Chapter 12
What's love?
"I was his slave." You start. "He nursed me to health and because saved me. My life was his to rule. I wasn't the best slave...I tended to be stupid. My thoughts were different then now. Yoko kinda helped me there, He'd hurt me ... badly... every time I couldn't kill someone on a mission."
"I mission?" Hiei asks.
"Yes. To go steal something I did not wish to steal. Glad he taught me that. He actually taught me a lot of valuable lesson like I have no place in any world, I'm just his tool. He reminded me that I'm an idiot when I feel a little happy. Always told me my place. Sometimes he hurt me just to feel he had power. And if I looked at him the wrong way... he'd get really angry. I have scores that still hurt, he put something in it so I would never forget and it'd still hurt like I said. Eventually I somehow found the courage to escape, and that's what I did. But that didn't keep me from suffering. All I could think about was him, what he'd do if he found me. I had suffered for 50 years and I had gone insane. I had to be sure he would die. I dressed up as a hunter. When I found him he was grieving about something..."
"Kuronue's death." Kurama states. "It was his lover for those 50 years.
"love?" you look at then confused.
"It is weak feeling, continue, it's the first good story I heard that might be worse then mine..." Hiei says impatiently.
You nod to Hiei and continue. "I shot him, when I was sure he was dead I massacred his body, made sure there was no possible way he'd come back. I was free."
"But then after being captured by the detective and I, you found he was still alive, and explains why you thought about hating him, and it explains a lot." Hiei nods thinking it all over.
Kurama looks like he's gonna cry. "I'm so sorry." He looks at you with watery eyes.
"Don't be, only think to be sorry about is he lives in you, and I didn't kill him properly the first time. I'm not sad about my past. It just pains are to think about it... What's wrong with your eyes?"
Hiei looks at Kurama's eyes to see what you're talking about, "that's crying baka. He feels guilty and sad."
"But he didn't do anything..."
Hiei nods "Ningen emotions. So that's why you cared if she was okay. She's your responsibility."
You growl, you wish you could leave, but you don't think you are at the state of near death.
"She's not a pet." Kurama spits out.
"She is to the fox."
"Not me!" Kurama growls.
"hn." Hiei doesn't push him any further, not wanting to make him mad. Kurama continues to feed you. Eventually they both go to sleep and you sit there meditating.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
A few weeks later, you are sitting outside of Genkai's Temple, you and the others were called there, so you wait outside to wait for the others. Kurama and Hiei walk up to the Temple.
"Ami, what are you doing waiting outside? Do you wish to catch another cold?" Kurama says concerned. You have been sleeping at his place off and on the past few weeks, only when you think you can't stand the cold.
"hn. Waiting."
"Go inside, and have tea baka onna." Hiei growls
"and if I don't?"
"You'll answer to me."
"What? You'll want me to kick your ass again?"
"Settle down children, I swear you two could be a brother and sister. Please." Kurama says pleadingly, "let's go inside." You and Hiei growl at each other and go inside and see Yusuke and a girl attached at the lips. Your eyes grow wide, not understanding what they are doing.
You walk up to them and look closely. Kurama and Hiei look at each other confused. "What are you doing Ami?"
You pull out your sword, ready to unattached them, thinking the women must be a monster of some sort from Ningenkai. "They are attached, I'm going to cut them apart."
At this Yusuke and the women rip apart, looking scared, Yusuke holds the women protectively. "Ami! We were kissing! Ever heard of privacy?"
"no." :What's kissing? And what's a privacy?: You cock your head at them, confused.
Kurama and Hiei laugh, "If you wanted privacy you would make-out in a private room, not in the Temple's Entry way." Kurama says when he is finally able to breath after laughing so much.
"Ptch, well what were you thinking? Putting a blade to us when we are kissing?"
"I thought you two were attached..."
"It's called kissing." You cock your head to the side again, showing that what Yusuke just said was a mystery.
"It's what a bo-" Kurama starts but then gets cut off rudely.
"We are engaged." Yusuke says proudly.
"Really? Well congratulations." Kurama smiles and shakes Yusuke's hand. You growl.
" You ningens explain. What is going on?"
"This is Keiko, my fiancé."
You only growl even more, "I'm losing patients."
"It's when... two people who love each other get permission to be bonded by law." Kurama steps in to help.
"And love is?" You ask.
"It's another ningen stupid feeling." Hiei grunts.
"No Hiei, love can be expressed to or by anyone to whom ever their heart so chooses. It is a hard feeling to describe. It's when you have a great feeling towards someone, you really like them beyond comprehension, that person will love you too and respect you for all that you are. When they get married it is like to prove their love and show that they want to be together forever. Have a wonderful life together."
"... that's weird... and Yusuke and the chick 'love' each other?" You ask.
"Yes, Keiko and I do." Yusuke says. :That is some strange. Why would anyone experience such feelings?: You shrug. So then Kuwabara comes over and Yusuke tell him and then they celebrate a little and start on "wedding plans".
