai in my head, three, I'm practically dying from having to hide my emotions, and four, I can't sleep. Man, Hiei is totally… I don't even want to say it. Uh oh, isn't talking about yourself in third person the first sign of insanity?
This damned tree wasn't this uncomfortable last time. Wait a sec; I was on Tai's bed last time. Great. Simply Perfect.
I fell asleep eventually, who knows how late. And then I was woken up. A giggle sounded. Huh? A giggle? I opened my eyes and looked around.
Tai was doing one-handed push-ups. My jaw dropped. She was strong. That was a complete understatement. She was absolutely, positively, defiantly beautiful.
Wasn't I talking about her strength?Yeah, and suddenly you think she's beautiful.
Shut up.
I wasn't the one talking nonsense.
Go away and while you're at it SHUT UP.
Tai looked up at me, giggling, "You look cute when you sleep." She continued to do push-ups, and was trying extremely hard to stop giggling. I almost fell out of the tree. I was CUTE?!?!?!
Tai laughed harder. I was afraid that the others would wake up, but they all were on the other side of the clearing. Strange, they were under this tree with Tai and me yester-… I'm going to kill you Kurama!
Tai sat cross-legged when she finished muttering something that sounded suspiciously like one hundred twenty-four. She looked up at me. She was still smiling. "I couldn't help it," she said, "You looked so cute, it was so funny." She burst into giggles again. This some how reminded me of Botan.
"Very funny," I replied.
"It was," Tai said between her laughter. After calming down a bit she looked toward me again, "Want to go take a walk?"
Really, how could a guy refuse? "Yeah sure, I'm up anyway," I answered and I jumped down from the branch. Tai led the way. I had a feeling that she already knew were she was going. "Where are we going?"
Tai giggled again. What was with girls and giggling anyway? "You'll see," she replied slyly. We continued to walk and I saw a glimmer in the distance. "Can you see it?" she asked. I nodded. She grabbed my hand, much to my pleasure, and ran toward the glimmer of light. I easily kept up and reaching the glimmer discovered that it was a small pool of water.
Tai immediately let go of my hand, much to my dismay, and dived into the water. The pool was indeed small, but extremely deep. When Tai didn't resurface after a minute, I almost panicked, but the picture of Tai doing one handed push-ups reminded me that Tai wasn't going to die that easily. Tai finally resurfaced and when she did, jumped out and grabbed me making me lose balance. I fell into the pool of water. The water was extremely cold. Freezing, actually.
"Ha, Gotcha!" Tai yelled. She was laughing.
"Man, this water is freezing," I shivered, how undignified.
"Get used to it," Tai replied smugly diving under once again. After she resurface she pulled me down under the surface and through a tunnel, then there was… a cave? Or was it called a cavern? Ah, like I give a shit.
Tai got up and shook herself dry. She pulled her hair up in a ponytail. Two ponytails. They were called cow tails or some rustic animal's tail. I really don't give a shit.
"What is this?" I asked touching the wall of the cavern, which was cold and damp.
"My make-shift den," Tai answered.
No one would ever think that such a small pool of water could lead to a cavern this big. Tai pulled away a boulder revealing another room even larger then the first and finely furnished too. No one would ever think that small cavern could lead to another cavern this big. Pushing away another boulder, she revealed another room, the same size as the second. No one would ever think that a cavern could lead to another cavern like that. Getting tired of that line? I know I am.
"Wow," I managed to say. I mean what was I supposed to say anyway.
"Bedroom, living room, and entrance, not bad eh?" Tai questioned.
"Hn," I didn't know what else to say.
Tell her that she is beautiful.
Oh no, you're back.
Muhahahaha, back and in the flesh, well your flesh anyway.
Why me?
Tell her that you love her.
Where'd that come from?
Came from you, you dimwit.
I never thought that.
I am you, and if I though it, then you thought it too.
NOOOO!!!!!"Hiei," Tai was looking at me with questioning eyes.
"Oh, yeah," I said looking toward Tai, "We should go back."
She looked slightly disappointed, but nodded closing the doors, uh… boulders, and we both swam back to the surface. We made our way back and Tai started shivering so I gave her my cloak. I threw it over her shoulders. I can't deny that I did it consciously, though I very much wanted to.
Tai looked up at me and said happily, "Thanks." I don't know what possessed me do what I did next. You can say I'm crazy because I would agree. I kissed her, and it wasn't the kind you'd give your grandma either. After getting over my initial shock I wrapped my arms around her. It was so sweet.
You're loving it aren't you?
I'm busy.
Admit it.
Go away damn it.
Tai got over the shock, too, and she kissed me back. Ok, no one has ever kissed me. Come to think of it, I've never kissed anyone before either. We pulled away, both of us breathing hard. Who knew that you can't breath if you were kissing? I know I didn't. Though I tried hard to keep my grin off my face it came. And when she saw it, she laughed. Then, the craziest thing happened. I laughed with her.
~*~*~*~*~*~
(Tai's POV First Person)
Hiei and I made our way back to the clearing. We laughed a bit, but didn't talk after that. That suited me just fine. After all my head was full of thoughts.
He kissed me.
You must've loved it.
I did, no denying it.
I still don't believe he kissed you.
What? It was like him kissing you, because you are me, dumbass.
Just be quiet. Hiei is so cute.
I must agree.
First time, we agreed on anything.
I know. It's nice, isn't it?
We reached the clearing. Kurama and Yusuke and Kuwabara were already up. I looked up. The sun was just coming out. I'd say it was about six in the morning. They're all up already?
"So, where have you guys been?" It was Yusuke and he said this with the slyest grin I've ever seen. Hiei seemed a bit uncomfortable.
"I just got up and accidentally woke Hiei up, too," I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Sure," Kuwabara said and he starting laughing, "Hiei's got a girl!" Yusuke laughed and Kurama tried futilely to suppress his laughter.
"SHUT UP," I yelled, "JUST BECAUSE I GOT UP AND WANTED A DRINK OF WATER AND ASKED HIEI TO ACCOMPANY ME DOESN'T MEAN WE DID ANYTHING!" My eyes started to turn red. Uh oh, that's bad. Hiei quickly kissed me again. Again, can you believe it? I stopped my transformation. Best enjoy it before I have to kill a certain three some ones.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Dedicated to MINUIKO because I'm sure she'll love the fluff.
Comments, Questions, yeah sure, you get the picture.
BTWI know how OOC Hiei was in this chappie.
If you saw Minuiko's new story, then you must've noticed the similarities between her story and mine. SHE TOTALLY STOLE MY IDEAS. Oh well. Just telling you, that they weren't her ideas, they were MINE.
