One reviewer wants this story to be a Hiei/Kurama yaoi. Personally I don't how to make this a romance story because technically Kurama isn't even there. But if enough people want this to be a yaoi then I'll change it. But you have to let me know if you want it to be. If not then I'll keep it how it is which will probably be easier. A lot easier...

Yusuke decided to keep Kurama bundled in everyone's jackets. He was still shivering rather violently from his underwater ordeal. Who could blame him? That was scary.

"Thought we almost lost you there for a second." Yusuke said trying to make conversation. He set the bundled up Kurama in his bed and asked Keiko to retrieve the quilt and get even more blankets. He looked back at Kurama who forced a small smile.

"I thought I was dead too." he said in a shaky voice. His face was a light blue color, but his normal color was returning slowly. He was trying to keep his breathing steady and normal. It was hard. Kurama didn't want to admit it but he was so frightened. These sins were slowly killing him. If they didn't leave his body soon he would die. Gluttony's punishment was bad but Envy's was worse. The punishments were probably going to get more brutal and difficult to handle.

"I don't know how much more I can take." He whispered. Yusuke looked at him with sympathy. Hiei couldn't even face him. This was the first time he wasn't able to protect someone he cared about. Not that there were many people he cared about but Kurama was one of the few. The fox had been there when the fire demon needed him. Why couldn't he do the same?

"Don't worry, Kurama!" Kuwabara yelled happily. "Love told us how to get rid of these nasty sins without involving the even nastier virtues!"

Kurama looked at him with curiosity. There was a way to get rid of the sins without punishments. He wanted to hear but he felt himself slipping into unconciousness. Before he was fully passed out though, he thought he saw something inside him. He thought it was Envy...but she was dead. Wasn't she?

Keiko came running into the room with blankets in her arms. There were so many she could barely see over them. She dropped the blankets at the edge of the bed and looked at Yusuke, then Kurama, then back to Yusuke.

"You didn't change him?" she asked.

"What?" he said.

"Why didn't you guys change his clothes? They're dripping wet! He'll never get warmer if you leave him in those clothes!" she scolded.

The guys looked at each other and shrugged. Keiko just rolled her eyes. "I'll stand outside while you guys change him into warmer clothes. Check his drawers for pajamas or something." she said. She turned around but ran into another person. "Ah!" she cried when she saw who it was.

"Hello, again!" Love cried out. She had on a different outfit this time. Her hair was still in pigtails held by green ribbons. Her body was covered with a green flowy dress that went to her knees. On her feet were green heels. "How is everyone?" she said.

"Why are you back here?" Hiei asked clutching the hilt of his sword. "Envy is gone." he said.

Love shook her head and smiled. "Get your hand away from that sword and I'll explain." she said.

Hiei slowly removed his hand. It wouldn't make that much of a difference. He could still reach for it and cut her head off before she could blink. Love didn't seem to realize that. She smiled and walked closer to Kurama. "I made a little mistake with the punishment process." she said.

"What kind of mistake? I think you did a good job. Just look at Kurama!" Yusuke cried.

"Well, I didn't mean to punish him. If I hadn't lost him in the water then he wouldn't have suffered any. I would have taken him out. But while I was punishing Leviathan I made her think the water was warm so she wouldn't suffer too much. As a result, I didn't deliver her punishment." Love said.

"What is her punishment?" Kuwabara asked.

"To be dipped in freezing water. I dipped her in warm water though. She's partly alive."

Hiei glared at Love. "Why couldn't you make the water warm for Kurama?" he said through his teeth.

Love looked back at him. "I didn't make the water warm. I made Leviathan think the water was warm. By the time Kurama emerged she was dead and I had lost her so I lost control. I didn't mean to let Kurama suffer her punishment." She looked down at the ground. "I didn't want to hurt anyone. I thought I could get around making Leviathan suffer but I guess not." She wiped some tears away from her eyes.

"You made her cry, Hiei!" Kuwabara yelled.

"There's no reason to cry."

Everyone looked at Kurama who had sat up. His skin was no longer blue, but green, along with his hair. Envy got off the bed and stood in front of her virtue. She wiped the tears away from her face and smiled. "Why do you cry?" she asked.

Love began to cry even more. She covered her face so she wouldn't have to look at her poor sin. She knew Envy wasn't bad. She just wanted to be at peace. Love had tried to do that but failed. And now she felt even worse because Kurama had suffered for no reason. Here Envy was, standing right in front of her. She owed her an explanation before she punished her properly. "I didn't want to hurt you, Leviathan! But I wound up hurting Kurama and now I'm going to have to hurt you! That's two people who suffered. I'm so sorry."

Envy just smiled and pressed her forehead against Love's. "I'm half dead if it makes you feel any better. And you shouldn't feel bad. I know you got yelled at by some of the other virtues. Humility will probably punish you for your mistake. You don't deserve it. You made me happy. You tried to prevent me from suffering. That's more than any of the other virtues can say." Envy pulled Love into a hug. "Thank you so much for everything, Love. Forget me not." Envy kissed her virtue on the cheek and looked her in the eyes. The only thing Love could see in those once envious eyes was love. "I love you." Envy said. Then she was gone.

Kurama's body fell back onto the bed. His hair was once again red and his skin was a normal color. Love rubbed her tears away and turned to the detectives. "Envy felt love. She started to act like her virtue. That's why she died. She's gone for real now."

"You have nothing to feel bad about." Keiko said. "You helped Envy. That's all that matters."

"What did Envy mean when she said you were going to be punished by the virtues?" Hiei asked.

Love waved her hand. "Oh, that. Well, they weren't to happy with me delivering the punishment the wrong way. I'm not in charge. Humility is. He'll probably have something waiting for me when I get back. He'll probably dip me in freezing water too. Or knowing him, boiling water." Love shook her head. "I can't stay. I have to leave now that Leviathan is gone. But if you ever need me just call my name. I'll be happy to help."

"Why would you help us? We're more on the side of the sins then with the virtues." Yusuke said.

Love smiled. "After a few millenia of living the virtues lost their values. They decided they were better than everyone and didn't need to follow the rules. They still follow the virtues. Like Chastity won't have sex and Sobriety won't get over obessed with anything...but...they don't act like angels should. I don't like them any more. If you ever need me just call me. I have to go. Bye." Then she disappeared.

"So one virtue still remains virtuous." Hiei said in a low voice.

"Yea, it sucks having a virtue who craves the blood of their sin. Leviathan was lucky." Everyone looked at Kurama who was sitting up now and smiling widely. "How ya doin'?" he said.

"And you are?" Yusuke said.

Hiei rolled his eyes. "Can't you feel the sensuality emenating from her? It's Lust again."

"I'm glad you remember me, fire demon. You know we can have a lot of fun together." she said in a sulky voice.

"You're made for nefarious deeds done in dark places..." Hiei mumbled.

"You know it!" She stretched like a cat on the bed and laid out. "Gosh, these clothes are so wet! I need to change. Want to help me, Hiei?" she said.

Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Keiko grabbed the bundle of blankets and ran out of the room. "You take care of that, Hiei!" Yusuke called. Then he slammed the door behind him. Hiei looked back at Lust with an emotionless face. There was no way he was having sex with his best friend. Lust stood and began to take off her clothes. She didn't even bother to look for new ones. Hiei decided to do it for her. He walked over to a dresser but stopped midway. Something was wrong with him. His Jagan eye was acting up. Something was trying to get inside him. And it succedded. "Oh no." he said. "Chastity."

Did you enjoy that chapter? I hope so. And let me know if you want this to be a yaoi...if not I won't, if so I will. But first tell me what you thought of the chapter!
