Naomi approached the refrigerator, opened it, and bent down to look inside. Staring back at her was a spider. The web consumed the entire door, proving the point it was never opened, especially used. Her stomach growled as she stood up with a grumbling sigh only to see Hiei standing, leaned against the door frame watching her every move.

She jumped a little as she spoke "Did you uhm,..did you drink the last water? There isn't any more?" she half asked, half stated. Hiei's response wasn't with words, but rather with actions as he reached into he cabinet and opened it for her to see. Naomi gazed at it with wide eyes, staring back at her was around about 50 packages of ramen noodles stacked neatly by flavor and size and then in the lower corner an entire shelf of bottled water.

The silence grew as she continued to stare in disbelief at the site in front of her. "No wonder your so skinny,..." she trailed off "You never eat anything!"

"Are you easy and blind?" he retorted as he scoffed as if the packages in front of him qualified as real food.

"Ouch,...that hurt" she refereed to the comment. "So, we're going to the store!" Naomi exclaimed clapping her hands together.

"Uh,...maybe you are. I'm not going anywhere", a grin laced the fibers of Hiei's face. He almost laughed at how foolish this girl was, she snaps her fingers and he's supposed to just go to the store? Fuck that.

"And if I die on the way there,...it comes back on you." Naomi smirked. "Oh yeah Hiei, two can play this game." As the grin melted from his face and an irritated glance replaced it, he said nothing as he put his shoes on and exited the room. Naomi frowned "Is it really that big of a deal?" she shouted after him.

"I suppose I can't let the innocent child suffer from your short comings", was the sole reply from the mouth of the angered one. "My short comings? You're the one that doesn't have any food! People can't live on ramen noodles." Naomi accused.

"People can, infants cannot, this I fully comprehend, thus why I did not put up the fight. Put your hormones away and hurry up" Hiei said with a sigh as she trudged behind him clearly annoyed.

And so a shopping trip began to the local market, it was now 2:00 am. "Are there even stores open at this hour?" the girl questioned curiously. "No."

"Well then,...where are we going? How are we getting the food?" panic laced her voice.

"We're going to steal it" Hiei shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing. Leaving Naomi dead in her tracks blinking slowly.

And so a few hours later and some utterly destroyed warehouses later, Hiei's fridge was full of whatever they could carry. "Do you cook?" Hiei asked crossing his arms. "Uh,..if I say no are you going to yell at me again?" she questioned with doubt surrounding her statement as they peered at the array of food on Hiei's coffee table.

A loud sigh emerged from the fire demon as he gathered some cabbage, onions, garlic, carrots and pork from the freezer and trudged into the kitchen. He placed the items on the counter and ripped a small knife from the dining room wall. "Kurama is coming" he stated as he held the knife under the flame of his hand to properly sanitize it

"Who's Kurama? And why is he coming at this hour?" she questioned as she sat on the kitchen floor huddled far from the heater.

"He will be your medic, he is a spirit detective also. He knows far more about women than I ever want to know and he will take proper care of you for the next year or so. He is coming now, because I don't do mornings" he said as he checked the blade for nicks or anything else keeping the knife from being absolutely perfect. He began to finely dice the onions demonstrating his speed as the knife made contact with the rest of the vegetables as if they were made from the thinnest material possible and began to saute them in a pan

She tugged at the rim of her collar again as she watched in awe "Your a speed/fire demon?" she inquired. Hiei reached over to the thermostat dragging the tiny knob over to 0 as the furnace shut off "I guess you could say that, clearly you have ice demon blood in you, but you don't have the guts to reach up and turn the heat off if you are warm"

"Its your house." she stated as she watched him prepare pot stickers as she lay on the floor. "Too much sex got you tired?" Hiei smirked folding over the sides of the won ton wrappers. "Shut up" she stated as if it was starting to no longer upset her, and she started to truly understand Hiei's personality "I just don't feel well". "You remember what I said" he said redrawing the boundaries as he fried them in the pan. "About what?" she questioned as the color started to drain from her face, it was obvious she was going to be sick, even more guaranteed when she covered her mouth rising from her seat rather quickly to the sink.

"No. No" Hiei said as he gripped her by the shoulders and guided her with grace to the trash can, where she proceeded to bring back up what seemed to be, everything she had ever eaten. Hiei removed the stickers from the heat and placed the water beside her on the floor as he waited for her to finish. He brought dinner out to the coffee table after ten more minutes of heaving.

Naomi shuffled across the floor seemingly exhausted as she lay across the couch in a cold sweat. In perfect timing Kurama entered the building. How did he get in? Only someone like Hiei chooses the numbers 1 to 13 as his code.

After a few moments of awkward introductions, Kurama began his exams while Hiei, seemingly, unaffected pity wise by the bout of vomiting watched enjoying his pot stickers.

Kurama then pulled Hiei aside after the testing was complete and Naomi lay fast asleep on the couch, pot stickers left untouched. "You have to watch her, this parasite is going to devastate her completely, if not kill her"

"Its her problem, not mine" Hiei sneered crossing his arms a few feet down from the tall plant wielder.

"I'm not asking you to pity her Hiei, just watch her nor am I asking you to fall in love with her, just take care of her, you know?" Kurama rolled his eyes at the temper of the fire demon.

"Yeah I know" Hiei muttered,

Little did Hiei know that Kuramas instructions would soon carry truth.
