Chapter 3

Hiei, unable to move out of the way in time, closed his eyes and waited for the impact

Hiei, unable to move out of the way in time, closed his eyes and waited for the impact. But it didn't come. He looked up to see T.S. floating in midair above him. "T.K. LET ME DOWN RIGHT NOW OR I'LL GO PANTHER ON YOU!"

"No! You are not going to crush my dog!" The keys flew from Hiei's mouth into T.K.'s hand. "Now take a deep breath and calm down." Hiei took the opportunity and ran next to Kurama. "Now are you going to try to kill my dog again?"

"Only if he takes my keys again. Now let me down!" yelled T.S.

"Okay."

T.S. fell flat on the floor with a thud. "Hey!"

"You told me to let you down, so I did. You never said you wanted a soft landing"

"Baka."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Want to get food? We have to go on patrol in an hour."

"Yeah, sounds good." They walked into the kitchen, leaving Hiei and Kurama alone.

'What the hell was that about?' asked Hiei.

'It appears that these girls are not just average teenagers.'

'Well obliviously. Are they psychics?'

'They seem to be, but one had the scent of a demon.'

'A new case for the Spirit Detective?'

'Maybe. Looks like we'll be staying here for a while after all.' Hiei nodded in agreement.

T.K. came back out of the kitchen with a chicken leg. "T.S., you're such a good cook. This chicken is great."

"If you think complementing me will make me forget that you dropped me on my face, you have another thing coming." said T.S. from the kitchen. Both girls laughed. T.K. sat down on the couch and Hiei jumped onto her lap. He took the chicken off her plate and ran back to Kurama and began to eat it.

"Hey, that's mine! That's your food!" T.K. pointed to the corner of the room where there were two bowls of dog food. Hiei snorted.

'There's no way I'm eating that.'

'Hiei, we must conform to the traditional roles of dogs while we're here.'

'Then you eat that stuff.'

"T.S., is there anymore chicken?"

"Why?" asked T.S. as she walked into the room.

"Because mine just got swiped."

"Ha ha, that's what you get. Do you know what you're going to call the little monster?"

"I don't know. Let's try a few names. How about Princess?" Hiei looked up and glared. "Maybe Lulu?" Hiei continued to glare. "Fifi? Buttercup?" Hiei began to growl. "Pinky? Rosy? Snickums? Snukums? Duchess? Queeny?" Hiei was now growling fiercely.

"Okay, my turn," said T.S. "I'll name my dog Rocky. Do you like that boy?" Kurama barked and cuddled next to T.S. "See T.K. Give your dog a boy's name, it's not that hard."

"Okay, okay. I will," said T.K.

It's about time, thought Hiei.

"What about Bandit?"

'Hiei don't fight it.'

'Fine I'll keep it, but I'm not going to rub myself on her.'

'It's a natural thing for dogs to do Hiei,' stated Kurama.

'Don't get attached Kurama. They still might be after Yusuke.'

'Of course.'

"T.K., are you ready to go on patrol yet?"

"No way, T.S. They're too cute! Can't you do it on your own this time?"

"Sure. Hey, why don't I go and do all the work and kick butt, while you stay here and play with the puppies?"

"T.S., you're a genius, I couldn't agree with you more." T.S. left the apartment muttering bad things under her breath. Kurama looked at Hiei.

'Hiei, do you think we, or I, should follow her?'

'If you can get past this baka "watching" us.'

'You'd would like that, wouldn't you Hiei?'

'What the hell are you talking about?'

'Never mind. I'm going to try and follow her.'

"T.S., it looks like your dog wants to go with you."

T.S. appeared back in the doorway. "T.K., are you nuts? We can't take dogs on patrol. They might link the dogs back to us."

"Okay, okay. They got food and water; I guess they'll be fine for a couple of hours." T.K. picked up Hiei and rubbed his belly as he bit her hand. "Now mommy's got to go out for a while, but you be a good little baby, you hear?"

'I'll kill this baka,' said Hiei.

'Now, now, Hiei, if you kill her then you can't date her.'

'What!? Have you lost your mind?' Kurama sat there and laughed.

"Okay, T.S. lets go." T.S. gave Kurama one last pat on the head then she and T.K. left the apartment, closing the door behind them.

'Finally, they leave,' said Hiei.

'They won't be gone long, I'm sure. We should use this time to investigate the apartment,' said Kurama. They separated and began to look around the apartment.

Kurama yelled to Hiei from the other room, 'You know for teenage girls they're very tidy.'

Hiei's only response was, 'Hn.' But even as he said it he started to get a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach. Then suddenly he started to dig through the trash, nudge everything out of the cabinets, and tear all the clothes, blankets, towels he could get his paws on.

Kurama was lying on T.S. bed. I hope I get to sleep here tonight. It smells just like her. He walked out into the living room and saw the mess Hiei was making. 'What is wrong with you? Do you want to go back to the pound?'

'I can't help it. Something's wrong with me. I just have to destroy everything until she gets back.'

'Until who gets back? T.K.?'

'Yes.'

'Why do you have to destroy everything until she gets back?'

'I told you. I don't know!'

'Is it because you like her?'

'WHAT?!' Hiei froze in his tracks. 'No! Of course not! I-I-I just think their house is too clean. That's all.' With that Hiei began to tear at the couch.

'Well I admit T.S. is an interesting girl, but I'm not going to destroy her home.'

Finally exhausted Hiei sat down in the living room, panting. 'Someone better explain to me why I just did that.'

'I think you just miss your human. Dogs are know to destroy their houses when their owners leave and they get lonely. Still think 'their house is too clean"?'

'Hn.'

'You know she may not want to keep you now.' Hiei ignored him and looked out the window.
