At His Level

This wasn't happening, it couldn't be happening because Kurama was the human. Kurama was supposed to leave first. Not Hiei, never had Kurama ever thought it would be Hiei.

Running faster to reach Hiei, Kurama drew his panic filled eyes over Hiei's form. It was pathetic really because all Kurama could think about was how he wanted to turn back the clock. Change the way things were now, before they had even reached the end. Kurama of all people should have known how desperate, how useless this hopeful wishing was. Yet still, he allowed himself to slip into a fantasy where he could bring himself back to five hours prior, just to change all this. To make it different.

He would stop Hiei from joining him. In fact he wouldn't have gone at all. Then he would tell Hiei the thoughts that had burned the back of his mind for so long now. He would make sure that any time he and Hiei had left together would be well spent. It wouldn't be unproductive, they would further their understanding of each other. Jump that gap of a bridge called friendship and land on the other side called love. That's what Kurama wished for.

He could almost see it happening too, behind his eyelids every split second fantasy he'd ever had of himself and Hiei flashed. All together they appeared but somehow all completely separate. As Kurama dove deeper into his newly found false reality a harsh wave of sensibility splashed over him as he heard Hiei chuckle. It was a bubbly sound and you could hear the fluids trapped in his throat.

"Now isn't the time for a sentimental breakdown Kurama."

Startled Kurama peered down at Hiei. Laying on the ground as he was he looked awful small, almost weak. Kurama didn't like that. Hiei was not weak, he never would be, even in ... even in a situation like this. "What sort of time is it then? And be thankful that I'm not truly having a sentimental breakdown Hiei, it would prove to be more of a bother one would think."

"Hn. Crying is a bother."

An unexpected look of shock covered Kurama's face. Crying? Was he? Reaching up a slow hand Kurama touched his face. Dry as a baby's bottom. Why would Hiei say he was crying when he obviously wasn- Pulling his hands down the fox could see a strange substance covering them. It was yellow, sparkling, and itched the tips of fingers. It was pollen. Seemed the flowers were mourning with him, mourning for someone who was about to leave.

"Hiei." That was all Kurama said as he moved into a kneeling position next to Hiei. It was just a name. Four little letters. Though the man's meaning was not clear, the want of an understanding stood out loud. Without waiting for a response Kurama grabbed onto what remained of Hiei's garments. "No. I've said no now, so you can't go. You aren't allowed to die."

That's how it always worked right? A lover near wasting away would be called back by the power of his sweetheart's love? That's how it was supposed to work.

"Stupid fox. I said I'd get you on your knees. It's about time you were brought down to my level."

Silence followed. Not another word was spoken as Hiei moved onto the other world. The red haired fox stood up slowly, dusting off his knees, wiped away his tears and lay down next to Hiei. Right at his level.

Ending Notes
Originally I wanted this to be a lot longer, but I kept putting off finishing this little plot bunny. Saying that I had plenty of time, and now here it is 11:45 and I haven't even started on what I wanted to be the "starting half" of this fic. So I guess I'll just leave it as is. Perhaps on a later date I'll make this longer. Too bad it can't be posted in the community then. Ah well. :) I still think it's not too bad. Hope I didn't kill anyone with my god awful writing style. >(^.~)<

Oh and sorry about the random pollen bit in there, XD, I just felt like it.
