Because of lack of creativity, the next chapter is for you guys and not this one.

Chapter 3: Try something new with a twitch

Yukina (the sister) – Hiei is his own individual. He doesn't let anyone tell him how to look. It's something to admire.

Shuichi (the best friend) – He's apartment is too... white.

Botan (the friend) – Hiei doesn't really need to change he's appearance. He looks cute the way he is. Wait, I didn't say that. I didn't say that Hiei is cute. He isn't going to see this, right?

Kuwabara (the friend?) – He likes to sleep in TREES!

Shuichi – Perhaps some plants would make the apartment seem livelier. Especially ones that resemble trees.

Botan – Really, is he going to see this or not? Because I did not say that Hiei is cute.

Kuwabara – Style? Shorty wears black all the time. And he likes to sleep in TREES!

Yusuke (the friend) – Hiei needs a life. He doesn't really do anything unless he's working. Or when he gets pissed. If he does and you're the reason why, good luck with the rest of your few seconds of life.

Botan – Can someone please tell me if Hiei is going to see this?

Keiko (the friend) – In all honesty, I don't really speak with Hiei all that much. But I've never seen him in anything but black and a blue shirt.

Shuichi – Perhaps some color in his wardrobe would bright some light into his life. Black is just too depressing.

Kuwabara – Trees I tell you! TREES!

Botan – Why won't anyone tell me if Hiei is going to see this?!

Yusuke – Does Yukina know that we labeled her as his sister? Take out sister and put friend! She's not supposed to know that Hiei is her brother!

Yukina – Hiei is actually my twin brother. I think that I was born first.

---------- in the car with Hiei, Thom and Ted ----------

"You know, you're the youngest straight guy that we ever had to fix," Thom said while he was driving.

Fix? Hiei twitched but said nothing and continued to look out the window.

"You are also the first client that doesn't live in America," Ted added.

Hiei still said nothing.

"So what do you think of our Japanese? We're pretty good, ne?" Ted kept talking. "Jai had us practice it for a little over a year just for this purpose. He also made us practice French so we just about know three languages now. I hope that we don't have to learn another soon. I'm still trying to get down French."

"Hn. Any Japanese born person could tell that you're an America just by the way you speak," Hiei said in perfect English.

"So he does talk!" Thom said in mock surprise. "I didn't know that you could speak English. And so perfect too. Why didn't you tell us? What other languages do you speak?"

Hiei didn't say anything.

"Is our accent really that noticeable?" Ted asked.

Still nothing.

"Heeelllooo. Anybody in that head of yours?" Ted said and began to poke him.

Poke.

Poke.

Poke.

Poke.

Poke.

"What do you want?!" Hiei snapped.

"I just want to know what's in your mind," Ted said innocently.

Hiei thought for a bit. A picture of the five men being eaten by a black dragon filled his mind. Then an image of two young men, one with black hair and the other with orange, were being cut to pieces with a sword. In the background was a (coughs) tall (coughs) black haired, crimson eyes, demon laughing like a maniac at the suffering of the men. Hiei smiled at his thoughts.

"See! I told you that he would like the idea of having a bright, magenta living room," he heard Thom exclaimed happily.

"Nani?" Hiei asked.

"Well, we were talking about what color to pain your living room. Ted here wanted to paint it yellow with orange kitties on it. But I that a bright, vivid, magenta would look lovely," Thom explained.

Orange kitties? Hiei's right eye twitched. That reminded him too much of the baka. And magenta?

"I will not have my house look like a cat market nor will I have it pink," he said.

"But kitties are cute," Ted said.

"And it's not pink. Its magenta," Thom said disappointed that another person mistook magenta for pink again.

"Hn."

"We're here!" Ted said and then quickly got out of the car when it stopped.

Hiei got out of the car and his eye started to twitch again when he saw the sign. It was red in a heart shape and it read, "Candy's Furniture." He looked at the display window and saw pink and red love seats, baby blue sofas, and wooden chairs with heart designs on them. His eye continued to twitch as Thom dragged him into the store where he saw more bright and colorful sofas and chairs and many of them with heart designs. But Thom dragged him towards the back of the store where the sofas weren't as bright and looked actually almost decent looking to Hiei.

"So, how do you like the store so far?" Thom asked excitedly.

"It's too bright," Hiei said.

"I just knew that you would love it!"

"Fool."

"What was that?"

Hiei just stared at him like he was stupid.

"Okay, the reason that I brought you here, is not to look at the couches. Unless you think their pretty and cute as I do."

"Never would I think that they are cute," cute coming out as if it was disgusting to say.

"Aww, but they are cute," Ted pouted.

"Anyway, I brought you here to see the coffee tables and those low tables that traditional Japanese people use to eat on," Thom said and pointed towards what he was talking about.

Hiei stared at them and pointed at a coffee table and a low table. "That one and that one. I like those. Now let's go."

"Hold it!" Thom grabbed Hiei's arm when he started to walk back out. "That's it? You chose two tables in five seconds flat and you're not even going to look at the others? You're going to be living with these furniture for like the rest of your life and you're not even going to look at the rest of the selections?! We're designing you're house, the place that you will live in for a very long time, not some painting that you could always throw away."

"Let go of me," Ted did but went in front of Hiei to block his way out. "I don't really care for this kind of stuff. So move or be moved."

Ted glared be did so anyway. Hiei walked back to entrance and out the door. Thom walked at a slower pace than Hiei and said, "Maybe you should have brought him to the other place first."

"Well we're going there now," Ted said. They got out, into the car where Hiei was waiting, and drove out. When they got to they're next destination, Hiei's cold but somewhat bored expression gave a hint of interest. "Hiei, welcome to the furniture store, Gothic."

"Hey Hiei-kun! How was furniture shopping?" Carson asked happily as Hiei walked towards him at a slow, lazy pace. They were outside a huge store and big, wide windows of clothes of all designs.

"Hn. It was too long," he replied.

"Well, it should have been. With what you're white apartment looks like. Seriously, how can you even sleep in a place as empty as a store after a huge clearance sale?"

"Hn."

What was wrong with his apartment? Hiei actually kind of liked his place the way it was. It suited him just fine. But he would never tell anyone that. The emptiness of his place signified that he needed no one because it lacked the necessities that other beings would require to live comfortably. And if he ever felt like he had too much of the Ningen world, he would just simply gather his few belongings and leave. Done in less than 3 minutes and the apartment wouldn't have a trace that someone even lived there.

So the place was perfect for a person just like him. But trees were still so much better than the apartment.

"Well, let's quit standing out here like a pair of lunatics," Carson said merrily and went inside the store.

"You're the lunatic," Hiei mumbled under his breathe which the other didn't hear and followed suit.

Inside, Carson jogged throughout the store while saying, "Come on. We don't have a time of to shop and I really want to talk to you about your clothes. This way."

Hiei followed behind. This pace bored him. He could run this pace during his sleep! He turned his head to the side and saw the cameraman following closely behind. Darn. And he thought that he lost him after he left the other two. After he left the other two, he threw a rock at the camera causing the cameraman to use his grip on the camera. Hiei used the few moments of the distraction to quickly get away. He started jumping on roofs and then started to walk in a slow pace to his next destination confident that the cameraman was out of his hair. Too bad for him that another cameraman was already waiting for him with Carson when he got there. Maybe next he'll use more force. We'll call this cameraman with Carson, cameraman #2.

"Here we are!" Carson announced in a sing song voice when they finally stopped.

Hiei saw clothes. Lots of clothes. He never saw so many clothes in his life. Carson grabbed him by the arm and dragged him forward and began explaining things to him about what's in, how to wear it, and what not to wear. Hiei just block Carson's voice out of his head. Did the guy ever shut up?

"Ohh! This is so cute! And this one too!" Carson exclaimed. "Look at this one!" Carson ran to the other side of the store and picked up a shirt. "So cute. I'm so loving it. What do you think Hiei? Does this make me look fat?"

"Yes," Hiei said blankly.

"What?! It does?! But it looks so cute."

"Then buy it."

"But you said that it made me look fat."

"Then it makes you look skinny."

"How skinny?"

Hiei's eye started to twitch again. "Like a freaking stick! Are you going to buy the stupid shirt or not?!"

Carson pressed his lips together and narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking really hard. Then he pressed the shirt up against Hiei's body. "What do you think? Does it make you look fat?"

Hiei's eye twitched faster.

Minutes later, they were in the dressing rooms with a pile of clothes nearby.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I said so."

"But it's fun."

"I don't care."

"Come on. Try something new. Put this on and model for me."

Twitch.

"It's pink."

"And such a pretty shade of pink too."

"No," Hiei's eye twitched even faster.

"Put the shirt on."

"No."

"How about these pants?"

"Still pink."

"Yes it is. Wanna wear it?"

"No."

"How about this?" Carson brought up a baby blue shirt with a big teddy bear at the back.

"No."

Twitch. Twitch.

"This?" a baggy shirt that said 'I love guys.'

"NO!"

"I think that it's cute."

"Then you buy it!" and the other eye twitches as well.

"If you wear this shirt and matching pants!" Carson held up a bright yellow shirt with XOXO prints on it and green jeans.

Twitch. Twitch. Twitch.

"No!"

"Wear it!"

"No!"

Oh the twitching of the eyes!

"I said wear it!"

"And I said NO!"

"You know, you are starting to piss me off."

"And you are wearing my patience thin, you baka."

"What did you call me?"

"Baka. It means stupid, stupid."

"If this is the way you're gong to be then fine!" Carson threw the clothes he was holding to the floor and slapped Hiei. Hiei looked at Carson in shock and then very, very angrily.

"No one," he took a step forward. "No one ever slaps me," he lunged himself at the taller man and they both went down on the ground in the heap of clothes. When Hiei opened his eyes, for he had closed them when he and Carson fell forward, he saw Carson's mischievous eyes.

"Why Hiei, if you wanted me that badly, all you had to do was ask," Carson said flirtatiously and winked.

Hiei froze when he felt something warm wrap around him. He quickly got up and stood as far away for the other man as he could. If looks could kill, Carson would be dead a 100 times over. Carson got up slowly because he was laughing like a manic. When he finally was able to stand, Hiei punch him hard, causing him to fall in a dead faint once again. Then Hiei turned his attention to cameraman #2 who was backing away slowly from the demon. Hiei used his speed to go behind the guy and knock him out as well.

Then Hiei turned his back and walked calmly out. That felt good. Too bad that he couldn't kill them though. That would have felt even better. Hiei shiver at the memory of what just happened moments before in disgust. He needed a long shower and fresh clothes. And he needed to burn the ones he was currently wearing. His eyes twitched once more before he left the store.

---------- at Hiei's apartment ----------

"Hmm... The pink one or the orange one?" Thom said thoughtfully out loud to himself, looking down at the paint colors on the floor.

He chose a color and started painting to whole apartment. Then the doorbell rang and Thom went immediately to the door.

"Oh good! The furniture is here!"

Men started to bring in the furniture into the freshly painted apartment while Thom directed on where they should go and checked out their butts. When the men left, Thom looked happily at the living room. "These furniture are so cute! Well, better start painting the bedroom before the new bed and shelves arrive!"

In his hands was a bucket of bright pink paint and a scroll of wallpaper with Japanese characters of hugs and kisses.
