Hiei's Jaded Dragon: "Hi peoples. I'm in a pretty good mood probably cause I've got a 4-day weekend. Party! Yeah I've ate like three boxes of Halloween peeps so I'm totally hyper and crazy."
Hiei: "Oh-uh. If you're crazy than that means more pain for me. I better hide those peeps now." He runs off with peeps."
Me: "Shows how much you know Hiei. I still have two Hershey's bars and some skittles. You can never take all my sweets for I am the candy women. Mahahahaha . . . cough cough cough. I better practice on my evil laugh again. While I practice you read. Oh and Yusuke could you say the disclaimer since Hiei ran off?"
Yusuke: "Sure babe. Hiei's Jaded Dragon owns nothing so don't sue thinking you'll get stuff. She only owns Talia, her random thoughts, and way too many sweets."
Alex: "So your reviewer #10. Your review wouldn't show up last chapter. And I'll update soon."
Jessica: "Awesome? I like the word. I'll add more A.S.A.P."
Boton-Hiei-Daughter: A rock with a note attached is thrown back at you. It says: "Talia is a hanyou (Half demon half human and I think I spelled it wrong.) And thanks for giving me my first update threat."
LeaMarie F. Rocket: "Thanks for the compliment and I'll update as fast as my little hands can type."
kg-rose: "It's get even more interesting. . ."
IssueshaveI: "You think it's awesome and it rocks . . . cool. But since you're not a big Hiei fan are you a Kurama fan? Personally I like all the characters except Koenma. I don't know why though. Oh hope you really do look for my fic each time. Bye."
AnonymousHieiFan: "Thanks." I hand you a Hiei plushy.
Kira: "If you have trouble thinking up ideas and details just image you're the character and do what you'd do in their position. And for a good fic idea, find something that interests you. But if all else fails, hit yourself on the head with a giant hammer and maybe something will come to you. It always works for me. Hehe."
Hiei-lonewolf: "Yep Hiei is in deep dog shit. Talia does go along with it and I'm assuming you want her to enjoy the acting bit cause that's pretty much what happens and it's totally crazy."
anime gurl: 'Thanks and I will defiantly continue."
Jessica aka Jesse: "Guys never fully think things through. So Hiei's last minute ideas add suspense and realism. Basically he and Talia are going to wing it but he does eventually confess the truth to Yukina except it's for a different reason."

/Telepathy/
(Author's comment)
Meanwhile Back At The Dojo:
The girls and Genkai found what happened to be very suspicious. Those who knew of Hiei's and Yukina's relation were upset he didn't say he was her brother (A.K.A. Botan, Shizuru, Genkai, and Yukina), Keiko was a little confused, and Kuwabara had fainted from shock.
"That was strange and unexpected. But why would Hiei have a mate and not mention her ever?" Says Botan.
"I know what you mean. He isn't the most romantic type of guy. We should have gone with Yusuke and Kurama to see him look like an ass." Replies Shizuru while smoking a cigarette.
"Well at least this will be good for a laugh." Says Genkai -I need to talk to the ones who know about Hiei's relation to Yukina. But how to get Keiko and Yukina out of the room? Kuwabara isn't important seeing as though he's unconscious but what to do?-
"Um Keiko would you please help me get Kazuma in a room so he can recover?" asks Yukina. -This way I can talk to those who don't know of the situation. I know that if either Keiko or Kazuma knew, they'd tell me. Since they are clueless about everything and my brother believes they don't know anything, I can use them to help with my scheme. If I were to tell the others, Hiei would find out because I know he sometimes reads their minds with his Jagan.-
"Sure Yukina. You must be going through a lot. I mean you need Hiei because he's a demon but you love Kuwabara. That decision must be really hard." Replies Keiko as her and Yukina drag Kuwabara to an empty room.
They manage to lift Kuwabara onto the bed and Yukina goes and locks the door. She then uses her ice powers to make her hand extremely cold and shakes Kuwabara awake.
"NO Yukina my love you can't be with shorty. He's evil and I love you." Shouts Kuwabara as he abruptly awakens.
"Calm down Kazuma. I don't want Hiei to be my mate." Says Yukina. -Silly guy.-
"Huh? But I thought you said you did Yukina." exclaims Keiko. -What does she mean she doesn't want Hiei for a mate after she just asked him to be hers? What is she thinking?-
"I'm confused." Says the Baka.
"Well I was lying. See ever since I was little, a strong aura always watched over me. I had the feeling that the aura belonged to my brother and Hiei's aura matches that of my brother. I wanted him to admit he was my long lost brother so I cooked up this whole 'mate' thing to get him to confess. Kazuma I love you not my brother. Don't tell the others any of this since Hiei reads their minds because they know the truth. But Hiei threatened to kill them if they told me or anyone else. How they know is still a mystery to me. So I want you two to help me complete my plan into getting Hiei to confess. I know he doesn't have a mate but if he somehow manages to show up with one, I want you two to help me put an end to his lying." States the crafty Koorime.
"Whoa Yukina I never knew you were that tricky. Guess your brother rubbed off on you." Says Keiko.
"Wait shorty is your brother?! That means if I marry you I'll be related to him?" Says the idiot before fainting again.
"Kazuma! Are you alright?" Asks Yukina with concern as she waves her hand in front of his face to wake him up.
Back With The Guys:
"Kurama what just happened? The girl was acting like she really likes Hiei and he didn't tell her to act or anything. We've been with them the whole time so how unless she really is his mate?" Says Yusuke.
"I don't know. I've been making sure there was no telepathic link between them so he can't have asked her to do or say anything that would help them look like a couple. The way she acted and talked around him would lead most to believe that their together. She said she missed him and was bored without him. And then she said she quit her last job because she had no time for him and because she didn't want Hiei to beat her boss up for hitting on her. Why would Hiei beat up a guy for hitting on that girl without her being important to him? There are only two reasons why: 1-he likes her or 2- He's controlling her since there's no way he had time to tell her to put on an act. I'm going with the latter of the two. When we get to Genkai's, I'm going to scan her mind to make sure Hiei isn't using his Jagan on her." Answers the smart fox.
(He can't use his communicator on her now because they're at a ningen arcade.)
"Yeah it has to be that, 'cause why would a total babe be Hiei's mate? I mean he's not ugly or anything but he's got an attitude. If I picture him doing something romantic or on a date, I'll crack up. . . Hahahaha. Whoa that's too funny." Says Yusuke with a grin.
"Your right, it is funny. . ." says Kurama as he starts to laugh.
In The Staff Room :
The two walk casually to the back of the arcade and enter a door that says: "Keep out Authorized Personal Only." Talia shuts the door and they sit down at a table.
"Hiei what's going on? You've been acting kinda funny." Remarks Talia
"Well um you know my sister Yukina? The one who doesn't know I'm her brother? See she asked me to be her mate but I can't because we're related and I can't say no cause it'll hurt her feelings so I said I already have a mate but I don't. And I was wondering if you could pretend to be my mate just long enough to fool her and the people I work with? Hehe." Says Hiei while blushing.
". . . WHAT?! Hiei how could his happen!? This is madness pure utter madness! I uh wouldn't know how to be your mate, I um uh . . ." says Talia -No wonder he was acting so weird. Oh my god. How can he ask me to do such a thing? This is strange beyond belief. Why would his sister be attracted to him? I know he's not ugly and he is muscular . . . wait EW he's my friend how can I possibly think like this?-
"Please Talia? You're the only one I know who can give a believable lie and I already intruded you to them and I said you were so PLEASE?" Exclaims Hiei as he gives Talia the big watery eye trick including the puppy dog whimper. (I bet that with those big ruby eyes Hiei could give one mean puppy dog pout.)
"Oh Hiei that's not fair. You know I can't resist the puppy dog pout and you even did the whimper. And that's my trick, not yours." Says Talia. -He's cheating using that look. No one can refuse the look. Damn I can't believe I'm going to go along with this.-
"Whimper whimper sniffle sniffle. . . .Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeee?" asks Hiei. -I pray she goes along with this cause if doesn't I'm more than screwed. I'd look stupider than the baka and I didn't even know that was even possible. -
"Ok FINE!. God how do we get ourselves into such trouble? So um we're going to need to come up with excuses for me never meeting them and how we meet and stuff . . ." says Talia
So the 'Couple' stats coming up with a big cover story. Hiei also explains the entire situation in detail. They talk for about ten minutes and then return to Kurama and Yusuke.
"Hn it's 5, we can leave and go to the temple." Remarks Hiei.
The four exit the arcade and head home. On the way Kurama asks Talia all the questions he asked Hiei. Surprisingly, he gets almost all of them right. Until Talia gets feed up with the fox's curious nature and screams: "WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP?! I'M GETTING A HEADACHE! WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE QUESTIONS ANYWAY?!"
"Hn, the kitsune asked me the same ones earlier. He's checking them to make sure we're really mates." mentions Hiei. -Ha stupid fox. I am smarter than you. There's no way you'll catch me lying. This idea is too good to mess up.-
Everyone then turns their head towards Yusuke, who has broken out into a fit of the giggles.
"Detective why are you laughing like a fool again?" questions Hiei.
I'm laughing cause she screamed at Kurama just like you did. For a moment she acted like you. Hahahaha." Answers Yusuke.
The walk back continues in silence until they reach the temple. Yusuke opens the door they and is greeted by everyone except a fainted Baka. Talia is standing in the back so no one can see her.
"Just like I thought Hiei has no mate. He was lying so he could get out of this mess without having to do anything. What a jerk." States Boton. -How cruel can a guy get? He could have told her he was her brother and avoided looking like a meanie.-
"Hiei wasn't lying and I'd prefer it if you didn't call my mate a jerk." Announces Talia as she steps from behind the boys.
"Uh, I'm sorry but are you Talia?" Asks Boton. -He has a mate! What did he do bribe her or use mind control on her? -
"Yes my name is Talia. And who might the rest of you be?" She asks.
"This is Genkai, Shizuru, Keiko, Yukina, I'm Boton, Kuwabara is asleep, and you've already meet Yusuke and Kurama and you certainly know Hiei." Exclaims Boton in her happy bubbly voice.
At that very moment Kurama gets his communicator, turns it on, and points it at Talia's head. It emits a glowing green light. The communicator then stops glowing and a red X appears on its screen.
"No this can't be?" Exclaims Kurama.
"What can't be?" Asks Yusuke.
"I just did a brain scan on Talia and the communicator said she's not being controlled. Earlier, she was acting like Hiei's girlfriend without him even telling her do so telepathically or by word of mouth. Even before he had a moment alone with her, she was acting like his girlfriend. That could only mean one thing . . . she really is his mate!" Exclaims Kurama.
"Kurama what in hell did you just do to Talia?" Asks Hiei.
"I thought you were controlling her so I scanned her mind. Funny huh?" Answers the fox sheepishly.
"Kurama who the hell gave you permission to scan my brain? That is my head and you and you stay out of it. I don't even let Hiei read my mind, so why would I let you?" Says Talia.
"Um, I'm terribly sorry. That was extremely rude of me." Answers Kurama with his head hung low.
"Sorry is pretty lame. . ." Says Talia before she is interrupted by Boton.
"What do you mean sorry isn't good enough?! What's he supposed to do bow down?" Yells Boton. -What an attitude. No wonder Hiei's with her.-
"I'm not referring to him probing my brain. The sorry was good enough for that. I was talking about how he and the rest of you treat Hiei." Replies Talia.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Asks a confused Yusuke.
"You probed my mind to make sure Hiei wasn't controlling me, right. He said I was his mate and if you're truly his friends then you should believe him. Do you have such little faith in him that you'd believe he'd control someone? And why am I here in the first place Hiei? You specifically told me to tell no one of our relationship ever. And now I'm here to prove that you actually have a mate? Since when do friends have to prove things to one another? A real friend believes you regardless of how unlikely your story sounds. Some friends." Comments Talia with a calm yet spiteful tone.
Her little speech made everyone feel bad except Yukina.
-She's good. Real good. She put everybody on a guilt trip but I don't believe for one second that she's my brother's mate. She's crafty . . . my job just got harder. Oh well I have the upper hand seeing as though I know the truth and they have no idea I know everything.- Thinks Yukina.
"It's not that we don't trust Hiei, it's just that it's so hard to believe he has a mate especially since he never mentions you at all." Says Shizuru.
"He doesn't talk about me or I about him for my safety. If one of Hiei's enemies knew about me they'd capture me and use me to beat him or at least lure him into a trap. I'm only a low C class at best. A real fighter would be able to take me down easy." Remarks Talia.
"Then why not at least tell us? Doesn't he trust us?" Replies Yukina with a hurt tone. (Remember she's acting too.) -Let's see her get out of this one.-
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I'm afraid someone will probe your mind and get the information. All of Makai knows I work with you guys and if they needed to find a weak point in my power, they'd check your minds. I have the Jagan to protect me from mind readers but the rest of you are defenseless in that regard. So I couldn't risk it." Answers Hiei.
"Well now that's that said can I go home?" Asks Talia.
"No you must stay, we insist. I'm making a great spaghetti dinner tonight and we can get to know each other better." Says the little ice maiden. -Oh they're tricky. I'll have to figure out some way to make them screw up.-
"Ok fine then." Replies Talia. -Yum, free food. It's just dinner; I can pull this lie off for a few more hours. Plus it makes our story seem more believable, like we don't have anything to hide. -
"How'd you like it so far? I should warn you though, this might contain some dirty humor later and the rating may go up. Please review. Bye"
