"Speech"
BEHIND THOSE EYES YOU HIDE
By: JozYyh
CHAPTER 1:
I WANT ANSWERS
A dark, clad figure crept through Yusuke's window and landed gracefully on the floor. The assailant kept his movements skillfully silent, careful not to wake the sleeping Urameshi.
--------------
Yusuke cracked open one brown eye, secretly hiding his awareness of his midnight visitor. Yusuke's chest heaved with deep and even intakes of breath, letting the intruder believe he was still asleep.
-Who has the guts and audacity to sneak in and try and kill me in my sleep! This guy's stupidity is about to earn a free ticket to the Spirit World-
Oh, yes he was going to blow him through the bedroom wall and right into Botan's lap! Yusuke was determined to keep the element of surprise and suppressed the nagging smile. He couldn't wait to see the look on the goon's face when he turned the tables on him.
--------------
The interloper examined the boy lying in bed, noticing he had all symptoms of a deep sleep. He also conveniently detected a subtle smirk.
-A good dream Yusuke?-
Thinking his presence was unknown, the assailant walked closer to Yusuke's bedside.
-An ideal moment to attack, they were point blank-
Yusuke shot out of the sheets with his rei-gan pointed directly at the assassin standing next to his rumpled bed. His pointer finger pulsated with an intense blue aura, illuminating the room. He looked to see the look of fear and astonishment plastered on his intruder's face, but to his surprise it was . . .
"What the hell Hiei!"
He snatched his hand back, afraid he would pull the trigger. Yusuke let out an exasperated sigh and watched as the orb's power minimized and dissipated into the air. He slumped back into the ruffled sheets and rubbed his head in annoyance. He glanced over at the digital clock placed on his side table and exhaled again.
-What is that loner like Hiei doing here? It was four in the morning for god's sake! If anything he would most likely go to Kurama's doorstep-
Hiei was unphased by the sprit gun's ability to blow his head clean off and stood nonchalantly. He could care less about Yusuke's threats.
"Urameshi, where has Kurama gone?" It was curt and to the point.
Yusuke arched and eyebrow, this was odd. Hiei was trying to keep up his usual impassive attitude intact, but there was no denying the underlying concern hidden somewhere.
"Next time maybe I should just fire at you." Yusuke scoffed as he crossed his arms.
Hiei gave him I'd-like-to-see-you-try snort and replied arrogantly, "You should be grateful that I help keep your skills adequate."
"Slipping through my window isn't exactly how I'd go about it!" Yusuke bellowed in anger.
Hiei looked to the other side of the room. Something was bothering him, and his mind was too troubled to pay any attention to pointless arguments.
"Quit your whining." Hiei commanded.
"You little bastard! First you show up in the middle of the night, and then you insult me. Geez, some friend you are."
Hiei was tying hold in his temper, but some of it was leaking out into his voice.
"Enough games! I need to know where he is!" Hiei spat.
Yusuke muttered curses under his breath and then reluctantly decided to cooperate. It was the only way he was going to get the infuriated demon out of his room and go back to sleep. Yusuke yawned and rubbed his eyes, the very thought of sleep was enough to make him drowsy.
"This is about Kurama right?"
"Yes."
"And that he's disappeared?"
"Correct."
"That's weird I thought he was with you."
Hiei suddenly turned defensive.
"Why would you assume that?"
"You two are usually paired together that's why! Now shut up and let me think!"
That sparked some reaction from Hiei. He growled and tapped his foot resentfully from all the waiting.
Yusuke rubbed his temples trying to remember. It took him a few minutes, but he found some information that was worth sharing.
"Well, a few days ago he left looking for you. I figured when he didn't come back he found you."
Amazingly Hiei retained his frustration and calmed his tone.
"So he has been missing for a few days." Hiei's voice trailed off into the evening nights' air. His worst qualms were becoming real and it made him uneasy to think about it.
-He's always acts weird when Kurama's involved. Could he . . . no couldn't be.-
Yusuke watched as Hiei turned his back to him and walked a few paces to stand near the open window.
"Where did he go?"
A pensive pause later and Yusuke answered, "I think he said something about going to Makai."
Hearing that, in a blink of an eye, Hiei was gone.
Yusuke poked his head out through the window and shouted, "You're welcome, you stubborn ass demon!"
His voice echoed far off into the distance, waking a few grumbling neighbors. His uproar was loud enough to wake the whole town. Knowing that Hiei probably couldn't hear him he shut the window and plopped back into bed. Before he drifted back to sleep, Yusuke thought about Hiei's inner feelings. Hiei was always closed off and didn't bestow anyone unworthy of his acknowledgement a second glance. But he seemed to give his friends more leeway.
Especially Kurama.
Even though Hiei claimed not to have any attachments to anyone, he definitely didn't hide it well when it came to the red-haired half demon. Hiei did care about the few people he could call 'friend', but he let Kurama touch deeper inside him. Hiei would reveal more of his true feelings to the red-head.
Yusuke smiled to himself, coming to a conclusion.
-Hiei has feelings for Kurama, plain and simple.-
Yusuke pulled the sheets up to his head and took one last look at the window before snuggling back into the cozy bed.
Shutting his eyes he quietly whispered, "I hope you find him."
If he didn't have anymore interruptions he may get some sleep tonight.
Hiei sat perched on a tree branch high above the forest floor, staring down at the grass bed below. He'd been searching for pointless hours over every inch of Makai and still found nothing! He was sure he turned over every possible rock for Kurama to be hiding under, but still came out empty-handed.
-Where the hell could the fox have gone!-
Hiei let out a tense sigh.
He didn't even find a trace of Kurama's trademark rosy scent. He wanted greatly to breathe in the floral perfume, his nose always tingling from it.
Hiei's destructive thinking always led to disappointment and uncertainty to rein his mind.
Why would the fox just get up and leave to find him?
Why was it now that Kurama wanted him so?
Why would he mask his ki?
Was this just a cover-up for a bigger plan?
Was the fox's story he told Yusuke only a diversion from his real intension?
He just couldn't figure it out.
One thought still rang clear in his mind and it tore him apart.
If he would have just stayed by Kurama's side, none of this would have happened. If anything were to happen to his fox he was going to blame himself. It was his fault after all; the long-term disappearances Hiei took always complicated things. Whatever Kurama's intensions were, they could have been avoided. Hiei knew that all too well.
He put a hand to his throbbing head in a futile attempt to cease all the guilt and worry. He knew it was of no use, he couldn't get Kurama out of his head.
Wait . . .
A flash of something skimmed across his senses.
He didn't want to believe it at first. There where just too many times he was shot down by failure, too many instances where a clue guided him to a dead end. It just couldn't be Kurama.
But wait . . .
It came again.
A familiar presence was near. It was very faint, a mere whisper on the outskirts of his mind. It felt so reassuring, so similar to the comforting warmth he knew from a certain redhead. He had to follow it, before it was gone again.
I don't know when I'll be able to have another installment. Thx for Reading and I hope you took the time to review.
