Hiruiseki: Soul of Glass

Ano…sumimasen?  Watashi wa Hiruiseki degozaimasu.  Dozo yoroshiku onegai
tashimasu.  I'd bow, but I'm currently suspended from a cord around Hiei-kun's
neck, sumimasen.

I don't have anything to complain about, not really; I'm kept nice and warm
against Hiei-kun's chest, and I'm not abused.  I've got a pleasant life,
compared to those of my colleagues Rose Whip and Kokuryuu.  I get jostled
occasionally when Hiei-kun gets into one of his numerous fights, true, but he
takes good care of me, making sure that my cord is in good condition.  In
return I try to glow as brightly as I can, especially on those occasions that
Hiei-kun takes me out to look at me.

I used to belong to Yukina-san, but when she was saying goodbye to Hiei-kun,
she presented me to him.  I went willingly; I like my new master - he helped
save Yukina-san, so that's a point in his favor.  He's also her twin brother,
just in case you didn't know - another plus.

I know he loves her, but I don't understand why he doesn't tell her!  I can't
say anything, so all I can do is watch as they dance around each other.  I'm
sure Yukina-san knows who Hiei-kun is - she's a smart girl, if a little
innocent.  She only wants Hiei-kun to be happy, and by giving me to him, I
have a suspicion that she was telling him, in her own subtle way, that she
knew.

Recently, Hiei-kun's been spending a lot of time with Kurama-kun.  From what
Yukina-san has said, Kurama-kun is really the infamous Youko Kurama, and Hiei-
kun's best friend - but personally, I think they're more than that.  I know
Hiei-kun likes Kurama-kun a lot, though he doesn't say or show it around the
others.  When it's only him and Kurama-kun though, he's much more relaxed and
open.  I hope things work out between Hiei-kun and Kurama-kun; Hiei-kun
deserves happiness.
