I am truly not making any money off of this, I really don't think that none
of us are, I'm just a poor college student that is bored and somewhat
imaginative. So, read, and Enjoy!
Notes: Sometimes it will be point of view, sometimes it won't, depends on where the story takes me, I will write and update often, since I know what it is like to be in the middle of a really good story and to just be left hanging.
(Words with a day will be journal entries made by the character, and I think in this story each character will have his own, maybe. Words with ** means they will be personal thoughts. Also, I may throw in song lyrics so beware of those.)

Chapter 7: Take A Deep Breath
POV: Kurama
He took a deep breath. *It's now or never.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Um, Hiei. There's something I have to say." Kurama looked down at his hands, and he took a deep breath. *Ok, just say it, just say it. 'Hiei I love you.' See, that wasn't so hard right? Now all I have to do is tell him that. What if he gets scared and runs off. Better him knowing than me keeping it bottled up inside, but then if he runs, we won't be friends anymore. The relationship would just get really complicated. Oh hell. Here goes nothing.*
"Well, what is it?" Hiei asked, looking curiously at Kurama. He'd been silent for over five minutes and was worrying Hiei. He just tightened his grip at his sides, afraid of what was to come.
"Hiei, what I wanted to say was, well you see, I've-" He stopped as he heard a rustle in the bushes from behind. Annoyed, he infused his ki into the bush and had it move to the side. There, behind the bush, crouched, was Yusuke and Botan, they had been ease dropping.
"Ahem." Yusuke scratched the back of his head sheepishly. He had to admit that he was curious as to what his two demon comrades had been discussing. He had been keeping a close eye on the two since they had left Kurama's house. He sensed that there was something between the two of them, but he couldn't quite place a finger on it. He knew they were best friends, hell, Kurama was Hiei's ONLY friend; at least the only one he spoke to in confidence. Sure he was friends with him and Kuwabara, but they were never as close as Hiei and Kurama were. So, since Kuwabara went off in search of his Yukina, he thought he'd do a little detective work. And having Botan tag along wasn't such a bad idea either; *I mean, having a girl be your assistant isn't all bad, at least she could tell me stuff I wouldn't dream of thinking about right?*
"Uh, hi..." Said Botan meekly, she'd been trying to cover up the tomato red blush on her face, with the sleeve of her kimono. Apparently, it wasn't working. She knew what they were talking about, any girl would know it. And she had been waiting for this moment with a breath she hadn't been aware that was stuck in her chest. She now felt ashamed for intruding on such a private moment, and the way that Kurama's eyes bore into hers, and the scowl that spread across Hiei's face wasn't helping either. *Ohhhhh, why are they looking at my like that? Don't they realize Yusuke's here too? Why do I have to be on the receiving end of their looks? Please divert your attention to the black haired idiot next to me...Please?* She thought, hoping they would hear her silent request. They did, and shifted their gazes to land squarely on Yusuke; who now cowered behind Botan. "We'll be going now!" She said and pulled her oar out of her dimensional pocket, and took off with Yusuke in tow.
*Well, if they don't have the worst timing. What the hell were they doing anyway?! Shit, you think that one could have even a remote amount of privacy! Inari-sama, they're lucky I didn't wrap them in vines and hang them from a tree. Now, on to more important matters, like Hiei.* He shifted his gaze from where Botan and Yusuke had disappeared, and was now staring intently at the silent jaganshi. Who was scowling out into the landscape, his face softened a moderate amount in a matter of seconds. *Huh? I've never seen such a drastic change in mood from him before. But then again, I wasn't always staring at him long enough to notice. What are you thinking youkai...*
As if hearing the mental question, Hiei turned and now held Kurama in place with his ruby gaze. He tilted his head to one side, then the other, but still holding the emerald gaze with his own. Hiei blinked, and broke the silent trance they were both in. He let out a sigh. And spoke, "What were you about to say? Before we were so unceremoniously interrupted."
"Oh, yeah, um that." Kurama spoke, color draining from his already pale face. "Well, what I was going to say was..." His breath caught in his throat. But he pressed on. "Iloveyou." He said in one long breath. He looked away then, staring at the grass as if it had just become the most interesting thing around. He was waiting to hear or feel a displacement of air... But none came. *He hasn't left? Is this a good or bad sign? Maybe he's too shocked to move. Aw crap.*
Hiei was shock still. *He loves me? Since when?* He let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. *Whew, that's a load off my mind. Why is he looking away?* "Hn, you do?"
"Yes, I do. I have for a long time, I just never had the courage to tell you before. I don't know what made this the right time, but I just know that I needed to tell you." Kurama spoke softly, never removing his gaze from the ground.
"Oh." Was all Hiei said. *(sigh) Ok, I'm about to do something I never in a hundred years thought I'd ever do, but here goes nothing.* He moved faster than the eye could see, to reappear in front of Kurama. He knelt in the wet grass and placed his hand under Kurama's chin. With infinite tenderness no one thought he was ever capable of, he moved Kurama to face him, and softly placed a feather light kiss on Kurama's lips. The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but felt like a lifetime to the two demons. *Soft...* Was Hiei's only thought at that moment.
