Words of A Broken Core
Chapter 4: No Tears Shall Fall
Kuwabara POV
"Yuusuke."
Hiei's cool tone demanded an answer. Urameshi slowed his pace, leaving Kurama alone at the front. Dimly, I mused on how Kurama used to be the one accompanying Hiei, who would always lag behind, and teased him. But now he's just a…lone fox. He has been more distant than ever these weeks, keeping quiet and mostly to himself, talking out of bare necessity.
I slipped back into reality to hear Urameshi's explanations to the shrimp. I don't see why Hiei would ask. After all, it doesn't seem to benefit him at all.
"…I'm not too sure of what happened. He refused to say anything about it."
The shrimp kept quiet, looking as if he couldn't give a damn about what happened to Kurama.
I blinked. Wait, did I just see concern in his eyes?
Hah, it can't be. If he had cared, he would not have left Kurama when he needed him most.
Yuusuke's POV
Hiei had kept quiet after that, deep in his own thoughts. I could tell he was more than just a little concerned for Kurama though. It was evident in his posture and every single line of his movement.
"Uh, Hiei, why don't you just ask him? I mean, he'd tell you, wouldn't he?" I asked tentatively, in a softer voice.
"Maybe later," he said absently. Then seemingly reaching a conclusion, he turned to me and demanded in a sharp tone.
"Relate to me what happened that day." Sheesh,so much for gratefulness.
However, I nodded and turned in front, making sure of Kurama's presence before launching in what had happened that fateful night.
#Flashback#
"Damn! Thanks a bunch, KuwaBAKA, for that brilliant suggestion! Now we're so totally soaked, courtesy to your oh so marvelous brainwave!"
Hey, watch who you're calling baka! How the heck would I know it's gonna rain?"
My sarcastic retort was interrupted by a flash of lightning. The temporary brightness illuminated a huddled figure at my doorstep, wt and shivering.
"Hey, isn't that Kurama?" uwabara voiced out. "Oi, Kura…"
I elbowed him in the ribs, hissing at him, in lack of better term, to keep quiet for once.
Walking closer, I realized it was indeed Kurama. But he was shaking, not because of the cold as I had thought ealier, but with barely suppressed sobs.
