Hiei suppressed a groan the short plump woman who opened the door next to the apartment he would be staying in hugged Kristen, Miranda, and then him. He wasn't the only one. Miranda hated it as well. He glanced at the ningen next to him that looked close to killing her aunt for trying to kiss her.

He mentally chuckled at the fact that her and Kristen purposefully call each other annoying nicknames to get on each other's nerves. Any other ningen would most likely be poisoned.

Hiei then glanced at Kristen; she had pulled her dark brown hair back into a half ponytail, and then put on silver loop earrings. She had a black shirt with a silver dragon laying across the chest and its tail looping over her right shoulder ending between her shoulder blades. She was also wearing tight fit black pants. And high heel boots that extended up to just below her knee. Hiei remembered his shock when he saw her on the couch putting them on.

The one ornament that caught Hiei's attention though, was a silver dragonhead on a black cord. It emanated power, but not much. Just enough to 'cause suspicion. His eyes drifted back to Miranda, with her hair pulled back into a loose ponytail - he guessed it had something to do with her aunt. The shorter girl had a shirt with a green dragon setting a village on fire, and the same pants she wore earlier. He glanced the chain of a necklace but didn't know what the pendant looked like.

Not that he cared anyway.

They were sitting in the living room by now, waiting for something. Kristen leaned slightly over Hiei so she could mutter four words to Miranda. "The bakas ordered Chinese." Miranda chuckled softly, just as a car pulled up.

Chinese, Hiei had never had Chinese. He was finding quickly he did not like it either. There was too much unneeded stuff in the rice. And the meat was poorly tenderized.

Hiei turned his head to Miranda to see her quietly feeding a dog her rice under the table; he then glanced to his right to see Kristen doing the exact same thing to a cat. He quietly took a leaf out of their books and placed his food under the table to be devoured by the animals. He was not going to admit that he thought what the ningens did was smart, he WOULD NOT admit to it. He would just act as if he dropped his food onto the floor if he got caught. "So Hiei, having a nice time in America?" The plump woman devouring the food asked him. He looked at her with a blank look on his face.

"Hn." He muttered and out of the corner of his eye he noticed Miranda glare at him as soon as the word left his throat. Kristen shot Miranda a glare before jabbing Hiei in the ribs with the end of her chopsticks.

"Say something else, she'll might get mad if you don't." Kristen whispered just loud enough for Hiei to hear. Hiei Hned again and noticed Miranda glare death at him the second time. He glared back.

"Miranda, Kristen, eat your food and stop giving it to the animals." Miranda and Kristen's face fell and they forcfully started eating their food; Hiei noticed his food disappeared a lot quicker since they were caught.

Miranda glared at her aunt and muttered something that sounded suspiciously like a "You want me to die eating this?" Hiei chuckled softly and continued disposing of his food the old fashioned way.

"Live with it Marie Jane." Kristen said through gritted teeth predicting and stopping her cousin's cussing spree.

Hiei noticed Miranda glare at Kristen at the Marie Jane part. "Shut up Krissy Lou unless you want me to do it for you." Miranda said back through gritted teeth. A weird glint was in her eye and Hiei could have sworn her eyes went a blood red for a few seconds. Kristen shuddered at the name, but other then that, acted as if she didn't notice the glare of red tint in the eye - or as if it was . . . normal? Hiei noted this. Maybe Miranda wasn't your average ningen. Not that he cared; it was all for his missions sake. Koenma owed him!

It was ten by the time they could escape the hellhole they had been trapped in for four hours. "I never wan to go through that again." Miranda exclaimed landing on the heavily on the couch. She glanced up at Kristen. "I'm going to bed."

"Okay, I'm going to have some sweet snow then go to bed."

"Sweet snow!" Miranda and Hiei exclaimed at the same time.

"Yeah, Brownies on the Moon too. My favorite." Kristen said as the entered the kitchen; suddenly Hiei was at the counter trying to reach the bowls.

"I hate being short." He mumbled to himself not realizing that Kristen was watching.

"Well sometimes you just have to be smart to overcome how vertically challenged you are." Kristen reached over Hiei and grabbed three bowls, she then to an ice cream scoop out of the drawer. She swiftly scooped an even amount of sweet snow for each of them.

Hiei quickly ate his, as did Miranda, both then went to bed. Kristen washed the dishes then went upstairs.

Cahadras?What?Do you think Hiei is a demon?Of course he is.Do you think Koenma sent him?Most likely, now go to bed Kristen. We will talk more in the morning.

Kristen sighed from her spot on the roof. If Koenma did send Hiei then she was in trouble. Big trouble.

Silent Silver Wolf: There you go! This chapter is finished! *glares at Cahadras* Finally.

Cahadras: Don't look at me in that tone of voice! *draws katana* And you will die for writing that Marry Lou Comment!

SSW: You wrote that!

Cahadras: You will die anyway!

Hiei: R&R please! *flinches as something crashes in the background* Excuse me while I go knock them BOTH out.
