Chapter Five

Le Amore

FRANCE

Sara collapsed on the bed. "So…tired…"

Hiei flopped down next to her. "So am I. We haven't slept in at least two days. Or…was it three?"

"Who cares? I'm going to bed." She kissed Hiei. "Good night."

FAYTHE AND ARAGORN'S ROOM

"I feel bad. Kurama is in a room all by himself."

Aragorn blinked. "He didn't seem to care, Faythe."

"Maybe he keeps his emotions bottled up inside."

"Why would he do that?"

"Because he's really lonely deep down inside and hurts too bad to even think about it, let alone tell somebody else," Faythe theorized. She had a sad look in her eyes.

"Do you know that from experience, Faythe?" Aragorn asked gently. The look of sorrow on her face was almost too much.

"Not anymore." And the look was gone. Whatever she'd been thinking about or reliving was gone, as well; repressed back into the deep recesses of her memory. "I have you."

They hugged and kissed and said good night, falling asleep soon after.

KURAMA'S ROOM

Kurama was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He was tired, but he couldn't sleep. He kept thinking back to earlier that day. Why had Sara been acting like that? She had claimed it was jet lag, but he wasn't sure. After thinking about this for a while, he went to sleep. Only to be woken up by a nightmare. "There's no use. I can't sleep like this." He got up and went into the hall. The nightmare had really freaked him out.

SARA AND HIEI'S ROOM

There was a knock on the door. Sara woke up and looked at the clock. 10:45. "Who the hell?" She got up and opened the door. "Kurama? What's the matter?"

Kurama blushed when he looked at Sara, who was only in a t-shirt. "Don't be modest, Kurama. What's the matter?"

"I couldn't sleep."

Sara smiled. "That's all? Come in. You can share the bed with me and Hiei."

"All right."

NEXT MORNING

Legolas opened the door to Sara's room with his keycard. "Rise and…oh my God!"

Kurama sat up and blushed. "It isn't what it looks like!"

Legolas laughed and went to get Faythe and Aragorn. He turned and ran into them. Aragorn was staring straight ahead at the people on the bed. Faythe was enthralled.

Jake was bored. "So it's a threesome. Who cares?" Jake said, yawning. "If you don't mind, I'm going back to bed." He turned to Legolas. "You can join me if you like."

Legolas looked at him blankly for a minute before catching the gist of the comment. "Oh! No, not now. We have to look after Sara, Hiei and Kurama."

Jake scoffed and left, muttering something about sexy gay demons.

Aragorn snapped out of his trance. "Well…I can tell you three have been busy."

Sara scowled angrily. 'You don't even know what you're talking about! Kurama had a bad dream!"

Faythe snickered. "Were you in it?"

Kurama blushed. "No! Well, yes, but not how you're thinking!"

Legolas quoted now, using the same one Aragorn had used earlier. "'Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.'"

"That's my line!" Aragorn said angrily.

"Actually, it was first said by-" Aragorn punched Faythe in the arm, making her shut up.

Sara glared at Legolas. "If I was in that dream THAT way, it wouldn't have been a bad dream. Would it?" Kurama turned red again.

"You know Kurama," Aragorn said thoughtfully, "you certainly are blushing a lot. Considering nothing was going on…"

Hiei sat up now and looked around. "Oh damn. What'd I miss?"

"They think we had a threesome."

"What?" He turned to look at Sara and Kurama, his eyes wide. "What are you doing in here?"

"I had a bad dream."

"Ugh! Always a bad dream! Was it the same one as before?"
Kurama turned red(der). "Sort of, yes."

Hiei sighed. "What are they doing in our bedroom? In our house?"

Sara laid a hand on his shoulder. "Honey, we're in a hotel room. In France."

"WHAT? When did that happen?"

Legolas chuckled. "He's really disoriented when he wakes up, isn't he?"

"You'd be too!"

Faythe turned to Kurama. "What exactly happened in this dream?"

All attention was on Kurama. "Well…I'm walking through Sara's house, looking for her. But, I can't, so I walk outside and…" He trailed off and started making choking sounds.

Sara put her arms around him and glared at the others. "Are you happy? Kurama, sweetie, you don't have to finish."

He looked at Sara with appreciation. "Thanks. Water!"

Faythe brought him a glass of water. He drank too quickly and it made the choking worse.

"Faythe!" Sara exclaimed angrily. "That didn't help much!" She patted Kurama on the back. "Get it out, Kurama. Stop thinking about the dream."

Kurama's face relaxed and he smiled. "Thanks, Sara."

Hiei rolled his eyes. "Can you get out of my room now?" he said to Faythe, Aragorn, Legolas and Kurama.

"Fine," Legolas said haughtily. "I'll take up Jake's offer."

"I need a shower. I feel unclean," Kurama said. Faythe and Aragorn left without comment and fell back asleep.

Hiei looked at Sara. "Did you have to let him in?"

"Yes! He had a nightmare!"

Hiei rolled his eyes again. "Well, I'm up for the morning. I'm going to take a shower."

"Alright."

AT BREAKFAST

All the trauma was over for the morning. Faythe filled a plate and sat down at their table. Sara looked at the food. "How can you eat that crap?"

"Look at what you have! Fruit! Nothing but fruit!"

Kurama looked at Faythe. "Fruit is healthier for you."

"No one asked you!"

Sara stood up and stormed off. She came back wit ha doughnut. "There. Better?"

"Yeah, but you won't eat it."

Sara looked at the donut. Her lip curled involuntarily. "You're right, Faythe. I'm going to throw it away." And she did.

Faythe hung her head. "Another dead soldier."

Aragorn patter her on the shoulder. "There, there, dear. It's not good for you anyways."

"Yeah, I guess."

Just then, Legolas and Jake burst into the dining area in tuxedos. "Who wants to get hitched?"

Aragorn and Faythe raised their hands.

"I need a dress!"

"I need a tux! And some rings!" They ran around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Jake and Legolas whipped a dress (that was maternity fit) and a tuxedo from behind their backs. From a pocket in the tux, Legolas produced a small velvet box containing two Mithril wedding bands.

Aragorn and Faythe stared at them, dumbfounded. "How did you do it?"

"We decided being married was more important than rolling around in the sheets," Jake replied with a wolfish grin. "And we didn't want you to miss out on the fun!"

Sara got excited. "What are we waiting for? Let's get licenses!"
