"Aww! I didn't know the two shrimps could look so cute"

"Well, go wake them up!"

"No way! I don't want my head chopped off! You go wake them!"

"Gee, I love to. Except I don't have any feeling in my arm anymore" Yusuke muttered, glaring at Keiko. He had hope Keiko would seek protection from him during the horror movie. Instead, all he gotten was a half numbed arm thanks to Keiko continuously gripping his arm.

Kuwabara didn't reply Yusuke; he just started sniggering at the red fingerprints on Yusuke's arm. Earning him a punch on the head.

"Hey! I thought your arm has no feeling Urameshi!"

"It does now!"

Kurama sighed and turned to look at the two dozing demons. Kira was lying on Hiei's shoulders, although her head looked like it's going to fall off his shoulder anytime. One of Hiei's arms was draped casually across her waist. Hiei himself was leaning back in his seat, his two feet propped up on the seat in front of him. 'That would explain the kick I felt during the show' Kurama thought with an annoyed look, rubbing his head where Hiei had kicked him.

"Yoo-hoo…Wake-y wake-y!" Kuwabara cautiously prodded Kira on the shoulder, taking care not to stand too near her. Receiving no response, he grew bolder and stepped straight up to her face, yelling at her to wake up right in front of her.

Kira squinted one eye open and was greeted by Kuwabara yelling like an idiot right in her face.

"Ahhh! Monster!"

"Monster! Where!" Kuwabara jumped back and look around nervously.

"Oh. It was you, and here I thought it was a monster. What a mistake."

"Of course! How could I, 'The Great Kuwabara Kazuma', look like an ugly monster!"

"…Actually, I was thinking a monster would probably look better. But well, what the heck."

"Why you little-!" Kuwabara started angrily, but quickly stopped when he saw Hiei's eyes shot open and glared at him. Kira grinned to herself. She had to add another point to her 'list'. Protective.

"Guys? As amusing as this little act is, I have to get home" Keiko angled herself between Kuwabara and Hiei to stop their glaring match.

"So do I"

"I have to go too. Genkai will be worried if I stayed out too long."

"I will send you safely back my beloved Yukina-chan!"

"Come on Keiko, I'll send you home"

"Bye!"

"So much for the movie marathon…Gee, some friends they are" Kira muttered, watching all of them go, leaving her alone with Hiei. Sighing, she grabbed the hand of the fire apparition beside her and pulled him along. "Come on, you can crash at my place tonight."

"Hn…"

There was silence between the two of them as they strolled along, both of them simply enjoying the company of each other. As stars started to dot the skies, Kira sighed contently. She loved the night; there was just something about it that made her feel relaxed and peaceful.

Kira glanced down at their joined hands. She had let go shortly after she grabbed him, yet, after a moment of hesitance, Hiei had claimed her hand back and refused to let go. Blinking in surprise when a drop of water fell on her, Kira looked up quizzically at the sky.

"Rain…"

Hiei gave her a glance. Kira was looking up happily as raindrops started to fall faster. The sight of her smile brought a small quirk to his lips, which he quickly suppressed. He looked at her as she stuck her tongue out and caught a raindrop. The rain has dampened her hair and clothes, making them clung to her body.

After a whole minute of walking slowly in the rain and getting soaked to the skin, Hiei finally spoke up. A few strands of his hair had hung over his eyes, thanks to the rain.

"Onna, you're going to get ill"

"No I won't"

Hiei rolled his eyes. He couldn't wait to provoke her and say 'I told you so' when she did get ill.

Kira smiled slightly to herself when she found herself covered with the black cloak. 'Caring…I think'

"Thanks Hiei."

"Hn"

Grinning, she turned around and faced Hiei, who looked at her curiously. Leaning slightly forward, she gave him a small kiss on his lips, smirking at the slightly dazed look on his face. "I mean it. Thanks. For everything."

Kira laughed and ran the rest of the way home. Before she could open the door, she was shoved gently against it, with arms pining against her shoulders.

"He he…I can explain…err…" Kira stuttered as Hiei smirked at her. His face just inches away from hers. His crimson eyes gleamed with mischief as he advanced.

"Finish what you started"

Kurama turned around and walked in another direction. He had forgotten to tell Kira that Koenma had wanted to talk with her. Strolling up to her house, he stopped short a few feet from the door. His mouth hung open slightly in surprise at the show in front of Kira's house.

"Wrong house" Kurama announced to himself and walked off. Koenma can wait.

Kira wrapped her arms around Hiei's neck and deepened the kiss. Her whole weight leaned against the door as Hiei sandwiched her between him and the door. His arms crept around her waist and held her closer.

"Mmf- Ow!"

Kira grumbled from the ground. She had accidentally turned the doorknob, causing the door to open and her to fall down with Hiei on top of her.

"Hn" Hiei muttered and kicked the door close without getting off Kira. He supported himself up by his arms before leaning down to continue.

Kira smirked as she felt Hiei's tongue poked at her lips. She clamped her lips shut and grinned as Hiei poked harder. Hiei smirked as well and bite down on her lips, causing her mouth to open in surprise and allowing him entrance.

"Hmm…you cheated" Kira mumbled, pulling Hiei down next to her.

"Hn" Hiei muttered, his mouth engaged in more interesting activity than talking.

Kira felt his hands tugged up her shirt as their tongues fought for dominance. Breaking free from the kiss, she stopped his hands from doing what they are doing.

"Hiei, not now"

"Sorry…"

Kira gave him a smile to show she didn't mean any hard feelings. Giving him one last kiss, she strolled to the kitchen.

"Hungry?"

"Hn…No"

Shrugging, Kira grabbed a bag of cookies and started munching on them, leaning against the counter as she ate.

Kira gave a small laugh when his lips covered hers again, his hands cupped her face as he poked open her mouth again. Her eyes closed with enjoyment as she sat back on the counter.

Kira gasped for breath as they finally stopped. Hiei smirked at her heavily blushing face and sat down backwards on a chair. He knew he was looking slightly like a tomato himself, but right now, he don't really care.

Kira's face took on a wondering expression as her tongue felt about in her mouth. She then laughed and looked at the fire apparition smirking at her.

"Hiei, give me back my cookie"

Extracting the soggy treat from his mouth, he offered it back to her.

"…Never mind, keep it"

Hiei shrugged and ate it, watching as Kira finished the rest of her cookies.

Kira eyed herself and Hiei critically when she finished eating. They were both dripping wet from the rain and there was puddles of rainwater all over the kitchen.

"We need to take a bath"

"Hn. We?"

"Separately" Kira replied, sticking her tongue out at him as she went up the stairs. "You can use the guestroom's"

After shutting the bathroom door, Kira turned the shower on to the highest temperature then stepped into the steaming hot shower with a sigh. She knew Hiei was trying to make it up to her for not turning up for the date.

"It's actually working" Kira muttered amusedly to herself as she scrubbed herself. She couldn't deny that she liked Hiei's sudden affections.

Kira stepped out of her bathroom and was greeted with a towel almost smacking into her face. Glaring at Hiei, she tossed their towels into the hamper. She was dressed ready for bed, with a black t-shirt too big for her and a pair of comfy shorts. Kira gave the fire apparition on her windowsill a glance and shrugged, not like he never saw her in these before.

"You're going to stay there all night?"

"Hn. Go to sleep onna"

"Mmf…" Kira muttered sleepily into her pillow before shifting over to one side of her bed.

"We can share if you want…" Kira looked over at Hiei and gave a small grin before burying herself in her pillows. "I don't really care, this bed is too damn big anyway"

"Hn…"

Hiei was only dressed in his black pants with no shirt. Shrugging he climbed in beside her, facing in the other direction. Kira was right; this bed is so big that there is a space for another person between them even though both of them are taking up quite a lot of the bed.

Turning back to face Kira, Hiei's eyes soften as he stared at the peacefully sleeping girl. Brushing a few strands of silver hair off her face, he gave a small smirk before falling asleep himself.

Kira shivered as she buried herself deeper into the bed. Covering up a small sneeze, she glared at the still sleeping fire apparition. Damn it, Hiei's prediction had come true and she now had a small cold thanks to yesterday.

'Still,' Kira thought then grinned and scooted closer to Hiei. 'I have my own personal radiator'

"Hn. Do I look like a radiator onna?"

Kira gave him a grin as his eyes open slightly. "Yep"

Hiei rolled his eyes before drowsily hugging Kira closer to him. He stifled a laugh when he heard Kira gave a sneeze.

"Told you"

"Yeah yeah, whatever"

Hiei gave Kira a look as she sneezed again.

"How the hell did you catch a cold when you are an ice demon."

"Beats me"

Hiei reluctantly loosen his hold as Kira wriggled about and sat up. "Come on lazy pig. We can't lie here the whole day"

Kira yelped as Hiei yanked her back down on the bed. He gave a smirk and wrapped his arms tightly around her. "Who says we can't?"

"I did" Kira muttered before grinning slightly. She gave him a short kiss on the lips before getting up quickly when his grip loosens slightly.

"Hn" Hiei got up as well and left the room for Kira to change.

Kira grinned as she watched Hiei walk out. Cute.

Yusuke grumbled as he walked over to Kira's house with Kurama and Kuwabara by his side. Stupid Koenma. Just like him to give them a mission on a Sunday.

As Yusuke was about to knock on Kira's door, his sour face turned into a mischievous grin when he heard muffled sounds from inside. Pressing his ear to the wooden door, he motioned for the other two to be quiet and listen to the inside.

"Hiei! Come on! Faster!"

"I go as I bloody damn well please onna."

"Jerk…ow! Why you do that for!"

"Hn. Keep quiet onna."

Yusuke widened his eyes at the other two before gulping. "Um, you think they are doing what I think they are doing?"

Kurama gave him a calm look before shrugging while Kuwabara's face took on an alarmed look.

"No way! The shrimp and the shorty at it?"

Yusuke gave a determined look before slapping one hand over his eyes and slamming the door open.

"Hey! No sex in here!"

"Yeah! What he said!" Kuwabara followed suit and barged into Kira's house.

Kurama gave the two demons sitting in front the TV a shrug when they looked at him inquiringly.

"Kuwabara, Yusuke. They aren't doing anything" The fox informed them calmly before sitting down on the couch.

Kira cracked up in laughter while pointing at the two idiots still standing in her doorway. Hiei gave a smirk at the ridiculous sight of Yusuke and Kuwabara covering their eyes.

The detective peeped through his hand before completely removing his hand when he realized the two aren't doing anything.

"What are you doing then!" Yusuke demanded. "What's with the faster thing!"

Wordlessly, the two of them pointed in unison at the controller in Hiei's hands before pointing at the TV screen. Where a car had currently smashed into the side of the racecourse it is in.

Kurama started laughing together with Kira while Hiei suppressed his laughter at the indignant look on Yusuke's face.

"How was I suppose to know" The detective grumbled incoherently before smacking the oaf beside him who still have his eyes closed.

There was silence as all of them stared at each other in awkward silence.

"Okay…Why the hell are you guys here for?"

"Oh yah! Some idiot torn open the Kekkai barrier AGAIN! Koenma wants us to go over to his office instead of him coming personally here. Lazy ass."

Kurama, Hiei and Kira sweat dropped at him before leaving for Reikai, ignoring the beginning of a bicker coming from behind them.

"Why did you take such a long time to get here! As I am speaking more and more demons are-"

"How long do you think he will last?"

"Beats me"

Koenma glared at the company in his office. None of them were listening to him rant on and on. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kira was staring at random places instead of looking at him. The blank expression they have obviously showing the young prince they weren't listening.

Kurama was looking at him. But by the lack of response from him, Koenma is willing to bet his binky he wasn't listening either.

As for Hiei, no one can make him listen to what he doesn't want to. Koenma groaned before stopping his lecture, why does he even bother?

"Well! Since none of you are going to listen to me, you guys better get going." Koenma twitched when no one responded. "Are you deaf! I said go!"

The five of them hurriedly left the office and entered the portal made for them. Leaving Koenma to vent his exasperation out at Jorge.

Being an ogre and working for Koenma sucks, doesn't it?

Hiei looked in concern at the ice wolf fighting besides him as she sneezed yet another time. He gave a grunt of annoyance as he sliced off the head of a demon behind her. Stubborn onna. He had tried to prevent her from coming along this mission yet she insists on coming. Seeing how Hiei always fall for the puppy dog look she pulls, he really didn't stand a chance in going against her.

Sneeze.

Yusuke twitched; the incessant sneezing coming from Kira is driving him crazy. Since she's ill why didn't she stay behind? Geesh!

Sneeze.

Kira laughed sheepishly as the four of them glared at her. She rubbed her nose slightly before looking innocently away.

There was silence for a few minutes besides the sound of demons losing their lives and hitting the ground.

Sneeze.

"Argh! That's it!" Yusuke fumed before bodily hauling Kira up. Marching over to Hiei, he dumped her in his arms before stomping away. "Get her home! We'll finish the remaining demons."

Hiei smirked before giving a 'hn' and flitted off. He doesn't need to be told twice. He was about to do the same thing if she continued her sneezing anyway.

"Heeey…Don't I get a say in this?" Kira whined as she's carried off.

"Hn no."

"Che…It's just a slight cold. No big deal." Kira muttered and shifted about in Hiei's arm. "Put me down. I can walk by myself"

'Although I really wish I could be in your arms longer…'

"Hn."

Kira rolled her eyes in annoyance at the reply before shrugging. It's not like having a cold is such a big deal. Except the fact that you had to sneeze almost every minute.

"Oof" Kira grunted when Hiei set her down so gently on her bed. Honestly, she doubt the fire apparition knew the meaning of the word gentle.

"Hiei"

"Hn?" Hiei glanced at her; he was getting ready to leave when she called him.

"Stay?"

"…Hn" Hiei grunted out before resting on the windowsill. He shifted about uncomfortably as he fought with his demon instincts. His eyes looked at everywhere except on Kira.

Must not look at her. Must not lose control. Damn it! Stupid mating season!
