Love for Hiei Part 11
By 3 in the afternoon the following day, we had used a portal to arrive at a port in Los Angeles, California to board our cruise ship. We successfully went through security and check-in, then began boarding the ship. She looked really pretty closeup. I thought so, at least. Hiei just wanted to "get the vacation started already". He got several looks from the people as we boarded the ship, but he pretended he didn't notice.
"These humans have a serious staring problem."
"Just ignore them, Hiei. They're not used to seeing someone with crimson eyes."
"Hn."
I smiled and shook my head as we headed for our cabin. It was on the Lido Deck, and it has its own private balcony, something even Hiei was impressed with. When we got to our cabin, our luggage was by the door. I opened the door with my key and smiled at what I saw. It had a queen-sized bed, good-sized closet, a TV, and a spacious bathroom with a shower. Just beyond the bed was the door to our private balcony.
"Wow. What a view."
"Hn. It's suitable."
"Hiei, can't you at least pretend to enjoy this vacation?"
"We could've gone anywhere, Mai. All I really care about is that you're with me."
I smiled as I embraced him.
"Hiei, that's so nice of you. I never would've guessed you were one to say stuff like this."
He smirked as he took my face in his hands.
"That's the thing about me, Mai. I've always got a few surprises up my sleeve."
"Oh, really? Besides this vacation, what other surprises do you have for me?"
"You'll see later."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek, and I giggled as I saw a slight blush appear on his face.
"Aw, poor Hiei. Been with me several months, yet blushes whenever I give him affection."
Hiei smirked at me and swiftly pinned me to the wall.
"Better watch what you say, Mai. I just might have to punish you for making fun of me."
"You don't scare me."
He smirked again before gently placing his lips on mine. Still making sure I was pinned to the wall, he tightly wrapped his arms around me. He ended the kiss after a few seconds, but it felt like it lasted longer than that. I smiled and placed my luggage on one side of the bed, making sure to place my room key in my pocket.
"Well, let's go look around."
"Hn, might as well since we're checked in."
Hiei then surprised me by taking my hand, a gesture I smiled at. He smiled a small smile back at me, and we headed out the door to enjoy our first night at sea.
Yukina's POV:
I sighed heavily as I approached Keiko, who was on the living room couch sipping lemonade that Kurama had prepared.
"Um, Keiko. Can I ask you something?"
"Oh, sure. Come sit down."
I sat beside her and smiled a small smile.
"Now, Yukina. What's the trouble?"
"I'm planning on...telling Kazuma how I feel, but I don't know how to say it. I've never done anything like this before."
"Well, I'd talk with him in private about it. You'll never get a real chance if there are too many interruptions or distractions."
"Okay, got it. Anything else?"
"Just be calm and relax, Yukina. We all know how Kuwabara feels about you, and I feel you telling him this will make him go through the roof. He's been waiting for this a long time."
Her words put me much at ease, and I stood up from the couch smiling. I accidentally bumped into Yusuke on the way up the stairs.
"Sorry, Yusuke. I'm just trying to find Kazuma."
"He's in his room. I think he's talking with his sister on his communicator."
"Okay, thank you."
I hurried up to Kazuma's room and knocked on the door.
"Quit bothering me, Urameshi. We'll train when I'm good and ready."
I giggled and knocked again.
"Kazuma, it's Yukina."
"Huh? Oh, sorry, my love. Hang on."
He opened the door and I walked in. Once the door was shut, I closely looked at him.
"Uh, Yukina. What's up? You look a little nervous."
"I am, Kazuma. I have something to tell you."
"Oh. What is it?"
I sat down on his bed and he sat beside me.
"I already talked about this with my brother before he and Mai left on their vacation. I wanted to ask you...if you felt like going out with me."
"You mean...like a date?"
"Yes. I've liked you for a while now, and I wanted to show how much I liked you by asking you out."
Kazuma's face lit up with a big smile, and I giggled as he punched a fist into the air.
"Alright! My Yukina finally likes me!"
"Kazuma, any place you'd like to go?"
"Uh, I don't know. Never thought you'd ask me to go out on a date. I'm just satisfied going on a picnic in the park."
"Kazuma, that's perfect."
I smiled as I looked at the happiness that showed on Kazuma's face. I'm just pleased with the fact my brother said I could ask him out, on the condition Kazuma never hurt me in any way. I can honestly say he's the happiest one out of the both of us, and I hoped we lasted a long time.
That's a wrap for part 11. Hiei and Mai begin their vacation aboard their cruise ship, and Hiei surprises her with a deep kiss upon their arrival to their cabin. Meanwhile, Yukina asks Kuwabara out on a date, much to his delight. Part 12 will feature Mai and Hiei relaxing in their cabin as the Golden Princess arrives in Hawaii after 4 days at sea. Also in part 12, Yukina and Kuwabara enjoy their first date by having a picnic in the same park in the Human World where Team Urameshi discovered Mai and Hiei's relationship. Stay tuned to see what happens
