Rant: Ok, I'm FINALLY updating this fic, after some much needed studying. Well, anyway, those of you loyal fans of my fic, will be happy to know that I have a definite plot point now, and will be updating regularly [if I can]. So for now, sit back, put your feet up, and enjoy.
I am truly not making any money off of this, I really don't think that any 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 in italics means they will be personal thoughts. Also, I may throw in song lyrics so beware of those.)

Chapter 15: Questions.
"Hiei..." Kurama walked into the dimly lit room quietly. "Are you alright?" He called out softly, hoping not for the world, to irritate the fire demon any further.
"Fine." The irritated voice said from the vicinity of the window sill. Hiei sat there, staring out the window, one leg dangling off the edge and the other clutched to his chest. "I'm not hurt if that's what you're wondering."
"I know, you're tougher than you look." Hiei shot a look towards Kurama, and he stopped and smiled. "It was meant to be a compliment. I just wanted make sure you were fine, and in one piece."
"Hn. Why do you worry about me? You should worry about yourself. You heard what that asshole said, they're after you, Karasu is after you... Not me. Worry about protecting yourself first, and not me." Hiei said with a snort. Then continued to stare out of the window.
Kurama sighed, and looked at him with solemn emerald eyes. Then with a smile replied. "I am protecting myself. But in that way, I am also trying to protect you. Because you have become an important part of my life, and if I were to loose that, I would loose myself. I didn't ask for it to be this way," He walked towards Hiei in slow and deliberate steps, then stopped just within arms reach. "but that doesn't mean that I didn't want it to be this way." He sighed and looked at the fire demon. "You're important to me... I hope you know that."
Hiei took a small breath, and held it. Why does he care so much? Do I actually mean this much to someone? I'm not even sure I know how I feel.... But, why? "Why do you care so much about me?" His earlier thoughts now in the open. "Why would you risk your life for me? You know as well as I do that it's stupid to think that way. You'd just be throwing your life away." He let the breath out slowly. And turned to face his friend. "Why. Do. You. Care?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because, you're my friend? My best friend? Maybe because you and I have things hidden, and I can relate to you? Maybe it's because..." Maybe it's because I love you. He finished mentally. He looked at Hiei for a long moment before continuing. "Maybe it's because there are things that I can't see myself living without. Like you." He put his arms around the little fire demon, and put his chin on Hiei's shoulder. He breathed in the scent of pine and ash, and mentally sighed. This is nice, I could see myself getting used to this. He thought to himself with a smile. And was a little disappointed when Hiei pushed away from him.
"Don't get too comfortable. And when did you become bold enough to think you could touch me." He spitted out between gritted teeth. What am I saying? Why... Am I? He saw the confused look on Kurama's face. He sighed. "Look, Kurama." He started, looking away. "I'm sorry. You know I didn't mean that. I just don't want you to get too comfortable with our, 'situation'." He said, cheeks turning a slightly red color. "I don't want you to hurt yourself, or get hurt because of me." He was standing on the window sill. And he looked at Kurama one last time, before he flickered out of place.
Kurama just stared at the empty space where Hiei had been standing. He sighed and sat down on his futon. He looked at the window, and saw that the sun was starting to set. What could you be thinking? How could you be thinking that way... I don't understand. Maybe some things will become clearer tomorrow. He laid back and put his hands under his head. He looked up at the ceiling as he went through the itinerary for tomorrow. Kuwabara and Hiei are supposed to be sparring partners tomorrow, and Yusuke is supposed to be training with Genkai, I guess I'll just train on focusing my ki. Maybe check up on Kuwabara and Hiei, make sure they don't 'accidentally' loose a limb or puncture something vital. He smiled and let out a solitary laugh. He turned over and fell into an uneasy sleep.

Hiei landed softly on a branch about 30 yards from Genkai's temple. He sighed and sat down, leaning his back against the tree, putting his hands on the back of his head. He mused over the events of the day, and broke them down. What happened? I should have seen it coming. Gods fucking dammit. He cursed. He looked down and looked into the window of his and Kurama's room. I'm an idiot. Was his last thought before he closed his eyes, and fell into an uneasy sleep.

Nishi sped through the night. I have to know.... I just have to. He thought as he stopped in front of a mountain of stairs. He looked up the, literally, mile of stairs, and saw the red building at the end. I will not be denied. He thought, as he set to calmly climb the stair.
To be continued....................
Short, I know, confusing, I know. But at least it's an update. I'll update more often I promise! I'm not dead, just a little busy, trying to sort out some of the next chapters. Please review!!!
