I've seen him before, but where? Those red eyes, the black hair, the dragon wrapping around his right arm. It seems all too familiar... Where have I seen him before? Where?
I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock going off. It's saturday. Unfortunately, I forget to turn it off before I sleep Friday night. My head spins from all the dreams I've been having. The strange dream of a man or a boy. All I see is him; he doesn't smile or talk or make any morion. He stands there and stares back at me as if he's waiting for me. I shake my head, clearing my thoughts. Kurama, you're stressing yourself out. Just relax and think about your day today, I think to myself. I change my clothes, getting ready to meet Koenma in town for breakfast. He and I have been together for a while, and honestly I think it's going great.
Mother has left for her job and so has Father. My step brother joins his friends for their Saturday drive around the neighborhoods. I leave the house, stuffing my hands in my pocket as I walk. The early spring winds blow calmly around, swinging the branches of the trees. Koenma says to meet him in the café near the square. For all I know, there's only one café within a mile from where I live.
I walk around, hardly anyone awake. The café isn't too far from the neighborhoods. I open the door seeing Koenma waving at me. I smile and sit across from him. "Morning Kurama." He greets.
"Good morning. You're in good spirits today." I place my hand on top of his. His skin is warm and delicate like a rose petal. "Was there something you needed to talk about?"
Koenma sits back and sighs. "Kurama, listen. We've been going out for about six months now. And don't get me wrong, they were the best six months of my life, but my dad wants me back home. He doesn't want me here anymore. You know I can't say no to my father right?"
"Koenma-" I try to think of something to say, but he cuts me off.
"Don't think it doesn't hurt me, it does." He continues on. "I'm sorry Kurama, but I don't think we can continue this relationship anymore."
My heart slowly sinks and rips and breaks. "I see." is all I can say. I hold back my tears and smile through the pain in my chest. "I hope you can find someone who will be able to take care of you." He stands up and I stand with him. I feel his lips touch mine and then the chimes by the door ringing. "Good bye, Koenma." I finally let the tears out, not caring if people saw me.
All day long, I sit on a swing in the park where he and I usually go after a meal. The town seems so innocence and peaceful, but in truth, it is filled with pain. The sun starts to set, coloring the sky pink, orange, and red. I wish he would've been here to share this beautiful sight with me.
"You seem so alone. Why is that?" A voice speaks. I turn around. My eyes widen at the sight of the person behind me. It is him. His black spiky hair, the black cloak with a white scarf, black shoes, and red eyes. He walks over and sits on the swing next to me, looking out at the horizon. "Are you going to answer or sit there looking stupid?"
I force myself to answer. "I- I'm fine. My boyfriend just broke up with me. That's all that happened."
He smiles and stares down. "You humans are pathetic. Don't you get that emotions are for those who want to die an early age? You learn to live by yourself."
"It seems you're the one that's alone. You sound like you run away from everything good. Now tell me, why is that? Is it something personal?" I almost want to laugh, but I hold it in.
He glares at me and stands up. "Listen to me you brat, you decided to take a chance with that good for nothing loser and this is the price you pay! So stop sulking and move on you piece of crap. No one's going to take you seriously if you cry day and night about a man who you think you love but in reality, you don't."
I gape at him in shock. "Umm okay. How do you know I don't love him for real?"
His glare doesn't subside. "You idiot, it's written all over you face. And I'm sure its written all over your heart." He begins to walk away back to the town.
"Wait! Thank you sir!" I call after him.
He stops and turns around. "Hiei. I'm Hiei."
