“Kurama...” Hiei whispered, sitting at my right. I looked over at him and gasped. I quickly laid my right hand over his eyes. I looked up to see Yusuke staring at my quizzically.

 

“Look,” I told him. I carefully exchanged my right hand for my left, so fast you couldn't even see a glimpse of Hiei's eyes. I lifted up my now-free hand to show Yusuke. His eyes widened, and I looked at my hand as well. The palm was wet with a salty, clear liquid.

Yet, this way, no one else besides the reverend could tell that a supposedly emotionless fire apparition was dampening his clothes with his own tears. I guess my hand wasn't helping as much as I thought it would.

 

`Quiet!' I chided myself. `I think the reverend is about to say something you might want to listen to...'
