Russian Roulette 2: The Third Player

Chapter 8: Sweet Japanese Nothings!

Kurama's Point Of View

A/N: Sorry if there are spelling mistakes!!! It's like 105 degrees here in Southern Cali and it's UBER hot! I bought Yu Yu Hakusho #23 yesterday! I thought Yusuke and Hiei were fighting over Kurama's undying affection but I was mistaken. Oh well, how's about I continute on with the story and try not to die of heatstroke or lack of ice cream.

I can't believe I was so stupid. I broke up with Hiei, the person I cared for so much, for some girl I would have no problem killing with my own bare hands dispite the conciquences. I always followed the rules, I was always the good boy until I met Hiei. Now, I don't mind (too much) about ditching, or using Hiei's secret technique to steal food from the vending machine, or even cussing had become something I've been so normal about. In a way, Hiei broke me of my perfectionist shell.

" Shuichi, do you like these flowers?" Mother asked, dragging me through the floral shop.

" Why are you having me choose? This is Chisa's wedding, not mine."

" You really don't want to marry this girl at all do you?" Mother asked with concern, I looked over at the roses.

" No. I can't stand her." I confessed.

" I'm sorry Shuichi. I disagreed to the arranged marriage. I wanted you to grow up and marry the one you loved most, weither he was a boy or a girl. Whoever made you the happiest, would be the best for you. I see that person as Hiei. I've never seen you so happy. For the past two years, the only time I've seen you frown was when he forgot to call you or when he was running late on your dates. But your step-father feels so strongly about you marrying a girl."

" But...I broke up with Hiei."

" What!?" She said.

" I had to." I shrugged. " Chisa is blackmailing me. Either I date her or she tells Hiei about her and I, she tells my step-dad about Hiei and I and the school body will know about her and I."

" Oh Shuichi..." She said.

" So I broke up with him to keep him out of trouble. I would never have forgiven myself if Chisa had told Hiei about us. I wanted to be the one to do it."

" What an evil girl." Mother said. " I will now allow you to marry such a girl! You deserve to be with Hiei! I swear honey, I will do all that I can to call this off. But meanwhile, I suggest you keep Hiei close to you. As friends for now."

" I doubt he'll even talk to me."

" Oh I wouldn't be so sure." Mother smiled.

" What does that mean?" I asked as she held back laughter.

" You'll see tomorrow." She smiled as we left the store.

I kept thinking about what she was talking about, while trying to fight urges to call Hiei and re-confess my love for him, but I thought it was too direct. I walked to school that morning at my usual time, Chisa talking non stop next to me, even though she could clearly see I wasn't listening. Hiei wasn't there in the seat next to mine like usual...until I saw a pretty new girl. Slender legs, a nice complexion, a short skirt, nice breasts, garnet eyes and...spiky...black pigtails?

" Kurama!!!" Hiei smiled, waving to me in his girls uniform.

" H-Hiei!?" I asked, quite confused.

" Look, I--" I grabbed Hiei's arm and pulled him down to the boys locker room and made him change into a boys uniform.

" What were you doing?" I asked, confused and dazed. I just saw Hiei as a woman. A very hot woman, I might add.

" Well..." He said in a childish tone. " Since you like girls now I decided I'd be a girl so I could get you to like me again."

" Hiei..." I sighed, taking his hair out of the pigtails.

" Your mom helped me with the girls uniform."

" What? When did she--" I stopped. Right, she had warned me just yesterday..."But I still don't get it."

" Look, Chisa loves you and she's not going to give up! This is war! I have to win your love."

" Knowing you, you'll play dirty." I grinned.

" Hmm, I guess you know me too well then." He smiled. " I'm not giving up on you, now just because you broke up with me. I'm too determined for that and I'm too hardheaded to get it through that it's over so I hang onto some hope that maybe...maybe we'll go back to the way things were." He smiled.

" Hiei, you're too sweet." I smiled, pinching his cheeks and kissing him on his head. He has no idea, he's already won.

" By the way, were you wearing girl panties too?" I asked, suspiciousness filling my tone.

" Yeah. They're actually quite comfortable." Hiei said. " I like um." He grinned.

" Oh god." I said, " You're such a pervert..." I started to laugh.

" I am not a pervert. These are Yukina's old underwear and I wanted to be a girl so I put them on. She had these really cute ones with this little teddy bear that--" Hiei stopped as I put my arms around him.

" Shoori-sha!" I said, resting my head on his back.

" What does that mean?"

" Himichu!" I said, letting him go.

" What does Shoori-Sha mean?"

" Like I said, himichu."

" Kurama! Tell me right now!" He said, hopping on my back.

" Ochiaye!"

" Stop speaking in Japanese! I can't understand you!" He said, biting my shoulder.

" Ouch! I can't tell you!" I laughed.

" And why not?"

" It's a secret. Don't worry. You'll find out soon enough." I said and he climbed off my back.

" Ehhh, right! Let's go to class. I want to copy your homework."

" I'd ask for nothing more then to help your grades improve." I said sarcastically.

" Oh shut it." He said, putting his finger over my mouth. He quickly removed it and kissed me with a peck. " Score one for Hiei!" He cheered while I covered up my blushing face. " Kiss my ass Chisa!"

For some reason, the relationship was different now. Hiei and I had been more flirty now, almost as if something had changed. It was nice to see Hiei not hate me like he did when we first confessed our love, but now, he has kept liking me just as he always had and was now trying to win in a game he was surely the winner of already. Chisa, of all the people to mess with, you messed with one determined and sexy guy.

A/N: OOH! Score one for Hiei! passes out Too hot for excitement....
