----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The next morning Hiei came down groaning in pain.

"Hey there Hiei! how's it going?" Asked Kuwabara rather loudly, as he slapped him on the back.

"Kuwabara, if ever I wanted to kill someone more, this would be the time." Snarled Hiei. Hiei dragged his feet over to the table; he sat down in one of the wooden chairs and clutched his head in agony.

"Where is everyone?" asked Hiei, in a low voice.

"Oh, well Kurama and the girls went to the tree lot to buy a Christmas tree."

Meanwhile, at the tree lot, Keiko, Boton, Yukina and Kurama were standing by the car, while Shizuru was giving the tree salesman a serious tongue lashing.

"If you think anyone is going to buy one of these sad excuses for trees at these prices, you're out of your ever loving mind!"

Shouted Shizuru.

"Hey Kurama, what's your mother up to this year?"

Asked Boton.

"Oh well she's spending the holidays with my Grandparents." Said Kurama with a smile, happy for conversation.

"I hope that Shizuru hurries up and gets a tree, assuming of course that she doesn't get us thrown out again." Said Keiko as she watched Shizuru yell at the poor salesman.

"Yeah no kidding, after this there's only one other place other than this that hasn't." Said Kurama.

Just then Shizuru came up to the car in a huff.

"What's wrong Shizuru, where's the tree." Asked Keiko.

"Well…" replied Shizuru, "We can do way better than this place anyway." Said Shizuru with a guilty smile.

"Oh Shizuru, what have you done?" Demanded Boton, with both hands on her hips.

"Nothing I swear, if we leave now they won't call the cops." She said in as she hurried to get in the car.

Meanwhile, at the house, Yusuke and Kuwabara were setting up the Christmas lights outside and Hiei was sitting on the front porch as if he was just waiting for them to screw up some how.

"Okay Urameshi, just bring those lights over here and I'll hook'em up." Said Kuwabara. "Alright, here they come Kuwabara." Said Yusuke walking up the latter.

"I'm so glad we decided to do this while Yukina's gone, she doesn't like me messing with electronics." Said Kuwabara.

"I don't blame her, you're an idiot." Called Hiei, from the porch. "Quiet runt." Yelled Kuwabara.

Meanwhile, at the only tree lot left that they hadn't been kicked out of,

"This time let's let Kurama handle everything." Suggested Yukina.

"That's an excellent idea Yukina, all in favor say aye." Everyone raised their hand and said aye. "You don't mind, do you Shizuru?" asked Boton looking over her shoulder,

"Well I …." Said Shizuru just before being interrupted "Great!"

They picked out the tree, and were soon on their way home to decorate it, when they got there they saw Kuwabara and Yusuke still hard at work putting up their lights.

"Kazuma! What are you doing up there, you'll hurt yourself!" exclaimed Yukina,

"She's right Yusuke. what are you thinking, you've never done this before." Cried Keiko. "Will you relax? Nothing's going to happen."

"Well Okay, if you say so." Keiko was just about to go in, when she heard a scream, and a crash. She and Hiei looked up to see Kuwabara's butt had crashed through the roof of the porch.

"What I wouldn't give for something sharp and pointy!" Cried Hiei in desperation.

That night as they were setting up the tree, Boton was trying to control her urge to ask Hiei what he meant the other night, when he said he liked her and if he really meant it. "Oh well" thought Boton. "He's probably forgotten all about it." She made a quick glance at him; he was sitting in his usual spot, cleaning his Katana.

"Alright Kuwabara, are you sure you know what you're doing?" Asked Kurama as he handed him the lights for the tree.

"Of course I do, what do you take me for?" he said. Hiei got a strange look on his face, like he was tempted to say something.

"Please don't Hiei" Urged Yukina. Hiei remained silent.

"Alright everyone, ready to turn on the lights?" asked Kuwabara.

"YAY" they all cheered. All except Hiei that is.

"Okay on the count of three, ONE, TWO, THREE…!" Kuwabara plugged the tree in. Instead of lighting up the tree, Kuwabara was jolted with electricity; he then fell to the ground.

"Oh can't you do anything right, you moron?"

Hiei complained, walking over him towards the tree.

He twisted a little light bulb and soon everything was in working order.

"Okay that should do it!" said Hiei.

"Hiei, how did you know how to do that?" Asked Kurama suspiciously.

"Well when you're trapped in a world full of humans you can't kill, you learn a few things."

Later as everyone else was going upstairs to get ready for bed, Boton decided that she had to discuss what happened the day before or else she'd go mad.

"Hiei." She called as he was just about to head up the stairs.

"Yeah, what do you want?" He asked with a can't be bothered look on his face.

"I was just wondering…that is, I"

"You wanted to know what I meant when I said I liked you, right?" he asked

"Oh, I forgot you could tell what I was thinking. But yes if you don't mind?"

She looked up at him, almost afraid of what he was going to say next.

"Let me put it to you this way, does anyone in that condition really say or do what they mean?" He said before turning around and walking up the stairs. Poor Boton was heart broken. She had actually convinced herself she might actually be in love with him.

After she headed upstairs Kurama appeared from the other side of the kitchen door.

He was turning off the lights, and had heard everything. He felt so bad for Boton; he didn't have to read minds to know how she was feeling. Besides, liked her but didn't know how to tell her because he didn't want to lose her as a friend if things didn't work out.

The next morning, when Boton came down for breakfast, she heard a noise coming from the kitchen. It was kuwabara. He was yelling at the stove and spraying it with the fire extinguisher. Yukina was standing near the front door with her hands over her mouth.

"Is everything all right?" asked Boton, rushing down to see what was going on.

"Kazuma was fixing breakfast and accidentally started a fire." Said Yukina in an uneasy voice.

"Don't worry, everything is under control, I think." Reassured Kuwabara coming from the Kitchen with the fire extinguisher still in hand, and his cloths all covered in soot.

"Are you alright?" asked Boton as she and Yukina slowly walked towards him.

"Hey, it'll take more than a few small flames to hurt me, right babe?"

Hiei had heard kuwabara call his sister "Babe" just as he was coming down stairs. And it made his teeth grind. But what could he do? He couldn't tell Yukina that he was her brother. And because of that why would she listen to him?

"Don't tell me, let me guess! Hmmm" said Hiei as he looked at Kuwabara head to toe. "Kuwabara was trying to impress Yukina by being helpful and ended up making a complete fool of himself. Am I right?"

"I don't know why you're always putting Kazuma down; he's really a nice guy. I think you'd like him if you just gave him a chance." Said Yukina standing face to face with Hiei. Then she turned and walked over to Kuwabara, taking him by the hand. "Why don't we go pick something up for breakfast this morning?" She asked, smiling up at him.

Walking away Kuwabara turned his head and stuck his tongue out at Hiei. Hiei was absolutely speechless. Not because of Kuwabara's most recent show of immaturity, but because Yukina had never stood up to him that way before. Hiei quickly snapped out of it as soon as he heard someone coming downstairs.

"Morning Hiei Morning Boton" said Yusuke as he, Keiko and Kurama came downstairs.

"AAAAhhhhhh! Wha-wha-what the heck happened to my kitchen!?"

"Oh, well I can explain Yusuke; you see there was a tiny little itsy bitsy fire. No one was hurt though." Said Boton, trying not to make Yusuke any angrier.

"Not yet they're not! Just wait till my mom sees this mess! It wasn't you was it Boton?"

Boton shook her head intensely. "Oh no, no, no. Why would I do such a thing?"

"Yusuke try to be nice, it's Christmas and I'm sure it was an accident." Said Keiko coming from the kitchen with Pu in her arms.

"Well, I guess you're right, that's why I'll forgive whoever did this." Yusuke said quite decidedly.

"Oh Yusuke. I'm so proud of you!" said Keiko full of pride and admiration for Yusuke.

"How are you Boton?" asked Kurama from behind. Boton jumped slightly.

"Oh, you scared me." She said before replying. "I'm fine, thank you. How are you?"

"I'm fine, are you sure you're alright?"

Boton looked at Kurama as if he were a stranger. "Of course I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be?" she asked.

"Uh… no reason." He said trying to cover his tracks so that she wouldn't find out that he had accidentally overheard her conversation with Hiei. "I was just being considerate" said Kurama before walking away.

"Why couldn't I have fallen for a guy like him?" thought Boton to herself.

I don't have a clue about electric shock or how electricity works, I do however know how it feels, thats something I'm not about to forget. Anyway I hope you enjoyed it please review and tell me what you think.
