Chapter 3: A week with Hiei part 1
Monday:
"HIEI!" yelled Rei. Rei had already eaten breakfast and was now looking Hiei to go shopping with her. "HIEI, WHERE YOU AT?" Rei went out to the back to see if she could find him.
Where Hiei is…
Hiei was laying down on a tree branch to sleeping when he was rudely awoken.
"Hiei!" said Rei who appeared out of nowhere. Hiei jumped, almost falling out of the tree, out of surprise.
"What?" yelled Hiei, "Can't I get some peace and quite?"
"With me around? No way! Any way, you're going to take me to the mall!" she said as more of an order than a question. Hiei sat back on the branch and glared.
"Can't."
"Why not?"
"Sleeping."
"So after you're done sleeping than we can go to the mall?"
"Yeah sure."
'I'll just sleep until the mall closes,' he thought. Yeah with Rei, that's not gonna happen.
"Promise?"
"Yes okay! Just leave me alone!"
"Okay!"
Five minutes later…
The sound of gunshots echoed throughout the forest. Hiei was on the ground staring wide at the crazy girl who just shot at him.
"Oh good, you're up. We can go to the mall now," she said. She had that look in her eyes that said 'do it or I blow your brains out.'
"No." said Hiei getting back his glare.
"You promised!"
"I change my mind." A shadow covered Rei's eyes as she gripped he gun. She looked up and her eyes had a murderous look to them.
"I hate people who brake their promises!" she yelled as she started shooting at Hiei. He quickly got up and ran only to be followed by the shots. As time went on the shots never decreased but actually increased. Hiei looked back to see Rei had two guns.
'Damn it! He was right!' thought Hiei.
Flash back…
"Hiei be careful of Rei," said Koenma.
"Why?"
"When she really wants something she'll get it at all cost and not give up."
"So she's a spoiled brat."
"Well, yes. A crazy spoiled brat. Actually I don't think crazy is the right word." He said muttering the last part.
End…
'Now I know what he meant. Won't give up, huh? Neither will I!' About an hour later Rei ran out of bullets.
'Knew she couldn't keep it up.' He thought as he skidded to a halt. Yet again Hiei was wrong. Rei took out a machine gun. From where? Who knows. 'Shit!' Hiei once again ran for his life. Another hour went by and Rei had gone though ten other guns. She finally ran out of them and had to stop. By now, most of the forest was gone and Hiei was very tired.
"I win," said Hiei.
"Not quite," said Rei with that same look in her eyes. She took out a tape player and pressed play.
"My name is Hiei and I'm in love with Kuwabara. I like fluffy pink bunnies and frilly skirts. Like to dance and sing when know ones around. I also wet the bed but do tell anyone…" came Hiei's voice from the tape. Hiei's jaw dropped.
"I NEVER SAID ANY OF THAT!" he yelled.
"I have my ways." Said Rei as she took the tape out. Hiei raced get it but Rei dodged his attempt. Now if Hiei wasn't so tired he would of got it. He turned back around to try again but stopped when he saw Rei putting the tape in her shirt.
"Come and get it." She said patting her chest. Hiei growled in defeat. Rei's mood suddenly changed from 'I'll kill you' to happy perky. "Goody! I'll go change and meet you down stairs!" She skipped away and went back inside. Hiei fell to his knees, now realizing what she did.
'That onna missed the shots on purpose just to get me tired! She had this all planed out! She knew I was going to saw no! That clever bitch!'
If he thought I was crazy now, just wait. You'll see I can get crazier.
"Wow! This is your car?" asked Rei. Hiei had a very cool black sports car with a red dragon on the sides.
"Yeah," he said as he unlocked it with the key lock.
"I didn't know you could drive," she said as they got into the car.
"Koenma required us to get a license," he said as they drove off.
"I once had license," she said staring out the window.
'Once?' thought Hiei.
"They took it away. Something about reckless driving and three strikes you're out."
'She is crazy!'
"Yeah once I skidded my bike under a gas truck at the intersection. That kinda cause some damage… So on the way back can I drive?"
"NO!"
"Where to start? Where to start?" muttered Rei.
"Just pick!" grunted Hiei.
"But this place is sooooooo big!"
"If you don't pick I'm leaving!"
"Okay, okay. Lets go get the paint for my room first."
"What color? I like this purple but this one's cool too. What do you think Hiei?" asked Rei.
"The darker one," said Hiei who wasn't even looking.
"Okay. All get a gallon of this purple and black, and a little one of silver and gold…look Hiei, it's the color of your eyes!" yelled Rei jamming the color sample into his face.
"So?" he asked shoving the sample away from him.
"I like your eye color." Hiei stared at her and walked away with the purple and black paint in his hands. "What's with him…Any way, I'm getting this!" Rei ran after him with the three little cans of paint.
"Okay now lets go get room stuff," said Rei.
"Fine," said Hiei. They went into a bedroom and bathroom store and got new sheets, blinds, towels, and toiletries. She already had everything else. After that they went to get new clothes for Rei and much to Hiei's dislike, he was constantly asked 'how does this look?' and 'does this make me look fat?' Also to Hiei's aversion a lot of girls stared at him.
"Let's get lunch!" said Rei.
"You can eat at home," said Hiei.
"But I'm hungry now and I don't want to eat at home!" argued Rei.
"To bad!"
"They've got sweet snow."
"Okay lets go," said Hiei as he dashed off to the food court. Rei got some Raman and sushi and Hiei got his sweet snow. After lunch they headed back to the car to drop the stuff off and went back to an electronic store where Rei got a laptop, stereo, CDs, and anime.
"Koenma's letting you get all of this?" asked Hiei as Rei checked out.
"He said the essentials," said Rei as she paid with Koenma's credit card.
"How is anime an essential?"
"It makes the world go around…and it keeps me sane."
'She's sane?' thought Hiei.
"Here you go ma'am and enjoy your day," said the clerk.
"Thanks, you too. Lets go home."
Home. The word was foreign to me. I never before really felt at home until in met the spirit detectives.
As they headed to the exit of the mall Rei stopped at a jewelry stand. Hiei look over to see what caught the supposedly sane teen's eye. She was staring a necklace. It was a dragon and tiger that formed a circle. In the middle was a beautiful blue sapphire.
"I want it," said Rei.
"Then get it," said Hiei.
"Do you think Koenma will notice?"
"Would you care?"
"No."
"Then it really doesn't matter what the answer is."
"You're right. Miss, I want this necklace!"
"Alright. That will be $1,225.25 please," said the clerk. Rei handed her the credit card with a big smile on her face. The lady scanned it and frowned. "Um ma'am, there's only one cent left on here." After a few seconds of silence Rei slammed her head on to the counter and cried. A fountain of tears came out of both eyes.
"NO! Now I can't buy the necklace!" bawled Rei. Hiei just stared at the girl's paused reaction.
"At least you did max it out," said Hiei. Rei stopped crying and shot up.
"You're right." Hiei face faulted.
'Mood swings much?'
"Lets go!" said Rei.
"I'll catch up," said Hiei.
"You sure I can't drive?" asked Rei for the fiftieth time.
"NO! You don't have a license!" yelled Hiei.
"I use to."
"Use to! That's the key word!"
"Fine, you don't have to yell." A few moments of silence went by when Rei reached to change to station.
"Don't touch it," warned Hiei.
"But, Nickel Back is coming on! Photograph!"
"I don't care. I like this music."
"But you can't understand what heavy metal bands are saying."
"I like it like that." Rei sighed and laid her head on the door. Of course she had to open the window first. They stopped at a red light when another car with it's top down pulled up beside them. Driving was some ugly guy with him buddies.
"Hey girl why do you look so sad?" called out the ugly on.
"My friend wont let me listen to Nickel Back!"
"Come over here and we can cheer you up!" said one of the ugly one's buds.
"Can we listen to Nickel Back?"
"Sure."
"Okay!" said Rei as she was about to open the door.
"No you don't!" yelled Hiei as he pulled her back in.
"Jealous?" she asked.
"No!"
"Then why can't I go?"
"Because you don't know them, you naive onna! Didn't your mom ever tell you not to go with strangers?" yelled Hiei. Rei's eyes sadden.
"Maybe." Hiei thought that meant yes and drove when the light turned green. Rei looked out the window and stared into the distance.
The fact was I didn't remember what mom ever told me. I didn't want to remember. I didn't want to remember her voice…or her face. I just made it easier to forget. I would learn that forgetting is not the right thing to do. It's hard to forget a thing like that but it's harder to remember...
"Now I see why you didn't want to eat here," said Hiei looking at the kitchen. It was covered in flour and eggs. "I don't know if I want to know, but what happen?"
"I was making pancakes the old fashion way when I tripped and flour and eggs went everywhere," she said.
"That can't make this big of a mess."
"I tried cleaning it up but it just made it worst. Of course that was probably because the cloth was coved in flour." Hiei stared at her like she was an idiot, which she was.
"Then why didn't you clean the cloth?"
"I got distracted. The mall was about to open so I had to find you."
"Sure I was the cause of the messy kitchen. It was all my fault," Hiei said sarcastically.
"Okay."
"I was being sarcastic!"
"That's not what the tape says," said Rei as she pulled out her handy dandy tape recorder.
"You little bitch!"
"Yup! So what's there for dinner?"
"Take out."
"Okay." So they ordered take out and then went to bed.
Tuesday:
Boom!
"What the hell did you put in there!" yelled Hiei. See, Rei was making breakfast for some strange reason and decided to blow up the kitchen.
"I'm not sure. I was just putting in random ingredients from around the kitchen," said Rei looking at the ingredients. "Ah here's the problem! I put baking powered, vinegar, and gun powder in the pot!"
"WHAT IS GUN POWDER DOING IN THE KITCHEN?" yelled Hiei.
"HOW SHOULD I KNOW?"
"YOU'RE THE ONE THAT HAS THE GUNS!"
"Oh yeah I put it in here by mistake." Hiei face faulted.
'I'm going to kill her!' thought Hiei.
"Take out?"
"Yeah," sighed Hiei.
"You lied to me!" said Ki-Ki who was helping paint Rei's walls purple in her room.
"What do you mean?" asked Rei who was currently painting a tiger in gold paint.
"You said there was going to be flames!"
"I changed my mind. Hey your getting really good at concentrating on an idem and using it."
"Don't change the subject. But yes I am getting good." There was a knock on the door and Ki-Ki disappeared having the paint roller fall into the paint holder thingy. Hiei came in not even bothering to get an answer.
"Will you turn the music down!" yelled Hiei. Rei had been blaring the music so loud Hiei could here from outside in the forest...what was left of it anyway.
"What?" yelled Rei even though she could hear him. Hiei went over to the stereo and turned it off. He looked up at Rei's tiger.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Painting a tiger. I going to paint a dragon on that wall over there but I'm afraid that it won't look good. I suck at dragons. Do you know anyone who can paint good dragons?"
"I can."
"Really? Prove it!" Hiei motioned her to follow him. Rei hopped down from the ladder she was on and followed. Hiei opened his bedroom door. Rei peaked in a saw a blood red dragon painted on the four black walls. "COOL! You did this?"
"Yes."
"Do my room! Do my room!"
"Why should I? You tried to kill me, blackmailed me, dragged me to the mall, blew up the breakfast, and…"
"And?"
"You'll do something eventually."
"Please!" Rei gave him some puppy dog eyes.
"Get rid of the tapes."
"The one form earlier today?"
"And the one from yesterday."
"Fine!" said Rei. She reached into her pocket and gave Hiei the tapes. Hiei burned the tapes in his hands. "Why'd you do that?"
"So you can't steal it back!"
"Wow, that's really good!" said Rei looking at the silver dragon on her wall.
"Hn," said Hiei sitting on the ladder.
"Needs one more thing," said Rei getting up on the ladder. She took the red paint and painted the dragon's eye. "There! Now sign your name."
"Why?"
"Because all artist sign their names!" She was getting off the ladder when she tripped and fell into the paint. She stood up to show her butt covered in silver and gold with a hint of black and red. "Well at least these are paint pants! Good thing I didn't fall in the purple paint still, need that."
"You are a klutz," Hiei said.
"Hey if you-" Rei stopped when she realized she flung paint at Hiei's face. "Ah… sorry Hiei!" She tried not to laugh but failed. Hiei jumped off the ladder and took a handful of paint and glared at Rei. "Hiei, no! Bad Hiei! Let's talk this over, okay?" Hiei shook his head and threw the paint at Rei. It hit her in the face. "Oh now it's on!" So they got into a big paint war. The walls were occasionally hit with silver or gold paint.
"I like it," said Rei. She was laying on the ground and Hiei was sitting on it with one knee close to his chest and his arm around it. They had finished the painting. They hand put black flames under the tiger and dragon. The other two walls they left what ever hit it droning their paint war, which Hiei won. Paint had gotten in Rei's hair and she freaked out. "Hey Hiei?"
"Hn."
"You know your the white part of your hair is gold now."
"Great."
"So who takes a shower first?"
"You can."
"Okay!" Rei got a change of clothes and skipped to the shower. Hiei got up and went over to the dragon. He picked up a small paintbrush and signed his name.
"What has she done?" Hiei asked himself. He walked off the light and left the bedroom.
"HIEI!" Rei yelled as she ran down stairs in a tank top and sweats. Hiei, who was on the couch watching TV, looked over him shoulder.
"What?" he asked.
"It won't come off! I'm a silver, gold, red, black, purple martial artist! If my enemies me their going to laugh!" she cried.
"Join the club," said Hiei. Hiei had decided to use the down stairs bathroom to wash up and he to had colorful skin.
"Your hair's still gold," pointed Rei.
"I know."
"Hey, I got an idea!" shouted Rei as she raced upstairs.
"Great. I'm going to die." Rei soon raced back down.
"Close your eyes!" said Rei.
"No."
"Don't you trust me?"
"No."
"Hiei doesn't trust me!" cried Rei. Her face turned from sad to psycho in a second and put a gun to his head. "Do it."
"Okay!" Hiei closed his eyes and felt Rei doing something to his hair.
"There, all done! You can look now!" Hiei opened his eyes and looked in the mirror. She had taken a bleach pen and colored the gold white again.
"You bleached it?" Hiei said staring at the mirror.
"Yeah! Smart, huh?"
"Hn."
"So Botan's coming back tomorrow right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Don't you think we should clean up?"
"We? You did all of this."
"Yes but I have black mail. So the me turns to a we," said Rei taking out a new tape.
"I took your tapes! You don't have black mail!"
"You should give me a little more credit, Hiei. I made copies."
"How many?"
"My secret."
"Then I say we leave it like this."
"Good enough for me. Night Hiei!"
"Night onna."
"You painted the flames!" Ki-Ki said happily.
"Just for you, Ki-Ki!"
"Stop calling me Ki-Ki!"
"No."
"Fine, I'll tell Hiei you like him!"
"What? I don't! Plus that will expose you!"
"I'll just take over your body."
"Fine…Kyoto."
