Alright, lets get moving here. I love this plot and I shall not allow it to
perish.
Swords and Roses, Chapter 10 To Kiss You
Moonlight poured in Kurama's window as he sat on his bed. The light made a square of visibility in the otherwise dark room. He was about to get under the covers when the space of light was replaced by shadow. He ran over to his window and opened it. Hiei was crouched by it, trying to gain entrance.
"Kurama" he simply stated as he finished crawling into Kurama's room.
"Yes, is there something that you want"
"I heard your conversation with Sky Fire" Hiei would not look up at Kurama
"It is true, I would never hurt you or allow you to be hurt by anyone else." 'so Sky Fire was right, Hiei was listening in, how did he know that?'
"I do not need anyone to watch over me" Hiei growled making Kurama regret his words.
"I'm sorry, I knew that, now did you have something else to say to me?"
"Yes, I did." Kurama wanted to spur him on but knew that doing so would only cause Hiei to leave.
"Mind if I ask you question first?" Kurama asked timidly. Upon receiving the nod of approval, he began again. "How, and don't answer this if you don't want to, but how were you and Sky Fire ever a couple? You are total opposites and you hardly even get along anymore"
"He wasn't as bouncy and I hadn't learned my lesson about falling in love yet. Not to mention physical attraction and that he was the only one near my age."
"He must be one hell of a good kisser" Kurama remarked offhand. "Want to have a seat while you talk?"
They walked over to Kurama's bed. Hiei sat with his legs hanging over the side. Kurama was about a foot away sitting cross-legged (aka: Indian style) and looking at Hiei.
"Now, what was it that you wanted to say?"
"Kurama, I was born alone and I am meant to die alone." Hiei looked into Kurama's eyes for the first time that night. "I accept that, but I want to spend all of the time in between with you" it almost sickened Hiei to say something that 'sappy' as he put it but he knew that it probably sounded better to Kurama than it did to his own ears, or at least he hoped so.
At first Kurama did not know what to do. He could see Hiei squirm slightly in fear of rejection. "Hiei" Kurama leaned towards him and hugged him close. "I could spend every wakening moment with you but it would never be enough time for me. You must promise the time after you die and all of eternity"
"Then that is what you shall have"
They sat there for what seemed like forever and a moment at the same time. Eventually it was Kurama who spoke.
"Hiei, I know that this may sound stupid, but I don't want anyone to know of this"
"I understand"
"You can tell Sky Fire, he seems to already know, but only if he promises to keep his mouth shut"
"If I tell Sky then Jin will know, but no one else"
"Why Jin?"
"Haven't you seen it between them?" Hiei cringed slightly remembering when he had found out about their relationship.
"Oh, no, I didn't"
Hiei began to stand up but Kurama pulled him down. He did not want this moment to end.
"I have to go now" Hiei attempted to stand once more.
"If you must leave then I understand, but first. . ." Kurama pulled Hiei closer to him. The two of them enjoyed their first kiss together. (AN: have not been kissed enough to really explain it ( )
When Kurama release his hold on Hiei he found that the small demon had not released his own hold.
"Didn't you say that you had to leave?"
"It can wait"
Kurama's heart bounced into his throat. Hiei was going to stay with him. He promptly grabbed Hiei's hand and started to walk out the door. "then come with me, we have to find some way to celebrate this, and no, not that"
"for a moment I thought that your fox side had taken control"
Hiei and Kurama were very careful with their relationship. They hid every trace of romantic interest in each other. The only two that knew where Sky Fire and Jin, whose own relationship grew steadily.
(three months have passed. Nothing interesting happened. Everyone grew closer, Kuwabar and Yusuke are as clueless as ever and that is saying something!)
AN: right now would be a good place to end the chapter and start a new one. But, because you are all so nice, I decided to just continue!
Kurama and Hiei were in one of their favorite spots, a large oak tree in the middle of the park. The branches grew in such a way to hide them from view to most everyone but still offered them light. This was their meeting place for anything romantic simply because they did not want to attract attention from anyone else. The two couples, Hiei and Kurama as well as Sky Fire and Jin, became very close. It was not rare for them to invite the fire demon and Youko over to watch movies, not that anyone ended up watching the movie.
One day when Hiei and Kurama were in their tree, Hiei suddenly became aware of a hand gripping his arm. He broke away from Kurama to see who the offender was, it was Sky Fire.
"I'll return him in a moment" he promised Kurama. "I just need to talk to him!"
Hiei and Sky Fire walked a good distance away before Sky Fire turned around. Kurama was still within sight but was out of earshot.
"Touya is back" Sky Fire dropped the friendly tone in his voice. He now sounded depressed. "He came back earlier today"
"Just because he is here doesn't mean that Jin will go with him. Now go away and leave me alone!"
"I know, but what if he does? I cant stand to see Jin with anyone else." Sky Fire's pleading voice was more than Hiei could stand.
"Relax, if he does then I will pound him into the ground for hurting you, Touya too."
"Really?"
"Yes, I have wanted to pound Jin for a very long time. Almost as long as I have wanted to kill you!"
"Oh" Sky Fire fell oddly silent. He looked at the ground and scuffed his foot lightly. He knew why Hiei wanted to hurt Jin. Until now he had not thought that Hiei would harbor any ill wills directed towards Jin. Now he realized just how naive he had been. Hiei probably hated Jin as Sky Fire hated Touya. Needless to say, Sky Fire is a little slow on the pick up sometimes."I'm sorry for bothering you with this."
Before Hiei got a chance to get his attention again, Sky Fire was off.
'I'm so stupid!' Sky Fire mentally screamed once he was alone. 'I came to Hiei about Jin when Hiei has every right too hate him! Jin took me away from Hiei just like Touya is doing to my Jin. I hope that he isn't mad at me'
The snapping of a twig stopped Sky Fire's thoughts instantly. He whorled around to see a familiar demon looking back at him.
"Hello Sky Fire" Touya's voice cold enough to freeze the rainforest.
"Sorry, I don't talk to bacteria or pond scum"
"I think that you will want to talk to me" Touya's smirk began to make Sky Fire feel uneasy. He did not want to show it but he wanted out of there as fast as he could, right back in Jin's arms.
"Don't you have someone else to sleep with?" Sky Fire stood up to look Touya in the eye.
"Funny, it seems that you are the one with a past of cheating on people"
"And you are the one who is a whore, what is your point? I learned my lesson, it isn't my fault that you haven't learned yours."
"Sky Fire, I came here to be civil, not bring up complications. I have a proposition to make"
"What is it?" Sky Fire backed up slightly knowing that Touya was not going to offer up a deal that he liked or that he could refuse.
"Simple, you keep away from Jin or else"
"Or else what?" Sky Fire interrupted
"Or else I will ruin your life forever. I know that you are responsible for many deaths at the prisons. I know that you killed a demon for hitting on Jin. I have proof that you poisoned me multiple times."
"All of which you deserved greatly"
"Watch your words there, You know that Jin doesn't like violence."
"No! I cant just leave Jin! I love him!"
"Sky Fire, you are too young, too inexperienced, too stupid, too impulsive, and too sex driven to hold a relationship. I think that Jin would prefer me over you."
"leave!" Sky Fire roared at the top of his lungs.
When Touya did not walk away Sky Fire stormed away and then teleported (another nice psychic power of his) to his apartment. He walked into the living room to see Jin experimenting with the TV. He noted how cute the larger demon looked when he was confused. At the sudden realization that this memory would soon be just that his eyes began to tear. Small rivers were flowing down his face when Jin noticed.
"Sky Fire! What is wrong?" Jin pulled Sky Fire onto the couch and put his arm around his shoulder. Sky Fire continued to sob as Jin embraced him, all the time telling him it everything would be alright.
"Jin" Sky Fire said during a small break in the tears. "I. . .Touya said. . .Jin!"
"Sky sweetie, you aren't making any sense. Calm down and tell me what is wrong. What did Touya say? He didn't threaten you did he?" the protectiveness of Jin's voice calmed him slightly but the tears did not ebb.
Sky Fire did nothing more than hug Jin closer. The closer he got the more he realized that this would be the last time that he could ever hold Jin like that. That fact only caused him to sob harder. He could not tell Jin what had happened or else Touya would reveal some terrible truth, or terrible half truth, about him.
It took him a full hour to cry himself to sleep. He was so exhausted that he did not even notice when Jin carried him into his room and laid him on their bed.
Touya wandered slowly back to Jin's apartment. He knew that Sky Fire had run home and cried in Jin's arms. Although a little jealous, he could care less. Soon Jin, his beloved Jin, would be his again. Jin would be happier and so would he. Everything would be perfect as soon as Sky fire was out of the picture.
Well, I know that this chapter makes Touya sound evil but the next chapter will show off more of his good side, if I find one that is. I cant seem to make Touya a good guy, he always starts to do bad things. Well that is all for this chapter.
