Bui nodded his head after hiei had stated that he was still alive. "Yes." He said "I am still alive." Hiei nodded. There was a pause and hiei stood and walked over to bui and unchained him. "For kami's sake get off the floor" He said gruffly as he turned and walked back to his chair and sat back down. Bui slowly stood and waited for hiei to say something else.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Hiei watched him as he stood. Bui looked the same as he had at the dark tournament. Same marks on his face, same blue hair that was the color of the human realm sky, same blue eyes to match. Same way of dressing, but he suddenly noticed something. "You're not wearing your armor." He half stated, half questioned. The larger man nodded. "After you beat me I under went more rigorous and intense training. After I completed it I just didn't need it anymore so I don't wear it." He nodded "You trained to defeat me?" Bui shook his head. "I…I know I could never beat you…I know it and I accept it…." Hiei watched a small smirk appear on the blue haired man's face "After all. I don't want you to get bored again like you did during our fight." Hiei felt a flash of mixed emotions but he returned the smirk with his own. "Well, at least you're extending me that courtesy."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Bui looked at him. Hiei. The man he loved. He was standing before hiei for the first time in years. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest.

-In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong-

His heart…the place where he kept his secret of loving hiei. The man he could never have. It was his sanctuary and his downfall.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

-To heal the wounds from lovers past until a new one comes along-

Hiei poured a glass of wine, knowing bui was watching him. Probably frightened over what's to come. He thought. He glanced at bui "So. Do you know why you're here?" he asked coolly as possible. I have to be aloof. It won't either of us good to show any emotion. He watched bui nod then heard him say 'because some asshole tried to hit on me!'

-I spoke to you in cautious tones you answered me with no pretense and still I feel I said too much my silence is my self defense-

Hiei had to hide another smirk at that. Bui obviously wasn't frightened enough to speak frankly. That was good and yet hiei was envious, he always felt that even a few word were too much...words could be used against you.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

-And every time I've held a rose it seems I only felt the thorns-

Bui was fuming. Every time. Every single damn time he had a semi handle on life something like this happens. "Then again." he muttered "At least I get to see the one I dream about again." His face paled

-And so it goes, and so it goes and so will you soon I suppose-

Bui couldn't believe he said that! He had admitted it. He had done it...'Oh NO!' was the only thing in his mind. He bowed his head and shut his eye, waiting...for what he had no idea.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

-But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake-

Hiei was not a man who was surprised easily. Growing up as a bandit and being known as the forbidden one seemed to cure you of that but, on the other hand. 'He's been dreaming of me?' He swallowed "You've been dreaming of me?" he managed to ask in his usual calm tone. He watched Bui nod. That's all it took. All of his desires and wants came to the surface. He would have this man.

-So I will share this room with you and you can have this heart to break-

Hiei walked right over to the taller man and kissed him hard the mouth.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

-And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen and so it goes, and so it goes and you're the only one who knows-

Shock. That was the only emotion that bui felt. The sudden kiss, bruising his lips, was scorching his throat. Making words impossible.

-So I would choose to be with you that's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too and you can have this heart to break-

Bui didn't fight. Even if it was just for one night, he wanted this; Hiei had defeated him twice now.

Once on the battlefield of power, And once on the battlefield of the heart.

-And so it goes, and so it goes and you're the only one who knows-

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

13 hours ago. It had been 13 hours ago since it had happened. The kiss, the kiss that had grown into more. Hiei stood at his window and looked out of it into the night sky that was fading into morning then sighed and looked at the now empty bed. 12 hours ago since THAT had happened. Well bui was better off. For just a moment he saw the hurt in bui's eyes when he said in a cold voice to get out because they were done. But he shook it off. Bui was better off. He was the forbidden one. No one was safe loving him.

That was when he felt something hot and itchy on his check and heard a small clink. He looked down.

It was a tear gem.

A/n: AH. Ani't angst grand? AGGH: Runs from a hail of sharp pointy things being thrown by Bui/Hiei fans:

Hiei: I think our fans are displeased onna!

Me: NO SHIT SHERLOCK!
