Chapter 16: The sweet finale

'Yusuke! No fair!' Keiko yelled as Yusuke splashed her when she had just gone in. They had a splashing fight, and Botan joined in for no reason, as well as Kuwabara. Genkai just watched along with Koenma, and Shizuru and Yukina were making a sand castle. Timber was running around, and Kurama laughed at her. They later played spin the bottle, in which the dares were stupid, like diss Kuwabara, or play with Kurama's hair and make it pretty, etc. They all were having fun, though, and were glad to be together.

Hiei and Phire, on the other hand, had gone to Paris from Natura; Phire had a teleporting machine in Natura to Paris France. They had explored Paris, and even watched French Broadway plays, in which they made fun of the accents, and later, they had gone to a hotel, and had gotten one room with two beds.

'Phire, I never would have thought you would have the time to actually take me here,' Hiei told her as he took his shirt off; he didn't feel awkward in front of Phire, as she had seen him once in his boxers; now Timber, on the other hand, well… that's a different story. It was pretty hot in Paris 104°C, though, that day, and Phire changed her pants into shorts, but she had gone into the bathroom for that she, on the other hand, felt very awkward to change in front of Hiei. She also changed her t-shirt and wore a tang top. When she came out, Hiei was a little surprised, and felt a bit warmer than the temperature

'So Phire,' he started saying, but she turned the TV on, and he forgot what he was going to say, and Family Guy was on. She had her back to the pillows, and Hiei sat next to her the same way.

'I'm so bored right now,' she said after half the show was done. Hiei nodded, and when she was a bit off guard, he pushed her off of the bed and jumped on her, and started tickling her.

'Hiei, stop!' she cried in laughter all over again. He smiled, and then stopped after an hour. He helped Phire wipe the blood off of her face, and helped her up. She quickly used terekineshisu to get the biggest pillow into her hand and hit Hiei right in the face, causing him to fall back on the ground. He used telepathy to get his own pillow for defense, but it ripped, as Phire's was much stronger, and she chased him across the room as he had gotten up and ran, but she tackled him to the bed and continued hitting him.

'Mwa ha ha! I am cheetah! Hear me cry! La!' Phire yelled. Hiei sweat dropped.

'Did you have coke again, Phire?' he asked, still defending. She nodded. Apparently, coke seemed to make Phire high.

It was around 9 that they decided to have dinner on top of the Eiffel tower. They had changed, or else Hiei wore a muscle top and jeans, while Phire wore a tang top and jeans as well. The others were telling ghost stories outside, as they all decided to sleep outside of the temple, and the ghost stories mostly had Kuwabara in it.

'Are you two a couple?' the person at the front desk asked Phire and Hiei in a French accent. They blushed and shook their heads.

'No, we are just friends,' Phire told him. The receptionist was surprised, but then showed them to a very secluded table with the moon's rays gleaming upon it. Everybody eating started coughing when they saw the two sit down, and Phire and Hiei glared death at them, and they all became silent.

'This table has a nice view of the river, eh Hiei?' Phire told Hiei. Phire was looking out into the horizon, and the river had gleamed with the luminosity of the lights that were along its edges. Romantic music was played, but then stopped when Hiei glared at the musician.

'What? I barely have money,' he told him. Hiei sighed, and let him continue. The waiter arrived.

'What would you two like to order?' he asked in his strange French accent. Hiei didn't look at the menu.

'Do you have that smelly, but really good cheese you French people make?' Hiei asked. Phire giggled.

'We'll take 2 baguettes French for 'French bread' and Mousse au Chocolat chocolate mousse, please?' Phire told the waiter. Hiei never knew that Phire knew French. How strange for a demon. The waiter was happy that at least someone knew French.

'Your order will come in 7 minutes,' the waiter told Phire. She nodded, and the waiter left.

'Phire, since when did you know French?' Hiei asked, confused. Phire giggled.

'Kiyuna once made me study in France, so I was forced to take French,' she told Hiei. He nodded.

'Ah, that makes sense,' Hiei told her. Phire looked out and saw the beautiful smooth, dark chocolate like river streaming down, and the candle like lights making it radiant.

'Here you go, madame,' he served the French bread and the chocolate mousses. Hiei laughed when he saw the chocolate mousses. The waiter left.

'Timber would probably buy all of it, eh?' Hiei told Phire, who laughed as well.

'Let's just enjoy this peaceful day,' she told him, eating. He kept looking at her, and when she was half done, she noticed that Hiei didn't even have one bite of his food.

'Hiei, you should'- Phire looked back at Hiei and just went quiet. She and Hiei shook their heads and continued eating. Phire was a bit red, and Hiei felt embarrassed.

After they finished, they decided to look at the moon from one of the edges of the tower. It was a beautiful night, and fireflies made hearts in the air with the lights they had. Phire noticed it and then looked down. Hiei noticed it a little later and looked at Phire.

'Hey, Phire?' Hiei asked her, tilting her head up with his hand. She felt a little shy, and the two just stood there, not moving. Hiei, after 10 years, grew and was close to Phire's height, but Phire was somewhat as tall as Yusuke, which wasn't very tall, by the way.

'Yes, Hiei?' she answered. The two went closer, and finally realized how close they were when their mouths almost touched and their arms were around each other.

'I…' Hiei didn't finish what he was going to say, as he said it… well, more like he kissed her. Phire felt the same and kissed him back, and the two stayed like that for a long time.
