Disclaimer: I don't own, nor am I affiliated with the makers of Yuu Yuu Hakusho. Also as I couldn't find Kurama, human Step-fathers name on any Yuu Yuu Hakusho sites I have borrowed shiorifoxiesmom's one Kazuya. The language I'll be using as Ancient Makic is borrowed from Christeen Feehan's Carpathian series, or I'll write it in English like this blah blah.
SORRY FOR THE WAIT!!!
Chapter Nine-Dancing With Flames -
~*~
Unknown POV~*~
Recap: "Even your friends that hybrid Enma wanted dead, Koenma's little detective, that fox…hmm, now that is a yummy piece of demon, think you're a disgusting waste of space. They don't even look for you, see?" she said holding out her hand.
A shimmering image appeared and Hiei had to look away, as the image showed what he had dreaded, they really didn't care. The pair where snuggled on the couch at Kurama's mothers, talking with her and the foxes family, their thighs pressed close and every few moments they shared either a kiss or a look or a touch.
"Their not coming…I knew it, I'm fool to have hoped they would look for me," Hiei thought feeling his very soul shatter, so much for the friend ship they preached about.
"What do you mean he's missing?" I hissed glaring venimously at the figure before me, the stupid wretch who had cased the wrong spell, who had failed to bring me my prey. Rage flooded my form and my hands back small fists in my lap as I glared down at the man. "I-I'm most sorry my lady!" he said stuttering the strench of fear hitting me in a delightful wave, "I had him. I did, but after I came back to our world he was no longer in my grasps. I dare say that someone or something snatched the fire forbidden as I moved through the rift between here and the mortal world!"
Excuses, excuses, that's all I get these day I thought bitterly and leaned back in my throne allowing my head to rest upon the palm of my hand, "Go, find him. But be warned this you fool, is your last chance to please me before I remove your head from your neck and shove a pike so far up your arse the gods will be seeing the tip of Mount Olympus!"

Odd Man Out POV~*~
Yukina curled further in on herself as pain shredded through her, tears rolling down her pale skin to form perfect hiruiseki knowing her brother, her beloved, faceless brother was feeling ten times worse the agony that she did. It had started days ago, at first with an ever-present ache beneath her breast into full body spasms of bone shattering pain and it went on and no one could help her.
Genkia had said it was phantom pains, mostly due to her closeness of heart with her twin, and that it should go away when either her brother was freed of his torment or killed; Yukina was unsure of which she wanted more at that moment. Her brothers life had always been so unfair and now this!
Unknown to the ice maiden two other felt similar pains though it did not effect them as greatly, both used to the painful abuse to their bodies. They searched high and low, in both ningenkai and Makai for the small demon as two days and nights passed and the day of their friends birth arrived before they knew it and the pain that riddled them became worse. It seared their bones, and cramped their muscles to the point that walking or lifting but a finger hurt to the point of tears.
"We have to find him!" Yusuke shouted over the throbbing sound in his ears as Kurama let out a very animalistic whimper, curling in on himself on the bed he and Hiei had shared with Yusuke the last few weeks. "I know, I just…when the pain stops we…and we can move," he whispered tears forming at the pain and he briefly wondered if it was worse for the little Forbidden. Deciding it probably was he rolled over an allowed himself to hit the floor before forcing himself into an up right position.
Just as Yusuke followed his lead Kuwabara barged into the room, Botan floating behind him a frantic light in her eyes "We've found him!"
--
Hiei curled up in the cold corner of the cave he had been dumped in several hours before this torment had begun, his body growing, stretching, his every muscle aching with the strain. His bones burned as they grew, too fast for his body to fight the pain and he let out a pitiful shriek of agony as his limbs lengthened several inches his torso burning with pain as it two elongated.
Sobbing as tears streaked down his checks and hiruiseki hit the stone floor beneath him the small demon failed to notice the four that entered the cave, two of which were hugging themselves as tears slid down pail faces already etched with agony. He was starved and his ki levels drastically low as he curled as far into himself as he could, hoping make himself the smallest target he could should someone find him.
Mayhap they thought I would die…he thought bitting back a sob as his body throbbed with pain, unable to hear the rushed foot steps over the rush of blood, the thud of his pulse in his head. Not noticing the group that found their way deep into the cave, and upon him until one of them reached out and touched him. Shrieking he jerked away his large eyes taking up most of his elvish face, dilated pupils franticly trying to see those touching him, "Hiei, Hiei its me, its us! Kurama!" a distant voice called desperately and instinctively recognising the safety the other presented he leaned over sniffing the red head that knelt beside him.
Safe.
Home.
Darkness over took him, and he allowed it to take away all his pain as he was scooped up into the others arms, another set, just as hauntingly familiar wrapping around them, cradling him between to strong chests. "Thank you…"
SOOOOOO SORRY FOR THA WAIT AND THE SHORTNESS!
