"Close your eyes, Hiei," came Kurama's voice from the hall. "Why?" Hiei asked. "Just do it," Kurama's voice answered. Sighing, Hiei closed his eyes. "All of them, Hiei," Kurama said sternly. "Hn," Hiei said, but closed his Jagan also.
When Hiei heard quiet gasps coming from the girls, he knew it must be something, well...oh, how he loathed this word...cute. "You can open them now," Kurama said. Hiei's eyes shot open. There, in front of him, was a black and white blob of fur with eyes.
"A...dog?" Hiei questioned. The dog wagged its tail. "She's a Border Collie. Her name is Buttons," Kurama said, smiling. "I saw her at the adoption center. They said she had been abandoned as a puppy, and been to three shelters before I found her. They were going to put her to sleep if she didn't find a home soon. I couldn't leave her."
Before Kurama could stop her, Buttons the Border Collie had put her front paws in Hiei's lap and was licking his face. "Awwww," the girls said. Yusuke laughed. "I never thought you were the cute fuzzy type, Hiei!"
Hiei grimaced, but soon Buttons stopped and got off him, sitting instead at his feet and looking up at him with her big brown eyes. "What am I going to do with a dog?" Hiei growled. Buttons thumped her tail against his leg and stared up at him, begging for attention.
Hiei heard Kurama's words echo in his head. "...abandoned as a puppy...three shelters...put her to sleep if she didn't find a home..." These words reminded Hiei of his own past, abandoned at birth, pushed from one place to another, fighting for his life...
Without thinking he put a hand down and scratched the dog's head. "I'll look after her, if you can't," Kurama said. "But she's yours. Besides, I don't think she'd like it much if she were separated from her friend for long." Hiei glanced up at him. "Friend?"
Kurama smiled, then whistled. A smaller dog came trotting proudly into the room, tongue lolling happily out of its mouth. "Aww, just like a little Lassie!" Keiko exclaimed. "This is Classy, a Shetland Sheepdog," Kurama said, reaching down to pet her. "I couldn't get one for you and not think of myself, after all."
Hiei had to smile at the proud little dog. He remembered Kurama telling him about dogs once. "They'll always be there for you. You can tell a dog anything, and they'll never breathe a word. No wonder why they're called Man's Best Friend." --Everyone deserves a best friend, even you,-- Kurama said telepathically. Hiei smiled. "Thank you, Kurama." Everyone came over to pet Classy and Buttons.
Then, Kuwabara stuck his head around the doorway. "Uh, is it safe?" he asked. Then he spotted the dogs. "Puppies!" he exclaimed, and jetted over to pet them.
Buttons growled at him, and Classy leapt at him, barking like a maniac. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Kuwabara wailed, running away from the mad little dog. "NICE DOGGIE, NICE DOGGIE!!!" Soon Buttons joined in the chase. Around and around they went, the two dogs not too far behind the terrified teen.
Then Buttons stopped and waited while Classy chased him around again. He stopped short. He was trapped between the two dogs. "Hn," Hiei said, "Seems they know what a fool he is. She may be useful after all." "Somebody please HELP ME!!!" Kuwabara wailed as the dogs inched closer.
After everyone had a good laugh, Kurama whistled, and the dogs trotted happily over to him. Kuwabara dropped to the ground, exhausted, while everyone complimented the dogs on what good girls they were!
