Disclaimer: Yu Yu Hakusho belongs to Yoshihiro Togashi, Shonen Jump, FUNimation, etc. However, I do own the idea for this story. Plagiarism will not be tolerated.
Warning(s): If you didn't bother reading the summary, you might not know that this will contain extreme yaoi. Yuusuke/Hiei Also, there will probably be OOC-ness... Gomen ne! To wrap it all up, there's a lemon in the first chapter... Great, ne?
Hm. It's seems that I've decided to continue this. But who would complain after seeing all of the wonderful reviews I've gotten? (Especially the one from Rujutoshi; it meant a lot to me that you'd bother to read this!)
I decided to change the title for this. Whee... It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and I guess that's what I love about it... (The summary's been changed, too.)
Anyway, on with what you've been waiting for. n.n I hope that it's not too bad...
Unexpected
Hiei awoke to the soft chirping of birds and flickering sunlight, which filtered in through the window. Even with his sleepy gaze, he could see the bright blue and cloudless sky through the blinds, and hear the slight breeze as it whistled through cracks in the wall. From what he could tell, it was turning out to be a gorgeous and absolutely perfect day.
Turning his vivid crimson orbs away from the window, Hiei looked around the rest of the room. His eyes soon landed on the clothes strewn about on the floor, and he instantly knew that one set belonged to him, considering that he was only covered with the blankets from the bed. He shivered at that thought, and pulled the sheets tighter around himself.
Almost immediately, the sheets tugged back as a voice issued from behind him.
"...Stop hoggin' the covers, Firefly..."
Hiei's head whipped around in surprise, though he let out a sigh of relief when he saw that it was just the hanyou...
His hanyou...
A small, nearly invisible smile flitted across the hiyoukai's lips before he crawled over to Yuusuke, burrowing into the youth's arms while burying his face in his chest. The detective let a short laugh escape him as he wrapped Hiei into an embrace.
The Jaganshi's eyes closed once more while Yuusuke pulled the sheets around the two of them. Indeed, it would be a wonderful day...
...Or so he thought.
.-.-.-.
"Thanks, mom! I'll see you later!"
Keiko grinned cheerily as she left the family restaurant, a cup of chicken-flavored ramen in one hand and chopsticks in the other. After shifting the small knapsack that hung off her shoulders, she set off towards the nearest subway station, eating the noodles as she went.
'Oh, it's going to be so great to see Yuusuke and everyone else! I can't believe that the trip lasted so long...' she thought as she held out her train pass for the guard to inspect. Once he was satisfied, he beckoned the girl into the car and directed her to a surprisingly empty seat. She sat down, thanking him happily.
The ride was a bit long, but Keiko expected that, seeing as the stop closest to Genkai's temple was on the other side of the city. However, she truthfully took no notice as she was too caught up in her memories of the vacation she had just returned from.
During the last three months, Keiko had been at her cousin's house in Hiroshima. Though the two girls were close (even for relatives), it had been years since they'd gotten a chance to see each other; so when her parents had proposed the trip, Keiko had eagerly accepted it without a second thought.
Over the stay, her cousin had somehow gotten Keiko to tell her everything that had happened recently, and she unknowingly revealed how she was longing for Yuusuke. Koiji had taken it upon herself to think up a way to get the two together, and eventually told Keiko to just confess to him. There was a chance that Yuusuke would return her feelings, but if he didn't, then Keiko would just have to move on.
A small sigh escaped the girl as she exited the train, depositing the now-empty cup and chopsticks into a nearby trash bin. She quickly navigated through the station, coming out of the building in a rather secluded area. (She had found it the first time she went to Genkai's this way, and chose to use it from then on due to the fact that hardly anyone else did. Plus, it acted as a shortcut to the temple.)
Automatically, Keiko headed to her left, towards the forest that lined the walkway. From there, she turned onto a hidden pathway that would lead her right to her destination.
'I have to tell him today... I have to! It's now or never; I've been prolonging this enough as it is.' she thought while biting her lip. She wasn't even in front of him, and she was already nervous!
Keiko reached the temple stairs after another half-hour. Taking a deep breath, she began the ascent, for once thanking the elderly psychic for having so many steps. At least this way, she'd have a few extra minutes to compose herself...
As Keiko got to the top and to the door, she made sure to check her reflection in a compact mirror. Exhaling deeply again, she stuffed it back into her pocket before heading inside.
No sooner had she been given the chance to take her shoes off when two blue-haired girls ran up to her. One was tall and had bright violet eyes. Her hair was tied back in a high pony-tail, though it still cascaded down her back. "Oh, Keiko-chan! You're back!"
"Hi, Botan! I'm so glad to see you!" the ningen girl exclaimed, returning Botan's hug. She turned her gaze to her other friend, the rather short and crimson-eyed ice apparition. "Hello, Yukina. How've things been at the temple?"
Yukina smiled shyly before replying. "Everything's wonderful, but we've missed you."
Keiko felt her cheeks tint lightly, though she brushed it off. "So, what've I missed while I was gone?"
As soon as the words had left her mouth, the two other girls exchanged quick and nervous looks. "Um... Nothing! It's all been very dull with you gone. Nothing, er, odd has happened, if that's what you mean." Botan piped up, though her tone seemed hesitant.
Keiko frowned at her friends' unusual behavior, but shrugged that matter off. She had more pressing things to do, after all. "Uh, do you know where Yuusuke is? I need to talk to him..."
The ferry girl bit her lip before speaking. "He's in the first spare room, down the hall on your right... But I really don't think that you should-!"
However, Keiko gave her no chance to complete her sentence, having already taken off down the hallway. She dashed past many doors, too overwhelmed with excitement and anxiety to walk.
The girl came to a halt in front of a door, noting that it had the words "guest room" scribbled on the framing. She took several more deep breaths to try and calm her nerves before she raised a shaking hand to the door, knocking on it sharply.
She received no answer.
Keiko tried once more, wringing her hands as she waited for some sound of movement to come from the other side. When all remained silent, she made up her mind to just go right in, even if it seemed rude. Yuusuke was probably in one of his deep sleeps, and dead to the world at the time.
Chewing on her lower lip, she set her knapsack down before gripping the woodwork of the door. With one last deep breath, she through it open and strode into the room, smiling in the way she knew that he loved.
"Yuusuke, I'm back from my trip and... and I... I..."
Even as her sentence trailed off, a high-pitched scream erupted from Keiko, her eyes wide in shock.
.-.-.-.
Yuusuke's eyes snapped open as soon as the shriek pierced the air. His grip on the hiyoukai in his arms tightened considerably as he bolted upright. This action also caused the sheets to slip down to both their hips, though the hanyou took no notice of it as he scanned around the room wildly for the source of the screech.
His chocolate-colored gaze landed on a familiar brunette girl, who was standing just inside the doorway, her hands covering her mouth. Her eyes were lined with tears as she looked at the two in what appeared to be despair.
Yuusuke could only gape at her in surprise. "K-Keiko...?"
As he spoke her name, the girl let out a muffled sob, a single tear escaping her overflowing eyes. "H... How could you...?"
The detective was about to respond when he felt Hiei stir in his arms. The small youkai yawned quietly before gazing up at Yuusuke, frowning when he saw the expression his mate was wearing. "...Koi, what's wrong?" When he received no answer, he followed the hanyou's gaze only to have his own widen unnaturally.
Keiko began to approach the bed slowly, her hands having lowered themselves. She forced down another sob before speaking, her voice shaking terribly. "...H-How could you do this to me...? I thought that we h-had something...!"
Yuusuke gripped the Jaganshi protectively as she drew nearer. "Keiko, we... We never had anything like that! We've just been friends!"
Yet again the girl sobbed, more tears cascading down her cheeks. "How can you say that? Didn't you know that I love you?"
The hanyou's eyes widened considerably, though he quickly averted his gaze. "I... I can't say that I feel the same way..."
Keiko sobbed once more before backing away, her previous intentions now forgotten. Her brown bangs shaded her eyes in an attempt to hide the tears, though it was pointless. "No, Yuusuke... N-Never mind. Forget it, okay...?"
The detective looked back up, biting his lip. "Keiko, I-."
"Yuusuke, just shut up. I'm leaving now, alright?" the girl exclaimed, turning on her heal a second later. Without giving him a chance to call her back, Keiko dashed out of the room, slamming the door behind her. She could be heard running through the temple, her sobs echoing back down the hall, along with Botan's concerned voice a moment later.
Yuusuke sighed loudly, glancing down to the hiyoukai on his lap with a sad smile on his lips. "Well, that was unexpected, ne...?"
Ending Notes: This pales in comparison with the previous chapter, in my own opinion. From what I can tell, this story won't really have any plot, unless I choose to make Hiei pregnant, or something...
...Would I really resort to that...?
...Oh, hell yeah.
