Lily here with another episode of Hieko! This is by far the most successful story I have written and that is thanks to all the reviewers out there! Thank you! Now with the story shall we?

"Kurama? Kurama!" Yusuke's voice yelled into the receiver.

Kurama's mind was racing; the words were playing in his head…

He must take it before the next full moon… Or he dies…

Hiei? Die? He never thought it was possible… If he didn't find him then he would lose him…

"Yusuke, quick, when's the next full moon?" He shouted back.

"Um, well…"

"Tell me!" He screamed louder now.

Yusuke, shocked by Kurama's sudden ferocity quickly ran to his old computer and typed out words. He tried to hurry to avoid the fox's scary wrath. Images perked on his screen and he read it carefully, then, he put the phone to his ear.

"If this is correct…" He spoke slowly, "The next full moon is on Sunday…"

Kurama held his breath. Sunday? It was already Friday night! He didn't have much time to find Hiei!

"Thank you." And before Yusuke could say anything, he hung up. Going home was not an option; he had to find Hiei quick!

……………………..

The fire… So warm and comforting… It felt nice… He liked this place…

Where was he?

He didn't care. It was safe…

He felt himself purr in delight and this made him sick. He decided to open his eyes and, right in front of him, was a girl. He jumped back in shock and scratched at her hand that lay beside him. She seemed unconcerned at her bruise. Smiling, she tried to stroke him but he hissed and scratched her more. She laughed…

"Wow!" Her eyes were brewing with tears, "You act just like Tiger!" She noticed her tears and wiped them away.

Hiei hissed again, trying to avoid her eyes, they were looking at him with so much care. They reminded him too much of…

Kurama…

He suddenly wondered if he was still searching but then put it aside, Kurama must have already given up and forgot about him. While he was with his thoughts, the girl had put in front of him a bowl of milk. At first, he was reluctant to drink but overcame to dehydration.

Damn this is good… "Meow…"

"Hey you sound quite cute!" She tried to pet him but he scratched her again and continued to lap on the bowl.

He began to realize how difficult it was to breathe now; he had to force a lot of air in. Walking was a problem too, had he worn out his body by all that beatings and running? Even drinking seemed to take a lot of effort…

"My name is Dianne…" She smiled again and he snorted, "This is my shop. What's you name?"

Hiei stared at her. Was she delirious? He couldn't talk to her and if he could he wouldn't anyway.

"I may sound crazy… But I think cats can understand humans you know?" She looked at him again and repeated her question, "What's your name?"

"Meow…" Hiei… He continued lapping at the bowl.

She clapped her hands delightedly. "You ARE like my cat! His name was Tiger! He acts just like you but he would always listen to me!"

The neko didn't seem to care about her life but he listened, he had nothing else to do so he might as well listen. He always felt tired so there was no use in moing. She carried on working while he watched her. She had told him her whole life, it was quite miserable when her cat, Tiger, died. Maybe that was why she took Hiei in. Even though he could do nothing and was bored, he was happy to sleep on a bed…

"Good Night Cat…" She whispered as she disappeared through the door into her bedroom, leaving him to drift into sleep.

He woke up when it was dark, he couldn't breath properly. He huffed and puffed and coughed. He shook his fur and hacked on his breath. He wanted to move, to ask for help, anything. He tried to meow but nothing could escape his lips.

Then just as fast as it started…

It stopped…

He breathed heavily, filling his lungs with fresh air. What had happened? What was happening to him?

He tried to move but he seemed as tired as ever…

He was afraid he would not wake up again…

But he had no choice…

He fell asleep…

……………………………………..

The sunlight was beaming down on Kurama ad he squinted. He sighed; he had spent the whole night searching and had found nothing. Now, as the sunlight flooded the streets. The dreaded horror crept on him…

It was Saturday…

End! It was short because I wanted more suspense and Dianne is based upon my friend whose cat is soo scary and scratches everyone around it. But it's a good cat! Review!

Suspense is building! Will Hiei make it?
