Excuses
Chapter 5
The bell rang and as usual, Kurama has to fight off a mob of girls, hormoned-crazed teenage girls........ and one boy.
Girl #1: Oh Suichi, would you like to go to the movies with me?
Girl #2: No Suichi, go to the movies with me.
Girl #3: Suichi, can you help me study for our test next week?
Boy: Marry me!
And the questions went on and on. Just as Kurama thought he would die, he saw Yusuke and an incredibly ugly and tall girl walking down the street.
Kurama: I'm sorry ladies .... and boy, but I have to meet my friends. There they are right now.
While the girls and boy looked to the direction that he pointed to, Kurama took that moment to escape the crowd.
Yusuke: Wow Kurama, I still can't believe all those hot girls are drooling over you.
Kurama: It seems I'm not the only one with more than one admirer. Are you cheating on Kayko?
Yusuke: SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!
Girl: I'M NOT A GIRL!
Kurama tries to stifle his laughter.
Kurama: Kuwabara?
Yusuke: *rolling on the ground with laughter* Hahaha I can't believe you were tricked so easily! Kurama, you're losing it.
Kurama: I'm sorry Kuwabara *laughs* I just assumed that you were an extremely manly woman.
Kuwabara: Urameshi made me do it. It's not like I like dressing like this!
Kurama: How did you get him to wear that Yusuke? *still laughing*
Yusuke: Remember the two piles of demons at the gates of Katzuo's mansion? We made a bet and Kuwabara lost. As usual.
Kuwabara: YOU WERE JUST LUCKY URAMESHI!
Yusuke: Lucky? I got 50 more demons than you did. How was that luck!!!!
Kurama: Well I've got to go. See you guys later.
Yusuke and Kuwabara didn't hear Kurama or even notice that he was gone since they were too busy arguing.
~ Kurama's room a few hours later~
Kurama is reading a book at his desk and he hears a tap at his window. He didn't even need to look to see who it was. Who else would use the window? He opens the window without even looking up from his book. Kurama sat down pretending that the book really interested him.
Hiei: Hn
Nothing. Inwardly, Kurama was laughing, but on the outside it seems he didn't even notice someone else in the room. Hiei walked to him and tried to see what was so interesting in the book the Kurama was holding. It was just a book about plants. Kurama doesn't need to read about plants. He knows everything about them. Hiei was just about to leave when Kurama put the book down.
Kurama: *chuckles* Hiei I was just kidding.
Hiei: Hn
Kurama: So... what brings you here?
Hiei: Can't a guy visit his best friend? * says it sarcastically*
Kurama: So you finally admit it!
Hiei: Admit what?
Kurama: That I'm your best friend.
Hiei's eyes widened then and then he glared at Kurama.
Hiei: I'm only here because Yukina made me the messenger demon again. I have no idea how the hell she roped me into it?
Kurama: Admit it Hiei. You love her just like she loves you.
Hiei: I already told you. It's impossible. I'm the forbidden child. I cannot love and no one can love me.
Kurama: I'm tired of your excuses Hiei. Why are you always running away and hiding? You act like you're strong and brave, but when it comes down to your feelings, you hide!
Hiei: What do you know about it! How do you know what I'm saying isn't true!
Kurama: BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!
Hiei: ...What?
Kurama: ....I-
Hiei: There's a party at Genkai's tomorrow.
Right after Hiei said that, he disappeared.
Kurama: // Damn. That wasn't the way I wanted to tell him. What happened to weeks of planning? I suffered through all those nightmares and now they'll probably come true.//
~ Hiei's ... tree? lol~
Hiei: // He loves me. I can't believe it. How can someone like him love someone like me? ... But what he said was true. Too true. I AM afraid. Afraid of my feelings. I hate to admit it, but it's true. Stupid emotions! I've got better things to do than deal with this shit.//
Hiei jumped down from his tree and started training. He let out his frustrations on all the trees in the vacinity. And some from the next vacinity too.
~ the next day at Genkai's temple~
Everybody was enjoying the party, with the exception of Hiei and Kurama. Yusuke was getting slapped by Kayko, Kuwabara was drooling over Yukina, Shizuru was beating up Kuwabara for his stupidity, the usual. Kurama was still frustrated by what happened yesterday, but pretended everything was normal. Occasionally, he would glance at Hiei only to see the him looking out of the window or somewhere else. Kurama felt like Hiei was watching him, but everytime he looked up, Hiei was either looking out the window or glaring at Kuwabara. He kept trying to catch Hiei in the act, but that sneaky little fire demon was too fast.
Kayko: Yusuke, do you see what I see?
Yusuke: You're wearing the new bra I got you
SLAP!
Kayko: Yusuke! You pervert! Not that!
Yusuke: @.@ Then what?
Kayko: Hiei and Kurama
Yusuke: Yeah. They practically drool when the other one's not looking. So what?
Kayko: I think we should do something. They're obviously in love with each other.
Yusuke: What do you think we should do?
Kayko whispered something into Yusuke's ear and Yusuke went to tell Kuwabara, Shizuru, and Yukina, while Kayko went to tell Botan and Koenma. After that Yusuke strolled over to Hiei.
Yusuke: Come on Hiei. Stop hanging around with the lamp and join the party.
Hiei: Go away
Yusuke: Stop being an anti-social litt-
Botan: Hey guys! It's time for spin the bottle!
Yusuke: Alright! *drags Hiei to the circle*
Hiei: Hn. I'm leaving.
Yusuke: Hey Kuwabara! Why don't you spin first!
Hiei sits down.
Yusuke: Hehe
Kuwabara: ALRIGHT! LET'S PLAY!
Shizuru: We have to set the rules first. Rule one: Kurama gets to go first.
Kuwabara: What! No way! I get to go first!
Kurama: Why am I being singled out?
Kayko: Rule two: the person who spins has to go into the guest room with the person the bottle lands on for at least ten minutes.
Hiei: That's ten minutes too long.
Botan: Rule three: no one can complain and if they do, everyone gets to beat up the complainer and you can't fight back.
Yukina: Isn't that a little extreme?
Yusuke: Rule four: you have to come out with a picture showing that you actually kissed.
Koenma: I have the camera!
Kuwabara: These rules are stupid!
Everyone starts beating up Kuwabara.
Kuwabara: Hey! The game didn't start yet.
Yusuke: So? We didn't say it had to.
Kuwabara: Stupid rules. Stupid Urameshi. Stupid girls.
Everyone beats up Kuwabara again.
Kuwabara: Crap. Oh wait. YUKINA MY LOVE. Would you mind healing these wounds that those crazy maniacs caused?
Yusuke: Alright. LET'S START THE GAME ALREADY!
Yusuke handed Kurama the bottle with a huge idiotic grin on his face.
Yusuke: Rules are rules.
Kurama: *sigh* Alright.
Kurama spinned the bottle and it spun for what seemed like hours, days even. Finally it stopped on ..... you guessed it! Hiei. Everyone tried not to laugh, but unfortunately Yusuke and Kuwabara don't have the self-control for that, everyone else just smiled.
Yusuke and Kuwabara: Whooo! Go Kurama. It's your birthday! You and Hiei gonna make out like it's your birthday.
SLAP!
Kayko: Yusuke!
Punch!
Shizuru: Stop being so immature BABY brother.
Kurama looked a little scared. Not because he was scared of Hiei, but because he was afraid of what Hiei might say. He tried to prepare himself for the rejection, but who could totally prepare themself for that? Kurama stood up and started walking to the room. Hiei stood up and walked towards the room too. As he walked by Yusuke, he whispered a threat.
Hiei: Don't think I didn't see that stupid string you used to make the stupid bottle point towards me. When this is over, I'll use your head as a mantelpiece.
Yusuke: *throws string away* What string?
Hiei: Hn.
Hiei walked into the room and Koenma ran over to the door and threw the camera inside.
Koenma: DON'T FORGET THE PICTURE! *slams door shut*
Everyone couldn't hold it in any longer. They all started laughing. The plan worked.
~inside room~
Kurama: *sigh* // This is going to be a looooooong ten minutes// ... Since we're here, I think I should give you an explanation about what happened yesterday. I-
Whatever Kurama was going to say was just mumbles now.
Kurama: // ... What? He's kissing me? Oh well whatever the reason is, I'm ok with it//
click!
Kurama: // Oh right.... The picture//
Hiei pulls away.
Hiei: You were right.
Kurama: ...I-I was?
Hiei: ..... I AM afraid.
Kurama: huh?
Hiei: I'm afraid of my emotions. Afraid of getting hurt that way. I'm as weak as the ones I criticize and claim to be superior to.
Kurama: Hiei, emotions don't make you weak. If anything, it makes you stronger. This is the first time I've heard you say that you were afraid, of ANYTHING. You've faced thousands of demons. Physically AND mentally. You've never even flinched, but now. Now that I've finally gotten you to admit a fear, it turns out to be one of the most wonderful things in the world. It saddens me to hear those words. Embrace your emotions. One of the reasons you've been lonely all this time is because you refuse to let those walls to heart down.
Hiei: Emotions are the one thing that I can't control. The one thing that I can't beat. The only way I can guard myself from getting hurt because of them is to keep these walls up, but YOU! You slowly took them down. One by one. You've weakened my defenses. You've slowly manipulated my thoughts! WHY!?
Kurama: Because I love you. I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand times more if I have to. I love you with all of my heart, all of my body, all of my soul. I'll do anything for you. I'd even die for you. But to see you suffer, see you hide yourself from the world, see you wallow in your own self pity. And I can't even do a damn thing about it to help you. It breaks my heart.
Hiei: That is why emotions are so dangerous. It causes you pain. And for what! A demon that can't even love!? Is it worth it!
Kurama: You are worth so much more than I can give, Hiei. And you CAN love. I know you can. Just let those endless barriers down. You say you want to be stronger. Emotions make you stronger.
Hiei: Hn. Emotions are strong, but they make you weak. In a battle, your opponent can easily manipulate those emotions. If I let my walls down, I'll die.
Kurama: I'll protect you.
Hiei: I don't need protection. I don't WANT protection. And I certainly don't need emotions clouding my judgement.
Kurama: You are so stubborn!
Hiei: Not as stubborn as you!
CRASH!
Kurama: .. What was that!
Hiei and Kurama try to run to the living room, but the door's stuck. Hiei burned it down. As the flames die down, they see Yukina holding a knife to Kuwabara's throat.
Kayko: Oh my god
Koenma: What?
Botan: Koenma-sama I don't think she was talking to you.
Kuwabara: YUKINA! MY LOVE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
Yukina: (In a demonic voice) I can't take this moronic babbling anymore. I shall make all of you die!
"Yukina" transforms into a huge, scaly demon with large fangs and yellow saliva dripping out of its mouth. It's eyes are completely purple with no pupil. It gives off a horrendus stench that could've made any normal human faint. It's claws were really sharp and they were definitely poisonous. The demon dropped the knife and held Kuwabara at least five feet in the air by holding the collar of his shirt.
Koenma: Katzuo.
Kuwabara: WHAT!?!?! BUT I THOUGHT HIEI AND KURAMA KILLED HIM!!!!
Koenma: Hiei and Kurama only killed his illusions.
Kurama: Then how do we know this one isn't another illusion.
Koenma: He's in his true demon form. The only way he can be in his true demon form is if it's really him.
Yusuke: AND YOU FORGOT TO TELL US THIS!
Koenma: Well we got the information after you guys left WITHOUT YOUR COMMUNICATORS! And I figured one of you killed the real deal already, so I never brought it up.
Yusuke: STUPID TODDLER!
Koenma: I'M NOT A TODDLER!
Shizuru: .. I don't think this is the time for that.
Koenma: You've got a point. I think you and Kayko should get out of here.
Kayko: but-
Koenma: You two can get hurt, possibly even die, and I don't think I want you two up in Rekai just yet.
Shizuru: Let's go Kayko
Shizuru pushes Kayko out the door and leaves.
Kuwabara: HEY! I'M STILL HANGING ON FOR MY LIFE HERE! ANYBODY GONNA HELP ME!!!
Yusuke: Alright alright. Quit your yapping.
Yusuke charged up his spirit gun while Hiei grabbed his katana and charged at Katzuo. Katzuo tried to scratch him with his claws, but missed since Hiei was so much faster, and Katzuo's large size slowed him down. A lot. Hiei managed to get a shot at his chest, but the scales were so thick that it was like armor.
Kuwabara: I'M STILL UP HERE!
Hiei got tired of his whining and cut his collar so that he got down, but he made sure to cut Kuwabara's throat a little bit, not enough to kill him, but enough to bleed.
Kuwabara: HEY!
Hiei: I could've done more than just given you that little tiny scratch.
Kuwabara: *gulp* (squeaky voice) Thank you.
Kurama: HIEI WATCH OUT!
Splat! Hiei felt blood on his shoulders. Kurama's blood. He turned around and found that Katzuo took the oppurtunity to try to get him while he was occupied with yelling at Kuwabara. Fortunately and unfortunately for Hiei, Kurama took the blow. Hiei could hear the sickening sound of Kurama's bones being broken and the blood squirting out from him.
Hiei: KURAMA!
Before he hit the ground, Hiei caught him.
Yusuke: GET DOWN!
Everyone ducked and Yusuke shot his spirit gun. It flew into Katzuo's mouth. The one place that didn't have unbreakable scales to protect it. Katzuo collasped on the ground and died.
Koenma: Botan, try to heal Kurama as much as you can. Focus on extracting the poison first. I'll go back to the Rekai to send some help. Yusuke and Kuwabara, come with me to help find Yukina.
Koenma disappeared and Yusuke and Kuwabara left. Botan went over to Kurama and tried to get the poison out. Hiei was on the brink of tears.
Hiei: Kurama! Don't leave me! You can't do this to me!
Clink! A tear gem hit the floor.
Kurama: H-Hiei. Don't cry. I want to see you happy...... before I go.
Hiei: How can I not cry! How can I be happy knowing that you'll leave me! Stay! Fight! You said that love makes you stronger! If you truly love me then use that strength now! DON'T LEAVE ME! I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!
Tears streamed down Kurama's face as more tear gems from Hiei hit the ground.
Kurama: *chuckles* So you finally said it. I can die happy now. Augh!
Botan: This is going to hurt a lot more before I can get all of the venom out of you. Please stay strong.
Hiei: You can't die! How do you expect me to live without you?
hmmmm .... should I let Kurama die and make this more dramatic? or let him live happily ever after?
Chapter 5
The bell rang and as usual, Kurama has to fight off a mob of girls, hormoned-crazed teenage girls........ and one boy.
Girl #1: Oh Suichi, would you like to go to the movies with me?
Girl #2: No Suichi, go to the movies with me.
Girl #3: Suichi, can you help me study for our test next week?
Boy: Marry me!
And the questions went on and on. Just as Kurama thought he would die, he saw Yusuke and an incredibly ugly and tall girl walking down the street.
Kurama: I'm sorry ladies .... and boy, but I have to meet my friends. There they are right now.
While the girls and boy looked to the direction that he pointed to, Kurama took that moment to escape the crowd.
Yusuke: Wow Kurama, I still can't believe all those hot girls are drooling over you.
Kurama: It seems I'm not the only one with more than one admirer. Are you cheating on Kayko?
Yusuke: SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!

Kurama tries to stifle his laughter.

Before he hit the ground, Hiei caught him.
Yusuke: GET DOWN!
Everyone ducked and Yusuke shot his spirit gun. It flew into Katzuo's mouth. The one place that didn't have unbreakable scales to protect it. Katzuo collasped on the ground and died.
Koenma: Botan, try to heal Kurama as much as you can. Focus on extracting the poison first. I'll go back to the Rekai to send some help. Yusuke and Kuwabara, come with me to help find Yukina.
Koenma disappeared and Yusuke and Kuwabara left. Botan went over to Kurama and tried to get the poison out. Hiei was on the brink of tears.
Hiei: Kurama! Don't leave me! You can't do this to me!
Clink! A tear gem hit the floor.
Kurama: H-Hiei. Don't cry. I want to see you happy...... before I go.
Hiei: How can I not cry! How can I be happy knowing that you'll leave me! Stay! Fight! You said that love makes you stronger! If you truly love me then use that strength now! DON'T LEAVE ME! I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!
Tears streamed down Kurama's face as more tear gems from Hiei hit the ground.
Kurama: *chuckles* So you finally said it. I can die happy now. Augh!
Botan: This is going to hurt a lot more before I can get all of the venom out of you. Please stay strong.
Hiei: You can't die! How do you expect me to live without you?
hmmmm .... should I let Kurama die and make this more dramatic? or let him live happily ever after?
