WARNING: Mention of rape, Hiei angst, over use of the word 'the'.
Kurama was packing his things into an old comfortable looking brown leather suitcase. Hiei watched him silently, every now and again commenting on something of sentimental value that Kurama had decided to take along. Hiei had nothing of the sort, save the teargem. "What's that?" Hiei inquired as Kurama placed a small square of cloth into his bag, before zipping it up carefully. "There!" He said, standing up and dusting his hands off before placing them on his hips. "All done...Hiei?" Hiei was rocking back and forth gently on Kurama's window sill. "Hn?" Kurama classified that as a 'what' hn, and continued with his honest question.
"Hiei?"
"I said Hn."
"Why do you always sit outside or near a window?"
"I don't want your human mother to come in and see me."
"I told you that she was gone for the weekend, as is the rest of my family. They're in the mountains. I said that I wasn't feeling well so I could stay and go to see Koenma with you."
"Hn."
Are you going to answer me?"
"..."
"Hello?"
"...!"
"Hiei?"
".....!!!"
"Answer me!"
"IT LETS ME FEEL LIKE I HAVE A WAY OUT OK?"
"What?" Kurama was stunned. He hadn't really expected an outburst from Hiei, unless it was a physically violent one. And Kurama expected everything. "I've been holding that in for a very long time now..." Hiei whispered, staring at the floor. "Hiei, what do you mean?" Kurama asked gently. Hiei, to Kurama's great surprise, hopped onto Kurama's bed, then shut the window behind him, as if it was your average door. "I just...don't like to be alone with other...males in a closed space." Kurama cocked his head to one side. "You've never minded before." Hiei chuckled sardonically. "Says who?" Kurama hadn't yet the time to put two and two together to understand what exactly Hiei meant. "Why only other males, Hiei?" Kurama inquired.(A/N: God he's dense...jk Kurama fans *hides under bed* pweeze don't kill me!) "You really don't know do you?" Kurama sat down on his bed beside the little youkai and shook his head 'no'.
"Do you remember who raised me as a child, Kurama? Those thieves." Kurama nodded. He recalled Hiei talking about this briefly before. "Well, they...they..." Hiei's eyes were watering now, with soon to be teargems. "They...?" Kurama repeated slowly, coaxing Hiei on. Hiei shook his head. "It's a long story, Kurama." Kurama nodded "But you need to tell some one, Hiei. If something hurts you bad enough to make you cry, then you can't keep it inside." Hiei looked up at Kurama defiantly "I can too!" the taller boy smiled sadly. "But you shouldn't, Hiei."
Hiei looked down at the floor. He was crying, his small frame wracked with silent sobs. Kurama guessed that Hiei had been keeping whatever it was inside for a very long time. "Rape. They raped me, Kurama." Kurama's eyes went wide, then narrowed. //Those BASTARDS!!// His fists clenched. //I'll kill them, their families, their friends!// Unusually violent thoughts flooded Kurama's mind when he realized that Hiei was tugging at his sleeve. Kurama looked down at the shorter demon and smiled. He didn't want to scare Hiei. //That's all he needs now..// "I'm so sorry Hiei...why didn't you tell me?" Hiei refused to meet Kurama's eyes. "I...just...thought that you would think that I'm weak..." Kurama gently grasped Hiei's chin and moved his face so their eyes could meet. "Hiei, I will never think that you're weak. You've held this in for way too long, and not just anyone could do that. It is never your fault if someone else hurts you, Hiei." Kurama pulled his hand away and continued to make eye contact with Hiei.
It had been taken only a few minutes for Hiei to fall asleep in Kurama's bed after their heart to heart talk. Kurama had asked Hiei to stay with him and skip the visit to Koenma. //Hiei's had a horrible life...and he's finally reached his breakdown point. How do I help him from here? Oh Hiei, how will I get you out of this one?// Kurama had been in numerous scrapes with Hiei before, and they had always bailed each other out some how. But this time, Kurama realized, it was personal.
Ok, Ok. I know it was short, but bear with me. So what should I do?!!?!? Should I make it shounen-ai? Yaoi? Argh! Should I continue it at all?!?!?!? Ack, I don't know what to do, and neither does Kurama....It's all you, Reviewers!! Help us out??? PLEEEEEASSSE!?!?!!?
^_^ Thankies!!
