Hiei's Dare

Chapter 8: Trust Us

Notes: I had a few reviews asking why Hiei didn't cry tear gems. I was half asleep when I wrote Chapter 7 of this story and so I left out a few details. I'll add the gems this chapter to keep you guys happy. I also had a few people saying that Hiei crying was really weird. I know it is, but you have to remember his problem. He has gained a fear of becoming human and gaining emotions or anything else dealing with humans. The deeper he lets it affect him the worse off he's going to be. He will be a little OC from time to time, but that is kind of what I want to happen. Having Hiei as a flexible and constantly changing person will make the story more interesting and of course bring tons of laughter to us. Just bare with me on this and I'll make sure it's worth your while. I still have big plans for Hiei and things are about to get interesting.

By the way I'm sorry this is so short. I wanted to do another quick update before the end of this week in case I don't get a chance to update in a while.

*************************************************************** ***************

Yusuke woke up to his mother's drunk rambling. He sighed and got up. After he finished getting ready he went over to his far from pleasant companion who was still asleep. He knew he had to wake him up. When he walked over to Hiei something shiny caught his eye. He looked down to see a gem on the floor. It was black with light blue lines on it. Yusuke looked and found a few others. He recognized them to be tear gems and similar to what Yukina cried. Yusuke froze at the thought. He knew that Hiei wasn't the kind of person who cried. He was tough, prideful, and incredibly stubborn. Yusuke shrugged it off and placed the gems inside of his pocket. He would ask Hiei about them later. Right now he needed to wake him up.

"Hiei, get up," Yusuke said.

Hiei mumbled something that Yusuke couldn't understand and turned away from Yusuke.

"Hiei, come on you lazy bum, we've got to go to school," Yusuke said dreading the idea of school.

He thought that the word school would get Hiei up, but it didn't work.

"Alright, we have to do this the hard way."

Yusuke grabbed Hiei's blanket and yanked it off of him. It did no good since Yusuke felt Hiei's body temperature rise to compensate for the loss of the blanket. When he saw it didn't work he walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water. He walked back to his room and dumped the glass on his sleeping victim. Hiei shot up as water covered his face.

"It's about time you woke up. We've got to get going or Kuwabara and my mother will never let us hear the end of staying home."

When Hiei recovered from the water, he said something that Yusuke thought he would never hear come from his mouth.

"Hn, I'm not going."

Yusuke turned around and looked at Hiei. He could tell that no matter how hard he tried he wouldn't get Hiei to budge. Yusuke sighed.

"Ok, then we'll both skip today."

"Hn, do what you want, I'm not going back."

Yusuke looked over at Hiei once again. He knew something was bothering him, but he knew Hiei would never come out and tell him. Yusuke had to go for Kurama for answers all because Hiei didn't trust him. Hiei didn't trust anyone, not even Kurama anymore. Hiei never believed in friendship, only of survival of the fittest and having allies who would in the end most likely betray him. It was all Hiei knew. Yusuke knew he needed to talk to Hiei.

"Fine, you don't have to go back, but at least get up and get dressed. We're going out."

Hiei looked at him and without verbally answering he complied with the request. When he was dressed the two boys left and went to a park. Yusuke wasn't a park kind of person, but he knew Hiei would be more likely to talk in a natural setting. Hiei couldn't jump trees because of the dare, but he could still enjoy his surroundings. Although he would never admit it, Hiei liked being in nature. It was that simple. Yusuke sat down on a park bench.

"Hiei, we need to talk."

"Hn, what about?"

"About you I guess."

"I already told you that you needn't worry about me and my problems. You have no right to interfere in my life…" Hiei said before he was interrupted.

"Yes I do Hiei, especially if it involves one of the members of our group. I'm not one for passionate or mushy speeches, but a lot of people are worried about you and you don't seem to give a damn about anyone else. Keiko, Kuwabara, Kurama, and others are concerned because you haven't exactly been the ass-kicking Hiei that we know. I mean sure you still have your attitude, but I mean come on, your acting like a big sissy."

"Why do you care about what I do?"

"…because, like it or not Hiei, despite our differences the others and I guess me as well see you as a friend. I guess it's just what friends do."

"It still isn't your concern."

Yusuke sighed.

"I know Hiei. I think what a lot of the others want is for you to trust them. Sure we joke and tease, but we can be serious at times."

"Name one time you've been serious."

"Right now,"

"Besides right now,"

Yusuke paused and thought before answering.

"When I talked to Genkai back during the Dark Tournament, I remember that I was suppose to do her final ordeal. She had told me that in order to gain her power I had to kill her."

(Warning: Spoilers: Do not read below if you don't want to find out some things that you may have not seen during the Dark Tournament Saga.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~

(This is in one of the episodes from the Dark Tournament Saga. It takes place just before and during the Semi-finals)

Yusuke walked into the cave.

"All right Genkai, where are you hiding?"

"Have you made your decision? Then let's get started."

"You're my teacher. I can't do. I'm sorry, but I give up…"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~

"I couldn't do that. I remember getting mad at her when I found out that it was a test to go through the ordeal. I remember saying how I `couldn't believe I said all that touchy-feely stuff for nothing' and her reply about me `remembering everything that went through my head.' In the end after she was killed by Toguro, I remembered her words and how right she was. So how's that for spilling my guts."

"Hn, It doesn't matter one bit."

"Hiei, I guess the point to all this is that one day you're going to look back and regret things. In the end you may wish that you had trusted us a little more and told us what was bothering you. In the end you'll regret it, but it still is your decision. Now come on, I'm sick of this advice crap. Let's go."

They walked back to the house. When they entered Yusuke pulled the tear gems from his pocket and held them out to Hiei.

"By the way, I think these are yours."

Hiei took them without saying anything and retreated to the bedroom. Yusuke plopped onto his couch and decided to take a nap since he didn't want to deal with Hiei any more.

*************************************************************** ***************

This is a little different than other chapters I've written, because I tried to have Yusuke have a heart to heart with Hiei. It's hard to do that when their personalities aren't the best for it, but you got to take what you're given. I had Yusuke as a little OC in this chapter, but things will get better. I'll have the girls back hopefully by next chapter. I just need some time to experiment with them and to get them the way I want them. I really haven't thought through their storyline yet so be patient with me.
