Not Quite Friends

A Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic by Siew Lee

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Kurama's story]

It was a bright day. The aqua blue sky dotted with fluffy little clouds was 
so serene looking, almost as if it was laughing at me. My life was really 
a joke. What Inari-sama intended didn't quite turned out. I was sitting on a 
chair by the studydesk. The school algebra textbook was laid open on the 
table; but I was hardly paying any attention to it. I was busy daydreaming, 
of things that happened around me all along. Deep inside me, emotional 
turmoils were twisting and turning; boiling my sanity away. 

What made me feel that way? I led a wonderful life; too good to be true, for 
a majority of people. I had looks, girls crowded around me whenever I was to 
step out of my house. I had a report card full of flying colors, which was 
hunger stricken by many people; but I wasn't quite like what I seemed to 
be. 

I was a youko. A notorious, unscrupulous thief, cold blooded. I kill, with a 
slash of my merciless Rose Whip; I steal, with the greed overflowing me 
inside. I was a criminal in Makai, but destiny had changed its course. 

My human mother, Shiori, had loved me. As a youko, I didn't know what was 
love; until this weak human female taught me. I could still remember clearly 
how she tend for me when I was practically defenseless. I would do anything 
to protect her, if possible I would want her to live by my side, never 
leaving me alone. 

I never quite comprehended, what love was really like. 

Youkos were playful. 

I was lost in this world, never stopping to look back. My mind wasn't quite 
sane, as I didn't understand what I was supposed to do in this bleak 
creation of God. Deep down inside, I loved someone. 

How I get to love him? I wasn't sure myself, it just came of all sudden. He 
was Hiei, a fire youkai from Makai. He was my best friend cum companion. I 
sighed in desperation. I met him in an alliance plotting to steal three 
great treasures from Reikai, but I never quite perceived the cause I got 
together with him. I needed the mirror to save my mother. I had to save her. 
My conscience had been urging me to go back to my old habits. Yes, I could 
just simply acted on my own. 

A lock of red hair blew into my face. I reached out two fingers and began 
twirling it. My hair had grown even longer over these periods of time. 

Hiei. That name and youkai meant a lot to me. He didn't just offered me a 
simple friendship, but he also offered me hope while facing enemies. Hiei 
was a complicated person. He never showed his innermost feelings towards 
anybody, he kept most of his secret within himself, never letting down his 
guard. Transparency was exactly the opposite of this youkai. 

I just wished that he would sometimes show some emotions. Yes, he was rude, 
obstinate and bad tempered; but I found all these attractive. A wry smile 
lit up on my face. What did he thought of me? As a friend, or as a perfect 
lover? 

I slumped down back on the studydesk, hoping he would enlighten me one day. 
One day...

You got my bodyshakin'
Sends a shiver to my soul
