(If I Could Turn Back Time –Cher)
The first few weeks after were great for the two of them. Picnics, movies and dinners were abundant. When the two revealed their relationship to their friends and family (much to Hiei's dislike mind you) everyone was accepting and supportive. Happily ever after, indeed it seemed too good to be true. And that's exactly what it was…too good to be true.
(If
I could turn back time
If I could find a way I'd take back those
words that hurt you and you'd stay)
One night two months into their relationship, Kurama was in the kitchen preparing dinner for himself and his lover, humming to some random tune. Today was special. It was exactly two months ago that the two of them got together. Kurama couldn't help but be thankful for every day they spent together. So to celebrate he was making an extra special dinner. Hearing Hiei stumble down the stairs he walked into the living room, still holding a plate of food. "I'm going out. Be back later. Don't wait up!" Hiei said donning on his cloak and disappearing out the door. Kurama stared at the door, a dejected look on his face.
That night Kurama ate alone and sat there watching TV while waiting for Hiei to come home.
Kurama woke with a start as the front door slammed shut. Pulling himself from the couch he walked upstairs to find Hiei, fully clothed, asleep on the bed. Kurama was suspicious but dismissed it as a onetime thing and headed downstairs to face the days responsibilities.
(I
don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the
things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words
are like weapons they wound sometimes)
However it was not a onetime thing. Hiei's nightly disappearances occurred every night over the next few weeks. And as it went on Hiei became even less social than he had been before the relationship. Sleeping all day he hardly ate and it just seemed to get worse. Kurama began to suffer as well. The red head began to seep into a slight depression. It wasn't serious but it could affect him in the long run. Finally Kurama decided that it had to stop.
Three weeks after it had all started, Kurama stood in the shadows of living room waiting for Hiei. As Hiei made his way down the stairs Kurama stepped out in front of him. "I'm going out. I'll be back later." Hiei said attempting to pass. But Kurama was just as quick and once again to block his path. This continued for a few moments then…"What the hell are you doing!" Hiei yelled. "I'm trying to communicate with my boyfriend, if you don't mind!" said Kurama heatedly. "I don't have time for this now! If I don't go now I'm going to be late!" Hiei spat glaring at his so-called 'lover'. Kurama stared him down. "Late for what may I ask?" he said, accusation seeping into his voice. "I…uh…err…I…" Hiei stammered at a sudden loss for words. "Hiei…I need to know if this is going to work out." Said Kurama trying not to burst into tears. Hiei looked at him, shocked. Looking into Hiei's blood red eyes Kurama continued. "With the way you've been acting everything's been going downhill…and…and I need to know if you still love me…if there is still a chance for this…us…" Hiei stroked Kurama's cheek softly in a comforting way. "Of course there is. I-I'm sorry for the way I've been acting and I promise that everything's going to be different now. I-I love you Kurama." Hiei said nervously, still not quite used to that level of affection. Kurama's hand unconsciously reached up and took Hiei's hand. "I love you too." Said Kurama, unshed tears in his eyes. Grabbing Kurama by his shirt collar Hiei pulled him down into passionate kiss.
(I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby)
Kurama woke up late the next morning feeling happier than he had been in weeks. He bounded downstairs and found Hiei in the kitchen attempting to make pancakes. Kurama snuck up behind him and pounced. With a cry the two fell to the floor in a tangle of limbs. Kurama disentangled himself and crawled over so he was lying on Hiei's muscular chest. Hiei shook his head of confusion and looked up into Kurama's almost childlike face. "Hello Kurama. What can I get for you?" he asked with a small smile. Kurama mocked a look of indecision. "How about one of you." Said Kurama cheekily. "I think I can manage that." Said Hiei unhesitantly pulling Kurama into a make-out session.
After a few minutes the two disentangled and Kurama helped Hiei make them some breakfast.
Hiei and Kurama spent the whole day together just enjoying each others company.
(If
I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back
those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If
I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd
love me, love me
Like you used to do)
That night Kurama was cooking dinner and allowing Hiei a small nap. Kurama felt giddy just thinking about his fiery little lover. Putting the finishing touches on the delicious looking meal he went upstairs to fetch Hiei. Walking into their bedroom he was surprised to see that Hiei was not there. Kurama looked everywhere for him but he was nowhere to be found. It was then that Kurama noticed that Hiei's cloak and katana were gone. "He wouldn't…" he whispered. Going to the door he was hurt to find it unlocked. Tears welled up in his eyes. Going over and sitting on the couch he burst into tears.
(If I could turn back time)
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Yukina, Keiko and Botan waited outside the door. Yusuke knocked again but yet again there was no answer. Never the patient one Yusuke broke the door down and the group walked in. Looking around into the living room they found Kurama weeping on the couch. Yusuke hurried over and knelt in front of him. "Kurama are you okay? What's wrong?" He asked. Looking around he noticed Hiei was missing. "Where's Hiei?" Kurama pried his face from his hands and looked up at Yusuke, eyes red and a look of utter sadness on his face. "H-Hiei's gone!" he cried, bursting into tears again. Everyone gathered around him on the couch and on the floor. "What do mean 'he's gone'?" asked Yusuke. Kurama calmed down a bit and explained about the last few weeks.
(My
world was shattered I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife
and drove it deep in my heart
You walked out that door I swore
that I didn't care
But I lost everything darling then and there)
Meanwhile in the Spirit world Koenma was in his office stamping requests. The door opened loudly and Koenma looked up. "Ahh. I'm glad you could make it Hiei." Hiei walked in and glared at the toddler. "Whatever this is it had better be both quick and important." He said icily. "Oh it should only take a few minutes." Said Koenma though he couldn't help a shiver run down his spine at what Hiei had said. 'Hiei's gonna kill me.' He thought.
(Too
strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and ooh...)
"Oh my!" gasped Keiko after Kurama had finished his tale. "Do you know where he's been going?" asked Botan. Kurama shook his head. "I have no idea where he's going or who he's with." Kurama said, tearing up again. Kuwabara leant down and patted his friends back in a comforting way. "I'm sure he has a good reason." He said. 'He'd better…' he thought angrily. "Yeah I'm sure he's been organising some big surprise for you!" agreed Yusuke, a stupid smile on his face. Kurama smiled at Yusuke and Yusuke just laughed. Kuwabara though was through Yusuke's act. He knew that Yusuke was only saying that to cheer up their friend and that he really had more sinister ideas of Hiei's whereabouts. 'You don't know what you do to him…' Kuwabara thought.
(If
I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
If I could
turn back time
ooh baby
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I
didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry)
Hiei gasped in pain as the claws dug into his arm. The creature pulled it's claws out and Hiei jumped out of range. He stood there panting slightly. His opponent jumped at him and Hiei dodged. 'This has already gone on long enough. I have to end it as soon as possible and finish this mission…Kurama's counting on me…'
(If
I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back
those words that hurt you
If I could reach the stars
I'd give
them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to
do)
Two days passed and Hiei had yet to return. Yusuke and Kuwabara had stayed with their heartbroken friend, cheering him up and all in all trying to keep him as positive as possible. They both knew if Kurama started to get too negative he would slip into depression. Suddenly the doorbell rang. 'Must be Keiko and the girls.' Yusuke thought. "Could you get that Kurama." He yelled out. His only response was the sound of Kurama getting up and shuffling towards the door. Hearing the door open Yusuke walked in but stopped in his tracks when he saw Kurama staring at a slightly roughed up but otherwise fine Hiei. "Hey what's going on? Are the girls here yet?" asked Kuwabara coming up behind him. In one swift move Yusuke had moved both Kuwabara and himself back around the corner and was holding him in place. "What the!" Kuwabara started but Yusuke quickly shut him up. "Shhh!" he whispered peering around the corner. Kuwabara followed suite and his eyes widened when he saw Hiei and Kurama locked in a staring contest. "Oh…" he whispered. "Maybe we go and make some lunch. You know, give the lovebirds some privacy." Said Yusuke. Kuwabara nodded and the two slipped away.
Kurama could do nothing but stare at Hiei, the man who had broken his trust and his heart. Kurama noticed Hiei injured arm and ripped clothes. Hiei himself could not help but be shocked at Kurama's own appearance. Kurama's eyes were red and bloodshot with large bags under them, his hair was greasy and messed up and he was wearing the same clothes he had been wearing the day he had left. Hiei stood there and waited for his welcome home hug but instead there was a loud 'SMACK' and suddenly his whole left cheek was burning with pain. Hiei stared at Kurama shocked. "What the-" he started but was interrupted as another slap mark appeared on the other side of his face. Once again Hiei made to speak but was interrupted by Kurama. "HOW DARE YOU! YOU PROMISED ME THINGS WERE GOING TO CHANGE AND THEN YOU UP AND DISAPPEAR FOR THREE DAYS!" Kurama yelled. "But Kurama I can explain!" Hiei began. "WHAT YOU THNK YOU COME BACK AND EVERYTHING JUST BE FINE AND DANDY! HIEI-" Kurama halted and took a deep breath, resuming a quieter voice. "Hiei I can't deal with this anymore. The stress, the worry, the deceit. I-I'm sorry…It's over." Hiei stared at him in horror. "I'm sorry." Kurama said looking at him sadly. Hiei shook his head in disbelief and for the first time since Kurama had known him he saw tears gather in Hiei's beautiful ruby eyes. Those eyes that were normally so emotionless, so cold, for the first time they showed so much. Hurt, love, they were like a window that showed all Hiei was and ever would be. Kurama reached out a hand to wipe the tears Hiei backed away as if it was going to hurt him more. As tears started pouring down his face he turned and ran away leaving nothing but a few crimson tear gems.
Kurama fell to his knees, shaking with grief. Yusuke and Kuwabara came up beside him eating sandwiches and both rested a comforting hand on his shoulders.
(If
I could turn back time (turn back time)
If I could find a way
(find a way)
Then baby, maybe, maybe
You'd stay)
Hiei ran neither knowing or caring where his feet were taking him. Tears fell down his face and left a trail of tear gems behind him. 'I should have never let him get so close. I more than anyone should know what happens when you allow yourself to care and trust someone. But I did it anyway. I loved him…'
"I noticed it when I first got back
You were haggard and bleary-eyed
You looked like you had cried a river
And you hadn't slept all night.
Well I didn't know just what I did
No I hadn't known what I'd done
And when you tossed me out like it was all the same
Well I just couldn't figure it out.
But my love for you still carries on
Even though you're gone
Well I know that it's all over between us
Yes I know I've crossed the line
But baby I can't help but wonder...
Does your love carry on?
(carry on, carry on)
Does your love carry on?
(carry on, carry on)
Does your love carry on?"
