Deadly secrets

"Shuuichi! Your mother!" His emerald eyes widen with fear. The doctor's look of fear sent chills through Kurama's spine.

"Mother!"

"Your mother was wheeled into the emergency room; we need to operate."

His fist clenched almost drawing blood, eyes closed tightly. 'Don't worry, I'll stay with you, mother.'

"Shuuichi." The doctor gazed into his eyes. "I want you to go home. You've been here for over a day straight, you need a good meal and some rest."

"But…"

"No buts. Soon you will be in that room and I know your mother wouldn't like that. You must keep your health up."

With his head hanging low he slump home. Hiei waited for the red head's return; sitting on his windowsill like normal.

"Fox?"

"I'm taking a shower." He said without much emotion. He grabbed some clean clothes and made his way to the bathroom.

He leaned on a wall and hot water pelted his skin. He reached for one of the receptacles on the self; all different kinds of bottles rested on it. From different smelling soaps to conditioner to his own concoction he made using the plants of demon world.

He grabbed a small bottle and pour the shampoo on his fire red hair. He lathered and rinse making sure he was clean completely.

"Mother…" He whispered his voice full of anguish. He turned the water off but didn't move yet. Water drops dripped on his muscular body. He wrapped a towel around his waist and one around his head.

He walked back to his room and advanced to his desk. On the desk was various pictures of his mother and himself. A picture of his mother holding him when he was an infant, a picture of a five year old glaring at the camera, and one of him up a tree with his mother trying to get him down safely

"Fox?" Tears burned at the back of his eyes and rolled down his cheeks.

"What if…what if…" Hiei gazed sadly at Kurama. He absolute hated when someone cried, he especially hated it if his fox was crying. That's right Kurama was his, though he would never admit to it. The short fire demon would do anything for his fox demon: protect him in battle, kill another or steal.

"Don't talk in 'What if's."

He placed a soothing hand on Kurama's shoulder. "She will make it though, for a human she is strong." He was trying to help, making the other man smile. When he was upset Kurama always managed to make him smile. Still he knew it was futile.

Hiei loved it when his comrade would smile. His dazzling smile lit up the darkest of caves. The red head turned to pounced on the smaller demon and cried on his chest. Hiei clueless and uncomfortably tense from the surprise touch he still managed to hold the taller man. He cradle the shaking demon in his strong but loving arms.

The phone rang making both demon hearts skipped a beat. Kurama jumped out of his arms, much to Hiei's dismay to ran to the phone.

"Hello?" He answer completely scared of who ever was on the line.

"Shuuichi… I'm sorry…" The phone hit the floor his heart almost stopping completely. Hiei knew who was on the phone and what they just said.

"Kurama?" The fox's skin was pale, his eyes glossy with tears. Week in the knees the man tipped over. Instead hitting the cold hard floor he fell into Hiei's embrace.

"Why…?" He repeated over and over again. Screaming 'mother' over and over.

"It was her time." The fire demon tried to sympathizes. He to lost his mother but he didn't care as much, he was the forbidden child. Not loved by anyone: no family, no friends and no lover. Destined to be alone. This sudden emotion of loss his Kurama was feeling was something he didn't feel at all.

Fingers touched his creamy smooth cheek, wiping the tears away. "I didn't even get to tell her the truth. She died not even knowing what her son is; she deserves to know."

"Kurama…" His fox was in pain and it hurt Hiei too.

"Koenma! He can…! See you later, thanks!" He quickly threw on a pair of old clothes and ran out the door.

Hiei's red eyes watched him leave. "Hn." He jumped out the window into the night.
