Enjoy!

"Your choices are..." the voice started.

All of a sudden, a loud crash echoed through my dream, and every thing started to get brighter. I had wondered what was happening, but then I realized that I was waking up!

"No! Wait! I want to know who my suitors are!" I called out to the voices.

"They are: Ku-"that was all I heard, before I was totally conscious "Ugh, where am I?" I asked myself, rubbing my head. I felt like I had a hangover.

"You were having a nightmare." Kurama said informatedly, in a kind voice. He got up of the floor next to me. "I tried to wake you, but you were in such fright that you would just shake you're head and yell. Quite loud I might add."

I laughed sheepishly, but then I remembered that strange dream. Was it real, or just a figment of the unconscious mind? It was hard to tell...I mean, how did they know about Naraku and Inu yasha? Also who was this guy that's name started with 'Ku'?

Speaking of which..."Hey Kurama, do you know where Inu yasha is?" I asked looking around for Inu yasha. "I have to tell him something."

Kurama looked at the floor. "He's not...here."

"Oh? Where is he then?" I asked, not liking that look that Kurama was giving the floor.

"He went home..." I could tell Kurama was trying to beat around the bush.

"Okay, did he say anything before he left?" I asked, really not liking where this was going.

"..." Kurama said nothing; he just kept starring at the floor.

"Kurama..."I said in a warning voice.

Kurama mumbled something I couldn't here.

"Kurama!" I said, losing my patience. "Spit it out already!"

"He said 'I went home and that she is no longer obligated to come back. Tell her that she shouldn't.' "

I took a step back. "This...this is a joke, right?" I asked stunned.

I took a look at Kurama's sympathetic look.

"No..." I whispered out. Then I thought of that dream, and Inu yasha's words.

'Goodbye Kagome. I don't think that we can ever be friend's, but I don't hate you...I could never hate you.'

Tears started to pour down my face. Even though I didn't love him like that anymore, I still thought of him as a brother. It was like losing my family all over again...

"It was true..."I sobbed. "Why God? Why does it have to be true?!" I yelled up at the sky.

Slowly, I saw Kurama creep up next to me and out a hand on my shoulder. "Kagome, what is true?" He asked softly.

"The dr-"I stopped myself from saying anything. I had a weird feeling that I shouldn't tell anyone that I about my weird nightmare.

"What?" He asked softly. "I had a dream about, uh, um...that I couldn't see my friends in feudal era, and I was right." I laughed bitterly, as a fresh batch of tears made their way down my already swollen checks. "Who ironic, ne?"

All of a sudden, Kurama pulled me close in a tight embrace. "Don't worry." He said in a fiercely passionate voice. "Because I will always be here for you always."

For some reason I felt safe within Kurama's arms, so I hugged him back. (A/n: Don't worry! This is a Kagome Hiei fic.)

**Hiei's POV**
(A/n: uh oh...he he)

Just as I reached Kagome's House, I saw something that I wish I never saw. Kurama was holding Kagome, and...Kagome was hugging him back!

Something in the back of my head told me to steal the girl, and kill Kurama.

No, I thought sadly. I can't do that. Kurama is my friend, and Kagome...Kagome has made her choice. I mean, why would Kagome ever like me? I am the forbidden child.

With that I sped off into the morning sun, with one thought running through my head. 'She has made her choice. I can not control all of her decisions.'

**Kurama's POV**

I was so happy with Kagome in my arms. Maybe I can get her to like me.

'Finally.' Youko said 'I thought you would never win her over.'

'Oh, shut up!' I yelled at Youko. 'Leave me alone!'

'Hey this is my body too!'

'Well im the one in control right now!' I retorted.

'So?'

'Ugh! You're so annoying!' With that I blocked out the voice of Youko, and returned to my hug with Kagome.

"Uh, Kurama?" I heard Kagome say as soon as I was in the real world.

"Yes?" I asked softly, as I tightened my embrace around her.

"We've been hugging for quite a while now and um..." She blushed, and slightly pushed me away.

I knew what she was trying to say, so I slowly stepped away, cursing at Youko. "Of, course. You're right. Please excuse my behavior" I said apologetically.

"No, no! It's ok, it's just that well..." She blushed again.

I sighed, giving her a small smile. "I understand."

**Kagome's POV**

I was touched that Kurama wanted to comfort me, but not that long. I hardly knew all that much about him. So, very nicely, I tried to tell him to back off a little. I knew he knew what I was trying to say, and I instantly felt guilty when I was a flash of pain go through his eyes.

"So..." I started trying to break the uncomfortable silence that had settled between us. "How's Hiei?" I asked.

Before Kurama answered, I swear I heard him growl. "I don't know. The last time I heard of Hiei was when he was sitting in some tree. He had told me, not to tell anyone where he was, but I have a feeling that he's not there anymore, so it's ok to say." Kurama explained.

"Hmmm..."

The uncomfortable silence was in the air again. "Well, I guess I'll go look for him." I said slowly. I was desperate to get out of this house, and away from the stuffiness.

Kurama looked shocked. "Why would you want to do something like that?"

"Well, I heard that he's been missing for quite awhile. He could be in trouble or needs a friend. I want to find him." I said matter-of-factly. For some reason, the more I thought about it, the more appealing the subject sounded to me.

"Well, I'll go with you." Kurama stated.

"No, no! I'll be fine. Besides, I want to have some time to myself to think about...Inu yasha." I said quietly.

"I understand. Though if any thing happens," he tossed me a communicator of some sort. "Call for help on this" he smiled completely understanding that I needed time alone.

"Thanks!" I said happily! "Bye!" With that I ran out the door. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I was looking every where for Hiei, when I remembered something. I was telepathic, and could see auras! All I had to do is look for his Aura and thoughts!

I closed my eyes, and searched for anything that was Hiei's. After awhile of searching, I found his Aura a couple feet away actually, in the same park Kurama was talking about. Quickly, I followed him in.

The closer I got to this open field, the closer Hiei's Aura went.

"Hiei?" I called out, once I was standing in the middle of the field. No one was there.

Suddenly, I heard a rustle in the trees surrounding the clearing and Hiei popped out.

"What do you want, women?" He asked me coldly.

"N-nothing," I stuttered, surprised at his tome. "I just wanted to find you, and see if you're alright."

Then, the clear blue sky suddenly turned gray. You could smell a storm coming.

"Well, you found me, and as you can see, I perfectly well. Now go home." He stated, quite roughly, and turned to go back into the trees.

"Wait!" I called out of instinct.

He stopped moving, but didn't turn around.

"..." I didn't say anything. I didn't know what to say.

"Well? Why have you told me to stop, wench?" Hiei said just as cold as before.

"Why are you avoiding me?" I asked in a whisper. For some strange reason this made feel like my heart was slowly being torn in two. I saw it happening, but could do nothing to stop it.

"Why... Why do you care?!" Hiei yelled at me, still not facing me.

The rain started to pour down.

"Because you're my frie-"Hiei interrupted me.

"Go back to you're boyfriend! You think you can fool me? I know you're in love with Kurama!"

"No! You're wrong!" I shouted before I knew what I was saying.

None of us spoke. All that was heard was the rain falling, and the small waves of thunder rolling across the sky.

"Am I?" Hiei asked after a while.

"Yes..." I spoke very quietly. "Because...Because I love you!" I shouted fiercely.

"..." Hiei said nothing for a while. "Lies" He said softly. "It is all a lie!"

"No, Hiei it isn't." I said, with a strained smile. "I love you! I do very much."

"No! You don't! I saw you with Kurama! You love him! Don't lie to me! Besides," He stopped and turned around to see me. "You nothing about me!"

I was shocked. Hiei was right though. I knew nothing about him. But, I loved him, and I had to know if he loved me.

"Hiei." I said quietly, my bangs covering my eyes. "If you tell me you don't love me back, then I will leave you alone. I won't talk to you unless you ask me to. So tell me...do you love me?" I could feel tears welling up in my eyes, afraid he'd say no.

"..." Hiei said nothing for a few minutes. Then, he said the words that would decide our fate to be together or not.

"I..." He tore his eyes off the ground, and looked straight into mine, they where soft looking.

For a moment, my hopes rised, thinking he would say, 'Yes. Yes! I love you!' Though my Hope withered up, when Hiei's eyes turned hard and cold. Colder than ice.

"I don't love you." He said clearly. I didn't even see him flinch. He just looked straight into my eyes, cold and uncaring.

"I love you though." I whispered hoping he would change his mind.

Hiei sighed, and looked to the ground. His sigh was ragged.

"Look," He brought his eyes back up to mine. They were still cold, steel, and mean. "I said I didn't love you! How many times am I going to have to repeat it?! I don't love you!" With that, he ran off into the trees.

The rain poured harder. I knew that if I stayed out here I would catch a cold, but I didn't care anymore. Nothing was worth caring about if Hiei didn't love me. I dropped to my knees, and for the second time that day, I cried a mournful cry. Hiei, where are you? I thought to myself. Why did you do this to me? Even though you don't love me, I don't think...I don't think I'll ever stop loving you!

As I cried, the rain poured harder and harder.

Well that was a sad chapter! Don't worry though, I promised you guys a Hiei kagome fic, and you will have one. Please review. Give me 10 and I'll write another chapter.
