Kiyaku: Broken Promise

Chapter 8: Realization

They were watching movies when Kurama asked for his brush. Hiei stood up and opened the dresser drawer to get it. A pill bottle was shoved at the bottom of the drawer caught his attention and picked it up, looking at it curiously. Kurama didn't take any prescription pills as far as Hiei knew so what was that doing there?

"Hiei, what's wrong," asked Kurama on his bed.

"Red, what's this?" Hiei held up the bottle.

"My pills." Kurama made a grab for the bottle but Hiei moved out of his reach, turning the bottle in his hand.

"No prescription on it. What is it?"

"They're mine, Hiei! Give it back!"

Hiei looked at his friend. Kurama's now dry hair was tangled and untamed. The yellow swelling around his eyes visible around his angry emerald irises. His sunken face looked skeletal and Hiei realized Kurama hardly eaten his snack or dinner. And Kurama couldn't get to sleep for a few days. Hiei's eyes widen when he realized what it was.

"It's speed, isn't it?" asked Hiei and Kurama started to fidget on the bed. "What the hell happened to you that made you use drugs?!"

"I couldn't keep up with school! I needed some way to keep up!"

"Why didn't you just drop out of some of those clubs? That would have been easiest."

"Mom expects me to be in those clubs. I can't let her down!"

"Haven't you thought about what you want?"

"Why do you care?!"

"Because you're my friend and I love you!"

Hiei couldn't stop those last three words from escaping his lips, now he wishes he regretted it. But it was true, all of it. The reason why he's never late to meet Kurama, to make him happy, to be around him all the time. He loved Kurama more than anything in the world.

Kurama looked at Hiei in shock. Hiei, his best friend, loved him? But does he love Hiei? He admits the teenager is attractive and he allows Hiei certain privileges, like calling him `Red'. Kurama hates it when people call him that and he only allows Hiei to call him that. Kurama's eyes widen. That's why his stomach felt like butterflies when Hiei's around and always there for his friend. He loved Hiei! What would Kaasan think? And everybody else? He can't!

"No," he whispered.

"Kurama, I'm sorry but I do. Really I do."

"No!" And he bolted out of his bedroom door. Running downstairs he ran past his startled mother.

"Kurama, what's wrong? Kurama, come back!"

Hiei wasn't far behind and stopped next to Shiori. She looked at him worriedly.

"What's wrong with him?" she asked and Hiei showed her the bottle.

"I found this in his desk."

Shiori's eyes filled with tears as she looked at the bottle and thought of what it's doing to her son.

"How long?" she asked and Hiei shrugged.

"We'll let him blow some steam," he said. "He'll be back."

Shiori nods as the boy went upstairs to get his things.
