Roses Are Black...

By MysticHakai24



The next mornings were no different. There was a bouquet of pink and white roses sitting on his wooden desk, waiting for someone to own them. And at school, someone had stuffed a box of delicious white chocolates in his desk. And etc. Kurama was now confused.

There was a full week before Valentine's Day and he as already recieving gifts from an anonymous person. Sure, he expected Valentine's Day presents and cards and sweets, but not this early. Or maybe Kurama should not be surprised. After all, many girls would jump at any chance to give him something. That must be it. It was a from a girl at school. The printing on the card and paper was neatly written like a female, but it was misspelled pretty much.

Kurama picked up his briefcase and opened it, the school bell had just signalled the end of the day, he was again surprised at its contents. Inside was a small felt heart saying the words 'Aishiteru.' Maybe he shouldn't be so surprised, after all, it was the day before Valentine's Day.

"Minamino-san!" someone cried. It was Mai Ishaboda. She was smiling. Immediately, again, she clamped herself to Kurama's left arm as his right arm was holding briefcase. "Konnichiwa, Minamino-san!"

Kurama sighed mentally and gave a false smile to her, he was really getting annoyed with this girl. "Konnichiwa Ishaboda-san," he said with fake happiness. "How was your day?" He asked that question everyday but it didn't seem like Mai minded.

She replied enthusiastically, "Fine! I just gotta do some homework and," she looked around before whispering quietly, "I'm gonna forge my mom's signature. I gotta 14 on my spelling retest!" Then she lifted her voice as if to show off to the girls staring jealously, "How was your day, Minamino-san?"

"Quite nice, thank you," Kurama replied. Suddenly, he felt some youki nearby. It must be Hiei. The youki felt kind of angry and... jealous? Kurama looked up to a nearby tree but saw nothing. Was it really Hiei?

Mai looked concerned. "Daijobu ja, Minamino-san?" she asked, still as if she was showing off to the other girls.

"Daijobu. I'm just feeling a bit dizzy, I think I'm going to go home now," Kurama answered, it was agood excuse after all, but he still felt guilty about the lie.

Mai replied, "Oh, well, here." She handed him a white box in the shap of a heart and it had a red ribbon tied around it. There was a card swinging loosely from the ribbon. "It's an early Valentine's Day gift." She blushed so hard, her face was a tomato.

"Arigato, Ishaboda-san."

"Uhh...yeah. Uh, bye!" And Mai left.

Kurama looked at the card. On the front was a picture of what was suppose to be cupid shooting the arrow. Inside the card were the words, printed,

I am yuor frend, ande u r miine. But maibe we cuold be sunethimg mure..?

Kurama shook his head. But a thought hit him. What if Mai was the one who was sending him all the gifts? He stared at the message again. No, this writing was a little messier and the spelling seemed to worsen. It was someone else. But who? He sighed again and continued his walk home, still pondering on this secret admirer

Hiei followed the redheaded kitsune home. He was angry. He didn't like that Mai Ishaboda, if she was kind or not. Because she was going to steal away his fox.

And after purposely stealing all the money from those stupid ningens to buy these Valentine gifts, he wasn't going to give up his kitsune. Mai Ishaboda or not.

Kurama was his.
