Part 6: Disbelieving

Standard YYH disclaimer

Note: Woohoo!! I’m having soooo much fun writing this fic. The moment everybody is waiting for: Will Kurama accept Hiei or not? Will I let them be together or will I torture them first? I’m so evil aren’t I? Bwahahahahahahaha!!!

 

*^^*

 

“Hiei…” Kurama whispered. He looked the fire demon in the eye, beautiful crimson eyes. He didn’t know if he was dreaming or not. His hand started to tremble and he couldn’t do anything to stop it. Everyone in the room was staring at Hiei, shocked at seeing the fire demon again.

 

Shock, relief and excitement filled him all at once. A crash broke the silence, and it registered faintly in the youko’s mind that he’d let go of his bowl and it broke on the floor causing the loud crash.

 

“Oh, Kurama-san you’re bleeding!” Yukina exclaimed softly. Kurama didn’t even know that pieces of porcelain grazed his long and graceful hands. Kurama cracked a small smile. “Gomen, Yuusuke. I’ll just replace this bowl with another one.”

 

The black-haired boy shook his head. “You don’t have to. It was an accident.”

 

Hiei walked towards Kurama and kneeled in front of him. The fire demon hesitated for a moment, and then took Kurama’s hand in his own. “Daijoubo?” Hiei asked, his face blank.

 

Kurama could feel his face getting hot as Hiei examined his hand. He pulled his hand away from Hiei’s and placed it on his lap. “I’m okay.” He answered. “Welcome back, Hiei…” He looked up and graced the demon with a welcoming smile. But inside he wanted to hug the demon, kiss him. But something inside had doubts. Why did Hiei come back?

 

Kurama moved away from Hiei a little as everybody crowded around the Jaganshi. “Yo, shrimp! How have you been?” Kuwabara clapped Hiei on the back.

 

“Hn. Your still the same idiot three years ago.” Hiei commented.

 

“Teme!”

 

Kuram edged away from the group and walked out the door. He left the ramen house and started to walk towards his apartment.

 

The youko turned around and looked back at the ramen house. Hiei had come back. It was true but the fox just couldn’t let himself believe it.

 

He raised his left hand. The blood had dried, and the tingly feeling was still there when Hiei had held it. Did this mean that Hiei had come back for him?

 

He shook his head. No. That couldn’t be it, Hiei had made it clear three years ago that he didn’t want anything to do with him. Besides, he has a fiancée now. He was getting married in five months. He’d moved on. Maybe Hiei had come back for his sister. Yeah, that was it, for Yukina.

 

But why did it feel like his heart was breaking into a million pieces?
