Part 2

Hiei watched as the blood trickled down his arm. Normally, he wouldn't be this weak. He wasn't doing this to kill himself. He was doing this to see if Kurama would realize the pain he is causing the little youkai to go this far into doing something as foolish as this.

Hiei wasn't that far from Makuro's fortress and he knew that she could feel his presence in the area. When his energy would start lower, he'd be sure Makuro would send someone after him.

Hiei then started to feel dizzy and sick as energy started to decrease do to the blood loss.

Will you help me, Kurama? Would you care if I died? Probably not. You have a newer life. I'm just a thing of the past. Hn. Hiei then looked back at his wrist and then growled. "What the hell am I doing? I'm doing something foolish. Not like me at all. And that I cannot allow." Hiei then got up quickly but ended up falling from the tree to unconsciousness.

6hrs later

Hiei woke to find himself not in the forest but in a soft bed. He then heard water followed by the feeling of a cloth against his left wrist.

"Finally amongst the living?" a voice said.

Hiei turned a look at a direction of the voice but could hardly make out the silhouette. Who are you?

"Huh?"

"Why would you do such a thing to yourself? You gave me such a scare. I thought for sure you wouldn't be save in time."

Hiei then frowned. Kurama.

The demon then tried to sit up but was stopped by a pair of hands on him.

"Don't sit up, Hiei. Lay. You may get dizzy if you do. But tell me Hiei. Why did you cut your wrists?"

"Where am I?"

The fox sighed. "At Makuro's fortress. She called me here after you were found. Now answer my question."

"Hn. Makuro." Hiei looked away. Which made Kurama get angry for ignoring him.

The redhead then placed a hand on the small apparition's shoulder. "Hiei, please look at me."

No, I can't. To look into those green eyes after what I had just done is a mustn't.

Kurama once again sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. Why are you acting this way Hiei?

"I was really petrified when I heard what happened to you. Especially the fact that you where the one trying to end your own life. I thought, what if no one got to him in time to save him from death? I would've lost you." Kurama said softly.

Hiei scowled and turned to Kurama. "And what do you care? You have your new life. You don't need me for a friend anymore. You don't even bother with me anymore, Fox." tears had started to water up in the small warrior's eyes as he spoke this. "Gods, Kurama. I fucken love you and yet I still know that I can't have you. But I'd rather have you as a close friend than nothing at all. I can't stand it how all you do is ignore me since you started being with her. And you're too foolishly blind to realize this. All you're thinking about is you're pathetic love life."

Kurama's eyes widened suddenly. He then closed them to keep from getting angry. It was the last thing the small youkai needed. "Don't start with me Hiei."

Hiei just couldn't take it anymore and snapped it all out. "Don't start? How could I not when all I could do is feel pain? You know what? I lecture you because I care. Hey that's what friends do, huh? At least that's what you and Yusuke taught me. And yet it's ok for you not to care about how we feel. You expect us to change something that you don't like but it's ok for you not to. Well, news flash! Friend's are 50/50. Things are to be equal both ways. Now think about that. Until I see you next. Goodbye."

With that, the young demon quickly fleeted off.

Hiei once again found himself running in the Makai forest.

Kurama. When will you realize that you are not alone? That... I care for you? That I...I need you.

sorry this is a bit short. But I'm already starting the 3rd part. Just to let everyone know though. This is based on what I'm going through with my best friend. But I didn't cut my wrists. Perhaps you readers can give suggestions on how to solve this. Oh and don't forget to review.
