Solaris: Me no own YYH. This is the continuation to the previous chapter. Oh, and if you can't tell what the titles of the chapters are, ask me in an e-mail or a review. Well, read on! Chapter 5: I'm not cold, leave me alone!
----------------------------
As soon as the camper door was locked, Foxglove got a blanket and tried to drape it over Solaris's shoulders. She pushed it off, sat on her bed, and glared at her muse, who had done nothing to deserve her fury except being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"I DON'T NEED A DAMNED BLANKET, BAKA! I'M NOT COLD, I WAS KIDNAPPED BY DELUSIONAL NUNS! IF ANYTHING, I SHOULD BE TRAUMATIZED! BUT I'M NOT SO THAT'S THAT! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!" Solaris shouted, throwing the keys to the car at Hiei. "Take the damned keys and go sleep in the car! I need a bodyguard in case those nuns return and I know you'd rather sleep in the car anyway! Just take Foxglove with you so I don't have to FREAKING MURDER HER, DAMMIT!" Hiei took the keys all too gladly, pulled the muse out of the camper by her tail, and ran to the car. Kurama re-locked the door and went to sit on the edge of Solaris's bed just as Solaris laid down.
"Solaris, do you want to talk about it?" he asked. She simply turned over and 'hn'-ed. "Someone has hung out with Hiei for too long. Come on, tell me what's wrong." he gently said, trying to get a few answers out of the foxgirl.
"Well, the kidnapping by NUNS might just be the problem!" Solaris said furiously. Kurama leaned over her, ignoring Youko's suggestions. (A/N: Youko has broken into Solaris's room several times in the origins story already, and each time Hiei has had to drag him out of there by the shirt. By the way, her origins are almost finished.) Her eyes were closed, and he could see tears at the edges. He laid beside her, trying to comfort her as best as he could. "And my stupid, persistent muse..." she trailed off. Then she realized that one of her best friends was lying behind her. "Uhm, what are you doing?" she asked.
"Trying to comfort you. So whatever's wrong, just say it." he said softly. Her breathing became a little ragged, it was a side effect of her slight fear of Youko's ways. But she did start talking.
"I don't get the whole blanket thing. If you fall into a lake in the middle of winter or get locked in a freezer, that I could understand. But it's summer, and I was kidnapped. So what was with the blanket? In a situation like this, I don't need a blanket, I need a hug. But little miss gotta-be-independent-so-Hiei-will-like-me doesn't get that." Solaris said, her breathing returning to normal.
"So all people in situations like yours need are hugs?" Kurama asked.
"Yeah."
"So if I hugged you like this, you'd feel better..." he said as he held Solaris close. She smiled a little; it was making her feel better.
"Yeah..." she breathed softly. Pretty soon her breathing was softer, and Kurama could tell that she had fallen asleep. He smiled; by morning, she'd be better, back to her normal hyperactive self.
The next morning, Hiei got out of the car and stretched. He was really missing the house and his soft bed. Soon he noticed a sheet of red hair watching him from the car. Foxglove was smiling at him. "What?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing. Cutie." she grinned deviously. "Hey, have you noticed what time it is?" she asked.
"No, I just woke up. Why?" Hiei asked, treading back over to the car just in time to hear the song on the radio finish and the D.J talk.
"Hey, it's 8:45 in the A.M! I'm..." the radio said before Foxglove cut the ignition.
"Yeah, so it's 15 until 9, so? I've never seen Solaris get out of bed before 9 before. Unless it was to clobber me with a plushie for listening to MTV too loud, but she went back to bed and back to sleep right after that, so it doesn't count. Either way, it's not unusual." Hiei said.
"Boy, are you oblivious to everything when you watch MTV! She's started waking up at 7:30 to get back in shape. Kendo exercises and such. She's been doing this for about three weeks now. I've never seen her break this pattern except that one day that the batteries in her alarm clock burned out." Foxglove said, leaning out the window. Hiei simply sat down in the back of the car. Foxglove turned to face him. "Well?"
"Well what?" Hiei asked. He had his suspicions that Foxglove wanted him to go find out what was wrong.
"Well aren't you going to go see what's wrong?"
"They probably locked the door again, so no. I am not busting down the door of that camper." Hiei sighed. Foxglove picked up a paper clip from the change holder behind the emergency brake.
"I never said you had to. I can pick the lock. C'mon, aren't you the least bit curious?" she smiled. Hiei had to admit, he did have a slight curiosity. So he watched as Foxglove picked the lock with the bent paper clip and opened the door. Both of them walked into the camper silently to see Solaris and Kurama sleeping really close to each other. Kurama had one arm draped over her waist and she looked happy. Foxglove whipped out a camera and took a few quick pictures. "Priceless!" she breathed. Hiei had to fight not to laugh. Just then, Kurama moved a little and Solaris stirred. The two sneaky demons ran out of the camper and re-locked the door faster than any normal person could even blink.
Solaris sat up blearily, then tapped Kurama's shoulder. "Hey, Kurama. Time to wake up, sleepy." she said. He sat up as well, and looked at Solaris.
"You look way sleepier than me. But who cares? Come on, I'll help get breakfast ready." he smiled. She shook her head.
"Uh-uhn. We're going to eat in an actual restaurant today. And I know exactly where to go where all four of us can eat for under 15 dollars!" she smiled. "McDonalds!"
