Hiei
winced slightly at the loud music booming from the house as he, Yuusuke, and
the rest of their friends arrived at Kurama’s apartment.
“’Bout
time Kurama gets married! I actually thought he was gay or somethin’” Shizuru
commented and took a drag from her cigarette.
Hiei ignored the nervousness stirring at the pit of his stomach
and stared straight ahead. Everybody has been talking about the upcoming
wedding ever since his return and every word was depleting the last shreds of
hope he had.
He shoved his hands into his pockets. He was already dreading
that he made a mistake in coming here. What if Kurama saw him and got mad at
him? Maya did invite him…but…
A hand on his shoulder brought Hiei out of his reverie. “What?”
He asked impatiently. Yuusuke ignored him and retrieved his hand from Hiei’s
shoulder. “We were asking you what you thought of Maya. Do you think she’s good
enough for Kurama?”
Hiei shrugged, pretending that he was fine with whatever they talked
about. But inside, it wasn’t fine. He was scared, yes he was. The famous
forbidden child, wielder of the Kokuryuuha, scared of a small, weak, ningen
woman. Why?
Because she had everything that could destroy his life forever.
*^^*
Kurama started slightly as a black cloth was folded over his
eyes. He already knew who was behind all this. “What are you doing, Maya?”
A faint giggle was heard and a soft voice spoke. “Your surprise
has arrived!”
The youko couldn’t help a small smile grace his figures. “Where
is it?”
Maya grabbed his hand. “I’ll lead you there.” They were silent
as Kurama hanged on to Maya’s hand. It was really hard for him to walk around
with one of his senses blocked and he stumbled a couple of times.
His other senses told him he was in a dark place. And it smelled
strongly of bleach. Maybe he was in the Garage? He wasn’t sure.
The blindfold was taken off his head and he blinked in the dim
light. Maya squeezed his hand tighter and he responded by squeezing back.
“Ready?” She asked excitedly.
“Hai. I’m ready.”
“1…2…3…” She flipped open the light.
“SURPRISE!!”
Kurama blinked. Shocked. Gathered around the garage were all of
his friends, not just from work, but the ones from his college days too.
Friends started flocking the redhead, either the guys clapping
him on the back or the girls giggling and commenting what a wonderful husband
he will be.
Through the throng of the crowd, a black figure caught his eye
and his heart seemed to stop.
Hiei…Hiei was standing in the corner, staring at him melancholy
with his beautiful crimson eyes. Memories of their kiss flashed before Kurama’s
eyes…the pain of rejection three years ago…his undying care for the fire
demon…always risking his life for him…
“Uh, G-g-gomen. I’ll be right back.” Kurama uttered lamely
before bolting from the room. His eyes were starting to get hot, tears
threatening to spill over.
He barely made it to his room and slammed the door behind him
before the first crystalline tear made it’s way down his cheek.
