Set #1

1. Succulent: Hiei knew nothing of a warm home with a loving family, so he appreciated it all the more when he was invited to Kurama's house for the American holiday of Thanksgiving and allowed to share in the bounty of the succulent turkey the fox had prepared.

2. Ball: Kurama caught the longing look in his partner's eyes as they passed a small child playing with a ball in the street; it saddened the redhead because he knew that he would not be allowed to comfort Hiei when really, that's what the smaller demon needed most.

3. Steamer: Yusuke and Kuwabara often marveled at how clean and unwrinkled their vulpine friend managed to be; at least until Hiei disenchanted them by explaining that having control over the organic fibers in his clothes served Kurama better than any garment steamer ever could.

4. Entrance: Hiei would never tell Kurama that he entered through the window not because he was shy about meeting Shiori, but because he liked Kurama to see him when he made his entrance.

5. Kaleidoscope: For people who only knew Kurama on a base level, the fox's eyes were placid and green; for Hiei, who had seen all his partner had to offer, the orbs were a kaleidoscope of colors that never stopped moving.

6. Birth: Unlike most people, Kurama remembered his birth clearly; he remembered the pain it had caused his mother, but he also remembered the look of pure joy in her eyes when the doctor placed him in her arms.

7. Monster: Hiei thought himself to be forbidden, taboo, a monster of devastating proportion, but when Kurama held him and whispered words of love in his ear, he knew what it meant to be treasured.

8. Orchid: Kurama's eyes hardened at the potted orchid his mother had given him for his graduation; he knew that it meant 'perfection' in the language of flowers, and once again his heart mourned the fact that the woman could never know the truth.

9. Hunger: When he thought no one was looking, Hiei would stare at Kurama like he was a piece of meat that he desperately wanted to consume.

10. Short: Kurama covered his mouth with one hand to block the laughter that threatened to spill out as he watched Hiei struggle to reach the ice cream on the top shelf of the freezer.

11. Desolate: On some level Hiei was glad that he hadn't grown up in the glacial village; it was a cold, desolate place where he could never imagine being happy.

12. Imitate: The disaffected attitude that Kurama adopted so easily was not one that Hiei was skilled in, but one he found easy to imitate.

13. Overwhelm: The Jagan was dangerous sometimes because it allowed its wielder to see and feel so many things; the first time Hiei and Kurama made love, Hiei cried because he was overwhelmed by the depth of emotion he was feeling from his partner.

14. Dusk: "Arrogant fox," Hiei whispered after Kurama had remarked that his hair was meant to be the same color of the sun as it set into dusk; still, he could think of no better way to describe it.

15. Crown: Kurama was the undisputed King of Thieves, and such was the fox's arrogance about the fact, that it stunned Hiei that Kurama would possibly give up his crown for the sake of one human woman.

16. Blood: When Yusuke fell into a depression about his newly discovered demon hood, Hiei pointed at Kurama and murmured that blood had nothing to do with what a person became.

17. Seed: Kurama once told Hiei that he was capable of making any plant grow anywhere; Hiei had scoffed at that, and as a result found dark purple lilies growing out of his walls in Alaric until he admitted that the fox had been right.

18. Myth: For Kuwabara, who had always thought that dashing heroes with magic powers were a myth, seeing Hiei and Kurama in the heat of battle together was a dream come true.

19. Key: It was such a momentous occasion when Hiei presented his partner with a key to his rooms in Alaric that Kurama refrained from reminding him that he could have picked the locks and entered the rooms anytime he wanted.

20. Queue: Hiei was always insecure about his place by Kurama's side when they returned to the Makai for good; he knew that there was a line of more eligible demons waiting to take his place as the consort to the King of Thieves, but when he muttered this to Kurama one night, the fox laughed and said there was no one more eligible than him.

21. Shouldn't: It didn't matter that they could barely be in the same room without fighting, or that Yusuke and Kuwabara laughed at the idea; they didn't care that they shouldn't have worked together- just that they did.

22. Art: Kurama was not submissive by any stretch of the imagination, (quite the opposite, in fact) but he found it hard to complain when Hiei's dominance was such an art.

23. Slept: It didn't take long for Hiei to trust Kurama enough to sleep in his presence; this was probably a good thing because he was too busy sleeping to realize that it took the fox much longer to return the favor.

24. Robot: Kurama once accused Hiei of having the emotional maturity of a robot; Hiei turned away and murmured that at least his emotions were real.

25. Eulogy: To everyone's surprise, Hiei turned up for the funeral when Kuwabara finally died, and stood next to Yukina and Yusuke, offering them his strength.

26. Persnickety: "How Kuronue would laugh to see me now," Kurama murmured as he watched Hiei leave again; the fox had never pursued so persnickety a lover before, and wondered at the energy he was willing to expend to chase this one.

27. Night: Yusuke found it irritating that no matter how brightly colored Kurama was, he could always manage to sneak up on the mazoku, day or night.

28. Ovulate: When Hiei accused him of mothering, Kurama folded his hands neatly and replied that he didn't have the organs necessary to do any such thing.

29. Coconut: Kurama could never figure out how someone who bathed as infrequently -and inferiorly- as Hiei could always smell so pleasantly of warm fruit.

30. Onanism: Kuwabara didn't know that Kurama's window was not the only one Hiei frequented, until the little jaganshi threatened him with certain death if Kuwabara ever touched Kurama like obviously wanted to; the human scowled and vowed to close his blinds while he was masturbating.

31. Glee: Hiei knew better than anyone that everything about Kurama was an expertly crafted - and maintained- fiction; the one thing he couldn't control, however, was the glee that shone from his eyes when he was truly happy.

32. Scream: Hiei learned the hard way that the usually quiet and refined Kurama was not so when in the throes of passion.

33. Fingers: Kurama's fingers were never still: they were always twitching with the need to grab something that didn't belong to him.

34. Nothing: Whenever the fox was mad, Hiei equated his eyes to a blank wall; there was no wrath or malice in those green depths, just bleak emptiness that spoke of the imminent destruction of whoever was in his way.

35. Become: "We don't have to work that hard at it Hiei; we can become one easier than any before us."

36. Individual: It was a well kept secret that Kurama had chosen the colors for his hair and eyes because he was not content to be just another human.

37. Harder: "Harder, gods Hiei, harder; I'm not going to break!"

38. Ice: Hiei was the one with the koorime background, but Yusuke and Kuwabara were hard pressed to decide who was colder in their anger, Hiei or Kurama.

39. Hue: Kurama thought that it was a shame Hiei wore so much black; there were really more hues to the jaganshi than anyone would ever know.

40. Return: For all he was usually one step ahead of everyone else, Hiei's return to Ningenkai startled Kurama so badly that he wept openly for the first time.

41. Culture: Hiei was perfectly fine sticking to all of the foods and places that he knew well, while Kurama, on the other hand, was much more cultured, and enjoyed experiencing new things; Hiei would never admit it, but being with the fox opened his eyes to things that he would have never other wise experienced.

42. Compassion: Kurama was known for being the kind one, but really Hiei was more capable of mercy and compassion than the fox would ever be.

43. Alarm: There wasn't an alarm system in the human world that could catch Kurama if he didn't want to be caught, but Hiei was faster than his vulpine counterpart so anytime Kurama tried to steal from Mukuro, he was there to catch him.

44. Star: Hiei didn't believe in wishes, mostly because stars in the Makai meant something more malevolent than the stars above Kurama's house.

45. Tolerance: Shiori was surprised when she was introduced to the short dark haired male who seemed to be the source of her son's happiness, not because of Kurama's choice of lover, but because her secretive son saw fit to share something with her.

46. Modesty: Kurama was rarely seen in any state of undress, which Hiei took for granted as a form of modesty; he learned later when they started living together, that the fox really had a love for being naked for the right audience.

47. Accused: "I know Kurama's fucking someone, Hiei," Yusuke accused, "And I know you know who it is; you're the only one he would tell!"

48. Text: Hiei was annoyed that Kurama insisted on getting him a cell phone that somehow worked all the way in Alaric; even more annoying were the cutesy texts that the fox would send at the most inopportune times- like when Mukuro was looking over his shoulder.

49. Nuclear: When the two of them fought - really fought, not just argued - it was like a nuclear war; no one was safe from the fallout.

50. Butoh: As he watched the performance, Hiei mused that Kurama was much like a Butoh dancer when he fought; his face might have been blank and emotionless, but all he was feeling came out in his movements.
