Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ 1 Week For Lost Love ❯ Shocking Secrets ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5--~Shocking Secrets~

*~*~*~*

"Your dead....Your dead...." Yusuke silently mouthed over and over again, still managing to look at Hiei.

Yusuke scanned him over, trying to make sure his brain was agreeing to the site before him.

"How the hell is this possible!? Your a damn ghost!!"

He gave his usual smirk, "Boo then."

The shocked Detective took a step back. "Holy shit....It really is you! But how!?

You were de-"

"Well it seems I'm not dead, as you insist on trying to prove." Hiei spoke to him matter-a-factly.

As Yusuke shook his head he bent down to pick up Kurama's personal itmes that he had dropped (thanks to the utter shock brought upon by Hiei). Then he turned to the door, walking out.

Hiei grabbed his cloak off the chair and through it over him, covering his body in black.

He proceeded to follow Yusuke but stopped when his foot hit an object lieing on the floor. Looking down it revealed to him a book, which had the word 'DIARY' written in Makai on it. He also saw many assorted kinds of rose stickers.

He picked it up."Hn. The Detective never was able to finish a job," giving a slight smirk to himself he shoved the Diary under his cloak, "well, properly atleast." Walking out he shut the door to Kurama's room.

Then down the familiar steps of Kurama's house and into the kitchen after Yusuke, just catching him finishing a glass of water.

Yusuke placed the empty glass in the sink, "Well. I didn't eat anything in that Hospital so I know your not an illusion." Yusuke quitely said to himself. Just as he was going over the thoughts in his head, one in percuiler struck him. "Ah! Hiei!"

He opened one eye to him.

"If your here then maybe Kurama can-"The loud ringing of the phone haulted Yusuke in mid-sentence. Signaling to Hiei 'One minute' he picked it up, silencing the annoying sound.

"Hello? Minamino residence, Yusuke Urameshi at your survace!"

Hiei waited patiently as Yusuke spoke. Coudn't help but raise an eye at his old friend's expressions either. After what seemed a good 5 minutes Yusuke hung the phone up, and remained silent.

Hiei waited a few minutes himself before speaking, quite unusual for him to be the first to speak. "What's wrong with him now?"

"Huh?" Yusuke faced him completely.

"I know by your actions Yusuke. What's wrong with Kurama?"

Yusuke's eyes went as wide as they could. "Y-You knew what happened?"

Hiei closed both his red eyes, letting his Jagan glow a light blue. "I see everything. Rememeber?"

".................He-He's in a coma."

"A what!?" All three of Hiei's eyes were focused on him.

"Kurama fell into a coma, just a few minutes ago too."

~Hospital~

Kazuma Kuwabara and the soon to be Yukina Kuwabara sat closely side-by-side in the quiet Waiting Room. Both seeming to be to caught in their thoughts to say a word. Even if they were engaged.

Kuwabara watched the minutes pass as the slight tick tock of the clock filled the room.

"Yukina?" Kuwabara had to break the silence before he himself went insane.

"Yes Kazuma?" Yukina asked, looking to her fiance. Kuwabara could tell Yukina was trying to hold back tears.

"Hey no crying here." Kuwabara quickly wiped away the glistening under her eyes. He knew all to well what attention it would attract if her tears fell.

"Kazuma, is Kurama going to alright?"

Kuwabara sighed, "I can't lie to you my love. I honestly don't know what will happen. For all we know they could come in here with the bad news and-"

"Great way to stay positive Kuwabara." A voice was heard after the Waiting Room door creaked open.

"Urameshi you know as well as I do that could happen." Kuwabara stated, his eyes refusing to face him.

"Uhh...Uhh K-Kazuma.....That's not Yusuke......" Yukina shook her fiance's shoulder forcing him to look up.

"Seems your brain power hasen't improved as much as I thought it would've." Laid before them both was a sight unreal. A sight to familiar, and so hard to forget.

The way Hiei stood before them, black cloak and all. Yukina was not able to hold in her joy as she ran towards her very much missed brother. Hugging him as tight as she possibly could.

"Have you been treating my sister well Kuwabara?" Hiei asked with a slight glare in his eyes. Ready to make a strike at any wrong word Hiei though he might say.

All Kuwabara did was smile and stand up. "Well enough to become in-laws."

"Excuse me?"

"Congrats! On the first good news of your return Hiei!" Yusuke said with an ear-to-ear grin on his face. Laughing as he walked fully into the room.

Hiei tightened his grip onto Yukina. "Say those foul words again....And I'll sign your death wish."

Pulling herself away, Yukina lightly smacked him on the shoulder. "You have not changed one bit you know?"

Hiei looked into Yukina's eyes. "Niether have you," He bent over to her ear, whispering inside it, "if your getting married just remember. You sleep in the bed, he's in the cage."

"Hiei!!"Yukina concked Hiei as hard as she could over the head.

Yusuke was laughing his ass off, having heard the words. And Kuwabara, as always, was the one who never knew what the hell was going on.

"Uch-hum!" Everyone fell silent as they looked to the door. There stood Dr. Siaru with more or less an unpleasent look on her face. And Mrs. Minamino, looked at them all with a tear-stained face.

Siaru placed her hand on Shiori's shoulder. "I assmue you all know the main reason why your here?"

Everyone shook their heads as Siaru took her hand off Shiori, walked up and stuck it out to Yusuke.

"We however, were not properly introduced. I'm Dr. Shinoka Siaru, I used to be Shuichi Minamino's doctor."

Yusuke placed his hand in hers. "Yusuke Urameshi."

Hiei stepped in. "You said Shuichi was in a coma. What else seems to be the problem?"

Siaru glanced hard at the red-eyed dark clothed boy. "Who, exactly, are you?"

"That's Hiei," Shiori stated before Hiei had a chance, "your back..........Shuichi will be so happy."

"Please Mrs. Minamino, "Siaru walked to the middle of the room, "everyone, I have some things I need to state." All eyes turned to her. "Listen....Shuichi being in a coma....Is a major weight off doctors' shoulders."

Yusuke raised an eye. "What's that supposed to mean? I thought you guys feared if your patience slipped out of your grasp."

"Yusuke! Shuichi shouldn't even be breathing! It's only by a miracle that he's still alive!

Look.....I recieved a telephone call from the Sheriff at the Police Dept.

And he gave me some rather shocking news............They questioned the driver of the bus that hit Shuichi. And found out that-that he was intoxicated at the time."

"What!?" Yusuke screamed in an outburst. "Your telling me that bastard was driving drunk!?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying Yusuke. When your under the influence you can't really tell how fast you are going, if your even going at all. But many passengers had complained after the accident that the driver was going way to fast for comfort......And he was.......That bus hit Shuichi going 20 miles an hour over the speedlimit."

Hiei was extremely pist at the statement and reached for the sword he didn't have. "I was aggrivated as well Hiei, just calm down." Giving a slight curse to himself he let Siaru continue. " The driver is in jail for not only hitting Shuich, but for putting everyone elses' lives on that bus in danger. And, unfortuantly I'm not done either."

Yukina tried to hold back tears as she held onto Kuwabara. "What else could there possibly be!?"

"Just one more. And it's something I want everyone to listen hard to, because I know Shiori has.

When I was doing emeregency surgery on Shuichi.....I found something I didn't expect from a person like him." Siaru fell silent.

Yusuke who was becoming agravated himself, screamed out. "Stop leaving us in goddamn suspence and just tell us!"

Siaru just looked up and nodded. Replying by rolling up her sleeves, revealing her wrists. "I found slash marks on his wrists and upper arms, not to old ones either. And I can't even come close to thinking of the reason why. But I want to know why Shuichi has suddenly turned into, what we call, a Cutter. More importantly why he has tried to kill himself."

Yusuke blinked, swallowing hard at her words. Then he looked to Hiei, who seemed to be having an equally hard time as well, understanding the truth of what was told. Not taking his eyes off the demon he thought to himself.

//I don't know Yusuke. Should you tell her the reason is right in front of her!?//

The thought of Hiei, being the one who caused this was to unreal to beleive, but Yusuke knew deep down the horrible truth. Looking to the doctor, he breathed in deep, "Siaru?"

She looked at him, both eyes focused.

"..........." Hiei looked at Yusuke, who seemed to be unable to speak his words. ".....Can we see him?"

Siaru nodded and started speaking about miscellanious rules. Rules of which Hiei blocked out....

For when he glanced at the clock, ticking the minutes away......

He realized that in just 10 minutes....That clock would strike 12....

''But let me dread some caution on you Hiei, I'm giving you 1 week. Then I wish for you to return to me."

Then day 2...Would begin.

*~*~*~*

Hiei was the first to walk into that cold Hospital room, in which Shuichi Minamino, or who he knew as Kurama, lied. Closing the door behind him, all three of his eyes refused to open to the site.

But when they did.....It was a sight unreal, that Hiei still gasped at.

Kurama lied in the bed, as pale as the sheets that lie on his body. Countless machines were hooked up to him, and beeping, sybolizing things Hiei could not understand. Many tubes with liquids were stuck in his arms, from IV fluid...To blood. But the thing Hiei reconized most of all...Was his face.

When Hiei walked to his side, he could here the faint gasping breathes of Kurama beneath the oxygen mask. Seeing how, even in a coma, his brow was carressed in pain. Removing some fallen blood-stained bangs from his face. Hiei looked closely at his face, as if expecting to see his green eyes open once again.

But they didn't....And they probably weren't going to again....

Pulling up a chair from the corner, Hiei sat as close as he could to the bed. Bending down slightly to his side, Hiei grasped his old friend's hand in his. //Is this why you came back Hiei......? To watch him die?//

Just as Hiei was thinking, listening closely to Kurama's breathing, and the machine bleeps around him. A slight thud broke him from the trance, glancing his eyes to the source, Hiei saw the diary he had stored in his cloak.

Grabbing it, Hiei leaned back, letting go of Kurama's hand. He read the cover once more. And opened it slightly. Preparing himself for a long night of reading.

I'll try and have Chapter 6 up soon if you all want! ^_~
