Hiei: to bad. you have to finish what you start.
Safia: --I know...
On to the fic!
Hiei sat leaning against the wall with his knee's pulled up to his chest and a rather meloncoly look on his face, stairing down at the dirty floor on which he sat."Hiei?" He heard Kurama call softly. Ruby red eyes met emerald green ones. "Hey..." Hiei answered. Kurama sat down next to the smaller yokai. "Hiei what...what happend last night?" Kurama asked. "I mean I understand that'd you'd be sad but...I've never seen you like that...are you alright?"Kurama asked. Hiei could practicly see the concern in his voice.
"I..."Hiei started. He turned to look up at Kurama."I...I just...I..." Hiei tried again, burrying his face in his palms. "Oh...don't cry Hiei" Kurama soothed. "It's alright...forget about it" He reached over and gave Hiei a gentle hug."But...but kitsune I...I..." Hiei tried yet again to find the words he was so desperatly searching for."You what Hiei?" Kurama asked, wishing he could help.
"I...I...I need help fox..." Hiei finally managed to choke out. Tears briming in his eyes again."You need help?" Kurama repeated. "With what Hiei?" Kurama asked, wanting to be able to help Hiei with whatever it was he needed help with."I...I...I'm...sc-scared." Hiei admitted looking down at the ground sadly."Your scared? Baby what are you afraid of? Mukuro?" Kurama asked. Hiei nodded sadly as a tear gem hit the floor.
"Oh..." Kurama whispered sadly. He reached over and pulled hiei onto his lap and Hiei, surprisinlgy, made no fuss about it."Hiei...don't cry over her...she's not worth it..." Kurama reached down and wiped a tear from Hiei's cheek." But..." was all Hiei could manage."Hiei...we're going to get out of here alright? And when we do,we can go back to my apartment, and nobody will be able to hurt you like this ever again, and you'll be safe, and then, things will...just maybe go back to normal..." Kurama said softly.
Hiei seemed to ponder this for a minute before nodding his head silently. Kurama smiled just a little bit. He reached over and pulled Hiei into his lap and Hiei didn't protest. Actually, the little fire demon let his head rest on Kurama's chest and Kurama ran his hand gently through the spikey strands of Hiei's hair. "Hey...fox?" Hiei whispered."Hm? What is it Hiei?" Kurama replied in an equally quiet whisper."I...I'm just not good with this stupid stuff!"
"Hm? What stuff is that, Hiei?"
"I...I..."
Hiei looked up at Kurama and sudenly their lips colided.
