Well it was officially requested. "Blah" wanted to know what shit goes down in this chapter, so here it is

11. Difficulties Caused by the Moon

Kurama sat outside, again on top of the whomping willow. He stared at the sky, it was starting to get dark. It wasn't long before Hiei appeared next to him. Hiei wrapped his arms around his fox, and whispered in his ear, "what's wrong, Kurama?"

Kurama turned so they were face to face. He planted a small kiss on his love's forehead and simply replied "nothing"

"I can tell something's up, you can tell me, remember" Hiei said, holding his fox tighter. It was then that he noticed his eyes. They were not their usual beautiful emerald color, but they were gold.

"It's a full moon tonight" Kurama replied shortly. "The prime time for hunting is during the full moon, as I'm sure you are aware. The darkness of the night gives you more cover, while the light from the moon gives you just enough to easily spot prey. It makes Youko want to come out, I'm having problems restraining that side of me. In such a magical place, the plants leak magic, making me stronger, but it affects my Youko side far more. I'm not sure how much longer I can stay in this form" Kurama explained.

"Then let it out" Hiei said simply. "Go into the forest, hunt like you must. I'm sure nothing in there can come close to your S class levels, but I'll go with you just to be sure"

"No love," he replied, placing this time a more forceful kiss on his lover's lips. "I think I should be alone tonight. Don't worry, if anything happens, if I am injured, I'm sure you will sense it. But like you said, I doubt any creature in there is strong enough to harm me" He said with a grin. Hiei nodded to show he understood. Kurama stood, as always showing off his grace and balance. Hiei looked at him curiously, and Kurama answered his unspoken question. "I must go now, before sitting with you for too long causes me to be over taken by lust" He said with a mischievous smile and a wink. He kissed his lover goodbye, and they parted ways. Hiei sulked back to the Gryffindor tower, alone, while Kurama excitedly sprung off into the forbidden forest, reverting to Youko as soon as he was out of site. 'it's good to be free…' he thought. 'now, what to do first' he grinned to himself.

Much to his disappointment, Hiei had fallen asleep that night. He meant to stay awake, with his third eye on his fox, just to be safe, but sleep over took him. He didn't sense Kurama's energy in the room. He sprung out of bed, and checked Kurama's own, just to be sure. He wasn't there. He practically flew down the stairs to the common room, but he wasn't there either. Hiei was nervous, what if something had happened to his fox? They had only brought this relationship to this level for such a short time, he can't be gone now. He ran at the most human speed he could to the great hall, hoping the fox was simply eating breakfast, but he wasn't.

"Hey Hiei!" Hermione greeted cheerfully. Looking at his face, he could tell he was not in the mood.

"Have you seen Shuiichi?" He asked, trying his best to stay calm and be polite.

"No, not today" she answered. Harry and Ron shook their heads to show they hadn't seen him either. Hiei looked like he was going to explode. "Maybe he already went to class" she said hastily, trying to calm the demon. Without a word, he left and walked up to the teachers table.

"Yukina…You haven't seen Kurama, have you? I can't even sense him" Hiei said nervously. Instantly, Yukina looked worried.

"No I haven't…I can help you look if you'd like" she replied.

"No, that wont be necessary. If my jagan can't find him…" He trailed off. Seeing the fear in his sister's eyes he quickly added "he must be pretty far. He'll show up" just to make her feel better. Too bad no one was there to make him feel better.

"Hiei, we have care of magical creatures next! C'mon!" Harry called out. Reluctantly, Hiei followed the trio, but was on full alert for any sign of his fox. They arrived at Hagrid's hut, and as always, he waited for the whole class to get there before he began.

"Now, today we gotta be extra quiet. I found this fella, and he's hurt. I'm nursing him back to health, but I thought I would show him to ya" He said, as he pulled out another cage, covered in another cloth. This one was much bigger then the last. He pulled the cloth off to reveal none other than a very injured but bandaged, sleeping Kurama, in his fox form.

"KURAMA!" Hiei cried out before he realize he had. He ran over to the cage. Hagrid tried to stop him.

"Don't go near him, he may be hurt but this species of magical fox's are very dangerous"

"Hn, to you, you fool! Kurama would never hurt me!" Hiei was yelling at his professor now. The golden trio glanced nervously at each other, until Harry stepped forward.

"Hagrid's right Hiei, you should stay back…" He said, trying to calm the demon, though in truth he actually had no idea what kind of fox it was or if it really was dangerous, even in such an injured state. Hiei, realizing he was going to get no where without making an even larger scene, ran off to find Genkai, or Yukina, or hell even the old headmaster, anyone who could help him get his fox back.

Everyone was silent for a moment after Hiei's dramatic display, followed by his disappearance. "Er..so as I was saying, this is a VERY rare species of fox. They're very very strong, stealthy, cunning, often greedy. You can come take a closer look if you'd like, just don't wake him, he needs his rest." Hesitantly, most of the class nervously stepped forward. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and surprisingly Draco were the only ones who bravely went as close as allowed to get a better look. Whatever attacked the fox, it did quite a bit of damage. The fox, called Kurama they assumed from Hiei's display, was wrapped up like a mummy, though that could just be Hagrid's poor bandaging abilities.

"You probably noticed this fox has 5 tails. That indicates it's one of the most powerful of it's kind. That goes along with Dumbledore's warning. Whatever in that forest was strong enough to hurt something like this that bad, it could easily kill any of us." Hagrid warned, causing the students be even more terrified. Draco reached forward, putting his arm through the cage to touch the beautiful creature.

"I want him…" He muttered. As soon as Draco touched the fox, it was like it sprung to life. It hopped up to his feet and started growling. However, the sudden, jerky movements caused the fox's bleeding to worsen, and he collapsed again.

"Don't touch him!" Hagrid exclaimed, obviously a bit too late.

"Can I buy him? What do I have to do to own him?" Draco inquired.

"You cant own these kind's of creatures Draco" Hagrid tried to tell him.

"Says you! You have him in captivity right now and I want him!" He whined like a spoiled little brat.

"I'm nursing him back to health, then he's free to go. 10 points from Slytherin for your attitude Draco" Hagrid said, obviously getting quite annoyed. It wasn't long before Hiei returned, Yukina hurrying after him.

"Oh my…" She gasped when she saw the horrible state her friend was in. She hurried past the grounds keeper and opened the cage. Hiei was right by her side, and he carefully lifted his fox.

"By the way, ningen. You cannot own this fox. He is not for sale, you cannot take him, he will never be yours. If he was in full health and heard you talking like that, he would rip you to shreds, and don't you dare think for a second he couldn't. If this fox belongs to anyone, it's me." Hiei said aggressively, but mostly protectively over the injured demon fox in his arms. The comment was obviously to Malfoy. How he heard what the blonde haired boy had said, no one was really sure, they didn't see him at the time Draco was speaking. With that, he turned and started walking back towards the castle. Yukina gave a small bow, and apologized for her friend, and turned to follow him. Hiei only made it a few steps, before he felt warm liquid soaking through his clothes. He stopped immediately. Kurama was bleeding badly, and he was bleeding through his bandages, bad.

"Yukina!" He cried out in panic, though she was already almost at his side. He gently laid the fox on the grass, and began undoing his bandages. Yukina and Hiei were crouched over the injured fox, as Hagrid tried to shoo the curious students away. Yukina was in the middle of healing what looked like the worst wound when Hagrid finally got all the students to leave, all but three. I'm sure you know who those three were.

"It looks like…a bomb exploded on his skin" she said sadly. All the wounds were like that, though one near his stomach was by far the worst. "whatever got him, he wasn't in this form when it happened" she whispered to her brother. "He must have reverted to this form to retreat, I could heal him better if he was in his humanoid Youko form but…" she trailed off, glancing at Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid who were all behind her.

"His life is more important than these stupid kids! Kurama, if you can hear me, please transform. Yukina will take care of you, I promise" Hiei said, this time loud enough for the others to hear. Yukina looked at him. He was on the verge of tears. The four standing, gaping behind them didn't realize, but Hiei and Yukina did. If he didn't transform, he couldn't be treated properly. If he couldn't be treated properly, his chances of survival were not in his favor.

Kurama opened one of his eyes, and Hiei let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding. "Kurama, koi, you have to transform into the form you were hurt in. Please." Hiei begged his lover. Kurama looked at him, and closed his beautiful, golden eye again. Hiei couldn't hold it back any longer. He let a tear slide down his cheek. Yukina watched in amazement, shock, bewilderment, all of those words combined times a thousand as his tear rolled off his cheek, and solidified into a perfect, black tear gem. Yukina picked it up, and stared at it for a moment, then at Hiei. She then put it in her pocket

"All of you! Please! Get away for a moment" Yukina cried at the 4 wizards behind her. Awkwardly, not knowing what else to do, they went in Hagrid's hut. She turned back to the injured fox, who was now in his human-like Youko form. Relief washed over them both, mostly Hiei. Yukina gave all she had to heal him the best she could, as Hiei began ripping off pieces of his scarf to use as bandages.

"Ahem" a voice behind them said.

"Are you deaf? We said go away" Hiei snarled. His eyes widened when he saw Harry standing there, arms full of bandages, with Ron and Hermione behind him with buckets of water.

"Um…I know you didn't want us to see…but we thought these could help" Hermione said nervously, as the three quickly went over and placed the items by the demons. She couldn't help but gasp when she saw the bloody figure on the ground in front of them. To her, it looked like a young man, but with silver hair, fox ears and tail. "Is this…" she started.

"Yes this is the same person the Hagrid found injured. His injuries were far worse then they appeared…" Yukina answered sadly before the other girl could finish. The three could only stare in amazement and pity. Yukina made quick use of the materials the trio had brought her. Once Youko was all bandaged up, Hiei picked him up, and followed Yukina to the hospital wing.

"Instead of having a fox demon laying in the middle of the hospital wing, why don't we put him in my room?" Yukina suggested, once they got inside the castle. Hiei nodded, and followed his twin to her room. He carefully laid his fox down on the bed, and sat on the edge next to him. When he thought Yukina wasn't looking, he placed a small kiss on the kitsune's forehead.

"Brother…." Yukina started nervously, causing Hiei to whip around to face her. "Why…why have you never told me? After all these years we've been friends" She asked, on the verge of tears. Hiei was quick to get up, and wiped the tears away before they turned into tear gems. He didn't know what to say, he couldn't even manage his usual "Hn"

Yukina pulled out the black tear gem Hiei had shed earlier, at the sight of his lover and the thought of losing him. Hiei stared at it, he could not look his sister in the eyes. He was ashamed. Yukina took his hands in hers, and placed the tear gem in his palm. In return, Hiei put his hand down the neck of his shirt, and pulled out the tear gem their mother had shed when Yukina was born. He tore it off his head, and carefully placed it over hers, so it now hung around her neck, where it belonged. He pulled out his own as well, letting it sit on the outside of his clothes for the first time in the longest time.

"All my searching…all these years…and you were right here all along" She was having great difficulty holding the tears back now. "Oh brother!" She exclaimed, and pulled him into a hug. A wave of shock washed over him, but it was followed by another wave of relief. He carefully hugged her back. The brother and sister, finally fully reunited, stayed like that for a long time.

I hope you all liked it! I think that was a longer chapter and a lot happened but if anything was confusing don't be shy to ask! As always, the next chapter is done, and Ill sit patiently waiting for someone to request it
