A/N: Serious drabble. As in, less than 200-word drabble. Plotless but... meaningful. Anyways, this inspiration came from reading too many Naruto fanfiction (and, incase you're wondering, I especially support NejiSakura, GaaSaku and SasuSaku). I felt the need to write. Don't blame me if it sucks though, yeah?

Roses
Kurama once said that each rose had a special meaning – the fox had been busy at that time, searching for roses to present to his fiancee, when Hiei had first voiced his curiousity.
Red roses, the fox had said, defined love and desire; usually a gift shared among passionate lovers. Pink, on the other hand, represented gratitude and respect. Yellow was for happiness and friendship. Purple was the the representative of the term, "Love at first sight".
Two roses; their stems entwined with one another; would mean that a couple was serious about their relationship – that they had made a promise and commitment to keeping their love forever untarnished. Three roses stemmed together would define a passionate love everlasting. Twelve roses (or, generally considered a bouquet) meant undevided love and attention towards the, "lucky person".
When the fox had then voiced his distress over picking the perfect rose for describing his relationship with Shizuru, Hiei had again asked in wonderment, 'Why not you buy the whole thing?'
After all, that was exactly what he had done for Botan.
A/N: As I said, short. Even my Author's Notes are longer than this baby! Heh. So, anyways, in case you're wondering: yeah, they are real. Every one of them are facts. I got them out of an old school article (a valentines day piece). I myself don't exactly see the point in buying all these different types of roses – they all seem like the same thing to me. Unfortunately, Kurama-kun doesn't seem to agree with that. :P
