When Dealing With Spirits By Pixie Ayanami
Chapter 8: Unwanted Confusion
The next day, the two boys found no surprise when they heard school was cancelled. In the state of shock from yesterday, who wouldn't be? Except for Kurama and Hiei, that is. Sure, they didn't expect that the fighter would suddenly get stronger themselves, and have to resort to spirit energy to beat it. But on most of their missions something eccentric like this would occur. They were used to the random changes in battle.
They both sat at the kitchen table with two mugs of coffee in their hands. The soft breathing emitting from the two of them was the only sound made besides the occasional sips of coffee. Hiei felt uncomfortable. Not only did he not like silence that seemed to always occur recently between Kurama and himself, but also the fact that Kurama was giving him odd looks. Again. He did not like how longing his gaze seemed to be. He decided to stop looking at Kurama and turned to the wall instead. Wall then to the coffee, then to the table, floor, and window before he finally said, "Would you stop looking at me? It makes me feel uncomfortable."
Kurama was a bit taken back by the request but not at all surprised. He panned his gaze down to his own coffee. "Sorry, Hiei," he apologized, with some sadness in his voice. Hiei found that to annoy him, too. In fact, ever since that morning incident two days ago, he found a lot of things Kurama did very uncomfortable. For instance, the day before when Kurama was treating his wounds, his touch made Hiei shiver. All he could do was keep talking in order to ignore it. He didn't think that Kurama did that on purpose, but it still scared him in such a way that nothing else has ever had.
Now this uncontrollable silence nipped awkwardly at his ears. Finally getting annoyed with this, too, he decided to start the conversation on his own. "I have to go meet that girl, Ami Kido, tonight," he said casually taking a sip from his coffee. He found that ever sense that morning he hated coffee, too. But Kurama made it and expected him to drink it, so he swallowed the bitter tasting fluid down his throat. Maybe it woke people up in the morning because they can't stand the bitterness themselves, and get a shock with every time they taste it. Or maybe not. He has seen a few occasions were people became extremely hyper after drinking this ningen drink it had no effect on him, though. He wondered why.
Kurama looked up from his drink when Hiei made a statement. He usually doesn't like to start conversations. But he must have noticed the unruly silence, as well. "Oh, that's right, your match is going to be next week, right?"
"Yeah. Today we have to go over the rules of the last match and what will happen when we win, and all that useless crap," he replied. Kurama chuckled: something Hiei didn't mind. Actually enjoyed. He didn't know why.
"I'll come with you, ok?" Kurama asked. Hiei simply nodded.
"Then we can go look for whatever that black light was," he said, wincing at the taste of his coffee. Damn. Kurama noticed.
"Hiei, you don't have to drink the coffee if you don't like it."
Hiei has been drinking the coffee when Kurama handed it to him, and he wasn't about to swallow his pride so that he didn't have to swallow the coffee. He took another drink and glared daggers at Kurama, just to spite him. This was just like Hiei. Kurama laughed at the thought. Hiei pouted and turned away. Which made Kurama laugh more.
Hiei smiled himself. And then immediately gulped down some coffee. He didn't want Kurama to see him smile because of something funny he accidentally did. Putting back on his mask, he glowered, "What are you laughing at, fox?"
"You're just acting so cu-"
"Don't You Dare Call Me That 'C' Word, Kurama," Hiei threatened. Kurama chuckled. He got up and walked to the sink to start dishes, petting Hiei's hair as he past. Wha the hell was that about!?
"Do you mean 'cute,' Hiei?" Kurama asked with a mischievous tone in his voice. Hiei reddened at the tops of his cheeks.
"I'm gonna go change," he said dashing out the room. No matter how fast he was Kurama still got a glimpse at his face, and laughed again at the thought of Hiei being embarrassed.
'What the hell is that fox doing to me?' Hiei thought as he pulled off his pajama top that belonged to a set that Kurama gave him. He looked at the top. He shuddered and fell on his bed holding his head. 'Those are Kurama's pajamas! I'm wearing his clothes!' Kurama is a friend. Nothing more. Nothing more.. Hopefully. What happened two days ago was a mistake. He told himself this over and over again. 'Kurama just caught me off guard. It's not like I wanted that-'
"Stupid! You didn't even pull back!" a voice screamed at the back of his head. Hiei looked up in alarm. He settled back down after figuring it was his mind.
"I.. I was confused," Hiei whispered to himself.
"No you weren't. you knew the whole situation."
Hiei's eyes widened.
"And you liked it."
" I didn't like it!" Hiei said a little louder, "If I did I would have finished what I started."
His mind said nothing for a moment. Hiei got up and started dressing himself again.
"Says you," it haughtily answered. Out of impulse Hiei rammed his head into the wall. Which wasn't a very good idea. An idea that hurt. Badly.
"Hiei? Are you alright up there?" the muffled voice of Kurama asked, worried. He must have heard the collision.
"I'm a. fine," Hiei said rubbing his head.
"Are you sure? It sounded like you fell," Kurama asked further, his voice right outside the door.
"You want Kurama! You want Kurama!" chimed the little voice in the back of his head. Hiei was becoming agitated.
"Shut up!" Hiei hissed.
"What was that?" Kurama asked, cracking open the door.
"Close it! I'm getting dressed!" Hiei exclaimed.
"And believe me, you will finish what you started!" it piped in. Hiei yelled in frustration.
"Oi! What's wrong?!" Kurama asked, opening the door. To find Hiei in his boxers. They were back with blue polka dots. Smiling in their states of shock, the two stared at each other for a while, blushing madly. Kurama finally started retracing his steps backwards in the same nervously flustered state.
"That's the last time I drink coffee!" Hiei complained, and finished putting clothes on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I should be back in about 2 hours. I don know what the hell they're gonna talk about, but that's the time they gave me," Hiei explained that night. It was five at night, and was still a bit light out. Kurama nodded, and sat down at a bench outside the building Hiei was directed to go to.
"Alright. I'll be waiting right here, reading," he said motioning to his book, "When you come out we'll work on our mission. Ok?"
"Yeah, sure," Hiei agreed. He waved good bye and casually walked through the front doors. Kurama took out the book and started reading, but before long people came over to him and started talking. He was quite popular in this school, but of course, he is where ever he goes.
Hiei took a seat in room 402, the room that they were directed to. A few minutes after he arrived, another came in. The girl's short blonde hair bounced to and fro with each step taken, and her bright pink eyes bore their own interesting smile. Generally, she was cute, adorable, and trendy looking, everything that Hiei hated. Smiling cutely, she stuck out her hand.
"Hi! I'm Ami Kido! I'll be your opponent next week!" she happily announced, flashing him pearly white teeth. Hiei crossed his arms and glared at her hand, daring it to come any closer. She reluctantly pulled away while still baring the smile that faded a little. At that moment the principal, teacher- in-charge, and referee walked into the classroom, all in their own little serious looks and attitudes. Ami quickly sat down in a chair, and attentively sat up straight, ready to absorb whatever it was that they had to say.
"Hello," the principal started, "as you know, we are here today to discuss the match that will occur next week." Hiei could already tell that this would be a long and boring discussion. "We first want you to know each others names. Ami Kido," he pointed to the bubbly little girl, "and uh.. Hiei Jaganshi," he said pointing to Hiei. Hiei was appalled that this guy didn't even know his name.
"The both of you show brilliant amounts of potential, and are at the top of every class," the teacher explained, brimming with pride because he thought that it was because of him that they were doing so well. He pushed up his thick glasses and smiled proudly. Hiei laughed silently to himself. That was a lie. First of all, Kurama was the definite top student in the school, far smarter than the teachers, for that matter, and he was more than likely a better fighter than the blonde sitting next to him. If it wasn't for Kurama, Hiei wouldn't be doing as well as he was in class. "And we know that good grades always come first before fighting skills, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.."
Boring, boring, boring. Hiei could be doing something worthy right now and instead he was sitting hearing this stupid teacher lecture them on life. Maybe this is why it would take so long. After about a half hour of this, the principal finally took over again.
"Now we would like to go over what happened at our last fight," he said, eyeing Hiei cautiously. Hiei merely stared out the window. "These matches always get crazy by the end of the season," he stated, "Students don't usually get hurt, but we never know what to expect. That is why the very last match is held away from everyone, and is at the top of our garden, over there," he gestured to the garden of roses outside the window. Of course, Hiei already knew this. That Yukina look alike already filled him in on that.
"This is our biggest event of the year," the referee piped in, "It really is a site! The whole school looks up from the bottom and cheer for the one they wan to win, holding banners, and such."
"Which reminds me," the principal began, "How about you explain the rules again?"
"Very well!" the referee happily accepted the offer, and started to recite the rules. He was like some kind of walking, talking rule book. He explained everything like it was memorized or like it was an instructional video tape, with out it being on a television. Hiei sighed. He didn't want to hear this again.
The first hour finally finished, with the referee still talking about the rules, the principal nodding his head like he was still listening, the teacher correcting papers, Hiei staring outside, and little Ami still looking as prompt and attentive as she did, with a smile at that. Hiei almost dozed off before he noticed Kurama outside. He was walking off with someone towards their dormitory. The person was shorter than him, and was all in black, and.. And it was him? That didn't make sense. Something was definitely wrong.
"How much longer is this going to take?" Hiei interrupted impatiently. The principal was glad for the interruption, for he was practically sleeping on his feet.
"Yes, you are quite right, we should be getting on. I'm sure you gave them the general information," he stated stifling a yawn. Hiei frantically looked back outside the window. Kurama and the boy that looked like him walked inside their house. If these people didn't finish soon, Hiei would run out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama glanced up at the doors of the building and noticed Hiei walking out of it. He was confused. It was only an hour in. "Hiei, what are you doing here? It's only been an hour."
"They ended it earlier than I thought," Hiei explained. Kurama nodded.
"Well, let's get on that case. Where should we look first? I think that sense we saw the light in the middle of the university, we should go-"
"I'm uh.. Tired. Let's just go home," Hiei interrupted. Tired? That wasn't very likely.
"Was it that boring?" Kurama asked, "It must have, you don't get tired easily."
Hiei nodded. "Let's go."
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Kurama fiddled around for the key in his pockets. He finally took it out and opened the door. Kurama stretched and walked up to his room.
"We can go look later, you just go get some rest," Kurama instructed, while walking into his own room. Hiei stared up the stairs, and after a while, followed after him. He went into Kurama's room to find him sitting in the chair at the desk doing what was probably homework. The window was open, letting in a refreshingly warm breeze. Because it was dark, Kurama had turned on a lamp that gave the room a soft and welcoming glow. He stared at him for a while, watching him scribble out answers and recalculating them on his homework.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Kurama asked feeling Hiei's ki. Hiei stood around for a while.
"I don't feel like it," Hiei muttered. Kurama shrugged.
"Alright whatever," Kurama said. Hiei crept up behind him. Kurama peered up, and then went back to his homework. Hiei began to poke him on the head. Kurama giggled and looked up. "Hiei?! What are you doing-"
Hiei wasn't poking anymore. In fact, he was gently nibbling the top of Kurama's ear, massaging the back of his hand, as well. Kurama dazed. This wasn't right.
Pulling back, Kurama stared up at the fire demon, searching in his eyes for the reason why. Lust danced in his giant red orbs, his desire apparent. "Hiei?!" he cautiously called, trying to bring him back in reality. Kurama didn't think Hiei would ever want this, unless with good reason. And he didn't have any good reason, especially since he said nothing.
Hiei moved in closer, cornering Kurama in the corner. In the process, Kurama knocked over the lamp, making it jump off the table and accidentally unplug itself from the socket. In the darkness, Hiei reached out for Kurama's hands and grabbed them with his right. He sucked mournfully on Kurama's neck, while unbuttoning his shirt with the left.
Kurama dazed again, knowing that it wasn't right. Even if he did love Hiei, he didn't want it like this. Snapping out of his stare, he starting struggling, begging Hiei to let go.
"I. I don't want this, Hiei! Let go!" he pleaded softly as he started to walk along the wall, barely wriggling his hands out of Hiei's grasp.
"You wanted this," Hiei said blandly. Kurama shook his head.
"No. not like this." he tried to convince. His heart beat to loudly for him to talk any louder. It sucked all the energy out of him to pound against his chest, making his movements sluggish and his chest hurt. Even if Kurama asked for him not to, the fire demon let go for a moment, stripping off his own shirt. He proceeded to push Kurama against the wall, and started taking off his pants.
Kurama definitely didn't want to be in this position right now. He started to hurt all over, especially his head and chest. Grabbing his pants, he pushed away from Hiei and ran to the other side of the room. He looked up. Since when did Hiei get a scar on his shoulder? It was rather dark, and crossed. more in the shape of an X than anything else..
At that moment, the door burst open, with another Hiei frantically glaring daggers at the shirtless one. Kurama grabbed his head in confusion and slid down to the floor, panting. The one with the X looked down ashamed, before speeding out the open window.
Turning to Kurama, Hiei asked, "What did he do to you? You're not hurt, are you?" Then he noticed how molested Kurama looked. Kurama sat wide eyed, with his hands over his face. He still panted hard due to how heavily his heart beat went. Two arms pulled him close, caressing his read hair. How could this happen to him? Why would this happen to him? His head was filled with thoughts that hurt his head and eyes even further. The stroking of his hair didn't do a thing for him, with him still in shock.
"It's alright.." Hiei cooed. Kurama shook his head.
"No it's not!" he exclaimed. Hints of sobs formed in his throat even though his eyes were dry. "I don't know why.. I didn't know..!"
"It was an imposter. Not me. I would never do that to you," Hiei continued. Kurama dug his face in Hiei's chest. He felt like throwing up. He was so easily tricked! Just like that! He grabbed his aching chest. To be fooled like that.. To be betrayed like that. He didn't want to experience that.
But the tears still didn't come. Was he scared into a state where he couldn't even do anything? Not even to cry, even though it was his least favorite activity in the world? He didn't know. Hiei grabbed the hands away from his face.
"Kurama, snap out of it! No one's here to hurt you now," Hiei demanded. Kurama's eyes softened. He lunged for Hiei and hugged him, despite what he was feeling.
"You wouldn't do anything against my will, right?" he asked. They laid on the floor, just the two of them. Kurama's head rested on Hiei chest, which was pounding faster with each second. All Hiei could do was stare up at the ceiling.
"That's right. I.. I would never do anything to hurt you," he explained a smile forming on his lips. Hiei looked down to find Kurama asleep. He must have used up all his energy during this occurrence. Smiling more, he closed his own eyes. Only for this night.. Just this one he'd go with Kurama to make him happy. But he knew: whatever was happening here, Kurama's safety along with happiness seemed to be at the top of his list.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
O.o *shudders* Oi! Told ya it'd be odd! First of all, this is a long chapter. I didn't think that it would be. And second of all, Ami is bratily annoying, but I love her. Third, I put Kurama in *way* too much torture. Death threats, losing battles, molestation. Why do I do it? I don know. But this chapter made me very uncomfortable to write, and now I have a head ache along with an aching chest. And my neck hurts. I feel whatever the character's does at the time and oi. gets out of hand. It will probably only get worse. Sorry! ^^;;;;
When the whole story is together in a way that is not spaced like this, it is 33 pages long. O.o;;; Yes I write a lot.
Who knew Hiei wouldn't like coffee? Maybe that's why he heard voices in his head. That voice is the better side of him that realizes his feelings more. And I had to make a comment about his underwear. I'm gonna draw a picture of this. XD
And to let you know, Hiei's not in love yet. He's just softening up. Kurama's a dear friend, and he wants the best for him, despite how they almost kissed. That was mere fun for me, although it's big in the story, as you could tell.
Er. I'll be starting (hopefully!) some more fanfiction in the Rurouni Kenshin and Zelda categories. I have the ideas sorted out, now all I need is the set up! ^^
Now that I have actual reviews, I wanna talk to some people!
Tatoosh: Thank you for being so nice, and reviewing on every update! You really make my day, and figure it's all worth it. Thank you!
OliverWoodFan03: Thank you for saying I have talents in writing! My teachers say that I have been improving, why just a year ago I was a horrible writer! But now I write like crazy! ^^ Thank you!
Mimiru: Uh. thanks for thinking my story is. great? According to you, everything in my story is great, and that's just great! You are a great person. Thank you!
Nabooru the Tempest of Fate: Yes, yaoi is great! XD
Rin the Kitsune: Heehee! You'll find out what that evil Karasu is up to soon! Just wait!
And that's it! I love reviews, so please give me more! I'll give you the best updates I can muster up! ^^ Please review!

When Dealing With Spirits By Pixie Ayanami
Chapter 8: Unwanted Confusion
The next day, the two boys found no surprise when they heard school was cancelled. In the state of shock from yesterday, who wouldn't be? Except for Kurama and Hiei, that is. Sure, they didn't expect that the fighter would suddenly get stronger themselves, and have to resort to spirit energy to beat it. But on most of their missions something eccentric like this would occur. They were used to the random changes in battle.
They both sat at the kitchen table with two mugs of coffee in their hands. The soft breathing emitting from the two of them was the only sound made besides the occasional sips of coffee. Hiei felt uncomfortable. Not only did he not like silence that seemed to always occur recently between Kurama and himself, but also the fact that Kurama was giving him odd looks. Again. He did not like how longing his gaze seemed to be. He decided to stop looking at Kurama and turned to the wall instead. Wall then to the coffee, then to the table, floor, and window before he finally said, "Would you stop looking at me? It makes me feel uncomfortable."
Kurama was a bit taken back by the request but not at all surprised. He panned his gaze down to his own coffee. "Sorry, Hiei," he apologized, with some sadness in his voice. Hiei found that to annoy him, too. In fact, ever since that morning incident two days ago, he found a lot of things Kurama did very uncomfortable. For instance, the day before when Kurama was treating his wounds, his touch made Hiei shiver. All he could do was keep talking in order to ignore it. He didn't think that Kurama did that on purpose, but it still scared him in such a way that nothing else has ever had.
Now this uncontrollable silence nipped awkwardly at his ears. Finally getting annoyed with this, too, he decided to start the conversation on his own. "I have to go meet that girl, Ami Kido, tonight," he said casually taking a sip from his coffee. He found that ever sense that morning he hated coffee, too. But Kurama made it and expected him to drink it, so he swallowed the bitter tasting fluid down his throat. Maybe it woke people up in the morning because they can't stand the bitterness themselves, and get a shock with every time they taste it. Or maybe not. He has seen a few occasions were people became extremely hyper after drinking this ningen drink it had no effect on him, though. He wondered why.
Kurama looked up from his drink when Hiei made a statement. He usually doesn't like to start conversations. But he must have noticed the unruly silence, as well. "Oh, that's right, your match is going to be next week, right?"
"Yeah. Today we have to go over the rules of the last match and what will happen when we win, and all that useless crap," he replied. Kurama chuckled: something Hiei didn't mind. Actually enjoyed. He didn't know why.
"I'll come with you, ok?" Kurama asked. Hiei simply nodded.
"Then we can go look for whatever that black light was," he said, wincing at the taste of his coffee. Damn. Kurama noticed.
"Hiei, you don't have to drink the coffee if you don't like it."
Hiei has been drinking the coffee when Kurama handed it to him, and he wasn't about to swallow his pride so that he didn't have to swallow the coffee. He took another drink and glared daggers at Kurama, just to spite him. This was just like Hiei. Kurama laughed at the thought. Hiei pouted and turned away. Which made Kurama laugh more.
Hiei smiled himself. And then immediately gulped down some coffee. He didn't want Kurama to see him smile because of something funny he accidentally did. Putting back on his mask, he glowered, "What are you laughing at, fox?"
"You're just acting so cu-"
"Don't You Dare Call Me That 'C' Word, Kurama," Hiei threatened. Kurama chuckled. He got up and walked to the sink to start dishes, petting Hiei's hair as he past. Wha the hell was that about!?
"Do you mean 'cute,' Hiei?" Kurama asked with a mischievous tone in his voice. Hiei reddened at the tops of his cheeks.
"I'm gonna go change," he said dashing out the room. No matter how fast he was Kurama still got a glimpse at his face, and laughed again at the thought of Hiei being embarrassed.
'What the hell is that fox doing to me?' Hiei thought as he pulled off his pajama top that belonged to a set that Kurama gave him. He looked at the top. He shuddered and fell on his bed holding his head. 'Those are Kurama's pajamas! I'm wearing his clothes!' Kurama is a friend. Nothing more. Nothing more.. Hopefully. What happened two days ago was a mistake. He told himself this over and over again. 'Kurama just caught me off guard. It's not like I wanted that-'
"Stupid! You didn't even pull back!" a voice screamed at the back of his head. Hiei looked up in alarm. He settled back down after figuring it was his mind.
"I.. I was confused," Hiei whispered to himself.
"No you weren't. you knew the whole situation."
Hiei's eyes widened.
"And you liked it."
" I didn't like it!" Hiei said a little louder, "If I did I would have finished what I started."
His mind said nothing for a moment. Hiei got up and started dressing himself again.
"Says you," it haughtily answered. Out of impulse Hiei rammed his head into the wall. Which wasn't a very good idea. An idea that hurt. Badly.
"Hiei? Are you alright up there?" the muffled voice of Kurama asked, worried. He must have heard the collision.
"I'm a. fine," Hiei said rubbing his head.
"Are you sure? It sounded like you fell," Kurama asked further, his voice right outside the door.
"You want Kurama! You want Kurama!" chimed the little voice in the back of his head. Hiei was becoming agitated.
"Shut up!" Hiei hissed.
"What was that?" Kurama asked, cracking open the door.
"Close it! I'm getting dressed!" Hiei exclaimed.
"And believe me, you will finish what you started!" it piped in. Hiei yelled in frustration.
"Oi! What's wrong?!" Kurama asked, opening the door. To find Hiei in his boxers. They were back with blue polka dots. Smiling in their states of shock, the two stared at each other for a while, blushing madly. Kurama finally started retracing his steps backwards in the same nervously flustered state.
"That's the last time I drink coffee!" Hiei complained, and finished putting clothes on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I should be back in about 2 hours. I don know what the hell they're gonna talk about, but that's the time they gave me," Hiei explained that night. It was five at night, and was still a bit light out. Kurama nodded, and sat down at a bench outside the building Hiei was directed to go to.
"Alright. I'll be waiting right here, reading," he said motioning to his book, "When you come out we'll work on our mission. Ok?"
"Yeah, sure," Hiei agreed. He waved good bye and casually walked through the front doors. Kurama took out the book and started reading, but before long people came over to him and started talking. He was quite popular in this school, but of course, he is where ever he goes.
Hiei took a seat in room 402, the room that they were directed to. A few minutes after he arrived, another came in. The girl's short blonde hair bounced to and fro with each step taken, and her bright pink eyes bore their own interesting smile. Generally, she was cute, adorable, and trendy looking, everything that Hiei hated. Smiling cutely, she stuck out her hand.
"Hi! I'm Ami Kido! I'll be your opponent next week!" she happily announced, flashing him pearly white teeth. Hiei crossed his arms and glared at her hand, daring it to come any closer. She reluctantly pulled away while still baring the smile that faded a little. At that moment the principal, teacher- in-charge, and referee walked into the classroom, all in their own little serious looks and attitudes. Ami quickly sat down in a chair, and attentively sat up straight, ready to absorb whatever it was that they had to say.
"Hello," the principal started, "as you know, we are here today to discuss the match that will occur next week." Hiei could already tell that this would be a long and boring discussion. "We first want you to know each others names. Ami Kido," he pointed to the bubbly little girl, "and uh.. Hiei Jaganshi," he said pointing to Hiei. Hiei was appalled that this guy didn't even know his name.
"The both of you show brilliant amounts of potential, and are at the top of every class," the teacher explained, brimming with pride because he thought that it was because of him that they were doing so well. He pushed up his thick glasses and smiled proudly. Hiei laughed silently to himself. That was a lie. First of all, Kurama was the definite top student in the school, far smarter than the teachers, for that matter, and he was more than likely a better fighter than the blonde sitting next to him. If it wasn't for Kurama, Hiei wouldn't be doing as well as he was in class. "And we know that good grades always come first before fighting skills, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.."
Boring, boring, boring. Hiei could be doing something worthy right now and instead he was sitting hearing this stupid teacher lecture them on life. Maybe this is why it would take so long. After about a half hour of this, the principal finally took over again.
"Now we would like to go over what happened at our last fight," he said, eyeing Hiei cautiously. Hiei merely stared out the window. "These matches always get crazy by the end of the season," he stated, "Students don't usually get hurt, but we never know what to expect. That is why the very last match is held away from everyone, and is at the top of our garden, over there," he gestured to the garden of roses outside the window. Of course, Hiei already knew this. That Yukina look alike already filled him in on that.
"This is our biggest event of the year," the referee piped in, "It really is a site! The whole school looks up from the bottom and cheer for the one they wan to win, holding banners, and such."
"Which reminds me," the principal began, "How about you explain the rules again?"
"Very well!" the referee happily accepted the offer, and started to recite the rules. He was like some kind of walking, talking rule book. He explained everything like it was memorized or like it was an instructional video tape, with out it being on a television. Hiei sighed. He didn't want to hear this again.
The first hour finally finished, with the referee still talking about the rules, the principal nodding his head like he was still listening, the teacher correcting papers, Hiei staring outside, and little Ami still looking as prompt and attentive as she did, with a smile at that. Hiei almost dozed off before he noticed Kurama outside. He was walking off with someone towards their dormitory. The person was shorter than him, and was all in black, and.. And it was him? That didn't make sense. Something was definitely wrong.
"How much longer is this going to take?" Hiei interrupted impatiently. The principal was glad for the interruption, for he was practically sleeping on his feet.
"Yes, you are quite right, we should be getting on. I'm sure you gave them the general information," he stated stifling a yawn. Hiei frantically looked back outside the window. Kurama and the boy that looked like him walked inside their house. If these people didn't finish soon, Hiei would run out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama glanced up at the doors of the building and noticed Hiei walking out of it. He was confused. It was only an hour in. "Hiei, what are you doing here? It's only been an hour."
"They ended it earlier than I thought," Hiei explained. Kurama nodded.
"Well, let's get on that case. Where should we look first? I think that sense we saw the light in the middle of the university, we should go-"
"I'm uh.. Tired. Let's just go home," Hiei interrupted. Tired? That wasn't very likely.
"Was it that boring?" Kurama asked, "It must have, you don't get tired easily."
Hiei nodded. "Let's go."
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Kurama fiddled around for the key in his pockets. He finally took it out and opened the door. Kurama stretched and walked up to his room.
"We can go look later, you just go get some rest," Kurama instructed, while walking into his own room. Hiei stared up the stairs, and after a while, followed after him. He went into Kurama's room to find him sitting in the chair at the desk doing what was probably homework. The window was open, letting in a refreshingly warm breeze. Because it was dark, Kurama had turned on a lamp that gave the room a soft and welcoming glow. He stared at him for a while, watching him scribble out answers and recalculating them on his homework.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Kurama asked feeling Hiei's ki. Hiei stood around for a while.
"I don't feel like it," Hiei muttered. Kurama shrugged.
"Alright whatever," Kurama said. Hiei crept up behind him. Kurama peered up, and then went back to his homework. Hiei began to poke him on the head. Kurama giggled and looked up. "Hiei?! What are you doing-"
Hiei wasn't poking anymore. In fact, he was gently nibbling the top of Kurama's ear, massaging the back of his hand, as well. Kurama dazed. This wasn't right.
Pulling back, Kurama stared up at the fire demon, searching in his eyes for the reason why. Lust danced in his giant red orbs, his desire apparent. "Hiei?!" he cautiously called, trying to bring him back in reality. Kurama didn't think Hiei would ever want this, unless with good reason. And he didn't have any good reason, especially since he said nothing.
Hiei moved in closer, cornering Kurama in the corner. In the process, Kurama knocked over the lamp, making it jump off the table and accidentally unplug itself from the socket. In the darkness, Hiei reached out for Kurama's hands and grabbed them with his right. He sucked mournfully on Kurama's neck, while unbuttoning his shirt with the left.
Kurama dazed again, knowing that it wasn't right. Even if he did love Hiei, he didn't want it like this. Snapping out of his stare, he starting struggling, begging Hiei to let go.
"I. I don't want this, Hiei! Let go!" he pleaded softly as he started to walk along the wall, barely wriggling his hands out of Hiei's grasp.
"You wanted this," Hiei said blandly. Kurama shook his head.
"No. not like this." he tried to convince. His heart beat to loudly for him to talk any louder. It sucked all the energy out of him to pound against his chest, making his movements sluggish and his chest hurt. Even if Kurama asked for him not to, the fire demon let go for a moment, stripping off his own shirt. He proceeded to push Kurama against the wall, and started taking off his pants.
Kurama definitely didn't want to be in this position right now. He started to hurt all over, especially his head and chest. Grabbing his pants, he pushed away from Hiei and ran to the other side of the room. He looked up. Since when did Hiei get a scar on his shoulder? It was rather dark, and crossed. more in the shape of an X than anything else..
At that moment, the door burst open, with another Hiei frantically glaring daggers at the shirtless one. Kurama grabbed his head in confusion and slid down to the floor, panting. The one with the X looked down ashamed, before speeding out the open window.
Turning to Kurama, Hiei asked, "What did he do to you? You're not hurt, are you?" Then he noticed how molested Kurama looked. Kurama sat wide eyed, with his hands over his face. He still panted hard due to how heavily his heart beat went. Two arms pulled him close, caressing his read hair. How could this happen to him? Why would this happen to him? His head was filled with thoughts that hurt his head and eyes even further. The stroking of his hair didn't do a thing for him, with him still in shock.
"It's alright.." Hiei cooed. Kurama shook his head.
"No it's not!" he exclaimed. Hints of sobs formed in his throat even though his eyes were dry. "I don't know why.. I didn't know..!"
"It was an imposter. Not me. I would never do that to you," Hiei continued. Kurama dug his face in Hiei's chest. He felt like throwing up. He was so easily tricked! Just like that! He grabbed his aching chest. To be fooled like that.. To be betrayed like that. He didn't want to experience that.
But the tears still didn't come. Was he scared into a state where he couldn't even do anything? Not even to cry, even though it was his least favorite activity in the world? He didn't know. Hiei grabbed the hands away from his face.
"Kurama, snap out of it! No one's here to hurt you now," Hiei demanded. Kurama's eyes softened. He lunged for Hiei and hugged him, despite what he was feeling.
"You wouldn't do anything against my will, right?" he asked. They laid on the floor, just the two of them. Kurama's head rested on Hiei chest, which was pounding faster with each second. All Hiei could do was stare up at the ceiling.
"That's right. I.. I would never do anything to hurt you," he explained a smile forming on his lips. Hiei looked down to find Kurama asleep. He must have used up all his energy during this occurrence. Smiling more, he closed his own eyes. Only for this night.. Just this one he'd go with Kurama to make him happy. But he knew: whatever was happening here, Kurama's safety along with happiness seemed to be at the top of his list.

O.o *shudders* Oi! Told ya it'd be odd! First of all, this is a long chapter. I didn't think that it would be. And second of all, Ami is bratily annoying, but I love her. Third, I put Kurama in *way* too much torture. Death threats, losing battles, molestation. Why do I do it? I don know. But this chapter made me very uncomfortable to write, and now I have a head ache along with an aching chest. And my neck hurts. I feel whatever the character's does at the time and oi. gets out of hand. It will probably only get worse. Sorry! ^^;;;;
When the whole story is together in a way that is not spaced like this, it is 33 pages long. O.o;;; Yes I write a lot.
Who knew Hiei wouldn't like coffee? Maybe that's why he heard voices in his head. That voice is the better side of him that realizes his feelings more. And I had to make a comment about his underwear. I'm gonna draw a picture of this. XD
And to let you know, Hiei's not in love yet. He's just softening up. Kurama's a dear friend, and he wants the best for him, despite how they almost kissed. That was mere fun for me, although it's big in the story, as you could tell.
Er. I'll be starting (hopefully!) some more fanfiction in the Rurouni Kenshin and Zelda categories. I have the ideas sorted out, now all I need is the set up! ^^
