*Sigh* ignore me. Just enjoy the fic!!
*^^*
Maya
cocked her head quizzically to one side. Maybe everyone didn’t notice it, but
she did. She turned her gaze to Hiei.
Hiei
was standing alone, his red eyes staring dejectedly where Shuuichi was standing
minutes before. She could’ve sworn…but…Hiei looked like he was a hair’s breadth
away from braking down…like Shuuichi did.
She
noticed their exchange of glances, and the look of shock that crossed her
fiancé’s features. She knew she should be jealous at the attention Hiei was
giving to Shuuichi, but she wasn’t feeling the least bit jealous, in fact, she
even felt a little sorry.
She
shook her head. Maybe if she talked to Shuuichi later she’d feel better. She
didn’t even notice that she was staring down at her toes and looked up to see
Hiei still in the same position.
Unable
to hide her concern for the man, Maya walked up to him and placed a hand on his
shoulder.
“Daijoubo,
Hiei-san?”
Hiei
seemed startled at her sudden presence and regained his composure. Maya smiled
at him gently and he flushed uncomfortably. “Uh, betsuni.”
“Are
you sure? I can get you something if you like, a drink?”
Hiei
shook his head and took a few steps away from her. “I’m fine…” And as if on
second thought, he added. “Doumo.” And he disappeared into the crowd.
*^^*
Kurama
sighed tiredly and pulled back the covers on his bed. Finally, the party was
over and he could rest.
Just
as he was about to lie back, his door opened and Maya’s head poked in.
“Sleeping already?”
“Hai.
I’ll help with the cleaning tomorrow, just leave everything and I’ll fix it in
the morning.” He replied.
Maya
waved her hand nonchalantly. “Don’t worry about it. The girls and I will finish
it. Just rest. You had a long day.” She smiled at him brightly.
Kurama
couldn’t help smiling back at her. “If you don’t finish it just leave it to me,
okay?”
“Hai!
We will, sir!” Maya gave him a mock-salute. “Oyasumi!” She closed the door
behind him.
Kurama
whispered ‘Oyasumi’ before settling down on the bed and closing his eyes,
waiting for sleep to claim him.
*^^*
A
pair of crimson orbs watched the redheaded figure sleeping on the bed. Watching
the rise and fall of Kurama’s chest.
Before
he could change his mind, he jumped nimbly through the open window into the
kitsune’s room. Just like what he did three years ago, he always surveyed the
room, like he was searching for unwanted enemies.
The
fire demon slowly crept towards the bed and kneeled before it. He allowed his
feelings to flow through his features, his mouth turning up into a wistful
smile and his eyes turning into tender rubies.
He
reached out a hand and stroked Kurama’s hair with unbearable affection. His
hand reached down to the fox’s cheek and he cupped it lightly. His eyes staring
longingly at the full, pink lips that he so badly wanted to touch with his own.
He
ran his fingers over those lips and chuckled quietly when Kurama’s lips
twitched into a gentle smile.
“I
may not have a big castle or mountains of riches. I may not be the romantic
person you want to spend the rest of your life with. But I tell you this,
kitsune…I will give you everything that I can, whatever you want…” Hiei
whispered softly.
Hiei
wanted to stay there. In fact, he wanted to stay there forever. But he
couldn’t.
With
a sigh, Hiei laid his head on his arm and gazed wistfully at Kurama’s face. He
just wanted to stay here, even if only for a few hours.
Against
his will, he closed his eyes as sleep claimed him.
