A/N: Alright, I just got back from a 2-day party at my good friend's house, and MAN, did we have fun!! Question: Have you ever played the drinking game, "I Never???"

Well, we did!! ...And if you haven't, try it, it's fun! (Especially with a bunch of REALLY sugar-high people in the middle of the night!)

The boys were funny, and we danced, played truth-or-dare, THPS2, Uno, Dai Hin Min, and had burping contests, air hockey wars, and line after line of funny thoughts & innuendo! Yay, we were messed up!! (but it was worth it!! ;;)

Anyway, due to being paranoid 'cuz I got caught cheating on a Spanish test, I've been busy dealing with a high stress level; not to mention only getting one hour of sleep...

SO I'M CRANKY, DAMMITT!!

the english paper's evilness might be taken over by the Spanish Quiz From Hell...

English paper: WHAT??????? I thought I was your greatest rival?

CYS: Sorry, but que sera, sera, mon freir!!

Amep (english paper): What will happen will happen my ass! I'm NOT going to be inferior!! And epecially not to some dumb spanish test...

CYS: Ok, I really don't care anymore...! Could someone please just do the disclaimer?? Please??

Evil Spanish Cheating Test (Esct): She says, she owns EVERYTHING!! ...except a brain...

CYS: I DO NOT!! Don't make me bust out this lighter, I will!!

Amep: She really will, don't mess with her! She's sleep deprived & crazy!! (just do as she says!!)

Esct: Ummm... ok. She doesn't own freakin' Yu-Yu-Hakusho, 'k??

CYS: Good. Let's keep it like that, shall we?

Amep: Lucky bastard...

Now here's finally the 2nd chapter in Anen Gigmatic Smile!! YAY!! Now, shower me withtoys & gifts!

...or just review... whatever...


Months passed, and soon the dazzling spring gave way to the wretched sting of winter. Hiei didn't see why they needed snow, it didn't do anything for anybody (except give them frost bite in very unfortunate places). If it were any normal ningen year, he would have been back in spirit world in no time, but stupid Kurama...

"Oooohhhh, Hiei!! Look at that one!! Aw, wouldn't it be perfect for the top of our tree??"

"Kurama, we don't even have a tree."

"Well then, let's go get one!!" .

He had been going on like this for hours, waking a very disgruntled koorime at three o'clock in the morning, just to be herded from store to store, picking up useless sweets and blithely colored balls. Not only was he soaked, tired, and irratible, but now Kurama expected him to go trudging through some dark, forboding forest in search of some non-existant "perfect tree"??? Ok, it really wasn't the forest itself that bothered him, rather, it was the excessive banks of ice-encrusted snow that they were sure to have to go traipsing trough if Kurama's plan held out. No way was he gonna do this.

"I can't believe I'm doing this..." The little youkai muttered under his breath, trudging behind a very estatic Kurama and carefully avoiding the rising drifts of snow.

"Aww, come on Hiei! This is gonna be fun!"

"Being drenced in this foul waste of precipitation, winding aimlessly through a dark forest is fun?? I could be in Reikai training right now, that'd be more useful!!"

"But then you wouldn't be with me!!" (to which Hiei just rolled his eyes.) "And snow is not foul!"

"You're right, it's vile."

"It's the most wonderful, lusrous element in the world!!"

"Right...."

He just laughed and scanned the surrounding area once again, a look of concern on his face. And just when Hiei dared to believe that the fox might finally be giving up the hunt....

"Look, over there!!" He shouted, pulling Hiei along by the back of his haori and stopping at the side of a beautiful young pine tree. "It's perfect!! Don't you think so?"

"Yeah, sure. Can we go now?"

"We have to cut it down first!"

"Well hurry up and do it then, I'm freezing!!"

"Ummm.... Hiei? I forgot the ax....."

After almost being inadvertantly flamed by his jagan-weilding friend, and finally finding a way to get the tree out without an ax, Kurama thought it was a good time to go home. This was probably a VERY good idea on his part, considering the once sopping Hiei had now resulted to a quiet smoldering. (steam and flames included.)

And so they returned, tired and weary from a hard day's shopping.... Well, ok- Hiei was tired. Kurama, however, seemed even more estatic than usual. While Hiei was busy warming himself with a hot bath, he seemed to be scheeming.

The koorime walked down the polished stairs, looking VERY cute in an oversized pair of Kurama's pajamas, and was stopped dead in his tracks.
