This and all future chapters are dedicated to my dear friend Cuim; except for any chapters with fighting and/or the bad guy. Yes, I will have a bad guy. His name is Damian. He and the fighting chapters are dedicated to the great Itoko-dono. And Kat, there will be a chapter for you. Eventually.

Kairai woke up feeling unnaturally warm. She blinked her eyes open to find Hiei's cloak still around her and, to her slight alarm/amusement, so was his arm. She was lying with her head on his shoulder and his head on hers. She smiled and glanced up at Hiei's sleeping form. "He's so handsome..." she whispered to herself as she carefully reached up to brush a few stray hairs from his forehead. She leaned up a little closer, intending to press her lips to his forehead. Just one kiss.
He stirred slightly and she drew back quickly. As she flicked backward, his headband fell. She felt she would scream. A third eye! It was flitting about the place, gazing at everything. Then it stopped as it looked at her. She hurriedly closed her eyes and settled back in, pretending to be asleep.
Hiei's eyes fluttered open and they suddenly widened as he realized the headband had slipped. His hand shot up to fix it and he accidentally bumped her head with his elbow in his rush. He put the headband in its place as Kairai shifted with an "Ow." "Sorry. G-Get off me." he muttered, shoving her away.
Kairai frowned and stood. "You're kind of mean"
"And you're a liar"
She turned back to him. "Nani"
"You've kept something from me"
"Nothing you've asked me about"
"YOU... are a reikai tantei"
She stared at him for a long moment. "Your evil eye... You... You jerk"
He raised an eyebrow.
She blushed frustratedly. "Well, congratulations. As if this isn't weird enough, here you go screwing with my mind"
Hiei's eyes narrowed dangerously. "I could have let those demons slaughter you. I didn't just go snooping for no reason. I was making sure you're... agh, forget it..." He looked away.
Kairai glared at him. "Stay. Out. Of. My. Head." she hissed through gritted teeth.
He gave a short "Ch," his usual icy demeanor setting in. "I guess you won't be needing me then." With that, he was gone.
It took a moment to process that he had just left her. Then tears started to roll down her cheeks. "H-Hiei..." She covered her face with her hands and sobbed.

End Chapter Thirteen

Kurama smiled as he sensed Hiei's ki nearby. He opened a mind link. :Did you find her:
A long silence. Then:No:
:Hiei, you know her scent best:
:Ch. So:
:Koenma said for you to help find her so we can do this mission together:
Another long silence.
:Kurama... Who gave you your first kiss:
Kurama chuckled, a little bit of Youko shining through his ningen facade. :I've long since forgotten:
:Hn... She's in my cave:
:Did you do anything to her:
:Ch. Baka kitsune:
:Your loss:
:Oh excuse me, Mr. Seduce Every Female Thing That Moves:
Kurama chuckled and headed for the cave.
