Well, I'm glad so many people like this story. Thanks for all the helpful criticism!
Kel: Warning! Hiei will be acting OOC until he reaches school! Just a little insight there.
Adriel: And yes this does have a plot.
Kurama sighed as he went up to his room.(AN: He's doing a lot of that, ain't he?) This was such an...odd day. But he did find out more about Hiei. Like, he shouldn't get annoyed with him like before. Now, he just had to get his Mother into believing a story about the toaster, coffee table and the carpet and he was all set.
Half of his mind started whispering to him. 'Do you really want to leave Hiei by himself downstairs?' the annoying little voice asked. Kurama cursed. 'He can take care of himself,' he argued. The voice laughed at him. 'Yeah, he's an expert at staying out of trouble, seeing how he was in a tank for about sixteen years,' Damn annoying voices and them being right.
He sighed again. "Hiei?" he called. "Yeah?" "You want to come up here?" Kurama asked. "No." Damn. "Why?" he asked. "Because Kurama, your mother's home." WHAT! Already? Kurama swore loudly, getting Hiei's attention. "Relax, I've got the perfect cover story." he said. Kurama raised an eyebrow, coming over to his dark-haired friend.
"And what is it?" he asked. Hiei smirked confidently, making that same feeling of nervousness come over him again. "You'll see." The door opened before Kurama could say anything. Shiori came into the room, carrying her purse. "Hello, mother." Kurama greeted. "Hello Kurama, Hiei." "Uh...Shiori I was wondering if I would talk to you before you went into the Living Room."
Shiori nodded, looking concerned. "You see, Kurama took me outside cuz, well, I've never been out there before. And we found this cute little kitten and I took it back. But, it's kind of clumsy and knocked over a candle on the Coffee Table and burned the carpet. So, I thought I should ask you if I could keep it."
Kurama stared at him in shock. That smart little-"Of course you can keep it, Hiei." Shiori said, smiling. 'Dammit!' Hiei thanked her and ran to get Kuro. He brought her back and Shiori instantly fell in love with it. Kurama glared at the kitten. She was sitting on Hiei's lap, looking happy. 'She's so lucky,' Kurama's eyes widened at the stray thought.
Where did that come from? He stared at Hiei. Okay, so he was good-looking. And lean/muscular. And just down-right sexy...Okay, best to leave it at that. "Kurama, come on, it's time to eat." Shiori called from the kitchen. "Okay mother." Kurama answered, walking into the kitchen. He sat down next to Hiei, who ate so fast he was a blur. Kurama sweat-dropped at him.
"I've decided something..." Shiori started, getting the other two boys attentions. "Hiei, I signed you up for school. Starting tomorrow, you'll be Mr. Hiei Minamino." Hiei smiled. "Okay." Only, Kurama was less thrilled. Hiei would, no doubt, hate school. He hated taking orders from, well, anyone. And he was already a handful. "What is he to me?" Kurama asked. "He's your adopted brother." Shiori said, going back to her eating. 'Oh crap,'
