"Psst…you think she's ok?"
"Go away detective"
"Kuramaaa, she been sitting still for god knows how long!"
"I'm sure she's fine, Yusuke"
"Hey Kuwabara-"
"Do I look like I know Urameshi?"
"…"
"Hiei! Go comfort your girl-… err… never mind" Yusuke gulped as Hiei's katana used his throat as a resting place. He grumbled as he slumped on a chair.
Silence.
"Kura-"
"Shut the hell up already Yusuke"
"But Kira! She been so damn quie-… oh" Yusuke muttered when he realized who spoken. "Uh…You okay?"
"No" Came the flat reply.
"Jeez…That was blunt"
Kira sighed as she stood up. "Stop worrying Dad" She gave Yusuke a slight smile. "I'm fine." Saying that she reached out and ruffled his hair.
"… Gross, how much hair gel do you use a day?" Kira asked looking at her hand in distaste, then wipe it on Yusuke's shirt.
"Hey" Yusuke grinned as he grabbed her hand. "I know you love me, but please, keep your hands to yourself."
"… I wonder what Keiko see in you" Kira muttered as she tilted her head sideways looking at him.
"WHAT is THAT supposed to MEAN?" Yusuke asked twitching. He then whacked the idiot standing beside him who was laughing and pointing at him.
"Urameshi! You little-"
"Ouch! Kuwabara!" Kira yelled. "You have the lousiest aim I ever seen!"
Kurama sighed as he watched the three bicker. He then turned to the only other sane one. "Looks like she's fine huh?"
"Hn"
Such a wonderful vocabulary Hiei has.
"So… You're okay?"
Kira twitched. If she heard the question one more time…
"I'm fine" She replied stressing the word.
"Okay…" Koenma looked at her warily. He then gave a sigh and got down to business. "Kira… I'll be honest. We don't have much information on Raiko. We have to wait for him to strike again before we can subdue him. His next target will no doubt be you."
He then turned to his spirit detectives. Oh boy, Kira is gonna kill him. "Since there has been a lull in missions lately. I'm assigning the four of you to protect her."
Kira's eye twitched. "Koenma. If you do that, I'm gonna die before Raiko gets me. Either by high blood pressure or suicide." She stated calmly.
"Don't be ridiculous Kira. Ahem. As I was saying, the four of them will be your bodyguards. At least one of them must be with you the whole time."
"Can I do bathroom duty?"
Kira stared amusedly at Yusuke trying to put out the fire on his backside. She then glanced over at the window and saw Hiei smirking wickedly. Creepy.
"Except when she's changing or in the bathroom" Koenma finished. Ignoring the damn from Yusuke and Kuwabara, he turned to Hiei. "You, will be attending Sarayashiki High when school reopens" Koenma flinched from Hiei's glare. "Either that or prison" He added.
"Hn. Fine. I'm not responsible for any accidents"
"No killing."
"Damn"
"Now, you guys just started your vacations right?" Receiving nods, Koenma continued. "You're free unless a mission pops up. Of course, you still have to protect Kira."
"I don't need any freakin protection"
"You do too. That reminds me. You know what kind of demon you are don't you?"
"Um ice?"
"And wolf. It's from your dad. I know your parents never say anything about it because your father doesn't like to be reminded. Due to the fact he ran away from his pack to be with your mother. Anyway, I only mentioned it to you because it might be helpful. Doesn't mean you have bodyguards means you can become lazy. Understand?" Koenma took a deep breath after the long speech and glanced at Kira.
"Yes dad"
"Don't call me that" Koenma muttered. "Now get out of here, all of you. I have work to do"
"Flirting with Botan is called work?"
"GET OUT!"
"Geesh, testy, must be teething." Kira muttered as she closed the door to Koenma's office. She then turned to the four before her.
"Well, who wants to be the lucky babysitter today?"
"I promised Keiko I will take her to the movies today"
"Wow, there's a first time for everything. You actually remembered."
"Shut up Kira"
"Feh. That leaves you three." She watched as the detective sped off to avoid being late and receive a couple more slaps to add to his collection. Kira then turned and look at the other three. "Well?"
"I'm visiting my Yukina-chan today!"
The tall boy ran off, mumbling under his breath about how much he loved Yukina.
"Interesting." Kira muttered as she watched Hiei's eyes burned holes in Kuwabara retreating back. Then swiftly following him to make sure nothing happen to his sister.
"Looks like your stuck with me." She grinned at the fox. "You mind?"
"No" Kurama laughed then fell in step next to her as they made their way back to the human world.
"Kurama?" Kira asked on their way back. "Staying?"
Kurama looked at the girl staring at the pavement as they walk. "Sure, but we have to drop by my place while I pick up a few things"
"Race you there!"
Kurama just smiled and let her get a head start, then ran after her.
Kira grinned as she watched Kurama's house came in view. Her grin quickly changed to a sulk as Kurama appeared next to her, gave her a smirk, then ran ahead.
Kira growled as she ran faster, her eyes widened as she realized Kurama has stopped in front of his door and was now unlocking it. 'Oops…I don't think I can stop in time…'
"Oof…" Kurama's eyes widened slightly in surprise as he crashed through the now unlocked door as Kira slammed into his back. Great. Hello floor.
"Hehe, sorry foxboy" Kira grinned sheepishly as she sat up on Kurama's back.
"Get off me Kira" Came the muffled reply.
Kira quickly hopped off and helped Kurama up. She smiled apologetically at him then ran up to his room. "Hurry up"
Kurama shook his head and followed her up. He watched her out of the corner of his eye as he packed a few things. She was staring at his whole room in general.
"You're too freakin neat Kurama. You sure you're not a girl?"
Kurama gave her an annoyed look then went back to his packing.
Kira laughed then threw herself face down on his bed. A few seconds later, she shot up, her nose twitching.
"Jeez, even your bed smell like roses. Does anything of yours DOESN'T have anything to do with roses?"
"Um no?"
"Never mind"
Kira sat up on his bed leaning against the wall. She watched with a small smile as Kurama went about packing. She can see why he is Hiei's best friend. He just made anyone feel comfortable in his presence. 'Unless he turned Yoko' Kira reminded herself.
She realized he's done when he straightened up and look at her expectantly. She got up, then stopped, scrutinizing the window in his room.
"Kira? Is there something wrong?"
"No, I'm just wondering what's so nice about getting out through the window instead of the door like Hiei usually does."
Kurama sweatdropped at the girl. His eyes widened as she pushed the window open and let herself out.
"Kira!"
Kurama poked his head out of the window and stared at the empty ground. 'What the…'
"Kurama?" Kira asked hanging by her fingers from his windowsill. "On second thought, I don't want to find out." Kira glanced nervously at the ground. "Kuramaaa! Get me uppp!"
Kurama smirked down at her. "Afraid of heights?"
"Pleaseeee"
He sighed as he pulled her in. "You're an idiot."
"I know, but I'm a lovable idiot" Kira grinned at him as she dust herself off. "Come on, let's go"
Kira leaned against the doorway of Akio's room. Her face express no emotions, except her eyes are slightly glazed over. Koenma had helped properly buried Akio together with her parents. Sighing, she pulled herself out of her trance, shut the door gently and locked it.
She walked down the rather small hallway to the guestroom. Usually, Hiei would be the one occupying it, but today, its Kurama instead. She poked her head into the room and watch as the fox settle in.
"Dinner?"
"You're cooking?"
"Yup!"
"I'll pass"
"Kurama!"
"Just joking, I'm fine with your cooking" Kurama grinned at her.
Kira grinned back, then went off. A few seconds later, she came back and threw an extra towel at him. "Go shower"
The fox look at her skeptically. "Are youimplying I stink?"
"I didn'timply anything" Kira smirked at him. "I should finish cooking around the time you came out. Go" She stated, pointing in the direction of the bathroom.
As Kira bustle about the kitchen, her lips curved slightly in a smile. She feels like she's talking to her brother when she talks to Kurama. The way they would playfully tease each other. Her smile turned into a slight frown as she surveyed the kitchen.
"Hell…I don't think anything I cook will be edible."
"Damn right"
Kira screamed, jumping a few feet backward from Hiei and bumping into the table.
"Damn it Hiei, don't sneak up on me like that"
"I did not. You were merely too weak to sense my presence."
"Shut up"
"Hn"
Kira rolled her eyes. "Forget about cooking" She muttered as she grabbed instant ramen.
"Aren't you keeping an eye on Kuwabara?"
"He went home"
"Oh… Kurama is in the guest room, if you want, you can sleep in my room"
Hiei raised an eyebrow at her statement. Kira sweatdropped.
"I don't mean it like that, I'll sleep in the living room on the sofa."
"I don't need a bed onna"
"Feh, whatever. And for the last time, my name is Kira!"
"Onna" Hiei muttered stubbornly.
Kira twitched slightly, then grumbled incoherently under her breath. Pushing a bowl of ramen across to Hiei, she placed another down beside him then start digging into the last one.
"You call this cooking?" Kurama asked as he sat down next to Hiei and started eating.
Kira looked up from her bowl and stared at Kurama for a few seconds before replying. "You really want me to cook?"
"Point taken. No."
Kira smirked then continued eating. After dumping her bowl at the sink, she walked out of the kitchen, she called over her shoulders. "Last one washes up!"
Kurama blinked as a black figure blurred to the sink then out of the kitchen. He sighed, that was expected.
Kira was lounging on the couch when the doorbell rang. She glanced over to the clock, 8:27 pm, she then cast an annoyed glance at the door as the doorbell rang again. Who the hell comes to her house at this time?
Grumbling, she walked slowly over to the door, giving Kurama a slight glance as he came out of the kitchen. She then sighed and opened the door.
"Hi Kira!"
"Hey Kira"
"Hello Kira-chan"
Kira blinked as Botan, Keiko and Yukina walked in past her. Her surprise increased as the detective and the idiot strolled in.
Closing the door, she took a deep breath, then said calmly. "Ok, when the hell did I throw a party?"
"We're staying over tonight! See! We bought our sleeping bags and movies and-"
Kira covered Botan mouth. "I get your point."
Kira then slumped on to a chair as she watched them dump their belongings in a corner and start sorting out different movies. She don't even bother to ask why. She knew them too well. They didn't want her to be alone after her brother just died.
Kira glanced at the several movies they brought. They were all romance movies. She groaned then looked over at Yusuke and Kuwabara. They just shrugged then settle themselves on the long couch.
She sighed then lounge sideways on the chair. Her neck resting on one armrest and her legs swinging over the other. This is gonna be a long night.
"How about a little nightmare pet?" Raiko smirked as he watched the girl sleeping peacefully on a chair. "Akio!"
"Yes Lord Raiko"
