BEGIN
Aaron woke up refreshed and giddy. Hiei was gone; no big surprise there. Still, she smiled, grabbed a dress out of the bag she'd set near the bathroom, and then went into the bathroom.
She slipped off her pajamas. After changing her undergarments, she slipped the dress on.
It was a simple design. It went to her knees and was a dark green color. The waist was secured by an obi the color of wood. The sleeves were loose and reached her elbow.
After slipping on a pair of flats, Aaron went down stairs. She was immediately greeted by Kurama's mother, who smiled happily at her and took her arm, leading her to the table. Already, Kurama and his brother sat there. She assumed his father had already left.
"Hello, Ku-Suichi, and Su-chan!" She said, giggling when Kurama's little brother huffed and whined about his new nickname.
"Mother, I don't believe I formally introduced you both last night," Kurama started, "This is my mother, Aaron. Mother, this is Aaron. Suuichi, this is Aaron. Aaron, this is Suuichi."
Aaron smiled and said in shaky Japanese, "Hello, it is nice to meet you."
Kurama's mother smiled and said, "It's very courteous of you to speak in our language, but we can speak English for you, dear."
Aaron gave out a sigh of relief. "Thank you. Is there anything I can help you with, ma'am?"
"No no! Please relax and get to know each other. Breakfast will be ready soon."
Aaron turned her attention to Kurama. "So what are our plans for today?"
"We need to meet up with Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei sometime. Koenma might want to see you as well."
"I'll need to find an apartment for cheap. I can't stay here. I would feel like a burden."
"You aren't a burden, Aaron," Kurama said.
"I know that," she said, "but I feel like one. And I really do appreciate your hospitality. But you know how it is."
Aaron fingered her long red velvet hair, sighing. She thanked Kurama's mother when she placed a bowl of rice in front of her.
As they ate, Aaron thought back to her home. She wondered how Garret was. She'd just left. What was he thinking? Though Kurama had told her that they'd left a note on her behalf. Meh, she thought, he's fine.
"Thank you for the meal," they said in sync.
After helping clean up, Aaron and Kurama went on a walk. "Hey Kurama…"
"Yes?" He said with a soft smile.
She hesitated. "Does Hiei hate me?"
He gave her a surprised look. "I wouldn't say he hates you. He's got his reasons for being stern with you."
She nodded. "I see."
He smiled lightly. "Would you like some ice-cream?"
She brightened instantly and he chuckled. "Really?"
"Really."
She grinned. "Thank you! Thank you!"
He patted her head and they walked around the small town until they found an ice-cream shop.
Forty minutes later, Aaron was sitting at a table cannibalistically munching on a chocolate cone.
Kurama's red brows rose as he drank from his soda.
"Agh…This is so good." She licked her lips. "Thanks a bunch Kurama."
He nodded. "I'm guessing you didn't get sweets often at your boarding school?"
She shook her head. "Nope."
A few minutes later Kurama said, "We should go meet the guys in the park."
She sighed a bit and nodded. "I suppose we should."
-x-x-x-x-x-
"KUWABAAARAAA!" Aaron squealed as Yusuke's loud voice met her ears. Seriously, she could here them fighting from the outside of the large park.
Kurama chuckled; obviously this was normal. So Aaron shrugged and kept walking.
The two walked into a rather nice place in the park; it was a large expanse of green land, dotted with trees. Aaron smiled to herself. She loved the outdoors, even though she was nearly allergic to everything out there.
Her heart nearly leapt out of her throat when she heard behind her, "You brought the Ona?"
Kurama turned to face Hiei, who'd just landed behind them from the safety of a large oak.
"Was I not supposed to?" The red head asked with amusement lacing through his voice.
Hiei shrugged slightly. "Hello Hiei," Aaron greeted sheepishly.
He raised a brow, crossing his arm. He nodded to her in greeting.
She sighed and went to sit down on a bench across the field. She sat down, leaning back to look at her hands.
"Aaron! Watch out!" She squeaked and looked up just as a rearing football came towards her.
It hit her straight in the forehead. She blinked.
"…Ow…" She whined, standing, grabbing the football off the ground. "That…Didn't feel good, Yusuke."
"De-De-It was all Kuwabara! He threw it!" He protested, backing up.
"Hm." She smiled. "Well…It's mine now!"
The boys' jaws dropped. "Aaron! That's not cool!" Kuwabara yelled obnoxiously.
She only grinned. "Neither was hitting me in the head."
They pouted, and Aaron giggled. Two teenage boys pouting. Nothing could be funnier.
"Alright, alright. But only if you can catch me~" She sang, kicking off her heels. She screamed; they were already barreling at her.
She tucked the football under her arm, saying: "TIME OUT!"
Thing 1 and 2 stopped abruptly, toppling over. Aaron pulled her hair out of the pony tail she'd put in into, swishing said hair out. She kneeled down, tying the ends of her dress together, tight so she wouldn't flash anyone.
"Okay…Go!" She screeched again and started running, football secured in the crook of her elbow.
Kurama smirked slightly at the sight of the tuckered out 3. He turned to Hiei. "Well we can tell she'll be entertaining. Hiei only grunted.
The red head sighed. "You really are something, Hiei."
Hiei wasn't paying attention. His eyes wandered over to Aaron. He knew he felt a connection to her, but was she really Megumi's descendant? She was a careless girl. She was silly, and frail. Megumi was none of these.
But…At the same time, she was exactly like Megumi.
Hiei sighed inwardly. Thinking, for once, was getting him no where.
