Hiei regarded the apartment building in front of him with hurt
and confused eyes. He noticed Kurama leave they’re reunion earlier and he couldn’t
help feeling a little hurt. Why did Kurama leave? Was the fox mad at him? The
fire demon led himself to the door of Kurama’s apartment for the second time
that day.
He raised his hand to ring the doorbell but his hand fell down
in dismay. He sighed deeply and rubbed the nape of his neck in an effort to
comfort himself. It didn’t matter. He wasn’t welcome anymore.
He was alone again, forever the forbidden child who was cast
away from his own home, the heartless killer who was feared in the Makai.
Alone, never to feel the warmth of a person who was loved.
He was about to turn away and go back to the Makai when the door
suddenly flew open and revealed Kurama’s smiling face, his green eyes
sparkling.
“Hiei?” A fleeting pain showed in his face but was quickly gone
and was quickly replaced by an emotionless mask with a simple smile.
Kurama stepped out into the hallway and closed the door behind
him. “What are you doing here Hiei? I thought you were at the ramen house with
the others?”
Hiei was taken aback with Kurama’s tone of voice. He spoke
too…calmly. Too composed. Like nothing happened between them three years ago.
Nothing did happen. You left him that night, remember? A
voice reminded him. Hiei ignored the voice. “I left. It was too boring there.”
Silence stretched between them. “Can we take a walk? I-I wanted to tell you
something but you left so quickly.” He spoke nervously to break the tension.
“Uh, sure. But could we go to the store first? I have to pick up
some-“ His answer was cut off when the door opened again and a pretty girl
poked her head out.
“Oh, Shuuichi. I forgot to tell you to pick up some pickles…”
Her voice trailed off as she saw Hiei standing there.
“Konnichiwa, I’m sorry, but I haven’t met you before. Maybe you
could introduce us Shuu-chan?” She uttered sweetly.
Kurama nodded. He turned to the brown-haired girl. “Maya, this
is Hiei. He was my best friend 3 years ago. He just got back from a business
trip.”
He turned to the fire demon, whose heart was beating madly at
the sight of another girl in Kurama’s home. “Hiei, this is Maya…My fiancée. I
met her 2 years ago after my Kaasan’s death. We’re getting married in 5
months.”
Pain stabbed Hiei’s heart. Fiancée? Marriage? In five months? He
felt like the weight of all the three worlds were crashing down on him.
His world was falling apart. All his dreams of warm kisses,
living together in a den in the Makai and spending his whole life with this
beautiful creature all crumbled into dust and all he wanted to do now was run
back into the Makai and just drown himself on one of the deepest swamps there.
“Oh, well Omedetou to you both.” He managed to choke out
politely. He pretended that he was checking a non-existent watch on his wrist
and looking up apologetically at them. “Gomen, but I really have to go. Nice to
see you again, Kurama.” He spoke before walking away.
He was 4 blocks away from the building before he fell down on
his knees. A ningen asked if he was all right and he shook off the woman’s
concern. It hurt. It hurt too much. If you haven’t left him three years ago,
you would have been together. You were supposed to be the one living in there
with him! Not that girl!
It’s your entire fault!
It’s your entire fault!
Your entire fault!!
“STOP IT!!” Hiei screamed, oblivious to all the people who were
startled at his shout. He jumped up on a tree and ran at full speed. Unmindful
of where to go, he just wanted to get away from Kurama. Knowing that he lost
his chance of being loved by the most beautiful creature in the world.
And it was his entire fault.
