We're going for a walk. We're actually walking right now, but I packed along a notebook. Hiei gets annoyed when I document everything that goes on w/ him. He was getting annoyed with me in general until I remedied that. It's amazing what a single kiss can do. Hiei, of course, tree hopped and I had to walk. It seems Hiei is destined to leave me because, guess who I just saw? The Reikai Tantei. Hiding in my woods. They haven't noticed us yet. I asked Hiei what he wanted to do. Hiei was silent. Hiei said, "Can I go see them?" I said, "Of course. Go ahead." Hiei snuck up behind them and...They almost killed him. Apparently, they were on high guard and were afraid someone was going to attack them. And, once they realized it was Hiei it was all between friends. All in fun and games. They laughed once. Well, I made the mistake of laughing hysterically when I saw how the powerful, tough, masculine Reikai Tantei reacted to being scared. Kuwabaka screamed loudly, like a girl, Kurama jumped at least three feet in the air, Yusuke fired off a reflex shot, screaming. It missed Hiei by a...foot maybe. It was soo close to hurting him. I couldn't stand it. I hit the ground laughing. Hiei shot me a dark look. "What are you laughing at, Ari?" He asked me darkly. "Your friends," I choked out. "They're so very tough and masculine." Hiei was still in a mood from almost being beheaded so he didn't laugh. I was laughing so hard, I cried. Let's say, I didn't get off on a good foot with them.

When I quit laughing, I apologized to them and introduced myself properly. "Gomen. Um...My name's Ariana Miyuki. I prefer Ari. I already know your names so you don't have to introduce yourselves." They looked at me. "Are you the one who kidnapped Hiei?" Yusuke asked. "Ugh...Kidnapping's such a harsh word. Not kidnapped. Borrowed w\o asking." I grinned. "How did you do that?" Kuwabaka asked. (I hate his guts! And Hiei knows this.) "She used a..." Hiei started, then forgot what it was called. "I used a tranquillizer dart." I finished. "Wait! You used a tranquillizer dart on Hiei, and then kidnapped him?" Kurama asked. "Not KIDNAPPED. Borrowed him w/o asking." "Hiei, you're going to let her talk about you like that?" Kuwabaka asked. "...Hn." Hiei said. "Ari, are we going home soon?" The boys facevaulted and sweatdropped in disbelief. "W-wait Hiei. Does this mean you're not going to come back w/ us? You're going to stay with a human girl who kidnapped you?" Yusuke asked. "..." Hiei said. "Hiei, you know you can leave and go with them at any time." I said. "...Hn.Yes." He said. "I know." "...Are you going to go? You can go. No pressure. If you want to, go." Hiei looked in my eyes to see if I was lying, I think. I'm not sure. "..." I think he was torn. He really wanted to go with his friends, but didn't want to leave me. Suprisingly. The team looked at us funny. "I think your friends need you, Hiei." "What about you?" He asked. I had nothing to say. His friends didn't say anything. They couldn't because they were...choking, I think. I decided to be cheerful. I thought it would make him feel better. "Well, you'll just have to come visit me sometime. And often." I said, cheerfully. "You sound like Botan." He growled. I laughed. "Bingo!" The team and Hiei cringed. I laughed wickedly. "Stop." Hiei asked. "Ok." I nodded. "I'll be sure to stock up on sweet snow, jelly beans, popcorn, and potato chips when you come over." "Get Lays." Kuwabaka laughed hysterically at that. "Wait, guys. Before you guys go back home, can a friend of mine meet you all?" Hiei snapped to attention, "Not Arika." Kuwabaka continued to laugh. "No, not Arika. Chetara." "The girl who's obsessed with Kurama?" "Yes. My best friend." I said pointedly. "She won't...attack me or anything will she?" Kurama asked. "I've been there and would prefer not to go back there." "No. She'll probably pass out from excitement." I grinned. "If she doesn't than she might. I would distance myself if I were you." Kurama nodded. "Stay here." I said. "I'm coming." Hiei said. "I would stay here, Hiei. You haven't talked to your friends in weeks." He grunted, then nodded. I ran and called Chetara. Excitedly.
