It is what it is

rosethief:

So many things ran around in his mind. Kurama felt himself feeling things he was never used to. Human emotions were an odd thing for him indeed. He sat down on his bed and closed his eyes for a second. The dark tournament was more than enough evidence of the change happening to him. Perhaps it wasn’t so bad that the majority of his Yoko like personality was all but gone. He placed a hand in his lap, the other cupping his forehead as he sighed. “how on earth am I going to tell him?” he mumbled to himself. There were some things easier left un said in the presence of his friends. This may have been one of them. 

Years ago the thought of such a thing would have made him laugh. Yoko didn’t worry about such things. Emotions, the thoughts of how his actions would hurt others? it didn’t mater. He did what he liked with little consequence. This time was different. “How unfortunate that such a thing would reduce me to such a migraine…” he shook his head. After the dark tournament he thought it would be easy for a little period in time… with the company he keeps thats starting to seem impossible. 

Hiei awoke with a start at the sound of honking horns. Blasted humans didn’t know how irritating it was waking up to their various noises. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, his vision slowly coming into focus. He was in the middle of a park, on a tree that provided enough cover to shield him from view. It was dark, and Hiei was fed up with the human world and every creature living in it.

The first thing he felt was a nagging emptiness in his stomach. Although Hiei could go long stretches without having to eat, it had been weeks since his last good meal, and he finally was on empty. He usually would just hunt for food on his own, and was quite ready to do so, but after looking around a bit more he realized he was only a few minutes sprint from Kurama’s house. He didn’t need to see him for any real reason, but some things had been bothering Hiei since their trip back from the Dark Tournament. He didn’t understand why humans were so emotionally driven, but he could sense that something had been bothering the redhead for a while now, and he wanted to know what. He wasn’t interested in human food, but it was better than nothing. He jumped from the tree and headed in the direction of Kurama’s house.

A few minutes later he found himself at the door, debating whether to knock on it, or head up to the window. In the end he decided to let out a bit of his energy, just enough so that Kurama would be able to sense it, and then let the fox decide what was best.

Hiei watched as Yusuke casually strolled off. The fire demon’s mind was stuck in a fight between his extreme boredom, and his enlarged ego. The former was telling him that nothing could possibly be worse than going back to demon world, while the other was reminding him that he was above this idiotic human culture, and it would be better to remain bored than stoop to that level.

At that moment he thought back on what Yusuke said about living life carefree. Maybe… it wasn’t all as bad as he made it out to be, these human things. Maybe if he dropped his ego for a bit he could try to enjoy something other than fighting. The only person that would know is Yusuke, and Hiei had a feeling he wasn’t inclined to out him on something like this. His mind was made up.

He caught up with Yusuke, and slowed his pace to walk alongside him. “Alright, I’ll oblige you this once. If you can prove that I’m wrong about these humans then maybe I’ll concede.” Hiei looked up at Yusuke and pulled a smug smirk. He was certain that if anyone was up to the challenge of changing his mind, it was probably Yusuke.

“Okay, I promise you a good time. As long as you promise to keep an open mind?” He questioned raising a brow at Hiei. Yusuke was used to Hiei saying one thing but actually when he came down to it he was opposed to most things. So he wanted to make sure the fire demon could look him in the eye and make him a solid promise.

In all honesty, Yusuke really had no idea as to what he was going to show Hiei first. It wasn’t until now that he realized just how boring he found the human world. But he was pretty sure, that with change, comes enjoyment. So for Hiei, it should work. He wasn’t putting any money on it though. 

“So, uh, you hungry? I know this great place and I’m pretty sure you could use a decent meal..” He chuckled holding his hands up defensively as he predicted Hiei’s reaction to the dig at his lifestyle, “Hey, I’m just saying. We have some pretty decent food here in the human world, it’s gotta be a step up from eating whatever it is you eat.” 

It really didn’t matter if Hiei was hungry or not, Yusuke had already made a decision, for once in his life, as they rounded the corner to the street that held the Yukimura restaurant. 

Hiei responded with a muffled yes, and continued to follow Yusuke. There really wasn’t any need to ask; he was always hungry, and couldn’t turn down a free meal, even if it was that human rabbit food. Turning the corner, he saw their destination. Although he had never been inside, Hiei knew well that this was where Keiko’s family lived, and now where Yusuke worked. 

“So, this was your plan? To get me to come eat with you here?” Hiei smirked slightly, and turned to Yusuke. “But, if we eat here, won’t that mean you’ll be cooking for me? I’m not sure if I trust you handling my meal.” He chuckled to himself, finding the idea of Yusuke cooking for him extremely amusing. Hiei pushed the curtain to the right and walked inside.

Eventually he began to calm his laughter after having a kick of amusement out of his friends embarrassment. He took a deep breath as Hiei stood up and managed to tame the laughter into just a smirk, that looked like he would burst out with laughter again at any moment. He held up his hands in his defense, 

“Chill out, man. I was just playing around. It’s called having a laugh. Which apparently you don’t know how to do.” 

Yusuke’s eyes lingered on Hiei as his eyes hazed over in thought. Then it came to him. All the things he could try and introduce Hiei to. Video games, some form of martial art showing, maybe even some decent food. He was sure Hiei would appreciate some of the human food. A not feasting on whatever it was that fire demon fed on.. Yusuke didn’t even want to know. He planted his hands in his pockets and began to wander off, 

“Coming?” He questioned looking back over his shoulder at Hiei, “Look, I know you’re not a fan of the human world but I’m pretty sure there are some things you might actually find some amusement in if you give them a try.” Yusuke carried on walking really giving the other demon much chance to dismiss his plan.

Hiei watched as Yusuke casually strolled off. The fire demon’s mind was stuck in a fight between his extreme boredom, and his enlarged ego. The former was telling him that nothing could possibly be worse than going back to demon world, while the other was reminding him that he was above this idiotic human culture, and it would be better to remain bored than stoop to that level.

He was certain that if anyone was up to the challenge of changing his mind, it was probably Yusuke.

demon-fox-kurama asked: Ah Hiei, how are you doing?

*smirks* I’ve been keeping busy, doing pretty much whatever I please. And yourself? I see you’ve kept from dying of boredom despite being stuck in the human world.

Hiei was walking back to the room. It was late, but he was too bothered by recent developments to care about sleep. He never really slept anyway, only now he couldn’t even relax without thoughts of that… monster coming to mind. He was fed up with Karasu stalking, sweet talking, and literally feeling up Kurama. He was even more fed up with how Kurama seemed to do little to nothing to stop it. 

Hiei didn’t usually take too much concern about the afairs of others, but Kurama was a special case. As he walked up the stairs and turned the corner towards their room, he saw the pervert in question. Just… standing there. Watching. 

“What on earth do you think you’re doing!?” Hiei half-yelled as he rapidly approached the uninvited guest.

I shifted my attention from my darling’s sleeping energy, now awakened, to the interloper, raising my eyebrows to him. I shifted to moderate my footing and circled my fingers against the fabric in my pockets, preparing bombs in the case of an attack.

“What concern is it of yours, little half-breed?” I sneered, disdainful.

I did not like the time this little wretch spent with my beloved. He wasn’t worthy of the attentions lavished on him.

I was.

I narrowed eyes at him in obvious dislike.

Despite more than slight urges to put as much space as possible between himself and the bomber, Hiei stood his ground. He looked up and put on as threatening a face as he could. 

“It’s a concern of mine because you’re staring into my room and gawking at one of my teammates. Do you not see how disgusting your obsession with him is?” Hiei walked over to Karasu’s side, putting himself between the room and Karasu. 

“You need to leave”

“I WAS NOT HELPLESS” Hiei spat, seething as he recalled that he was in fact helpless at that time. Not that he would admit it.

“It wasn’t even a battle, it was just a stupid child playing foolish games. And I don’t need to relax. If I don’t stay ‘grumpy and tense’, then I might let my guard down and let someone get the best of me… like they do of you all the time.” Hiei crossed his arms over his chest, and gave as condescending a look as he could possibly make, but made no move to leave. 

“Yeah, yeah” He sighed waving a dismissive hand at Hiei, “Whatever you say.”

“Oh it wasn’t, huh? So why did the poor squirt have to die? I mean, either I’m stupid or something, or people usually get hurt or die at the end of a battle? Either way, video games still useful.” Yusuke laughed at Hiei’s dig at his fighting technique, “That’s because I don’t have a guard to put up. You and I both know I rush into a fight without a strategy” He let off a shrug at the condescending look his friend was giving him, “What’s the use in having your guard up all the time anyway? I mean sure, I get my ass beat to the ground now and then but you and Kurama have been in just the same position, even after thinking everything through first. Seems kinda boring to me. Might as well have fun, go with the flow and get your ass kicked about some, than plan every single move AND still get your ass kicked. Am I right?”

Hiei frowned at how easily Yusuke shrugged off his remarks. “So you’re saying we should throw caution to the wind and just live life completely carefree?” He was slightly taken back at how easily Yusuke could say this. Hiei had never had the opportunity to live like that. It just wasn’t something he knew how to do. Deep down, he almost wanted to learn. 

“I don’t know how to let my guard down. It’s not something I’ve ever been able to do, because if I did I would be dead. But… if you’re all that bored, maybe I could humor you and try… if it would get you to be quiet.” Despite himself, Hiei had to admit that he was a bit bored too.  

Admittedly, Hiei’s words sprung a curiosity in Yusuke. It made him wonder that maybe if he wasn’t such a wreckless kid, always purposely getting himself into trouble, if he had actually taken some caution in his life that maybe he wouldn’t have been through all the hell that had came into his life. But as soon as it came to mind, it left even quicker. Sure, he had some tough times, died a couple of times but at the end of it all, he came out stronger, with friends and times full of adventure. A life much more exciting than any normal teenagers. And for that he was thankful. 

“Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m saying” his voice a sincere tone as he looked off into the distance reminiscing over the adventures they’d all been through, “Look, I don’t know about you but if I had had a care in the world, then I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t have met you guys and I sure as hell wouldn’t have had the kind of journeys that I’ve had with you guys. So if having caution, means missing out on all the whacky shit that’s happened in my life, then yeah, it can roll off with the wind for all I care.”

Yusuke’s eye line fell straight ahead of him, a smirk now playing on his face as he saw Hiei’s last words as a challenge, “Oh, really?” As the last word rolled off Yusuke’s tongue his fist slammed into the side of Hiei’s face, sending the fire demon flying and leaving Yusuke riving with laughter as it was made clear that Hiei let’s his guard down around him. 

Before he could comment on how annoyingly carefree Yusuke was, Hiei felt a fist connecting with his left cheek. Enough force was behind the punch to knock him off his feet and into the air.

Of course he WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING if it weren’t for how focused he was on thinking up a comeback. Damn. Hiei hit the ground hard. He continued to lay there for a moment and contemplate the best thing to say in this situation. 

“Fine, you’ve proved your point, I guess, whatever it was.” As he looked to Yusuke’s smirking face he only became more angry, and more embarrassed. 

“Oh, so I guess you think using a cheap move like that and causing me pain is funny?” Hiei sat up and propped himself on his arms. “I was only doing what you said and trying to let my guard down for once, so a move like that wouldn’t have worked in any other situation. You got lucky.” He stood up, wincing slightly at the sting in his back, and nonchalantly walked back towards Yusuke.
