Alright, here it comes.

I'm sorry for not updating for so long because I personally think the story SUCKS and should be abolished from the face of fandom. However, you people seem to like it enough and it pisses me off when people stop in the middle of the story so I will continue to feed you this poorly written scripture in hopes of not displeasing you.

Swords and Roses The Accursed Chapter 13 To Have My Heart Torn Out

Soft moonlight reflected off of his blade as it sliced through tree branches. He had been working himself to the point of exhaustion and was nearing it after all of these hours. He could still not forget what had happened though he was no longer as mad at Kurama.

"It really wasn't his fault" Hiei told himself outload. "Sky Fire doesn't know how to use his telepathic powers as well as I do and cant control all of them. He bent Kurama to his will without knowing it. I learned to control it years ago so that I could strengthen it but he never tried." In most cases he would be making up lies to make it seem like it was all Sky Fire's fault but who needs lies when the truth achieve the same effect. "Kurama didn't stand a chance, even if he did love me. Why did I have to flip out on him?"

Hiei left the forest and headed towards Kurama's house. He had to fix what he had done. He had to tell Kurama that he was sorry. Hopefully he would find open arms but he feared that he would not. "He has every right to leave me."

As he ran through the woods he remembered what his master had told him when he was learning the telepathic technique that Sky Fire had accidentally used. "One it is used against you once it lacks power for some time. That time is normally measured in days with normal people, hours with weak ones, and weeks with the quick witted. I'll be happy to inform you that because I am a telepath it has no effect on me so don't even bothering trying, it will give you a headache and you will never do it again." His master had told him the truth too, he never did try it a second time. He had also been right about how it had little effect on people if they had been under its control recently.

"Kurama wont be under it when I find him. I can tell him how to defend himself against it and. . ." Hiei stopped when he looked in Kurama's window. He saw Sky Fire snuggled against Kurama. He took in a few quick breaths and tried to rationalize the situation. There was no way that Kurama had a weak mind yet here he was, cuddling with a shirtless, and most likely pants less, Sky Fire. If he had uncovered them he would have found that they were just wearing what they normally wore to bed but he was not about to pull up the covers.

"Is this why you wanted to wait?" he asked his sleeping lover. "Because you didn't want me, you wanted someone else. Is that why? I understand. It isn't the first time and it will most likely be the last. Wait, abstain, indulge in kisses and nothing more, how could I have thought that those came from you, my fox. You sleep with others but you don't want me. Maybe you just wanted me to feel better so that is why you claim to love me. Thank you for trying, you did make me happier for longer than anyone else."

Hiei kissed Kurama lightly and brushed Sky Fire's hair out of his face. Sky Fire moaned slightly and moved just a little. "Sky Fire, I should hate you, but at least everyone else is happy I learned a long time ago that my feelings don't matter. Good bye, I hope that you two are happy."

Hiei turned around and crawled slowly out of Kurama's room. Leaving Kurama was one of the hardest things that he had ever had to do. He was surprised when he got through it only shedding one tear. He put the gem in his pocket and left without looking back. He would suffer as he had before.

He went back to the park and sat down on a bench near his favorite tree. All of the events played over in his head, torturing his mind. He suddenly became aware of another presence and looked up. Yusuke was standing over him. He looked back down but Yusuke did not leave.

"What happened?"

Although Hiei was usually silent, he had to tell someone something. "In all of my life only three people have managed to gain my absolute trust. Two of them just betrayed me."

Yusuke continued to pry, hinting that he already knew of Hiei's relationship to Kurama. No matter how hard he pressed, Yusuke could not get a full confession out of him. The only thing that he would tell him was that Kurama and Sky Fire had done something twice that pissed him off majorly. Yusuke handed him a pen and paper and told him to write Kurama a note. Even though he did not want to, he did so to get Yusuke to leave him alone.

Kurama woke up to find that Sky Fire had cuddled up next to him. He pushed him away and got out of bed. After a quick glace to be sure that Sky Fire had not been woken up by his movement, he got dressed. He wanted to get to the park early and talk to Hiei. Maybe the fire demon had cooled down enough to forgive him. It was unlikely but worth a try.

When he got there he did not find Hiei, but he found a note instead.

Kurama,

I am sorry for yelling at you. Just so you know, I am leaving. I see that you would be happier with Sky Fire and I don't blame you. I couldn't manage to say goodbye in person, it would be too hard. Don't feel sorry for me, did you hear me! I said stop it! I don't want your pity or your sympathy. I told you that I was meant to be alone. I wish you and Sky Fire the best of luck.

Goodbye,

Hiei

PS: Thank you for all that you have done. When I was with you I was the happiest that I have been since I was born. Even though it is gone just like everything else that I ever enjoyed, I will still have memories.

Kurama read the note over five times before everything sunk in. He could hardly believe it. Hiei was gone for good. He didn't even seem sad about it, as though he knew that it would end right from the start.

"Hiei" Jin whispered as he shook Hiei's shoulder slightly. Hiei had spent the night there after writing the letter to Kurama. Jin had been sympathetic but only as much as Hiei would prefer. He had listened to him and had pried every bit of information out of him. For some reason he felt as though he could confide in Jin. Jin had just nodded. He hadn't offered any advice which pleased Hiei. He did not like people meddling in is life.

Jin fed him breakfast and tired to make him as comfortable as possible. Touya was not very happy to see him. Hiei sided with Sky Fire in most arguments and therefore was as much of an enemy as Sky Fire was. He did act civil to him but not much more than he had to. Jin had also asked him to be nice so that was a very good reason to behave.

Hiei left as soon as he was fed. He told Jin where he could be found if he was needed for a mission and headed off to that place. He had asked Jin not to tell anyone else where it was because he really did not want to be visited by Kurama right now.

Well, what do you say? Just to let you know, there is a mission next chapter.

Hope you enjoyed it, don't bother saying that it is well written because I know that I can and have done better than this. On the same note, don't bother to give me advice because chances are I have already received it from other sources and have made those changes in more recent works.

Oh, and anyone who would not be pissed tell me because if no one wants to read it then I wont bother posing any more because it is no longer an accurate description of my writing abilities nor is it a genius and original work. In other wards, tell me if you want more, tell me if you don't

This is Storm saying see ya and read my other work because it is better (those who enjoy FAKE should read Learning to Love and Finding Out) ok, those are the only two in which I display any new talent.
