Ch.7

-Dinner at Kurama's-

'He still hasn't figured it out... He's trying to and it's driving him crazy, but he still hasn't found out my little secret... Let him try. I'd like to see him fail at figuring out whom he is to marry. It would be amusing, yes, but will I slip up and fall so close to the finish? Only time will tell...'

"Hiei? Are you feeling okay? You had this faraway look in your eyes..." Shiori asked, looking rather concerned.

"I'm fine. Just... thinking. That's all," Hiei answered. He looked up suddenly just noticing that two people were missing. "Where's Suichi and ummm..."

"Oh, my husband has to work later this week. Suichi is at a friend's house for the night," Shiori replied, smiling.

"Hiei... Wow... You remembered my step brother's name... and said more than one word... That's rather impressive," Kurama said, amazed.

Hiei's eye twitched. "I'm not dumb. I know what his name is. I'm here often enough getting bothered by, and bothering, him. Or did you forget that one time I babysat him while you were on vacation," Hiei said, hurt.

Kurama cringed. "Sorry, sorry... I forgot. I'm only human you know," Kurama said, daring Hiei to say otherwise around Shiori.

"Hn. Well, that seems to be the biggest lie I've ever heard... Oops... Did that slip?" Hiei said, with the evil glint in his eye.

Shiori choked on mashed potatoes. "WHAT?!?!?!" she screamed.

"Kurama, care to explain to her? Or shall I?" Hiei asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Mother I'll explain after Hiei leaves," Kurama said.

"Awe... Don't want to yell around me? What a shame. I don't see why you didn't tell her yet. She deserves to know," Hiei thought out loud with a shrug.

"Yeah. I deserve to know and choose whomever I please to marry. I didn't get that chance though. Although you are right. She does deserve to know. Thus why I plan on telling her after you leave Mr. I-Do-As-I-Please," Kurama replied spitefully.

"Yeah, you know me well. I must be going soon though. I have plans. Regina will be waiting for me. Night Shiori, night fox," Hiei said, holding back a grin.

-Genkai's Temple-

Yukina ran to answer the door. As she opened the door she saw Regina who had brought along her duffel bag for the few days she was spending there.

"Hello. May I ask whom you are looking for?" Yukina asked in her usual cheery tone.

"Ummm, yeah. Is Hiei here?" Regi asked.

Yukina's eyes narrowed. "Oh, him. Up the stairs. Last door down the hall," she said icily.

Regina cringed inwardly. 'Did I say something that upset her or something? Or does she just hold this incurable hate towards all girls who come to visit Hiei? Whatever.' She thought as she continued up to Hiei's room.

Hiei heard a knock on the door, knowing already that it was Regina.

"Come in Regina," he said.

Regi walked in. "Ummm, I think I might have pissed Yukina off just a bit. She seemed extremely angry when I asked for you..." she said, cringing as she said it.

"It's okay. She's already pissed at me so it doesn't matter. You brought the stuff right?" Hiei said, unfazed.

"Oh!! Yeah, right here," Regi said, as she brought out the wedding supplies she had been assigned to bring.

"Thank you! You are such a lifesaver. I don't know how I survived without you!" Hiei gushed, hugging Regina out of pure joy.

'So Hiei has got stuff going for that little witch... Wouldn't that just break poor Kurama's heart. To think that his love for the past few years is really a woman and is in love with another woman. Ha! Just wait until I call him!!!' Yukina thought as she sat in the kitchen seething over the new woman who had come for her older sister.

Yukina picked up the phone and dialed Kurama's number. "Ah yes... Is Shuichi there? -Silence as the person on the phone got Kurama- Hey Kurama? Yeah... It's an emergency. Get here as soon as you can.
