Title: Needs of the Jagan Eye
Rating: PG-13 for cursing and suggested themes.
Summary: Hiei's jagan eye has chosen a human to be his mate. Would he fulfill its wishes?
Disclaimer: I own the story and Celeste. I don't own Hiei, Yu-Yu Hakusho, this computer (my sister's), any money, or property. Sad ain't it? -_-,
Chapter summary: Celeste and her work habits. Hiei asks a certain red-head his problems and recieve a less than agreeable solution. Also, as an added humor, a ceratin introduction of a useful product.
Author's notes: Its my first YYH fic so review to give me some feedback. I'm trying so hard to make him as little OOC as possible but it's so hard. Oh well, I'm trying my best. There are some mentions of sex in here but only for humor or answer purposes. Not too offensive (I hope so anyways -- ,) Future songfic chapters ahead....as soon as I find a song.
PS- I've made up two endings for this. If you're reviewing, tell me if you want Celeste to have powers or not. It'll be important later on. I know it'll make her seem to Mary-Sueish but it'll be soo much easier for me to finish the story. But, if not, I have a backup plan.

BRIIIIIING! BRIIIIIIIING! BRIIIIIIIIIING! A hand moved from out of the covers and frantically searched for the source of the agitating sound. Unable to find the alarm clock and getting extremely annoyed, Celeste impatiently slid her whole arm across the little drawer. The alarm clock fell on the ground.......still ringing." Typical. Just Typical," she mumbled through the thin cotton pillows in a sarcastic tone. After a few minutes of hoping for the alarm clock to run out of batteries, she slowly began to sit up and grumbled at the upside piece of machinery. "Technology my ass," Celeste grunted, holding the broken clock in her hand and turning the switch off. A crack on the frame made her groan.
She groggily went towards the bathroom and aimed for a red toothbrush, knocking other things along the way. Looking in the mirror, Celeste found herself dressed in her daytime outfit. Why the hec did she decide to wear this to sleep? As she look over at herself, she felt the pocket and pulled out $420. Her mouth was agape as she realized the end of her escapade that seemed like a dream. Two guards chasing her to the clearing of a park. A shirtless guy with black spiky hair. But there was something else too....THE THIRD EYE! She saw a man with spiky black hair and a sword with an extra eyeball on his forehead.
Wait a minute. Was this possible? She distinctly remembered a sword. Did she faint? Then why was she here? Once again, Celeste pinched herself in the arm, leaving a red mark and a slight pain afterwards. That definitely ruled out a nightmare scenario. Her mind raced as she began to recap what happened yesterday. Woke up. Brushed teeth. Went to work-
WORK! Her eyes flashed back at the cracked alarm clock and moaned at the sight of the time: 10:39. She was almost an hour late already. Picking up a loose pair of pants on the ground and a tan blouse from the closet, she quickly changed and finished brushing her teeth at the same time. After pushing a few strokes through her coarse hair, she tied it up with a nearby ponytail and sped out the door. Grabbing a blue mountain bike from the side of the building, she pushed onto the pedals with all of her immediate strength she could muster. 'I'll just think about it later...'
Breathless, she stopped at a corner convenient store and jumped off the bicycle and ran into the building. As soon as she stepped through the glass doors, a vest was pushed into her hands. "Where have you been, Celeste?!?"
"I'm...sorry.....Mr. Sakomie..." she said between breaths while putting on the bright green vest. "I....had-"
"No excuses! Do you know how busy we are on the weekends?!?!!" He pointed to the checkout line where a fellow employee desperately tried to serve over ten complaining customers. Celeste rolled her eyes, careful not to let her boss see the rebellious act. "Go to checkout! I'll speak to you after work."
Head still down, she opened a new register. Immediately, a man stepped forward holding a small package of condoms and a couple candy bars. Celeste always felt amused when a customer buys a condom. She made it a habit to examine the person who bought it and see how uncomfortable and embarrassed they usually were.
Her bottom jaw dropped.
******Hiei's Point of View******
I ran as far away from that girl I could. The pain still pierced my body like a thousand daggers but I remained stubborn. Then, the worst possible thing began to happen as I slipped and fell off a tree branch. I felt it beganing to suck up my spirit energy. I grew weaker and weaker. This is extremely significant. If the jagan eye continue to do this, I won't be able to fight that well. Damn, isn't this considered blackmail? But it is weird being blackmailed by an eyeball....I have to admit that. Damn, am I on top of the razor's edge! I have to mate with an insignificant human girl or lose my spirit power and become as weak as an insignificant human girl.
For a moment, my pride faltered and I considered the problem. Okay, not really. More like I went to Kurama's house to ask him for advice. Not only is the fox demon clever in battle, he also offers intelligent advice on this kind of subject, especially those involving humans. I really didn't want it to come to this, though. If it wasn't for the future of my sprit energy at stake, hell, I would've killed the girl. But fear of the jagan eye revolting even further kept me cautious.
It was a good thing Kurama's house was only a few blocks away. He lived in a modest house with his mother. There was a rather large tree in the backyard so I settled on one of its branches and searched for his room. One of the windows was still lit and in it was the familiar red-head, crouched over a desk full of books. A kind-faced brunette, I'm guessing his mother, came in and watched him do the schoolwork. After a little exchange of conversation, she kissed him on his head and left the room. With pain accompanied with every motion, I jumped on the wide windowsill just as Kurama jerked his head in my direction. He walked over to the window and allowed me to enter.
"I thought you rather hated being in the human world," he said curiously. I gave him a glare. He smiled pleasantly and seated himself on the bed. Since he too was once a demon and was well educated in the jagan eye, he knew about my troubles. I learned long ago to never underestimate a fox demon.
"Cut the crap, Kurama. You know why I'm here," I answered stealing a glance at the pile of books he was concentrating on. "What the hell do humans need this stuff for?"
"As you believe, Hiei, humans are relatively powerful but only if they connect with their inner spirit energy. Since this is often disregarded by many, they obtain knowledge instead."
"A lot of hell that did them," I mumbled as I flipped a book with a title 'Physics'.
Kurama shrugged. "Sometimes brains do win over bronze Hiei."
"But not often," I closed the book shut as a sudden bolt of pain established itself throughout my body. That darn demon on the bed gave a smirk.
"But it does offer greater uses out of the battlefield." I hate it when he's right. "Which brings me to question : Why are you here?"
I was never one to beat around the bush. This better be quick or I'll find another piece of flesh my sword could cut through. "My jagan eye. Its chosen a mate."
His right eyebrow rose slightly but I noticed a small chuckle vibrating his throat. "So?"
"She's a human. I rather not chose her as a lifelong companion," I stated flatly. He opened his mouth but I interrupted. "The jagan eye doesn't like my decision."
He looked irritated. "I wasn't about to say that. The answer is quite obvious Hiei." Kurama paused.
"Well?!?!!"
"You've been thinking this the wrong way."
"Are you saying I'm an idiot?" I asked sharply. My hand eased to the sword tucked behind my white sash. How I yearned to wipe that stupid grin off his face but I still needed his answer.
"Now what do you think I'll say that? I mean though the jagan eye has chosen a mate, it doesn't imply you have to make her your spouse. All it wants is for you to mate with her. That's all. It isn't picky on lifelong relationships."
There was a moment of stun silence. "All I have to do is fuck her and I'll be back to normal?"
"In a crude way...yes."
A large weight came magically left my shoulders. "So all I have to do is rape-"
"No. Do not even consider raping her." Kurama's disposition changed completely. His eyes looked dead serious and a tight line replaced his grin. I was only joking about raping the girl. To me, it seemed one of the most dishonorable acts, demon or human, could ever inflict upon another. I would never sink that low but it amused me to see Kurama in one of these rare moments.
"Why not?" I questioned. This time, it was my turn to smirk.
Though I'm pretty sure Kurama knew me well enough to know how deep my honor is, he still seemed harsh in his statement. "During the time the jagan eye and the time you mate, there would be a link between you two. Whatever the person feels, the jagan eye feels. Therefore, if you rape her, the jagan eye would be very dissatisfied with you. Humans women are very different from demons women. They're more sensitive in these kinds of situations and aren't as open as demons."
"Whatever. So how do humans get each other in bed?"
Kurama thought about the question. A shadow of a familiar smile showed as he shrugged. "That depends upon the woman. They differ from one to another very greatly. I'm warning you, it can be very confusing. But I suggest you start off by getting to know her. Like interests and such." Like knowing the enemy's moves. I don't see much difference between the two. "But I suggest you ask Yuske or Kuwabara for advice. They seem to be a better resource then I am."
"Like hell I would," I said spitefully. With the least mobility of an arm, I raised my sword and pointed the tip at his neck. "Tell them and I won't hesitate to kill you." He smirked, almost daring me to do so. I didn't want him to think I'll make an empty threat but I was in a hurry to get back to ease the burning sensation.
As I drew closer and closer back to her apartment, I could spot the first sunlight beginning to beam right over the horizon and quickened my pace. I resided myself on a branch positioned just above the girl's bedroom window. By now, the pain was gone and left just a tinge of the agony it once was.
Through the window, I could see her sleeping peacefully underneath two stained white sheets. From time to time, she would move around or fluff a pillow. Thinking she would sleep for a couple more hours, I permitted myself to finally allow my exhausted body to rest. I hadn't been asleep for more than an hour or so when this annoying buzzing almost startled me out of the tree limb. I watched as the girl reached for a machine that laid on a bedside drawer and impatiently knocked it down. She didn't seem like a morning person.
Amusing.
She dragged herself into another room and away from my view. A few moments later, I heard a scream and saw her quickly dress herself then departed from the apartment and building on a slow transportation contraption. I followed. Kurama did advise to know her. I had to observe her disposition and at least know her ways.
We ended up in front of a tiny local store. I glanced inside through a crowd and ignored the curious stares I recieved for my attire. An unexpected anger unfurled as I watched her get lectured by an overstuffed pig with graying hair. I didn't like the way he stared at her afterwards either - what the hell am I thinking? Secretly, I scorned myself for being too soft. The green vest she wore made her look like a walking leaf and I couldn't explain why she would chose to be humiliated as such. When I saw her walk to a checkout line, I remembered incidences with the others in stores and decided to make contact with her for the first time. We had to meet sometime-why not now?
I walked into the store and quickly picked up a five dollar bill from a passer-by and grabbed the nearest things I can get my hands on. There were only a few magazines and a few candy bars humans especially love to munch on. I grabbed a few bars and even a small package white package of something called 'condoms'. Since it was near the candy isle, I just assumed it was just that.
She hadn't looked up at me at all until she inspected the last item. Her mouth was slightly a gaped but nothing came out. I gave her a smile but she did nothing but asked for my money. Disappointed, I handed it to her and permitted her to keep the change. As I began to walk out the door, she stopped me.
"Nice bandana."
"Nice vest," I replied, sarcasm dripping on every letter. I heard her laugh nervously but nothing more. She did have other customers to deal with after all.
When I walked out of the store, my shoulder felt a hand. I jerked around and saw the ugliest face on earth. Kuwabara was almost bursting with laughter with Yusuke and Kurama right behind him. "I can't believe you did that!" Yusuke had a huge grin whereas Kurama smiled sheepishly and looked innocently at the sky.
'I knew I should've killed him when I had the chance....' I thought furiously, looking at Kurama. Kuwabara continued to laugh along with Yusuke. Both were straining themselves for the sake of the crowd around us. The big- mouth fox demon covered his mouth with he palm of his hand. A little late for that.
"Hiei, the coldest guy in the universe, is trying to pick up chicks!" Yusuke said through tears of laughter.
"I won't hesitate to kill you Urameshi. That is a threat."
Both of them settled down a little but a big cocky grin was plastered on their faces. "What's in the bag?" asked Kurama curiously, noticing the brown paper bag I gripped in my right hand. I threw it at Urameshi.
"Nothing. I just used it as a means of direct contact." I watched as they peered into the bag, interested at my recent purchase. Kuwabara took out the white package and had a look of utmost shock on his face.
"Is that what I think it is?" Yusuke suddenly asked, making a grab at the object he held in his hand. Kurama also examined it. There face morphed from curiosity, to disbelief, and then, finally, to amusement. I wondered why it caused such an uproar amongst them. Yusuke was kneeling on the floor banging his fist on the cement and laughing hysterically. Kuwabara was bended over, crossing his arms around his stomach also laughing. Kurama tried his best to maintain his posture while covering his mouth with both hands.
Yusuke was finally able to catch his breath. "Means of direct contact......" he muttered, wiping tears away from his face.
"What is so damn funny?!?!!" I asked angrily.
Kurama held the package in his hand and took out a small flat wrapper from it. "Humans use these as a means of protection," he said through chuckles.
I took the wrapper out of his hand. How the hec is this used as any sort of protection? They must've read my confused face because they started to laugh even harder. " For when humans mate. They use it as a barrier to all the diseases or to prevent pregnancy," Kurama continued.
Great. The idea disgusted me. Humans are definitely strange. I felt my face growing warmer at the great first impression I made in front of her. Yusuke suddenly stopped and waved at a person in the store. We turned around and my face fell as I saw Celeste also waving back after handing some bags to a customer. She and I made eye contact. Before turning away, she gave me an amused smirk.
"You know her?" I asked him curiously.
"Yeah. She used to go to the same school as me and Kuwabara. I think she might've been one of Keiko's friends or something." He shrugged. "Why? Is that the girl you have your eye on?" He winked, still with the same sly smile on his face. Kuwabara glanced at the girl before agreeing with him.
"Haven't seen her in a while though. Was she the one who was always getting yelled at for doodling those cool pictures of some of the teachers?"
"Yeah I think she was."
"Too bad she left though. Do you remember....?
I left them where they were and felt the shadow of a sting creeping up on me as the distance between the girl and me grew. Heading to her apartment, I hoped to find something there that would lead me closer to her. Though Kuwabara and Yusuke had provided information in at least one of her interests, it was netherless useless to me.
Maybe I'll find out something in her room.
