Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Thinking Of You ❯ Halloween ( Chapter 22 )

Thinking Of You

It was fall now. So much had happened. Kurama had started school, he had been taking summer school to catch up, and I had gone to fix up problems with Mukuro. She was quite stubborn, but eventually decided she'd rather have me as an heir other than some stupid fop. I had to be gone for a month just for that. I missed you terribly, and suddenly found myself doubting you. I knew you never would do anything to hurt me, but years of pain told me otherwise. I expected to see you with someone else as I came to the window. Old habits die hard…

There you sat, at that desk of yours. You were bent over a book and a spiral, muttering something incoherent to yourself. I smiled and silently opened the window.

"My own desires are not so soon ignited,

And if I saw you naked as a beast,

Not all you hid would tempt me in the least." I managed to discern. I knew the perfect way to announce my presence and show that statement false…

~*~*

"Welcome home Hiei," you whispered in my ear as we lay still on the bed. Both of us were content to just lie in each other's arms. To just be near each other.

"Hiei." You whispered as I had nearly fallen asleep. I grunted. "Tomorrow is Halloween, love. What are you going to be?"

"Myself," I replied. You chuckled.

"I think you misunderstand Hiei. You put on a costume to scare people. Or evoke their imaginations," you tried to explain. I turned my face to yours and blinked. You sighed. "Let me try that again. An example is a person dressing up as Frankenstein's monster. Another could be a small child in the costume of a lion. Or a woman in a harem's garb."

"Harem?" I asked suspiciously. You chuckled and kissed my nose.

"It's just an example," you said. "What are you going to be?"

"Me," I said. You sighed heavily.

"The only people who are going to see you are our friends, they know who you are and will think you didn't dress up."

"What are you going to be?"

"That's entirely aside from the point."

"No it isn't. What are you going to me?"

"…"

"Don't know? Figures."

"… Student Council President Touga…" you whispered. I barely heard it.

"Who?" I asked. You smiled.

"He's a character from an anime I watch. It's called Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's really good…" I was giving you the strangest look. I hadn't known you were into anime. ".. uh…"

"Whatever," I said. You hugged me.

"What're you going to be?"

~*~*

You fit the part of Touga perfectly. Basically. I looked down at myself. I felt stupid. You had made me watch Utena; it was different to say the least. I didn't mind it, it was just so contrary to what I had thought it would somewhat be.

"Let's go Hiei, or we'll be late," you said. You pulled me towards the door. I didn't move, forcing you to drag me. You leaned me up against the wall just as the neighbor's door opened.

"Is that a Hiei I see?" Roger asked, as if he were talking to a child. I growled. "You fit the part well, Hiei. Just don't let him use a collar and chain."

"irk…" was all I could manage. I once again looked down at myself. It wasn't that bad…

"Come on Hiei," you beckoned. Roger winked at me as we went to the elevator. I sighed and got in after you.

"They're going to meet us there, they're visiting family," you explained. I nodded and you pressed me up against the wall. I smiled and leaned up to kiss your mouth.

"Not in the elevator," I heard a female voice say. Her companion giggled. I growled and glared at Alexi and Mitski. They were totally different. Alexi had her hair lavishly piled on her hair and dyed white. She wore a gorgeous medieval gown… and a hoop skirt. Her dress was crimson with a flowered tapestry in the front in a panel. It was lined with a yellow material. She looked fantastic.

Her companion, on the other hand, looked like Utena. I blinked. Kurama was Touga, and Mitski was Utena? Wait a second here…

"Hiei, Mitski and I coordinated our outfits. I coordinated yours with Alexi," you replied and kissed my nose. I looked down at my ridiculous attire. Alexi looked with me.

"Love the tights Hiei," she commented. I glared at her. You giggled and we walked to your car.

"We'll be giving these two a lift," you said. I climbed in the front seat, terribly aware of what I was wearing.

"So," Alexi began. "What did you two do last night? We heard you three flights below."

"Eep!" I squeaked.

"They didn't hear anything silly, she's just trying to get to you," you said as we pulled out and headed towards Genkai's temple.

"She's doing an admirable job," I muttered. You giggled.

"Aw, how cute!" Mitski proclaimed. She jumped Alexi.

"Not on the velvet!" Alexi cried. I hid a snigger. You smiled. Those two are strange.

We arrived as Yusuke arrived. He was wearing a pirate outfit. Keiko was wearing a white dress, with a white veil and white everything.

"What are you?" I asked her.

"I am the bride that will never be," Keiko said. I gave her a quizzical look. Yusuke `arg'ed and moved to help Keiko up the many stairs. I tried to get to the back of the group, so no one could see up my shorts. You walked behind me, commenting on the view.

There were no lights heading up the stairs. Occasionally a strobe would go off, but other than that there was nothing. There were cobwebs, and I heard things I have never heard before. You clung to my waist. Mitski had disappeared under Alexi's skirt, claiming it was too scary. I rolled my eyes at that statement.

We reached the top and were instantly greeted by a bubbly Botan. My eye started twitching.

"Welcome to Genkai's spooky temple," she said. I pushed past her and headed towards the temple. "I wouldn't do that Hiei!"

Random things exploded on all sides. It was now covered in confetti. Joy. I kept going, despite the warnings. I sat on the stairs. You all traveled across the still active confetti site. You came over to me and began picking confetti pieces out of my hair. I did the same for you.

~*~*

"See Hiei," you said as we curled up in the bed once again. "It wasn't that bad."

"…hn," I replied. You sighed. I smiled as I leaned over you r body and ran my teeth across the skin of your neck.

"There's something I forget to tell you Kurama," I said. You moaned lightly as I ran my canines over your stomach. "I'm a vampire now."

Notes: Happy late Halloween! It wasn't that great, but I can't write stuff about summer when it's fall. Expect the series to move along a bit faster. Four chapters per day is a bit slow. So, anyway welcome to fall. The wonders of time lapses. I will try to keep the updates coming. If you have any suggestions let me know. I'm willing to try them. R&R! Bye-Chu.
