Hey guys im sooooooooooo sorry this took so long! My life has been so
hectic! ::sends presents:: enjoy
"Kimura.....going to the dance on Saturday?" Keiko asked walking by. Kimura shut her locker. "that's.....this Saturday? As in tomorrow?" Kimura asked. Keiko laughed. "Of course." Keiko responded. "......well.....i guess now I am....." Kimura said. "It's a formal dance." Keiko said. "Oh...." "If you need anything to wear, let me know.....i have tons of dresses you could barrow." Keiko said. She walked away. "Oh man.....this is going to be interesting." Kimura said to herself.
The bell rang, and Kimura walked outside. "Hey Kimura?" A voice called out. Kimura turned around. A boy with red hair and blue eyes ran up to her. "Hey Kiao..... what's up?" Kimura asked. "I was wondering if you had a date to the dance yet. I know its last minute but I just found out about it." He said. "Sorry.....i have a date.....maybe next dance?" Kimura asked. "Sure." Kaio said. He smiled and walked away.
"Kimura?" called another voice. "Urg.....huh?" Kimura said turning around. "Oh hi Yusuke I thought you were another random guy....what's up?" Kimura asked. "Who are you going with?" He asked. "Oh.....um....." Kimura stopped walking. "I didn't exactly ask him yet." Kimura said. "Who is it?" Yusuke asked again. "Well I kinda wanted Hiei to go." Kimura said. "Yusuke laughed. "I don't think he would fit in here Kim-Chan." "I know, but it was a good thought." Kimura said. "But I'll force him if he says no." Yusuke said. "Its alright im probably not going to ask him anyways." Kimura said. "He will just give me his death stare and insult me or something." Kimura said. "I don't think he would do that to you, although it may take a while to convince him to go." Yusuke said. "Try it, see what happens." Yusuke said. "Are you going to the dance?" Kimura asked. "Now I am.....i wanna see what Hiei looks like at a formal dance." Yusuke said laughing. "Oh this is going to be great......everyone is meeting at my house right now, your invited." Yusuke said. "ok.....ill go home and tell my mom....." Kimura responded.
Kimura rang the doorbell to Yusuke's house. A loud thud came from inside with a lot of screaming and yelling added to that. Yusuke finally answered the door. Kimura walked inside to find Kuwabara on the ground, and Hiei pointing his sword at his neck. "Hiei....what on earth are you doing?" Kimura asked. "amusing myself." Hiei responded. "Where's Kurama?" Kimura asked. "He isn't here yet." Yusuke replied. "Oh....." Kimura answered.
The doorbell rang again. "It must be Kurama.....Kuwabara I need your help." Yusuke said. "Answering the door?" Kuwabara asked scratching his head. "No you idiot.....just come with me." Yusuke said. Kuwabara followed Yusuke out of the room telling Yusuke never to call him an idiot again. Kimura thought it was obvious why he did this.
Kimura sat on the floor, looking up at Hiei who was sitting on the window ledge looking out the window. "What do you want?" Hiei asked, never once looking back at her. "what?' Kimura asked. "Im not clueless. They obviously all left for a reason, and Kurama is never late unless he means to be. This was all a set up. What do you want?" Hiei asked. "Oh.....well.....if you put it that way....." Kimura paused and looked down at her feet. "well?" Hiei asked impatiently, never taking his gaze from the outside ".....my school is having a dance.....and I was wondering if you would like to come?" Kimura asked. Hiei didn't respond. There was a painful silence filing the room.
"You want me.....to go to a ningen ......dance?" Hiei asked. His tone did not sound amused. "Um.....yeah....." Kimura responded. "That is redi....." "Hiei!" Kurama said walking into the room. Hiei looked up. "uhh....Yusuke wants you to .....see him in the kitchen....." Kurama said. "Tell him to come in here." Hiei replied with a smirk on his face. "Just do it Hiei." Kurama said. They both walked into the kitchen.
"Please Hiei." Kurama said. "Have you all gone mad? What makes you think I would do such an erotic thing!?" Hiei spat. "Don't tell me you didn't arrive at an assumption dealing with demons coming to the school for her that night Hiei." Kurama said. "She could handle her self." Hiei said. "Just do it Hiei." Kurama said. "There is no way in hell I am doing it." - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - ------------- -
"I cannot believe you talked me into this Kurama." Hiei replied pulling up his new dress pants and He buttoned his shirt. "at least you are wearing black." Kurama said. Hiei looked at Kurama with his death stare. "Let's just get this over with." Hiei said. "But you are forgetting something Hiei." Kurama said. He held a bottle of something clear in his hand. "if you come near me with that, I will slice your hand off." Hiei said stepping backward. "With what? You can't be bringing weapons to the dance....." Kurama said. He cornered Hiei between his bed and desk.
The door bell rang. Kimura did one more quick mirror check. Her beautiful strapless white gown flowed gracefully, and the design of the red rose on her side gave it lovely color, matching the tone of her hair.
Kimura ran to get the door. "Kurama!" Kimura said with a smile. What are you doing here? I didn't actually think you would come!" she welcomed him in with a smile. "Yes well, Keiko was nice to invite me to the dance, just incase.....well....." Kimura frowned. "You think there will be demons there also?" "I didn't want to say anything." Kurama said. "Well.....ill try to have a good time. I hope nothing happens." The doorbell rang once more. Kimura answered it, and in stepped Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Keiko. "Now all we need is the shortie!" Kuwabara said trying to hold in a laugh. "Yes.....where is Hiei?" Kurama asked. "He left my house a while ago." He explained. "He probably was to embarrassed!" Kuwabara howled with laughter. "that's not funny Kuwabara." Keiko said. "Ill go find him." Kurama said.
Kurama stepped outside and closed the door. He immediately knew where Hiei was. When he had walked to Kimura's house, Kurama did sense spirit energy. Kurama walked over to the tree in her front yard. "What may I ask are you doing up their?" Kurama asked. "Hiei, when we go to dances, we must escort our dates." He said chuckling. "I am not coming down." Hiei said. "but then you wont be able to see how beautiful Kimura is looking tonight." Kurama said. "hn." "Alright Hiei, ill just have to go back inside and tell people that you are hiding in a tree like the coward you are." Kurama said turning around. "And could you tell that baka I could here every word he was saying." Hiei exclaimed. "Hiei come down here." Kimura's voice came. She giggled. Hiei's eyes widened. Hiei gave out a sigh. "Hiei! come down it cant be that bad." Kimura yelled. "I am down." A deep voice came from behind her causing her to get Goosebumps. Kimura turned around. She started to laugh. Hiei stood there with his hands in his pockets, not feeling amused one bit. "Im sorry.......im not laughing at you Hiei, im just laughing at the fact that it must have had taken Kurama a long time to actually get you to slick your hair back." Kimura said. "In all honesty I think he did a very good job. You look cuddly." Kimura said putting her arms behind her back, swaying back and forth. "If anyone tries to cuddle me they will be cuddling the tip of my katana." Hiei said. "What katana?" Kimura asked. Hiei looked down where his katana used to be. "K'so!" Hiei whispered. "Only spirit energy tonight, Hiei." Kimura said.
They all walked inside, Hiei now having a better look at Kimura. She really was beautiful. "Hey! Shortie got even shorter!" Kuwabara said laughing. "well he is still taller than I am!" Kimura replied. Yusuke walked over to Hiei and put his pinky to the side of his lips. "I think I will call him Minnie Me." Everyone broke out in laughter, accept for Kimura who smiled. "You know Yusuke, Hiei does kinda look like you with his hair like that." Kimura said. "For every time you all make a comment, that's one more scar you will carry." Hiei said.
"Oh good everyone is here!" Kimura's mother said walking into the room. "oh Hiei, you look so adorable." She said with a smile. Hiei could feel him self turn red. Yusuke and Kuwabara started to snigger. "Mother...." Kimura whined. "Will you all be leaving shortly?" Kimura's mother asked. "Were going to be leaving now mom." Kimura said with a smile. "Alright, you all have fun and behave." She said. Everyone walked out the door and toward the school.
They all arrived a few minutes later at the school. They stepped inside and found everyone dancing already. "Hey Kimura!" came a voice. Kimura turned around. "Hey Kiao." Kimura said. "Is this your date?" He asked. "Oh yes. This is my friend Hiei." Kimura said. Hiei studied the boy carefully. "Whoa! Dude nice contacts! Im fully digging the red color. It makes you look devious." He said. Hiei gave an evil smirk revealing a sharp fang. "You have no idea." Kimura said sarcastically.
Hiei walked over to a set of chairs and sat down. "Do.....do you think Demons will really come here?" Kimura asked looking around. "I don't know. I am looking for a specific one if that." Hiei said.
"You have got to be kidding me." Ryu said looking at the school. Out of all places.....she goes here. Why me. I swear is slapping a girl in the face bad luck or something 'cause after that it went all downhill." Ryu said loudly.
"Please?" "No." "Please?" "No!" "Why not?" "Tried it once.....didn't like it." "c'mon!" "No." "Hiei....." "N-O." "But it's a rule!" "....." "yep that's right.....a rule, stating....uh.....you have to or else you.....um....." ".....no." "fine then ill just have to tell everyone where you are ticklish." "..................................................you wouldn't." "I would." "You wouldn't." "would." "You don't know what..." "right there!" Kimura poked Hiei in the side, causing him to jump.
Hiei gave Kimura an evil look and got up out of his chair. He followed her into the crowd. Kimura stopped at a spot just as a new slow song came on. Kimura could feel herself Turing bright red. Hiei cautiously slid his arms around her waist. Kimura rapped her arms around Hiei's neck, and they started to dance.
Kimura looked up at Hiei, but Hiei kept looking around the room. Hiei was indeed looking for any demons, but most of all, trying to avoid Kimura's eye contact. He knew sooner or later, he would eventually have to look down at her.
"C'mon Hiei....what are you doing! You need eye contact! If you ever want to get some, that's the way to get them!" Yusuke whispered looking at the dancing couple while pouring alcohol in the punch.
Hiei finally looked down, hoping Kimura was looking somewhere else, but she wasn't. Hiei tried to pull away, but Kimura's gaze was pulling him in. "She really did look beautiful tonight." Hiei thought to himself. Kimura could feel Hiei's grip on her waist tighten slightly. Kimura took a step closer, still keeping the eye contact. There bodies were now touching. They couldn't get any closed. Hiei could feel his heart beating faster. "Kimura could feel her heart beating faster as well.
"Yes! There we go!" Yusuke said stepping away from the punch and walking over to Kuwabara. "Urameshi I think there going to kiss!" Kuwabara said in amazement. "Who woulda thought Hiei could get a girl like that!?" He asked. "Nah I bet you ten bucks a demon walks in right about.....now!" Yusuke yelled.
Hiei pushed away. "You feel that to?" Kimura asked. "Where the hell is it coming from?" Hiei yelled. Yusuke looked at them both. "Well they both sensed something.....you owe me five." He said turning to Kuwabara. Yusuke looked up. "Hiei!" Yusuke yelled. He pointed up to the ceiling where six demons were crawled. Kimura and Hiei ran through the crowd. Hiei! we have to get out of here before they start attacking other people." Kimura yelled. They both ran out of the doors into the school. "Where are we?" Hiei asked. "We had to go through the school way. Its was the closest exit. But now we are going to have to go around to the other end of the school to get outside." Kimura said running. They both heard the door slam open again. Kimura looked behind her, and even more demons were chasing them.
"You keep running, ill hold them back. You get to the exit!" Hiei yelled. He stopped, and Kimura hesitated, but still kept running. Kimura could hear slashing an moaning coming from behind her, and knew Hiei would be more than just alright on his own. Kimura got to the stairs that lead to the roof. She would take those stairs, and then climb down the ladder from the roof. Kimura opened the door and ran out onto the roof. A demon jumped in front of her, and Kimura jumped backwards. "Three circles......just like in my dream!" She summoned some ice shards, and chucked them, cutting the demon into many pieces. A demon from behind jumped on Kimura tackling her to the ground. Kimura struggled as the demon bound her wrists.
Kimura looked up and saw a man standing over her. He looked very familiar, and wore a leather jacket. The demon ran at the man, but he dodged, and threw a circular energy ball of blue mist hitting the demon. The demon froze in place, not moving one bit. He walked over to Kimura and untied her. He helped her up, and stood there examining her. "um......who are you?" Kimura asked. "We bumped into each other the other day.....my name is Ryu....." Ryu said hoping to get some kind of familiar expression. "...hello Ryu." Kimura said. Ryu fell over. "I work for Koenma. Im a spirit detective.....at the moment....im kinda helping you..." Ryu said. "...with out Koenma knowing." Ryu added. "Do you care to elaborate?" Kimura asked crossing her arms looking very suspicious. "Not exactly.....come one lets go." Ryu pulled Kimura by her arm, and walked over to the door leading back into the school.
Ryu Kimura and Hiei all met up about halfway down the hall. "Its you!" They both said. They both ran at each other, but stopped when Kimura yelled and then explained things to them. "What do we do now?" Kimura asked. "I say we go back to the dance....you did come here to have fun didn't you?" Ryu asked. "Well.....sorta..." Kimura said. "Is everyone alright?" Came a voice. Kurama stepped into the hall. "We're fine Kurama...this is Ryu...he is a spirit detective." Kimura said "Kurama?" Ryu asked. Ryu circled around Kurama examining him with a smirk. Kimura felt very confused. She saw an expression on Kurama's looking very serious, and a flash of anger was present in his eyes, but only for a split second. "Its nice to meet you Ryu." Kurama said through gridded teeth holding out his hand. Ryu took it. As they both shook each other's hands, they kept eye contact, never blinking. They finally broke away, and Kimura walked up to Kurama. "Kurama.....those demons...they have the circle on their foreheads..." "Just like in your dream?" Ryu asked. Kimura Looked at Ryu with amazement, and Kurama stepped foreword, wanting to say something, but stepped back. Ryu smiled.
They all headed back to the gym. "So what is it exactly that you are helping me with? And how do you know my dream?" Kimura asked Ryu. "its kind of hard to explain it had to do with those demons.....with the circles on there heads. They belong to guy in makia....he wants to capture you.....but you cannot tell Koenma.....or Hiei.....or anyone else." Ryu said. Kimura looked at Hiei who was drinking ome of the punch Yusuke was having fun with. "Why should I trust you?" Kimura asked. "you just.....just trust me." Ryu said. ".....ok.....but if anything suspicious goes on that has something to do with you, im telling." Kimura said. "Fine." Ryu said. "im leaving now.....bye." Ryu walked away and disappeared into the crowd. "......uh...but you didn't answer my second.....question....." Kimura walked over to Yusuke who was bright red and laughing pretty hard. "Uh...yusuke where is Hiei?" Kimura asked. "Hes outside being sick." Yusuke choked. ".....why?" he didn't know I put ogre killer in the drink." Yusuke said. "And what the hell is that!?" Kimura asked. "It's the strongest form of demon alcohol. Humans are immune, and it attracts demons....he couldn't get enough of it...oh my god its so funny!" Yusuke said falling over. Kimura ran outside.
Kimura ran over to Hiei who was on his knees, leaning his right hand against the wall, throwing up. "...Hiei...." Kimura said cautiously. Hiei finally stopped, and looked up. He stood up, wobbling, then backed up. He had a strange look on his face, like he was scared. He started to back up. He took two steps, then passed out. "Hiei!" Kimura said running over to him. She knelt down, and lifted him up, leaning his upper body against her.
Yusuke ran outside. "Yusuke you idiot! You knew this would happen!" Kimura yelled in aggravation. "I couldn't help my self. You actually think I would attend a dance otherwise?" Yusuke asked. "What ever.....just help me get him to my house.....i could tell my mom he wasn't feeling well, and his parents are off somewhere...." Kimura said. "Alright, alright..." Yusuke said lifting up Hiei's body.
"So idiotic.....so arrogant! You could have put other people in danger!" Kimura screamed at Yusuke putting a wet washcloth on Hiei's head. Yusuke was sitting the corner of Kimura's room trying so hard not to laugh. "Its not funny Yusuke!" Kimura said. "oooouuuu......stopyellin...." Hiei managed to say slurring his words. Yusuke fell over laughing. "Yusuke just...go home please...I don't need any more of your help tonight." Kimura said aggravated. Yusuke got up and left the room still sniggering.
"Hiei.....im so sorry." Kimura whispered. "for what?" Hiei said sitting up. "that was the best dance I ever went too.." Hiei said standing up. He imiediatly fell back down. "Woe..uh Hiei...I think you should just stay...on the bed." Kimura said helping Hiei up and walking him back over to the bed. "ok..." Hiei said still sluring his words. "Hiei you should really leave that icepack on your forehead." Kimura said. "I don't want to." Hiei said throwing it on the floor. "Alright....sure..have it your way....you kinda scare me when your drunk." Kimura said.
Kimura yawned. It was at least one in the morning, and Hiei still wouldn't go to sleep. Kimura yawned. "Go to sleep." Hiei said. "I cant...you aren't asleep yet, and that's my bed." Kimura said. "So then we could share it." Hiei said. "Your drunk.....you don't know what your saying....." Kimura said walking over and closing the door. Hiei got up out of bed, and grabbed Kimura by the arms. "C'mon...are you afraid?" Hiei asked pulling Kimura over to the bed. "Slightly ...." Kimura responded. "Just lay down Hiei." Kimura said pulling away.
Hiei grabbed Kimura's arms once more, pulling her over. "ow..hey Hiei...that kinda...hurts.." Kimura said getting uneasy. "Hiei, let go please." Kimura said. Hiei didn't listen. "Please Hiei...let go......let go!" Kimura pulled away, and punched him hard across the face. Hiei looked at Kimura in shock, then passed out onto the bed. Kimura looked down at her knuckles, which had Hiei's blood. She looked at Hiei. his nose was bleeding, and so was his lip. Kimura gasped.
Kimura ran over to Hiei, lifting him up so he wouldn't choke on his own blood. She pinched his nose so the blood wouldn't get all over the place, but it didn't seem to help. Hiei was coughing up his blood, and throwing up every so often. Finally after about an hour, Hiei stopped bleeding. Kimura laid him back down on the bed, avoiding the bloody and thrown up carpet spots. She carefully undid Hiei's shirt, and tossed it aside with his tie. Kimura was surprised. Kurama must have made him wear the boxers.
Kimura pulled Hiei up and rested his head on the pillow. After cleaning up a bit, she walked over and turned off the lights, leaving the room. Kimura changed out of her dress, and put a tank top and pajama pants on. She looked down at her arms, and noticed the bruise on each, looking exactly like a handprint. "If he squeezed any harder, he would have shattered my bones." Kimura said climbing onto the couch in the living room.
Kimura awoke to her mother saying goodbye, on her way to work at the office. "On a Sunday mom?" Kimura asked. Her mother shrugged. "ill be home around 5." "Alright mom....bye love you." Kimura said pulling the covers over her again. Her eyes shot wide opened. "Oh my god! Hiei!" Kimura rushed off the couch, and stopped in the kitchen, getting a glass of water. She ran upstairs and opened her door, finding Hiei lying on his back, his hand to his head. Kimura closed the door. "ow." Hiei said aggravated. "Sorry...." Kimura said walking over. "Here I brought you this." Kimura said handing Hiei some water. Hiei took the glass, and sipped the water. He quickly spit it back out into the cup. He grabbed his jaw,and adjusted it. The water Hiei spit out into the cup was now red.
Kimura made a disgruntled face. "Do you mind telling me what the hell this is all about?" Hiei said. He stuck his hand in his mouth, and pulled out a loose tooth. "...uuhhhhhh....don't...you remember?" Kimura asked with a cheesey smile. "no I don't reme....." Hiei looked down at her arms. "what the hell happened to you?" Hiei asked. "Oh.....um..." Kimura bent down and grabbed a sweatshirt, throwing it over her head. ".....why are there bruises on your arms?" Hiei asked. "Are you hungry, im hungry." Kimura said. She walked down the stairs to the kitchen, Hiei following right behind her.
"What happened last night?" Hiei asked. "nothing..its nothing..." Kimura said. Hiei stared at her. "It was just an accident." Kimura said looking down. "Who did this?" Hiei asked. "...you did....." Kimura said. Everything went silence.
"Let me see your arms." Hiei demanded. "No Hiei...im fine." "let me see your arms!" Hiei yelled causing Kimura to jump. She took off her sweatshirt, and Hiei grabbed her right hand, lifting her arm. He inspected the bruise. "im.....sorry." Hiei said. Kimura couldn't believe what she had just heard. Did he actually say the word.....sorry? Kimura never thought Hiei even knew the word.
"Kurama ...always told me Im violent when I get drunk...I'll kick Yusuke's ass." Hiei said. "How did you know it was Yusuke." Kimura asked. "That bastard showed me the stuff after I drank it.....now that I remembered......it's a shame for him that I did." Hiei said. "Im...sorry about your jaw Hiei." Kimura said. "Why what did you do?" Hiei asked. "Well you weren't letting go so...I kinda punched you...hard." Kimura said. Hiei smiled. "where are my clothes?" Hiei asked. "Im washing them. Kimura said. "Nice boxers."
"How is your hang over?" Kimura asked. "So is that what you ningens call this?" Hiei asked rubbing his head sitting down on the couch. "you want some food?" Kimura asked. "No...no food...." Hiei said holding his stomach. "Does your head still hurt?" Kimura asked. "I could hardly see strait, and talking is making me feel dizzy...I say so." Hiei said laying down. "We'll...my mom used to do something when I would suffer from my amnesia migraines." Kimura said. "Amnesia?" Hiei asked. "Yeah..i fell when I was little. I lost all my memory, but I luckly gained all or most of all my memories back...here let me show you. It makes the pain go away." Kimura said. "Sit up." Kimura said helping Hiei up. Hiei slowly sat up. "I want to lay down." Hiei said. "Trust me it will make you feel better." Kimura said.
Kimura placed her hands on both sides of Hiei's temples. She started to massage his temple clockwise. Hiei was about to protest, but it did make the pain go away, and it felt really good. "Lean your head back on the couch." Kimura said pulling his head back. Hiei closed his eyes. Before he knew it, he was drifting off into yet another sleep.
Kimura started to giggle. "Hiei.....your not supposed to fall asleep." Kimura paused. There was a knock at the back door. She ran to the door and opened it. "R.....Ryu?" Kimura asked. He stepped inside the house. "I need to talk to you." He said. "Kimura where did you put my.....clothes." Hiei stopped at the sight of Ryu. "Ok, well I could see you too are buisy at the moment, ill come back later." Ryu said. "Oh.....wait! Ryu its..not like that.....im washing his clothes they got all worn and stuff after the demons came last night." Kimura said turning red. "Right.....well.....ill come back later." Ryu said walking out the door.
"Your clothes are in the dryer Hiei....." Kimura said. Another knock came at the door. "Hi Kurama." Kimura said welcoming him in. "Is Hiei still here? Im very sorry I did not come back to the house with you last night.....i didn't know..... are you alright?" He asked Kimura. "Yeah im fine....." Kimura said. "Hiei is not exactly the greatest person to be around when he is drunk." Kurama said. Hiei walked into the room fully dressed. "Listen.....you guys.....talk or whatever.....but I have to go find someone." Kimura said slipping on her shoes. Hiei gave her a sideways glance. Kimura returned it. She closed the door, and walked toward town. "I hope he is here somewhere..." Kimura said looking around.
"Hiei.....im leaving for spirit world.....there are a few things I must address Koenma with.....i just hope Kimura will forgive me."
"Kimura.....going to the dance on Saturday?" Keiko asked walking by. Kimura shut her locker. "that's.....this Saturday? As in tomorrow?" Kimura asked. Keiko laughed. "Of course." Keiko responded. "......well.....i guess now I am....." Kimura said. "It's a formal dance." Keiko said. "Oh...." "If you need anything to wear, let me know.....i have tons of dresses you could barrow." Keiko said. She walked away. "Oh man.....this is going to be interesting." Kimura said to herself.
The bell rang, and Kimura walked outside. "Hey Kimura?" A voice called out. Kimura turned around. A boy with red hair and blue eyes ran up to her. "Hey Kiao..... what's up?" Kimura asked. "I was wondering if you had a date to the dance yet. I know its last minute but I just found out about it." He said. "Sorry.....i have a date.....maybe next dance?" Kimura asked. "Sure." Kaio said. He smiled and walked away.
"Kimura?" called another voice. "Urg.....huh?" Kimura said turning around. "Oh hi Yusuke I thought you were another random guy....what's up?" Kimura asked. "Who are you going with?" He asked. "Oh.....um....." Kimura stopped walking. "I didn't exactly ask him yet." Kimura said. "Who is it?" Yusuke asked again. "Well I kinda wanted Hiei to go." Kimura said. "Yusuke laughed. "I don't think he would fit in here Kim-Chan." "I know, but it was a good thought." Kimura said. "But I'll force him if he says no." Yusuke said. "Its alright im probably not going to ask him anyways." Kimura said. "He will just give me his death stare and insult me or something." Kimura said. "I don't think he would do that to you, although it may take a while to convince him to go." Yusuke said. "Try it, see what happens." Yusuke said. "Are you going to the dance?" Kimura asked. "Now I am.....i wanna see what Hiei looks like at a formal dance." Yusuke said laughing. "Oh this is going to be great......everyone is meeting at my house right now, your invited." Yusuke said. "ok.....ill go home and tell my mom....." Kimura responded.
Kimura rang the doorbell to Yusuke's house. A loud thud came from inside with a lot of screaming and yelling added to that. Yusuke finally answered the door. Kimura walked inside to find Kuwabara on the ground, and Hiei pointing his sword at his neck. "Hiei....what on earth are you doing?" Kimura asked. "amusing myself." Hiei responded. "Where's Kurama?" Kimura asked. "He isn't here yet." Yusuke replied. "Oh....." Kimura answered.
The doorbell rang again. "It must be Kurama.....Kuwabara I need your help." Yusuke said. "Answering the door?" Kuwabara asked scratching his head. "No you idiot.....just come with me." Yusuke said. Kuwabara followed Yusuke out of the room telling Yusuke never to call him an idiot again. Kimura thought it was obvious why he did this.
Kimura sat on the floor, looking up at Hiei who was sitting on the window ledge looking out the window. "What do you want?" Hiei asked, never once looking back at her. "what?' Kimura asked. "Im not clueless. They obviously all left for a reason, and Kurama is never late unless he means to be. This was all a set up. What do you want?" Hiei asked. "Oh.....well.....if you put it that way....." Kimura paused and looked down at her feet. "well?" Hiei asked impatiently, never taking his gaze from the outside ".....my school is having a dance.....and I was wondering if you would like to come?" Kimura asked. Hiei didn't respond. There was a painful silence filing the room.
"You want me.....to go to a ningen ......dance?" Hiei asked. His tone did not sound amused. "Um.....yeah....." Kimura responded. "That is redi....." "Hiei!" Kurama said walking into the room. Hiei looked up. "uhh....Yusuke wants you to .....see him in the kitchen....." Kurama said. "Tell him to come in here." Hiei replied with a smirk on his face. "Just do it Hiei." Kurama said. They both walked into the kitchen.
"Please Hiei." Kurama said. "Have you all gone mad? What makes you think I would do such an erotic thing!?" Hiei spat. "Don't tell me you didn't arrive at an assumption dealing with demons coming to the school for her that night Hiei." Kurama said. "She could handle her self." Hiei said. "Just do it Hiei." Kurama said. "There is no way in hell I am doing it." - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - ------------- -
"I cannot believe you talked me into this Kurama." Hiei replied pulling up his new dress pants and He buttoned his shirt. "at least you are wearing black." Kurama said. Hiei looked at Kurama with his death stare. "Let's just get this over with." Hiei said. "But you are forgetting something Hiei." Kurama said. He held a bottle of something clear in his hand. "if you come near me with that, I will slice your hand off." Hiei said stepping backward. "With what? You can't be bringing weapons to the dance....." Kurama said. He cornered Hiei between his bed and desk.
The door bell rang. Kimura did one more quick mirror check. Her beautiful strapless white gown flowed gracefully, and the design of the red rose on her side gave it lovely color, matching the tone of her hair.
Kimura ran to get the door. "Kurama!" Kimura said with a smile. What are you doing here? I didn't actually think you would come!" she welcomed him in with a smile. "Yes well, Keiko was nice to invite me to the dance, just incase.....well....." Kimura frowned. "You think there will be demons there also?" "I didn't want to say anything." Kurama said. "Well.....ill try to have a good time. I hope nothing happens." The doorbell rang once more. Kimura answered it, and in stepped Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Keiko. "Now all we need is the shortie!" Kuwabara said trying to hold in a laugh. "Yes.....where is Hiei?" Kurama asked. "He left my house a while ago." He explained. "He probably was to embarrassed!" Kuwabara howled with laughter. "that's not funny Kuwabara." Keiko said. "Ill go find him." Kurama said.
Kurama stepped outside and closed the door. He immediately knew where Hiei was. When he had walked to Kimura's house, Kurama did sense spirit energy. Kurama walked over to the tree in her front yard. "What may I ask are you doing up their?" Kurama asked. "Hiei, when we go to dances, we must escort our dates." He said chuckling. "I am not coming down." Hiei said. "but then you wont be able to see how beautiful Kimura is looking tonight." Kurama said. "hn." "Alright Hiei, ill just have to go back inside and tell people that you are hiding in a tree like the coward you are." Kurama said turning around. "And could you tell that baka I could here every word he was saying." Hiei exclaimed. "Hiei come down here." Kimura's voice came. She giggled. Hiei's eyes widened. Hiei gave out a sigh. "Hiei! come down it cant be that bad." Kimura yelled. "I am down." A deep voice came from behind her causing her to get Goosebumps. Kimura turned around. She started to laugh. Hiei stood there with his hands in his pockets, not feeling amused one bit. "Im sorry.......im not laughing at you Hiei, im just laughing at the fact that it must have had taken Kurama a long time to actually get you to slick your hair back." Kimura said. "In all honesty I think he did a very good job. You look cuddly." Kimura said putting her arms behind her back, swaying back and forth. "If anyone tries to cuddle me they will be cuddling the tip of my katana." Hiei said. "What katana?" Kimura asked. Hiei looked down where his katana used to be. "K'so!" Hiei whispered. "Only spirit energy tonight, Hiei." Kimura said.
They all walked inside, Hiei now having a better look at Kimura. She really was beautiful. "Hey! Shortie got even shorter!" Kuwabara said laughing. "well he is still taller than I am!" Kimura replied. Yusuke walked over to Hiei and put his pinky to the side of his lips. "I think I will call him Minnie Me." Everyone broke out in laughter, accept for Kimura who smiled. "You know Yusuke, Hiei does kinda look like you with his hair like that." Kimura said. "For every time you all make a comment, that's one more scar you will carry." Hiei said.
"Oh good everyone is here!" Kimura's mother said walking into the room. "oh Hiei, you look so adorable." She said with a smile. Hiei could feel him self turn red. Yusuke and Kuwabara started to snigger. "Mother...." Kimura whined. "Will you all be leaving shortly?" Kimura's mother asked. "Were going to be leaving now mom." Kimura said with a smile. "Alright, you all have fun and behave." She said. Everyone walked out the door and toward the school.
They all arrived a few minutes later at the school. They stepped inside and found everyone dancing already. "Hey Kimura!" came a voice. Kimura turned around. "Hey Kiao." Kimura said. "Is this your date?" He asked. "Oh yes. This is my friend Hiei." Kimura said. Hiei studied the boy carefully. "Whoa! Dude nice contacts! Im fully digging the red color. It makes you look devious." He said. Hiei gave an evil smirk revealing a sharp fang. "You have no idea." Kimura said sarcastically.
Hiei walked over to a set of chairs and sat down. "Do.....do you think Demons will really come here?" Kimura asked looking around. "I don't know. I am looking for a specific one if that." Hiei said.
"You have got to be kidding me." Ryu said looking at the school. Out of all places.....she goes here. Why me. I swear is slapping a girl in the face bad luck or something 'cause after that it went all downhill." Ryu said loudly.
"Please?" "No." "Please?" "No!" "Why not?" "Tried it once.....didn't like it." "c'mon!" "No." "Hiei....." "N-O." "But it's a rule!" "....." "yep that's right.....a rule, stating....uh.....you have to or else you.....um....." ".....no." "fine then ill just have to tell everyone where you are ticklish." "..................................................you wouldn't." "I would." "You wouldn't." "would." "You don't know what..." "right there!" Kimura poked Hiei in the side, causing him to jump.
Hiei gave Kimura an evil look and got up out of his chair. He followed her into the crowd. Kimura stopped at a spot just as a new slow song came on. Kimura could feel herself Turing bright red. Hiei cautiously slid his arms around her waist. Kimura rapped her arms around Hiei's neck, and they started to dance.
Kimura looked up at Hiei, but Hiei kept looking around the room. Hiei was indeed looking for any demons, but most of all, trying to avoid Kimura's eye contact. He knew sooner or later, he would eventually have to look down at her.
"C'mon Hiei....what are you doing! You need eye contact! If you ever want to get some, that's the way to get them!" Yusuke whispered looking at the dancing couple while pouring alcohol in the punch.
Hiei finally looked down, hoping Kimura was looking somewhere else, but she wasn't. Hiei tried to pull away, but Kimura's gaze was pulling him in. "She really did look beautiful tonight." Hiei thought to himself. Kimura could feel Hiei's grip on her waist tighten slightly. Kimura took a step closer, still keeping the eye contact. There bodies were now touching. They couldn't get any closed. Hiei could feel his heart beating faster. "Kimura could feel her heart beating faster as well.
"Yes! There we go!" Yusuke said stepping away from the punch and walking over to Kuwabara. "Urameshi I think there going to kiss!" Kuwabara said in amazement. "Who woulda thought Hiei could get a girl like that!?" He asked. "Nah I bet you ten bucks a demon walks in right about.....now!" Yusuke yelled.
Hiei pushed away. "You feel that to?" Kimura asked. "Where the hell is it coming from?" Hiei yelled. Yusuke looked at them both. "Well they both sensed something.....you owe me five." He said turning to Kuwabara. Yusuke looked up. "Hiei!" Yusuke yelled. He pointed up to the ceiling where six demons were crawled. Kimura and Hiei ran through the crowd. Hiei! we have to get out of here before they start attacking other people." Kimura yelled. They both ran out of the doors into the school. "Where are we?" Hiei asked. "We had to go through the school way. Its was the closest exit. But now we are going to have to go around to the other end of the school to get outside." Kimura said running. They both heard the door slam open again. Kimura looked behind her, and even more demons were chasing them.
"You keep running, ill hold them back. You get to the exit!" Hiei yelled. He stopped, and Kimura hesitated, but still kept running. Kimura could hear slashing an moaning coming from behind her, and knew Hiei would be more than just alright on his own. Kimura got to the stairs that lead to the roof. She would take those stairs, and then climb down the ladder from the roof. Kimura opened the door and ran out onto the roof. A demon jumped in front of her, and Kimura jumped backwards. "Three circles......just like in my dream!" She summoned some ice shards, and chucked them, cutting the demon into many pieces. A demon from behind jumped on Kimura tackling her to the ground. Kimura struggled as the demon bound her wrists.
Kimura looked up and saw a man standing over her. He looked very familiar, and wore a leather jacket. The demon ran at the man, but he dodged, and threw a circular energy ball of blue mist hitting the demon. The demon froze in place, not moving one bit. He walked over to Kimura and untied her. He helped her up, and stood there examining her. "um......who are you?" Kimura asked. "We bumped into each other the other day.....my name is Ryu....." Ryu said hoping to get some kind of familiar expression. "...hello Ryu." Kimura said. Ryu fell over. "I work for Koenma. Im a spirit detective.....at the moment....im kinda helping you..." Ryu said. "...with out Koenma knowing." Ryu added. "Do you care to elaborate?" Kimura asked crossing her arms looking very suspicious. "Not exactly.....come one lets go." Ryu pulled Kimura by her arm, and walked over to the door leading back into the school.
Ryu Kimura and Hiei all met up about halfway down the hall. "Its you!" They both said. They both ran at each other, but stopped when Kimura yelled and then explained things to them. "What do we do now?" Kimura asked. "I say we go back to the dance....you did come here to have fun didn't you?" Ryu asked. "Well.....sorta..." Kimura said. "Is everyone alright?" Came a voice. Kurama stepped into the hall. "We're fine Kurama...this is Ryu...he is a spirit detective." Kimura said "Kurama?" Ryu asked. Ryu circled around Kurama examining him with a smirk. Kimura felt very confused. She saw an expression on Kurama's looking very serious, and a flash of anger was present in his eyes, but only for a split second. "Its nice to meet you Ryu." Kurama said through gridded teeth holding out his hand. Ryu took it. As they both shook each other's hands, they kept eye contact, never blinking. They finally broke away, and Kimura walked up to Kurama. "Kurama.....those demons...they have the circle on their foreheads..." "Just like in your dream?" Ryu asked. Kimura Looked at Ryu with amazement, and Kurama stepped foreword, wanting to say something, but stepped back. Ryu smiled.
They all headed back to the gym. "So what is it exactly that you are helping me with? And how do you know my dream?" Kimura asked Ryu. "its kind of hard to explain it had to do with those demons.....with the circles on there heads. They belong to guy in makia....he wants to capture you.....but you cannot tell Koenma.....or Hiei.....or anyone else." Ryu said. Kimura looked at Hiei who was drinking ome of the punch Yusuke was having fun with. "Why should I trust you?" Kimura asked. "you just.....just trust me." Ryu said. ".....ok.....but if anything suspicious goes on that has something to do with you, im telling." Kimura said. "Fine." Ryu said. "im leaving now.....bye." Ryu walked away and disappeared into the crowd. "......uh...but you didn't answer my second.....question....." Kimura walked over to Yusuke who was bright red and laughing pretty hard. "Uh...yusuke where is Hiei?" Kimura asked. "Hes outside being sick." Yusuke choked. ".....why?" he didn't know I put ogre killer in the drink." Yusuke said. "And what the hell is that!?" Kimura asked. "It's the strongest form of demon alcohol. Humans are immune, and it attracts demons....he couldn't get enough of it...oh my god its so funny!" Yusuke said falling over. Kimura ran outside.
Kimura ran over to Hiei who was on his knees, leaning his right hand against the wall, throwing up. "...Hiei...." Kimura said cautiously. Hiei finally stopped, and looked up. He stood up, wobbling, then backed up. He had a strange look on his face, like he was scared. He started to back up. He took two steps, then passed out. "Hiei!" Kimura said running over to him. She knelt down, and lifted him up, leaning his upper body against her.
Yusuke ran outside. "Yusuke you idiot! You knew this would happen!" Kimura yelled in aggravation. "I couldn't help my self. You actually think I would attend a dance otherwise?" Yusuke asked. "What ever.....just help me get him to my house.....i could tell my mom he wasn't feeling well, and his parents are off somewhere...." Kimura said. "Alright, alright..." Yusuke said lifting up Hiei's body.
"So idiotic.....so arrogant! You could have put other people in danger!" Kimura screamed at Yusuke putting a wet washcloth on Hiei's head. Yusuke was sitting the corner of Kimura's room trying so hard not to laugh. "Its not funny Yusuke!" Kimura said. "oooouuuu......stopyellin...." Hiei managed to say slurring his words. Yusuke fell over laughing. "Yusuke just...go home please...I don't need any more of your help tonight." Kimura said aggravated. Yusuke got up and left the room still sniggering.
"Hiei.....im so sorry." Kimura whispered. "for what?" Hiei said sitting up. "that was the best dance I ever went too.." Hiei said standing up. He imiediatly fell back down. "Woe..uh Hiei...I think you should just stay...on the bed." Kimura said helping Hiei up and walking him back over to the bed. "ok..." Hiei said still sluring his words. "Hiei you should really leave that icepack on your forehead." Kimura said. "I don't want to." Hiei said throwing it on the floor. "Alright....sure..have it your way....you kinda scare me when your drunk." Kimura said.
Kimura yawned. It was at least one in the morning, and Hiei still wouldn't go to sleep. Kimura yawned. "Go to sleep." Hiei said. "I cant...you aren't asleep yet, and that's my bed." Kimura said. "So then we could share it." Hiei said. "Your drunk.....you don't know what your saying....." Kimura said walking over and closing the door. Hiei got up out of bed, and grabbed Kimura by the arms. "C'mon...are you afraid?" Hiei asked pulling Kimura over to the bed. "Slightly ...." Kimura responded. "Just lay down Hiei." Kimura said pulling away.
Hiei grabbed Kimura's arms once more, pulling her over. "ow..hey Hiei...that kinda...hurts.." Kimura said getting uneasy. "Hiei, let go please." Kimura said. Hiei didn't listen. "Please Hiei...let go......let go!" Kimura pulled away, and punched him hard across the face. Hiei looked at Kimura in shock, then passed out onto the bed. Kimura looked down at her knuckles, which had Hiei's blood. She looked at Hiei. his nose was bleeding, and so was his lip. Kimura gasped.
Kimura ran over to Hiei, lifting him up so he wouldn't choke on his own blood. She pinched his nose so the blood wouldn't get all over the place, but it didn't seem to help. Hiei was coughing up his blood, and throwing up every so often. Finally after about an hour, Hiei stopped bleeding. Kimura laid him back down on the bed, avoiding the bloody and thrown up carpet spots. She carefully undid Hiei's shirt, and tossed it aside with his tie. Kimura was surprised. Kurama must have made him wear the boxers.
Kimura pulled Hiei up and rested his head on the pillow. After cleaning up a bit, she walked over and turned off the lights, leaving the room. Kimura changed out of her dress, and put a tank top and pajama pants on. She looked down at her arms, and noticed the bruise on each, looking exactly like a handprint. "If he squeezed any harder, he would have shattered my bones." Kimura said climbing onto the couch in the living room.
Kimura awoke to her mother saying goodbye, on her way to work at the office. "On a Sunday mom?" Kimura asked. Her mother shrugged. "ill be home around 5." "Alright mom....bye love you." Kimura said pulling the covers over her again. Her eyes shot wide opened. "Oh my god! Hiei!" Kimura rushed off the couch, and stopped in the kitchen, getting a glass of water. She ran upstairs and opened her door, finding Hiei lying on his back, his hand to his head. Kimura closed the door. "ow." Hiei said aggravated. "Sorry...." Kimura said walking over. "Here I brought you this." Kimura said handing Hiei some water. Hiei took the glass, and sipped the water. He quickly spit it back out into the cup. He grabbed his jaw,and adjusted it. The water Hiei spit out into the cup was now red.
Kimura made a disgruntled face. "Do you mind telling me what the hell this is all about?" Hiei said. He stuck his hand in his mouth, and pulled out a loose tooth. "...uuhhhhhh....don't...you remember?" Kimura asked with a cheesey smile. "no I don't reme....." Hiei looked down at her arms. "what the hell happened to you?" Hiei asked. "Oh.....um..." Kimura bent down and grabbed a sweatshirt, throwing it over her head. ".....why are there bruises on your arms?" Hiei asked. "Are you hungry, im hungry." Kimura said. She walked down the stairs to the kitchen, Hiei following right behind her.
"What happened last night?" Hiei asked. "nothing..its nothing..." Kimura said. Hiei stared at her. "It was just an accident." Kimura said looking down. "Who did this?" Hiei asked. "...you did....." Kimura said. Everything went silence.
"Let me see your arms." Hiei demanded. "No Hiei...im fine." "let me see your arms!" Hiei yelled causing Kimura to jump. She took off her sweatshirt, and Hiei grabbed her right hand, lifting her arm. He inspected the bruise. "im.....sorry." Hiei said. Kimura couldn't believe what she had just heard. Did he actually say the word.....sorry? Kimura never thought Hiei even knew the word.
"Kurama ...always told me Im violent when I get drunk...I'll kick Yusuke's ass." Hiei said. "How did you know it was Yusuke." Kimura asked. "That bastard showed me the stuff after I drank it.....now that I remembered......it's a shame for him that I did." Hiei said. "Im...sorry about your jaw Hiei." Kimura said. "Why what did you do?" Hiei asked. "Well you weren't letting go so...I kinda punched you...hard." Kimura said. Hiei smiled. "where are my clothes?" Hiei asked. "Im washing them. Kimura said. "Nice boxers."
"How is your hang over?" Kimura asked. "So is that what you ningens call this?" Hiei asked rubbing his head sitting down on the couch. "you want some food?" Kimura asked. "No...no food...." Hiei said holding his stomach. "Does your head still hurt?" Kimura asked. "I could hardly see strait, and talking is making me feel dizzy...I say so." Hiei said laying down. "We'll...my mom used to do something when I would suffer from my amnesia migraines." Kimura said. "Amnesia?" Hiei asked. "Yeah..i fell when I was little. I lost all my memory, but I luckly gained all or most of all my memories back...here let me show you. It makes the pain go away." Kimura said. "Sit up." Kimura said helping Hiei up. Hiei slowly sat up. "I want to lay down." Hiei said. "Trust me it will make you feel better." Kimura said.
Kimura placed her hands on both sides of Hiei's temples. She started to massage his temple clockwise. Hiei was about to protest, but it did make the pain go away, and it felt really good. "Lean your head back on the couch." Kimura said pulling his head back. Hiei closed his eyes. Before he knew it, he was drifting off into yet another sleep.
Kimura started to giggle. "Hiei.....your not supposed to fall asleep." Kimura paused. There was a knock at the back door. She ran to the door and opened it. "R.....Ryu?" Kimura asked. He stepped inside the house. "I need to talk to you." He said. "Kimura where did you put my.....clothes." Hiei stopped at the sight of Ryu. "Ok, well I could see you too are buisy at the moment, ill come back later." Ryu said. "Oh.....wait! Ryu its..not like that.....im washing his clothes they got all worn and stuff after the demons came last night." Kimura said turning red. "Right.....well.....ill come back later." Ryu said walking out the door.
"Your clothes are in the dryer Hiei....." Kimura said. Another knock came at the door. "Hi Kurama." Kimura said welcoming him in. "Is Hiei still here? Im very sorry I did not come back to the house with you last night.....i didn't know..... are you alright?" He asked Kimura. "Yeah im fine....." Kimura said. "Hiei is not exactly the greatest person to be around when he is drunk." Kurama said. Hiei walked into the room fully dressed. "Listen.....you guys.....talk or whatever.....but I have to go find someone." Kimura said slipping on her shoes. Hiei gave her a sideways glance. Kimura returned it. She closed the door, and walked toward town. "I hope he is here somewhere..." Kimura said looking around.
"Hiei.....im leaving for spirit world.....there are a few things I must address Koenma with.....i just hope Kimura will forgive me."
