"Where's the shrimp?" Kuwabara asked looking around, Kurama looked as well unable to find the small demon.
"Kurama!" Yusuke shouted. Kuwabara and Kurama started running in his direction worried that perhaps the demon they had just killed had a friend. But what they saw when they arrived was not what they had been expecting, and what Kurama wished would never happen. He ran forward his red hair trailing behind him until he dropped to his knees beside where Yusuke was already kneeling.
"What happened?" Kuwabara asked looking at Yusuke who sat there staring at Kurama before looking up at him.
"The demon just attacked him, I was too far away to help. I'm sorry Kurama, I would have helped him..." Yusuke began but Kurama shook his head.
"No Yusuke, It's not your fault, you didn't do it, It wasn't your fault." Kurama said tears on his cheeks despite the fact that he had his head bent far enough so they couldn't see his green eyes. Kurama gently pulled the small body of Hiei into his arms so that Hiei's head rested on his chest. He wiped dirt off his lovers pale cheek before gently running his hand through the spikey black hair. Hiei slowly opened his large crimson eyes and looked at Kurama.
"Why are you crying, you stupid kitsune?" Hiei asked, though the words seemed mean they were said with a small smile and Kurama knew they were affectionate. Kurama shook his head softly unable to say anything.
"Kurama," Hiei said reaching a hand up to lay on Kurama's cheek.
"You'll be okay" Kurama whispered to him.
"No I won't." Hiei replied but Kurama shook his head vigorously.
"Everything is going to be okay, you'll be fine." Kurama sobbed.
"Stop being stupid, I'm going to die and you know it." Hiei growled at him. Kurama turned his head away, he didn't want to believe the words even though he knew in his heart they were true and it killed him.
Yusuke and Kuwabara sat there for an hour watching as their short friend was held by his lover as his life slowley faded away, the poison from the demons bite to Hiei's shoulder would take almost two hours to fully spread. But despite the long time there was nothing that could be done for him, not even Genkai's and Yukina's healing abilities would be able to help him now.
"Yukina's going to be sad, she just found out Hiei's her brother and now he dies." Kuwabara said to Yuusuke anaware that Hiei had heard him.
"Then comfort her you big oaf." Hiei told him and Kuwabara's mouth fell open.
"That's your twin sister and you don't like me." Kuwabara said shocked and Hiei chuckled weakly.
"You're good for Yukina, you have a big heart even if you are an idiot. Besides you make her happy." Hiei retorted his breath becoming shallow.
"It's almost at the two hour mark." Yusuke said. After that there was no more words exchanged Kurama sat listening to his lovers breath become weaker and weaker with every minute that passed.
"Kurama I love you." Hiei said causing Kurama to cry more, no matter how many times Kurama himself had said the words Hiei never had, though Kurama knew that he did love him and so he had never pressed.
I love you too." Kurama whispered as he watched the life fade from Hiei's eyes as he died.
