The dull sound of Hiei's feet hitting the floor rang through the
dark hallway as the fire demon made his way towards the dungeons where the
spirit detectives they captured before were held.
He jingled the keys in his left hand and the whip Misami gave him
in the other. Misami gave him the whip and said that he could have some fun and
torture they're visitors.
The fire demon thought about who he would visit and decided to go
to the redhead. Misami gave him some info about the redhead and told him that
it was Youko Kurama. Makai's most fearful thief.
Hiei's mouth turned down into a frown as he pictured Kurama's face
in his mind. He had been the one who brought the youko to his cell and he
noticed that the youko seemed familiar to him. The crimson hair...the fair
complexion...
He shook his head. He didn't know him, this is the first time he
saw Kurama. He even asked Misami about it. He could still hear her voice
saying: "We've never met that damn youko before..."
He reached the cell and jingled the key into the lock.
*^^*
Kurama's eyes shot open and immediately he was washed over with
exhaustion.
He looked around his surroundings and reality came crashing down
that they were caught and he was now in a cell. He was warded too. He noted
when he finally noticed that he was tied to a chair with wards on his arms and
legs, even his hair had a ward tied around it. Whoever caught them must know
them pretty well to have known that he could control plants through his hair.
He tried to move and winced when the wards and rope burned against
his skin. He gave up and decided that he can't get away. The wards were slowly
depleting his energy.
He heard a key jingle into a lock and he snapped his gaze to the
ward-covered door. Ready to meet his captor. His emerald eyes widened when his
captor stepped into the room.
"Hiei..." Kurama whispered unbelievingly. The fire demon
took several steps towards the surprised youko and smirked.
"I see you're already awake. Hn. Saves time." Hiei
cracked his whip angrily.
Kurama stared at Hiei and couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Hiei was here to torture him? No! Hiei wouldn't do that to him. Would he?
"Hiei...What are you doing?" He asked.
The jaganshi remained silent and walked up to him. He took
something out of his coat pocket and held it up Kurama's face.
Kurama squinted at the ward and looked up at Hiei.
Hiei quickly untied the ward on his hair and replaced it with the
one he brought. "I couldn't risk you getting awa..." He trailed off
when he locked his eyes with Kurama.
Kurama's body moved automatically and his face inched closer to
Hiei's closer...and closer...
And captured Hiei's lips in a kiss.
