Secret Santa Christmas List
Hiei spent the rest of the day fuming in his room about almost spilling his life secret. How could he have been so stupid? "Kuwabara's gotten to me," was his excuse but he knew it wasn't a good one. As stupid as Kuwabara was, he wasn't to blame. "No, I blame him for making moves on her." He shuddered at the memory of when Kuwabara kissed her cheek. "God, it was like… him kissing me!" Once again, he shuddered but went back to brooding.
The others had gone out shopping for Christmas. Kurama had told them that they were picking Secret Santa tonight over at their house and to be prepared. He and Botan already decided to rig it so that Yukina and Hiei ended up with one another. "How are we ever going to pull it off without Hiei suspecting? He's going to know we rigged it," Botan told Kurama.
"No shit, Sherlock Holmes," Yusuke interrupted. He lit a cigarette and breathed into it deeply, slowing blowing the smoke out. "There's no way in hell you're going to pull it off without him ever knowing you two did it." He smirked evilly and joined Keiko and the others into a jewelry shop.
"Yusuke is correct," Kurama agreed. "We just can't let him catch us in the act." Kurama winked as Botan caught on as they joined the others. The store was beautifully lit with high chandeliers, as everything in the store was either the color of silver or white. "Yukina," Kurama called, "what would you like for Christmas?"
Yukina chuckled and looked back at him with those remarkably ruby red eyes. "I don't expect anything, Kurama. After all, it's a gift just to be here," she answered modestly. But Keiko came in and grabbed her arm with a smile.
"Come on, we have to get you something. You're like family," Keiko said excitedly. She watched Yukina blush. "Besides, I would feel terrible when exchanging gifts and knowing I didn't get you anything." She pulled Yukina to look at some white gold bracelets that were on sale.
Kuwabara blushed madly and looked at Yusuke. "I'm thinking of buying her a fancy ring," he admitted. Yusuke smirked and nudged him in the ribs. "Come off it, it's not like I'm asking her to marry me, I just think it's a step towards that direction!" The two of them and Kurama went to look at rings and exchange naughty joke while the girls giggled and gawked at beautiful jewelry.
Around the late afternoon, Hiei was out browsing. He was wearing his Hiruseki so that everyone who passed could see it. Remarkable how little crime there is about in this neighborhood, he thought. Growing up, he was use to walking in the streets and watching a fight to the death over a simple fabric cloth. He passed several stores before catching a unique store at the corner of his eye. He entered the store, amazed at how it fit all his needs.
The store was really big and crowded. "Looks like my shopping could be done quickly," Hiei told himself. Koenma made him get a job to pay for his living like the others. He was a martial arts instructor that tutored privately at houses. He was actually making quite a bit of money, considering his prices were off the roof. But he taught his pupils to their top ranks and made sure they never slacked.
"Can I help you?" The store manager, a pretty young lady came out of the backroom holding a towel as she dried her hands. "Are you looking for something in particular?" She came from the behind the counter and next to him.
"I don't need help," Hiei replied, not meaning for it to sound snappish though it did. "I'm just browsing." The lady smiled and went back to the backroom. It was really weird how the store had almost everything he could buy presents for. Searching around, he saw a section of clothing. If I recall, Keiko and Botan love clothes, he thought to himself, recalling the endless vast amount of clothing bags he saw at Keiko's house once. He could get the girl's presents out of the way. "Dammit, which fucking dress should I get them?
The store manager snuck up on him, surprised and amused to find him so confused. "What type of girls are they?" Hiei turned around. He had known she was there but had just not made noticed of her presence, like so many others. He turned around, sort of 'relieved' that she could help.
"How the hell do you pick out a dress for a girl?" He was so lost. He usually had Kurama to do this shit with him but it was much harder without him. He still hadn't forgiven him for the whole incident, but Kurama did get marks for helping out in that jam with Yukina earlier that morning. He explained that type of girls Keiko, and Botan were.
The lady looked through the dresses and picked out two different ones. There was a pink one with white trims and white doves and beads on it. That was for Keiko. The other one was blue with white trims also. This one had swans on it and was for Botan. "Thanks," Hiei mumbled. Now that he thought about it, it was embarrassing for this lady to have helped him. He left the store, having bought everyone a gift…except for Yukina. He had bought a long and slick white leather trench coat for Kuwabara, an exotic rose that changed colors (with the help of the Reikai Hiei was going to give it) for Kurama, Cuban cigars with the tipped dipped in vanilla for Shizuru, an embroidered pair of arm chains that climb up your arms for Yusuke, a fur coat for Genkai, and a white gold binky for Koenma. There were also the dresses for Keiko and Botan. His shopping was done, well, almost. He wanted to get Yukina something extra special.
By the time he got home, the rest of the gang were already there. "About God damn time, Hiei. We've been waiting an hour," Yusuke complained. Keiko quickly slapped him upside the head, causing him to rub his sore spot with a painful expression on his face. "Dammit, Keiko, you know it's true!" She glared at him as he glared back, still rubbing where she had slapped him.
"Baka, Yusuke," Hiei snarled. "Why in hell am I needed?" But he soon cleaned his language as soon as he saw Yukina staring at him, surprisingly smiling. He had dropped his bags near the front door so no one knew what he had been doing. It wasn't like he was going to tell them anyhow. He took a seat on the couch near Botan and slouched on the armrest, waiting to hear what they had been waiting for.
Kurama cleared his throat and sat straight up. "Well, Hiei, we're going to pick our Secret Santa partner." He held out a large hat with little slips in it. Each one of them went up to grab a piece of paper. "Now, open them." They each opened them together. Kurama opened his and ended up with 'Botan'. The list of who each other had gotten were
Kuwabara - Yusuke
Yusuke - Koenma
Hiei - Yukina
Kurama - Botan
Yukina - Hiei
Keiko - Kuwabara
Botan - Kurama
Shizuru - Keiko
Genkai - Shizuru
Koenma - Genkai
Hiei, very surprisingly, was shocked at getting Yukina. He looked up at her as she did he. They caught each other's glance and Hiei quickly looked away. Yukina, on the other hand, was still staring at him. "I shall get him something really special," she whispered. She walked up to him but was stopped by Kuwabara.
"Hey, sweetie, who did you get?" But Shizuru slapped him hard across the back of the head, her head shaking with disgrace. Kuwabara yelped aloud as the others snickered. "Gosh dammit, Shizuru, why'd you go and have to do that for?"
Shizuru slapped him again, this time watching him fall. "Because, little bro, first of all, this is called Secret Santa. Second, you don't cuss at someone who, not only can beat you up, but knows the perfect way to blackmail you." She sipped a beer she was holding and walked off. Kuwabara stood up to apologize to Yukina but she was no longer standing in front of him.
Yukina had seen Hiei go up the stairs during the scene and had followed halfway. She was standing at the end of the stairs, staring up into the darkness above her. She couldn't see anything up there…but she knew Hiei was staring back at her. Her concentration was broken when Kuwabara found her again. "Yukina, come over here! We're going to play some games," he called. She looked at him, took a step towards the other, but risked one more glance up the stairs before leaving.
Hiei was staring back at her, using the darkness as a shield. He knew that she knew he was staring but he didn't care. It was almost as if she really did know. "Should I just tell you?" His jagan began to painfully glow under its bandage, as answering with a threat. His heart was breaking as he just stood there, staring down the steps where she once stood. There was a painful burn in the back of his eyes. He was on the verge of tears. He quickly turned his head to stop the tears. Walking to his room, he looked back one more time. "I love you, Yukina…my Secret Santa… my secret."
