"Where were you?!" The fiery eyed boy shouted. The fumes of his anger
almost plausible.
"Something came up." A melodious voice replied, the force used to surpress his tears unnoticed by the other demon.
"What?! We haven't seen each other in a month and 'Something came up', come now fox, you can think of something better then that." Came the annoyed reply.
Hiei shoved his hands in the loose pockets of his pants and slumped against the tree, silently and death-defiantly aware of everything around him.
"No." The magenta suited boy responded, a firm note of finality trying to impress itself on the monosyllable he answered with.
"What? No big, long rant over your thoughts? No long, sappy speech on how important it is to share your emotions?" The fire demon's temper grew with each forced word. Something was being kept from his knowledge and he didn't approve.
"This isn't something I want to talk about," the ever cool voice replied, yet again the tones and crescendos used in his voice gone unheard by the demon.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" The dumbstruck boy shouted "How hypocritical!" he snorted "Just like you - you.. humans!" he turned his back on Kurama and jumped off into the distance.
~~oO@Oo~~
"Damn that fox!" Hiei yelled out to the trees. "God! He irritates me!" The small demon expressed his annoyance, quickly hoping from one tree to another. "You'd think it would kill him to be straight forward. NO! Everything has to be a secret." He finally collapsed in on himself in the shaded branches of a tall birch tree. "Stupid clown"
"Oh..I don't think I'm that high maintenance," came the smooth voice from below the tree. "You sure are fast, demon boy"
"That's because I was trying to get away from you," Hiei muttered, trying to control his anger, and not lash out on his beloved. The small leaves rustled as he shifted his weight on the branch.
"Oh! That hurt," he pressed, sarcasm etching it's way into his words
"Don't joke, fox, why don't you ever..share?"
"This coming from the one who hardly ever talks," Kurama laughed at his own joke, but continued in a serious tone:
"Some things you have to deal with on your own, Hiei. I don't think I can talk about it, you know?"
"You stupid humans and your emotions..they're too complicated"
Kurama hopped, gracefully, up to Hiei's level, crouched down and placed a small kiss on the demon's cheek
"I know, my heart, but this is how it is...love it or leave it," Kurama smiled at the growing blush on Hiei's cheeks, "You're too easy to tease." Kurama cupped Hiei's face in his own hands "I love you, Hiei, no one else, got it?" The fox was determined to express how he felt to the other. "I would do anything for you. I would give up my life, my family, my mother, everything! Don't you ever forget, ok?"
Hiei bowed his head and muffled a small yes.
"Say it once more."
"Yes, ok?!" He felt like he was being lectured by his mother.
"Better, but you'll have to make it up to me later." Kurama gave a coquettish flutter of his lashes and smiled impishly.
Hiei smirked and raised his head, the rose colouring gone. "You have to catch me first!" with the short reply, he dashed off into the distance, leaving a grinning, redheaded boy alone.
