Conscience
Chapter three- What Happens Next
By Otaku Freak Kiken
The towel, saturated with crimson bitterness, was slowly being unwrapped from the fire demon’s slashed arm. Tears welled up in the fox’s eyes. His friend, the most aloof of the whole team, just sincerely smiled and closed his eyes as he fell limp on his bed. It couldn’t be true. This just couldn’t be real. Hiei wasn’t... No, he mustn’t even think of such things. His mind was in such a mess, quite a daze, that he forgot one vital thing.
He sorrowfully arranged the small body in a proper position, and pulled the covers just over his chest. He wasn’t sure if he should even try to treat him, for fear that it would just be a waste of time. He sighs so shallowly that it could pass as a start of a cry. Which, in fact, it did start. Kurama sat on his own bed, covering his face with his hands, as he let tears slide from his eyes. The moisture flowing into his palms dampened the front of his clothes. He didn’t care.
A slight rap on the hotel room door made him abruptly stop. He panicked for a moment, not knowing what to tell the others. He bit his bottom lip as he rose. Wiping the tears away from his eyes and cheeks, he slowly made his way towards the door. He opened it slightly, then smiled pathetically. “Hello...” he sniffed, “What’re you doing here?”
“Kurama? Were you... CRYING?” A shocked Yusuke stares into the eyes of the sad-faced demon, and looks over at his taller friend.
“Yusuke, I...” Kurama starts, but he looks away in distress. He tries not to make eye contact with either of them.
“We just wanted to know why your sodas were dropped on the floor... but it looks like there’s something even more serious than sodas that’s concerning you.” Yusuke eyed the poor fox, then struck a look of question and worry on his face. “Kurama, where’s Hiei?”
“He’s...” Kurama pulled his hands up to his face once more, and his breathing became rapid. He revealed the wet front of his shirt, but not only was it wet from tears, it also was stained with the blood of his friend.
“Yusuke!” Kuwabara whispered to his rival, “... There’s blood all over him!” His worried glances over at Kurama made him start to cry again. Kuwabara’s looks stopped abruptly afterwards. “Sorry...”
“Kurama, why’s there blood drenched all over you?” Yusuke pulled the hands away from the fox’s face, then sternly looked at him. “Please, tell me what happened.”
“Hiei... he...” Kurama quivered his bottom lip and looked as though he would weep once again, but Kuwabara placed his hand on his shoulder.
“C’mon, you can tell us...” The tall red head had a sympathetic look in his eyes, and the tone he used was quite unlike him.
Kurama timidly stepped back inside, letting the door stay open. He stood right in front of the bed where his friend was laying, and he stared at the floor.
Yusuke and Kuwabara slowly stepped inside the room, closing the door as they walked over to the demon’s side. “Oh, hell no...” The blood that drained from the fire demon’s wound was to be seen all over the bed, floor, and the surrounding items on the floor. Disgust and awe rampaged through the two teens. They could only wonder who supplied the gore.
Kurama looked up at Yusuke, the saddest emotion anyone had ever seen spread on his face, and said, “It’s Hiei’s blood.”
Kuwabara clenched his fists as he stared at the small, supposedly sleeping demon in the bed. “No... Shorty...”
“What happened to him?” Yusuke was welling tears up in his eyes.
“He... slashed his arm... On purpose.” The fox was keeping a straight face as he stared into nothing.
The two teens gasped and gazed over at the bed Hiei was on. They could never imagine such a thing. I mean, it wasn’t far from believing, but he wouldn’t kill himself from their understanding. They looked away and sighed.
“Are you sure he’s... ya know...” Yusuke still had a fazed face.
“I... couldn’t bare to check... Kuwabara, will you?” The fox was covering his face yet again, only so he could prepare for the worst.
“I... guess... Poor Shrimp. Man, now that I think about it, I feel really bad about calling him all those names... He was actually kinda cool. This... makes me feel horrible... I wish I would’ve been nicer to him...” Kuwabara knelt beside the bed.
“It’s even making Kuwabara sad... He’s actually upset about not being nice to Short Stuff... If he’s dead, I’m really gonna miss him, ya know? He was growin’ on me...” Yusuke covered his face also. He could possibly cry about this. This was serious.
“I just feel so bad that he didn’t make better use of his life... We barely even knew him... Even I barely knew him, and I was his closest friend...” Kurama shook his head in pity, still shrouding his face from the other two.
“Um... guys...” The teen looked up, face slightly damp from a couple tears, at the other two. His expression was uncertain. His face was emotionless. They couldn’t read it at all.
“What is it, Kazuma?” Kurama was turning away from them as he asked that. He knew it was all too real.
“C’mon, buddy... let us know...” Yusuke, the toughest punk of his whole school, actually shed a tear.
“He’s...” he paused, trying to hide his true feelings, “... He’s... alive ‘n kickin’!” He jumped up, smiling. “He’s got a pulse! Pipsqueak’s breathing, too!”
“Oh, thank heaven...” Kurama uncovered his face and smiled. “... I’m so glad he’s alive...” He sighed in relief.
“Yes! And now, if he heard all of us, we’ll never hear the end of all the comments on the stupid sappy stuff we blabbed!” Yusuke realized this, then his smile faded.
All three of the guys stopped smiling altogether. They looked at each other, pathetically chuckling. It was so true. They hoped that Hiei never heard a word of it.
Hiei still was laying, silent, on the bloodstained bed...

Heh heh... You pathetic fools...
