Summary : Kurama can dance. What happens when Hiei finds out one night? Will he wish he didn't…or maybe it was a good thing? Yaoi, Karuma/Hiei
Burning Dance
Kurama was over the moon. It was summer vacation! The whole school had gone out to celebrate, but who wouldn't, that year had been one of the hardest. Kurabawa, Yusuke and himself had all gone out to the arcade to spend Yusuke's money; though it was actually him mums. They'd had a great time, and ran out of money quite quickly. Hiei however, had been in Makai, so he could not be there. Kurama had missed the fire demon greatly, but what was to be expected? He loved him dearly. He and Yusuke were currently walking home together; Kurabawa had already left, so it was just the two of them. Yusuke obviously noticed that Kurama wasn't as happy as he should be, and was determined to find out why. Kurama sighed, and Yusuke stopped walking. Kurama turned round and blinked at the black haired detective.
"What's wrong Yusuke?" He asked calmly.
"What's wrong with me? I should be asking you Kurama, you've been sighing for ages! Its summer holidays! Be happy." Kurama smiled brightly.
"I am what makes you think I'm not?" Yusuke pinned him to the wall.
"Kurama, spill. You maybe happy, but what's with the school girl attit-," Yusuke stopped and grinned, putting his hands on his hips. "I get it!"
"Get what?" Kurama said, getting worried. What was he going on about?
"You've got a crush." Kurama couldn't have gotten redder.
"W-W-what do you mean?" he squeaked. Yusuke thumped his chest triumphantly.
"I knew it! Come on Kurama! Who's the lucky girl? I know you want to tell me!" Kurama looked round, trying to find an escape rout.
"I don't like any girl!" Yusuke smirked evilly.
"So it's the lucky boy now is it?" Forget that, Kurama's face COULD get redder, and it did. He opened his mouth but no objections he had could come out. Yusuke's foolish grin got bigger. "Go on! Tell me! Or do I have to guess?" Kurama shut his mouth and scratched his face. "Well, let's think about it, does he go to your school?"
Kurama shook his head.
"Does he go to school?"
Kurama shook his head. He knew that the detective already knew, he just wanted to tease him.
"Do I know him?"
Kurama nodded.
"Does he have black hair?"
Kurama nodded, though he wanted to get out his whip and cut him into pieces.
"Does his name begin with H?"
"Yusuke…" Kurama started.
"We both know I know, just say it!" Kurama shook his head wildly. "Go on," Kurama stared at him. "Just a few words, I'll start you off, 'I like…'"
"I like…Hiei." Yusuke laughed.
"You can't even say it without going as red as your hair!" Kurama blushed harder.
"Yusuke! It's not funny!" Yusuke calmed down a bit.
"I suppose not," Kurama looked up. It was cute, he had to admit. Kurama and Hiei would look great together, and Hiei probably liked Kurama back. "What are you going to do about it?" Kurama jumped and looked at Yusuke like he was a mother freak.
"Are you crazy? Hiei would kill me if he found out that I like him! Besides…it's better this way." Kurama said looking down. Yusuke scoffed.
"Oh, sure, how is it better? To think about him twenty-four seven and dive us all crazy cause you're obviously in love, yet you do nothing about it!" Kurama blushed.
"We're not in love! I like him a small amount that's all!" He commented turning around.
"Oh yea, I believe you so much! I don't miss those glances you shoot at each other when you think no one's looking, guess what? I'm looking!" Kurama protested.
"I don't steel glances at Hiei!" Yusuke decided to carry on.
"Who said it was you steeling glance at him? What about him steeling glance at you, huh?" Kurama backed away slightly. Aw, isn't he cute when he blushes?
"H-Hiei doesn't like me that way!" Kurama stuttered, trying to compose himself. "End of story." And with that he started to walk away.
"I'll talk to you about this later you know fox!" Yusuke said, using Hiei's nickname for the redhead on purpose. Kurama turned his head and stuck his tongue out.
Oh yes Kurama, VERY mature! The emerald eyed beauty thought to himself. Slowly walking back to his house, he sighed again and walked through the door. "I'm home!" He called, knowing that his mother wasn't here. His mother and step-father had gone on holiday, all with him encouraging them, they needed a break. Taking his shoes off, he headed for his room to change out of his school clothes, these things were going in the back on the wardrobe for six whole weeks!

Muruko's eye twitched as Hiei sighed for the trillionth time. The little short fire demon was starting to get on her nerves. She slammed her fist on the table, almost making him fall out the window. He glared at her, and she was glaring back at him. He then swung his head back to the window and ignored her. She growled and put her hands on her hips.
"What on earth is wrong with you? You've been sitting there for hours acting like some love-sick ningen!" Hiei didn't ignore that comment.
"What did you call me?" He asked loudly jumping off the sill.
"A love-sick ningen! Cause that's what you're acting like!" He spat at the floor in front of him and glared at her, then turned back to the window, which he knew would annoy the hell out of her. She then stormed up to him. "What's wrong with you? I asked you a question!" He 'hn'ed and ignored her. "Fine! Be like that!" She said and went to sit back down. "But if I hear you sigh one more time I will twist your head off your body."
It only took about five minutes till he sighed again.
"Ok Hiei, tell me what's on your mind, right NOW." She threatened quietly. He looked at her, then the floor.
"Something." She rolled her eyes; at least she was getting SOMEwhere.
"What's this 'something'? Is it an object?" Hiei shook his head. "So it's a person?" Hiei stayed silent. She knew it! "Where does this person live?"
"In ningenkai (sp?)." Mukuro raised an eyebrow. Let's think, how many people would Hiei think are worth his time in the human world?
"Does it happen to be Kurama?" Hiei's head turned back to the window, along with his gaze. This time it was her turn to sigh. She knew that they were close, but she had no idea how close they were. She decided to find out how far. "How close are you both anyway?" She asked softly. Hiei shrugged.
"Friends." That was said so bluntly, there had to be more. She smirked quietly to herself.
"Really now?" Hiei looked at her out the corner of his eye. She shook her head. "Why don't you go over there? You're only bothering me; maybe you 'friend' could make you feel better." Hiei shook his head, she frowned. "That was an order, not a suggestion." Hiei stood and walked out the room silently, glaring at her as he went passed.
Zzz
Kurama sighed and turned his computer off, Yusuke was, once again, bugging him about Hiei. Asking if the demon was there, threatening to blackmail him, that kind of stuff. Kurama frowned; Hiei was normally here by now, just to sit on the window. Kurama shrugged and stood up; maybe he was busy with his work? He didn't know, so there was no point in being bothered.
Though he couldn't shake his worry.
Kurama turned on his music and let the songs sooth him. He needed to take his mind of the little youkai. One thing that absolutely no one knew about him; he could dance. But it wasn't something he could shout out loud, he danced like a girl. Starting off by swinging his hips to the beat, he walked over to his washing basket and threw his shirt into it. He got more and more into the song and soon lost himself in the rhythm. He was so out of it he didn't notice his window open…
Zzz
Hiei jumped through the trees and stopped at Kurama's window. He heard the faint beat of music inside and lifted the window. He looked round, the music was blasting out the player and there was the fox demon, dancing, not noticing his surroundings. Hiei crouched on the window sill, holding onto the side, his hand gripping the wood. His mouth would move slightly as Kurama moved with the music, he felt blood rushing down, not doing any good for him. He almost fainted as Kurama turned round, then opened his eyes slightly and stopped moving half way through a turn.
"H…Hiei!" Kurama exclaimed, the youkai yelped as his balance was lost and he fell back. Kurama rushed to the window, forgetting about the possibly most embarrassing thing that's ever happened, and focusing on the fire demon that was lying in the bush, eyes big and crossed, blinking slightly. His hair had twigs in it and his clothes were slightly scratched. "Hiei! Are you ok?" Kurama called down. Hiei blinked cutely again.
"Err…I think so." He said sitting up slowly.
"Hold on! I'll be there in a moment!" Kurama said, and then disappeared from view of the window. Hiei frowned at the tears in his clock, what would he say to Muruko? I got in a fight? He looked over his shoulder as he heard someone coming, the beauty still had no shirt on. As he picked Hiei up, the smaller boy blushed furiously.
"I can walk you know!" Hiei snarled, to the amusement of Kurama. Hiei looked away as a smile crossed the others face.
"Just making sure!" Hiei banged on his smooth chest before blushing again. Kurama raised an eyebrow. "Afraid your reputation will be ruined?" Hiei's cheeks puffed out.
"Let me down this instant you fool!" Kurama pouted.
"I'm a fool now am I? Aw! You hurt my feelings!" Hiei grumbled something along the lines of 'stupid fox' and looked away. Kurama shrugged and started to drop Hiei, who grabbed the boy's neck and let out a small shriek.
"What are you doing fox?" Kurama smiled.
"You wanted me to put you down, had a change of heart?" Hiei was thankful they were at the door to the bedroom. Until Kurama threw him onto the bed. "Take off your cloak, it's all torn, I'll need to fix it." Hiei did just that and put the item into a messy heap on the floor. Kurama turned back round and eyed Hiei's chest, said owner of said chest noticed and glared holes into Kurama's head.
"What? Problem?" Hiei asked. The redhead blushed and shook his head. Hiei adverted his eyes, but as soon as Kurama wasn't looking turned his attention back to the fox. MY fox. His eyes widened, where did THAT thought come from? Completely distracted, he didn't notice when Kurama turned around again and started to get worried.
"Hiei? What's wrong?" said demon looked up into the emerald depths for a few moments, before turning away. Hiei didn't answer, too lost in his own thoughts…
What's wrong with me? Why is Kurama having this affect on me? What the hell is wrong with me! Hiei watched Kurama walk closer to him, still swaying to the beat of the music. His heart quickened and sweat started to form on his pale skin. It's happening again! Stupid fox…stupid Muruko! She made me come here! Why did she think I wasn't here already baka-ohna
"Hiei…are you ok? You're acting weird," Hiei nodded and swallowed the lump in his throat, he was glad he wouldn't normally answer, because right now, he couldn't. Kurama pressed a hand to the thin neck, then to the side of his face, fingers slipping under the material. His eyes widened in shock. "Hiei! You're sweating! Maybe you should have a shower?"
"I'm fine baka!" Hiei managed, though you could tell his throat was dry.
"You sound like you've got a soar throat." Kurama then stopped and his own heart started beating. "What if…" Hiei looked up.
"What if what?" He jumped slightly as Kurama sat next to him, touching him, almost testing him. How much of this can I take? Hiei asked himself.
"Hiei, what do you consider me as?" Hiei gulped. He couldn't lie to his fox, anyone but his fox. He saw the glimpse of hope in the green pools.
"I…don't know?" That wasn't nessercerally lying. "A friend I guess," The hope was gone as soon as the word 'friend' left his mouth. Hiei started to look round, not sure of what to do. "Why? What about you?" Kurama looked away, though Hiei swore he saw some crystal tears forming.
"I just wanted to know because…" Kurama's voice was shaky; Hiei couldn't help but try sooth him. "I think that…I like you…a bit more than a friend I mean." Hiei stopped rubbing his back. His breathing seemed to not function, his heart rate went through the roof, and his head was beaded with sweat. Kurama stood and ran out the room, stifled sobs where heard, but Hiei just sat there, doing nothing.
"K…Kurama…"
