Chapter 1: Greetings

"Yukina-chan!"

Kuwabara all but leapt down the emple stairs to meat (-.-) meet with his "icy fair maiden".

"Hello, Kazuma." She smiled warmly up at him, oblivious to his silent fit of joy.

"She said my name!" Kuwabara swooned where he was standing.

Botan rushed out of the temple, also, but actually took the time to put her foot on each stair. "Hi, Yukina."

"Konnichiwa, Botan!"

The two escourted Yukina up the stairs (Kuwabara making sure that his "delicate little flower" didn't fall or stumble over any of them). Little did he know, he was making it worse. Yukina tripped over her third stair. "For goodness sake!" Botan yanked the poor girl away from Kuwabara.

Keiko, Yusuke, Kurama, and Genkai were sitting in the living room. Yukina greeted each of them before taking a seat herself. She blinked in confusion. "Where's Hiei-sama?"

"What, the shrimp"

Kurama cut Kuwabara off. "Just taking a walk. He should be back soon."

"Oh."

Kuwabara waved it off and plopped down on the couch next to her. "We an deal witout shorty here grunting and 'Hn'ing and"

"Ohayo, Hiei!" Yukina beamed at the startled fire demon.

Hiei picked out a chair a good distance away from Yukina and Kuwabara with Kurama. The kitsune elbowed him, elicting a small grunt of "'Morning..."

Yukina wasn't deterred by this in the least. "How was your day?"

If this was anyone but Yukina, Hiei would have walked right back out of the room. "...Fine."

Silence.

"...So, who wants lemonade?" Genkai got up and headed to the kitchen.

"I'll help!" Yukina followed her out of the room.
