Chapter 3: Meeting the Others
Hotaru stretched, & blinked. She sat up, her back aching. She rubbed the crick in the back of her neck, her expression hinting strong annoyance.
"Otou-san," she said. "Your closet is not a very good place to sleep in."
Kurama looked down the stairs, seeing if anyone was out for the time being.
"Otou-san!" she yelled.
He still did not answer.
"Otou-s-" she began, slamming her fists on the ground impatiently. Every article of clothing, as well as any other object fell on the poor girl. "WAH!"
Kurama ran back upstairs, hearing the noise. As he entered, he heard swearing, growls, struggles, a few more objects falling, & then a loud
"Kurama!"
The boy opened his closet, & almost laughed at the scene. His clothes, shoes, old toys, & boxes almost covered her, & somehow a rubber duck, as well as a few other articles of clothing lay on her head. Her determined green eyes glared at him as the light flooded the darkness of his closet.
"Kurama!" she yelled, trying to push things aside. "Why the-" A squeak stopped her. Her expression went from angry to curious. Her hand lowered from the top of her head & she stared at the strange object in her hand. She squeezed it once more.
Squeak.
She gave a huge grin, & began squeezing it repeatedly, & after a while, began laughing at the new play toy.
Kurama smiled, & began removing the objects from her forehead.
"Easily amused are we?" he asked.
"I like these things, Otou-san? What is it?" she asked.
"That," he answered, pausing "is a rubber duck. It floats in the water, & as you know, squeaks."
"Oh," she said, sounding much like a child. "Are there more?"
"Uh," he said. "I don't have any more ducks, but I do have more toys."
She jumped straight out of the closet. "Can I have them, please?" she asked.
Kurama smile was warm. She might have been a hundred or so years old with the looks of a thirteen year old, but she reminded him more of a five year old.
"If you promise you'll be good," he said.
"Yeah, yeah, sure!" she said, nodding wildly. "Whatever, just give em to me!"
"You'll have to make a good impression," he said.
"Na?" she asked, blinking innocently.

"Yusuke!" Kurama yelled, waving a hand towards the black-haired punk sitting on the bench.
"Hey, Kurama!" he said, standing up. "So, he asked," his brown eyes agleam "what did you wanna tell me?"
"Well," he said "It wouldn't go unnoticed if I didn't tell you so I wanted to introduce you to-"
"Yo Kurama, who is she?"
"Well," he answered. "She is-"
"Otou-san! Look at that baka niigen who just got hit by a car!" the girl yelled, her green eyes wild with excitement. She began laughing, then turned to Yusuke. "Oh yeah, pleased to meetcha, mister... mister..."
"Mister Yusuke," Kurama said.
"Yeah, mister You Suck," she said, obviously not paying attention to the name. "Did you see that baka get hit by a car?"
"Yes," Yusuke said. "I saw that."
"Haha," she laughed. "What an idiot! I can't believe he got hit by a car! Wahahahahahaha!"
"Uh... maybe we should go now," Kurama said, escorting the girl off.

Hiei blinked, his red eyes looking at the girl playing around her feet.
"I like your cloak, mister! Where'd you get it?"
"I don't remember," Hiei said, his eye twitching.
"Oh I get it!" she yelled. "Are you some kind of magician?"
"I am not a magician," he answered.
"You have to be!" she yelled.
"Fine, why don't you watch me pull your mangled body out of my hat?" he asked.
"Nope," she answered, not paying much attention as she tugged at the ends of his cloak. "Rabbits suck ass, dude."
The last comment almost made him smile a little.
Her eyes widened innocently as she looked up. "You lie," she said, her face in awe.
He just blinked, his expression unreadable. She stood up, & smiled her big grin.
"You are a magician," she said. "How else would you make your hair stand up like that?"
He decided not to answer that question.
"It's awesome," she said. "Can I touch it?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pretty please?"
"No."
"Thank you, Hiei-chan!" she yelled, reaching out to touch his hair.
He grabbed her hand quickly. She blinked innocently.
"Hi...ei-chan?" she asked slowly.
"I think I see a small, furry animal playing in the flowers over there," he said.
Her hand fell, & an evil look passed over her face. She pulled up the hood oftheblack cloak she was wearing & they watched as she grabbed a stick & a match, igniting it.
"Time to burn!" she yelled, running off.
The two demons blinked.
"Well," Kurama said. "That's her."
"Kurama," Hiei said.
"Yes?"
"Quite frankly... I don't like her."
To be continued...

"Looks to me as if you're going soft."
Her green eyes narrowed. "I'm not going soft."
"Then why to you choose to reside with humans?"
The girl's silence & down looking eyes answered the question.
"Whatever," she said. "So you met him?"
"Met who?" the girl asked, blinking.
The girl looked left to right, then whispered "Hiei."
"Oh," the girl said. "Yeah. The magician dude. Yeah, he & I are like best friends."
