1Zukume was all ready for the date. She wore a black sweater over a white tank top and a long black skirt with a slit on the right side that went to her mid-thigh. A pair of black flip flops completed the outfit.
She was ready. She wasn't nervous... okay, that nervous. Never before had Hiei gone on a date with someone. And plenty of girls had flirted shamelessly with him. But he wasn't even slightest bit seduced. So what did it mean for him to go out with her? Was he attracted or were his male hormones finally affecting his decisions?
Zukume shook her head clear of those thoughts. She knew Hiei just a little better than that... didn't she? 'I can't believe I'm thinking like this! I'm practically calling him a pervert!' she mentally scolded herself.
The door bell rang. It's hollowness echoed throughout her mind as she walked to the door. 'I can't do this! Feet, I order you to STOP! NOW! Damn it, listen to me!' she thought. But as though they had a mind of their own, her feet continued on their way to the door.
Finally, she reached her destination. Slowly, she reached up and touched the handle. It felt cool to the touch. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door to find that Hiei was walking away, mumbling something about him being a fool and no better than Kuwabara, or Kuwa-baka as he called him.
"Hiei?" Zukume asked quietly, turning a bit pink. 'Maybe he does like me for me...' she thought as he faced her and came back. Hiei was also blushing slightly as he said softly, "I thought you might have changed your mind..."
She smiled lightly, replying, "Naw. I wouldn't do that." He looked at her with wide eyes."I-I mean... I said I would and I never back down from what I say I'll do. Sorry..." she quickly corrected, thinking, 'Idiot move number one! Stay calm... how can I stay calm, damn it!'
"Y-you look nice..." Hiei commented. 'Delicious in fact...' he thought perverted-like.
She thanked him, blushing. He then offered her his arm and said, "Shall we be off?" If there was one thing he knew about dating, it was that. Only that. When Kurama would start charming ladies, after that particular phrase and gesture, Hiei would disappear, clearly not interested in human courtship. At least until now...
Zukume nodded and gently took Hiei's arm in her own. And together they were off to the movies.
