Warnings: Came up with this from watching an AMV and wondered, 'Wow, poor Hiei. Wonder how he actually felt during that scene.'
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, though I damn well wish I owned Kuronue, Youko, Kurama, and Hiei.
Kurama:…A fic promoting Hiei?
Kuronue: And insulting me?
Youko: What has the world come to?
…
-Hiei-
I should've stopped him from going alone. I'm much faster than Kurama, it wouldn't have been that difficult to beat him to that elevator he used. But, I think I knew that Kurama had to face this alone.
The partnership between Youko Kurama and Kuronue had been legendary. Fighting him was something that only Kurama could do. While the others all shouted and worried aloud, I kept my worry inside. It would do Kurama better to not hear me worry. The idiots always shout their worries aloud. If I voiced my concerns…Well, then someone might think the world is ending.
I stood above the pit where Kurama faced Kuronue at, watching as best I could. It was difficult, considering the fogs and mists, but I kept a feel on Kurama's energy. I know that Kuronue is a dangerous demon; he'd have to be for Youko to have taken him on as a partner.
"Dammit…Can't do anything to help him with all this damn fog." I look up as Kuwabara speaks and roll my eyes.
"This is his problem." I say, and they all turn to me in shock and horror. "He has to deal with it all on his own." They continue to stare at me, even as I myself feel horrified. Kurama was already injured…I could not be sure that he would survive the fight.
Though I must say…I am more worried about after the fight. Kurama is powerful, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him, but the emotional toll…Kuronue was Youko Kurama's partner, and Youko often weighs heavily on Kurama's mind. Kurama once told me that Youko tends to revert to a period of mourning for at least a week if something reminds him of Kuronue. For them to be faced with Kuronue, who is claiming that Youko left him for dead, there is a chance that Youko cannot bear to live after defeating Kuronue. That is my worry. I worry that Kurama will end his life after ending Kuronue's.
When the bamboo forest arose, I jumped down. Walking up on him, I can not help but comment. "So even someone as calm as you occasionally gets angry. That's…good to know." Before he can explain his feelings to me further, I turn, beginning to walk away. He will not end his own life, that is clear. He cares for me, and for his human mother. And that the Kuronue I met was an imposter, he feels relieved, not having that blame upon him. I feel better about this now.
A/N: Hmm…I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I think I imagined it differently, but ShinigamixGirl wanted it, so I wrote it. I might re-write it, after I get a better feel of writing in Hiei's point-of-view again. Anyway, R&R, please!
