At Genkai's Temple

Serenity stirred. Ouch...my head. What happened? She squeezed her eyes even more, and finally decided to wake up. She slowly sat up, and opened her weary eyelids. Serenity ended up looking at an old lady, and a pretty girl with blue hair and red eyes.

Serenity frowned. "Umm...hi?" She was confused, and looked at her surroundings. "Eh...where am I?"

The blue haired girl with red eyes smiled warmly at her. "You are at Genkai's."

"I am Genkai," said the old lady.

"Hi! I'm Yukina!" She smiled happily. "I'll be right back with your lunch."

Serenity was confused. "Lunch?"

She smiled again. "Yup! I'll be right back." She skipped out of the room, and ran down the stairs to the kitchen.

Genkai looked at Serenity, boring into her mind and body. "So...you are Serenity."

"Umm...how do you know my name?!"

Just then Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara walked into the room.

Kurama smiled, and made Serenity blush. "Hi. You are awake. My name is Shuichi, but you can call me Kurama."

"I'm Yusuke," said the boy with gelled back black hair.

Kuwabara just stared. Then finally, he ran up to Serenity, and put her hand in his. "SERENITY...I AM THE GREAT KAZUMA KUWABARA!!! I WILL PROTECT YOU FROM HARM AND DANGER AND..."

Yusuke punched Kuwabara and he fell unconscious. "Shut up, Kuwabara. You're scaring her."

Kurama laughed. But unknown to them all, Hiei was watching Serenity from the trees. He smirked, and went to the woods to train.

Yusuke smiled. "Well, I'm hungry. Are you?"

"Umm...I guess so."

"Let's go down to the kitchen!"

Yusuke grabbed Kuwabara's legs, and dragged him down the stairs. Kurama chuckled and helped Serenity up.

"Serenity, your training shall begin tomorrow then."

Serenity looked at Genkai. "Ummm..OK." Serenity smiled and followed Kurama out he door.

Kuwabara finally woke up, and ate like a pig.

Yusuke laughed. "Well, if you want to keep your fingers, Serenity, you better keep them out of Kuwabara's way. Hahahaha!"

Serenity laughed, and Hiei came through the door. He quietly sat down between Serenity and Kurama, and ate.

Kurama chuckled. "Well, since we have a new member to our team, let's watch a movie or something."

Kuwabara looked up from his plate. "A MOVIE!!"

Hiei rolled his eyes. "Hn. Baka."

Serenity smiled. "Alright then."

Hiei looked at her like she was crazy. She obviously had never seen a movie with these bakas. She'll learn soon enough. He sighed, and went to the window, but something grabbed his leg.

Kurama grinned. "Hiei, we're almost like a family. Join us."

"Hn. Baka. Never. It was chaos last time."

Kurama dragged Hiei down to the couch to sit next to Serenity and himself. Poor Hiei, instead, he plopped down on Serenity's lap instead of the seat next to her. Hiei blushed madly, and so did Serenity, and Hiei quickly sat next to her. Yusuke and Kuwabara laughed, and Yusuke put in the video tape.

"The Grudge?! HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET IT ON DVD ALREADY?! IT'S STILL IN THE MOVIE THEATRES!!" Serenity was looking at Yusuke weirdly.

He grinned. "Bootleg."

Kurama chuckled. "Where in the world did you have TIME to watch The Grudge?"

"While skipping school."

"Oh."

Even though the movie started, and the volume was at it's loudest, Serenity couldn't hear one word being said. Yusuke and Kuwabara were too busy munching, and making even more noise than the stupid TV. Soon, they had an argument about who had the most popcorn, and were fighting for the dumb popcorn. Serenity growled and slapped her forehead. Hiei smirked, watching her from the corner of his eye. Haha. She probably regrets watching the movie now.

There were popcorn bits flying all over the living room, and most of them hit the TV, obscuring the spectators' vision. Serenity couldn't take it anymore, and decided just to close her eyes, and dream. Hiei smirked again, and wished he could have slit the bakas' throat right then and there.

Hiei felt something fall gently on his shoulders and looked. It was Serenity. She was breathing quietly, and sleeping, dreaming of the events going to happen the next day. Hiei faintly blushed, and held her sleeping form, and put it in a more comfortable position. On his lap. Kurama frowned. Doesn't he know that Serenity is mine?!

It was finally the end of the movie, and Hiei was having a hard time. He didn't know what to do with the sleeping girl on his lap. Kurama smirked.

"Do you need help?"

Hiei frowned. "No. I can do it by myself."

Hiei lifted Serenity up from his lap. He looked around.

"Umm...where is her room?"

Kurama lifted his eyebrows. "I'll take her to her room, then Hiei."

Hiei growled. "I can do it myself."

Hiei laid Serenity down, as he got up. Kurama frowned with jealously in his heart, and went off to his own room. Serenity's brown/red hair was in her eyes, and Hiei pushed the strands away. She's so... ugh. What am I thinking? Dumb ningen emotions. He mentally slapped himself. Where is her room? Maybe I should have given her to Kurama. No, he wants her to himself. Maybe I should just leave her here. I should get her a pillow, and a blanket. She looks cold. Argh. I'm so confused. Should I just sleep with her until morning to protect her just in case Diguri comes back? Hiei smirked. How could he have survived a stab like that anyway? Oh well, I guess I'm stuck with the onna. Hiei sighed. This is going to be one lonnggg night.
