Love You Like I Do, part: 2

1

Never before had Hiei had to sit threw such horror as he just had. He had just sat there and willingly watched ningen movies where love was the basic concept in every one and the most violence in them was a girl accidentally cutting herself with a knife… a butter knife at that.

He felt like his eyes were going to burn, bleed, or rot out of his head… or any combination of the three.

But finally Shi announced that that was the last movie she had gotten, she had actually cried during the movies making Hiei even more confused at why she would show such an emotion at such a stupid thing.

The said shadow demon came back over to Hiei and took his hand bringing him to stand up. "Well that's it, watching them make me happy I have someone to love unlike some of them." She smiled and turned to walk away though still holding onto him and trailing him behind her.

"Hn, baka." He said. "No really, it makes me happy."

"Onna where are we going?" He decided to change the subject. She looked back at him though continuing down the hall towards her own room. "We're going to bed."

"We're?"

"Yes the conjunction of we and are, making it plur-."

"I know that, but what do you mean we?" She stopped at the door giving him a look as though he should already know the answer to the question and oblige to it, yet he didn't and wasn't going to.

"I don't want to sleep by myself, I was hoping you would stay with me, it's dark and scary in there." He gave her a disbelieving look.

"You're a shadow demon baka." She rolled her eyes pulling him into the room. "Oh don't be so hard Hiei." She pressed against him, "you know you want to spend the whole night with me." She came closer to him until their faces were inches from each other.

"Pressed just… like… this." She let them linger in silence for a moment with a look of passion in her eyes then pulled back giggling. "I didn't say I didn't want to." He stated.

She shook her head, "you always have to make everything so difficult Hiei." She moved to the bed with him pushing him onto it and then laying beside him holding tightly so he couldn't escape even if he did try. 2

The next morning when the early rays of February sunlight poured into the room awakening Shi from her quiet sleep. She was hesitant at first to open her eyes wanting to sleep as long as possible but when she felt her arms around something curiosity got her and she opened her blue eyes to see black material first.

She looked up to see Hiei looking back at her. "Hiei?" She asked, "what are you still doing here I would have thought you would have left by now." He gave her a slight scowl.

"I would have but you wouldn't let go of me." She smiled but reluctantly let go of him and sat up yawning. "Another morning another day of doing the exact same thing." She huffed.

"We don't do the same thing every day." Hiei stated.

"I know, but in general it's the same thing, I feel like doing something different but I don't know what." Hiei knew well to keep that in mind, he may be able to use it to his advantage.

"Then find something different to do." He stood up. "What you're not going to find something to do with me?" He looked back slightly. "No, I have things to do." He then left the room leaving her alone and confused.

She wondered if last night she had pushed her boundaries a little to far with Hiei, maybe now he didn't like her as much… that sounded stupid in her mind though it just wouldn't allow itself to be quelled by anything she tried.

Finally simply sighing and standing up she dressed herself in a pair of cotton soft black pants that extended down enough to lay loose on the floor and a button up white t-shirt.

She then casually walked out of the room to the dining room in search of food to find Kurama already making food, something she knew she shouldn't be surprised of.

"Morning Shi." He greeted happily not turning from his spot, she went to the counter near him and started rummaging threw the cupboard. "What are you looking for?"

"Food." He looked at her questioningly. "You know I am making something right?" She met his emerald eyes. "Hai, but I'm going out."

"Again?"

"Hai, Hiei said I should find something different to do so I'm going into the city to do just that." Still a look of question remained on the kitsune's face after a moment though it faded.

"Fine, just don't do anything reckless." Shi huffed when she couldn't find anything fast to eat and walked away from the still open cupboard and headed to the front door.

"Kurama I'm not going to lie to you and promise that, I probably will end up getting bored and doing something to someone that will leave them mentally or physically scared for life."

He shook his head knowing he should have figured as much and that he shouldn't have even tried. "You do anything like that and Koenma will have you put back on a stricter probation." She glared at him though he couldn't see it.

"Yeah just makes more fun for me." She then exited out of the temple door.

There was a short time of silence in the kitchen with Kurama then, "Why did you tell her to do something different?" Just then Hiei appeared sitting on the counter a little ways away from him.

"Because."

"Because isn't an answer Hiei

"I'm making it one." Kurama gave his fire demon friend a half glare knowing where this was going. "You can't do that."

"That's not fair."

"No one said life was fair Hiei."

"I know that." There was another fit of silence. "Did you like those movies Shi rented yesterday?" He smirked when he earned a glare. "No I loath them and want to burn them." Kurama chuckled.

"What about Valentines Day, think of anything yet?" Hiei was quiet a moment. "No… she said she wants to do something different."

Kurama kept quiet though kept an eye on his obviously in thought friend. "I don't know what to do." He admitted making Kurama smile. "You should do the simplest thing for her if you want my opinion."

"I didn't ask for it."

"Do you have anything better in mind?"

"Ne."

"Well like I said, I think you should do the simplest thing for her, don't go all out that wouldn't be you and even if you did I don't think it would mean as much." Hiei thought about it all.

"Explain."

"I can't tell you, that is something you have to figure out on your own." Kurama chuckled when he caught the sound being emitted from Hiei's throat. "I'm not telling Hiei."

"I should kill you."

"Maybe… but what good would that do you?"

"Hn," as quickly as that Hiei was gone from sight again to the morning outdoors to think over exactly what Kurama had said and hopefully determine what he had meant.

Meanwhile Shi walked quietly down the city streets quickly looking into a couple stores and then longingly at the street where cars whizzed by quickly, how she wished she had her half paid for Lamborghini to join the mass of cars.

"Shi!" A high-pitched voice caught her ears that she recognized almost instantly. Turning to the direction of the voice she saw a girl around her age sprinting towards her.

Alzea was her name, she had been one of Shi's first friends in this city and for that she still interacted with her… sometimes.

She had shoulder length chocolate brown hair with natural dark red highlights running threw out it, a bright face that showed she had on the slightest bit of make up, just enough to bring out the dark gray of her eyes. She wore Denim jeans with rips threw out them and a tight burgundy tank top, it was something casual that she was known for wearing.

Although attached to her hand was the hand of another, she knew whom exactly. It was Alzea's boyfriend of six months, his name was Seppo but everyone knew him well as just Sep.

He had curly brown hair and light brown eyes that faded in with natural tan skin.

"Shi!" Both stopped before the Shadow demon. "It's been so long since we've talked!" Alzea said in delight. "It's good to see you to Alzea." Her and Alzea were almost complete opposites though for some unknown reason the two clicked wonderfully together.

"Are you busy? Can we go walk to catch up?" Shi smiled at how spirited her friend could be sometime. "No I'm not busy let's go." Alzea nodded and let go of Sep.

"Sep I'm going with Shi I'll call you later."

"Okay hun." He smiled as Alzea's smile grew if that was even possible, she let go of her boyfriend to link arms with Shi and direct them away from the crowds of people.

"So? How have things been?" She asked.

"Fine." Shi answered. "A bit hectic, what about you? I see you and Sep are still together though that doesn't surprise me." Alzea giggled.

"Everything's been fine, yeah we're still going out. He has something planned for tomorrow I can tell but he won't tell me what it is!" This time it was Shi that chuckled.

"Well of course that would spoil the surprise if he did that."

"Okay then, what about you? Where's your boyfriend you used to talk so much about huh? He is real right, I mean none of us have even seen him." Shi's look fell.

"Of course he's real he's just anti-social."

"An Anti-social, that has to be hard I feel bad for you." Shi shook her head instantly. "No I mean he's great when you get him without anyone else around but when there are people he's just more reserved then others."

"Kind of like you?"

"No I'm not like that."

"Well what's he doing for you on this special holiday then?" Alzea pressed on, it was evident to Shi that she was going to get her answer no matter what.

"I don't know I don't think he's going to do anything, then again I really wouldn't mind if he didn't it's really the thought that counts anyways." The other girl shook her head.

"You're so simple Shi, Sep does stuff for me even if it's not Valentines day, he's a hopeless romantic really." This time Shi shook her head but allowed a smile to cross her features.

"See if Hiei, or any guy was like that to me I would feel so embarrassed about it, it's just a reaction I guess I don't know."

"Hiei… strong name. Well embarrassment is a usual human emotion it's nothing really bad but sometimes you just need to get over it, it's like being shy, if you don't stop being shy people will take you for granted."

Shi couldn't help but smile, her friend was so uneducated, embarrassment wasn't a human emotion to her it was a alien one as best she could describe it, being as she wasn't human from what she had been told.

"I guess, I still don't think he should do anything it just wouldn't be like him." Alzea nodded. "I guess I see where you're coming from, but he should at least do something, anything is better then nothing."

"I guess… but I'm defiantly not going to force it. Last time I did it didn't end well." The two walked to the city park that was about in the center of the large city and starting threw it.

"Oh? What happened?"

"Nothing it's not important."

"Oh come on Shi I'm your friend tell Alzea what happened." Shi watched her for a long minute thinking over the situation then sighed. "It was nothing I just forced him to stay with me last night and I think he got… upset about it, I don't know maybe I'm jumping to conclusions."

"Oh Shi, that's a big no-no. You shouldn't force him to do something he might not want to do, that's bad." Shi looked questioningly. "You don't even know Hiei how can you say that?"

"I know the type of guys you go for, I can make an inference can't I?"

"Only if you make a good one." Alzea sarcastically laughed and stopped them. "Well whatever floats your boat I guess right?"

"Hai."

"Okay, look I'm really sorry to have to do this but I have to meet my sister at our parents store to help out, that's where Sep and I were heading in the first place, so I have to go."

"It's okay go ahead."

Alzea smiled, "okay, call me we should get together again." Shi nodded as her friend started off towards the exit of the park leaving her there.

-

For the rest of the day Shi just walked quietly in and around the city observing things her once hectic lifestyle had kept her from noticing as well as looking in the few new stores that had been set up threw out the city.

By the time she did return back to the temple it was around 10 at night. The first person she noticed after completing the trek up the many stairs leading to the temple was Hiei sitting in a nearby tree, his energy wasn't very well concealed.

"Hey Hiei." Crimson orbs opened from where he sat and averted to Shi. "Look I'm sorry about last night if what I did was… wrong." She waited in anticipation for him to say something though it took a good long minute for him to say something.

"You didn't do anything."

"Yes I did, look I'm just trying to say I'm stupid and don't think before I act. Okay?" Again there was a silence. "For the moment." She was confused by his words but decided to let it pass for the moment.

"Whatever I'm going to bed, see you in the morning Hiei." He didn't say anything but watched her walk away into the temple. It had taken him a while to understand Kurama's words and even now, after figuring out what he was going to do, he wasn't sure if he had figured this mystery out the way it was meant to be.

Time would only tell.

-

The next morning Shi awoke fully rested, something that had been taken from her most times being as the light of dawn that flooded her room aroused her to easily and to early.

But now the curtains had been drawn and assured sealed letting only her comforting darkness in. She got up confused at how that had happened since she hadn't done it.

Before she could make another movement a piece of folded paper on her bedside table caught her eye. Still completely confused she took the paper and opened it.

Centered on the inside were the words 'love you like I do' written in a fancy almost cursive manor. Still she didn't understand what was going on but dressed in the only thing she could find, very loose jeans and a tight black shirt, then head out to the living room.

"Kur-." While she was walking down the hallway she picked up a sense of Kurama's energy but as soon as she attempted to call out it was gone. The house was completely empty she couldn't pick up anything.

'Maybe he went to his mother's or something.' She thought with a huff. 'I'm going outside I need some air.' And with that she proceeded out the front door.

When she stepped outside she found Hiei leaning against a nearby post. "Morning Hiei." He was quiet. "Hey listen I got this card a-." Her voice trailed off when she saw him smirking almost unnoticeably.

That's when it all came together, her slow mind put two and two together and she couldn't have been happier with the results. "Oh, Hiei!" She slung her arms around his neck tightly.

"You do care about me!" His smirk only increased. "Maybe." She drew back showing her own smirk. "Come on tell me you love me."

"No." He protested.

"Say it Hiei, you know you do."

"No."

"Say it, or Yusuke and Kuwabara find out how much of a romantic you can be." He gave her a slight glare. "You wouldn't."

"Fine, consider them knowing." She smiled brightly. "Fine, I love you Shi." Her smile only grew, Hiei had no idea what he had done so big that had caused her to act in such a manor.

"I know you do, I love you to! But what did you mean in those words, 'Love you like I do?'"

"It has a lot of meanings, it just depends on how you look at it."

"Well what did you see?"

"You're not stupid onna, besides that you should know what it means." He explained to her as best he could. "It means you love me!" She came forward again kissing him before he had any time to even think of rejecting it.

-

That night Hiei walked up the stairs of the moon flooded temple finding the fox leaning over a banister watching him. "So?" Kurama asked. Hiei stopped parallel to him holding a blank look on his features.

"So how did you like celebrating your first Valentines Day?" Hiei's look instantly changed to a glare, it was in fact all Kurama's fault he had been put threw all of that unnecessary stress.

"I hated it and I'm never celebrating such a thing again." He then proceeded into the house. Kurama shook his head, he'd get over if he hadn't already, he knew well that Hiei liked the holiday even in the slightest.

The End

A/N: Okay that's it, that's the end. I thought it actually turned out pretty good even though I was very jumpy threw out it. So what did everyone else think? Oh yeah the same thing for this two-shot that it does for every other one of my stories, no flaming please!

1: I originally saw the title for the HIM song 'Love You Like I Do' and since I had never really listened to it I wasn't sure what was on it though I liked the name that's why I chose it. I also did though because I see it like a paradox almost it could mean a lot of different things. I said what I thought it meant in the story I want to know what everyone else thinks when you see it… that sounds weird to me but I'm curious.

2: For a while now I've been reading and writing other categories other then Anime and YYH and I noticed when I wrote about the thing I did those characters were the hardest people I have EVER even attempted to do. Well my point for saying that is that I think I focused to much in on that reading/writing and I seriously messed with how I write things for this category. I think I'm starting to make Hiei a little bit out of character so if I am please understand that it's not intentional and I'm sorry about that!
