Chapter 8

It was Sunday night when Botan woke up. Unfortunately, Botan couldn't remember what she had seen.

"It would seem that we're back to square one." Kurama sighed.

Yusuke shrugged, "I guess we'll have to finish this tomorrow."

Kurama shook his head, "We can't do that. I have school tomorrow."

"So? Just don't go. It's not like anyone will notice if you're not there." Yusuke responded.

"Easy for you to say, Urameshi!" Kuwabara shouted from the next room over.

Yusuke didn't know what he was doing in there, and didn't want to know. "How's that, BUTT-HEAD?"

"Yusuke, it's not that simple." Kurama began, "I-"

"Who you callin' a butt-head?" Kuwabara ran in in his boxers.

Now Yusuke knew he didn't want to know what Kuwabara had been doing in there. "You, you butt-head!"

"You're the butt-head!"

"Boys, how many times are you going to say, 'butt-head'?" Botan asked, walking in from the kitchen.

Yusuke snorted, but kept quiet.

It was then, that Kurama looked around, "What time is it?"

Kuwabara looked at his watch. (K: 2 things: 1. why does he have a watch when the only things he's wearing are boxers? & 2. I didn't know he could tell time!) "Six o'clock."

"Oh my! We have to go. Come on, Hiei." Kurama jumped up and made his way for the door.

Hiei rolled his eyes, but followed anyway.


"Now, Hiei, when you get in, just say 'Hello Mother', answer her questions the best you can, and come upstairs." Kurama instructed as they made their way to Kurama's door.

"But, what if there's ramen?"

Kurama shook his head, "No ramen. I'll get you some after we're back to normal."

"Hn."

Kurama opened the door and pushed Hiei inside, before closing the door and getting up to his room to wait.

Hiei walked into the house and called out, "Mother, I'm home."

"Suichi, how was your day?"

Hiei was quiet for a moment. Dealing with these human was always so hard. Why were they always asking questions? "... Fine..." He walked into the kitchen, Is this room... her den? Why is she always in here?

She turned and smiled, "Are you hungry?"

Don't ask me that! ".. No."

"Sure? I have more ramen... and if you finish that, you can have ice cream."

Hiei thought, The fox didn't say anything about sweet snow.

"Suichi?"

Hiei grinned, "Yes. I would like some ramen and then some sweet snow."

"Sweet snow? Is that what you young people call it these days? I'm so out of touch." she rambled on about her childhood as she prepared his dinner.


Hiei.., Kurama mentally growled, Have you no will power?

Hiei sat at the table as Shiori placed two bowls in front of him; one with ramen, one with sweet snow. And Hiei ate... like a pig.

"Suichi, you make sure to go to bed nice and early. Can't face school without the proper amount of sleep, now can you?" Shiori spoke, as she washed the dishes.

Hiei wasn't listening, he was too busy enjoying his sweet snow. How did those ningens come up with this? he mused silently, still not listening to his 'mother'.


Kurama paced the room a few times, "What if he tells her something she shouldn't hear?" He sighed, Should I be this nervous? I mean, Hiei knows better than to say something stupid... An image of Hiei telling Shiori everything about Demon World, suddenly appeared in his mind. Hiei...

Hiei stood from his spot at the table and slipped out of the kitchen without Shiori hearing him. He really didn't want to have to speak with her anymore. He went up the steps, to Kurama's room, where Kurama was in the middle of a nervous breakdown.

"What is wrong with you, Fox?" Hiei asked, though it was obvious that he didn't care what the answer was.

Kurama jumped up from his bed, "Hiei! What did you tell her?"

"Nothing."

"Why were you down there so long? Didn't I tell you that I'd get you some ramen after we were back to normal?"

"You didn't say anything about sweet snow..."

Kurama sweat dropped, "... Uhm, next time... just don't..." He stopped.

Hiei flopped down on the bed, "Night."

"What are you doing?"

"Sleeping." Hiei answered with his eyes still closed.

"Why?"

"I have school tomorrow."

Kurama sweat dropped once again, "It's seven thirty."

"So?"

Not seeing anything better to do, Kurama shook his head again and turned the light off.


Okay, next one is about how bad Hiei canmake things at Kurama's school.

Review!
