Giving In



The night's air was fresh and cool, as Hiei and Kurama walk to Kurama's apartment. Kurama decided to move out of his home a year ago. When his mother re-married. Glancing over at Hiei wondering what was going through his mind. Kurama loved Hiei more then Hiei will ever know. Kurama just wished that Hiei would open up more, and show some kind of feeling. Hiei looks down as he walks. A state of depression had come over him, once they left the hospital. Hiei knew that he would be alone for the rest of his life. There was no one who could ever love a fire demon like him. Besides, he felt the voice inside him return. Something wasn't right; he just didn't know what it was.

"I see that there is something wrong Hiei" Kurama stops and looks at Hiei.

"Hn" Hiei had stopped listening to Kurama. "No there's nothing wrong. I'm fine." he says quickly, not wanting Kurama to go more into the conversation.

"oh ok" Kurama remains quiet for the rest of the way. Nothing was spoken between the two.

Kurama's apartment look nothing like Hiei's. It was neat, and smell clean. Hiei steps in and takes a look around. He sits on the couch, he let's out a loud sigh. Removing his cloak and boots. Trying to figure out what's wrong with Hiei, Kurama sits down next to him. Hiei just looks away from Kurama, he didn't want to be bothered right now. Happy that his sister was now a mother and in love, but apart of Hiei was still empty.

"You think I don't know" Hiei turns his head slightly to Kurama.

"What do you mean Hiei?" Kurama was confused as to what Hiei was talking about.

"You think I'm still crazy, I see it in your eyes. You can't lie to me Fox" Hiei runs his hands over his scars. Bring up so many memories.

"That's not true, I know your better Hiei, why would say something like that" using a soft and calm voice so Hiei wouldn't get out of control again.

"Maybe I haven't, maybe I am still weak" His voice starts to break up.

Trying to help Hiei calm down and get some sleep, Kurama tells Hiei that everything is going to be ok, and that if he ever needed anything he would be there for him. Hiei just shurgged him off, he wasn't about to open up to Kurama. So giving up Kurama goes to bed, leaving Hiei in the dark by himself. Slowly drifting into a light sleep, Hiei hears a voice call out to him. He sits up and looks around, but their was no one in sight. Laying back down, he hears the voice again.

"Hiei" the voice whispers out to him.

"huh? who's out there?" Hiei sits straight up, there was a little fear in his voice.

"Don't you remember your old friend? what a pitty" the voice laughs.

"N-No it can't be, you died when I did" he panics and gets up from the couch. "Your not suppose to haunt me anymore."

"You fool don't you see I live within you. If your alive then so am I. Only this time, I can take shape" the voice grabs onto Hiei's neck. He was able to use someone else body and control it.

"Let go of me right now, or you'll regret it" Hiei snaps the voices wrist.

"You son of bitch, you'll pay for that." he takes a few steps back.

Quickly standing up. Hiei runs to the voice, and grabs him by the neck, slamming him into a wall. The room was to dark to see what the voice looked like. Hiei takes out his sword, and slices his stmoach. The voice sraches Hiei in the chest, and knocks him intot he window. The moon shines onto the voices body, it was not the evil voice that had made Hiei lose control. It was Kurama....
