Author's note: "Thinking of you" by Selena will be in this chapter quite a lot… And possibly other chapters. Think of it as… This story's theme song.

'Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you…'

The radio in Kurama's room had been playing as he sat at his desk, finishing up his homework. Hearing the beginning of the song had made him pause, placing his pen down at the book's side, turning to listen to it.

'And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too.'

'Bingo.' As Boton would say… this was beginning to sound how he felt right now… Soon the song would end, and Kurama would have to go back to his homework, humming the tune to the song in his head. As soon as his homework had been finished Kurama would walk from his room and out the door, it was time to get some air, and think about the events that happened through today.

"Well… I guess it could have been worse… No Youkai's -sp- attacked anything today…" That had forged a small chuckle from his lips then…

Sitting down on a bench, he'd rest his arms on the back of it, his head rising to look up at the full moon that was out tonight. Soon a shooting star would break from its idle mode and shoot off towards the horizon. They say you have to make a wish once you see one, so Kurama would smile.

I wish that Hiei would—He paused, seeing something black dart across the large, white moon… The figure had then begun to fall from the sky, and land gracefully at Kurama's feet. Well, speak of the devil; it was Hiei, holding his cold glare.

"Koenma reported some Youkai disturbance around here. I was going to go get that idiot Yusuke, but running into you makes this a lot easier." Hiei say, looking at Kurama before his eyes darted away, trying not to think about the drawing.

All Kurama did was nod, waiting for Hiei to take lead, so he could follow him. At the site that Hiei's Jagan -Sp- had sought out… The demons turned out to be low class ones, just causing trouble because they could. Well, a quick few slashes with a sword, and a whip and those demons were done for!

The last one to finish off the last demon was Hiei, turning just as his sword cut through the demons waist to look at Kurama with a sly grin. Soon the demon began to fall forward, Hiei not realizing it until it's dead carcass had landed on him, making his small form fall forward, knocking into Kurama and landing on top of him.

All Kurama could do was blush for a moment, before blinking. "Are you… alright?"

"I can't believe I didn't dodge that…" Would be Hiei's only response before realizing where he was, and quickly jumped up, standing on the top of the closest light post, letting Kurama stand on his own. He'd take one look at Kurama; turn his head away before just "Disappearing" from sight.

"Goodnight, Hiei…" Kurama would murmur, before turning his back to walk back home.

'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight'

Those words had flooded through Kurama's mind in his dreams… The images he saw were going right along with the words.

'Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me'

The image of him holding Hiei had ran through his mind, causing him to stir in his bed, rolling from side to side, murmuring Hiei's name softly.

Hiei stood outside Kurama's window, watching him toss and turn in his sleep. 'Why am I even here?' he thought, watching Kurama. 'I mean… I don't even like him like that…'

'Do I…?'

Wonder if you ever see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there

It was a Sunday afternoon… And Kurama was out with his mother for something or another… Hiei didn't care… But he didn't realize that he was lounging in the tree that was right besides Kurama's house, staying hidden in its branches as he rested. He had watched Kurama from his window all night, then the instant he awoke he had leapt into that tree and stayed there.

If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?

Hiei didn't know what was going on inside his head. After he found that damn drawing he had been acting strange… His heart would flutter inside his chest at different times; whenever he saw, or thought about Kurama… Or he decided to listen to that baby Koenma and take out those low class demons… Going out of his way to go by Kurama's house.

Would you even care?

Had it always been that obvious, Kurama's feelings? If they were, how come he couldn't see them? How come he couldn't see them in the mind of others? Did they even know?

For as long as he knew Kurama… he had been the closest one to him in the group. Sure, Yusuke was someone who could match his skills and provide for a good fight… But that was it That was the most that he'd let himself believe, anyways.. He knew Kurama inside and out… and Kurama knew the same about him…

'And he was always there…'

What the hell was he thinking?

Shaking his head, he'd sigh, standing and leaping from tree to tree until he found himself close to Genkai's temple… seeing Yusuke, Kuwabara, Yukina, and Keiko all goofing around and playing football, Well… Yusuke and Kuwabara were, Yukina and Keiko were watching, and making idle chitchat between each other.

He was just about to land next to where Keiko and Yukina, his sister, had been sitting when he saw the crimson haired Kurama walk into sight, everyone smiling and waving to him, making Hiei take a step back.

"Heya Kurama!" Yusuke had shouted, grinning like he always did. "Looks like we've got a full house, here!"

"Not exactly, Yusuke!" Keiko had shouted, standing and making her way over to everyone, Yukina following.

"Yes, that short, black haired boy isn't here…" Yukina would say softly.

"Well, I'm glad he's not here!" Kuwabara would nod, crossing his arms over his chest, Kurama's look being a solemn one, now.

"You're such a fool…" Hiei had "Appeared" right next to Kuwabara, smirking before his eyes had looked down to the ground. Kurama's green hues softened, and never left Hiei's small form, making Yusuke look at the two of them… Back-fourth-back-fourth, blinking, sighing and looking away.

Kurama would lift his gaze, turning his head to look in another direction to think, sighing a bit.

I just wanna hold you close
But so far all I have are dreams of you

"Boy… I wonder what's the matter with them…" Kuwabara would ask out loud, blinking.

"Yeah guys, whatever's eatin' at ya, cheer up." Yusuke would follow, chuckling before looking away.

Hiei wouldn't even glance at Yukina before he simply left, like he always did… Kurama saying that he was just stopping by, and he too, would leave.

"Something's wrong…" Keiko would say softly, "At least, that's what it feels like…"
