Chapter 14
Ugh. I just gave blood yesterday and my arm is still sore.
Hiei-idiot.
Can’t you come up with something more original to say?
Hiei-Why? It describes you perfectly.
Oh shut up. This chapter was supposed to have more in it but then it got waay too long.
Chapter 14
Hiei leaped from tree to tree. He knew he was late but he didn’t really care. He still wasn’t sure what had compelled him to agree to come in the first place. The detective was having yet another get-together and as usual it was at Genkai’s
The only reason he could think of as to why he agreed to come was to see if the oaf was actually doing as well as Yukina had said he was. Hiei had rarely seen Kuwabara sense that day at the beach almost a year ago.
Kurama would keep him updated on his condition whenever he saw the green-eyed human. Last Hiei had heard, Kuwabara and the detective had become involved in a sexual relationship, and sense then his health had gone up.
He landed in front of the temples main entrance. Kuwabara was sitting on the steps bent over something. Hiei recognized it as one of his drawings.
He was using black chalk and as Hiei approached him he saw that he was drawing the forest that Hiei had just come out of.
“Hey, Hiei.” He greeted him, without glancing up from his work.
“Hn. Why are you doing that human? For one of you classes?”
“No. Fun.”
“Fun? How is that fun?”
“Because I’m making something.”
“You’re making a copy.”
“An image. I’m trying to put most of the emphasis on the trees’ battle scars.”
“Battle scars?”
“You guys do a lot of training her and the trees take on a good bit of damage. Burns, broken limbs, chunks missing. And some damage from animals too.”
“Hn. I still don’t see how that’s fun.”
Kuwabara shrugged and kept working.
“Hey Hiei, come in here!” Yusuke called from inside. He, Kurama and Genkai were sitting on the floor in a circle around some more pictures.
“What do you want now?”
Yusuke smiled and held out the pictures to him. “If you’re taking an interest in art than you take a look at some of Kuwa’s other works.”
“I wasn’t taking an interest detective. I was merely trying to figure out how the oaf could find something so mundane fun.”
“It’s not mundane, Hiei.” Said Kurama “It takes a lot of concentration and attention to detail. It’s actually pretty complicated.”
“Hn.” Hiei grabbed the pictures and looked at them. He had intended to just glance at them and toss them aside, showing that he didn’t care. But one look at the first one made him stop and look more closely.
It was an image of a young girl in a simple white dress and white hair standing at the edge of a cliff. Her back was toward the audience and she looked down on what had obviously once been a very beautiful city.
Now however. The city of white buildings lay in rubble with smoke rising from it. Somehow though, the sky still seemed so bright, with the sun shining radiantly. But going up higher the sky turned black. And two fierce eyes with red veins glared down at the girl.
Hiei was awed at how beautifully drawn it was. Flipping to the next one he saw another image even more stunning. This one had been painted with bright, vibrant colors. Two hands cupped a pool of blood, pouring it. As the blood fell it turned into sparkling water. The water was made to look like it had just fallen from a waterfall into a cool, placid lake. The water reflected a full moon, but the sky where the hands were was filled with white clouds and sunlight.
Hiei looked at four more pictures and noticed a pattern. “Why do none of the people have faces? He shows parts of the human body and occasionally a full figure. But all of them are facing away. You can’t see their faces.”
Yusuke took the pictures back. “Dunno. He says he just makes them the way he sees them in his head. He’s got others at his school that are being placed on exhibit. He actually won an award for the one with the hands and the lake. The one with the girl he just finished yesterday.”
“Hn.”
The alarm on Yusuke’s phone went off. “What’s that?” Hiei asked.
“It’s time for Kuwa’s meds.” He was fishing around in a little brown bag. He found what he was looking for just as Kuwabara came in.
“I hate these things.” He whined. “They taste nasty.” He took two coal colored pills from Yusuke and swallowed them dry. He sat down next to his boyfriend who gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
“How have you been feeling lately Kuwabara?” asked Kurama.
“Kuwabara shrugged. “All right, I guess. I still get tired in the middle of the day but not as much as before.”
Kurama smirked. “That’s probably Yusuke’s fault.”
“Hey! We don’t have sex that much!” the detective yelled.
Everyone laughed.
Two hours later and the sun began to set. The girls had arrived shortly after Hiei and they had spent the majority of the time talking, laughing and just horsing around. At one point Botan had turned on some real fast music and then they were all jumping around like maniacs pretending to dance. Kuwabara was jumping on the couch, Botan and Shizuru were doing *something* on the table, no one was sure what. Kurama and Yukina were swing dancing together and Genkai was content to just watch. Yusuke was going around with a video camera, getting everyone looking like idiots.
After ten minutes of this stupidity Hiei couldn’t take it anymore and went outside. Finding a spot on the railing of the front porch he sighed and closed his eyes, listening to the festivities inside.
“You hiding?”
Hiei cracked open an eye in annoyance to look at the detective. “Hn. I couldn’t stand to remain in the same room with those people.”
“Come on Hiei, it’s fun!”
“That is not my definition of ‘fun’.”
Yusuke smiled. “Than what would you call fun?”
Hiei gave him a look. “You really need me to answer that?”
“I guess not. Knowing you, you’re favorite thing to do is probably cut off demons’ heads.”
Hiei smirked. Yusuke leaned against the rail next to his friend and watched the sun set. They sat in silence for a while, just watching.
“It’s a beautiful day today.” Yusuke said.
“Hn.” More silence.
“Why does Kuwabara still have to take those pills? I thought there was no longer any sign of his disease.”
Yusuke sighed. “It’s to keep it from coming back. He’s fine now, the disease is gone. But the doc says it can still come back. It’s called a remission.”
“But as long as he takes those drugs it wont come back?”
“Shouldn’t.”
A few more minutes of silence.
Yusuke straightened and Hiei sat up. Both were looking out into the forest.
“Did you feel something?” asked Yusuke.
“Yes. But it was very weak.”
“Hm. Then it was probably nothing. I’m going back in.” Hiei remained, trying to find the energy source he’d sensed. It had been there for only a moment, a flicker. And it had been so weak he’d barely felt it. ‘Probably just some weakling passing by.’ But he kept an eye out nonetheless.
Hiei-idiot.
