~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kurama, make him gimmie the bottle." Yusuke whined.

And then, all hell broke loose...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So Warm...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE'LL LISTEN TO YOU!?!?!" Hiei shouted at Yusuke. Yusuke paled. Seeing Hiei loose his cool like that wasn't something that happened on an everyday basis. Kurama also looked shocked.

"DON'T YOU YELL AT ME!!!!" Yusuke yelled back, standing up.

"DON'T YELL AT HIEI!" Kurama shouted, standing up and staring down at Yusuke. For some reason, Kurama seemed alot taller when he was angry. Maybe it was Youko?

"THEN GIMMIE THE DAMN SAKE!" Yusuke yelled back, as loud as he could. Everyone else was cowering in the corner.

And just as Kurama was about to yell at Yusuke, Hiei stood up on the back of the couch. "Alright, Yusuke, you want the sake?" He asked, seemingly docile. Kurama deflated like a big balloon. Hiei was giving up?!

Yusuke smiled triumphantly. "Yes, Hiei, I do want the sake. Now, hand it over." He said, holding out his hand.

Hiei cackled and shouted, "THEN COME AND GET IT!" And began flitting around the room, landing just long enough for Yusuke to see him. Kurama laughed, bolting for the door. Doesn't anyone know that its bad to get powerful demons drunk?

Kurama wrenched open the door and ran out into the darkness, calling "C'mon Hiei! They won't be able to get us out here!" To bad he was running backwards. He tripped over a rock and fell flat on his back, while a black shadow flew out into the darkness. Yusuke ran out a few seconds later, running twords Kurama with an empty sake bottle, yelling some sort of war cry.

Kurama yelped, scrambling away, as Yusuke brandished his weapon in the air. "AHHHHIEIEIIEIEAHAHAA!!!" He yelled, running after Kurama.

Kurama stopped suddenly, hearing Hiei's name in the midst of the strange screaming and ran straight at Yusuke. Yusuke, seeing Kurama turn around, stood there in shock for a few minutes before he started to run in the other direction. But the youko was much to fast for him.

"ROAD KILL!" Kuwabara screatched, pointing out the window and laughing his head off. Sadly, Kurama didn't stop in time and ran over poor Yusuke. Kurama came to a halt just as a shadow pased over Yusuke's head, forcing it back down into the sand, and was gone again. Kurama pounced on Yusuke, pulling his head out of the sand and shaking him.

"Woops..." Kurama muttered, staring down at the swirly eyed boy. Then he shrugged, jumping up once more and running off. "Hiei! I want saaakkeeeeeeee!!" Kurama called, looking around for a shadow that might reveal the wereabouts of the fire demon.

Hiei appeared infront of Kurama, handing over the bottle of sake and laughing at how they defeated Yusuke. But just as Kurama was raising the bottle to his lips, he was smashed into by a furious Yusuke, who was screaming his war cry again. Yusuke too, had had a little to much to drink.

Before any of them could grab the bottle, it smashed against the rocks. Hiei and Kurama's energies flared as they turned to Yusuke, who was sitting atop Kurama. This of course, made the fire demon *very* jealous.

"FOR THE SAAAKEEEEEE!!!" Hiei yelled, tackiling Yusuke off of the fox. Kurama whimpered, shuffiling over to the broken glass, mourning the loss of the last bottle of sake. Kurama then thurned around as well, snarling, ready to beat Yusuke to a pulp.

And Hiei was about to do the same. Yusuke cringed as the two demons cackled, ready to avenge the loss of their dear, dear, friend, when suddenly a loud clap of thunder rolled across the sky. All three looked up just in time to get drenched in water.

They all yelped, dashing back to the house. Hiei, of course, got there first, but waited untill Kurama was inside before he slammed the door in Yusuke's face, cackiling like a manaic. Kurama beamed with happiness. Hiei didn't slam the door in *HIS* face!

Everyone else was just stareing at the two, who were currently leaning agianst the door yelling, "BUT WE DON'T WANT ANY GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!!!!"

Yukina was the only one brave enough to walk over. "Hiei, I think its time for bed." She offered, not knowing how he would take it. She'd never seen him drunk before.

Hiei looked over his shoulder at Yukina. "Oh, alright. C'mon fox, lets let 'em in." Hiei said, smiling evily. Kurama just wanted to pounce on him and kiss that smile. It was so cute! They stepped to one side, pulling the door open as they did, letting Yusuke run in and topple over the back of the couch.

Kurama and Hiei stared at him for a second, then fell over, rolling around and laughing. Yukina and Kuwabara sweatdropped while Keiko helped Yusuke up. Poor Yusuke was bruised from head to toe. Keiko took him into the kitchen to get the sand out of his cuts, while Yukina ushered Kurama and Hiei up the stairs.

"You two just need a nice, long, rest. Tomorrow, when you feel better, we can go surfing or something. Doesn't that sound nice?" Yukina asked, smiling happily at the two as they walked higher and higher.

"Yea, I guess..." Kurama said, distractidly. All he could think about was the room... One room... One bed... One Hiei... Kurama giggled and walked alittle faster. Hiei glanced over at Kurama, eyebrow raised. 'Wonder what that fox's thinking...' He thought as Yukina pushed the two into their room.

"Good night, see you both in the morning!" Yukina said, cheerfully, as she closed the door and walked back down the hall, then down the stairs. Kurama and Hiei stood, looking around akwardly for a moment, before Hiei spoke up.

"I'm going to take a shower, fox. I'm covered with sand." He said, looking down at his clothes. Kurama nodded.

"Alright, I'll just take a shower in the morning." He said, walking over to the large, walk in closet where his stuff was while Hiei entered the bathroom. Seconds later Kurama heard the water start, and had to use almost all of his will power not to follow Hiei. Just the thought of him stripping in the next room made his nose bleed.

He searched through all of his clothes, looking for the most comfortable thing he could find to wear. 'It also has to be easy to get off...' Thought the kitsune, with a hentai smirk. Finally he chose a loose, white t shirt, and baggy, red pants. He sighed, walking over to the mirror and brushing out his long, red hair. He was almost done when he heard Hiei yelp and a loud crash.

Kurama dropped his comb and spun around, only to be tripped by the futon. Kurama scrambled across it just as the bathroom door opened. His eyes nearly bugged out of his head. There stodd Hiei... Dripping wet... Wearing only a towel... That looked like it was about to fall off. Again, it took nearly all his will power to not just jump over there and snatch the towel off.

"What happened?!" Kurama asked, finally getting across the bed. He came to stand behind Hiei, and had to turn around again to stop the nose bleed.

Hiei was shivvering while his teeth chattered. "C-c-c-coooold!!" Was all he managed to get out. Kurama frowned, worried that the fire demon was alittle to cold. Standing this close to him, he should've felt more heat.

"Are you al-" Kurama began, but was interupted by the door being flung open and Yusuke standing there, pointing at the two.

"THAT'LL TEACH YOU! AHAHAHA!" Then he ran back down the stairs, flailing. The two demons sweat dropped.

"I beleive Yusuke's lost it. Shall I go teach him a lesson? It would be no trouble at all." Kurama offered, walking twords the door. But a rahter cold hand grabbed his arm.

Kurama looked back, eyes wide. There was Hiei, almost nude, holding his arm... 'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!' He thought, and couldn't fully suppress the grin that spread across his face.

"No, we'll get him tomorrow." Hiei said, smiling back, and walking back into the bathroom to get dressed, much to Kurama's dissaointment. He sighed and walked back around the bed, straightening the blankets that he messed up when Hiei starled him. Poor kitsune was exceptionally jumpy tonight.

Then he walked over to the television and looked through the movies, wondering if Hiei would like to watch one. He decided that he'd ask when Hiei was finnished, so he laid down on the bed to wait. Kurama was off to one side, hands behind his head, streached out.

When the bathroom door opened, after what seemed like forever to the reincarnated youko, he had to cover his face with a tissue. 'Thank Inari demons don't wear underwear...' Was the only thought that flashed through his mind.

Hiei just stepped out of the bathroom, enveloped in steam, wearing baggy blue pants. ONLY baggy blue pants. The water was running down his body from his hair. The water found all the creavases of his muscles... Kurama's eye twitched. What had he done to diserve this torture?!

Hiei himself was finding it hard to controll his urges. (A/n: XD I'm sorry, that last sentance is hillarious. Urges XD *falls over laughing*) The way Kurama was streached out on his bed sent all kinds of hentai images through his mind. Kurama was sitting up though. Hiei pouted, and walked around the bed.

"Hiei, don't you think you should be wearing more clothes? You seemed very cold earlier." Kurama asked, as he picked up a glass of water that he was drinking. Of course, he really wanted Hiei to be wearing *LESS* clothes, but Kurama wanted him to be comfortable.

"What, fox, don't like what you see?" The still drunk Hiei asked. He knew that he was taking a big chance asking that, but for the life of him, he just wanted a reaction.

The water that Kurama was sipping sprayed out across the bed as his's head snapped over in Hiei's direction. "Yes, uhm, no, I mean, uh, oh *yeah*, I mean-" He stuttered, eyes wide. "I mean, how 'bout a movie?" He asked to quickly, jumping up again and shuffiling through the videos quite rapidly.

Hiei nearly fell over laughing. He tried to supress the feeling that Kurama really did like him. 'He's drunk, baka. He doesn't like you.' Hiei thought, somewhat sadly, as he walked over to the jumpy fox to help look through the movies. After some debate they picked some action movie that neither had heard of.

Kurama turned the television on and was getting the movie ready when he realized that Hiei wasn't standing next to him anymore. He looked around. Hiei wasn't in the room any more. He wasn't in the hall either... Not on the second floor... Kurama walked into the kitchen to find Hiei sitting on the counter trying to open an unpopped bag of popcorn.

"Uhm, Hiei?" Kurama asked, stepping over.

"Not now. I've almost got it."

"But Hiei, you really should-"

"I am! I am! I'm opening it!"

"Hiei!" "AHA!" They both yelled at the same time, as popcorn kernals flew across the kitchen, making little 'ping' noises where they hit things.

"You should pop them first..." Kurama finnished.

"Why didn't you say so?!" Hiei asked, looking very annoyed. (again like --')

Kurama, who looked equally annoyed, simply sighed and shook his head. Arguing would get them no where. "How 'bout you go upstairs Hiei, while I make us some pop corn?" He asked, digging around for another bag.

"Naw, I think I'll stay here." Hiei said, sitting down on the table. Kurama glanced over at him, grinning, and set the popcorn in the microwave. Hitting the 'popcorn' button, he spun around on his feet, spinning easily due to the fact that his pants were to long and he was standing on them. Hiei chuckled, watching Kurama with his head rested on his hands, elbows on his thigh. He had a lazy look in his half lidded as. Kurama gluped, red rising to his cheeks as he opened the 'fridge door.

"You want something to drink?" He asked, trying to supress the squeek in his voice. Hiei hopped down off the table and came to stand next to Kurama, under his arm.

The refridgerator contained sodas, left over pizza, and a few bottles that, after checking, apeared to be only root beer. They pouted and got a few soda's out as the microwave dinged. Kurama yelped and jumped, spinning around and falling over at the same time. Kurama was *very* jumpy...

Hiei squatted down, eyebrows raised at Kurama. "It was only that." He said, pointing to the microwave. Kurama laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head at the same time.

"Oh, right, of course..." He mumbled, getting up and walking over to get the popcorn. He was suprised that they hadn't woken up the othes yet. Kurama grabbed the popcorn and headed back twords the stairs, Hiei behind him. The hairs on the nape of Kurama's neck rose. Hiei was walking very close behind him...

Surpised that he made it all the way back to the room without tripping, Kurama whistled as he set his drink and the popcorn down, then waited for Hiei to sit on the bed as well before he hit play with the remote. They watched the movie for a little while, but neither payed attention.

'He's so close...' Hiei thought, scooting closer a bit, making like he was reaching for the popcorn bag.

'Eeeee! I think Hiei just scooted closer!' Kurama thought, not looking over, as he felt blindly for the popcorn.

But he hit something hard... soft... and still cold... 'Oh, Inari...' Kurama thought, eyes wide, as he looked over.

His hand was clasped around Hiei's, and Hiei was stareing at their hands, eyes wide.

"Oh, Hiei," Kurama said, snatching his hand back. "You're hands are so cold. Are you alright?" He asked, his face extremely red.

"I-... Its fine. I'm just cold is all." Hiei said. 'But you're so warm...' He thought, wanting that warmth now more than he ever had.

Kurama sat up, moved the bag of popcorn over, and scooted closer to Hiei. "Here, lemme feel your head." He said, reaching out his arm. Hiei moved away.

"No, its fine, don't worry abou it." He said, not wanting him to worry himself over *him*.

Kurama's eyebrows came together in a scowl. Maybe it happened because they were still both drunk? Maybe because Kurama wanted to feel more of Hiei? Maybe because the crazy authoress wanted you to laugh alittle more, or possibly have a nose bleed? For whatever reason it happened, it did... (I bet you just want me to shut up now and read what's happened? Fine then! *sobs and runs off*)

Kurama persisted. Hiei insisted. Kurama ended up chasing Hiei around the room. This of course, got everyone's blood going, and they were having an all around good time.

"You're never gonna catch me, fox!" He said, flitting around the room alot slower that he could've been. Kurama knew he was going easy on him. Staying one inch out of reach.

'If I could just...' Suddenly, Hiei tripped over the futon. He lay on the bed, stareing up at Kurama, who smirked evily, and pounced on him. Kurama knew he shouldn't have. He knew that it would probably make Hiei very angry. But, as was stated earlier, their blood was boiling and the adrenilian was flowing through their viens.

Kurama sat there, straddling Hiei, one hand on either side of his head. They both stared at each other and for the second time that night, Hiei thought Kurama might accually like him.

"Uhm..." Kurama briliantly said.

"Uh." Hiei replied.

Kurama felt Hiei's forehead. After all that running around, Hiei was beginning to feel like normal again. "Well, you seem to be fine now. Wanna finnish that movie?" Kurama asked, reluctantly getting up and sitting back against the wall.

Hiei shook his head, crawling over to his side of the bed. "I'm tired kitsune. Lets go to bed." Hiei said, listening to the thunder outside.

Kurama smiled tiredly and nodded. "Alright Hiei." He said, and pulled the covers up over him. Hiei was already asleep it seemed, so Kurama reached over and tucked him in. 'Don't want the fire baby to get cold...' He thougth affectionatly, as he rolled over and closed his eyes.

He thought it was his imagination, but an arm wrapped around his waist.

"Hiei?" Kurama asked. He had to know...

"You're warm." Hiei mumbled, a touch of playfullness in his voice. Kurama thought he'd died and gone to heaven. Not that demons normally go there...

'Maybe this is just as good...' Kurama thought, snuggling closer to Hiei and closing his eyes.
