Author's Note: YAY! Chapter 3!I don't know how I accomplished it, especially since I've had writer's block and spent most of my time writing later chapters (10-14), and a new story I hope to be putting the first chapter of up in a few days, (check it out), and a few songfics. . .BUT, anywho, here it is. . .
Oh, to explain the chapter set up, every other chapter is going to be a different vantage point of the same event as in the previous chapter, so this chapter is going to have the same occurrences as chapter 2, but in Kurama's POV.
Um. . .just some side thoughts, I don't actually understand Hiei's black dragon thingy so bare with me and I assume you'll understand why Kurama is taking a shower. . .
oh and if you do choose to review, please I need a little criticism of my actual writing. . .I know my writing style is a little strange (so says my English teacher), and I'd just like to know, am I making sense to anyone, or am I just "vague and annoying"–Mrs. Holland(English teacher)
Notes to Reviewers:
Lovescsi *laughs hysterically at PC monitor* All I have to say is, yup, ya guessed it, Kurama was talking about, put into less elegant terms, masturbating in the first chapter. But truthfully, what did you expect? Is it not you who is reading R rated Yaoi, huh, huh? Yes, you are, so don't blame me if ya get grossed out. . .*sticks out tongue and does victory dance*
LilAngel12558 *gives a cookie* Ya almost hit the nail on the head, Kurama does plan to make Hiei jealous, but more elements go into it then his sudden stoicism, I know this chapter doesn't really show this, but in future chapters you'll see what I'm talking about. . .
Kuroshi Tatsaki *grumbles* . . .This is going to sound bitchy, but its really not. . .Thank you for alerting me to my error, however I don't feel like going back through and changing every time I use the word "Ningen", or as I spelled it nigen (blame laziness), so I apologize for my stupidity. . .
Katyfoxdemon2 * nods * I do too, they're such a cute couple!!!!!!
Castilia I'll try.
Angelbird12241 If only I had more time to type I'd update everyday!!!
Also I wanna thank all my anonymous reviewers!!!!!!!
Disclaimer: I believe we went over this already in chapter 2, I DON'T OWN IT!!!. . .but don't ya wish I did? *evil smirk*
Warning: I assume since you've gotten past the first 2 chappies you understand what this story is about, so this is the last time I'm putting warnings. . .YAOI. . .*cracks knuckles* k?????

until the end of time,
don't know why I'm still waiting,
can't make you mine"

~Kurama's POV~
I turned the brass handle and was instantly rewarded with a rain of freezing cold water against my chest. I shivered slightly as the drops collected and ran in rivulets down my stomach and legs. I didn't enjoy the bitter sensation of the drops stealing away my body heat, but it was exactly what I needed at this point.
Damn youko sensibilities.
I could want to kill him with every fiber of my being and with one mental picture of his well muscled form, any feelings, good or bad I may have had, become subdued by lust. . .probably a side effect of staying celibate too long.
That and the fact that he decides to show up just as I'm 'picturing' him, didn't help either.
I had immediately recognized the new energy as Hiei's. I suppose the years of constant contact with him allowed me to become familiar with, and comfortable around, his unique, fire/ice youki. Even considering this I was still surprised by his sudden presence. He hadn't visited the Nigenkai in two weeks. . .damn Murkro, she kept him so busy. If Hiei was anyone but the "more challenge the better" Hiei, he would have quit long ago.
I know he hated staying away, if for no other reason, than the guilt he felt for not being close to his twin. I suppose he justified his absence, in his own mind, with the strength he gained from his intensive training.
And intensive it was. He had been that bionical bitch's heir for little over two years and had already mastered his black dragon to perfection, and was now able to produce three consecutive waves without the need to recharge in sleep. I missed that. . .not the worry for his state. . . but rather the way he would be left vulnerable after defeating our enemy. I missed carrying his sleeping form in my arms, taking care of him, and the extended time I was allowed to spend with him while he fully recharged. I missed the liberty I was given. . .and the trust he put in me.
Hn, I'm letting it get to me again . . .
I considered, if only for a moment, to hurry and cut my shower short, so my little fire youki wouldn't have to wait. . .and to a greater extent so I could fulfill my need to see him. I dismissed this, however, when I remembered he was the very reason I needed to take a cold shower. And, beyond that very. . .direct point, I'd just made a promise to myself I wouldn't give into these emotions. He had tortured me with his indifference, and it was time I give him a taste of his own medicine.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I again turned the brass handle, this time being granted a relent from the pelting of cold drops. I stepped out onto the cold porcelain of the bathroom's titled floor. I could still sense Hiei, though his youki was slightly diminished, had he fallen asleep? Hn. How rude, its his own damn fault I had to take so long in the infernal shower. . .even if he didn't know it. . . he should at least have the decency to stay awake. . .was that so much to ask? Although, the fact that he felt secure enough to let himself become unconscious, did say something for the trust he still had in me.
For a moment I felt the urge to drop all my careful planning, and forget my hour upon end midnight, thought sessions to work it out. It had, after all, been difficult task to gain Hiei's trust, it had been difficult, but nothing compared to the challenge of winning his heart. I dismissed my prior indecision, I hadn't waited years, I hadn't learned the 420 inflections of the word 'hn', I hadn't racked my brain countless nights for a solution, only to fail in the last stages of my intricate plan. I had known the execution of the plot would be the most difficult, it would take strength, will power, and above all, self control, which had never been one of my strong points.
I felt his youki immediately flicker, as I opened the bathroom door, announcing he was once again awake. That was Hiei, as sleep and still aware of everything. I chuckled to myself as I adjusted the towel about my waist one more time before stepping out into the hall way.
Quietly I walked to my bedroom door. I reached for the door knob, but hesitated as my hand landed on its smooth surface. I felt butterflies in my stomach, as I always did when Hiei was near me, but this time the infernal insects threatened to come up my throat and spill out into an unsightly stain on the light gray carpeting.
Why was I so nervous? Its just Hiei, its just the same fire demon you've come to know over years. . .isn't it? So why suddenly do I feel nauseous?. . . Because I'm giving into these weakening emotions again.
I took a deep breath urging my stomach back to its rightful place in my torso. I needed to think about something else. I removed my hand from the door knob and ran it though my quickly drying locks, hoping its silken smoothness could some how calm my nerves. My fingers ran over the various seeds, mentally taking inventory, and momentarily distracting me.
This was going to be a challenge, and I needed to be calm, I needed to have the strength. I swallowed the knot in my throat, and pushed the door open.
I immediately noticed my fire demon. His black attire stood out against my primarily white walls.
"Hello Hiei." I stated, accompanying it with in my signature smile. Though unsuccessful at hiding it he was, Hiei's response was almost nonexistent, a small grin, almost mocking, telling me I'm not worthy of a wide smile.
"You were gone a long time Hiei, has Murkro been keeping you busy?" I asked off handedly, simply trying to get my mind off its current trail. I know Hiei hated to talk about anything involving himself, so I didn't expect an answer, just an acknowledgment in the form of a "hn".
"Hn. Yes, she had me on border duty." My head snapped up in response to his. . .response. What was different, why was he paying attention to what I said?
I wiped the surprise, that would be evident to even the most oblivious, off my face. "Did she give you a vacation then?"
"No, actually Koenma sent for me. . .we have another mission." He stated quite simply, and I couldn't help but be enraged by his lack of concern. I didn't expect him to come out and say he missed me, he couldn't live another day without me, but did he have to be so harsh?
"Is that why you came to see me then?" I was well aware my tone could have frozen a small country, but at the moment I didn't care.
Hiei remained silent, I suppose I caught him off guard and he didn't have a premeditated answer to hit me with. . .that's what it had to be. Really. I wasn't even going to try to fool myself into believing he might have been effected by my question. Maybe he was just confused. Maybe I was just letting my emotions control my logic again.
"I mean, Hiei, is that the only reason you stopped by?" It took an amount of effort to return my voice to its normal tranquility, but I needed to control these damn emotions. Being a Ningen has made me too open to expressions, I need to retain some semblance of control. I was Kurama, after all. I was the calm one.
Hiei remained quite, and I decided I must have proved to him why he never talked to me. . .whatever. Hn. He didn't even notice I was almost naked. . .well there goes that part of the plan. . .right out that infernal window. I shivered a bit. I suppose since it didn't seem to matter to him what I wore or what I looked like, I 'd get dressed. I noticed Hiei turn around to stare at the maple outside. Well maybe it did effect him, my nudity. . .that or he was just a decent person who didn't use his friends to get peep shows. . .AH. Whatever. I pulled my pants shirt on, followed by pants and socks.
"So what is this mission, Hiei?" I said, simply to break the deafening silence that rang in my ears.
"Hn, he didn't give me any details."he answered in a harsh tone. Great now he was mad at me to top it all off. . .
"But he did say it was urgent, so could you possibly hurry up?" Oh, so not only was he mad, he now decided to take out his extra anger on me. . . well isn't that nice.
I let out a deep breath, trying to maintain a calm voice, "Then we should be leaving right away."
He turned to discover I was dressed. And with a short "Hn." exited out the window.
"Well that's nice Hiei, just leave me here, why the hell did you bother waiting in the first place?" A yelled at the now empty room.
"K'so" I hissed as I also jumped out the window and raced at full speed to try to catch up with that damn youki.
Author's Note: *smiles* I know, I know, I'm not being very fair to Kurama, the first chapter he. . . well I already said it once. .. and in this chapter he. . .needs to take a cold shower, but if this story turns out anything like planned it'll make sense why I'm so cruel. . .not that I don't enjoy it, mind you, I've read too many fanfics beating on Hiei, having Hiei hurt Kurama's feelings, having Hiei rape Kurama, and just making Hiei the bad guy, so I decided it was time to make one with Kurama as the "bad guy?"
Translations:
K'so –dammit
Youki– demon(roughly)
Ningen–human
ah, I think thats it. . .
