CHAPTER 2
Hiei re-enters the temple with an empty cup in his hand. He sees the others stir and start to wake up. Genkai first, then Koenma and Botan, then Yukina, and last but not least, Yuusuke. Poor Kuwabara took in too much and has yet to wake up. But he's not dead; just still passed out.
The new 21-year-old eyes the short figure that stands in the doorway.
"Well, you're up early," he says with a sleepy tone of voice.
"It's 10am," replies Hiei in an annoyed voice.
"Oh." Yuusuke yawns and stretches, same with everyone else.
The two girls in the other room heard Yuusuke's voice and came in. In their hands were plates with a variety of food on each.
"I'd know that voice anywhere. Good morning Yuusuke." Keiko sounded cheerful for some reason…
Everyone looks at the girls Shizuru and Keiko that just walked in. The girls greeted them nicely while the guys were drooooooling over the aroma of food. They stare in hunger, even Hiei. Oddly enough, the smell of the delicious food wakes Kuwabara up from his long slumber. He's up and awake…when it comes to food. ( > which ish not really true about him)
"Dig in children and Genkai." The girls set the plates down on the table everyone was sleeping around. It rests in the middle of the room and everyone is already around it somewhat.
Without hesitation, the hungry boys eat anything and everything in sight. But they are courteous enough to leave some for the girls. As for amongst them, there was no mercy. They fight with their chopsticks for certain pieces of food.
Hiei remains still in his same spot at the door. He stares at everyone eating and thinks.
The smell is so alluring…but…I don't want to eat it. Why don't I want to eat the food? Not long after he asks himself that question, he is hit with the reason. It's Kurama. He said he'd make something for me. But why does that stop me? I can eat both.
The koorime boy wonders about his thoughts. Indeed he can eat a lot right now; he's starving. But waiting and only going to eat what Kurama prepares for him? That is what Hiei doesn't understand. He doesn't understand why he is feeling this way.
He is not given long to think. Kurama emerges from the other room with a tray in his hands. On the tray is a bowl, a cup of coffee, and for some reason, a rose in a little vase in the corner. The kitsune interrupts Hiei's thoughts.
"Here you go…Hii-chan." He smiles cutely.
Hiei ignores that little nickname and looks down at the bowl of a semi-clear substance. He gazes at it in confusion.
"What the hell is that?"
"It's chicken noodle coup. Good for hangovers." How thoughtful. Kurama made soup for his blasting hangover.
The koorime boy looks up at the kitsune. "Oh." Without questioning any further, he takes the tray and sits where he stood. He stays by himself, isolated from the rest of the group, just the way he likes it.
Kurama quietly retreats to the other room with a smile on his face.
By now, everyone has stopped eating and are now staring at Hiei in disbelief. All gazes so fixated on the little dark one and his soup.
In time, Hiei senses he's being watched. He doesn't snap at them like he usually does. Instead, he gazes back and asks the obvious "what?"
They all are thinking the same things but no one has the guts to talk first. They know what Hiei is capable of and pissing him off would be bad.
Yuusuke, who is not a year older and a year wiser, knows he can take on Hiei. He's the brave on that speaks first.
"You and Kurama are very…um…close now?"
Hiei's calm stare turned into a cold glare.
"Where the hell did you get that ridiculous idea from?"
The former detective tries to brush off the creepy glare.
"Ever since the beginning of the party, you and Kurama have gotten closer and closer. We're suspecting that you two could be…a couple?"
The glare became more intensified. "We?"
Kuwabara cracks under its coldness.
"By 'we', Urameshi means himself." He gives a nervous laugh, showing his vulnerability.
The koorime boy says no more. He releases his stare upon the group and stands up. He leaves to go see Kurama in the other room without a word.
But after he parted, he distinctively heard Yuusuke break the ice with one of his stupid comments.
"Koenma, you were so wasted yesterday, it was sick."
He he he stole that last line from ATHF. Anywho, I liked this chapter. Tis was very very interesting.
