Hi! The tenth chapter is here now! Enjoy readers!

Hiei's eyes blinked open slowly. Air filled his lungs easier now and he didn't feel tired at all. He wasn't in that girl's house anymore, he was in the place he was supposed to be. Kurama was there, doing his work quietly and the only sound he heard was the beeping of the air conditioner and the scribbling of Kurama's pen. He sat up on the sofa and watched the fox, who did not know Hiei was awake.

Kurama? "Meow?" His cute voice sounded unsure.

Kurama's head immediately turned when he heard his meow. They stared at each other for a while before Kurama spoke.

"Your awake, are you feeling better?" He said softly.

The cat shook its legs and paws before nodding.

"Well then," Kurama got up from his chair and picked Hiei up.

What the hell are you doing? "Meow!"

"Relax," The redhead laughed, "You're filthy so I have to clean you."

The feisty neko tried to resist his firm grip, but was unfortunately still too small. He shivered as Kurama took him into the bathroom and placed him in the sink. He hissed and growled; trying to escape but the fox was too strong. He turned the tap and warm water gushed out. Hiei puffed up his fur in disgust. How he hated water, it must have been natural as he was a cat after all…

Kurama soaped up the shivering and scared cat while holding him by the scruff of his neck, immobilizing the small kitten. Minutes went by as he cleaned the cat of mud and dirt. He was filthy, as if he had been thrown in a lake of mud. The fox persistently scrubbed him clean until his tail was milky white and his fur was silky. He made sure not a single hint of dirt was on his body. After that, he reached for a towel, only to realize he left it on his desk. He stared at the wet cat and said,

"Wait here; I'll only be a second…" He let go of his neck and left the room.

Hiei shivered a bit, he was cold and Kurama stopped the warm water. He shook his fur and water sprayed onto the tile floor.

"Hiei………."

The whisper made the cat freeze. His ears perked up and he tried to call Kurama. A huge paw that grabbed him and escaped the small window muffled his cry.

When the boy came back, there was no sign of the cat. He looked out the small window and saw a shadow flitting through the roofs and going to the mountains. He had no choice, he ran towards his window and jumped off, following the creature's scent and aura. It was his only hope to find Hiei.

No! Hiei!
