Disclaimer: I own nothing... Not even my own soul, which I sold to my best friend for a bag of Nestle milk chocolate chocolate chips. Hey, what can I say? It was my third day, and i wanted chocolate really bad! Anyway, I do not own JC Penny, Nestle, or Yu Yu Hakasho. This is all so depressing... My goodness, look at the time! My mom will kill me if she hears the computer keys going past 1...

Black Rose

Waited

"I've waited forever to hear you say that, Hiei..."

"Then hear it one more time, Fox. I love you."

I leaned down one more time, and crushed a kiss to your lips. God, did I love the feeling of your lips upon my own. It felt so... right, I guess.

Your lips opened, and I probed your mouth with my tongue, gently memorizing every curve and crevase.

You pulled away slightly, but just so that your forehead graced mine. Your breathing was slightly staggered, and you had another dream-like smile on your face. I think I liked things that way. You, me, a kiss behind us, and a kiss waiting for us.

I love making you smile. Thank you for letting me.

I love hearing your voice. Thank you for letting me.

I love being in your arms. Thank you for letting me.

And I love loving you. Thank you for letting me.

I waited forver to tell you that, but I never would. I would never get the chance...

The Mall

A few days later you told me we were going to a "Water Park".

We got into your car, and you had to buckle the "seatbelt", you called it, as I had no idea what I was doing. I blushed a little as you reached across my pelvis, but hid it quickly.

When you started driving, I became appauled at the speed of the "car". I could run much faster.

You reached over, and took my hand in yours. I loved the feeling of it. Your skin was warm and silky against my own cold and calloused hands. Soon you were massaging my palm with the oad of your thumb. It wouldn't have felt so good if it were anyone else.

"We're not going to that water park right away. First, we have to got to the mall and buy you a bathing suit."

I shuddered.

I hate the mall.

You parked the car, Kurama, got out, opened my door, and unlocked my restraint. Soon, we were in the mall.

So many ningens in one place. Way too crowded for my liking. And me, not being able to burn them all, or even glare at them. I was at a loss. I was distraught. I was devastated. I love destroying, but I love making you happy. One overpwered the other, and that was making you happy. So I complied to your wishes, and did not glare at one single thing.

Except for those bathing suits in JC Penny!

You pulled me along, me faking protestment so we wouldn't look what we were. When we got to a store called JC Penny, you let me follow you. There were much less dirty, noisy, baka ningens in here, and I was thankful. I was getting tired of having a happy face on.

Because of my being vertically challenged, you took me to the Boy's section. I looked around at all the childish "swim trunks", and glared at them. However, you just started browsing for a suit that was black, and possibly some blue or red on it, too.

You finally found one you thought I would like, and pushed me into the dressing room.

"What do you want me to do in here, Kurama?"

I heard an exasperated sigh on the other side of the flimsy door.

"Put on the bathing suit, Hiei. That's all."

"...How?"

"They're just like pants. Pull off yours, then slip the swim shorts on."

I did so, and when I came out with the black shorts on, you put your head in your hand.

"What?"

"They're on backwards, Hiei. Go back and put them on right."

Fourteen swears, two bathing suits, and one bruised knee later, I was ready. You had chosen a bathing suit while I was changing. You walked up to the... register, I think... and payed for our purchases. We then walked towards the exit.

You led me back to the car. I wondered how in the name of Kami-sama you remembered where you parked your vehicle, but decided against asking.

"Now we will go to the water park."

I nodded my head.

When we got there, my eyes widened. The name actually had something to do with what it contained. Oh, shit.

I hate water.

"No way."

You just grinned at me. You got out of the car, and came around to my side. My eyes got even wider.

"Please..." I whimpered, something I have never done before.

"You promise to make up for it?"

"Yes. I swear. Whatever you want. Just no water."

I realized the mistake I made when you grinned at me seductively.

"Well, let's go home then, my fire youkai."

I opened my mouth to protest, but closed it again, knowing I wanted this as much as you did.

So sorry about the shortness, peoples, but my brain is dead and the little people who live back there are telling me to sleep or my voice teacher will get all pissy at me for not having good quality in my "tone" in the morning. AAAAAAAH! The voices are too much!!! I must leave you now, I will update very soon.
