Aloha! As some may have noticed, my name's now ame-tennyo AKA Hyena Frog... And, yes, there IS a reasonable reason for this... Would anyone like to know?
(crickets) (cough) (cough)
Ahaha... Erm, yes, well... Let's just say I have weird dreams...
(crickets)
...Riiight...
And I'm sorry for the continuing cliff hangers... This story has just too many good places for cliff hangers... I just can't help myself! I NEED REHAB FOR CLIFF HANGERS!
...Eh, heh, heh...
ON TO CHAPPIE!
Chapter Seven...Half-breed
Kurama's scream filled the morning air, but Yusuke didn't bother waking up, for he was snoring too loud to hear it. Mukuro, on the other hand, was wide awake and outside along with Yukina, "Oh, my," Yukina said, "Do you thing something's the matter?"
"No, Kurama has just woken up is all," Mukuro answered.
"But why would he scream because Hiei's in his bed? Isn't it a good thing?"
You know more about the situation then you let on, don't you? Mukuro thought as she starred at Yukina's innocent face.
Meanwhile, in the scene of the... incident. Hiei's eyes snap open as he glares at Kurama for waking him up with that shriek. He had a hangover, for Christ's sake! "Why the fuck are you yelling!" he says as he sits up. Kurama stares at him, while the youkai accesses the situation. Why am I in in the fox's bed...? More importantly, why are we NAKED in his bed? Hiei blinks as he comes to a conclusion, "Sssh... We really got hammered, didn't we?"
"How can you crack jokes at a time like this?" Kurama hissed. He instantly regretted it as his head protested the movement he made to wrap his hands around Hiei's neck.
"Easy," Hiei rubs his head slightly, "...Do you remember anything?"
"...No..."
"Good. Neither do I."
"Wh... What do mean "Good"?"
Hiei looks at the redhead seriously, "If we don't remember it, then it never really happened, now did it? Besides, I see no proof we actually did do anything like that..."
"Oh, yeah," Kurama started sarcastlicly, "We just decided to pass out in my bed, but were thoughtful enough to get our clothes off so we wouldn't take up so much room," this made Hiei laugh ever so slightly, "Thinking logically, as always...," he says, "But, unfortunetly, logic doesn't work for a drunk man. For all we know, what you suggested is true..."
Kurama acknowledged this as a possibility. They sat there for several seconds, until Hiei broke the stillness by sliding up to Kurama, so that their faces were mere inches apart, "So, if we did have sex, who do think was the uke?"
"H-Hiei! I can't believe you'd even ask me that!" Kurama's face was turning red very fast. Hiei smirked and grabbed the lock of hair in front of Kurama's ear, "Just as I thought. That was enough to get your face the same color as your hair," Kurama glared and smacked Hiei's hand away, "Now, I'd appreciate it if you'd kindly get dressed and leave my room."
"Why don't you get dressed first? Unless you'd like to watch me dress..."
"Get dressed or I'm kicking you out naked," Kurama hissed.
"He's a prodigy! He must be!" This is all I heard growing up... but that was about to change...
"Heh, heh! Look, it's the "prodigy"!" Some punk from my clan... He probably thinks I think of him as a lower being just cause I'm silver and he's red... But that's not it, I think of him as a lower being because he's an idiot...
"What do you want?"
"Ooooh! Am I draining your precious tiiiime?"
"No, but you're killing my brain cells with your idiocy," he growls and grabs me by the collar, "What'd you say!" I smirk, "Too stupid to understand?"
"LEX!" I hear his mother's voice, "Let go of Kurama before you get persecuted for touching him!" Lex drops me to the ground, spits to my side and leaves with his mother.
And, I find myself alone again...
"I'm leaving this damned place..."
Yusuke kept looking between the two of them, noticing how Kurama seemed rather tense this morning, and not trying very hard to hide his obvious displeasure. Hiei, on the other hand, seemed rather relaxed and indifferent, "What? Is it Opposite Day, or somethin'?" he mumbled to himself. They were outside, waiting for Kuwabara's arrival with new from Nigenkai. He seemed to be coming more often ever since Yukina came to live here three years ago... And Hiei was always on edge with the "buffoon" around. But not today, apparantly...
"YUKINAAAA-SAAAAAAAAN!"
Yusuke saw both Hiei and Kurama wince at the sound of his voice. Why do they look like that's irritating their hangover? (sigh... Yusuke's clueless...), "I'll kill him one day... I swear it...," the hanyou heard this mutttered from undoubtedly Hiei. Ah, things are sort of back to normal...
"Kazuma-san, he-," before Yukina could finish her sentence, her hands were clasped together between the ningen's.
"Yukina-san," Kuwabara started, "I hope you've been well?"
"Of course... It's only been a day or so..."
"Ahem," Yusuke coughed, "I hate to break this up but, ya know..."
"Ah, yes! THE NEWS!" Kuwabara lets go of Yukina and pulls a piece of paper out of his pocket, "You have to read this... Though, I think it'd be better if you were alone..."
"Alone...?" Yusuke was slightly annerved by his friend's seriousness. But despite that, he walked back inside the complex, and Kuwabara followed.
"What do you suppose it says?" Yukina asked. Hiei didn't say anything, and Kurama could have sworn he saw him back up ever so slightly, "I'm not sure... But it must be important for Kuwabara to come all the way here to tell Yusuke about it..."
"Hn. That idiot's purpose for coming here was Yukina, not the message... It always has been...," Hiei added.
"You say that as if it were a bad thing, Hiei-san...," Yukina said. Hiei blinked, "Uhn... Whatever, I'm leaving," and with that, Hiei dissapears. Hiei... are you that uncomfortable around your own sister...?
"WHAAAAAAT!"
"Told you you'd wanna be alone," Kuwabara sighs. Yusuke stares at the paper the ningen had handed him.
"They passed it... They actually passed it as a law... The HUMANS did, no less!"
"I know..."
And written before Yusuke was a copy of the official document saying that all children born of taboo after this date will be killed alongside their parents..., "The humans passed this... THOSE DAMNED HYPOCRITES! They're the ones who protested the law for the taboo in the first place!"
"I know..."
"And to think... My mom and I could be dead if Reikai hadn't dissagreed on killing ALL children of taboo..."
"I... know..."
"Kuwabara...," Yusuke was surprised at the sudden lament in his friend's voice, "Oh...," he realized it, now, "That means... You can never..."
"I know, Urameshi," Kuwabara's voice was strained. He could never have any full-commitment relationship with Yukina... Or any at all soon, if the humans had their way once more...
"This is so... stupid..."
"I know."
And soon the news spread throughout Makai, out raging some, and welcomed by most, "Good. That'll keep that damnable human blood out of our children... Now we just wait for the half-breeds we have now to die off..."
"Heh, heh... Why wait, when we can kill 'em our selves?"
WHOONOCLIFFY
That wasn't a cliffy, was it? I've done so many, I can't tell the difference anymore...
Oh, well...
Hmmm... There doesn't seem to be much HxK here yet, does it? That will be fixed next chapter! Muhahaha! Oh, the HxKness there will be! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Preview: Hunters after Yusuke's head, Kuwabara's misery, Mukuro's plans and... GASP! Yaoi!
Muhaha, see ya next time!
Here! I made a timeline for peoples to read and under stand what happened when! And also to keep me in track...
Five years and three months ago: Youko Kurama shot by bounty hunter, and is forced to assume his human disguise until he is fully healed.
Five years ago: Hiei goes crazy and tells Kurama to leave, so he does. (won't give away all details! to be revealed in later chapters!)
For a year after that: Kurama becomes a heavy drinker, but after a year, stops.
During that year: Yusuke makes (illegal) arrangements for Kuwabara to continuosly cross over the borders.
The next year: Yukina comes to live with Yusuke and Hiei.
Six months later: Mukuro appears and stays with Yusuke and Yukina and Hiei.
The next year: Hiei starts to travel by himself more often, dispite Yusuke's wishes.
And in recent times: Hiei gets arrested. Kurama gets arrested. Both are jailed (ironically) in the same cell.
And now: Well, you read the chapter!
