Kurama lay next to Kyo, listening to her soft, slow breathing. Tonight had been destiny. He finally saw his ex-lover, after all these years. He wasn't happy, though, he didn't feel satisfied. All that happened was he found out that his prediction about Mukuro was true, Hiei did love her and it was too late for Kurama.
'Oh well, at least I have Kyo,' he said to himself and wrapped his arms around the fragile ningen, burrowing his face into her soft, black hair. She smelled just like roses, such a sweet fragrance to his nose. Her eyes were such a pretty blue and she had the perfect body. Her stomach was skinny and flat, her breasts were perky and just the right shape and she didn't have an ounce of fat on her body. She was absolutely perfect.
Kyo was nothing. She wasn't anything like Hiei. Her outside was the exact same as her inside: soft. While Hiei was tough on the outside, showing everyone he could do anything he wanted. With Kurama, he was the complete opposite. Hiei was a demon, Kyo was a ningen. The love she had for him was for Shuuichi, not Kurama. Kyo loved the ningen him, she didn't know the other part. He couldn't love her even as close as he loved Hiei.
I waited for you,
I died inside my own head,
and I'd die again for you.
Hiei sat under the street lamp, staring out at the ocean. He could still see Kurama's outline bent over the rail. Kurama's ki was still lingering there, Hiei could sense it. Did Kurama really love him back? Is that why he left part of him with Hiei? Or was he just sensing things? It didn't matter, he liked the feeling of Kurama's ki. It was warm and beautiful, like Kurama. Hiei sighed deeply and stood up.
He began to walk, the rain pouring down on him. His shoes were sopping wet, but he didn't care. Then, right in the middle of the floor lay Kurama's red rose. Hiei bent down and picked it up. Did Kurama loose it? No, that was impossible. Kurama would never loose it unless it was on purpose.
Hiei clutched the rose to his heart. Maybe Kurama was showing him a sign. Maybe there was still hope that he loved him! Hiei quickly ran, following Kurama's ki. He ran faster than he had earlier that night. Then, he found himself in front of an apartment building.
"So much for his dream," Hiei snickered and began to go up the steps, Kurama's ki becoming stronger and stronger. The next thing he knew, he was outside Kurama's apartment. He put his fingers around his neckless chain and slowly took it off. In Demon World, Hiei had finally found it lying in a mud puddle. It wasn't as shiny as it was, but it was still his. Hiei smiled at it and pushed it through the crack.
So kill me with the love that you won't give to me,
and pack the wound with salt I want to feel it bleed.
Kurama sat up. He was sure someone was outside their front door. It was a demon, but not just any demon. Kurama threw his feet off the bed, put on his slippers and ran to the door in his boxers. He flew the door open to see a figure jumping away in the distance. 'Hiei!' Kurama gaped at the shadow. Oh how badly he wanted to call out his name, but he would wake everyone up. He turned and was about to go back to bed when he felt something under his foot.
Kurama lifted his foot and there was Hiei's most prized possession, his mother's tear gem. He must've gotten Kurama's rose. A sigh escaped Kurama's throat as he picked up the gem. Was this a sign? Did Hiei love him? Kurama shook his head and placed the gem around his neck. Why would he? He loved Mukuro.
But the gem...
I wish you were near me,
could feel it when you hear me say,
I'd die again for you.
Hiei knew that Kurama opened the door and he was glad he put it in quick enough. Another run in with Kurama was all Hiei needed before he snapped in half. His whole body was aching, his mind was aching, his heart was aching. His heart. It was in so much pain, Hiei wanted to die.
His heart once belonged to Kurama, a long time ago. And Kurama's belonged to him. Hiei took off his cloak and glanced on his chest where Kurama left his mark, a small rose. He had bitten and sucked for a long time on Hiei's chest until it came out perfectly and stayed permanently. Hiei had done the same, except on Kurama's hip and it was a dragon. Looking at this mark only brought him more pain.
He loved Kurama, he adored Kurama. He needed to be with Kurama. But fate tore them apart and he had to play along with it. There was nothing he could do.
So kill me with the love that you won't give to me,
And pack the wound with salt I want to feel it bleed.
You wanted me to crawl so now I'm on my knees.
