Hiei/ Yusuke Ch. 3: Is he protecting me?

Yusuke awoke sometime later when the sun was just rising to something tickling his nose. He kept his eyes closed feeling extremly tired still. Especially since something strangly warm was wrapped around him adding extra heat. Unfortunantly, that something that made him wake up in the first place kept persisting, and would not allow him peace. Slowly, and with much trouble, he opened his eyes, only to have them widen instantly with shock.

For there, wrapped snuggly against his chest, the very thing keeping him so warm, was Hiei. A peacful look about his face as he breathed evenly against his torso. He realized right away it must have been in Hiei's sleep that he had snuggled up to his chest.

He knew it really ment nothing, and he pondered for a second why that thought hurt him. shaking his head very slowly he ridded the thoughts from starting into that whole thing. He couldn't help the grin that spread across his face as he stared sleepily into the fire demons usually snearing face.He felt a swealing in his chest, and very gently with as little jerking as he could, scooted out from under the fire youkai. Not wanting to embaress Hiei in any way, and also fearing the smaller boy's reaction.

Standing up, he watched Hiei for a second and noticed the slight difference in his face as he frowned in his sleep and curled up into himself, obviously trying to make up for the sudden loss of heat.

Yusuke sighed deeply and winced as he felt his side strain, even though he was still slightly in pain, he smiled at the remebrance of Hiei helping and touching him.

He frowned slightly. 'Should I be having thoughts like this?' he asked himself 'He's a guy...' He shook his head once more to try and stop the flow of thoughts. Mentaly shrugging, he headed toward the cave. Stopping at the lip he looked back feeling a pair of eyes on his back.

"What do you think your doing?" Hiei asked sitting up sounding quite peeved his patient was up and walking around.

"Oh, I'm better now... I'm just gonna get something." He told a groggie Hiei and set off back into the cave, giving no room for argument.

He went slowly to the water hole in the back straining his eyes in the weak light of the now risen sun. He found the spot where the food was still anchored and kneeled pulling out two more boxes for their early morning meal. He set the rest back in the water, shivering as he wiped them off against his jeans. He stood up grunting as he felt it tear even more. Turning around he was once again greeted by the ever quiet Hiei since he wasn't expecting that you can only guess what happened next.

He jumped, startling Hiei for once who caught him and saved him from falling into the pond again, but upon doing so he lost his own balance and in a last ditch effort to avoid the freezing water he shifted his weight to his back and they both tumbled down to the ground Yusuke on the bottom his eyes tightly shut in pain, untill he noticed something off... He opened his eyes and gasped on top of him was Hiei one knee between his legs and both arms holding him up from slamming down onto Yusuke's currently damaged body... but that is not what made Yusuke gasp.

What did it, was the fact that Hiei's face had landed so close to his own that their lips had ended up meeting eachother in a brief kiss untill Hiei stood up very quickly, a horrified look in his eyes and even in the dim lighting Yusuke could see the dark blush corrupting Hiei's otherwise pale features. His fingers involuntarily went to his lips and he stared up at Hiei, his own blush he knew quit evident.

Hiei, however would not make eye contact and remained standing over him, his eyes darting everywhere. As the awkward silence stretched onward... Yusuke finally became aware of the position he was still in and sat up too quickly managing to pull his nice new wounds, soon to be scars, open. He grimaced and looked up to find Hiei's hand offering help, he took it silently. Neither knew what to say so they kept it that way. Hiei bent down and picked up their meals from where they had been ubruptly thrown.

"... Sorry..." Hiei mumbled after clearing his throat.

"...It's ok, no harm done... You really should make more noise when you walk..." He mumbled back.

And thuse, the awkward silence began again.

"You should be resting..." Hiei repremended, as they came out of the opening and handing Yusuke his breakfast, Hiei hastily shoved the food down. Noticing Yusuke was doing the same. When they had swollowed the last bite, Yusuke sat down setting the empty box next to him.

Hiei set his down with Yusuke's and stood unsure for a second, then finally making up his mind. He jumped up into the tree. Yusuke sighed with half relief and half dissapointment.

"Anything interesting?" He asked after a few hours had gone by, and Yusuke found he could not for the life of him fall asleep, especially not after that kiss no matter if it were an accident or extremly brief he could not get the feel of Hiei's soft, warm lips on his own, out of his mind.

"No." He answered bluntly.

"Oh... I can't sleep..." Yusuke whined.

"Want me to knock you out?" Hiei asked slightly sarcastic.

"No, that's okay..." They lapsed into silence once more.

"Wanna play a game?" Yusuke suggested more out of bordom and knowing it would piss Hiei off slightly. Acting normal after all that had happend. He smirked at the prospect.

"No." Hiei answered rather quickly.

"Wanna talk?"

"No." Hiei answered realizing the point of the whole conversation. 'So it's piss Hiei off...? I wonder what brought this game up...' Hiei thought.

"Wanna... sing?" He asked nearly laughing at the thought of Hiei singing.

"I'll take that as a no..." He said grinning.

"Hn."

"Wanna kill something?"

"Yes."

"Really?" Yusuke asked knowing where this was going, and that he had won his twisted game of piss the demon off.

"Yes, you. Now shut up I'm trying to observe."

"... Fine... I was done anyways." Yusuke sat back, crossing his arms over his chest, heaving a large sigh he stared up at Hiei's dangling feet. His thoughts drifted off toward the kiss once more and soon... Yusuke found himself asleep, dreaming... at first he hadn't realized he was asleep because everything was the same, only a little fuzzier. He looked up to see if Hiei was still awake and found that no one was there.

He frowned slightly, wondering where the demon had run off to. He stood up, frowning as he noticed now the wierdness of the whole situation and how he didn't hear anything. Not even the wind or wild animals not even his own heart or footsteps as he shifted his weight. Thinking he had gone deaf for some reason or another He panicked "Hiei!" He yelled out and herd his voice echo, his frown deepened "So... not deaf...?" He wondered aloud.

He walked forward a few more steps, not likeing the feel of the place, or the total solitude. He walked toward the cave thinking he would look there first. Slowly poking his head in the cave he spotted Hiei's red orbs glowing in the darkness "There you are... what the hell's going on?" He asked confusion written all over his face.

The eyes remained silent... unblinking, and Yusuke began to feel slight dread "... Hiei...?" No answer. He took a few steps in and the eyes finally blinked but instead of the blank look they held anger and hostility. He jumped back as he felt the black blur come at him but not fast enough for when he looked down he saw and felt the sharp metal run through his chest piercing his heart.

He awoke with a scream gasping for air, he clutched at his chest and hysterically checked it for a wound. Sighing in utter relief, he laid back against the tree and closed his eyes. When he opened them, he almost ran seeing Hiei's ruby red eyes staring into his, only a few inches away. He relaxed when all he saw in the gaze was concern.

"What's wrong with you?" Hiei asked gruffly.

"... Just a really bad nightmare." He said taking another deep breath to calm himself. Hiei looked away when he caught himself staring at Yusuke's lips as they breathed in the soothing air.

"You okay now?" Hiei asked turning his head back to look into the detectives eyes just so he could make sure he wasn't lieing.

Yusuke held back a shiver as he felt the warm breath on his neck. "Yeah... I'll be just fine..." He mumbled looking away.

They both jumped when a small critter ran past, jumping onto Yusuke's head and messing up his hair slightly then ran up into the tree.

"What the hell was that...!" Yusuke nearly yelled feeling slightly panicked.

"I don't know probably a small demon animal..." Hiei informed him.

"Yeah, well it jumps on me again I'll blow its brains out! Bad enough I cant fix it and it looks all crappy... I don't need any animal prints or even more dirt in it." He told him huffily.

Hiei quirked a eyebrow "I think it looks fine."

"... Um... thanks..." Yusuke muttered fiddleing with his fingers.

"I'm going back to bed..." Hiei said and jumped back into his perch.

"Yeah... okay." Yusuke replied. He tried to fall back to sleep but to no avail 'Only one more night...tommorow I can go home.' He thought to himself, hoping it would go quickly and without any more happenings.

The night went by very slowly... Every second felt like hours, and Yusuke, much to his dispair, discovered he was not getting any more sleep that night. So the only thing left to do and the thing keeping him awake. He started to think about anything and everything.

First, he thought about school and how it might be faring with out him, then it drifted to Kayko, and how pissed she must be that he left her at the parking lot mall telling her he had a thing to do real quick and he would be back in a second. He flinched knowing he was gonna get slapped really hard for that one, then his thoughts drifted to the only subject he wanted to avoid... Hiei.

'Do I like Hiei... in a 'not so friendly way'...? Ugh I don't even have to ask' He thought, touching his lips.'But... he's a guy...well... I cant really help that I'm definantly attracted to him... so who cares about gender...' He thought taking it all in rather calmly. ( An-How would you act if you thought you were strait only to discover you have a crush on your classmate who is the same sex? O.o ... That's what I thought... back to the story... )

He opened his chestnut brown eyes, and started to really delve into the newest infraction threatening to change his life completely. 'Well... don't I like Kayko?' He asked himself staring up into the heavens and sighing. Turning to his side, he flinched and painfully turned on his back once more. "Great can't even sleep comforatably... stupid demon." He whispered to himself, placing a hand under his head he glared up at the sky. A few minutes went by untill he suddenly noticed something. A bird was flying in circles around their hideout. He sat up, suddenly feeling very uneasy about the bird, and watched it dart off in the direction of the castle. "The heck...?" Yusuke muttered standing up to wake up Hiei.
