Hi, Lily here. Sorry for such a late update. Writers block and all…
Kurama nearly fell to the floor in shock.
Mission?
How could they assign him on a mission when he was in this state?
Did they want him to kill somebody?
"W- What?" His shaken, soft voice broke the deafening silence between the two.
"We have a mission, Kurama." The others red eyes bore into him determinedly, "Now…"
Kurama took in a sharp breath before staring back at the fire demon. These were the eyes that feared him, yet trusted him so much. His expression was easy to read that it almost hurt the fox to see them.
Fear…
Anxiety…
Hope?
"Hiei," He whispered quietly, "I don't think I can do this…"
Hiei held back a growl, "Kurama you can do this, its night time anyway and we won't be near humans."
Kurama thought for a while.
What if they came across humans?
It was highly unlikely but why take chances?
"Why do you need me there?"
Silence.
The fox reconsidered the facts, if they were far from humans there was still Hiei. He had not forgotten the delicious scent slowly filling the room. What if he went mad and attacked Hiei? What if Hiei came a little too close and he had to pounce?
But, would he ever hurt Hiei?
"Kurama, of course we need you. We always need you…" The fire demon turned away.
He sounded like he was talking for himself…
If the fox could he would have blushed…
How could he ever hurt Hiei?
"Alright," He finally breathed, trying to ignore the increasingly strong smell, "I'll come with you…"
The fire demon sighed in relief; he then jumped out the window, signaling Kurama to follow.
The fox followed, praying he would not lose himself tonight…
Hiei's POV
The street lamps shined poorly as I ran past them, listening to the running footsteps following me.
What was he thinking right now?
I took a left turn through the empty streets, it was so silent. I couldn't hear the owls hoot or the mouse scurry. Everything seemed to cower when they hear the running from behind me…
I was shaking again…
I was very sure Kurama could hear my speeding heart as I ran ahead of him, hear my breathing grow harsher, hear my feet grow more frantic as I ran.
Like a predator…
The more I thought about this the faster my heartbeat paced.
Was I really that scared?
I was so caught up in my thinking that I didn't see Yusuke telling me to stop.
I slammed into him painfully and he fell backwards on the pavement.
"Woah, Hiei," He moaned in pain, "Watch where you're going."
I heard the footsteps behind me halt; I got up quickly and turned towards him.
He was so beautiful…
His hair flowed vibrantly and swayed with the wind, his weary beautiful face was white and almost glowing. His green eyes stared at me sullenly before staring at Yusuke and smiling.
"Hello Yusuke."
The detective got awkwardly before waving back, "Yo!"
"Where's the fool?" I managed to ask Yusuke.
"Kuwa couldn't wake up, that idiot." Yusuke laughed.
"What is the mission?" Kurama whispered quietly.
Yusuke stared into Kurama before smiling widely.
"We're going to catch a vampire…"
There it is, please review! Sorry for the lateness!
