.A/N: You guys have been so patient with me. I know it�s been weeks since you�ve gotten an update from me, but with so much going on�papers, tests, homework, all-nighters, my best friend having her baby, and job hunting�I�m just beat. Come summer I�ll hopefully have more time for this story. It�s pretty much figured out through to the end in my mind now, so hang in there. We�re getting close ~_^

.Chapter 15: Night Out?

You pry yourself free from Hiei�s possessive grip, and slip off to the bathroom. Your ears twitch backwards as you hear him shift, and you say a silent prayer that he doesn�t wake up. Ever since your visit from Rai, you�ve not had a single night�s sleep without your fire demon wrapped around you. You could feel him hovering everywhere, even when he couldn�t be seen, and this new overprotective streak is certainly starting to give you the creeps. Not that you don�t enjoy actually having his attention for once, but it�s not like Hiei.

You�d grown accustomed to his distance, you realize as you wash your hands and splash lukewarm water on your face. And now that he, at least away from the eyes of others, seemed to want to be around you, you have no idea what to do with him. And doesn�t he know it! His eyes burn dull fire, impatience, irritation, and most of all a sort of restlessness that you feel a slight echo of within yourself. You�ve been cooped up in this place for going on your second full month. One more turn of the moon, and you�d have a littler of beautiful pups to turn your life even more topsy-turvy.

�Bring it on,� you think, grinning at your reflection.

You lean against the doorframe as you re-enter your room, taking a moment to let your eyes slide across Hiei�s lithe form. His form goes suddenly tense, and the air snaps as he is suddenly wide awake. He grunts, and without lifting his head says, "Come back to bed, or close the door." Translated this means, close the door and come back to bed. Not two options, one. You rubbed a hand over your belly and smiled, closing the door quietly behind you.

Hiei held up the covers without a word, and pulled you close to him once more. His heat was like a solid thing at your back, close and comforting. You�d never tell him that of course, and if you hadn�t been so tired you might have had something to say about his not-so-discrete-order. But tonight you�ll just allow for the overbearing attitude, because tomorrow you�d have the last laugh.

Yes that�s right, tomorrow night Kurama, your partner in crime it seems, was going to help smuggle you out and take you to a club! You�ve never been to a club, but the whole things sounds super exciting, and best of all, it will ease your mind a little for some time away from the temple. You haven�t been more than a mile outside the grounds since your shopping spree with Kurama.

With the big day fast approaching, you can�t imagine being able to go out like this much longer. And with "Big Brother"* suddenly attached to you at the hip, it can only get worse from here on. Well�worse in the sense that you still have no idea what to make of it. You snuggle closer to Hiei�s warmth, letting it wrap around you and seep into you. As your eyelids grow heavy you yawn, and the air smells, for just a moment, not like two scents but one.

Yours and his mingled.

*~*~*~*

Yusuke stomps into the kitchen looking more agitated than usual. His eyes fall on you, at the sink helping Genkai prepare dinner, and he hops right over. "Hey, _________, you seen Hiei around?"

"Not since this morning," you answer honestly. "But I suspect he�s in the forest training."

"Alright," Yusuke mutters, and stomps his way back out of the kitchen. Several moments later you hear the doors to the back open and slam shut.

Genkai shakes her head. "Dimwit."

You chuckle to yourself, and let silence settle around the two of you for a while longer. "Genakai, have you ever been to a club?"

She snorts and nods her head. "A long time ago."

"What do you wear to one?"

"Going out with Kurama tonight, huh?"

You nod.

"I�d say let him help you. He�ll probably be here after dinner."

"What the hell? HIEI!" Yusuke shouts from outside. You and Genkai share a look before going to investigate.

"Ask that idiot friend of yours, or the fox. I�m not going," Hiei sneers, starting towards the temple for what seemed like the fiftieth time. His muscles were all tensed in irritation, and his eyes slitted with barely suppressed anger.

"Koenma said he wanted me and you on the case. So stop acting like a loser and come on!" When Hiei didn�t respond, Yusuke aimed his spirit gun.

"I�m too fast for your pathetic spirit gun," Hiei jeered.

"Again you mean?" Yusuke said, looking more than a little snug.

A muscle jumped in Hiei�s jaw. "Don�t push your luck, Yusuke."

But as you�d come to realize, Yusuke always pushed his luck. "You just don�t want to leave your �little woman� right?" Yusuke snorted laughter at Hiei�s expense while both you and Genkai shook your heads.

The boys weren�t seriously engaged, so it didn�t take long, and Hiei finally consented to do �the stupid baby�s bidding� as he called it. "Don�t think I won�t kill you one day," Hiei spits as one final blow, before slipping into the house. He stops when he sees you and Genkai, watching with patient curiosity. He looks like he might want to say something to you, but after a moment shakes his head and flits too fast for you to see down the hall.

Yusuke enters a moment later. "Such a testy little guy."

You chuckle, and shake your head. "Tell me about it."

*~*~*~*

Hiei and Yusuke leave on their mission shortly before dinner, leaving you and Genaki to dine alone. The meal is a silent one, and it only serves to help build the steady jittering of your stomach. What is it about going to the club that�s got you so nervous? It�s not like things with Kurama are weird, that was all cleared up, and you�ve been itching to get out since your romp through the woods with the wolf pack.

It still gave you strength when you walked outside and could catch their scent on the wind.

"Good evening," Kurama cooed from the doorway, splintering the apprehension within you as a shiver over your skin.

"Hi Kurama," you reply, heaving yourself to your feet and gripping him up in a hug.

"Are you ready to go?" You shake your head a little too emphatically, and Kurama chuckles. "What seems to be the trouble?"

"I don�t know what to wear," you explain, feeling the color splash across your cheeks. It seems like such a trifling matter when you say it aloud. But the rich earthy green of his eyes shimmers with unvoiced laughter, not mockery, and it puts you at ease.

"Come," he says gently, placing the tips of his fingers against the small of your back to guide you towards your room. "Let�s find something perfect."

Boy does he ever!

The outfit is perfect. The dress is simple and rich dark blue, curving with your belly in a way you find most flattering to your current state. The shoulders are pinched together with little silver ties that match the amazing color of your hair, and gold bangles (care of Genkai to your surprise) bring out the color of your eyes. Kurama guarantees that where you�re going, yellow is a perfectly acceptable color for eyes. You protests the heels, telling Kurama there�s no way you�ll be able to dance in them.

"It okay," he says, "You won�t wear them more than five steps past the door anyhow."

Trusting his word, you shove him out long enough to fix your hair. �It�s so plain,� you think, �So straight and blah. It won�t hold a curl for anything.� But as you look around you spy something interesting. It�s a long gold clip with lightly engraved flames, gold on gold so it was hard to tell unless you were looking. Taking out a brush you pulled the top half of your hair back until it was perfect, and clipped it, letting the rest hang. �Just right,� you think, and step out in the hallway to let Genkai and Kurama have one last look at you.

They both nod and smile with the very controlled air you�ve grown accustomed to from the both of them, but at that moment they look so similar, this petite old woman, and handsome young man, that you can�t help but giggle.

"You too," you snicker, and neither of them get it.

Zing! � She looks so nice tonight. Genkai.

Zing! � her hair�that barrette�I wonder. Kurama.

Your head begins to spin, but you don�t know how to shut it off.

Zing! � I hope she�s careful tonight

Zing! � gods I hope I can keep her safe tonight

"_____(your name)! Are you alright?" Kurama is suddenly at your side, where you�ve slumped against the wall. This is the first time you�ve ever experienced two separate person�s thoughts at once, and it certainly was enough to steal the breath from your lungs, and speed up the pace of your heart.

"I�m fine," you say, proudly squishing all breathy-weakness sounds from your voice.

Kurama looks skeptical, and you can almost hear the question even before he asks it. "Are you sure about tonight?" You give him the look that simply says if you have to stay another night in this place you�ll go crazy. "Alright," he sighs, but he smells like hot peppers and lemon�anxiety.

As the two of you slip outside into the night, you feel a queasy sort of flutter in your stomach, and unbidden the thought crawls into your head. �Should I have told Hiei?� You dismiss it as hormones, and so much time around him lately. If he�d been your mate, you�d have told him. Or rather, you wouldn�t have had to. Mates can always sense the other, no matter where they are.

"Are you alright?" Kurama asks again.

"Of course," you lie.

*~*~*~*

.A/N: I know this wasn�t the most eventful chapter, but I hit three pages at 2:30 this morning, and just died. Next chapter should be much more fun! ~_^ I hope to get it out in maybe two weeks.

.*Big Brother: this is a pop culture reference to the novel 1984 If you haven�t read it, you should. You�ll probably read it for some class eventually anyhow. The sooner you become aquatinted with this story, the more and more references to it in other thing�s you�ll see.
