1234

It was Tuesday afternoon when Hiei decided if he really was going to woo Kuwabara; be his lover…he needed to tell Yusuke and Kurama his plans. Hiei felt a twinge of uncomfortable anxiety in the pit of his stomach…Yusuke was going to kill him. Maim him. Yeah…this was going to be a blast!

Hiei sighed and went over his plan in his head. Tell Yusuke and Kurama, woo Kuwabara…somehow…and save Shizu-

"Stop that thought," Kay's demanding and harsh voice spoke up.

Hiei turned ready to tell the "messenger of love," to fuck off, but he paused.

Kay looked surprisingly…different. Kay had bags under his eyes, and his dark hair had flecks of gray. He stood in a slouched manner, hands shoved in his pockets. His bag which had been over stuffed with glowing red strings before, now had decreased in size, and the red strings had lost their vibrant luster.

"You alright?" Hiei found himself asking.

Kay blinked and smirked, "I'm already getting obliterated by the great lord Yenma. By the time your last Friday roles around I'll be an old man."

Hiei felt awkward. He wasn't sure what to say-but Kay then spouted out in an angry huff, "You can't save Shizuru…death is another person's department. You can't interfere in death…I only control love. The reason I'm fucking screwed over right now is because I brought Kuwabara back to life. Death and Life is not my jurisdiction. However you got one thing right, you should tell Yusuke and Kurama."

Hiei sighed, "Fuck…it would be easier if I could just save Shizuru…"

"Fuck you Hiei. This is not meant to be easy. You have to earn Kuwabara's heart…you dip-shit…" Kay trailed off suddenly eyes looking off in the distance.

Hiei raised a brow.

"Kay?"

However Kay did not answer again, instead he turned around, took two steps and disappeared before Hiei's eyes, fading away as if he was some sort of ghost. Hiei stood there silently wondering why Kay had left…though it wasn't like Hiei cared. Kay was after all, very steadily becoming the bane to Hiei's existence.

Hiei sighed and concentrated on more important things. Like arranging a meeting with Yusuke and Kurama. Hiei cringed as he picked up the phone…

There was no doubt that this was going to suck.

One hour later.

"You…you what?" Yusuke squeaked in the most uncharacteristic manner.

Hiei had chosen to meet Yusuke and Kurama in Yusuke's small apartment. That way if a scene was going to be caused then there would be some privacy so ears did not hear what was going on...and so Yusuke wouldn't explode all the surroundings around him and kill Hiei. Hiei had just told the two demons, and as expected the two looked as if they had just seen Hiei prancing around in a tutu wearing lip-gloss and gold eye shadow.

"I. Love. Kuwabara." Hiei said again, this time more slowly, drawing out each of his words, making sure what he said was properly annunciated.

Kurama leaned back against the couch he was currently seated on and whispered, "Well…this is a surprise."

"Are you fucking with me?" Yusuke asked leaning forward on the couch eyes angrily set on Hiei.

"No I am not," Hiei answered patiently knowing this would be the worst part.

However, Hiei was a little relieved to see Kurama was not so disturbed by the idea of Hiei loving Kuwabara. In fact Hiei was almost sure Kurama knew all along. Damn that fox…he was always just a step ahead of Hiei, not that Hiei would ever admit that.

"Are you messing with Kuwabara?" Yusuke's voice had gotten dangerously low and he grabbed Hiei yanking him up. Hiei winced slightly Yusuke's grip was especially hard. Yusuke's eyes gleamed down at him, a yellow haze of power flashing though those brown orbs. Kurama got up and tried to calm Yusuke, but a spark of painful energy zapped him as soon as he touched Yusuke's arm.

And this was the same energy Hiei was being strangled with.

"No…" Hiei managed to answer keeping his face calm.

"I won't allow it…if this is a game to fuck with Kuwabara I will break every bone in your body. Kuwabara was my first male friend, my first best friend, and has always done everything he could to look after me and ensure my safety-no matter how hurt he got. I am not going to allow you to break him…do you still claim you love him?" Yusuke asked, as he seemed to slowly be transforming into his demon form.

"I still claim it. I love Kuwabara," Hiei grunted. He was getting a little annoyed with himself for not fighting back, but lashing out at Hiei was not a good idea-especially since Hiei was seeking Yusuke's approval, and eventual help. Hiei was also feeling a weird churning in his stomach. Hiei was having a hard time saying he loved Kuwabara, and though Hiei knew he did…admitting you loved someone was hard.

And admitting it to his over-protective friend first was probably the worst.

"Listen…Shizuru died earlier today, and the only reason I'm not consoling my best friend is because I promised not to come over until he was ready. He is all alone in this world now, only thing he's got left is me, you, and Kurama. But I'm telling you now I will easily sever your bond with Kuwabara and myself if you hurt him. And you spewing this lie that your forcing on me to listen to has you hanging by a thread. Do you still say it? Do you dare?!" Yusuke voice was shaking and had gotten louder.

It seemed like the whole apartment complex was still and waiting for a response.

"I love Kazuma Kuwabara, and if I hurt him…I expect to be beaten to a pulp by you. But whether you approve or not, Yusuke Urameshi, I am going to seek Kuwabara's attentions, and before next Friday is up, I plan to be the most important person in his life second to you," Hiei said back even as he felt Yusuke aura strangling him.

"Alright then."

Hiei blinked as Yusuke dropped him, and then felt the decrease of Yusuke's power. Yusuke smiled and sat down and looked at Hiei smiling, while both Kurama and Hiei stared at Yusuke as if he was the craziest man alive.

"What? That's it?" Hiei asked trying to take in calm breaths so as not to show how close Yusuke had gotten to killing him.

However Hiei was confident if he had fought back Yusuke wouldn't have hurt him…right.

Positive.

"Yeah that's it. I would have done that to anyone-male or female. Kuwabara is the type of guy who gives his heart fully. So it can easily be damaged. So I made a promise to myself that I was gonna scare the fuck out of whoever claimed to love him-even if I knew them. So…congratulations. You passed my test," Yusuke grinned that cheeky little grin of his and then said, "And I will be kicking your ass any time you make him sad. Heaven forbid you ever make him cry…cuz it normally takes a death to make Kuwabara die. But if you ever get him to the point where he cries because you somehow hurt him-I will fuckingmurder you."

And with that promise Hiei felt an odd shudder move through him.

It was something close to…yeah-no…it was fear.

'Shit,' Hiei thought sitting erect and looking at both Kurama and Yusuke. Hiei felt especially afraid knowing that he'd already been hurting Kuwabara…for a long time. And though Hiei was going to make things right, he'd till already made things wrong.

Heaven forbid if Yusuke found out…

"Alright then. So…now what?" Hiei asked relieved to have this part over.

"Dunno…but I suggest you not talk to Kuwabara for awhile. His sister is gone and any second I'm sure he'll come over and need me here to help him through this. So go on…we'll talk about this later," Yusuke said his voice sounding even tempered as he spoke.

Hiei sighed, and wished that Kuwabara would come to him, but knowing that would not happen, Hiei obediently left.

When he got back home Hiei realized his conversation earlier with Kay had been too late. Shizuru was already gone, and Kuwabara would not come to him for help. He would go to Yusuke, Kurama, Yukina…everyone but him.

"That will change eventually Hiei. Stop being a piss bucket," Kay's voice floated in Hiei's room in Genkai's shrine. Hiei looked around but did not see the odd messenger of the heart. However Hiei felt that Kay was still there, and sighed.

"But I've got so little time to do it in…"

"It can't be helped. I can't give you anymore time Hiei. It may be running out…And unfortunately, you probably won't see Kuwabara until this Friday…so three days will go to waste…it's hard but you're the one that fucked up in the first place. It can't all be easy."

Hiei sighed accustomed to Kay's harsh words.

"Yeah…I know."

End of this chapter.

So once again sorry for the wait and please enjoy the next coming chapters. Coming up next is a time skip to Friday, hopefully Hiei won't screw it up.
