*I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho*
Hiei and Kurama strolled along the beach. A gentle, whispering wind was
blowing, startling Kurama's long, red strands of hair. "Tell me Hiei,"
Kurama finally said. "What?" Hiei stopped. "what are your plans for the
future?" "Hn. What kind of question is that?" "Just tell me." "I don't have
any!" Hiei sharply replied. "I plan to die in battle, not alone like you
foolish humans!" "Hmmm... interesting." Kurama laced his fingers around his
friend's. "Come on, we were supposed to meet Yusuke and Keiko an hour ago!"
Kurama said.
"Hey guys!" Yusuke called from the pier. "Where were you?" "Oh, we
just lost track of time." Kurama replied as they climbed the ladder. When
Kurama saw Keiko, he pulled a rose out of his hair and gave it to her.
"Thank you." Keiko blushed as she took the delicate flower. Hiei released
his grip from Kurama's hand, when he saw Yusuke flash a weird look. "I made
gingersnaps!" Keiko said to break the silence. They all sat down on the
blanket, and Keiko poured the lemonade. "Hiei, would you like any
lemonade?" Keiko asked sweetly. "Hn. No thank you." Hiei mumbled. Kurama
looked at his friend and gingerly stroked his hand. Hiei smiled
affectionately. "Ummmm... let's go on the Ferris wheel!" Yusuke exclaimed.
He and Keiko got into the first seat. "Hiei, would you like to go?" Kurama
asked. Hiei nodded and they boarded. When they got to the top, their eyes
met. "I think this is the best day we've ever spent together." Kurama
smiled. "Hiei, will...will... um... oh..." "What fox?" Hiei said. They got
closer. Hiei closed his eyes. "No." he whispered. Kurama looked taken
aback, so he turned his head away. Hiei figured what had happened, and
layed his head on Kurama's shoulder. "No, I will kiss you." he said
sweetly. Kurama turned around as Hiei lifted his head, and their lips met.
After the ride, Kurama bought some cotton candy and shared it with
Hiei. Later that evening it was getting cold, so Yusuke slipped his green
jacket over Keiko's shoulders. Hiei sat in the frigid water, and picked up
the wet sand. Kurama came and joined him. Kurama lied down to watch the
fireworks. Hiei lied his head on Kurama's stomach, burying his face in
Kurama's silky kimono. They lied there for a great time, until they got
cold and went for a walk. Kurama pulled another rose out of his hair and it
transformed into a locket, then he gave it to Hiei. Hiei opened it and read
the inscription. "I love you."
"BOTAN!" Yusuke yelled as she whisked him away on her oar. "Do we
have to battle now?!" "YES YUSUKE! This is important! We need to defeat the
enemy and return the Crystalline Dagger to Koenma Sama! I'm just afraid to
see what Suzica is going to use it for!" Botan exclaimed. "Hurry up if we
want to pick up Kurama and Hiei!" Yusuke slammed into a building as they
whipped around a corner. "AAAAAAAAH!" He yelled. Hiei and Kurama boarded
the oar as Yusuke hung onto the back.
"This is where the enemy is?" Hiei scoffed. "Why would he make demons
in the desert?" "WELL!" Suzica yelled as he jumped out from behind a
cactus. "FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!" CLUNK! The dagger hit the ground, right in
front of Botan. "I'm ready to fight!" Hiei yelled as he pulled out his
sword. A burst of spirit energy left Suzica's hand, blasting Hiei in the
shoulder. It left a painful burn. "Hiei!" Yusuke yelled. "Sh... he's ok."
Kurama said. Hiei lunged at Suzica with his sword but missed. Had he met a
faster person than himself? Suzica came down from a cactus and knocked
Hiei's sword out of his hand. Hiei grabbed the dagger and plunged it into
Suzica's heart, but he fell to the ground after, breathing rasply. He felt
his heart slowing down. Was he struck? He felt around and found that Suzica
had pierced one of his lungs. Kurama ran over to see what had happened.
"I'm dying." Hiei said. "NO!" Kurama cried. "We'll get you to a hospital
and you'll be fine!"
His tears rolled down his cheeks and onto Hiei's pale face. Hiei
reached for the locket but was too weak to grasp it. He used his last
amount of strength in his last kiss, which they didn't finish because he
went limp. Kurama lied his head on Hiei's chest, smelling the musky scent.
"You got what you wanted." Kurama whispered. "But you didn't die alone."
