With you

Part 3: Thinking of you (Hey! That was a title for one of my previous fics!)

Standard YYH disclaimer

Note: I really enjoy writing this fic, it’s been long since I wrote any sap and drama. Too much action and conflicts, but that fic is still my fave. *Grins* Hope you like it minna-san! On with the fic!

 

*^^*

 

The stars were so beautiful...

 

Kurama hugged his knees to his chest, a dull ache within his chest. Hiei hadn't come back yet. He last saw the fire demon 3 years ago.

 

3 years...

 

How could this have happened? He couldn't understand it. He told himself that life would go on. He kept telling himself that for the last three years, though his body had moved on. His heart hadn't. He was still madly in love. With a rotten-tempered fire demon named Hiei.

 

His eyes landed on a picture frame on his desk. It was the image of his mother, her face frozen in a smiling mask.

 

The kitsune could feel the tears prickling behind his eyelids.

 

She died. Two years ago, in a car accident that killed not only her. but his stepfather as well. Shuuichi managed to survive the accident and was now living with his aunt not far from his apartment.

 

A knock on the door jolted him out of his reverie.

 

"Come in."

 

The door opened and a pretty brown head poked in.

 

"Dinners ready." Maya, his fiancee, said cheerfully.

 

"I'm sorry, Maya. But I'm really not that hungry." Kurama answered.

 

A crease formed in Maya's forehead. "Are you sure your well? I could bring you some soup if-"

 

"No, I'm fine really." Kurama cut in.

 

"Okay...But if you need anything. Just call me okay?" Maya said. Kurama nodded at her and she closed the door.

 

He sighed wearily. It sounds so ironic, doesn't it? The youko thought. Here he was, still nursing a broken-heart. At the same time having a fiancee that was supposed to forget about him when he was ten. When he first met Hiei.

 

It was such a coincidence when he met Maya again a week after Shiori died. Kurama could still feel the warmth and friendliness the girl had around her. And he decided that day to move on, to forget about Hiei and move on with his ningen life. He was a jerk, asking for marriage from a dear friend even if he was still hung up with someone.

 

But you still haven't moved on, haven't you? A voice mocked inside. You still haven't moved on. Your really pathetic! Your a thousand-year old youko! You could make anyone fall on their knees, begging for you to ackonwledge them.

 

"No that's not true," He whispered to no one in particular.

 

But it's true isn't it? Forget about that bastard! He doesn't know what he's missing, Forget about that arrogant, insensitive and unwanted koorime! You could do better! The voice mocked.

 

"Stop it!" He whispered forcefully, "I don't want this pain anymore...Just go away!!"

 

The voice stopped and Kurama sagged against the window's frame. He let go of one of his knees and let it dangle above the floor. He could clearly remember that Hiei always sat on his window in this position.

 

Hiei...

 

Please...

 

Please come back...

 

Please come back...

 

I can't bear this pain anymore...

 

I love you so much...
