"Kurama I'm sorry. Please do not breathe a word of this. Just ask him about it," I said.
Kurama nodded and I walked out of the kitchen and up, into my room. I laid down on the bed and eventually cried myself to sleep. I woke up the next morning at about 7 to voices talking to each other. I got up off my bed, walked over to my door, and opened it slightly. I could hear Hiei and Kurama talking in Hiei's room which was the room next to mine.
"What was wrong yesterday? Kiri told me to talk to you about it. Why did she look so dejected and why were you comforting her like that?" Kurama asked.
That was the wrong question to ask in my opinion and Kurama had a lot of guts to ask it.
"Hn," was all that Hiei said.
"Hiei I know you better than that for you to just brush me off like that," Kurama replied.
"Why do I care? She's just a baka onna," Hiei retorted.
I closed my door and sat on the floor. I thought he cared, he said he didn't ignore me. He knew I was there but I guess I was wrong. I got up, got changed and walked downstairs only to find Hiei sitting in his windowsill.
I sat on the couch and total ignored him, as he ignored me. I started to tap my fingers on the table. Soon enough even the tapping was annoying me.
"You have to do that?" he asked.
"Hey look you spoke to me. How comforting," I said.
I looked at him. He glared at me but I could see he was hurt in his eyes.
"Great go Kiri. You just ruined everything you worked for," I said to myself quietly.
"Well aren't you two cheery this morning?" Naisu said.
There was a moment of silence again until Yusuke came bounding down the stairs.
"Kiri I heard you were crying on Hiei in the pantry. What were you two doing in there anyway?" he teased.
He didn't wait for me to reply, he wasn't going to, not like I was going to reply anyway.
"I'm out of here. I'll be back later," I said. I got up and walked over to the door. I was about to put my hand on the door knob when I heard a huge crash come from up stairs.
"That came from my room," I said.
I tore upstairs and ran into my room. Sure enough there was a huge hole in the wall now connecting Hiei's room to mine. Botan was slowly sitting up on the floor surrounded by bits and pieces of wall all around her.
"I guess I missed badly didn't I?" she asked, laughing nervously.
Naisu ran from behind me to go help Botan and I stood there shocked at the hole in my wall. After a minute or so Botan was fine and all bouncy again, but I wasn't.
"There's a freaking hole in my wall!" I yelled.
"I think we've established that," Rikku suggested.
The whole day was spent trying to fix the hole with anything, duck tape, planks, and boards. Nothing worked to close the hole.
We went to sleep trying to think of something that would work. I woke up the next morning at around 5.
