When she got there Kurama was already patiently waiting. He had taken his shoes and socks off and was sitting near the shore his feet in the water staring up into the sky. Chiisuteru took her shoes and socks off too and quickly walk up behind him. Right when she was behind him she covered both of his eyes.
" Guess who?" she said in a low hidden voice.
" Chiisuteru." He said with confidence.
She let go of her hands and sat next to him.
" How did you know?" she said dipping her toes into the water.
" You have a unique smell." He said still glancing up.
" Oh, is it that bad?" she asked.
He then looked at her and smiled. " No, it's not a bad smell. It's actually quite nice. It reminds me of vanilla ice cream."
"Vanilla Ice cream." Said Chiisuteru. She started laughing. " Well, then maybe I should keep putting it on. My vanilla ice cream of course."
Kurama stared at her. "Your hair looks nice in curls." He said.
"Yeah and next you're going to say my sweatpants and sweater are nice as well."
Kurama looked at her. In fact the sweater and sweatpants look awful on you but he didn't say it out loud.
"Well, I wasn't going that far." He replied.
" I suppose… Will, how was your mission?" she asked while kicking water in the air.
" It wasn't that difficult. We managed to finish it in no time." He said kicking water in the air as well.
"Oh, so what was it that you wanted me to come out here for?" she asked looking up at him.
" That, oh, I wanted to ask you…well if your not busy that is. If you can come with me to visit my mother." He said looking at her.
Chiisuteru smiled "Of course. That will be fun. I bet your mother is really nice. I can't wait. When?"
" Well, Koenma is giving us the day off tomorrow so it that fine." He asked.
" Sure." Said Chiisuteru. Kurama watched her smiled .For some reason when he found her smiling he couldn't help but smile back.
" Chiisuteru?" he asked moving closer to her.
" Ummm, yes." She said.
" I also wanted to tell you that" he stopped.
" Yes, what is it Kurama." She said leaning up towards his face,
" Well that…" Kurama moved towards her lips " I …lo" Splash
"Kurama, Kurama, are you ok?" asked Chiisuteru pulling him out of the water.
"Yeah, I'm fine………. I guessed I slipped." But I know I didn't. It felt like someone pushed me. Thought Kurama.
Chiisuteru giggled. " Right."
She grabbed his hand and tried pulling him up, but Kurama had ideas of his own and instead pulled her into the water.
" Oh, my gosh, COLD!" she yelled once she surfaced from the water. "KURAMA YOU JERK!" she said splashing water into his face.
" I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself." He said trying to swim away.
" You better swim." She said slowly making her way to shore.
She got herself up and was soaked, her hair was even in more curls and her sweatpants and sweater weighed her down.
"Know I can't walk since I'm so heavy!" she yelled.
Kurama climbed onto the surface. "Gomen Chiisuteru. If you want I'll carry you back to the house," said Kurama extending his hand. Chiisuteru looked at his hand and then at him
"For some reason I can suddenly walk."
The both of them walked back the house making Squish Squish Squish noises. Chiisuteru walking ahead did not notice the tree root on the ground and tripped right over it.
" Urgh, great." She hissed.
"Are you ok?" asked Kurama.
"Yeah, fine, just dirty now." She said sarcastically.
" I think you look cute like that." Said Kurama grabbing her hand.
She didn't say anything, but blushed. There was then a rustle near them and a person approached them.
" Hiei " said Kurama.
" Hn, I can see you two got dirty."
"That's all Kurama's fault." Said Chiisuteru pointing a finger at him.
"Well Chiisuteru if you like there's an open air bath we have around here you can use to clean up. Kurama there's one you could use as well." Said Hiei.
" Sure that'll be nice." she said. Hiei pointed to her in what direction it laid.
"Ok, bye guys." She said waving to them and heading towards the bath.
Kurama was then alone with Hiei. "What are you doing here?" asked Kurama arms crossed.
" Nothing, just went for a walk." Said Hiei grinning.
" Is there something I should know?" asked Kurama stepping in front of him.
"No, nothing…. well maybe one thing." Said Hiei moving around him and walking away. " I just wanted to say be careful. You never know if you'll fall in water again." Said Hiei.
Kurama turned around and yelled, " What, How did you know that? Did you see the person who pushed me!"
Hiei stopped walking and turned to face him. " It was I who did it." He said evilly.
Kurama stood there in shocked. "What do you mean?" he asked. " I thought you were going to help me win her heart. Why push me into the water when I was going to tell her I loved her" said Kurama falling to his knees.
Hiei walked up towards him and whispered in his ear. " I was only joking. To think you here almost crying. Gomen Kurama. I couldn't help myself. I guess I was jealous. It won't happen again."
With that Hiei walked off into the woods. Kurama watched him leave and sighed in relief If he had told me he loved her as well, I suppose our friendship would have ended here. I'm glad he didn't, but Hiei jealous, that's a first. I wonder what he's really hiding.
At the Open Air Bath
Got my brush, my towel, my shampoo, and my clean clothes. I can finally go in. Huah, this feels really good. Compare to that cold Lake Kurama pulled in. I wonder what he was going to say before he feel in…………..ueh oh well, " Que Sera Sera " What will be, will be" I guess I just have to wait thought Chiisuteru as she carelessly drifted into a daydream.
Six more day's till Koenma's B-Day
