Kurama sat by the warm fire in the small temple. A book left open on his
lap, he looked lazily into the burning flames. He smiled at the memory of
his small demon, how he fought against all odds, and almost always won.
A cold gust of autumn breeze filled the room and Kurama looked up to find an open window. He smiled and stood up, walking closer, he encircling a small, wiry haired boy, with the warmth of his body.
"Hey you," He said in a quiet voice, not wanting to disrupt Genkai's sleep.
"Kurama, do you remember our..uh discussion a week ago?" Hiei backed away so he could look into Kurama's warm green eyes.
Kurama giggled a little "Hiei, darling, that was an argument, and yes I remember, why?"
"Well since then you've been somewhat..melancholy, I want to know what's wrong." The inarticulate demon fumbled for the right words, never being able to talk easily, he tried to force out his demands. "And I've noticed, you've spent less time at home, with your mother and family, all you ever used to talk about was your human family."
"I'm sorry Hiei, it's not something I really want to discuss.." his sentence ended with the incomplete answer, and he turned his back on Hiei.
The fire demon felt he was being challenged, .:Why should ~I~ have to share what I'm feeling with him, but not him with me?!:. The inequality of the situation struck Hiei. "That's unreasonable, this is a relationship, Kurama, and equality is the key factor here. You said 'love it or leave it' well I choose neither, I want you to tell me what's wrong.." Hiei paused a moment, "Don't you trust me?"
Kurama walked quickly to Hiei, wrapping his arms around the small figure, "Of course I trust you..it's just something I don't think you'd understand"
Hiei leaned his head into Kurama's shoulder and sighed, "Try me..."
Kurama laughed softly and whispered, "You're right...it's not fair that I don't let you in on the..human side of me"
"I told you so" Hiei replied, in a mocking tone
"I hate it when you're right"
"Fox?"
"Hmmm?"
"Stop avoiding the subject."
Kurama let out a short laugh and sighed, "You know me too well, demon boy"
"Stop with the flattery, and don't call me 'boy' I'm older then you."
"I know," Kurama sighed and began his story...
