Pieces of Me
Chapter Two
//I hear a voice
Within the hope and hesitation
I clearly hear your voice calling out to me//
POV: Hiei
I knew the look the kitsune had in his eyes when he discovered I had vanished although I was not there... I could sense the look of betrayal his own voice had been to him. That's why it's better to stay quiet... You shouldn't trust your voice... It might... Do something drastic like that.
I knew I couldn't return now... Not to Kurama's house. Not to look into his emerald eyes. I don't think he could look into mine either... Not now. "Damn fox..." I muttered under my breath, as I wandered aimlessly around town.. I had nowhere to go. Nowhere to stay. Not that it was of any importance that I go anywhere. Yusuke, didn't need my assistance, Kuwabara... Well he was with Yukina... I let her name slip onto my tongue. My mouth betraying me much in the same way as Kurama's... But not as severe. There's no one here to witness my words... So why does it matter? It doesn't... Yukina.. She'll never know.
In part I knew that Kurama was right. I should tell Yukina who I am... But when she looks at me, my heart begins... To race. Which never happens... My sister... My only family. Kurama used to tell me, looking into her eyes was like looking into mine. The same soft crimson eyes... I banish those thoughts. Thinking about Kurama... It makes a strange feeling come over me. He said those things... And I angered him. I angered the peaceful, Kurama... That has never happened to my knowledge... I sighed, getting up from the tree I had been crouching in. I leapt down landing cat like, on the ground. I don't even know where I am anymore... Not that it matters... I can't go back. Never. I'll wander for as long as I can, and then I guess I'll just go back to the Makai... I could hear something around the corner of the alley, so I followed the noise.
//Today, tomorrow, and forever into the future
Even if everything were to perish
I will find you//
To my complete surprise, I saw Kurama... And he was being beaten up by demons.. I could sense their Youkai, which was extremely strong for such low level demons. But not as strong as Kurama's... Why is he just standing there and allowing them to beat him down?! That's not like Kurama... Even a high class demon like him, can be killed if he doesn't defend himself... But then I sensed it. Kurama didn't want to live. For some reason... He was letting them kill him... I usually wouldn't have interfered... With something like this. But I.. Couldn't help it. Something in me snapped, and I lunged, drawing my katana. I killed the demons easily. As Kurama could. He looked up at me, his eyes widening. "Wh-why, did you do that!? You should have left me... Left me to die." This wasn't the usual behavior the demon demonstrated... He was cold. So distant...
"Hn..." I made my usual response, not knowing any other words that would express myself... I was startled, when Kurama's hand slid across my face... He had slapped me. Never before, had the demon dared to something such as this to me. Never.
"You crush me, then I try to get away from it, and you won't even let me do that!? What's wrong with you?!? Can't you just leave me alone?!" His voice was hoarse... I could tell he was trying not to let the tears slip through his emerald eyes. Kurama, no matter what the cost would not openly cry in front of me. Not that I blamed him. Damn, I would never cry. Crying is a sign of weakness. A weakness, I could never afford to show.
"I'm sorry." Those where the only words, that would slip through my lips. I had nothing else to say, hell, I hadn't even thought I'd run into Kurama. It wasn't my intent... But it was the outcome.
"Sorry? You don't need to apologize... I don't need your sympathy. You should just leave me be!" So bitter. He sounded like me.
"...Hmm... You're starting to... sound like me..." I voiced my thoughts, softly, my words tainting the night air.
Kurama staggered up, leaning against the building. He didn't have much strength. Without thinking, I helped him to his feet. Kurama flinched, drawing away, and collapsing. I sighed. "You aren't going to make it, like that.." I stated.
"I don't care..." Kurama had never acted so recklessly or spoken in such a manner. Had.. Had I affected him so much..? I really had crushed the demon.
"Kurama-chan... Come on." I persisted, using a nickname he often used on me, which I had never returned... Until now.
He seemed to brighten up. "You... don't hate me...?" I looked away. "You, startled me." Was all I said, as I draped his arm around my shoulder, helping him walk.
"Hiei.." He said, as I released him onto his bed. He flopped down, his eyes closed. He looked his age then, those hundreds of years, he had been alive... I didn't respond, put strode, over to his window seat, where I sat. "Hiei... Do you..."
