The Demon Enchantresses
Chapter Three
Hiei awoke to the sun shining brightly in eyes. He left the door to Yusuke's room last night as he heard a noise coming from inside, one he really didn't care to hear. He opened his eyes, and saw the silhouette of a long-haired male standing in front of his window, looking at him.
"Why, good morning, Hiei. Nice to see you awake at last," the silhouette's charming voice said.
Hiei turned over and spoke into his pillow. "Shut up, Kurama. Get out of my room."
"Well, that's no way to treat a friend!" Kurama said, sounding hurt.
"Just leave me alone," Hiei replied, his voice still muffled by his pillow.
"Hiei, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"Just leave me alone."
Hiei gave a startled cry as he was pushed out the other side of his bed, landing with a giant thud on the floor.
"What the devil was that for?!" he yelled.
"You need to wake up, Hiei! You have to get up!"
Hiei grunted, but got up. "Why?"
"You don't remember what day it is, do you?" It was more like a statement than a question.
"Am I s'pose to keep track of what every day means?"
"No, but at least this one! Hiei, my God, think about what day it is today!"
Hiei grunted again and walked over to get some clean clothes to change into. "I'll think about it later," he said coldly and without emotion.
"Fine, just do think about it this time, Hiei," Kurama said as he left the room and headed to Kuwabara's.
Kuwabara was already up and using a punching bag he'd placed in his room to start the day training. He claimed it helped him when they got into fights. Kurama thought it was there only to make Kuwabara feel better and stronger.
"Nice to see you up, Kuwabara," the bright but slightly annoyed voice said.
Kuwabara, sweating, stopped punching the bag and replied, "Yeah, I usually wake up early to train. Then sometimes I get so tired I fall back asleep."
Kurama smiled. "Well, it's still nice to see you up. Unlike Hiei...he doesn't even know what today is!"
"How can he not? At least all of us remember his own spe-"
"Sh, Kuwabara! You know Hiei has gotten better hearing. His room is right next door, you know."
"Well, yeah, so?"
"So, I don't want him to know. I want him to figure it out on his own."
"Oh, okay." Kuwabara got up and started training again. Kurama left and headed for Yusuke's room. He had stayed up late last night thinking about what was wrong with Yusuke. But after a while He figured that Yusuke was still just a bit touchy after losing Keiko. He must have thought that his friends would try to take away that girl he brought home with him last night.
He also thought about her. To him, she was beautiful, and he could tell that all of his friends thought so as well. But Yusuke had gotten to her first, and she seemed to like him, so he thought no more about her liking him more than a friend. But last night, as Kuwabara, Hiei, and him were standing outside Yusuke's door, they heard sounds that they'd rather not have, at least as far as Kurama was concerned. So they'd left the door and departed to their own rooms, leaving Kurama a while to think.
He tried to open the door, but it was still locked. Yusuke hadn't locked his door in a long time. Mostly only when Keiko stayed with him did he lock it, but since the tragic day almost a year ago, Yusuke had only locked it several times after, and that was only when he was really depressed. He didn't want to know what they did last night behind the locked door. He already had an image, but he shook it out of his mind, and knocked on the door.
"Yusuke? It's time to get up, Yusuke."
He tried time after time, knocking harder with each time he had to call out to his friend that was supposedly devasted.
"Yusuke, get up!" Kurama screamed through the door, pounding on it. This just wasn't his morning.
Hiei and Kuwabara stood behind Kurama. "Need help?" Hiei asked.
"Yes, thank you," came the reply.
So, Hiei and Kurama and Kuwabara pounded and yelled through the locked door. Finally, they heard something move from the other side, and they quieted to listen. It was the sound of rustling covers, and just a couple male moans, as if he were just waking up.
The door gave way just as the three were about the pound on it again, and there stood a sleepy Yusuke, dressed only in a pair of sweatpants, rubbing his eyes.
"What do you guys want? She's sleepin' still," Yusuke said, and pointed toward the bed.
All three looked, and Kuwabara spoke next. "I knew you'd hit a homer soon after Keiko's disappearance!"
Yusuke was wide awake now. He socked Kuwabara in the stomach. "Don't you dare say that name again." He walked back into his room, furious, and shut the door, but didn't lock it this time.
They looked in, all three trying quietly to budge through the door at once. They backed out, and Kurama went first, followed by Kuwabara, then finally Hiei. They saw Yusuke hovering over one side of his bed, and they saw the girl he brought home last night. They also saw that she had the quilt just barely covering her chest. When Kurama saw, he saw the rise and fall of her chest, and he forced himself to look away.
"Get out of here!" the voice was quiet but harsh, and intruded on Kurama's thoughts. He didn't put up a fight. He left. Hiei was already out the door. But they heard Kuwabara's voice, loud, as usual.
"Urameshi, you damn bastard! I told you you'd get a pretty chick soon! Not to mention get a homer with her!" He had a huge smile on his face.
The girl stirred, Kurama saw as he peaked back in to grab Kuwabara. She turned over, muttered something into the pillow, and slowly opened her eyes. She looked up at Yusuke, and smiled a very sweet smile. Yusuke smiled back, but then if left him just as fast as it had come.
"I don't mean to alarm you," he said, "But we've got company..."
The girl's smile faded, and she looked at Kuwabara, still yelling but not quite as loud, and then and Kurama, who barely dodged her glance.
"I um...I was just pulling Kuwabara out of here. I'm sorry," Kurama explained, gave a small smile, and pulled Kuwabara by his ear out the door. "Kuwabara, you really need to not bug Yusuke like that!" he said as he closed the door to Yusuke's room.
"Hey, sorry, but I did tell him so!" Kuwabara defended.
~~~~~ Hiei watched Kurama and Kuwabara fight. He decided to take a walk through Ash Park to think about something. He didn't know what, but he just felt like thinking.
"I'm going for a walk," he said as there was a pause in the fight.
"Enjoy yourself," Kurama said.
"Don't bring home a chick if this is how this guy's going to act about it!" Kuwabara put in. They fought again, each one defending, each one complaining.
Hiei left for Ash Park. He walked through the iron gates and sat in front of a tree toward the back where Yusuke had run to last night. There was only a girl sitting alone and a couple making out back there, but it was quieter than any other place. He watched people play, talk, do whatever, but he felt as if he was being watched. He looked to his right, and sure enough, the single girl was watching him. He thought he saw her blush, and she looked away, but often looked back to see if he was watching.
One time when she looked, he was gone. She let out a sigh, afraid that she'd scared him off by staring at him. But then she was startled by a hand on her shoulder and a deep voice saying, "May I help you with something?"
She looked up, and saw him. She blushed then, and she stuttered. "I-I-I-I- I um...I was just looking for someone..."
"Maybe I can help you? Who are you looking for?"
"Um, no one in particular." She was nervous, Hiei realized.
"Then why are you looking for someone?" He was confused.
"I guess you could say I was just looking for someone to spend some times with..."
"Ah. Well, give me your name."
"Hannah," she replied, but hesitated.
After much conversation, or rather as much as Hiei wanted to talk, he took her back home, and he knew he was in love with her...
