'You're sure about this,' Hiei said in a flat tone.
'Of course I am.'
'Tarukane,' the jaganshi said flatly. 'He'll die. Slowly.'

'Hn. You, fox, have a low and devious mind.'
'I know.' Kurama smirked evilly.
'Hn.' Hiei hesitated on the verge of flickering away. 'Fox.'
'What?'
'……thank you.'
Kurama's eyes twinkled, pleased. 'Just my job. All in a day's work for the mastermind, right?'
'Your modesty is touching.' But Hiei was smiling too, before he left. Just a little, mind.
A/N: if Tarukane was blocking the Jagan, how else would Hiei have got to know? Not Yusuke or Kuwabara, that's for sure.
