Mai woke up to see Yusuke, wasn't in his room. She was still wearing her silk white pajamas. Mai walked slowly to the bathroom. She took a long hot shower, then brushed her teeth and changed into some of her clean clothes. She slipped on black mini skirt with a light turquoise tank top that revealed her stomach. Mai went to the kitchen to make her some breakfest. She ate scramble eggs, crispy bacon, toast, and drank apple juice. She was so bored...well, at least until the doorbell rang. Mai got up and walked to the door. When she opened the door she saw a cute guy wearing a black cape standing there. Yes, the one and only Hiei.

"Oh, hey Hiei! Do you know where Yusuke is?"

"Yusuke is out with Keiko" he said as he walked in the apartment and sat down on a couch.

"Well, then why are you here?"

"What else is there to do?" he said as he laied back.

"Well, then while you're here. Do you want to do something together?" asked Mai as she sat down next to Hiei.

"What makes you think I would want to?" he asked as he closed his eyes. Mai just gave a simple 'hmph!'.

"Well, like you said. You have nothing else to do. So why don't you and me go to the movies?"

"What's the movies?"

"Well, it's hard to explain but would you like to go with me?"

Hiei really wanted to go with Mai but didn't want to show any human emotions. He hated to develop feelings for a human, especially for a girl who is also Yusuke Urameshi's cousin. But although he had to admit...she was rather good-looking, and seems to be smart. Hiei sighed. "Fine, I'll go"

"Great! Let's go" without warning Mai grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door. "Stop dragging me! I can walk on my own" said Hiei coldly. Mai finally let go. They walked for awhile and there was complete silence until Mai broke it.

"I was wondering, who's your sister?"

"How'd you know I had a sister?"

"Yusuke, of course"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Well, I just wanted to know since Yukina told me that she was searching for her brother"

The sound of her sister's name caused him to stop walking. It took awhile for Mai to notice. She turned her head to see Hiei was looking down. Her eyes lit up with joy. "Oh my gosh! You are Yukina's brother!" cried Mai but Hiei instantly shoved her to a wall and put his sword over her neck. "Don't you ever repeat the words you just said!" warned Hiei. "Ok...but could you please take your sword off of my neck" she asked quietly. Mai never knew Hiei would use such force. Hiei put his sword back and continued to walk. "Sorry" he said very very quietly that she wasn't able to hear. Mai smiled and walked with him. "We made it!" They both stopped and went to the get tickets. There was a old lady standing there.

"Hello. You look like a nice young couple. What movie would you like to see?" asked the lady. Mai and Hiei both blushed.

"Umm...we would like to see the Inuyasha Movie: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass" Mai said. She grabbed Hiei hand and walked him into the movie. Mai led him to the top row in the middle. She bought some popcorn and sodas for them to enjoy. Hiei felt nervous and strange spending times with a human girl, especially one who is relater to Yusuke. The movie started and he turned deep red when he felt something warm on his shoulder. It turns out that Mai had rested her head on Hiei shoulder while watching the movie. Some where in the middle of the movie Hiei wrapped his arms around her shoulder and relaxed a bit. Mai smiled. (A/N: I know, I know. they are falling for each other way to FAST, but hey I hate it when they fall in love on chapter 8 or 9. I love it when it gets straight to the point~! ^_^ Enjoy any way)

~~~AFTER THE MOVIE~~~~~~

After the movie Mai started crying and sniffling. Hiei rolled his eyes. "What are you crying about?"

"The movie, duh. It was so sad and also sweet when Kagome was almost killed just to save Inuyasha from getting killed, and my favorite part was when Kagome kiss Inuyasha just to make him change make to normal. I just wish I could love some one that loves me in return"

Hiei turned his head. They both were walking back to the apartment. Hiei never knew he would actually enjoy spending time with Mai. Hiei sighed. He didn't like the fact that he had deveolop feeling for Mai, but he wasn't sure if he LOVED her. They both arrived to the apartment and Mai looked around.

"Looks like Yusuke isn't home yet" Mai sat down on the couch next to Hiei with her hands behind her head. She laied back, and closed her eyes. There was a silence between them until Mai sat up and turned to face Hiei but he was facing the opposite direction. Mai smiled.

"Honestly, I wish...I my mom could go on long trips like this forever. I always wanted to stay here with you and the others. My dad was always drunk. Leaving day, night. He really didn't care about me and my mom was always on trips to take care of me. It really didn't matter to me at all. Hiei?"

"Yeah?"

"Who are your family, beside Yukina?"

"I never knew dad, and my mom was chased out of her village. She had thrown me off a cliff where a bandit of theives found me and raised me. They all abandoned me when I was only five..." He stopped when he suddenly heard soft sniffles. Hiei turned around to see Mai beautiful honey brown eyes staring at him. Tears formed in her eyes and rapidly streamed down her cheek. Mai placed her hand on his cheek.

"I'm sorry that happened to you Hiei" She said softly as she gently placed her lips to his. Hiei was stunned. He was about to push away but something inside of him really didn't want to. Before Hiei could return her kiss, Mai pulled away.

"I'm sorry Hiei. I just couldn't help it, I only-" Mai was cut off when Hiei captured her lips to his. Mai closed her eyes and returned the kiss. Hiei placed his hands on to her hips pulling her close to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. The heat was long and full of passion. Mai released a moan. They finally pulled away and both there faces were deep crimson red in embarrassment. Mai stood up.

"Well, I'm going to change. It's getting late. I'm sure Yusuke will be back soon" Mai walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower and changed her clothes. While Hiei just sat there. 'Hmmm....that movie we watch. It really made me think...a demon and a human falling in love. Is that even possible? I wonder...' he thought about the thought of him and Mai and smirked. He layed down on the couch with his eyes closed and his hands on the back of his head. Minutes later, Hiei heard a loud creak from a door. He opened one eye to see Yusuke coming in.

"Hey Hiei! What are you doing here?"

"Hn."

Mai finally came out of the bathroom wearing a extra large blue shirt that reached to her thigh. "Hey Yusuke"

"Hey Mai, what Hiei's doing here?"

"He just came because he had nothing better to. We both went to the movies"

"O_oo!"

"?...What do you mean 'O_oo'?!"



"You going on a date with Hiei"

Hiei and Mai blushed madly. Mai shook her head. "It wasn't a date. We were just hanging out" Mai said. Yusuke grinned. "Riiiiiiight, I'm going to get some shut eye. That means you and Hiei can me aloooone. Hiei don't try to make a move on my cousin" he said make kissing nosies. Mai rolled her eyes and sat on a chair beside the couch.

"Yusuke can get on my nerves sometime. He's just lucky I don't tease hime about Keiko" laughed Mai. "Hiei?"

"What is it?"

"Where do you live?"

"In the Makai"

"No, I mean where do you live in in the human world?"

"Trees"

"Trees? Isn't it cold and hard?"

"Doesn't bother me"

"Do you ever sleep on a bed?"

"Sometimes Kurama insist I stay with him and his human mother"

"That means you have no where to stay right?"

Hiei nodded.

"Then why won't you stay here" Mai offered. Hiei sat up and looked at her. It was almost like she wanted Hiei to stay with her. "I don't think so"

"I understand. Just remember that my door or should I say Yusuke's door is always open for you" Mai smiled and stood up. "Good night Hiei, you know the way out" she said as she yawned and walked down the hall to her room. It was getting late and the night sky was as black as his cape. Hiei stood up and walked to the door. He walked outside and jumped to a tree outside Mai's bedroom window seeing Mai sleeping peacefully, after falling asleep on a large thick branch of the tree.

~~~~MAI'S ROOM~~~

Mai didn't expect this to happen. This wasn't suppose to happen. 'Oh no! What do I do? I was suppose to follow Blade's command but how can I do that when Yusuke's my own cousin and I am obviously falling for the stubborn fire demon? I can't do this anymore. But...if I don't Blade has my life in his hand. If I don't obey he will instantly kill me. Will I have to take Yusuke and his friends life just to save my life? What will happen if they find out? I am so confused. How did Blade make me so obedient to him? If he still has my soul crystal. I have no choice....' Mai thought a lot about what she should do before falling asleep.
