~A Red Rose in the Darkness~
Chapter One
*
*
*
*
*
A lone, black-clad figure sat on one of the topmost branches. The tree that he was sitting
in was smack-dab in a lively park full of happy families playing with their children or having
picnics with friends or kissing on a park bench. Below the lemon tree was a particular group
that we hopefully all know of. The delinquent, Yusuke, was being chased around the park by his
girlfriend Keiko, for he had pulled her skirt up in front of everyone in the park, and was now
trying to escape her deadly wrath, failing miserably. He lay faceforward on the ground, a large
bump forming in the middle of his head.
Keiko crossed her arms, an angry look on her face. "You really don't know when to quit, do you, Yusuke?!"
Muffled, he said. "Not really Keiko!!"
She stepped on his back, showing him that he was defeated. "Obviously not!"
Sitting on his legs on the sheet spread out across the partly wet grass under the lemon tree, a
certain redheaded fox-boy giggled. Yukina and the little old lady Genkai were setting up the lunch
that they had prepared particularly for this day. This was their day off, and they all wanted to
spend their time doing something calm and relaxing on this rare occasion. Even Koenma himself would
be joining them shortly.
A loud voice boomed obnoxiously, and the orange-haired elvis impersonator came running
to the group. "YUKINA-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!"
Yukina looked up from what she was doing. "Oh, it's Kazuma!"
Kuwabara ran up to her, grasping her tiny hands. "Oh Yukina! You make my blood boil with-!"
"Great," a small voice said from high up in the trees. "You just came and I'm already annoyed
by you."
Kuwabara fumed. "Come and say that to my face, shrimp!"
Kurama ignored Kuwabara. "Hiei, will you be joining us down here on the ground?"
"Not likely," was the plain and simple answer.
Kurama smiled. "I know you'll come down when we have the sweets. And before that, too.
We've got cherries."
In an instant Hiei was no longer in the tree, but seated next to his companion, impatiently
waiting for the Lord and the ferrygirl to make their way over from the Spirit World.
"Yeah, that's better! Now you can face me like a man-not that you are one!!" Kuwabara
shouted.
"I don't have time for the likes of you. You're being childish, and a fool. You'd be dead in the
next second if I did choose to fight you," Hiei answered, arms crossed, eyes closed to try and
get the headache that the oaf's annoying voice just gave him out of his head. "But you're
hardly worth that second."
"WHY I OUGHTA-!!!!!!!" Kuwabara stopped abruptly as something dropped on his head. It wasn't
heavy enough to make him fall over, so he lifted it off his head.
Koenma flashed a peace sign. "Hey!"
"Look, the toddler showed up after all!" Yusuke shouted from his position, currently sitting
cross-legged with tissues sticking out of his nose, about twelve large bumps on his head, and
many other things, as well as a handprint on his face. Keiko had done him in, all right.
"Don't call me a toddler!!!"
"Or what? You'll throw you're binky at me?"
"Urameshi...!"
"Yusuke, today's a day to relax, so quit buggin' Lord Koenma, 'kay?" Botan said, appearing
next to Genkai.
"Aw, but Botan, It's fun!"
"Fun? FUN? I'll tell you what's fun! Getting my trusty metal baseball bat and bashing it
over your head and then--!"
"Can you all shut up and eat?" Hiei said, very annoyed. He had already eaten most of the cherries.
"Please," Kurama added. "It would be pleasant if we could just eat right now, fight tomorrow,
when we can let our rage out?"
"Tch...fine," Yusuke said and sat down next to Keiko and Kuwabara, who was seated next to Yukina,
who sat next to Genkai. o.0
And so, they all ate in the peaceful, beautiful park. Kurama loved it there, with all the
nature around him. The sun shone beautifully, making everything seem to reach out towards
its light, embracing its warmth. Yet, it made everything in it's shadow seem mysterious, mystifying.
Not malevolent, just... mischevious. Animals of all sorts ran around the park's forests-deer, rabbits,
birds, squirrels, chipmunks- almost anything that could live in peace in this horrifically wonderful place.
The red-head stood up, excusing himself from the group. He walked to the edge of the forest to
grasp it's secrets. A calm breeze met his warm face as he smiled and closed his eyes, enjoying
every moment of this. He felt a presence next to him, and, without turning or opening his emerald
gems, he spoke.
"You coming, Hiei?" He said to the smaller demon.
"...Yes."
"You don't have to if you don't want to."
There was no answer from the fire child, and Kurama's smile grew. He opened his eyes and looked
at Hiei, who stood next to him, staring up at him with those bloodstained orbs of his. Hiei was
wearing his normal outfit, the long dark cloak and the surprisingly white scarf and bandana. And,
under the cloak was the tanktop, and the many belts, along with the black pants. On Hiei's right
arm, there was the bandage, concealing the horrible, terrifying Kokuryuuha.
"What are you staring at?" Hiei said, disrupting Kurama's gaze.
"What? Oh, nothing."
Together, the two walked deep into the forest, not speaking, not looking at each other, just
enjoying the other's company. Birds sang harmonous, peaceful tunes, ones of long lost love, and
the happiness that dawned upon two that were made for each other. Hiei, hands in pockets, fell
into step with the taller fox, thinking his own thoughts and being quiet, not that that was anything new.
Kurama still had the faint traces of a smile on his face, his eyes practically shouting out to the
world "I AM HAPPY!".
"Kurama?" Hiei asked quietly, not wanting to disturb the peace.
"Yes?" the fox said distinctly, as if in his own little world.
"Is...it alright if I spend the night?"
Kurama snapped from his thoughts and looked at his demon companion in surprise.
"Only because there's supposed to be a storm tonight."
"Sure!" Kurama said in glee. Usually, Hiei only stopped in at night for a couple hours, through the
open window. Even though he did that every night, it made Kurama sad to see him go.
"Um..." Hiei wasn't sure how to say this. His face got all scrooged up, that made him
look like a child. "Thanks."
"Of course," Kurama said happily. This day couldn't get any better!
