Story: Shuiichi One Half
Nice reviews, I'm expecting some flamers from Jenny for the last chapter. . .
*Sniff*, Kurama's getting framed in here . . .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter Nine: Takimi's Revenge
General POV
Kurama and Hiei were walking home (namely, Kurama's apartment). The woman who was hiding in the trees cackled. "It's about time, Kurama, after what you did to my poor fiancé . . ."
*~*~*~*~ The Next Evening: 6:55 ~*~*~*~*
Hiei's POV
Kurama came home, saying gleefully, "I survived another day with the curse!"
I didn't know what to say, so I just shrugged it off with my usual, "Hn."
He said in a lower voice, "I have to do something. Don't expect me back until eight." (A/N Bad choice of words, Kurama . . .)
I smiled grimly, replying, "Alright."
He left. I stood a while, before deciding, "I'm following him."
*~*~*~*~ Twenty minutes later ~*~*~*~*
Hiei's POV
I searched for his smell. To my puzzlement, there were two trails, one leading to Shiori's home, and another to the woods. I chose to follow the latter . . .
Soon I came upon a voice. "Oh, you are so much better than Hiei, I was just using him, I don't really love him . . ."
My heart pounded. It was Kurama's voice. I peered at them secretly. He was making out was a male human with short brown hair in girl form. I gasped and ran. I knew of some shape-shifting monsters, but no one besides people on Koenma's side knew about Kurama's girl form. It had to be him.
I suppressed my tears and ran to Kurama's apartment, waiting for him to get home so I could confront him. So this was what he had been doing . . .
*~*~*~*~ Kurama's apartment: 8:00 ~*~*~*~*
Kurama's POV
I came home exhausted, having played messenger boy for my mother, who had an accident and was hospitalized, and my stepfather, who was at her home. My stepbrother, Shuiichi (A/N Something I'll never get . . .), was begging me to stay, but I couldn't break my word to Hiei.
As I came in, Hiei sneered at me. I looked at him, bewildered. He said in a choking whisper, "So that's what it's all about, huh?"
I stared at him, even more puzzled. "What are you talking about?" (A/N really bad choice of words, Kurama *shakes head*)
Hiei sniffed. "You pretend that you really like me, and then run off with some pimp in the woods. Stop lying to me already!"
I stared at him. I said carefully, "Hiei? What exactly did you see?"
He snickered painfully. Talking in a slightly hysterical voice, he said, "You and some other guy were . . . were . . ."
I understood now. It had to be a shape-shifting monster. I questioned him, "Was 'I' a girl or guy?"
He said, "You're a really good actor, Kurama . . . I know that you know. Girl, of course."
He turned to leave, whispering, "I don't want anything to do with you. You broke my heart. I'm not returning it."
I stared at him, now baffled. He . . . was in love with me? I jumped up, crying, "Hiei! Wait . . .!"
He vanished. I put my hands on my face, and then heard something clatter to the floor. I looked down and gasped. Hiei's tear-gem.
Hiei was . . . crying? He must've been crushed really bad. Hiei's (and Yukina's) tears dissolve into pearl-like jewels; they're worth millions of dollars, and it takes a lot for a Koorime to cry.
I sat down, stunned, saying with a clenched fist, "I'm not letting you go that fast, Hiei. I'll find the demon that did this. And clear my name."
*~*~*~*~ Next Day ~*~*~*~*
Kurama's POV
Pacing back and forth in my apartment, I thought, /Hiei said that he found me in the woods . . . so that's where I should look/
In the woods, Youko's amazing power of smell kicked in. I sniffed the air for any trace of demon . . . Finally I picked up a familiar smell. Racing, I ran into a clearing. I gasped. It was a mirror image of me.
It immediately turned back into a familiar face . . .
"You!" I snarled. (A/N Kurama's pissed, not a good thing)
Takimi smiled, triumph written in her face. "Me," She said coolly.
Her leg had healed, but her hand was still gone. She smiled. "Might I add, it felt so lovely in your form."
I growled. Then, I thought, /It makes sense now. She saw me turn into a girl, so naturally, she would know/
I compressed my temper, saying calmly, "Why?"
She answered in a bitter voice, "For the death of my fiancé. You killed him. You killed Karasu." (A/N O_O Karasu had a fiancée? And here we've all been thinking that he was gay! ^_^)
My eyes widened. How could that creature have a fiancée and still be flirting with me at the Dark Tournament?! I closed my eyes briefly. In that second, she was gone. I looked around. Cursing, I vowed, "I'll get you back for this, Takimi . . ."
Collapsing, silent tears trickled down my face. "I'm sorry, Hiei . . ."
*~*~*~*~ Hiei's POV ~*~*~*~*
I was in the woods. I still loved the fox. But now . . . he probably meant what he said in the woods the other night. I was just being used . . .
I gave a bitter laugh, saying aloud, "After all, who could love the Forbidden Child?"
Another tear gem clattered to the floor.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I know, it's sad . . . Please, no flamers, it'll get better.
