Dear Hiei Chapter 3
Much Confusion
CelticLady-Hello again everyone! I finally have a muse to do my disclaimer for me! He's a Youkai Kitsune named Lon, he's Youko Kurama's half brother, and he's an important character in one of my other stories who, unfortunately, dies in the first chapter. Which doesn't mean he isn't in the rest of the story. He's beautiful and we actually get along! Come on Lon-chan, come and meet the nice readers!
Lon (blushing)- Do you have to call me that in public?
CL (thinking for a moment)-.^_~ Yes. Yes I do. Now wave to the people, and say the disclaimer!
Lon (Waves)- 9_9 CelticLady only owns herself, her characters/concepts, and..
CL- ^o^ And YOU! But not YYH! Or Silmarillion people.etc. ^________^ ^_^

Lon- -_-! I was getting to that.. . ;_;
CL-Don't Cry!
Lon- On with the story! ^_^
CL-Hey!!! That's MY line!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yusuke's room ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Botan giggled, "Do you think he'll kiss her?" Kurama frowned, "That would be rushing things. Besides, he hasn't been given any reason to." Yusuke gave a wicked grin, "Did anyone but me notice how KURAMA was looking at her?" 0_0. O_O! Kurama couldn't hide his guilty face, (How he tried!) Everyone stared at him. Koenma sulked, {How the HELL do I compete with HIM??? Hiei was easy, but KURAMA?} Botan looked shocked, "Your best friend, Kurama!" Kuwabara nodded, "The ultimate betrayal. The shrimp will kill you." "How can I control my feelings?" Botan glared, "Even for Youko, that would be cruel. You're the one who always gets the looks from the girls. This is probably Hiei's only chance for love! You know how he would be crushed if she chose you!" "That's why neither of them can ever know." Koenma looked over at him. {Let the games begin.} Kurama looked at the floor, {The great deception. The big lie.} Yusuke grinned even bigger, "And here I thought you lost your wicked side!" Kuwabara got that weird, crazy look in his eyes that he always got when he gave one of his 'loooove' speeches.. (A/N Be afraid. Be very afraid.) "Kurama you can't do this! Even the shrimp deserves true love! And I, as the protector of all true love say that your best friend's girl is off limits! Fear the wrath of Love's protector!" He was suddenly wearing the heart headband and making a pose that was rather frighteningly similar to one of Amelia's (A/N From Slayers.) 'Justice' poses. Everyone massively sweatdropped, including a bright-red Kurama.
~~~~~~~ Patio ~~~~~~~~~
Hiei began with a simple leap/forward thrust combination, Kara dodged it easily, countering with a graceful sidestep/swipe. He expected this, but not her unconventional next move, swinging the sword in a downward arc, then, when he moved to block it, struck from an entirely different direction. That was slightly harder to block; she was GOOD! After awhile, they began to learn each other's fighting style, her swift, graceful contrast to convention, his ruthless, efficient swiftstrikes. Hiei found that he was actually enjoying himself; surprisingly enough, this girl was an actual challenge! He was just about to try an experimental attack when suddenly, he was floating immobile in the air! Darkness surrounded him. He heard a whistle and felt cold, sharp little blades cut him in various places. A split second later, he heard Kara yell and he was on the ground, protected form above by her trembling form. "Stop, guys! Stop! Please!" the wind returned to normal. The whistling stopped. He heard the sound of two light sets of footsteps. Light returned to his eyes and Kara's face was looking down at him, he was cradled in her arms. And the attackers were Jin and Touya, who both looked faintly embarrassed. A thin trickle of blood ran toward his eye, Kara wiped it away. Her face was concerned, then she turned an angry look at Jin and Touya. "What the HELL were you two doing? Would you care to explain why you attacked my penpal, and new friend?" Her voice was alive with fury, her eyes blazed, her hair turned to pure fire; he couldn't take his eyes off of her, she was terrifying; she was beautiful! Jin shuffled uncomfortably under her gaze, "We, um, thought 'ya were in a bit 'o trouble." Touya was little less nervous, but managed a straight voice, "He's not what you think he is, Kara. We thought he went back to his old ways and went after you." "I can take care of myself!" "NOT against a FIRE YOUKAI!" She looked down at him, "Are you really?" "Y.yes.." "You could have said something." "No, I couldn't." He pulled away. ". Take it easy, Hiei." She cautioned gently. "I'm fine! Back off." He snapped, coldly. She winced at his tone, and he instantly regretted it, "I.I'm sorry, Kara. I shouldn't have shouted." When he looked again, it appeared he had imagined it though, for her face was a picture of icy calm. Ironically, Touya, the ice Youkai, was practically twitching with nervousness. He turned to Hiei, "I've never seen her so angry." Hiei gave him a 'not my problem' smirk and walked away, hating himself for the temptation to fall so that she would hold him again {Weakness! Why does that girl bring it out in me? Not that she isn't. special. She's strong, independent and not bad to look at. A girl any man in Makai would want for a mate. I'm not supposed to need anyone, though. What do I need with _love_ anyway? Just a ningen weakness! Great, now I'm even babbling inside my head! KUSOTARRE!}
~~~~~~ Soon ~~~~~~~~~~~
He sat on his bed, thinking about the things that had happened. An image from deep in his past played before his eyes.
* "You could have any other man, Elara. Why him?" "Remember this, Hiei, you only find true love once in your life. It's. wild, and it's crazy, and confusing as hell, but. It's Right. You just know. I love him. I can tell you this now, but it was a long time before I could even tell myself." "The path he chose is dangerous, you may never have a true home." "Home isn't a place, Fireball, it's a feeling. Home. It's where love is." "Will I ever see you again?" "Maybe. We DID grow up together. Do you honestly think you can get rid of me that easily?" "No. Eli, I." "Don't forget what I said. Don't let true love pass you by!" "I always thought that you would choose the safe path. Marry someone powerful enough to protect you, not. a healer! You know what people do! How they capture them! Imprison them so that their bands are invincible. There are so few True Healers in Makai. They are sometimes even burned out by over-usage of their powers! You could be alone in months, weeks!" "But I can always remember that one, true love. I've never been happier. Never let this chance escape you! Find her and love her, and invite me to your Bonding Ceremony! I know you say now that you will never love, but I know it's not true. Oh, I'll miss you, dearer than brother!" She turned to leave, "Elara!" "Yes?" ". Be. Happy." "Thank you." *
"Visiting with some old ghosts?" Kurama had entered, he crossed the room and sat on his bed, across from Hiei. "The problem of sharing a room with you, Kitsune, is that sometimes you creep up on even me." "Wow! Full sentences and everything! Wait! What have you done with the real Hiei?" "Shut up." "Bad date?" "Only when Jin and Touya showed up. They thought I was after her, tried to kill me, she saved me at the risk of her own life, held me, and I yelled in her face. Don't give me problems. The look in her eyes was punishment enough." "Since when do you care?" "Since I remembered something a friend told me a long time ago. Something about not letting love get away." "Wise words. Remember also what I said. You don't have to worry about Koenma, those two are actually blood kin." "Does he know?" "Not yet." "How are they related?" "He is the son of Enma, who is son of Mandos, who is brother to Ulmo, who had one child. With the second daughter of Melian, Felene, who was killed by Sauron, leaving behind the infant child whom not even the mighty Waterlord himself could protect from the lust of Morgoth. A baby girl, who was hidden in the future. There were prophecies, telling of great power, of the daughter of the three immortal races. She's doomed by her own blood." "How do you know?" "A hunch when we met her. Then I decided to go over Koenma's head." "You mean.?" "Enma himself!" "You've been a busy little fox. Now what?" "Now, we each go to our respective beds, and YOU think of how you're going to sweep Kara off her feet. A girl like her deserves it. She's a great person, and she doesn't even know she's not human but she wants you anyway. Think, did she just drop you when she knew you were a youkai?" "No." "What? No infamous 'hnnn'?" "She said it made me sound unintelligent and also rude." O_O? "." "What?" Hiei demanded "So you just. STOPPED?" "I thought about it. She was right." "Whatever. Good night!" "Yeah, could have been better, though."
~~~~~~~ The next day ~~~~~~~~~~
Knock! Knock! Botan crept drowsily out of her bed to answer the door. It was Hiei! "Botan, I need to ask you something." He said, "Ok. come in." "It's about. women. How do you know if they forgive you? And if they don't how do you make them?" "Have you tried kissing her." "She'd pound me into oblivion." "How do you know?" "She's the tough sort. A little. hot tempered." "That's not what Kurama said. She even let him borrow one of her books." "When?!?" Botan yawned, "Why, just this morning. They were in the library awhile." "How do you know?" "Classified." She shut the door, Hiei raged silently in the hall. Then decided his rage would be better spent charbroiling the backstabbing treacherous kitsune.
Downstairs, He heard Kara laugh. He sped up. Urameshi and Kuwabaka were sitting at the table wolfing down a freshly cooked breakfast, Kurama and Kara were huddled over something on the counter, they were covered in pink and green foam that sprayed in a small stream and they stood much closer than he liked to see. "What the HELL is going on?" he demanded, they turned around, "Oh, hi Hiei, Shuuichi was helping me fix the smoothie machine. Could 'ya toss me that wrench? Oh, and watch out for flying fruit!" "Is there something between you two?" "No, but I'm not even your girlfriend so if there was, it really wouldn't be your business." "Are you still mad about yesterday?" "No, merely stating a fact. After all, you haven't really even shown any interest in any kind of long-term relationship. Or any relationship, period." "She does have a point there, shrimp!" Said Kuwabara, Hiei glared at him "Call me that again and you will not have to dodge flying fruit. YOU WILL BE ONE!" Kara rolled her eyes, "Are they always like this, Shuu?" "Pretty much. Usually Yusuke ends up involved, too. He's been unusually quiet lately. Oh! I think I've got it! There, it works now." "You are amazing!" "Thanks." he blushed. Hiei fumed, "Shuuichi. Can. We. talk? In. The. Other. Room?" He hissed, 'Shuuichi' gave Kara a shrug and followed.
~~ Other room ~~~~
"What's up, Hiei?" "You know perfectly well, YOUKO! Back. Off. Leave Kara alone!" "I'm just being nice! You could try that, you know." "I'm not sure I trust either o' you with her!" Jin and Touya had come up behind them, "Now," Touya said, businessman-like, "Why exactly are you here? And what do you want with our sister?" "Your WHAT????" "Our sister. About ten years ago, she fell through to our world. She was only five years old, lost and scared, we found her and asked her about her home. She said she never knew her parents and only had an Aunt, so, we sort of adopted her. Legally. She's our sister, and we're her brothers. And we protect her. Awhile after the Makai tournament, she gave us these magic amulets; we can travel freely between this world, and Makai. She's been there for us, through victory, and rough, embarrassing defeat; through everything. She took care of us when we got poisoned, or sick, and after battles! And we won't let anyone hurt or use her, no matter who they are." Touya said defiantly, "Tha's right." Agreed Jin. "'Sides, you're Mukuro's heir, 'n Makai's no place for her! She's like a flower from this world, she is, needs the bright sunshine and pretty blue skies." Touya grinned, "Consider yourselves warned." They walked off.
"Strange." Kurama murmured, thoughtfully. Hiei sneered, "'like a flower?' I don't know you, but I've never seen a flower that could hold its own against me!" "So she did almost beat you?" "I never said that." "Look, Hiei, I'm not after Kara, that would be disloyal, and dishonorable. I'm sorry if it looked that way." "Fine." "Are we good." "Ok." {Hiei can never know my true feelings.} Thought Kurama, "By the way, Hiei, how are you going to tell Mukuro?" "I'll simply say I have found a worthy mate." "She'll be disappointed!" "I'll just tell her she can have the pretty Kitsune she's had her eye on!" "You wouldn't dare!" "Let's go get breakfast before those oafs finish it all!" "Hiei!!!" He smirked and ran off.
When they got back into the Kitchen, Yusuke hid something he had been writing under the table. Kara smiled at them, "Oh, you're back! Coffee's ready. Hope you don't mind regular, I never buy Decaf." Hiei grinned, "Cooooffffeeee..." Botan popped up out of nowhere, "Did someone say coffee? As in the non-decaf kind? Yayyyy!" O.o Everyone was very frightened.
~~~ 10 minutes and a straight jacket later. ~~~
Botan wiggled happily around on the floor, singing about her pretty, pink funny coat. The kitchen looked as if a tornado had hit it. Hiei's hair was full of cheerios and 'Shuuichi' sported a heavily gelled pompadour (Complete with butterfly clips!), which he gazed up at in dismay. Kuwabara was tied up with the cord of the newly-fixed smoothie machine which his head had been forcibly crammed into, and Yusuke was sitting on his notebook, which he occasionally patted and muttered 'they'll never get you my precious..' and then lit up a spirit gun which he immediately extinguished. Kara alone looked relatively untouched (She had the sense to sheild herself) and surveyed the damage with a relatively calm face. "Hmmm.. Remind me to make her drink only decaf." "I could have told you that!" Said Kuwabara through the smoothie machine.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Is Kurama interested in Kara? When will Koenma be told he's hitting on his cousin? What is Yusuke planning? Will Botan ever crash down? Are Kara and Hiei ever going to REALLY hook up? Will Jin and Touya REALLY pummel Kurama and Hiei? Will Kuwabara ever get that smoothie machine off of his head? Is Botan on drugs? Not telling until I get some reviews! What do you think of my new muse?
NEXT TIME I MIGHT TELL YOU WHAT'S UP WITH KURAMA'S MOM! DO YOU WANT TO KNOW???
