Chapter Two
"So, what about tomorrow night?" Kuwabara asked, glancing over at Yusuke. The spiri detetive shrugged as he continued to stare off into space. "C'mon Urameshi! If you apologize, I'm sure Keiko will take you back."
"Why should I apologize, I didn't do anything wrong," Yusuke retorted. He sighed as he stood up. "Keiko really was angry, wasn't she?" 'I don't even remember why she was yelling at me...most likely about being a spirit detective...'
"Hai...I think even Hiei would have been backing away," Kuwabara commented.
"If he was here..."
"What are you thinking, Urameshi?"
"Just...what if...we got him and Kurama together...I mean, Kurama's really been depressed lately and I'm sure it's because of soemthing having to do with Hiei," Yusuke replied. "And I've heard a rumor that Hiei hasn't been acting...normal...either."
"What do you mean?"
"Sounds like Hiei's gotten even more bloodthirsty...I think Murkro's starting to worry about him..."
"I wonder what happened between them," Kuwabara said.
"I asked Kurama, but he wouldn't tell me," Yusuke replied. "Maybe you could have Yukina talk to him..."
"I'll ask her, she's been worried about both of them too..." Kuwabara stated, sighing. 'What is it about Hiei that makes Yukina care about him so much?' Kuwabara thought. "Urameshi, why is it Hiei's always protecting Yukina?" 'When she was tortured for her tears...Hiei came...why would he...unless...no, he couldn't...love Yukina...could he? What about Kurama?'
"I...I can't tell you, I value my life too much..."
"Nani?!" Kuwabara glanced over at him, praying that the reason he thought of wasn't true.
" ...he made us promise never to tell...and if we do, Hiei will kill us..." Yusuke replied, using all of his will power to not tell Kuwabara about Hiei being Yukina's sibling.
"Urameshi..." Kuwabara said threateningly, glaring at Yusuke. "Is...is it because he...*sniffle*..." Kuwabara broke down crying, unable to finish his question.
"Oh, come on! You're twenty-four, don't cry!"
"Yukina will never love me...will she?" Kuwabara asked, sniffling and wiping his eyes.
"NANI!?!? What ARE you talking about?! Of course she loves you!' Yusuke exclaimed, hitting the orange-haired nigen in the heat.
"But...Hiei loves her..."
"Well...yeah, all of us do!" Yusuke pointed out. 'He took that whole "Hiei's secret" thing the wrong way...' "Look...if I was to tell you, would you stop crying like a baby...and promise NEVER to tell anyone you know?" Yusuke let out a sigh, noticing that the people in the busy streets were looking at them strangely.
"HAI!"
"Baka," Yusuke mumbled uner his breath as Kuwabara instantly stopped crying. "Okay, Hiei is Yukina's brother, happy?"
Kuwabara's mouth dropped open as he stared at Yusuke, trying to figure out if the detective was lying or not. "B...brother?!" 'But hy wouldn't he tell Yukina? She's been searching for her brother for years...' "Why didn't he tell Yukina?"
"He said she'd be happier not knowing..." Yusuke replied. "Kuwabara, you can't tell...or even hint to Yukina...I'd rather not die by Hiei's hand."
"Now that I know Hiei's her brother, I can ask him for his permission to marry Yukina..." Kuwabara said, obviously not listening to Yusuke as he continued his daydreaming. He laughed slightly as he began to skip down teh sidewalk, humming songs to himself.
"You told Kuwabara?!" Koenma's binky slipped out of his mouth and fell to the floor as he, along with Botan and Kurama, stared at Yusuke.
"I had to! He was getting this idea that Hiei and Yukina were lovers!" Yusuke retorted.
"So you told him!!! Hiei will certainly kill you now!" Koenma pointed out, crawling across the floor in search of his pacifier.
"Well...Kuwabara promised he wouldn't tell Yukina..." Yusuke commented kicking Koenma's binky ou tof the toddler's reach.
"And you believed him?" Botan asked, picking up the blue ball and handing it to Koenma.
"Hai...anyways, Yukina deserves to know...better for her to learn now then if something...happened to Hiei..." Yusuke replied, stretching his arms over his head.
"We all agree that Yukina should know, but Hiei should be the one to tell her," Koenma said, voiolently sucking on his pacifier.
"What do you think, Kurama?" Botan asked, glancing glancing over the silent red-head.
"I agree with both Yusuke and Koenma, I'd rather have Hiei hate me than the guilt knowing that Yukina never knew who her brother was before he...died..."
'Poor Kurama...Hiei mst have said something horrible to make Kurma act like this...' Bothan thought, feeling sorry for the youko. 'I should go to the Makai and give Hiei a piece of my mind...' Botan growled inwardly, wanting to know why Hiei would hurt Kurama.
"So, back to the topic I brought you two here for...as you already know, tonight is my father's party...and the Reikai Tantai team and Yukina have been invited..."
"Then why isn't Kuwabara here?" Yusuke asked curiously, glancing over at the toddler.
"Well...the Makai lords are coming...and a great deal of other youkai...and many of them would be offended by the presence of a human...even without knowing Kuwabara discovered Hiei and Yukina were siblings, I decided against letting him come."
"I say let them be offended! And Kuwabara wouldn't bring up the whole Hiei and Yukina thing tonight..." Yusuke stated. 'The Makai lords...great...that means Hiei'll be there...I can knock some sense into that three-eyed bastard...' Yusuke thought to himself.
"Yeah," Botan agreed, glancing over at Kurama momentarily. 'Maybe Kurama shouldn't come...'
"Alright, he can come...but I'm begging you not to start any fights..." Koenma knelt down on his knees and held onto Yusuke's legs. "My father will kill me if his party is ruined..."
"Okay, okay, I won't do anything..." Yusuke said as the deity let go of his pantlegs.
"KOENMA-SAMA!!!!!" a voice cried as a group of ogres raced into the toddler's office.
"Koenma-sama, your father's party is about to begin!" the blue ogre stated.
"NANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why didn't you tell me earlier, Ogre?!" Koenma asked as he raced around the room and out the door before anyone could answer him.
"I guess that means we should get the party started..." Yusuke said, itching at the deep green kimono he was being forced to wear.
"Yusuke!" Botan sighed as she watched the spirit detective race out of the room, knocking a few ogres over. "Shall we go then, Kurama?"
The red-head smiled slightly as he and Botan followed the path of fallen ogres towards the party.
'Kami-sama...he's so beautiful,' I thought to myself as I stared at the youkai across the room. Instead of the black cloak I'd grown accustomed to see him wearing, he wore deep red, the same shade as his gorgeous eyes. He still wore black pants, but unlike the normal baggy ones I've seen him wear, these were tight, like a second skin, showing off his muscular lower body. The shirt, just tight enough to remain on his body, was draping off one shoulder, revealing part of his god-like upper body.
He was currently lounging in a chair, one leg draped over the arm and the other foot was tapping impatiently on the floor. 'He doesn't seem to realize how sexy he is...' I thought, staring at his bored face, knowing that if I looked any other part of his body, I'd have to make a quick exit.
I took another sip of the reddish wine from my goblet. Even though I had drunk enough glasses of the alcohol to kill a human, I had only begun to feel the effects.
"Stop drinking and join the party!" Yusuke stated as he pulled me out of my comfortable chair and into the mass of bodies.
"Yusuke," I growled quietly, wanting to leave the, obviously, drunken detective, but the grip he had on my wrist was too tight.
"Okay, Kurama...tell me what the hell's up with you..." Yusuke demanded once he and I were out of most peoples' earshot.
"What do you mean?" I asked politely, pulling my wrist back to my side as soon as he let go.
"I mean, you and Hiei...what did he do?" Yusuke questioned. "And if you don't tell me, I'll get Hiei to..."
"Don't threaten me..." I growled, narrowing my eyes slightly. The detective backed up a little, noticing the change in my voice.
"I wasn't..." Yusuke replied. "Kurma...we all are really worried about you...I...I just wanted to help..."
"I know..." I sighed, my voice softening. "He rejected me..."
"Huh?" was Yusuke's response.
"I...I told him my feelings...and he rejected me..." I replied, forcing myself not to relive the night I had almost raped Hiei.
"Gomen...I didn't think Hiei would've..." Yusuke said quietly. "I...thought you two had a fight or something...not that Hiei rejected you...are you sure you didn't misunderstand something he said?"
"No...I understood perfectly..." I answered. 'He pushed me away and left...there is no way I could misunderstand that...'
"I'm going to talk to Hiei..." Yusuke stated. He began to walk away, but I stopped him.
"You...can't! It is my problem, not yours!" I pointed out.
"It involves my friends, it's automatically my problem," Yusuke replied, pulling his arm out of my grasp and continued walking in Hiei's direction.
"Hiei, stop sitting around...socialize a bit..." Murkro stated, glaring at the Koorime.
"Hn."
"If you say that one more time..." Murkro growled, knowing the fire demon wouldn't move from his seat until the end of the party, when he was allowed to leave.
"Hn."
"You're impossible..." Murkro stated, sighing as she walked away from the Koorime. She saw the spirit detective, Yusuke Urameshi, walk up to the youkai as soon as she left.
"Hiei..haven't seen you in a while..." Yusuke said, looking down at the bored heir.
"What do you want?"
"I wanted to talk to you about Kurama," Yusuke replied, noticing a flicker of emotion in Hiei's eyes when he mentioned the kitsune's name. "So, what exactly happened between you two?"
"Nothing."
"Oh, then why has Kurama been sulking for months?" Yusuke asked curiously, sitting down in a nearby chair.
"How should I know?" Hiei retorted, still staring into space.
"Why did you reject him?" Yusuke asked, glaring at Hiei.
'Reject...I...I didn't reject him...' "It is none of your business..."
"You broke one of my best friends' hearts...it is my business!" Yusuke replied, raising his voice.
'Broke...his heart?' "Hn."
"Yeah, well...'hn' doesn't answer my question, Hiei. I thought you cared about Kurama..." Yusuke retorted. He stared at Hiei and saw the youkai's eyes widen slightly. "And Hiei...Kuwabara found out who Yukina's brother is...so I suggest you start to think of something to say to Yukina.
Yusuke turne to leave, but stopped moving when he felt Hiei's energy rise quickly. He felt a burst of heat fly past his hear, then watched as a great portion of beings in front of him begin to burn.
"Next time, detective...I won't miss..."
"Next time, Hiei, may come sooner than you expected," Yusuke replied. He spun around as he clenched his fist, then puched the chair, but the small youkai was already gone.
"Hn."
"DON'T 'HN' ME HIEI!!!" Yusuke exclaimed as he saw teh demon out of the corner of his eye. "REI-GUN!!"
Hiei dodged the blast and watched as the wall he was in front of crumbled. He unsheathed his katana and raced towards Yusuke. By the look on Yusuke's face, Hiei could tell he had surprised him.
"Stop it, Hiei!" a voice called out as Hiei's sword began to slice though Yusuke's abdomen. He dislodged the blade and stepped back when he heard the voice. Yusuke dropped to the floor, clutching his bleeding side as Yukina and Kuwabara raced over. The ice apparition kenlt down next to Yusuke and placed her hands on his side, healing the supposedly fatal wound.
"Hiei, you bastard, what the hell's wrong with you!?" Kuwabara asked, stepping between Hiei and Yusuke, who was already starting to get up.
"Why would you hurt Yusuke, Hiei?" Yukina asked, tears falling down her face and solidifying before they hit the ground. Hiei lowered his gaze, unable to look at his crying sister. He looked around the room and saw the urned bodies, the crumbling wall, the floor stained in Yusuke's blood, the fearful expressions on almost everyone's face, especially Koenma's, and the red-head standing still, unfazed by the destruction around him.
Hiei left the room as quickly as he could adn didn't stop until he felt a hand clamp don on his shoulder. He could read teh ki, which made him want to run even faster.
"Don't keep running Hiei."
'Kurama...' "Gomen."
"What are you apologizing for?" Kurama asked, moving closer to Hiei as he wrapped his arms around Hiei's chest. "I'm so sorry...I...I didn't mean to scare you..."
"Let go Kurama..." Hiei replied, turning around in Kurama's arms, forcing himself not to show the fear he felt.
"Why would I do that?" Kurama questioned as Hiei looked into his green eyes which were beginning to turn gold.
Authoress: O.O
Hiei and Kurama: *not here*
Authoress: woah...that sucks, doesn't it, Hiei...
Yusuke: O.o...dude...if I'm thinking what I'm thinking...*backs away from authoress*
Authoress: I SAID this would be partially one sided...poor, innocent Hiei...DAMN YOU YOUKO KURAMA!!!! And this time, I need at least...fifteen reviews to get my lazy ass in motion...kay?
Kurama: you knew you shouldn't threaten others...
Authoress: I said I'd take him in a dark alley and kill 'im...it's not that bad...and it was meant as a joke, I SWEAR!!!...bitchy teacher who hates me with a passion normally reserved for love thought I'd actually murder my boyfriend...*sniffle* I'm so misunderstood...
