STORY STORY STORY
When Kurama opened his eyes he was lying on a bed. Sitting up, he yawned and looked around. It seemed he was in temple, and Hiei was nowhere to be seen. The redhead stood up, stretched and went out of the room. He heard voices coming from the main room and he quietly walked to the doors.
"… I don't care if you're going to marry my sister or not; you're a fool." Kurama smiled when he heard the angry voice of his fire demon. He chuckled; Hiei was probably talking to Kuwabara. Well, it really did seem that Hiei was willing to sacrifice himself for Kurama's sake. The fox smiled; Hiei was just too cute sometimes… He chuckled again and didn't pay attention to Kuwabaras hearted answer; instead he decided he'll rather go outside to the garden. Hopefully no one would be there. The redhead wanted some time to think. He sat down, leaning against the temple wall. Now that he was sure Hiei loved him, he was happy, and he knew he felt something for that fire demon too. Everyday he was more positive it was love… Yes… He loved Hiei, but… There was still that memory of Kuronue; the memory of Kuronue and him. And it was so similar to that with Hiei… Kurama was just scared; he just couldn't give his heart to anybody… Couldn't …. Because if he did… they'd just leave him in the end; and if Hiei left … He wasn't sure he could bear it. Kurama closed his eyes. Those stupid tears just wouldn't let him be nowadays…
"Hello Kurama." He heard a gentle voice.
Kurama opened his eyes and looked up. "Yukina… Hello."
"Is something wrong?" The girl asked and took a few steps towards him.
"No." He quickly shook his head, "nothing." Then the redhead smiled, "you're not inside with Hiei and Kuwabara?"
"Well…" Yukina smiled a bit. "I couldn't stay there anymore hearing their arguing."
Kurama laughed. "Yeah, they are sometimes like a married couple."
"I hope you're not talking about what I think you are." They heard a growl. When they turned, they saw Hiei standing in doorway.
Kurama winked at Yukina and then turned to the fire demon with innocent smile. "I don't understand Hiei. What do you think I'm talking about?" Yukina giggled and Hiei glared at him.
"Don't play stupid, Kurama." Hiei moved to them.
Kurama blinked. "Hiei I really don't know what you mean." He faked sigh. "You know I can't read your mind; I don't have the jagan like you do."
"Shut up." The demon growled and sat down.
Yukina giggled again. "You're wrong Kurama. I think a married couple behaves like you and Hiei."
Kurama blushed and Hiei smirked. His sister winked at him, "Really I don't understand it. People who're married love each other, so why should they argue?"
Kurama smiled. "It something humans came up with."
"Oh," Yukina frowned lightly then smiled again. "Okay, I have to go. Kazuma is probably waiting on me."
Hiei growled when he heard Kuwabara's name but Yukina and Kurama just laughed. After Yukina left, Kurama rested his head on Hiei's shoulder.
Hiei put his arm around the fox. "You know you could do this even when she was here."
"Yes." Kurama nodded. "But I didn't want to."
"Stupid fox." Hiei said rolling his eyes.
The redhead chuckled. "You know, it's almost a pet name now."
Hiei smirked a bit and leaned down to gently kiss his fox. "No if I was going to give you a pet name it will be 'My adorable darling'."
Kurama smiled and looked up at the fire demon. Didn't know Hiei was so sweet… "That's beautiful Hiei, but wouldn't it be too long?"
Hiei smirked and shook his head. "No. Shortly – Mad."
"Hiei!" Kurama pouted when Hiei snickered. "And here I was thinking about you being really sweet."
"What's wrong? I thought you like it Mad."
"Hiei…" Kurama frowned.
The fire demon smiled. "Okay, let's return to the Fox one."
"Thank you." Kurama smiled and Hiei pulled him to his lap. The redhead sighed and rested his back again Hieis chest.
"Kurama… May I ask you something?"
Kurama looked at the demon. What was it he felt in Hieis voice? "Sure."
Hiei wasn't looking at him. For a while he was just stroking Kuramas hair as if thinking about how to ask what he wanted to. "There are legends in Makai… Are they true?"
Kurama bit his bottom lip. "Most of the legends are partially true Hiei…"
"What about those about your lovers?"
The fox frowned. "What- about them?"
Hiei looked down at the redhead who now was looking on the ground. He could tell Kurama was being uncomfortable with his questions but he wanted to know… "They say that you had many of them-"Kurama was opening his mouth, wanting to say something but Hiei didn't let him. "-but I don't want to know that."
The fox looked at him from the corner of its eye. "Then what is it?"
"In Makai I heard one legend that wasn't like the others… It was saying about a person… a person that was special to you…"
Kurama looked away. "A person that I loved, you mean." He said quietly.
"…Yes." Kurama closed his eyes and chuckled. It wasn't a happy or mocking chuckle Hiei noticed and frowned.
"I'm sure you know that this person's name was Kuronue. Don't play stupid Hiei you know this very well; what is it that you really wanted to ask?"
Hiei stopped stroking Kuramas hair. "Were you two… mates?"
Kurama opened his eyes. Mates… Kurama remembered what relationship he had with Kuronue. He loved him there was no doubt about it. He loved Kuronue and Kuronue loved him, and they were happy together. Though Kurama never said the words 'I love you' to Kuronue… Well never? That wasn't true… He said it… that night for first time. And he remembered how happy Kuronue was… And after that last big stealth they wanted to become mates… But that night… Kuronue died… He died… was it all… my fault…? Kurama felt the tears in his eyes.
"Kurama?" A hesitant voice came.
Kurama blinked, Mates. "No we weren't." His voice was cold though he didn't want it to be. The tears were burning in his eyes. He quickly stood up and ran into the temple.
Hiei was stunned. "Kurama…" He stood up and wanted to go after his fox but a person stopped him.
"Let him be… He needs some time alone."
Hiei glared at the old woman before him. "What do you know about it." He went to the temple but suddenly he felt a hand on his wrist.
"Believe me – he has to fight this battle on his own. You can't help him." With that said the hand released him and Genkai went inside the temple.
Hiei was glaring after her…
------------------------------------------------------------
Kurama stopped at the room where he woke up. He fell down on the mattress and the tears began ran down his face. He remembered the night… and he remembered the promised he made as well…The promise he made in front of Kuronue's grave… I love you Kuronue, and I will love you forever. Maybe… Maybe if he didn't say those words… "Was it… all… my fault?"
"If you think that you're really stupid."
He looked up surprised. "Master Genkai?" H... How? He didn't hear the doors open.
"Your lover is worried about you." She said looking at the redhead.
Kurama looked down. "He doesn't need to."
"Whatever." She turned to doors and made a few steps towards it. Then she stopped. "You shouldn't let the past haunt you. It's past after all. You can't change what happened."
"So you're telling me to forget it?!"
"No." She shook his head. "There isn't a person who exists without a past; it's our past that's makes us what we are. Everything what happened to us forms our character. I never said you should forget. You have to learn from it and accept it, and stop blaming yourself for things that weren't really your fault."
"But it was my fault! It was me who wanted to go there! It was me who said the words… Everything was good until I-"
"It wasn't those words that killed him."
"But-"
"And I thought you were the intelligent one from your group, but it seems I was wrong. Even dimwit would understand that." The fox could feel anger in Genkais voice.
"You don't understand…" Kurama whispered.
"I do. More than you think. Blaming yourself won't help; you're just running from the real problem. Remember the past but don't let it influence your present happiness. That's what I learnt, and now it's your turn." And she left, leaving Kurama behind her.
"But…" The tears began to form in his eyes again. He couldn't stop them… He didn't really want to… Slowly he cried himself to sleep.
------------------------------------------
When he woke up it was dark, blinking he looked around; Hiei wasn't in the room. Slowly he stood up and quietly went to the doors not wanting to wake anybody. When he opened the doors he had to smile at the image in front of him. There was Hiei, sitting on the ground with his katana across his lap, with his back against the wall sleeping. He was so sweet, he chuckled softly; if he had a camera he was sure he'd take a few photos. He smiled again and not really thinking about Hiei being a fire demon; he took a blanket and covered Hiei with it. He gave Hiei a kiss on the forehead lightly so he wouldn't wake him, and went out in the garden. Genkai gave him some things to think about…
