Chapter Four- The Presents

Hiei and Shiei continued to glare at each other while everyone else stayed far away from them. After about a minute of the two glaring at each other someone came out and said, "Ok how about Hiei opens his presents now?"

The random person speaking made Hiei and Shiei blink ending the glaring contest. Kurama then went into the other room; Yusuke and Kuwabara soon followed him. The three then came back carry a bunch of wrapped presents. Hiei stared at the presents with much hatred, especially the one wrapped in pink paper.

The three put the presents down and everyone crowded around to watch. Hiei just sat there and glare at everyone, "Hn!" Everyone sighed at Hiei's stubbornness to not open his presents.

"Oh come on Hiei open the presents."

"Hn!"

"Hiei please open your presents?"

"Hn!"

After a couple of more complaints from the group they finally gave up. All of a sudden one of the presents was thrown at Hiei. Hiei blinked and tried to figure out who threw gift at him. Hiei then spotted whom it was, "What was that for?"

"Hn! Just open the stupid presents, so you can stop their pathetic complaining."

Hiei looked down at the gift that was thrown at him, and then at the pile of gifts, "Hn! Fine whatever." Hiei looked down at the gift in his hand it was wrapped in what looked like a brown paper bag, written on it was, "To: The Shrimp, From: Kuwabara" Hiei smirked and threw the box over his shoulder. When the box landed behind him it broke open and revealed it was an empty box. Everyone stared at Kuwabara,

"You gave him a empty box?"

"What I was short on cash…?"

Hiei smirked and caught the next gift thrown at him. This one wasn't even wrapped, it was a white box with "To: Hiei, From: Yusuke" written on it. Hiei looked at this box and threw this one over at Yusuke. Yusuke ducked, "What was that for?"

Hiei smirked, "Like I would want your stupid gift…"

Yusuke blinked and then remember what he had put in that box and ducked down. As soon as he ducked down a pie went flying over his head and made a "SLAT" sound when it hit Keiko in the face, "Yusuke, you jerk!" Everyone just sweat dropped at this and were grateful Hiei hadn't opened the present.

Hiei then got another gift thrown at him. Hiei looked at this one and growled. He had gotten the present wrapped in pink paper thrown at him. Written on a little card was, "To: Hiei, From: Botan" Hiei stared at the gift; he didn't want to know what was inside.

Botan noticed it was her gift, "Hiei open it! Don't worry there's no joke in there like theirs." Botan pointed to Yusuke and Kuwabara as she said, "theirs."

Hiei growled and threw the box at Shiei. Shiei blinked, "What the heck? Why are you throwing it at me?"

Hiei smirked, "You open it."

Shiei growled, "It's your present! You open it!" Shiei threw the present back at Hiei. Hiei missed it and it landed on the ground behind him. Botan watched as her present was being tossed around like a rag-doll.

Botan got up and picked up the box, "Fine! If you didn't want it you could have just said so, you didn't have to throw it around like that!" Botan sat back down holding the dismantled box in her hands.

Hiei then got another box that was neatly wrapped and had, "To: Hiei, From: Kurama" written on it. Hiei just stared at the box, he knew well enough that Kurama wasn't the type to pull jokes or get something stupid so he opened the box and just blinked. Hiei looked up at Kurama, "A demonic lock pick? And here I was thinking you would be the last person to give me something to help me cause more chaos in this world." An evil looking smile came upon Hiei's face as he stuck the gift in his pocket. Kurama sweat dropped as he knew exactly what that evil smile was from, he didn't even want imagine what Hiei was thinking.

The next box that was thrown at Hiei was wrapped in red, orange, and yellow paper. Written on it was, "To: Hiei, From: Sola" Hiei looked at the box and opened it. He stared into the boxed trying to hide the confused look on his face. Sola looked over at Hiei, noticing the confusion right away. Sola snickered slightly, "If you are confused about your gift read the card inside the box."

Hiei looked inside the box again and pull out a small card that read, "You probably have no idea what your gift is. All you see is a bottle with some liquid in it. Well the liquid, if drank by any fire elemental or part fire elemental it increases that person's fire strength. Use it wisely, Hiei, for you'll never get any more of this." Hiei took the small bottle and stuck that in his pocket and waited for the next present to get thrown at him.

The next box that was thrown at him was wrapped in green paper and had, "To: Hiei, From: Keiko" written on it. Hiei opened the gift and found a green shirt, forest greet be exact. Hiei stared at the shirt and then put it back in the box and tossed it somewhere in the room, "Hn!"

Yukina handed the next gift to him. Hiei looked at the gift strangely, it wasn't wrapped and he could clearly see it was a package of ice cream. Yukina smiled, "It's a container of ice cream, and it will never melt. I made it myself, I hope you like it." Hiei just stared at the container of ice cream in front of him; he then looked at Yukina and nodded slightly.

Yukina smiled, "I'm glad you like it!" Yukina went back to where she had been sitting. Everyone looked at the gifts, they were all either destroyed or opened.

Kurama looked around the room and thought, "Now that's strange…Shiei's gone…" No one noticed that Shiei was gone, except Kurama, and Hiei noticed but called no attention to the fact.

Yusuke then stood up and said, "Well gifts are done can we eat the cake now?"

Everyone rolled his or her eyes, but they all got up and headed to the kitchen. Hiei was about to follow behind everyone when he heard a loud thud outside by the tree. Hiei went outside to see what had made the thud noise. He got over to the tree and found Shiei sitting at the base of the tree with something sitting on the ground next to her. Shiei looked over at Hiei and tried to hide the object behind the tree.

Hiei looked at her strangely, "What is that you are trying to hide?"

Shiei just looked at Hiei, "Nothing of importance…" Shiei stood up and started to head back to the house, "Come on let's get back before they notice we're both gone…" Shiei headed back into the house, but Hiei stood there thinking. Hiei walked over to the tree and found the object Shiei had hidden behind the tree. Hiei picked up the object that was wrapped in a cloth and noticed a note on it, "Hn! I don't even know why I'm even bothering with this, but with all things considered you need it." Hiei looked at the object and unwrapped the cloth, and stared down at a new Katana. Hiei examined it; on the sheath wasa red dragon that wrapped around the sheath. Hiei pulled the sword out and looked at the blade, he then tested it with a few simple slashes. Hiei continued to stare at it; it was perfect in his eyes.

Hiei put the sword back in the sheath and walked back into Kurama's house. Every instantly noticed the katana in Hiei's hand.

"Where did that come from Hiei?"

"Hn!"

Shiei noticed the katana and tried to hide the startled look on her face while thinking, "He found it. Well I didn't exactly hide it so he couldn't. Why did I get that for him anyways? I don't even remember."

Everyone was nagging Hiei to see the new katana, but Hiei wasn't letting anyone touch it or see it for that mater. Hiei put it away under his cloak with his old katana and walked into the kitchen. When he walked past Shiei he gave her a quick glance and if someone looked closely at the glance then that person could have caught a slight smile on Hiei's face.

There's the chapter. I think Hiei liked his presents…well some of them at least. More randomness is to come in the next chapter. Please leave a review so I know what you think of my story so far.
