Another fanfic! Hope you like it. I think I might have a little romance between Yukina and Kurama, but I'm not sure. But there is only a little humor in this story. It's all angst. I was in the mood to write it at the time. (shrugs) It might only be about five chapters.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Chapter One: The Truth
Yukina stood outside the door of Kurama's bedroom. She didn't mean to eavesdrop, it was just that she heard Hiei talking and he sounded upset.
Everyone had been invited to Kurama's house for a party. When they asked why, he said he just felt like it. 'Typical Kurama.' Yukina couldn't act like she wasn't enjoying herself, otherwise she would hurt Kurama's feelings.
"You have to tell her!" Yusuke yelled. He sounded quite frustrated.
"Yes, I agree," Kurama said, as usual, calm about the situation.
She heard a growl at their statements. She guessed that was Hiei. "She must never know," he said icily.
"But she's becoming very upset over finding her brother. She thinks we still haven't found him! Every time she asks, we have to lie," the spirit detective said somewhat guiltily.
Yukina gasped, her red eyes filling with tears. 'They know?' She leaned against the door, suddenly having her knees too weak to support her.
"You have to tell her, Hiei," Kurama stated.
"She'll be happy to know you're her brother," Yusuke put in more softly.
"Never," Hiei growled.
Yukina put her hands to her mouth, shaking her head. 'Hiei's my brother? He never told me!' She stood up straight again, somewhat shakily, and headed towards the door. She didn't want to stay any longer.
Kuwabara noticed this and ran towards her. "Yukina, my love, where are you going?" he asked, louder than was necessary. Yukina just smiled at him and waved, her teal hair covering the tears that were about to fall to the ground. She opened the door and waved to Keiko, Shizuru, Kuwabara, and Botan. After all, she didn't want them to worry.
(Meanwhile)
"Listen, Yusuke, he'll tell her eventually. We can't keep pressing the subject," Kurama said, sounding as if he didn't want the conversation to end. Yusuke just crossed his arms in reply.
"Why won't you just tell her?" Yusuke asked, ignoring Kurama.
"I don't want to! Now, either get that through your thick skull and shut up, or I'll have to make you." He rested his hand on his katana, glaring at Yusuke. Hiei walked to the window, slid it open, and jumped out into the night, getting tired of their bugging.
'Why do they care so much?' the fire demon asked himself. He jumped from tree branch to tree branch, heading towards his usual sleeping place in the park. Once he reached his destination, he rested his back against the trunk, high up, and crossed his arms behind his head. He closed his eyes.
"Where'd Yukina go?" Yusuke asked, noticing the demon was gone.
Everyone shrugged, except Kuwabara. "I'll go find her! Nothing can hide from the great Kazuma Kuwabara!" With that, he began to run outside until Yusuke caught the back of his shirt.
"I'm sure she doesn't want an oaf like you running after her." He hit him on the back of the head, which knocked the boy out.
"I just hope we didn't upset Hiei too much. He doesn't seem to take that topic too lightly," Kurama said to Yusuke.
"What topic?" Keiko was now standing in front of the two, having been the only one who heard them- Shizuru currently talking to Botan and Kuwabara out cold on the floor.
Yusuke put his hand behind his head, planting a stupid grin on his face. "N-nothing."
"Don't tell me nothing, Yusuke! I know something's up."
Kurama and Yusuke sweatdropped. The redhead quickly tried to reply. "We were just talking to Hiei about Yukina."
Keiko raised her eyebrow, obviously not satisfied.
"We told him he should tell her who he is," Yusuke said.
Keiko rolled her eyes. "You shouldn't have done that." Kurama and Yusuke just looked at eachother.
"Hahahaha!" Kuwabara started laughing and pointing at Shizuru. Shizuru and Botan were just sitting there with an expression of pure confusion. "She-she-she said--" he was cut off when another round of laughter hit him. "She said that Yukina said Kurama was cute!" He continued laughing while Yusuke joined in. Kurama just stood there, a hint of surprise in his emerald eyes. Botan and Shizuru looked at Kuwabara and Yusuke now rolling on the floor from laughing so hard, and Keiko looked like she was about to strangle the latter of the two.
"When exactly did he wake up?" Kurama asked Keiko. She shrugged.
Yukina ran through the park, tears clattering to the ground. She didn't care who found them right now. She just wanted to be alone. She sat on a bench in front of some flowers. Their cheery aura didn't help her at the moment. 'Is Hiei ashamed of me for some reason? Should I talk to him about it?'
'No. He'll think you were spying on them.' Another voice in the back of her head said.
'But I have to know.'
'He wouldn't like you though if he knew.'
'Maybe he's ashamed of himself.'
'That's not the reason. He's ashamed of you.' Yukina sadly shook her head, deciding that she wouldn't tell him she knew. It would cause too many problems. She looked up at the sky, admiring the beauty of the stars. She wished she could escape from this place.
Crimson eyes stared through the window of Kurama's bedroom. The fox turned around and smiled. 'Hiei has decided to visit.' He went and slid open the window. "Come in." The black form jumped through and stood there with his arms crossed. "You shouldn't have left so early. Kuwabara put on quite the act." He chuckled at that memory.
'You know you want her,' Youko interrupted.
'Not right now.'
'Oh, but can't I have some fun?' he mocked. Kurama pushed Youko back into his mind. "What can I do for you?" he asked Hiei.
Hiei remained quiet.
"You had to have come her for some reason."
"Don't ever mention me being Yukina's brother again. I won't tell her."
"I know you will eventually."
"Dammit fox!" Hiei said, surprising the kitsune. "I can't tell her, so just shut up." He looked away.
Kurama continued to look at him, thinking of what to say. He didn't have a chance, because the next time he looked up, Hiei was gone.
'Why does he always disappear like that?'
Author's note: I know it's short. I'm sorry. I just can't think of anything at the moment. I promise I'll make the next chapter better. Please review!
