Chapter 2

"Kurama—"

"Kurama-"

Hiei suddenly woke up to realize that he was just dreaming. Why was he dreaming about Kurama? He didn't know. Though, it was a pretty strange dream. He scratched his head and sighed. He looked around and noticed he was in the human world. He forgotten he had traveled back last night. He tossed the thoughts of Kurama out of his head. He needed to forget about him. Besides, Kurama lived in this world. He couldn't deal with living with humans, but Yusuke was an exception.

Hiei then thought then why he came to the human world? He looked down and remembered. He sees Kurama walking home from school. Hmmm did he come back to check on him and possibly Yusuke? He sees Kurama's head move. Did he know that he was nearby? He hoped Kurama didn't. He watched closely as Kurama met up with Yusuke. Why was he with him? Why did he care about what Kurama was doing? He watched as the two headed away.

"So, Kurama, what did you want to talk about?" asked Yusuke suddenly.

Kurama stared at the ground. He wasn't sure where to begin. How would Yusuke react anyways to him liking Hiei? He continued to stare at the ground, and Yusuke gave him a puzzled look. "Kurama is this something you really want to talk about?"

Kurama sighed and finally spoke. "I think so…" He paused as he knew someone was listening in. "Yusuke, we are being followed."

"Really? I didn't notice," said Yusuke surprised. He felt the energy around him and realized it was that three eyed demon. What was he doing back here?

"Let's not talk about it now."

"Wait, is this about Hiei?"

"Could be," replied Kurama.

"Dam, Kurama, make up your mind."

Kurama didn't reply back. Kurama's house came in view. They went inside, where they found Kurama's mother in the living room.

"Good afternoon, Shuichi.i see you brought a friend home from school. Will he be staying long?"

"Most likely not. I must meet up with Keiko later," replied Yusuke.

"We'll be in my room, mother."

"Alright dear."

Kurama led Yusuke up to his room. Neither of them said anything until they settled in. Kurama sensed no one was near. "Yusuke, I want to talk to you about Hiei."

"Hmmm what about him?"

Kurama stared at the ground again. His heart started to race. He was finally going to say it.

He whispered, "I-I think I'm in love with Hiei."

Yusuke was dumbstruck, and fell over. Kurama quickly got up to see if he was okay. Yusuke didn't know what to say to him. There was one question he had to ask, but he couldn't. He stared stupidly at Kurama. He knew Kurama wanted his input. He finally gathered his thoughts, "When did this happen?"

"I don't know. This feeling has been going on for awhile now. I'm not sure how it began."

"Why are you telling me this? Why not Hiei, himself?"

"I just can't. I know he doesn't feel the same way as I do. We have been friends for so long now. Do I risk that friendship?"

"And here I thought demons couldn't love," chuckled Yusuke.

"Prove me wrong, Yusuke, but aren't you a demon too?"

Yusuke stared at Kurama. He nodded. He added "Oh, right. You know I sometimes forget."

This made Kurama smile. Yusuke could be such an idiot sometimes. He wonders what Keiko really sees in him.

Yusuke asked, "So are you going to tell Hiei? I think you should. At least give him a chance."

"I don't think he will give me a chance though."

"You never know. Besides, he never did say who he prefers: boys or girls. As of now you still have like a 50/50 chance or not at all. "

"What do you mean by none at all?"

"Hiei, doesn't like anyone."

Kurama burst out laughing. This is true Hiei usually doesn't like anyone, but he does put up with him and Yusuke. Maybe there was some hope about Hiei liking him. Kurama quieted down. Yusuke smiled at his joke. Yusuke wondered if Hiie would actually like Kurama. If Hiei hurts Kurama, he would surely destroy that three eyed demon. Kuram sighed and watched Yusuke for awhile.

"Yusuke—didn't you say you had to be somewhere?"

Yusuke looked at the time. Oh crap he thought he was late to see Keiko. He dashed to the door, but not before adding to Kurama that he should tell Hiei. What did he have to lose? Maybe, just a little awkwardness between them for awhile. Kurama nodded to him as he left. Kurama then feared about if Hiie actually listened to their conversation. He did feel Hiei's presence awhile ago. Did Yusuke notice too or not?

Yusuke did give some good advice. He should tell Hiei how he felt. He didn't have much to lose. He got up and took out his homework. At some point in time, he decided that he is going to tell him.

Meanwhile, Yusuke walked towards Keiko. He knew he would have to apologize to her. He snarled, and finally met up with Keiko. She didn't look to happy.

"Keiko I'm—"

Keiko stopped him. She stared at him with her hands on her hips. "Yusuke. Where were you? I told you to meet me hhere about fifteen minutes ago."

"I know, I got sidetracked. I had to meet with someone," replied Yusuke. He then realized he chose the wrong choice of words as Keiko's expression changed.

"Who," snarled Keiko. "Why was this more important than to see me? I thought you cared about me!" Tears started to show in her eyes. Yusuke pleaded to her to not start crying.

"I'm sorry, Keiko I got sidetracked with Kur—"

"With, Kurama! Oh I'm relieved."

"Why? Keiko, you know I wouldn't do that to you. But anyways Kurama needed to speak with me."

"Oh about what? Was it about the spirit world?"

"No. it was something else that was important. I cannot tell you about this one."

"Okay. But I'm at least glad you told me the truth. I'll respect Kurama by not bugging you more about this subject."

Keiko then dragged Yusuke to where she wanted to go. Yusuke wondered where she was taking him. It was a romantic movie, he groaned, and tried to get away. Keiko snarled back saying he promised. He sighed and dragged himself along. He wished he was at the arcade.
