There's something about Saturday afternoons that make you want to scream.

(Kurama's POV)
Hiei laughed quietly. Truly, I was amazed at how he so quickly got over his problems. I loved this side of him, the Hiei that could be kind, smile so genuinely... and could be held in my arms without the slightest protest.
I encircled my arms around Hiei, attempting to hug as much of him as I possibly could.
I wanted to savor this and all moments when I could hold him this way....
"I love you," I said in an affectionate and sincere tone, as I closed my eyes and surrendered to the moment.
I soon felt Hiei's hands grip me tightly, and in his usual deep voice, whispered a brief, soft, "Stupid fox."
(Yusuke's POV)
"Yusuke, why couldn't we take your car, again?"
"I told you... it's being FIXED!"
"But... how did it break?"
"THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSSINESS, KEIKO!!"
"WHOA! Calm down, Urameshi!"
"RARR!!!!!"
"Kazuma, watch out!"
"OUCH! HEY! SIS, HE BIT ME!"
"Stop being such a baby, brother..."
The five of us had all started out on our walk to Kurama's house, and it was taking all I had just to keep from blurting out that I had played a part in Hiei's amnesia. I wasn't very good at keeping secrets....
"So, guys... what exactly are we going to do when we get there?" I asked, looking around at everyone casually.
"Well, we should probably try to cheer Kurama up," Kuwabara suggested, nodding his head confidently.
"Yes, we must be there and support Kurama-san," Yukina added, nodding along with Kuwa.
"We must assure Kurama that everything will work out just fine," Shizuru continued, joining in with the nodding.
"Poor Kurama..." Keiko whispered, nodding as well.
I stared at them all blankly.
"Why are we going to help Kurama!? Hiei's the one with the problem!" I cried, giving them all a look.
"Yusuke, Kurama needs more help than Hiei!" Keiko snapped.
"...Why?" I asked, becoming confused.
"Because to Hiei, everything's normal... he doesn't feel as though his memories are gone, or that he's lost any part of himself. But Kurama's lost Hiei, his best friend. He must be feeling awful..."
(Kurama's POV)
I quickly let go of Hiei and stepped back, having to push him a letting to get him to release me.
"Hiei...!!" I yelled, looking him straight in the eye. "Tell me what's going on!" I demanded.
Why would Hiei lie to me about having amnesia...? Didn't he trust me enough to take responsibility when showing me his true emotions...?
"...Why... what are you talking about, Kurama?" he asked, with a fake, mockingly innocent tone.
He smirked at me devilishly, narrowing his eyes as a sarcastic laugh escaped him.
"...Hiei..." I started, directing my glance to the ground. "Please tell me. Do you have amnesia!? ...Or are you lying to me."
Hiei grunted in reply as he approached me, and reached out to grab my chin.
"You're kind of cute when you're upset," he commented, forcing me to look at him.
...Huh?
"What does that have to do with any—"
"You barely know me, but you insist that you're in love... Normally I would never allow this... but I don't want to complicate things by getting you angry with me."
And at that point, Hiei pulled me down for a kiss.
"I don't want to complicate things by getting you angry with me."
"Compli--?" I tried to ask over Hiei's kiss, but my struggle only caused me to trip.
"Stop protesting! This is what you want!"
I wasn't going to argue with that, but I was going to demand an explanation!
"Hiei, tell me what's going on here or else I'll--!"
"Or else you'll what?" he questioned sarcastically, grabbing my arm and pulling me up slowly from the floor.
He was acting differently from before... different from that sweet, innocent child... And yet, he still wasn't... normal.
"Kurama, you're not going to stop feeling this way about me... so what do I have to worry about? You're too sentimental to betray someone you love..."
I got a glimpse of Hiei's eyes then... they weren't the soft and caring ones he had just moments ago, or the cold, honorable ones he had this morning... These were overconfident, scarred with pain...
But somehow... they were still him.
"Then you trust me...?" I asked, gazing at him affectionately.
I felt as though I had been drawn into his eyes... it was almost as though... I was a different person. Yet somehow still myself.
"HMPH!" Hiei grunted, instantly dropping me to fold his arms, blush and direct his eyes elsewhere in an embarrassed manner. "Don't go misinterpreting my words!"
"Well, if you're so sure I won't betray you. That means you trust me."
"No it doesn't!"
"Yes, Hiei, I'm afraid it does..." I slurred, standing up and placing my arms around Hiei's shoulders.
WHAT THE HELL!?
What was I doing...!? I had to figure out what was going on!
"WAIT! Hiei, what's going on... why are you doing this!?"
"Well... it's not like I want us to get arrested for this due to your not cooperating."

O.O... I'm mean. This was the shortest chapter yet, AND I left it off at a bad spot. X.X I promise to work on making the chapters longer (And the random reviewer asks: What happened to not leaving it off at bad spots!? WHY NOT WORK ON THAT TOO!?)... Anyway, this story will be winding down from this point on, but not in the next chapter or anything.... Please review! It will make me so happy. TT.TT
