Author's Notes: More Yu Yu Hakusho, hooray! I'm going through a phase of loving YYH right now. I've been re-watching the anime and noting down drabble ideas as I go along. Drabbles are so fun and satisfying to write, and I love the challenge of the word limit. I just finished episode 58 and couldn't resist writing a little piece about one of the cutest Hiei moments EVER.

Disclaimer: I am not the owner of the glorious, hilarious, adorable, lovable, excitable, wonderful, huggable, AWESOME YYH.


Drabble #3: Hibernate

Hiei felt exhaustion rush to greet him like the dragon he'd just consumed. Every drop of energy in his body was drained. His legs trembled under the strain of supporting him.

He forced himself to stagger over to his teammates. Their words swirled chaotically around his numb senses. Fear, exultation, relief, calm amusement. Kurama, of course.

He struggled against oblivion. Part of him was terrified of being so vulnerable in sleep. He masked it with his usual insults.

"If I wake up… and we've lost I swear I'll… kill… you… all…" His hold broke and he fell backwards into black.
