Disclaimer: I do not own any of the YYH cast ok? And I do not own the Order! That was mentioned in the last one… So I'm saying now that I don't own it. But I do own the story plot, Blaze and the new neko guy!
Blaze: And I'm not going to tell you anything about him!
Lyra: It's pretty surprising who he is… But anyone smart enough could tell who he is…
Blaze: On with this story!
Chapter Four
Botan's smile got even bigger, if that was possible. "I dare you to go out with Blaze for a month."
The three girls giggled.
Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke stared at Botan in shook.
Blaze looked away to so no one could tell her cheeks were tinted pink.
Hiei glared at the blue haired grim reaper. "What if I refuse?"
Everyone looked at him.
Botan smiled and shook her head. "It's a dare; you can't refuse to do a dare."
Hiei growled at her with a death glare. "Hn… fine…"
Blaze looked at the ground.
"It's your turn Hiei." Yukina said with a smile.
"Kitsune, truth or dare?"
Kurama smiled. "I'll have to go with truth."
Hiei smirked. "Did you tell the truth about Blaze's parents? Was she really unsafe with them?"
Kurama looked at the kajihenge in slight shook and then looked down. "Youko really thought she was in danger. To tell the truth we both don't know if she was safe or not, but he took her away just to be on the safe side."
Blaze's bangs fell over her face so no one could see what she was feeling.
"Blaze, are you ok?" Keiko looked at her a little worried.
Blaze looked up with a smile. "I'm perfectly fine!" Her eyes were sparkling.
They all relaxed at the fact that she wasn't depressed.
Kurama leaned back against the couch. "Keiko, truth or dare?"
Keiko smiled. "I pick truth!"
Kurama smiled. "Are you and Yusuke finally going steady?"
Keiko blushed and Yusuke looked away. "Well uh… Yes… We are."
Blaze smiled and threw a pillow at Yusuke. "Don't do anything to her or I'll have to kick your ass!"
The pillow met Yusuke's head and he fell backwards. He sat up quickly and threw the pillow back. Blaze simply flipped backwards and landed on the top of the back of the couch.
She smiled at him. She saw Botan and Keiko whispering but couldn't exactly hear them, even with her cat ears. "What are you two talking about?"
Everyone turned to the two girls. Botan had moved to where she could talk with Keiko. The blue haired girl chuckled and moved back to where she sat before. "Nothing Blaze, nothing at all!"
Keiko smiled and looked at Blaze. "Truth or dare?"
Blaze looked at the human girl. "Dare, I'm not scared of a challenge. Not that I'm saying you are itoko-san!"
The cousins smiled at each other.
Keiko, Yukina and Botan giggled. Everyone looked at them with curiosity.
Keiko gave Blaze an innocent smile. "I dare you to French kiss Hiei for five minutes."
Blaze stared at her blankly. "You want me to do what?"
Keiko repeated herself. "I dare you to French kiss Hiei for five minutes."
Blaze sighed. I really shouldn't put up a fight… It's just showing that I'm hesitating to fulfill a challenge. Whatever… It's only five minutes.
Blaze sighed and jumped off of the couch. Yukina had scooted over into Blaze's original spot. She sat next to Hiei.
Both of them glared at each other.
Botan took out a stop watch out of no where.
Yusuke looked at them suspiciously. "You guys planned this didn't you?" Keiko and Botan nodded slightly.
"Ok… precede Blaze." Botan smiled at her.
Blaze pressed her lips to Hiei's and Botan started the stop watch.
Hiei put his tongue into Blaze's mouth and hers into his.
Everyone watched them with wide eyes.
"Is… Is Hiei kissing Blaze back?" Kuwabara asked in shock.
Yusuke blinked and looked away. "It would appear so Kuwabara…"
Blaze blushed at how fierce the kiss was. She could feel how much Hiei wanted her and couldn't help but feel the same way.
Hiei resisted the urge to pull the neko closer to him.
Botan stopped the stop watch but didn't say anything. The guys looked at her with a raised eye brow and the girls smiled.
Why are you so hesitant around me shoujo? Hiei was talking to Blaze mentally.
Blaze was hesitant to answer. Well I don't know. I guess I'm… nervous…
Why are you nervous?
Again Blaze was hesitant to answer. Because I know you gave me that poem… And I promised myself not to get my hopes up too much on the person ever really loving me so that I wouldn't fall too hard for him.
And that didn't work out did it?
Blaze pulled away from Hiei and stood quickly. "I quite this baka game, I'm going to bed!"
The neko disappeared quickly. Everyone looked at Hiei.
He simply glared at them and went to his own room.
The others sighed. "Well that wasn't too much fun…" Botan whined.
Kuwabara and Yusuke smirked. "But now we know that Hiei and Blaze like each other."
Keiko hit Yusuke. "I'm going to bed!"
The three girls went up to Blaze's room and found her on the window sill asleep.
"Yukina you can have the bed."
Yukina looked hesitant. "Are you sure Keiko? I can sleep on the floor."
Keiko smiled. "It's fine. Botan and I will sleep on the floor! You go on ahead and take the bed, I'm sure Blaze would let you sleep on the bed anyways!"
Yukina smiled. "Ok, then I'll sleep on the bed."
The three girls changed into their pajamas and went to sleep.
An hour later Blaze's eyes opened. She looked at the sleeping girls and then at the fountain in the corner on the opposite side of the room.
Her voice was just below a whisper so that she wouldn't wake the girls. "What am I supposed to do?" She looked at the stars and felt tears coming to her eyes. She blinked them away. "I'm so lost… I don't know what to do. How am I supposed to act around Hiei now?"
She then remembered the dare Botan gave Hiei. "Now we're a couple? This is truly crazy…" She got off of the window sill and walked to the door. She walked out quietly and went down the stairs and into the kitchen.
The house was dark so she turned on the light above the stove and opened the fridge and got the gallon of milk. Blaze poured the milk into a glass and set it on the counter. She put the gallon back in the fridge and sat on the counter and drank her milk at a slow pace.
"I thought I heard someone come down here."
Blaze looked up and saw Kurama. She smiled at him in hopes of covering the confusion that was engulfing her mind. "Hello itoko-san, I just couldn't get any sleep."
Kurama went towards her and stood in front of her. "What's on your mind so much that you couldn't get any sleep?"
The neko finished off the milk and put the glass in the sink. She wiped her mouth clean of the milk and looked down at his hands on her knees. "It's nothing itoko-san."
"You shouldn't lie to me."
"I just… don't know."
"What do you not know Blaze?"
"I don't know what to do. I look at my life and what's happened to me and don't get any of it." Her fingers went to the gem around her neck and started to toy with it.
Kurama's emerald gaze fell onto the gem. "Where'd you get that?"
Blaze looked at him and saw he was looking at the gem. She looked away. "It came with a poem and handkerchief from a guy. I think… I think I love this guy, itoko-san and I don't know what to do."
Kurama looked at her and smiled. He hugged her and she returned the hug. "Be yourself, if he loves you back then he'll want you to just be yourself. Don't try to please him ok Blaze?"
The neko nodded. What if Hiei did love her back? How was she supposed to act herself if even she didn't know how she herself acted? Blaze couldn't ever remember being this confused in her life.
Kurama pulled away from Blaze and smiled brightly. "I'll see you in the morning. You get some sleep now ok?"
Blaze nodded and smiled at him as he walked out of the kitchen.
After a few minutes Blaze hopped off of the counter and turned off the stove light. She walked back to her room and stopped at the closed door. She looked at the door next to hers, Hiei's room.
Blaze looked down and sighed. "If only I were in a cat form right now…" As she said that she shrank in size and her whole body changed until she was a maroon colored sat, the tips of her tail and ears black. She blinked and looked at her paws.
I… I have the ability to change into a cat? Whoa… that's something you don't learn every day.
The she-cat walked to Hiei's room door and jumped up and hit the door knob upwards. It turned and she landed on her feet. The door opened slightly and she snuck in. The room was pitch black but she could see perfectly. She saw Hiei lying on his back on the bed near the window. She closed the door and walked over to the bed. She jumped gracefully onto Hiei's stomach and lay down, closing her eyes.
Hiei stroked her fur lightly.
The she-cat curled up into a ball and began to purr. The sound was soft but loud.
Hiei pulled her up and stared at her. She opened her eyes and stared back at him. The gem on the string hung around her neck loosely but did not fall off. He placed her down and propped himself up with his elbows.
"What are you doing in my room shoujo?" His crimson optics did not hold anger, but something Blaze could not define.
The she-cat looked down at the black covers that rested on top of the fire demon. I… I don't know for sure…
Hiei sighed and plucked her off of his stomach and held her in his arms. "You're hopeless shoujo."
Blaze looked up at him. His eyes were closed and he appeared to be asleep. He turned onto his side and she lay close to him, his arm over her protectively. She began to purr softly as she fell asleep. The last thing she thought was an image.
And image of herself not as a cat, but her usual form, lying next to Hiei with his arm over her protectively.
She changed form in her sleep and Hiei did not stir. His arm tightened around her when she changed form.
The purring from Blaze did not stop even in her usual form. She cuddled closer to Hiei as if searching for warmth.
Hiei opened his eyes and smiled at the sleeping girl. This is something precious. I know it is… but why do I feel this? The Forbidden Child isn't supposed to love. Am I in love? Do I really want to make sure she never cries again?
Only the silence answered his questions.
Hiei kissed her forehead and fell asleep.
The figure in the darkness stepped out. "You better take care of my sister, Hiei of the Jagan." The figure's eyes shone brightly under the black hood. They were the same as Blaze's eyes. He pulled the hood down to reveal the guy with the maroon roots and dark blue hair. "I'll kill you myself if you hurt her." His voice was below a whisper. "Don't let her go back to that place… Don't let her go Hiei Jaganshi."
With that said, he disappeared into a black and blue portal.
In the morning
Yukina was the first to wake. She sat up and saw nothing of her neko friend. She quickly got up and went to Keiko and Botan. She shook them both; she was scared something had happened to her friend.
"Botan-chan, Keiko-chan, wake up! I think someone kidnapped Blaze!"
The two sat up quickly. "What?"
Yukina shook her head. "Shhh, we must not wake the others, they might tear the place apart looking for her!"
The girls quickly got dressed and combed their hair. They raced out of the room. Botan stopped them outside of the neko's room. "We could ask Hiei to find her… I mean he does have the Jagan eye."
The two girls nodded and went to the kajihenge's bedroom door. They paused, hearing voices in his room.
"Oh Hiei, you shouldn't go so easy on me, why don't you go a little rough?"
The girls barged in. "Hiei, get your hands off of--!"
They stopped in mid sentence when they saw that Hiei and Blaze were both holding a katana. Blaze was on the defense while Hiei was on the offense.
Blaze raised an eyebrow at them and then laughed.
All four of them looked at her weird.
"Why are you laughing shoujo?" Hiei asked as he sheathed his katana.
Blaze wiped away a laughter caused tear as she calmed herself down. "They barged in right after I said that you should go a little rough. If someone just walked up to a door and heard a girl saying that to a guy, they would get the wrong impression." While Blaze was saying this trying not to laugh she was blushing.
Keiko saw this and smirked. She elbowed Botan and they exchanged a look. Botan looked at Blaze curiously.
"Oh Blaze, where'd you go off to last night? I woke up and didn't see you around."
Blaze blushed and smiled. "I got thirsty in the middle of the night and went to go get some milk. That must've been while you woke up. But I went back and went to sleep."
Keiko continued with Botan's plan. She shook her head and gave Blaze a stern look. "Botan woke me up to go see if you were in the kitchen. I didn't see you in the kitchen."
Blaze kept her cool but couldn't help the blush. "You might've not have seen me going back to the room."
Yukina shook her head. "She would've seen you, there's only one way to the rooms, and one pathway to the kitchen."
Blaze looked down.
Botan and Keiko smiled. "We're going to catch you later Blaze, Botan has work to do and I have to get caught up on a project. Yukina goes to see Genkai so we'll all see you later."
The three girls left with smiles on their faces.
After a few moments Keiko came rushing back. "I almost forgot to give you these."
She handed Blaze two amusement park tickets. Blaze took them hesitantly. "Why are you giving these to me?"
Keiko smiled and blew her a kiss from the door. "It'll be yours and Hiei's first official date as a couple!"
Blaze blushed again and looked down.
Keiko had left with Botan and Yukina after she gave the blushing neko the tickets.
Kurama walked in with a smile. "You two should get ready then. I already have some breakfast made, it won't be long until the other two get out of bed. Why don't you two get an early start?"
Blaze shuffled her feet. "I'm not sure… It's just… Well Hiei isn't really the type to go and have fun…"
The neko's ears went flat in embarrassment as she felt Hiei glaring at her.
Kurama pulled her away with a chuckle. "I'm sure Hiei has some ordinary clothes in his closet. He'll make sure you have a good time, he is your boyfriend after all."
Blaze shrugged Kurama's hand away from her and walked into her room. She closed the door and went to the restroom. She sighed and stripped down to take her shower.
After Blaze got out of the shower she put on a clean pair of undergarments and sifted through her clothes. She found a nice red school girl skirt and a white blouse. She put them on and put her ankle socks on before putting on her black tennis shoes that masked all sound. She looked in the mirror and sighed. "I should really do something about that tail… I wish there was someway it could just go away for a while."
The maroon tail started to shrink. The wide eyed neko turned to take a good look at her rump and saw that her tail wasn't there.
The neko smiled and stood straight. "It looks as if I can control my cat appearance!" She looked at her ears and smiled. "Now those are easy to hide." She went and grabbed a black scarf type thing and covered her ears with it. She then tied her hair back with white ribbon, the tie going down about 6 inches and keeping her hair in check.
There was a soft knock on her door as if the person forced themselves to knock on the door.
"Come in Hiei." Blaze walked out of the bathroom as Hiei walked in. She went into her closet and searched for a small purse.
Hiei went to the window and sat on the sill.
Blaze walked out of the closet with a small black handbag and looked at Hiei.
Hiei was wearing a pair of jeans, a loose muscle shirt, a jacket and a pair of black tennis shoes.
Blaze looked away quickly and went to her desk. She found her wallet and put it in the handbag. She quickly went into the bathroom and took the two tickets and stuffed them into the bag as well.
Blaze was nervous, and she knew perfectly well why. Blaze smiled at Hiei from the bedroom door. "Come on Hiei; let's go get something to eat before the idiots wake up!"
The nervous neko opened the door and ran down to the kitchen. Kurama smiled at his cousin and handed her a bowl of rice and an omelet on a plate.
Blaze always ate a bowl of rice and an omelet for breakfast.
Blaze took them with a smile and sat down at the dining table. She took the chopsticks and began to eat.
Kurama handed the same thing to Hiei and the kajihenge went to the opposite side of the table and began to eat.
The two finished just as a sleepy Yusuke and Kuwabara walked into the dining room.
The two idiots looked at Blaze and then at Hiei. Kurama gave them a plate of food quickly and smiled back at Blaze.
"You might want to leave now before the two actually start to wake up," he told her in a whisper.
Blaze nodded and looked at Hiei who was already getting up. She followed suit and they walked out into the living room where they saw a portal.
Botan… You had this all planned…
Blaze hesitated to go into the portal. She'd been through many portals before but this one didn't lead to her work, this lead to the date her and Hiei were to go on.
Hiei glared and took the hesitant neko's hand. He pulled her through the portal with them and they appeared in the cluster of some trees near the amusement park. They walked out and saw a few people.
Blaze and Hiei walked to the entrance and Blaze handed over the two tickets.
The lady smiled at Blaze. "You two have fun."
Blaze looked down and Hiei pulled her forward, still holding her hand.
The neko walked a little bit behind Hiei and stared at their intertwined fingers. A small smile formed on her lips and her cheeks tinted pink. She walked a little quicker and held onto his arm with a smile.
Hiei looked at her a little weird but didn't attempt to pry her off. "Today we're going to have fun, no fighting and no missions! Let's have fun today, ok Hiei?" She looked at him with a smile.
Hiei looked at her and then ahead with a nod.
The two went to game stands where Hiei just stood and watched Blaze play the games.
He suppressed a laugh a couple of times when she played that game where you get the ring onto the bottles neck. He took the rings from her and tossed them. He got the remaining rings onto the same bottle neck. He pointed to the small white tiger.
Blaze smiled brightly and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Hiei."
The guy in charge of the stand handed her the small tiger with a smile. "He is your boyfriend; he's supposed to do things like that."
Blaze held the tiger close with a blush. She smiled at the clerk guy. "Thank you, sir."
Hiei and Blaze walked away.
"Let's go get something to eat." Hiei took her hand and led her to a Roasted Corn stand.
Blaze waited off to the side while Hiei paid for two roasted corns. He came back and handed one to her. They went to a bench and sat down.
Blaze finished first and tossed what was left of it into the trash bin nearby. Hiei tossed it as well and sat back.
Blaze looked at the ground.
Hiei put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. The neko looked up at him. He smirked. "Why don't we go on some rides now?"
Blaze blinked and then smiled. "Yeah, let's go on some rides."
Near the time for sunset, Hiei and Blaze got out of the Haunted House. Blaze was holding onto Hiei's arm with a smile and blushing.
She pointed to the Ferris wheel and Hiei looked at where she was pointing. "Let's go on the Ferris wheel now Hiei."
Hiei sighed and they walked to the Ferris wheel.
They got on after some time. Blaze continued to look at her feet.
After a few moments Hiei put a finger on her chin and lifted her face up slightly so that she was staring at him. "We're at the top shoujo."
Blaze hid a blush and they looked out the window. The sun was setting on the horizon. It looked like flames over the town.
Hiei turned her face so that she was looking at him again. He pressed his lips to hers.
Blaze sat there, her eyes closed and her cheeks tinted pink. The kiss deepened.
As their car slowly made its way down, the two started making out for the second time that day.
Earlier
Blaze and Hiei walked through the dark haunted house. There were startled screams ahead from some girls, probably with their boyfriends.
At the point where the girls had screamed, a zombie popped out right in front of Blaze. She suppressed a scream for that, acting like she knew it was there. Only a second after they started walking, something grabbed her foot.
The neko shivered and shook the fake hand off of her foot. A moment later the neko was freaking out over shadows. When a ghost swooped down in front of her she screamed. She buried her face into Hiei's chest and held his shirt tightly.
The kajihenge put his arms around her waist and held her close.
For a moment they stayed like that. Then Blaze looked up into his crimson optics and felt her knees go weak.
Hiei pressed her against the wall and kissed her fiercely.
Blaze put her arms around his neck as they started making out in the shadows as other people passed by.
After a minute or two they pulled away and looked into each others eyes.
Hiei kissed her a couple more times before pulling her out of the shadows. She held onto his arm with a smile and blushing as they walked out of the haunted house.
Back to the now
Hiei broke the kiss and his lips trailed down to her neck. He kissed the nape of her neck.
The Ferris wheel stopped suddenly and the car they were in rocked. Hiei pulled away from Blaze, also realizing where his hand was a pulled it away as well.
Blaze blushed and sat back. She pulled her skirt down and they both looked out the window to see what was happening.
There were two groups of guys looking like they were going to fight. The person in charge of running the Ferris wheel had stopped the ride so that no one would get hurt.
Hiei and Blaze looked at each other.
Blaze nodded. "We have to get down there. There are demons in those two groups."
Hiei nodded and started to open the door.
He opened it and Blaze got in the doorway. Hiei glared at her. "What in the three worlds do you think you're doing?"
The wind blew at Blaze and her skirt attempted to go up. She held it down coolly and looked around, not answering Hiei.
Hiei went to pull her back but she jumped out and started falling towards the ground.
There were screams from people down below and Hiei yelling at her.
The neko reached her hand out to the side and someone caught it as she passed a car. She looked up to see a smiling Botan and Kurama.
Blaze smiled. "I knew I felt you here itoko-san."
The kitsune shook his head. "How'd you know I was in this car?"
Blaze dropped all emotion. "Lucky guess, now swing me out that way." She pointed in the direction of the horizon where the sky was pink and red from where the sun was.
Kurama started to protest but did it anyway. Everyone was looking up at her, the guys probably up her skirt.
"Let go now!"
Kurama let go of the neko's wrist and she flipped and grabbed onto lamp post. She panted slightly. "Well that was a lucky estimate." She pulled herself up and stood on top of the lap post and glared at the two gangs.
"Why do you start a fight and endanger innocent people!"
The two gangs smiled at her.
"We were waiting for you to appear." One of the leaders said.
"Get her, the first group to get her, keeps her!" The other leader yelled.
Blaze glared at them and as an instinct went for her katana. She cursed and jumped off of the lamp post. She began to run, being chased by a horde of demons and humans.
"How gay is this? A cat being the mouse in this little chase… This is pathetic."
Shoujo, go to the Haunted House. The rest of us will meet you there inside. You'll find us. Hiei's voice was soothing in the neko's racing mind.
Thank you Hiei, I appreciate the help.
You're lucky Kuwabara thought to bring our katanas.
Blaze almost stopped dead in her tracks but continued running towards the Haunted House. That's… That's ama—
Blaze was cut off by a couple of demons appearing in front of her, causing her to halt to a stop.
She was instantly surrounded.
Shoujo, what's wrong?
Blaze didn't answer.
"We've got you now little kajihenge neko. There's no way you can escape. You don't even have control of all of your power."
Blaze glared at all of them. "Get. Out. Of. My. Way."
The demon's laughed.
Shoujo, tell me what's wrong!
Hiei's voice was faint in her mind.
Blaze could feel her body heat rising. Her hands caught on fire, causing the demons to jump. The scarf covering her ears burned off to reveal her ears flat against her head in anger. "You bastards, I'll kill you all."
She raised her hands and then dropped them again, her palms facing the ground. The flame engulfed her body and her hair started to whip around in a non existent wind.
The fire around her body started to grow in diameter.
The demons were backing away, frightened.
The neko glared at them and the fire got sucked in and then out again with a loud roar. It engulfed all of the demons and the top of the fire dome could be seen around the whole park. The fire quickly got sucked back into Blaze. There were burnt and bleeding bodies all around Blaze. The fire disappeared, leaving Blaze to shiver.
The neko started to walk towards the Haunted House. She was out of sight of the charred demons when she saw the gang and the tree girls running up.
The girls had tears of joy when they saw she was perfectly ok.
The guys looked at her full of worry.
Blaze smiled. "Don't be so worried. I'm perfectly fine!"
"What was the fire dome?" Yusuke asked curiously.
Blaze shrugged. "One minute I'm surrounded, the next I feel angrier than ever. My body temperature was rising to a dangerous level. My hands caught on fire, then my whole body was on fire, then I created this… attack and killed them all." The neko smiled. "It's way bigger and packs more power than my Black Flame!"
They all had a shiver run down their backs. Blaze's Black Flame used to be her most deadly attack. Just the aura it created with the fire sent chills down their backs, but the destruction it left in its path was unbearable.
Hiei handed Blaze her katana. The neko took it with a smile. "Thank you Hiei! And thank you Kuwabara!" She smiled at Kuwabara.
Before the idiot could make any remark, the neko yawned. "I'm pretty tired. That attack took a lot out of me, not to mention how much I walked today. Could we go home now?"
The others, except for Hiei, laughed at her. They nodded and walked off.
Hiei stayed behind with her and handed her the stuffed tiger and her purse. "You forgot these."
Blaze took them and hugged the kajihenge. "Thank you Hiei. I really had fun with you today. Maybe we can go out on another date sometime soon."
Hiei nodded and held onto her waist, keeping her close as they walked. "Sure, that sounds good."
Blaze smiled and huggeled Hiei again. (I had to put that! My friends and I use that all the time! -)
After they got out of the amusement park, Blaze stopped Hiei.
He looked at her with no emotion.
"Could you carry me? I feel like I'm going to fall over." She was half asleep and Hiei couldn't help but come close to smiling. He stopped himself and picked her up bridal style.
The neko wrapped her arms around his neck with a smile and fell asleep.
Hiei walked on, catching up to the others quickly.
This is stupid. I shouldn't feel this way about her. It only brings more danger to her. I don't know how she does it! How does she make me want to be with her all the time? This is annoying; could this really be that baka ningen feeling they call love? No… It can't be.
Kurama looked back at Hiei and Blaze and smiled. He saw the confused glare Hiei was giving the sleeping neko in his arms. Hiei doesn't know how to take how he feels about Blaze.
Kurama could remember how he would try to push Blaze away by ignoring her and continuously glaring at her. He would always give her the cold shoulder. But somehow, none of the kajihenge's plans worked.
Kurama would see him staring at Blaze's reflection in the window whenever she was in the same room as them. Kurama would always see the glint of longing in Hiei's eyes when the kajihenge didn't realize anyone was looking.
Kurama looked ahead, the smile still on his lips. Hiei and Blaze really do love each other. They just needed a little push.
After some time, Botan opened a portal in an ally and they all walked in.
Hiei was the first to walk away when they got back to the gangs' quarters in Spirit World. "I'll go put Blaze in her room."
No one argued with him as he walked up the stairs.
The girls smiled.
"They are so cute together." Keiko said with a smile.
"I can't help but agree with you there Keiko."
They all looked at Kuwabara and Yusuke with wide eyes.
Kurama recovered the quickest and shook his head with a smile. "I'm going to go make sure Blaze is ok." He started up the stairs.
Yukina smiled at the two.
Keiko poked Yusuke. "Are you an imposter? Why is there no smart remark about Hiei and Blaze? Who are you and what'd you do with Yusuke?"
Yusuke gave her a fake glare and then went to sit on the couch. "I just think it's time that Hiei found someone he loves. I think Blaze can actually change Hiei."
Kuwabara nodded in agreement and sat down as well. "Yeah, sure we pick on the shrimp a lot but even that cold shorty needs love."
Yukina went and sat next to Kuwabara and hugged his arm.
Keiko and Botan shook their heads in disbelief.
Kurama stopped near Blaze's door, having heard Blaze speak.
"Huh? How'd I…?"
"I brought you here."
Blaze smiled at the kajihenge that was sitting at her desk. "Thank you Hiei. Thank you for today and bringing me to my room."
Kurama smiled and went to his room. She's in good, safe hands. I'll still look out for her, but I can't always be there for her.
Hiei looked away from Blaze and shrugged. "It was nothing…" He trailed of from adding anything else.
Blaze smiled at him. "You know, you really are a sweet guy, why do you act so cold?" She got out of the bed and started to walk over to him.
He looked at her in wonder. "To protect myself of course."
Why am I telling her this? It can't be her powers; she's only a kajihenge neko youkai.
Blaze leaned forward and put her forehead against his. "You know, I was doing the same thing. I would always push people away so I wouldn't get hurt. I never trusted people because of my foster parents. But when I met you four, I instantly knew I could trust you all." She lowered her voice to below a whisper, "Especially you Hiei…"
Blaze's cheeks tinted pink. They stared into each others eyes.
Hiei slowly moved forward to kiss her but stopped a little bit before his lips met hers. Blaze closed the space between their lips and closed her eyes.
Hiei pulled her closer. Blaze sat on his lap, on leg on either side of him, her skirt going up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Hiei's hand trailed up her leg and he put his tongue in her mouth and hers in his.
Hiei's hand stopped at her panty line. Blaze's hand went for his and stopped him but continued kissing him.
No Hiei, not now, I'm not ready.
Sorry… I just got… carried away…
Blaze pulled away from him and smiled. "As long as I know that you want a real relationship."
Hiei glared at her. "I've never even been in love shoujo."
Blaze smiled and leaned closer to him and whispered into his ear. "I love you too Hiei."
Hiei realized what he'd said and his cheeks tinted the slightest bit of pink.
Blaze nibbled his earlobe slightly before getting off of his lap. She straightened her skirt out and took the ribbon out of her hair.
Hiei leaned back and stared at her.
Blaze stuck her tongue out at him and went to her closet. She went in and grabbed a pair of short black shorts and a black tank top out. She went to the rest room and closed the door. She changed and brushed her teeth.
Maybe I shouldn't get too serious with Hiei. I am going to be leaving in the next six days…
The conversation she had with the onni neko came back to her.
But if what that guy said was true… then I should really stay here. And if I stay here, then I can actually have a real relationship with Hiei.
The neko rinsed her mouth out with water and spit it out. She rinsed her tooth brush and put it in its spot.
She went back into her room to see Hiei reading something at her desk. She went over to the window and sat on it. She looked at what he was reading and then looked away.
"Is this why you haven't been on any missions with us for the past month?"
Blaze didn't answer for a while but then nodded. "Yeah, being a spy and trying to get into the Order was pretty tough."
"But don't you still have one more stage to go?"
Blaze smiled and looked at him. He was looking at her. "I don't plan on going back." She looked out the window before finishing. "A source of mine from within the Order told me that they know who I am and they decided to kill me if I go back. He's going to keep me updated on what's happening."
Hiei reached out and took her hand. "Why do you trust this guy? Maybe he's the one who rated you out the Order."
Blaze looked at him and smiled. "There's something about him. I don't know what it is, but there's a connection between us. I don't know what it is but I think I can trust him. And what's weird is he looks like me."
Hiei blink and his head tilted to the side. "Looks like you? How is that possible?"
Blaze paused and stared at the confused kajihenge. She squealed and glomped him. "You look so cute when you're confused!"
Hiei would've pulled an anime fall if it wasn't for the fact he was already on the floor.
Blaze sat up and smiled down at Hiei. "Sorry, I just couldn't help it. You looked so cute."
Hiei gave her a playful glare. "Am I only cute?"
Blaze shook her head quickly with a slight blush. "N-no not at all!"
Hiei raised an eyebrow. "So, what am I other than cute to you?"
Blaze blushed and shrugged slightly. "Well you're… You're hot…"
Hiei smirked. "Is that all?"
Blaze shook her head and stood up. She stared to walk away when Hiei grabbed her ankle and she fell.
She looked at him with slight anger. "What the hell is your problem?"
Hiei smirked. "What else other than that?"
Blaze sat up and put her hands on her knees. "Well I think you're uh… I think… you're… sexy…" The last word was said under her breathe.
Hiei sat up and leaned in and kissed her harshly. He pulled away and smiled. "Well I think you're pretty sexy yourself."
Blaze smiled with a blush and stood up. "Th-thank you Hiei, I appreciate it." She stretched and went to her bed. "I'm going to bed, see you in the morning." She crawled under the cover and went to sleep.
Hiei stood and stared at her. He sighed and went to the door. He walked out and closed the door.
Little did anyone know there was someone in the room with Blaze when Hiei exited.
The person stepped out of the shadows in a loose black cloak. He set a folded paper on the desk and shimmered out of the room.
Lyra: Blaze wants to thank everyone who reviews. She's not here at the moment… She is currently hidden behind a stack of paper. She's studying for the TAKS tests at our school next week.
Blaze: looking over notes You should be too Lyra-chan…
Lyra: Well I'm doing something you should be doing Blaze. I'm not going to put people who reviewed, you could see who reviewed for yourself I'm just here to tell all of you who did that she is very thankful!
