OMG I DON'T OWN YU YU HAKUSHO!! ...DUH. :)

Chapter 8: H is for Hiei


Warmth set over the cozy room lit solely by fireplace. Feet drawn to his chets, a blanket many sizes too large was draped over Hiei's shoulders which he had pulled tightly to his chest. The flames danced in his eyes, brightening the vibrant red orbs.

The transparent sections of the only window in the room had long-since frosted over from the cold and there was no sound save for the gentle 'plip' of fresh snow hitting the window and resting on its pane. A slight chill ran through Hiei, but it passed quickly. Behind him, he heard the door to the room open and shut with a shoprt squeak.

"I put extra marshmallows in yours, Hiei," The red-hair fox explained as he handed his friend a warm, brown mug, steam pouring from the opening.

"Hn," was the simple response he gave. Kurama smiled and took a seat behind him.

"You know, Hiei, I really enjoy these evenings with you." A short time passed and the youkai had not spoken, so Kurama went on. "It isn't often I get to spend time with you and when I do, those times are very special to me." Hiei still gave no spoken response, but furrowed his eyebrows, as if considering what the fox had said to him. "I know you probably don't believe me...with the way you've been treated your whole life, but..." Kurama paused to take a sip of his cocoa, "...I don't think I could imagine life without you," he finished in a soft tone.

The silence over them deepened until Hiei raised up a corner of his blanket.

"You look cold, Fox." Kurama blinked a few times, then nodded and scooted closer, joining Hiei under the blanket.


NS: Well, okay then. There's chapter 8! Yeah, just a little shonen-ai for you that time...but I can't have all thechapters sounding the same, can I? Thought so! R&R!
