Russian Roulette
Chapter 14: Sweet Sunset
Hiei's Point Of View
" Hey Hiei!" Kurama said cheerfully, calling me at my house. Yukina had decided to live in the dorms provided from the school with her friend Natsumi, leaving me with the apartment. Without supporting her, I had enough money to do normal teenager things.
" Hey Kurama, what's up?" I asked, shaking the water out of my hair. I had just gotten out of the shower.
" Nothing really, I just wanted to call you."
" So you only call me as a last resort?"
" Not really, I am doing homework right now."
" Oh right, we had it due over the weekend."
" You aren't going to do it are you?"
" Of course not." I sighed, sitting at the table.
" Oh well, you'll probably just end up copying off mine in the morning."
" Don't you have student council things? So you don't even have to turn in the homework." I informed him.
" True. I guess I'll just finish it and write your name instead."
" You don't have to."
" It's no problem. What are you doing right now?"
" I just got out of the shower."
" Are you wandering around your house naked?"
" No, I have a towel on."
" Oh, okay good."
There was an awkward silence for a while.
" Ummm, I-!" We both started. We paused, realizing the other wanted to say something.
" What were you going to say?" Kurama asked.
" You go on ahead." I offered.
" I was going to say, I am going to miss you. I'll try and call you everyday! But I'll be really busy so I don't know. I feel bad about it."
" It's really no problem at all. Summer break is coming up so we can spend alot of time then."
" I guess you're right." Kurama sighed. " My mom has to use the phone. Sorry. I love you, Sayonara!" He said, hanging up.
" Bye." I whispered, putting the phone down. That week I had missed Suuichi so much, but the two days before were the worst ever. I went to get dressed for work. I got home, ate and went to sleep. The next morning I dreaded it, going to school. I didn't want to go, I could have easily ditched and just stayed home, but something urged me to go. I put on my uniform, my necklaces, my bracelets and my backpack and started off for school.
" Look, there's Hiei."
" He actually looks normal."
" Yeah, except for his necklaces and bracelets and that eyeliner."
" He's too girly for me."
" I wonder why Suuichi likes him." The girl gossiped this morning. This was stupid. Is this was Kurama was afraid of? Judgemental girls and jealous boys. They just didn't realize it was funnier to laugh at them, they don't realize they look like everybody else. I gave the group of girls a glare.
" I guess they only talk about me when Kurama isn't around." I sighed. I walked up to my next class, quite lonely. Nobody would talk to me. I kept glancing at Kurama's empty chair next to me. No notes to copy. No questions to ask. That is when I came to the conclusion, school is boring without Kurama. And what made me even more sad, was I knew he was here, just not in class.
" Hiei? Are you paying attention?" The teacher asked.
" No." I grumbled.
" Why not?"
" Because Suuichi isn't here." I sighed.
" Hiei, that is uncalled for. Especally because you've been talking back all week."
" The week just started ma'm." I said, taking the slip she was writing up for me to leave the class.
" Take your stuff with you." She commanded. I got my backpack, took the slip and walked over to the balcony.
" Stupid bitch." I said, crumpling up the slip and tossing it over the railing. I looked out into the city and at the ground where the summer fair was being prepared. It was mostly the boys doing the work while the girls painted and decorated.
" Wow, they're almost done with the stalls and everything." I said, looking around for Kurama. There he was, painting our booth (which was cotton candy and crepes). I watched him seductively, longing to see him closer. I hadn't seen him in a week, I had talked to him on the phone once, but I hardly remember the converation.
" Hey Suuichi!" A bunch of boys shouted to him.
" What is it?" He asked.
" Who is that guy up there watching you?" They said, pointing at me. I stepped backwards a bit so I was out of view of him.
" What guy?" He asked.
" There was a guy up there was black hair and he was just watching you. We thought you might have known him."
" Oh, I do."
" That's creepy. Is he one of your boy admirers?"
" No, he's my boyfriend." He said confidently.
" HUH!? We must have heard you wrong! You mean girlfriend right?"
" No, his name is Hiei. He's my boyfriend. You guys might be first years then?"
" Umm, yeah."
" Hiei and I have been going out for a while."
" You guys are actually in love with each other, and go on dates, and buy each other stuff like other couples?"
" We do all that."
" Ooooh." The boys nodded, quite confused. They left him alone and Kurama looked up at me, I practically fell over, I didn't want him to see me. I blushed a bit and he mouthed something to me. I backed up and blushed even more. What-what did he say? K-Koibito...? He smiled and went back to work, knowing he had done me in. He came into our 8th period class to inform us on the fair.
" Suuichi Minamino will now be explaining the details of our booth and fair to you." The teacher informed.
" Umm, yes." Kurama nodded. " We all agreed on cotton candy and crepes. We finished our booths but we need some helpers on the one on the south side of the gate. Anybody want to help out?"
" I will!" Natsumi yelled. I raised my hand quietly.
" So Natsumi...anybody else?"
" I will Suuichi!" Another girl yelled.
" Ummm..." I said quietly. " I will." I said.
" Hiei, did you want to?" He asked me.
" OOH!!" The class cooed.
" SHUT UP!" I yelled, I turned back to Kurama. " I want to help." I smiled.
" Thank you." He nodded. He finished off some minor details about the fair, but I didn't listen. I just stared at him. I hadn't seen him so close in so long. It was nice to watch him obsessively flip back his hair.
" I guess we have everything in order. So Natsumi Kuzuharu, Sakura Ikiri and Hiei Jaganshi are helping out with the booth as well as me and some other student council members." He added. Everytime Kurama said my name, some girls would giggle.
" Also, you are allowed to wear kimonos to school that day, we'll only have first period and the rest of the day is dedicated to the fair, then we have summer break. Tomorrow will be a short day, only 5 hours long for the fair. I will see you all tomorrow." Kurama said, leaving the room. He took one last glance at me. And the bell rang. I got my stuff together and started walking home, until I saw Kurama in the student council class room.
" Kurama?" I asked. He looked so beautiful with the sunset from the windows shining on him.
" Oh! Hiei! Thank you for volunteering. I didn't think you would."
" It's no problem. You know why I did it though right?"
" I know, so you can feed me cotton candy and spray frosting at me."
" I'm that predictable, huh?"
" No, I just had the same idea." He smiled. " You're wearing a kimono tomorrow?"
" Maybe. I don't know."
" Aww, come on. I am. So is everybody else."
" All the more reason not to." I said, sitting down.
" Do I have to convince you?" He said, pulling up a chair in front of me.
" Possibly."
" I saw you watching me earlier. Did you understand what I mouthed to you?" He asked.
" Yeah." I blushed. Kurama kissed me softly, his warm lips pressing softly against mine. I slipped my tongue in his mouth and touched his. We stopped for a second and stared at each other.
" I--" We started off.
" Go ahead." Kurama offered.
" No, it's okay, go ahead."
" I've missed you." He smiled.
" I've missed you too." I smiled back. " But I still don't want to wear a kimono."
" Too bad." I laughed. " You're going to wear one."
" Okay fine...koibito."
A/N: AWWW! Just in case if you're weird and you don't know what 'Koibito' means. It means love or lover. Which ever. Ummm, the fair is (obviously) the next chapter and then we have summer break. I don't know how many chapters this story is going to be...usually I know...but I don't...oh well! Keep reading!!
