Heya minna! It's good to be back in business!
'Not really...'
That's just because you have to work full time now Kit.
'No... It's because I have to suffer your abuse all the time now.'
Why you... I'll dress you up in a skirt again if you won't be nice.
'You can't do that. You promised you wouldn't ever do it again!'
Oh, right... Damn my honesty!
/sigh/ Oh, well.
Now with the REAL chapter 10!
Last Time:
"Hn. I doubt the hanyou will get jealous. There will be nothing to get jealous of. Now, if we're finished here, I'd like to get back to bed." "Yeah, okay. Just close your eyes," Midoriko instructed. Hiei glared at her suspiciously for a second, then closed his eyes. In a shimmer of white sparkles, he was gone. "This will be interesting, to say the least." Midoriko smirked happily. "I hope things go alright."
This Time:
Hiei's eyes snapped open, taking in his current wherabouts. "Hn, the onna wasn't lying." There was an audible sprinkle of surprise in his tone. A soft moan brought his attention to his bedmate, who obviously thought his arm was a pillow, judging by the way she was wrapped around it.
Hiei rolled his ruby red eyes in exasperation. Some days he thought that being locked up in Reikai jail wouldn't be so horrible... Today was turning out to be one of those days. Resigned, he tried to extract his arm from the onna's death grip, careful not to wake her. He could imagine all the noise she'd make over it.
Hiei growled, starting to get angry. The damn ningen just wouldn't let go! He tried to jerk away- to hell with being gentle- but then he froze. Kagome had rolled closer and put a hand on his chest, a dull pink glow emanating from it and spreading throughout his body. It did not purify him as he expected, but instead it somehow calmed him, easing his anger.
Hiei sighed, his eyes drooping. It was the first time since he was little that he was actually sleepy. 'I'll have time to be angry in the morning...'
PAGE BREAK
"Hiei! What the hell do you think you're doing!" The speed demon merely cracked an eye, recognizing the annoying yell as Yusuke's; having him as team leader didn't come without frequent earaches, after all. "What do you want, Detective?" Hiei asked, opening both eyes but not bothering to otherwise move.
"Whaddya mean, what do I want! I want you to get the fuck outta my cousin's bed, that's what I want!" The koorime opened his mouth, a witty reply at the ready to humiliate the loud Spirit Detective, but he was beaten to the punch by the girl he was lying next to.
"Yusuke, shut up or I will make you." Hiei looked at his leader, eyebrow raised. 'Is he going to let her tell him what to do?' He was shocked when not only did Yusuke stop shouting, but he also looked guilty. So far, Hiei had only seen this look on the Detective's face when it involved a broken promise to that ningen girl he liked, Keiko.
"Sorry, Kaggy. I just wasn't expecting to see Hiei sharing a bed with you." "What, are you trying to say that I'm ugly and Hiei would be too repulsed to get in bed with me!" Kagome asked, sitting up in order to glare at Yusuke properly.
The guy in question took a step back, gulping nervously. "I didn't- I mean, uh... I wasn't trying to- Oh, forget it." Yusuke said, sighing in defeat. With a last glance towards the occupants of the bed, Yusuke slouched out the door and into the hallway. Kagome darted out of bed, then closed and locked the door, giggling all the while.
She turned to look at Hiei, who was still lying down in bed, just staring at her. "And that's how you deal with a noisy cousin." Kagome said, winking cheekily. The fire demon didn't move, just continued to stare at her with his ruby-red eyes. She scowled at him.
"You know, I just saved you from my cousin's overprotective wrath. You could at least say thank you or something in that nature." Hiei blinked and said, "Hn," turning away to look at the wall. Kagome clenched her teeth. "Why you ungrateful little-" She stopped herself mid-sentence, not wanting to say something she might later regret.
Releasing a deep, calming breath, she continued. "You should get up. Everyone is already having breakfast in the kitchen." Hiei raised his eyebrow yet again. "And how would you know that?" Kagome clenched her fists in order to control the anger that bubbled up at his condescending tone and answered, "I have empath powers, among others. Those powers are telling me that everyone is enjoying Yukina's cooking."
Hiei looked skeptical. "Hn. I'm not sure whether your powers are correct. After all, you cannot control them." Kagome made a sound that came as close to a growl that a human throat could produce. "If you choose not to believe me, that's your problem, but I need to freshen up a bit. I expect you to be out of my room by the time I come out of the shower."
With that hanging in the air between them, Kagome stalked towards her bathroom door. "Hn. What can she do?" Hiei said, relaxing against the headboard. Within moments, he had fallen into a light slumber. 15 minutes later, Kagome emerged from the bathroom amid a cloud of steam, feeling refreshed and relaxed.
"That felt soo good." Kagome said, wrapping her towel tighter around her body. "What did you do in there?" Hiei asked, a smirk adorning his usually impassive face. Kagome yelped, not expecting him to still be in the room. "What do you think you're doing in here? I told you to get out! Don't you have any decency, I'm naked under here!"
Hiei smirked, shrugging his shoulders. "Better not drop that towel then." Kagome gasped indignantly, was he teasing her? "You little pervert! Get out of my room or I'll-" "Not this again. Your powers are now joined to mine, ningen. You can't harm me." "It's Kagome, three eyes!"
"Hn, is that the best you can do?" Kagome scowled, furious at the short demon for being able to outsmart her. "I might not be able to harm you enough to kill you, but I can still give you a little shock now and then." Kagome declared defiantly. Hiei smirked, he hadn't had this much fun since his fight with Yusuke.
"Don't worry, onna. I'll leave. I don't want to risk the possibility of seeing you without that towel. Who knows, you might be deformed and then I'll be scarred for life." Kagome's face heated up, whether from embarrassment or from anger Hiei couldn't be sure, but he decided that he liked the way she looked.
"Get OUT!" Hiei smirked, amusement dancing in his eyes. He was feeling very carefree today. It was... strange. "I'm going." He said, heading slowly towards the door. "You should work on controlling your emotions a little better though, onna." Hiei said as he stepped out into the hallway. "IT'S KAGOME, THREE EYES!" She shouted through the door.
Hiei smiled. It wasn't big, but it was there none the less.
Ah, done. I hope you enjoyed!
'They better...'
Shush Kit. I might have promised not to put you in a skirt, but I didn't say anything about a dress...
Keep that in mind, ok?
/gulp/ 'Heh, heh. Yeah...'
I also wanted to say that I'll do Reviewer Responses next chapter!
Anyway, please review! Ja ne!
