Russian Roulette 2: The Third Player
Chapter 9: Alone
Kurama's Point Of View
Hiei hadn't been talking to me much. I would always see him in the hallways, blaring his loud music. I would see him at lunch, picking at his food. I would see him walking home, looking at his feet. It was weird. I never did anything. I didn't say Hello, I didn't wave. I didn't even show a sign of pity towards him. I was worried about him though. Only because I had once loved him. I didn't love him anymore. I didn't love anybody anymore.
" Kurama! Wait up!" Chisa said, grabbing my arm. I pulled her off of me.
" Get Off!" I yelled, continuing on my walk home.
" Aww, come on, let's walk home together."
" NO! I don't want to go with you."
" Kurama..." She whined.
" I said, leave me alone." I said in a calmer tone.
" Hmph. Jerk." She huffed, walking the other direction.
" What's wrong with me?" I asked myself. I got an image of Hiei in my head, him smiling at me. I smiled to myself. I hadn't seen him smile in a long time.
" Maybe I do still love him?" I asked myself. I looked over on the other side of the street. Hiei's apartment building. I remembered back to the time when we were kissing in the hallway. But then that reminded me of when I was teasing him in Japanese. He was so cute when he was angry. He also had amazingly soft lips. I blushed. I thought, maybe I'd go visit him.
" Who is it?" He asked.
" Uh, Um, It's me." I said. I didn't want to invite myself over.
" Oh, hold on." He said, opening the door. " Hey. What're you doing here? Wow, Chisa isn't glued to your arm. Did she finally take a few rounds to the head?"
" I wish." I smiled. " I mean, ummm, no." Hiei seemed to catch my mistake but perked an eyebrow instead of questioning me.
" Come in then." He offered. I walked in and sat on the couch. I saw a black fuzzball running around on the carpet. It was a cat.
" You got a cat?" I giggled.
" Shut up. I like cats. He was on sale and the owner was gonna toss him out anyway. So I bought him."
" Why'd you get a cat?"
" I don't know. I'm lonely. I have been. Of course, I still have mother and the occasional drip from the sink. I bet that's Yukina's doing." He laughed, petting the black cat roughly.
" What's his name?" I asked.
" Ummm...it's a secret." He said, his eyebrows kitting together. He got that pouty look on his face. It was cute.
" Aww, come on, tell me."
" Only people who haven't dumped me can know. Like he knows. Mother knows. Yukina doesn't. She's a bitch." He grinned. A sudden crash came from near me. The window had suddenly slammed closed by itself.
" What was that?" I asked, a bit frightened.
" Hm, she's just mad at me again."
" Umm, Hiei?" I asked.
" What is it?"
" What if I told you, I didn't like Chisa, but I was forced to like her."
" Then I'd say "Is that the reason you dumped me?" and then depending on your answer I'd either make out with you or sit on the floor messing with my cat." He said.
" Hm, you haven't changed."
" It's been a month. People don't change fast. Especially feelings." He said.
" Feelings?"
" You really are dense. You always were." He smiled. I blushed. " I still love you. I always will. And you'll probably never know why."
" Aww, is it because you won't tell me?"
" Yes, something like that. You love Chisa, am I right?"
" Umm, sure." I said quietly.
" So all my advice is to you, no matter how much I dispise her, I want you to love her as much as you did me. If you loved me at all, of course. I just don't want anybody to end up as hurt as I have for the past month."
" Right." I nodded.
" Oh stop looking so gloomy!" He said. " Cheer up. There is no reason for you to be sad! I should be. I have my suicidal sister haunting my apartment." He laughed. " Now come on, you're coming with me to buy kitty come food." He took my hand and we walked to the pet store. He was happily rambling on about his mother again. Telling me funny stories about him when he was a child.
But something inside of me sparked. I knew then I'd never get used to the sound of Hiei's laughter.
" Hey! I'm home!" I said happily running into the house. I looked over at the dining table where my step-dad was sitting. He looked angry again. Something must've happened at work.
" Shuichi Minamino!" He roared. I froze.
" Chisa just called. She just told me you've been dating that little midget, Hiei!" He thundered.
" What!? We broke up a month ago! Chisa's lying."
" I wouldn't put it past you! I told you I am making you marry Chisa because you refuse to be normal!"
" What's normal anyway!? Normal for me is being with Hiei! I broke up with him anyway! It doesn't matter now!"
" Yeah, you told me that before, how do I know it's not a lie now?" He growled.
" He's not lying. He told me himself. He would never lie to me." My mother stepped in.
" Whatever." He said, calming down a bit. My mother motioned me to go up to my room. I sighed and did as I was told. Chisa, that bitch.
A/N: OOH! Kurama's mad!!!
