Hiei: I have a complaint.

Flamer: Any complaints for Dragonite have to go through us first. Besides, when's the last time you've been in the -before and after- part of this fic?

Hiei: Oh, I'll go through you, alright, u frickin Kirby!

Flamer: screams like a little girl

What is it?

Hiei: I thought I wasn't going to fall in love anymore.

Flamer:She lied.

Hiei: What about that ningen New Years resolution for 2004of not lying you were going to do?

Flamer and me: She/I lied about that, too.

Grape Kirby: Both of you are evil. Anyway, Dragonite does not own Yu-Yu-Hakusho, because if she did, Hiei would be lied to almost every time Dragonite said something to him about doing anything.


Up in the Holiday Inn, on the 5th floor, a confused scene is about to take place... MUHAHAHAH!

The sun's late rays came crashing down upon two late-nighters, still sleeping off the effect. In Hiei's bed, Ruby was still asleep... inside of his arms. When the afternoon rays hit her face...

...she was starring at a sleeping Kurama in the other bed.

/- What the... then what... oh, no. I'm in Hiei's bed! Ah... these are his arms around me... -/ Ruby observed, looking at the hands resting on her stomach.

She turned around to face Hiei, who was still sleeping. Again, the demon's peaceful state seem to calm the dragon down as Ruby cuddled deeper in his arms.

Insert proper romantic Yu-Yu-Hakusho music here

Surprisingly, Hiei embraced her back. Ruby knew it was just from reflex... but she didn't care. She wanted to stay in Hiei's arms for as long as possible. As soon as the youkai woke up, her fantasy would end, so the longer, the better.

Ruby sent one of her hands to touch his face.

It was so smooth and soft, unlike his attitude, and when her hands started to stroke Hiei's white starburst hair, it felt like silky cat's fur. All of this happening, Kurama started to stir in his sleep, yawning. Almost in unison, Hiei's eyes started to open. Thankfully, Kurama just turned around and went back to sleep...

...but the same couldn't be said about the fire demon...

"Holy shit!" He gasped, unwrapping his arms from the dragon mutt and scooting away from her. "What are you doing... sleeping with me?" He snapped sweadropping.

Ruby was frightened, but her kitsuneplayfulness came out by the fire demon's panic. She scooted back next to him on the bed, looking him in the eye.

"It was cold last night and I couldn't sleep. I thought that you would give me the most warmth... since you're a fire youkai..." She purred.

Now, Hiei was highly annoyed. He neither had nor wanted romantic feelings for Ruby, and then he finds the girl sleeping with him and his arms around her. And to make matters worse, Kurama woke up by the sound of his curse. He stretched his arms out lazily...

...and looked at Ruby and Hiei in question.

"Is there something you would like to explain to me?" Kurama snarled, his tone turning into Yoko's quickly.

Ruby sweatdropped, but then jumped out of the bed, smiling.

"All I have to say is that I couldn't help myself and that I have no regrets!" She cheered, prancing into the bathroom.

Now, that sent a very clean, but misunderstood picture through Yoko's head and he starred daggers at the fire youkai. He practically jumped high out of bed and growled at Hiei. The fire youkai, not in any such mood, simply stepped out of bed and looked up at the offended father.

"How dare you, Hiei. I thought I made it clean that you were not to touch Ruby." 'Yoko' stated.

"For your information, fox, your daughter is misleading you. Do you really think that I would lay myself to such a young and inexperience dragon? I have enough shame on my shoulders, but to mate with a race that I don't have the right of talk to... how dare you!" Hiei explained.

Soon, Yoko calmed down and Kurama came back, looking very tired and embarrassed. He frowned at the fire youkai, almost ashamed that he accused him of such a vile act.

"I'm terribly sorry, Hiei. I should have known that you would have much more will power than that."

Hiei smirked.

"It's okay. You're not a morning person, but that's not an excuse either, because it's the afternoon."

"It's seems that we all over-slept."

As Hiei walked over to the closet, he turned around, making eye contact.

"If you want to blame anyone for this misunderstanding, it's Ruby. You're going to have to teach her a lesson that all fathers must do, because if she continues to flirt with me, my will power will eventually be shattered. My patience can only go so far."

Kurama nodded.

"I understand."

Later that day, Ruby sat on the beach, looking sadly at the sea before her and the lowering sun on the horizon. Her thoughts were highly confused.

/- How could I do that! Why would I just sleep with Hiei and I haven't even known him for over a week? Is it something about him I have to figure out... or want to figure out? -/

Soon, Ruby heard soft foot steps of sand coming to her. She turned around to see Kurama, bare-footed in the sand. Ruby sighed, unable to look her father in the face. Kurama walked towards her, sitting next to troubled mutt.

"I see you like the ocean I much as I do." He sighed, dazing at the sea.

Ruby turned away.

"Go away!" Ruby demanded.

The fox was taken back by the hostility of his daughter's yell, gasping. But, soon, Kurama softened under the soft spundof sobs and the sight of drops of water on the sand.

"I don't want to be bothered with right now. I feel... dirty..." she cried, holding her legs against her chest.

Kurama smiled softly and puts his arms around her. Ruby showed little resistance, because it was Yoko who had pulled her in.

"Listen, it is only natural that you felt attracted to Hiei during that blue moon." Yoko started to explain.

Ruby lifted her head from her arms.

"How could acting so perverted be natural?"

Yoko chuckled.

"Apparently, you do not know of the kitsune mating season. Silver kitsunes have strong urges during blue moons. That's why you were affected." He explained.

Moments of silence loomed with the waves crashing on the beach again and again with a confronting sound. Then, Yoko sighed.

"I partly blame myself for not telling you about your mating season sooner, so I should also tell you the reason why you should never mate on a night that's not an orange moon."

"I am still curious about that, Father."

Then, Yoko looked at her with care, dead serious about the next verse.

"Dragons have the ability to mate year 'round, but with a fatal consequence. The pregnant dragon -now having to feed two mouths- has to feed off the blood of demons, humans, and its own kind just keep itself and the growing baby alive. I've seen a dragon in such a state, Ruby. I believe you dreamt of such an event."

Ruby gasped in realization. The dream with the demonic dragon that was after Yoko and her mother, Kai, was just a mother trying to pass a child. Yoko continued his parental information.

"This being said, I'm not sure if this said trait is past down to half breeds such as yourself. Still, I will not allow you to mate and find out. I'm going as far as to say that if you do not mate on an orange moon... I will be forced to kill you."

Yoko felt Ruby's gasp against his chest, almost regretting his last sentence. Ruby now understood why Kurama was acting funny every time she flirted with Hiei. It was for her own safety and happiness. But, she was glad that she wasn't just another lustful demon.

"So... I'm not a slut." Ruby whispered.

"Hn, of course not..." Yoko then hesitated with the next words, "but I think these feelings of yours goes deeper than the full moon."

"What do you mean?"

"Even though the full moon makes other creatures around you seem more attractive, I think it's your heart trying to tell you something. Love is a hard emotion to handle, even more so than pain. I had trouble admitting that I loved your mother, but it was there. However, you are fully aware of your pure love for Hiei."

Ruby gazed into her father's eyes, amazed at how wise he was and how true his words might be. This wasn't some stupid ningen teenage love. It wasn't lust... she was in love. Pure Makai love. Suddenly, a truth hit the dragon mutt.

"Even if I did love Hiei... there's no way that fire demon would ever love me back, Father." Ruby frowned.

Yoko chuckled.

"You may not believe it, but even a demon as hard and cold as Hiei can fall in love... given the correct scenario..." he hinted... hint hint...


Hiei: You even made Yoko go soft.

No I didn't. He's just a caring father. He makes a great father.

Grape Kirby: I wish I had a father.

Flamer: That makes you a bastard!

Grape: WHAAA!

Mean Flamer! You're a bastard, too, now that I think about it.

Flamer: Nope. I know my father. It's Metanight.

Hiei: Can't you Kirbys get out of the Yu-Yu-Hakusho section!

Grape and Flamer: NO!

Flamer: We are Dragonite's army and we follow her everywhere.

Hiei: sigh Review please.

All Kirbys: THAT'S OUR LINES!
