[Hey y'all. Ooh, goodygoody, it's an update!! Whodathunk...]

Hiei stared at the human girl in front of him with two of his three eyes and listened to her story.
"It's simple really. My uncle is very rich, but he obtained his money in dealings with many powerful demons from Makai that somehow found their way over to Ningenkai without being stopped. I was included in all the goings- on because I spent more time tagging along with my uncle than staying at home. So I learned of all the really important demons like the Toguro brothers and Youko Kurama, and some human idiot named Urameshi Yusuke."
"So you've heard of the Reikai Tantei. We've heard of him as well."
"Meddling little brat if you ask me."
"But he's an excellent fighter, and he just happens to be one of our best friends," said Kurama nonchalantly.
"Oh. So where is he now?" Hiei waved his hand towards the swirling white entrance to the cave.
"Somewhere out there presumably. We were on out way back from a mission when the storm hit and we were separated. I feel sorry for Yusuke myself, stuck with Kuwabara."

If Hiei had had his choice, he definitely would have picked a bigger cave. There was barely room for the fire and all three of them to coexist peacefully. Thus, Usagi ended up sleeping closer to him than was very comfortable. She seemed not to mind, but Hiei was hard put to show outwardly that he didn't care.
For some phenomenally odd reason, Hiei felt that this human was different somehow. Sure, she was beautiful, but that wasn't all that made him attracted to her. When she laughed, it was as if thousands of bells were ringing in a beautiful chorus. She had a very light, carefree personality that normally would have made Hiei cringe, but that somehow seemed not to matter anymore.
She was kind of a cross between Botan, Yukina, and Shizuru. The Botan part being her bubbly personality; the Yukina part being her loveable-ness, and the Shizuru part being that indescribable quality that allowed him to tolerate the other parts.
Next to Hiei, the girl stirred in her sleep, rolling over to face him. He tentatively reached out a hand to the locks of black hair that framed her perfect face as she slept under his coat, on top of Kurama's coat, as a sort of makeshift bed. Brushing some of her hair away from her face, he thought about her.
'Even if she did like me that way, I doubt she would be able to stand being with me,' he thought. 'Usagi...what a nice name for a girl such as her. I've never been much of a rabbit person, but considering...' He drew back his hand as she stirred again.
"Hn."

Usagi, being fully human through and through, was getting hungry after being at least a day snowed in. Kurama could stand not eating and even if Hiei was hungry, he wouldn't say. So guess who got sent out for food. Yep, you guessed it.
Since the blizzard was still in full swing, even Hiei could not use his godspeed to move. He ended up catching something, though, and brought it back to the cave, shaking snow from his hair. [Gotta love the hair.]
Usagi stared at the dead rodent that hung by its ears from Hiei's hand. Tears welled up in her eyes as she lamented.
"You don't expect me to eat that, do you?! It's a rabbit!! I can't eat rabbit!!" Hiei looked at the brown and red lump of—perfectly edible, mind you—meat in his right hand.
"What's wrong with it?" he asked.
"Look at it this way. If there was a cute furry animal called a Hiei and you were brought one to cook and eat, would YOU eat it?" Hiei, a twitch developing in his left eye, answered through clenched teeth.
"I wouldn't particularly care, so long as it was something to eat. Why can't you just eat it and pretend it's deer or something?"
Usagi ended up cooking and eating the rabbit, much to her displeasure. She glared at Hiei the rest of the night as he played cards with Kurama. They were her cards, after all, and she could take them away, leaving them with nothing to do but sit and stare awkwardly at each other and talk about nothing that was very interesting to any of them.
'Well at least he's cute,' thought Usagi as she stared into the swirling white snow outside. 'It could be a lot worse. He hasn't been mean, just rude. And if he's really who he says he is, then I'm definitely better off than I could be. Imagine what Uncle would say if he knew that the Jaganshi himself was out getting food for me...It almost makes me want to laugh.'
From across the room, Hiei swallowed and blinked. Being a telepath was not all good. She thought he was cute? Cute? He was baffled. Laying down another card, he listened further to her conversation with herself.
'Sure, Kurama saved my life, and Hiei is rather...arrogant...but Kurama's not my type. He's too quiet.
'What am I thinking? I can't have a crush on a demon! Even one as weak as Hiei.'—Hiei fought the urge to yell at her that he was not weak—'I wonder why it is that he has no youki, to speak of...I was never told ALL the details of his past...I'd like to hear the story. But he won't talk to me, not after the big fuss over the rabbit.'
"Gin." Hiei glared at Kurama, who gave the cards back to Usagi.
"What are you doing? I want to play another game so I can beat you!" said Hiei.
"I'm going to sleep. Maybe you and Usagi can play a game or two."
[AN: Next time—the card game between Hiei and Usagi!! Who will win? What will thy talk about? Find out next time, when I decide to update!!]
