Hiei's eyebrow twitched as he walked through the hallway of the house. Everyone he had come across had stared at him as if about to laugh, but stopped when he fingered the razor blade he had gotten his hands on. Hiei walked into the kitchen to find Alicia making breakfast. Hiei sat down and grabbed one of the biscuits that were part of the centerpiece of the table. Alicia turned when she heard the chair move, and she froze.
"What the hell are you looking at?" Hiei bit out. He had had enough of people giving him stupid looks, and he didn't think he could bare any from Alicia. Alicia looked at him; then leaned out the window above the sink.
"Mihiro, you're assistance is…eh…required." Alicia called. Someone called a reply back, but Hiei couldn't make out what it was. There was a loud noise; then Mihiro appeared, collapsed against the doorframe and panting as if he had been running from his mortal fear. Then Youko was standing beside him, a smirk on his face.
That makes sense… Hiei thought as he watched Mihiro slap Youko on the arm.
"You cheated! Using you're demon abilities to win…"
"You're just mad because you have to fulfill you're promise."
"What did you want me to help with Alicia?" Mihiro asked as politely as he could while he beat Youko with the blunt end of his scythe. Alicia sighed and shook her head.
"Can I leave?" Hiei asked, he had the feeling that he was somehow involved. Mihiro turned to look at Hiei with a cheery smile as if to greet him, but froze as the smile slowly faded from his face. Hiei quirked an eyebrow as he saw the utter look of horror on the young kitsune's face.
"Take that as a no and stay seated Hiei." Alicia said as she kicked Youko's lifeless body out of the kitchen.
"Why?" Hiei ventured, a little scared as to why everyone was acting so much weirder then usual. Alicia nodded at Mihiro who began to move his hands over one another, a circle of water appeared in the space between his hands. The water flattened out into an oval shape and then froze over. Mihiro pushed it so that it floated in the air in front of Hiei's face. That's when Hiei finally found out why everyone had been staring.
Hiei's hair had been dyed a horrid mixture of lavender and hot pink, the kind of hair color an old women with either really bad eyesight would get or an old lady who was crazy would get, with black spaces forming words.
Finally, somebody's age has shown its true colors. Let's not forget height either.
The kitchen was very silent for what seemed like an eternity, and then the world ended. Youko had finally awoken, and had done the stupidest thing anyone could have done at that moment. Youko laughed at Hiei. Youko laughed until his voice was hoarse, and still he laughed. Hiei slowly pulled out the razor blade, and stood with the slow gracefulness of a hunter stalking his prey. Mihiro and Alicia acted quickly. Mihiro tackled Youko and dragged him off, saying something about 'Ice cream' and Alicia snatched the razor blade away and threw it into a tunnel of darkness.
"What the hell do you think you're doing onna? I must kill that damn Fox." Hiei growled out as he struggled to get past Alicia. Alicia placed the palm of her hand on Hiei's forehead. Hiei froze and raised wide eyes towards Alicia, which had 'What the hell are you going to do?' written all over them. Alicia pushed Hiei back so that he was an arm's length away from her. Hiei instinctively began swinging his fists at her, but found that he couldn't reach.
Where is my ---damn sword!?!? Hiei thought as he pushed against Alicia's hold. Alicia reached behind her towards the sink, and then brought the spray nozzle around her side. Hiei paused. Alicia raised the nozzle, and proceeded to drench Hiei's hair with the ice cold water. Hiei blinked his eyes, but quickly shut them to keep the water out of them. Alicia made sure to move the nozzle around as much as possible. Hiei struggled, and Alicia kept spraying for about 15 minutes until she finally loosened her hold and let Hiei go, around the same time that Hiei realized he could just step back.
"W-what the hell was that for!?" Hiei sputtered as he shook drops of water from his head. Alicia said nothing as she grabbed Mihiro's mirror and shoved it in front of Hiei's face. Hiei stared at his reflection, realizing that the dye had gotten washed out.
"Go dry off and meet me in front of the steps. We have to go to the Sengoku Judai today." Alicia said as she walked out of the kitchen. Hiei blinked; then walked out to find his room.
