Lexis unlocked the door and went inside. The boys followed her into the living room. Lexis's aunt was sprawled on the couch, and there was a horror movie on the tv. A sudden sceam woke her up. "I'm up! I'm up! I wasn't sleeping Mr. Takoyu!" Yusuke and Kuwabara were doubbled over laughing, Kurama was respectfully trying not to laugh, Hiei just cocked an eye brow, and Lexis smiled and shook her head. "What are you doing in a house that you thought was empty, with four boys?"
"It's not like that. Dad's home."
"Oh. Turn on a light so I can see you." Yusuke turned on a light. "Wow. I still can't see you. Where are my glasses?"
"On your head."
"Oh, thank you. What happened to you! Are okay, honey!"
"Yeah. I got in a fight. No big deal. Well I'm going to take a shower."
"You can all take one and stay for dinner."
"You can't cook-"
"Yes I can!"
"Not anything edible."
"Ha ha."
"Kurama can cook, and he smells like fresh cut spring flowers."
"I'll cook." Kurama offered.
"Sure knock yourself out."
Lexis used the shower in her room and Hiei used the one in the guest bed room. Lexis got out first, and put on her robe and went to the closet in the hall and got some fresh towels for Hiei. She listened at the door and still heard water running so she snuck in the room and put the towels on the bed. She didn't hear the water turn off. She turned around and saw Hiei standing in the bathroom doorway with his legs crossed. But he didn't have anything on. Lexis turned bright red and held out a towel. "Sorry...I thought you would want some fresh towels...I didn't know...I wouldn't have come in here...Oh God." She was trying not to look down. Hiei smirked and took the towel from her. He wrapped the towel around his waist, and Lexis realized that she hadn't breathed since she saw him in the doorway. "Well...bye." She closed the door to the room behind her. She went to her room and got dressed. She put on a blue short skirt and a light yellow spaghetti strap tank top. Then she combed and brushed her long honey blond hair. When she was finished she went to her door and opened it. Hiei was standing at the door with his hand up as if about to knock.
"I was just wondering if I should knock or walk right in." He smirked when Lexis turned red again.
"Sorry-"
"I think we've already covered that, several times." Hiei pulled her into his arms and kissed her. When he was done he let her go and walked down the stairs.
