((A/N: Well, I just read a great story, and asked the writer if I could do a sequel. Of course this user said yes, or else you wouldn't be reading this. The original story was called Running Away, and it was written by Katie Jane. You'd have to read that first to understand this.

Warnings: There is talk of rape and shounen ai in this chapter.

Disclaimer: I own neither YuYu Haskusho or the fic Running Away.))

Hiei sighed in relief when Shiori left Kurama and him alone in the fox's room. It was true that the youko had promised to tell the ningen about his past, but the koorime didn't think he'd have to tell his story too. Hiei hated his past, hated being The Forbidden Child. But he couldn't say no to Kurama.

The hiyoukai was laying on Kurama's bed— no, their bed; Hiei practically lived with the kitsune and his ningen mother. The redhead was at his desk, doing homework that he would undoubtedly get a perfect mark on. Hiei watched as Kurama finished his work and put his things away. He walked over to his mirror and took his hair out of the ponytail it had been in and brushed the long strands. His green eyes came to the mark on his neck.

"Fox?" Hiei asked quietly. Kurama had his left hand on the dragon mark and his right over his mouth. The kitsune ran quickly to the bathroom, and the koorime could soon smell vomit. The raven haired demon shot up and ran into the bathroom to find his fox over the toilet, hair falling over his shoulders. Hiei walked carefully over to him and pulled his red hair away as he continued to puke. The smaller youkai knelled behind the youko and rest a comforting hand on his shoulder. Soon the toilet was flushed, and Kurama poured a cap full of mouth wash into his mouth. A minute later he spit it into the sink and drank some water before turning to Hiei.

"We… we really need to talk, koi," Kurama said in a hushed tone, filled with depression and pain. Hiei only nodded, knowing that he wanted to talk about The Night. They moved back to their room and sat to their bed. "Hiei… I need you to do something about this mark, I can't stand the sight of it. Please…"

"Fox… There aren't any good ways to take it off. The easiest way would be to change it, but for that, I'd have to take you again." Kurama shook his head quickly, and Hiei nodded before continuing. "I know that's not what you need right now, that's why I didn't mention it… The only other way is to… bathe it… in my blood, before carving it out of your flesh yourself." Kurama's face was enough to kill the koorime. "I'd be more than willing to sacrifice my blood, but I don't think you want to take a blade to your throat…. Shiori, you can come in…" There was a small 'meep' sound outside the room before the ningen entered the room.

"Mother…?" Kurama questioned. "How much did you hear?" Shiori was looking at her feet.

"Since we started this conversation," Hiei answered, and Kurama's mother nodded. "You need to work on masking your presence. The perfume is a dead give away."

"I'm not wearing perfume…"

"Then soap. I could smell it."

"Um… if I may, could I say something?" Both demons nodded and the human continued. "I think that the two of you should have intercourse again." Two gasps didn't phase her in the least. "It would be alot better than the other way… I just wanted to say that…" After speaking, Shiori turned on her heel and left.

"Fox, you don't need to do it. I know you're not ready. Why not just bandage your neck?" Kurama sighed.

"It will still be there. I can feel it, and it makes me sick."

Hiei's response was pulling Kurama into a warm and tight embrace. The youko rested his head on the raven's chest and the smaller demon pulled the redhead closer. After a minute, Kurama felt something hard and small hit his head. He looked up to see Hiei crying, round clear gems falling. "I… I want to help you, Fox, so bad… I just don't want to hurt you… I'm so sorry, I know it doesn't help, but I am. I want to take it back so badly, I really do, but it seems like I can't do anything to help you and all I can do is hurt you and that's the last thing I ever—"

Kurama pulled Hiei into a passionate kiss, quieting him, his tongue entering the koorime's heated mouth and twisting with his own. After a few minutes the two broke apart, and the redhead wiped away the last two tears that fell to the ground as gems. "It's okay koi, you didn't do it. It wasn't you, and you don't need to be sorry…"

After a few minutes and a deep breath, Kurama whispered, "take me."

((A/N: And we will see what happens in the next chapter.))
