Hiei waited until everyone except Kurama left for church before going in the sliding back door which Kurama had left open for him.

"Hungry?" Kurama asks without even turning around.

"Hn," Hiei says shaking his head and sniffs the air. "Why were there so many ningen children here all night?" Kurama turned and stared at Hiei.

"You've been watching my house at night?"

"NO! It just reeks of them that's all." Kurama stared suspiciously at Hiei before turning back around to finish washing the dishes.

"Shuichi had a sleepover last night."

"What's a... sleepover?" Hiei asked and sat on a stool at the counter.

"It's when a bunch of your friends come over to your house at night and stay until morning."

"So they slept at your house?"

"Well not exactly. It's called a sleepover but most of the time they don't sleep. Shuichi and his friends watched a bunch of movies, ate pizza and popcorn, played games, and drank pop until they passed out around three in the morning."

"What's pop..."

"It's that fizzy stuff you tend to drink whenever you can get your hands on it. Usually comes in a can."

"Not that, the other one." Kurama looked at Hiei questioningly. "The one you said they ate with pizza."

"Oh popcorn." Hiei nodded. "That's what I bought you at the theater remember. It was in a big bucket and gone in two seconds."

"Was not." Hiei sat in silence as Kurama finished the dishes.

"Would you like to have a sleepover?" Kurama asked sitting next to Hiei.

"That's a ningen thing. Besides I don't have any friends and I don't want any either." Hiei got up and started for the back door.

"I consider you my friend." Hiei stopped in his tracks but didn't turn around. "I was thinking about having a sleepover next weekend."

"So your part ningen. You can have one if you want."

"So can you if you want."

"I don't wanna!" Hiei ran out the back door before Kurama could stop him.

Monday

"Yo Kurama!" Yusuke yelled when he saw Kurama come out of his school.

"Urameshi! He's Shuichi Minamino here remember?" Kuwabara said as Yusuke just shrugged.

"What do you thinks so important that Kurama wanted us to meet him here after school anyway?"

"Technically it's not after school. You were at the arcade all morning."

"So."

"Thanks for meeting me here guys," Kurama said and they began to walk together.

"So what's up anyway?" Yusuke asked.

"Hiei's going to his first sleepover this weekend and I need your help to get him there."

"Isn't Hiei too old for a sleepover?" Kuwabara asked.

"In demon years Hiei's only a toddler."

"So Hiei's gonna grow?"

"I've thought about that but I don't really know."

"I don't think he's grown since I've met him," Yusuke says.

"Well we haven't known him that long," Kuwabara said.

"I'm not sure if it's because I've grown but it seems like Hiei's shrunk since I met him."

"Where do we have to take him?" Yusuke asked.

"Actually you don't have to take him anywhere. What I want you to do is tell Hiei that we're having a meeting at my house this Friday and that he has to be there."

"You're having a sleepover?" Kuwabara asked snickering.

"Yes and you two are coming as well."

"What? We're too old for sleepovers."

"We'll be there," Yusuke said and Kuwabara stared at him. "If Hiei doesn't sense us in the house, he won't go."

"So why does he have to go anyway?"

"Because I know he wants to but he doesn't want to say it," Kurama said as they reached his house. "Are you going to help me or not?"

"I'll let him know on Thursday," Yusuke said and they all went their separate ways.

That Thursday, just like every other Thursday, Yusuke stopped in front of Hiei's tree carrying a bag of dog food. Yusuke didn't have to knock because Hiei sensed him coming and was always outside waiting. Without a word Hiei took the bag and went back into the tree. Yusuke thinks about it for a moment but continues on his way before remembering about the sleepover. Yusuke goes back to the tree and Hiei comes out.

"What?" Hiei asks.

"I forgot to tell you, we're having a meeting with Koenma tomorrow."

"So."

"Well it's gonna be at Kurama's house. So be there by six."

"Why Kurama's? Won't his ningen family get suspicious?"

"He's just gonna tell them it's a... study group or something like that."

"Fine but I still want pop."

"What?"

"Whenever I'm at Kurama's he doesn't let me have more than one can of pop like you do."

"Why not?"

"I don't know. He says I'm gonna become a bed wetter if I drink too much."

"Okay well just be there." Hiei nodded and went back into the tree as Yusuke walked off wondering about the questioning look Hiei had when he said bed wetter. 'Maybe he doesn't know what a bed wetter is. But Kurama's right with Hiei's size and the amount of pop he drinks at my house, he should be a pants wetter.'

"Mother I have a favor to ask you," Kurama said after breakfast on Friday.

"Sure honey what is it," Shiori said wiping her hands on a dish towel.

"Well one of my friends that I invited for tonight doesn't have anything for a sleepover and I was wondering if he could borrow some of Shuichi's."

"I'm sure Shuichi wouldn't mind Hiei borrowing his things." Kurama smiled at Shiori figuring out it was Hiei. "Now get going so your not late for school. I'll find everything Hiei needs. Kurama was at the door when he turned to look back at Shiori. "What is it honey?"

"I don't think Hiei even has pajamas."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything." With that Kurama left for school and Shiori got ready to go to the store.

It was five after six when Hiei walked through the back door only to have it closed behind him and locked by Yusuke.

"W-what's going on?" Hiei asked as he stared at Yusuke.

"You're sleeping here tonight," Kurama said coming up behind Hiei. Hiei spun around too fast in shock and fell on his butt. There was a flash of light as Kurama reached out a hand to help him up before Kuwabara walked up laughing with a camera.

"That was perfect," Kuwabara said. Hiei hit Kurama's hand away and got up on his own.

"Hn," Hiei said and went to the door but it wouldn't slide open. "Open this door now!"

"I said you're sleeping here tonight," Kurama said grabbing Hiei around the waist and picking him up. Hiei began to scream and thrash about.

"Is everything okay Shuichi?" Shiori asked from the top of the steps.

"Yes mother. Sorry we were being so loud."

"Oh may I please speak to Hiei for a moment."

"Uh sure mother." Kurama let go of Hiei but not before whispering in his ear. "Don't do anything you're gonna regret." Hiei walked up the steps before following Shiori into her room.

"Now Hiei I know my son tricked you into coming. What I want to know is why he felt he had to trick you."

"I've never been to a sleepover," Hiei said staring at the stuff on the bed.

"Does your mother know you're here?"

"My mother's dead."

"Oh I'm sorry. Well does your father know you're here?"

"I never knew my father."

"Oh. Who do you live with?"

"Mesuinu, Sora, Kiba, and Ebi."

"Hiei! It's very rude to call people bad words."

"But-"

"It doesn't matter, it's still rude. Do they know that you're here?" Hiei nodded with tears in his eyes. "Alright. Shuichi said you didn't have anything for a sleepover so I picked you up a few things."

When Hiei went back downstairs he was wearing a thin Charmander sleeper and carrying a Charizard sleeping bag and a pillow shaped like Charmeleon. Yusuke and Kuwabara were trying not to laugh after Kurama had warned them about what Shiori had bought Hiei. "Ready to watch a movie Hiei?" Yusuke asked trying to ignore what the fire demon was wearing. They watched a movie, ate popcorn and pizza, and Hiei drank about five cans of pop when Kurama announced it was time to go to sleep. Everyone except Hiei were laying in their sleeping bags when Kurama noticed Hiei was gone.

"Where'd Hiei go?" Kurama asked the other two.

"I think he went upstairs," Yusuke said. Just then Hiei came out of Shiori's room and back downstairs.

"What were you doing in there?"

"I peed," Hiei said.

"You went to my mother's room just to use her bathroom?" Hiei thought about it before nodding. "Did she ask what you were doing?" Hiei shook his head. "Okay go to sleep." Hiei laid down in the sleeping bag but couldn't fall asleep.

Kuwabara awoke when he heard Hiei, dressed in his normal clothing, trying to open the back door again. "What are you doing?" Kuwabara asked getting up and going over to Hiei.

"I need to go outside," Hiei said. Kuwabara unlocked the door and opened it. Hiei stood there for a moment. "Could you tell Kurama that I'm sorry?"

"Sorry for what?"

"I can't sleep here. I'm going back to my tree to sleep."

"Oh so you're homesick?"

"No I'm not sick. I just can't sleep here."

"It's just what it's called when you're away from home and you wanna go back." With a quick nod Hiei leaves and heads for his tree. Once Hiei climbed into the tree and laid down he was out like a light.
