Ruby eyes snapped open in shock. His katana slipped out of his grasp and hit the ground with a loud clanging sound. Jerking the fire apparition out of his shock.
'Damn it…'
He quickly picked up his katana and scaled a tree, locating the tall clock in a distance. Guilt flashed through his eyes when he saw the long hand pointing on top and the short hand straight to the left. Nine…
Hiei took off immediately. One hand on the side of his head. He has been training with his dragon of the darkness flame and it has totally exhausted him. It's enough of a miracle that he actually became conscious at this time.
I'm sorry…
"Kira I-"
Eyes widened, Hiei quickly ducked as a silver dagger whizzed past his head and impaled the tree behind him. Shifting his vision from the dagger to the doorway, guilt and regret ran through him when he saw the hurt and angry eyes looking at him.
"I-"
Bang!
Hiei winced and rubbed his nose where the door slammed on it. He knocked cautiously. "Come on, I'm sorry!"
"Go away!"
Hearing her stomp up the stairs from outside, he quickly went up the tree next to her bedroom window and stuck his head through the luckily opened window. Before hurriedly pulling his head out to prevent it from being chopped off by the window.
"Onna!"
Kira glared at him as he mouthed to her through the clear window. Mouthing back 'go to hell', she drew the curtain shut and refused to look at him.
"Damn it…" The fire apparition muttered and leaned back against the tree. Looking down, he saw the same boy he saw when he asked Kira out.
"Stop staring at me you stupid boy!" Hiei snarled at the boy and threw a rather large branch down. The poor boy gave a small squeak of fear before scurrying off.
Hiei took a deep breath and sat down on the branch while staring forlornly at the window.
Give me another chance…
Kira stared emotionlessly at her ceiling, willing herself not to shed any tears. How could he forget?
Just how much do I mean to you?…
Groaning, she flipped around and buried her face in her bed. What does she expect from Hiei?
Kira lifted her head slightly and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from the stand beside her bed. She then started to scribble furiously on the paper.
Cocky, cold, arrogant, bad attitude, short-tempered…Kira stared at the list and sighed softly.
And so damn hot…
"Damn it" Kira muttered and crumpled up the piece of paper. The points she written are exactly why she has fallen for him.
Why must relationships be so goddamn complicated!
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Keiko and Yukina looked nervously at the two demons sulking at the two ends of the table. Both of them were turning their back to the table to avoid looking at each other.
"Dare I ask what happened?" Kurama asked cautiously.
"No" "Hn"
"…Okay…"
The red head turned to the others for help, yet all he received were shrugs. Kurama sighed as everyone fell silent. Their food untouched in front of them. None of them felt like eating in the tense atmosphere Kira and Hiei provided.
The silence lasted until someone can't take it anymore.
"What crawled up your asses and died, shrimps!" Yelling that, Kuwabara then quickly cowered when the both of them glared at him.
"Look, everything's fine okay" Kira muttered, totally contradicting herself by shooting a glare at Hiei.
Hiei just 'hn-ed' and shift uncomfortably in his seat. He refused to look at her and stared away, suppressing the blush of embarrassment from creeping up his face.
"Need the restroom" Kira muttered then stood up, walking briskly to the restroom of the fast food restaurant they were in.
Hiei scowled when someone pushed him out of his seat, he turned and glared at the guilty detective. Who returned the glare and pointed in the direction of the restroom.
"Go after her!" Yusuke hissed and urged Hiei along.
"Hn, you want me to go into the female's restroom?"
"Wait outside then!"
Without replying, Hiei walked off and stopped a few feet in front of the entrance to the female's toilet. Giving Yusuke a 'happy now?' look and receiving a grin in reply.
Hiei leaned against the wall as he waited. He don't even know why the detective ask him to go after Kira for. Glaring back at the table, he saw all off them conveniently ignoring him and chattering amongst themselves.
Thud. Thud. Thump!'The hell?' Hiei thought and peered cautiously into the open door of the restroom. 'What in the world is that onna doing?'
Kira sighed in relief everytime her head met the wall. Her forehead wrinkled with confusion when she smashed into a softer object than the wall.
"What, are you doing onna?"
"None of your business" Kira retorted then turned to stomp out of the restroom.
Hiei rubbed his temples and grabbed Kira's wrist before she could go. "Look. I'm sorry ok? I promise, I'll make it up to you…"
Kira stared adamantly at the wall although her heart was starting to forgive him despite her internal struggle not to give in. She avoided looking at his eyes as he turned her around to face him.
"Kira…" Hiei lifted her chin up to force her to look at him. His eyes showing her he was sincerely sorry for what he had done. "I'm really, really sorry…I'll make it up to you. I promise"
Both of them stared in each other in silence for some time. Hiei's eyes shone with sincerity as he stared into Kira's eyes.
Sighing, Kira buried her face in Hiei and grumbled softly. "Jerk" She poked him in the chest everytime she said a word. "You.Owe.Me.Big.Time."
Hiei gave his famous smirk and rested his head on top of hers. "Hn…"
Relaxing in his arms, Kira smiled slightly. The heavy burden on her heart lifted as she felt Hiei ran his fingers through her hair slightly. While Hiei's features took on a contented look as the soft strands twined through his fingers.
Of course, such contentment don't last long.
"Ahhh! Pervert! There's a guy in the female's bathroom! He's molesting a girl in here! Somebody help!"
Hiei twitched in annoyance as everyone burst into laughter for the umpteenth time since they reached Kurama's house. Even the fox is hiding a grin behind his hand and Yukina was trying to smother her giggles.
"Guyyysss! It's not funny" Kira muttered and tried to glare at Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Keiko and Yukina all at once. "Besides, I bet the woman is completely loony anyway." Kira added, twirling a finger next to her head for emphasis.
"Hiei…female's toilet…molest…" Is all Yusuke can stuttered out before laughing helplessly again. He tried to sober himself and turned to the fire apparition, cocking up an eyebrow suggestively.
"So Hiei…your hands must have wandered to cause the woman to think you were molesting Kira…Tell me, felt anything interesting?"
"Detective…" Hiei growled softly and reached for his katana.
"I was just joking!" Yusuke screamed and cowered behind Kira when the sharp object swung dangerously near him.
"Hn!"
Keiko whacked Yusuke on the head before stating primly. "It's not funny Yusuke."
"Keiko! I love you!" Kira exclaimed as she tried to hug Keiko, happy that one of them isn't making fun of the episode back at the restaurant.
"At least I think it isn't…" Keiko bit her lip to prevent herself from laughing.
Kira scowled when she saw Keiko fighting from laughter. "Oh never mind. You people stinks."
Yawning, she stretched herself on Kurama's couch. Damn…Saturday noon and there's nothing better to do…
"Come on guys! Let's hit the movies! We can have a movie marathon…" Kira propped herself up on the couch as she made the suggestion.
"Beats lying around here with nothing to do. I'm in."
"Me too!"
"Sure, why not?"
"Hn"
Turning to the girls, Kira opened her eyes wide and gave them a pleading look. "You can't leave me alone with the guys…"
"I really have to finish my assignments…" Keiko started. Kira forced her eyes wider, quivering her bottom lip slightly. Add in Yusuke giving her the puppy dog look, Keiko sighed, she really don't stand a chance. "Fine."
"Genkai said I could be out all day if I want today. I'll be more then happy to accompany you Kira-chan."
"Yay!" Kira jumped up happily and rushed out of the door. "I'll get the tickets!"
Yusuke and Kurama gave each other a wary look as Hiei flitted off after her.
"You know, I swear those two are bipolar."
"Bottom statement, they are one fucked-up couple"
"Yusuke!"
"Fine, dysfunctional couple"
"What do you mean you don't have seven seats together! What kind of cinema is this!"
"Mamm, pplease calm dowwn…"
"If you don't give me seven seats together for this movie, stupid ticket-vendor boy, I swear I will rip ou- mmph!"
Glaring at Hiei out of the corner of her eye, she grinned and licked him on the hand, slobbering as much as possible over it. Kira smirked in satisfaction as Hiei removed his hand and stared at it in distaste.
"Onna…" Hiei growled at Kira, unable to find a word to describe what she done.
Sticking her tongue out at Hiei, she turned back to yell at the boy at the ticket counter who was cowering behind it.
"You know what? I don't bloody hell care anymore. Just give me seven tickets for that show." Kira randomly point at a movie advertisement.
"Her-re ma-amm…" Stuttered the boy and shoved seven tickets at her. Not even bothering to collect the money for the tickets.
Kurama raised an eyebrow as Kira and Hiei walked back to the group. "What happened to that boy Kira?"
"How would I know?"
"…Right"
Grinning at Kurama's suspicious look, she turned to distribute the tickets.
"Now let's see…two pair of tickets next to each other…and the other three together. Who gets which?"
Neatly tweaking one of the pair of tickets, Yusuke lead a slightly blushing Keiko into the theatre, smirking when he saw what movie they were going to watch.
"Next?'
"That idiot is not sitting next to my sister alone!"Kurama stifled a laugh. He took the three tickets together and turned to Kuwabara and Yukina.
"Shall we?"
Yukina nodded happily, oblivious to the fact Kuwabara was looking disappointedly at Kurama.
"You owe me Hiei""Hn. Whatever fox!"
"Right. Guess that leave us…" Kira bit her lip and walked after the rest.
"Hn"
"Come on…" Kira dragged Hiei along by one arm. Earning a few 'Look! What a cute couple' comments from a few elderly people nearby.
"Stay out of my business old hags!" Kira yelled and stormed into the theatre. Busybodies.
Settling down into their seats, Kira could make out Yukina's and Kurama's striking coloured hair right in front of them. With Keiko right in front of Yukina.
"Where did that idiot and buffoon go?"
"Snacks" Came the simple reply from Kurama.
"Oh" Kira muttered then slumped back into her seat, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the fire apparition beside her.
"Gee, you need to loosen up" Kira gave Hiei a nudge, commenting about the stiff posture he is currently in.
"Hn"
Shrugging, Kira leaned her head on his shoulder, waiting for the two idiots to be back and the show to start.
Hiei gave a glance at her head resting on his shoulders before mentally shrugging. 'I did promise to make it up to her anyway…'Hiei thought, before hesitantly pulling her closer via a hand on her waist.
"Whoa! The movie haven't even start and you two are starting already?"
"Shut up Yusuke/detective" Came the two indifferent replies. Not really paying much attention to the boy holding a massive amount of junk food in his arms.
Pulling slightly away from Hiei, Kira grinned as she helped herself to a few snacks they bought. Earning two 'hey!'. She stuck out her tongue at them before snuggling back into Hiei's hold.
The two boys stared at the couple warily. Idiots they may be, but they are not going to grab back their snacks and risk getting their hands chopped off. Especially with the dangerous glare Hiei is giving. They shrugged before weaving through the people and to their seats.
"That's mine Urameshi!"
"Oh stuff it, idiot"
"Why you!"
"Sit down and shut up already!" Kira yelled, throwing a bag of chips at the offending object, er head, blocking her view.
Muttering something about a certain stupid spirit detective, a rude ice wolf and a red head being a light bulb, Kuwabara sat down with a huff. Watching the show start with a black face.
A/N: Look! I updated twice in a week! You guys should be grateful! Hiei is dead isn't he? Grins A lot of people are gonna kill him for not showing up for the date…don't worry, they WILL have a date eventually. So please don't kill him yet, I still need him to continue the story…
I'm sorry I made them make up so fast. But hey, Hiei didn't REALLY intentionally ditched Kira. He just...well forgot. Heck, doesn't matter, this chapter is a bit weird anyway…
Review response:
Kurayamihikari: Well, he did forget. He's kinda out of character in this chapter isn't he…oh well. Thanks for reviewing again!
The Shadows Hide All: Glad you find it funny. Yusuke always did strike me as a bit of a hentai, but I think I might have overdid it a little. And Hiei can and did blow Kira off . Thanks for reviewing!
Cherryblossoms21: You're welcome. Please don't kill Hiei, you can kill him after I finish the story …I really hope he didn't hear me say that….
Sausuge: Help me thank your friend for saying it rocks . Glad you like this story and Hiei was, 'busy'. Lol. Hope you continue reading and reviewing this fic. Thanks!
BleedingAngels911: Thanks! Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
MikoHatome: Well, now you know why he's late…Thanks for saying it's cool!
BlueWater26: I feel kinda bad for her too…being anyone's, especially Yusuke's, slave isn't very appealing. Thanks for reviewing my story
KawaiiMe-srs: Yep, Hiei skip out on the date. Sorta. But who can blame that little fire apparition who is clueless in relationships? Thanks for reviewing.
Sunshine14586: Hey thanks! I'll try to do more romance, but romance with Hiei isn't that easy . What with his bad attitude and 'showing feelings is a sign of weakness', its rather hard to write a love story on him. Thanks for the review.
Rokosho-13: Sweatdrops I don't think you can find him in a sweet snow container, despite how small he is. I have this image of Hiei peeping out of the container covered in sweet snow when I read your review though. I'm weird I know. Anyway, thanks for reviewing.
Please read my other fic! I just started it and I rather like the way the first chapter turns out to be. The story is called Forbidden Attraction, featuring a young dragon named Naiya who Hiei met while he was with the thieves. Full summary is inside the story. Please read and review it! Thank you!
