Fire Is Like Ice: Chapter Two- Conversations, Quarrels, and Thoughts
It was warm out. A beautiful day, full of laughter and the scent of flowers drifting through the air.
So why in the world was the red-head still in his stuffy room? Actually the youko was concerned over what one of the things that a certain hi-youkai had said the day before.
'I hate him. I hate him, Kurama. If I had any knowledge as of to where he is, I would hunt him down and rip his heart out then feed it to the kokuryuu. Actually,...........no. His rotten heart would make my dragon sick. That bastard. Can't even die properly. And some say I'm supposed to look like him. Now every time I look at myself, I think of the low-life that impregnated my mother purely out of lust. I HATE HIM! Father my ass! I couldn't care less if the koorime had killed him! Hell, I couldn't care if he killed himself! In fact, I hope he did do that! I hope that the guilt got to him so that he killed himself slowly and painfully!! Damn him! Damn him to hell!'
Kurama shuddered as he remembered the murderous voice that Hiei had spoken in when he had talked about his father.
He frowned. In fact when he spoke of his father, it didn't even sound like it was him talking. I mean, yes, it was Hiei phsically, but it wasn't Hiei's voice.
The youko-human turned to look out of the window thoughtfully. At first he was speaking normally, but when he started talking about his father...... his voice went deeper and got bitter. It was enough to chill me to the bone, it was so venomous.
Kurama sighed and looked down at the paper on his desk.
It was blank.
It was supposed to have a poem written on it, but he had lost interest, plus he was still worried about the bitter emotion Hiei had displayed.
Starting to get a headache, Kurama stood up and looked out the window. Sighing, he decided to take a walk through one of the parks Hiei might be at. He didn't really want to, but he knew he had to talk to the youkai about the night before.
Kurama made his way to Shiroi Yuki Park, knowing that if Hiei wasn't there, he could at least sit under a tree and just relax.
Once he reached the park, he started his search for the moody little youkai. After about two hours of searching, Kurama was about to leave for home but was stopped by an all to familiar voice.
"Kurama!"
The youko turned with a smile. "Hello Yusuke. What brings you here?"
Yusuke blinked. "I don't really know. I was just bored so I thought I'd come here and hide in the bushes and scare people."
Kurama chuckled. "Sounds fun."
Yusuke smiled back. "Yeah! You wanna join me? We could rustle the leaves whenever a girl walks by, then when she leans down to see what was moving down here, we can grope her!"
Kurama sweatdropped. "No, that's okayYusuke. I wouldn't want 'kaasan to find out."
"Oh well. Anyway what are you doin' here?"
Kurama frowned slightly. "Truth be told, I was looking for Hiei."
"How come?"
Kurama thought about telling Yusuke what Hiei had said before, but decided Yusuke didn't have to know. So Kurama just shrugged and avoided the complete truth.
"I just felt like talking to him."
"Talking to who?"
Both Yusuke and Kurama turned to see Kuwabara right behind them.
Yusuke smiled. "Hey Kuwabara!"
"Hey Urameshi. Hey Kurama."
"Hello Kuwabara-kun."
The orange haired human looked from one to the other. "Who were you guys talkin' about?"
Yusuke winked at Kurama. "Hiei."
"Why were ya talkin' 'bout the shrimp?"
"Kurama was lookin' for him. "
Kuwabara turned to Kurama. "Why were you looking for him Kurama?"
Kurama inwardly rolled his eyes. Boy are you nosy! "I just wanted to talk to him."
"What did the shorty do now? Did he insult your mom? Or did he just show up with his 'I am better than you' attitude? Did he kill someone? DID HE HURT YUKINA-CHAN?! I'll beat him to a pulp if-"
Kurama sweatdropped again, headache starting to return because of the human's loud screechy voice. "Kuwabara-kun! Please calm yourself. Hiei hasn't done anything wrong. I just felt like talking to him."
Yusuke watched interestedly as the other two talked about the only member of the team that wasn't there.
"Kurama," Kuwabara started a bit gruffly. "Why do you put up with him? He only turns a blind eye anyway."
"He only does that to you dumb-ass."
"Shut up Urameshi! Anyway, Kurama does Shrimp even have emotions? I mean, look at how he acts whenever you ask him to go out and have a good time with us. He only goes 'cause you make him."
"Kuwabara-kun, it's just who he is."
"So he's just a mean little asshole."
"That's not what I meant, Kuwabara-kun!"
"EEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!! PERVERT!!"
Kurama and Kuwabara turned to see Yusuke standing in a bush, smiling broadly as a girl with blonde hair ran away from him, arms crossed over her chest.
"Kuwabara, let's go to the arcade!"
Kuwabara smiled, completely forgetting his argument with Kurama and replied. "Yeah! I bet I can kick your butt in DDR, Urameshi!!"
"In your dreams Bigfoot!"
And with that, the two ran to the arcade, totally forgetting about Kurama.
Kurama sighed, feeling slightly depressed about what Kuwabara had said.
It's not true. Hiei's not a mean asshole.......he's just...........Hiei. Well............okay so no one else is like him,.....and he doesn't like being around others, ... and won't ever admit he's wrong.......But,.....that's just how he is! It's not like it's his fault that he couldn't afford to have emotions when he was younger! What was I going to speak to him about again?
Kurama's brow furrowed in thought. Right his father.
