Ice: 'sighs' on with the story.
I sighed lying in bed, nothing better do but stare into an abyss of darkness. Sleep just didn't seem to want to over take me tonight. My mind was restless as was my body. I tossed and turned having the days events play in my mind. After a while I heaved out a giant sigh.
"This is starting to get really aggravating….and boring."
I stared at the ceiling for what seemed like forever. Finally through with staring at the endless dark ceiling, I climbed out of bed and head for the living room. Upon approaching the living room I saw that Hiei was sitting at the window sill glaring at his reflection and Kurama was reading a book.
"Damn why don't they ever sleep?" I mumbled to myself.
I walked towards them glaring at the back of Kurama's head. I plopped down beside Kurama and turned on the TV. I smiled as I noticed what show had popped on the screen
/"Queen of the Damned" My favorite movie./
I was enjoying my movie when I felt a glare on my back. I glanced up at Kurama to see him glaring at Hiei. I turned my glance towards the short demon on the sill.
To only see Hiei rise from the sill and leave.
I heard a sigh and "God he's so dense." Escape Kurama.
If it hadn't been for my excellent hearing I would have never heard him. I turned my attention back to the TV glaring. I felt Kurama scoot closer.
I tensed up and he stopped. I sighed out of irritation. I ignored the fox and kept my attention on the movie, not wanting to deal with him. Nothing happened for about 30 minutes through out the movie.
I smiled at the fact he had finally decided to leave me alone…Deciding against hurting the Kitsune I continued watching the movie. A silent tear traced the outline of my face as a vampire was killed.
I wiped my eyes smearing the tears that had fallen. Feeling an arm embrace my shoulder and pull me into a hold. I tensed up ready to pummel the fox, but when he made no other movements but kept his eyes on the TV.
I sighed, but did nothing more but watch the movie. Starting to fell sleep I leaned my head on Kurama's shoulder and we watched the movie in silence as Kurama tighten his grip on my shoulder.
I heard a sigh come from the living room. I sneaked over to the corner of the kitchen to see nothing.
/Stupid couch/
Crawling over closer to the couch, only to be shocked to see Kat and Kurama together cuddling. Hearing Kat sniffle a little I was about to tackle her worried but I was beaten to it.
"Hey Kat you ok?"
"Yea I'm fine. I just hate how the vampire is always made out to be the bad guy. Only power hungry vampires are. Most aren't…then they have to go and do the whole stake them in the heart thing…"
I peaked over the couch to see Kurama giving Kat and understanding look and holding her close and Kat embracing the man beside her. Smiling I took this as my cue to leave. And as quietly as I had come I left.
I sat there in Kurama's embrace.
/He smells likes roses…wait what am I thinking about…damn it. You can't fall for him. Remember your vow to yourself and Sam./
I sat there quietly having a mental fight with myself. I glanced up at Kurama to see a smile playing across his face.
/Why must he be like he is/
I sighed and continued to watch the movie in the silence of the room.
"What the hell….?" Yusuke yelled at the top of his lungs. Surprised and horrified that someone had seen me I pushed Kurama away and turned to Yusuke glaring and hissing. I got up from the couch quickly and raced out of the room, letting my feet guide my path.
"Oh well." Yusuke blundered out and plopped down on the couch beside Kurama. A growl escaped the pissed of Kitsune. "Yusuke!"
"What?"
"I'm so going to kill you." Yusuke's eyes widened ran out the door as fast as he possibly could towards the forest. Kurama bounded off the couch after the detective giving him a 5 second head start.
"OH MY GOD….WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?" Yusuke screamed looking back at Kurama. Not paying attention to where he was going he tripped over a root, and slammed in to the ground.
Kurama slowed his pace from a run to a walk. Kurama watched as Yusuke rolled over rubbing his cheek where he had hit the ground to only have him scream at the sight of a very pissed off Kitsune.
"Oh my god! Please don't hurt me. What did I do?"
"What did you do…Do really have to ask me that?" The angry Kitsune picked the detective up by his shirt collar. When there was a sound behind him and a hand appeared on his shoulder.
"Kurama he isn't worth this energy." Sam sighed out to Kurama.
Yusuke seeing Sam began to praise the heavens and begged for help. But half way through his ramble for help what Sam had said dawned on the poor detective.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" He demanded in a booming voice. Sam sighed putting her hand to massage her temples closing her eyes.
"Why must my only living relative be as dense as a hundred year old tree trunk…?" The ookami stared at Yusuke.
Sighing she opened her mouth to say something but shut it slowly. "Kurama why not go ahead and drop the ignoramus." Kurama releasing a feral growl dropped Yusuke on his ass. Yusuke Jumped up off the ground and got right in Sam's face.
"How dare you call me a waste of energy? What did you mean by that…?"
"Ok…! Yusuke since you're not smart enough to realize what my insult means….I'll explain it. You're a complete waste of energy…" Sam smirked at Yusuke's childish reaction of cussing and storming off. When Yusuke was out of sight Sam let a sigh escape her lips. She turned to the still fuming Kitsune.
I was perched in the tree above the three watching the sight. I smirked as Yusuke stormed off towards the temple. I looked back at Sam and Kurama.
"What is this...?" I questioned myself in a hushed whisper. I was watching attentively. They stood locked in a stale mate. No one neither speaking nor blinking. I watched with interest. Suddenly Kurama's voice broke the silence.
"Why do you protect him? You know he deserved what he has coming." Kurama began approaching Sam.
Sam stood her ground and let him approach her. Saying nothing she just stood there. Finally when Kurama was only mere centimeters away from her she spoke.
"I know he deserved it after the ways he acted, but still I pity him for not having much of a brain. Besides 'Yoko.' Its time to realize he is a waste of energy."
She smirked at Kurama. Kurama patience was wearing thin. Anyone could see this.
"Damn it Sam you have to much love for that buffoon. Yes he might be your cousin, but he deserves everything he 'had' coming!"
Sam shrugged her shoulders and turned away from Kurama. Her shoulder began to shake slightly.
"Kurama…? You know Yusuke's my only living blood relatives. I've seen all my immediate family members die. At the hands of a mad man…." Sam's eyes formed tears as she stopped mid sentence. "I don't want another family member dying. Not again by someone I trust."
Sam let out a strained laugh. "Besides my aunt would have my head."
/What Yusuke and Sam are related/ I yelled in my head.
I turned my attention back to the bickering two.
"Argh you are so unbelievable." Kurama fumed out with his gold eyes. Sam turned on her heels and glared an icy glare at Kurama.
"Well at least I'm not loosing IQ points just thinking about killing him….Go find Kat or something…" Sam growled out.
/NO! Don't say that. Please no…/ I watched the scene unfold Kurama glared at Sam, and turned and headed back to the temple. I waited till Kurama was out of sight. I dropped out of the tree behind Sam.
"You just didn't tell him what I think you told him to do. Did you?"
"Why not? You were enjoying his company. Well until Yusuke ruined it."
I blushed but held my glare on Sam's back. "He was trying to comfort me. I saw a vampire get staked. And you know how I am with that kind of stuff." Sam turned and smirked at me.
"But you can't deny you liked it. I mean you could have pushed him away, before you were upset. When he started holding you for instant."
"If I hadn't pushed him away I wouldn't be here…"
"You're right you'd still be on the couch." I blushed.
/She's right I might still have been on the couch…with Kurama./
"Whatever….Just being around Koenma's lackeys I lose IQ points. Sam we don't need them. The only reason we're here in the first place is because of Koenma."
"Does this mean we're back to square one?" Sam asked herself. She nodded to herself and let's out a sigh.
I glared at my ookami friend. I turned to leave ignoring the smirking girl behind me.
"Hiei what am I going to do with her?" I asked looking up into the darkness of the forest. No reply came.
I waited a little longer for a reply, when two crimson orbs opened and shot there look at me. Soon the body appeared and jumped from the tree landing right beside me. With no more than a low thunk.
I let out an aggravated sigh waiting for a reply. Figuring Hiei wasn't going to do more I headed for a darker part of the forest.
"Onna this isn't a decision you can make for her."
I stopped at the reply. "I know. But it seems when she makes progress she does this again." I sighed again and turned back to Hiei.
Hiei smirked at me and approached me. "Understandable onna. But she can't be completely blamed this time. The detective didn't help matters."
"I know…I know….I am so going to hurt him tomorrow…but first….I have to make it to…bed first…"
I collapsed to the ground. Bracing my body for the impact.
Waiting for the impact to the ground. I never hit the ground. I turned my head slightly to the side to see that Hiei had caught me right before I hit the ground.
I smiled at the demon holding me as he adjusts me to hold me bridal style. I felt the wind of his speed as we zigzag through the forest.
When he came to a sudden stop and his warm embrace left me and I was entangled in blankets. I listened to the soft breathes that escaped him.
I laid there drifting off to sleep wondering what he was going to do next. When I heard a door close quietly. I smiled and turned over in my bed and started to drift off to sleep.
Kat was rummaging around the kitchen quietly mumbling to herself. "If it wasn't for Yusuke would I still be in there with Kurama, or would I have pushed him away like I had?"
Kat sat staring at her bottle of water. She shook her head vigorously. "Stop thinking like that Kat. You know what happened the last time you fell for a man."
Hiei walked into the living room after leaving Sam's room. He found Kurama sitting on the couch watching a movie on TV,.
"Are you okay?" Kurama nodded, but stiffly seeing as he was still pissed,
"Yeah, but I'm really starting to hate Sam." Kurama stated glaring at the TV.
"Hn! Kitsune don't start….just like you got pissed at Yusuke for what he said about Kat….I will get pissed at what you say about Sam….so watch it!" Kat, who had been listening, took a sip on her bottle of water staying out of sight, and continued listening.
Kurama nodded sighing, "I'm sorry."
Hiei shrugged, "You just wanted to get Yusuke back for what he's been doing it's okay I understand…but it's not Sam's fault for his actions. She's just trying to keep the peace here."
Kurama laid his head in his hands, "I actually thought I was getting somewhere with Kat….that was until Yusuke popped in." Hiei nodded understanding what his friend was going through,
"…You have to give things time. Like she did say she was alone for a century…besides Sam, but she was a pup then. We have to think about the years before that too."
"They should mind their own damn business….they don't need to worry about my past, just theirs!" Kat mumbled to herself leaving the kitchen, and going to her room with her bottle of water quietly.
"Yeah, I know you're right." Kurama watched Hiei look to a shadow near the kitchen, but noticed he just shrugged it off as if he imagined something,
"Yeah…..She'll see the truth sooner or later." Kurama nodded, "Yeah, well I'm going to bed."
Hiei nodded to his friend as he looked out the window. As Kurama yawned he got up and walked off to his room.
Next day
I sat up on my bed after laying there for six straight hours staring at the ceiling. "I didn't get any sleep again….what is happening to me!" I mumbled. I got up and walked out of my room and to the living room to see Hiei asleep at the window.
I shrugged the sight of Hiei off, and sat down on the couch turning the TV on to see Jerry Springer. I looked to a clock to confirm it was an 11 am.
I smirked watching as stupid humans fought back and forth over petty issues.
"Good morning." I turned to see Sam coming out of the kitchen with a sandwich in her hands smiling.
I smiled back at her, "Morning….have a good night's sleep?"
She nodded, "Yea." She flopped down by me.
"Good, I'm glad to hear it….at least one of us did…." Seeing as I was looking at Sam, who's seat was near the hallway entrance, I got to see Yusuke coming into the living room, so I turned away back to watch a human girl start fighting with a gay guy.
"Thanks for helping me out last night, Sam." I just sat there and listened to what Yusuke and Sam had to say. "Dude, next time I'm so letting him kill you."
"What a nice cousin I have….She'll let him kill me next time."
That was where it started pissing me off, I turned and looked at Yusuke,
"Shut up Yusuke….If you were my cousin and you deserved it I would've let him kill you the first time around." I stated glaring.
Sam sighed heavily, "Ok, okay enough you two. Yusuke," She paused getting his attention off of me, "Come with me!"
Yusuke got up and started following Sam, but I growled at him.
I caught Sam glaring at me mouthing 'chill', but how could I when he upset me? I shrugged it off, and started watching TV again.
I lead Yusuke to my room to talk to him.
"What?" He asked rudely.
I turned to him after shutting my door behind me, "Dude lay off! You're being such an asshole."
"She's a bitch she deserves it."
I glared at him, "Have you even made an effort to get to know her? I've been with her a long time, and I've known you your whole life….the bitch here, seems to be you."
He glared back with such spite, "You shouldn't have ever been around a vampire in the first place…what were you thinking grouping up with her!"
I was a bit shocked but more pissed then anything, "How dare you speak of her like that! She took me in when my family died, when my own relatives ignored me. She loved me and helped me grow up….So don't you ever, ever degrade her like that with those petty words, or I will hurt you." I said upset glaring daggers at him.
"Oh well…but if you want to say she loved you….why can't she love someone else as well?" Yusuke asked shrugging it off.
"It's different with Kurama," I mumbled.
"How….If she knows how to love why can't she love him as well as you?" Yusuke persisted on the matter.
"Yusuke just don't press it okay." I said opening my door and leaving the room glaring at the floor. I heard him just mumble an 'oh well' and stomp off down the hallway.
At least that was that…till I came back in and sat down to talk with Kat to find out she pretty much heard it all….oops.
Ice: well there you go all chapter 6.
Pixie: well hope everyone enjoyed it.
Ice & Pixie: R&R please.
