This is my first cross over I'd love C&C but please don't flame
me for it too bad ok? Well then let's get it on!
"I am sure this one will be to your liking ma'am." The woman smiled at the bright and cheerful girl beside her. "It is a little small but is close to the campus, has a lot of windows and is very light. It has it's own kitchen and bathroom and two bedrooms, the second one it very small but maybe an office or. . ."
"A play room." Anja smiled running a hand over her abdomen.
The woman smiled back, "Hai that too. When are you due?"
"I'm not sure, I just found out I was pregnant." She looked up at the woman who had been so helpful to her, "How did you know?"
She smiled, "I am a mother of six, you get a sense about these things."
Anja nodded.
"Where is it's father? Shouldn't he be helping you?"
She sighed sadly, her lips trembling, "He passed away recently."
"Oh you poor dear! Well we'll get you set up nice, ok?" They finally reached the loft apartment and the woman opened the door.
Anja gasped. It was so bright! More windows than walls! A dancer must have lived there before because mirrors lined one wall of the main bedroom and a ballet bar was stuck to them. The whole place was light, unpainted wood, and Anja fell in love the moment she saw it. Gossamer curtains flowed out from the windows caught by the early breeze and the whole place smelled of spring. "Oh!"
"Isn't it lovely?" The woman smiled. "It's in a good district too, the reason it's so cheap is the neighbors."
"What's wrong with them?"
"They are a. . . Male couple." The woman frowned, "And rather
eccentric
with it too. There is also a Wiccan and her room mates, a pagan, and
a couple who
keep cat's. Lots of cats. They seem to wander in and out of every apartment
here. It might not be the ideal place for a baby but. . ."
Anja smiled, "no problem, it's the perfect kind of place for My baby."
"Well then come and I'll show you the rest of it."
All of the rooms were just as light and airy as the main room
and Anja turned
to the woman with a smile and set her duffles down. "You've sold yourself
an
apartment." She nodded.
The woman smiled and gave her a card, "My name is Mari-Ann, if you need any help or advice just call me ok?" She smiled.
"Thank you."
When Anja went back to the house Mr. Hatanaka answered the door
with a
growl, "I told you to never come back here slut."
"I needed to talk to Shuu-chan and to give you this." She tossed
the money to
him.
"What is this?"
"I'm paying you for my room and board since the first year ended
and
Shuuichi came home. I don't want to owe you a thing and I'm sorry you
didn't tell
me that you wanted me out sooner."
"Anja?!" Kurama ran passed his surprised father, "Anja where have
you
been?!"
"I got an apartment." She smiled, "It's wonderful Shuu-chan! I
wanted to
know if you would help me shop for stuff for it."
"How. . .?"
"Those gems I had, they were really rare stones, worth near nothing in Makai and a small fortune here. I still have most of them, but I sold enough To the local museum to get the house and furnish it and live comfy for a while."
"Anja that's great! Let's go then."
She nodded. "Don't tell the guys I want to surprise them ok?"
"Hai."
"No son of mine will hang out with that whore." His tousan exclaimed.
Kurama grinned and flipped his hair at the man, "Then it's a good
thing I'm
Shori's son and not yours." Then they left the stunned man behind.
Hiei dropped out of a tree before them and asked, "Where are you
going
fox?"
Anja and Kurama grinned and Kurama picked Hiei up and placed him
on
fire starter in front of him. "Shopping!" The yelled like a battle
cry and the koorime
had to cover his sensitive ears. He growled at the two baka ningen
but silently purred as he leaned back against his Koi for the ride ahead.
The mall was packed and Kurama and his sister went through it
like a
hurricane, or two teenage girls (which was what most people thought
they were),
dragging poor Hiei along with them. The pair of them went into
one of the
clothing stores and Hiei cringed at the automatic doors. No matter
how many times
they assured him, the fire Youkai would never get used to the ningen
devices.
Anja picked up a tiny pair of grey/black jeans and Kurama laughed
and
nodded. Hiei was about to tell them that those would never fit Anja,
when she held
them up to him! "No!" He jumped back.
They both pouted and Hiei sighed, He couldn't even refuse one
of them, let
alone both! "Fine." He growled deep in his throat and snatched the
jeans from
Anja. He ended up wearing them out along with a new long sleeved black
turtle
neck. Anja and Kurama both bought identical outfits and then led him
to a counter
full of those eye covers Anja wore when she drove. Sun glasses, he
remembered, they
were called sun glasses. Anja put a pair on him and he cried, snatching
them off.
"What?" Anja asked worried.
"They shut off the light."
She and Kurama burst out laughing and the store clerk looked at
them oddly.
"That's what they are made for Hiei!" Anja laughed. "To keep the sun
out of your
eyes."
He looked at her menacingly but put the glasses back on.
"Kawii Hiei-niisan!" Anja laughed and Hiei glared at her.
"Now what?"
Anja scrunched up her face in thought. "I need furniture."
On their way to the furniture store the passed a Baskin robins
ice cream shop.
"Sweet snow!" Anja cried grabbing Kurama's arm, knowing that Hiei would
want
some but would never ask.
Kurama sighed and took them over. Hiei grinned at Anja as a kind
of thank
you. "What do you want Hiei?" She asked.
"Chocolate." He pointed at the sign and Anja had to hug him, "Kawii!"
He frowned and shoved her back gently, "I am older than you Imouto,
don't
treat me like a child."
"But you're so kawii!"
The server and Kurama looked down at the two of them with smiles
on their
faces.
"I want vanilla." Anja smiled. "In a sugar cone."
Hiei realized they had an audience and stopped squirming.
"I'll have cherry mocha swirl." Kurama smiled and Anja gave him
some
money. When he started to protest she shook her head, "I've got it
now remember? It's burning a hole in my pocket!"
They sat at a back booth while they finished their treat and Kurama
stared
longingly at Hiei until the Koorime growled, "What?"
"Just wishing I was that ice cream." He sighed watching the little
tongue slip
over the cool treat.
Anja snickered as Hiei started to deliberately tease Kurama, swirling
his
tongue around the treat and looking coyly over the ice cream at his
lover. Kurama
took a few deep breath and wondered vaguely why he hadn't gotten pants
one size
larger.
The koorime pulled a little of the treat into his lips and out
again and
Kurama had to use his handkerchief to squelch the blood the flowed
from his nose.
"I. . . I'll be right back." He coughed and ran into the bathroom.
When he was gone Anja fell back laughing, "Hiei! I. . . I can't
believe you did
that!"
"Hn, kitsune no baka." He smiled affectionately at the door Kurama
had
disappeared into.
Anja grinned at her brother when he came back. And he looked at
the two
sheepishly. "Are you done?" He asked.
"Hai." Anja laughed, "How's your nose?"
He blushed. "Where are we going now?"
Anja thought for a moment, "I need to get furniture and some cloth.
. . I'd
like to get some art supplies and sheet music. . ."
Kurama smiled, "Let's do furniture first."
"Ok!" Anja smiled and hugged him.
After picking out a papa-san couch and chairs, a woven chair shaped
like an
egg that hung from the ceiling like a swing, a nice, round stand set,
and a beautiful
set of oval/egg shaped shelves, Kurama was very curious and even Hiei
wondered what she would pick out next. They were really getting into it.
"Hn, this is. . . interesting." Hiei commented.
Anja's smile broadened, "Cool!" She looked at the circular coffee
table which
had drawers that swung out, the top drawer of the three was made to
display what
you put in it through the glass top And the bottom drawers were hidden
so they
looked like just another part of the table. They all locked shut. "I
love it!" Anja nodded and choose that too.
Kurama grinned at the two people most important in his life as
they shopped.
He had never seen Hiei so animated and alive. Anja and he were now
looking at a
round lidded hope chest with a secret compartment in the lid and covered
in
drawers and other interesting nooks. Anja was almost hopping with excitement
and
she bought it.
"Hn, you need a bed." Hiei said walking toward them.
"Hai!" Anja giggled, "A good and sturdy one."
Kurama almost choked and she grinned back at him.
After looking around a while Anja sighed, Hiei was as resigned
as she was,
Kurama wanted to laugh again.
"Nothing." Hiei frowned.
Anja looked grinned and held up a double wide hammock.
Kurama did laugh then.
Luckily the men at the store said they would deliver the furniture that night, they even offered to pick up the Chibiera and his house on their way to her new apartment.
Anja smiled and nodded to them with a happy thank you.
"They never delivered before." Kurama frowned.
Anja grinned, "You just don't have the chest for asking." Anja
smiled impishly and displayed her ample bosom.
They finished up at the fabric store and Anja steered them out of the mall.
"Where are we going now?" Kurama asked.
"Home." Anja smiled, "I can't wait for you to see it! And tomorrow
we can go
around to some second hand shops and get whatever little touches it
still needs.
When they arrived, Shori was just walking up the steps.
"Kaasan?"
"Shuu-chan! Hiei! I didn't know you were going to be here."
"What do you mean?"
"I thought Anja might need dinner so I brought some, but don't
worry, I
think I made enough."
"Arigato kaasan, the movers will be here in a little bit and you
can see what
we've found." Anja led them up to the loft and took out the key, "It
came with all I
need in the kitchen, a fridge, freezer, microwave, table and there's
a cabinet in the
bathroom. I got it really cheep because of the eccentric neighbors.
"Ha." Kurama laughed, "You'll fit right in."
Anja glared playfully at him over her sunglasses. As she pushed
the door
open.
Shori gasped, "It's perfect for you!" She smiled.
Kurama nodded, "You found a good one Anja."
Hiei nodded and walked into the bed room. They all heard a crashing
sound
and ran in to find Hiei laying in a pit in the far corner of the room,
the wooden
cover that went over it was knocked out of place. "Hn! Found your bed."
He
mumbled from the cushion below.
They just starred a moment before they burst out laughing.
Hiei grunted and climbed out with the steps cut into the side.
Anja peeked down into it. "Cool!" She smiled. "It's hidden to
make the room
bigger for dancing space!"
"Huh?"
Anja pointed to the mirrors and balance bar, "A dancer lived here.
She put
this in this way to give herself more room to dance." The American
went back to
the door to the bedroom and pointed to the three steps that led into
the room,
"That's why these are here. She put a new floor in and just closed
a part of it off like
a little nest!" She jumped down into the bed and smiled, "Two words
Kurama!"
She grinned.
"Love nest?" He guessed.
She giggled, "No! Feather Comforters!"
Hiei snickered and the fox turned red.
Shori called from the kitchen, "Food's ready."
When the men came with the furniture, Shori hugged Anja and left.
Anja
showed them where she wanted the pieces then thanked them and gave
them each a
tip. Hiei smiled and nodded. "It looks good."
"It looks like something you'd design." Kurama smiled. "Do you
want me to
get the others?"
She smiled and nodded. "You can take FireStarter." She tossed him the keys.
When Kurama came back with everyone the house was quiet, "Anja?"
He crept into the bedroom and a choked laugh caught in his throat.
"What?" Yuusuke peaked around his shoulder and a similar sound
came
from his lips.
Everyone crowded to see what was so amusing.
"Kawii!" Quatre smiled.
They found Anja and Hiei curled up together, in matching outfits,
sitting sideways on the hammock they had hung in the corner, fast asleep.
They looked like a pair of beatnik angels. Kuwabara hurried to Anja's bag
and found her camera.
When the flash went off both Hiei and Anja jumped, the hammock
swung
and dumped them both out backwards onto the floor. "Omae. . .O . .
. Korosu."
They both yelled and chased the carrot toped boy around the apartment.
The rest of them just laughed. Even Heero this time. It was a
good start.
~Owari~
