I've decided to go into first person point of view. And since it's easier for me, you will be seeing the world through Karei's eyes.

"Ow," I groaned and sat up. Pain shot through my entire body and I collapsed back on an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar room. It took me a moment to realize I was in Kurama's room as the strong scent of roses clogged my nose. I coughed and sighed heavily.

All that ran through my mind was, 'stupid fire demon, stupid fire demon.' You see, mother had always told her not to go near fire demons, she warned me and said I'd get hurt. But, of course, I don't listen to anything she ever said. It lead me into a lot of trouble, too. Like when I...Oh right, you don't know the story. Well, you'll probably find it out sooner or later.

Kurama pushed the door opened and as he examined my still beaten body, his eyes glittered. I rolled my eyes and cleared my throat to tell him I was awake. Almost instantly, he blushed and let his eyes fall to the ground. I guess he wasn't just looking to make sure I was better.

"What do you want?" I grumbled and rose as slowly as I could. There was still pain, but not as much as before.

"Well, I was going to see if you were awake," Kurama muttered, trying to sound confident. He was lying, it was obvious. For a famous kitsune crook, he didn't know how to lie.

I smirked and threw my burning legs over the bed. I ignored the searing pain in my stomach and stared at Kurama. Our eyes locked contact and he grinned at me. "I see you are feeling better," Kurama laughed and held his hand out to me. I wasn't sure what he was suggesting, so I just gave him my hand and he helped me up.

As we walked out of the room, Kurama explained to me Hiei's current condition. It turned out his neck was still bleeding. Serves the baka right for calling me a slut.

"Why can't you two just get along?" Kurama stared down at me, his eyes were sad and full of what seemed to be pain. I shrugged and thought for a moment. What had triggered these intense feelings I had for Hiei? I didn't understand it, myself.

"I don't know," I murmured and turned to go to the kitchen. Kurama followed me inside and opened the refrigerator. "I-just. When I first saw him, I had this feeling three eyes were watching me and it made me feel almost..."

"Uncomfortable?" Kurama cut me off and poured himself a glass of champagne. This surprised me. Kurama seemed to be the type who wouldn't drink.

"Yeah. No. Maybe. I don't know," I leaned on the counter and bit my lip. These feelings I had for Hiei, whatever they were, were strong. He annoyed me and made me angry and I had no idea why.

"Sounds like you both need to talk something out," Kurama threw his head back and let the alcohol slip down his throat. His shook his head and looked at me, narrowing his eyes. "He said the same exact thing."

"Is that strong?" I asked, trying to avoid the topic.

"What?"

"The champagne?"

"Huh?" Kurama looked confused and realized that he made it look like he didn't enjoy the champagne. "Oh, no. It's not. I don't know why I do that, it's a habit I guess."

"Oh." He rubbed his eyes violently and yawned. I glanced over at the clock and realized it was 3 in the morning. Since I was in his bed, Kurama hadn't gotten any sleep. Well, I felt kind of bad. "Well, I'm going to sleep," I said, hoping that he would get some sleep too. His emerald eye's stared at me as I passed him to leave the kitchen. Why did he always look at me like that? Was

it possible that Kurama was...

Nah.

My room, Hiei's room, whatever you want to call it, smelled of blood and the smell made me feel nautious(Um...I don't know how to spell this word). Hiei was sleeping on his bed, softly mumbling in his sleep. My hatred for him was suddenly overcome as I stared at the demon. His deadly, crimson eyes were shut so they wouldn't glare at me. His lips were puckered and they were slightly open. The blanket on top of him was moving up and down very slightly. I admired his curves and body structure that the blanket showed off.

On his neck was a small bandage, the spot where I bit him. The white piece of cloth had a red spot in the exact center. I found myself at his side. My entire body seemed to freeze as his breath softly hit my face.

Hiei's eyes snapped open and I jumped back in shock. His mouth stretched wide open and he let out a long, low yawn. It took him a moment to realize I was only a few inches away from him.

"YOU!" he shouted and sat up. I struggled quickly to my feet and attempted to run out of the room, but Hiei had tackled me to the floor. My stomach was lying against the cold, wood floor as Hiei's own body was on top of mine. Both my arms were pinned over my head. Hiei's teeth sunk into my neck and I moaned loudly, trying to move my feet. Like most people, he was heavier than me. He pushed his feet tight against mine, not allowing me to kick either.

"Ger'oof!" I screamed, my voice was muffled by the floor. Hiei swung his legs and sat up, still sitting on my back.

"Baka," he growled and finally retrieved back to his bed. I lay on the floor, blood gushing out of my neck. I hated that fire demon. No, I loathed him. Killing him would be my greatest joy. But then, I would loose all my new friends. I cursed Hiei under my breath and crawled to my bed. Making myself comfortable, I quickly fell into a dreamless sleep.

The sun awoke me in the morning and I looked over to Hiei's bed. He was awake and staring at the ceiling. His crimson eyes quickly snapped toward me and he glared intensely at me. I snickered but decided not to glare back. There was no point and all it would do was lead to another fight.

"Hn." I locked my eyes upon his red orbs. He wasn't glaring at me anymore and instead he had a soft look in his eyes.

The first sign of actual emotion in the demon. It was quite surprising.

I stared at him, trying to imitate the look in his eyes. He smirked and looked away, his cheeks turning pink. The second sign of emotion. Wow, he was on a roll.

"Yo," Yusuke pushed the door open. There was a gigantic grin on his lips, taking over his entire face. "Get up! There's news!" Hiei sat up and looked at Yusuke. The two held eye contact as I looked back and forth.

"Well, what's the news?" I snapped, hoping to break the awkward stare. Yusuke glanced over to me, his big brown eyes seemed to get bigger.

"What's the news? I'll tell you the news! Just get up first!" Yusuke exclaimed and slammed the door as hard as he could. Of course, him being Yusuke, this was a little two hard and the door hinges broke. Hiei and I stared as the door collapsed to the floor, revealing the small party in the front room.

"What's everyone so happy about?" I asked Hiei, but he didn't reply. Instead, he got up and joined everyone in the front room. He really was extremely rude.

So, I followed him and found everyone laughing and patting Yusuke's back. I was confused for a long time, until someone finally decided to explain to me. Of course, the person was Kurama.

"Yusuke proposed to Keiko," he laughed and put his arm around my shoulder. I liked Kurama, well not crush like, but friend liked. He was an amazing person and he wasn't rude, unlike the stupid fire demon.

"Oh that's great!" I exclaimed, pretending to be excited. First of all, I didn't care that the two were going to get "narried" as Kurama called it...or maybe it wasmarried. But I really didn't care. Sure I was happy for them but did they really have to wait two months?
Second of all, my neck still hurt where Hiei had bitten me. I was kind of glad my hair covered the wound because then people would ask about it and bother me. That's usually what winded up happening. When I was finally...Oh yeah. You still don't know the story.

Back to third person POV

It was almost 10 and there was still celebration. Except now, Genkai had brought out her liquor collection. She, Keiko and Yukina were the only sober ones. Keiko didn't like to drink one bit and Yukina couldn't even handle one sip. Genkai decided she was going to be the responsible adult.

Kurama sprawled himself across the couch, laughing at something Yusuke had just said. The three sober women didn't find the joke funny at all, but everyone else found it hysterical. Yusuke chuckled himself and took another sip of Bacardi.

"These people are pathetic," Keiko whispered to Yukina and they giggled. Genkai shook her head and left the front room, trying not to step on the passed out Kuwabara. The alcohol didn't affect demons nearly as much as it did humans. It took three bottles of wine to get Yusuke drunk, and it took Hiei four. Now, they were all wasted and acting like a bunch of idiots.

Yukina watched as Karei playfully pushed Hiei and Hiei laughed. She shrugged and glanced at Keiko. "Well, at least they get along when they're drunk," she giggled and Keiko nodded, giggling herself. "Aw, look! They actually made eye contact without glaring at each other!" Yukina cooed, causing Keiko to go into a laughing frenzy.

"Hey Hiei, how do you really feel?" Karei asked, the words stumbling and falling from her mouth. Her impatient fingers tapped as she waited for a response.

Hiei dragged out 'about' as long as he could until he ran out of breath. He ended the long word with a loud 'tuh'. Karei shrugged and giggled, resting her head on his shoulder.

The entire room seemed to fall silent in Yukina's ears as she watched Karei cuddle against her brother. They really were perfect for each other. Their skin was the same, they both had amazing curves and they both had the same 'in your face' attitude. Of course there was the problem that they seemed to be mortal enemies. Yes, it was actually a big conflict.

Sorry it's short. And not the most interesting chapter. I'm sick and my head is bothering me. Until next time...
