Hiei
stood outside the door of Yuusuke’s apartment. He didn’t know why he came here,
he just did. He ran a hand through his untidy hair. He had a pounding headache.
He
was in so much pain. It felt like someone ripped off his heart from his chest,
and that someone was a beautiful youko named Kurama.
Before
he could stop himself, he knocked on the wooden door. He stared down at his
boots, he felt so vulnerable, like a minor wind can knock him over. He felt his
eyes grow hot, a sign that he was about to cry, something that he’d been doing
for the last hour until now.
He
wrapped his cloak tighter around himself. He suddenly felt cold, not only on
the outside but on the inside as well. The door opened a few minutes later and
Yuusuke’s sleepy face poked out.
“Hiei?
What are you doing here? Its 3 o’clock in the morning.” He opened the door
fully and Hiei walked in without saying a word.
They
entered the living room in silence, Hiei sat down on the sofa, looking like he
was half-dead. Yuusuke noted.
“I
came back from Kurama’s house.” Hiei uttered.
Yuusuke
waited for him to continue, but the fire demon remained silent. This could take
a while. “Well, what did you do there?” The former tantei asked. Hiei almost
looked like he was about to cry.
Hiei
stood up. “He threw me out. He said that I should leave him alone.” He took a
few steps toward the window.
“Nani?
Kurama wouldn’t do that!” Yuusuke exclaimed in shock. Never in a million years
would Kurama do that, he always treated Hiei nicely, like Hiei was an expensive
porcelain doll that was to be taken care of.
“But
he did.” Came Hiei’s clipped reply. The fire demon stood stock-still for a
moment. Reality crashed down on him and a startling notion presented itself in
his mind.
Kurama
didn’t love him.
Kurama
would marry Maya and have a dozen kids with her.
They
weren’t best friends anymore.
He
found it hard to breathe. He just lost one of the most precious people in his
life. A thought came to his mind; yes he wanted to do it. He wanted to end his
pain.
He
wanted to die.
Yuusuke’s
eyes widened as Hiei suddenly lunged forward and fell down on the floor in an
unconscious heap.
“Hiei!”
