Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. That belongs to Yoshihiro Togashi. I do, however, own Faith Dilana, Samantha Jordan, the daemon, Delanthar, Hope, Marie, John, Charity, Sarah, Taishi, Kyle, Karen, Mizuki, Kazuki, and Koji. Most of them won't appear for a while. There may be some similarities to Wish, but I'm not entirely sure. I've never read Wish before. Therefore, I don't own that either. Mizuki, Kazuki, and Taishi are borrowed names. They come from characters in Comic Party. I don't own that either.

Notes: This chapter is probably gonna be kinda short. Sorry about that.

Last time: The girls headed for the kitchen and Hiei let out a 'Hn'.

Chapter 5: Halloween Dance

Everyone was having a blast, now that the party was under way. Yusuke and Kayko were dancing, Kuwabara was at the snack table, Samantha was playing Bobbing for Apples. Hiei remained in his windowsill. Botan and Faith were dancing and laughing themselves silly. Kurama walked up to them.
"Botan," he asked, "Would you like to dance?"
"Uh, s-sure," the flushing ferry girl answered. Faith laughed as Botan followed Kurama through the crowd.
Hiei had watched the whole charade from his spot on the windowsill. He decided to make Faith squirm. He got up and walked over to Faith. She looked up and mentally sighed with relief that he had his cloak on again. Hiei was about to ask her to dance, when a slow song started. He mentally cursed. He wouldn't be caught DEAD in a slow dance. Before he could leave, Faith had grabbed his hand.
"I won't be caught DEAD in the middle of a slow dance by myself," she said, "It would totally kill the whole peace and love thing." Faith put her left hand(the one not holding Hiei's) on his shoulder. Hiei carefully put his right hand on her waist. He had no idea what he was doing, so Faith led. They slowly glided among the other dancers. Faith effortlessly danced across the floor. Hiei could've sworn he was floating. Faith looked extremely uncomfortable. Hiei had the hang of it, so he took over leading. Faith easily switched positions. She was a little relieved, but still looked nervous. Hiei spun her around and she seemed to forget her discomfort. Hiei watched her motions carefully. She was practically glowing. She truly looked like an angel, even though she was wearing a cat suit. It was like magic. All of a sudden the music ended. Faith pulled away, smiling. Hiei did not want the magic to end. Without thinking, he grabbed Faith's arm, spun her around, and pressed his lips firmly against hers. Faith was frozen to the spot. What's going on? She thought frantically, What's happening? What is Hiei doing? Hiei finally realized what he was doing, and he drew back. He was slightly pink. Faith just stared at him, amazed. Hiei moved to speak, but Faith put a finger to his lips.
"Don't apologize," she said, "In that instant, three things went through my mind. First, confusion. Then, realization. Then, I could almost feel you heart's desire. In that instant, I read your feelings."
"I wasn't in control—"Hiei started.
"Don't. I understand. Your heart had overruled you brain. That's what happened."
"What about your realization?"
"Oh, that." Faith blushed. "I realized that I love you." Hiei embraced her.
"Follow me," he whispered. Faith followed him to Kurama's rose garden. Hiei turned to her. "I love you," he said, "It took me a while to realize what it was, but now I know. It's love." He leaned forward and kissed Faith.

Everyone was leaving now. Botan still hadn't told Kurama.
"Just say it!" said Kayko.
"I can't!" Botan replied.
"Then just kiss him," Faith said calmly, "It's what Hiei did to me." Kayko's jaw dropped.
"I think I'll go home now," she said, "Good luck Botan."
"Trust me Botan," Faith continued, "It works. Let your heart take control."
"I can't do that," Botan said. Faith smiled and put her hand on Botan's heart. There was a flash of white light.
"Go," Faith said. Botan nodded. She was entranced. Botan tapped Kurama on the shoulder. He turned, and she placed a gentle kiss on his lips. Kurama blinked. After a moment, Kurama smiled. Botan broke free of Faith's spell just in time to be pulled into Kurama's warm embrace. She looked up into his emerald eyes(he had reverted back to human form). Kurama leaned down and kissed Botan. It was not as gentle as Botan's kiss. It was firm and loving.
"Another Cupid," Faith said disgustedly, "Why do I keep pulling Cupids?" Hiei put a hand on her shoulder.
"Because you care," he said. Faith smiled.

Okay. Really short chapter. Sorry about that. I got about halfway through this chapter the same day I finished the first four. Well, you don't really care about that. Tidbits!

"Just get him a rose," Faith told Botan.
"He has enough roses," Botan said, "I need to give him something special!"

"It's Christmas!" the girl yelled for the hundredth time.
"It's also seven AM," Faith pointed out.

Of course, Hiei got caught under the mistletoe again...

I hope that's good for you guys. Next chapter: more Hiei torture! Ja ne! Jessica
