A Brightly Lighted Room

Hiei woke up to blinding lights. "What the..."

"Morning sleeping beauty. Sleep long enough?" Yusuke said.

"What the fuck. Yusuke where am I?" Hiei asked not noticing that she was still a girl.

"KoEnma's place. How do you know my name?" Yusuke asked curiously.

"...............No comment," Hiei answered realizing her mistake.

KoEnma walked in right then. "Heya there Hi... Hikura." KoEnma said.

'Phew... that was a close one.' He thought.

"Hi your royal diaper pants. You mind telling me why you kidnapped me?" Hiei asked.

"You were being followed by very naughty demons who wanted you for naughty reasons... Must have found out your secret, huh?" KoEnma said giggling as he said it.

"Bite me. Hard. That's not funny. I can take care of myself you know. I don't need you watching over me like I'm a pet kitten. I'm not helpless," Hiei replied glaring.

"...Are you so sure on that one? You act like one. Especially around Kurama..." KoEnma said slyly.

"..................DIE BASTARD!!!!! WHAT? DO YOU PEEP ON ME IN THE SHOWER TOO?!" Hiei screeched.

"...............No. Why would I do that? You're not that good looking. I prefer to spy on Botan," KoEnma said shutting up immediately afterwards.

"That's sick. Why don't you just date her already? I can tell she's diggin' you," Yusuke said.

"You should be talking detective. What do you call what you do to Keiko? Is that not known as molesting?" Hiei asked severely pissed because of KoEnma.

"...............How would you know that I'm a spirit detective? And what do you know about me and Keiko?" Yusuke asked curiously.

"I- I- I- I found out from KoEnma. He told me everything," Hiei said hurriedly.

"Uh... Yeah. I told her everything..." KoEnma said covering for Hiei.

"WHAT??!! WHAT DID YOU ALL TELL HER? AND WHAT ABOUT HER AND KURAMA!??" Yusuke yelled.

"THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUISNESS! I CAN TELL HER WHAT I WANT!! DON'T EVEN TRY TO SAY THAT I CAN'T!!!" KoEnma yelled back.

"Okay. I'm leaving now. Buh bye all you crazy nutters. I'll be back some day. Later," Hiei said as she left the room.

-Kurama's House-

"Shuichi! Your friend is here! Come in Hiei," Shiori said as she opened the door.

"Thanks Shiori," Hiei said as Kurama came running down the stairs.

"Oh Hiei! It's you! I thought it might be Yusuke or Kuwabara here to pick on me a little more," Kurama said as he saw Hiei.

"About what? Your roses again?" Hiei said as Shiori left the room.

"No. I have to get married. There's two months to go until the wedding. I've needed to talk to you, but you're never around. Would you please be my best man? You're my best friend and if I have to get married I want you to be there," Kurama said.

"In two months? I'm going to be in another wedding then... I may be able to make it to yours though. I can't guarantee I'll be there so I can't be your best man. The most I can guarantee is that I may be there," Hiei said.

"But- but- but- I'm your best friend... Who is more important than me? You can't possibly leave me to marry a girl I don't even know without you there! That's not possible...you wouldn't... You couldn't...How could you even consider not being able to be there?" Kurama said in a panic.

Hiei's eyes flashed fire at those words. "I am more important than you are for some things. I have a wedding. That wedding is with the one I love. Yes. I would put myself before you for some things. We may be best friends, but you do not own me nor do I own you. I will TRY to be there. That is all I can do. If that isn't enough then kiss off. I will leave you to your thoughts if you want to hold things like that against me."

"No! Hiei, I'm sorry. I'm just a little down in the dumps right now. I wasn't ready for commitment," Kurama admitted.

"Oh, please... Spare me. Like I care to sympathize people for what they don't want. Believe me Kurama... Committing your self to one person doesn't leave you down in the dumps... Wallowing in self-pity does. Remember that... As advice from a close friend..." Hiei replied.

"............"

"Trust one who knows, but I suppose I'll stay here. I owe your mother that much," Hiei said.

"......... Why do you owe my mother staying for dinner?" Kurama asked.

"Although you have my deepest respect, that is none of your business," Hiei answered.

"You are such a bastard, Hiei. It's like you two know something I don't," Kurama said.

"I know more than you give me credit for, fox."

'Psycho!!!!'

"Boys! Dinner's done!" Shiori yelled from the kitchen.

Hiei gave Kurama one last glance before he walked into the dining room. Kurama followed not long afterwards.

TBC...
