A/N *sing-song voice*I'm bbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Hello everyone and
thank you yet again for reviewing! You all have yet again inspired me to
write another chapter! Well actually to tell the honest truth I have no
clue where I'm going with this story so get ready for a bumpy ride! Please
read and enjoy (and if you enjoy, or don't, review!) Here's the chapter!
Disclaimer: I own a tissue box and a string.hmm maybe I can make a swing out of it!
**This chapter is dedicated to two people actually! One is Emmafini (kuramalover321) and the other is Anna (fire fairy of the prairie). They both have supported me in writing a shounen ai story!
*hiei's pov*
Staring at the half demon I noticed firmliar changes starting. His crimson hair starting fading to a metallic silvery color. Ears popped out of the top of his head, and he sprouted a tail. His eyes shot open to reveal their new golden color. A sardonic smile danced its way onto his face, his features growing sly.
I frowned as the transformation completed. The full fledged Youko sat in front of me now, his gaze landing upon my face.
"Aren't you going to welcome me back Hiei? Or are you so excited to see me that you're speechless?"
Glaring up at him, I sneered. "No fool, I'm angered that you're back. You think I like to see you? Hn, you really are self-centered. You're probably everything Kurama isn't." I smirked back up at the fox but he just grinned back.
"You mean strong, healthy, good-looking, intelligent." He went on to name more false attributes but I ignored him. I had to think of a way to help Kurama heal. Maybe I could make a deal with the Kitsune? He could come out once a month if he let Kurama live? I would hate it but.if it meant the difference between Kurama's life and his death, I'd do it.
"Ok Fox I'll make a deal with you. You can come out every so often, if you let Kurama live. How about it?"
He stared at me with those steely golden eyes for about five minutes then cracked up. He rolled on the bed with laughter, literally howling. In a sad way he reminded me of Kurama. Then thinking about Kurama made me feel even worse. Sighing angrily, I grabbed a fistful of the baka kitsunes hair and yanked him to his feet. Instantly his laughter stopped as he realized I was controlling him with my hand.
"Ok Youko you might have thought that was funny but I did not. Leave this body now and return Kurama back. If you do not do as I ask, I'll rip this hair out of your head." Giving him the most evil glare I could muster, I think I actually struck a chord in his insensitive heart. He backed down and slowly I started seeing him re-transform into a human. Letting go of the large clump of hair I held, Kurama's body fell to the floor. Kneeling next to him, I saw that his usually round happy face looked more slender and very sad.
"Oh Kurama stop frowning! That's my job remember?" I forced my self to laugh, trying to make him smile again.
His evergreen eyes fluttered open, a thin smile on his lips. "Sorry Hiei, frowning is your job. Heh not saying you look bad with a smile!" Leaning up he placed a kiss on my forehead and tried to make his way back to the bed. He didn't get very far when he had to kneel down again from pain.
"Kurama, you're not strong enough to walk on your own yet! Baka half ningen!" I walked to his side, lifting his thin arm over my shoulder and hoisted him up on the bed. "You should listen to your human mother and take it easy! I don't want you to di-.get hurt. I don't want you getting hurt!" Quickly, I adverted my eyes from meeting his. I knew that if I looked into those mellow eyes I would have to tell him the truth about his health. That was something I could never do.
*Yusuke Urameshi's POV*
"God Kuwabara I seriously think Kurama and Hiei are keeping something from us! I mean they've been a lot nicer to each other, not like Kurama was ever mean, and they seem a lot closer! Do you think they could.be like.boyfriends?"
The carrot top next to me shuddered with the idea. "I know Kurama's really nice and yeah he's kinda girly but he's NOT gay! That guys a chick magnet! How could he like guys when he could choose any girl in the whole universe? Anyways Hiei's too weird to like anyone, especially someone like Kurama. They may be friends but I don't think they could get any closer!"
Nodding my head in agreement, I sighed. "Yeah Kuwa you're probably right. I just can't help but wonder ya know?" He nodded solemnly and we kept on walking to Genkai's temple. We were supposed to meet Hiei, Kurama, Botan, Genkai, and Yukina there for a meeting.
The steps leading up to the temple loomed ahead of us, gleaming in the afternoon sunlight. Kuwabara, anxious to see his 'so totally awesome and sweet' girlfriend Yukina, ran ahead and up the stairs. Taking four steps at a time I followed the crazy in love maniac. Stopping at the top to take a breath I looked at the temple. A few feet ahead of me stood Kayko, (gahh hate English spelling but whatever! It's really Keiko!) my best friend and yeah I admit it the girl I planned to marry.
"Hi Yusuke! Are you ok? I told you that you shouldn't run up the stairs so fast! By the time you get to the top, you're always out of breath!" The brunette scolded in a motherly tone, smiling all the while.
"Heh yeah you're right. Oh did I mention nice skirt?" I snickered, panting at the same time.
"Ohh Yusuke you are SO immature!" With that she grabbed my left ear lobe and dragged me all the way inside Genkai's temple.
*Kurama's pov*
"Mother, Hiei and I are headed out for awhile! We're going to go meet up with our friends ok?" I yelled from the doorway. I heard a faint "OK dear," and left.
"So Hiei, nice to be outside again huh?" Smiling cheerfully down at the shorter one he just looked straight ahead as we walked. Frowing, I turned my head forward to and walked next to him in silence. Hiei hadn't been acting himself lately.well besides the fact that he'll actually let me touch him without attempting to kill me.
"Hey Hiei? You'd tell me if something was wrong.wouldn't you?"
The koorime looked up at me, a deep frown etched into his face. His eyes flashed and he looked back ahead of us.
"It depends on the situation Kurama. If it was something that might kill you, no. Otherwise I might tell you. Why?"
"Ohhh nothing you just seem rather down in the dumps today. Yet if you say you're ok, I'll believe you!" Smiling I reached down for his hand, shivering a bit when I felt its icy coldness. Without showing any change of emotion I felt Hiei gently squeeze my fingers, almost like he was reassuring me that he was ok.
Smiling we walked like that in silence for awhile. The trees were beautiful right now, the tips of their leaves turning an autumn gold. I was so absorbed in my surroundings that I hadn't heard Hiei saying my name.
"Hey Fox are you going to keep staring at the tree's or are you going to answer me?!" The smaller one tugged on my arm, trying childishly to get my attention. Laughing, I looked upon him, a grin breaking across my face when I saw his impatient expression.
"I'm sorry Hiei, I wasn't listening. What was your question?"
Sighing in a frustrated sort of manner he rolled his eyes. "I wanted to know if you needed help up these stairs! Seeing as how weak you've been, I figured you might like a hand!"
Looking around I noticed that we had arrived at the stairs to Genkai's temple. I had been weak lately but Hiei didn't really think I couldn't handle walking.did he? "No thanks Hiei, I'm fine!" Giving him a quick grin, we started up the long staircase. I stumbled a few times but made sure to keep my balance.
As soon as we reached the temple itself, I could hear the familiar voice of Kuwabara, calling out to his sapphire haired friend
"Yukina, my darling! The brave Kazuma has come back to you! Oh Yukiiiiiiiiiiiiiina!" Laughing at the carrot tops proclamations of love, I continued towards the temple. As I continued walking, I noticed Hiei's hand had left mine, yet he was still at my side. Giving him a questioning look, he just nodded up at Kuwabara. Obviously he wanted our relationship to be kept in secret. Nodding, I pushed my hands into my pockets, still wishing it was Hiei's hand I was holding.
"Hello Kuwabara. Still chasing after Yukina I see?" Smirking at him, he just looked back, a gigantic smile suck on his face.
"I can't help it! She's the love of my life! Yukina, Yukina, you're not mean-a!" He sang, horribly off tune.
"This is going to be a long meeting. Please don't make me sit next to the deformed blob." The youkai next to me stated the sound of hatred in his chilling voice.
Laughing, we all entered the temple together.
