Disclaimer: I could always say that I created Yu Yu Hakusho but then again
I bet none of you would believe that. Yu Yu Hakusho belongs to Yoshihiro
Togashi, Studio Pierrot and all the other people who helped produce it.
Don't sue me; even though I actually have some money (unlike some fanfic
writers out there), and could probably get millions of dollars if I sold
all my anime (which will never happen), it won't get you anything but a
receipt for a lawyer. ^_^;
Notes: This is my first Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic. ^^() And even though I make my friend tape every single freaking episode they put on T.V, I'm still bad at making Hiei mean. =) I'm a majorly nice person, (ask anyone who knows me) so I can't even make Hiei mean. Yaoi. definitely. if you don't like yaoi, Onegai, don't read it and then give reviews on how you hate yaoi. Arigato. Oh yeah, and I was never very good at writing fan fictions so if you hate this, Gomen nasai. You've been forewarned.
"Turning Away Love, for the Sake of Love"
Chapter 1: True Emotions
"Kurama I.." He saw his friend walking away from him.
"Hiei," the figure said. "There is no point in you begging now. I gave myself to you and you swatted me off like an annoying fly. I'm worth nothing to you. So I leave you. alone." With that the figure walked away, leaving Hiei alone in the dark.
"Wait! Kurama! Wait!" He screamed after Kurama but the youko paid no attention to him. He just kept walking farther and farther away.
"I said wait you idiot!" Hiei ran after him in a fury.
"I am in no mood to wait for you." A voice said out of the darkness. "I think I've waited long enough. For hundreds of years, since the first time I saw you, I've waited. But I will no longer be stupid and wait for you. Good-bye Hiei."
Hiei no longer felt Kurama's youki. He had left and Hiei was left stunned in the darkness.
"COME BACK YOU FOOL!"
He awoke with a start and was breathing hard. He had fallen off his tree and was lying on soft grass, lightly touched with rain. It was nightfall. The sky was dark and it was still raining.
"What kind of weird dream was that?" he thought to himself. Then he was reminded of what happened in the dream. Kurama had left him. Needless to say it wasn't a dream. it was a nightmare.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Clank, Clank
Something was being thrown against Kurama's window. It woke him up and he crawled to the window, still half asleep. However, when he saw what was behind the window his eyes opened wide.
"Hiei! What are you doing here?"
"Hn. It's too wet to sleep outside," Hiei grunted as he crawled through the window and into Kurama's bed. He breathed deeply and took in the fox's smell, trying to savor every moment he could spend with the fox. For if his dream. nightmare came true..
"It's not too bad." Kurama looked outside at the rain. "Besides I think your tree will be enough protection from the rain for you." He interrupted Hiei's thoughts.
Hiei was surprised. Normally the fox would be thrilled to have him in his bed without being forced or tricked. But now, he was chasing him away.
"Kurama are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
"Hn. Nothing. I'll be leaving now."
Kurama turned away and held back his tears as Hiei disappeared from view. He couldn't love Hiei, even though he did. If the fire demon interfered with what was going on, it could be the end. for both of them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hn," The little fire demon thought as he sat soaked in his tree. "Kurama's acting weirdly. Hn, I probably did something wrong. I wonder what though." He pondered. "Kurama's always so damn persistent. He would never give up that easily." Hiei's crimson eyes looked up into the dark sky. There were no stars out to light it up, just like his heart was darkened without Kurama to bring light to it.
"Kurama. What did I do?" he whispered and fell asleep as the rain started to clear, but still the sky was left without light.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kurama awoke the next morning and started to get ready for school. In the middle of gathering his books he felt a strong youki coming his way. It was definitely Hiei. Kurama gathered his books faster and started to leave the room, when he heard a voice behind him.
"Don't leave yet." Hiei said with a pleading tone to his voice.
"I'm sorry Hiei but I will be late for school. Good- bye." Kurama started to leave when all of a sudden Hiei blurred in front of him, grabbed his hair, and pressed his lips against his own. Kurama was taken by surprise and stood in shock until the kiss finally set in. Then he remembered what would happen to Hiei if the little demon interfered, so he pushed him away.
"Stop it Hiei." He wiped his lips on his sleeve. "Please don't do that again. Now I must leave." He brushed by Hiei and walked away leaving Hiei as stunned as ever.
"What is going on? He's acting like the Kurama in my dreams." Hiei widened his eyes in the similarity of his dream to what just happened. Kurama had rejected him and left him standing alone in the hallway. like in his dream when he was left alone in the forest. He stared down the hallway still in shock. He was about to respond when he saw that Kurama had already left. "Hn. I'll just talk to him after he finishes school." He blurred away and started jumping from tree to tree to Kurama's school. "What the hell is going on? What's wrong with Kurama? His stupid ningen school better finish quickly." He sat his tree waiting for Kurama's school to finish. In a short time he fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ring!
A bell woke Hiei up from his nap. He looked out. It seemed that the bell ended the school day and that Kurama would be walking out any minute. He saw a huge crowd of people come out surrounding someone. "Hn, Kurama, or should I say Shuuichi, attracting everyone in sight as usual." He saw Kurama give the fake smile of his, which made all the girls float on air anyway, and then gave some excuse and started walking away. Kurama heard some noises in the trees and started to sense a familiar youki following him.
"Hiei! I know you're there! Come out!"
Hiei appeared from one of the trees and walked up to Kurama. "I need to talk to you," he said.
"About what? There's nothing much to talk about."
"Of course there is! Why are you rejecting me? You've always been so persistent in getting me to be more than just friends with you. Now you're throwing me out like some rotten piece of trash. Were you just playing with me for the past 7 years?"
Kurama turned away and Hiei's question was met with silence. He started walking away when Hiei stopped him.
"No way am I letting you leave until you answer my question. I need to know."
"WHY?" Kurama yelled. "It makes no difference what I feel for you. You hate me anyway. You haven't even showed interest in any of the tricks I've played on you. All of the times we kissed. I could feel that your heart and soul were not in them. This morning, you were probably getting back at me for all the tricks I've played on you. It was probably to show me what I could never get from you. But now, now, I've learned to ignore you, to forget about you. Besides, no matter what I feel for you, it won't get me out of the mess I've gotten myself into. The more you interfere, the more you'll get hurt. So just leave me alone!" Kurama's feelings and emotions came out like a flood and Hiei was surprised at his openness. The surprise of it all had rendered him speechless. He was about to respond when Kurama started to run away. Even though he knew he could outrun the youko, he decided to save his response for another time. He watched Kurama run away into the sunset and thought to himself "How beautiful."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was night, and Kurama sat at his desk doing his homework. Even though it was Friday, he needed to get a head start on all the work he had to do. It was midnight and he was just about to start his English report when he felt a youki coming towards him. When it got to a certain distance, it stopped. It wasn't anywhere near him, but he could still feel it. He had known that signature youki for a while. It was Hiei. However, he was far enough for Kurama to relax about his current youkai situation. He knew he could put Hiei in danger if they fell in love so he decided to push Hiei away. no matter how hard it was. He wondered what Hiei was doing in his neighborhood, and decided that Hiei was either out on some business or on a date. He was hoping his first choice was correct and not his second.
Actually, Kurama had guessed exactly what Hiei was doing. He was out on his own "business" and trying to get a "date" at the same time. However, Kurama didn't know that the business was to convince Kurama that he loved him, and the date. well it's kind of obvious what he was thinking of.
Kurama's eyes started to close and he decided that it would be best to do his English report in the morning, when he had enough rest. He walked to his bed, and as soon as his head hit his pillow, he fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was one o'clock in the morning. Hiei figured that Kurama would be asleep by now. He blurred to Kurama's bedroom window and fortunately it was open. He peaked in to see if Kurama was really sleeping. As he predicted, the youko was sleeping peacefully in his bed, his red hair spread neatly around his face. "He's so peaceful and calm. He looks like an angel. Beautiful." Hiei's thoughts were cut off by a moan from Kurama's mouth.
"Hiei." he whispered in his dream.
"How does he know I'm here? Can he sense my youki even when he's asleep?" Hiei started to hide his youki when he heard another sound.
"Hiei." Kurama said again, a little bit more firmly. "Hiei I need you."
"He's dreaming about me. He needs me? Hn. I must be the one dreaming here."
"Hiei." Kurama mumbled. He stretched his arms out as if reaching for Hiei to come to him.
"I'm here Kurama." Ignoring all his instincts, Hiei slipped into Kurama's bed and into his arms.
He started trailing kisses from the youko's neck to his lips. Then his body moved on its own, no matter how hard Hiei tried to resist it. His small hand caressed Kurama's cheek and he felt the youko move under the light touch. He didn't care. If the youko got mad and woke up, he would at least have the satisfaction of feeling the kitsune's soft, red lips. Hiei's face inched closer and closer and his lips descended upon Kurama's. Suddenly, he felt the lips underneath his start to kiss back. He started to pull back, when he reminded himself that he needed Kurama to know his true feelings, and so he took control of the kiss, pressing his body against the youko's slender figure. His lips now crushed against the kitsune's lips longed for more, but he needed air, and so he broke away, gasping for breath.
Kurama felt something strange against his mouth. He opened his eyes and saw that his lips were being pressed against someone else's lips. He looked up and saw a white starburst of hair in his face and saw that the pair of lips belonged to Hiei. "I must be dreaming." He thought. Convincing himself that this was all a dream, he started to kiss back, feeling a sensation he had never felt before. He felt Hiei's body being pressed against him and he pulled the fire demon closer to him, never wanting the dream to end. However, when the fire youkai pulled away gasping for breath, he realized that it wasn't a dream, and that he needed air too. He started panting and was positive that whatever he just did was not part of a dream.
"Hiei! Is it really you?"
"Huh? What are you talking about kitsune?"
"Tell me, was the kiss real?"
"Of course it was real. Do you have a fever or something?"
"Oh my God! Oh my God!"
"What's the matter Kurama?" Now Hiei was concerned about the fox. He was acting as if he didn't think that what just happened was real.
"Hiei you better go."
"What?! Why?"
"You can't love me! We can't fall in love!"
Hiei raised his hand to Kurama's chin and pulled it down to his lips. He then kissed him hard, and the surprised youko almost fell backwards. Then the fire demon pulled away and looked into the emerald green eyes.
"I'm sorry, Kurama." he whispered. ".It's already too late."
The fox's eyes opened wide at Hiei's confession of love to him, and opened even wider when Hiei started kissing him again.
"Hiei we can't." Kurama stopped Hiei and pulled away from him. "I. I. I'm in trouble and the more you interfere, the more you'll get hurt. I love you Hiei. but we just have to leave it at that. We can't be lovers. We'll just have feelings for each other without actually being together. Now I suggest you leave, before anything happens."
"What? No way! I'm not leaving you. Tell me Kurama. I won't leave until you tell me."
Kurama gave up and decided to tell Hiei what was going on. He was pretty sure the fire demon would find out anyway. one way, or another.
"A couple years ago, I made a huge mistake. I stole a powerful item from the most powerful demon you could think of."
".Shinzoku."
"Right. I had stolen the Medallion of the Goddess. Depending on who owns it, it could either protect or destroy the world. Shinzoku was not very happy with me for taking the Medallion of the Goddess. He knew I would use it for good, ever since I reformed when I met Yuusuke. After about a year, I hadn't used it yet, I had given it to Koenma, so Shinzoku was probably planning on how to get the Medallion back before the world turned into a world of kindness, hope, and" he paused, "love." he trailed off. He looked at Hiei trying to read his expression, but could not read what was on his face.
"Continue," he said.
"So after a while, Shinzoku wanted the medallion back. He wanted to destroy the Makai and take over the Ningenkai. If he got his hands on the medallion, the Makai would be destroyed and the Ningenkai would be taken over by demons. He came to me and demanded that the medallion be given back to him. I told him that I did not have it and that he should look elsewhere. He didn't believe me and tortured me until I told him that I didn't have it but I knew who did. I'm sorry. I had no choice but to tell him." he breathed deeply. ".that you had it. I couldn't risk him hurting Koenma and actually getting his hands on the medallion. I thought that if he came after you, you'd be powerful enough to defeat him."
He looked at Hiei's stunned face and turned away, expecting the youkai to hate him for the rest of his life. Instead, he felt strong arms embrace him and pull him back, his head met Hiei's chest and he rested it there.
"It's alright Kurama. I know you have feelings for the ningen world. I will help you beat Shinzoku and protect your family."
Kurama looked up into Hiei's eyes. They had hints of sincerity and tiny bits of love. "Hiei, this isn't like you. What happened to 'hn' this and 'hn' that?"
Hiei kissed Kurama's forehead and mumbled, "Well, I guess. I'd do it for you."
Kurama's eyes opened wide as he remembered that Shinzoku had said that he would come for the fire demon at dawn. He chased Hiei out of his room saying, "I'm sorry, but Shinzoku will come after you. We can't love each other. If he does not find you, he will come to me. I will draw him away from you. No matter what, you can't love me. You cannot do anything for me. Do you hear me? Nothing! I will not allow you to give up your life for the mistake I made in the past. Go Hiei. Go hide somewhere where no one will find you. Do not show yourself until I send word to Koenma to allow you to be free. Leave! Now!"
He pushed Hiei out the window and shut it tight. He locked it right before Hiei blurred up next to it trying to get back in.
"Kurama! Don't do this alone! I can help you!" he screamed, his voice muffled between the glass.
"It's my mistake, I must do it alone." Kurama yelled back. "Now go!" Kurama pulled down the blinds so that his face was hidden from Hiei's sight.
Hiei gave up on trying to get Kurama to open the window so he blurred away to his most secret place. He planned to hide out there. just for a while.
Meanwhile, the sun peaked through the horizon line. It was dawn.
Heh, I told you Hiei was way too nice in this fic.
Hiei: Hn. You got that right!
Me: hehe, gomen ne. sweat drop
If anyone has any ideas on how to make Hiei meaner in my fic, or if you like Hiei nice, give me a comment.
Hiei: Just help her make me meaner in this fic!
Me: Now Hiei, the readers have a free choice on what they want to read. And if you want someone to do something for you, you have to say please
Hiei: mumble .please.
Me: That's better. ^_^
Notes: This is my first Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic. ^^() And even though I make my friend tape every single freaking episode they put on T.V, I'm still bad at making Hiei mean. =) I'm a majorly nice person, (ask anyone who knows me) so I can't even make Hiei mean. Yaoi. definitely. if you don't like yaoi, Onegai, don't read it and then give reviews on how you hate yaoi. Arigato. Oh yeah, and I was never very good at writing fan fictions so if you hate this, Gomen nasai. You've been forewarned.

"Kurama I.." He saw his friend walking away from him.

I told him that I did not have it and that he should look elsewhere. He didn't believe me and tortured me until I told him that I didn't have it but I knew who did. I'm sorry. I had no choice but to tell him." he breathed deeply. ".that you had it. I couldn't risk him hurting Koenma and actually getting his hands on the medallion. I thought that if he came after you, you'd be powerful enough to defeat him."
He looked at Hiei's stunned face and turned away, expecting the youkai to hate him for the rest of his life. Instead, he felt strong arms embrace him and pull him back, his head met Hiei's chest and he rested it there.
"It's alright Kurama. I know you have feelings for the ningen world. I will help you beat Shinzoku and protect your family."
Kurama looked up into Hiei's eyes. They had hints of sincerity and tiny bits of love. "Hiei, this isn't like you. What happened to 'hn' this and 'hn' that?"
Hiei kissed Kurama's forehead and mumbled, "Well, I guess. I'd do it for you."
Kurama's eyes opened wide as he remembered that Shinzoku had said that he would come for the fire demon at dawn. He chased Hiei out of his room saying, "I'm sorry, but Shinzoku will come after you. We can't love each other. If he does not find you, he will come to me. I will draw him away from you. No matter what, you can't love me. You cannot do anything for me. Do you hear me? Nothing! I will not allow you to give up your life for the mistake I made in the past. Go Hiei. Go hide somewhere where no one will find you. Do not show yourself until I send word to Koenma to allow you to be free. Leave! Now!"
He pushed Hiei out the window and shut it tight. He locked it right before Hiei blurred up next to it trying to get back in.
"Kurama! Don't do this alone! I can help you!" he screamed, his voice muffled between the glass.
"It's my mistake, I must do it alone." Kurama yelled back. "Now go!" Kurama pulled down the blinds so that his face was hidden from Hiei's sight.
Hiei gave up on trying to get Kurama to open the window so he blurred away to his most secret place. He planned to hide out there. just for a while.
Meanwhile, the sun peaked through the horizon line. It was dawn.
