The night seemed a bit darker than usual, and a strange energy seemed to float through the air. Only a small amount of light was being given off by the slit of a crescent moon that floated in the sky. There even seemed to be a absence of stars for the night, only a few of those tiny twinkling lights dotted the sky. But the strangest thing yet to come of the night was a swirling mass of glowing pinkness forming itself in the sky.
The mass seemed to be taking the form of a cloud. The origin of the cloud seemed to escape form an open window of a modest, yet elegant little house.
In the darkness of a room lit only by a few candles, a figure of shadow was stirring. Pink fumes were lifting from a container that contained a glowing pink liquid. A pair of hands lifted the bottle. And even hidden in the obscurity of the shadows one could tell a smile was sweeping across the persons face.
"Oh, I nearly forgot." Said the person, obviously female raked her hand through her hair a couple of times. She then wrapped a thin strand of hair around her finger and tugged it. She looked at the strand of hair and another obscured smile crossed the girls face.
In the weak light of the candle, the hair flashed silver for a moment. The girl admired the sliver strand before dropping it into the opened container of pink liquid. The liquid began to glow even brighter.
The figure chanted some strange words. Causing even more of the pink fumes to glow in the air, until the room was very dimly lit in a weak iridescent, pink light. The flames of the candles suffocated and died away in the fog, so the as the fumes went and joined to rest of the mass the room was let in complete darkness.
It girl lifted bottle of pink liquid, with now had one forth less of the contents. "Well if I'm gonna make sure this is gonna work I'm gonna need a test subject. And I know just who it will be." Another smile crossed the girls face. The cloud began to move and vanished off into the distance.
In the stillness of the warm, yet strongly dark night Hiei had made his home in a comfortable tree for the night. He was resting rather peacefully on a strong branch of the tree, considering. His hands were placed behind his head, and one of his legs hung from the branch.
The small pink cloud hovered through the sky, moving as if it had a life of it's own. The pink tint to it at that time of night was strange enough in and of itself. But the fact that it moved of it's own volition, well that was cause for worry. This was defiantly no ordinary cloud.
The clouds destination seemed to be the very spot where Hiei was comfortably resting. It floated under the canopy of leaves and stopped moving, and just hung over Hiei's head for a moment, as if it was thinking. It wasn't long after it had situated, itself over Hiei, that it began to shower Hiei with rain.
To say the least Hiei was quite startled by the sudden downpour. Awakening to the feeling of being drowned. Hiei instinctively waved his hand in front of his face, too disorintated to do otherwise. Hiei opened his eyes but still couldn't escape the feeling that he was being suffocated. Hiei tried to move to escape the sudden downpour but only ended up losing his balance and falling form the tree.
Hiei sat upright and looked up to the branch he'd just been in. He noticed the little pink cloud was drifting downward toward him still raining. The could stopped moving when it hung a couple of feet over Hiei's head. The rain seemed to be falling more lightly now. Not that it made Hiei any happier.
Hiei's face bore a brooding hateful scowl as he was still getting rained on. He folded his hands over his chest and looked at the pink cloud. He stood and moved over till he wasn't under the cloud. For less than a second Hiei was rain free but the cloud quickly followed Hiei's example. Hiei reached at his side and unsheathed his Katana. With a speed that would make lighting envious Hiei, cut into the cloud splitting it into two clouds, doubling his aforementioned dilemma.
Instead of having one annoying cloud hovering over him, Hiei now had two, making him even wetter.
"What is this?" Growled Hiei, very annoyed by the strange clouds. In an attempt to escape the clouds, Hiei used his phenomenal speed. He vanished from the point where the clouds were and reappeared behind a tree, a small ways away from the clouds. He peeked his head around the tree. The clouds looked as if they were confused and searching for Hiei.
Hiei gave a very quiet arrogent little chuckle. He turned away from the clouds, and hide himself behind the tree again. When Hiei ducked out again the clouds were gone. Hiei's smirk became a bit wider, as a feeling of triumph washed over him. That is until he began to feel raindrops pitter pattering on his head and trickling down his face.
Hiei let out a low growl, and folded his arms over his chest again. "Hn." Said Hiei angry that he wasn't able to escape from the clouds. After a few minutes of Hiei standing up feeling pissed, mumbling curses, and being rained on the rain stopped. Hiei looked up at the sky and saw the clouds just disappear.
Feeling to confused to try and sleep, and secretly fearing another encounter with the rain cloud Hiei let for Kurama's house. It didn't take him long to get there, he was still soaking wet as he made his way up the tree that had a branch that lead to Kurama's window. Hiei tapped at the window until Kurama opened it, and the very aggravated and soggy fire demon went inside.
"Hiei?" Said Kurama in a rather surprised tone. As he looked at his soaking wet friend. Kurama looked out the window and even took in a deep breath to see if he could smell rain. But everything was clear. He looked back at Hiei, "What happened to you Hiei?" Said Kurama eyeing Hiei and wondering how he'd gotten so wet.
"I was attacked by a rain cloud."
"What?" Said Kurama turning around sharply confusion showing in his eyes.
"I was resting and these pink clouds …" Hiei stopping seeing the blank stare on Kurama's face. "Hn, forget it fox." Said Hiei as he folded his arms over his chest. Kurama awoke from his stupor, when he noticed the annoyance in Hiei's face.
"I'm sorry Hiei." Said Kurama having retrieved and towel for Hiei, and giving it to him. "It just seems a bit farfetched that it rained on just you."
"Yes, well it seems a bit strange that you still smell, as badly as you did earlier." Snapped Hiei angry that Kurama didn't believe him.
Kurama ran his hand through his hair. It was true, he still smelled like a science experiment gone wrong. The scent had dissipated some but not enough for him not to notice the stench. Some how it still hung heavy in the air about him even though he'd bathed for nearly two hours to rid himself of the scent.
"Yes well…" Said Kurama at a lose for words, so he just changed the subject. "You seem alright albeit a little wet but you'll dry." He walked to his closet and pulled out some extra pillows and blankets, which he started keeping just in case. He laid them out on the floor then began rummaging about in his drawers.
"What are you doing." Asked Hiei, having dried himself as much as he could. He put the towel around his neck.
"You're all wet Hiei. I'm getting you some dry clothes to wear so you won't catch a cold."
"Hiei looked at Kurama, "Have you forgotten I'm no weak ningen, I don't catch cold."
"Yes, well, better safe than sorry I suppose." Said Kurama placing some dry clothes into Hiei's hand. "You know where the bathroom is." Said Kurama showing Hiei to the door. "And try to be quiet, everyone is sleeping."
"Hn." Said Hiei quietly before creeping away to the bathroom.
"Attacked by pink clouds?" Said Kurama still a bit confused as he laid out the blankets onto the floor. Kurama looked down in satisfaction at the little pallet he'd laid out for Hiei.
"I take it I'll be sleeping here tonight." Said Hiei from the doorway of Kurama's room, as he looked down at the blankets on the floor. Kurama turned to his friend and smiled. Hiei was pushing the sleeves of the nightshirt that Kurama gave him so that he could see his hands. Then Hiei looked down at where his feet should have been but they had been swallowed by the too long pants he was wearing. Hiei gave Kurama one of those you know this isn't right looks.
"Well at least you'll be safe from attacking rain clouds." said Kurama as Hiei slid under a blanket.
"Hn."
The night passed quickly, and gave rise to a lovely clear bright sunny day the perfect do to go for walks or just hang out outside. Kurama, Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara met as they had planned and were now waiting for the fifth member to make it complete.
"I don't see why I have to be here. I don't trust the onna."
"Because" Said Kurama, "I know that you sensed her energy. She's no ordinary girl."
"That's for sure." Said Yusuke with and evil grin, doing the hourglass curves gesture in the hour. "She's a babe."
"Actually, Yusuke I was referring more to the fact that she could have the potentail to become quite powerful with some training."
"What makes you so sure she doesn't already know how to utilize her powers fox." Said Hiei.
"Well that is possible."
"Well she doesn't seem like she'd be much a threat." Said Yusuke confidently.
"Hey as long as he isn't causing trouble there's nothing to worry about right. I mean she seems really nice to me."
"Things are rarely ever that simple Kuwabara." Said Kurama. "Whether Delilah's good, or bad." Said Kurama looking at Hiei. "It's probably best that we keep an eye on her."
"No problem." Said Yusuke, "In fact I'd be happy to keep both eyes on her." Yusuke gave a little laugh.
"Well don't look too hard you might burn a hole through me." Said Delilah as she walked up behind the boys. Looking at Hiei, with great interest. Well looking at the back of Hiei with great interest since he wasn't facing her.
"Oh hello, Delilah. Sorry I didn't notice you." Said Kurama turning to Delilah.
"Oh no Problem. Hello Boys." Delilah waved at Yusuke and Kuwabara they both nodded hello. "Hello Hiei." Said Delilah making her voice low sweet and salutry. She smiled innocently.
When Delilah's voice drifted into Hiei's ears a strange feeling seemed to shot through. Senses knolled and only Delilah rushed through his head. He turned and looked at her and for some reason she went from detestable to the most enchanting creature he'd ever laid eyes upon. Hiei shook his head trying to dispel the feeling but it wouldn't leave him alone. Hiei's will to fight the emotion wasn't strong enough and his body came more relaxed and a goofy little smile crossed his face.
"Hello Delilah." said Hiei with an honest to goodness bashful smile on his face.
Delilah smiled. "So. How are you guys?" Inquired Delilah addressing the rest of the boys, but keeping a watchful and flirtatious eye on Hiei.
"Fine, now that you're here." cooed Hiei, in a most uncharacteristically sweet way.
Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara each gave Hiei a look of surprise which he brushed off.
"That's nice to hear." Delilah responded smiling at Hiei. "SO shall we go? I want to see everything this city got to offer." Hiei gave a sharp smile and held out his arm for Delilah and she latched herself onto him.
"Okay did anyone else find that totally weird." Asked Kuwabara looking wide eyed at Hiei walking off with Delilah, in a more than chummy way.
Yusuke rubbed his eyes and stared with his mouth agape. "Please tell me I'm seeing things."
"I would but, you aren't." Said Kurama,
"What was he saying about not trusting her?" asked Yusuke.
"Maybe that's just the little freaks way of saying he liked her." Said Kuwabara scratching his head.
"I don't know, but somehow I don't think so." Said Kurama.
"Come On you guys you're lagging behind. Delilah shouted to the surprised Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama.
"Maybe there is something about her we shouldn't trust you guys." Said Kuwabara sounding a bit afraid "I just got a chill."

Who: Okay so now you know Delilah's a little bit evil. I'd apologize for the out of charaterness but I kinda need it.
Hiei: What did you do to me onna
Who: (innocently) Nothing.
Hiei: I think I'll be taking your hands as trophies now. Although I'd rather have your head. (violently grabs Who and throws her into a chair. ) Now you die.
Kuwabara: Hey shrimp don't you know you shouldn't hurt girls. Especially ones that are weaker than you.
Who: Don't help me Kuwabara.
