Where is my happy ending?

Thank you so much to my first two reviewers again, Marikalay and Adalleria. You make me feel so special, I was so happy. I have a pain in the butt brother; I wish he wasn't living with us. He is truly a pain, oh I wish I can tell you guys, and I wish I can say I hate him, but he is my brother, that I really want him to move away as far as possible. We would be happier and healthier. When I saw you guys review, all that just went away, and I realise, nothing can take my happiness away, and I really want to thank you guys.

Chapter 5

"Night, fox."

"Goodnight Hiei, and thanks for coming back, it has been different without you here."

"Hn."

------------------

Kurama woke up by the sound of hearing someone curse next to him. Turning to his left, he saw Hiei trying to beat away the sun, by trying to cover his eyes with the thick comforter. Kurama let out a small laugh and glanced at the time.

"Hiei, I believe it is time to wake up, it is a little after 9 am."

"You do want you want. I'm staying here."

"So, you'll be sleeping in today? What about breakfast?"

Hiei groaned. He really did feel like sleeping, but he was in need of nourishment. Sighing, he sluggishly got out of bed, and gave Kurama a tired look.

"Are you alright, Hiei? You look... uh interesting."

"I'm fine fox, just that I've been so busy in Makai, I didn't get much time to sleep lately. That blasted woman is a slave driver when she's moody." He grunted,

"Oh. What do you want to eat?" he asked changing the subject.

"I don't care."

"Alright then, let's go see what I have."

'Dumb fox, how could you not know what you have.' He thought following Kurama downstairs to the kitchen.

"Hm, what about some Onigiri and tuna, or do you want egg?" He asked looking in the fridge.

"Hn, just hurry." Kurama laughed at that.

"Wow, busy to do something?" Then he heard Hiei's stomach growled an answer for him.

He laughed harder, "Anything for you master." The he remembered what that voice in his heard said last night. Oh boy.

"Shut up." He said as he sat on the chair and rests his foot on the table with his arm folded across his chest.

Kurama was about to say something, but Hiei was fast asleep. Humming to himself, he began making breakfast.

"Hiei, wake up." Kurama poked at him with a chopstick.

"I am not food fox." He replied lazily opening his eyes. His eyes widen as he saw the amount of food the fox prepared. "WOW." He said and Kurama smiled.

"I see you're pleased. Well carry on. I ate while you were sleeping."

Hiei gave him a look. "I like to eat and cook at the same time, go ahead and eat. I am going to take a shower. I have to go shop for an outfit for Shu-chans wedding." He just stood there just looking at Hiei.

"What, I thought you were going." He said picking up the chopsticks and began to eat.

"Uh... um... I ... uh."

"Spit it out fox." He said in between bites.

"Can you come with me?"

"I don't like crowds."

"I mean to the wedding. I will be bored and it will be good to have a friend there, especially for the support."

He looked at Hiei as he eats and thought the fire demon didn't hear a word he was saying. The he looked up.

"What's in it for me?"

"What do you want Hiei, it's my brother's wedding." He sighed with frustration. "I'm going to take my shower now." He left before Hiei can give him a smart remark.

Hiei POV-------

Why does the fox have to do that? He makes me feel guilty without trying. I despise ningen functions, especially since I don't know them well. I've seen the way he has behaved last night, maybe he has become alone. I never would have thought Youko Kurama would be alone. He has always infatuated someone, even when he was in that school. I know I should do this for him. He has helped me countless of times, on and off the battlefield. Just look here, he did all this food for me now without asking for anything in return. Sigh. If I do this, he'll be happy and I'll spare him a night of misery, but if I don't he'll be bombarded with questions, awkward confrontations, and girls would want to dance with him. Huh. Where did that come from? Of course I don't own the fox but I don't want anybody touching him in any way especially since I can't.

Ever since I last saw him years ago, he has plagued my mind, but his body language prevents me from contemplating my move for anything really. It is discouraging. I don't know what I want from the fox, I just know. I don't want to lose him, or let anyone new come in his life. I've contemplated with the fact that I might be in l...love, but, ha, fat chance for that. Even if I did, uh, I hate that word...love, him, he would never love me in the same context. I'm Hiei, and he is Kurama. I also haven't seen any sign of it.

I've always thought Mukuro fancied me, but I just hate thinking about her in that way. She saw myself distancing from her, and she gave me a pile of work to do. Who the hell she thinks she is? Who does that to a person who helped her move on and cut the ties from her past? Damn un-appreciating woman. Maybe I do have feelings for her. I've seen Urameshi, talk negative about his girl, but they seem to be in love and it is going strong. I am the wrong person to talk to about this. I look down as the chopsticks hit the plate and not food anymore. I did not notice I was looking off into random space.

Man that fox can cook, I thought as I looked at the empty table now.

Normal POV --------------------

After cleaning the kitchen for the fox, he went up stairs to take a shower as well. To be safe he went into the guest bathroom.

"Shit, I forgot clothes." Hiei commented, as he took a towel and wrapped it around his waist.

He walked into Kurama's room. "Fox I need clothes, I forgot mine in Makai."

Kurama turned from where he was brushing his hair and noticed Hiei's state. 'Oh how lovely.' 'Shut up' Kurama thought. "I've never known for you to forget things."

"I was in a hurry." Came the blunt answer.

He went into his closet and looked for something appropriate for Hiei to wear.

"Maybe you can come with me shopping so you can have a stock of clothing here in case you decide to visit again."

"Then I'll be moving in with you. Are you that lonely fox?"

Kurama paused for a while, and then continued shuffling though the clothes.

"Answer me fox. I saw the way you behaved last light. You may have everyone else fooled, but I'm no fool fox."

"Hiei, I did tell you. I just want to live for me. I want to consider a relationship, but I don't want to rush, but I am tired of feeling lonely, are you happy now, I said it, I'm lonely. I am confusing myself." He sighed and looked at Hiei. "I don't know why I do feel that way now." He lied.

"You're lying fox."

"Well, then I don't want to talk about it then. Here." He handed him a black jeans with a white t-shirt and a black blazer.

"Hn. This is what happens when you spend too much time here. You become weak." He then left the room to go change.

"Does he really think me weak? I feel so confused. One minute I'm saying I love this but then the next minute I'm contradicting what I said before." He fell back on the bed and asked the ceiling

A few minutes later, Hiei came back into the room. "Let's go fox before I change my mind."

Kurama just followed him in silence.

With some guidance, Hiei led Kurama to the mall, since Kurama seem to be just tagging along.

"Fox, stop moping."

"I'm not moping, just thinking."

"Then stop it."

"You're so rude, and inconsiderate."

"It's nothing new."

Kurama sighed. Hiei was right; maybe I just let him have it.

"You're right." He put on a smile and said "Let's go shopping Hiei." He took Hiei's hand and pulled him into a tuxedo clothing store.

All Hiei saw in the store was Kurama blurring in and out of racks asking, "Do you like this one, what about this?"

Poor Hiei just stood there, being fretted upon by Kurama. It felt kind of nice to him. Eventually, they found themselves, well Kurama did, two Tuxes for the wedding. Kurama went to pay for it, while Hiei was looking in some random location.

"Let's go Hiei, we're done here. Let get you some normal clothes."

"You paid for both of them?"

" Yea, what did you expect for me to do?"

"Hn."

They left the store and headed to the food court.

"I need a drink Hiei, let's rest here for a while."

"......" Hiei was eying everyone.

"Hiei, relax no one will come up to you."

"So is she a thing or a person coming this way?" he said staring daggers at the approaching female.

Kurama narrowed his eyes towards her. He was relieved she wasn't looking at him, but was ready to defend what is his, in any way he has to.

"Uh Hi, you're cute. I'm..." but the girl was cut off.

"Get away from me, now." Hiei growled

"Hm, well it seems you are playing hard to get." She flirted while Kurama was carefully plotting against her, while fuming, of course.

Hiei sighed; he has seen this with Kurama's many fans a few times before. He turned to face her, looking at her so intense, he saw her flinched. Good.

"I'll say it one more time onna, get away from me." He turned and pulled Kurama to the Juice bar, leaving the girl scanning to see if anyone saw that she was rejected. Kurama was in heaven with Hiei pulling him.

"Order your stuff fox, so we can get out." He said leaning against the counter with his arms folded.

"May I help you?" Came the server.

"Yes, May I have a strawberry smoothy. Hiei, do you want anything?"

"Just hurry fox."

"And a mango smoothy."

"Will that be all?"

"Yes, thank you."

They said nothing to each other as they waited for the drink.

"Here, enjoy, and come again."

"How much is it?"

"Um... ¥ 1150." The server checked

Hiei reached into his pocket and paid for it before Kurama could, then took his intended drink and left, knowing Kurama would be right behind him.

"Uh... I could have paid for it."

"I didn't want you to." With that said, it made Kurama smile. Hiei did something sweet for him.

"Thanks."

"What are you thanking me for? Let's get my clothes so I can get out of here and catch up with my sleep."

They walked in silence to stores after stores. Eventually they stopped in a punkish store.

Hiei scanned the place then picked out two black jeans, one with metal hooks and one without, a dark blue genes, a few t-shirts, and button up shirts and a black jacket. Walking to the counter, he dropped it and the cashier rang it up.

Kurama just stood there watching Hiei. That was the fastest time he has ever seen someone shop. Unlike Hiei, he will stay and contemplate whether or not he really would wear this or not, then search, again, but eventually come back to the original piece. 'Too many shopping dates with mother.' He thought.

"Do you want anything fox?"

Taken aback by the question, he shook his head, but then spotted a blood red t-shirt, with a dragon on it and the kanji for fire. Hiei followed his eyes, and then went for it.

"Let's go, Kurama." He said as he walked to the door.

Kurama just looked at him with his mouth agape, and eyes widen, because one, Hiei bought something else for him, two, he called him Kurama. It has been a while since he has heard his name flow form Hiei's mouth, and three; it is not all the time you see Hiei shop. He was so swift and knew exactly what he wanted. He decided it would be wise to just follow without a word. As they passed a garbage bin, Hiei threw the empty smoothy can in it making a score without even looking.

'Impressive.' Kurama thought.

"Do you want to take a taxi, it will be faster."

"Yes."

"FINALLY." He said exasperatedly as he dropped his bags at the foot of the bed and flopped on it face first into the pillow, ready for dream land. But that had to wait.

"Hiei, don't go to sleep yet."

"WHY?" He said through the pillow

"Why are you so tired?"

"Mukuro, now let me sleep. Ask more questions when I wake up."

Sadden by the fact that Mukuro had something to do with it, not sure how she did, he said, "I will wake you at seven for dinner." He looked down at the now sleeping Hiei. Hiei was knocked out. Kurama began thinking, trying to make sense of the enigma that is Hiei. 'Why is he so tired? The only time I've ever seen him sleep this much has been when he release the kokuryuha. I've never even asked him what he does over there. I justvknow he was patrolling, but his time was up for that. How can I know without acting nosy or suspicious?' Then he left the room not bothering to put anything away.

This is it for now, I hope it is what you're expecting, and continue to follow up. I will try not to let you down, thank you and byebye.
