Hiei pov
Sitting in the corner of a white room, I'm exhausted. I haven't slept for days, I don't care... Humans watch me and question me. I don't know why, I never answered them or dared to ask. I haven't seen the sun in days, it doesn't matter it's not worth it knowing I have no reason to live. Leaning against the wall my body began to shiver, it's freezing cold. Closing my eyes, I slowly began to recall how I came here. Yukina laid dead in my arms, humans ran at us, they were trying to take her from me. She was already dead yet they still wanted to take her from me. I lost my mind; I don't remember everything I did, but I do remember that there were many people on top of me. I remember being strapped and dragged inside a humans transportation, and then being questioned in a closed room. I don't remember what I said, if I said anything, or what they asked. I believe that they wanted answers from me, answers not even I knew. Opening my eyes, a man enters my room in a white cloak, he's been bothering me day in and day out.
"How are you feeling today?" he asked me.
I didn't answer him, I didn't even flinch, I didn't care to... I don't know where I was, why I was here, or how long I was going to stay here. I just wanted him to leave, to get out and leave me alone. My chest tightened, I'm in pain, how could I be in pain when I have no injuries. I just wanted to die, why couldn't it have been me? Why did she, the girl everybody loved, the girl that wouldn't even harm a fly have to die; while I a wondering soul with no hope have to plagued the earth with my existence?
"Child, I am not against you, I am only trying to help you!" he said again finally loosing his patience with me, since I wasn't paying any attention to what he was saying.
I didn't care to, exhausted my mind craved to sleep but my body didn't respond. Laying my head against the wall I continued to stare at the corner of the wall as he spoke meaningless words to me.
Kurama pov
It's been six days since Yukina's and Keiko's death and six days since Hiei was put in rehabilitation. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and myself have been going crazy looking for a way to get custody over Hiei since he had almost killed a cop. 52 hours; I've been 52 hours straight on this damn computer, nothing useful but a bunch of phone numbers. Yusuke is on the phone, probably arguing with another lawyer. There isn't much we can do, it's not like we had money. Luckily for us, Atsuko knew many strange people that could help us out. A cup of coffee was placed right besides me, I looked at it for a brief moment before acknowledging the person beside me. My step brother stood next to me with a worried expression on his face.
"Brother, are you alright?" he asked me in such a light tone of voice.
Looking back at the computer I continued to type.
"I'll be fine as soon as we get Hiei out." I said as I continued to type.
He sat next to me and laid his head against my shoulder, he seemed very upset. I don't blame him, I have been neglecting everything for days now including myself. I was responsible for Yukina's death and now Hiei is in a Psychiatric rehabilitation because of my foolishness. My finger tips are now trembling and aching, my head is pounding, why can't I find anything! My cellphone went off making me jump nervously.
"He- hello?" I said sounding very husky, I guess I didn't realize how long have I been misusing my voice.
"Minamino, it's Kaito." said the boy on the phone.
"I know." I responded impatiently.
"You seem stressed-" he said again trying to engage into a conversation.
"Get to the point." I honestly didn't want to speak, I just wanted to fix my mistakes and set things straight.
"I have the information you wanted. It seems as though only family members can have any give and take with any criminal or health issues." he explained sounding a little disappointed.
Shutting my eyes I began to think of a solution.
"I understand, keep in touch." I said as I hanged up on him and continued to type on the computer.
"Who was that?" asked Yusuke as he walked back in the room I was in.
"Kaito." I responded. "He told me everything I have already known."
"Great." he responded sadistically as he laid down on the couch.
"I may have an idea that might work." I said as I began to tap into an illegal site. "You mentioned before that your father used to hang around women right?" I said bringing up a conversation that we had along time ago.
"Yeah..." he muttered as he began to fiddle with a bottle of sake.
"Since no one can find your father, I am going to make a fake profile claiming that Hiei is your brother." I explained as I started to type in the profile.
"Wha- what?" asked Yusuke a bit shocked.
"There's no way neither my or Kuwabara's family could fit another individuals profile, since your mother is young and is single it is most convenient that she could half a half son somewhere." I explained keeping my pose.
Yusuke actually laughed out loud.
"And your so serious!" he said making me stop and stare at him.
It's been a while since I actually looked at him. He was laughing but I could see he was also crying. He looked broken, his hair was a dull color and quite messy, he had dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep and he was much more thinner then usual.
"You look terrible." I blurted out.
Yusuke looked at me with a surprise look.
"Well so do you fox boy!" he said slightly annoyed.
I gave him a quick small smile then resumed back to my work. I needed to finish this, I needed to get Hiei out now, this was all my fault, Yukina was dead and it was all my fault. As I typed Yusuke chugged down the huge bottle he had, I didn't bother in stopping him. How could I, the boy was suffering and as much as drinking doesn't solve anything I didn't have the strength to stop him. Six hour went by, my brother was gone he left some time ago. Yusuke was asleep, at least the alcohol served some purpose. I had finally finished the profile, I felt as though I had cramps on my finger tips. Standing up I almost tumbled over, the room was spinning making me feel slightly uncomfortable. Using the wall as my support I finally reached the couch and let myself crash down, surprisingly it wasn't as soft as I had expected it to be. Trying to regain my focus I was shocked to see Yusuke's face only inches away from me. My face flushed a deep red, as the raven haired boys warm chocolate eyes opened. We stared at each other for what felt like an eternity, my heart was pounded loudly in my chest as I stared into those eyes. I opened my mouth to say something, anything, but I felt so dry and swollen that nothing came out. Applying pressure on the cushions I tried my best to push of him or at least get into a less embarrassing position. Just as I thought things couldn't have gotten any more queer my hair was snagged onto the boys buttons making me enabled to get off the boys chest. I couldn't breath, I must admit I had a huge crush on the boy and I was doing a perfect job ruining it.
"Are you okay?" he asked me.
His face seemed confused yet concerned. My heart stopped as the boy sat up, my face flushed even brighter, I was now sitting face to face on the boys lap. Yusuke seemed to have noticed since he also blushed. I attempted to get off one more time yet my locks were locked on tightly to the boys buttons. I winced a bit in pain as the strands of hair didn't release themselves from their captivity. Soft hands gently took hold of the strands of hair and slowly began to untangle them from the buttons. The second I was free, I panicked. I quickly got off him and left through the door.
"Kurama!" called out Yusuke sounding very worried.
I didn't respond, I was too embarrassed to say or do anything. Running down the steps, I took them two at a time. Turning the corner I finally came to a halt, what on earth am I doing? I'm so stressed out that I just acted like a complete nutcase, maybe I should calm down before I go back inside. Taking a step I herd a strange squeaking sound making me jump up a bit. Rats ran past me and down the sewers, in such a peculiar pattern causing me to feel slightly uneasy as if something bad was about to happen. Taking in a deep breath I began to make my way down the street; I really should copy the files and send it to the police station, but it would rather risky since they seen my face countless times. I could be accused of false identification, maybe this would be a perfect time to call Kaito for some aid...
Kaito pov
I just got home from grocery shopping, my house was a complete mess due to the fact I have been studying for my finals. Dishes was piled in the sink, papers and books were all over the counter, trash papers and more books were on the table and the floor. Pushing aside a couple of books I finally found the phone where I checked my messages. Sadly there was none, so I took my coffee and sat down at my computer where I began to study some more. The world of science is quite a thought depending on how you look at it, but something snapped me out of my concentration, there was an annoying scratching sound within the wall. Stopping what I was doing, I lifted up and leaned against the wall. It sounded like rats, moving back I accidentally elbowed my cup causing it to fall over and spill.
"just perfect." I said as I picked up the cup to take it back to the sink. I hardly remembered that I had the computer on.
Walking into the kitchen I went to put my cup away till my eyes caught sight of an envelop. I smiled as I picked it up and let the object slide into my hand. It was a small yet pretty ring, it's been six months since I've been dating this girl. Walking over to place my cup in the sink I tripped over a couple of my books and dropped my ring in the sink.
"Oh no!" I muttered as I clumsily stood up and began to take the plates out of the sink. The ring tumbled down the drain as I made space to grab it. "Curse my intuitions!"
Taking everything out of the sink I forced my hand down the drain to pull it out. I actually got it, but my hand was now stuck. My cellphone rang, with my free hand I answered it.
"How can I help Minamino-san?" I asked still trying to pull my hand out.
"Kaito... well I have a favor to ask you." he said sounding very stressed out.
I smiled to myself, it's not everyday that your adversary calls for your help, though in my case he might need to help me out before I can help him out.
"Ok, but on one condition." I said teasing the boy a bit.
"And what is that?" he asked sounding a bit curious
"I'm stuck." I said. All of a sudden I swore I herd him chuckling, that's when I knew he was tired. I mean Minamino has always smiled and was really polite yet I never once herd him actually chuckle.
"Of course, I'm heading your way now. I'll be there in five min." he said.
"Fine here, I'll be waiting." I said as this time I hanged up on him.
Smiling I tossed my cellphone on the side and took hold of the soap too see if I could slip my hand out. My cellphone fell on top of the piled and then slipped, flipping on the switch for the garbage disposal. My eyes widened in horror as I herd the angry sounds of the garbage disposal.
"Oh fuk!" I screamed as I realized what was going to happen.
I screamed in pain and agony as the garbage disposal began to grind up my hand. It won't let go of me, I pulled and I pulled, but no matter what I did it just wouldn't let go of me. I screamed out for help and in pain as I violently pulled on my arm. Finally after all my efforts I pulled it out. My hand was completely molded and disfigured, it didn't even look like a hand anymore. I was losing blood, running to my living to grab something to stop the bleeding I stepped on a rat. It squeaked catching me by surprise and causing me to fall. Instinctively I put down my right hand which turned out to be my grind hand.
Kurama pov
Walking up the steps of an old apartment, I felt very uneasy. I honestly liked it better when Kaito was living with his mother.
"Excuse me." said a man that walked past me carrying a giant plasma TV.
"no problem." I said as I moved to the side. "Oh a sir, do you know what time it is?"
The man grinned evilly at me with similar teeth like the guy who fought Kuwabara.
"It's exactly six-eleven." he said before disappearing up the stairs.
I watched him leave a bit suspiciously then ignored it as I turned my attention back towards Kaito's door number. I was about to knock on the door when I herd a breath taking scream.
"Kaito?" I called. There was no response just a constant chorus of cries, I quickly tried to open the door, it was locked. "Kaito, answer me!" I cried almost pleadingly.
Jiggling the handle I had had enough, even in my nauseous state I was able to kick the door down. Running in the room I came across the kitchen, the garbage disposal was on and there was blood all over the floor. I followed it, it lead me to the living room. My eyes widened as I saw Kaito clutching onto his hand. It was covered in blood and it was missing most of it's bits and pieces.
"Kaito!" I screamed out.
The boy sat up to look at me and his computer exploded, blowing up his head along with it. His blood splattered all over my face and body. I screamed completely devastated about everything that happened. I mean this couldn't have been real, there is no way that all of this could happen. I turned and ran out of the room completely frantic about the whole situation. I ran down the zig zag stairs and was to take off running like a crazy person when strong arms took hold of me, looking up at the figure, I saw Kaito's old friend Yanagisawa.
"What happened?" he asked me as he shook me, he sounded very concerned.
I try to open my mouth to talk but I was so shook-en up that I wasn't even thinking clearly. Yanagisawa's face became fearful once he noticed that I had blood all over my face.
"Look out!" screamed out a man from above us.
A plasma TV dropped from the top floor, I saw it, and just as it was about to crush Yanagisawa, I pushed him out of the way.
Hiei pov
"Kurama!" I screamed out waking up from the nightmare.
Breathing heavily and sweating I knew I had to get out. I have already lost enough people, there was no way I was going to lose Kurama too. I immediately stood up and began to bang on the place, I needed to get out and now. Suddenly the door opened and many humans in white jackets entered with strange looking needles. They came at me and I took on all of them in an instant, knocking them all out cold. Running through the hallways I exited through one of the open windows.
Kurama pov
The police came, the hospital came, the firefighters came and even Kaito's girlfriend came. The man whom had the plasma claimed that a theft had attacked him for his TV, since no one was really injured there was no charges pressed against him. The cops said I was lucky to have only received a scratch from the television yet that was brave to have saved my friend. I didn't care for their opinion, I just wanted to know, what in Inari's name happened to Kaito. I knew he was stuck but he never mentioned that he was in pain nor in any danger.
"Is there any family members that you would like to contact?" asked one of the cops.
I shook my head not wanting to answer him, wrapped in a blanket I was completely shook-en up that I couldn't even breath. A cop walked over towards the cop that was talking to me. I recognized him from the construction area, so I covered my head with the blanket and listened to their conversation.
"It seems like some short kid with spiky black hair with a white starburst, had escaped from a psychiatric hospital nearby." he said to the cop.
"What, you can't be serious! There is no way a kid could escape such a well guarded place." responded the other cop.
My heart stopped, there was only one person he knew with that description and that was Hiei. I stood up and sneaked past the cops, making my way to the subway. I had to find Hiei before they do.
Yusuke pov
It's six-eleven, where the hell is Kurama. He seemed very upset earlier, yet it was very disturbing that have been dying and the fox was no where to be found! Feeling very frustrated, I turned on the TV to relax myself. The fox was clearly exhausted, yet it worried me that he wasn't very stable. A smile slowly crept on my face; now that I'm thinking about it, why was the fox on top of me? Hopefully he didn't drink any of the sake I had. I've known the fox for sometime now, yet there was still so much I wanted to know about him. Despite the fact that the fox hasn't been taking care of himself the last few days, he still had a light scent of roses. I honestly have no idea what he was doing on me, but somehow I don't care. I mean I did but I didn't... suddenly a news breaking scene snapped me out of my thoughts. Kaito's apartment was on TV...
Hiei pov
Running past many humans I finally came to a stop at the park, it was freezing cold, I had no time to change, I'd probably go fetch my stuff some other time; if I had time. Where could Kurama be, how were people dying so strangely, why was this happening? Suddenly a news paper caught my attention, picking it up it read " A tragedy at the carnivals 180th celebration." with a picture of the contraction that almost killed us. What if, we had died in that accident? What if, I had kept my mouth shut and we had never survived? Arms wrapped around me startling me, I looked up very surprised to see the fox holding onto me tightly. I never thought the day would come where I was actually glad to be in his embrace. He was alive, a bit shaken, but alive.
"I'm so sorry..." he whispered almost sounding close enough to a whimper.
What had happened to my dear friend, he seemed almost broken. He didn't look at me, but nor did he turn from me.
"I am so very much sorry, I-I should have been more careful, I-I should have payed more attention." he said half way stuttering.
Did he believe that it was his fault, that Yukina had died because of him? Did he think I was put away for his doings? Taking in a deep breath, I knew I had to tell him what was happening to me.
"It's not your fault." I said trying to calm down the fox. Kurama already had enough guilt with everything that had happened to him as a thief, there was no need for any more pressure.
"But, I-I-..." he was about to protest when I cut him off, there was no more need to have made this anymore difficult than it already was.
"No Kurama, that's enough." I said in a strong tone, the fox seemed shocked but said nothing.
Good job, scare him and then expect him to listen to you! The fox just stared at me expressionless, sighing I stood him back up.
"We need to talk." I said causing the fox to nod nervously.
"Oh, but we can't be seen through the streets." he said taking hold of me and dragging me down this strange looking tunnel with yet another transportation. "You remember the subway, right?" he asked me as he quickly payed for two tickets. I just watched him feeling very nervous.
We entered the subway and sat by the window, many faces turned our way. Stupid humans that can't mind there own business, I shot a glare at one of them that tried to get too close.
"Relax, it's only a twenty minute ride." the fox explained seeming much more relieved than earlier.
"Oh hello Shuuichi." said a female human that had just entered the human contraction alongside a young human boy.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" responded Kurama seeming quite happy to see his human mother.
"Oh the usual." she responded very cheerful till she actually took notice on how terrible her son looked.
"And how are you doing?" Kurama asked the younger male completely unaware of his mother's expression.
"Much better." he said feeling much more cheerful to see that his older brother was smiling.
"Hiei, this is Shuuichi, my younger brother." Kurama explained to me as if I'd actually cared to know.
"This is Hiei, he's short." said the obnoxious kid causing me to raise an eyebrow as Kurama laughed.
"How adorable." he responded then paused very much alarmed. "That's strange, the subway should have stopped by now."
Suddenly the machine picked up pace causing anyone who was standing to fall over. I stood up to look out the window, the lights went out as we past yet another stop at a very high speed. The subway began to pick up even more speed making the people around us panic. There was a horrible explosion sound in the air, the front of the mechanism was on fire. Humans began to panic and move towards the back of the transportation, the doors was suddenly on automatic lock down preventing the passengers to move any further. We suddenly drove of the tracks and onto the pavement. The windows shattered, I dodged it but the man next to me wasn't so lucky. Blood flew in the air as one by one people were being stabbed by the shards of glass, Shiori screamed as a glass shard blew right through her son's head. We continued to grind till the subway began to tumble, Kurama caught the women in his arms and held her protectively close towards him.
"Hold on!" he screamed at me as the place tossed and turned. I stood in the middle holding onto the realm when suddenly we made contact. Pipes smashed through the wall and caught me by surprise piercing me right through my chest and throwing me back against the door. Blood shot right out of my mouth as I struggled for air.
"Hiei!" cried out Kurama as he tried to stand up and reach me. I stared at him in shock as the whole place went up in flames and swallowed my friend.
My heart pounded rapidly in my chest as sweat slowly traced down my face. The doors to the subway closed after Shiori and her son entered the subway.
"Oh hello Shuuichi." she said.
I looked around the place, it was as if nothing happened, I was still sitting down next to Kurama, the human mother never died and the transportation had never crashed.
Kurama pov
"Mother, what are you doing here." I acknowledged the women.
Suddenly Hiei stood up.
"We have to get out." he whispered towards me.
"What?" I asked him a bit confused as to the sudden change of plans.
"We have to get out!" he said slightly panicking.
I could see beads of sweat running down the fire demons face, it reminded me of that same time of the carnival.
"Shuuichi is your friend feeling alright?" my mother asked feeling a little alarmed.
"Oh uh well..." I was about to justify Hiei's actions when he suddenly took hold of my arm and began to practically drag me to the back of the subway. "Hiei what's the matter with you? The train is going to stop soon, if you really would like to get off we could stop at the next stop." I told him as he opened the door to the next room.
"We won't be stopping." he said sounding strangely hysterical.
"W ha-what?" I asked feeling a bit nauseous.
"That young boy is named Shuuichi." he said as he opened the door to the last cart. "he's your younger brother."
I furrowed my eyebrows at the information he just gave me. How did he know that when he was in demon world, was he stalking me? "How do you know that?" I finally asked as he dragged me to the back end of the subway. Somehow I felt very afraid of Hiei...
"This transportation is going to crash." he blurted out as the we actually passed the next stop. "Hold on."
I watched a bit petrified as we didn't stop, the subway suddenly picked up speed causing me to hold on tightly. People tumbled over from the force of how fast we were going. The lights went off and we began to go even faster, we passed the next stop and the next and the next. Each stop we passed caused a temporary light in the room.
"Hiei, whats going on?" I whispered a tense of fear stuck in my throat.
"We weren't suppose to survive." he responded.
"What?" I asked shocked at his response.
What was he talking about. Is he, is he trying to kill us? The room finally became bright and the subway jumped off the tracks. People screamed and tried to open the doors to get towards the back, but the doors were on a security lock down so they didn't open. I tried to get up to save the people, but I couldn't move. Hiei had a tight grip on my arm, the people screamed and pounded on the glass door provoking me even more to fight Hiei off.
"Let go!" I demanded as I literally fought Hiei's grip on me.
"Kurama, it's over!" he yelled as he forcefully sat me back down.
"Shuuichi!" screamed out my brother from the other the other cart.
I looked up to call his name when the windows shattered. A huge shard went right through the side of his head causing Shiori to make a fatal cry.
"Shuuichi!" I screamed as the sounds of the wheels screeching against the pavement over powered my voice.
People were dying all around me; a lady had a glass shard sticking out of her eye, she was screaming and panicking in fear, another man that tried to use the chair as support got his arms smashed as the subway collided in what seemed to have been a street light. Another lady was have way out the window when her body was ripped into pieces by hitting into a car, body pieced splattered the rest of the window. One of the realms to hold on gave out stabbing a man whom was sitting beside me... death... death was all around me. In the subway, on the streets, in the cars... I looked at Hiei completely devastated, he was right he said the subway was going to crash and it's crashing. Dead red eyes stared blankly ahead, the expression that held was unreadable. I couldn't stand this any longer, I made an attempt to stand up and the subway finally collided into something. The force through me crashing down to the floor, the sound of metal screeching teared through the air. It was quiet, trembling I tried to stand up. Right next to me was a really long pipe, my eyes widened, Hiei was stood only inches away from the pipe. I tried to open my mouth to say something, anything, but then there was an explosion. I turned my head to see body parts fly into the sky. My heart sank, the one child I grew to love has been blown to smithereens. There was a loud sound behind me, I didn't care to look. Hiei grabbed me and pulled me out through the back, he probably kicked the door down. He dragged me far far away from the subway till I finally reacted by pulling myself off him.
"You knew, you knew this was all going to happen?" I screamed.
"Kurama, let me explain!" he begged me, but I was way over hysteria to even care to listen.
"No, no! You had your chance to explain, we could have saved those people! Why didn't you?" I cried practically close to tears.
"Kurama they are none of my business." he explained coldly.
"Screw that, I honestly don't want to here it!" I screamed out as there was yet another explosion, Hiei instantly through himself at me throwing me five feet back. A huge piece of the subway slammed into the pavement.
I stared completely immobile, if that had hit me in my current state, I would have been a goner. Something stuck out of it, taking a closer look I recognized that it was my human mother.
"Mother!" I cried out as I ran over towards the smoldering hot broken up cart. I burned my hands as I teared open the door, the sight I saw was heart breaking. The women I loved most deary was still breathing yet she was missing her whole lower body. Heavyhearted, I swept her off the burning scrap metal and cradled her into my arms. Blood dripped down her lips as she was dying.
"Shuu...ichi..." she muffled tears dripping from her face.
Placing my finger against her lips I shushed her.
"Shuu...ichi where is...?" she tried to speak some more and I pulled her closer towards me. Her sad eyes slowly calmed and closed shut as she whimpered in my arms. She was suffering, I couldn't stop it, not even to end her suffering. Her body twisted and turned as she was having an elapses. I didn't once let her go, despite the suffocating sounds and the rumbles of her body I just held her. Her pain felt like an eternity as she rattled in my arms, but as soon as it started, it ended. Her body stopped completely and froze in my arms. Gently, I placed her down on the ground tears dripped down my face as she laid dead on the ground.
"Kurama?" Hiei called me a bit uncertain, I didn't want to know.
"Leave..." I said coldly. He didn't budge, the fire demon was about to confront me when I turned at him defensively. "Don't come near me!" I screamed tears flowing freely down my face, I was definitely afraid of Hiei now. "Don't you dare come near me!"
Hiei looked at me with a hurt expression and then disappeared, I just stood there not feeling like myself. What was going on, why was these things happening. I couldn't take it anymore, I was running, I didn't know where I was going, but nor did I care. I just wanted to leave and escape everything.
Yusuke pov
It was late and pouring rain, Kurama still hasn't returned yet. Ever since the breaking news of what had happened to Kaito I've been very worried about the fox.
"The hell with this!" I said to Kuwabara as I took off to go find the fox.
Kurama hasn't slept in days, if anything were to happen to him it would all be my fault for not stopping him. I finally made it to the bottom where I spotted the fox.
"Ku-rama?" I asked as I saw the boy just sitting there at the bottom of the steps.
The fox didn't move as I approached him, his head was hanged low covering his flushed face. I bend down face to face with the fox, he was soaking wet.
"why didn't you come upstairs?" I asked slightly irritated.
He didn't respond, instead he stood up to leave. That pissed me off, first he leaves without a word, then he doesn't come back, next he doesn't answer my calls and now he expects to leave after standing for I don't know how long under my apartment. I also stood up and took hold of his hand to stop him. Kurama turned to protest and I held him, just like when he held me, I held him. Kurama's eyes were in shock as I just held onto him.
"Don't you ever disappear on me like that again, do you here me?" I said strongly as I held him.
Kurama's body trembled as he muffled a mournful apology into the base of my neck. He was soft, a little cold but soft. The fragrance of his hair filled my senses, I loved it, I wanted to bath in it. The feeling Kurama made me feel when he was around was overwhelming, I loved it, that's why if anything were to happen to him I wouldn't have been able to bear it.
"What happened?" I finally asked.
The response I received was a shocker, the sound he made was somewhat between a sob and a cry as he finally broke down into my arms. His grip tightened around me as he burred his face into the base of my neck. I have never once in my whole life had seen someone break down, and now to have seen it from from the person I treasured, it pained me.
"It's ok." I said "Everything is going to be alright, I swear it!" I said as I slowly lifted the boys face to look at me. Gorgeous tearful green eyes stared back at me, I swear if it wasn't for that something bad had happened I would have claimed his trembling rosy red lips. Now determined, I took the fox into my arms. He didn't struggle nor attempt to protest as I carried him up the stairs. I entered the house, Kuwabara was asleep. Kurama hid his face in my chest as I locked the door and took him to my room to put him to sleep. I gently placed him on my bed and was about to let go when I noticed that Kurama did not release his grip on me.
"I'm so sorry." he whispered into my ear.
"Your exhausted." I explained to him. The fox was noticeably shaken up, laying down next to him I did the only thing I could do... keep him company. "I won't leave till your asleep." I said to him in effort to comfort him.
The fox closed his eyes completely exhausted. "Then I won't sleep." he whispered through slightly closed lips.
I smiled, honestly I wanted to take advantage over Kurama, but I could never do that to one of my friends. Keeping him close I whispered as gently as I could in his ear.
"Your just exhausted." I said.
The fox looked at me with a peculiar expression and did something I have always dreamed of yet have never expected. He pressed his lips against mine, my eyes opened wide then slowly closed into the passionate kiss. The fox was more than what I had expected him to be, I honestly didn't want the kiss to end. Our breathing increased as something slipped between my mouth, Kurama held onto me tightly. I wanted him, I wanted him so badly, but I wanted him more if he was awake.
