A/N well I am back! Last time I checked this story had 80 reviews and I
love every single one of them! Even the flames! Thank you all
soooooooooooooooooo much for reviewing me! I hope my story can keep you
all on the edge of your seats until the very end. Also I apologize for the
shortness of the chapter. I've been diagnosed with the most awful
disease.writers block! I think I wanna go die under a rock now.
*Hiei's POV*
So the secret was out. Kurama was going to die and he knew it. I guess him knowing made everything about this situation seem much more real. Looking up at my Kitsune, I saw silver tears sliding down his pale cheeks. Suddenly he looked like a little three year old that was lost in the huge crowd at the mall. I ran over to him and held him in my arms. He leaned his head against my chest and wept bitter tears. That's when I remembered that the imbeciles were still here. Glaring up at them I spoke, barely above a whisper. "You two better get the hell out of here before I unleash my dragon on you. You have both already caused enough pain and trouble. Leave now!" I yelled in fury at the humans. Both ran out as fast as they could.
Kurama was curled up in my lap, hiding his face in my chest. I could tell he was ashamed that he was dying. His long, slender fingers gripped desperately at my cloak as he tried to conceal himself within its folds.
Seeing him lay there like that made me hold him even tighter. Black tears gems slid off my face at a quick rate and landed n Kurama's ruby hair. "I'm so sorry Kurama. I'm sorry."I whispered, putting my knuckle under his chin and making him look up at me. His emerald eyes had lost their abnormal happiness and now shimmered with tears. I kissed his tears away only to find more kept coming. I couldn't help him. He was slipping into a deep depression I could see it. I just couldn't pull him back into his normal happiness. "Oh god Kurama.I'm so sorry." For the first time in my life I was scared. No actually I was terrified. My first and only love was slipping away and there was nothing I could do about it.
*Yusuke's POV*
"Great going Kuwabara! You just HAD to say how much you'd miss him! God you're such a friggin' idiot!" I swore all the curses I knew out loud and made up some new ones. God that Kuwabara could be one hell of a dumbass sometimes.
"Hey I'm not the only one who screwed up! You're the one who actually announced that he was gunna die! God Urameshi how come you always lay the blame on me?!" His beady little black eyes stared coldly down on me and I realized I actually had hurt his feelings.
"Hey man I'm sorry. I'm just kinda stressed out ok? I know we both screwed it up.big time. Do you think Hiei'll forgive us? I mean he looked pretty pissed." I was worried about our team mates. Kurama was Hiei's closest friend.if he died what would happen to Hiei?
"I dunno, he's a pretty big grudge holder. Hey um Yusuke do you remember what you said early? About Kurama and Hiei being in love with each other? Well I think you were right. You saw the way Hiei rushed to go help Kurama when he started crying. They really do look like they care for each other...a lot." Kuwabara asked, his voice hinting the fact that he was dead serious.
I didn't know how to answer his question. Hiei and Kurama were two of my best friends. The idea of the being in love was kind of an odd thought. "I'm not sure Kuwabara and to tell the truth I don't want to think about it. I've got too much else to stress about then there stupid little relationship."
"Oh.so I guess I'll be seein' ya Yusuke." The taller boy said as he walked down the street in the direction of his house.
"Yeah, Later Kuwa!" I called after him. He raised his hand over his shoulder in a short wave and then disappeared slowly into the darkness.
Now I lay at home in my bed wondering about the question Kuwabara had asked me. Did Hiei and Kurama have feelings for each other? Also if they did have feelings, what was I supposed to think about it? Half of me said that I was supposed to understand their feelings because they were my friends. The other half of me just said "ew." I wasn't very experienced with gay people and their relationships so I just knew about the stereotypes placed on them. Those stereotypes were what made me think disgusting thoughts about my friends.
"Yusuke come and make me dinner!" Atsuko yelled drunkly from the other room. Groaning, I rolled off of my bed and went to fix the hag some dinner. Sometimes I wish my mom were normal so she'd be the one fixing me food.
*Kurama's pov*
After about an hour of Hiei telling me everything was going to be all right and that he'd help me get better, I settled down a little. We had moved to the couch and I was lying with my head in his lap. He had my hands clasped in his and had fallen asleep that way. Looking up at his slumbering form, I felt a sudden wave of comfort wash over me. I think at that moment I honestly believed that he could cure all my problems just by holding me here like this.
"Suiichi? Suiichi I heard crying what's wrong? Suiichi?!" My mother walked sleepily into the room at that moment, obviously horrified at seeing me in a man's arms. Especially a man she didn't particularly like.
"Oh mother nothings wrong. You probably just heard the TV or.something." I ended rather lamely.
"No Suiichi I think YOU were the one crying. I'd know what my little boy sounds like anywhere. Anyways why is Hiei holding you so possessively?" She asked, her eyes narrowing considerably.
"Umm.well uh mother you see.it's umm." I tried to tell her about my feelings for Hiei but they just wouldn't come out.
"Do you have a problem with me loving your son Ms. Minamino? If you do I would prefer you speak your mind on it." Hiei had woken up and his garnet eyes now stared icily at the middle aged woman.
Shiori's eyes were wide open but then she looked back and forth between me and the fire youkai and her face softened. "Do you really love him Suiichi?"
Both Hiei's and her eyes turned expectantly towards me. Amazingly my voice came out, barely above a whisper. "I do mother. I do love him."
Shiori just nodded weakly and gave a comforting grin. I could tell she was hurt that I didn't have a proper relationship with a girl but I figured she'd have to just get used to it. Abruptly her eyes widened again and her lower jaw dropped. "Suiichi what happened to your beautiful red hair!" She screeched.
Looking at a lock of my hair to see what she meant I was surprised to see it was silver. Looking up at Hiei I saw him mouth the words "God not right now!" Then yet again my world welcomed in the black coldness of being unconscious.
A/N Mwahhahahaha shiori's gunna find out kurama's lil' secret! Well not for another week or so though because I am dead tired and can't think of anything else to write! Nighty night!
