Chapter 2
"Don't give up, it takes a while And you know that accidents can happen
I have seen this look before
And it's alright
You're not alone
If you don't love this anymore
I hear that you've slipped again
I'm here 'cause I know you'll need a friend
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away." By Six A.M
There was a lot of commotion in the Men's junior department at the mall. Yusuke gathered up loads of shirts and jeans. The shirts varied from black to white (Like the value scale, so no color). Some of the shirts had funny sayings, while others had pictures or nothing at all. The jeans were all one color, black, but had different lengths. The last thing Yusuke grabbed was a bag of small socks. They were black and white.
Hiei was forced to come to the store. He hated human clothing. He liked natural creations, like trees, mountains, rivers, etc. Every time Yusuke picked out an item of clothing Hiei would 'humped', grunt, or 'hned' at them. Yusuke thought it was quite funny.
Yusuke grabbed hold of Hiei's left wrist and literally dragged him into the dressing room hall. They went into the first empty room (which happened to be the very last room in the back). Yusuke placed the items on a bench, then he picked out a plain white tee and a pair of jeans. He walked over to Hiei and handed them to him.
Hiei just cocked his head at the raven haired boy in front on him. Now Hiei's not dumb. He knew what Yusuke was doing, he just wasn't sure as to why he was still in the room with him. 'Is this a normal human custom or does the Detective gets joy out of seeing people undress?' Hiei thought.
"What?" Yusuke asked dumbfounded at Hiei's tense gaze. Yusuke shoved the clothes at his friends face.
Hiei knocked the clothes away from him. The clothes slipped out of Yusuke's grasp and fell to the floor.
Yusuke looked down at the floor then at Hiei with a malice look. "Why did you do that for?"
"Why are you in here?" Hiei matched Yusuke's malice look with his malice tone.
"Don't respond to my question with a question. I want an answer. Why did you knock the clothes on the floor?"
"I don't like to be…" Hiei's eyes went distant only for a second or two, then took on an angry stare. "Is it custom for you to be in here with someone else?"
"No," Yusuke just then realized what Hiei was asking. He wanted to say 'Yes' but that wouldn't be right. He doesn't have the heart to take advantage of anyone, unless it's a fight between life or death. "No it's not. I just wanted to make sure the clothes fit you all right."
Wrong choice of words. Hiei's eyes narrowed. Yusuke had to look away in fear of that Hiei could steal his soul. "I'm not some dependant human child! I can judge weather or not the items fit me or not! I even told you to let me have my space, you're about to cross the line! One more time and I swear I'll burn you into a crisp! You got me?!" Hiei said vehemently.
Yusuke wanted to direly to comment back but he didn't want to risk Hiei's death threat. "I'm sorry. I'll leave you alone, but after this I want you to at least eat something. It's been a while, okay?" Yusuke asked benignly.
"Hn." Was the answer. That was good enough for Yusuke.
Yusuke exited the room. He lend against the door then slide down till he was sitting. 'Why did I want to stay in there with him? Does part of me like Hiei more than a friend? No, I'm just been alone for far too long. I just wanted to stay near someone. Yeah that's it. That's why I wanted to stay. I'm lonely.' He convinced himself.
'Damn that Detective. I knew he was a pervert just by the way he acted around that Keiko girl.' He stripped off Yusuke's over size clothes. He picked up the white shirt off the floor and put it on. 'A tight fit.' He then slipped on the jeans. They were way too long.
Hiei took off the pants and gather all the jeans that looked too long. He then threw then up and over the dressing room door. He tried on many, many shirts and the ones that didn't fit threw them over.
On the other side of the door, Yusuke was slowly being consumed in a mountain of clothes. Yusuke shook his head as each item was thrown over.
After about five minutes of clothing being thrown over the door, it opened up. Yusuke fell backwards. He landed at Hiei's feet. Hiei 'Hmped' and walked over the boy. Yusuke grabbed hold of Hiei's ankle causing him to fall to the floor, with his small armful of clothes.
"What the hell, Detective!?" Hiei shouted.
"You're no leaving me to put all these away. You're gonna help me." Yusuke said standing up.
"Hn." Hiei left his clothes on the floor and helped Yusuke put up the jeans and shirts up. After that he went to get his things.
At the Café
Yusuke and Hiei sat at an outside Café. They waited as a young woman, mid twenties, walked up to them. She pushed her brown hair behind her ear, then she took out a pad from her apron.
"What would you gentlemen want?" She asked in her preppy voice.
"um, I want a hamburger with fires." Yusuke said staring at her larger bosoms.
The lady turned to Hiei. "What about you?"
"Tea."
"What kind?"
"Huh?" Hiei blinked. He didn't know there was more than one kind. "Wha-what kind is there?"
The lady too out a menu she had in her apron pocket and handed it to Hiei. It took him less than a second to read over the menu. He handed it back to the girl while pointed to the green tea.
Yusuke notice a fresh cut on His friends arm. He waited till their waitress was gone before he spoke.
"What happened?" Hiei looked at Yusuke with a confounded look. Yusuke grabbed Hiei's wrist. "THAT! This is fresh. Those cuts on your face didn't match what those demons did to you. Did you-"
"Where did you hear that?" Hiei asked as he withdrew his wrist.
"You. You told me earlier today what happened to you in demon world. How could you not remember, it was just five hours ago." Yusuke stated.
"I did no such thing! All I remember was going to that damn human clothing store!" Hiei stood up. He was furious, how did Yusuke know that, if he didn't say anything?
"Yes you did. I wouldn't lie to you." He voice was deadly calm.
"Yes you would! You'd would lie to trick me into doing something! I'm leaving for good! See you in Hell, Detective!"
Hiei walked off, well not really he stormed off. Yusuke shot up from his seat and went after his friend. Yusuke grabbed Hiei's shoulder and whipped him around. He then tackled him to the ground and straddled Hiei's waist.
"GET OFF OF ME, DETECTIVE!" Hiei shouted at Yusuke as he struggled to get out from under him. Hiei punched, kneed Yusuke's back, and even clawed at his bare flesh. That didn't work. Yusuke held strong.
"No! not until you tell me what going on with you!" Yusuke pinned Hiei's arms above his head. Concern and angry shown in his chocolate eyes. He knew something was wrong with is friend. He also respected his space, but when he's goes and hurt himself it's his business. If something is tarring and ripping at his soul. He wants so desperately to help. "Please tell me what's going on. Maybe I can help."
Hiei stopped struggling. "Here's nothing you can do to help a poor bastard like me! No one can! No one can change what happened to me." He said the last sentence in barely a whisper.
Yusuke took in what Hiei just said and decide to finish this conversation at his house.
At Yusuke's
Yusuke shoved Hiei into the wall outside of the house. Yusuke held on tightly to Hiei's shoulders. Hiei fought against his friends grip, but it was a no go. Yusuke wasn't going to let go until Hiei told him what was going on.
"No tell me what's going on with you? You tell me, told me some what of what happened to you, then you go and just forget about it!" yusuke got close to his little fire demon. Hiei's eyes averted away from Yusuke's. "Please I want to help you. I hate to see one of my dearest friends so hurt. What ever is going on, it's slowly tarring you apart. I see it in your eyes. That fire you use to have had burned out."
Yusuke cupped Hiei's right cheek. Hiei shied away from Yusuke's touch. So instead, Yusuke placed his hand on the nook of Hiei's neck.
"Please Hiei. You don't need to bottle up every little thing you're feeling. It will make you go sick. If you don't let it out, it's just going to permeate. I known from all the years that I've known you, you were a gallant person. Don't let this frighten you. Are you so afraid of what I might think of you if-"
"I'm an outcast!" Hiei shouted. "I was left for dead when my mother's friend dropped me off the Glacier islands. I was raised by blood thirty bandits. I was always hunted by other demons because of my mother's tear gem. I had to fight them. I slaughtered so many demons before I was six, in human years, in demon before my teens. Those bandits abandoned me, because if my cruel killing nature.
"I went in search of my mother. Once I arrived at the Glacier village, I discovered my mother died shortly after I was casted away. That's when I found out I had a sister. I got the Jagon eye so I could keep an eye on her, but I could never tell her who I really was and to be trained under the Sergan's way of the sword.
"After the tournament you set up. I got the job of escorting humans back to Human world. Well after years of doing it, I became some what drawn to them. I went and studied some of the human ways. The other demons took noticed and came after me. I held them off before they got my head. During the slaughter, or battles, I killed Yomi's son. He came to tell me his father would allow me to use his men. To help fiend off the demons.
Once he got word of his son's death. He set a bounty on my head. Every demon took up on it. Mukuro kept me locked up, but soon hordes of demons slaughtered and killed her men. She told me to escape to the Human worlds till things cooled down. I didn't escape unscaved. They beat me and one of my past… , uh… I guess you can say comrade, sliced open my stomach.
"Days before Mukuro told me to leave; I cut myself to make sure that what was going on was infact real. I slit my arm was because I needed to feel pain. That's all I've known for hundred of hears. For all that went on in my life made me close myself, making my heart cold, and anti-social. All I wanted my whole life was to feel wanted."
Hiei broke down crying. He slide down the wall. Yusuke was shocked by what Hiei just said. He kneeled down and embraced Hiei. Sounds of tear gems clicking on the wooden porch.
Yusuke felt so bad for his friend. He understood how Hiei felt. Yusuke always felt neglected and abandoned by his mother. He had to survive on his own. He to fight to just stay alive. People wanted to stay clear of him, part due to his rough, tuff exterior. Inside he was being tortured. He kept fighting himself, saying that people will come around and not be scared.
Keiko came around. She showed him love and understanding. Yusuke not being use to any affection was scared and didn't show it back. When he did right before he went to demon world, more so after he came back. That didn't last long.
Hiei wrapped his arms around Yusuke's neck. Yusuke's eyes widened at the Youki's actions. He was even more shocked when he started to lean backwards. After a second he was fully lying on his back with Hiei on top of him.
Hiei buried his face in Yusuke's chest. Slowly he fell asleep, warm and at peace. When Hiei slept it was like watching an angel grace you with it's everlasting beauty. He looked so calm and relaxed then compared to when he was awake, timid and always angry.
Yusuke slowly sat up, not wanting to wake the fire youki. He ever so carefully stood with Hiei in his arms. Yusuke carried Hiei to his room. He slide the door open with is foot. Yusuke carefully placed Hiei on the bed then started to walk away, but couldn't. Hiei had a firm grip on Yusuke's shirt. Yusuke laid down next to his friend so he could know someone was there.
