I Need You, Hiei

Chapter 1: How He Makes Me Feel

On a mild, sunny spring day in the Ningenkai, Kurama was walking to the park enjoying the warm weather.

'The warm weather sure feels good.' Sure he liked the winter season, but he preferred spring better. But he also wished that a certain fire demon was here with him. Ever since that night four months ago and the incident in the ice world, he hasn't heard from or seen Hiei. Kurama stopped in his tracks and reached for the scarlet tear gem and held it in his hands. The kitsune had the gem hung from a silver chain around his neck. Emerald eyes gazed at the treasure for moments that felt like hours. He loved the way it glistened in the sunlight.

Kurama was so caught up in his thoughts about his koorime; he didn't here a voice call his name. "Hey Kurama, what's up!"

The crimson haired youko looked behind him to see who was calling him. Running up the street were Yusuke and Kuwabara heading towards him with grins on their faces.

"Oh hello, Yusuke, Kuwabara." Kurama said as the two teens caught up with him. "how have you two been?

"I was going to ask you the same question, Kurama." the detective informed.

"I'm doing fine; it feels good to be back on my feet."

"Well we've been doing alright. But ever since that incident in the Makai, school's been a total drag. Not to mention I had to put up with Keiko's nagging about my absence." Yusuke told his comrade rubbing the back of his head with hand.

"Same here, with the whole school being a drag thing." Kuwabara added. Kurama laughed a little at the two teens because he forgot how much they detested school.

Then Kuwabara noticed a small red gem hooked on a silver chain around the youko's neck. "Hey Kurama, where did ya get the cool necklace?" the red headed teen asked.

"Oh…umm" Kurama gave a slight blush over his face at the question.

Yusuke leaned in to get a closer look at the necklace. "I know I've seen something like that gem before, but I can't put my finger on it." Then the black haired teen noticed a sad look in Kurama's eyes.

"I never thought I would ask this, but has anyone heard from the shrimp lately?" Kuwabara asked his friends.

"No, I'm kinda startin' to worry about the guy. I haven't heard from him since the incident." the detective answered.

Yusuke noticed the emerald eyed fox walk away. "Hey Kurama, where are ya goin'!" the detective called.

Kurama stopped in his tracks and turned to his comrades with a fake smile. "I'm just going to the park is all; I need some time to myself. I'll see you around my friends." the kitsune answered as he turned around and continued to walk away.

"Kurama, are you sure you're okay man!" Kuwabara asked. The emerald eyed kitsune didn't answer the teen; he just kept walking.

"I wonder what's wrong with him, dude; he's been looking down lately." Yusuke informed Kuwabara.

"C'mon Urameshi, you worry too much; he's probably still shaken up from that charade in the ice world." the red headed teen informed. "Now we promised Keiko we'd help with the inventory at her parents' restaurant; so let's go." Kuwabara said as he began walking to their destination Yusuke followed after him still worried about the human youko.

When Kurama arrived at the park, he found his favorite spot under the old tree and relaxed there. The spring breeze that rustled through the green leaves soothed him. Sitting up against the tree trunk, the kitsune's emerald orbs gazed up at the rustling leaves. As he did, he began to wonder about how empty his heart felt without Hiei. The koorime has always been by his side and was a great friend and ally. The youko missed the way Hiei would talk to him about anything and how he would laugh to himself whenever the koorime would say "Hn" all the time. But the one thing he loved about Hiei was those scarlet red eyes that would pierce right into his soul whenever he gazed into them. How he'd wish to look into those piercing red eyes and hold the little demon in his arms. In that instant, Kurama was reminded of that night when he kissed Hiei's firm yet soft lips. It may have been four months, but he could still taste them.

"Oh my Hiei, I'd wish you would come back; I really miss you." the kitsune said to himself.

At that moment, Kurama sensed a familiar aura around him. It felt like his koorime was watching him from above. When he looked up in the tree, he saw a blur that vanished into thin air. "Could that have been…?" Kurama got the feeling that Hiei was here watching him the entire time.

The crimson haired fox reached for the gem hanging around his neck. Emerald eyes gazed at the shimmering jewel in his hand. "I'm not going to lose hope. Wherever you are my koorime, I will wait for you." Kurama whispered as he got up from his shaded spot under the tree and headed home.
