Disclaimers: The usual…

KISS ME NOT

Chapter IV – Burning Desires

He held my hand tighter against his and looked at me with cold eyes.

Kurama noticed our hands clasped together. "Who gave you the permission to lay a hand on my fiancée…"

He stared at our hands.

Hiei let go of my hand and moved closer to the bluish-white-haired kitsune.

He collared him and uttered: "You'll pay a big price for what you've done, jerk!"

Hiei raised his right hand and gave Kurama a nice punch on the cheek. Kurama stumbled on the ground.

"Hiei!" I shouted.

He looked at me. "I said stay where you are."

Kurama managed to stand off the ground. His mouth was now shed with blood.

The sky became darker and darker. Thick clouds were beginning to scatter in the whole sphere.

The blue-eyed guy wiped the blood flowing from his mouth by his right arm.

"That wasn't enough." Hiei shouted as he strode forward ready to attack Kurama again.

He attacked again throwing great punches to the semi-injured kitsune.

Punches were thrown to his left cheek, to his right, to his stomach, to his chest…to his whole body…until he was fully bruised.

He wouldn't stop until he saw Kurama dropped in extreme pain and grief.

At last, the blue-eyed guy lay flat on the ground. Hiei stopped and gasped for more air.

The rain started flowing, moistening every part of our bodies and drifting away the tension between the fight.

Hiei stayed by my side while we watched the rain washing every drop of the injured guy's blood.

Kurama lay on the streets, unmoved and still. "Let's go." Hiei said.

I felt quite relieved by his statement. He walked sideways, the cold wind blowing our drifting clothes.

We passed by the body of my fiancée but before we can even moved a couple of feet, he moved and stood from where he was dwelled.

His blood was flowing and the rain carefully washed his not-so-severe wounds. "Just where do you think you are goin', you two."

We faced Kurama and Hiei went forward to fight again with the bluish-white haired guy. "Are you finished?" the kitsune asked.

Hiei gritted his teeth in remark.

"Now, It's my turn."

Just as he stated those four words, he ran towards Hiei and attacked him fatally.

He gave strong punches until Hiei was crippled down like a piece of rotten vegetable.

"Stop it! I said stop it!" I shouted with all my might as I tried to refrain Kurama by holding his arm.

He stopped for a while as he loosened his grip against Hiei and dropped him on the ground. "You just stay there and watch."

"No." I still tried to object.

"I said, stay away." he commanded me.

"I…I…I'll go…with you…just leave him alone!" I requested.

He looked at me. My tears were now falling freely like the small droplets of rain that embodied our souls.

"No… Mukuro… Don't…!" Hiei managed to stand a little, holding his broken right arm with his left hand.

I walked down the road… Kurama followed me. Hiei was just staring at us… shocked. He ran a little and moved in front of me.

"No! I said don't! Stay with me! Stay!" he whispered to me.

I was stunned. I raised my head and my eyes can not control the flow of droplets of water from it.

The blue-eyed guy got angry and gritted his teeth. He moved against me, held my arm and moved me away in a tight grip.

Hiei still followed us and I looked at him with lucid crying eyes. "Stay! Mukuro! Stay!" he kept on shouting.

Kurama got pissed off. He released me and went back to Hiei.

They stared at each other with cursing eyes for about five seconds.

Then, Kurama moved. He made a strong punch on Hiei's stomach.

"Stay away!!!" Kurama yelled. There was a great impact on that punch. Hiei lost his control and vomit with blood. He dropped on the ground semi-unconscious.

More tears embodied my eyes. I ran into the injured Hiei and wrapped my arms freely around him.

"Wake up!" I cried against his unconscious body.

He heard me and managed to speak. "Mu…Mukuro……"

"Gomen nasai, Hiei!" I apologized as Kurama held my arm and pulled me away.

"No!" I objected. "I won't leave!" I said firmly to him.

He pulled me further and I tried to release myself but his grip was tight and unwavering.

"Stop this, Kurama! You're hurting me! No! No!" I protested as he tried to pull me more.

"Mu…ku…ro…" Hiei murmured with ashen lips. Rain was now falling heavily against his dropped almost dead body.

He tried to reach his hand to me. And I tried to hold it but Kurama pulled me against his motorcycle.

"Hiei! Hiei! Hiei!" I shouted while Kurama inserted the key into his motor.

"Mu…kuro…" he still tried to reach my hand.

I felt the motorcycle moving a little. I was filled with fright and tears rushed from my lucid eyes. "No!"

"Mu…ku…r…o…" he uttered until he lost his consciousness.

I was frozen. "Hiei…" I whispered as the motor came rushing down.

At the moment I felt nothing was left of me… but pure ashes… I couldn't accept this… I couldn't… No!!! Hiei!!!!!!!

I sat down on the carpeted floor as I watched the fire ate the ashes and small pieces of wood.

I lay there wearing only a pink robe, seeking warmth from the little fireplace.

Hiei…He was the very first person to join me in my endless loneliness…

This time no tears were flowing from my eyes…I just stared blankly at the pieces of wood being burnt at the place.

"Tok…Tok…Tok…" little knocks were heard.

I didn't answer them.

"Miss Mukuro, this is Yuri, I brought you some tea."

I still didn't answer.

The door burst open in a mere second.

"Sorry, I thought you weren't here." she said.

No answer was heard from me.

She entered the room and laid the tea on a table.

She bowed a little. "Ma'am, I would go now." she stated as she walked down the door and exited my room.

Now, I was left alone again. I was thinking of what happened to Hiei.

Would he be ok and well? Would he be there like ever? Would he be sick? Or… Or… Would he be… dead? NO! He wouldn't!

I bowed and thought of what to do next. I chose to go outside the room and check for my parents.

As usual, they were on their office… but, now, they have some kind of matters discussed. I listened secretly to their conversation.

"I am asking you for this little favor, Ma'am." one of the voices said.

From its pitch and calmness, I can tell it was Kurama.

"What do you think, Pa?" that was my mother.

"It's fine with me." he said in a deep voice.

"So, when will you start going to Mukuro's school?" my mom questioned.

I was shocked. Kurama… Going with me… In school… No! This was the worst thing that they could do to me… No! Why did they ever permitted him…

They were so unfair! They didn't even consult me… Damn them! I hate all of them! I hate them…!

"I want to as soon as possible." Kurama answered.

I ran down back to my room and sat on my bed…thinking…

Kurama… With me in school… Crap! He don't have the right to keep her and guard her everytime…

And besides…what did he want? He took away everything! Everything!

…including Hiei! Hell on him! I cursed him. Hell on him!

I sat again near the fireplace and watched the orange fire for the second time.

Few minutes passed and I was still sitting in front of my fireplace.

I heard footsteps coming. They stopped by my door. The door burst open as a guy entered my room.

It was Kurama. He went near me and I stood immediately when I felt his presence.

"Go away." I said.

He smirked. "Be kind on your fiancée."

"And why should I be?!" I shouted at him and switched my eyes against his.

He went near me and I moved backwards. "Because, we are one…" he stated.

"No!" I opposed him.

He moved again closer. I stepped backwards.

"You belong to me, Mukuro…" he smiled and calmly said.

I tried to step back more but there was no space. The wall was there, keeping me from moving.

"I missed your touch, Mukuro…" he touched my cheeks tenderly.

I swayed them away by my arm and slapped him on the face. For a moment there was silence. I began to think that I angered him too much for he didn't even look at me.

I was alleviated when he looked at me and smiled a little. "You really entice me…" he murmured against my left ear.

He moved closer against me and rubbed his body against mine. Cold sweat was now breaking down against my whole body.

Kurama was now so domineering… I saw deep impressions of hatred and charm from his eyes. They were like bursting in just a mere second.

He moved his hand tenderly against my waist and rubbed it gently. His other touched my neck and cheeks.

I was so afraid… I was like an ice cube frozen in extreme terror. I was aghast by his seemingly seductive movements, creeping over my whole body.

The blue-eyed guy then moved his lips closer against mine. I didn't like this anymore… He was like a fox ready to swallow me whenever I didn't follow or agree to his selfish conditions.

He moved again closer, almost near to a kiss. No! My whole heart and mind protested.

I don't want to be with him! No! For God's sake! No! I pushed him abruptly into the ground.

"Stay away from me!" I shouted against him.

He lost control of his temper and immediately stood and gripped me on the arm against the wall.

He held me tighter in his grip and pushed me backwards. "Why! Why do you keep on refusing me again and again!"

Tears would soon fall in my lucid eyes because of the extreme terror that I felt whenever he is around.

Small droplets of water began to drop from my eyes to my cheeks.

Nothing had changed from his mood but nevertheless, the tears angered him more.

"Don't cry!" he commanded me as he pressed his two fingers against my chin, between my mouth and near my cheeks.

Crying was more likely my response. "I said don't cry!"

He lost his patience towards me and forced a kiss. He moved his arms and hands passionately, exploring my whole body.

I tried to break free of his touch but he was so strong… His arms were keeping my body in a fixed position like a jailed prisoner.

I was now anxious of what was happening… I wanted to get away from this!

Thoughts of what happened between us during the dark, cursed night kept coming back against my wounded memories, haunting back all the impurities and tears that he has brought me…

"Stop this!" I screamed. "Stop this, will you!" more tears were flowing from my eyes.

He didn't reply but instead, strengthened his hold and kiss me more against my cheeks.

I screamed again. "No!!!! Don't do this again to me!"

"Nooooo!!!!"

I trembled like a lost child when he reached for my neck and enveloped it in his dirty kisses.

This shouldn't be! I swore this wouldn't happen again! I cried in extreme terror that harassed me.

The wicked kitsune reached for the ribbon of my robe and untied it.

He removed the right part of the robe revealing my right shoulder.

He was about to kiss it when I lost control and punched the bluish-white-haired kitsune causing him to move backwards.

I held the untied part of the pink robe against my arms. It was now a little bit revealing and daring.

Blood flowed from his mouth because of the strong impact of my punch.

"Go away." I said.

He stepped backwards.

I looked at him with flowing hate and loathe. "Go away!"

I hated him even more.

He moved down fast and walked towards the door.

He was gone… Again I was alone watching the burning fires.

I looked for the ribbon and tied it again in my robe.

I sat down near the said fireplace. My right hand was placed on my left shoulder and my left hand on the right, forming an X through my arms.

I looked vividly at the burning wood. It was all so lonely.

I did no movement. Just plain tears…

****Mukuro…
