Chapter name: Is hate really the word?

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Yusuke walked on through the endless night and the shadows of the trees. The wind howled, blowing the leaves on the dirt path. Yusuke still had a destination to reach, where obviously he was to meet Hiei at. It was strange Hiei new he was coming but supposedly, he had his ways.

But the minutes ticked away…..just…like….life.

-X-

Yusuke slid down the face of the tree trunk, feeling a few stabs from the wood in his back but he didn't care do to the rest of the shape he was in.

He flipped his book bag over his shoulder, letting it land softly in his lap. He took a full water bottle out, and refreshingly drank from it.

The sky above him, the sun was just starting to come up, yet some stars were still lit, and some were just now burning out.

Yusuke snapped his bottle shut, and after returning it to his pack, he through it to his side.

He would sleep here in this very spot if he really had to. His choice at everything was something to believe and make. His to either move on…..or lay here motionless. His choice to ever return home. To trust Hiei……or ever do anything that was told to be right.

X-

Yusuke opened his eyes again, rubbing that irritating goop from his eyes everyone gets as they awake. He looked at the sun partially, noticing it was slowly falling over the hills. He was estimating it was around 6. He slept for 12 hours maybe.

Knowing he had to, Yusuke went back to his journey in the woods.

2 WEEKS LATER

Yusuke fell to his knees, yelping a bit as the heavy mud splatter him everywhere. He panted non stop. He hasn't had water for days, except the rains water. And he was even lucky he got to eat a squirrel he killed with a rock.

He thought he was clearly wasting his time. He thought what if what Kuwabara said was really true….

FLASHBACK

"Yusuke im really telling you, Hiei kills animals for fun! He even killed his own brother!" Kuwabara told.

"How the flip would you know? You hate him remember?" Yusuke snapped back.

"You DON'T want to be his friend man! He has his own swords and everything!"

"Kuwabara……..shut it!"

XXX

Yusuke managed to slide out of the mud. The dark brown mud smudged his hair, making it stick in directions, and his bangs from his eyes.

He didn't know how far he was or how close he was from where Hiei was, but he was now willing to give up.

Splash.

"Damn that feels good." Yusuke whispered as much water was poured on his head. Too bad it made the mud nastier.

"Hey, get up." The voice of the dude spoke.

Yusuke cracked one of his eyes open. He could see only the feet of him, and he wore black boots.

Yusuke used his arms to slightly push him up, but he trembled greatly. After maybe 5 minutes Yusuke stood straight up and faced who had come upon him.

"Yusuke its me….Hiei." The boy spoke in a rather deep voice.

"Really? Then get the hell away." Yusuke choked out.

"I know that you kill stuff….I don't want to have anything to do with you…so leave!" Yusuke said, but he made his leave retreating from Hiei.

Hiei gripped his sword that was placed carefully under his cloak.

"Ow." Yusuke whined as Hiei through a rock at him.

"What the hell do you think your doing talking to me like that?" Hiei growled.

"I don't like you anymore. Your evil!" Yusuke whined. Clearly you can tell he is very exhausted and screwed up.

Hiei ran up to Yusuke close, his face only inches apart from Yusuke's.

"Then…..I'll have teach you a lesson….you fool." Hiei chuckled, pushing Yusuke from his face.

"I thought you were so much different then this, Hiei." Yusuke spoke, falling back into the mud.

"I don't speak of everything…..besides you should never trust people that hack a lot. They can screw with you on your comp. even better at screwing with your head." Hiei point and laughed at Yusuke.

"I truly hate you." Yusuke shrugged, then stood again.

Yusuke's eyes widened as Hiei drew his sword.

"What the hell-

"Hiei!"

Yusuke and Hiei turned to face the woods as a red headed boy came running to them.

"Hiei what are- hey I know you! Your that kid in my school!" The red head chirped.

"Kurama get away." Hiei snapped.

"I thought you said you liked Yusuke?" Kurama asked.

Hiei glared at the two of them. "How did you get here anyways?" Hiei asked, annoyed.

Kurama brought a finger to his lips. "It's my own foxy secret, remember Hiei?" Kurama laughed.

Yusuke stared.

"Go away now." Hiei growled.

Kurama shrugged and walked away.

"I am really going to finish your ass." Hiei threatened.

Yusuke closed his eyes tight. "Kuwabara was truly right about you!" He yelled, re opening them.

"?"

"Hiei I before really did trust you! Your just…..how the flip could you!" Yusuke whined, gripping his fists together.

Hiei smiled slightly at his sword. "I suppose you really thought your parents went to Canada?"

"They….did.."

"Well I hacked in and made a little email alert that your grandma was dieing. They believed and went. Too bad that tornado that was there happened. All this news is a bit of a….swirley huh?" Hiei laughed.

"Go to hell!" Yusuke yelled, smashing his fist into Hiei's stomach.

Hiei smiled.

"I really…..really hate you." Yusuke whispered as a few tears stun his eyes.

"Is hate really the word to use……I think it is more like funny."

"What?"

Hiei smiled big and bright.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Hiei laughed, shooting water at Yusuke with a bubble squirt gun. "I tricked you, loser!" Hiei laughed some more, throwing his wooden sword on the ground.

"God, what a big loser." Hiei chuckled and pointed at Yusuke.

Yusuke whipped a tear. "Everything was a set up?"

Kurama then suddenly appeared from the trees. "Yep."

Their conversation then ended with a water fight.

Oh happy day.
