Russian Roulette

Chapter 12

Kurama's Point Of View

" Stop!" Yukina yelled, stopping me as I ran after Hiei. I slapped her hand away.

" Why should I?" I said.

" He'll just end up killing you! He's a monster! He enjoyed it!"

" Shut up! Hiei's not like that!"

" Only because you think you're in love with him."

" I don't think that...I know that." I said, glaring at her.

" Fine. Have it your way, but when you have a knife in your heart by his hands, don't end up saying I was right."

" I'll remember that." I said, running after him. I ran through the hallways following a trickled trail of blood. As I continued down the hall, the trail seemed to be turning into small puddles and at the end I found Hiei in a pool of blood, his hand gashed open. I panicked for a second but kept my cool. I went to the nearest closet and pulled out some towels for the showers in the locker room. I wrapped his hand with one then wrapped him in two of them and picked him up in my arms.

" You'll be alright Hiei." I said, talking to his unconcious body. I put both of our school bags around my arm and started on my run home.

" It's starting to rain." I said, seeing drops of water run down Hiei's cheeks and seeing some water drizzle from my bangs. By the time I got home I was soaking wet.

" Ah! Suuichi! What's wrong? You're soaked and your uniform is all bloody." Mother panicked.

" I'll explain everything later, but can you get me a few more towels and the first aid kit?" I said, rushing up to my room. I unwrapped the blood stained towel, wincing at the pain he must have felt. My mother came in quickly and cleaned and wrapped Hiei's hand. When my mother left the room, I took off his blood stained and soaking wet uniform and put a pair of pajamas on him. I put him under the sheets in my bed.

" There, I just hope you aren't in a bad mood when you wake up." I smiled, happy that he was going to be alright.

" Suuichi? I brought some tea and some pocky. Hiei likes strawberry right?" Mother asked, setting the plate and the cups on my desk.

" Mother, you can really just bring them in the box, you don't have to put them on a plate."

" Sorry. It's habit." Mother smiled. She glanced at Hiei before she left the room. " I'll bring the heater in here, if it's alright."

" Sure, it's pretty cold. I don't want Hiei to have a cold and a giant gash on his hand."

" I'll bring it in a second." She smiled, leaving the room. She brought it in just as quickly as she said.

" Where do you want it plugged in?"

" Next to the bed should be fine. Thank you mother, for helping me with Hiei."

" It's no problem. You guys are really close aren't you?" She asked. I blushed a little bit.

" Umm, yeah. We're like best friends." I smiled, hoping she didn't see me blush.

" You haven't had a best friend in a while have you?"

" No, actually I haven't. Now that I think about it, Hiei is my first true friend."

" You guys act like opposites."

" Like the saying goes, opposites attract."

" I'm glad you found somebody Suuichi. I was beginning to worry about you being a loner that all the girls like, love and adore. Ooh! Look at the time, I am going to start heading to bed, I assume you're going to stay up?"

" Yeah. I am. Thank you again mother." I smiled as she left. I have to admit, it was true what she was talking about. Hiei has not only been my first girl, I mean boyfriend, but my first real friend at that. I wonder why that was true. We were opposites, yet we are in love with each other. I shook away the thought and started on Hiei and I's homework.

[A Few Hours Later: Around 1:00 AM]

" Hmmmm?" I heard from over on the bed. I saw a pair of red-brown eyes sleepily looking at me. He let out a soft, and very cute yawn.

" Hiei? You're awake." I smiled, setting down my book and my papers. He rubbed his eyes with his good hand and sat up in the bed.

" How'd I get here?"

" I carried you here." I said. Hiei looked around, looking at the blood stained towels and looking out the window seeing hard rain crashing at the roof and window.

" Oh right. I punched the wall, and all I remember fainting in the hallway. My head hurts."

" It's alright, just lay down and get some more rest." I said. He laid down, but didn't go to sleep.

" You carried me in the rain from the school to here?"

" Yeah."

" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause you so much stress. You should have just left me there."

" Don't go that far! Why would I leave you there?"

" After Yuki told you, I bet you were hesitating on finding me." He said sadly, not looking at me.

" Yukina did try to stop me, but I slapped her hand away and told her I loved you." I said, quite embarassed. " Then I ran after you as fast as I could and carried you here." Hiei got out from under the sheets and kneeled on the ground.

" Hiei! You should get back in bed, it's cold." I said. He moved towards me and wrapped his arms around me. He put his head on my chest and I heard him sniffling.

" Hiei? Are you okay?"

" You're the first person to ever care about me so much. I know alot of my old friends would have left me there. But...you didn't. Why? Why didn't you?"

" I told you already. Now, stop crying."

" I'm not crying! I'm just getting a cold!" He said, wiping his tears quickly. He climbed back into bed slowly.

" Sure Hiei." I smiled, laughing a bit. " Oh, I also finished your homework for the weekend and I changed your clothes. I also put them in the wash and everything."

" You spoil me." He said. I got out a blanket from the closet and laid it on the floor.

" What are you doing?" He asked.

" I am sleeping on the floor."

" No you're not." He grinned.

" We can't do it!! My mom is in the next room and what about your hand?"

" Ooh, thinking about that? That's now what I was refering to. After all you did for me, you can come sleep in the bed." He smiled, pulling me onto the bed with his good hand. I turned to face him and he faced me. He kissed me softly a few times on the lips and neck and the same for him.

" Good night Hiei." I smiled.

" Good night Kurama." He said back, and with that, we fell asleep in each other's arms, in what seemed to be heaven on earth. Hiei stayed over at our house for the rest of the weekend, but had to start going home when school started on Monday. But we wished we would have never gone to school.

" Have you heard about Suuichi Minamino?"

" Yeah, I heard he is going out with Yukina's brother, what's his name?"

" Hiei Jaganshi. Isn't he the murderer guy?"

" I think he is, and to think Yukina has to live with the guy."

" Poor Yukina."

" That's a big rumor on Suuichi reputation, not only the fact that he was friends with the guy, but now they're dating."

" I wonder if they've done it yet..."

And that wasn't even the edge of the rumors that taunted Hiei and I that day, people weren't just saying things either.

A/N: Awww, this is getting to the part when I bash those stupid homophobic assholes. __. Ummm, yeah! I didn't like the very beginning, Kurama should have panicked and rushed a bit more, but I think it's fine. I actually wrote that love scene listening to Mariah Carey slow songs so sorry if it sounds too mushy.
