Warning: Slightly AU
Once again my beta-reader and I have had trouble beta-ing this chapter but I snuck into her homeroom class and stole a computer where we proceeded to beta it. I think I'm going to have her beta the last chapter because that was all eww. I have been having a bit of writers block lately. I can cure this with a bit of writers block meds. Sorry for the late-ness again, and that one-shot I've been doing has no chance of being posted until I remember to bring my USB drive to school for Sophia. On to beta the next one. Hopefully I will have one posted this Sunday.

Blink
A human lifetime was but a blink of time when compared to that of a demon's. Kurama, after his initial death, was forced to combine his soul with that of a human fetus. Kurama had made a point of telling Hiei that at 10 years of age, he had planned to break away from his weak human shell and recover his demon form, but that even the best plans don't always work. To Hiei, it was painfully obvious that if he stayed in his human form too long his body could, once again, die.
When Hiei had brought this up once, Kurama had chuckled.
"Inserting my soul into this body was a gamble to begin with, there were no guarantees. But once mother passes away, I may go back to demon world."
"You are a fool; you know that? To let some human woman control your life..." Hiei scoffed. Kurama had only smiled.
Hiei didn't welcome thoughts of Kurama's potential death, and still the thoughts crept over him. It pained him in a way that, frankly, scared him. He didn't want this feeling; he was above this. He could fight it.
Maybe if he cut out his heart….
