ch. 4

Sakura and Hinageshi went into a room and talked for a while. Then Hinageshi came out and pulled Yusuke outside. “Yusuke, I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, I didn’t tell her everything. If I did, I’m sure she would’ve killed you.”

At that, she smiled and touched his arm softly. Sakura came out and Hinageshi pulled her along. She waved Yusuke goodbye and smiled once more. Yusuke looked after them as they walked away; then, very slowly, he stepped back into his house. He knew that it had been a weird night and that he had to talk to Hiei. Yusuke quickly went outside to find Hiei, but he did not know where he was.

Hiei was lurking in an alleyway once again and went to get Sakura. Hinageshi walked into their home first and Sakura told her that she was going to sit outside. Hiei came up to her and touched her arm. “Come with me Sakura. Please.”

Sakura smiled at that and walked with him. Yusuke was sitting on the sidewalk and saw them walking together again. He started walking towards them. Hiei stopped Sakura in an alleyway and looked deeply into her eyes. She looked at him and then turned away as if she were scared. “Your eyes, they seem full with fear, why?” Hiei asked.

“They are full with fear because well you hurt my cousin last night. I only came along because I forgot about that story. Right when you stopped me and looked into my eyes, I was afraid. I thought you brought me here to kill me. I don’t want that to happen!” Sakura said.

Hiei touched her arm and mumbled “I’m sorry.” Then he reached out his arms and hugged her. Sakura was a bit shocked but she found a soft spot in her heart. She wasn’t seeking revenge on Hiei, she wanted to cherish him forever; she loved him. They were hugging for a long time and Yusuke was watching as Sakura hugged Hiei back. He did not know what to do; Yusuke was shocked that Hiei would be this affectionate. Then Hiei broke the lock and jumped to Yusuke putting his katana to Yusuke’s neck, “You will not speak of this to anyone, Yusuke!” he yelled.

Yusuke smiled at Hiei and started walking off. “Don’t worry Hiei, I won’t say a word. I promise. Though, the thought of you and Sakura getting together is rather entertaining.”

Sakura blushed so hard and told Hiei that she had to go. Hiei smiled at his new girlfriend. He felt his heart explode and come back together, as a warm one, just for her. Something brought him back into normal life though. “Hiei, what are you doing here?” It was Kurama.

Hiei walked towards him and Kurama smiled. “Hiei, you cannot hide anything from me. I know you have found someone you love. Who is it?”

Hiei shook his head and gestured to a tree, it was a tree with cherry blossoms. “Hiei, you love…Sakura?”

Hiei looked up into Kurama’s eyes and nodded. Kurama smiled at Hiei and took him to his house. “Come Hiei, we have much to discuss. I have to teach you some things if you are truly committing to this.”

Yusuke sat on the sidewalk thinking of things. He had seen Sakura and Hiei hugging. That couldn’t have happened, he thought. He thought to himself about that hug and then Kuwabara tapped him back to life. “Hey, Urameshi. How’s Hinageshi? I saw those cuts on her. What happened to her?” Yusuke looked up at Kuwabara. He took him inside his home and told him everything.

Over at Kurama’s house, Kurama was sleeping and Hiei was sitting on the balcony thinking about what they had discussed. He sat there looking out into the sky and thinking of Sakura. Thoughts had came through his mind and he was thinking about other things. While he was daydreaming, Sakura came and said Hiei rather quietly. Hiei looked down, lost his balance, and then fell.

Sakura rushed over to him. “Hiei, are you okay? I didn’t mean to make you fall. I just wanted to surprise you, that’s all.”

Hiei looked up into those eyes he had just loved and tapped her shoulder. He didn’t want to smile. He had smiled to much that day. “Sakura, you should go off home. Your cousin will be worried about where you have gone.”

She smiled at him and told him, “I already told Hinageshi where I have gone. Don’t worry; I didn’t mention anything about talking to you. I said I would meet up with Kurama, but that’s not the case. I want to speak with you.”
