Fanfic day!
I've decided that once a month, I'm going to post a one-shot fic. No set time, but for now, I'll post April's today!
A duel between demons
Fic:Solaris Moon (credit my otouto for the idea)

It was another normal day at Sanctuary*. Well, as normal as can be when you have two fox demons and a jaganshi living under the same roof. For a change, the house was silent, aside from a mysterious shuffling sound.
Solaris was in the living room, curled up in her 'basket chair', a horror novel in hand. It was a perfect day to curl up inside, reading, what with Hiei gone to lunch with Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara, and Foxglove out shopping. "Kami-sama in Tengoku, girl..." she murmured, speaking as if the character in the story could hear her.
The footsteps behind her grew closer and closer... She knew there was no escape. She had long since quit running in favor of trying to find her way out of the house. All was dark and quiet on the street until suddenly, a scream rang out!
"AIEEEEE!" Solaris dropped her book, gasping for air, a fearful look on her face. A few seconds later, she looked to see the TV on and Hiei on the couch, looking bored. "What the hells are you doing here?! I thought you were out at lunch!" she yelled.
"I was. But the baka was annoying, and I left. I doubt that anyone wanted to see a dying fool."
"Hm..." Solaris nodded, understanding. "But still... I WAS READING A HORROR NOVEL!"
"Gah! Shut up, girl! You could wake the dead!" Hiei said, moving away from the ticked foxgirl.
"Maybe I wanna!"
"Maybe I don't want to see zombies! And how the hell was I supposed to know you were reading a horror novel?!"
"The TITLE might have clued you in! The creepy house on the FRONT COVER might have clued you in!" Solaris shrieked.
"Oh, that does it..." Hiei scowled as he drew his katana. "You are a dead fox!"
"Bring it on, million eyes!" Solaris smiled as she pulled her katana off the shelf behind her. The pair began to fight, heedless of the funrniture of the living room , shattering vases, shredding the couch, knocking over the shelves, and somehow missing the TV.
It looked like Hiei was winning. He had succeeded in pushing her back into the kitchen, where the clatter would have alarmed the neighbors if they had heard. Luckily for Solaris, her nearest neighbor was across the street and out shopping, so they wouldn't hear anything. Suddenly Solaris turned the fight around and drove Hiei out to the sunporch, then to the backyard, where nothing else could get shattered. "Funny how you act so tough, but a girl can beat you!" she crowed, katana flashing in the sun.
"I don't get beaten! And not by little fox demons!" Hiei scowled, and redoubled his attack.
Kurama closed the gate of Sanctuary behind him, sighing in relief. Lunch was finally over and he could come to a quiet, peaceful home. Hiei had left not even five minutes after the beginning of lunch, but Kurama had told him if he felt like killing anyone to leave. It couldn't be helped. Kurama entered the house to see the living room a wreck.
"What on..." he began, shocked. Had an earthquake happened there? He went into the kitchen to see another mess, and the sunporch a shambles. "Was there a robbery here or a tornado?" he wondered to himself. Then he heard the katana clashes. "No, just a pair of hot-headed demons..." he sighed.
Hiei had gone full jaganshi, and Solaris was in trouble. she could figure when he was going to try the jagan bind things, and she wasn't about to let that happen. Soon she'd be so tired she wouldn't be able to stand. Better get ready to make like that American Custer dude... she thought and stood, katana at the ready for one last attack.
"Tired? Poor fox. It'll all be over soo..."
"HIEI! SOLARIS! WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!" Kurama's voice rang out. The pair turned and saw the furious redhead, who had been watching the past five minutes of their fight, including Hiei going full jaganshi.
"Uh, sparring?" the pair tried. Kurama shook his head, scowled, and walked out into the yard to the two.
"The living room is a demolition zone, the kitchen is a mess, and you've destroyed the sunporch! What have you got to say?!" he scolded. The two demons looked from the pissed-off yoh-ko in disguise to the other, then pointed to each other.
"It wasn't my fault!"
