Hiei was sitting in his tree waititng for Kurama to get out of school. The day had been long and he needed to talk with Kurama about something that had been on his mind a while. Hiei had never had a chance to tell Kurama privately and they hadn't seen each other in a few weeks.
So with a few hours left of Kurama's school Hiei pulled himself into his tree and layed down. Some branches were scratching his back so he took off his cloak and put it behind him. He then put his hands over his chest.
Some branches of the tree were covering his face and others were letting the sun beat down on him. Without a care in the world except the question he had to ask Kurama, Hiei drifted to sleep.
Hiei awoke to the sound of his named being called from below. He sat up and all his muscles ached. He looked down only to find Kurama under his tree looking up at him.
Hiei took his cloak from under him and was about to put it on but it hurt to move.
He shrugged it off thinking nothing was wrong and he jumped down from the tree cloak in hand. As soon as he landed Kurama couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so funny?" Hiei asked glaring at Kurama.
"Hiei you are all red," Kurama said.
Kurama bit his thumb to stop from laughing.
"Hn," Hiei muttered.
"Don't your shoulders hurt?" Kurama asked.
Now that he mentioned it he did notice they hurt a little bit more than usual. He looked down to fine his shoulders and arms a piercing redish pink.
