Chapter 20: Easier to Run

"Fox, I need to talk to you." said Hiei as they reached the kitchen.

"Yea, you've said that already, what is it?"

Hiei's eyes softened as he gazed into Serenity's confused one.

Hiei suddenly felt that he was unable to tell Serenity how he felt. He just couldn't do it. It angered him, nothing had gotten in his way before that he couldn't beat, and he certainly wasnt going to get beat by fear.

"I need to tell you something." he said

Serenity blinked "ok, then just say it"

'Just say it already you stupid hybrid!' yelled Yoko in Hiei's mind.

'shut the hell up Yoko! I can do this perfectly well on my own' and with that he closed the mind link.

"Serenity.." Hiei began.

She knew that this was important, he never called her by her real name unless it was. She strained to hear what he had to say.

"I think that-" he stopped.

"you think what?"

he took a deep breath "I think that I may have fallen in love with you." said Hiei very quiet like.

So many thought and emotions ran through Serenity's head. Joy, happiness, love, hesitation, shock, doubt, and fear.
It wasnt as if she was afraid of Hiei, no she trusted him with her life. What she was most afraid of was that he would be just like Kanji, and also if she got involved with Hiei, he would be a target to Kanji to get to her easier. and another fear was that this was just a big joke, something that Yusuke or Kuwabara had put him up to.

Hiei began to get worried, several minuets had passed and Serenity was still just standing there, her eyes unfocused and distant.

"Fox?"

"no..." she muttered taking several unsteady steps away from Hiei.

"what?" now it was his turn to be confused.

"no you don't...who put you up to this?" she said, tears beginning to cloud her vision.

"what the hell are you talking about? no one did, I love you!" he yelled.

"I will not let this happen to me again, I will not let you be like Kanji." she took a few more steps back

"are you saying that you think that I will be like Kanji? how the hell can you think that?" he snapped, instantly regretting it.

Hiei didn't have time to react, she turned around and ran out the door, and into the rain. Hiei hesitated before running to the door.

"Seri wait!" but it was to late, she was gone.

Serenity ran blindly through the rain, not knowing or caring where she was going.

after a few minuets of just running she found a tree and collapsed under it, her tears mixing with the rain.
she wondered why she ran.

"its easier to run.." she whispered to herself as thunder clashed.

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

The tree did little help to stop the rain, but Serenity was beyond caring. part of her knew deep down that Hiei might really love her, but she held a terrible secret with her that kept her from acting on her feelings with anyone, let alone Hiei. it was something Kanji had told her.
he told her if she ever feel in love with anyone besides him, that he would kill him in front of her. She didn't want that to happen to Hiei, she was keeping him safe by doing this...right?

She had fallen in love once before, to a boy that was guarding her at the place she was held at. he had helped her escape, he told her to not look back, and to keep running.
but while she was running she looked back to see him killed by Kanji's sword.

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played

many of her nightmares had him in them. she hadn't told anyone about this, not even Yoko.

she often went through the situation in her mind, to try and find some way that she could have helped that boy and saved him.

But a few of her recent nightmares had that same memory, but now Hiei took the place instead of the boy. she had awakened in a fit of tears.

And after she would wake up, she would go to the roof and watch the sun come up and after a few minuets, Hiei would join her, and she would talk to him about her childhood, some of the pranks her and Yoko had pulled, her worries, and her fears, and Hiei would always listen.

but on the rare occasion, he would talk a little about his past. mostly he would talk about his journeys with Yusuke and the others, and the battles they faced, and he even told her how he met her brother.

but he only opened up to her after a horrible dream, he seemed to always tell, maybe he saw it in her eyes, or maybe he read her mind.

either way it was nice to have him talk back to her.

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

She wished she could do over so many things in her life, she wished she had never fallen in love with that boy, but part of her was glad she did. If she hadn't she would have never meet Hiei or her brother or all of her new friends.

She sighed and stepped out from the tree's shelter, and began to wonder around.

"hey Kurama, do you think that we should tell Serenity that we let her win that battle some time ago?" asked Yusuke

"I think she has already realized it."

"Do you really think he would kill me Kurama?" asked Yusuke nervously

"what do you think Yusuke, its Hiei." said Shizuru.

"man I am so dead!" said Yusuke leaning back in his chair, the suddenly he snapped back up.

"you know what I noticed? I die to damn much."

this random comment made the tension in the air disappear. and everyone started laughing, even Kurama was chuckling.

"what's so funny! I'm serious! has no one noticed that I die a lot? ok lets backtrack and see how often I've died. ok there was when I saved that kid and was hit by a car, then there was that time with that weird mirror when I met Kurama."

"you didn't necessarily die then" said Botan giggling.

"I was dead for about 2 minuets. then there was that time with Rando and his freaky ass fish that nearly ate me."

"you didn't die then either." said Botan

"well if Kuwabara hadn't popped up I would have. and then there was that time with the 4 saint beasts."

"No Kuwabara gave you his strength which didn't let you die." said Kurama.

"yea yea details, and then there was the recent one with Sensui, and yes Botan, I really died there so you cant say anything."

Everyone laughed. but the laughing was cut short when the door opened and Hiei stepped into the room. Yusuke who had been leaning back in his chair fell over.

'well Hiei, did you tell her?' asked Kurama telepathically

Hiei didn't respond, he just stood there with a distant look in his eyes.

Everyone became worried as several minuets passed and Hiei just stood there, not saying a word.

"Did she reject you or something?" asked Yusuke as he got up from the floor.

"I don't understand.." Hiei muttered

Everyone took this as a sign to leave the room except for Yusuke and Kurama.
Hiei didn't seem to notice them leaving.

"What happened?" asked Yusuke.

"I told her that I may have fallen in love with her, and she backed away from me as if..." he cut off, as he sat down on Yusuke's bed with his face in his hands.

"as if what?"

"as if she was afraid of me.."

"cheer up Hiei! she's not afraid of you!"

"then why did I see fear in her eyes?" he looked up, his eyes full of sorrow.

"am I that fearful?"

Yusuke waved his hand "Naa...as long as you don't turn green, your good."

"Then what?" asked Kurama.

"she asked me who put me up to this.."

"like she thought someone made you do this, like a joke?" asked Yusuke, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

"seems that way."

"man that sucks."

"then she said that she didn't want me to turn out like Kanji."

"what! how can she even think that?"

"that's what I said."

'so she thinks that you will turn out like Kanji. kinda funny, if you did I would kick your ass.' said Yoko entering the conversation.

"but I wouldn't hurt her."

'you don't have to tell me, I know this already. just think about this, just a few months ago she was with that ass Kanji, who did all kinds of shit to her. she's just healing, both mentally and physically. I know that you can see the scars on her arms.'

Hiei nodded.

"maybe she's just not ready for you, Hiei" finished Kurama.

"where did she go?" asked Yusuke.

"I'm not sure, she ran outside and I lost her."

"you just let her go! what the hell's wrong with you?" yelled Yusuke.

Hiei just sat there, his eyes again going unfocused and distant. Yusuke instantly felt horrible. he would have stood there to if Keiko had ran away from him after he told her he loved her.

"look I'm sorry man-"

"forget it Yusuke, we need to find her." said Kurama.

Hiei faintly noticed one of them grabbing his arm and pulling him outside with them as they began their search, it was still raining.

his mind began to wonder. He thought about why would Serenity want to be with someone like him? he wasnt anything special, she would be better off with someone else then Hiei. just look at his past, nothing good could come from it. He killed, he stole, he robbed. everything she was against was found in him. he knew that she hated killing, he knew that she thought it was wrong to steal, she told him so. Even though she though that she was talking about Yoko when she was talking about him.

he didn't even blame her from running from him.

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

sometimes he wondered why Kurama and everyone put up with him, how did they know that he wouldn't kill them in their sleep? but they trusted him, they always trusted him, no one else had ever trusted him before. growing up he was shunned from everyone, everyone didn't want anything to do with him, cause he was a half breed.

he wished that he could forget his childhood, it brought so many bad memories for him. the only memories he wanted to keep were the ones with his... family.

he thought of everyone as a part of his family. His only family that he had every known was Yukina. but now he had Kurama, Yusuke, and even Kuwabara and everyone else. they accepted him even though he had a horrible past. they didn't hate him. he would protect them with everything he had, maybe even Kuwabara.

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past

Then Hiei's mind came to rest on Serenity. they were still looking for her, Kurama was trying to pick up her sent but the rain was washing it away. Suddenly horror filled him. What if she was hurt? what if she was never coming back? Hiei shook his head, he shouldn't think such things. He began to run towards were he felt that she would go.

He didn't know what he would do if she was hurt, if she was taken away from him. He just had a ray of hope of a regular life, maybe even a possible family. He didn't want it taken away from him. He could hear Yusuke cursing as he and Kurama followed him.

Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change

Serenity looked up, some how she had ended up at the Demon's den, the song that had just played was ending. she didn't recognize the song playing. she sat at the bar.

"why hello there young lady. Tonight's special is all lady's drink free."

"Thats wonderful, give me your strongest vodka"

The bartender was taken back, he studied her figure, he doubted that she could take more than a shot of his strongest.

He placed in front of her a tiny shot glass half filled with see through liquid.

"that's it?"

he said nothing.

suddenly she threw her head back and downed the whole shot glass. she slammed it down on the counter as she instantly felt it take effect.

"another"

"theres no more of that left. but here have a beer."

he placed a beer bottle in front of her. she chugged half the bottle.

"ruff night?"

"you can say that."

she turned silent to listen to what song was playing.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

she felt Hiei's mind brush against her, trying to communicate with her. she just closed her mind to him.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

she felt tears well up in her eyes. she stood up, clutching her beer bottle and threw it across the room at the DJ, missing him by inches.

"turn that damn song off!" she yelled before falling back on the bar stool, and asking for a another.

The DJ quickly turned off 'Listen to your heart' by DHT and played Beautiful disaster by Kelly Clarkson.

He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
It just ain't right

this time a few tears made there way silently down her face. oh Hiei...it was about Hiei..

Oh when I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

she finished that beer, and asked for another. she held back a sob.

He's magical myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold me tight
Hold me tight

all her thoughts were about Hiei. and what she could have had if she had told him her true feelings. she had not once seen him truly happy. she longed to see him smile truly.

I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so long
So long
He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take

at this point Serenity couldn't take anymore of this song and she threw another beer bottle at the DJ followed by a string of colorful words. the DJ instantly turned off that song.

tears were flowing freely down Serenity's cheeks. but she didn't care. it almost seemed as if the more drunk she became, the worse she felt.

The bartender came up to her.

"um miss.."

Serenity tried to focus on his face, it was moving. she wanted to tell him that she should stand still.

"don't you think that you've had enough.."

the next thing the bartender knew was that Serenity was behind the bar holding him by his neck, his feet dangling a few inches off the ground.

"no I will tell you when I've had enough! down bring me some damn Vodka!" the dropped the man and hoped back over the counter.

the bartender ran to the back and fetched there strongest Vodka and gave her the whole bottle before running off.

I'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
cause your presence still lingers here
and it wont leave me alone

She heard a chuckle from beside her, she didn't even notice someone taking the seat next to her.

"my my, aren't we a tad bit drunk" the stranger spoke.

She turned in her seat to give him a piece of her mind about talking to her while she was drinking, but words failed her. after several minuets she managed to choke out one word.

"Ka...Kanji."

When Serenity had closed the mind link between herself and Hiei, Hiei stopped running so suddenly that Yusuke ran into Hiei, knocking Yusuke down.

"why the hell are we stopping?"

"she closed the mind link." Hiei spoke softly.

Kurama nodded "Yes, I also was trying to contact her. But I did manage to locate her."

"were is she?" asked Yusuke.

"Demon's Den, and I must say, she has had quite a lot to drink."

"hey Sweetie, happy to see me?" asked Kanji as he placed his hand on top of hers.

she withdrew hand as soon as his made contact. Her face shining with hate.

"ah, so that means you didn't miss me?"

"go Fuck yourself"

"now now sweet. That was very un-lady like to say. I think you have had quite enough now." He attempted to get the bottle away from Serenity but it didn't work. Finally he let go.

these wounds wont seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just to much that time cannot erase

She drank some more, now the bottle was pretty much empty

"Well I see that your brother has returned."

She choked.

"oh yes, I know all about that, and I must say, It doesnt please me that you got away from me, let alone ending up with your brother and some.. Bastard half breed."

He barely managed to duck when Serenity threw her vodka at him with everything she had.

"don't you dare call him that you son of a bitch!"

Kurama started laughing as the ran. he began laughing so much he had to stop.

"what the hell is so funny"

"Serenity.. is cussing someone out... at the bar. she's throwing vodka at someone for insulting you Hiei."

Hiei just looked up in surprise.

"lets hurry to the bar!" said Yusuke with a grin on his face as he began to run again.

"why?"

"I gotta see this!"

you use to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all of the sanity in me

"oh? have I touched a soft spot? I know that he loves you, and You love him."

Serenity's eyes widened

"I have been following you for some time, I was about to grab you when the spirit detective showed up. I was tempted to go up against him-"

"He would have kicked your ass in a second. I fought him and won."

"yes but it was clear that he was going easy on you, I was watching the battle. Just like I watched you two on the roof, If I hadn't stepped in, you would have kissed him. and that is unacceptable. Did you forget what I did to that poor guard who loved you?"

Serenity shot him the most deadliest glare she could muster, the bartender had given her another bottle, this time it was Whiskey. she paused in mid drink and said

"go to hell"

"I've been there already."

"wouldn't doubt it"

and with that Kanji stepped closer to her and lifted her head up and kissed her. Serenity being drunk off her ass thought it was Hiei she was kissing.

"No the HELL he didn't!" screamed Yoko through Kurama, picking up his pace.

"what?"

"Kanji back."

"WHAT!"

"and he's kissing Serenity."

Hiei gave a sudden burst of speed, the demon's den was in site.

"Serenity?"

Serenity broke the kiss by turning around violently to find the person who was talking to her.

"Serenity its me Kaze."

"oh hey!" she got off the bar stool, nearly falling over and walked towards Kaze.

Kaze's gaze hadn't left the man sitting next to her. There was something about this man, he seemed wrong. Kaze knew that Hiei liked Serenity, and was almost positive that she liked Hiei, so who the hell was this guy?

I've tired so hard to tell myself that your gone
and though your still with me
I've been alone all along.

"Kanji...you should go screw yourself.. so leave." slurred Serenity from her spot leaning on Kaze, if she didn't she would have fallen over.

"only if you are there watching."

She flipped him off

"maybe later."

and without warning, he disappeared.

"about time he left...gosh." then Serenity started to giggle like a little girl.

"...Ok Serenity I think you have had enough."

"Naa, I can go for a bit more. now I want you to listen very carefully. I most likely will not remember everything that happened tonight, so I want you to tell Kurama that Kanji is back. and do not tell me about that kiss, I would very like much not to remember that, even though I thought that was Hiei, but that's not the important part."

Some part of her speech was messed up do to how drunk she was, but Kaze got the general message.

Serenity stumbled back to the bar stool, not before falling over herself. she would have hit the floor if Kurama had not caught her.

"Kurama!" she yelled threw her hand in the air "nice of you to stop by!"

Kurama could smell the alcohol on her breath. He took the bottle that she had in her hands away, it didn't help though, it was empty.

"Bartender."

"yes" he squeaked, he didn't want the young lady to beat him again.

"what all has she had?" asked Kurama sitting her on a the bar stool.

"um.. a shot of our strongest Vodka, a couple beers, then two bottles of our strongest Vodka and that bottle of Whiskey."

"Holy shit! how is she still moving?" yelled Yusuke.

"I move... like this." Serenity staggered to her feet and walked over to Yusuke, and then fell on him.

"man your so drunk!"

"nu huh, your drunk"

Hiei just stood back and watched, relief filled him that Serenity was alright. wait...hadn't Kurama said that Kanji was here?

"where's Kanji?" he asked.

"oh that bastard? he flew away.." said Serenity before giggling madly.

Yusuke had the most interesting expression on his face, then he started laughing.

"man, that must have been some good stuff huh, Seri?"

She nodded violently. "hell yes it was. here"

she stumbled over to the bar "my lovely bartender! would you be so lovely as to get me some of that vodka again, it would be loved if i had more."

the bartender blinked but gave her another bottle.

she drank some before walking back to Yusuke, when she reached him she started hiccupping

"here ya go, try it, its lovely!"

Yusuke looked at the bottle for a minuet before throwing back his head and drinking about half the bottle. instantly the vodka took effect on him.

"that's by boy!" said Serenity falling over laughing.

Kurama and Hiei were busy talking to Kaze about what he had witnessed to drag the vodka away from Yusuke. cause after they were done with there talk, he was about as drunk as Serenity.

"hey Serenity do you think that we should leave now?" asked Kurama.

she shook her head, "i don't wanna"

"come on, its late and we need to leave."

Kurama, Kaze, and Hiei made their way over to were Yusuke and Serenity were sitting...on the floor.

But just then, Serenity heard the opening verse of a song she knew, as well as Yusuke. within seconds they were on there feet, practically running to the dance floor, where no one was at.

"I love this song!" shouted both Yusuke and Serenity.

(A/N ok, this is a warning, the following songs that are going to play are extremely dirty. well only the following two, the first is "Candyshop" then after that will play "Get low" and heaven knows that's a bad song, especially since he is a major potty mouth. well as i said its a warning. if you want just skip over the song parts, cause the lyrics are bad...ok back to the.. dirty dancing..)

Yeah...
Uh huh
So seductive
I'll take you to the candy shop
I'll let you lick the lollypop
Go 'head girl, don't you stop
Keep going 'til you hit the spot
I'll take you to the candy shop
Boy one taste of what I got
I'll have you spending all you got
Keep going 'til you hit the spot

The three men on the side lines looked shocked. part of it was the lyrics, how in the heck could Serenity and Yusuke love this song!
secondly it was the dancing that was taking place on the dance floor. it started out with just Yusuke and Serenity, but some crowds were gathering around them. you see being as drunk as they were, they had lost all modesty.

it was also shocking that Yusuke could dance this well, he was dancing next to Serenity, every now and then they would dance together, which wasnt good.

Both of them were doing some of the dirtiest things. I'll let your imagination think up what they are doing.

Have your friends teasin you 'bout how sprung I gotcha
Wanna show me how you work it baby, no problem
Get on top then get to bouncing round like a low rider
I'm a seasons vet when it come to this shit
After you work up a sweat you can play with the stick
I'm tryin to explain baby the best way I can
I melt in your mouth girl, not in your hands (ha ha)

now several people were dancing with Serenity and Yusuke.

"ok, me and Hiei will get Serenity. you get Yusuke." said Kurama to Kaze.

then they began to push there way onto the dance floor.

Give it to me baby, nice and slow
Climb on top, ride like you in the rodeo
You ain't never heard a sound like this before
Cause I ain't never put it down like this
Soon as I come through the door she get to pullin on my zipper
It's like it's a race who can get undressed quicker
Isn't it ironic how erotic it is to watch em in thongs
Had me thinking 'bout that ass after I'm gone
I touch the right spot at the right time
Lights on or lights off, she like it from behind
So seductive, you should see the way she wind
Her hips in slow-mo on the floor when we grind
As Long as she ain't stoppin, homie I aint stoppin
Drippin wet with sweat man its on and popping

by the time that Kurama and Hiei reached Serenity, (Kaze was just reaching Yusuke) the song ended, and a even worse song began to play, and they were pushed back and Yusuke and Serenity, got more into the songs then they already were with their dancing, even though Kurama doubted that it could get much dirtier, but he didn't want to find out. Yoko was yelling at him and Hiei to get his sister out of there or he would. and they didn't need that.

3,6,9 damn your fine move it so you can sock it to me one mo time
Get low, Get low 6x
To the window (TO THE WINDOW), to the wall, (TO THE WALL)
To the sweat drop down my balls
To all these bitches crawl
To all skit skit motherfucker all skit skit got damn
To all skit skit skit skit skit, to all go skit skit skit

Kurama felt his eyes widen at the strange lyrics. Yoko was currently yelling inside Kurama's head, apparently skit skit was very inappropriate, when Hiei mentally asked Yoko what it meant, he could almost feel Yoko blush. his only response was "when your older dear." in a mock sweet voice, but then decided that Kurama and Hiei should know what it means, after he got done telling them the look on their faces were priceless.

Shortie crunk so fresh so clean can she fuck that
Question been harassing me in the mind this bitch is fine
I done came to the club about 50th 11 times now
can I play with yo panty line
club owner said I need to calm down security guard go to sweating

again Kurama and Hiei began to fight there way threw the crowd again, and what they saw shocked them.

there were several men gathered around Serenity, all to close for comfort and dancing with her, Yoko noticed that one of them was drunk also and was touching Serenity in wrong places.

She getting crunk in the club I mine she work
Then I like to see the female twerking taking the clothes off ohh she naked
Hoe don't disrespect it

At this point in the song, both Yusuke and Serenity started to remove clothing. Yusuke ripped off his shirt in one swift motion, Serenity however was having problems getting hers off, and then guys there started helping. Kurama lost it.

Kurama ran through the crowd and grabbed Serenity and the boy that had almost removed her shirt, who was also the one that was touching her and dragged them both out side. Kaze followed with Yusuke, who wanted to know were they were going.

the guy Yoko had grabbed was putting up a fight, but it was nothing Yoko couldn't handle.

"Kaze, Hiei, take them home, I will deal with this filthy mortal." Kurama's eyes flashed as he smiled down at the boy evilly.

The boy was also drunk, so he didn't realize the danger he was in. but he got a clue when Yoko took over fully, the fox lord loomed over the shivering human.

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster

the boy opened his mouth to speak but words never formed.

"oh in case you were going to relay on the cameras that are over here, your out of luck, if anyone looks at this footage, they will you being killed by a eight tailed fox." at this Yoko grinned evilly.

the boy began to scream.

"keep screaming, no one will come.."

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To ever tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder

Kaze and Hiei had there work cut out for them dragging Yusuke and Serenity home, they insisted on walking, so they were walking side by side leaning on each other, singing off tone of a song called "Getting away with Murder" every know and then one would fall over and the other would fall on top of them laughing, and of course Kaze had to help them up, seeing that Hiei was jumping from tree to tree, only watching.

Finally they reached the house.

and as soon as they entered everyone gathered around them asking them if they were ok. but Keiko noticed something funny.

"um...Yusuke?"

Yusuke attempted to focus on her face, but ended looking completely behind her.

"are you drunk?"

a lopsided grin made its way onto his face "maybe...not as much as foxy girl though."

Serenity started laughing as if that was the funniest thing ever, which caused her to fall over.

Yusuke walked over to Keiko and tripped and ended up falling on her, but somehow she could support both his and her weight "you wanna know a secret?"

Keiko started to blush.

"I gotta tell ya something, so listen very closely."

Keiko managed to get out a slight nod.

Yusuke started to laugh uncontrollably for a moment then he leaned over and practically yelled in her ear

"I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!"

Then he feel over laughing, Keiko just stood there. then she whispered

"are you telling me the truth Yusuke, your not just joking with me?"

he gave her a smile that made her knees almost give out "nope"

"then why haven't you told me before?"

"while I'm sober? no" then he started to laugh uncontrollably, Serenity was having problems breathing from all the laughing she was doing.

Shizuru stared chuckling, "how drunk did she get?"

Kaze was trying to get Yusuke off the floor, but he looked up and answered her "I'm not sure, when I found her, she was pretty hammered, she was unbelievably drunk, I was shocked that she was still conscious. and more shocked when I found out how much she really had, she had a few whole bottles of pure Vodka. and then she gave a few to Yusuke."

"Good heavens!" said Botan looking at Serenity who was now fascinated with Hiei's cape, trying to see if he was wearing a dress.

"are you wearing a dress?"

"no"

"are you sure? I looks like one I have"

"its not a dress"

"are you sure?"

It was safe to say she was out of it.

And it was also safe to say that Hiei was losing his patients with the women he loved.

"hey Hiei."

he looked down at her, she was sitting of the floor with one hand gripping his cape, looking up at him. he kneeled down so he was eye level with Serenity.

"yes."

"do you really love me?"

Hiei's eyes widened with shock, he wasnt expecting her to ask this.

Everyone was watching this, it was more interesting than watching Yusuke just laughing on the floor.

"yes I do."

Serenity moved closer to him, " have you heard the legend about first kisses?"

This comment was a little random, so it took Hiei a moment to reply.

"no"

"they say that the person you have your first kiss with, that you are bound to them, body heart and soul. but if you steal a persons first kiss, then you are bound to them body, heart and soul."

"why are you telling me this?"

"because.." Serenity leaned forward to whisper in Hiei's ear "I want to steal yours, so we can both be bound together."

Hiei couldn't help himself, a look of shock came onto his face. Now Serenity was practically sitting on Hiei's lap, and this is the site that Yoko saw when he first walked in, but basically all the girls ran up to him and stopped him from saying anything that would ruin the moment.

Serenity pulled away from his ear and placed her forehead on his, "you don't mind do you?"

Before he could reply, she kissed him. it took a moment for Hiei to respond, all he had to do was ignore the taste of alcohol on her breath.

The kiss only lasted for a few moments, but it would have lasted longer if Serenity had not passed out drunk.
