Waking up in the hospital was unnerving.
The white walls drove the red-headed boy crazy.
White…The color of innocence, the color of perfection.
The white walls seem to mock him.
"Look how perfect we are not a smudge on us."
"Don't you wish you were like us?"
Kurama tried to stand up , but was pulled back down by the I.V. still stuck in his arm.
His mother has come visit him.
Mother…she was so innocent.
How many times had he lied to her.
He's lied to her about Yoko, about her real unborn son.
How can such woman of kindness and warmth
Given birth to him. HIM thief of the Demon World.
No…Yoko was perfection. His slight figure , his long silver hair.
Hm.. interesting Kurama hasn't sensed the demon spirit.
Oh…well maybe he finally chose to settle down.
"Shuichi"
The voice snapped the kitsune spirit to attention.
A young woman, her soft white shoes squeaked on the floor.
"It's time for your vitamins."
"Thank you, ma'am."
The young nurse blushed.
"Oh. Please call me Yuri"
Kurama smiled
Even in the hospital women are still attracted to me.
"Yuri ma'am."
The nurse looked up from the tray she was fussing over.
"Could you possibly tell when I shall be discharged?"
Yuri turned around startled.
"Oh Shuichi you won't be released until you put on some weight!"
Kurama frowned
What again! Another one trying to put themselves in the way of my goal weight!
Why. Does Kami-sama not want me to be perfect.
But It's Not about What He Wants, It's About what I want.
I Want Out And I Want Out NOW!
Kurama smiled, the kind of smile that can melt you straight through the floor.
The nurse blushed till her head exploded from all the blood rush.
"Oh..Um..Oh My"
"Ma'am couldn't you , tweak my weight just so I can go home"
"Oh I can't"
"But. Ma'am I really want to be at home with mother…"
This boy wants to be with his mother…
The nurse left the room thinking.
Kurama devilish smile seemed to grow.
He knew the nurse would do it, and no one will bother to re-weigh him.
He laughed and laid back.
He'll soon lose whatever weight he gained, just you wait….
Kurama was so engrossed in his thoughts, He failed to notice the familiar
Bright red eyes that pierce the stark white, staring through the window
The fox. Something is wrong with his fox!
Hiei sniffed the air. Nothing. The room was so sterile that all he could smell would sting.
Hiei narrowed his eyes as he put his arm in front of his sensitive nose.
How can the fox stand that smell. How can he just sit there with those things in him?
Hiei's lack of knowledge of the human world was frustrating.
He wished that Kurama had at least bothered to teach him things.
Okay I should have paid more attention when he was teaching him that human nonsense.
Hiei knocked at the window, not wanting to break the glass. He hadn't since that one time Kurama scolded him for breaking his house window alarming his mother.
Kurama was still in his weird thoughts, that shut off his mind from his surrounding.
Hiei let out a feral growl as he careful, but swiftly unsheathed his sword and jammed it in the window prying it open.
He walked in, walked towards his currently demented friend and roughly shoved him.
Kurama let out a yelp ( very manly yelp of course) and stared surprised at Hiei.
"Hiei when did you get here?" he let out a chuckle
"Found yourself a new way of greeting people, I see."
Hiei grunted while looking around the white room.
"Why are you here fox?"
Kurama looked at the fire demon before he cracked a smile
"I got sick in school, bad cafeteria food"
Hiei looked at Kurama before grunting again and responding
"Liar"
What could this fire demon know He couldn't possible know.
Wait he was a telepath!
But would Hiei really go looking in the labyrinth that was his mind?
Would the demon really be so intrusive?
The answer plain and simple …yes.
Than again the forbidden child does have a honor code no matter how complicated it is.
But would intruding on his mind to get what he wanted
fall under that code?
"What's wrong with you Kurama?"
Wrong with him? Nothing was wrong with him!
Nothing was wrong with the great spirit fox!
Kurama cast a rather depressing face at Hiei
"Whatever are you talking about Hiei?"
"Why are you in this building? Why do you look so deathly ill?"
The red head cast him a look of surprise.
"Just what are you talking about Hiei"
Hiei glared at him.
How could he not see that he was killing himself.
How could he not hear his body screaming for help!
Hiei let out a growl and stared at the red-head.
Kurama just gave him a confused stare.
That infuriated him! His red eyes glowed with anger.
Hiei grabbed Kurama by the neck of the hospital gown,
And pulled him toward the mirror in the bathroom.
Kurama whimpered in pain as the I.V. pulled into his skin, until
Finally it popped out with a painful yelp from Kurama.
Hiei growled "Look At Yourself!"
Kurama stared at his image.
He made a disgusted face.
Look at that fat on his face.
Look at that fat . LOOK AT IT!
Look at that…look at the boy so far from perfection.
Look even his friend is telling him to look.
Oh woe, it is to be you!
He got tired of his image at the evidence of his imperfection.
His eyes narrowed and he let out a grunt as he left his right hand balled into a fist, his knuckles white.
The fist flew into the mirror , and it shattered into glittering pieces.
Hiei was surprise from his friends sudden violent act.
It was his job to act irrational, it was always Hiei who had to be violent. Kurama was the rational one, he was the one to solve problems.
If Kurama acted in such a way…something must be wrong with him.
"Fox, You should talk to the toddler."
Kurama green eyes narrowed as he let out a sneer
"What ever for Hiei I'm fine."
Hiei just shook his head.
"Fine, than it's your death, fox"
The red-headed boy just smirked, as if he just thought of a wonderful plan.
His eyes were wild, animal-like, and Hiei could take no more and took his leave.
Author: Seems like Kurama is slowly losing his mind, and Hiei is worried!?!
Oh what could happen next! I'll like to apologize for the extremely delayed chapter update, but this girl has problems with writer's block and time.
Of course, high school just about makes my brain burst at the seems. - Being a junior sucks ass readers!!
To The Reviewer: I was thinking about putting in a background for the beloved red-head, but I have decided to let it leak in little by little, I don't know I think it adds to the drama! YAY DRAMA!
To Serenity Angel: My best friend, you must be so proud of me, love! Of course, I shall advertise her story, so far she has written wonderful stories for Supernatural, Four Brothers, and of course my favorites Kingdom Hearts and Naruto. Yeah baby!
