Anon: Here's chapter two! Domo arigatto, minna-san! You like it, you really like it! Still no luck finding muse number six, though. Oh well. In other news, I got stung by a yellow jacket(the bug, not a real jacket!) the other day and now I've got a huge rash that looks like a heart!O.O The love bug maybe? Yes, that must be it! And because I'm asexual and only attracted at most to fictional characters, it caused the heart-shaped rash instead of making me fall in love!
Mr. L: Do you even listen to what you're saying anymore?
Anon: Not really, no. Why, what did I say?
Mr. L: -sweatdrop-
Anon: Moving on, readers feel free to help yourself to the free roasted marshmellows, courtesy of OUR FIRST FLAMER! I invite you all to join me in a bout of pointing and laughing. Ready?-points and laughs, then dances in a circle and sings that one song from The Little Rascals- We got a flamer, we got a flamer, we got a flamer, hey hey hey hey!
Mr. L: Please ignore her people, I think the venom made it to her brain.
Dude: Either that or she got food poisoning from those crepes she was making the other day.
Anon: SHUT UP! I AM A GOOD COOK! -throws various objects and continues yelling.-
Mr.L: I thought you three were going to stay away from this fic!
Other, Other Dude: And miss out on torturing her? Not a chance!
While Mr. L and Fishy are trying to get her back under control, a mysterious floating black hooded cloak sneaks in, bringing a sleeve to where the mouth would be-
Sixth muse: Okay reader, I'll make a deal with you. If I start the fic, thus letting you get on with reading the chapter, you have to promise not to tell AnonGirl88 that I was here. I'm still having fun playing with her. Of course if you tell her anyway it doesn't really matter, all it means is that she'll go on a big rant and increase her efforts to find me, delaying any and all updates. Do we have an accord? Sweet. -sixth muse disappears-
Chapter two: Planning
-----------
"So he thought that the incense was an aphrodisiac and that you kissed him because you were under it's influence. In an attempt to save you from any embarrassment he went for a walk, after taking two showers, in hopes of confronting you so he could tell you what he believed to have happened. When he did find you and inform you of his theory, you corrected him by kissing him again, telling him of your attraction towards him, and finally asking him on a date this Saturday." Kurama summarised all that he'd just been told.
"Hn." Hiei nodded once in confirmation from his place at the fox's windowsill. The moon was now at it's peak in the night sky and it's cold glow streamed into the room of Kuramas human counter part.
"However when you requested said date, you were so enraptured by his presence that the fact that you know less than nothing about human courting rituals didn't enter your mind until later, at which point you came to me seeking advice."
"..." Hiei glared at the green eyed bishounen but said nothing that would confirm nor deny the statement.
"Well first things first, you'll need money. And that does not mean stolen money, I very much doubt you'd get anywhere with him if you start going against his honor code." Kurama shot him a look.
"You mean this?" Hiei produced a very large wad of money. "It was already stolen by someone who didn't look as though he was in desperate need of it. Besides, how does that ningen saying go? What he doesn't know won't hurt him. Although in real life that's an absolutley ridiculous phrase." he muttered the last sentence more to himself.
"You haven't even started dating him yet and already you're basing the relationship on a lie? What do you plan to do when he finds out?" Kurama asked, folding his arms and raising an eyebrow.
"..." Hiei looked away and stared at the wall. Kurama sighed wearily.
"He might not mind too much if you tell him it was already stolen and not badly needed if he asks, but I gurrantee he's not going to condone it multiple times, so you'll need to get a job."
"A job?" Hiei grimaced at the thought of working in the human world.
"Mm hmm. Common courtesy dictates that the one asking for the date is the one who pays, and I know you'll try and stay as in control as possible so if you decide to continue courting him he'll most likely expect a valid source of income. But we'll discuss job options later, right now you've got three days to decide how you want to go about this." With that, Kurama began to explain the ancient art of human dating.
The day was more or less uneventful for Kazuma Kuwabara, and to his credit he did an excellent job of staying relatively focused during his classes, considering his previous track record and the strange events of yesterday added together. He'd spent a good portion of the night going over it and over it in an attempt to figure it all out before going to sleep, afterwhich he had a very strange dream about purple clowns and giant spiders wearing sneakers that kept changing color like the horse from that Wizard of Oz movie.(1)
Kuwabara poked distractedly at the remaining contents of his bento box with his chopsticks, sitting beneath a large tree while staring at the sky picking out patterns in the scattered clouds.
'Kitten playing with yarn, spirit sword, demon, demon getting sliced by spirit sword, sleeping kitten, me defeating Urameshi, Hiei, another kitten playing with y-huh?' Kuwabara snapped out of his daydreaming with a quick hard shaking of his head, then looked up again to see Hiei standing in front of him, watching him. The spirit sword weilder yelped and jumped to his feet, then clutched his chest and panted while glaring at the spikey haired demon before him.
"Geeze Hiei, what are you trying to do? I almost jumped out of my skin!" he proclaimed, then quickly looked around to make sure no one had witnessed the scene. Luckily he'd chosen a quiet secluded area to eat lunch, so they were alone.
"You should pay better attention to your surroundings." Hiei told him, succeeding in his efforts to stop calling him names.
"For your information I was pretending to look like I wasn't paying attention so if anyone tried to jump me I could surprise 'em! I knew you were there the whole time, I just got caught up in my own act is all." Kuwabara sniffed. Hiei bit his tongue slightly to withhold the snide remark he longed to make. The boy was annoying, but his attempts to avoid admitting he'd been caught off guard were amusing enough for the fire demon to allow a very small smile to reach his lips.
"So, uh, what's up? Do we have a mission or something?(2)" Kuwabara asked.
"No. I was in the neighborhood and saw you sitting there staring at the sky with your eyes glazed over so I thought I'd better make sure that your brain was still in place." Hiei replied.
"Gee, thanks." the human said blandly, not sure how to take the fire demons statement. He then blinked and took a quick step back. "Hey, you're not gonna call me a damsel again, are you? Because I don't know if anyone's told you this, but a damsel's a girl.(3)"
Hiei smirked when the young man stepped back, recalling the last time he'd tried that with him. He decided to allow his soon-to-be-mate to expand the distance between them, letting him maintain his personal comfort zone. For the moment at least.
"Yes, I know what a damsel is, and if it really bothers you that badly I won't call you that again." the demon said, his amusement increasing as he watched Kuwabara sigh in visible relief.
"Well that's good, beca-mmff!" Hiei quickly pushed him back against the tree and gave him a quick kiss.
"But I'll take another kiss as reward for saving you again." he chuckled before dissappearing. Kuwabara blushed and sputtered in shock for a moment, then glared up into the tree even though he knew the small demon was long gone.
"Shizuru, Eikichi, I'm home!" Kuwabara called out as he stepped through the door, toeing off his shoes and placing them in their proper place as he closed the door again. A large tri-colored cat bounded into the room meowing. Kuwabara laughed and kneeled down to pick him up.
"Hey kitty! Did you miss me?" he asked. Eikichi purred loudly and rubbed his head against his masters face. "I missed you too! Where's Shizuru?" he asked, walking towards the kitchen holding his cat. Once there, he noticed a note stuck to the fridge with a homemade clay magnet shaped like a cat he'd made when he was little. Depositing Eikichi onto the floor, he went over and read the note.
"Kazuma,
Went out, don't wait up.
Shizuru"
Kuwabara rolled his eyes as he crumbled up the paper and threw it across the floor for his cat to play with, then opened the fridge in search of something to eat.
Hiei looked over the paper Kurama had given him; on it was a list of various activities humans usually did on a date. Luckily there wasn't anything too strange, and he'd witnessed the majority of them during his time in the human world, though he hadn't realised he'd been watching the beginning stages of human courtship rituals. The fox had also added a few suggestions, such as letting Kazuma deal with most of the human interactions such as ordering food or movie tickets.
Smart idea, really, because Hiei had no idea how such things worked and mimicking the actions of others could only go so far before leading to embarresment. He carefully folded the paper and put it into the pocket of his robe, then leaned back against the tree trunk, chuckling quietly to himself as he remembered the look on Kuwabara's face when he'd stolen another kiss earlier.
'You're all mine, Kazuma Kuwabara. I always get what I want.' he thought as he settled for a short nap.

Anon: Wheee! Another chapter done! I'm so proud of myself, everyone stayed MOSTLY in character! Please review and let me know what you thought, I really do appreciate hearing what you thought. If you must critique, do so politley and constructivly so I can improve, don't just mindlessly flame. Sorry it was so short though!
(1): Two sepperate dreams I had when I was a kid blended into one, completly random and meaningless so don't think to much on it. If you haven't already figured out that I'm insane, there's your proof.
(2):SLIGHT AU warning needed here, the boys are no longer OFFICIAL Spirit Detectives, but they still take odd jobs here and there for Koenma to uphold the peace and all that. Oh, guess I should probably mention that the time line is shortly after the end of the series, so Kuwabara and Kurama are in college, Yusuke works for Keiko's parents in the shop. Kuwabara lives with Shizuru for financial reasons. As for their parents... I have no idea, I'm mixing anime with manga but I've only gotten to volume 5 so I don't know if it ever shows their parents. For simplicities sake, they died several years ago in an accident.
(3): Means a young, unmarried woman to be precise.
