Chapter 6: The Party
Hiei stayed where he was on the coach for a few minutes longer. The party that they had planned wouldn't be until 6:30. So that gave him less than two hours to prepare for it. Of course he could always just lock the door and not let them in. But then the Fab Dorks would just find another way in or Kurama would pick the lock. And he couldn't really leave the apartment, or else Yusuke would do something stupid to it. So Hiei was stuck.
Hiei heard someone shuffling their feet on the floor. He opened his eyes and crocked his head to the side to see cameraman #4. He had forgotten about him. He gave a small smirk to him. The cameraman started to sweat. Then the camera showed static. Hiei calmly walked back into his bedroom.
Just as he reached the bedroom, the front door flew open with a loud BANG!
"I can't believe that I forgot!" Carson's voice was heard from the door and the sound of footsteps quickly coming closer to Hiei was then heard. Then, Hiei's room was filled with five gay men once again and a new cameraman. Cameraman #5. Hiei briefly wondered where they got all these cameramen while Carson pulled him into the walk in closet.
"What are you all doing?! I thought that you all left me alone already!" Hiei yelled while Carson took some clothes off the racks.
Carson didn't seem to hear him for he was muttering under his breath angrily. "I can't believe that I forgot! That is soo not like me. And this of all things!"
"What are you talking about?!" Hiei yelled at the blond man and smacked the clothes that were in his hands to get his attention. Today was just not his day.
Carson just blinked in surprise. It was like he forgot that Hiei had been standing there the whole time. "I forgot that you had to model for us."
"Nani?!"
"Are you guys almost done in there? We want to see a show!" a voice called out from the bedroom.
"Yeah! Come on! Model for us!"
Someone blew a shrill whistle in suggestion.
Hiei felt his eye twitch. "I told you before. I'm not modeling for you."
"Yes you will," Carson said with determination. "You didn't get to before but you will now!"
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Hiei Jaganeshi, you are going to model for us whether you like to or not!" Not wanting to go through with what happened in the store earlier; Carson took a shirt from the rack and tried to forcefully put it on Hiei.
But Hiei would not let Carson make him put on that shirt without a fight. So while the shirt was just above his head, he raised his arms in an attempt to stop it. But Carson would not be swayed and he put more force in bringing down the shirt down Hiei's head. Hiei had to admit that he was quite strong for a human. He did manage to bring the shirt down Hiei's head, were it was stuck. And I mean literally stuck.
Hiei pulled at the shirt upwards. It didn't move. Carson pushed the shirt downwards, it still didn't more. Hiei pulled and Carson pushed. The scene did not look right. And the shirt still did not move either way.
"What size shirt is this?" Hiei growled. It was funny how the neck hole of a shirt could be stuck on a person's head. Even funnier was how it was stuck where Hiei's eyes was.
"Extra, extra, extra small," Carson replied. "Maybe I should have gotten something a little bigger."
"Maybe you should have!" Hiei yelled angrily.
"Well it's a good thing that that's the only shirt I bought in that size," Carson said brightly.
"What's taking so long?" another person called from the bedroom.
"Yeah. Come out and model!"
"Model! Model! Model!" they all chanted.
"You heard them. They want a show," Carson said smugly.
Hiei snarled in frustration and ripped the shirt apart so he was free from it. Carson stared at him in wonderment and was very impressed. He was kind of attractive to him now. Oblivious to Carson's new found crush, Hiei took him by the shirt, dragged him out of the closet to the bedroom where the others were, who groaned in sadness of not having to see a fashion show, (and quite surprisingly to them, for Hiei is such a small guy) Hiei carried them all like bunch of hay stacks over his shoulders, and threw them out one by one out the apartment door. He didn't toss them out none too gently either.
Then Hiei slammed the door shut on all of them.
"Think he wanted to be alone?" he heard one of them say from the other side of the door.
Hiei let out another frustrated growl. He was stressed out. He decided to take a bath like Kyan had suggested. It sounded good now. Hiei walked into the bath and turned on the water on the tub. As the water was filling up, Hiei stripped off his shirt. When he was about to take off his pants as well, he sensed someone behind him. He turned around and saw cameraman #5.
How could he always forget about him? Or the other cameramen? Hiei sighed in frustration once more.
Outside in the apartment hall, an elder woman was tiredly walking back to her apartment after a long hard day. Suddenly, a man holding a camera was thrown right in front in her feet.
"Hot dog!" she said energetically. She grabbed the man and hugged him tight. "I knew that all that praying would get me a man who'd bow down to me."
In the apartment, Hiei was relaxing in the tub, thinking about the bear in the living room.
------- an hour and a half later -------
BANG! BANG!
"Hiei! Open up!" Yusuke's voice could be heard from outside the door.
"Yusuke, be more patient. We've only just got here," Kurama said holding a potted plant.
"But you know how long Hiei takes to answer the door. We'll be here all night!" Kuwabara whined. "For all of his speed, shorty takes years to open the door."
Kurama just sighed. The three of them wanted to go to Hiei's housing warming party ahead of the girls because they wanted to "clean" the place. Just as a precaution for if something had happened to the humans. They didn't want the girls to see blood on the floor.
"Open the door!" Yusuke yelled one more time before Hiei opened the door and letting Kuwabara fall to the floor inside the apartment because he was leaning on the door.
"Baka," Hiei greeted them and went farther in the apartment.
"Ow," Kuwabara said picking himself up from the floor but Yusuke just walked on him before he could fully get up. Kurama, taking pity on Kuwabara, helped him up. As they went inside Hiei's house, they all stopped dead in their tracks. Much like Hiei did before.
"Wow," Kuwabara said.
"It's not white," Yusuke said. Then he jumped up and yelled, "IT'S NOT WHITE! AND IT'S FILLED TOO!!"
"Very nice Hiei," Kurama said and put down the plant on the table. He went over to the rocking chair and sat down. "This is very good workmanship. I think I'm jealous of you right now."
Hiei smirked proudly. He liked the rocking chair too. It reminded him of his tree.
"No way!" Kuwabara exclaimed. "Shorty has a huge flat screen TV!" he turned on the TV to look at its digitally enhanced images. "And it's got digital cable with over 900 channels! And a DVD and tape player and includes a Play Station system, a CD player, a Gamecube, and these other cool things!"
"Have you seen the bedroom?!" Yusuke said running out of it. "It's so cool! I want the Fad Five to come to my house!"
"Me too!" Kuwabara nodded in agreement.
Kurama was just fingering the rocking chair in admiration. A plan formulating in his head.
"Do you guys smell that?" Yusuke asked. He sniffed the air. "It makes good."
Kuwabara also sniffed the air. "Yeah. Real good."
"Hiei, are you making us food?" Kurama asked.
Hiei shrugged. "So what if I am?"
Yusuke's and Kuwabara's jaws hit the floor. "You are?! Seriously?!"
"It's only a snack," Hiei muttered. But inside he was pleased. He just had to wait until the food was ready.
"Are you feeling alright?" Yusuke asked and felt Hiei's forehead.
Hiei smacked it away. "I'm fine."
"So, you're grateful?" Yusuke grinned victoriously. "Come out and say it. I know that you want to thank me for this great plan of mine."
Hiei glared and went into his bedroom. "Not in your life."
"You're welcome Hiei!" Yusuke called after him.
By the window, Kurama threw out some seeds and watched them slowly grow.
Then the door bell rang. Yusuke decided to get it since the resident of the apartment was in his bedroom. On the other side of the door were the Fad Five and cameraman #6. (AN: Yay! The cameraman number finally caught up with the chapter number.)
"So, how do you guys like the place?" Thom asked once they all were in the living room.
"You did an excellent job," Yusuke said.
"See, I told you that they'd like it Jai," Thom said.
But Jai didn't respond.
"Jai?" Thom asked. But Jai was looking at the corner where a nervous Kurama was standing.
The rest of the Fab Five stared at Kurama as well. Kurama smiled at them nervously. He saw hungry looks in their eyes. He swore that one of them was panting in heat. He took a step back. The Fab Five took three big steps forward. He took another step back and his back hit the wall. The Fab Five took another three large steps forward. There were only four more steps between them. Kurama looked pleadingly at Yusuke and Kuwabara. But they were too busy looking at Hiei's cool looking new apartment to notice what was happening with him. Kurama whimpered in fear.
Fortunately for Kurama, Hiei decided to come out of his bedroom. The Fab Five gasped in shock and admiration at Hiei's outfit. They all ran towards him, but Jai lingered where he was for a few moments. He winked at Kurama, he eyes promising Kurama that they will get to know each very well later. Kurama wanted to jump out of the window and run to his mother.
"Look at you Hiei. All nicely dressed up. And not a black thread on you," Yusuke said to Hiei.
Hiei was wearing a light blue polo shirt with dark jeans. On his forehead was his customarily head band that covered his Jagan Eye.
Ted whistled at him. "You look hot."
"Indeed he does," Kyan said.
"Doesn't he?" Carson said and stepped proudly besides Hiei. He put an arm around Hiei, but Hiei snarled at him. So Carson quickly took his arm away.
"Wow Hiei. You look really good," Yusuke said. "You feel grateful to me now?"
"No," Hiei said.
The door bell rang, and again Yusuke went to get it.
"It's show time," Ted said.
At the door was Keiko. In her hands was a big pot. "I hope that I'm not late."
"No, you're just on time," Yusuke gave her a smile and let her in.
"Your apartment looks really nice Hiei," Keiko said. "I brought this with me for your party. Its roast beef stew."
"Alright! We'll have a feast tonight!" Yusuke yelled. Keiko's roast beef stew was famous.
As Keiko and the Fab Five were introducing themselves to each other, Kuwabara found something interesting sitting at the corner of one of the couches. He picked it up and grinned evilly.
"Hey everybody! Look at what I got! Hiei's got a stuff bear!"
"What? No way!" Yusuke went to him and examine the bear. "Haha! Hiei has a stuff bear! What are you? A little girl? The big bad Hiei has a stuffed animal! And it's a little cute one at that. HAHAH! "
"That bear is for Hiei's someone special," Jai said.
"Oh reeeally," Yusuke slyly said. "No wonder it says "I love you" on a heart."
Hiei snatched the bear away from Yusuke who only laughed hysterically. Hiei blushed. "Oh look, little Hiei's blushing! Hi I'm Hiei and I'm in loooove," Yusuke said in a high pitched voice.
Hiei blushed once more in anger and chased Yusuke all around the apartment.
"AAHHH!"
"DIE YUSUKE!"
Keiko, having no idea who Hiei likes, thought that Hiei must like someone who is coming to the party tonight. Since it obviously wasn't her, or else Hiei would have given her the bear by now, it had to be either Yukina, Shizuru, or Botan. (AN: Remember, she doesn't know that Yukina is his sister.) Keiko deducted that it must be Yukina since Hiei was the nicest to her the most. It couldn't be Botan because he often calls her "baka onna" and neither Shizuru because Kurama was courting her. So that just left Yukina.
Keiko thought it sweet that Hiei had a crush on Yukina. They would look cute together. They were the same height, both demons, had the same eye color, and looked oddly alike. The Keiko idly wondered if they were related. Cousins maybe? They couldn't be brother and sister because Yukina was an ice demon and Hiei was fire.
While Keiko was wondering about Hiei and Yukina's relationship or future relationship, Kurama was busy trying to run away from Jai. What was even more distressing for him was that Kyan decided to join the chase after Kurama as well.
"Hot Asian guy! My name's Kyan. I'm 28 years old (AN: Making this up.), I live in New York, and I could style hair!" Kyan called out to Kurama as they went around the apartment for the fifth time. Kurama doing everything he can to get rid of them politely.
"That's really nice to know but-"
"I know that I'm a little older than you, but I think that we could work something out," Jai said.
"Please if you would let me-" Kurama tired explaining, but was cut off by Kyan.
"Hot Asian guy! I'm cute! You should really hook up with me!"
"No! He should hook up with me!" Jia yelled to his friend/rival. They were getting closer and closer to Kurama. Kurama really, really wanted his mother right now.
"You don't even know his name!"
"Neither do you!"
"Yes I do! It's... it's...."
"Oh great. I got fan boys who don't even know my name," Kurama muttered to himself as he kept running away from them.
"Hot Asian guy! What's your name?" Kyan asked.
"I bet its something cool like Aikido," Jai said.
"What kind of name is Aikido?"
The doorbell rang again. This time, it was Kuwabara who answered it since Yusuke was being chased by Hiei, Kurama by Kyan and Jai, and Keiko was talking politely to Thom and Ted. Carson was just taking pictures of everything going around him and cameraman #6 was filming.
"Yukina my love!" Kuwabara said enthusiastically. With Yukina were Shizuru and Genkai. Each had their own pot of food in their hands. "Let me get that for you, my sweet angel." Kuwabara took the small pot from Yukina.
"And what about us?" Shizuru muttered. She rolled her eyes at her brother.
"You look so beautiful tonight, Yukina," Kuwabara told Yukina as he se the pot down. Shizuru and Genkai did the same.
At this time, Hiei saw Kuwabara flirting with Yukina. His blood started to boil at the mere sight of Kuwabara talking sweetly to Yukina. He stopped chasing Yusuke and stalked to where Kuwabara was. On his way, he shoved the bear into Shizuru's hands and was about to punch Kuwabara when Carson, Ted, and Thom intercepted him.
"Oh look, Hiei's jealous," Ted said. "Isn't that cute?"
"Yeah, won't let anyone go between this lovely young woman and him," Carson said.
"Kuwabara, why don't you stop flirting with her? Hiei is in love with her," Ted said.
"Hiei? In love with Yukina?" Kuwabara said. Then he started to get mad. "You leave my Yukina alone! She's too innocent and pure for the likes of you!"
"You baka ningen! I should kill you!" Hiei sneered. He reached to get his katana, but then he realized that he left it in the bedroom. Kuwabara was lucky. He'll just have to kill the oaf with his bare hands then.
Yukina didn't think that Hiei loving her was weird. After all, they were siblings. She loved Hiei too.
"No, no, no. Hiei is not in love with your Yukina," Thom said. "Hiei is in love her." He pointed to Shizuru.
Shizuru looked at him perplexed. "What? Me?"
"Are you sure?" Carson asked.
"Yes. Hiei gave her the bear, not Yukina," Thom reasoned.
"That makes sense," Ted commented.
"Looks like Hiei likes you," Keiko told Shizuru. "And I thought he liked Yukina."
"I don't think that Hiei likes me," Shizuru said.
"Oh? What makes you think that?"
"Just a feeling."
"I going out to smoke. Too many crazy people in here," Genkai announced.
"Are you going back downstairs just to smoke?" Keiko asked confused.
"No. To the balcony," and she went out to the balcony.
"Hiei has a balcony?" Kuwabara asked confused.
"You see, if the bear represents love and Hiei gave it Shizuru, then means that Hiei loves Shizuru," Thom explained.
"I see," Kurama said. He suddenly appeared behind Thom. His mouth twitched. To his sides were Jai and Kyan, trying to get his attention and still trying to learn his name. Kurama looked at Hiei for an explanation.
"I don't love your woman," Hiei said.
"I know. But Yusuke's singing is driving me insane."
Hiei looked behind Kurama and saw Yusuke going in circles singing, "Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru. Hiei loves Shizuru."
Kurama's eyes became golden and he lunged himself at Yusuke. "SHUT UP!!"
"Eep!" Yusuke started to run for his life again. "AAAHHHH!" Yusuke screamed like a little girl.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU AND CHOP YOU TO LITTLE PIECES AND THEN FEED MY PLANTS!" Kurama yelled.
"And that's my man," Shizuru took a huge gulp of her beer.
"You're man?" Jai and Kyan said as one and began to cry.
The doorbell rang again. Kyan perked up at the sound of it. "Maybe it's another hot Asian guy!"
Kuwabara went to get it again. "Hi. Sorry that we're late," a feminine voice was heard at the door.
"It's okay. Even though you're the last ones to get here," Kuwabara said.
The rest of the Fab Five's heads went up and looked to see who was at the door. This had to be the person Hiei was in love with. Going into the living was first a brown haired teenager with a pacifier in his mouth and then Kuwabara and a beautiful blue haired young woman in a pink kimono. The Fab Five stared at the blue haired young woman. Kyan's eyes sparkled.
"What's your name?" he asked.
Botan blinked at him. "Botan. What's yours?"
Kyan blushed. "Kyan."
"So your name is Botan, huh?" Ted said looking up and down at Botan.
"You're very pretty," Carson said.
"Um, thank you," Botan said awkwardly. Who were these people? she wondered. Could they all know Hiei? I didn't think that he was that social.
"I have an announcement to make!" Kyan called out, getting the attention of the rest of the people in the room. "From now on, I Kyan Douglas am now straight."
"What!?"
"Are you serious?!"
"You're joking right!?" all came out from the Fab Five.
"And," Kyan continued. "I am in love with Botan." He put an arm around Botan.
"WHAT?!" This time it came out from everyone.
And then the fire alarm went on.
