Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Blades and Blood Petals ❯ Here Without You ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own yyh.

Summary: ok here's ANOTHER songfic. And this is where it gets kinda confusing, so let me try to explain this the best I can. At the request of Night Fox Hiten, who reviews my fics and I luv her for it ^_~, this songfic is in my songfic series which I started. But this one goes in between Un-Break My Heart and Taking Over Me. So the order of the songfics are this: Un-Break My Heart, Here Without You, and Taking Over Me. And the reason this is like this is because NFH thinks it would be cool if I wrote about the whole earthquake incident that caused Kurama to loose his memory in Taking Over Me. So, here it is, the prequel for Taking Over Me, and the REAL sequel for Un-Break My Heart ^_^

::Thoughts::

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"

Kurama rolled over onto his side to cease the irritating beeping that was informing that it was time start another day. Slamming his fist onto the alarm clock, he sat up and rubbed his eyes. Hiei opened his eyes lazily next to him.

"Wha? Is it time to get up already?"

"According to my clock it is, according to my brain we still have another ten hours left."

Hiei sat up. "Do you really have to go to…what was it called? Pool?"

Kurama laughed. "School Hiei, school. And yes I have to go to school, unfortunately. I wish I could spend my whole day with you, I really do."

"Why don't you just not go to school then?"

"Because I wish to please Kaasan. It's the least I can do, considering I took over her son Shuichi."

"Still, I don't see why you have to spend half your life sitting in some room with a stupid teacher and equally stupid children learning about non important subjects, and then when you finally get home eight hours later you have to finish homework. And then once you finish that you're too tired to do anything fun! It's not fair," he complained

Kurama laughed. "I agree, ningens do have a strange idea of what is important to know and what isn't. Oh, I'm sorry Hiei, have I been boring you? Shall I pay MORE attention to you and get even less sleep?" he said winking

"Hn. No, because then you're cranky the next day."

Kurama laughed again. "Then stop complaining! Or I might just carry out your suggestions."

That said, he got out of bed, got dressed, brushed his hair, and on the way out grabbed a Poptart for breakfast. Meanwhile, Hiei still sat on the bed, looking out the window to see Kurama walking down the street carrying his backpack and munching on his breakfast. ::Fox, why are we never together during the day? I wish we could be together more.:: he thought sadly to himself as he continued to watch his lover strolling down the street to his school. Once his figure had completely disappeared, the fire demon lay back down and fell asleep, dreaming of his beloved fox.

A hundred days have made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate

They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

After walking for ten minutes Kurama finally entered his school grounds. He winced, and prepared himself for the attack.

"SHUICHI'S HERE!!! SHUICHI'S HERE!!" a girl screamed. That's when they all began to flock over to surround him.

"SHUICHI I LOVE YOU!"

"SHUICHI WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME?"

"SHUICHI WILL YOU GO GET COFFEE OR SOMETHING AFTER SCHOOL?"

All those questions and statements were shouted in his face, along with countless others. He smiled weakly. "I'm sorry, I'm taken."

The girls' faces fell as he walked past them and towards his first period, which was English. On his way he could still hear them whispering amongst one another.

"He's taken? Does that mean another girl got him already? I wonder who the lucky girl is," spoke a girl with long black hair with pink streaks.

"I bet it's a model or some other famous girl. You have to be gorgeous for Shuichi to go out with you," stated one of the American exchange students.

Kurama smiled and chuckled at their comments. ::I wonder what their faces would look like if I told them that I was in love with a man who was a demon who had murdered countless beings.:: he thought chuckling again as he entered his classroom and sat at his desk in the center of the room.

A minute later the peaceful silence of the empty classroom was broken when his classmates began flocking in, and a few minutes after that the teacher, who was an American by the name of Mr. Thompson, entered. He was a short, slightly chubby man who reminded Kurama of a weasel. His balding head shone in the light, and what was left of his mousy-grey hair was greased and combed, so that one could still see the teeth marks the comb made. Setting his books and papers onto his desk, he began to speak in English.

"Good morning class. Today we shall begin to learn about adverbs. Who can tell me what an adverb is?"

The exchange student from earlier, who had brown hair and blue eyes and whose name was Allie, raised her hand. "An adverb is a word that describes a verb. Most adverbs also end in `ly'," she added.

"Very good. Now that you all know what an adverb is, who can say a sentence using an adverb?"

Kurama raised his hand this time. "I walked quickly to school this morning," he said in flawless English.

Mr. Thompson smiled at his favorite student. "Very good Shuichi. That was perfect. Now, anyone else?"

The other exchange student, who had brown hair and blue eyes as well, and could easily be mistaken for Allie's older brother, except for the fact that his skin was several shades darker then hers spoke. "I slowly walked to class to annoy Allie," Matt stated which earned him a slap on the shoulder from his girlfriend.

Seeing that he no longer needed to pay attention to the lesson, Kurama began to day dream about his lover, who was probably asleep on his bed at that very moment. ::Hiei, if only we could be together every second of everyday for the rest of our lives. That would be pure paradise.:: he thought with a faint smile. Just as he finished this last thought the ground beneath him began to shake. The last thing he heard was the surprised shrieks of his classmates and Mr. Thompson shouting "earthquake" before he felt something hard hit his head and then the world became black.

I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight, there's only you and me

Hiei was woken from his deep sleep as he felt the bed beneath him shake violently. The instant he awoke he was thrown off the bed, and only be covering his head with his forearms was he able to avoid the lamp that stood beside the bed from smashing into the back of his skull. After a moment the earth ceased its shaking, and Hiei slowly rose from the floor. He looked at his forearms, which were covered in gashes from the broken lamp. He watched as they closed and healed before his eyes. He smirked. ::This is why I love being a demon. I heal instantly, unlike those weak ningens.::

His head snapped up when he felt suddenly fearful of his lover's wellbeing. ::Kurama may be a demon, but he is still in a human body. The only reason he is still alive from when he dove in front of my blade that was meant for Yusuke is because I transferred some of my power to him so he could heal. If anything has happened to him…:: He quickly ripped off the white bandana that covered his Jagan. Closing his red eyes, he let his artificial purple eye see through the walls of Kurama's house, and to Kurama's school. He gasped at what he saw.

"KURAMA!!!! NO!!!!"

He quickly bolted out the house by way of the window, and in an instant he was at Kurama's school. Quickly tying his bandana around his forehead to conceal his third eye, he ran at human pace through the hallways, jumping over fallen rubble every other step. ::damn, this building was not structured to take on an earthquake of this magnitude. It's shocking that this hasn't happened before.:: He glanced through the windows of some classrooms that he passed, and saw that rubble had fallen onto many of the students. His thoughts then moved to his lover, who he had seen through the Jagan, lying unconscious on the ground with a large slab of the ceiling lying near his head. ::Kurama, please be ok. Please don't be dead. I can't go on if you are dead!::

After turning another corner he finally reached Kurama's classroom. He threw open the door to see that Kurama was not the only casualty in the room. The exchange students, Allie and Matt, were both lying on the ground hugging each other. He moved to Kurama first. Gently pulling his lover off of the ground, he put his ear close to his mouth. Kurama was breathing.

"Thank Inari!" he said with a sigh of relief.

Picking his lover up and cradling him to his chest, Hiei then walked over to the two exchange students, and was just about to check their pulses when he saw a small trickle of blood flowing on the ground underneath them. ::Dead. They died in each others arms.:: he thought, while his eyes looking sadly upon the young couple. Kurama moaned in his arms as he was about to move to another student, a black haired boy who had a large gash on the top of his head. Realizing that the other students would be looked after, Hiei ran out of the room, and headed at full speed to the nearest hospital, which was ten miles away. ::hold on Kurama, you're almost safe::

The miles just keep rolling as the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated but I hope that this gets better as we go

Hiei staggered and nearly fell on the last mile to the hospital when an aftershock rocked the earth beneath him. It lasted only five seconds, and was much weaker than the previous one, so Hiei did not fall. Finally reaching the hospital, he threw open the doors and rushed in to the front desk. All he managed to say while he was attempting to catch his breath was "Shuichi….head…ceiling……please help him…"

The nurse quickly understood, and called for a stretcher and doctor. In another moment Kurama was taken from Hiei's arms and rushed away into the emergency room, leaving Hiei alone in the waiting room. The nurse spoke again when he finally recovered his breath.

"What is his full name, and does he have any relations that we need to contact to inform them of his injuries?"

"His name is Minamino Shuichi, and you can contact his mother Minamino Shuichi at this number," he said while writing down the number for Shiori's cell phone.

"Thank you sir. I'm hope your friend will be ok."

"So do I."

I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl, there's only you and me

Twenty minutes later Shiori arrived at the hospital in a panic. She rushed over to the nurse at the front desk. "Is he ok? Is my boy ok?"

"Please calm down ma'am. What is your son's name?"

"Minamino Shuichi."

She looked down at her list of patients. "He is being treated in the emergency room as we speak, Mrs. Minamino. The doctor should be out in a few moments, so you should wait here."

"Thank you so much. Tell me, who brought him here?"

"That young man over there," she replied pointing at Hiei, who was sitting in the chair hugging his knees to his chest.

Shiori walked over and sat down next to him. "Thank you so much for bringing my son here. May I ask what your name is?"

"My name is Hiei, and I'm one of Shuichi's close friends."

::Hiei. So this is the one that Shuichi talks of so much. The one who he loves.:: Shiori thought to herself. "Are you in love with my son?" she asked bluntly.

Hiei's head snapped up. "How…." He stuttered.

Shiori smiled. "Shuichi talks of you in a loving way so much, it is not hard for a mother to recognize that he loves you. But I wonder, do you return his feelings? Or is he just a `close friend' as you put it?"

Hie blushed. "Yes, I love him. I did not think that you would accept it, so I lied. I am sorry."

Shiori smiled again. "I am not angry. I am glad that Kurama has finally found someone else to love other than me, as I will not be there for him for much longer."

Before Hiei could question her about this statement, the doctor walked into the waiting room.

"I am pleased to inform that Mr. Minamino hasn't sustained any serious injuries, and his life is in no danger. In fact, he can go home today."

Shiori and Hiei sighed in relief. "Oh thank goodness" Shiori said.

The doctor continued. "However, there is some bad news. He was hit on his head very hard, and he is now suffering from amnesia. I'm sorry."

Shiori's eyes welled with tears. "Will he ever regain his memory?"

"It is hard to say. It is highly probable that he will, however there is a chance that he may not. I'm sorry."

Shiori burst into tears, while Hiei just sat there in stunned silence.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go

It gets hard but it won't take away my love

And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done

It gets hard but it won't take away my love

After a moment Shiori looked up. "Hiei, you should probably go to our home, and wait there. I'll stay here and take Shuichi home when he's ready."

Hiei looked at her. "May I see him before I leave?"

Shiori looked to the doctor. The doctor shrugged. "I don't see why not. He's still asleep though. If you wish to see him, follow me."

Shiori and Hiei stood and followed the doctor out of the waiting room, and down a long hall. At the very end of the hall they stopped, and the doctor opened the door labeled 2116. He held it open as the two entered the room to see Kurama lying on a bed sleeping peacefully. The doctor turned to them. "I'll leave you two here. Feel free to take as long as you need. Once he wakes he is free to leave."

"Thank you doctor. You have been very kind." Shiori said as he left.

Hiei walked over to the side of the bed and sat on a chair that was placed there. Upon sitting, he tenderly took Shuichi's hand into his own. ::Kurama, how could this be? How can you have lost your memory?:: "Why did you have to go to school today Kurama! I told you not to go!" he said while bending his head and he began to weep.

Shiori was shocked to see that the boy's tears hardened into small, black stones as they fell from his face. After a moment she also realized that he had not called him Shuichi, but instead Kurama. "Kurama?" she questioned.

Hiei looked up. "It's a nickname that his close friends call him by."

Shiori nodded and fell silent, watching her son's lover watching him sleep, still holding his hand. After a few more moments, he stood. "I think I will go and wait at home now. He's all yours."

Shiori looked at him gratefully. "Thank you Hiei. I promise to bring him home as soon as I can."

With that he walked out of the room, and out of the hospital. Once he was in the street he turned and looked to the window where Kurama was. "Ai shiteru, koi," he whispered before flickering away.

I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl, there's only you and me

Upon returning to the Minamino home, Hiei slipped in silently through Kurama's bedroom window. Once inside he sat down upon the bed, and once again put his face in his hands an wept.

Back at the hospital, Shiori picked up one of the small black stones that Hiei had cried. Upon closer inspection she noticed that it was shaped like a tear. ::A black tear gem. How very beautiful:: she thought to herself. Beside her, Kurama began to stir. Looking over at him, she watched as he slowly opened his eyes. "Where….where am I?" he looked over to Shiori. "Excuse me ma'am, could you be so kind as to tell me where we are?"

Darkdemonchild: awwww poor Hiei. Poor me! I killed myself in the fic! Lol. I just love to sneak in myself and my friends into these fics. It's just so much fun! ^_^. Well, anyway, you all know what happens from Taking Over Me. Sorry that this series is so confusing. Well, anyway, please review! ^_~
