Raining Love
Point of View: Hiei
I jumped from tree to tree before finally resting atop a cherry blossom tree. Mukuro has given me the week off and will be suspicious if I come home early. I have to stay for the full week.
I look above and see the dark clouds ready to unleash their torment upon on me. I usually went to Kurama's on rainy nights but I do not think that will be possible tonight, not after what just happened.
I bring my hand to my mouth and touch my lips ever so gently with my fingers. They were still warm. I bring my hand down gently and place it at my side. The rain starts, slow at first but in a minute or so, it will be coming down hard. I cannot stay out here and get sick, but where do I go. I will not go to Kuwabaras and Yusuke is out of town with Kayko. My only choice is Kurama's house. I hope he is not to mad with me for leaving, after all I think it is what he wanted me to do.
I jump from tree to tree again this time in the reverse direction, back to Kurama's house. I stop in a tree a block away from his house and mask my energy. I do not want him to notice me; I want to see what he is doing first. I jump to the next tree and keep going. I am now outside his window. I peer in, he is lying on the bed crying, his face is in the pillow. On the desk, there is a small note, to me! I cannot read very well but I know it says my name. I crawl through the window and he does not even notice me, so I walk to the desk and pick up the note. I try to read it, but it is hard. I never had any schooling so he has tried to teach me to read and write. I cannot say I was to cooperative but I tried to please him. I look at the note for a while, sounding out words in my head.
Hiei, I am sorry for what my confession has done to our friendship and if I had known it would affect you like this I never would have said it. I do not want to hurt you for my love is too great. Forgive me? You do not know how long I have loved you and admired you. Your child like looks and your attitude. I know your attitude was cold but there was warmth about it. Just slight warmth and I wish I had never told you so I could still be around that slight warmth. Nevertheless, I told you. I hope we can at least remain fighting partners. Yours truly, Kurama
I put the note in my pocket and look at him. His crying has died down slightly and I unmask my energy He feels it immediately and looks up at me, surprised that I came back. I too am surprised; I could have always gone to the temple. It slipped my mind before, but I could go there. Too late, I am here and here I must now stay. Unless he says, I must leave, in which case I will go. He has stopped crying now and only a few stray tears roll down his cheeks. His emerald eyes lost their shine and are dull now. I stare into them for a moment. Maybe I could talk to him and find out everything. This is what I wanted, for him to love me, but it is just so unexpected. I dreamed of it and now that it is true, I do not know what to do. I stare at his eyes, waiting for the sparkle to return, but it has not in the minute I have been staring so I open my mouth to speak. He cuts me off.
"Hiei, what are you doing back here?" his voice cracks on the last word as a few more tears trickle down his face. That porcelain face which is so sad because of me. "I was just wondering if I could stay here tonight. It is very cold and rainy out there" This was the true reason I came back, but there was also another "Of course you can. You are always welcome here"
He fakes a smile, which he thinks will fool me, but it is not his usual warm caring smile and I am not fooled. I do not need my jagan to know its fake; I can see it with my normal eyes. I step over a small pile of clothes on the floor and make my way to where he is sitting. I reach out my hand and wipe away a few stray tears. I do not smile but he does, and this one is genuine.
"Thank you" "Hn" I do not know what else to say. "Do you want the bed or the floor?" He has known me long enough to know that I always say the floor, so I just sit down on it and cross my legs and look up at him. I proceed to take out the note from my pocket. "This note, was for me?" "Yes" his face blushes some "I read it" I get no response. Looks like I will have to be the first to say something about it "I will always be your fighting partner and maybe more"
The volume in my voice comes down to a whisper at the speaking of the last words but I know he can hear me. He was a fox after all. Again, I get no response but his hand reaches out for mine and he holds it gently, stroking the back of it with his delicate fingers. I just look down and shove the note back in my pocket. He stands up as I do and he folds me into him in a tender hug. Everything about this moment will stay in my mind forever as I wrapped my muscular arms around his waist and bury my face in his bare chest. He smells like roses. I expected him to; it is just a faint smell so I breathe in deeply to smell it. It smells wonderful, like him, he is wonderful. I am glad he cannot read my mind because I do not want anyone to know those thoughts. They are mine and mine alone. He lets me go and says I am welcome to stay for as long as I like and that I could have the bed. I calmly refuse saying it is his.
"It is yours you have it" "No I insist, you can take it" "Hn, I said no fox" He is more delicate then I am he should not have to sleep on the floor. I am used to sleeping on hard things. I sleep in trees, on the ground, in caves. He is not used to sleeping without a comfortable bed. "Ok, ok. There is no need to argue over something so simple" "Hn"
I win easily. He is not one to give up but he knows that this fight is mine. No more arguing, time for some quiet. I look at his homework and clear my throat hoping he gets the message. All though I do not approve of him living in this world or going to a human school, I would not want him to fail on my behalf. He gets my message and hurries over to do it. He says he only has a little to do and that he will be with me in a few minutes. I let out a small laugh. I saw his homework earlier, it is not a little, he has a lot of it, more then a few minutes worth. He starts working on it and I sit on the bed. It is nice and comfortable; no wonder he wanted to give it to me. I lay there and stare at the ceiling and I can here him scribbling away as he tries to do his homework as quickly as possible. The pillows are fluffy under my head and I cannot help but fall asleep on them. My head is filled with dreams about Kurama and me, about me brutally murdering other demons as I run through the makai, about the rekai tantei. Everything I do, I am dreaming about. I wake up hours later and look to my right, Kurama is sound asleep next to me. And I would want it no other way.
