Just a few words real quick ^_^ This story is told from Kurama's point of view. (Kurama is a demon and Hiei is human) It starts out in present time, then does sort of a flash back thingy after a few paragraphs. The entire story then takes place in the past, about three weeks ago and the time progresses until it gets to present time when it says 'that was a little over an hour ago'. It's like Kurama is telling a story ^_^ Okay, I'll shut up.. that probably didn't make any sense anyways... XD

It's such a funny world, don't you think? Well, since I can't really hear you if you answer, and you'll look like a idiot if you actually do answer ((talking to a computer screen... tsk, tsk)), I'll save you the trouble and just pretend that you said yes.
Let me explain to you why I find our existence so humorous.
I'll start at the beginning. My name is Suuichi Kurama. I'm what you would call a 'pretty boy'... bishounen, if you will. I have green eyes and long red hair that reaches almost to my waist. Got a little Irish thing goin' on, ne? But I'm not Irish...
Yeah, I think I look good. Hell, I *know* I look good. I'm nice and tall. Thin and muscular... so in other words, mess with me, and I'll kick your ass.
I would give you an age, but... well, alright. I will. I'm over six hundred years old. Blows your mind, doesn't it? You see... I'm a demon. Yeah.. hold the applause. So I'm really not Irish, right? Told ya... So anyway, my demon name is Kurama. Pretty, right? Yeah... I know.
In my human form, I go by Suuichi. I'm sixteen human years old and in your school system, I would be a tenth grader. Not like I really go to school, anyway. I mean, come on... I've got six hundred years of knowledge piled up, why would I need school?
Now, moving right along... My problem is the irony involved in my life ((if you could call it a life)). My human mother was killed in front of my eyes when I was seven. Guess by what? You got it. Another demon. This should make me hate demons, right?
Wrong.
How can I hate what I am? Well... I suppose it's possible... there are humans who hate human existence...
I'm off track... back to irony and stuff.
So guess who got the blame? My father. Yeah... convicted and sentenced to death.
Hi-freakin-larious, huh? Please excuse me while I laugh bitterly.
So there I was. Seven years old and not a friend in the world... demonic or human.
Then come the social workers. I have to go to an orphanage. Yay!!
...
If you thought I was serious, then you're a hell of a lot dumber than I thought you were.
At the orphanage, I was given shit by every male there... just because i looked feminine. I was beaten, raped, ridiculed, everything. You name it... it happened.
So naturally I had to learn to defend myself. I hope you're not laughing. I'm a damn good fighter. Especially with a whip.
Oh, and you'll get a kick out of this. During my training, I did more damage to my body than the "bullies" every did. Ha ha ha. Even though it made me tough, I still didn't like it... or the orphanage.
So every chance I got I ran away from the orphanage.
I'm not an orphan, I didn't belong there. I never had a family to begin with.
But damn the limits of a human body. I was caught every single time. Go figure.
Then they started to try to force me to go to school.
Feh.
Foolish mortals.
I went maybe twice a year from 'third grade' to 'ninth grade'. But on the start of my Junior year, well... let's just ay I met some motivation.
His name was Hiei.
He's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. He's got jet black hair. It's so black that it shines blue. Except for one ring in the front that encircles some bangs. That was white. He spikes it up, but I suppose if he left it down, it would reach his shoulders. And he always wears a bandana across his forehead and it's always red.
A red to match his eyes. He's got the greatest eyes I've ever seen. They're a deep ruby red. I could get lost staring into them.
His face is rounded... unlike the oval shape of mine. Yeah, he's extremely pleasing to the eye. ((My eyes, not yours. You'll never get him... EVER... so don't even think about it.))
Anyway, he stands about a half a foot shorter than me and he's thin and very muscular. He's even got a nice six-pack.
But I like his personality the best. He's got one of those icy-cold personalities.
He never talks. If a teacher calls on him, he just gives them a death glare until they look away ((probably in fear)).
If a kid talks to him, it's the same treatment. Especially the girls. I mean... damn. Those stupid girls are all over Hiei... ALL the time.
If a kid tries to start a fight with Hiei, then they end up in a hospital.
But... he's talked to me... ((hey... this was a big deal before we got to be... friends...))
But now you probably want to know about it, don't you? Of course you do... nosy humans...
Alright... at school... this was about three weeks ago, so recently. Yay, right? Right.
At school as I was leaving for the day, a gay-ass jock came up to me ((oh, how I despise preps)). Then he started something with me, about me being an orphan.
That pissed me off so I beat the shit out of him. He ended up with a broken arm, black eye and a 'minor concussion'.
Me... I ended up with a busted lip and two weeks suspension.
I didn't care then, because I didn't really want to be at school in the first place.
But, after the whole 'Principal Trip', that's when Hiei came up to me. He grinned and told me that I showed that jock. Well, that was when I realized that I couldn't spend two weeks without Hiei... even if I was only *seeing* him at school.
So there I was, going against two moral laws.
You see, demons aren't allowed to love humans. And human males aren't supposed to love other male humans.
Isn't this irony great?
So anyway, on the first day of my suspension, I decided to go to the school anyway... secretly, of course.
I hid in a tree.
But not any tree. This tree faced my classroom window, so I had a perfect view of everyone ((especially Hiei)), but they couldn't see me.
That made me absolutely giddy.
...
...
...
Okay... that's the dumbest word I've ever said. Forget you saw it.
Now, I suppose on the Monday of the second week of my suspension, Hiei looked over at my tree... right up at me.
I stared at him.
He stared at me.
Neither of us moved.
About ten minutes later, he grinned at me. I looked around, completely mystified as to how he could see me.
The only thing visible was my eyes, and they're the color of the leaves, anyway. So then, for no reason at all ((since he couldn't see me)), I smiled back at him.
He looked away then, a small smile still on his lips. Every now and again, he would steal a glance out of the corner of his eye.
And so the day dragged on.
When I thought that I could bear no more, the bell rang, signaling end of the school day.
As usual, I waited as the students rushed home. But just as I was about to jump down, someone walked under the tree and sat down.
I cursed under my breath and waited...
... and waited ...
... and waited ...
After about a half an hour, I got impatient.
I began shifting around. The backs of my calves were hurting from the way i was sitting.
Then a voice floated up to me. I nearly fell out of the tree when I realized that it was Hiei. His voice is low and growly... very sexy.
He said, "There's either a really large bird up there, or there's a kitsune stuck up this tree."
I laughed softly to myself. Kitsune was a nickname I had received at my orphanage. Since I'm sneaky and quiet like a kitsune... a fox. I was surprised that Hiei knew that.
So I jumped down and landed right next to him.
"I thought it was you." he said.
I arched an eyebrow and asked him how he could've known.
"Because I could see your pretty red hair through the leaves," he replied, reaching his hands up to run his fingers through my hair.
I could have melted.
But I didn't... because I'm cool. Oh yeah..................... sorry... I'll stop bragging.
"And when I looked more closely, I could see your green eyes. They're much greener than the leaves."
I didn't know how to respond, so I only blushed. I know... a little girly, ne? ... Yeah? Well who asked you? Just shut up!
Anyway, after a few seconds of silence, he nodded his head towards the road and asked, "Do you wanna go hang out at the arcade, or something? Or are your parents expecting good little Suuichi home?"
I explained to him briefly that I had no family. He winked and told me, "That's good. That means we get to stay out later."
I nodded and followed him to the road and we made our way to the arcade.
After he called me 'Suuichi' a few more times, I asked him to call me Kurama.
He looked confused for a second, but shrugged and nodded.
That afternoon was the most fun I'd had ((at the time)).
We played this game called 'Dance Dance Revolution'.
It looks easy... but that's just a trick.
You have to hit each button as the arrows appear on the screen with your foot ((there's a dance pad on the ground)).
Hiei was great at it. You could tell that he had played before.
I, on the other hand, was not as graceful. I tripped and fell countless times, but laughing the whole time.
At about eight, Hiei walked me home.
The rest of the week passed similarly.
On Tuesday, Hiei took me to his neighborhood pool.
I'm not a water person... I never was. But I had fun anyway.
Then on Wednesday, we went to the park. We played tennis, basketball and went out on the boats in the lake.
I'm not an athletic person either... but I still had fun since I was with Hiei. ^_^
But on Thursday, Hiei wasn't at school. I was so sad.
But I got over it. On Friday, we went back to the arcade.
Hiei sure knows how to have fun.
So then came the weekend. I wasn't expecting to see him.
Saturday morning started out normal enough. I was sitting on the roof of my orphanage just daydreaming. Then Hiei just popped up out of nowhere.
On the roof.
Yeah... one second I was alone... the next -- *BAM* -- Hiei was there.
I guess he jumped to get up there.. I dunno.
Anyway... he asked me what I was doing and if I wanted to go skating.
I've never been skating.
But Hiei didn't mean ROLLER skating. Oh no... that would be *much* too easy.
He meant ICE skating... and hockey.
I always knew that Hiei was an ice fan. It's just something about him.
...
That was just the start of the worst day of my life.
After I finally learned how to actually stay up on the ice skates, I fell over. This asshole ((whom I had slammed into earlier on accident)) came by and sliced my arm open with his skate. He didn't waste any time getting his unnecessary revenge.
I got up to go after him, but I fell on my face.
Of course I did. It's in my nature to be a klutz.
When I sat up, Hiei was there... looking my arm over with concern.
I shrugged it off and spun around on my ass (^_^v), my back facing him and pulled my skates off. When I stood up, I was expecting Hiei to be behind me, but he was already skating off.
I looked down at my arm. It had a pretty deep gash on it and it was bleeding a lot. But that's okay, cuz I like blood. ^^
So anyway, when I walked/slipped off the ice rink, I was greeted by another boy in our class, Yusuke.
He looked concerned for me.
That made me feel all warm inside... people care.... Okay -- just shut-up....
Yusuke's one of those rebellious-I'll-kick-your-ass-if-you-even-think-about-looking-at-me-wrong guys.
He's really hot, too. He's just an inch or so shorter than me and he's got a really muscular body. The whole city knows you don't mess with Yusuke Urameshi. His eyes are a cloudy brown, really pretty to look at. And he has short ((about to his ears)) black hair that he usually slicks back.
I liked the way his hair looked then, though. It wasn't slicked back, but falling fluffily into place. His hair is so fluffy... I betcha it's soft, too.
But I won't touch it. I wouldn't dare to.
You see... Yusuke has a girlfriend.
A very slutty girlfriend.
...
Well, not really. I just hate her because I can.
So Yusuke took me off the rink and doctored up my arm.
Wasn't that sweet? Yeah... I though so, too.
But Hiei didn't.
I could tell that he was pissed when we were walking home.
He didn't talk to me at all.
Not one damn word.
He didn't even look at me.
When we go onto the dirt path that led to my orphanage, I stopped. I knew I had to do something to get Hiei back to normal. I still didn't understand why he was so upset.
So I stopped in the middle of the path.
Hiei knew that I was no longer walking with him, but he didn't look back.
Instead, he detoured off the path and sat down, resting his back on a tree. He crossed his arms... almost pouting.
I walked over and sat down beside of him. He immediately turned his head away.
So I slid closer to him, our legs touching.
I asked him what his problem was and I got silence in response.
I asked him if it had something to do with Yusuke... he still didn't answer.
So I asked him if I had done something and he grunted, as if I should know.
We sat there for about then minutes... not talking.
Before I could stop myself, I was leaning over Hiei and kissing him ((Oh yeah... tongue included... aren't I smooth?)).
At first he tried to push me away, but then he leaned forward and stole the dominance.
Damn him...
But I didn't really care, because at least he was giving me attention now.
You have to admit, though. It is a little strange that we've only known ((*really* known)) each other for about a week.
Reminds me of a story.
Got a little Romeo and Juliet action goin' on here. ^_^v
Some time later, Hiei pulled away, but we stayed together, foreheads resting against each other's.
We were breathing hard and Hiei had somehow pulled me into his lap... don't ask me how.
His hands were in my hair, brushing through it. And I had a feeling that he had wanted to do that from the beginning... from the very first time when I jumped from the tree and he felt my hair.
Then we were kissing again. Not as persistently as before, though. Still as passionate, but slowly this time.
That was when I noticed it.
Since I'm a demon, my senses are better than a human's. My sight is sharper, hearing, smell and stuff is better too, ya know?
So... I was finally *FINALLY* kissing Hiei... but I could sense someone around us. Not a human... this was definitely another demon.
I could hear it moving around in the trees. And I could smell it...
But I didn't stop Hiei... Hell, *I* didn't want to stop. So there was sat... making out for an hour or better.
Yeah... I really am smooth...
When the last kiss broke for good, I nuzzled my head up against Hiei's neck and wrapped my arms around his waist.
His hands continued to stroke through my hair.
Finally he spoke up.
"Kura... I'm sorry..."
"For what?"
"For ignoring you."
-- Insert the little *awwwwwws* you stupid humans --
"So... why weren't you talking to me, anyway?" I asked.
"Because you were ignoring me first, on the ice rink. I was going to help you with your arm... but you rushed over to let Yusuke do it."
"That's not true..."
"How is your arm anyway?" Hiei asked me, running his fingers over the makeshift bandages.
"I've had worse."
"You should've let me help you. I would have done a better job."
"I was just going to get off the rink so that jerk couldn't come back and slice me open again. when I turned around, you had already skated off. So I got out of the rink myself and then Yusuke offered to clean my arm up."
I received a grunt from Hiei.
"You... You're not jealous... are you?"
I think that snapped Hiei.
"Jealous? Why would I be jealous?! Especially just over you. It's not like you're cute or anything."
"And just what is that supposed to mean? You're not very cute either! In fact, you're down right ugly!"
Both of us were grinning and yelling. He pounced on me then, and we rolled around for awhile.
But leave it to the feeling to ruin a good moment.
I heard something in the trees again, so I stopped.
I told Hiei that maybe we should go home because it had gotten dark. And that was true. Neither of us had noticed the sun creeping down behind the horizon until now.
He rolled his eyes, "Good little Suuichi must be home before dark."
That annoyed me a lot, but I didn't say anything. I grabbed his hand and led him to the path again.
He didn't notice that we were walking away from my orphanage and towards his house. He was too busy examining the way our fingers folded together, almost fitting perfectly... as if we were molded to fit each other.
Right then I just wanted to get Hiei home safely... I was worried about him... that the demons might try something...
We walked along in silence, but a comfortable silence. I had him pulled close to me. I stood a head taller than him... so it was kind of funny.
Anyway... we arrived at his house and that's when he noticed.
"What are we doing here? I thought that *I* was taking *you* home."
So I told him that there had been a change of plans.
He didn't pursue.
Instead, he stepped up to the door, pulling me with him. He pressed his back against the door and wrapped me up in his arms.
He looked up into my eyes, "You know," he told me, "I was lying earlier. You really are cute."
"So you *were* jealous?"
"Maybe a little..."
But our perfect moment was ruined again. As I had leaned down to kiss Hiei, someone jumped out of the bushes beside the door at us.
Before I knew what had happened, my back had been slashed open. As I turned around, I saw a demon stare back; his arm was morphed into a sword.
"Kura! Are you okay?" Hiei asked quickly.
I paid Hiei no attention, though. I rushed at the demon and easily pinned him to the ground, my fingers clenched around his throat.
"Who the hell are you?!" I demanded.
But he didn't answer me.
I didn't really care, either.
I pulled him up and slammed his head onto the side walk.
It made a pretty delicious sounding crack when it collided with the concrete. The demon groaned loudly and his eyes rolled back in his head as he fell limp in my arms.
I didn't know if I had killed him or just knocked him unconscious. But that wasn't really important then.
"Suuichi... what the hell is going on?!" Hiei asked me.
I didn't know what to tell him.
"Hiei... it's kind of hard to explain. But right now... well..."
"Please... tell me what's going on." Hiei asked more calmly.
I sighed, "Not here." I knew that if there had been one demon around, there had to have been more.
"What do you mean 'not here'?!" Hiei asked angrily.
I stood up, "I mean NOT HERE. I don't think we're safe."
Hiei gave me a confused look.
Now... there are demons around that know about mine and Hiei's 'relationship' and want to kill us. What would you do?
Well, whatever you said is wrong unless you had the same idea as me ((because I'm always right)) and my idea was to run.
So I grabbed Hiei's hands and kissed him quickly, "Please... just trust me, love."
I didn't give Hiei a chance to agree or pretest, because I took off running, pulling him behind me.
I was headed straight for the woods. To the place where I had trained when I was younger.
Why?
Do you doubt my decision?
There's a cave right there by it, that's why.
Perfect hiding spot.
Yes, I was going to hide.
I finally had my Hiei and I was *not* going to lose him.
Hey.. I'll give you ten bucks if you can guess what happened when we got there.
Here... I'll give you a hint...
It starts with an 'S' and ends with an 'EX'.
Got it?
Yeah... it was great. *grins*
Making love to Hiei was like...
Okay, I'm not going to try poetry.
Of course Hiei got to be on top. Why wouldn't he? Damn dominate bastard...
Just kidding! I didn't care so much...
Now that happened just a few hours ago.
After me and Hiei had *ahem* finished with each other... we cuddled up in the far end of the cave.
He fell asleep in my arms. I was too... well... a mixture of happy, excited and scared... to sleep.
So I sat there, stroking Hiei's back rhythmically.
After about a half an hour of sitting there quietly, I shifted Hiei off of me.
I pulled my clothes on quickly and then dressed Hiei carefully.
I had the worst feeling that something terrible was going to happen.
I was scared as hell.
And you saw how my feelings had come true earlier, right?
Well, they came true again.
As much as I hate it.
You remember when I said that no one else could have Hiei ever?
Well... unfortunately I was telling the truth...
Heh.. some demons broke in.. well, you can't really *break* into a cave...
Some demons snuck in... I mean, of course they did. It's not like anything good's supposed to happen in my life.
So, yeah... They stabbed my poor Hiei right through the stomach before I could stop them.
That's what woke my love up. And the saddest part was that Hiei looked at me with the worst expression of pain and... a look like *I* had betrayed him on his face.
That hurt me... badly...
And it sent me on a killing spree.
*half-hearted grin* Those are so much fun.
There were three demons around Hiei.
I killed them all with my bare hands and escaped with only a few flesh wounds.
I turned around to the mouth of the cave and there were about five more.
They all attacked me at once.
This time I wasn't so lucky, though.
I did manage to kill them all... but they managed ((I don't know which one)) to stab me with a very jagged sword in the same manner that they had done to my poor Hiei.
Hell yeah it hurt.
But I kept fighting anyway.
After an hour or so, I killed all of the demons that were around.
I know.. go me!
There were only about twelve of them, but the last few were tougher because I was tired and the cut in my arm from the ice rink, the slice in my back from the first demon at Hiei's house, and all of the wounds I was receiving during the fight were *not* helping.
So I crawled over to Hiei and pulled him into my arms.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I found that he was still alive.
But my happiness was short-lived ((again)).
Hiei looked up to me, "Kura?"
"I'm so sorry, Hiei..." choked out.
And, despite the situation, Hiei smiled.
"You should have just told me what was going on..."
I nodded.
"Because then, maybe, I wouldn't have fallen asleep like a baby and left you to fight everyone alone." Hiei added.
"You wouldn't have been able to beat them anyway." I smiled.
"Maybe I would have surprised you..." Hiei said as he reached up to brush some tears from my cheeks.
And for you information... I was *not* crying... I.. I just have allergies... yeah... that's it...
"Kurama?"
"Yes, love?"
"Promise me that you won't forget me.
"I would never... you know that."
Then Hiei smiled up at me again and I couldn't help but smile back.
But then he coughed suddenly, a deep throaty cough... that brought up blood. Not a lot.. just a trickle down hi cheek.
Great... he had an internal wound... fun fun...
I leaned down and kissed Hiei, then. Slowly and with all the love and passion that I had in me.
I had the dominance.
No, I was *not* happy about that.
You wanna know why?
Because Hiei didn't have to strength in him to fight me for the dominance.
When I pulled away, Hiei had a faraway look in his eyes.
"Hiei?"
I got no response.
"Hiei?!"
"...hm?" he said quietly.
"Don't do that!"
"...do...what?"
He was talking in a low voice.. and slowly.
"I thought... never mind..." I said as I pulled Hiei up close to my chest, his head resting on my shoulder.
"I..." Hiei started.
I stroked my fingers through his hair, "You what?"
"Kura... I love you..."
I gasped quietly. I hadn't been expecting him to say that.
"You do?"
I felt Hiei nod against my neck.
I pulled him up to stare into his eyes. He was just as beautiful as when I first saw him.
"I love you, too, Hiei... I love you so much..."
And we were kissing again.
..............
That was a little over an hour ago.
No if I try to kiss Hiei.. he won't kiss back.
His limp body rests in my arms, cuddled against my body.
Soon, I will be just like Hiei.
I don't *have* to be, though.
I *am* a demon.
But I've lost the will to live.
I finally found love.
And that took me six hundred years.
But now it's gone.
As quick as that...
Kind of romantic, isn't it?
Us both dying at the same time.
Oh yeah... it just warms your heart.
Heh... okay. Now I feel better since I told my story to *someone*.
Even if it was *you*... a stupid human.
But I found out humans aren't *that* bad... Hiei was a human...
Alright.... I'm done blabbing...
...
...
...
Six hundred years is long enough to live, anyway... don't you think?
A shame... I...
I... really.... was starting to........ enjoy this ... life.....

I went maybe twice a year from 'third grade' to 'ninth grade'. But on the start of my Junior year, well... let's just ay I met some motivation.
His name was Hiei.
He's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. He's got jet black hair. It's so black that it shines blue. Except for one ring in the front that encircles some bangs. That was white. He spikes it up, but I suppose if he left it down, it would reach his shoulders. And he always wears a bandana across his forehead and it's always red.
A red to match his eyes. He's got the greatest eyes I've ever seen. They're a deep ruby red. I could get lost staring into them.
His face is rounded... unlike the oval shape of mine. Yeah, he's extremely pleasing to the eye. ((My eyes, not yours. You'll never get him... EVER... so don't even think about it.))
Anyway, he stands about a half a foot shorter than me and he's thin and very muscular. He's even got a nice six-pack.
But I like his personality the best. He's got one of those icy-cold personalities.
He never talks. If a teacher calls on him, he just gives them a death glare until they look away ((probably in fear)).
If a kid talks to him, it's the same treatment. Especially the girls. I mean... damn. Those stupid girls are all over Hiei... ALL the time.
If a kid tries to start a fight with Hiei, then they end up in a hospital.
But... he's talked to me... ((hey... this was a big deal before we got to be... friends...))
But now you probably want to know about it, don't you? Of course you do... nosy humans...
Alright... at school... this was about three weeks ago, so recently. Yay, right? Right.
At school as I was leaving for the day, a gay-ass jock came up to me ((oh, how I despise preps)). Then he started something with me, about me being an orphan.
That pissed me off so I beat the shit out of him. He ended up with a broken arm, black eye and a 'minor concussion'.
Me... I ended up with a busted lip and two weeks suspension.
I didn't care then, because I didn't really want to be at school in the first place.
But, after the whole 'Principal Trip', that's when Hiei came up to me. He grinned and told me that I showed that jock. Well, that was when I realized that I couldn't spend two weeks without Hiei... even if I was only *seeing* him at school.
So there I was, going against two moral laws.
You see, demons aren't allowed to love humans. And human males aren't supposed to love other male humans.
Isn't this irony great?
So anyway, on the first day of my suspension, I decided to go to the school anyway... secretly, of course.
I hid in a tree.
But not any tree. This tree faced my classroom window, so I had a perfect view of everyone ((especially Hiei)), but they couldn't see me.
That made me absolutely giddy.
...
...
...
Okay... that's the dumbest word I've ever said. Forget you saw it.
Now, I suppose on the Monday of the second week of my suspension, Hiei looked over at my tree... right up at me.
I stared at him.
He stared at me.
Neither of us moved.
About ten minutes later, he grinned at me. I looked around, completely mystified as to how he could see me.
The only thing visible was my eyes, and they're the color of the leaves, anyway. So then, for no reason at all ((since he couldn't see me)), I smiled back at him.
He looked away then, a small smile still on his lips. Every now and again, he would steal a glance out of the corner of his eye.
And so the day dragged on.
When I thought that I could bear no more, the bell rang, signaling end of the school day.
As usual, I waited as the students rushed home. But just as I was about to jump down, someone walked under the tree and sat down.
I cursed under my breath and waited...
... and waited ...
... and waited ...
After about a half an hour, I got impatient.
I began shifting around. The backs of my calves were hurting from the way i was sitting.
Then a voice floated up to me. I nearly fell out of the tree when I realized that it was Hiei. His voice is low and growly... very sexy.
He said, "There's either a really large bird up there, or there's a kitsune stuck up this tree."
I laughed softly to myself. Kitsune was a nickname I had received at my orphanage. Since I'm sneaky and quiet like a kitsune... a fox. I was surprised that Hiei knew that.
So I jumped down and landed right next to him.
"I thought it was you." he said.
I arched an eyebrow and asked him how he could've known.
"Because I could see your pretty red hair through the leaves," he replied, reaching his hands up to run his fingers through my hair.
I could have melted.
But I didn't... because I'm cool. Oh yeah..................... sorry... I'll stop bragging.
"And when I looked more closely, I could see your green eyes. They're much greener than the leaves."
I didn't know how to respond, so I only blushed. I know... a little girly, ne? ... Yeah? Well who asked you? Just shut up!
Anyway, after a few seconds of silence, he nodded his head towards the road and asked, "Do you wanna go hang out at the arcade, or something? Or are your parents expecting good little Suuichi home?"
I explained to him briefly that I had no family. He winked and told me, "That's good. That means we get to stay out later."
I nodded and followed him to the road and we made our way to the arcade.
After he called me 'Suuichi' a few more times, I asked him to call me Kurama.
He looked confused for a second, but shrugged and nodded.
That afternoon was the most fun I'd had ((at the time)).
We played this game called 'Dance Dance Revolution'.
It looks easy... but that's just a trick.
You have to hit each button as the arrows appear on the screen with your foot ((there's a dance pad on the ground)).
Hiei was great at it. You could tell that he had played before.
I, on the other hand, was not as graceful. I tripped and fell countless times, but laughing the whole time.
At about eight, Hiei walked me home.
The rest of the week passed similarly.
On Tuesday, Hiei took me to his neighborhood pool.
I'm not a water person... I never was. But I had fun anyway.
Then on Wednesday, we went to the park. We played tennis, basketball and went out on the boats in the lake.
I'm not an athletic person either... but I still had fun since I was with Hiei. ^_^
But on Thursday, Hiei wasn't at school. I was so sad.
But I got over it. On Friday, we went back to the arcade.
Hiei sure knows how to have fun.
So then came the weekend. I wasn't expecting to see him.
Saturday morning started out normal enough. I was sitting on the roof of my orphanage just daydreaming. Then Hiei just popped up out of nowhere.
On the roof.
Yeah... one second I was alone... the next -- *BAM* -- Hiei was there.
I guess he jumped to get up there.. I dunno.
Anyway... he asked me what I was doing and if I wanted to go skating.
I've never been skating.
But Hiei didn't mean ROLLER skating. Oh no... that would be *much* too easy.
He meant ICE skating... and hockey.
I always knew that Hiei was an ice fan. It's just something about him.
...
That was just the start of the worst day of my life.
After I finally learned how to actually stay up on the ice skates, I fell over. This asshole ((whom I had slammed into earlier on accident)) came by and sliced my arm open with his skate. He didn't waste any time getting his unnecessary revenge.
I got up to go after him, but I fell on my face.
Of course I did. It's in my nature to be a klutz.
When I sat up, Hiei was there... looking my arm over with concern.
I shrugged it off and spun around on my ass (^_^v), my back facing him and pulled my skates off. When I stood up, I was expecting Hiei to be behind me, but he was already skating off.
I looked down at my arm. It had a pretty deep gash on it and it was bleeding a lot. But that's okay, cuz I like blood. ^^
So anyway, when I walked/slipped off the ice rink, I was greeted by another boy in our class, Yusuke.
He looked concerned for me.
That made me feel all warm inside... people care.... Okay -- just shut-up....
Yusuke's one of those rebellious-I'll-kick-your-ass-if-you-even-think-about-looking-at-me-wrong guys.
He's really hot, too. He's just an inch or so shorter than me and he's got a really muscular body. The whole city knows you don't mess with Yusuke Urameshi. His eyes are a cloudy brown, really pretty to look at. And he has short ((about to his ears)) black hair that he usually slicks back.
I liked the way his hair looked then, though. It wasn't slicked back, but falling fluffily into place. His hair is so fluffy... I betcha it's soft, too.
But I won't touch it. I wouldn't dare to.
You see... Yusuke has a girlfriend.
A very slutty girlfriend.
...
Well, not really. I just hate her because I can.
So Yusuke took me off the rink and doctored up my arm.
Wasn't that sweet? Yeah... I though so, too.
But Hiei didn't.
I could tell that he was pissed when we were walking home.
He didn't talk to me at all.
Not one damn word.
He didn't even look at me.
When we go onto the dirt path that led to my orphanage, I stopped. I knew I had to do something to get Hiei back to normal. I still didn't understand why he was so upset.
So I stopped in the middle of the path.
Hiei knew that I was no longer walking with him, but he didn't look back.
Instead, he detoured off the path and sat down, resting his back on a tree. He crossed his arms... almost pouting.
I walked over and sat down beside of him. He immediately turned his head away.
So I slid closer to him, our legs touching.
I asked him what his problem was and I got silence in response.
I asked him if it had something to do with Yusuke... he still didn't answer.
So I asked him if I had done something and he grunted, as if I should know.
We sat there for about then minutes... not talking.
Before I could stop myself, I was leaning over Hiei and kissing him ((Oh yeah... tongue included... aren't I smooth?)).
At first he tried to push me away, but then he leaned forward and stole the dominance.
Damn him...
But I didn't really care, because at least he was giving me attention now.
You have to admit, though. It is a little strange that we've only known ((*really* known)) each other for about a week.
Reminds me of a story.
Got a little Romeo and Juliet action goin' on here. ^_^v
Some time later, Hiei pulled away, but we stayed together, foreheads resting against each other's.
We were breathing hard and Hiei had somehow pulled me into his lap... don't ask me how.
His hands were in my hair, brushing through it. And I had a feeling that he had wanted to do that from the beginning... from the very first time when I jumped from the tree and he felt my hair.
Then we were kissing again. Not as persistently as before, though. Still as passionate, but slowly this time.
That was when I noticed it.
Since I'm a demon, my senses are better than a human's. My sight is sharper, hearing, smell and stuff is better too, ya know?
So... I was finally *FINALLY* kissing Hiei... but I could sense someone around us. Not a human... this was definitely another demon.
I could hear it moving around in the trees. And I could smell it...
But I didn't stop Hiei... Hell, *I* didn't want to stop. So there was sat... making out for an hour or better.
Yeah... I really am smooth...
When the last kiss broke for good, I nuzzled my head up against Hiei's neck and wrapped my arms around his waist.
His hands continued to stroke through my hair.
Finally he spoke up.
"Kura... I'm sorry..."
"For what?"
"For ignoring you."
-- Insert the little *awwwwwws* you stupid humans --
"So... why weren't you talking to me, anyway?" I asked.
"Because you were ignoring me first, on the ice rink. I was going to help you with your arm... but you rushed over to let Yusuke do it."
"That's not true..."
"How is your arm anyway?" Hiei asked me, running his fingers over the makeshift bandages.
"I've had worse."
"You should've let me help you. I would have done a better job."
"I was just going to get off the rink so that jerk couldn't come back and slice me open again. when I turned around, you had already skated off. So I got out of the rink myself and then Yusuke offered to clean my arm up."
I received a grunt from Hiei.
"You... You're not jealous... are you?"
I think that snapped Hiei.
"Jealous? Why would I be jealous?! Especially just over you. It's not like you're cute or anything."
"And just what is that supposed to mean? You're not very cute either! In fact, you're down right ugly!"
Both of us were grinning and yelling. He pounced on me then, and we rolled around for awhile.
But leave it to the feeling to ruin a good moment.
I heard something in the trees again, so I stopped.
I told Hiei that maybe we should go home because it had gotten dark. And that was true. Neither of us had noticed the sun creeping down behind the horizon until now.
He rolled his eyes, "Good little Suuichi must be home before dark."
That annoyed me a lot, but I didn't say anything. I grabbed his hand and led him to the path again.
He didn't notice that we were walking away from my orphanage and towards his house. He was too busy examining the way our fingers folded together, almost fitting perfectly... as if we were molded to fit each other.
Right then I just wanted to get Hiei home safely... I was worried about him... that the demons might try something...
We walked along in silence, but a comfortable silence. I had him pulled close to me. I stood a head taller than him... so it was kind of funny.
Anyway... we arrived at his house and that's when he noticed.
"What are we doing here? I thought that *I* was taking *you* home."
So I told him that there had been a change of plans.
He didn't pursue.
Instead, he stepped up to the door, pulling me with him. He pressed his back against the door and wrapped me up in his arms.
He looked up into my eyes, "You know," he told me, "I was lying earlier. You really are cute."
"So you *were* jealous?"
"Maybe a little..."
But our perfect moment was ruined again. As I had leaned down to kiss Hiei, someone jumped out of the bushes beside the door at us.
Before I knew what had happened, my back had been slashed open. As I turned around, I saw a demon stare back; his arm was morphed into a sword.
"Kura! Are you okay?" Hiei asked quickly.
I paid Hiei no attention, though. I rushed at the demon and easily pinned him to the ground, my fingers clenched around his throat.
"Who the hell are you?!" I demanded.
But he didn't answer me.
I didn't really care, either.
I pulled him up and slammed his head onto the side walk.
It made a pretty delicious sounding crack when it collided with the concrete. The demon groaned loudly and his eyes rolled back in his head as he fell limp in my arms.
I didn't know if I had killed him or just knocked him unconscious. But that wasn't really important then.
"Suuichi... what the hell is going on?!" Hiei asked me.
I didn't know what to tell him.
"Hiei... it's kind of hard to explain. But right now... well..."
"Please... tell me what's going on." Hiei asked more calmly.
I sighed, "Not here." I knew that if there had been one demon around, there had to have been more.
"What do you mean 'not here'?!" Hiei asked angrily.
I stood up, "I mean NOT HERE. I don't think we're safe."
Hiei gave me a confused look.
Now... there are demons around that know about mine and Hiei's 'relationship' and want to kill us. What would you do?
Well, whatever you said is wrong unless you had the same idea as me ((because I'm always right)) and my idea was to run.
So I grabbed Hiei's hands and kissed him quickly, "Please... just trust me, love."
I didn't give Hiei a chance to agree or pretest, because I took off running, pulling him behind me.
I was headed straight for the woods. To the place where I had trained when I was younger.
Why?
Do you doubt my decision?
There's a cave right there by it, that's why.
Perfect hiding spot.
Yes, I was going to hide.
I finally had my Hiei and I was *not* going to lose him.
Hey.. I'll give you ten bucks if you can guess what happened when we got there.
Here... I'll give you a hint...
It starts with an 'S' and ends with an 'EX'.
Got it?
Yeah... it was great. *grins*
Making love to Hiei was like...
Okay, I'm not going to try poetry.
Of course Hiei got to be on top. Why wouldn't he? Damn dominate bastard...
Just kidding! I didn't care so much...
Now that happened just a few hours ago.
After me and Hiei had *ahem* finished with each other... we cuddled up in the far end of the cave.
He fell asleep in my arms. I was too... well... a mixture of happy, excited and scared... to sleep.
So I sat there, stroking Hiei's back rhythmically.
After about a half an hour of sitting there quietly, I shifted Hiei off of me.
I pulled my clothes on quickly and then dressed Hiei carefully.
I had the worst feeling that something terrible was going to happen.
I was scared as hell.
And you saw how my feelings had come true earlier, right?
Well, they came true again.
As much as I hate it.
You remember when I said that no one else could have Hiei ever?
Well... unfortunately I was telling the truth...
Heh.. some demons broke in.. well, you can't really *break* into a cave...
Some demons snuck in... I mean, of course they did. It's not like anything good's supposed to happen in my life.
So, yeah... They stabbed my poor Hiei right through the stomach before I could stop them.
That's what woke my love up. And the saddest part was that Hiei looked at me with the worst expression of pain and... a look like *I* had betrayed him on his face.
That hurt me... badly...
And it sent me on a killing spree.
*half-hearted grin* Those are so much fun.
There were three demons around Hiei.
I killed them all with my bare hands and escaped with only a few flesh wounds.
I turned around to the mouth of the cave and there were about five more.
They all attacked me at once.
This time I wasn't so lucky, though.
I did manage to kill them all... but they managed ((I don't know which one)) to stab me with a very jagged sword in the same manner that they had done to my poor Hiei.
Hell yeah it hurt.
But I kept fighting anyway.
After an hour or so, I killed all of the demons that were around.
I know.. go me!
There were only about twelve of them, but the last few were tougher because I was tired and the cut in my arm from the ice rink, the slice in my back from the first demon at Hiei's house, and all of the wounds I was receiving during the fight were *not* helping.
So I crawled over to Hiei and pulled him into my arms.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I found that he was still alive.
But my happiness was short-lived ((again)).
Hiei looked up to me, "Kura?"
"I'm so sorry, Hiei..." choked out.
And, despite the situation, Hiei smiled.
"You should have just told me what was going on..."
I nodded.
"Because then, maybe, I wouldn't have fallen asleep like a baby and left you to fight everyone alone." Hiei added.
"You wouldn't have been able to beat them anyway." I smiled.
"Maybe I would have surprised you..." Hiei said as he reached up to brush some tears from my cheeks.
And for you information... I was *not* crying... I.. I just have allergies... yeah... that's it...
"Kurama?"
"Yes, love?"
"Promise me that you won't forget me.
"I would never... you know that."
Then Hiei smiled up at me again and I couldn't help but smile back.
But then he coughed suddenly, a deep throaty cough... that brought up blood. Not a lot.. just a trickle down hi cheek.
Great... he had an internal wound... fun fun...
I leaned down and kissed Hiei, then. Slowly and with all the love and passion that I had in me.
I had the dominance.
No, I was *not* happy about that.
You wanna know why?
Because Hiei didn't have to strength in him to fight me for the dominance.
When I pulled away, Hiei had a faraway look in his eyes.
"Hiei?"
I got no response.
"Hiei?!"
"...hm?" he said quietly.
"Don't do that!"
"...do...what?"
He was talking in a low voice.. and slowly.
"I thought... never mind..." I said as I pulled Hiei up close to my chest, his head resting on my shoulder.
"I..." Hiei started.
I stroked my fingers through his hair, "You what?"
"Kura... I love you..."
I gasped quietly. I hadn't been expecting him to say that.
"You do?"
I felt Hiei nod against my neck.
I pulled him up to stare into his eyes. He was just as beautiful as when I first saw him.
"I love you, too, Hiei... I love you so much..."
And we were kissing again.
..............
That was a little over an hour ago.
No if I try to kiss Hiei.. he won't kiss back.
His limp body rests in my arms, cuddled against my body.
Soon, I will be just like Hiei.
I don't *have* to be, though.
I *am* a demon.
But I've lost the will to live.
I finally found love.
And that took me six hundred years.
But now it's gone.
As quick as that...
Kind of romantic, isn't it?
Us both dying at the same time.
Oh yeah... it just warms your heart.
Heh... okay. Now I feel better since I told my story to *someone*.
Even if it was *you*... a stupid human.
But I found out humans aren't *that* bad... Hiei was a human...
Alright.... I'm done blabbing...
...
...
...
Six hundred years is long enough to live, anyway... don't you think?
A shame... I...
I... really.... was starting to........ enjoy this ... life.....
