A/N:...Guess what? I finally updated. I have like one chapter left that I've written. I may or may not write more after this... I really need to, I suppose. But I am the laziest authoress in the world. Also, if you like this story, read like YYH Whose Line. It's like 1000 times better, I promise.

7:55pm

Hiei has to leave now. Grr. That baka old crone! Why does Hiei have to leave? I don't want him to leave. I told him that about a thousand times. Everytime he said, "I know. I don't want to leave yet, either, but I have to. Mukuro is getting frustrated with me and I just have to go." I sighed and told him ok, but that I love him. He looked taken back. He told me good night and left. I can't help but wonder if I did something wrong. Something bad.

X's and O's (only for Hiei, though)

Hiei came back again today. And I asked him about yesterday, and he wouldn't answer me. -.-' I can't figure out what I did yesterday, besides saying I love you. Hm...wait, is that it? That was the first time I've ever SAID it, but I've thought it about a thousand times, and I thought he knew. I guess he didn't and I scared him a little. Well, I only have three hours left with him today, so bye.

X's and O's (only for Hiei)

Ari

5:15pm

She did not scare me, alright? She just...threw me off a little. It was a surprise to hear her say it just like that. Three words I've never heard said to me like that, and words I've never said to anyone. It felt weird, kind of. Most demons never hear or say those words in their lifetimes, and I am one of those...until yesterday. And they're just too awkward to say back to her, whether I feel that way or not.

Hiei

8:30pm

Well, Hiei left, and I stumbled across his last entry. I had no clue he felt like that...I know that I love him so very much, but what I'm wondering is if he'll ever say those words back to me. If he ever can.

Ari

9:30pm

Ouch. That sucks for Ari. Kurama and I need to do something for the two of them. Hm...like what? Oh, but yeah, I went to meet Kurama's family today. They're really nice, and pretty forgiving, as I wasn't very fluent in their language, or dinner rules. There's just too many to remember, but I did a fairly decent job of it. The dinner conversation went something like this, "So, Chetara. How did you and Shuichi meet? Was it online, or..."

"Oh, no, we met in person." I had to laugh there. "I actually live in America, and..." Kurama got a worried look on his face. Oops, I guess his family didn't know he'd went to America. "And...uh, I came here to learn about Japan's wonderful culture, and I ran into him at...school."

"Wow!" That was little Shuichi. "What's America like?"

I started explaining, saying that it wasn't that different from there to here. Japan's actually more modern than America, and this and that.

So all in all, it turned out pretty good.

What's Chetara think she's going to do?? Tie Hiei down and make him say, "I love you" ? That just infuriates me! She needs to stay out of it! I stormed off to my favorite place to think; a giant silver maple tree. It's Fall, so the leaves are silver and just so beautiful. I bumped into someone there, however. "Oh, I'm sorry!" I had declared.

"It's nothing!" She grinned, cheerfully. She was drawing the tree and the nearby river.

"Hey, that's pretty good." I grinned, sitting down next to her. Her drawing was impressive.

"Oh, thank you!" She grinned. "I'm Kaily." She was about 5' 4", (It was hard to tell when she was sitting) she had long brown hair, lavender eyes, and was wearing black and pink clothes, and black converse.

"Ari." I nodded. We talked for awhile, and I watched her work on her drawing. Soon, however I had to go, Hiei might have been waiting for me...

He wasn't.

Ari

9:30pm

Ouch. That's harsh. I'm hiding this entry until this is all over; but I talked to Kurama, and we're trying to come up with something to help them...

Chetara K.

10/24/05

6:00pm

He's still not here. I went back to the tree, and Kaily was there. We laughed and talked about all sorts of things.

I told her about Hiei, and she frowned. "I wouldn't know what to do about that...I don't have a guy."

"Oh, I'm sorry." I couldn't believe it, but I let it go. "Surely you have some idea about my problem?" I had whined.

"Demons don't like, or understand those words. Most of them don't, anyway. It makes them uncomfortable, considering they don't love easy, or even at all...I guess just keep saying it?" She suggested.

I guess that's all I can do.

AM

7:00pm

Yay!!! He was waiting for me! He was really quiet and withdrawn, but I hugged him really close anyway. He got agitated when I told him that I missed him and loved him...

I guess that's what it was, agitation, when he pushed me away.

AM

10:00pm

My clock on here says 10. Hiei left and I fell asleep at 8, as usual. That's not what's weird...Um...see, I don't know where I am. Some stone cell somewhere...? Chetara's here, too, and unconscious...How did this happen?

AM

Midnight...

This is very, very bad. This guy just came and got Ari...This is really...Uh-oh, someone's comjaih

6:ooam

Urgh. Ow...my whole body is screaming...feels like something-or someone-bit me...except my whole body feels like it's dying. I'm back in the cell now... Chetara's here, too...I think we might have been turned into demons...but what's the chances of that?

AM

later...

We were rescued...Horray! Ow. Appearently, we were part of some stupid demon scientist's project...Hiei killed him! I got to watch! Yay! Ow. I hurtttttttttttttttttt... Soooooooooooooo bad. But not as bad as that guy! Ow. Exclmation points hurt. alllot. Also anytinhg that involbves about...above the home h row of keys...I'm not o corres correcting those mistakes anymore. hurts my fingers ttoo much,,.

AM

Correction by Kurama

I'm re-writing Ari's last entry to where it's readable.

7:00 AM

We were rescued...Horray! Appearently, we were part of some stupid demon's science project. Hiei killed him, and I got to watch. Yay! I hurt, but not as much as that scientist. Exclaimation points hurt to type. Also anything above the home row of keys...I'm not correcting those mistakes anymore, it hurts my fingers too much.

AM

hour later.

whew, Ari's not kidding. this hurts a lot. a very lot. It feels like my fingers areg are going to fall off. take off that areg word, I screwed up... Anyway, we were...yeah, I;'ll let ari suffer to ecxplaing it. I'll let Ari suffer to explain it. oops.

CK

next

I hurt still... I'm just going to suffer to the point of readability...Anyway, from what I've heard, it was quite a scene. They had us tied down and were investigating us after we were expirimented on, and Hiei stormed in and just...Chink! He pulled his sword out and just split him down the middle...Of course I was unconsence. I'm not that lucky to have seen it... Anyway, I'm healing, it seems like my body was...put to the grindstone, or something. That's what Kurama said. He's been sticking around, to help Chetara. Hiei's been at my beck n call since I was...mutantgenated...or something.

Ari

next day.

Well, I'm feeling alot better now. I'm smarter. Faster. A HECK of alot prettier...I've definitely changed. I have cat ears!! YES! and a cute lil tail. That's what Hiei said anyway, when he was playing with it. Everyone's out and about again. Chetara's in another room, and I'm here, doing this. I think I was...opened? No. Freed. Yes. I was freed. Where I am now... is far beyond anything I could have reached otherwise. Except for that little tiny problem I've been having... I think we humans call it bloodlust?

Ari

6:00 pm

I've been doing alot of thinking lately. About me, my new form, about Hiei. About this new world. About blood...god, there's one subject I can't escape. But anyway, I've been thinking about Hiei and I. I know he's been at my beck and call since this event, but...he wasn't the best boyfriend before this, and he definitely isn't now. And then there's the Mukuro thing...I don't know if there's anything going on THERE or not... I just don't think we're meant to stand much longer. I'll tell him this once he gets back. He went back home to report to Mukuro.

Ari

8:00pm

...Uh-oh. First thing first, I did NOT mean to cut myself. I dropped and broke a drinking glass, and when I went to pick it up, I cut my hand. Deeply. I... uh... 'cleaned it out, happily' until Hiei showed up, and saw me licking a bloody wound on my hand. NOT a good way to start my conversation.
"Hey, Hiei..." My mouth was full of skin, hand, and blood. It came out garbled.

"Ari...what are you doing?" Hiei said, calmly, looking horrified.

"I accidentally cleaned my..." I blinked. "Oops. I mean, I dropped my glass, and cut myself. Now I'm cleaning it..."

"Get your wrist out of your mouth." Hiei ordered. I shook my head. We got into a sort of scuffle, where in the end, Hiei RIPPED my wrist out of my mouth, causing it to start bleeding again. That's where I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

"Look what you did!!" I shouted, trying to squelch the bleeding. He looked taken back. "It had JUST stopped bleeding! You're such a jerk sometimes!"

I ran off then to another room, and tried to stop the bleeding all over again. He didn't come after me.
