Walking down a deserted street late at night, a young women comes upon a crowded building. Entering it, she walks to the counter. Four sets of eyes watch her from the other side of the room. She orders a drink from the bar and makes her way back through the club to an empty table. The eyes still watch her. They are, well at least three of them, infatuated with her looks. Long waves of blonde hair cascade down her back and timid blue eyes scan around her. There aren't anymore tables avaliable and she has no where to sit. One of the men, whose emerald eyes watched her wander about, went over to her.

"Hello." he says while stepping next to her.

She jumps slightly and faces him. Red bangs covered his eyes and a small yet gentle smile rested on his lips.

"Hi." she says back, meakly.

"My friends and I noticed that you had no where to sit and were wondering if you would like to join us." the man says while gesturing towards his friends who waved at her.

She smiles and nods her head.

"I would love to."

He leads her to their table and pulls out a chair for her. Giggling softly, she takes her seat and looks at the other three boys at the table.

"Let us start with introductions." says the man who invited her to sit with them. "My name is Minamono Shuichi. This is Urameshi Yusuke,"he said signalling to a boy with slicked-back black hair and large, brown eyes. "Kuwabara Kazuma," she turns her gaze to another man, this one with red-orange hair in an Elvis hairstyle and brown eyes, "and lastly, Jaganshi Hiei." she looks to the last one and was taken aback for a moment. His hair was blueish-black with a white startburst and stood on ened. He had the most unusual color eyes, crimson. She shakes her head and smiles at all of them.

"It is a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Hinagiku, but you can just call me Hina."

The night passed by quickly as they talked and laughed (well except for Hiei, kind of a loner). Hina looked down at her watch and gasped.

"Uh-oh. It's 2am already. I have school in the morning." She stood up quickly.

"Here, we'll escort you home." Shuichi offered, also rising from his seat.

"It's alright. My apartment isn't to far from here."

"It isn't safe for a young woman to walk home by herself." Yusuke interjected, standing up.

"Yes. There are men out there who could try to take advantage of you." Kazuma stated.

Hina smiled to her new-found friends.

"Thank you. My apartment is only two blocks south of here." She looked over at the ever silent shadow. "Are you coming too, Hiei?"

His crimson eyes locked with her blue ones. He rose from his seat and walked past her, but stopped a mere few feet away.

"Are you coming or not?" He growled to his companions.

Hina walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"There is no need to be upset Hiei-san. I won't bite."

He growled and shruged her hand off of him.

"Let's just leave already." he said, hurring out the door.

Hina shook her head and signalled for the guys to follow her. She lead them to her apartment. It was in a nice building that was a good 10 stories.

"I'm all the way up on the 10th floor. I would invite you guys up, but I don't know if my roommate would like that."

"Why? She doesn't like guests?" asked Kazuma.

"Well...she's a he and he isn't really a people person. I guess you can come up for a little bit. He might be out...then again...he isn't really home much."

She pulled out a key and unlocked the front door.

"Come on up."

The four boys followed her up the stairs for the elevator was out. She led them down the hall and came to a corner apartment. Using her other key, she opened the door and flipped a light switch. The living room came into view. A large leather couch sat in the middle of the room and a smaller one sat perpendicular to it. A large TV was across from the large couch inbetween two doors that lead to the balcony. Game and DVD racks stood next to the TV and gaming consoles sat on the floor. Yusuke and Kazuma stared in awe at the games.

"Feel free to play which ever games you want." Hina said while placing her purse on the table by the door.

The two of them ran over to the games and immersed themselves into Soul Calibur 3. Shuichi shuffled through the books in her collection.

"Some of these are ancient."

Hina walked over to him.

"They are family heirlooms. I got them from my father."

She walked into the kitchen and sighed.

'Looks like i'm not going to class today.' Hina thought while getting some drinks.

In the other room

Yusuke and Kazuma were duking it out while Shuichi and Hiei sat watching.

'She's nice.' Shuichi said telepathicly to Hiei.

'Hn.'

'Even you have to admit she is.'

"Thirsty?" asked Hina as she came out of the kitchen.

"Yes please!" shouted the game freaks, not looking away from the TV.

She handed them all drinks and smiled to herself.

'Looks like i've got some new friends.'
