As I thought, there was some confusion in the previous
chapter. To dumb it down a bit, Hiei was having a dream where Kurama died.
After a while though, he managed to break the dream and woke up to find that
everything that had happened recently was only a dream. So the whole fic so far was only a vision he was stuck in for the entire
night. In this chapter, though, he’s back in the real world. *sweatdrop* I hope that made sense….There’ll be another
chapter after this that’ll explain everything that went on.

For some strange reason, I felt
like taking a walk. But this one wouldn’t be secluded in the deep forests of
the Ningenkai; rather, it would be within the busy and crowded streets
downtown. I studied the signs and people around, making note of their behavior.
A few couples were out today, walking side by side holding hands, or cuddled
next to each other on a bench, sharing some sweet snow or exchanging a kiss.
Kurama constantly used these moves on me, but practically never in public. At
first I thought he didn’t want to be seen with the Forbidden Child at his side,
for it would be an embarrassment, a sin. But he told me that our relationship
should be kept secret; it would be more exciting and adventurous. I still don’t
get why, but if my fox was saying it, then it must be true. Did it take that
long for me to realize it?
My feet pulled me into a flower
shop. I observed the hand-grown flowers, each reflecting magnificent beauty. My
hands pulled out a red rose, with the same colors that matched my Youko. The
roses that Kurama handed to me never had thorns. It seemed like he was afraid
in hurting me, and took the thorns off every time. But this rose had many
thorns, ones that should have pricked into my skin and leaked blood from my
palm. The flower didn’t though. I squeezed the green stem, trying to feel the
thorns, but I felt no pain or prick. I poked the sharp edges, but still no red
liquid. It wouldn’t hurt me.
“Ya know, it’s pretty rare to see somethin’
like that happen.”
I turned around and faced a woman,
the owner of the shop, no doubt. She smiled and pushed back a lock of red and
blonde hair behind her ear. My eyes turned back to the flower in my hand. “Why
won’t it hurt me?” I whispered to her.
Sh'>She bent down a little to level
with my height. “You must be in real love if it won’t prick you. They say that
if a rose won’t push its thorns in your skin, then the emotions burning within
that person are true. You’ve got yourself a lucky lady, then!”
I grasped the rose in my hand
another time, never feeling the pointy thorns sink into my skin. Burning
emotions are true….so my voice wasn’t cheating me. Kurama did love me, as I
love him. The whispers in my ears were real and weren’t trying to trick my
mind, my heart, my soul. They were all real….when did I become deaf? I’m just
starting to hear the truths….they’re speaking clearly now. I can hear. I can
hear my sister. My mother. My
friends. My Kurama. My dear Kurama….I can hear
you….
“Keep the rose,” the shopkeeper
said to me. “Go make someone happy.”
I blinked, and nodded. “Arigato.” And I left.

I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I’m close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I pushed Kurama’s window open and
settled myself on the sill. My presence was immediately noticed and my kitsune
ran up and hugged me. I shakily returned the gesture, still slightly nervous
being around him. The ningen smiled at me and placed a small kiss over the
Jagan.
“Hello, love. Where have you been?”
“Around,” I replied, threading my
fingers through his silky hair. So soft…. “I got you
something.”
My fox blinked, obviously
surprised. I reached in my scarf and pulled out the rose, placing it in
Kurama’s hands. He gazed in wonder at the flower, studying the bright colors
and smooth petals. He smiled – the smile I loved – and kissed my lips.
“So I wasn’t wrong….” He murmured
between our lips.
I pushed him back slightly and
stared into his emerald eyes. “Wrong? Of what?”
He showed another grin and held the
rose in front of my face. “You grasped the rose by the stem, where the thorns
are, and yet I see no scars on your hands. If a red rose can’t hurt you, then-“
“-your love is true. I know.” I
touched the points again, and still no blood came from my fingertips. “Why do
your roses never have thorns once they are in my hands?”
My Youko turned his eyes downward,
almost looking ashamed. “I felt kind of scared….that if you bled, then you
didn’t really love me….that it was only lust….”
Stupid.
I’m so stupid. My love, my only true love, my love that I couldn’t hear, my
love that loved me, but I didn’t know. He loved me, he always had, and yet I
turned away when he said so. I can’t believe how stupid I am….my fox, my dear fox….

That night I showed him that his
feelings weren’t alone. We made love, true love, for the first time that night.
It was nothing like our other nights together in bed. We both felt it, the
burning emotions deep within as we touched and kissed, panted and moaned. He
threaded his nimble fingers through my hair and I bit his neck, marking the
pale skin as mine for the first time since we fell in love together. I never
knew that the Forbidden could feel so good, could feel so safe and protected in
another’s arms. So I cried. I cried in front of my beautiful fox for the first
time, only my water tears turned into black gems. They had never crystallized
before, and now they were. Our bodies didn’t stop until early morning, until we
could move no more. I collected the hiruseki and
dropped them into Kurama’s palms, some overflowing and falling onto the crumpled
sheets. Then we held each other, arms and legs entwined, bodies fitting
perfectly and breaths even. My fox kissed me with a deep passion and hugged me
close, a gentle smile across his lips. He opened his green eyes one last time
and uttered a few words before falling into a peaceful sleep by my side.
“Ai shiteru, my love.”
Only this time, I heard him.
Be
my ears….
And
let me hear you speak….
