Sorry the last chapter was so short but I thought it would be a awesome cliffhanger! Anyway let's get on with this chapter
Chapter 2: The look of death
Kurama's P.O.V
I awoke the next morning my head set down words. It took me a moment o remember what I had done last night but then when it came back to me I almost shrieked.
I had gone threw with it yes but at the last moment I suppose I turned against my decision and chose life over death for some reason.
Looking at my arm now I found I had cut it in the middle of my arm instead of at the wrist for once I was glad I had my Yoko speed.
It was useless to try I had already lost a lot of blood over the coarse of the night even so I put my other hand over my arm and started to heal it like any other wound.
It didn't work and I suppose I knew all along it wouldn't. I still had a scar from the deep cut I had made and the skin around it was slightly darker from loss of blood.
The color would go down in a few days time I thought but the scar would be with me forever more.
I got up and cleaned up the glass and blood that had been spilt the night before.
When it was all finished I got dressed in my usual school uniform. I knew it was a Friday and it was expected of me that I go to school but with all that had been done in such short of time I guess I was still in some sort of shock from it all.
I would just play a Yusuke and skip school thinking about it further I decided I would go and talk to Hiei about all of this he was the only person I knew that he would half way understand.
I didn't bother to say anything to my mother I couldn't even look at her anymore it just hurt too much.
The crisp morning air felt good even though the sky said it would be a fierce storm. I walked down the sidewalk sensing everywhere for any sign of Hiei's energy.
About an hour later I found it and followed it to the park.
Why he was there was beyond my understanding but none-the-less I found him sitting on the top of a tree staring up into the gray almost black clouds.
"Hiei." I called up. He didn't even say anything to me just kept staring unblinking.
"Hiei please come down." I asked. And again he did nothing. I wouldn't get upset at least not right now.
"Hiei come down I have something important to talk to you about." This time he looked at me but his head still pointed towards the clouds.
"What is so important that you're disturbing me from my only vision of home?" I didn't understand what he was talking about but I would ask about that later.
"Well I can't tell you when you're up there."
"Why not?"
"It involves- It's important Hiei please." He was never this stubborn maybe he sensed my uneasiness and decided he would mess with my mind.
Reluctantly though he jumped off and appeared in front of me. "What do you want fox? Shouldn't you be in that ningen school?" He asked folding his arms behind him.
"I had to speak with you I couldn't go to school today."
"Well what's so important that you can't go to Yusuke or the fool for?" He started to walk to a clear spot where he sat down and once again started up into the dark sky.
"You're the only one who would understand."
"Are you going to tell me or are you going to be even more hard to understand?"
I sat down beside him thing's couldn't get any worse then they already were I mean I was going to get help Hiei had tried Suicide only a few months before and I was the one who had helped him out of it.
Now I was in his state I could only hope he would do the same for me.
"Hiei what do you do when you want both life and death." This got his attention he looked at me like he was trying to read me clearly but I hid it to well he had to answer.
"You pick what you want more to live on with whatever it is that is terrorizing you or you pick death were your soul is condemned in one way or another." He had a way of explaining things.
"Do you remember when you tried… to end it three months ago?" I hadn't realized how hard it would be to just tell him.
"Yes it took two months just to get me out of that state and event o this day I'm not fully out of it. Why?
"What would you say if… I became that way?"
"I don't know why?" The way he spoke I could tell he had know clue what I was talking about but he wanted to know. I didn't blame him I didn't seem the type to become that way.
"Well I… have become suicidal." I closed my eyes and feared his response but nothing came.
Opening my eyes I looked at him. His mouth was slightly gaped and he looked at me looking for any sign to say I was lying.
"You're lying."
"I'm not." I drew back the arm to my shirt to reveal the scar and the dark portion of skin.
He looked it over once or twice then looked back at me his look like he was going to kill me.
In one fluid movement he slapped me hard across the face. I stayed pointing away from him for a moment then looked back not even bothering to touch the now stinging sensation on my cheek.
"Even though you failed to even hit the wrist why would you Kurama?" Hiei asked sternly.
"I couldn't stand to hear their screams any longer. I couldn't stand lying to my mother anymore."
"I wanted to but I guess at the last moment I decided against it that's why I hit the wrong spot."
Normal P.O.V
Hiei just starred at him. This would get bad he knew it would even if the fox's reason's didn't quite make sense to him.
When the fox set his mind to something he always somehow went threw with it but now Hiei had to somehow get him back to being normal again.
"What screams fox?" Hiei regained his composer and listened closely to Kurama for any information he could go on.
"It's hard to explain they're memories of people I've killed. They're screams before they died." He closed his eyes at the thought.
"I know them well. I used to do it for my own pleasure I would to if I could get back to the Makai." Hiei explained looking up.
Kurama looked over at him and tried to figure out why he kept looking at the gray sky so much… and so longingly.
"One of the other reasons why I came to you. I thought you would know how to deal with this situation."
"I don't. But I'm willing to say I tried if I fail. I'll help you."
"Can I ask you something though?"
"Hn." Kurama took that as a yes.
"Why do you stare at the sky like that? I mean you didn't even hear me when I called to you twice." Kurama explained as Hiei looked him over probably still in a bit of shock from the newly found information.
"It is a way of letting me go back home. Do you remember the Makai storms? They looked a lot like this I wouldn't be surprised if a portal had been opened somehow and one got loss here. I used to be the fool who chased them"
Kurama did remember they were deadly storms that would strike anything high and low.
(If you don't understand that look in a science book lightning hits the tallest thing in the area or so I hear.)
It wasn't very hard to believe that Hiei would go and chase them.
"Alright I will help you with your problem… only because you helped me." He looked away like the words hurt but even so Kurama was glad to have his help.
