Everyday Life?
Chapter Twelve: Matters of the Heart
The first rays of sunlight streamed in through the window to illuminate the master bedroom. Snuggled together on the king-sized bed were the fox and the fire demon.
As the light fell on the kitsune, he moved a bit, and pulled Hiei closer against him. Kurama nuzzled the jaganshi’s pine-scented hair, not yet willing to awaken. Comforted by Hiei’s warm presence, the fox sighed happily, slowly falling back into a deep sleep.
Hiei though, was not in such a blissful state. Although he usually slept well while in the embrace of his beloved fox, he had only been able to catch a few restless hours of sleep this night. Every time he closed his eyes, he was haunted of visions of his partner. Sometimes it would be her smiling at him or laughing with him about some benign joke; but more often it would be flashbacks to New York. Her pallid complexion, blood quickly staining her shirt, her unconscious form in his arms...
He squeezed his eyes shut, pushing back the dread rising in his heart. He was as close as he could recall coming to terrified that Robin...or more accurately Kiru, would be hurt again in the Makai- this time with no one to help her. And with that terror came another realization he wasn’t sure he could admit-to himself or to anyone else.
He was falling for Kiru.
He felt almost as if he was cheating on Kurama. Although that would never ever happen- he loved Kurama with all his heart and soul. His fun and oh-so-tricky fox was his life...wasn’t he?
...
Besides...demon bonds run far deeper than idiotic ningen bonds...No. He would never betray his fox...

In the next room over, Judy lie awake in her bed. After a short-lived, super-light catnap, she had awoken and found herself too worried to fall asleep. Her discarded bedding was tangled around her ankles and spilling onto the floor as she channel surfed- in vain- for something boring enough to put her to sleep.
It seemed almost useless...Judy was certain that very little would help settle her fears. She felt almost useless. Kiru...no, Robin was all alone in the Makai. God forbid something were to happen...no one was there to help. Sighing, she settled on one of the classic morning shows- Maury.
If daytime television wouldn’t help her, nothing would.
--
Kurama on the other hand, slept peacefully, totally unaware of the thoughts of his firefly. Blissfully ignorant that something could rock his seemingly-stable world to its very core, the fox dreamed of a happy future..
--
Several hours passed in this droll. Judy worried while staring at the latest “You Are NOT The Father!” and “JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!” drivel. Hiei lie in his sleeping fox’s embrace, torn over his burgeoning feelings for the mysterious Kiru.
Sometime after noon, Judy reluctantly rose; moving into the kitchen to prepare breakfast...lunch for everyone. She opened the refrigerator and saw a bowl of freshly cut Makai fruits, carefully wrapped in plastic. Her mind flashed back to the previous morning, before the demon’s attacked them, when she and Robin had joked around while the demoness cleaned and sliced the strangely shaped fruits.
She grabbed some eggs, milk, cheese and butter from the refrigerator before carefully closing the door. In that moment, she wanted nothing more than to know that her BFF was okay...safe...
As she whisked together the eggs and milk for some thin cheese crepes, Judy realized that Robin was probably just fine...and happy. After all, she was back in her true world... Although the Makai frightened and took Judy by surprise time and time again, she knew that Robin loved her world. Why she loved it so, the ningen could not comprehend...with all those smells...and corpses...and danger...
She hoped Robin remembered that she wasn’t allowed to die...
-Makai-
Perched high atop a gigantic tree, Kiru leaned against the massive trunk, a small smile curving her lips as she thought about her dark-haired partner. After a few seconds of fantasizing about him though, she shook her head and blushed darkly. Who was she to dream of him...?
She drew her knees to her chest and stared out across the empty plains. So far it had been quiet other than a few mild skirmishes with lower class demons outraged over the halt of the passage to and from the Makai, and she had far too much time to think about everything that had happened recently between herself and the fire demon. Her hand rose to her waist, resting where the scar was. Ever since that day...she and Hiei had grown closer. Probably too close.
After all...he had a mate. True, they were not bonded...but they loved each other. Getting close to Hiei made her feel so...happy though... She felt at home with him...safe...loved...
At the last thought, her eyes widened, and time seemed to stop...
C-could it be that I...that I... love him?!
