-Delicate Petals-
Yes, I love you reviewers. ^_^ Woo!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rain started coming down harder as we walked slowly. I felt the cold chill of the rain and smiled.
"You are extremely interesting to talk to." I heard Hiei's dark voice break through my thoughts. I looked over at him and gave him a blank stare.
"So are you. I think I've picked up more than a few of your charming traits." He must've sensed the sarcasm. I waited for it.
"Shut up." I grinned and continued to walk in the rain with Hiei by my side. I never noticed before but there is a place in my heart for every one of the members of the Urameshi team. Not to mention the girls as well. Especially one in particular, who held my heart in her hands. Hiei was the closest to me when it came to friendship. When it came down to a sort of relationship, Botan was there. My life was messed up. "You can think that again." I shook my head and sighed.
"Can I ever have the privacy of my own thoughts?"
"No." I smiled and nodded.
"I thought so." He smirked and continued to walk on. By the time we got halfway to the house, it was pouring.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You know you're not going to win." Hiei said and I grunted. We were playing cards again. I was stuck in a bad situation. I had already drawn half the deck.
"Well, now.. I wouldn't say I'm the only one." I put down a card and he growled.
"Damn you." I chuckled and watched him pick up atleast fifteen cards. "You'll regret that."
"Really, now?" I smiled and watched as he put a card down. We were playing Crazy 8s. That's sort of like Uno but with normal cards. "Try this one." I did it to him again. This time, he only drew five cards.
"Smart move." He set his card down and I set another. We continued this way for two or three minutes. Finally, I got fed up with sitting around.
"Let's get this game over-with. I want some sugar."
"Me too." I smirked and placed a card down. It was like sudden death. One of us was going to go out and win this game. I found out it was me who won. Hiei won the most, though. It wasn't a winner take all. Just win the games.
"Sugar time." Hiei smirked and followed me into the kitchen. I enjoyed this a lot. Moments alone with him. Funny moments mostly. The mall was funny, of course. Every time someone would stare at him, he would glare at them or something.
"Ice-cream." I blinked.
"Huh?"
"Ice-cream."
"We're out."
"Go get more." I sighed.
"You're coming with me."
"Fine."
We wound up walking to the store and buying sweets and ice-cream. The woman at the counter gave us a weird look and I noticed Hiei glaring at her.
"Will you not be so rude?" I asked when we walked out of the store. "That woman seemed nice enough. You obviously have social problems."
"She was giving me this look. She gave it to you a few times, too."
"Atleast you didn't make her cry." I said, recalling the screaming little boy at the mall.
"Shut up."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not eating ice-cream again for a while. Hiei and I ate nothing but ice-cream and candy and stuff. We were, as you say, wired. Extremely wired. Sugar-high. Yup.
"I feel weird." Hiei said in confusion. I smirked at him.
"You feel hyper."
"Hyper?"
"Yeah." He got up and dragged me with him. We went outside and he apparently wanted to do something. Something that didn't include sitting around the house.
"I say we run around or something. How about some late-night training?" I nodded. That sounded like the best way to get rid of our pent-up energy. We raced to the park and to our secluded area. We began our dark training. It was fun for a while but I got bored and quickened the pace. We soon were going to our maximums. We couldn't go any faster. My eyes narrowed and I felt blood start to run down my arm. He had gotten me. Oh well. I was going to get him with this next attack. I started to swing my whip as fast as I could and he only blocked a few.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We trudged in at 10:30 in the morning and found that we were extremely tired. First, shower. Second, bandage wounds. Third, get ready for a nice nap. And last but not least, sleep.
"We should do that more often." I heard him say. I smiled and went up to the bathroom. Sliding out of my clothes, I adjusted the temperature. I got in the shower and let the cold water rinse all of the blood away. It felt marvelous. Then I cleansed and bandaged the wounds I got. Then I slid a pair of sweat pants on and walked out.
"I'm so tired. Sleep is next." I said with a yawn. He looked at me and shook his head.
"You even got me tired. Stupid humans."
"I'm not a human."
"You're accustomed to sleeping, therefore I'm accustomed to sleeping. Do you see my point? I've been here way too long." I smiled at him. He knows he cannot go back. Not when his sister is here.
"You are pathetic." I mocked him. He glared at me and I laughed. "Sleep." I yawned again and walked into my room. I fell onto the bed and closed my eyes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiei and I were in my room and I was pacing again. I was wondering how Botan was doing. She hasn't called or anything. I haven't seen her since yesterday.
"Do I have the permission to tie you to the tree outside?" I heard Hiei ask. I looked over at him but continued to pace.
"No."
"Damn." He watched me pace then he sighed. "You are so irritating." I glared at him.
"Do you mind? I'm trying to think." He smirked ever so slightly. "And don't even think about it." I saw him then roll his eyes.
"You're doing it again. You're taking all my fun away."
"You know why I'm pacing!" I glared at him and he gave me an amused look.
"Do I really?" I sighed and got on with my pacing. The phone rang and I practically dove for it.
"Hello?" I asked quickly. I heard nothing for a second.
"Kurama?" It was Botan. I sighed then looked over at Hiei, who was starting to draw in His notebook.
"Yes, Botan?"
"I'm going to stay over Keiko's again tonight." She said in a quiet tone. I smiled slightly.
"Thats fine." I said. Keiko came on next and I heard her talking to Yuusuke.
"Thank you for what you did. She told me all about it. Anyway, we'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye!" I heard a click then pushed the end button and sighed.
"What was that all about?" I looked back at Hiei and raised an eyebrow.
"We've got the entire house to ourselves. Almost like normal." He smirked. I could tell that he wanted to do what we normally did. I shook my head and sighed. "I've got school tomorrow anyway. I'm going, if that's what you're thinking. I need to continue going so that I can get a job here."
"Well, by the time you graduate, you will be stupid enough to walk into the road and get hit by a bus." He said and I glared at him.
"I'm not disagreeing, but honestly, Hiei. A bus?" I asked sarcastically. He rolled his eyes.
"Yes, not unless you want it to be a cement truck." He smirked and crossed his arms.
"I'll take the bus." I walked to the doorway then paused, looking back at him. "Remember what I said before? I sleep in class. Not unless there's a test or a quiz. Don't worry about it." He snorted.
"As if."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hiei, you can't win again.." I tried in vain to catch up to him in the video game we were playing.
"Yes, I can and I will." Hiei smirked and continued to push buttons on the control paddle. I bit my lip and tried to get away from him. He was now starting to attack me. I got him but he wasn't down for long.
"Dammit." I cursed and scowled. He won again. "That was the fifth one in a row."
"I am the winner."
"No need to brag." I mocked him. He scowled and threw the controller at me. "That wasn't very nice." I dodged it and frowned. "Besides, I haven't played this game in ages."
"Excuses." He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Damn straight."
"Something you're not." I chucked my controller at him. "You're very crooked." I glared at him.
"But you're perfect?"
"Yes."
"Maybe when you're far away." He scowled and stood up, lunging at me. "No fighting in the house!"
"We'll clean the mess up later."
"What if we break a window or something?" I asked with a frown.
"As if I'm going to throw you out the window."
"No, I'm suggesting that I throw you out."
"Try me."
"Okay." I got up and launched a punch at him but he blocked it. We started fighting but then it turned into a pillow fight. "You're gonna break my damn pillows if you keep hitting that hard!" I whacked him as hard as I could and he returned one.
"And your point is..?" He asked, hitting me again. I hit him and he fell off the couch. I started laughing at him as he got up. He threw the pillow at me. "Stop laughing. It wasn't that funny."
"Oh, but it was!" The started ringing and I answered it, still laughing. "Hello?" I just couldn't stop.
"Sounds like you're having a lot of fun." I heard my okaasan's voice on the other end. I slowed down to a chuckle.
"Hiei just fell off the couch. He tripped over the back." I bit my lip to try and stop myself. My sides hurt enough and I had tears in my eyes. It was just so funny. I heard my okaasan laugh a little.
"Tell him I said hello." I looked back at Hiei.
"She says hello.. and that you should pay more attention to where you're falling." I actually added the last part. Okaasan denied the last part and I smirked.
"I know you added it, kit--"
"Shut up, Hiei." I said with a wave of my hand. "There isn't any use denying it." He frowned deeper and shot glares at me every few seconds.
"So, how are you feeling?"
"Fine. How about you? How is the vacation?"
"Good. I'm having a lot of fun." I smiled and she started telling me about all the things she had done so far. I didn't pay any attention until she said my name into the phone. "Suuichi!"
"Sorry, okaasan. I'm just a little tired." I lied. She obviously didn't buy it. There we go again with the no believing my lies.
"Maybe you shouldn't space out anymore. It makes you tired." I smirked.
"Maybe."
"Well, I'll call you tomorrow and check up on you. Will Hiei-kun be there while you're at school?" I looked over at the koorime and he just shrugged.
"I don't know. You can try or something but I doubt he'll be here." We said good-bye and hung up.
"You honestly have a problem." I gave him a confused look. "Of course I won't be here. I'll be doing some training for a while then I'll just nap in the tree near your school."
"Almost like normal?"
"Yeah." He picked up the remote and flicked through the channels. I watched him closely. I didn't want to go deaf again. That was only allowed to happen once. "Why do you have one of these things if you don't watch anything on it?"
"Okaasan used to watch some of her shows. The took all the good stuff off and now they only show junk. It sucks." He nodded once to show he understood.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I checked every hour to make sure he was alive. He was sitting there watching the TV Guide channel run through for the.. I lost count. They kept repeating everything and I just sat there, staring into space.
"Breathing?" I asked, forgetting that every hour thing. It was a half-hour after I was supposed to check, but he just nodded. "Okay."
"This is boring." I looked over at him.
"You can say that again." He turned the TV off and sat there, his eyes closed, and his head lying against the back of the couch. I sighed and stretched. "What do you say we go to bed? I'm up for sleep." He shrugged and I took that as a whatever. That was mostly what it meant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There. All done with the 10th chapter. I tried to add in more Hiei humor, since we all love that! ^_^
