The Way

There's something about the way you look tonight.

There's something about the way that I can't take my eyes off you.

There's something about the way your lips invite.

Maybe it's the way that I get nervous when you're around.

And I want you to be mine,

And if you need a reason why...

The next night, Hiei found himself back outside Kurama's window again, but at least this time, he had some idea of what he was doing there.

He'd been awake all night, thinking. Thinking about what he felt inside, and how...strange it was. Strange in a good way. He had never had these feelings before, but after spending a sleepless night analyzing and pondering them, he had to admit, they didn't feel half bad. But should he pursue them?

It's in the way that you move me,

And the way that you tease me

The way that I want you tonight.

It's in the way that you hold me,

And the way that you know me.

When I can't find the right words to say,

You feel it in the way.

Hiei couldn't find an answer to his dilemma, so he went out the next evening to walk through the city and think some more. And found himself back at Kurama's house, outside the window.

Unfortunately for Hiei, a) Kurama was absent once again and b) the weather decided not to favor him and to be bone-crackingly cold and rainy again. But Hiei stayed. Why? None of us know.

There's something `bout how you stay on my mind.

There's something `bout the way that I whisper your name when I'm asleep, oh girl.

Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes.

Maybe it's the way that it makes me feel you see you smile.

And the reasons they may change.

But what I'm feeling stays the same.

Kurama came home even later that night, but this time, he didn't even try to begin his homework. Looking kind of dazed, he sat on his bed, not even glancing at his window, which was something of a relief to Hiei. He sat there, until the phone on his desk jangled. Then he pounced—yes, pounced—across the room and seized it. He talked to it, listened for a few moments, then hung up and...laughed and did a jig?!

It's in the way that you move me,

And the way that you tease me

The way that I want you tonight.

It's in the way that you hold me,

And the way that you know me.

When I can't find the right words to say,

You feel it in the way.

Either Hiei gasped much louder than he had thought, or Kurama was finally aware of his surroundings. But for whatever reason, he looked very suddenly at the window, and before Hiei could even gather his wits to run, Kurama had crossed the room, seized the window latch, and pulled it open.

Hiei stared as a fork of lightning crossed the sky, illuminating Kurama's face. His breath caught momentarily. He'd never noticed how nice that red hair was, or how brilliantly green his eyes really were...Hiei shook himself mentally. He sounded like such an idiot, even to his own head.

I just can't put my fingers on

Just what it is that makes me love you, you baby.

So don't ask me to describe.

I get all jumped up inside,

Just thinking `bout the way.

Hiei,” Kurama said softly, looking shocked and...concerned? No, he must be mistaken. “What are you doing out here? It's freezing, not to mention the storm!” He looked intently at Hiei, and frowned. “You're shivering! Get in here!” And Hiei was hauled into Kurama's room without much say in the matter. “You're soaked to the skin, Hiei. How long were you out there?!”

“A...a few hours, I guess...” Hiei said through chattering teeth.

“Hours?” Kurama gasped. “That's it. You, shower, now.” He threw a spare set of clothes at Hiei and pushed him into the bathroom, amid many protests. “No, no, no arguments. In. Take a bath, warm up, change, and come downstairs to get some food. And to explain the reason you were spying on me.”

It's in the way that you move me,

And the way that you tease me

The way that I want you tonight.

It's in the way that you hold me,

And the way that you know me.

When I can't find the right words to say,

You feel it in the way.

For reasons he still didn't understand, Hiei followed Kurama's orders. He figured out how to work the bathtub taps, took a hot shower, changed into the too-big clothes, and found his way through the large apartment to the kitchen.

Kurama was standing by the stove, stirring something in a pot. “Sit down, Hiei,” he said without turning. Hiei sat, and until Kurama emptied the contents of the pot into two bowls, there was silence. But then...

“Why were you spying on me, Hiei?”

The words were gentle, but Kurama plainly expected an answer, and a good one.

But Hiei didn't have much of an answer. “I...I'm not sure,” he admitted. But Kurama just looked piercingly at him, and Hiei elaborated. “I...I ended up here last night...and I watched you...you...looked so sad...I just wanted to make sure you were okay.”

Kurama nodded. “Okay, but...why?”

“Why what?”

“Why did you come last night?”

“I...I don't know...” Hiei said quietly. “But...it was cold...and I hate the cold...and your place seemed like it would be...safe...it was just a moment of weakness. I'm sorry.”

Kurama shrugged. “No, no, it's all right. It's nice to know you have moments of weakness. But why were you concerned for me?”

Hiei, watching Kurama as he talked, knew he couldn't answer that question with words. He didn't even have an answer. Not sure exactly what he planned on doing, he got up, walked around the table, and leaned over to kiss Kurama's lips.

There's something `bout the way you look tonight.

There's nothing more to say than

I feel it in the way.

Reviewer's comments:

FireChibi: Well, as you can see, I continued! Thankies for saying it's good. I don't like flames...hides under bed as a flame pops up on the screen

dquill: I continued! Goooo me! And I love Hiei/Kurama fics too, but I never tried writing one. My sister has, though. You should check her out. Just do a search for the story “Revenge” because I forget her username. Thanks for the review!

jessie: I think you need to start an account on either FanFiction or MediaMiner. That way I wouldn't have to remember to tell you when I update. Thankies for the review!

icedargonkatana( ): Sorry, you won't find out why Kurama was crying until the next chapter. But don't worry, it's all written down and everything. I just hafta type it and update it. And tell your brother Fred that he should be honored, because that brush is very important to Kurama.

What2callmyself: Like I told icedargonkatana, I'll tell you why Kurama was crying in the next chapter, as well as what Hiei is going to do. Thanks for the review!

There was one other person who reviewed, on , but the crappy site won't show the stupid review to me! I promise I'll try to get it working and put your review in the next chapter! I'm sorry...
