Roses Are Black...

The sun shined on his fiery red locks. A pair of emerald eyes opened, blinking and wincing at the morning light. Kurama checked the calendar and the clock, six forty.
Time passed so fast, it was the first of February already, the month of love. And in two weeks would be Valentine's Day... Cards and chocolates and hearts would invade his room. Might as well live for it.
Kurama stood up groggily; he walked to his bathroom to get ready for school. Eventually, he came out, brushing his rich blood-red hair. Putting down the brush, Kurama noticed something he didn't see earlier, probably because he was still half-asleep.
On his wooden desk was a single blood red rose. Its petals alone were gleaming so beautifully... And sitting next to it was a card bought from a store. On the cover was a heart, and the words 'Happy Valentine's Day'.
Kurama approached the items cautiously, it might be a joke for all he knew, and he wouldn't be surprised if it was. He held the rose gently between his slender fingers; the thorns were cut off. Kurama opened the card and read softly:
Maybe roses are red, or violets are blue,
(They can be purple you know),
Or sugar is sweet - it can be wrong,
But what I know is simply true, I know
That you are a precious gift, and that I love you.
Kurama glanced at the Valentine's Card, at the bottom was a simple message, in misspelled printing, he read quickly:
I no this is a bit early, but don't be surprised, dear koi, if I come to get you.
Shutting the card, baffled, Kurama placed the rose in a vase full of water and hustled out of the room. He said quickly, "I am not hungry," and a sweet, "Sayonara Okaasan" before he left for Meiow High. And the kitsune was gone.

The school bell rung and Kurama, as quickly as possible, left the building with his briefcase swinging beside him. But he wasn't swift enough. Immediately, a girl clutched to his arm with a goofy grin. It was the brunette Mai Ishaboda.
"Konnichiwa Minamino-san!" she exclaimed, still with the goofy grin. "How was your day?" Mai asked, trying to sound innocent.
Kurama flashed her a smile, "Fine, arigatou, Ishaboda-san. And how was yours?"
Mai pouted. "Nothing much, although I'm pretty sure my parents won't be too proud of my spelling mark. Got a sixty-three." She shrugged. "But who cares, they know I'm bad at spelling." Kurama nodded and excused himself as they finally got off the school grounds. "Okay then, Minamino- san! See you tomorrow!" And Mai left with many girls glaring at her with jealousy in their eyes.
Kurama arrived home with the house empty. Okaasan my must be out with Hatanaka-san again, he thought with happiness. Shiori must be truly happy now with a man in her life. He walked into the kitchen for a quick snack, the school lunch wasn't that good today.
Soon, the youko headed for his room. He changed out of his school uniform and into some comfortable clothing. Folding his pink uniform neatly, Kurama picked up his backpack and took out his Biology textbook. He placed on his desk when he spotted something on it.
It was a torn piece of paper with a few written words on it. The words were in the same handwriting and were misspelled again. Kurama was about to pick it up when something jumped into the bedroom from the window. It was Hiei.
"Konnichiwa, Hiei."
"Hn." Hiei glanced around the room and spotted the torn paper sitting on the desk. "What's that?" he asked curiously.
"Nothing, nothing..." Kurama said, grinning happily. He could have sworn he saw hurt in the Jaganshi's eyes (the normal two) for a moment, but the thought didn't last long.
Hiei just replied, "Hn. Just making sure you weren't dead." And before the kitsune could reply, the youkai was gone. The window was still opened and the air breezed in.
Kurama glanced at the torn paper from earlier:
I'm cuming, my bloodi rose...
