Doki-Doki Suru: Hiei Blushes!?
*~*
A pair of green eyes stared off into the horizon. The eyes' owner was relaxing on a green hill with his back against a tree. To the human eye, this being was known as Shuichi Minamino, an intelligent high school student who couldn't possibly be over seventeen years of age. No one could have guessed that this red-haired boy was anything more than what he seems. Humans were too dense and narrow-minded to believe in monsters and fantasy characters, much less demons. It has been too long ago since any demons have entered their lives anyway.
No one could have guessed that deep within this boy, he was a demon at heart. Not just any other demon either - a legendary silver kitsune who is feared by many in the Makai is hidden beneath the soft flesh of this ningen. True, this boy was Shuichi Minamino, but he was also Youko Kurama, who was thought to be dead after being injured in Makai. No demon or human could have guessed that the ruthless fox demon was still alive, living, waiting inside the body of a human, to once again be released some day.
Shuichi is Kurama, and Kurama is Shuichi (A/N: I don't think Youko would be very important in this fanfic, so I'm not going to do any introductions on him. . . yet. . .). They are one and the same. Both share the same appearance. The only difference between the two is their history and the fact that Shuichi is the human form, while Kurama is capable of using his Spirit Energy to evoke plants and use them in more lethal ways than one can imagine. Kurama isn't as evil as he seems though. With his advance knowledge in plants, he can fix up medicinal herbs to help those in need of it.
Kurama, as we shall call him from now on, watched as the sun set before him. Hues of red, purple, orange, and yellow covered the sky, tucking in the sun for a good night's sleep. Kurama usually had better things to do than sit around, wasting time, like he is now, but today was an exception. Today, he will sit on this hill and think. He couldn't resist the urge to smile to himself as the memory of his previous day unfolded in his mind . . .
*~*
"Minamino-san!"
Kurama was just exiting his high school gates, backpack slung across his shoulder, when he heard his name and turned around to see a crowd of girls smiling shyly at him.
"Hey, minna-san." Kurama gave them a slight wave and smiled, making many of the girls sigh with a dreamy look in their eyes.
"Kurama."
Kurama turned to the familiar voice behind him.
"Hiei." Kurama was surprised to see him. Hiei doesn't usually come to him so soon after school.
"I need to talk to you." Announced Hiei.
He has always been so straightforward with what he has to say, thought Kurama as he smiled.
"Sure."
Turning back to the crowd of girls that had apparently grown larger over time, Kurama waved goodbye and quickly followed the fire demon. Sounds of sighing and whispers could be heard behind the alluring redhead. The two walked over towards a dark alley. The alley had many shadows cast by a big office building, perfect for talking in privacy. Their faces darkened as they stepped into those shadows.
Kurama studied Hiei's face, searching for reasons as to why he would want to talk to him all of a sudden.
"Something wrong, Hiei?"
"Kurama, I . . . I. . ." Hiei began. Kurama's curiosity increased. I've never known Hiei to stutter before, he thought. Something must be bothering him, perhaps Yukina.
Yukina was Hiei's younger twin sister. Kurama knew that Yukina meant more to Hiei than Hiei would allow himself to show. However, Yukina still doesn't know that the brother she had been searching for was Hiei. He wanted to keep it a secret from her, thinking that no one would want someone such as himself as a brother.
Hiei looked down towards the ground. This doesn't seem like Hiei at all, Kurama pondered to himself. He almost seems, "shy". He tried to look deeper into Hiei's face, which was difficult considering his height and the position of his head, which was pointing downwards. (A/N: *snickers*)
"Hiei?" Kurama said, getting no results from Hiei's face, which was blocked from view.
Hiei blushed as a tint of light pink became slightly visible on his cheeks. Now Kurama was truly surprised as his eyebrows rose with astonishment. Never had Hiei ever blushed!
"Eh, Hiei!?" Kurama exclaimed questioningly.
Kurama's reaction seem to increase Hiei's nervousness since the tint of pink soon took to a new shade of deep pink. Kurama was taken aback by Hiei's. . . pink, which lit up in a way that reminded him of a human tale he had heard of in his earlier years, a particular clown-nosed reindeer. . . (A/N: *sings* Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose . . .)
Hiei felt his cheeks heat up and cursed himself for not being able to hold it in. He could hear his heart beating crazily, and only hoped that the fox couldn't hear it. He knew perfectly well that he most likely have heard with that acute hearing of his though. Resisting it only made him more nervous, as he felt his cheeks now blazing with heat. This is ONLY Kurama, he screamed at himself in his mind. This is only Kurama . . . he repeated, with a softer voice, almost a whisper. Even with his gaze at the ground, images of Kurama flashed before his eyes, most of which Kurama was smiling, laughing, or talking to Hiei himself. The result: A red-faced Hiei.
Kurama watched all this with new interest. He had never seen Hiei act this way before until now. He tried his best to keep the laughter contained inside as Hiei clearly blushed himself so red, apples would surely be jealous of him. His sensitive ears picked up the heartbeat of Hiei, which was beating at a rapid speed. Had Hiei been a human, he would have accused him of having a case of heart disease, but he knew that demons with the speed like Hiei's had a faster heartbeat than others. Kurama smiled to himself, wondering what thought might be in Hiei's mind that made him blush this furiously.
*~*
Kurama chuckled at the thought as the sound of children shouting woke him from his reverie. The sun had already set and the sky no longer had the colors it once shown. Now, a blanket of red and purple began to fade, as the color of night was unveiled. Looking around, Kurama spotted a crescent moon hanging low in the sky. Apparently, the moon had just awoken from its day's slumber.
Kurama got up easily despite sitting down for so long. He placed his hand on the rough bark of the tree and watched hollering children run around and occasionally falling on the soft grass. He smiled as he noticed a band of kids purposely flinging themselves at the ground from the top of the hill to tumble their way down, then scurrying back up to do it again.
After a few minutes, the redhead soon decided it was time to head back home, back to Shuichi's home, where his family would be waiting for his return. He can just imagine what would happen as soon as he stepped through the door. . .
*~*
As soon as Kurama stepped through the door, something flung itself onto him. He was experienced in this, since this was what usually happened every time he gets home. After years of practice, it no longer bothered him as it once did.
"Shuichi-chan!" Kurama's younger brother screamed into his ear.
"Hey!" Kurama replied with a smile.
Kurama, his younger step-brother, also named "Shuichi", his step-father, and his mother, Shiori, lives together happily under one roof of a house. Like Yukina with Hiei, Shuichi's family meant everything to Kurama. He would sacrifice his life for them if it means that it will save theirs. In fact, he has attempted to sacrifice his life for his mother, but a certain "someone" had saved him from doing so and still saved his mother in the act. (A/N: Com'mon people, you all should know who this certain "someone" is. . .)
With Shuichi clinging on to his brother's back, Kurama effortlessly made his way to their room upstairs. (A/N: Apparently, they share a room! *smiles*)
"Oof!" said Shuichi as Kurama dropped him on his bed, which was adjacent to Kurama's.
Kurama smiled at his younger brother, who happily beamed back.
"Have you finished your homework, Shuichi-chan?" Kurama asked, a slight smirk hidden in the smile he had a few seconds ago.
Shuichi's smile faded as the thought of "homework" seeped into his mind. An annoyed look now hung in its place.
"You just HAD to remind me. . ." sighed Shuichi as he pulled out his math homework from his backpack which he had laid beside his bed.
"Haha" laughed Kurama, as he stepped up to his own bed and lay down, closing his eyes. When the rustle of papers had settled down, Kurama thought back to yesterday once more. Hiei. he thought to himself. . .
