" From wherever I want... "
[ Okay so obviously the easiest answer to give you is... he steals them. But the honest answer is that I haven't really thought a lot about this. Because, sure, he steals his clothes. That makes sense, because when the fuck does someone who's former job title was "thief" ever pay for anything?
[ The problem is... his pants. Hiei loses his shirt for so many reasons, but mostly those reasons are his own damn fault. He burns his own clothes, and has to replace them. Except for those damn pants.
[ Due to the magic of shonen anime, Hiei never loses his pants the same way he loses his shirts/wards/bindings/etc. So they have to be made out of some Inuyasha grade bullshit right? (Inuyasha's kimono is both fire and cut resistant, for anyone who doesn't know.)
[ Now, it's not as if humans don't have fabrics with these properties. Wool is surprisingly fire-resistant, and there's a reason that Chinese silk was worn under armor as an extra protective layer against knives and arrows. So it's likely that Hiei's pants are made from some demon-fantasy equivalent of a silk-wool blend. Which... is probably the nicest thing he owns (if they're clean, which is asking a lot).
