I leaned back on the couch, pulling Botan with me. She was on top of me. I smiled at her and she smiled back. She leaned down and kissed me. I didn't protest, finding it pleasant. I heard the door open then slam shut and sat up quickly. She moved off me and sat there, staring at the doorway.
"Remind me never to tag along with that moron and my sister ever again." Despite the fact that he ruined our romantic mood, I was glad to see him. "I have a headache. Do you have anything of use?"
"There are some aspirin in the cupboard." Botan said. She stood up and went into the kitchen. I glanced at her, watching her leave.
"Did I interrupt anything?" Hiei smirked. He knew. "I did." I felt my face get hot. He grinned. "You sly fox." He elbowed me.
"Shut up." I mumbled, elbowing him back. "When are you going to like someone? I can't live forever."
"What do you mean by that?" He was offended.
"I plan on seeing you mated." He snorted.
"As if." I grinned and punched his arm. "You're going to have to be living an eternity if you think I'm going to like someone. I am never going to get mated. Women are so annoying."
"Hmm.. right." He punched my arm. "You will, undoubtedly, get turned down if you have that attitude."
"I will not get turned down because I have no one I want to mate." I grinned at him. "Don't make me beat that stupid ass grin off your face." I gave him a hurt look.
"Here are your aspirins, Hiei." Botan came back in and handed him the small pills with a glass of water. "I suggest you lay down." I snorted.
"Right." She looked over at me. "This is Hiei. His headache will be gone in an hour." She slapped my arm.
"Oh, leave him alone."
"Why? He never leaves me alone."
"You know you don't want me to." He smirked at me and walked toward the kitchen, taking the glass to the sink. "And its so much fun to annoy you."
"Something you're oddly good at." I crossed my arms. Botan stared at us then shook her head.
"I have a meeting with Koenma in the morning. Obviously, I need some sleep." She walked up the stairs. "Keep the noise down, if you would."
"Fine by me." I huffed. "You had to come in at that time-"
"Put a cork in it." I glared at Hiei as he sat down on the couch then laid down, putting his arms behind his head. "Have a lovely night." I rolled my eyes.
"Sleep well." I said sarcastically.
"No need to get hostile."
"I wasn't." I said indignantly. "Did you see the accident?"
"Maybe.." He looked at me thoughtfully. "There was a smashed up red car embedded in a telephone pole." He shrugged.
"Damn it."
"No electricity?"
"No."
"Seems a lot better." I shrugged and sat down on the edge of the couch. "More like old times."
"In the dark?"
"With candles. In your cave." I nodded. "I miss that cave."
"I'm sure Kuronue is taking good care of it." He shrugged.
"Lucky bastard." I stared at him solemnly. He wanted to go back, but he didn't. He wouldn't leave and he told me that.
"You could go back." He looked up at me. "You just seem to miss it so much." He raised an eyebrow.
"Trying to get rid of me, kitsune?" I shook my head and he nodded. "I need sleep. Get out of my room."
"This isn't your room."
"I'm sleeping in here right now, so it is."
"Whatever. Make sure you blow the candles out." He nodded and I went up to my room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dark clouds formed in the sky and a gentle rain fell from the sky. I was reminded of a day for funerals. Gloomy and somehow sad.
"This reminds me of a movie that I saw earlier this morning." Hiei stated. "It was one of those predict-the-end-before-it-even-starts kind of movie."
"I hate those." I said with a nod. "Can you remember the name so that we don't bother watching it again?" He thought for a minute.
"No." He shrugged. "It wasn't very important." I smiled slightly.
"Was there even a part worth watching?" He shrugged.
"I was only flicking. They were in a conversation that seemed very.. stupid. So I turned it off." I laughed.
"You seriously need to train or something. I don't think you want to sit there on the couch as if you were.. *cough* lazy *cough*." I looked around. Hiei rolled his eyes when I looked back at him.
"I am not lazy. I'm training today while you're at brain-fry academy."
"Hey!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stared at my teacher. This was not happening to me. I had to participate in this stupid little gym contest against other schools. No damn way.
"Training will begin. You can bring in anyone you like. Today at 5 be here." I looked around. There were only six others in on this. This is not my life.. This is not my life.. This is not my life..
"I didn't know you wanted to do something like this, Suuichi." Just my luck. Damn.. this just isn't my day! A cheerleader. No! Not me! Leave me alone.
"Yeah, well, now you do." I snapped. I wasn't in a very good mood, let's just put it like that. I would need to ask Hiei to come with me.
"Is anything wrong?" The girl asked. I ignored her and stood there, brooding.
"Go away." I noticed she was there and I glared at her. I wanted so badly to walk away from her. I could, but then she'd just follow me.
"You can't mean that, Suuichi-kun.." I then thought that walking away would be best. I started to walk. I was right. She did follow me. I gave her a look as if to say 'leave-me-alone'. This is not my life.. I sighed and opened the door. It was about to be a very bad week for me.
"Hey there, Suuichi." Minako waved at me. I stopped and stared at her. I didn't think she'd talk to me after.. Youko.
"Mina.." I blinked. She smiled cheerfully. She handed me a paper. Maybe she was talking to me so.. Ryu and Mai soon joined up. I looked down at the paper. It was a flier for the gym thing.
"Its good to see you back to your normal self again." Ryu said with a grin. "You could've told me. It wouldn't have changed anything."
"Other than the fact that you don't trust me as you used to." I narrowed my eyes at him. "I am back to myself. It feels.. not whole but wrong."
"That's because this isn't your true self. Its almost like a lie." Minako said in a soft tone. I shook my head.
"But it isn't a lie. This is what I would look like if I were human." I sighed. "You're right again, as always." I ruffled her hair.
"Hey! You're not that much older than me!"
"I'm way older than you. I can do what I want." I teased. They stared at me. Minako pushed me away from her and pouted.
"Then you're as annoying as an older brother." I snorted.
"Riiight." She glared at me. "I'm not your older brother. Besides, who would want a sister that takes one hour to do their hair?"
"Jerk." She huffed. I laughed and patted her on the back. "You're one of a kind, Suuichi." Grinning, I looked at all of my friends.
"I know." We walked to class together and I felt better. It was always good to have friends to pull you out of a slump. Especially when you know that this contest was simple and that you could do it in your sleep.
"Why weren't you happy about the contest?" Mai asked.
"Well, I want a challenge. I don't think a challenge is something you could do in your sleep." They all laughed. "Well, its true!" I looked at all of them and narrowed my eyes.
"We believe you, its just, you've said those things all your life. Or, as long as we've known you." I smiled slightly. They knew me, demon form or no.
"Then, if you know that, you know me through and through." This wasn't as bad a day as I thought.

That's all for now. Until the next one!
