WARNING: Cheese.
A/N: Hey-o again peeps! Having fun? I wan to make lots of chapters before
I suddenly get into something else and neglect to write more. Nobody knows
me better than me, so I'm just warning. And I got accepted into a Charter
School which involves me doing homework over the SUMMER. What is up with
that? I have to do four book reports. MEEP!! Somebody wanted to know who
Sniper was. His name is really Hagiri Kaname, he can shoot small objects
like bullets. He almost killed Yusuke, then Hiei came along and stuck his
sword through Sniper's innards, but Sniper survived and stuff and Doctor
Kamiya healed him and such. YAY.

Hagiri's sister's cell phone shrilled loudly in the candlelit living room
that the three of his siblings had decided to all sleep in.
She found it acouple seconds later on the coffee table, pressing the
familiar "answer" button. "Hello?"
"Hey, it's me."
"Hagiri? Where are you?" she said, and the other two perked their ears.
"I'm at Shuiichi's house."
"Still?"
"Yeah, and I have to stay here the rest of the night." He sighed. "I'll
be back to make breakfast. Alright?"
She said nothing.
He sighed again. "Alright. I'll come home. I wonder if Shuiichi has an
umbrella?"
His sister bit her lip. "It's fine. I can handle things here."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. We'll be waiting. I love you."
"I love you too. Bye." And he hung up the phone.
"Is it fine?" Kurama asked, shifting his gaze to Touya, who had his eyes
closed, resting from the sudden pain he had just started to feel, but
talking to Hagiri.
"Yeah," He said, also looking at the Ice Prince, only differently.
Kurama smiled to himself. There was a whisper in his ear, that made him
shiver from the warm air traveling down his neck. "What was that smile
there for...?"
The fox smiled again and pulled Hiei into his lap. "Did you see the looks
they gave eachother...?"
Hiei nodded thoughtfully.
Yusuke and Keiko had left after Kurama was done patching up the Spirit
Detective's arm, much to Yusuke's dismay, who didn't want to leave his friends
alone with the Sniper and Ice Prince.
In their private conversation, it was Kurama's turn to whisper down Hiei's
neck. "Do you think that Touya...?"
"It would be a miracle," Hiei said gruffly, and Touya and Sniper turned their
heads to look at him.
"What would be?" Sniper asked, eyeing him.
Kurama, sweatdropping, looked at Hiei. "Um...uh...if it ever stopped raining
tonight..." He quietly laughed, nervous and blushing a little bit, Hiei nodding
in agreement.
"I know what they said," Touya said, staring at Kurama, who's hair felt like
it would stand on end. "But I'm not volunteering any information."
Suddenly, something rushed through Sniper's mind. "Before I...um...brought you
here, you had said my name, my real name. How do you know it?"
Touya looked down at his feet and said nothing.
Kurama and Hiei exchanged glances, Touya's head snapping up and shooting them
glares. Had it been Hiei's decision, he would have decapitated him then and there,
but he wouldn't fight someone who's injured. Aside from that, he would have the
advantage with his fire, and Sniper would shoot him many times with his dice. So,
Hiei glared back.
"Now now, glaring contests won't answer any questions," Kurama said. "Why are you
here in the world of humans, Touya?"
"And why were you injured?" Sniper asked him.
Touya sighed heavilly, looking to Hagiri with his icey stare. "I came here to
see...someone, and Reishyo didn't want me to come, so I had to fight my way out.
Satisfied?"
"Well, that 'someone' you came to see must be someone really important." Kurama
volunteered.
Touya's eyes widened at Kurama's knowing tone. Sniper looked at Kurama and
cocked his head. "Anyway...um...well, Jin helped me out, and I'm worried about
him."
"Knowing Jin?" Kurama said. "He'll be fine. He's probably bouncing around,
giggling maniacally. Did you find who you were looking for?"
Touya glanced back and forth between Sniper and Kurama. He nodded.
"Does that mean you're going back!?" Hagiri asked quite suddenly.
Everybody stared at him.
He cleared his throat. "I mean...because they might hurt you again..."
He decided to stop trying to save himself.
"I can't go back," Touya said, looking to the roof. "Not now that I've gotten
here and seen who I wanted to see. I can't just leave them now."
There was silence, and Kurama delibrately yawned, making it seem like he was
tired and needed sleep. "Well, you two, I guess you'll have to share the sofa
bed. Hagiri, do you know how to pull it out?"
Sniper nodded, and Kurama tugged Hiei into their bedroom, closing the door
behind them.
"You're not tired, fox," Hiei said.
"I know, but it's so OBVIOUS," Kurama said, pulling Hiei onto the mattress
with him. "It's apparent Touya came here to see Hagiri, and Reishyo didn't want
him to be...like that, so he tried to kill him. Then Jin came along and helped
Touya because he wanted him to be happy and such."
"You really like having things your way," Hiei noted.
"So true, so true," Kurama nodded, satisfied with his story.
"Either way, that's it in a nutshell. Oi, you're pretty good!" came a voice
from the ceiling.
Hiei whipped up another fire in the palm of his hand, directing it's light to
where a familiar horned Wind Master hung upside down from the ceiling. He smiled,
a large toothy grin and floated down onto the bed. "This Sniper guy had better
feel the same for Touya, or else I'll kick his--"
"Calm, Jin," Kurama said. "That's why Hagiri was here. He came to me for advice
on what to do about his love for his 'Ice Prince'. Then Touya came, will barely
look at Hagiri, came here, the first word of his lips, 'Hagiri'. He said he came
to see someone, said he saw that someone, but won't tell us who it is. It's obvious."
Jin leaned over and whispered in Hiei's ear. "He really does like putting the
facts his way, doesn't he?"
Hiei nodded. Jin giggled, as if that was the funniest thing he'd ever heard.
The Wind Master bounced around the dimly lit room, from roof, to bed, to hanging
lamp from dresser.
"Bouncing around and giggling maniacally. You were also right about that, fox."
Hiei volunteered, watching as Jin jumped onto the bed again.
"You're bed is very bouncy and you're pillows are fluffy n' puffy!" Jin said
excitedly. He jumped until he almost touched the roof, then went down on his
butt. "It's fun, you should try it sometime, hm?"
Before he could flitz away, Jin pulled Hiei up on the bed by his tiny hand, who
gripped Kurama's hand with clinging strength. Kurama laughed and let go so Hiei was
standing next to the jumping Jin, unbalanced.
Hiei fell on his butt onto the bed at one of Jin's jumps and glared as he was
continuously bounced up and down. Kurama laughed until his face grew red as Hiei
pouted and crossed his arms.
"C'mon Hiei!" Jin said with his toothy grin. "Lighten up!"
"I will not," Hiei said firmly, jumping off the bed.
Jin sat in the air, crossing his arms. "You're no fun."
"I know," Hiei said, and sat down on the rug.
Kurama gave Jin a sly smile, and swiped Hiei off his feet, tossing him onto the bed
just like all those months ago, that night when he proposed his love to the fox. This
time, he didn't get tangled in the bedsheets, but he was fuming. Kurama grabbed one
of his hands, Jin, the other, and they jumped, the springs creaking. The two lighter
ones laughed as Hiei frowned deeply, unintentionally jumping with them so as not to
lose his balance and slip off.
Out in the living room, lightning and thunder could still be heard, but above that
was the giggling of Kurama and Jin, though Jin was unknown to Touya and Sniper. The
two were actually lying down on the sofa, one on each end. Touya faced away from
Hagiri, who was staring at the back of the Ice Prince's blue head. Hagiri sighed and
thought, What are they DOING in there?
Focusing on the back of Touya's head, he noticed that Touya had turned over. Now,
they were staring deep into eachother's eyes.
"I came here to see you," came Touya's quiet voice.
Jin's ear twitched. "Shh!"
They stopped jumping immediately, and Hiei, hair ruffled a bit, got down and sat,
this time not letting his guard down.
Jin pressed his ear curiously to the door. "Wow..."
"Wow what?" Kurama asked, excited.
"Touya spoke first," Jin smiled. "Surprising..."
Hiei looked up at him, Kurama also pressing his ear to the door. Hiei snorted at
them. "Snoopy..."
"SHH!!" Kurama said.
Hiei shook his head. Ridiculous.

Hieica: Mooooooooooooo... what do you people think about Touya and Sniper being
together? You know what else I noticed about this? Mukuro doesn't call for Hiei,
and Hiei never goes there. I'm not even sure if Reishyo is alive or not. I forgot,
and I'm too lazy to check. Anyway--
Swissy: R & R!! Also, people who like Touya and Sniper as a couple, can you please
review Cool Touch? We've noticed Poetry Format looks more like a story than Story
Format. Hm. Wierd.
