"Did you ask Yusuke to mark you?" Hiei asked, pulling Touya away from the group.
Touya looked indignant. "Of course not; you don't ask it!"
Hiei asked then, "Did you mark him first then?"
Touya's eyes widened slowly. "No. He did it, without even realizing what he was doing at first. But he knew what it meant. Then I marked him."
Hiei looked perplexed, "But Yusuke's no youkai…"
Touya shrugged, "I don't know… neither did he… Maybe there's more to him than meets the eye."
Hiei nodded. He touched a hand lightly to the marking on Touya's neck, pushing back the cloth of the shirt to look at it more closely. At first Touya flinched, but when he realized what Hiei intended, he calmed easily. "Well, I still think you have bad taste, but you're lucky to have someone to care about you. And Yusuke's a good guy in the end, I suppose." Hiei concluded, removing his hand.
Touya grinned. "Yes. I am lucky. He makes up for all the wretchedness of my life before. I lost the tournament, but still won the light. Bless Inari."
Hiei smiled softly, almost jealously, a rare show of a rarer emotion. "The god's have nothing to do with it. Luck, destiny, deity… false hope lay in them. Deny them and trust only what you know. Yusuke's love you can be sure of; your destiny, your luck, your life, your chosen deity, of those you can never be sure. You're the wealthiest person I know, don't spend it rashly." Hiei commented. That said, he walked away and took up a notepad, ready to write. Touya stood and pondered Hiei's words.
"I'd never spend anything rashly. Let alone… Yusuke is a fortune I'll never lose. I'll kill myself before I lose his love." Touya whispered, going to join the others. "I'm glad this tour's almost over. I miss home."
