One Thought
The reflection of the setting sun shone dimly on the rippling water. It was mid spring and the petals of the already bloomed cherry blossoms danced around the blowing wind. Swiftly, it landed on the surface of the lake, never to be seen again as it sunk to the bottom. One tree had the most beautiful flowers out of all the others.
"Do you have to leave?" Kurama asked as he and Hiei walked though the moonlit night.
Scattering around it were various types of flowers, some never even seen in the Ningenkai world before. Leaning against the trunk was a youkai, taking form of a very attractive human boy, Kurama. He had red hair and a slim, yet muscular figure. The part of him that intrigued many people were his green eyes that showed emotion and deep of thought, like he was in now…
"I'll come back." Hiei responded.
A blur of black crossed his eyes as he saw it jump from many trees and land a few feet away from him. Kurama didn't looked up; instead he continued to stare at the water, waves going back and forth onto the shore. Kurama could sense it was demon he knew very well. He had pitch-black hair, spiked up with a burst of white in the center. He wasn't as tall as Kurama, but he wasn't short, fairly. He carried his katana, for protection and his red eyes were showing no emotions, unlike Kurama's. He stared at Kurama intently and a silence formed between them.
"You promise?"
Hiei looked outward, hypnotized by Kurama's green eyes and his warm smile. Hiei forced him self to look away, incase he was caught. The uncomfortable silence was soon broken by the sound of Kurama's voice. "You finally returned, Hiei," Kurama whispered, mostly to himself. Hiei could help but form that tug on his lips into a small smile. 'So, he remembers me' Hiei thought before he replied, "Hn. It has been a long time."
"Yeah."
Hiei walked up to Kurama and sat down near him, twigs breaking underneath his foot with each step he took. Leaning against the tree, he moved his knee up to his chest, laying his head down on top as he looked down onto the ground. Kurama smiled as he remembered the day Hiei promised he would return back to Nigenkai world.
Closing the space between them, it felt like eternity until their lips connected together.
Turning to the side to face his friend, he kneeled down until they were the same eye level. Using his hand, he lifted Hiei's chin up, his green eyes locked with Hiei's red ones. Hiei gasp as he felt Kurama's lip on his. 'I'm glad I'm back too' Hiei thought as he voluntary press in farther. They stayed like that for a while, both memorized by the closeness. Kurama was the first to break away from the kiss as he felt a powerful spirit energy along with a few other lower level demons surround them.
They were lost in their own world.
"So two lovers, look what I found," a rude voice grunted as he and his group appeared from the shadows of the trees. The members snickered but stopped as their leader put a hand up, as if to silence them. "What? A fire demon and a youkai, together?" the leader asked when he stepped closer.
They both pulled away, gasping for breath.
Hiei and Kurama glared at them as they both stood up. "How did you get past the gate in Makai?" Kurama asked, hiding the anger in his voice. The leader withdrew his sword," Koenma let his guard down and I took that chance, careless fool." Hiei had already taken out his katana and held it in a fighting pose. Kurama, not wasting any time, took out a seed, which transformed into a whip. The demon just laughed," Ohh… now we're gonna serious huh?" Hiei grinded his teeth at the remark, trying not to let his anger get a hold of him.
"Will you be gone long?"
"Akuma, sir, what are we gonna do with them?" a demon spoke out. The demon, known as Akuma, frowned, "Talking out of turn, too bad." A scream was heard as Akuma slashed him in two. He grinned as he licked the blood off the sword. "Now where was I… yes…" he trailed off as a shell shaped horn appeared in his hand.
"Only a few years." Hiei said as he stopped walking and looked into Kurama's sad eyes.
It was white except for the faintly blue strips across it. Kurama's eyes widened as he remembered what it was used for. The moment Akuma blew into it, a mystical music played from it. The lake started to bubble and a figure appeared, taking the form of a young girl. She had long blue hair, decorated with white pearls on the side to hold up her bangs. She held a staff, the same color as the horn, which shined when she moved it. She was lifted up by the water spouting out of the lake, looking like blue gems as it rose.
"Will you forget me… once you're gone?" Kurama asked, looking back into Hiei's stare.
"Take the fire demon!" Akuma ordered at the nymph as he pointed towards Hiei. The girl bowed her head at Akuma before she pointed her staff at Hiei. Glancing at Kurama, she put on a smile and dove back into the lake with Hiei right behind her. 'Meet me back here in 3 days,' was the message Kurama heard zip through his mind when the girl looked at him.
Hiei's eyes sadden at the question.
In the lake Hiei was losing his air supply quickly. The girl noticed this and chanted a spell in order for Hiei to breath. "Relax," she said," I'm a water nymph, my name is Megami." She closed her eyes and held her hand in a triangle position, pointing towards Hiei's forehead. Concentrating, she opened her eyes after mere seconds. 'His lover' was the only thing she had in mind. "You will remember everything and everyone except…" she paused before she continued," the person you care the most about."
'Did he really think that?' Hiei thought.
Hiei froze, 'Yukina' he thought. Megami laughed, as for she could read Hiei's mind. "Yukina? Ohh…yes, your twin sister. I could…. but I have someone else I mind." Hiei shook his head in his hands, 'No not him! I could never forget…Kurama' Megami nodded sadly as she formed a wave of glitter in her hands. Pointing her finger towards Hiei, the glitter floated around him and swirled until there was no more left to be seen.
Kurama waited nervously, hoping it wasn't the answer he was thinking about.
Hiei closed his eyes tightly, a word repeated it self in his mind, over and over again, ' Kurama.' The nymph gasped as some of the glitter faded away from Hiei's body instead of into it. 'Some parts of the spell wore out, but that is impossible' she thought.
"I could never forget you, ever."
She smiled knowingly as she brought him back up to the surface, her job completed. During the time, Kurama was kneeling down to where the nymph took Hiei. He turned around, his glaring eyes showing no mercy. He concentrated his energy as he put his hands on the ground. The ground shook around them and vines appeared from nowhere, strapping the demon to the trees, killing them in an instant.
Kurama smiled as he captured Hiei's lips into his again.
It continued again until one remained. Kurama glared at Akuma before making him another quick job like his team, this time doing it personally. A laugh reached his ears, but he quickly ignored it as he searched the spot where the last demon died. Kurama's pants were covered in dust, but he didn't care. The object he was looking for wasn't anywhere to be seen, 'Where is the horn?' Kurama questioned.
Kurama whispered, "I will be waiting and…."
A splash of the water made him quickly turn around. He saw Hiei along with the girl behind him. Kurama called," Wait!" She quickly sunk back into the lake, but not before giving Hiei and Kurama a last look. Kurama kneeled down and sure enough Hiei was still alive. 'You will wake up' Kurama thought as he helped Hiei to his feet by putting his arm around his shoulder and slowly headed home.
"…I could never forget you, either."
Ok, Ok, it's a little sappy, but hey, what do you expect from a romance fan fiction. Well please review, and make me happy. One review can go a long way. That sounded stupid, but review or I'm dumping this fic.
