Hey everyone, sorry it took me so long to update this story, but I have lost any ideas for this story! SO LIKE ALWAYS: ideas and suggestions WILL be used and you WILL be credited entirely for the idea AND the chapter I made on it!

Thanks to all my reviewers, I honestly don't know what I would do without your supporting of my writing!

Chapter 14: Thoughts

Hiei's P.O.V

The night came slowly and I had realized by now for the thousandth time that I was a complete mess of pieces and emotions, unable to be put back together.

Silent tears I wanted to shed for my mistakes and because of all the pain I have caused to the people forced to be around me. Yet tears would not come, and no sign of pain or weakness was emitted from me.

Pain in my head grew the more I thought about it, sending throbbing waves of pain threw my head. (AKA a migraine.)

"What are you still doing up?" Came Kurama's calm voice from behind me. My eyes snapped open to the nights silent yet calming darkness.

"Couldn't sleep." I admitted, still staying pointing away from my fox.

"Thinking about things?" He asked sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Hai." I said my voice barely audible.

"About what?" Kurama asked, tracing a loose hand up and down y hot arm.

The sudden touch of my Koi made me shudder a bit, but I soon collected myself. "Nothing." I lied, then realizing how foolish that sounded. Kurama was smarter then that and surly now he knew I was hiding something.

"How can you be thinking about nothing when you just said you were thinking about something?" It took me a moment to register this and think of an answer.

"Hn." 'Wow smart Hiei, what a great answer.' I scolded myself. "I don't want to say." I corrected, knowing Kurama was not one to pry. Surly he would let it go now.

"Why?" I could feel time almost start slowing down as my breathing started to get heavier and my concentration was focused on the fox's fingers lightly trailing up my bare arm. (He still has his cloak off.)

Was this going to my breaking point? Would I finally snap and spill my thoughts to him or keep myself whole and risk breaking later on?

"You are having problems dealing with things." His gentle pace on my arm stopped suddenly.

"It would be wrong for me to bring my problems in." I explained, choosing my words carefully.

"Koi." His voice was soft, calm and understanding, yet the slightest bit of concern in it to. He gently took my shoulder and turned me so I was facing straight at him.

"If either of us is having problems, we will deal with them together. Okay?" He asked as a smile came on his face.

His words were understanding to me or to anyone, but I still wondered, why did he love me so? I am a forbidden, cursed to death by all, and to never be loved. So why now, why did he care so much about me?

I sat myself up, continuing to stare into his almost crystallized emerald eyes. "So, are you going to tell me what's on your mind?" He asked as I sighed silently.

Sure it seemed soberness had gotten the best of me, but I couldn't imagine looking into his face after admitting what I thought. "No not now." I said as he looked down as if in thought then back at me.

"That's fine, I won't pry into you." He said, leaning closer to me and capturing me in a passionate kiss; which I instantly deepened.

After a moment of savoring each other, much to my hatred, a wave of throbbing pain shot threw my head and before I could catch myself, I drew back touching my temples instinctively.

"I'm sorry." Kurama said as I let out my breath, let my hand fall, and looked at him to find a completely apologetic look on him.

"It wasn't you, I've never felt this pain before." I tried to reassure, but it didn't seem to do much to solve the problem. "When I have healed a bit more then we shall pick up where we left off."

A small smile crept upon his features now as he laid down fully. When I failed to follow suit, he looked up at me. "Hiei?"

"No, I want-."

"Hiei." By the look in his eye and the one on his face, I knew that was an order. And who was I to deny him now, so I sank down further into the warm sheets.

Without warning, I found myself clinging onto Kurama's shirt as if it were my life line and getting as close as possible to his chest. I didn't move away when he showed no signs that he minded, so I took it as my opportunity.

He wrapped his arm around me finally, stroking my back lightly. I had to admit, I loved his gentle touch upon my skin and I would die a thousand deaths before I pushed that away.

Kurama's P.O.V

(Sorry, I have to skip it back in time a bit, but I want to show what Kurama thought of Hiei's actions and such.)

Once Hiei was laying beside me, I shut my eyes with all intention of drifting off to sleep, but he grabbed onto my shirt and moved closer into my chest.

I looked down at my little fire demon's form and found right then that he, for maybe the first time in his life, looked completely helpless.

I couldn't help, but wrap my arm around him and gently rub his back. I knew he liked the gentle touch by the slight shudder he gave at the first contact.

But it seemed as though, even if he didn't want to admit it, he wanted the feeling of comfort and reassurance for some reason and I could never deny that from him.

"I love you, Hiei." I said gently to him as he stayed in his same position.

"I love you too, Kurama." He said in a very light voice as if sleep was taking him for the night.

I breathed deeply as I felt his own breathing even out and felt the pressure of him leaning so close to me. I liked this feeling, and I could only wish and hope for more nights exactly like this, if not better.

I knew something was troubling my little fire demon, he showed it clearly without knowing it. I knew it was something important too, but I could not place exactly what. I honestly felt oddly about it all.
