Get a Grip
Ch2: His Promise

We just got back from the funeral. Everybody else was down stairs, but I'm in my room isolating myself from everybody else. I couldn't stand the looks of pity they gave me. That is everbody except... Yukina.

~~knock knock~~~~

"Yeah?" I answered.

"Hiei?" The kitsune wondered. He walked in and closed the door behind him softly. For some reason when I looked him in the eye I felt tears begin to flow. I turned my face away from his view quickly. "Hiei?" Kurama reapeated.

"Everybody's gone?" I asked.

"Yes. Yusuke and Kuwabara went to get take out." He explained shortly. He walked over to the bed and sat down across from me on the bed's edge.I kept moving my face away from his sight. "Hiei?" He moved closer, I moved away, "Hiei why won't you look at me?"

"..." I didn't answer; I couldn't answer without him knowing.

"Hiei please tell me what's wrong." Kurama said.

"You want to know what's wrong? MY SISTER JUST DIED AND YOU HAVE TO ASK WHAT'S WRONG? DAMN IT KURAMA!" I fumed in anger. Kurama stared at me in shock.

"Hiei...I-I didn't..." He tried to speak but failed.

"OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T! BECAUSE NONE OF YOU ACTUALLY CARE!" I shouted without knowing why I was.

"Yes we do Hiei. How can you say that?" The kitsune wondered.

"OH YEAH? THAN WHY DID YA'LL JUST IGNORE ME HALF THE DAY AND NOT SAY YOU'RE SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED?" I raved.

"..."

"Yeah, that's what I thought." I muttered calming down a little. I looked at Kurama; that was the first I raised my voice at him since I told him I loved him. By the look on his face I could tell I had hurt him, deeply. "I'm sorry Kurama... I didn't mean to shout." I apologized.

"It's all right Hiei." He said looking at me with pain still in his eyes.

"No it's not all right. What's wrong is, I just lost Yukina and afraid I'm going to..." I trailed off; he was going think I was stupid.

"You're afraid you're going to what Hiei?" Kurama pressed

"I'm afraid I'm going to lose you too." I said staring into those emerald eyes that make me nervous and yet calm me at the same time.

"Hiei..." Kurama said. I looked away. He took my chin and forced me to look at him. I directed my eyes away from his, "Hiei look at me," I obeyed. "I swear to you Hiei I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be here for you. I'll always be here until the day you tell me to go away." He vowed.

"Why would you do that?" I asked.

"Because I love you Hiei." He said smiling gently as he leaned in and kissed me with his soft, smooth lips.

"I love you too Kurama." I whispered into the kiss and slowly fell asleep in my lover's tender embrace. "Thank you."

*sniff* so sweet. Please review. I hope you enjoyed.
