****************************
A week had gone by. No actualy demon attacks had taken place, part from the usual demon here and there. Nothing the group couldn't handle. They were all gathered at Genkai's temple, with regretful looks on their faces. Out of all of them, Kurama's face was the most regretful. Hiei was leaving, returning to New York.
"I can't believe you're going back. We really could use you here," Yusuke complained. Hiei looked over at him.
"Do you really think I want to go back there?!" he snarled.
"Hey, I never said anything like that!"
"Well, you should've just kept your mouth shut, you stupid, worthless human."
"SAY THAT AGAIN! I DARE YA!"
"Stupid. Worthless. Human."
Yusuke balled his hands into fists and began to go towards Hiei. Kuwabara stopped him though, grabbing his arm and throwing him back, restraining him against a wall.
"Chill out Urameshi!"
"Let me go Kuwabara!"
"Yes, let him go, you big oaf," Hiei sneered. "Let the stupid human come and get what's coming to him."
Kurama put an arm around Hiei's shoulders and pulled him extremely close, leaning his head down and resting in against Hiei's neck.
"Ssh, there's no need for this at the moment," he whispered softly, wrapping his other hand around the fire demon's waist and rubbing his side calmly. Hiei almost purred.
"I'm sorry Kurama..." he muttered. Kurama smiled and sat down on the couch nearby. Hiei looked down at him, before sitting next to him and buring his face in the redhead's shoulder. He was trying not cry, or at least trying to hide it. Kurama's emerald eyes grew soft and he ran his hand across Hiei's back to comfort him. Holding the smaller youkai very close to his body, he looked up at Yusuke.
"Yusuke, now is not the time for such behavior. Save it for the demons we must fight, alright?" he requested in his usual, calm voice. Hiei's grip on Kurama grew tighter as his body began to shake. Botan walked in the room and saw.
"Is he crying?" she whispered to Kuwabara. He nodded.
"I think so..." He released his grip on Yusuke, and the spirit detective's anger blew out the window when he realized that Hiei really was crying. He also saw Kurama lay his head on top of Hiei's and close his eyes, a few tears coming out as well.
"They both are," he muttered. The other two looked over and saw this. Botan almost looked like she was going to cry as well. She covered her mouth with one hand, whispered 'I'm sorry....', and rushed out of the room. By this time, Yukina had already talked with her brother and went off before she began crying. Genkai had said little, but it was a goodbye, and went to make rooms for the team, who planned to stay there for a while. Koenma had been and gone, having some quick business to work on with his father.
Kuwabara glanced from the two youkais holding one another to Yusuke.
"You think we should just leave them alone?" Kuwabara asked quietly. Yusuke shrugged.
"Dunno. Perhaps they wanna be by themselves..." They both nodded and walked off, leaving Kurama and Hiei alone.
"Kurama...." Hiei whispered slightly. Kurama pulled back, wiping his eyes, then Hiei's.
"We both know this must be done. If it becomes possible, you must keep in contact with me as much as you can."
"Same to you, fox." Hiei said quietly. Kurama leaned in and kissed him very passionately. Hiei slowly closed his crimson eyes and returned the kiss, leaning into Kurama slightly, one hand around the youko's waist, the other one resting lightly on his thigh, very close to his crotch. Kurama's hand went to the back of Hiei's neck and he held the smaller demon in place, extending the kiss deeper.
Hiei pulled back slightly. After all, even demons need to breathe. He bent his head down and bit at the buttons of Kurama's shirt. His teeth, being as sharp as they were, easily made the fabic tear back, exposing Kurama's bare chest. Hiei smirked, liking the view, before going in and kissing his chest, occasionally nipping lightly. Kurama shivered in pleasure as the fire demon worked. Hiei went lower and lower, until he reached Kurama's stomach. He glanced down, then began kissing the redhead's stomach as he lowered his hands down and began to unbutton the pants that were under his chin. Kurama bit his lip, his back arching slightly. Finally, Hiei got the pants undone and pushed them down, going down even further to let Kurama know how skilled his mouth could be.
Kurama moaned quietly, his eyes shutting tight as his head rolled back some in the pleasure he was getting from his lover. He could feel Hiei's warm, quick tongue against him. Finally, he grabbed the black hair and lifted Hiei's head until they became level. Hiei gave him a questioning look.
"Why'd you stop me?"
"Listen," he said quietly. Hiei listened intently and heard footsteps, getting closer.
"Dammit." He pulled back as Kurama quickly buttoned his shirt and pants and sat upright. They both wiped their foreheads and tried to look as if nothing had happened. Hiei leaned on Kurama. "Just when it was getting good too."
"I know...But would you rather get caught?"
"Of course not."
A moment later, Botn came in, her eyes slightly red. She went over to the two youkai.
"Hiei...It's time. You told me to come and tell you," she said quietly. Hiei nodded and stood slowly, Kurama standing as well.
"I'll be there in a moment." Botan nodded and walked off. Hiei faced Kurama.
"Kurama, I-" he was stopped when Kurama pulled him into a passionate kiss.
"You have to keep in touch somehow," the fox whispered, almost making Hiei melt in his boots.
"I can try, fox, but this is slightly a war," he whispered back. "I don't know how well I'll be able to do so, but even if I can't I'll never forget you. I will be back some day, that I can promise."
"He pushed some stray pieces of hair behind Kurama's ear, brushing his index finger lightly across his soft cheek. Kissing him swiftly, he looked into those green eyes, reached up an kissed him again, more passionate this time, ran a hand gently down his chest. Kurama nuzzled him slightly. Then, a moment later, Hiei stepped back and turned to leave before it got harder.
"Wait," Kurama spoke. The fire demon stopped and turned again, quickly catching a perfect red rose. "Keep that with you. Never let it go. I'll always be with you."
A few tears fell from Hiei's eyes and onto his hand, turning into two deep red/black gems. He tossed them at the redhead, who catched them gracefully.
"Same to you with those, fox. All the tears in the world I'd shed will never be as special as those two. Never get them anywhere except next to you. I will be back, I promise you." He then tossed him a necklace from around his neck. It was a light blue gem attached to a gold chain. "That is very special to me. When this war is over, I'll be coming back here, to Tokyo, to get that back from you. I'd die before that was destroyed. You better take real good care of it, or i'll wring you neck."
Kurama smiled, putting the necklace around his neck, and nodded. Hiei seemed to smile some himself.
"Don't forget the necklace."
"I won't. I'll come back for it when I'm done fighting. I swear it."
He darted up, gave Kurama another sweet kiss, kissed his neck, and closed his hand around the two gems.
"Ai shiteru, always." He then turned and darted off. Kurama stood there for a moment, before collapsing on the couch and holding his face, crying. Botan stepped in quietly, watching him for a moment, then went over and sat next to him, pulling him into an embrace.
"It's alright Kurama. Hiei'll be back, I know he will. He's a tough guy. He won't die." Kurama nodded.
"I guess you're right..." he sighed, wiping his eyes.
"Come on, you need sleep. Genkai has a bed fixed for you."
She helped him stand and took his hand, making him follow her out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiei had been bounding across towns all night, finally reaching his hotel room. The same as when he left it, except fot a piece of paper. Setting his stuff down, all except for the rose he was still clutching in his right hand, he walked over and picked up the note.
'Hiei-
When you return from your visit in Tokyo, call my cell phone at 527-6390. (AN: I don't believe that's a real number. I just put in some numbers. If you want, though, you can call it! Even if it is real, DO NOT ask for Ripper! I guarantee you he won't be answering.)
Sincerely,
-Ripper'
Sighing, he picked up the phone, dialed the number, kept the conversation real short, and hung the phone up again. After all, he hated Ningen contraptions. They were too complicated. Still keeping the rose tight in his hand, ignoring the thorns, which were surprisingly not cutting him, he stretched out on the large, fluffy bed and fell asleep almost instantly. After all, a battle would begin soon, and he needed his rest.
**About...let's say...seven months later...***
(AN: I know...I sped time up real fast...Thing is, there are some parts I gotta get to and I dunno what to put in the seven month time span. Alright, I'll continue now. Back to the story!)
Hiei pulled out his sword, dodging a large attack and countering, but barely slicing the large youkai. Ripper and a few others that had joined were a little ways away, also fighting their share of demons. He flipped back, landing gently on his knees, allowing the last of his demons to fall into two pieces, and smirked. He didn't even see it coming. Quickly, he checked in his pocket and sighed in relief, seeing the perfect red rose he had kept for seven whole months, sitting securely where he left it that morning.
Standing again, he ran towards the others, as if to offer his services to them as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Spirit Gun!" Yusuke screamed once more, taking out five demons at once. Their high-pitched screams filled the air.
Kurama darted past him, armed with his trusty rose whip, and lashed at a few others. It wasn't long before they were destroyed.
"Spirit Sword!" Kuwabara was doing his share as well. Also fighting were Yukina, who had frozen a great number of them, and Botan, who had some sort of energy whip herself, which she was very good with.
Barely dodging a youkai's claws, Kurama fought furiously. He was always careful though, that the two necklaces he wore were never touched. Both had gold chains, one held a light blue gem, a gift from his lover, the other held a dark red gem, one which he would treasure for the rest of his existance.
*
The fighting was over. For the day, anyway. Botan was healing a wound Yusuke had gotten, and Kuwabara was checking on Yukina. Kurama sat down on a large rock and sighed, staring out at the sky. One hand played with the dark red gem lightly. After a moment, botan came over and sat beside him.
"You heard from him lately?" she asked quietly. He shook his head.
"No, but I'm sure he's just as busy as us right now."
"I'm sure you're right."
"Don't worry Kurama," Kuwabara added. "I'm sure Shorty is kicking the begezus out of some big huge monster right now!"
"Begeezus?" Yusuke raised an eyebrow.
"Shut up Urameshi!"
"Now now boys..." Yukina chuckled, sitting near the rock Kurama and Botan were on. Kurama stood up after a moment.
"What are you doing?" Yusuke asked, getting serious.
"I know Hieie doesn't really listen to the radio...but there's always that chance...I have to go do something."
With nothing else said, the fox demon ran off towards the nearest phone, leaving the others behind, extremely puzzled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiei was back in his hotel room, listening to a radio station that Kurama made him hear once at his place. It was some request day or something....
"And the next song being played is a request from a said Suuichi to one known as Hiei," the radio announcer stated. Hiei blinked and shot up in the bed, staring at the radio. "The message is 'It's been a while Hiei-kun, I hope you're doing alright. If this doesn't reach you, at least a tried. Ai shiteru.' And now, here's the song!"
Hiei listened intently.
/You don't remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do...
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me
Have you forgotten all I know and all we had
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me
I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me/
Hiei blinked quietly, still staring at the radio, even though it had switched to a different song.
"Kurama...." he muttered, pulling out the red rose that was still in his pocket. Catching the number of the station, he jotted it down, thought up a song good for the occasion and he knew that Kurama liked and a message to go along with it, and headed for his phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama had borrowed his mother's car... Only because he needed to go to the store, since she couldn't at the moment, and didn't want to walk. He was, once again, listening to his radio station, wondering if Hiei had heard his message.
After a few minutes, one of his favorite songs came on the air, and he couldn't help but sing along with it.
/I hold you in my arms
Yeah that's where it starts
I seek faith in your kiss
And comfort in your heart
I taste the seed upon your lips
Lay my tongue upon your scars
But when I look into your eyes
We stand worlds apart
Where the distant oceans sing
And rise to the plain
In this dry and troubled country
Your beauty remains
Down from the moutain roads
Where the highway rolls to dark
'Neath Allah's blessed rain
We remain worlds apart
Sometimes the trut just ain't enough
Or it's too much in times like this
Let's throw the truth away
We'll find it in this kiss
In your skin upon my skin
In the beating of our hearts
May the living let us in
Before the dead tear us apart
We'll let blood build a bridge
Over mountains draped in stars
I'll meet you in the ridge
Between these worlds apart
We've got this moment now to live
Then it's all just dust and dark
Let love give what it gives
Lets let love give what it gives/
Kurama smiled as the song faded off. Then the radio announcer began to talk.
"That, folks, was Worlds Apart by none other than Bruce Springsteen. It's also a part of our request song week. This song was requested by Hiei, to Suuichi. And here's the message: 'I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch, koi.You understand how busy it's been lately. I've thought of you every day since we parted seven months ago, and I still have the beautiful red rose you had given me. Hang in there, I will return to Tokyo soon, I swear it. Ai shiteru.' Wow, we have ourselves a love story..."
He continued talking, but Kurama had drowned it out. That was from Hiei... His Hiei.
Not being a smart fox demon, he stared at the radio, not the road. There was a loud honk from a huge semi-truck. Kurama jerked his head up, grabbed the wheel and swerved. He spun for a time, then slammed into a large tree. Not long thereafter, the semi that had been honking turned suddenly, tipped, and fell right on top of the car. Glass and metal shattered. Cars stopped abruptly for miles.
Kurama sat there under the weight of the large truck, stunned. His Hiei had spoken to him. Had heard his message. A little bit of blood trickled down his face, and he finally fell foreward.
"Ai shiteru, Hiei-kun..." he whispered, clutching the dark red gem tightly, and falling into unconsiousness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ceari: I said things were getting down to the nitty gritty!!
Kurama: -_- Another cliffhanger....?!
Hiei: *major pout* NOT COOL! HOW DARE YOU HURT MY BELOVED FOX!!
Ceari: Hey hey hey, don't jump on my case, fire demon. Sheesh!

And rise to the plain
In this dry and troubled country
Your beauty remains
Down from the moutain roads
Where the highway rolls to dark
'Neath Allah's blessed rain
We remain worlds apart
Sometimes the trut just ain't enough
Or it's too much in times like this
Let's throw the truth away
We'll find it in this kiss
In your skin upon my skin
In the beating of our hearts
May the living let us in
Before the dead tear us apart
We'll let blood build a bridge
Over mountains draped in stars
I'll meet you in the ridge
Between these worlds apart
We've got this moment now to live
Then it's all just dust and dark
Let love give what it gives
Lets let love give what it gives/
Kurama smiled as the song faded off. Then the radio announcer began to talk.
"That, folks, was Worlds Apart by none other than Bruce Springsteen. It's also a part of our request song week. This song was requested by Hiei, to Suuichi. And here's the message: 'I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch, koi.You understand how busy it's been lately. I've thought of you every day since we parted seven months ago, and I still have the beautiful red rose you had given me. Hang in there, I will return to Tokyo soon, I swear it. Ai shiteru.' Wow, we have ourselves a love story..."
He continued talking, but Kurama had drowned it out. That was from Hiei... His Hiei.
Not being a smart fox demon, he stared at the radio, not the road. There was a loud honk from a huge semi-truck. Kurama jerked his head up, grabbed the wheel and swerved. He spun for a time, then slammed into a large tree. Not long thereafter, the semi that had been honking turned suddenly, tipped, and fell right on top of the car. Glass and metal shattered. Cars stopped abruptly for miles.
Kurama sat there under the weight of the large truck, stunned. His Hiei had spoken to him. Had heard his message. A little bit of blood trickled down his face, and he finally fell foreward.
"Ai shiteru, Hiei-kun..." he whispered, clutching the dark red gem tightly, and falling into unconsiousness.
