Alright, considering the next couple of chapters will be pretty much the same thing as the ones I plan on posting for Claiming the DragonHeart, there will be main differences to keep it from being the same story altogether, but they will be similar.

As a warning: Chapters with both Hiei and Kurama will end up like this, either ones from Kurama's point of view and the other being from Sonya's or visa versa. It adds depth to the story and it won't be exactly the same with different words. The ones where it's just Sonya/Kurama will be different from the ones with just Hiei/Sonya so please, sit tight and try to hold on for me -_-' I haven't done this before so I'm winging it at the moment.

As always, thank you for reading!

-I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or its characters-

"Kurama!" Sonya screamed as she was carried off, his green eyes widening in shock at the fact she was being taken from his grasp. Without glancing at Hiei, he took off in the direction of the forest that they traveled in, intent on somehow getting her back. He didn't know, nor did he care to work a plan out. A plan would take too long, and during that time, the Demon could have carried her off and out of his life for longer than he wanted. Ducking his head slightly, he dodged low branches and tried to streach out his senses to reach her. Something that would alert him of where she was.

"Fox, she's somewhere in the DarkWood." Hiei grunted from his side, startling Kurama from his thoughts and twisting his head to study the Fire Demon. "She must have fell." He murmured thoughtfully before returning his attention to Hiei beside him. "Tell her to stay where she's at. The last thing she needs to do is wander around somewhere she doesn't know and end up getting lost." Hiei nodded and fell silent again, relaying the message to her as they sprinted through the trees. They heard the Demon ahead of them calling out her name, making his blood boil in sudden rage that nearly choked him with it's strength. It was rare for him to feel so angry, it cleared his head in a way he never thought possible, making it easier to see, easier to navigate the ancient trees around them in search of Sonya.

"Up ahead." Hiei grunted again, not much for talking at the moment and alerting Kurama of the tight anger he barely contained in his own voice. Without asking, they split off to circle the tree on each side, knowing she would try to run without knowing who it was. Just as Hiei crouched in front of the small hole to peer inside at her, she screamed and blasted him back with a powerful wave of ice, encasing half of his head and earning a growl of surprise from him. Standing at the ready, Kurama caught her in his arms as she attempted to flee, wrapping his arms tightly once she began to flail her arms and legs to get away. "Sonya, calm down!" He said sharply, trying to get her to listen to reason.

He saw the flash of pure panic in her eyes when she looked up, his heart ached to see it on her face and stared back down at her, eyes tight with worry. "Oh god, I shot Hiei." She murmured, spinning around to look at the shorter one in panic. Hiei stood back up as she spoke, turning to study her with his one good eye. To the practiced glance that Kurama threw at his friend, he saw momentary relief flicker in those red orbs before dying out into the usual, dry expression he always wore. As she pulled from his arms, Kurama let her go with hesitation, not wanting to releace her yet, her solid form being the only thing he knew would calm down his rage and allow him to keep an even temper at the moment.

While she and Hiei spoke, he felt himself tune out their words, simply watching as she reached up to touch his hand and let out a low breath to calm himself. She was fine, she was safe and with him once again, just as he managed to calm his breathing, he caught sight of the blood staining his sleeve and frowned at it, momentarily at a loss for what it could have came from before realization hit him. "Sonya-" His exclamation was cut off as she suddenly crumpled to the ground, her blood finally reaching the point where too much had flowed from her body.

Hiei glanced up at Kurama, his face finally free of ice as he blinked both eyes, then as he opened his mouth to ask the question, the smell hit his nose and he stared back down at her. "There's a gash in her side." He hissed suddenly, crouching down to see it closer, a hand moving forward to move the metal band around her waist to the side so he could see better. "It runs from the middle of her ribs to her hip. Get her back to the temple, fox. Genkai can take care of her." He stood back up, locking eyes with Kurama in a silent challenge. He knew what he wanted, and for once, Kurama wouldn't feel the need to stop him as he turned and vanished into the trees.

He wanted the bastard hunted down himself. If only so he could have a crack at giving him a reason to regret ever laying eyes on Sonya. Leaning down, he carefully picked her up and headed back to the temple, some small part of his mind alerting him of an odd occurrence, as if what happened didn't go right, as if something had split off the main path and created a fork and shifted to change direction. Shaking off the odd feeling, he hurried through the trees, all too aware of the blood slowly soaking into his clothing with each step. He had to get her somewhere safe and healed before too much damage was done.


Kurama sat in a chair beside Sonya's bed, hours after he finally reached the temple, soaked in blood and carrying a very limp and very pale Sonya to the others surprise and worry. Once he had her settled in a bed, everyone assaulted him with questions, what happened, why is she hurt, where was Hiei. Each and every one voiced only adding to his mental and physical exhaustion. Finally he told the he would explain everything in the morning once he knew she was alright and closed himself off in her room, away from the questioning glances and whispered thoughts.

Reaching over, he picked up her hand in both of his, staring at her face and silently willing her to open her eyes, he longed to see the deep, clear blue of them if only to tell him she was aware. At this point, she could wake up and tell him she wanted Hiei and he would be relieved. Genkai warned him she might not wake up this night or most of tomorrow for that matter, then went on to say she was a fighter and it was also likely she could wake hours from now instead of days. He didn't care, he wanted her there with him, he wanted to see her whole and healthy. Leaning his head down, he pressed his forehead to her hand he clasped tightly. "Wake up, Sonya." He whispered, ignoring the faint catch in his voice. "Wake up for me."
