to my idea...
They were running, almost skipping with joy through the woods. They
approached a river bank with a cave nearby. The older one thought they
should enter but the younger darker one was afraid. He thought it looked
dark and scary but the other one pointed out that it would soon be dark and
scary outside as well. He followed, reluctantly. They got inside and the
older demon lit a fire by breathing on some dry brush in the corner. The
younger one lay down and trusting the older to protect him, started to doze
off.
He was awoken a short while later by someone undoing the knots of his belt.
He opened his eyes and saw it was his friend. He couldn't understand why he
was being undressed. The dark one pulled the unfriendly hands away from his
pants but the hands were snatched back and struck the little one across the
face. He looked up, his eyes tearing, not with physical pain, but pain at
the betrayal of the other. He realized though that if he didn't allow the
older one to proceed it would cost him his life. As he lay there on his
stomach, in more pain then he thought he could ever experience, he vowed
never to trust anyone. The next morning he woke quietly and dressed. He
took the elder's sword, unsheathed it and stuck it where it would be the
most just punishment. He cleaned it off, put it back in the sheath and left
the cave.
When he got out in the sunshine he was met by a teenage human with red
hair. Staring expressionless. No pity. No joy. Just staring.
Hiei awoke with a jolt.
'It wasn't real. It couldn't have been. Not only was Kurama not in human
form when I was that young, but I didn't even know him as a demon,' Hiei
reassured himself.
'You still don't get it do you? That was a real memory resurfacing in the
form of a dream. That image of your lover boy was your addition. You
engaged in a sex act with a male in that memory and naturally you thought
of the one you want to be on top of you,' Kagyaku said with a tone that
scoffed at Hiei's ineptness at figuring this out.
He realized that no matter how much he protested the dragon was right. All
those images he had been seeing the past four nights were real. They
happened in his childhood. They were what had made him...unfeeling. He
thought that if he lost all feelings that no one could hurt him again.
After he stopped feeling, he took what he wanted when he wanted because he
didn't feel guilt.
_Go to him. Take him. You want him. Just do it_
'Ugh, why is it so freaking hot in November?' Kurama wondered as he peeled
of his now sticky shirt. He got up to change out of his pajama pants and
into his boxers.
"Nice view."
Kurama whirled around. He had just slipped off his pants so this wasn't the
best idea. He realized this a fraction of a second later and grabbed the
nearest piece of cloth to cover himself with. A sock.
Hiei smiled wickedly, knowingly, "You shouldn't leave your window open
when you plan on being naked, fox. Anyone could just walk inside and see
what I did."
"Well, I wasn't exactly expecting company at eleven o'clock in the
evening," Kurama said, voice jerking as he made every effort to reach
behind him into the drawer with one hand, hold the sock in front of his
privates with the other, and all the while not take his eyes off of Hiei.
He could see there was something different about him tonight. And he didn't
like it.
"You may as well drop the sock. It's not hiding a damn thing." Kurama
sighed, but agreed. As he dropped the sock he turned around. There may have
been none outside but there was a full moon in that bedroom.
Hiei cocked his head to one side to have a better look. Just as Kurama
turned around, boxers being pulled up, he snapped it back, but the damage
was done. Kurama knew.
'How very out of character for him. He's seen part of my body exposed
before, our fights have never been very good for my wardrobe, but he's
never seemed to enjoy...Wait a moment...' Kurama suddenly remembered his
conversation with Aries.
~"Lusts? After whom?"
"Well, would I be here if it was anyone but you?" ~
'But Aries said it would be at least a week...It's been merely three days
or so...Perhaps that isn't why he's here and I'm just reading him wrong...'
"What are you doing here this late, Hiei? Is there a new case or
something?" Kurama asked, innocently.
Hiei sat on the bed, and pouted slightly. "Is that the only reason you can
think of that I would want to come here...this late?" Hiei asked, saying
the last bit pointedly with one eyebrow raised.
Kurama tried to smile nonchalantly to hide the fact he didn't notice how
oddly Hiei was acting. "Apparently so, old friend."
