When An Angel Falls Chapter 5: Wounds *************************************************************

Hiei timidly knocked on Kurama's door. "Hiei?" Kurama when he opened it, "What are you doing here, come in." Kurama stood to the side and Hiei walked inside. "I came for my rain-check." Hiei said and looked at his feet. "Well, you're right on time, you can help me cook it." Kurama grabbed his hand and pulled him to the kitchen.

'There is no way this guy is an angel, aren't angels supposed to be the 'Welcome-you-with-open-arms' type? I mean, he could scare people! Oh well, I'm not actually going to believe Kuwabara. He is cute though. Whoa where'd that come from?' Kurama shook his head and drove all the other thoughts away, but not fast enough to realize just how cute Hiei's butt really was.

"You can help me with the salad." Kurama gestured towards a bowl, lettuce, and toppings. "I don't know how." Hiei shrugged, he had never touched any type of food ever. "Here, I'll help you." Offered Kurama as he stepped over and started cutting the vegetables. 'He can't feel pain...' Kurama remembered the talk he had with Kuwabara. 'No, it's impossible' he thought. 'But maybe, I'll just test him.' He thought as he stepped closer to Hiei.

With a swift movement he cut him on the back of the hand. Hiei jerked back and tried to hide his hand. "I'm sorry, it was an accident, let me see that." He grabbed for his hand but Hiei stepped back. "I'll put a bandage on it for you." Kurama grabbed his hand and pulled him closer. "But...I cut you." He stammered when he saw that Hiei's hand didn't even have a scratch on it. "What are you?" he asked and backed away.

Hiei just looked at him, he knew he couldn't lie, but how was he going to tell him the truth? "I want you to leave." Kurama looked angry, confused, but most of all scared. It hurt Hiei to see him like that. Hiei just vanished in thin air. Kurama gasped, "Wait..." but Hiei was all ready gone. *************************************************************

Hiei watched Kurama toss and turn all night long. Kurama didn't even get a full thirty minutes of sleep. He would get up, get a drink, walk around, eat a snack, but he was always thinking deeply of something. Hiei hoped he wasn't the cause for Kurama's insomnia. "What am I to do?" Kurama whispered to no one. But, deep in the shadows, someone was listening, someone is always listening, wishing they could answer. *************************************************************

Kurama was at the park when it first began to rain, he and Frank had run all the way home. Both were freezing and soaked, dripping what felt like icicles down their backs. Kurama fluffed Frank up with a towel and he started a hot shower.

When Kurama stepped out of the shower he put on his pajamas and a huge dark green robe. He shivered, the wind was filled with dampness and dankness as it blew through his window. 'I just shut that window.' He thought. He reached out and shut it as something brushed past him, "Hiei? Are you there?" but he was only answered with silence.

Kurama sighed and slipped his robe off. He crawled into the sea of blankets and warmth (his bed). Kurama lay there unable to sleep when the blankets lifted up and a figure lay next to him. Kurama slowly moved closer, arms wrapped around his shoulders and pressed him against Hiei's chest. They lay there for an hour when Hiei started to get up.

"No, stay." Kurama held on to him, and Hiei willingly let himself be pulled back into bed. Hiei laid his head on Kurama's chest, Kurama lifted Hiei's chin and slowly pressed their lips together. Hiei never wished before that he could feel, but now the pain of not feeling his love was hurting him, ripping him apart, he wanted anything to stop the pain, anything to feel. *************************************************************
