Melting a Heart of Ice

Chapter 3

Natalie gulped. "W-what are you guys gonna do to me?"

Boton, Keiko, and Yukina smiled evilly. Keiko picked up a hair brush from the sink. "Well first we're gonna brush that nest you call hair," Boton said.

Natalie sighed, and sat down. "Fine, make it quick."

Yukina took her blue hair dryer from the cabinet and advanced towards her. Keiko brushed a lock of her blonde hair, and Yukina turned on the hair dryer…..

::outside the bathroom, with the guys::

Kurama had just sat down on the comfy blue couch in the living room, when he heard an earsplitting scream.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! What the fuck is that thing?!" Natalie screamed.

"Relax! It's just a hair dryer!" Boton screamed back. "Oh. What the hell does that mean?!" Natalie asked. Boton rolled her eyes, and Yukina giggled. "Humans use it to dry their hair. So calm down, it's not a weapon!" Yukina answered calmly.

Outside, Kurama Yusuke, and Kuwabara burst out laughing, while Hiei merely grinned.

"Who knew little miss bad ass would be afraid of a simple ningen device," he said.

Kurama was the first to stop laughing. "You shouldn't talk Hiei," he said slyly. "Yeah! Have you forgotten the time you broke my TV, and you started screaming 'I must kill the possessed talking box!'" Yusuke choked out before he burst out laughing again.

Hiei turned a faint shade of pink. "Yusuke you baka! You said you wouldn't tell anyone!"

This just caused him and Kuwabara to laugh harder. Kurama saw the deadly look in Hiei's eyes, and quickly changed the subject.

"So Hiei, what happened in the fight between you and Natalie?" Hiei sent him a quick look of gratitude. "I hate to admit it, but that blonde haired bitch is a decent fighter." Hiei said.

"Really? Tell us about it," Kurama asked. Yusuke and Kuwabara nodded vigorously.

"Hn. Fine."

::Flash Back::

Hiei and Natalie stepped out into the sunshine and faced each other. "Okay shrimp girl, what are the rules for this fight?" Hiei asked her.

Natalie was examining the edge of her sword. The tip glinted red as she slowly ran her finger over the sharp point. She brought her finger to her lips and licked the blood away. She looked at the surprised Hiei and smiled slyly. "First to draw blood loses."

Hiei smirked at her and took a fighting stance. "Works for me. Just don't think I'm gonna go easy one you because you're a girl!" he said, unsheathing his katana.

Natalie also took a fighting stance. "I don't expect you to." she held her sword above her head and flittered off. Hiei looked around, expecting her to attack him from the side.

"Looking for me?" a voice said from above him. Natalie was floating I mid air, sitting Indian style. Hiei's eyebrows rose, but were hidden by his white bandana. 'That's impressive. I wonder what kind off demon sh-' He didn't get to finish his thought. Natalie

thrust her blade down, and Hiei barely dodged. He swung his sword upward, but she did a back flip and landed on the ground. Hiei flittered over to her, and knocked her sword out of her hands. She gasped and sent him a dirty look. Hiei smirked at her and tried to look innocent. Natalie punched him below the eye, and sent him stumbling back a few steps. As he regained his balance, Natalie retrieved her sword. Hiei glared at her, and she glared back. In a flash of light their katana's met in mid air. They both swung with all their might, each trying to over power the other.

Natalie did another back flip, and met Hiei's blade as she turned around. They both thrust their swords forward one last time. This would be how it ended; whoever was the stronger fighter would win. Hiei was pushing her blade to the left, when Natalie loosened her grip and allowed him to over power her. She lifted her leg and kicked him in the side of the head. Hiei's sword fell to the ground a few feet away, giving Natalie enough time to push him to the ground, with her sword at his neck. She used the tip of the weapon and scratched a small cut on his open chest, causing him to bleed.

Hiei cursed under his breath and followed Natalie back inside the temple.

::End Flashback::

Yusuke and Kuwabara's jaws dropped as Hiei finished telling them of their fight. "Man, I'd hate to meet her in a dark ally!" Yusuke said laughing. "Maybe if she was a little cuter, I'd consider dating her…"

"Yusuke! What about Keiko! I thought you were going out with her!" Kurama asked, surprised at his friend. Yusuke blushed a little. "Every time I try to ask her out, she finds a reason to smack me!"

"Why am I not surprised by this?" Kurama muttered. Yusuke lifted him off the couch by his collar.

"What do you mean by that fox boy?!" he yelled. "What he's saying is you always act like a complete idiot when you're around her. You piss her off there for she smacks you!" Hiei concluded. "Thank you Hiei." Kurama said, trying to dislodge his white t-shirt from Yusuke's grip.

Yusuke dropped Kurama and stomped over to Hiei. "Shut up Hiei! You've never had a girl in your life! And you're just jealous cause I have a better chance than you do!" he huffed.

"Why would I want a girl friend?" Hiei countered. "I have no need or desire to love some one. Even if I did, it wouldn't be some stupid ningen girl!"

"Why you little shrimp!"

"WOULD EVERYONE STOP CALLING ME SHRIMP?!" Hiei screamed angrily.

Kuwabara started to laugh. "You think this is funny Kuwabaka?! One day, I am gonna cut your empty orange haired head off!" "Come now Hiei, just because Kuwabara's intelligence level is low, that doesn't mean you need to resort to violence."

The boys turned to see had spoken. Boton, Keiko, and Yukina all stood in front of the bathroom, all looking extremely pleased with themselves. "Now that we have your attention, let us introduce you to the new, and improved Natalie!" they stepped aside revealing a very pissed off youkai.

Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama's jaws dropped. Natalie stood before them wearing long black pants that hung loose on her hips, and a red spaghetti strap tank top that revealed her mid drift. Her long blonde hair shone gold and her sapphire blue eyes sparkled in the light.

'My god she looks hot in that shirt!' Yusuke thought as a stared the girl up and down.

'She is may be pretty, but not as much as my darling Yukina!' Kuwabara thought, trying to hard not to stray from her face.

'She looks pretty cute! Don't you agree, Hiei?' Kurama sent a telepathic message to Hiei.

'Hn.' he responded looking away from her.

"You look great Natalie!" Kurama finally said, breaking the silence.

" Hn" she answered. 'She sounds just like Hiei!' Kurama thought, smiling inwardly. "Well now that that's done, how bout we have some lunch while we wait for Koenma's decision?" Yukina suggested. They all nodded and followed her to the kitchen.

"What should we eat?" Yukina asked them.

"How bout pizza?" Kurama said

"Great idea!" Boton smiled at him. He smiled back "Thanks". Yusuke picked up the phone and dialed the number. "Hello? Speedy pizzeria? Yeah, I'd like 2 large pizzas, one plain one pepperoni. Yeah, uh huh, bye." as he hung up the phone they heard a ring at the front door.

"Damn! That was quick!" He ran out of the room and soon came back with two boxes.

Everyone took a piece except Hiei and Natalie. "Futs hong? You foo hont van tame?" Kuwabara asked them, his mouth full with two pieces of pizza. Hiei shook his head. "I don't eat ningen food." Natalie said looking away from him. "How bout you have some sweet snow, Hiei?" Kurama suggested. Hiei looked up and grinned slightly. He went to the freezer and took out a carton of strawberry ice cream. He sat down, two spoons in his hands, and started shoveling it into his mouth. Kurama sweat dropped.

"Why don't you offer some to Natalie?" he asked. Hiei glared at him. "Fine. You want some sweet snow? No? Oh well!" and with that said, he continued eating. Kurama sighed and rolled his eyes. He grabbed one of Hiei's spoons, scooped up some ice cream and handed it to Natalie.

"Try it! It's really good!" he urged. She stared at him, and gradually took the spoon.

They all stopped eating to watch her, as she tried her first human food. She slowly licked the pink substance, and her eyes lit up. " Mmmmmmmmmmmm!! This is good!" she reached out to grab the carton of ice cream, but Hiei pulled it away.

"I don't think so," he said.

She pulled it a little towards her. "Well I do! Hand it over!"

Hiei pulled it back. "No way!"

Boton, who was sitting between them, sweat dropped.

"Uh, Boton? Your in the line of fire, I suggest you move before you hurt you self," Kurama suggested. "Good Idea…" she mumbled. She got up from her seat and went to sit next to Keiko. A pulling match started between the too hungry Youkai.

"It's mine! Let go!"

"No fucking way! It's mine! Hand it over now!"

"Not on your life bitch!"

"What did you call me?!"

"You heard me! Now give me the damn sweet snow!"

Hiei gasped as Natalie lunged at him, knocking over her chair. "This isn't good.." Kurama whispered to Yusuke. "We better get out of here before some one gets hurt!" Yusuke said standing up. The others followed him out of the kitchen.

At the moment, Natalie had her hands around Hiei's throat, and was attempting to strangle him. With much effort, Hiei managed to kick her off of him, and was ducking behind the other side of the table.

"You cant hide from me Hiei!" she yelled tossing a china plate at him. He ducked it and threw a cup at her. They continued this, throwing numerous objects at each other. Broken glass, pizza crust, and napkins littered the floor.

"Oh no!" Yukina cried out. "Genkai is gonna kill me! Look at the mess their making!" Kuwabara stepped forward. "Don't worry Yukina! I the great Kazuma Kuwabara will stop them!" he stepped past his friends, and cautiously walked onto the battle ground.

Natalie and Hiei were glaring at each other, both about to hurl a fork at the other. Kuwabara stepped between them, and picked up the carton of sweet snow. "Will you to cut it out?!" he screamed. "How bout you just share the ice cream?" he asked them.

"It's called sweet snow, and I am not gonna share because it is MINE!!" Hiei yelled, reaching out for the sugary treat. Natalie did the same. Kuwabara held it high above his head, and laughed as the two short demons tried, but couldn't reach the ice cream.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You two midgets are too short to reach it!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"He's a dead man." Yusuke and Kurama said in usion.

Both Natalie and Hiei's face's turned red. At the same moment they both jumped up and slammed their fists down onto Kuwabara's head. The ice cream went flying, and Kuwabara fell to the ground, two very large bumps on his head. Hiei caught the ice cream just before it hit the ground. A rare smile graced his lips as he finally got back his treat.

He peered inside and let out a ear piercing scream. Natalie ran to his side…

"IT'S MELTED!!!!!" they hollered. They faced each other. "YOU!! IT'S YUR FAULT IT MELTED!!!!" they pointed to each other.

"Thanks a lot Blondie! If you had just left me alone, it wouldn't be like strawberry soup!!" Hiei said angrily, sending her an evil look. "Oh shut up Hiei, if you had shared with me, this wouldn't have happened!" she said, glaring at him. He glared back. She glared back. They were inches away. Still glaring. Not flinching at all.

"Ok, give it a rest you two!" Yusuke said, pushing Natalie out of the kitchen. "Come on Hiei, we're gonna hang out in the living room," Kurama said, pushing him after Yusuke.

"Hn."

Hiei took his usual spot, sitting in the window sill, while they others occupied them selves sitting on the couch, and in chairs. " Well," Boton said, taking a seat next to Kurama, "All we can do now is wait for Koenma to arrive." they all nodded, and sat back, relaxing.

::10 minutes later::

Yusuke yawned, and stretched out his arms. "Okay! This is getting reeeeeaaaallllllyyy boring! Let's do something!!!"

"Like what?" Keiko asked, twirling a strand of brown hair around her finger.

"How bout a game?" Kurama suggested, also twirling his hair around his finger.

"I know!!!!" Yusuke shouted, causing them all to jump. "Let's play truth or dare!"

"I LOVE TRUTH OR DARE!" Kuwabara said, regaing consciousnesses. "That sounds like fun!" Yukina said happily.

"Yes, lets play truth or dare" Kurama agreed. "Hey Natalie, are you gonna play?" Keiko asked her. Natalie blew a strand of blonde hair out of her face. "Fine, haven't got anything else to do"

"What about you Hiei? Will you play with us?" Kurama yelled over to him.

"Hn"

"I'll take that as a no…" Kurama said sadly. Boton had an evil gleam in her eye. "Kurama" she whispered. "I think I know how to get him to play!" Kurama shrugged as the blue haired ferry girl skipped over to the solitary Jaganshi.

"Oh Hiei!" she chirped. "What?" he snarled. "I think it would be in your best interest to play with us" Hiei's eyebrows rose.

"Oh really? And why is that?"

Boton brought her voice down to a whisper. "Wouldn't it be horrible if somebody accidentally let it slip, that you are Yukina's long lost brother?" Hiei glared at her.

"You wouldn't dare."

"Wouldn't I? I've heard that some people think I have a big mouth!"

"Now what could have possibly given them that idea?" Hiei said sarcastically.

Boton frowned at him. "Look, unless you want your sister to know that she has someone as mean as you a brother, then I suggest you play with us!" Hiei glared at her, sending shivers up her spine. "You are evil, Boton." he muttered, as he walked towards the others. Boton sighed in relief, knowing today wasn't the day her head would be cut off.

"Yatta! Hiei is playing!" Yukina said happily, pulling Hiei over to where she was sitting.

"How did you do it, Boton?" Kurama asked her. She gave him a sly smile. "A lil thing I like to call black mail!" she winked at him. 'Ooh, she's good!' he thought silently.

"Ok! Who's going first?" Keiko asked. "Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I will!!" Boton said raising her hand.

"Hmmmmmmm. Who should I pick?" she wondered as she looked over her friends. Her gaze stopped at Yusuke. "Yusuke! Truth or dare!?"

"Dare!" he answered bravely. Boton got another evil gleam in her eyes.
