Authors note: Hi hi~ its Kuma-chan here! Hope you like the story, it is …poetically/ romantically written? (Sheepish smile~) Lots of people (my friends…) don't like this style, (sigh) but I do and I hope you will too! (Or at least give it a chance, which I would be very grateful for if you do!) Smile! =)

Important note: Kurama and Hiei are not a couple (yet) hehe~ and this is quite a large apartment in comparison to normal Japanese standards.

The first thing Kurama noticed, as he entered his apartment, where Yusuke's dirty tennis shoes placed at the front of the entrance. His mind reeled for a second, he was trying to remember if he invited Yusuke and completely forgot about it. He hadn't seen Yusuke in a bit over a week and they hadn't spoken on the phone since than so he decided he didn't actually send out an invitation for the boy to come; but he didn't mind that Yusuke showed up unexpected, that was just the style of the young half demon.

He figured Hiei must have called him though, finally able to return to the nigenki after two months loyally serving under Mukuro till she deemed it okay for Hiei to return home. Kurama half wished Hiei hadn't called Yusuke, today of all days, just when he returned after so long; but Hiei thought Kurama was going to be working till late, just like always, and he probably didn't want to be alone so he called on Yusuke.

Kurama had secretly returned home early, wanting to surprise the fire demon, but he realized now that maybe he should have given Hiei a heads up so Yusuke wouldn't be around and they could catch up. This was the longest Mukuro had kept Hiei away, and the first time since the two had started living together. Kurama really wanted to be just with Hiei tonight but he wouldn't kick out Yusuke, having no real reason to, other than his bruised pride.

Kurama took of his sleek leather shoes, he only wore to work, and placed them neatly next to Yusuke's beat up sneakers; which had obviously thrown on the floor from the way one was on its side and the other one was crooked, instead of facing straight forwards and together like Kuramas.

As Kurama entered farther into his home he didn't spot Hiei or Yusuke but he did spot the flowers on the table; he had bought them two days ago to lighten up the look of the still bare apartment. He immediately noticed that the tips of some of the roses were starting to get that light brown that happened only when a flower is starting to die. Probably nobody else would have noticed the beginnings of the light blemish staining the red flowers but Kurama, having nothing but pure undying love for all plants, immediately took note of the decay state his flowers were in.

He gently caressed the flowers that were the outside of the large bouquet. If one were to have a closer inspection they would take note that flowers seemed to lean into Kuramas light touch. He stroked the soft petals with his fingertips but somehow more petals wiggled their way into Kuramas palm, it was so they could also be embraced by him. He suddenly leaned close, over the cluster of red, and whispered sweet words on how beautiful they were. He stuck his face right into the middle of his lovely roses and his nostrils were immediately attacked by the sweet yet delicate perfume the flowers prided themselves on. He felt the way the shivered when he softly touched them and heard the cries and please for him to give more. As he straightened back up he noticed with pride that instead of drooping down, as they had been seconds ago, they were up and flourished; also, all traces of brown were gone leaving nothing but the bright, bright red that only Kurama's flowers seemed to have. It could not be denied that roses in stores are red and also release a nice fragrance, but compared to Kurama's roses they were a weak imitation of what a rose should truly be like. Kurama's roses could be compared to jewels. When the sun hit them they seemed to shine to life. They were like the rarest of rubies, they gave the hint that if you held them just right in the sunlight, they would open their sleeping eyes and smile with a radian blush on their cheeks. Though they looked priceless it was the velvet petals that won anyone, who held them, even for the briefest of seconds, over. Their petals could be compared to the finest of velvets or silk and it was oddly nice that if you held Kurama's roses you never got pricked by a thorn, unlike if you were holding a normal roses stem. If those weren't enough reasons to make anybody who saw Kuramas flowers fall in love with them and vouch never to buy the embarrassing inferior quality roses than surely their scent would triumph in capturing your heart. The flowers had a strong aroma; the bouquet released enough scent to spice any room, but it wasn't an overpowering smell, not like incense can be, it was a light taste of beauty.

Faintly smiling at his creation of perfection, Kurama hummed in approval. He moved back and realized he should find his friends. He moved further into the room, he briefly glanced into the kitchen and dinning room and still not seeing his guests he made his way over to where the bedrooms were. He stopped at Hiei's door where he heard noises appear from. He gave a light knock to be polite but his gesture went unnoticed. He opened the door a crack but before he could push it forward any further the sound he heard made him stop dead in his tracks. He pounding sound of flesh hitting flesh could be heard and moans violated his ears. He unconsciously took a step back and bit his lip, a habit he picked up while living in the nigenki. The was no trace of the smile that had adorned his face; in its place was the start of a marring look, perfected with a frown and a bruised bottom lip- thanks to the tight grip his teeth had when they latched onto the appendage. He sealed his eyes for a moment, trying to gather his scattered thoughts. He slowly opened them took a step forward so he was in front of he door again. He slowly lifted his hand and pressed it against the door till his palm was flat against the smooth brown surface. He calmly pushed the door forewords. As he was staring at the floor he could see how the door slide forward, inch by inch, it was like a machine, like a hands of a clock moving second by second, tick after tick. He slowly raised his eyes of the floor and laid them on the scene that was causing the noises that penetrated his ears.

At the first glance his face went stark white but as he continued to stare with his wide eyes growing in size by the second and unable to look away, a sudden fire seemed to capture him. It crawled up his neck and onto his cheeks and nose. The red faced viewer went unnoticed, even when he let out a broken gasp and run away from the two unknowing occupants of the other room.
