The Scar: Part Six

The three of them fell silent as soon as Hiei finished narrating. His story about Rei and their moment together was tragic. The three of them couldn't quite find the right words to say.

"That was… That was sad." Yusuke was the first one to speak. He glanced at the scar on Hiei's neck. He silently wondered how Hiei remained sane after everything he had gone through.

Hiei didn't say anything; he crossed his arms and closed his eyes again.

Kuwabara looked at Yusuke then at Kurama then he looked down again. Hiei wasn't really one of his most favorite people. But he was fine, he may have irritated him a lot of times but still he's a friend. And he felt what anyone would feel for Hiei. He silently thought of the pain the whole experience with Rei had caused on Hiei.

"I'm sorry." Kurama said quietly. He never imagined Hiei's story about his past girl was that heartbreaking. He was really sorry for what had happen.

"It was in the past." Hiei said quietly, a small frown painted on his forehead.

Silence.

Yusuke took a deep breath, "Well, we should do this again." He was referring to their experience-sharing.

"Yeah. I definitely agree." Kuwabara second the motion, nodding to emphasize his agreement.

Kurama just looked at the both of them, a small smile on his lips. It was definitely an evening to remember. He looked at the clock on Yusuke's wall; it was already 2:30 in the morning.

"Yusuke, do you mind if I stay here for the night?" Kuwabara asked.

Yusuke nodded and laid on the sofa, trying to find a comfortable position.

Kuwabara yawned and closed his eyes, leaning back to his seat.

Kurama looked at the three of them sleeping. He silently wondered if he would still go home. After hearing the soft snoring of Kuwabara, he decided to stay. He felt drunk and he knew he couldn't go home like that and have his mother see him.

It was a good night after all. They have learned a little more about each other. Kurama's Elena, Kuwabara's Ana, Yusuke's Keiko and Hiei's Rei; the four of them were all interesting stories to tell and they were undeniably a part of who they are right now.

The End
