Chapter 6: Kuwabara's Confusion

 

 

When they got back to Kuwabara's house in the city, Kuwabara put Kurama on one of the beds in the guest room. He walked back into the living room and saw his sister, Shizuru, talking to Yusuke.

 

“I'm not gonna let that little fire demon sleep in the house! If he gets pissed off, he'll blow the place up! This place ain't free, ya know!” She took a long drag from her cigarette.

 

“Kurama, on the other hand, is more than welcome to stay. He knows how to treat a host - with respect!” She kept talking, raising seven kinds of Hell, but finally agreed to let him stay when Yusuke told her what Hiei had done to help Kurama. Then she sighed and gestured for Yusuke to put him in the guest bedroom, still grumbling. Normally he agreed with his sister and wished Hiei would either leave or stop being such a prick. But now Kuwabara sighed as he watched Yusuke put Hiei on the other guest bed. Why had the usually uncaring little demon gotten upset?

 

Earlier that day, Kuwabara had been at Yukina's house doing what made him happiest: making Yukina laugh and smile. He had just been imitating Yusuke talking back to Koenma, causing Yukina to break forth in gales of laughter when Hiei barged in. He almost growled at Hiei's lack of respect to his love, but she ran to the little demon when she saw his pained expression. Kuwabara would have made fun of Hiei's distress over such a minor wound if Hiei hadn't quickly explained while wiping the blood off of his hands and sounding so miserable. Kurama was hurt and Hiei couldn't help him? That made the little demon look upset enough to cry? Maybe Hiei wasn't the heartless bastard Kuwabara had always thought he was.

 

Confused, Kuwabara just nodded when Yukina ordered (where did she get that voice of cold, competent authority from?) him to stay there. He sat in a kind of daze from his friends' odd behaviors for a while, and then wondered where they had gone. He shook his head. Duh! They were going to help Kurama. And they had left him here?! He'd show them he could be useful in a tight spot! He took down the mental wall he kept up most of the time to avoid constantly sensing spirits.

 

He closed his eyes and locked onto Yukina's ki. He could feel Hiei's next to her. They were in a forest - he could tell from the small kis of animals that scattered from their frantic pace. He sent his spirit awareness further ahead and felt…oh, no! That was Kurama's ki that felt as weak as a kitten's! He could sense Yususke next to him. The moron's probably asleep! Kuwabara thought. It was just like his best friend to sleep when he couldn't do anything. Kuwabara decided to see them, now that he knew where to go. He closed Yukina's door and ran in the direction of Kurama's fading ki. He'd put his mental walls back up, so he was startled when Hiei flickered in front of him a few moments later.

Sorry it's been a while since I updated…school has been tough and now I need to start looking for a place to live while I go to law school…life sucks, but I'm at a relatively slow spot, so I figured I'd update. It might be a few weeks before the next update, but I can't help it! Forgive me!
