Yaoi of course ^_^

Hiei stood on a tree outside Kurama’s apartment. Nervously
biting his lip in an effort not to run away. He had gathered information on
where Kurama lived now before going to the Ningenkai, but he didn’t stick
around much after hearing where the fox lived.
A strong wind picked up and his black jacket fluttered around
him. He pulled the soft fabric tighter around his body. Could he face Kurama
now? Could he come back after what he’d done? Was he still welcome?
You won’t know unless you try, right? A
voice spoke. Hiei nodded. He flitted over to the door, and before he could run
away he rang the doorbell. He could hear the sound reverbrating throughout the
apartment. He waited but no one answered.
The fire demon rang the doorbell again. Still no answer. He took
a piece of paper out of his pocket. This was the place right? He checked to
make sure.
The door opposite Kurama’s apartment suddenly opened and a
middle-aged man stepped out. “Do you mind if you stopped making noise? My
daughter is trying to sleep!” The man shouted sarcastically at Hiei.
Hiei raised himself to his full-height and was filled with
satisfaction when he found out that he was much taller than the man. The man
cringed fearfully at Hiei’s glare and cleared his throat loudly. “Sumimasen.
But can I help you?”
“Hn.” He dropped his glare. That’s more like it. “I’m
looking for Ku-I mean, Minamino Shuuichi. He does live here right?”
The man was silent for a while, and then his face brightened.
“Oh, you mean that beautiful redheaded boy with green eyes?” Hiei nodded
curtly.
“He does live here, but he left a while ago. I think I heard him
say something about a ramen house or somethi-“
“Doumo” Hiei uttered and he was gone. The man stared at the
place were the black-haired boy was standing before and shook his head. “Kids,
what they do these days…”
Trees blurred past Hiei as he pushed his legs to the limit, the
ramen house where Yuusuke works (Gomen, I don’t know what’s it called ^_^).
Breathing heavily from excitement, the fire demon stood outside
the ramen house’s doors. He almost smiled, nothing has changed at all, it still
looked like the way it did three years ago where the Reikai tantei’s sometimes
meet.
He closed his crimson eyes. Old times were good.
He grew more anxious when he opened the door. The smell of
cooked ramen floated to him and he suddenly remembered how hungry he was.
Hiei walked over to the counter, Yuusuke was there, still
working. He hasn’t changed too. Yuusuke still had his hair slicked back but his
face was more mature.
“Yuusuke.” He called to the raven-haired tantei. Yuusuke looked
up from chopping vegetables and his jaw dropped open when he saw who it was.
“Hiei!!” Yuusuke exclaimed, running over to his old friend and
giving him a welcome hug.
“Che! Let go of me, Baka!” Hiei squirmed.
“It is you, Hiei!” Yuusuke laughed and let him go. “Gods. It’s
been so long since I’ve seen you. Whoa!” He finally noticed that Hiei was
almost as tall as him. “You’ve grown too! Before you were short. Now, your only
a few inches shorter!”
“Hn.”
“C’mon, everybody is upstairs! I bet they’ll be glad to see
you!” Yuusuke started to drag Hiei upstairs.
Hiei’s pulse raced. This is it. He was finally going to know if
Kurama still loved him. They reached the door on the top of the stairs and
Yuusuke opened it excitedly.
“Minna! Look who’s back?” Yuusuke pushed Hiei in the room.
Almost everybody was there. Hiei blood-red eyes looked around. Botan, Kuwabara,
Yukina, Keiko, Shizuru…Kurama.
Hiei never thought that it was possible. But Kurama was more
beautiful, his breath hitched. Every pair of eyes was on him. But one caught
his attention.
“Hiei…” Kurama whispered. His green eyes boring into Hiei’s
crimson ones. Kurama’s hands trembled violently and he accidentally let go of
the bowl of ramen he was holding and it crashed to the floor.
