Walked away, heard
them say
"Poison hearts will never change,"
walk away
again.
Turned away in disgrace,
felt the chill upon my face
cooling from within.
Kurama yawns and stretches his legs out; his head was throbbing with pain. It had been a while since he had cried so much before. He runs a hand over his eyes, trying to clear them of sleep before glancing over at Yusuke, The spirit detective was sleeping curled in a ball, with the blankets pulled up to his neck. Kurama turns on his side and watches the man sleeping. Yusuke had no idea that Kurama had cheated on him and Kurama couldn't let him find out. Yusuke would be heartbroken and Kurama loved him to much to let that happen. Kurama sighs quietly looking past Yusuke's head to the clock on the bedside table, 4:30. That meant that Kurama had been sleeping for eight hours or so, more than enough sleep for him. He slowly rolls out of the bed, being as careful as he could to not wake the spirit detective. He walks out of the bedroom and into the living room, looking around at the tiny apartment. Yusuke deserved more than this and him, for that matter. He runs a hand through his hair, contemplating his next move. That was it, he would leave, Yusuke would find someone new, who loved him more than Kurama, and they would both be happy. Kurama sighs after coming to this revelation, he would never be happy without Yusuke, but he couldn't stay here either. He moves over to the table and quickly scratches out a note, so as not to make Yusuke worry when he woke up and found Kurama not there, then with just a moment's hesitation, looking back at the bedroom door, he turns and quickly leaves the apartment.
Hard to notice
gleaming from the sky,
when you're staring at the cracks.
Hard
to notice what is passing by with eyes lowered.
Koneko angrily closes her book and looks towards the door as the pounding continues. When the pounding had first started, she had every intention of ignoring it, considering the fact that it was the middle of the night.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Koneko glares at the door, willing the knocking to stop and when it doesn't; she finally gets up and unlocks the door, frowning at the man standing there.
"Is Hiei here?" Kuwabara asks entering the house and starting towards Hiei's bedroom.
"He's not here, Kazuma," Koneko says following him, "What are you doing barging into my house at four in the morning?"
"I need Hiei," Kuwabara says looking under the bed for the little demon.
"Well, that's not something you hear everyday," Koneko says leaning against the door frame.
Kuwabara turns towards the cat-demon before crossing his arms over his chest, "Where is he?"
"Not here. He left earlier this morning and hasn't been back since."
"And that doesn't worry you?"
"Not in the least," Koneko says annoyed that he had interrupted her reading and was now asking stupid questions, "Will you please leave now? He's not here. Try at Kurama's or Yusuke's."
"Fine," Kuwabara says walking briskly past her.
"Kazuma, why are you looking for Hiei?"
Kuwabara turns to her as he's fixing to walk out the door, "Koenma needs us."
"Another job?" Koneko asks exasperated.
Kuwabara just shrugs and leaves the house, slamming the door shut behind him. Koneko angrily walks over to the door and locks it before dropping back into her normal chair and picking her book up again.
You... walked away,
heard them say
"Poison hearts will never change,"
walk
away again.
Yusuke opens his eyes as the knocking on the door wakes him out of his sleep. He looks beside him to notice the bed empty and glances at the clock beside him, 5:15. Where in the hell was Kurama at this hour? Yusuke gets out of bed as the knocking continues and pulls his pants on, running a hand through his unruly hair as he unlocks the door. He smiles at the girl standing there.
"Botan," he says hugging her, "Been a while. Come in," he says moving to the side and letting a yawn escape him.
"We really don't have much time, Yusuke. Koenma needs to see everyone. Is Kurama here with you?"
Yusuke shakes her head, "No, I haven't seen him since earlier tonight. He probably just ran to the store or something. Do you want anything to drink?" Yusuke asks going into the off-side kitchen and opening the fridge, "Damn, I hope that Kurama went to the store, because we have nothing," he says closing the fridge again and instead settling on some tap water.
"No, I'm fine," Botan says closing the door and walking into the living room, "Yusuke, what's this?" Botan asks picking up a piece of notebook paper from the table.
Yusuke hearing her ask comes into the area and takes the piece of paper from her, "So the toddler has another job for us," Yusuke asks smiling, the smile quickly fading as he finishes reading the letter.
Yusuke,
I love you. That much is certain, I am really in love with you. But I did something that I can't forgive and I'm not going to ask you to forgive it either. What is this thing I did you ask…. I slept with Hiei. And I kissed Hiei the night that you tried for hours to contact me. I'm so sorry, but I don't want to hurt you anymore than I have, so I'm leaving. I left all of my stuff; you can throw it out or put it in storage, whatever you want to do with it. I won't be back to get it. Don't try to find me either, because you won't. Don't forget that I love you, but move on with your life. Find a new love. I love you.
Kurama
The color drains from Yusuke's face, Kurama had cheated on him and now Kurama was leaving him. Yusuke reaches beside him for the chair and pulls it out, dropping onto it.
"Yusuke?" Botan questions as silent tears stream down his face.
"I have to go," Yusuke says standing again.
Botan looks at him confused, "But what about Koenma?"
"He'll have to wait. Kurama's missing and that's top priority," Yusuke says grabbing his coat off of the rack.
"Yusuke, Kurama really can take care of himself."
Yusuke looks back at Botan, "I don't care. I love him and I'm going to find him," he says turning back to the door and leaving.
All the cracks, they
lead right to me,
and all the cracks will crawl right through
me.
All the cracks, they lead right to me,
and all the cracks
will crawl right through me, and I fell apart.
Hiei had woken up when all the lights had started to come on in Yusuke's apartment. He had swore to himself that he was only going to stay out here for a couple more hours, but had ended up falling asleep thinking about Kurama and the situation that they had gotten themselves into. He watches the scene in the house, Botan talking to Yusuke and then Yusuke looking at a piece of paper and almost falling over, catching himself on the chair and sitting in it. 'Where is Kurama?' he thinks to himself before watching as Yusuke heads towards the door. After seeing the man do this, Hiei jumps out of the tree and stands by the apartment building's door, waiting for the spirit detective.
"What's wrong?" Hiei asks as Yusuke runs out of the door.
Yusuke stops and turns towards the little demon, "What are you doing here?"
"I want to see Kurama. But you look upset. What's wrong?"
"Kurama's gone."
"What? Why?" Hiei asks getting instantly worried.
"Because he slept with you," Yusuke says simply.
Hiei begins to say something but stops and puts his thumb to his lip, biting on the nail.
"Do you have anything to say to me?"
Hiei meets Yusuke's eyes, "I'm sorry, Yusuke, but…. Actually I'm not sorry. I love Kurama. And I want to be with him. You don't deserve him, Yusuke."
"You know what, Hiei, I work at a shitty job and have to deal with an asshole everyday, so that I can afford this apartment, because it's right down the road from Kurama's old one. I do so much to make sure that he is happy and yes, we do fight, but every couple has problems. And Kurama chose me, not you," Yusuke sighs running a hand through his hair, "I don't care that you slept with him, but I don't think I'll be able to find him on my own. Will you please help me?"
"Why should I? I could just go off on my own and find him."
"Because you're the reason he's gone," Yusuke says annoyed at the demon.
Hiei drops his hand from his mouth, "Fine, I'll help, but Kurama has had experience in covering his tracks. It might take a while."
"I don't care. I just want to find him."
"Okay, lets go," Hiei says shrugging.
As I... walked away,
heard them say
"Poison hearts will never change,"
walk
away again,
Turned away in disgrace,

face cooling from within
Kurama sighs and drops onto the hotel room's bed. He had made plans to go to demon world, but when he attempted it, he found he just couldn't leave. So, what if he had cheated, I mean people murdered and raped everyday. He didn't do anything that bad. Maybe Yusuke would forgive him if he tried explaining what had happened. But what had happened, other than him getting turned on by the little demon and sleeping with him. Yeah, that would be easy to explain, 'Hey, Yusuke, you know I slept with Hiei just because I felt like it,' that would go over real well. Kurama thinks bitterly, turning onto his side and falling asleep shortly after.
Another chapter came and went. Next chapter will hopefully be longer. I seem to be having more time to write now. But then again most of that time is spent reading fanfiction. My friend just asked me to read this 61 chapter gravitation fic, so that's going to take me a while, but oh well. I'll keep writing and updating. Thank you A.F.I. for the song lyrics. The Leaving song.
Yusuke: I don't like this chapter. It's depressing. I found out a lot of stuff that I would rather not know.
Me: What are you doing here?
Hiei: Hn. Don't you know that most people talk to their characters at the end of chapters.
Me: Not sane people.
Kurama: in the corner away from the other two men Who do I want? Hiei, Yusuke, Yusuke, Hiei. Man, I'm so confused.
Hiei: You want me.
Yusuke: But you love me.
Me: Does it matter? He ran away from the both of you.
Hiei: turns his angry glare at me He ran away from Yusuke.
Yusuke: Because of you. And don't make her mad. You know what she scribbled in the notebook for ch.8.
Me: I didn't scribble anything. Those are just possible ideas.
Kurama: I don't like that chapter. It makes me want to cry.
Me: slaps my hand over my face in exasperation Say good-bye, so I can write another chapter.
Hiei: Hn.
Yusuke: See you next chapter.
Kurama: Yusuke, Hiei, Hiei, Yusuke….. or both?
Yusuke and Hiei: What!?
