I'm really sorry I couldn't update for a while I was trying to get over my writers block. Any way's you all know I don't own this show or any of the characters right, good.

WARNING: Hiei does get out of Character a lot, but at this magical time of year, wouldn't anyone get a little out of character?

----------------------------------------------------------

Later that day, after everything was cleaned up and sorted out between Yusuke and Kuwabara, everyone decided to spend Christmas Eve singing Christmas Carols, and (you guessed it) drinking eggnog.

"Hey Hiei, why is it that you get drunk on eggnog?" asked Shizuru.

"I'm not quite sure. All I know is that it happens to every member of my family." said Hiei who was drinking Cocoa.

"Now that's what I call a happy family at Christmas." sighed Yusuke's mother as she relaxed into the big chair near the fire place.

"Hey Yusuke! Don't forget to let the cat out." yelled Yusuke's mother.

"We don't have a cat!" yelled Yusuke replying to his mother's request.

"Are you arguing with your mother on Christmas Eve?" asked Keiko in surprise.

"But we really don't have a cat, I swear we don't!" exclaimed Yusuke.

"Of coarse you don't have a cat, Urameshi. You don't have enough class." boasted Kuwabara.

"Well if we don't have a cat I'd like to know who I've been feeding all this time." Yusuke's mother pondered.

"I don't know!" he said insistently.

"Well you'd better find out." ordered Yusuke's mother. "Meanwhile I think I'll head off to bed. Good night everyone." she said as she kissed Yusuke on the head and passed by him.

"MOM! What do you think you're doing kissing me in front of everyone like that?" Yusuke protested.

"Oh shut up you brat." she called as she headed up the stairs.

"Well, I think your mom has the right idea, I think I'll go to bed too," yawned Keiko.

Everyone else agreed.

"How can you all be that way?" asked Kuwabara in shock.

"How can we be what way, Kazuma?"asked Yukina.

"Duh, it's Christmas Eve!"

Everyone just stared blankly.

"How can you sleep knowing that tomorrow's Christmas? Come on Yusuke you said you still believed in Santa, so you gotta be excited," said Kuwabara turning to Yusuke, who by this time was pretty embarrassed.

"Oh Yusuke that's so sweet!" said Boton in adoration.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of Yusuke, I believe in Santa. Even Hiei believes in Santa.

Don't you Hiei?" Kurama said as he lightly jabbed Hiei.

"Well I have caught a glimpse once or twice," he said admittedly.

"You have, and you never told me? Why did you never tell me?" exclaimed Kuwabara grabbing on to Hiei's shoulders.

"You have precisely five seconds to let me go! Five, four, three… Santa's watching, don't make me hurt you… two." Before Hiei could reach one, Kuwabara released him.

"Well, what are you all waiting for, move, move, move, time's running fast! And by the way, Hiei, I wasn't afraid of you, I just don't want to get coal in my stocking," he said before running up the stairs so he could start the long sleepless night of joy and anticipation.

Later that night,

"Hiei?" whispered a voice trying to wake him. Hiei!" whispered the voice again, only a little louder this time.

"Go away Kuwabara, I'm telling the truth, I don't have any pictures of Santa. Now go back to bed!" said Hiei, trying not to lose his temper.

"It's not Kuwabara, it's me, Kurama." he whispered a bit annoyed.

Hiei sat up, and rubbed his tired eyes.

"What do you want?" he demanded.

"Shhhh! I wanted to ask you something,"whispered Kurama.

"Can't it wait till tomorrow?" sighed Hiei.

"No, this is important!" implored Kurama.

"…Fine, what is it? you know that red headed idiot is gonna wake us up at the crack of dawn."

"Yes, I know but this can't wait. do you have feelings for Boton?"

"What? Kurama I think you need some sleep, well, good-night buddy." He said with a yawn turning out the light.

"Hiei I'm serious, do you have feelings for Boton?" he asked again, this time a bit louder.

"Okay, okay! I guess I do have a few touchy feely, mushy, feelings for her, but I can't help it." He said as if admitting to a crime.

"Yes you can Hiei, you can tell her how you truly feel," he said

"NO, I can't!" he instated.

"Why not Hiei?" asked Kurama, in a confused tone.

"Because, I know how you feel about her, and I can't do that to you, you're my best friend Kurama." Confessed Hiei, guiltily.

"But, Hiei I want you to be together with Boton, you two would be so happy." He said with a smile on his face. "besides she doesn't love me."

He said as his smile turned to a somber frown.

"I'm sorry Kurama" said Hiei feeling even worse than before.

"That's alright just promise me you'll tell her soon. Here, I have something for you to give to her tomorrow." He said handing him a small package.

"You'd do this for me? but I don't deserve this, I don't even deserve such a good friend." Said Hiei who was touched be Kurama's sweet sentiment that he could hardly speak.

"Sure you do, everyone deserves at least one good friend in this world." He said holding back his tears.

He was happy to make his childhood friend so happy, but he still couldn't help but feel a little sad too, after all he was giving up someone he loved so that someone else he loved could be happy.

"Good-night Hiei, don't let the bed bugs bite." said Kurama as he got up to leave the room.

"Not to worry, I sent them all to Kuwabara's room." he replied to lighten the mood.

They both smiled at that thought but for slightly different reasons. "Hey Kurama, thanks for all you've done, no one could ask for a better Christmas present." said Hiei with sincerity.

The next morning Kuwabara did in fact wake up at the crack of dawn, and ran through the house in and out of every room, waking every one up.

"Wake up, it's Christmas!" He called all through the house. Everyone was up and exchanging gifts to one another Yusuke gave Keiko a new purse, and Keiko gave Yusuke a watch, so he'd make it to class on time.

"Oh I'm gonna deck his halls for sure." Hiei said stomping down the stairs. "Kuwabara I'm gonna…." He stopped just as Kuwabara turned to give him a present. "For me? But why? I've been so mean to you." He said in amazement.

"Awe, don't worry Hiei. 'Tis the season after all." He said as he walked over to give Yukina a present, he gave her a white silver charm bracelet which she just adored and she gave him a bike helmet.

"Well, I don't ride a bike, but I love it anyway." said Kuwabara who was very pleased with his gift.

"Hiei told me about you and your being prone to head trauma. said Yukina sweetly

Meanwhile Hiei was contemplating whether or not to open his present. He put the present on the floor and took out his sword and gently cut the ribbon, he emediently jumped backwards, (probably expecting an explosion of some kind) he slowly began to unwrap the rest of the present, to Hiei's surprise it was a leather sword sheath, and not just any sword sheath, it was the same sword sheath that he was looking at down-town. Just then he felt someone tapping at his shoulder, he turned to see that it was Boton who had wanted his attention.

"Yeah? what is it Boton?" asked Hiei a little happy to see her.

"Well, I just wanted to give you something," just as she held out the present, Hiei got a strange look on his face, as if he had just remembered something important, he quickly ran back to his room, and at his usually high speed. When he returned (A split second later.) he handed Boton her gift.

"Here, this is for you."

Boton took her present and handed him his present, Kurama watched from the opposite side of the room, Boton's eye's lit up immediately as she saw that her gift was a beautiful golden locket and when she opened it up there was a picture of Hiei inside.

"Oh, Hiei it's beautiful, I especially love the picture inside." she exclaimed with joy, as she hugged him tightly. "Open your present; I'm dying to see if you like it."

He unwrapped the gift, it was a black and blue knitted sweater.

"Try it on Hiei, I made it myself. Oh, and read the card too." she said in excitement.

Hiei put the sweater on, it was a little big but nicely made. He decided to read the card, and what he read just then made him feel as if he was going to cry, the next thing he knew he was hugging Boton and telling her how he felt.

"Boton I'm sorry for being such a jerk, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings like that, and I really do like you." He said full of the Christmas spirit.

"Alright now who wants to sing Christmas carols." shouted Shizuru.

They all agreed and gathered around the piano, just before they started singing Keiko noticed that Hiei and Boton were standing underneath the mistletoe.

"Humph, they'll never do it. Hiei's too…" just before Kuwabara could finish his sentence Hiei Kissed Boton. at seeing that, Kuwabara's eyes became wider and his jaw dropped to the floor, as did everyone else's, that is all except Kurama who was sitting at the piano, smiling.

"That reminds me Kurama." said Shizuru "this is for you." She gave him a brightly colored vase that she had made in pottery class.

"I hope you like it, I made it myself." She said just before giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Then Kurama smiled and said, "Maybe this won't be such a lonely Christmas after all."

Then everyone began to sing silent night and lived happily ever after…..

"Oh wait, wait you can't just end it like that, at least let me plug in the tree." Said Kuwabara.

"NO!!!" everyone shouted in horror. Just then all the electricity went out, so they lit candles.

"Oh well, it'll be daylight in a couple of hours." Said Hiei. they all looked at him in shock, they had expected something a bit more threatening instead he just said,

"What are you all looking at me for, I'm on vacation.

This time for sure,

The End!

And a Merry Christmas

From me and the Yu-yu Hakusho gang.
