Chapter 4: Stories, First of three nights, and Only ones here

IN THE KITCHEN TELLING STORIES

"So how long have you guys known each other?" Yusuke asks.

"Well for a long time actually. Ever since we were about 2 years old." Liz said. Fox started to laugh.

"There is a funny story to how we met." Fox said, everyone looked at me, and Liz blushed. "Well lets just say I was a klutz when I was little."

"Tell us how you met. This will be interesting." Kuwabara said.

"Everything is interesting to you, baka." said a voice. Liz and Fox turned around to see who said it.

"Hey Hiei. Hiei this is my really good friend Liz and Liz this is a stubborn ass, Hiei." Fox said and Hiei glared at her.

"Hello Hiei." Liz said politely.

"Hn." was all Hiei said.

"So where was I before Hiei came in? Oh yeah. Anyways I was in my full fox form climbing a tree when Liz walked under it and I kinda tripped. She caught me before I hit the ground. She didn't have any home at the moment, so I took her to my village and my parents let her stay until her parents came to get her. We were friends and we were always together." Fox said and looked at everyone. "I told you I was a klutz."

"You tripped out of a tree. So she taught you how to become graceful, right?" Yusuke asked.

"No. I taught myself with her catching me most of the time." Fox said and started to laugh. Liz just shook her head.

"You sound very graceful when you were a young kit. I'm going to bed." Hiei said sarcastically.

"Hiei, remember your dare? You have to sleep with Fox for three nights in a row." Yusuke said and was jumping around with Jin, laughing along with Kuwabara who wasn't jumping. Fox blushed.

"I feel sorry for you Fox. I hope you have a nice three nights." Liz said.

Fox glares at her. "I was going to bed anyway." she mumbled and walked out of the kitchen with Hiei behind her. "So whose room?"

"Yours. I don't trust you in my room." Hiei said emotionlessly.

"Very well. Oh before I forget. Kurama and Yusuke have to sleep with each other." Fox said as they reached the stairs. She turned around and ran back to the kitchen. "Yusuke, you have to sleep with Kurama remember?" Everyone started to laugh. Kurama and Yusuke both blushed.

"Who dared them and how long?" Liz asked.

Fox smiled. "Hiei and for a week." She ran out and back to the stairs. "Follow me Hiei." They both go up the stairs and to Fox's room. She opened her door to her room, which was different from the one at King Emma's castle.

It had an illusion on it to make it look bigger then it really was. There was a large tree in the middle of the room with a bed at the top on a large branch. The carpet was grass and there were vines covering the walls. The curtains were a sky blue along with the coverings on the bed. There was a dresser and a desk with a computer on it. One of the walls were cover with swords and katanas. There was a bathroom connected to the room. It was like a rainforest with a waterfall for a shower that went into a small pond. It had the same illusion as the room. There was a sink that was held up by a bush and a mirror held up by a small tree behind the bush. Vines hung down as a door and to separate the bathroom from the regular room.

Hiei looked around the room and walked to the bathroom, while Fox went to her dresser to get some pajamas. Fox stood up to see Hiei walk out of the bathroom. She smiled when she noticed the look of surprise in Hiei's eyes.

"So?" She asked as Hiei went to check out the tree in the middle of the room.

"Surprising. If that is what you are asking." he said and looked at her.

"Well make yourself comfortable, I'm going to the bathroom." Fox said and shut the door to the bedroom as she walked by.

"Do you mean that forest in there is the bathroom?" Hiei asked wide eyed and pointed to the vine covered door.

"Yes Hiei. Calm down, it is just an illusion my mother taught me." Fox said and walked through the vines.

A few minutes later Fox comes out to see Hiei testing the bed that is in the tree, by jumping on it and moving around.

"It is alright Hiei." Fox said and Hiei fell off the bed and landed on the ground face first. "Hiei, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

"Whatever. I'm going down to get something to eat." Hiei said as he got up and walked to the door.

"Okay." Fox said. She walked over to the computer and turned it on.

Hiei opened the door and turned around to look at Fox. He noticed that she was wearing black silk pajama pants and a black silk shirt that said 'If You Value Your Life, Then Don't Bother Me'. He turned back around and walked out without shutting the door. When he got to the kitchen everyone looked at him.

"What are you doing Hiei?" Yusuke asked.

"Getting something to eat." Hiei replied and opened the freezer and took out a tub of ice cream.

"What does her room look like?" Kuwabara asked.

"Go look." Hiei said and put a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth.

"No don't go, she likes to keep her room isolated and so no one sees it. Hiei by any chance did you read her shirt?" Genkai said and Hiei nodded. "Well it is true."

"What did it say?" Kurama asked.

"'If You Value Your Life, Then Don't Bother Me.'" Hiei said. After a few more spoonfuls of ice cream, he put the container back and threw the spoon in the sink, and went upstairs.

When he got up to the room, Fox wasn't at the computer. He shut the door and jumped up to the bed and he saw her curled up under the covers.

'She looks cute when she is sleeping. What am I thinking.' Hiei thought as he pulled back the covers.

Once he was settled under the covers, Fox rolled over and her head went onto Hiei's arm. Hiei looked at her. Moved her so she was resting in his arms with her head on his chest and his arms around her. He fell asleep a few minutes later.

A couple hours later he was awaken by Fox who was shivering in his arms, gripping on to his shirt with a death grip, and had tears going down her cheeks.

'What is wrong with her?' Hiei thought. He turned onto his side and hugged Fox close to him. He placed his chin on to of her head.

Fox started to cry even more. He felt the tears through his tear stained shirt. He let her go and sat up. He was surprised that her grip on his shirt was strong. Once he had his back up against the headboard, he pulled Fox into his lap and held her close.

"Ssssshhhh. Fox it is alright. Calm down." Hiei whispered into her ear. He rocked her and whispered to her until she was peacefully sleeping again. A few minutes later Hiei fell asleep again with Fox in his lap and her head on his shoulder. His arms were still around her.

When Fox woke up the next morning, she noticed that she was up against something warm. She looked up to see Hiei sleeping with her in his lap.

'Why am I in his lap?' Fox thought and tried to move his hands so she could get up ad not wake him. Hiei's arms tightened around her waist and he muttered some incoherent words, that sounded like "Your not leaving so quit trying to."

Fox narrowed her eyes. She put her head near his ear to whisper. "Hiei. Kuwabara is going to kiss you."

His eyes shot open and jumped with Fox in his arms, forgetting that he was in a tree. They both go falling to the ground and Fox started to scream. Hiei Landed on his back with Fox on top of him. Her hands were on his chest and their faces were inches from each other.

Fox narrowed her eyes at him again. "Hiei you baka. Let go of me. You pea brain, did you forget you were..." Fox was saying when the door was busted open and the gang was standing in the door way and stared at them.

Yusuke, Jin, and Kuwabara pointed and started to laugh, while the others eyes widened.

"Jin I dare you to kiss Hiei." Fox said. Yusuke, Jin, and Kuwabara stopped laughing and looked at them. Jin took a step forward. Hiei's widened. He let Fox go and jumped away.

"What is going on here?" asked Genkai. Everyone pointed to Hiei.

"Damn Fox. Nice room." Yusuke said and started to look around.

"Whatever. Now all of you get out. That is including you Hiei." Fox said standing up.

"Hn." Was all he said and walked out. Once everyone was out and the door was shut, Fox took a shower and got dressed in a blue spaghetti strap shirt and black training pants. She grabbed her favorite katana and walked down the stairs, strapping the katana to her waist.

She walked by Hiei and into the kitchen, expecting to see everyone eating, but nobody was there. Fox just shrugged and walked over to the refrigerator. She took out orange juice and went to the cupboard to get a glass.

Fox finished her glass of orange juice when Hiei walked into the kitchen and he stared at her.

"What do you want?" Fox asked putting the glass in the sink, turning to face him. She leaned against the sink with her arms cross at her chest.

"I just wanted to say that we are the only ones here. The others had to do some stuff. So we are the only ones for the whole day." Hiei said without looking away from her.

"Whatever. I'm going to train." Fox said and walked out the back door to her training area near the cliff. She walked there and trained for 8 hours. When she got back to the temple she was pinned against the wall as she was about to go up stairs to her room.

"Where were you?" Hiei asked with a hint of anger in his voice.

"I told I was going to train. Now let go of me." Fox said annoyed. He let go and went to her room.

Fox took a shower got dressed and walked down stairs to find Hiei channel surfing on the TV. I walked to the kitchen door. "Hiei, do you want anything to eat?" She asked.

"No." was her reply. Fox shrugged and walked onto the kitchen. She went to a cupboard and took out a blender. She made herself a fruit smoothie.

The day went on like this for the rest of the day. It was time to go to bed, and remembering the dare, Hiei and Fox slept together again. Around midnight is when everyone came back. They were so loud and drunk (except Kurama and Yuukina.) Fox and Hiei knocked them unconscious, then went back to bed.
