Kiyaku: Broken Promise

Chapter 9: Path of Moonlight

Kurama ran through the streets and turned into the park. At first he ran the paths and walks before he turned into the woods and kept running. He didn't see where he was going or what direction he was in. he knew he had to run.

"Ah!"

He looked behind him and saw he tripped on a root. And his ankle was sprained. Perfect. He groaned as he dragged himself against a tree and looked around. A pond was in front of him, reflecting the moonlight along the shoreline. It was beautiful.

`I wish Hiei was here,' he thought and fell asleep, a tear rolling down his cheek.

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

When Kurama didn't come to school the next day Hiei, his friends, Yukina, and Keiko ran to the Minamino residence soon after school and knocked on the door, hard.

"Kurama," said Shiori hoping it was her son but when she saw it was Hiei her face fell and she let them in.

"He still haven't come back," asked Yusuke when they walked in.

"No, I called the police but they can't find him. Will you help me?"

"Hai, Minamino-san!"

"No."

Everyone looked at Hiei in Surprise. He was sitting on the couch looking at his hands, a gloomy expression on his face.

"No?" asked Shiori. "Why `no'?"

"Me and Kurama got into a fight and I don't think I should talk to him anymore."

"That's no reason to stop looking for him," said Yusuke. "He's your friend!"

"He's not my friend anymore!"

Yukina walked to her brother and placed a hand on his shoulder, turning to the others.

"Minna-san onegai, start searching without us," she said and they nodded, walking out the door to search for their friend.

"What's wrong, aniki," she asked.

"He lied to me! We promised we would tell each other's secrets and he lied to me!"

"It does hurt when someone you care about lies to you but that doesn't mean you can't stop caring about them."

"It hurt more than just friendship."

Yukina smiled a little and held her brother close as Hiei cried.

"You love him?"

"I do love him, but he hates me."

"Did he say that?"

"No."

"Then how do you know?"

"He ran off."

"That doesn't mean he hates you. He was probably surprised to hear it, but I know Kurama ran because he cares deeply for you and doesn't want to throw away a good friendship over some stupid bottle of pills. Go find him."

"I will. Go with the others. I'll go on my own."

"Hai, aniki." And they both left the house. Yukina went to join their friends as Hiei took a different route, going to all of his and Kurama's secret places when they were little but still didn't find anything. At sunset he called and told the others to rest while he kept searching and that he would call when he found Kurama. Searching again for an hour more he sat down against a building and looked at the sky.

"Help me find Kurama," he said and got back up. He figured there was one last place to check, the park. Running through the dense forest, he called Kurama's name. He could actually see through the bright moonlight that seemed to shine a path for him, and he felt he had no choice but to follow it.

"Kurama! Kurama, where are you?"

He paused for a second to hear if anybody responds and he heard something. It could have been a whisper in the wind or his imagination but he wasn't sure.

"Help! Somebody help me!"

"Red! Is that you?"

"Please help me!"

"I'm coming, Red! Keep yelling!"

Kurama did. He yelled nonsense words that came to mind till Hiei found him.

"Kurama!"

"Hiei, you found me!"

"What happened?" asked Hiei as he reached his friend's side.

"I sprained my ankle. I didn't want to move it to hurt it more."

"I'll fix that." And Hiei took off his shirt to rip it into bandages. Kurama looked away from Hiei as his friend fixed his leg.

"Hiei, I'm sorry."

"For what? I should be the one to say sorry."

"Why?" Kurama looked stunned at his friend. Hiei finished the make shift bandage and turned away from the redhead.

"If I hadn't said that I love you then we wouldn't be in this mess. I guess we can't be friends anymore."

"Why can't we, Hiei? Is it because of the drugs?"

"No, I can't go on seeing you with another person. I am mad at you for the drugs and lying to me. But if you don't love me, fine, I won't get in the way."

Hiei reached in his pocket and took out the pill bottle he had with him. He didn't know why he took it with him, he just did. He handed the bottle to Kurama.

"You don't have to rely on this anymore. I can help you if you want."

Kurama looked at the pill bottle for a second and closed his fist around it. He threw the bottle as hard as he could in the pond and smiled when he heard a splash.

"No more barriers," he said looking at Hiei. "I love you, Hiei; I didn't realize it till after I ran away."

"It's okay, Red. Just promise me you want do that again."

"I promise."

Hiei smiled and drew Kurama in for a kiss, wrapping his lips against the redhead's. Kurama eagerly returned it and held his beloved close. They drew away when they needed air.

"Come on, Red. Let's get you home." And Hiei helped Kurama stand up. Kissing Kurama's cheek he led Kurama out.

`I am home,' thought Kurama.
