Happiness is.... Denial

Hiei twitched in annoyance, his movements dislodging sakura blossoms from their branch. They drifted in moonmoonlight, delicately falling to earth. Having lived simple and fufilling lives, their tiny forms gracefully danced in the wind, calmly accepting their immenent fate: destruction.

'How annoying.'
The sulking, yes sulking fire apparition sat in the tree outside of a certain red headed, teenage Kitsune's bedroom window. Reclining back against the trunk, arms crossed, Hiei continued to contemplate on just how he had come to be in his present predicament.
'Hn, they conspired against me. It's the only possible reason I was caught off guard so easily. But, naturally, it's my fault. I should have been on guard. After all, there is no such thing as fate (despite whatever humans think..), and all events occur in context of cause and effect. Perhaps I could not reveal my Jagan to Yukina, but I should have predicted Yusuke's actions...

Like a neverending sword fight, from which none can escape, life has its loopholes. Even when life deals an especially lethal attack, there is always a way to counter, or turn the blow against your opponent. Good and evil, justice and antipathy... Humans claim that good will be rewarded, the evil brought to justice...? But in a world where Forbidden Children live while innocents and the unlucky suffer on the blade of his hired sword... How can there be justice? That is life: survival of the strongest.... In which case, the only person trustworthy, that a person can safely fall in love with ... is no one. We are always alone.'

It was during Hiei's deep ponderings that the window of Shuichi Minamino aka Kurama's bedroom was raised and a head poked through the opening to blink curiously. "Hiei? What brings you by so late at night? Is there something wrong?" Kurama's sleep filled voice lent
proof to the late hour.
"Hn."
"Hiei?"
"Go back to sleep, Fox. I'm just thinking." Noticing Kurama's patient, and unwavering expression, the fire demon elaborated slightly. "Recent events have triggered a need for contemplation. This tree happens to be comfortable."
Kurama arched an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "And what recent events would that be, Hiei?"
"None of your business."
Kurama chuckled in amusement, "Very well, then. But you must know that I won't be able to go back to sleep now that I'm awake. Feel free to come inside once you're finished." And with that, Kurama drew his head back inside.
'Baka Kitsune, worrying all the time...' All the more reason to more carefully consider this mission. If he accepted it, would Kurama actually become happier? If he was with Keiko?
Huffing to himself, Hiei rose to his feet on the tree branch and approached the open window and peered inside. Kurama had walked over to his dresser and was now busily going through the drawers, withdrawing first a shirt, then a pair of dress pants and socks. Once he had his change of clothes, Kurama entered a door which connected his room to the bathroom, to set the clothes out for the next day. Sighing, Hiei climbed through the window and red red the room, then stood with arms crossed as he waited for the Kitsune to reemerge.
Kurama's room was like him, clean, well ordered, and polite. One had to search beneath the surface for hints of personality.... A small, exotic houseplant (that wasn't exactly domestic) in the edge of a window... A green rug, lavendar scented air freshner (that wasn't exactly artifical)... no posters, like many of his human teenage peers, but smaller signs of life.
Hiei didn't have to wait long before the bathroom door reopened and Kurama came back into the room. Crossing the room, Kurama pulled out a chair sitting in front of a desk and sat, gesturing for Hiei to take a seat on his bed if he so desired.
First step: determine whether Keiko and Kurama would actually be happy together. Is Kurama as unhappy as they say? But don't they really realize that he is a two hundred year old demon? happiness doesn't come to such creatures easily.
Phase one: gathering information on Subject Two.

"So, Hiei, was there something you wanted to talk about?"
Now was time to be subtle... cautious... "What have you been doing lately?" 'Che, not cautious, damn blunt habits of the tongue...'
Kurama arched a brow, "You mean, besides going to school every day and helping Yusuke and Kuwabara on missions for Spirit World?"
"..of course..."
'This would be easier, if I could just hold a katana to his throat and him him tell me, but that would just make Kurama even more worried and concerned... Not mentioning the fact that I might lose my life and fail this asinine mission.'
Kurama turned in his chair so that he faced away from Hiei, "Not much, really. Taking care of mother used to be my top priority, but now that she has remarried, I find myself with ample time on my hands when not getting pulled into one adventure or another."
"Oh?"
What an intelligent reply!
"Yes," Kurama replied. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
