Rainy Days

A/N: @_@... Just got back from work… Am brain dead. Braindeadness good for writing Rainy Days…

Oh, and this chapter is dedicated to Keaira(2) because she finished "Feigned Innocence"!!!!!!! (Read it now if you have not!)   

"…?" Hiei asked.

"…" I answered.

I shifted uncomfortably. The closet was rather small.

"Please explain this to me again, fox. Why the hell are we trapped in a closet?" he asked me in a voice that promised sudden death if I answered wrong. "And why can't I just break the door down?"

Well… Inari loves me, huh? I've got to use some of that awesome fox cunning that I'm supposed to have and distract his attention from questions that will lead to questions I don't quite want to answer. Like why Yusuke locked us in a closet. Which I really don't know myself, but it would cause suspicion.

"We're trapped in a closet because Yusuke put us there and you can't break the door down because of the wards around it. Plus, my rose whip would do a better job," I stated matter-of-factly.

He gave me The Look™, different from his customary I'm-gonna-eat-you death glare™. "What did you say?"

"We're trapped in a clo-"

"No, after that."

"You can't break the wards?"

"After that!" he snapped impatiently.

"Uh, my rose whip is better?" I asked meekly.

"I'm gonna eat you," he replied. Or rather, it was his eyes that did it, but it might as well have come out of his mouth. "And why is it better?" Hiei asked. Or more like demanded.

O-kay. Kurama, you're not dead yet so he must feel some semblance of friendship for you, right?

…

He's going to eat me. I know it. There's this little demon on his shoulder, cackling. It's telling him, "Eat that stupid fox! Maybe he'll taste yummy!" Oh, and it's holding the little shoulder angel in its hands, strangling the poor thing to death, while it's going, "Help me, Kurama! Heeeeeellllllllpppppppp mmmmmmmeeeeeee!"

"That's what I thought."

Maybe I should backtrack a bit. We were having a "meeting" (otherwise known as "Play-Video-Games-On-Kurama's-Big-Screen-TV") when Yusuke asked me to go into my closet and try to find him a sweater because he was cold (nevermind that it was the middle of summer).

While I was rummaging, Hiei was dragged into the closet as well and wards placed on the door.

And so here we are now.

Do do do.

…

La lala la. 

…

In case you can't tell, the silence is driving me insane.

Hiei's still miffed that I thought my rose whip was better than his stinky old sword.

"My rose whip is more elegant than your stinky old sword." I must be suicidal. That's the only reason that I would ever say that. At least I'm not listening to the sound of silence now.

"Nuh-uh!" Hiei shouted.

I was like "Whoa! Dude, Hiei just sounded like a little kid!"

"My sword has slain foes aplenty and plus, I look cool with it."

I snickered.

"My rose whip can cut through almost anything!" I hastily said, in hopes of disguising my snicker. Instead of gracing that with an answer, Hiei threw a pair of boxers at me.

Look, they're green!

…

God help me. We've been in this closet for two hours. How is it that air hasn't run out by now? … Oh, I suppose that little crack under the door and the nice little plant in here could be the reason.

I feel daring. Maybe it's because Hiei's let me get away with a lot of things today.

I think I just have a death wish.

"Hey, Hiei, you never did tell us why you were wearing my mother's bra. Since there's no Yusuke or Kuwabara here to shamelessly tease you, why don't you tell me?"

"Mumble tumble squishy tushies," Hiei mumbled.

"I can't hear you!" I grinned cheekily at him.

"I thought it looked funny and wanted to know what it was," he replied softly, with that ever present death threat in his voice. I grinned even wider.  

"You do know what it's for now, don't you?" I stifled my laughter as best I could.

"Yes… Yukina told me…"

Insert snicker.

"Shut up fox!"

Insert *chuckle*. (FOXES DO NOT GIGGLE!)

"I'm warning you, fox!"

Insert full-blown laughter.

"KURAMA, SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

Against all better judgment and future health, I laughed even harder until I was practically rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off.

Seeing as it is very undignified for a fox demon of my stature, I picked myself off of the floor and leaned again the door, continuing to shorten my life.

Suddenly, I felt something rather short and solid slam me fully against the door. Hard.

Before I could open my mouth to complain, Hiei had pushed his mouth against mine and was trying to shove his tongue down my throat. A hand forced itself up my shirt and I let out a strangled groan.

Then he pulled back.

"…Now I've found a way to shut you up," he said after a couple of minutes of silence which had been spent, on my part, in a Hiei-induced puddle.

He pushed past me, put his hand on the doorknob, turned, and exited.

Oh.

Had that door been unlocked the whole time?

…

HIEI KISSED ME!!!!!!

Okay, so it wasn't as long as the other chapters, but in my haste to get one out at a decent time, it kinda got shorter. This also lacks detail, but it's more of a filler then a chapter while I contemplate where this should go.
