Authors Note: To let everyone know I have updated this from when it was posted, after rereading it I realized it needed more description and I want to edit some parts.

"Hey Kuwabara, I bet I can beat you to the arcade!" Challenged Uremeshi Yuusuke as he and his four friends ambled down the streets of Tokyo, Japan. He was in the front of the group. He smirked as he waited for an answer. Yuusuke was wearing his normal green school uniform, which was much too hot for the summer weather, but he hadn't shown a hint that he was getting tired. "Okay, ready, set," He began, already gaining speed as he spoke. "GO!" He shouted, taking off. He cackled, turning a corner.

"Uremeshi! You ba-cheater!" Kuwabara Kazuma the only human member of the Tantei yelled, correcting himself as several children walked back. He took off after his rival, not wanting to be held back by anything else. Yusuke was far ahead of him by the time he actually got going. Kuwabara was also wearing a school uniform but his was a bright blue.

Minamino Shuuichi, better known as Kurama, sighed as he watched two of his partners sprint around the corners. He wasn't in the mood to pretend that he was a normal ningen today. Its because we haven't had in missions in awhile. They both a extra energy they need to burn off, at least they're not beating anyone up today. He thought shuffling along. I really don't want to go to the arcade. I haven't been there since-.

Great Inari Shuuichi the boy knew the game he was playing, and what his odds were, there was nothing we could do. Now quit being a pansy it is annoying me.

Kurama sighed deeply. It had been like this since the last mission they had gone on. There wasn't anything that he could do to silence Youko Kurama the demon sharing his body. At this point Kurama wished that his mind could be blocked from the Makai bandit. By now he knew that, this was impossible. Not that he hadn't tried several times.

He stopped before the entrance of the familiar building. With its aged bricks and bright sign. He collected his wits, and made a vow to give nothing away from his body language, unsure if he would be able to keep it.

He heard the familiar sound of many beeps and other electronic sounds as he entered the small arcade. He was worse than he had expected. His mind kept showing flashes of all of the horrible things he had ever done. (Well not him exactly but you know what I mean) Worst thing was that his memory froze, showing the horrified expression of the Game Master as Kurama performed the final moving. Sealing another's fate. And taking a life.

With all of this going through his head, you can probably imagine that Kurama failed keeping his face apathetic. His face was a mixture of regret, sorrow, and self disgust. Not a very pleasent effect even for our dashing hero. He stared at the ground, not wanting anyone to see his face.

Needless to say Kurama wouldn't have noticed Karasu himself was brought back to life before his very eyes. So the discreet warm air that approached him was unnoticed. This warm feeling traveled deeper than his skin and into his mind. But no need to worry. This presence had no intention of harming one of our main characters. It was merely exploring, trying to discern the emotions the kitsune was feeling.

After a few seconds of hesitation, a tentatively a warm hand grasped Kurama's firmly. The sudden change in temperature caused him to snap out of the trance, his gaze locked on the hand interlocked with his. Warm fingers entwined with his own. Kurama allowed his vision to slowly travel up the arm and into the owner's face. One that he knew too well.

Ruby red eyes met his emerald green ones, sparkling with an unknown emotion. But of course it must have been a trick of the light. The kitsune had a slight idea of what emotion it could be, but he knew well enough that, the emotion he was thinking of could never been in his friend's eyes.

It was nothing more than holding hands, but to Kurama it felt as though all of the pain had flown out of him. All of the thoughts coming from Youko and himself ceased suddenly, leaving only a mixture of peace and relief in his thoughts.

Hiei refused to look away from Kurama. His Within ten seconds he felt a hue of red erupt on his face. Kurama quickly looked down wishing the awkwardness would go away but he didn't want the other feelings to leave, but he gave Hiei's hand a slight squeeze, as if to say "Don't let go." Which Hiei didn't. This didn't bother Kurama at all.

Hiei snorted disdainfully as he walked. Yusuke and Kuwabara had made yet another childish wager. But this one was slightly less likely to get them killed. But with those two you never know. Hiei thought as he watched their progress. Its always entertaining to watch them though.

The only reason why Hiei had decided to come to this "arkad" was he had nothing else to do. The time in between cases was normally quite dull. Yukina was safely with Botan today. And he was still stuck in Ningenkai. Which left him free to watch over the only one close to him, the fox. He recently had decided to pay more attention to his best friend then what he normally did.

Kurama's recent take on life was really beginning to worry him. Normally the kitsune could play the part of human so flawlessly that to a normal human he fit right in. But in current times, Kurama's rouse was getting worse and worse. His attitude was downcast and angsty, he could no longer even fake a smile. His mother was also picking up on this, taking a page of the fire demon's book she had also begun to watch him.

All the more reason to make sure that he was near Kurama. As the kitsune paused outside the building Hiei could hear him take another huge sigh. Kurama placed his hand on the door and pulled it open. A small gust of wind made the kitsune's wild red hair flutter around his face.

Hiei sensed Kurama tense up, felt his heart skip several beats. Hiei cautiously walked towards Kurama, not sure what he was doing. He stopped standing beside his friend. Summoning some power from his Jagan, Hiei entered Kurama's mind.

Hiei stiffened as he watched the progression of memories and thoughts that were rushing through Kurama's mind. Quickly he withdrew himself, before any of Youko's wards went off, catapulting him out, painfully.

As you know Hiei doesn't have much experience in human matters, but he had witnessed a few of them. One being whenever Kuwabara and Yukina were together, they would hold hands. Hiei slithered his stiff hand into Kurama's limp one. Abruptly the kitsune jolted back into reality. Hiei held his breath as his partner's gaze shifted up to his face.

Kurama didn't look away from Hiei's gaze for what seemed like forever, and what also seemed to only last for a second. He looked away, a slight pink blush emerging on his face. Hiei felt a slight squeeze from Kurama. Hiei took this meaning "Don't let go." He made a vow that he would stay like this also long as Kurama needed him. (Author: Aw. How sweet!...Sorry back to the story)

The two stayed like that for the time they were in the arcade. Yusuke and Kuwabara didn't notice, seeing as they were trying to bet each in every video game that was in the small place, trying to win against each other

(Well, that's better than what it was, I am still not sure if I pulled off the characters right, I haven't seen all of YYH in a long time . Please, please comment! As I said before this is my first fanfiction. Thank you to all those who have read and done so. Hopefully this edit made it better, as some of you may have noticed I fixed the spelling errors. Please remember I live in America and thus don't know much about Japanese culture or anything along that line. I need to have my beta/twin look this over to see if its better)

Note: I put the last names first, from what I know that's why they do in Japan (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I spelled Yuusuke with two 'u's and Shuuichi differently, my beta reminded me about spelling.)
