Day 3
"How much further do we have ta go, Urameshi?" Kuwabara complained.
"Like I know! Koenma just gave me the name of some town and said 'it's that way' ." Yusuke answered. "Ta hell if I know what we're supposed to find there."
Hiei was walking beside Kurama today, but his eyes were turned to the sky. "It's going to rain."
"So?" Kuwabara said.
Hiei answered him with a glare before turning and walking off toward the right.
"Hey Hiei, where ya' goin?" Yusuke called.
"You idiots can get drenched. I'm going to find shelter." He said over his shoulder.
Kurama smiled at Hiei's social abilities before following him.
"Ya know, that would be a pretty good idea," Jin said, looking at the sky. Touya nodded and they both followed.
Yusuke shrugged and followed. Kuwabara blinked. "Hey guys! Wait for me!"
They came to a big hill that's base seemed to be made of solid rock. "There are three caves big enough to hold people." Hiei announced.
"So that means we gotta pair up. Jin and Touya in one, Kurama and Hiei in another, and me and the idiot? Great." Yusuke said unenthusiastically.
Kurama blinked at his automatic pairing with Hiei. "I...suppose so."
"Hey, no offense or anything, but I think you're the only one Hiei wouldn't murder. Were defiantly not sticking him with Kuwabara." He explained.
"That would be considered a loss?" Touya said, monotony.
"Hey!" Kuwabara.
Kurama nodded. " Alright." Rain drops were already beginning to fall as he followed Hiei into one of the caves. In minutes you could see nothing but the sheet of rain covering the opening. Kurama sighed, sitting down. "How far away from this village do you think we are?"
"We would have made it there by noon tomorrow if we hadn't had to come here." The demon sat with his elbows on his knees, staring out at the rain. "Now we most likely won't get there until after sundown. That's assuming this rain lets up before dawn."
"I see," Said the human. "It is a good thing we came here though. None of us would have been able to get through this."
"Hn."
"How did you know this was here anyway?"
"I know this area perfectly."
"Ah," Kurama said. "You never told me much about what happened before you came to the human world."
"Nor do I wish to."
"Oh," Kurama bit his lip, feeling more then slightly shut out. "Alright."
Hiei glanced over at him, but said nothing. If Kurama found out he was the forbidden child, he might not want Hiei to be his family either.
They didn't talk again until the light began to dim. Kurama had taken out a blanket he had brought with him and was using it as a pillow. He saw the shiver his friend tried to hide. He sat up and put the blanket around Hiei's shoulders.
The demon blinked and looked at him questioningly.
"I Don't need a blanket if you're cold. Why don't you start a fire, you'd be warmer."
Red eyes moved to the floor. "This cave doesn't have the best ventilation."
Kurama tilted his head "That would bother you?"
"No," said the demon. "But it might bother you."
The red head smiled "Thanks for the concern Hiei, but I'll be fine. Don't worry."
Hiei looked up at him again before lighting a small fire.
" There," Kurama commented before laying back down, now using his arms for a pillow.
"Thank you, fox." Hiei said so quietly it was barely heard over the rain.
Kurama smiled "You're welcome Hiei."
This was followed by another silence, only this one was more comfortable. Nothing broke it except the patter of the rain and the crackling of the fire. Kurama was just drifting into unconsciousness when Hiei's voice brought him back to the real.
"What's right Kurama?"
"What?" The groggy Kurama looked up.
"How do you do what's right?"
The human sat up. " What do you mean?"
"How do you know if something feels right or is right." Hiei said, staring at the fire.
"I... I'm not sure how to answer you Hiei."
Red eyes looked up at him. "But you know what's right."
"Not all the time Hiei," Kurama sighed. "I don't know. What's right is... what doesn't feel wrong."
He snorted "And how do I know what wrong is if I don't know what right feels like?"
Kurama ran a hand through his hair, trying to think of a way to explain. "Well, usually, if you wish you hadn't done something, that can mean it was the wrong thing to do. Of course that's not always the case and you wouldn't know till afterwards..." He sighed "That doesn't help much does it?"
Hiei shook his head.
Kurama thought a moment. "How bout this. Right this second, would you kill me? Right now?"
Hiei's eyes widened "No, of course not."
"Why?"
"B-because," He said, " I have no reason too..."
"And why do you need a reason?"
He stared at him. "Because... Because..."
"Because with out one, it would be wrong, correct?"
Hiei blinked and looked back at the fire, contemplating this. "Then, how do I know what's right?"
"Well, wrong is the opposite of right. So, if you don't do wrong, you're probably doing right." Kurama attempted.
"So... I'm doing what's right now?"
"I guess so."
"But... that doesn't make any sense." The demon said, eyebrows deepening.
Kurama tilted his head "Why doesn't it?"
"Last night, Jin told me to do what felt right. If this is what right feels like, then I'm already doing that, so what did he mean?"
Green eyes blinked. "He did?" Kurama looked back at the fire. "Then he was probably talking about what makes you feel right, not what right feels like."
"There's a difference?"
He nodded. "You feel right when... you feel good, or happy. You don't feel sad or worried, or afraid. Does that make sense?"
Hiei didn't answer. Kurama sighed and laid back down. He was just tipping into sleep again when he heard Hiei speak again.
"Then I guess," He whispered, "I've felt the most right when I've been with you."
Kurama looked up at him smiling. "Really? I've felt the most right at the same times."
The demon jumped, having assumed Kurama was already asleep. "Really?" His friend nodded. After a moment, a thought occurred to him. "Kurama, that's not why you came, is it? So you'd still be with me?"
The fox's eyes widened then looked down.
Hiei stared at him. That's what he was willing to give up his life for? To be with him? The forbidden child? "I would have come back. Somehow. I would have found a way."
Kurama's head shot up to look at him. "You would?"
He nodded "Why would I leave the one person that I ever felt right with? The only person that would be willing to be my family?"
Kurama smiled at him. Neither really had anything else to say, so they both laid down.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
" Hey! Hey you in there! Come out here!"
Kurama squeezed his eye's shut, in an attempt to go back to sleep. Who was yelling? And who's arm was around his stomach?
"Oy! What's your yellin for?" Said a familiar voice. Jin, oh yeah, that's right... It all came flouting back to Kurama and his eyes popped open. They were met with red ones, thou they were not looking at him.
Hiei looked down at the green eyes as they opened. "Sh," He said, barley making a sound.
Kurama gave a small nod. It was then that he realized he had been using Hiei's chest as a pillow and the demon's arms were hugging him. He felt his cheeks grow hot.
"We're looking for someone. We wanted to know if you have seen him." Said the strange voice from outside.
"Ya woke me up for that? I should send ya packin' for that!" Jin called.
"We want to know if you've seen Yoko Kurama." The voice said. Kurama's eyes widened. He felt Hiei's arms tighten around him slightly.
"Yoko Kurama? You nuts? That demon's been dead for years! He's just some myth now!" Jin said.
"You'd be surprised," The man growled.
"Come on Atikins. He's not here. Let's go." Said a female voice.
The first voice, Atikins, growled and there was the sound of a group walking off. The sound of Jin grumbling as he went back into his cave was also heard.
Hiei let out a breath and loosened his hold on Kurama. Kurama now wore a deep blush. "Sorry," the red head whispered.
"For what?" Hiei blinked.
"I-I must have rolled over on you in my sleep or something..."
Hiei shook his head. "You've been having nightmares. But they seem to go away when I touch you. You were having a really bad one last night." he said. "You don't remember?"
Kurama shook his head bewildered. "So... you hugged me?"
"Why, was I not supposed to?"
"No, it's not that, I just never thought you would."
"I hugged you the night before we left. And you've hugged me before." Hiei said, growing confused.
" Well yes, but I'm me and your you..."
"Your not making any sense, fox."
"Hey you two!" Yusuke called from the entry way. Kurama looked up at him, blushing, realizing Hiei was still hugging him. Yusuke only grinned and winked at him. "Come on you guys, we gotta get outta here incase those guys come back. Jin says we're not to far from the town now."
Kurama swallowed hard "Alright Yusuke, we'll be right there."
He smiled again and walked back down the hill to where Jin and Touya waited. "You know, I think those to are gonna hook up."
"You figured that out on your own, Yusuke?" Touya said.
"As a matter of fact I did!" The human replied, sticking his tongue out. "And what did you two do last night?" Jin grinned. "Never mind, I probably don't want to know."
"Where is Kuwabara?" Kurama asked as he and Hiei came down from their cave.
Yusuke sighed "I guess I should wake him up."
"Do you think they would fall for it if we tied Kuwabara up and told those people he was Yoko Kurama?" Touya asked. Everyone stared at him blinking.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight... No more ice cream ever again Touya..." Jin said, scratching his head.
"Ooook. Baka! Wake up and get out here or we're leavin with out you!" Yusuke yelled.
"I vote for the later," Hiei said, starting off.
^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%
"Finally!"
The sun had set an hour ago and the group was just now walking into the town. They headed to a Tavern.
"I'll see about Rooms," Touya said. Jin nodded and followed him.
Someone bumped into a demon near the group. "Hey! Watch where you're going you little wench!" He shouted, catching the whole tavern's attention.
"I'm very sorry sir," Said a girl with blue hair and red eyes. Hiei's eyes widened...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hehe!! Did I actually leave it at a cliff hanger? Wow! I didn't think I was capable of cliff hangers.... cool! Thanks Ciu Sune! I'm sure you'll keep me on my toes! I just hope I don't make you use those sharp pointy object....::gulp::
Ok, Hiei was almost painfully OOC in this chapter but...oh well. I liked writing it, it made me think. And that's the best kind of writing a writer can write.
~*~*~*~ATTENTION~*~*~*~ I NEED YOU! YES YOU! And you and you and you and you over there and the you in the corner and you! ::points at you:: Unfortunately, I have not seen any shows past number fifty-something. The one right b4 Kurama battles Karasu. Why? Cause baka Cartoon Network took it off! Wah! I can only pray they put it back on and *FINISH* it. But until then, the only attacks of Kurama's that I know is his rose whip(Of course) , his death seed thing, and his death plant. Any info on attacks would be greatly appreciated and with out it, any major battle scenes are going to be lame.
Also! Opinion question! Would anyone care if I kill off Kuwabara at some point? I seriously doubt it'll make this and agust fic. In case you haven't noticed, he's not my favorite character.
I could also use any information on Hiei's father, if any exists. Thanks for the help!
Thank you's too:
