Chapter 9

Alexis was in her room. Hiei was in the place where the boys were.

Sulking.

"I told you Hiei. You should have not done that!" Yusuke said.

"Quit it detective." Hiei said.

"Ouch." Kuwabara said grinning as Hiei's fist made contact with his head.

"Kuwabara, as of now, my hesitation to kill has lowered by 99% and you are very vulnerable." Hiei said. "Besides, I don't feel like talking."

"Kuwabara respects you on that certain topic Hiei." Kurama said.

"Will you all just quit it?" Hiei snapped.

"I just talked to Alexis and she said that in one way or the other, she 'forgives' you but is still angry at you and will not talk to you however she will talk to us." Kurama said.

"That makes things even more easier." Hiei said sarcastically.

"Who knew that you liked her?" Kuwabara said thoughtfully.

"Kuwabara, one more word..."

"What?" said Kuwabara innocently, "Ow." he said after Hiei hit him again.

"Where is she?" Hiei asked.

"Uuuy! You're looking for her!" Yusuke teased.

"You are very lucky detective that I do not yet have the strength to attack you." Hiei said as he slumped to the very comfortable chair. He was wearing a white suit and pants with white shoes. The others were wearing the same.

"Here." Kurama said handing Hiei a bouquet of roses.

Hiei stared at the roses dumbfounded. "Kurama, you did not tell me that you're... g-g-?" he said.

"Get your mind out off the gutter Hiei." Kurama said, "You will give this to Alexis."

"Oh, I just thought..."

***
"Alexis! I thought you said that you will be fixing yourself!" Kurama said.

"Um..."

"Alexis!"

"Yeah, I know..."

Hiei looked at her. She was wearing a blue gown that puffed at the bottom and had glitters and stars however, the strap on her shoulder hung loosely in her shoulders and was not fixed. Her gown was a bit ruffled and hair was sticking out of her hair (that was black and was supposed to be in a neat bun).

Kurama was halfway fixing Alexis' hair when a guard poked in.

"Who in here is Yusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwabara, and Kurama Minamino? A man named Koenma wants to talk to you." he said.

The three looked at each other confused. "What does Koenma want from us and how did he know that we were here?" Yusuke questioned.

"Here." Yusuke said.

"Please follow me." said the guards.

Still confused, the three followed. Before they left, Kurama poked his head back in.

"Hiei?" Kurama said.

"Hn?"

"Fix Alexis for me." he said.

It startled the two.

"No way!" they both shouted at the same time erupting from their seats.

"Never. I won't allow him." Alexis said.

"Hn." Hiei said. There was a look in his eyes that seemed to say he was ashamed to do it.

"I can fix myself thank you." Alexis said.

"Judging from the state you are in, I think you can't" Kurama said. "No buts! Hiei, if you do not do that, I will personally tell Yukina that you are her brother and Alexis, if you do it, I will give you money so you can shop all you want from day to night."

It was not the shopping that caught Alexis' attention first.

"Hiei has a sister? And who is Yukina?" she said.

Lastly, judging from the look that Hiei gave Kurama, Kurama decided that the best thing to do know was leave.

"Later!" he said to the two before closing the door.

Alexis rolled her eyes. Then she sat in front of the dresser (is that what you call it?) and stared at herself in the mirror. Hiei turned away pretending to be fixing his shirt.

Thirty minutes passed...

Is this a trick of Kurama? Hiei thought, Is he setting us up? If he is well, I don't like the way he does it.

Where are they? Alexis thought, Man, it's been like H3 as in Hours and Hours and Hours! Hm, might as well sleep. Hiei... oh he looks so gorgeous in that shirt... so... ahhhhh! Must stop... Ok, calmed down...

Now I'm getting so sleepy...

"Arrrgh!" Alexis said as she slumped to the bed that was a few inches to the right of the mirror. "Arg! Arg! Arg!" she said as she slammed the pillow in front of her.

Hiei looked at Alexis. This must be one of those ningen traits wherein they say something that catches ones attention. Hiei thought, then, before you know it, you both start talking to each other...

Well. She can't do that to me. I won't fall for her traps. Ever.

Hiei went to the other room leaving Alexis in the other room still slamming herself to the pillar in the bed. Hiei shook his head side to side and then closed the door.

He looked at himself in front of the mirror. It was him, Hiei, the Forbidden Child. An outcast. He has lived for a little above five hundred years and he has not yet learned to love. Well, except for his sister and Kurama as a sister and a friend however apart from that nothing.

... Or was there?

Hiei shook the thought away. There was a clock there and realized he was there for fifteen minutes. Time flies when you think so deep.

Immediately, he decided to check on Alexis in case Kurama and the others came without him hearing it. He opened the door and saw a pile of lump in the bed. His first reaction was panic. What if something happened to Alexis?

He ran fast to her and immediately took out the blankets as if expecting blood and death however... he found something else... Peace, innocence.

Alexis was sleeping with a smile on her face and lay in the most graceful (I said graceful and NOT something else) that as if she was vulnerable even if just touched. Hiei felt his face heat up and unknown to him of these feelings, he decided to fix the blankets.

Alexis shifted in her sleep that her head was facing the mirror that did not show her face since it was out of range.

Hiei stiffened a bit however he decided to look for Kurama. His hair was a mess and since Kurama shoed him the comb, he decided to use the one he saw on the dresser.

Success! Alexis thought, He didn't see me! He didn't see me! O my gosh Alexis, you're so smart! Duh! Of course I am! Oh yeah! Ha! He didn't even notice I wasn't even sleeping. Oh Alexis you smart girl, here give me a hug! Ummmm! (hugs with herself) Oh, I just love me!

Oooh! Lookie him! Alexis thought, He looks so graceful just stroking his hair with that brush... sigh... if only I could sigh with this mouth I have... maybe I should change I calling him VBF. Maybe I should call him VHF as in Very Handsome Figure! Whoaaaaa! I love myself! You are a great thing Alexis! Yeah, yeah, I know. Thank you very much.

AAAAAhhh! He's turning his head! Must close my eyes!

Hiei looked at Alexis since he felt like there was something... some... whatever thing that... Yeah, he couldn't piece it together. He went straight back to the mirror.

I wonder if it was Alexis? Hiei thought as he straightened his jacket and started brushing his hair. You know guys, they're more vainer than girls when it comes to the physical appearance once they realize how handsome they are. Oh come on you guys. I mean, Hiei's got thousands or maybe millions of fangirls out there and you all think that he's so stupid not to notice? Well, Hiei thought, There might be a way...

OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Alexis squealed in her mind, He just took off that white jacket! (Nah, don't worry. He's just taking out his jacket and I'll leave it at that) The shirt clings to him and he's so M.M. as in Manly and Muscular! Ooooh! SO cute! Shesh. Why did he have to put on that jacket. Oh my gosh! Alexis you were thinking of something bad! Bad Alexis! Bad! *sniff* *sniff* But... but... I'm not bad! I mean... I was just looking... I wasn't thinking of *snivel* anything bad... It's OK Alexis. I know you meant well. Gee thanks!

Hiei smirked to himself. Like what you see Alexis? he said grinning to himself (nonono! He's not planning anything to her! As in the you-know- it. He won't)

Hn. Hiei thought, I knew she was looking at me. This mirror is so useful. She does not know the concept of angles. Hn. Maybe I should read her mind... Nah, not worth it.

I wonder if he saw me? Alexis thought as she silently watched Hiei's graceful combing of his hair. I think I saw him look in my direction through the mirror... Oh never mind. I'll just "enjoy" this. HAHAHA! I'm so smart! He doesn't even know I'm looking at him! He's so dumb! Bwahahahaha! Oh gee Alexis, I didn't know you were that smart! Thank you very much. You see I'm sooo smart that I was able to look at Hiei without him knowing it! I could stare at him all day...

Dumb? Hiei thought, Without me knowing it? We'll see about that Alexis.

Ooooh... Alexis said, He's so graceful... so gentle... so great... so... hey! Where'd he go?

"So, did you enjoy the view?" someone whispered in her ear.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Alexis said as she sat up. "Oh, Hiei, it's just you... I mean, what?"

"I said, did you enjoy the view." Hiei said smirking.

"Are you accusing me? Me? Alexis?" Alexis said as she pointed her finger to his nose. Hiei did not mind. There was a faint blush in her cheeks and she could read all the things her mind was saying right now.

There was only one thing Hiei wanted now and that was revenge. In short, black mail.

"Are we friends again?" Hiei said smirking.

"No way!" Alexis said as she crossed her arms.

"I'll tell this to everyone." Hiei said still smirking.

"Grrrrr...."

"So?"

(by now you guessed that was Hiei's impatient shoe)

"Alexis, you know my patience is not very long."

"Fine! Ok! However can I ask you one question first?" Alexis asked.

"Hn."

"You like me right?" Alexis said.

"Ningen! No!" Hiei said.

"Yeah right!" Alexis said batting her eyelashes.

"I really don't Alexis." Hiei said.

"Ok then." she said with an all-knowing tone.

"I really don't Alexis." Hiei said in a threatening voice.

"Ok." she said as she waved from the door, "However we'll be friends once you catch me!" she said and ran away.

Hiei grinned and before he knew it, he had caught her.
