Chapter 5: Ice Cream
Hiei walked to the oak tree and waited for Kurama. Usually it was the redhead who waited for him, why was Kurama late?
Hiei looked up to see Kurama run toward him.
"You're late," said Hiei when Kurama stopped in front of him.
"Sorry, I had some homework I needed to finish."
"Are you sure you're okay? You look pale." Kurama did. The yellow bags under his eyes were bigger and his face looked sunken in, showing his cheek bones.
Kurama looked angrily at Hiei and snapped at his friend.
"Why do you keep asking me that?! I'm fine?!"
"Okay Kurama, okay. I'm just worried, is all."
"Worry about someone else, Hiei!" and he pushed pasted Hiei and marched to school and Hiei ran after him.
"Kurama, you're right, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have butted in. I was just worried."
"I know you were," said Kurama in a softer tone, "and I'm sorry for snapping at you. It's nice of you to worry but, please, don't interrogate me for it."
"Sure, Red." And they walked into school. Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara got yelled at for missing school until Kurama told a white line to get them out. Kuwabara wasn't happy about laying to someone but a look from Hiei shut him up.
"You're getting good at this," said Hiei to Kurama and the redhead blushed.
The next day was horrible for Hiei. There was a new girl in school and she wouldn't stop following Hiei around. Kurama could tell his friend was angry and tried to keep the girl away, but to no avail.
"Koaru-san, please leave Hiei alone. He's busy and needs to study," he said and Koaru got angry.
"What could be so important that it'll keep me away from my Hiei-chan," she yelled.
"My sanity," muttered Hiei so only Kurama could hear. Grabbing Kurama's wrist he dragged his friend through the halls, Koaru skipping behind them. Pushing Kurama in a room they waited until she walked away singing a ditty that made Hiei blush.
"Me and Hiei are getting married," she sang. "Me and Hiei are going to have kids. Me and Hiei are getting married and that's the way it is."
"Married, huh," said Kurama when she moved away from them.
"Shuddup, Red," said Hiei and pushed him out. "Let's ditch."
"School? But we ditched two days ago! We'll get in trouble!"
"Not if we have good boy Minamino with us. Come on."
He led Kurama to the oak tree and climbed up. He extended a hand to his friend and gave him a serious look.
"Don't be a flake," said Hiei and Kurama looked angrily at him.
"Who are you calling a flake?" And grabbed Hiei's hand. The smaller teenager pulled his friend up and they jumped down and took off their jackets, Kurama still wearing the jewelry he bought.
"You're still wearing those," asked Hiei.
"I like them. Especially this one." He held up the fox necklace. "It seems to symbolize who I am, like your dragon one." He tapped the dragon pendent around Hiei's neck.
"My mother gave that to me. You know that."
"Yes, but you see what I mean?"
"Yes, let's get some ice cream."
"That's fine with me."
They walked to the ice cream parlor and Kurama bought them both sundaes. Sitting at a table the started eating.
"I don't know how to explain this to the school," said Kurama looking at Hiei for a second before returning back to his ice cream. Why were there butterflies in his stomach?
"Say that your mother was sick," said Hiei looking at Kurama for a second before returning back to his ice cream. Why was his heart beating faster?
"But what about mother?"
"Say I got into a fight and had a hit in the head."
"But what about the bandage?"
"Minor concussion?"
"Okay, maybe you should make the excuses instead of me."
"Gladly."
They finished their ice cream and walked down the street.
"So, do you like Koaru?"
"Do I look like I like her?"
"No, who do you like?"
Hiei shrugged. "Don't know, yet. Besides the day I like someone like that is the say I give my necklace away."
"That's a never."
"You're catching one."
They hung out the rest of the day.
