IwuvMyKenshyPoo- Wow, really? I didn't know that… I just randomly picked a name when I was writing.
Red Kitsune Flames- thank you, I'm glad you like it.
"SURPRISE!" shouted a bunch of voices gleefully.
Yukina simply stared in a shocked daze, just beyond the opened door stood a group of people, all of whom she knew. Botan, Kurama, Kuwabarra, Yusuke, Keiko, Shizuru, Touya, Jin, and Genkai (Of course there was also Hiei, whom was standing right beside her.)
"What?" Yukina said, still a bit shocked.
Kurama smiled as he placed a bright blue party hat on top of Yukina's head. "Happy birthday." He said.
Yukina smiled happily. They threw me a birthday party! She thought. The ice maiden was so glad that she had friends that would go through all this trouble for her.
"Well don't just be standin' out there!" Jin laughed, "Come inside, it's your birthday party after all." He smiled his ridiculous smile that never seemed to leave his face… ever.
Yukina and Hiei walked inside, the fire demon rolled his eyes at Jin as he shut the door.
The large group headed for the living room. While everyone was talking (well… almost everyone. Hiei and Touya, being the quiet demons they are, didn't really talk.) Jin had left to retrieve some cds that could be played in the stereo moved into the living room for the special occasion.
"Happy birthday kiddo." Genkai said to Yukina.
"Thank you." The ice maiden said, a smile on her face.
"Oh, Kurama!" Jin called just as music turned on and was blaring out of the stereo. Hiei winced slightly, wondering how one could even think, let alone be heard with the music being played as loud as it was. Botan apparently felt the same way, because she turned it down to a volume that would not cause everyone to be deaf afterwards and sighed.
Botan, who had closed her eyes and covered her ears, began to open her eyes as she moved her hands away from her delicate ears.
"Awww… you guys are no fun…" Jin complained.
Kurama looked at the wind master. "What did you want to tell me Jin?" the fox asked.
Jin cheered up noticeably, smiling. "Well…" he started, holding up a bottle. "I found this while I was walking through the kitchen!"
Kurama had an expression on his face that seemed to say 'so…what?'
Suddenly the spirit detective beamed. "Ah… I see." He said. "Spin the bottle is the greatest party game!" He glanced at Keiko through the corner of his eye. The girl began to turn a rather bright shade of red.
"Spin the bottle? What's that?" Yukina questioned, not having played the game before. Everyone turned to look at her.
"You'll see." Jin said, winking at the ice maiden.
Once they all sat in a circle by the couch (Hiei actually sat on the couch, but was still in the circle) Jin spun the bottle.
Everyone watched the bottle go round and round until it stopped. They looked at whom the bottle landed on. It was Keiko, who by this time looked panicked. Jin smiled, but before he could do anything Yusuke grabbed Keiko and kissed her deeply.
"Yusuke!" Jin complained. But quickly shut up when the spirit detective (who was determined not to let anyone kiss Keiko) shot him evil glare.
The sorely disappointed wind master simply sighed heavily and glanced at Yukina. "It's your birthday, you should spin it." He told her, motioning toward the bottle.
The ice maiden's long fingers reached out to the bottle lying on the ground, making it spin. She watched as it spun around and around, until it finally came to a stop, pointing to the person sitting right beside her.
For a moment Yukina's mind went blank, forgetting who had sat next to her right before they all began to play. Slowly, she lifted her head and had but a moment to see Touya's blue eyes before his lips softly brushed against hers. Time appeared to stop for the two ice demons.
As they withdrew from the kiss, Hiei winced and Kuwabarra (doing all he could to remain quiet) gave a jealous glare. Yukina and Touya simply watched each other, a blush was on both of their faces, while the others continued to play spin the bottle for quite a while.
They both finally snapped back to reality when they heard Kuwabarra's ridiculous clapping and laughter.
"Wow sis' that's some catch you got!" the big oaf laughed, sticking out his thumb, after Shizuru and Kurama broke from their kiss.
Shizuru merely glared at her idiotic little brother with a look that clearly said 'Shut up or I'll tell everyone what you did when you were four in detail' after acknowledging this Kuwabarra promptly shut up.
It was Botan who broke the silence that fallowed. "Since everyone has had a turn…" she paused and looked at Hiei, a sour expression on her face. "… Sort of." (While Yukina and Touya zoned out, Botan's spin landed on Hiei. Because the fire demon had put up a big fuss, Botan had only managed to kiss his cheek.)
"Hn." Hiei looked away. "I don't do these things." He complained.
Botan heaved a sigh and turned her attention back to the group. "Anyway…" The blue-haired woman started. "Lets head to the kitchen for cake and presents."
Everyone seemed to agree that it was a splendid idea and headed into Kurama's kitchen, talking noisily.
Once the large group was seated and had a slice of cake, Shizuru set the presents in front of Yukina.
Yukina picked up a present that seemed to have been hurriedly wrapped in red wrapping paper. She began to tear at the seemingly endless quantity of tape that practically engulfed the present as Kuwabarra, not really to anyone's surprise, announced that the present was from him. The ice maiden finally tore off the last of the cursed tape and opened the box that had been revealed under the wrapping paper. Inside the box was a picture frame, with a picture of Yukina and a very ridiculous-looking Kuwabarra. "Thank you." Yukina thanked as she set it carefully aside and reached for the next present.
"That one is from Me, Shizuru, Genkai, and Keiko." Botan informed Yukina as the girl picked up the small box.
Yukina opened the package and gasped. Inside were two beautiful hairclips that were encrusted with diamonds. "Wow," she managed to say. "Thank you!"
Another package was put in her hands as she placed the hairclips aside. Yukina looked up at Yusuke, who had given her the gift.
"This is My, Hiei's, and Jin's gift to you." Yusuke announced.
The ice maiden peeled into the package. The volumes of manga were in it. She read the title. "Poltergeist report?" she questioned, not having heard of it before. (Author's note: I've been told that Yu Yu Hakusho translates into ghost files or poltergeist report.)
Yusuke smiled. "It's actually very interesting." He said. "I think you would like it."
Yukina smiled as she saw Kurama handing her a bouquet of roses. "They're beautiful." She told him, taking in the scent of the roses.
The fox grinned, "I'm glad you like them."
Yukina giggled as she felt something slide around her neck and cold fingers on her skin.
"This is my present to you, happy birthday Yukina." Touya whispered in her ear.
Yukina looked down to see that a beautiful safire necklace had been put around her neck.
"It's beautiful." She announced. "Thank you."
Hiei watched the two of them intently until Kurama's voice broke him out of his daze.
"Hiei?" the fox called. "Could you please help me with something?"
The fire demon got up and fallowed Kurama as they walked out to the backyard. He was slightly suspicious when he noticed that Kurama was hiding something.
Kurama turned around and held two sais out to Hiei. Both of them had a dragon carved into the handles, and they seemed to glow in the moonlight. The fox gave the two sais to Hiei, who stood wide eyes and speechless.
"What's this for?" the fire demon asked.
"They're my birthday present to you." Kurama replied, he then winked. "You didn't think I wouldn't know would you?" The crafty fox walked with Hiei back into the house. "Happy birthday Hiei."
Yukina had gathered all her belongings as she stepped outside, preparing to go home. She sighed, 'it is going to be rather hard to walk home while holding all this.' The ice maiden thought to herself. Suddenly half of the weight was lifted from the mountain of things she had to carry. Yukina looked up to see Touya smiling down at her.
"You seemed to be struggling." He told her. "I'll help you carry these to your house." Touya offered as he watched the ice maiden nod with relief.
"Thank you." She said.
The two ice demons had been talking and laughing all the way to Yukina's house. The ice maiden opened the door and set the contents in her arms down onto a table in the hall and watched Touya do the same.
Yukina smiled. "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." She apologized as she walked Touya to the door. "Thank you so much."
Touya stepped outside, still watching Yukina. He gave her a warm smile before lowering his head and letting his lips press against hers. "It was my pleasure." He said, turning around. "Until we meet again." The ice master waved as he set off.
Yukina didn't move for the longest time. Finally she closed the door and touched her lips as she began to tread softly up the stairs. Her heart wouldn't stop beating.
Suddenly, a glimmer by the window caught her attention. Yukina hurried over to see what it was. The ice maiden found a golden fountain pen encrusted with jewels with a simple not attached to it.
Happy Birthday dearest sister,
Yamaha.
Yukina smiled to herself as she fell on her bed. "Thank you, Yamaha." She mumbled before she drifted off to sleep.
As you can see, I made this chapter a bit longer, which is why it took a bit longer than planned. I hope you all like it! Please take the time to review, I enjoy reading reviews, they help me when I start writing.
