Hello! Kritter here, reporting live from... Uhm, oops. Wrong intro blush

Anywho, I'd like to thank all my readers for... well, reading! and give a special Thank You to Yutaan, Inuyasha's Girl Aqua (candy for you, for adding me to your favorite authors list), and Priestess Rin (candy for you, for putting myfic on youfavorites list)for reviewing and being so supportive. Thanks guys! I'd also like to thank my friend from school. He gave me the idea to write this when I had Writers Block (though, I did change the idea a little).


Chapter 4

Hiei had just finnished his fifth bowl of ramen, and was waiting to get a refill. Human food was better then he thought it would be.

"Suichi, you must be growing!" exclaimed Shiori, "I've never seen you eat so much!"


"Hiei," Kurama whispered to himself again, "What could be taking you so long?" He soon got annoyed and left the room to quietly slip down the stairs.

He carefully peeked around the corner to make sure his mother wouldn't see him. "Hiei!" he whispered, hoping Hiei could hear him.

Hiei looked over to Kurama, "What?"

Kurama gestured for Hiei to come over to him.

Hiei shook his head.

"Why not?"

"I'm eating." was Hiei's monotone reply.

Kurama nearly fell over, "You can eat any time."

"Then I choose now."

"Not now!"

"Why not?"

"Hiei!" Kurama growled, "You come over here, RIGHT NOW!"

Hiei sighed and stood from his chair, "Hn. Fine!"

They silently went to Kurama's room and locked the door.

Kurama, after locking the door, turned to Hiei and looked at him.

"What?" Hiei demanded.

Kurama sat on his bed and crossed his legs. "You stink. You need a shower."

"I stink? Is that why you dragged me up here?" Hiei was still angry that he couldn't continue eating his ramen. He paused for a minute, "A shower? Is that one of those things you do in the big, square thing, where the rain comes down?"

Kurama blinked for a minute, "Yes..." Hiei's going to have to learn a lot about human world. And I don't even know how he's going to get through school. Kurama looked around his room, "How much of this stuff do you know how to use?"

Hiei followed Kurama's gaze around the room before seeing something he knew, "This." He held up a green brush, with roses engraved in red, on the handle.

Kurama sweat-dropped, "O-kay... Do you know what that's called?"

"It's a... uhm... brush...?" Hiei contemplated.

"Do you recognize anything else?"

"Other than the bed, the chair, the desk, the window, the dresser, and the closet?"

"Yeah..."

Hiei was silent for a moment. "... No."

Kurama nearly fell over again. We're going to have a long night...

After Hiei learned how to use the shower -nearly flooding the bathroom in the process- and putting some pajamas on, Kurama showed Hiei how to use the blow-drier and helped comb the tangles out of "Hiei's" long, red hair.

Hiei ran his fingers through the thick, crimson, locks. "You have too much hair, fox." Hiei grinned, "Or rather, I have too much." He picked up a pair of scissors and proceeded to bring their blades closer to his head.

"No, Hiei!" Kurama shouted too quickly to stop himself. He slaped a hand over his mouth but it was too late.

"Suichi? Who's Hiei? Is everything alright?" Shiori called from outside the door.

Kurama's eyes widened. Oh no!

"I'm fine... Mother. I'm just... talking... to myself." Hiei answered on the other side of the door.

"O-okay..." she replied, a little more than confused.

Kurama held his breath as he waited for his mother to walk away.


The next morning, Hiei woke up and looked around. He hadn't expected to be in a bed; he usually slept in trees. He got out of the bed, almost stepping on poor Kurama, who had been kicked out of the bed sometime during the night. It was then, that he smelt something from the kitchen. He smiled at the sleeping fire demon on the floor. What the fox doesn't know, wont hurt him. Besides, he told me I could eat "any time".

Hiei began going down the steps to the kitchen, where Shiori was cooking.

"Good morning, Suichi. Are you hungry?" she smiled as she turned to face him.

Is she a demon? Could she sense me coming? "... Good morning... Yes, I'm very hungry." he emphasised.

Shiori began her cooking again, "So, it's Saturday. What do you plan to do today?"

Maybe I shouldn't have come down here without talking to Kurama... He sat in a chair, "I'm not sure."

"Not sure?" she repeated "That doesn't seem like you." She grinned as she set the plate full of breakfast items in front of him. "Do you feel ill? Did you catch what Ms. Forugane had?"

Forugane! She did this. I'm sure she can fix me... with some persuasion.

"Suichi?"

Hiei blinked and looked back to Shiori, "I'm fine." he stated coldly. Instead of eating the meal she had prepared for him, he stood and walked back up to Kurama's room.


Okay. That's chapter 4. I often read the bios of my reviewers (I love reviewers XD), and -more often than not- I read their fics. Do you see the beautiful circle? You review me, I review you! Yeah! PLZ Review:)

Okay, so Kurama and Hiei go to Ms. Forugane and... Haha! Have to wait until I get the next chapter out!
