That took too long, I know. But I have an excuse! I DO! And if I need to
I'll tell you about it. But since I don't think you care I'll just get onto
the chapter!
I don't own Hiei, but I do own his... interesting new attitude.
--
(Kurama's POV)
The awkward embarrassment that filled the room was so strong I could smell it.
Hiei was fragile, and if I were to try and explain things to my mother, as to somehow get my life back to normal, then Hiei might be hurt....
I had to do whatever was needed to keep Hiei near me and in stable mental health.
(Shiori's POV)
I watched as my son wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, holding him in the protective, loving embrace of a lover.
It was evident how much that boy meant to my son....
Shuichi laid a soft kiss on the boy's forehead, then whispered something in his ear. Soon after, my son released the boy, got up, and walked over to and passed me, motioning for me to follow him outside his room.
I closed the door behind us.
"Mother, I'm not exactly sure how to explain this, but—"
"Don't worry, honey," I said, offering him an understanding expression. "If you love him... I'll understand. There's no need to explain."
My son stared at me, expressionless.
"You can love anyone you want, regardless of what I think."
"M-... mother..." he sighed, in disbelief.
"I want you to explore relationships, after all... no matter what kind they are, as long as it helps you to find the one you love most."
"I don't think there will be any others," Shuichi confessed, aiming his embarrassed expression at the ground as he gestured nervously.
"You really like the boy then, do you?" I asked, a feeble smile sweeping across my lips.
He nodded, suppressing a smile, his face inflamed.
"Is he always so shy...?" I asked, trying to change the subject.
"Well," my son started, instantly coming back to life. "Actually, he's not at all himself. You see, he came with me to go shopping and—oh... M-mom, I sort of... err..."
"I saw."
"Well, please believe that it wasn't my fault!" he pleaded, giving me an innocent, affectionate look.
"I do... but do continue."
"Yes... well, Hiei came with me, as I said, and as you saw, we were hit by another car. I'm afraid Hiei was hit very badly on the head... trying to... save me... he's just... not acting as he should be."
Somehow I felt a little relived. Perhaps it was the love in the air, the fact that we were insured, or that my son was perfectly unharmed... but... I was probably just happy to see that shy, clingy, needy, and childish wasn't my son's type.
I couldn't wait to meet the normal Hiei.
"Well, I'll leave you to that, then. I need to go... re-purchase something I dropped outside... See you later!"
(Kurama's POV)
I watched as my mother hurried off.
I couldn't help but smile as I was reminded of why exactly I loved that woman so much.
But these thoughts could wait! I had a crazy, amnesic Hiei to tend to!
I scurried back into my room, only to see that Hiei had left my bed, and was nowhere in sight...
After looking around for a moment, I found that he had been right under my nose the whole time. Quite literally...
He had somehow made his way over to me, and latched himself onto my waist.
"Where were you for so long!?" he cried out, nuzzling his head into my chest.
I patted his head, nervously.
"I was just explaining things to my—"
"Do you... care about her more than you do me?" he asked, sounding incredibly hurt.
The pain is his voice made my heart ache, no matter how silly it really was.
"No Hiei, of course not... You're my love," I told him, softly, wrapping my arms around him.
"And you'll take care of me...?"
"Of course," I assured him, trying not to concentrate too heavily on the high I was getting from just holding Hiei as I was, for fear of fainting again. "And because I want you to remember your... memories... I've decided to take you around and show you the things and the places you once knew, so that maybe a familiar sight will spark a memory."
An odd thought popped into mind then: Too bad Hiei hasn't seen me naked...
I shook my head and held Hiei even more tightly.
(Hiei's POV)
After hugging, my beautiful redhead had soon leaded me outside of his home, and began to show me things...
"And... this is the stoop..." he said, pointing below us.
I tried to look and pay attention to everything Kurama was showing me, but in the end, he was just too attractive, and I was distracted.
"Kurama, I don't care about my memories. I just want to spend time with you," I confessed, reaching out to grab his hand.
He instantly jerked away from me.
"What's wrong...?" I asked, fearing the worst: that he suddenly decided not to love me anymore.
"Well... it's just that... we're outside and the neighbors are out and around..."
"You... you're ashamed of me!" I declared, feeling the need to cry, although no matter how badly I needed to, I simply couldn't.
"What!? No Hiei, of course not!" he protested.
"Then why won't you let me touch you...?"
Without hesitation, my lover picked me up, lifting me just high enough to plant an apologetic kiss on my lips.
I then noted something odd....
"Kurama, are you all right?" I asked, looking him in the eye.
He was beginning to sweat a lot.
"I'm... perfectly fine!" he stated, unconvincingly.
I raised my eyebrow in suspicion.
"Okay..." I said, deciding not to pry.
(Kurama's POV)
I couldn't take this much longer! He was just... so damn cute.
I needed to get his memories back before I did something foolish and regrettable....
"Hiei, how would you like to come see the psychiatrist with me?" I offered, smiling weakly at him.
Nonetheless he nodded, seemingly happy... with the sweetest, cutest, most desirable expression I'd ever seen....
"B-but you know it would be rude to go see a doctor and be all dirty! Why don't the two of us get cleaned up before we go, huh?"
"All right, Kura. If you'd like, I can bathe you!"
"...Umm... that's not necessary, Hiei."
"You... you hate me!!"
"NO! No I don't!"
"Yes you do! How can you expect me to just sit around and watch as my love bothers himself with tasks I can do for him!?"
"...Sit around and watch...?"
Maybe I should have taken Hiei to the doctor before. His subconscious was really... odd.
--
Well, I decided that Kurama would be smart, unlike everyone was in Don't Ask Me. I mean, no one even THOUGHT to take Kurama to the doctor or seek help of any such kind... they were all highly overeating. Of course, that story's a little crazier than this one. Anyhew! Please review!
I don't own Hiei, but I do own his... interesting new attitude.
