Ok, lets get right into this!
Chapter 11,
Romantic at last
Once Kuwabara had found an apartment he called Jin and Sky Fire over to see it. They approved instantly. It had a large living room, a good sized kitchen, two bathrooms, and two large bedrooms. Sky Fire ran around it for a moment and then ran back to Jin.
"Jin!" he smiled happily. It was clear that there was nothing that he wanted to continue with.
"Glad you like it" Kuwabara could not help it, Sky Fire's smile was contagious, as were his good spirits.
Kuwabara walked out of the apartment and onto the street. Once he looked up to the small balcony that the apartment had. Jin and Sky Fire were both standing there, grinning and waving to him. Once Kuwabara was out of sight they went back inside.
"So, what should we do first?" Jin asked without looking over at Sky Fire.
"Buy stuff to eat, then eat it!"
"What a one track mind you have"
"No, two track" Sky Fire corrected as he planted a small kiss on Jin's cheek. (I already put fame protective notes in, if your against the relationship between these two yet you continue to read, it is your own damn fault so don't flame me about it)
Jin turned slightly pink but gave Sky Fire no response Sky Fire sensed that something was wrong. He had no idea what it could be and he did not want to read Jin's mind. Even if he did read it, he would not know how to fix it. He looked over his options in his mind. He could ask Jin but Jin would just say that there was nothing bothering him. Hiei could probably read Jin's mind and tell Sky Fire what to do but he had enough romance troubles as it was. Kurama had seemed nice enough but he would have no idea what was going on. Everyone else would most likely just think that he was disgusting for being in love with Jin in the first place.
After reviewing his options several times he figured that Hiei was the best option. He could even help him with his love life. He told Jin that he was going to talk to Hiei. Jin did not sound too please but told him to have fun all the same. He knew why this was. Before he had met Jin he had been with Hiei and still enjoyed flirting with him even though Jin meant more to him. It was fun and he was never serious about it.
He felt around for Hiei. He was easy to find, at least to him. When Sky Fire got there, Hiei was sound asleep in a tree.
'A tree is no place for the discussion that I want to have with him. I know that Jin wont be thrilled, but Hiei, your coming with me' Sky Fire carefully picked Hiei up. Although he was normally a light sleeper, Hiei felt safe in this case and could not have been woken up if an earthquake hit.
When he was sure that no one was looking, he started to fly upwards using telekinesis to levitate himself. He also had a feeling that Jin would be rather mad if he found out that Sky Fire could fly himself and did not really need a flight all of those times that he had given him one. He flew safely above the clouds, suffering only slightly due to lack of oxygen.
He spotted the roof of the apartment building and landed on it. He put Hiei down gently, careful not to let his head hit the hard floor. Instead he put his leg in the way. Hiei slumbered softly on his new pillow but the hardness of the ground beneath him caused him to wake up.
"Sky?" He asked before he opened his eyes.
"Yes, right here."
"I want to kill you right now"
"Your on a long waiting list for that one. Touya is on top and I don't think that I am in any danger from him" Sky Fire had no idea why Hiei wanted to kill him but was not planning on exploring Hiei's mind too much at the moment, at least not in a non literal sense. "Hiei, I need a little help"
"You need more than a little help" Hiei noted, still not entirely awake
"Jin is mad at me and I don't know why. I don't want to read his mind because if it is something really bad then it sounds better when it is sugar coated. Could you do it?"
Hiei sat still for a moment, Jagan glowing and eyes closed. He then opened his eyes and looked at Sky Fire. "He isn't mad, he just wants to talk to you about something but he doesn't know how to start."
"That's good, I'll just wait for him to figure it out, probably something about Touya. Oh well, he's nothing but a little slut anyway, cheating on my little Jinny like that!"
"Sky Fire, your record is not exactly clean"
"I know, anyway, I suppose that you probably want help with Kurama. Now, lets go inside"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but there is nothing there to help."
"Hiei!" Sky Fire's mood did a 180 twist as he yelled at his longtime friend. "I cant believe you! I want you to march back to Kurama's room and tell him how much you love him this instant!"
"He knows that I love him but I will not become weak for any reason"
"Hiei," tears welled up in Sky Fire's eyes. "I'm sorry that I hurt you, ok, I'm sorry that I love Jin instead of you, but you need to let go of all of the bad memories."
"If I let go of them then I wont have any left"
"You are willing to give up your happiness, why?"
"To protect the people that I love"
Sky Fire sat there and stared as Hiei walked down the stairs and out of the building. He eventually snapped out of it and walked into his apartment. When he walked in Jin was sitting on the couch. He got up and led Sky Fire back over to it.
"Sky?" Jin put his hand softly on Sky Fire's shoulder. "You'd have better luck talking sense into a brick wall, go talk to Kurama"
"Jin, I didn't mean what I said about how I was sorry that I loved you"
"I know, but you are sorry that you hurt him, aren't you?"
Sky Fire nodded numbly and then laid back on the couch with his head in Jin's lap, staring up at the ceiling. "Everything would be so less complicated. He still doesn't trust me so your right, it is like talking to a brick wall. Well, I suppose I had better go to Kurama's house. Maybe Hiei will listen to him."
Jin watched him walk out of the room. Once Sky Fire was gone Jin started cursing. "Damn you Hiei! Why did you have to do this to my little Sky Fire. I know that you still love him but pushing Kurama away wont help at all! I know that you can hear this, you are right outside of the window."
Hiei stepped through the open window. "I have given up on him but I will never love again."
"Well that is good and fine but you had better get over to Kurama's house before Sky does"
Hiei's eyes widened and he dashed out of the window.
Kurama heard a knock on his window and immediately looked up. He was expecting to see Hiei's scowl but instead found a bright smile. He let Sky Fire in his room. Sky Fire did not enter the room but instead sat on the windowsill.
"Nice room" he muttered as he looked at the faded green walls which were covered with pictures. "I don't want to mess up your nice carpet with my muddy feet so I will just sit here. Now, this will seem like a strange request but I am going to say some things telepathically to you. I want you to repeat them back to me with the same tone of voice. If you really want Hiei then you have to do this for me, ok?"
"I don't want to trick him"
"This is for his sake, the poor idiot would never be happy without a little intervention into his life. If things don't go well then you can tell him that it was me controlling you. Now let's practice a little first"
"Hello Sky Fire"
"Good, now I want to have a little chat with you. Remember to repeat the telepathy."
I
"I will"
"This rocks, anyway, I suppose that I should start with a story about Hiei. Names shall not be mentioned to protect the not-so-innocent. Years ago, before he even got his jagan eye, he managed to fall in love. His love was another fire demon that he had known for years and trusted him with his life and secrets. He despised just how weak it made him feel but he could not end his love.
Eventually, his teacher found out. The teacher had the normal views on love, which, as you know, means that he thought love would be the downfall of the world. He tried to break them apart but their love was far too strong and Hiei was far too stubborn. They told each other their dreams, ambitions, and every miniscule thought. Eventually Hiei told him something that scared him slightly. He told him that every time he found happiness it was somehow ripped from him. He told him of his mother who threw him out and was later killed for giving birth to him, his mother figure who was slaughtered in front of him, his best friend who was hung because he would not tell them where Hiei was, and his past lover who was murdered for loving the forbidden child. The demon told him that nothing like that would ever happen because he loved him more than life its self. Saddly, this demon was not exactly trustworthy.
Although he did love Hiei more than life its self, he loved someone more than Hiei. He began to cheat on him. He didn't want to but, well, he did. It was another demon that he had just met and instantly fallen in love with. He knew that telling Hiei would break his heart and so the fire demon kept putting it off so that he could find an easier way to let him down. As he was doing this, he fell more and more in love with the other demon and more and more in love with Hiei as well.
He had just made up his mind that he was going to end his relationship with Hiei when the other demon wanted to uh, take their relationship one step farther. He agreed and slept with him. What he did not know was that Hiei had seen them in bed together. The next morning when he walked out of the third demon's house he found his teddy bear on the ground surrounded by tiny black stones. He had told Hiei that his bear was the only thing that he had from his parents and he never could not sleep without his bear unless Hiei was there. He knew that he had left the bear at home. At that instant he knew what had happened. He ran to the house that he shared with Hiei. He hoped to comfort him, hold him, and tell him that what he had done was stupid. He flung the bedroom door open, expecting to see Hiei curled up in a ball on their bed. Instead he found nothing. He stayed there the whole week waiting for Hiei. When he went to sleep his eyes fell on a sword in the corner. Hiei had never even come back to the house." Sky Fire paused to let his story sink in. "He is afraid of being hurt again."
I Sky Fire made it a point to sound offended.
"I would never hurt him!" Kurama mirrored Sky Fire exactly.
"Not only does he fear that but he also fears hurting you the same way that he hurt everyone else that he loved. You know, his adoptive mother, his best friend, and his first lover. But I do have an idea. If you want Hiei more than anything and anyone in the world then you will agree."
I (AN: from now on I wont put the telepathy in because you know that it is the same as what Kurama is saying)
"would do anything for him, what do I have to do?"
"Start to act depressed. When he asks what is wrong, which he will do because he does love you with all of his heart, tell him that you could not survive without his love. His worst fear is someone hurting his love. If he thinks that what he is doing is hurting you then he will open up, got it?"
"Sky Fire, no! I will not lie to him" Kurama, repeating what he was being told telepathically, stood up and walked to the window. "I will not hurt him with lies like you did!" Sky Fire, according to plan, looked frightened. "I am depressed, I don't have to fake it. Your ideas are only making it worse, got it? Get out of here now! And if you hurt Hiei or approach him in any way I will make your death very painful, now go away and don't ever come back!"
Sky Fire stared up at Kurama, worriedly. Kurama gave him a strong push out of the window and slammed it shut. He was utterly confused as to why Sky Fire had told him to sound extremely angry. He would understand if Hiei had been there but Hiei was nowhere to be found.
IT HAS ENDED (this chapter anyway)
Sky: yay, I get to play matchmaker!
Hiei: oh Storm Elf! Can I have a word with you
Storm: Yes Hiei
Hiei: you said that you would keep your mouth shut about my past
Storm: did I, oops! Sorry ^_^
Jin: Sky Fire! You told me that you told Hiei about our relationship!
Sky: umm, Jin, can we talk about this some other time with less people around
Storm: well, that is enough of this babble here, now, I just want to remind everyone to review my story and read other stories of mine, ok? Thank you everyone. If you have advice, complaints, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism (glares at little brother) then feel free to put them in the reviews or email me. If you put something about stories, ff.net, or reviews then I will read your email and will most likely reply too. I also want to remind everyone that this is going to be one hell of a long story and I still have tons of ideas. Well, bye now and please review, it makes me feel happy 'cause I write to make people happy and I REALLY want to become a writer later on in life which is why I also ask for advice and stuff like that.
