Sutaru: I hope you understand how this works. Nothing belongs to me. AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A CELL PHONE!
Che!
Hiei: Yay. She's in pain.
Sutaru: I'll show you pain...
"Explain once more: why we are watching these baka onnas?" The interrogator was a short man with spiky, gravity-defying onyx hair who looked the age of seventeen. Dressed in all black with the exception of a white starburst in his hair and a white head band, he put out the image of someone who did not want to be messed with. His cold, piercing eyes in the color of blood did nothing to dis-prove this image.
The question was directed at a tall, handsome man (that could have passed as a woman if he tried) with long, slightly spiky ruby red hair, and beautiful emerald eyes. He was dressed in a brown jacket over a white tee shirt, and plain blue jeans, and he looked perfectly at home in the chair on the villa of Café Shiruba.
" Because, Hiei, if we do not do the jobs we are assigned, one, Koenma will take you off parole—"
" That wouldn't be a bad thing," Hiei interjected, and Kurama smirked.
" In lieu of jail, and two, these perfectly innocent twins could be placed directly in the face of danger," Kurama finished. " And we'd be arrested," he added. This statement made the elderly woman at the table next to them cast a wary eye at the two and get up to leave.
" There's nothing bad about that, and, besides, there's no special quality about these two." Hiei observed one of the girls--dressed in ripped clothing with way too many bracelets-- they were watching fall to her knees, shrieking loudly. " Except they probably ate glue."
This prompted a laugh from Kurama. " There is something odd about them. I just can't put my finger on it." Kurama tapped his chin thoughtfully with a long finger, and sighed defeatedly. " No matter. I suspect we'll find out soon enough."

" Can we go now!" Uki moaned, who had all but given up at trying to free her wrist from her sister's grip.
" Fine, Uki, go sit at Café Shiruba. I've just gotta pick up curtains for my room, and some paint for the living room, and then I'll be done," Ai sighed heavily, already focusing her red and gold eyes on the next homeware appliance store.
" I'll probably be at home then," Uki grumbled, and was hard put not to leap up and down at the point that she had easily evaded another hour of shopping. She walked with forced calmness to the villa, only to find all the tables were filled. " Excuse me, d'you mind if I sit here?" she asked two boys her age, one short in black, the other laid back with long, vibrant ruby hair.
" No, of course not," the second one answered, for the other did not seem very sociable. He gestured towards the seat in front of him and Uki plopped down.
" Ukime Tomotanshin," she introduced, pressing her red cheeks to the cool glass of the table.
" Suuichi Minamino," the red head replied.
" Hn."
" And Hiei Jaganshi." A gesture to his friend, but Hiei looked like he wanted to bite Suuichi's hand off.
" I know you." Uki gave an evil smile. She bared her teeth at Suuichi. " Minamino. You're the talk of Aisei and Sara High." She placed both hands over her heart and sighed, as if love-sick. " Oh, Suuichi, I love you so much that I made my little brother get green contacts and dye his hair, and made him pose for pictures, which I now have plastered all over my wall and make out with!" One wrist over her pierced brow, she let her head fall to one side, and smirked, a grin which Hiei matched unintentionally.
" Oh, really? I pity your brother," Suuichi said wryly.
" Naw, I don't have a brother. Just a blasted twin," Uki growled. As sudden as she had lapsed into her Hate, she smiled brightly, causing Suuichi to fear for her sanity. " Well, I've gotta go before Ai comes back. Remember Minamino," she warned, wagging a finger, " Those fan girls run fast!"
As thunder broke in the sky, she dug her hands in her pockets, fingers poked out of holes, and strolled off.
" Freak," Hiei muttered as she walked away.
" Freak," she muttered as she walked away.
Sutaru: You likey?
Hiei: I come off as a jerk. I think I'm begining to like you...(grins wickedly)
Kurama: Well, that's never a good thing.
Sutaru: ( Backs away from Hiei slowly) Review please, and I'll have the next one or two chappies up in about a week.
