Forgotten
Epilogue
Standard
YYH disclaimer
Thank you so much to all those people who made so many good comments on this fic. But sadly, it has come to its very last part. I started writing this in February and I thought it wasn’t such a good story, but I was surprised at how many people that said that it was a great fic. *Sobs* It makes me so happy to know my work is appreciated.

Kurama
smiled happily as he walked through the gates of Meiow high. He was walking
towards home and he couldn’t be anymore happier. He caught up with all the
lessons he missed while on their previous mission and even aced a chemistry
test today.
But…he
hadn’t seen Hiei yet. After bringing him to Yukina’s and getting all of his
wounds healed, Mukuro suddenly called him and left. He hadn’t seen his fire
demon for almost a week. He was getting a little upset.
The
youko’s eyes lost a little of its gleam as he trudged up the stairs towards his
room. Inkling visions in his mind that when he opened the door that Hiei was
there, sitting on the window and polishing his katana.
He
sighed. He knew there was no chance that Hiei was there, but it didn’t hurt to
dream, right?
He
reached his room and stopped outside the door. He felt nervous, he was
wondering if he should go inside, and discover that Hiei wasn’t in there.
Just
open the door, Baka! A voice
scolded him. It’s your room. Who cares if Hiei isn’t in there? He’ll come
back; he said he wouldn’t leave you.
The
kitsune finally closed his hand around the doorknob after a few minutes of
hesitation and turned it, a soft ‘click’ welcoming him.
He
stepped inside the room and closed the door behind him softly. He let his head
remain bowed; he didn’t want to see the room empty.
He
was silent, his eyes brimming with tears. He missed Hiei so much. It hurt him
to know that after he had risked his life for the fire demon, Hiei didn’t even
acknowledge him after the event and just left for Mukuro.
“Oi,
fox. Aren’t you going to say anything?” Hiei’s deep voice reached his ears and
he looked up in surprise.
Sitting
on the window polishing his katana was Hiei, the wind outside playing with his
jet-black hair and ruffling his clothes.
Kurama
smiled broadly. He couldn’t believe it, Hiei was here, and he was even
positioned the same way he thought about a moment ago. The fire demon stepped
down from his seat and walked towards his fox and wrapped his arms around
Kurama’s middle.
Kurama
was surprised and glad at the gesture and he hugged the youkai back. “I’m so
glad you’re here, Hiei.” He whispered and buried his nose in Hiei’s black hair.
It smelled of forests in the Makai. He loved how Hiei always smelled after he
had just returned from Makai. It smelled of home.
He
leaned back and kissed Hiei on the nose. “Do you want something to eat? I can
get something if you want.” He offered.
Hiei
shook his head. “I want to tell you something.” He said. Kurama noted that he
was nervous, by the way his youki was acting, it was in frenzy. This must be
really important to get Hiei so worked up.
Hiei
removed his arms from Kurama. He took in a deep breath and kneeled on one knee.
Kurama’s eyes widened. “Hiei what the-?”
“Don’t
interrupt me.” Hiei growled. He took in a deep breath again. “I’m sorry.” He
spoke.
Kurama
was speechless. “Hiei why are you saying that you’re sorry? You didn’t do
anything.”
Hiei
looked up and bore his eyes into Kurama’s. “Misami may have erased my memories
but once the spell is broken, everything that I have done during that time
comes into my mind.”
He
took Kurama’s hand and rubbed his thumb over the smooth knuckles. “I know what
I did. I almost killed Yuusuke and Kuwabara…most especially…I almost killed
you…” He murmured softly. “I don’t want to hurt you, kitsune. I would kill
myself first before I hurt you. And-and that punch, I-“ His voice was cut off
when Kurama suddenly kissed him.
Hiei
was caught in surprise but kissed Kurama back passionately. He hadn’t kissed
his kitsune for days and he was glad for this opportunity.
They
pulled away and Kurama smiled at him gently, his face flushed and his lips
shining. Hiei thought that he was more beautiful.
Kurama
ran a finger through Hiei’s lips, whispering softly as he ran over his cheeks
and eyebrows. “Hiei, you never did anything. You didn’t hurt me…so don’t worry,
it’s over, Misami’s never going to bother us again.” He kissed Hiei again and
helped him to stand up.
Kurama
pulled his little koorime towards him and nuzzled their noses. “Ai shitteru,
Hiei…” He whispered and kissed him again. When they pulled away, Kurama was
giving him that Look. It made Hiei smirk in anticipation.
Kurama
pulled Hiei by the hand towards his bed and both fell down on the downy
mattress. “I’m glad that you came back Hiei. We have a lot of catching up to
do.” He murmured as he played with Hiei’s lower lip.
“Hn.”
Came Hiei’s answer as a black tank top went flying across the room and landing
on the window.
