8: Kurama POV (Kuwabarra to Yukina)

Hiei's eyes caught my own, and I shook my head, feeling sorry for all of them. He often declared love only for her beauty, knowing Nothing about her. He had done so from the beginning. Hiei could not be too defensive without admitting reason, and Yukina was simply too polite to pull away. But she was not a stupid woman. She pulled her hands away, busying herself with some meaningless task while a human proclaimed his love.

Even if she did love him...she would outlive him by centuries. She looked to me for explanation and I looked away, feeling cowardly. How could I tell him that she wouldn't even be an adult until her 200th year? She was still a baby, and He was 21.

Still, when all those gentle hearts (Hiei; unwilling to be truthful, Yukina; afraid to hurt Kazuma; very much in love.) met, I sighed and shook my head. Thousands of years had not prepared me for giving painful advice .
