Chapter 7: Lights In The Sky
(that night)
(Hiei)
It was getting dark and they were still on the beach. Kurumi was making a fire with the matches she had, but she had a little trouble. Eventually she made a small fire. It was dim but it would keep them warm for a bit. She also gathered up large leaves and set them down to make a small blanket like thing on the sand so she could look at the stars. It was a perfect night, the sky was clearer than ever.
Hiei sat silently watching her do all this. He was curious.
"Hop!" she jumped into the pile of leaves and flattened them out to make it bigger.
"What are you doing?" Hiei asked.
"I'm making a little thing so I can lay down and look at the pretty stars." she pointed to the night sky where the stars were now visible.
Hiei looked up and stared at them for a while. The moon wasn't very bright that night. It wasn't full either. He walked over to Kurumi and sat next to her while she lied down staring at the stars.
"Mmmm... they're so pretty. Maybe we'll see a shooting star." she smiled childishly, not that Hiei could really see.
Hiei just stared at the stars silently. He always did this when he was going to sleep on tree branches. Later he lied down since his neck hurt from looking up.
(Yuusuke)
Yuusuke opened his eyes. He must have fell asleep when he was baking in the sun. Speaking of baking...
"OW!!" Yuusuke's face burned when he rubbed it. "NO! SUN BURN!!"
He poked all over himself and realized he was sun burned everywhere.
"Fuck..." he lied back down on the cool sand. It felt good...
"Okay, god. I've learned my lesson. Now can you please... PLEASE get me off this island??" he prayed. He didn't notice the shooting star passing by. (hehehe)
(Kurama and Kuwabara)
The two were on their way to land. They had a spare boat with a cabin for the over night trip. One of the sailors were assigned to bring them.
Kurama was on the deck looking at the stars.
"Hey, what are you doing out here? It's fucking cold!" Kuwabara walked up to him with a thick blanket over him.
"I'm looking at the stars." Kurama smiled.
Kuwabara looked up and they both stared at them for a while.
"Do you think Yuusuke or Hiei is looking at the stars too?" he asked.
"Maybe."
Kuwabara shivered and ran back inside.
(Hiei)
The fire was getting weaker and weaker, and eventually went out and all that was visible was the stars. The two saw several shooting stars.
"Oooh! Make a wish!" Kurumi squealed.
Hiei watched a star pass by. He wondered if making a wish when you see a shooting star, the wish would come true was real. He searched for another shooting star to try it out. He saw one and quickly made a wish. (yay!)
Kurumi had also made a wish. Two wishes. One for her mother and another for her heart.
Hiei stared at the stars for a moment, then closed his eyes to think. Suddenly he felt something gently touch his lips. He opened his eyes but it was too dark to see anything, so he lifted his hands and his suspicions were right.
The kiss broke several seconds later and Kurumi lay hugging Hiei. She purred and licked his cheek.
"Yuck." he wiped his cheek. Kurumi giggled and snuggled closer to him.
The two fell asleep an hour later while gazing at the stars.
(Others)
Yuusuke fell asleep under the stars as well. He was still pissed when he fell asleep. He probably wont be able to move the next day.
Kurama and Kuwabara went to bed inside the cabin on hammocks. They were slightly uncomfortable since the boat rocked back and forth while the sailor continued to drive the boat.
End of Chapter 7.
NOTE: Awww... they kissed!!!! YAY! How cute.
