Hello everybody… anybody wonder why I always say that? Anyways Sorry it took me so long to update this story I have other stories and I kind of got into them and forgot so… well I'm giving you the chapter now and that's all that matters!

Chapter 16: Christmas time part3

Everybody started to rummage threw the tree, everybody including Ash, Kurama, the two idiots, Yukina, Kayko, Kianna, and Botan.

Finally after a few minutes Hiei watched as Yukina took his gift. When a few tears were heard everyone stopped and looked at the ice demon.

She read the engraving aloud to everyone and Kurama inconspicuously smirked at Hiei. She opened the box and took the item inside, it was her older brother's tear gem he felt she should have it.

(Nobody get mad or anything at me for what I got Kurama it was the only thing I could think of at the time!)

Next came Kurama who had also taken Hiei's box, opening the lid his eyes went wide at what was inside.

Hiei already knew what was inside and so did everyone else when a silver blur jumped out towards Kurama.

"It's a fox kit!" Hiei smirked evilly at his odd sense of humor, he had chosen a kitsune because he felt that's what Kurama needed was a sidekick as cunning as him.

Hiei finally pulled Ash over to the windowsill while everyone else was distracted by the little kitsune.

"Ash," he started making up his words as he went, "I love you more then words can describe." Ash bit her top lip to suppress the tears that so wanted to fall.

"I'm… I'm not used to ningen customs but maybe this can explain itself." He took out the box and opened it up facing her.

She covered her mouth to stifle either a loud gasp or a shriek, inside lay a ring. (I think it was Hieifan666 who figured this out… how I don't know but they did!)

It was pure silver with three gems on it two blue on the outside and a black one in the middle.

"The silver is made from Yoko hairs formed into silver." Ash cut in, "and the gems are amethyst and onyx right?"

Hiei smirked, "No koi, in the Makai there is a type of demon called Koorime, when they cry there tears become these stones, tear gems." He pointed to the two blue on the outside.

"Then what's the middle one?"

"I am… was a Koorime as I think I told you before, but I was of fire not ice when I cried the tears become these stones. I cried this stone for you Ash because I realized that I will never be able to do anything demons get to do with you like show you the Makai."

Ash held her tears back she refused to cry in front of him but came forward hugging and kissing him, then she took the ring and put it on her ring finger."

"It's made for you and you alone." He finished as Ash went to the tree and came back carrying a long narrow box.

"I got something for you to but it's not nearly as good as what you made me." She explained as he smirked and opened the box.

Inside lay a brand knew katana, Hiei took it out and examined it over. The hilt was of fine leather for a better grip; the sheath had a red dragon going around it.

He unsheathed the blade being blinded for a moment as it caught the suns rays. Near the hilt of the blade was the words 'honor' written in Kanji.

"It's beautiful Ash!" He said sheathing it again.

"I-." Hiei cut her off

"No, I love you Ash." Before she could reply he took her into a soft, passionate kiss. They were finally broken by Yusuke's voice, "He's back les then an hour and yet he can still make out with Ash." Hiei stood up and walked over to the detective.

"Yusuke I may be human but I'm not deaf now if you don't shut your mouth somehow I will be forced to painfully do it for you." He explained the tone in his voice enough to scare Yusuke and Kuwabara out of the room.

He let out a breath and went to the door, "By the way how did you come back?" Kuwabara asked peaking around the wall.

"That's none of your business." He went out the door and down onto into the middle of the temple's court.

"What does it feel like to be the one thing you despise most?" Came Kurama's voice from behind, he turned to see the red head walking toward him the little fox right beside him.

"I feel like I'm missing something."

"You'll get over it after a while." Kurama explained standing beside him and looking up into he endless blue sky.

"I don't know how to be human Kurama."

"Sure you do it's exactly like being a demon only you can't come in threw the window… or jump out of the window… and you can't kill anyone or go to the Makai." That made Hiei turn.

"Why?"

"Well just think what some demons would do if they knew you were a human they would be all over you trying to kill you and besides I doubt Koenma would let you."

"I hate this already."

"I figured you would at least you got what you came back for." He said walking away, when Hiei turned to look at him he saw Ash standing not far behind him.

Ash took her turn up to the used-to-be fire demon and smiled at him, "You know it doesn't matter if your demon or human."

Hiei's P.O.V

I didn't understand it why was everyone trying to change my opinion? Sure I loathed Humans more then anything else in all the three worlds but they didn't have to remind me of it.

I got what I wanted, now what, what purpose did I have here… maybe just to be with her I don't know and I probably never will but I will still try and find some meaning for myself to be human if it kills me.

"I know what will cheer you up!" Ash stated a smile brightening her face. It was almost impossible to believe that she had tried to commit suicide only a few days back.

"Our school was holding a Christmas Dance tonight I think we should go, it would be fun!" She explained I didn't exactly like the idea of being in a room full of ningens but I felt I needed to do this for her.

"I'll only go if everyone else goes." Yes I would go but if I was going down I would bring all of them down with me!

"Okay then let's go ask them!" She grabbed my hand sudden heat flowing threw my arm, I wonder if my touch always felt like this?

Even so we ran back into the house were everyone sat around either talking or messing with something they had been given.

"Hey guys I have a question!" Ash shouted which quickly shut everyone up effectively. "Kurama and my school is holding a Christmas Dance anyone want to go?" She explained.

A few nods went around the room and Yusuke stood up I had to wonder why he always had to be the leader or the spokesperson of all of us.

"Yeah of coarse we'll go!"

So after about ten minutes of talking about it, it was decided that we would all go at 6 and seeing as it was something we all had to dress up formal to we had to start and get ready for now.

I was starting to have a bad feeling about all of this.

A/N: I absolutely love doing chapters like this! Well what did everyone think? Please review!
