Chapter7

Kurama was left standing in the middle of the road I the nearby town. Kurama began to run in search for Hiei. He ran back and forth to every place he could think of looking. He didn't know where to look, so he just kept on running. He didn't know where he was going as he noticed he was by a little bus stop on the side of a road near a large field. He was so worried about Hiei that he hadn't noticed how far he's gone from town. Kurama ran across the field as fast as he could at the moment. He knew he shouldn't be running around like this with his wounds. But he did anyways. He could feel something inside his heart telling him where to go. He was then in an unfamiliar forest. He walked around for at least 7 minutes as he looked up to see the trees blowing in the wind. "Hiei.if only you could see how much I care." All of a sudden a shadow fell out of the tree Kurama was looking at. Kurama ran towards it. He gasped, "Hiei! Are you alright?" Kurama made an effort to help him up, but the youkai smacked his hand away. "Hiei." Hiei stood up holding his head.

"Kurama, stop stalking me! I don't need your help! I can do fine all on my own!" Kurama's eyes widened as he watched Hiei disappear into the trees. Kurama stayed still, but his body quivered.

"Hiei.how can you be so cruel after all that has happened?" Kurama looked down as his tears fell to the floor. "I thought.I thought that." Kurama shook his head and began to run. He didn't care where he was going now; he just wanted to get away from where he was. His eyes were closed shut tight. He ran through all the leaves and branches, not worrying that they reopened some of his wounds. He found himself facing a small dark cave. "Well, better here than out there." Kurama's face was emotionless as he walked into the cave shivering from the cold, damp air inside. Kurama went all the way inside until he reached a dead-end. He quickly fell to the ground holing himself. He was furious and tired from the long run he had. Kurama's tears once again came out without his permission. He closed his eyes tight and held himself tighter. "HIEI YOU JERK!!" His echo went out through out the whole cave. "I HATE YOUR GUTS!!" Kurama couldn't help but to let out more tears. "How could you do this to me!??!" Kurama had fallen a sleep.

Yusuke and Kuwabara went to see Koenma. "Hey! Koenma cant you use your spirit gadgets to help us find them!?" Koenma shook his head to Yusuke. "Damn! If only I still had my demon compass!" Koenma looked at Yusuke quickly.

"Eureka Yusuke! Ive got it!" Koenma snapped his fingers and looked to his servant. "Ogre! Get me The Beautiful Suzuka on the phone!" Ogre left immediately. Kuwabara looked confused.

"Uh.Why do you want to get that clown guy on the phone? What can he do?" Yusuke wanted to know to. Koenma just smiled as the Ogre brought him the phone.

"Yes. Beautiful Suzuka?" They all listened carefully. "Are you able to rig up a youkai detector for me? It's an emergency." Koenma nodded and made a thumbs up to the two boys. "Oh, Thank you Suzu-I mean, The Beautiful Suzuka!" Koenma hung up the phone. "Good news guys!" Kuwabara and Yusuke smiled.

"So how long will this take exactly?" Koenma folded his arms and said,

"Hm. I'm not really sure. It might take him a couple days, and I'm pretty sure he'll try to do his best." Yusuke looked at Kuwabara.

"Well Fido. We might as well head out of here. Kuwabara nodded. He didn't notice what Yusuke had called him.

"Ok, lets go."

Koenma told Ogre to call a depot store. "Hello? I need lots of nails, hammers, and a whole bunch of wood."

Hiei was lying down in a tree with his back leaning against the tree bark, and his hands folded behind his head. He stared into the sky, not saying a word, but thinking. "Baka Kitsune. Why does he insist on following me? Why wont he just leave me alone?" Hiei stared at nothing as he paused for a second. " Why am I even thinking of him? Why do I even care?" Hiei looked down. "I care, maybe because.because I." Hiei began to leap the trees. " Maybe I was a little harsh. I shouldn't have lost my temper. I don't even know why I was so mad." Hiei stopped in a tree. He could hear a little sound like a child sobbing. He leaped closer to the noise until he reached a small cave where the sobbing echoed. "What is that?" Hiei quietly walked into the cave, as it got louder. "What?" He saw a figure inside of the cave lying on the ground as he got closer. His face was in surprise to see Kurama there asleep. "Kurama?" Kurama did not wake up. He was crying in his sleep.

"No.Hiei. Please don't go again..." Hiei glared at him. He was calling out for him in his sleep. "Hiei...please.why do you do this to me.?" Kurama began to cry as a whole bunch of tears ran down his face.

"Kurama?" Kurama did not wake.

"Hiei." Hiei moved is closer and sat by Kurama calling his name to try and wake him up.

"Kurama, get up." Kurama was still asleep. "Damn! He'll never wake up no matter how many times I call him." Kurama twisted and turned.

"Please Hiei.stay here." Hiei glared down at him with no emotion on his face. "Hiei.I love you." Hiei's eyes widened as if he had just been shot and he quickly looked away from Kurama. His heart pounded, and his face turned a bright pink. "Hiei.why don't you answer me.?" Hiei watched Kurama toss, turn, and weep in his sleep. Hiei could see that Kurama was in pain. Why couldn't he see this earlier? Hiei moved in closer to Kurama and shook him.

"Kurama.Kurama.wake up." Kurama squinted his eyes to the familiar voice.

"Wha--?" Kurama opened his eyes fully as he was still on the ground, looking at the walls of the cave.

"Kurama." Kurama's eyes opened wide as he looked up. He saw two large red eyes staring into his. The eyes were unfamiliar because they were not hard and cold, but soft and loving.

"Hiei. Why did you." Kurama was not able to finish his sentence as Hiei held Kurama's face in his hands. Hiei looked at him straight into the eyes and leaned forward giving him a long passionate kiss. Hiei's eyes had closed as Kurama's stayed wide for minute. Kurama could not believe that this was happening. He finally settled down and his eyes began to close as well as Kurama shed a few more tears. They both embraced the kiss, and then they finally parted. They looked each other in the eyes for what seemed like an eternity. Hiei's eyes grew large and his face puffed up a little as he began to cry. Kurama sat up and quickly held Hiei in his arms. "Hiei, please don't cry." Kurama held Hiei tightly to his body as Hiei let out all his tears.

"Kurama! You don't know how long I wanted to tell you how I feel! I don't know any other way but this to show my feelings, Kurama! I was afraid of what you might say if I told you! I thought that you would be disgusted at the fact that I had feelings for you!" Kurama closed his eyes and put his hands through Hiei's hair.

"Its ok Hiei. Cry. If it makes you feel better, go on and cry." Kurama couldn't help but to cry himself at a moment like this.

"Kurama..." Hiei grabbed onto Kurama's shirt tightly and looked up at him with teary eyes. "I love you." Kurama looked down at him and said,

"I love you too Hiei." Kurama and Hiei hugged each other tightly as it began to rain.

"Yusuke! How could you let this happen!" It was now about 8:30 on a weekend and Yusuke was getting scolded by Botan.

" I didn't LET anything happen, Botan! They just left on their own!" Yusuke folded his arms. "Besides, we'll find them soon. Suzuka's making me a new youkai detector, so it will be easy to find them." Botan's face turned red.

"And what if they're bleeding to death before it's finished!?" Botan stomped out of Yusuke's room. " Ill just go find them by myself then!" Yusuke's face was dumbfounded.

"What's her problem?" Yusuke's phone rang. It was Kuwabara.

"Hey Urameshi!!!!" Yusuke didn't know what was wrong with him. "You called me Fido!" Yusuke didn't know what he was talking about. He thought for a second and remembered.

"Oh yeah! Well, it took you long enough." Kuwabara growled at him. "Hey, now you really sound like a dog."

"Urameshi!!! I'm gonna beat you up so bad, not even kittens will look at you!"

The sun had shown through the cave and it hit Kurama's face. He felt some pressure on him and looked down to see a sleeping youkai on his chest. He really did look like a child when he was sleeping. Kurama shook him to wake up. How could he still be mad at Hiei when he looked so cute sleeping there? "Hiei, wake up." Hiei was probably the hardest sleeper in the world. It would take Kurama forever to wake him up. "Hiei." Kurama gave him a light kiss on the cheek. "Wakey-wakey sleepy head." Kurama poked him a couple of times trying to wake him. It didn't work. "Ok, then Hiei. You leave me no choice." Kurama left the cave and returned with a big leaf filled with cold spring water. He crept up on Hiei who was fast asleep. " Ok, Hiei" Kurama made an attempt to pour the water on Hiei's face as Hiei's arm moved in the air and hit the leaf. "Whoa!" The water splashed all over Kurama's face instead of Hiei's. Hiei's eyes opened to see a wet Kurama with a smile on his face. "Oh. So finally you're up!" Hiei laughed as he saw the leaf in Kurama's hand.

"So, was that water supposed to be for me?" They both began to laugh softly then to a louder tone. Botan was riding on her oar in search for the two lost boys.

"Hiei!!! Kurama!!!" Botan was scared that she might not find them, Kurama especially for some reason. "Where are you!?!?" She heard laughing as she turned her oar around to follow it. Hiei wiped Kurama's face off with his hand and laughed. "I'm sorry. I really didn't know that you were even there." Kurama chuckled

"Its alright, Hiei." The both couldn't stop smiling.

"Is there anyway I can make it up to you?" Kurama smirked and said,

"Hm. You know I think there is." Kurama moved in closer to Hiei and have him a light short kiss, although it didn't last long, Botan saw the whole thing. She was standing only five feet away from the two.

"Oh my!" She covered her mouth with her hands as the two jumped up as quickly as they could.

"My, B-B-Botan! Wh-What are y-you doing here?" Kurama stuttered at his words as all three of their faces turned dark red.
