General A/N: I don’t own the characters or show. I’m bad at editing, if I do it at all, so there will most likely be errors. I’m updating chapter by chapter so I’m not sure how often I’ll update, but I’ll try to make it soon. And lastly this story is told by Hiei’s POV.

I’m glad most of you (at least the ones that reviewed) like my idea of the vampire Hiei.
There isn’t a lemon in this chapter *hides behind something* but don’t worry. There will be.


Eternal Darkness
Part 2: The Party
Ravenx

I have decided that tonight I will tell Kurama what I truly am. After going over it in my mind several times I have yet to figure out how to tell him. But I count on the fact that he is good-natured to take the news well. But I have still braced myself for an attack of some kind. Probably verbal.

And I have decided not to fight back, verbally or physically, if he does so. Any body else and I would. But this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. He may yell but I know he will accept me sooner or later and I can start to, as some would say, court him.

I arrive outside of his bedroom window like I do almost every night. I can’t help wanting to see him. Sometimes I just sit out here and watch him silently. I hide my ki so that he cannot detect it. I love to watch him.

Sometimes he’s at his desk doing that stupid ningen homework that that school assigns him. I still have yet to figure out why he insists on going to learn things. He is old enough to know almost everything he could possible need to know. But since being born in that beautiful ningen body he has chosen to live just like a human would.

Other times he is found in his bed sleeping. With that shining red hair laid out around him. It looks so soft, what I wouldn’t give to be able to wrap my hands in it or run them through it. It still amazes me that he keeps all his seeds in there but you can’t see them.

But tonight he is doing neither. As a matter of fact he isn’t even in his room. But I feel his ki signature coming up the stairs. He must of sensed me, I didn’t hide my ki this time because I want to come in. I need to.

I see him enter his room and flip on the light covering the room in yellow. It’s a fairly normal looking room. A desk with chair, a bed, nightstand, and a dresser. His closet is near the door and there is a couple of plants that litter the floor near the window.

I thought he would hit me once when I came in one night and stepped on one of them. I don’t think I ever saw him get so mad about something so small. But his eyes were the only thing that let me know just how angry he was. He just told me to be careful and that he would use his ki to help the plant recover.

His eyes are so emotional that I know tonight I will either see anger, betrayal, or acceptance in them no matter what his lips say. He has come straight to the window with a smile on his face. I try not to take that as hope, he always smiles like that at everyone, even strangers. He’s that kind of person.

“Hello Hiei. Please come in.”

His voice is like silk. What I would give to have him calling my name out at the top of his lungs. But I must not get ahead of myself. I have come here for a reason.

“Have a seat Hiei.” He has taken a seat on the bed.

I have never been a nervous person but I do believe I am one now. My palms are even starting to sweat. He looks so beautiful just sitting there watching me. That smile is still there. I can’t think of getting closer to him. If he takes this badly I might want to leap out the window so I just lean against it making sure not to touch any of his precious plants.

As I am trying to figure out exactly what to say to him, he begins to speak.

“Hiei, I’m glad you came by. Kayko and Yusuke invited me to a little get together tonight. They asked me to tell you if I ran into you. I was actually just about to leave. Would you come with me?”

Let’s see. I could either stay here and tell him that I am a vampire and want to bit him, therefore making him one of them as well, and listen to him possible yell. Or go to this party, getting out of telling him until I can decided a better way to do it.

Huh. I don’t think I’ll hurt my brain thinking about this too much.

“I’ll go.”

That smile gets wider as he gets up and hugs me. He does this sometimes and I absolutely love it. He looks so frail, and is in a way, but I know that those arms could kill if need be. And as always he smells of roses. Nice sweet roses.

“I’m so glad you said yes. The others donet tet to see you that often. They are your friends Hiei, you should spend more time with them.”

“Hn.” Is all I say as we leave his house and start on the short trip over to Yusuke’s. His mother is most likely out getting drunk, therefore they will have the run of the house to talk about the things she knows nothing of.

I can’t help but think that Kurama is right about spending time with the others. But I have a hard time expressing myself to anyone. I still don’t talk that much with Kurama, let alone the others.

Before I know it we are at the house wit spt speaking to each other on the way. I feel bad about that. I know he likes it when I open up a little or just talk to him. I can see it in those emeralds but I am still trying to think of how, or when for that matter, to tell him.

As soon as he knocks Kayko is at the door with a large smile on her face.

“I was wondering if you two would make it. You’re the last to arrive.” She showed us in, leading us down the hall.

“Sorry about that. I was trying to wait and see if Hiei would come by before I left.”

“Well, I’m glad you did. Hello, Hiei.”

“Hn.” Is all I say as she rounds the corner to find everyone in the living room talking and eating. Kayko announces our arrival and everyone stops what they are doing to greet us. But soon go back to what they were doing.

Kurama goes over to Botan, on one side of the couch, who calls him over with her and Koenma. I take a seat near the entrance that we just came through and look around at everyone.

Botan talks away to Kurama. I swear if she didn’t have arms she wouldn’t be able to talk. They fly about at a dangerous pace. Koenma looks angry at whatever she is telling the red head. Probably some embarrassing story about him. Those two spend too much time together I believe.

On the couch next to them is Kayko. Kayko is a very nice ningen. She is a lot like Kurama in the way that she is friendly to almost everyone she meets. And you have got to love the fact that she isn’t afraid to hit Yusuke whenever he gets out of line. I don’t think another girl would do that.

She’s talking to the orange haired baka. He looks so stupid just sitting there. Okay, so he looks stupid doing anything. He’s got his arm around Yukina again. That alone makes it worth killing him, if he will never touch her again. But I have to admit that she looks happy to be with him, although I’m not sure why exactly.

I have thought many times about telling her I am her brother but have yet to do it. She is happy not knowing. I don’t know how someone as sweet and pure as her would take knowing that they have a brother that is a ruthless killer and vampire. I would rather her not know. But who knows, maybe after I tell Kurama about my blood sucking self, and hopefully the others, I can tell her. Maybe just the vampire part. I’m not sure of the brother part.

A couple of feet away from the couch Yusuke stands. He has that big goofy grin on his face as he laughs out loud. I only have to look down to who is seated on the overstuffed chair in front of him to know why.

There sits Jin, the wind master. I’m not that shocked to see him here. Every since the end of the dark tournament the two laughing idiots have been best friends. They both enjoy a good old battle against one another every once in a while to see how far in skill the other has come.

I have to say that I find Jin a nice enough guy if not a little weird. His talking drives me crazy though. That Irish accent is hard for me to understand so most of the time when he’s around I try to ignore him and hope he doesn’t speak to me.

I’m not at all surprised to see the ice master, Touya, sitting on the floor in between Jin’s legs. Every where Jin is you will also find his lover. They are almost inseparable. At first I thought it was sickening how they were never apart. But lately I’ve found myself hoping that me and Kurama could be like that one day. I would love to have him by my side at all times.

I get along better with Touya than I do Jin. Maybe it’s because I actually understand him or it could be the fact that he is honorable like me. I was surprised when he told Kurama to kill him like the deal was at the dark tournament. I find that noble. But of course Kurama would never do that. If it were me on the other hand Touya would probably not be here today.

I sit in the corner quietly with my thoughts for most of the party and watch as everyone talks to everyone else until Kurama comes over and sits next to me.

“You haven’t talked to anyone the whole time Hiei. Why?”

“Hn.” I honestly don’t know what to tell him.

“Okay, I won’t force you. But at least move from this spot. Are you hungry?”

As I was about to tell him no, my stomach seemed to think this was the perfecte toe to say I hadn’t eaten anything since this morning. Hearing the little growl, Kurama chuckled.

“Come with me. Will get something to eat.”

The rest of the party Kurama never left my side. We ate some of the sandwiches that I assume Kayko made, I don’t think Yusuke knows how to do anything in the kitchen, and watched the others interact.

We were even given a little show by Touya and Jin when they decided since everyone else was talking or eating and not paying they aty attention that they would have a little, or should I say big, makeout session.

I don’t know if my mind was playing tricks on me or not but I could have sworn that Kurama moved closer to me as we watched them have their tongue battle. I think it’s just me wishing. Who knows.

I have yet to decide how to tell him but I think I will wait a little. Maybe tomorrow.

I love Jin and Touya as a couple but there isn’t that many stories about them *winks at all the writers out there reading this*.

And remember, please Review!!!
