When Dealing With Spirits By Pixie Ayanami
Chapter 10: Trust
The three stared at each other for a few moments. Kurama stood shocked that Yukina stood in front of them, apparently with some helpful information. "Yukina why are you-" he started but Hiei's hand flew up to his face, stopping him.
"Don't be fooled, that's not Yukina," he said in a rather harsh tone of voice, "That's the thing that attacked you last night."
Kurama stiffened and absent mindedly took a step back, ready to defend if that thing wished to fight him. Or was it because he was afraid? Kurama wasn't sure, but he knew he had no time to think about the subject right now.
Yukina opened her mouth several times before speaking, "I'm terribly sorry for what I did last night, Kurama, but it was something I was ordered to do," she apologized slowly, thinking her wording as she talked.
Hiei snorted. "Yeah, right. Your stupid mistakes and orders are the reason why we're in this mess," he said. Gesturing up to Kurama, he continued, "Why don't you tell Kurama the same thing you told me?"
Yukina's gaze went down further. Her eyes started to well up with tears, but of course that is normal for Yukina. Unfortunately, Kurama and Hiei still felt bad to see her cry, even if she was a fake. "It's my fault that Karasu's here," she replied. Kurama tightened his jaw.
"But how?" he asked. She better have a good reason for this, because he honestly could not forgive someone that easily.
"Hiei, I told you why before, but not the whole story," she began. Taking a deep breath, she explained, "I was told by my mother, a little bit before my family died, that we were the last No One's left, and it'd be hard to continue our species. I thought that wasn't fair, and swore to do something about it. I've been searching the Makai for answers and clues most of my life, determined to save my species, even if I'm the last one left.
"One day I came across an old shrine I found in a mountain chain of the Makai. The tablets there spoke of a power that could grant any wish of the beholder. I swore that this could be my chance. After awakening the power, it told me that in order to have my wish fulfilled, I must help it first. I promised that I would do anything to help it."
She paused to laugh. It was very hollow, in fact the emptiness could be seen in her eyes. "How selfish of me, to want something so badly and help a power that wanted to take over all three worlds as God."
"As God?" Kurama inquired, "But how? King Enma is the strongest there is. He wouldn't be able to go against him would he?"
"The power said with my help, it could be done," she answered. Continuing, she said, "So I helped him. I thought this was the only way to save my species. I witnessed it become stronger and stronger. The evil literally dripped off him. I started to think that this was not a good idea."
"Well, duh," Hiei interrupted under his breath. This was rewarded by a good slap in the back of the head from Kurama.
"Don't interrupt!" Kurama said between clenched teeth. Hiei sighed in defeat. "Continue," Kurama urged.
Yukina nodded, "I started to need help sealing him away. I was told by a soul that he could help me, if I revived him."
"And that soul was Karasu," Kurama asked. Yukina nodded.
"So you're gullible. So what?" Hiei mocked. Kurama glared at him.
"We came here to the Ningenkai to seal it here. Karasu did a very good job of helping me. We disguised the place as a university. Normal people wouldn't even know of this place or what it holds, they wouldn't be able to see or sense it. Demons and people with powers would only think its just another school."
"Yes that makes sense," Kurama agreed.
"But it didn't work very well, did it?" Hiei sarcastically asked. He received harder glaring by Kurama.
"I didn't realize that Karasu would make this much trouble. Not only do I have to stay here because of the power, but because he ordered me to stay. Even if he is a ghost, he's still a tangible one, one that can hurt."
"So I've noticed," Kurama whispered.
"Yes, and now he's threatening me that he'll set the power loose if I don't do what he says. I'm sorry Kurama, but I used you as my shield. I told him you might die if that power gets a hold of you in your sleep," she confessed, staring at the ground.
Kurama chuckled a bit. "It's ok," he replied. She smiled a little.
"Thanks. But," she began, "the power is becoming restless. Its power is starting to escape, like what happened to that human during Hiei's fight."
"I see," Hiei replied. Silence followed.
"Er. am I forgiven?"
Kurama nodded. "It was out of your power. You couldn't do anything else," he agreed.
Hiei snorted again, "You're going to forgive her that easily? You trust people too easily."
"I trust you, don't I?" Kurama jokingly asked.
"Yes, and I still think you're a fool for doing so," Hiei retorted, however a small smirk came across his face, "But I don't forgive you. In fact I'm hating you."
"So how do we get to it?" Kurama asked, suddenly breaking the Yukina's smile.
"I can't tell you, it'd surely kill you," she answered slowly.
"We're two of the strongest demons in the Makai. Second only to Yusuke Urameshi. I think we can take it on," Hiei remarked, mumbling the part about Yusuke pretty fast. She shook her head.
"No! I won't put you into that kind of trouble!" she exclaimed before running off. Hiei made a move to go after her, but Hiei stopped him.
"It's alright, Hiei. We did enough for today," Kurama said looking up at the sky, "Look, its already nighttime. We should get going."
Hiei nodded and put a hand to his stomach, "I guess. It'd be pretty stupid to fight something on an empty stomach." Kurama giggled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
They ate some sandwiches when they arrived home, and then settled in the living room to rest. Kurama was laying on the couch, reading a book and drinking some green tea. Hiei dozed off in his chair, thinking of the events that happened that day. The scent of roses lulled around the room, coming from all of the pots that Kurama placed. A couple lamps were lit so that Kurama had light to read, and for Hiei to see what was going on. He looked over to Kurama.
"Kurama?" he called. Kurama placed a finger in his book to save his spot and looked up.
"Yes?"
"Today you said you trusted me. Why?" Hiei asked with a bit of uncertainty in his voice.
"That's easy, you're my best friend. It'd be pretty stupid of me not to trust you," Kurama explained. Hiei shook his head.
"No that's not what I mean. You trusted me when we first met, even though you knew nothing of me. Why?"
Kurama laughed, "I could sense there was something good in you."
"No, there's nothing good in me," Hiei countered. He got up and sat with Kurama on the chair. "I'm the cold hearted forbidden child that only wants to kill and hurt anyone that touches my sister."
"See? You love your sister. That's good," Kurama cheerfully added.
"Yeah, but that's also expected of a brother." Kurama laughed more. "Why are you laughing?" Hiei asked, a little bit annoyed.
"Stop beating yourself up, Hiei, you're not as bad as you think you are," Kurama suggested.
"How would you know?" Hiei asked further.
"Remember, I was Youko, the most feared demon ever," Kurama explained. Hiei nodded his head.
"Yeah but-"
"Stop that, Hiei. Putting yourself down like that won't help you any. You have love, and friendship, and all sorts of good things deep inside you," Kurama said, tapping his chest where his heart was. He blushed a little.
"I only love Yukina. And I don't even think that she loves me back. I'm probably just some kind of scary evil man to her. But even if she did, she's the only one," Hiei said. Kurama shook his head.
"That's not true. Other people love you."
"People like who?" Kurama was silent and shifted his gaze down to his lap.
". . . People like me."
Hiei froze. He knew it wasn't just his imagination! His heart started beating faster, and a funny feeling crept up in his stomach. He certainly felt stupid just sitting there. He had to say something.
"Uh. .. .. Er. . . thanks," he replied. That was a good comeback. Kurama put a marker in his book and stood up.
"Well, I better be heading off to bed," he announced, while walking off.
'Smooth move, Hiei. Now he probably thinks you don't care,' he thought. Immediately he shook his head of that thought.
"No, I don't care. Never have, never will," Hiei told himself. He rubbed his eyes and made his way up the stairs, only to ponder about it in his sleep.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Fluff! Fluffy, fluff, FLUFF! Sorry, I had to do it. And damn, they still didn't kiss! O.o I'm wracking my brains for it! Oh well! ^^ Hmm. .. I wanted to make Hiei a little madder in this chappy. He had good reason to. And Kurama's just to kind for his own good, the poor fella! ^^;;;; And if anyone's confused on Hiei's feelings, don worry: he's just uberly confused, he doesn't know what to think.
So, now you know about everything. Practically everything. Almost everything. Semi-everything. Er.. .. . Yeah, I'm trying to see how I can get the run on periods to work on fanfiction.net for some odd reason they won't for me. Maybe I need to put spaces in between them or something. Well, I'm trying.
Sorry for the late update! I knew what I was going to do, and didn't feel like writing it out. This chappy was a little short, too. I promise that Kurama and Hiei will get together soon! ;;;;
I'm gonna start a new story! It's gonna be a Yusuke/Keiko fic. I love that coupling, too, I think it's adorable! This idea came to me last night, I hope if works! ^^
Here we go again!
Mimiru: *hugs Mimiru because she's such a great person* I hope that Kurama and Hiei plushies shall forever come your way! ^^ Thank you!
OliverWoodFan03: No, I checked. I don't have a life. ^^;;; And ma proud of it! XD
Snowfire: Oo! Me and my friends have been having much fun with the Hiei plushies! Thank you so much!
Jennifred: Hehe. There is no such thing as 'pathetic fluff.' ^^ I'm glad you liked my story! ^^
Thanks guys! As you can tell, I love getting reviews. So. .. . please give me a review! ^^
