Hey everyone okay since today is a certain celebrity's birthday I decided I would put up a two-shot story because this start is my FAVORITE of everyone! Anyways if anyone thinks they know who this is then put it on the review and I'll tell who got it write in my next chapters.

Thanks to all of my reviewers I swear on my one year anniversary of being on this site you should expect something nice from me!

The Face Of Death

The gang was presently in a forest a little ways from the city on a mission from Koenma. The mission was to find and kill a demon that had mysteriously gotten into the Ningenkai.

"Come on Uremeshi let's just go and get this done with." Kuwabara said silently from their spot just outside of the demon's location.

"Alright fine on three." Yusuke said as everyone got ready. "1." He started. "2, 3." On cue all four sprang into action. The unknowing demon instantly became aware as the gang came after him. (Wow I hate writing fight scenes.)

Yusuke shot his Spirit Gun, which was easily deflected by a shield put up by the demon. "Damn." Yusuke muttered. Suddenly Hiei disappeared for a moment reappearing beside the demon katana ready for an attack.

"This is the last place anyone would expect to see you Hiei." The fire demon stopped in his tracks. "Helping humans in their world, I didn't think you would lower yourself to that level." Hiei quickly smirked as everyone else watched carefully.

"Quiet fool I-."

"So it's true are as pathetic as everyone claims." The demon smirked knowing he had hit a somewhat soft spot on Hiei.

"The forbidden child never loved and never wanted. No one would even care if you died." Hiei's deep crimson eyes glazed over if even in the slightest.

Taking the opportune moment at his weakness the demon charged his own blade materializing from thin air as he quickly grew closer to the still form of Hiei.

"Hiei move!" Yusuke shouted from the sidelines taking another stance for another shot with his Spirit Gun. "Hiei!"

Hiei's P.O.V

I could hear the fox's voice calling my name echoing threw me, I felt unable to move from my spot.

Suddenly the feeling of being pushed brought me back to reality. Looking to my side I saw Kurama, the source of how I had been pushed.

What made my eyes widen was the sight before me, the demon had successfully stabbed the fox threw the stomach. That blow had been meant for me not him he shouldn't have taken it!

Withdrawing the sword from Kurama's body the kitsune fell to the ground blood freely falling from his open wound, I regained my sense enough to instantly go to him kneeling beside him.

"Baka kitsune why did you do that?" I asked him as his eyes opened to reveal his glassy emerald green eyes. "I couldn't let my best friend get hurt when I could have done something."

I quickly looked up to see Yusuke and Kuwabara taking on the demon, good at least that was getting done. "It was meant for me not you!" I said turning back to him.

He was loosing blood fast that was easy to tell but would he survive this? I didn't want to think about it… he would… he had to I wouldn't be able to live with myself if he did!

Letting out some of his breath he started again, "make sure Yusuke and Kuwabara don't kill each other okay?" I wouldn't hear of it. "I won't have to because you will." He only smiled a bit.

"It's good to see you being optimistic for once, but at a time where fate is already playing itself out." I couldn't say anything against that the cruel reality played in my head but I didn't want to admit it.

It was all happening so fast.

Slowly before I could even say anything to keep him conscious his eyes started to fall shut maybe to never open again. "Kurama." I said but nothing happened from him.

"Kurama!" I pleaded hoping to keep him here I wouldn't let him die for something that was meant for me.

The sound of beating came to my ears and I listened to it for a moment before I was able to distinguish what it was; Kurama's heart beat. He was still alive but barely using all his energy to keep from passing on.

Yusuke and Kuwabara made their presence known not long after that, Yusuke picked up Kurama as I stood up not wanting to stay here any longer.

"Come on Hiei we'll go to Genkai's." I didn't say anything… didn't respond just followed them into a portal that Kuwabara had ordered to be opened.

The sense of this weighed heavily on me how could it not it had been my mistake that caused Kurama this pain he didn't deserve it even if I had been in his situation I would have deserved it and would have already let myself die by now.

But who would expect anything less from the fox? He always had had such strong will power for seemingly anything it always seemed like a mystery to me how he could do that.

We appeared threw the portal and was instantly met by Genkia. "Alright put him in the spare room." She instructed as they started where she had said.

She pushed us out once that was done saying that she needed peace to try and heal him and she would get us when she finished. I went outside, this place was filled with so much tension and sadness and sadness in the air that it seemed to be choking me.

I couldn't stay around the others in this time it only added to the weight on me. But unfortunately my chance of trying to clear my mind in the slightest was cut short when I felt Yusuke and Kuwabara follow me out.

"Don't follow me." I said turning back to them. "Hiei this is your fault." My composure didn't falter in the slightest… maybe because I already knew it was my fault.

"Hn you're stating the obvious." Obviously they didn't like what I said. I turned away from them but felt the two coming closer to me.

"If you hadn't spaced out there Kurama wouldn't have been hurt!" Kuwabara stated as I turned back to them fully now to see they were only maybe a foot away from me.

"If Kurama dies it's your fault alone, and I hope it haunts you forever!" It's your fault the words echoed in my mind. I couldn't say anything against them it was true… all of it.

When I didn't reply they went back inside leaving me alone in this large temple… confronting things that I have known and denied for a long time.

No one would care if you even died.

That demon had been right… maybe… maybe I could do them a favor by dying.

Normal P.O.V

Hiei flitted off without another word said.

Kurama woke up about an hour later to see Yusuke Kuwabara, and Genkia sitting on the other side of the room. Slowly pushing himself up into a upright position everyone became aware of him.

"Hey you're up!" Yusuke and Kuwabara said simultaneously getting closer to him. "Hai, how did I get here?" He questioned coming to the conclusion that they were at the temple.

"We brought you back after you were wounded." Yusuke explained as Kurama thought a moment. "Where's Hiei?"

"He was outside last time we saw him." There was a sense of somewhat anger in Yusuke's voice. Kurama thought again trying to recall the memories of before.

"Yusuke what did you say to him?" He asked feeling himself jumping to a conclusion he did not want to accept. "Nothing." He said although the sense although the sense of lying was in his voice.

"Okay well we'll let you rest then." Yusuke said as they filed out of the room slowly closing the door behind them.

Kurama's P.O.V

Something felt wrong in my mind, something needed to happen soon but I was unable to tell what it was.

The demon strength in my body had allowed me to heal quicker now that I was conscious and able to control how much ki was going to my still wounded area.

I pushed myself up and thought about what I could do I could sense Hiei in the temple's perimeter so that was out of the way. Now all I had to worry about was trying to get out of the temple without being noticed.

A/N: I know it's a bad place to end but I want to end it now and still have something to write about in THE NEXT chapter. So please review and give me a guess as to what celebrity's birthday it is today!
