Hiei was walking tp Kurama's house when he noticed that the light in his room was off. That was something that held Hiei's interest. He walked over to his window and climbed up on the sill and tapped lightly on the window itself. There was no answer from within. Hiei searched the room and house for any sign of Kurama and found none. He wasn't even home. So Hiei decided to see if Mrs. Minamino knew where he was. So he walked around the house to the front door where he knocked on it. The door opened and in it stood Mrs. Minamino but she looked like she had been crying.
She said, "Oh hello Hiei. What can I do for you?"
Hiei said, "Hello Mrs. Minamino I was looking for Shuuichi actually. Do you know where he is?"
Hiei thought Why did she just stifle that sob? Did something happen to Kurama?
She turned away from the door and when she came back she held a small white envelope. She handed it to him and then looked at him.
She said, "Shuuichi left this for you."
Hiei took the envelope and said, "Do you know where he went?"
She said, "No all he left was a letter saying that he had to leave and that I was to give you this envelope when you came. I am sorry Hiei but I must get back to bed."
Hiei said, "Do not worry alright Mrs. Minamino I will find Shuuichi and bring him home if I can?"
She said, "Thank you Hiei."
Then she shut the door and Hiei was left alone with an Envelope. On the envelope scribed in green ink, which was Kurama's own ink. He made it from his own plants so that it was personal, was his name.
Hiei
Hiei took the envelope and left for the most quiet spot in the whole city. The park because one it was Kurama's favorite spot and it was a nice place to sit and think. Hiei jumped up into a tree near a lamp post and turned the envelope over in his hands. He slowly opened it only to reveal a letter and three red rose petals. He took out the letter and placed the envelope in his shirt. He unfolded the letter and read,
Hiei,
I am sorry for what I am about to say to you. I have to leave. I can not say where I am going because I know you will only follow me and look for me. I can not allow you to do that. Just know that I am fine where I am at the moment. I want you to know something and its hard for me to even write let alone say to you.
You, Hiei, are my best friend. The only person who made me feel wanted among a bunch of humans. I also wanted you to know I love you. I love you like my friend. My brother, and my lover Hiei. I will be back as soon as I can. I will leave messages for you in our usual spots alright.
Love,
Youko Kurama.
Hiei closed the letter and looked up at the full moon and thought Kurama how could you leave and not even tell me where you are going? Why would you do this to me? I know you would only do this if you really did love me so I know that what you said is true.
Hiei said to the wind, "I love you too Kurama and I will wait for you to return to me."
Kurama wasn't that far away and heard what Hiei had said he felt his heart clench at that for he knew where he was going he would never return to be with him. He turned away from Hiei and started walking away from him. Kurama looked back as a single tear fell from his emerald eyes and slid down his cheek. He thought Good bye Hiei. I will miss you.
