STORY STORY STORY

Hiei picked up the phone and growled. "Jaganshi."

"Hello, Kasumara Kuronue (thank you Chaseha-Wing!!!) Speaking. Maybe you don't remember me, but I'm the policeman, that was there because of Kurama."

Hiei remembered the man; he remembered how the man held Kurama. He couldn't stop the anger that was rising in him. "And what do you want?"

"I just… I mean I talked to him, but… isn't he there?"

Hiei was silent for a while and could hear the other holding his breathe. "…No."

"Damn, he's missing, his cell is off and -"

Hiei heard the concerned voice and growled. "That's not my problem!" He yelled and hung up the phone. His hands were clenched in fists and he was breathing heavily. He didn't know why he just did that; he didn't know why he was so mad. Damn that cop. Hiei then frowned. But why didn't I just tell him…? He sighed frustrated and plopped down into the chair next to the phone, putting his head in his hands. Stupid boy… He couldn't believe it. He was… jealous?

"Brother is something wrong?"

Hiei looked up at Yukina and shook his head. "No, of course not."

Yukina frowned a bit, but nodded. Hiei stood up and frowned at his sister. "Shouldn't you be with Detective's girlfriend?"

Yukina shrugged. "I should, but I don't want to anymore."

Hiei arched an eyebrow. "Liar."

"But-"

"Just go." When Yukina gave him a doubtful look Hiei rolled his eyes. "I won't kill him." Then added with little smirk. "If it'll be too bad I'll just knock him out again."

Yukina frowned but Hiei didn't miss the smile that was tugging at her lips. "Hiei Jaganshi, don't you dare!" Then she smiled and hugged him. "Thank you brother."

Hiei let a little smile cross his face, but then gently pushed the girl away. "You'd be stupid if you wouldn't go to the celebration you prepared."

Yukina playfully pouted then smiled.

-------------

Kurama put the soup down on the table next to the bed. He was cold and his head was hurting again. With a shiver he pulled the blanket closer to himself. Damn he was really stupid. Sitting in the rain like that. But back then… he didn't really care. The only thing on his mind was… his mother. And the knowledge he couldn't help her. What kind of a son was he?! He should find a way… he should… do something… anything. Kurama shook his head, it would be really stupid from him to do that and now… now he was bothering Hiei. Hiei… he blushed a bit. What was that with Hiei before? When Hiei leaned down to… to- Kurama shook his head again. Yeah sure, Hiei would want to kiss him. He was sure it was just the fever playing tricks on his mind.

Kurama lifted his head when he heard a knock on the doors. "Yes?"

Yukina walked in. "Hello Shuichi. I just brought you these." She showed him some pyjamas. "Your clothes are not dry yet, and I thought that you may be uncomfortable like that so…"

Kurama nodded. "Thank you Yukina-san." When Yukina gave him the look he smiled. "Yukina."

Yukina smiled too. "That's better." She handed him the pyjamas. "I just hope you don't mind that these are Hiei's, but they are just too big for him. Yusuke bought them for Hiei to annoy him."

Kurama took the pyjamas and blushed. "I… I don't mind."

"Hn. You don't have a reason to."

Yukina and Kurama looked to the doors and spotted Hiei. Kuramas eyes widened as he thought back, Hiei leaning down… He quickly averted his eyes from Hiei's.

Hiei noticed then smirked a bit and looked at his sister. "Your things are in car already."

Yukina smiled. "Oh, thank you. I just was saying good bye to Shuichi."

"What?" Kurama blinked and looked at Yukina.

"I'm going to a friend. She's getting married soon and we prepared a little party for her."

Shuichi looked over at Hiei. "I'm sorry if-"

Hiei rolled his eyes. "Before you say anything – it's only for women."

Kurama smiled a little and mischievous light was shining in his eyes. "But… maybe you like going on such an events?"

Yukina giggled and turned to her brother. "If it's so brother, I'm sure Keiko and Botan wouldn't mind if you'd go too."

Hiei growled and the two laughed.

Yukina smiled. "Okay, but back to the point. Goodbye Shuichi." She hugged him and Shuichi's eyes widened.

Goodbye Shuichi…

Shuichi…

Goodbye Shuichi…

Mother…Kurama felt a tear running down his cheek.

-------------------------------------

Hiei watched as Yukina hugged Kurama. She then turned to him and hugged him as well. He said bye to his sister and would have escorted her down if he didn't notice that stunned expression at redheads face. He didn't want to discompose his sister so he didn't say a word, but after she left he turned to the boy only to see a tear running down his face.

He frowned a bit. "What's wrong?"

Kurama looked up at him with watery eyes. Hiei couldn't help himself and suddenly found himself brushing away boys' tears. He then asked again. "What's wrong?"

Shuichi closed his eyes and didn't pull away from the gentle touch. Then he said so quietly that Hiei almost didn't hear him. "I- I was just thinking… about a few… few things… a- and mother…"

"She'll be all right." Hiei was surprised when he said that. He didn't know why he was doing it; normally he didn't give a damn about peoples' emotions with exception of his sister of course. But this boy… this redhead… he didn't want him to feel bad. What the hell did that mean? His train of thoughts was interrupt by a gentle voice.

"Thank you Hiei." Kurama smiled a bit.

"Hn. Don't be stupid." Hiei turned around and walked to the door, but before he opened them he turned back to the redhead. "You should eat that." He said noticing to the soup on the bedside table.

Kurama looked at the bowl. "I'm not really hungry."

"Don't make me force it down your throat." Hiei growled and walked out.

Shuichi gulped. He wouldn't… would he? He didn't know but he sure didn't feel as to finding out. He took the bowl from the table and slowly sank the spoon into the soup and ate. After he finished he put the bowl back, he quickly changed in the pyjamas that Yukina brought and lay down. His eyes slowly closed and sleep claimed him…

---------------------------

Sometime later redhead's eyes opened again. Kurama felt better, his head didn't hurt anymore and the fever was gone... He closed his eyes again hoping to get back to sleep, but he couldn't. With a sighed he sat up and looked at the bowl that was sitting at the nightstand. He stood up, thankful for the pyjamas and took the bowl. He was sure he wasn't going to sleep anytime soon, so he can as well take it down, couldn't he?

Even thought it was dark, he was successfully avoiding from bumping into something. He knew this house before so he knew where he was going. Kurama was standing at the top of the stairs when he heard whispered voices.

"Oh, Kuwabara don't be such a chicken."

"But do you really think that this is a good idea? What if we'll mistake someone else for him?"

"Don't worry; Hiei's the only one here."

Hiei…Kurama frowned. The voices were coming closer and the redhead instinctively stepped back to the shadows.

"But…"

"Just shut up. Do you have that knife?"

A knife?! Kurama could see the two silhouettes near to him. He was afraid… but not because they might hurt him. No, he was afraid because… I won't allow them to hurt Hiei. Hiei helped him so much; now it was his turn.

He gripped the bowl in his hand tighter and when one of those men was close enough he hit him with it. The sound of the bowl breaking could be heard along with a 'thud' as the person fell to ground.

"What?!" The second one yelled and when he noticed Kurama he tried to punch him.

The redhead dodged the fist and kicked a knife from mans' grip He crept down and with a swift motion managed to kick the man into stomach when suddenly the lights turned on.

"What the hell is going on here?" Kurama turned a bit and spotted Hiei.

Hiei looked at Kurama then at the person kneeling in front of him, holding his stomach. "Detective?" He then looked to the right when he heard a moan. He wasn't sure how long it was from when Yukina left but he noticed that outside was dark already. Noticing Kuwabara there he turned back to the two. "What the hell-?"

Kurama blinked. "Do you know them?"

Yusuke stood up with a little problem. "Of course he knows us! We're his friends!"

Hiei looked at Yusuke. "I never said that."

Yusuke rolled his eyes. "Damn you Hiei."

Kurama couldn't stop himself from blinking again as he looked at Yusuke. "B-but… you wanted to… the knife-"

Yusuke blinked then chuckled picking up the knife and squeezing it. "You mean this? It's made from gum."

"Oh." Kurama blushed. "I-I'm sorry then. I didn't know…"

"You… You really thought-?" Yusuke laughed and then rubbed his sore stomach. "Damn but your kick is at least as hard as Keikos' slap." He then turned to Hiei and motioned to the redhead. "Uhm… by the way who is he?"

Hiei sweatdropped. "His name's Kurama."

The boy frowned a bit. "Actually it's Minamino Shuichi."

"Nah – Kurama is better. I'm Yusuke by the way." He patted redheads arm and Kurama winced. Yusuke looked surprised at the boy, while Hiei frowned and showed the Detective out of the way.

"You fool."

"What did I do?"

Hiei growled as he caught Kuramas hand rolling up the sleeve. Seeing the bandage on redheads' arm reddening Hiei sighed and gently pulled Kurama down the stairs. "Come."

When Yusuke saw what he did, he winced. "Sorry, I didn't know."

"Just shut up Detective." Hiei growled and even thought Kurama didn't need to be pulled anymore; he didn't release the boys' hand.

Kurama let the warm hand guide him down and looked at Yusuke. "It's all right." He then glanced back at forgotten man on the floor who was slowly sitting up. "Uhm… Shouldn't we take care of him?"

"Hn." Hiei didn't even turn around.

Yusuke looked back at Kuwabara before turning away. "Oh don't worry, he'll be all right."

Kurama smiled nervously. "But…"

Hiei rolled his eyes. "He's coming already." And really when Kurama looked back the orange haired man was on his feet.

"What was that about?" The man blinked and then spotting the group on the bottom of the stairs ran to them. "Hey wait for me!"

Hiei didn't stop just led them to living room and then disappeared into kitchen cabinet. Kurama sat down and when the doors closed after Hiei Kuwabara sat down beside the redhead. He stroked his head where Kurama hit him and glared at him. "What did you do that for?"

Kurama blushed a bit. "I'm sorry; I didn't know you were Hiei's friends. I'm really sorry um…"

Kuwabara grinned. "I'm the great Kazuma Kuwabara and I'm happy to meet you-"

"Minami-." Kurama began but before he could finish Yusuke interrupted him.

"It's Kurama." Then he turned to the redhead with a sympathetic look. "You know, if Hiei's going to take care of that," he motioned to boys wounded arm. "it's going to really hurt."

Kurama tilted his head. "What? I don't believe it." He shook his head. "Hiei's nice."

Yusuke blinked while Kuwabara sat there stunned. "Uhm… are we talking about the same Hiei here…?"

Kuwabara somehow got out of the shock and nodded. "Yeah, you can use so many words when it's about Hiei. Words like mean, scary, emotionless and so on but you won't find nice there…"

Kurama blinked and laughed. "You two are so funny."

Yusuke gave Kurama a grin. "Well if you think so." And Kuwabara was speechless.

Hiei came back and he walked over to Kurama and gently took his arm, bandaging it again, firmly but not so that the bandage was too tight. When he was done Kurama smiled. "Thank you."

Hiei nodded and stood taking the remaining bandages back to the cabinet and when he noticed those dumbfounded looks at the others two faces he raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything.

When he came back he sat down in the chair on the other side of the room and glared at Yusuke and Kuwabara. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Yusuke blinked a bit. "You don't remember? We arranged the visit long time ago!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You really don't remember. It was when Yukina said about that party for Keiko. We knew you would be alone so we said we'll come to see you."

Hiei frowned. "But I didn't agree."

"Of course you did! You said 'Just try it you fools.' So were here!" Yusuke said with a grin on his face.

Hiei growled and would snap at Detective if he didn't hear laughter. He looked to Kurama who was quietly laughing at the whole situation. He smiled a bit; it was really a nice sound. "What's so funny?"

Kurama chuckled. "Well they just couldn't ignore such a nice invitation, could they?"

Yusuke smirked, he liked this boy. Then he turned back to Hiei. "Yeah, and you wouldn't kick out friends, would you?"

Hiei had a strong urge to just do that, but redheads smile stopped him. Even though he didn't know why, Kurama seemed to like their presence. "Hn." He looked away, while Yusuke grinned.

"I knew that Hiei. You're such a great pal!"

"Hn. Don't try your luck Detective."

The redhead then asked Yusuke about working at police station and who, with interruptions from Kuwabara, told him about Hiei giving him that nickname. Hiei didn't really care for their conversation so he just simply watched the redhead. The light in his eyes and that smile playing on his face. He himself smiled softly, he wasn't sure before, but now he was… He'd do anything to keep that smile on boys' face, to keep him happy.

Hiei didn't notice Yusuke was staying next to him, till he didn't speak.

"So what's so special about him?" Yusuke asked sitting down next to Hiei.

Hiei glared at him. "What are you talking about?"

The Detective looked over to the redhead who was currently talking with Kuwabara. "You're sitting here all night and actually SMILING whenever your eyes land on this 'Shuichi'."

"You're hallucinating."

Yusuke shrugged. "Well, it's sure not that evil little smirk of yours."

Hiei growled. "Are you trying to get somewhere with this talk, Detective?"

The black haired boy looked back at Hiei. "You're not a type that goes around making friends Hiei. And with this boy… What is it, that's so special?"

Hiei was frowning at him for a while, but then sighed and looked at Kurama. "… I don't know. Maybe I'm falling for him."

Yusuke grinned. "Maybe? Falling? Come on Hiei, you already fell, pretty hard and with a loud 'thud'."

The redhead suddenly turned, looked at Hiei and smiled. "Maybe…"
