Taerga Live- Don't worry, I'm not going to give up on the story.
The rather startled Hiei's eyes briefly widened in shock and he turned around quickly.
Kurama smiled. "I'm sorry," he apologized, laughter filled his voice. "Did I scare you?" his smile widened as he made his way around the bench and sat down beside Hiei.
Hiei felt his muscles relax. He scoffed and rolled his eyes at the redhead. "Don't insult me Kurama," he snapped angrily. "You didn't scare me, you…" his voice trailed off as his eyes widened again, realizing what has startled him in the first place. "You called me Yamaha."
Kurama shrugged. "Did I?" he merely said.
"Do not play dumb with me fox." Hiei snapped. He then sighed. "You know don't you?" he asked in a much calmer voice.
The redhead nodded, and his smile dropped from his face. "Yes Hiei, I know." He said. There was a moment of unbearable silence that seemed to drag on until Kurama broke it. "It's risky." He finally said.
Hiei nodded.
"After all, Yukina is smart. If you aren't careful…"
"Don't you think I already know that?" Hiei interrupted. Kurama stared at him. The fire demon sighed as he looked to the sky and thought of what to say. "I…" Hiei's eyes looked back at Kurama's eyes. "I truly want her to be happy." He said finally. " I want to be there for her and now I can… or rather, Yamaha can."
Kurama nodded. "I understand, just… be careful."
There was another moment of silence, though it was not as uneasy as it had previously been. Out of the corner of his eye, Hiei saw a figure approaching the bench, but he didn't look up until a strand of blue hair fell in front of his face.
"Hello!" a cheery voice chimed.
Hiei looked up to see the figure leaning on the back of the bench.
"Hello Botan." Kurama greeted. Hiei said nothing.
"What were you two talking about?" Botan asked curiously.
Kurama thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his face. Hiei couldn't help but wonder what the redhead was thinking. "We were just talking about… birthday parties." He said.
Botan's face lit up. "For anyone in particular?" she asked.
Kurama nodded. "Yes actually, Yukina's birthday is in a week, and we were thinking about throwing her a surprise party." He said. Hiei stared at him as if to say What in the world are you thinking! I know nothing about parties!
Botan gave a big smile. "I love parties!" she said.
Kurama's smile widened. "Would you like to help us prepare everything?" he asked.
Not a second passed before Botan nodded with such force it was a wonder that she didn't get dizzy. "Of course!" she exclaimed. "I would love to!"
Well, this took longer than I hoped to update because I had to write it twice since for whatever the reason the first time I typed it up it got deleted.
Please review!
