Okay, so I went to bed last night thinking about this chapter. I didn't know what I was going to do, but, well, you'll find out what happens.
Chapter Three: Midnight
Hiei came out of the bathroom, leaving the light on. He looked over at the bed to find those comforting green eyes staring at him. He knew that he should tell Kurama about his dreams, but was concerned for the safety of Yukina if he did. Demon foxes weren't known to share their lovers.
Kurama was lying on his side with one hand under the pillow and the other up near his chin. The blankets were down by his waist, revealing a well-toned upper body. His crimson hair was spread out behind him, giving the misjudgment that he was bleeding. Hiei looked at his fragile mate, not wanting to hurt him, but not wanting to stay in the room.
"I'm goin' out," the fire demon said, making startling Kurama.
"Hiei, it's midnight. Can you not wait to go out until morning?" Kurama asked.
"Hn," Hiei said, grabbing a black t-shirt before heading to the window.
Without waiting to hear what his fox had to say, Hiei leapt from the window sill and headed toward the forest in the center of town. He had to get away from Kurama, if only for a little while. As he approached the forest, he veered off course, headed towards Kuwabara's house instead. He needed to check to make sure Yukina was okay.
FLASHBACK
"Yukina, other than coming to congratulate me, and to help me with your… um… to help me with Hiei, what brings you here today?" Kurama asked, quickly changing his words from 'your brother' to 'Hiei' when he noticed the death glare he was being given.
"Oh!! I came to say that I've decided to move in with Kazuma," Yukina said in a quiet and shy voice.
"WHAT?" roared Hiei.
"Well, we've been dating for almost a year now, and he wants to make sure he can protect me so he asked if I would move in with him, and I said yes," Yukina said, wondering why Hiei was so upset.
"That asshole," Hiei muttered under his breath.
END FLASHBACK
Hiei sped towards Kuwabara's house, not planning on entering, just wanting to see if Yukina was alright. When he got there, he found Yukina snuggled up to Kuwabara, fast asleep. In spite of himself, Hiei couldn't help but get angry.
'What are you so angry about? You've got Kurama; she's got Kuwabara, that's how it should be. Besides, she's your fucking sister,' Hiei thought to himself.
He left his perch outside their front window and returned to the forest. He was surprised when a certain redhead was standing before it, waiting for Hiei to arrive.
"What to you so long? Did you go over to Yukina's again, because I assure you, she is in safe hands," Kurama asked.
"Hn. I know, I'm just so pissed off at that asshole for not asking me first if he could go out with her," was the reply he got.
Kurama smiled, and Hiei scowled at the thought that Kurama was thinking.
"Don't you fucking say it!! I know he don't know she's my little sister, but that's beside the fucking point," Hiei said, entering the forest without looking back.
Kurama just smiled before he took off after Hiei. He was not planning on getting into a fight with Hiei. Unless Yukina got Hiei to side with him, Kurama never won a fight.
Hiei stopped in a clearing within the forest and waited for Kurama to catch up. When he did, Hiei motioned him to come over and sit. When Kurama had, Hiei sat down beside him and leaned his head against the taller boy's shoulder. Kurama smiled inwardly and looked down at the little fire demon.
"Hiei," he said.
"Hn."
"I love you."
"Diddo, you stupid fox," Hiei said looking up into emerald eyes.
