OK. I finally got chapter 5 done. I know, I'm a little late...but one of my teacher's got sick and canceled class today, so I took the chance to update. lol. Have fun and enjoy! And thanks again for reading!

OoOoOoOoO

'I hope I'm not too late!' I thought. I was running as fast as I possibly could, but didn't put on the brakes soon enough. No worries though. The door helped me stop...making a loud noise. Well, that would stall them, right? I shook it off and this time, opened the door before rushing in. "WAIT!" I screamed as if I was too late. I had never in my life received or wanted so much undivided attention. I stood there helplessly for a moment looking at every pair of eyes in the room (with exception of my own) staring right at me. 'Ignore them!' Yoko screamed. He had become my coach and cheerleader when he realized I was really going to go through with this. 'Focus!' He growled. I did just that.

I looked Hiei in the eyes, which seemed to light up at my appearance. 'Look! He's happy to see his hero!' Yoko chirped. My eyes were still gifting the ground below me with tears here and there, which only added to their apparent confusion. They were swollen, I had trouble breathing. "Kurama!" Yusuke yelled. The preacher nodded and said "Welcome. I'm glad you could make it." and motioned for me to take my rightful place that Yusuke had kindly taken up. I regained my composure.

Hiei looked giddy inside. However, I'm sure he'll be angry with me for a while...to my dismay but if that's what it takes. "No." I refused. Hiei's expression changed from giddy to confused, as well as everyone else's. Even the people that didn't know me gave me odd looks. So I did as Yoko had told me and erased them from my sight. Hiei was the only one I could see, and that's what I wanted. I would talk to him and ignore everyone else. "I'm speaking now. I object to this marriage." It's amazing how many gasps came out of Hiei's single mouth movement. 'Baka! Block their words too! Not just their image!' Yoko growled. Oh, yeah...guests...'Listen to the man in robes. What's he saying?' I focused on the preacher, who magically appeared behind Hiei. "What is your statement and reasoning?" he asked. I looked back at Hiei, who's mouth was gaping.

"Because..." 'Tell them why! Hiei doesn't belong with this bitch! He belongs to us! Tell them why HUMAN!' Yoko encouraged. It in truth helped my esteem greatly. However, I didn't want Hiei to HATE me. I wanted to be as discrete as possible, so I blocked him out too so I wouldn't repeat his harsh words. Looks like I'm on my own."...Yessss?" the preacher prodded. "Because... he doesn't... love...her. He doesn't love her." I whispered first, but then said loudly. I knew Mukuro was more then likely in raged because she came into view. Thank Kami for Yukina, for she held the woman back. The preacher told her my right to speak, and Hiei could only stare at me with horror. "Kur...Kurama...I-I don't under...""Shh. Let me finish." I said hushing him. My tears made themselves noticeable and frequent. I took Hiei's hands in my own. His eyes widened at the contact.

I spoke softly now, to him and only him, though others could hear me. "Hiei, you want to know what's wrong with me? Why I've been crying this past month every time you seen me? Why I lied and said I had allergies?" He slowly shook his head 'yes'. He was too confused to speak, which was fine by me at this moment. I took a deep breath. "Because Hiei...I love you." I have him a moment to absorb my words. Boy it was impressing to watch all those gasps pour out of his mouth...But his in particular was silent. "You...you do?" I'm glad he didn't make me repeat myself. "Yes. And because I do, it hurt. It still does. It hurt when you asked me to be your Best man. That's why I've cried myself to sleep for the past month, that's why I was depressed yesterday at your party. That's why it took so long for me to muster up enough strength to come here today." "Kur-" "Shh. I'm not finished. Now naturally I want you to be happy no matter what. And had you truly been in love with Mukuro, I would have swallowed my pride and said nothing. But Hiei...what you told me so long ago...that you're doing this only to repay her for the kindness she's givin you. That Just won't do..."

"Hiei?" She interrupted. He looked at her with horror. "Is this...true?" I gave him a chance to answer her. "I...I..." Was all he could manage. He looked back at me, with disgust this time. More tears. I'd let go of his hands by now. I looked at the ground before dropping to my knees. I leaned fore ward and hugged him again, the way I did the night before. I just cried and let him watch me do so. I cried so hard, I think even Mukuro felt sorry for me. I doubt it though now that I think about it... Hiei lightly rested one of his hands on the top of my head and the other on my shoulder. He was still angry though, I could feel it in his aura. However this meant that he would still be my friend though, right?

I finally calmed a little. Enough to speak somewhat clearly. "Hiei," I looked up to meet his eyes. "Even if you don't love me the way I love you...I can't stand by and watch as you throw away your most precious gift to someone you don't love in that manner. Please, Hiei. Think about what YOU want for once...Now what you need to make others happy. You deserve to be happy too!" I said and hid my face in his belly again. He moved his hand to my other shoulder and embraced me. I felt a small thunk on my head that was quickly fallowed with the glass-marble-hitting-the-floor sound. I knew exactly what it meant, and Yukina's gasp clarified it.

I opened my eyes to see the tiny black tear gem roll to a stop at my knee. I looked back at Hiei, who's eyes were closed. "I'm sorry kurama. You're too late. I love Mukuro. If you can't accept that, then please, es..." he cut off and a few more tears escaped him. I hugged him tighter as he pulled me closer. He sighed. "Es...escort yourself out...of my life." He said. My heart tightened in my chest. It's like I cried myself out of tears, or I was too shocked to create them. It felt like I just died and that nobody cared. I stood slowly and made him look me in the eyes. I knew he didn't want me to leave, I could see it clearly in his own eyes. I had earned in his world the title of 'World's Greatest Friend.' But I also know that he lied to me and everyone listening when he said that he loved Mukuro. I leaned fore ward and kissed him gently on the forehead. Before I separated completely, I whispered to him.

"Then goodbye my love." I turned around and left towards the door. Many tear gems hit the floor. Some may have been Yukina's, but most were Hiei's. It hurt, badly I might add. But I kept on. "Kur...Kurama you bastard!" he yelled rather ungracefully. I paused at the door and looked back at him. "I'm dead to you Hiei." I said coldly. His eyes were overwhelmed with tears, and he fell to his hands and knees, punching the floor. " I hate you..." He said quietly. I closed my eyes and turned my back to him, leaving. "I HATE YOU!" I heard I'm scream before the doors shut.

I immediately went to the bathroom and sat in the stall furthest from the door, closest to the opposite wall, my knees against my chest so no one could see me. Tears came once again. I stuffed my face in my arms again and cried silently until I heard the main door open. I hushed myself, and thank goodness for Yoko because he thought to hide our ki.

It was Hiei, I felt it in his powerful aura. I heard him pace quickly for a few seconds in the bathroom, cursing at me angrily. The sound of his quick steps stopped and were replaced with the sound of him punching the mirror several times. I heard him punch a harder surface, probably the wall next to the mirror. And then he punched one of the stalls. (later I found out it was the only stall next to the one I was in.) He sighed, and walked to the wall directly in front of my stall. (I could see his shadow at that point) I heard the sound of sliding and the sound of slumping that told me he was sitting on the floor, leaning on the wall opposite of me. His sobs turned mournful.

I could almost see him there. The picture my mind's eye gave me was of him, curled into a trembling ball, shaking and jolting in his sobs, all the while hugging himself. I silently sobbed with him. There he was, the love of my life, the light of my world. Crying, sobbing, cursing me for ruining him. And I couldn't do anything about it. I considered exiting the stall, but decided against it when I felt Yukina's soft ki come into the room. She walked to him and assumable hugged him. I heard him cry harder, which told me she was holding him. I listened intently.

"Hiei..." She whispered as if not sure what to say. He sniffed and fell silent for a moment. He then was the next to speak. "...Yukina...I don't...get it...(sniff)(sob) Why would he do this? If he loved me so much, why didn't he tell (sob) me sooner? Why did he wait till now! (sob) He-he-he could have told me any one of the times we spoke before today! I would have been happier if he would have told me YESTERDAY...But no! He'd rather wait and...and..." he trailed off. "And ruin the wedding you never wanted to be a part of?" She finished for him softly, as if talking through my lips.

I heard his silence, sensed his shock. But then his understanding. "...Yes..." he answered. "Hiei, he was fallowing his heart. I may be as people call it 'oblivious' to love matters, but I know enough to know that love as string as what Kurama feels for you isn't born over night. How long has he loved you Hiei?" "I don't know..." "Exactly. You know why? Because he was afraid of rejection. He's lived in the human world for 23 years now. His human half was raised to believe that people treat you like a different breed if you admit that you love the same gender as yourself. That sounds bizarre to us, but to the humans it's logical. Maybe he thought you were the same way despite his former up development. Do you know why he risked everything he had to stop your wedding?" "..." "Because he wants you to spend your live with someone you really truly love. It was also his last chance to tell you how he felt. Really, do you think he only loved you after you told him you were getting wed? No. I highly doubt that. So now it's up to you. What happens next?" He was seemingly stunned.

I was now praising Yukina and planning on giving her some kind of reward. Twice now in the same hour I thanked the gods for adding her to the living world. God how I loved that girl! I always have. But you see, I love her the way that Hiei loves Mukuro. The whole point of this story is to prove how in love with Hiei I really am. See my dilemma?

My curiosity provoked me, so I slowly stood up on the toilet seat and watched Hiei bury his face into her shoulder. I seen the blood on his knuckles that dribbled down his arm, staining the white dress shirt he was wearing. (he had taken the jacket part off) I looked around. Creators were in the wall he was half leaning on in the corner of the room; several severe fractures and blood stains on the mirror. I snapped my attention back to them when I felt Yukina's energy expose itself to see she was healing his knuckles.

She hugged him again when she was done, rocking him lovingly like a small child. "What...should I do?" he sniffed. "Well, you can either move on with your life and finish the wedding, living with the fact that you banished the one whom admires you so from ever interacting with you again. Or," He looked up at her, beckoning her to continue. "You can go apologize before he---" Something dawned on her. She stood quickly, skillfully (though she didn't mean to) pulling Hiei up with her. Tear gems littered the floor. Hiei was more than confused. I sank slightly, but held my ground. They were focusing on each other's eyes.

"Oh my gosh!" She grabbed him by his biceps. "Hiei! What if he commits suicide?" His eyes grew wide with sudden understanding and regret. Without a word he went for the door. I spoke to her telepathically, saying only her name. She looked quickly where she felt it came from, looking right at me. She smiled and I hid once again. I heard her leave the bathroom and come back, dragging a complaining Hiei with her. "No. Decide now. You told him to step out of your life. If you really are in love with Mukuro, you'll abide to that and not interfere. But if you agree with him and take his advice, forget what you said and demolish the ban. Who do you choose? Kurama or Mukuro?" "..." silence. (Un beknowest to Kurama and Hiei, Mukuro steps into the bathroom and leans against the wall after seeing what was going on. Yukina seen her, but only nodded. 'Maybe it would be better if she heard this too.' she thought)

"..." "Hiei!" "Kurama!" "And why do you choose Kurama?" She asked. "Because...I love him too...I'm in love with Kurama..." He said quietly. I hid my face again in silent tears of joy. Yukina has now graduated to a "Level 3" reward. "Then look no farther Hiei. Your soul mate awaits you." She said. I heard the door squeak a moment later as it opened. I felt his eyes on me. "K...Kurama?" He spoke. I softly looked up at him, a smile on my face.

I practically 'glomped' him, nearly throwing us on the floor. It did send us out of the stall though. I hugged his neck and shoulders tightly, clinging to him as tight as I could without hurting him. He quickly hugged me back, just as tight. "I love you, Kurama." He said. I buried my face in his hair, crying happily. "I love you too, Hiei!" I said shakily. We heard an amused 'hmm' by the door. We separated quickly to see Mukuro with Yukina next to her. She smiled and nodded what seemed like approval. I was bewildered. "Mukuro...I-" Hiei began. She shook her head 'no', with a gentle smile on her face.

"No Hiei. I don't need an explanation." She came to him and hugged him tightly. She looked at me. "Do you commit your love and devotion to him for the rest of eternity?" I shook my head 'yes'. She smiled and looked down at Hiei. "Have a very happy life with him, OK Hiei?" She said surprisingly. He looked up at her in shock. She looked at me again, still hugging Hiei. He could only hug her back. "If I find out later that you've hurt him, you'll be a dead fox in a matter of seconds." She said sternly.

Hiei and I both smiled at her in thanks. She released him and turned towards the door. "Don't be afraid to visit every once in a while, Hiei. I don't want this to be the last time we see each other." She said and didn't' even wait for an answer. Yukina fallowed her out the door. Hiei looked back at me, a wide grin on his face. I've never seen such a heartfelt smile. I smiled back at him. "I'm not sure exactly what just happened between her and I; but I'm glad it did." he said softly, coming fore ward and hugging me again. I held him in my arms like I've always wanted to. "Me too." I said. He smiled up at me.
