I walked upstairs and into my room, not even bothering to change out of my clothes. I climbed onto the bed, and pulled down the covers. I lay down under them and almost immediately fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up at about 8, which is really late for me. I got changed into different clothes and walked downstairs. Hiei was sitting in the windowsill speaking with Kurama, who was sitting on the couch.
"Good morning," I said a bit sleepily.
Hiei turned and looked out the window again.
"Good morning," Kurama replied.
"Anything you guys need while I'm going in the kitchen? Breakfast, coffee maybe?" I asked.
"We usually get our own breakfast but coffee would be nice," Kurama said.
I turned to Hiei, "what about you?"
"Coffee, black," he replied.
I shrugged and went into the kitchen. I sat on the counter while the coffee was brewing. Once it was done I poured one for me, one for Kurama, and one for Hiei. I walked out of the kitchen handed Kurama his and gave the black one to Hiei. Then I sat down on the couch with my cups, wrapping my hands around it for warmth.
"So what happened after I went to sleep?" I asked, trying to start up some sort of conversation.
"Nothing really," Kurama replied.
After getting no other reaction for a while I just sat there. I figured they weren't going to continue talking until I left.
"I'm going upstairs to clean up a bit and wake everyone up" I stated.
I set the coffee mug down on the table. Kurama nodded and Hiei ignored me, still. I sighed and walked up the stairs. I knocked on the first door and opened it, it was Yusuke's room.
The lights were off and I saw a lump on the bed. I sighed, again, turned on the light, went over to the window, and opened it. The morning breeze came rushing in the room.
"Yusuke? You never get up this early," a voice complained from the bed.
Rikku sat up just as Yusuke came out of the bathroom. The voice had startled me and I fell backward, over something on the floor, and out the open window.
I fell to the ground and lay there for a second or two. I eventually got up and brushed myself off. I walked to the front door and knocked on it. I heard someone running downstairs to get the door. As soon as the door opened I fell into the house and whoever had opened the door had caught me before I fell. I looked up only to find Hiei looking down at me.
We looked at each other a moment longer when Kurama and Naisu came out of the kitchen. Hiei immediately dropped me and retreated to his windowsill. I landed on the same sore spot from falling out of the window.
