Chapter 14

Today, ugh, was an off day for everyone in one way or another. Some either got hurt, misplaced something, both, or worse.

Yukina and Columbia had recieved the worst of the injuries. Yusuke, being the idiot that he is, ran Yukina's foot over with his car. Yukina also got a door in the face by Koenma, who, not long after, recieved a concusion from Yukina.

Now here's the good stuff, Columbia got three volleyballs to the head during P.E., she fell down, or tripped herself, and hurt her left knee, after school, Yusuke, the idiot like I said, thought it would be funny to scare Columbia by shutting her car door, but instead of shutting the door, he slammed the car door on her left leg. Later on that day, while she was limping, Columbia was sitting on the couch minding her own buisiness when her own brother, Kurama, threw a small, hard plastic ball that hit Columbia in the jaw. For her final injury, she was walking up the stairs to her room and when she reached what she thought to be the top of the stairs, she tripped, missed the top stair, and slammed her left knee cap into the damn top stair.

(A/N: I thought I should tell you, all those injuries that Yukina and Columbia had recieved, had all happened to me yesterday. Before the things with my left leg, my knee was already bothering me 'cause my left knee cap isn't in the right place, so just falling on it, getting it slammed in a car door, and falling up the stairs didn't help. Now I have to wear my knee brace to who knows when, I'm surprised I didn't die or something.)

Now Columbia just lay in her bed staring at the ceiling, not moving at all. She slowly lifted her left arm to check her watch, it was only 11:56 PM.

'Four more minutes till tomorrow comes.'

So Columbia continued to lay there till her watch beeped at midnightm then her nerves finally settled, but not long before, her phone rang. Even though she was ready to crash, she still answered it.

"Hi Hiei."

"How do you do that?"

"You're the only one who calls my phone, plus, I know you."

"Oh, well, that's not fun."

"No kidding, I'm tired and you're keeping me up."

"Yeah, I'm keeping YOU up."

"Yeah, you are."

"No, I'm not."

"You're the one who called me."

Click.

Hiei sat on the other line as his girlfriend hung up on him.

"What's her problem? Oh well, I'll just call her in the morning, hmm, it's Saturday and she hates to get up early."

The Next Morning...8:00 AM

Columbia was awaken by her annoying ass phone ringing.

'Let the machine get it.'

And that's just what happened and there was no surprise as to who it was.

"Red, pick up, answer the damn phone."

"Hiei!"

"Shut up Yukina, come on Red, I want to make it up to you for last night."

(A/N: Hiei's begging, what's wrong with that, I'll tell ya, EVERYTHING.)

Giving in, Columbia pushed the speaker button.

"How are you gonna make it up to me?"

"I dunno, but don't hang up."

"Why not?"

"I dunno."

"Why do you keep saying that, and don't you say 'I dunno'."

"Okay, I don't know."

Hiei could hear Columbia cringe on the other line, all Hiei did was smirk in return.

"I heard that Hiei."

"Hear what? I didn't say anything."

"I can hear you smiling."

"You wish you could."

"I can, you emotionless, cold hearted..."

"I love you."

Columbia's eyes widened, her jaw dropped, and the phone fell from her hand to the ground.

On Hiei's end, he smiled, the only way to shock her, even though he did mean what he had just said.

Noticing that she dropped the phone, Columbia grabbed it and brought it back to her ear still no saying a word.

"I can hear you breathing."

"D-d-duh."

"Ha, now I know how to break you down."

Columbia just sighed.

"You want to meet up somewhere?"

"Nah, I have to help mom, Kurama, and Patsy. I'm their little maid ya know."

"Yeah, they wish you were, but you're mine."

"Heh, controlling are we?"

"You wish. Well, I better let ya go before Kurama shoots you, or me, or both of us."

"Yeah, love ya."

"I knew you could say it, love ya too."

Click.

Columbia still couldn't believe that she had said that, but that was her way, so it didn't matter.

In a fit of happiness and to make a scene, Columbia ran down stairs past her mom, Kurama, and Patsy, who stared at the over happy Columbia.

Kurama, knew what had happened adn he was furious, he heard Hiei saying that he was gonna admit to Columbia that he loved her, but Kurama didn't think he'd do it, so now he had to do something, something that may scare some people he knew.

"I'll be back in a little bit mother."

"Alright, be careful."

Kurama nodded.

'I'll be alright, as for Hiei, I can not be so sure.'

Kurama walked out back and reached into the bushes and pulled out an old lead pipe, that looked like it had blood stains on it.

He walked back towards the front of the house and turned down the street towards the Jaganshi residence.


Um, why did I do that you may ask, well I had to do something freaky and I believe I did. Now matter how bad or how wrong it may seem.

I also realize that Hiei and Kurama are best friends, but it's my the sibling thing that I put in here. I mean look at how Hiei acts when Kuwabara hits on Yukina. Now that Hiei has admitted to Columbia that he loves her and Kurama overheard it, he's completely snapped and acting like the overprotective brother with a little bit of a homicidal maniac in the mix. Get it now?

Well, still no luck with that damned "slam book", but it's still early in the game and I'll get it eventually, even if it kills me in the process.

For those of you who have read my story, "Sending Hiei Over The Deep End", I'm gonna try and get that updated this week sometime, so stay tuned.

Okay, for some reviews I have to thank Miranda and Andi 'cause I talk to you two just about every night, when some of us sneak on...haha...maybe that's just me. Also to Youko's Daughter Sakaki, thank you so much for that last review 'cause you're the kind of reader that keeps me writing this, well to my friends "junk", but to you hmm..."gold". I'll tell you a secret about the plot line...every chapter's plot line is thought up and written out within, hmm...2 to 3 hours at the most and it feels good that my story line is worthy of you wonderful readers, when they are thought up in so little time. So I thank you all so much.
