Chapter 22: School and stuff

1:49 AM. August 4th, 2006 Before y'all read this chapter I must confess something. My flash drive was utterly destroy which had the original chapter 22 on it, so I had to re-type this one. It's not as great as the original but I did the best I could. I'm sick because I also lost my huge Naruto fan fiction and my wonderfully written and newly begun Kingdom Hearts fan fiction. They were both wonderful but now they're dead. My laptop dropped off of the side of the bed, with the flash drive plugged into it, and the flash drive broke in half. I'm utterly sick. I also lost MY copy of my cousin's book and all of her pictures. It was a borrowed flash drive so now I must buy her a new one and express my deepest apologizes. I truly am sick right now, but I shall write this chapter. Tonight will be a long night. The only problem is… I can't quite recall how it started. Damn it. Damn it all. I'm so stressed right now.

Erica- I really wanted to use your idea of that game you guys played in Marching Band. I'll have to find someway to put it in another chapter if I can, or in this one if possible. I had it all typed out and everything! It was hilarious. But the disaster- the death of my flash drive- has hindered my ability to bounce back and re-type it all.

The school week had resumed and Kura was feeling utterly derelict. As she was sitting through her history class trying to pay attention to the lecture on Eastern Civilization during the 1800's, she found herself staring down at her paper; it was blank. She was supposed to be taking notes. She looked to her left to see Briar being prolific and taking notes; she already had three pages- front and back- full of notes. She could hear her brother's pencil moving across his paper as he sat behind her. Am I the only one who's unable to pay attention? She sighed quietly. She looked down at her blank paper once more and then picked up her pencil. She rested her chin in her hand as her pencil slowly moved across the paper. Now it read- Hiei, with a heart around his name. She put her pencil back down and sighed. I can't even concentrate anymore. Maybe Hiei-chan is right. Maybe I should quite school so he and I can get on with our lives together. Kura looked to the board where the teacher was standing and continuing on with his lecture. Kura sighed again.

A few classrooms down the hall, Sakura and Yusuke were causing more trouble within their own classroom. The teacher had fallen asleep as she normally did; she was out cold. She wasn't the only one. Kuwabara had fallen asleep also. Sakura had pondered torturing him since it would be a rather pointless to do anything since he was asleep so she just settled for hitting Yusuke with V-darts, using a rubber band as a slingshot. Of course, Kayko protested their behavior, but she didn't try to stop them. She had found this an ideal time to do her homework. When herself and Yusuke had come to an agreement not to shoot things at each other for the rest of the day, Sakura sat at her desk, wondering what Kura was doing. I bet she's not having fun.. as always! Her class is such a bore! No matter what! I can't see how she lives!

Sakura met Briar and Kurama outside for lunch as the group normally did. She had been waiting for ten minutes until she finally asked Kurama and Briar were Kura was. They informed her that she had decided to hang in the classroom and do her homework. Sakura was starting to worry. What if she's not feeling well? Oh no! Sakura sat down on the grass and leaned her back against the tree. She sighed. "She's feeling okay, right, Kurama?" She depended on her brother-in-law to tell her the truth.

Kurama shrugged. "One can't say." He replied with utter truth seeping through his voice- as usual. He had noticed that his sister didn't look like herself. He had sensed that her energy wasn't as bubble-y nor full of life as it normally was. He squeezed Briar's hand and smiled. "What do you say?"

Briar shrugged also. "Maybe she just needs a break!"

"But school hasn't been in session for that long! She can't be exhausted already!" Sakura argued. "Kura can go months without taking a break from school! Remember?"

Briar and Kurama laughed together but they agreed; they recognized Kura to be rather persistent when it came down to school. Just as they were each getting ready to comment further on the subject, Kura came walking out of the school with her schoolbag. Kurama, Briar, and Sakura exchanged glances. Kurama let go of Briar's hand and then walked towards her. "Kura…?" He called.

She looked up at him with her tired eyes. She tried to bring a smile to her face but it was a failure. She came to a halt and waited for her brother. "Yes, Kurama?"

Kurama scanned her over; she didn't look too well. "Are you feeling alright?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm not. I'm going home." She replied. She'd already checked herself out and was just now heading toward the apartment.

Kurama sighed. "It's nothing serious. Is it?" He received a reassuring no from her and then he continued on. "You're rundown…" he whispered. "you should go home and go to sleep." He advised her. Sleep would do her good.

Kura laughed hesitantly. She nodded. "I will but only after I talk to Hiei.- Tell Sakura that I'll talk to her later, also." She didn't want to leave with out at least asking Kurama to explain her disappearance to her best friend. Kura hugged her brother and then ventured out of the schoolyard.

Kurama returned to his wife and his sister-in-law. Sakura stood up; she was interested in knowing where her best friend was going. Kurama informed her. "She's going home to rest. She… has a headache." He made her ailment up, but he wasn't exactly lying to them.

"I hope she'll be alright by the time we get home later." Briar said.

Sakura sighed. "Yeah. I do too!"

Kura was able to journey toward the apartment peacefully. She was beginning to grow even more tired than before, but she didn't let that hinder her journey home. When she finally arrived at the apartment, she opened the door and walked in. She dropped her bag in the chair as she headed toward her bedroom. She wasn't sure if Hiei was there or not; either way, she wanted to get out of her school clothes and into something more suitable for sleeping. She passed Kurama's room which was still. She then walked into her room. She didn't find Hiei anywhere. She shrugged. Whatever. I'll just go to sleep. She took off her blazer and draped it over the back of the chair at her desk. Next, she removed her knee-high socks and threw them on the floor. She walked to her dresser, took out an over-sized t-shirt. She smiled softly. This shall be comfy. She removed her shirt and then her skirt to only slip the over-sized piece of clothing over her head and comfortably onto her body. The shirt was about 3 times her size. Next, she found a hair-tie and put her hair into a quick bun. She climbed into the bed after shutting the room-darkening shades. She laid on her side, staring at the dark wall near her as she laid under the covers. Her eyes were growing heavier with each passing moment.

Hiei thought he heard someone in the apartment from the roof. He slowly climbed back down to the balcony and then snuck into the house quietly. He glanced around the kitchen and living room but there was no one. He walked into the living room and looked in the chair; he found Kura's school bag. "Oh. It's just her." He turned his head to look down the hallway. "I wonder if she's okay. She never misses class unless it's to go on vacation…" His curiosity was tearing away at him. He walked down the hallway and looked into Kura's room. He couldn't see anything due to the shades being down and the light being off. "Kura?" He called quietly as he slowly stepped into the room.

Kura was relieved that her husband was there. She closed her eyes and quietly said to him, "Isn't the silence nice?"

Hiei could tell that she wasn't feeling like herself today. He removed his boots and shirt just before he slipped under the covers with her. "Yes. It's lovely." He whispered in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest as he laid on his side also. He kissed her temple and then rested his head lightly behind hers. "Are you feeling up to par?" He asked her in yet another hushed whisper.

"No. I'm not." She sighed and whispered back to him. She rested her hands on his arms. "I don't know if I want to keep going to school…"

"Then don't." He was quick to reply. He wouldn't have a problem with Kura being home all of the time. They'd be one step closer to really beginning their lives together. He waited for her to say something further but she never did. He kissed her shoulder and then continue to lie with her.

Lunch was over and now everyone returned to the second part of their day- more classes. Sakura's teacher was awake once more and was attempting to teach them. Sakura knew how that endeavor would end: the teacher would be sleeping, and she'd be out until an hour after the bell at the end of the school day. But at the moment, Sakura was sitting through a boring lecture about British literature. Damn English Class. She was doodling on a piece of notebook paper instead of taking notes. Who needs notes! She grinned to herself and continued doodling.

After three more hours of sitting through class, Sakura was happy to hear the bell. She jumped out of her seat, grabbed her bag, and happily rushed out of the door to meet her sister and Kurama at the gates. Her smile was almost as bright as the sun. "It's Friday! And now school's out! Yaaaay!" She sang to herself.

Briar and Kurama could see Sakura who was eagerly waiting to leave the school grounds. With their hands locked together, the couple walked toward the waiting eager one. Briar giggled. "Sakura. Just calm down!" She commented when she saw her sister jumping up and down. "You do this every Friday after school."

"True but that's because I'm excited!" Sakura grinned as the three of them began journeying toward the apartment. "Thank God! We're finally getting away from that school!"

"It's not as bad as you make it out to bed, Sakura." Kurama pointed out.

"You and Briar are the only ones who say that. Kayko doesn't count." Sakura narrowed her eyes but then giggled. She remained happy as they crossed the cross walk.

"Kura would tell you the same thing." Briar brought up.

"I doubt she thinks that way anymore!" Sakura pointed out in an up-beat tone. She knew her sister had no idea what she was talking so she felt the need to explain. "Lately it seems Kura has been having second thoughts about going to school, at least that's what I have gathered."

Kurama and Brair exchanged half confused, half curious looks. They shrugged and continued to walk in silence, save Sakura's happy humming.

Hiei hadn't been able to fall asleep. He laid awake with Kura in his arms; he'd been thinking to himself. He was trying to figure out what was wrong with Kura today; she wasn't her usual, happy self. This morning, he noticed that her smile wasn't as bright and her eyes were filled with a somber emotion; she had nearly left the house with out even greeting him. He pulled her closer to his chest. He tried not to wake her. He stared at the wall, though he couldn't exactly see it due to the darkened room.

Kura felt Hiei pull her toward his chest lightly. She opened her eyes ever so slightly and saw the darkness of her room. She knew the wall to be only a few inches away from her. She yawned silently and the closed her eyes again. She didn't want to get out of bed. She knew her brother would be home soon and he wouldn't like her sleeping in the middle of the day. Who the hell cares about what he thinks right now. I need sleep. Besides, tomorrow is Saturday and there's NO school.

Hiei had been listening in to her thoughts like he did often, and she wasn't happy. Even her thoughts sounded depressed. What's wrong? He asked her through thoughts.

She swallowed a breath and then began to turn over to lay on her other side; she faced him. Even though the shades were down she still looked to his face.

Quickly Hiei turned over, turned on the lamp on the bedside table, and then turned back to her. He gazed into her green eyes. Seriously… what's wrong?

Kura sighed. I don't know why but I just want to get out of the Human World. She brushed her hand across his cheek and then rested it on the side of his neck.

Then let's leave… He had no problem with leaving with Human World; he really didn't. He stroked her arm lightly. If you're worried about school… then don't. It's not important to us. We're demons, not Humans.

I know but I thought I should finish it to show everyone that I can finish something that I started. She felt as though she'd be a huge failure if she quit now.

Who cares? I don't. I don't care if you finish anything… Then only thing I care about is you. I love you and, frankly, I think that you should follow your heart. I know I sound very mushy and everything, but what I'm saying is true. He kissed her forehead.

"Thanks." She smiled though still tired. "But I still feel like shit."

Hiei let out a laugh. He rolled his eyes. "You're hilarious, Kura-chan."

"I know. I know." She smiled a little.

"Oh. So you are able to smile today?" He grinned and then kissed her lips.

She rolled her eyes and then returned his kiss with a few of her own.

Sakura, Kurama, and Briar had finally reached the apartment after a rather slow journey from the school. Sakura was enthralled to be at the domicile. She wanted nothing more but to get an afternoon snack and chill out. She walked in before the other two and threw her bag into the same chair Kura had earlier. She proceeded toward the hallway. Kura's door was open; she could see herself and Hiei cuddling in the bed. She quietly 'awed' to herself and stood against the wall to watch them.

From the door, Briar and Kurama laughed- Sakura was just odd and amusing. They kicked off their shoes and put their bags by the door. What they were going to do for the weekend was still up in the air. They sat down on the couch to talk about some possible plans.

Sakura kept watching Kura and Hiei and all of their cuteness. She thought that she should be quick and get the camera, which she did. She quiet crept away from outside of the door and then found her camera in her bag. She turned it on and grinned as she quiet walked back to Kura's door. She put the camera up to her eye but then she quickly took it away from her face when she noticed Hiei was standing inside the doorway, looking at her. She bit her lower lip.

Hiei had his arms crossed over his chest. His eyes were narrowed to her. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked her.

Sakura giggled a little. "Oh. You know, just trying to get some pictures so I can frame you later!" She narrowed her eyes to him but continued to maintain her grin. She waved to Kura who was still in the bed. She had just sat up. "Hey, K-chan! Are you feeling better?"

Kura shrugged to her friend. "A little."

Hiei rolled his eyes. "Don't you have a husband to find and mate with or something?" In his mind, Hiei laughed but he kept a straight face.

Sakura's jaw dropped. "You know…" She rested her hands on her hips. ".. Just because you and Kura do it all the time doesn't mean that everybody else does!"

Kura sighed, giggled a little, and then retorted with, "Sakura. That was rather uncalled for!"

Sakura grinned and shrugged. "My bad!" Then she stuck out her tongue to Hiei only to turn a moment later and head back into the living room to put her camera back into her bag.

Briar and Kurama had been talking about possibly going to a small party that one of their classmates was having. In fact, that classmate was one of Kura's "friends". Briar insisted that Kurama inform their sisters and then suggest that they bring Hiei and Jin along also. Kurama wasn't too keen on the idea of him doing it, but he decided that he would during dinner.

Sakura put her camera back into her school bag and then slumped down into the chair. She sighed and smiled. "Oh its wonderful to be home!"

"Aaaah." Briar smiled. "I see that you're already trying to torture Hiei."

Sakura nodded. "Of course!"

Hiei grunted from Kura's bedroom door and rolled his eyes. "Glad to know that I'm just here for your pleasure and amusement."
Kura crawled out of the bed, put on some pants and a smaller t-shirt and then walked to the door. She stood behind Hiei for a second, quietly. A moment later she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her chin on his shoulder. She smiled. "But Hiei," she began, playfully. "you're here for my pleasure and amusement and you don't seem to care!"
Hiei's cheeks grew slightly red. He closed his eyes. He didn't want to see Kurama, Briar, and Sakura laughing at him.

Kura giggled and then pecked him on the cheek. "You'll live. Everyone gets embarrassed and you're no stranger to it!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Hiei sighed. He knew Sakura was enjoying him being embarrassed.

Sakura was cackling. She held her stomach. She felt tears from her laughter were streaming down her face. She wiped them off with her hand. "That was priceless! I should've snapped a picture of that!" She knew how much Hiei hated pictures. Kura could barely get him to smile when they were taking pictures.

Hiei rolled his eyes once more. He didn't enjoy Sakura laughing at him every day but he tried to accept that it was a part of her personality. He would put up with it for as long as he had to just so he could be with Kura. He unwrapped himself from Kura's arms and then turned to her. "And just so you know…" he started to tell her, a grin on his face. ".. you are my source of entertainment and amusement."

Kura's jaw dropped. "Thanks. Thanks a lot." She playfully hit him on the upper arm. "You know," She lightly pushed passed him. "you're not funny." She told him, jocularly.

Briar looked to Kurama and whispered, "see! All she needed was to be with Hiei for a bit!"

Kurama nodded, agreeing with her. "Too right you are, Briar-chan." He looked to his sister who was no longer frowning like earlier that day, but was now smiling. Her eyes were lightening up now; not pale and somber like earlier. He was happy when he saw his sister like this; it meant everyone was going to be happy.

Kura pulled herself up to sit on the counter top. "So how was class after lunch?" She looked to her brother and Briar and asked.

Briar shrugged. "Same ol', same ol'. We just took more notes on yet another lecture."
Kura started to groan about lectures. "Yes. Yet another mindless, meaningless lecture to keep our ears at bay. Why do they even try to lecture us?"

"Because, Kura," Kurama looked to his sister. "as students we must learn things."
Kura rolled her eyes. She was tired of being lectured and definitely tired of her brother lecturing her more than her teachers. "Okay. Okay. I get it." Sheesh. Does he ever stop?

Hiei walked to stand beside of her. "I think he just likes to hear himself talk." He retorted to Kura's thought.

She giggled, as did Sakura. Kurama looked at Hiei. "Thanks, Hiei. It's good to know that you're faithful."

Hiei laughed ever so slightly. "Who said I wasn't? I'm allowed to crack jokes every now and then."

Once more, Sakura was laughing rather loudly. Her face was red and she was clutching her sides. "That.. was.. priceless!" She got out through laughs.

Briar was giggling slightly. It's not like Hiei to be this.. casual… nor playful. She said to herself. She was beginning to like the ever-changing Hiei who was present right now.

Kurama shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Hiei was acting the way he was. He was so use to the strong, silent, antisocial Hiei. Hiei being slightly playful was so different. "So," He started as he stood up. "do you all mind going to dinner out on the town tonight? All of us." He looked to Hiei because he had a feeling his friend might want to try and weasel his way out of it.

Kura smiled. "That would be great! I'm starving! And Hiei will come too!"

Hiei nodded. Surprisingly, he actually wanted to get out of the house and go. He didn't have any protest.

Sakura agreed as well. "Sure! But I'm gonna call Jin-" POOF. Jin was suddenly standing behind Sakura. Sakura squealed slightly and then turned around. She hit him lightly on the arm. "Don't do that to me!"

Jin smirked. "I just do it because I love you, Sa'!" He snaked an arm around her waist and planted a kiss on her lips, making it all better. He looked to everyone else. "Did I hear something about dinner?"
Kura giggled. "Yes! Kurama has insisted that we all go out to eat!" She smiled. "And you're coming too, of course!"

Jin nodded. "Aye-aye!" He pulled Sakura closer to his chest. He took her to the couch and they sat down. Jin asked how her day was and she answered, and the conversation continued on.

"Oh!" Kura just realized that she should probably change her clothes before she goes out in public. "I'm gonna change right quick! When are we leaving in?" She looked to her brother who normally had all of the information planned out.

"We will be leaving at…" He said slowly as he looked at the clock on the wall. "… seven o'clock."

"So that gives you half of an hour to do whatever it is that you do." Hiei alerted her of the inevitable.

"Thanks Hiei." She narrowed his eyes at him as she kissed him on the cheek and then hoped down to the floor once he moved for her. "I'll be out ASAP!" And then she skipped off into her room, closing the door behind her.

Sakura and Jin looked to each other and said, "It's going to take her forever."

"IT IS NOT!" Kura called just as the door shut behind her.

Hiei grinned while everyone else laughed at Kura's expense.

It was a miracle! Kura had only taken ten minutes to get ready and change into a different outfit. The group gathered and then left the apartment to venture off through the street-lit city. The group soon arrived to the main street's sidewalk and found it was rather crowded. Of course it was a Friday night, but no one had ever seen it this congested in all of their years of living in the city.

Sakura and Jin were conspire with each other not even five minutes into the journey. They had decided to play Sidewalk Tag, but Briar quickly realized her sister was looking awfully suspicious so she grabbed her attention by quickly shouting out, "Sakura! Don't even think about it!" Jin and Sakura grinned to each other and then resumed walking together ahead of Briar, Kurama, Kura, and Hiei. Hiei and Kura were walking behind Briar and Kurama, creating small talk amongst themselves and holding hands cutely. They had been all week with barely seeing each other due to school for Kura. Kurama and Briar were just happy they were able to enjoy each other's company with out tons of girls obsessing over Kurama's "Suichi persona" through out the school day. Sakura was, of course, happy to be hanging out with Jin because she barely got to see him thanks to school, also! But she was able to hang out with him more so than Kura got to hang out with Hiei.

The restaurant they were trying to get to was one of the more nicer places in town, sort of. Okay, so that was a huge lie. The restaurant was the normal spot- the arcade-restaurant place Sakura and Kura loved. If anyone recalled it correctly, this was also the site where Kura had gotten drunk a few months ago thanks to Yusuke, Sakura, and even her brother (for telling Yusuke and Sakura about the only drink that made her that way). Teehee. D

Sakura and Jin looked back to Kura and Hiei. They grinned and then turned around to face forward and looked into the crowd ahead of them. Sakura started to giggle. "I can't wait to see Hiei with a bunch of kids runnin' around after him!"

Jin shook his head and kissed her on the temple. He rested his arm around her shoulders comfortably. "How many do you think they'll have?"
"Oh," Sakura sighed. "I don't know! They'll probably have one for each of Hiei's limbs! How funny would that be?!?"

Jin shrugged. "I don't know. It would be… cute."

Sakura laughed a little more. "Yeah. Riiiiight! Cute? Hiei will probably be chasing after them all, in attempts to kill because they're annoying him!"

"C'mon, Sa'…" Jin gave her a doubtful look. "he'll come to love his children after they have them. Besides, he can't raise children and be bitter for the rest of his life."

Sakura sighed, continuing to smile. "Yeah. You're right! Well… at least I hope you're right!"

Jin thought a moment about Hiei pondering a very precise death for each of his children in the future. He just laughed it off and shook the thought from his head. He knew Hiei had changed more than anyone could know. Ah, who knows! Maybe Hiei can suppress his instinct to kill any annoying beings when he has his own family. He found the image of Hiei and Kura with their own house and some children running around rather funny. It wasn't that he couldn't accept the fact that they would be able to take care of the children. It was the fact that he wasn't sure how many children they were going to have. Either way, the future will be hilarious but also full of more responsibility for every one of them. He looked over to Sakura, who was still in her own little world, and smiled. He pulled her closer to his side and pressed his lips against her temple. He was ready for Sakura to be done with her Human World schooling, but he knew he would have to wait for a year or two. He was patient enough.

Sakura was in her own world, indeed! Her mind was somewhere between flying squirrels and cotton candy. D She hadn't a worry in the world at this moment. She was with the man she loved and her friends and her sister.

The group finally arrived to where their waiter stood, ready to seat them. Sakura saw who it was and quickly turned around to Kura. "Kura! Be quick! Naō's our waiter!"

Kura sighed and made sure that Hiei and herself were holding hands. "Please," she began to plead. "save me."

Hiei wanted to laugh but forced himself to smile instead. "Don't worry, Kura-chan. He won't bother you anymore after tonight." With his crimson eyes he made stern eye contact with the young fellow as this Naō greeted them.

"Well, well! It seems that I just can't get away from you guys!" Naō joked. He made eye contact with Hiei who he'd only seen before. They'd never met. Naō was starting to feel slightly scared of this guy; he decided not to mess with him. He broke eye contact and then started to lead them to where they were going to sit. He had decided that he should give them a great spot: the only balcony seating the place had. It over-looked the beach which made for a beautiful view.

Kura squeezed Hiei's hand, smiled, and then pressed her lips against his right as they were passing by Naō to sit down at the table outside. Using his peripheral vision, Hiei could see Naō's discouraged face. He wanted to laugh but suppressed it and settled for a satisfied grin.

Sakura and Jin were giggling quietly with each other. They could tell that Hiei was enjoying Naō's misery all too much. Sakura could tell that Kura didn't want to be around Naō but she seemed rather at ease since her Knight in Shining Armor was there to protect her. She and Jin sat down beside of each other, across from Kura and Hiei. Sakura kept trying to get Kura's attention but couldn't, so she tried to look for something to throw at her.

Kurama and Briar could only be spectators to this festival of amusement. When Naō asked for what they'd like to drink, they answered of course, but then returned to paying attention to their siblings and what not. Naō asked Sakura and Jin what they wanted, and they answered as well. He was hesitant to ask Kura and Hiei but he did so because it was his job. Kura ordered for the both of them just so Hiei wouldn't insult her classmate. Kurama found this hilarious. He transmitted his thoughts to Briar. Honestly, I find this too amusing. Even though Naō is a classmate of ours… this is all too funny.

Briar flashed him a smile. Kurama-chan! You should really--- oh, what am I saying? It is funny. She looked back to her sister, Jin, Kura, and Hiei. Hilarious. She really did find it funny. Kura seemed rather scared of Naō. Well, she didn't seem scared of him; it was more so his feelings that she was afraid of.

Sakura couldn't help but laugh. No matter what she did, she laughed at Kura. She received that glare from her. It was the glare that said "you'll be paying for this later."

There wasn't much conversation during dinner. It was more of a time for everyone to just relax, which meant barely any humorous talk or anything of that nature which normally went on. It was sort of a date, a triple date if you would like to call it that. Kura and Hiei smiled to each other often and had mental conversations. Jin and Sakura had conversations with each other, aloud, and smiled and whatnot as well. Briar and Kurama had quiet conversations, with few words, but that was just how they conducted themselves. Naō kept his distance, though. He didn't want to be pushing nor intrude, and he just felt out of place; more so, he felt heartbroken.

When the group finally paid for their dinner, they sat on the balcony for a while to look at the moonlight reflecting on the calm ocean. Well, Kura and Hiei decided to go down and talk a walk on the beach. Jin and Sakura sat with Briar and Kurama. "Oh! If only we had the camera!! We could definitely get some snapshots of them in their kawaii-ness!!!"

"Somehow," Kurama laughed slightly. "I highly doubt Hiei would enjoy that."

Drop off! Hahaha! I got lazy...
