Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Angered Fox Within Me Part One: Blissful Ignorance ❯ Revelations ( Chapter 5 )
A/N- Thanks for the review KuramasBlueGirl, I really appreciate it. I got this chapter up faster because it seems my writers block is gone. However, I am moving to Hagerstown in a few weeks and I wanted to get this up before then. I don't know when I'll be able to post after that, so there's probably going to be another long delay and I am really sorry about that.
Disclaimer- I sold out and gave you one last time, but not this time. So just go back and see if you want to know so badly.
Warning- No lemon, but some cursing and something that you guys might hate me for.
Summary for Story- Kurama makes a decision that affects everyone's memories. He doesn't know Hiei (who goes to ningen school) and meets a transfer from Ireland. (I don't know why I like them meeting foreign girls but I do) They become friends and soon more but time after time they are pulled apart. Cliffhanger at end to be answered in part two. I hope this isn't too boring for you guys.
Summary for Chapter- Blaine has come to win Alana back, and he reveals a fact about her that threatens her relationship with Kurama.
"YOU WHAT!?" Kurama shouted at Blaine's revelation.
Alana walked into the room and looked from Kurama to Blaine. The second shoe had finally dropped.
So what did Blaine tell Kurama and how will it change his feelings for Alana?
Chapter Five
Revelations
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Nice to meet you Blaine," Kurama said as they released each other's hands.
"The pleasure is mine Shuiichi. Alana has just told me so much about you." He looked at Alana with longing and Kurama couldn't blame him, he just didn't like anyone looking at her like that.
"She's told me nothing about you." Kurama's eyes narrowed and his voice was cold.
Alana noticed the sudden change and stepped between the two. "Well, why don't we all go for ice cream and you two can get to know one another?" She nodded and smiled, dreading a fight between them. They consented but said nothing as they walked to the parlor.
Kurama noticed that Alana was trying hard to make both of them enjoy themselves. She looked like a complete mess by the end of the afternoon. Her hair was disheveled, but not in the delicious way Kurama enjoyed. He blamed Blaine for her discomfort.
The three decided to go skating. Kurama moderately enjoyed himself this time, for Alana's sake. He was civil and tried to warm up to Blaine, but he had this sense that Blaine was going to try to get Alana back in his arms, and Kurama had no intention of letting that happen. They stopped skating to get some drinks. "Where are you staying Blaine?" Kurama asked, trying to make friendly conversation. Alana didn't seem so distressed any more and he would do all he could to keep it that way.
Blaine, smugly sat back in his chair and looked at Alana in a way that made her blush and scoot closer to Kurama. "Alana's parents offered to put me up while I'm here. I'll be staying at her house."
Kurama felt his blood boil as his anger rose, along with his spirit energy. In the distance he heard glass breaking and knew it was his doing. "Lovely," he said calmly, despite his anger. Only Alana could tell the difference. She put a hand on his arm and began to stroke it, trying to calm him down.
A shadow of her normal grin crossed her face. "Our parents were good friends back in Ireland and don't really have the money for a hotel. Not that my parents would have stood for it anyway. They're very generous people." She thought to herself, 'The first shoe's dropped. I just hope Blaine doesn't drop the second.'
He got the hint that Alana didn't want Blaine in her house any more that he did so he tried to let it go. "Are you still coming over for dinner Shu-chan?"
His body unclenched when she called him that and a small smile crossed his lips. "Of course. I wouldn't want to impose since you have a guest, but your parents did invite me and it would be rude to cancel now."
Blaine's eyes narrowed and met Kurama's. Blaine had hoped that Kurama would back down and not want to be anywhere near him during his stay, but he hadn't figured that he'd just not want to leave Alana's side while Blaine was there. The stare down ended with Alana pulling Kurama into the skating rink for the couple's skate. She noticed he finally wasn't tense, and she had every intention of making this fiasco up to him after Blaine left.
"You know Shuiichi, my parents didn't even tell me he was coming until this afternoon when they showed up at my school with him. They told me I had to show him around or else I would've tried to duck out of it." She tried to force a smile but he shook his head.
"There's no need to pretend to be happy about this Alana. I understand and I don't blame you. I'll deal with him as long as he's here, because he doesn't have what I have. He doesn't have you." He put an arm around her and she sighed, finally starting to relax.
The dinner went well. Blaine sat on one side of Alana and Kurama on the other. Her parents sensed the tenseness in the air. After dinner Alana helped her parents clear the table, leaving Kurama and Blaine alone, something she would come to regret doing.
"So, she's really got a new boyfriend after all. I didn't think she'd actually do it." Blaine started off. Kurama strongly disliked his smugness and didn't trust himself to speak.
"You know..." Blaine continued, "I convinced her that if she didn't have a new boyfriend within two weeks of her being here she'd have to try the long-distance thing with me. Sure enough, she goes out and gets the first pretty face she sees! Damn, that girl's afraid of commitment. I'm amazed she's kept you on for over a month already."
Kurama tilted his head. "She hasn't been with me for even a month, only about three weeks really. We were kind of together for a couple days but not as an item, more as friends, so more like a little over two weeks. She first went out with a fool that nobody gives the time of day to." Then it all made sense in his mind. Alana had only dated Kuwabara so she didn't lie when her two weeks were up to get a new boyfriend. He knew her well enough that she hated lying and now he understood everything. He shook it off in his mind, she was his now. "I was wondering why she would date the fool, now I know. Anyway, she and I have been together since then and trust me, she has no fear of commitment. Did you ever consider to take into account that it was just you she didn't want to commit to?"
Blaine smirked and Kurama knew something bad was about to happen. "Oh, she committed to me all right. It took convincing for us to go steady, but steady she went in the end. We were together for two years, did she tell you that yet?"
Kurama didn't like where this was going. "No, like I said, she hasn't mentioned you ever before."
Blaine's smirk grew more smug and Kurama felt he should leave, but he wanted to hear this out, and know what caused the two to break up. As if reading his mind Blaine said, "She broke up with me about two weeks before her parents announced the move. I still don't know her real reasons, but I assume it had something to do with our two year anniversary that had been a few weeks before."
Knowing he shouldn't ask, but being unable to help himself he did, "What happened on your two year anniversary?"
"Nothing much," Blaine said, a happy glint in his eyes as he remembered that day. "I recreated the day we agreed to go steady, which is also the day we considered ourselves boyfriend and girlfriend. I took her to the beach, we played volleyball, I had our portrait painted, and then we went to our cabin."
"Your cabin?"
"Yes, the cabin we made love in for the first time, the night we began to go steady." Blaine had an evil grin on his face. "I assume she didn't like the video equipment I had set up that evening."
All his blood rushed to his ears. He had to have misheard Blaine. "Did you say that you and Alana..."
Blaine nodded. "I was her first, though she wasn't mine, she knew that. During our two years I gave her more than enough experience to satisfy most anyone, and at the two year mark I had an idea she didn't like. Oh well."
Kurama didn't hear most of what Blaine said, just the part about him being Alana's first. But he still didn't believe it. He would later reflect on this moment and discover that he had to be a masochist. "You mean to tell me, that you..."
"Yes, I took Alana's virginity." Blaine completed.
Kurama erupted from his chair. "YOU WHAT!?" Kurama shouted at Blaine's revelation.
Alana walked into the room and looked from Kurama to Blaine. 'The second shoe has finally dropped.' She thought to herself.
Kurama looked from Blaine to Alana. Alana looked shocked and Blaine looked as if he was enjoying himself. Kurama, too angry to say another word, grabbed his jacket and stormed out of the house before Alana could say a word to him. 'I don't want to hear what that dirty slut has to say,' he told himself.
Alana trotted after Kurama calling him back but he couldn't hear her. She rounded on Blaine. "YOU FOUL, ROTTEN, DISGUSTING, FILTHY EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN! I HATE YOU AND HOPE YOU ROT IN FUCKING HELL!" Alana raced out the door after Kurama, ignoring her jacket and her parents calling after her.
He was walking with his feet pounding into the ground, almost hard enough to shatter his shins. She was running, as lightly as possible, with her feet barely staying on the ground longer than an eighth of second. She caught up with him quickly. "Shuiichi," she called as she gained on him. "Wait, please! What did he say? I can explain it all!"
He turned on her and his eyes showed his anger more than anything, but she did not flinch, she stared into him, as calmly as possible. "He fucked you," was all Kurama could manage to say.
Alana nodded, accepting his crudeness. "Yes he did. I was younger, and much more stupid. I thought it was what I was supposed to do with him, it's what the other girls did and so I went along. I finally realized I didn't have to do what everyone else was doing and told him before our second anniversary that I didn't want to anymore. He didn't listen and that night tried to get me to sleep with him.
"I said no, and he disgusted me by having recording equipment there. I dumped him shortly after. I bet he didn't tell you that I told him no, I bet he didn't tell you that I told him I wasn't ready those times before. I didn't feel comfortable with him Shu-chan. He was my first real boyfriend and I made a terrible mistake. Everyone has a history of some kind, unless you meet a virgin whose parents don't let them date."
She finished her story and Kurama's glare deepened. "He fucked you, and you didn't tell me. You let me believe I was your first."
She shook her head. "No Shuiichi, I never told you I was a virgin when you met me. I told you I didn't sleep with Kuwabara. You never asked if I'd been with anyone else or ever had sex before. You know how I am with that information, ask or don't be told."
He turned from her. "This is the kind of information you tell someone. Especially if you're in a committed relationship. If you didn't want to tell me before we were together intimately, you sure as hell should have fucking told me after."
She hugged him from behind. "Yes, I see that now. I should have said something. I was afraid Shuiichi. I didn't know what your views on that were, and I had plans of telling you everything, but it wasn't time yet."
He turned around again and pushed himself free from her embrace. "When the hell would it have been the fucking right time Alana? When? When were you going to tell me that you'd been lying."
"I already went through this, I never lied. I just didn't offer the information."
He glared. "That's just as bad as lying about it."
She was getting angry now. "Fine," she said as she crossed her arms over her chest. He noted they were covered in goose bumps and her breath was showing, he was almost tempted to give her his jacket, but he was too furious. "Okay, so what I did was just as bad as lying. Tell me Shuiichi, were you a virgin? Because, you never told me. Isn't that the same as what I did? And I know there are other secrets you aren't telling me. What about them?"
His jaw dropped, she was trying to turn this around on him. "Do not make me the bad guy here Alana, this isn't about me!"
Her hands flew to her hips and her voice raised to a shrill sound that almost made him want to cower. "YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE! YOU RIDE MY ASS ABOUT NOT SHARING MY PAST AND DON'T EVEN OFFER YOUR OWN! THAT'S A FUCKING DOUBLE STANDARD YOU BASTARD! IF I CAN BE GUILTY OF THAT, THEN SO CAN YOU!"
Kurama now refused to back down. "That's different-"
Alana cut him off. "Tell me how it's different! Say it! It's because you're a guy, so your past doesn't matter, but since I'm a girl it applies to me. Go on, that's what you mean isn't it? That since you're of the male gender, the same rules don't apply? Go on! Say it you self righteous asshole!"
Kurama blew his top. "YOU STUPID BITCH! I DON'T HAVE TO STAND HERE AND TAKE THIS!"
He turned to leave but she grabbed hold of his arm. She couldn't have cared less about the people that had heard their argument and came out on their porch's to watch the fight. She couldn't have cared less about anything at that point. "I'm not a bitch you jackass. You're the one who can't control his jealousy and won't accept that he's a hypocrite. You can't blame me for something you did as well. So I didn't tell you that I made a mistake and fucked my last boyfriend.
"Tell me this, if I had told you, if I'd told you that I thought it was a huge mistake and I regretted it because I was so young and stupid, even though this was only three months ago, what would you have thought about what we did Shuiichi? Wouldn't you have wondered if all I was doing with you was a rebound, or an attempt to justify my past to myself? Because it wasn't. I never felt more ready to be intimate then when I was with you that day. You're the one I care about, and that's why I didn't tell you, because I didn't want to risk losing you." He didn't say anything at all. But Alana got his meaning, she was right about what he would've thought.
"That's what I thought Shuiichi," she said and let go of his arm. "You're right, you don't have to stand here and take this. But if you love me, like you said you do, then you would. Because this," she said indicating her entire self, "is the whole package. This is all I can give you and if that's not good enough for you, then maybe it is best that you walked out tonight, and maybe it is best that you can't take it. Maybe what we had was a mistake after all." She turned and walked away from him, hoping against hope that he'd call after her. He didn't. She had the opportunity to fester in her anger, and for the rest of that night she was glad he hadn't and never wanted to see him again.
Kurama walked home after he watched her turn the corner to return to her home. The people that had been watching slowly returned inside their homes. Part of Kurama wanted to run after her. To shower her face with kisses and take her there in the road. But the stronger part of him, his pride mixed with ego, refused to allow his body to move in that direction. It was really over between them, and he wouldn't try to change that. In his mind, he was right and she was wrong. There was nothing that could bring him back.
