#26: Sleepwalking
"Um...shouldn't foxboy still be out cold?" Hiei, Genkai, and Kuwabarra all looked up from their separate activities at the young detective who had voiced his concern. "What do you mean, Urameshi? He hasn't made a sound..."
"No..." Yusuke said cautiously, "but I just saw him walk down the hall? Looks like he's going outside." At this, Hiei's eyes widened and he stood stiffly, taking long steps toward the window. "Damn fox," he muttered. The others watched, baffled, as Hiei wrapped his arms around Kurama's chest and pulled him back inside, whispering and gently turning the nearly-limp fox in the right direction. "Come on," he urged, "Bed. Let's go back to bed okay?"
"But I haven't found him yet," Kurama mumbled, tipping his head. As he did so, the other occupants noticed how the kitsune's eyes were still closed.
"He's...still asleep," Kuwabarra whispered, "Jeez. Never seen him do that before."
"That's ok, I found him," Hiei responded to his lover's inquiry, "he's okay now. So you can go back to bed now, right?" "Yes," he sighed, "thank you, Hiei. I was so worried...I needed to get my book back..." Now he was more easily led, "No problem. I have the books. Let's go back sleep."
A few more mumbled words later, the door to Kurama and Hiei's room slid shut and the petite demon back, completely calm, and took his former seat like nothing had happened.
"So," Yusuke snickered, "Foxboy sleepwalks, huh? Never would have pictured that."
"Ha," Hiei snorted sarcastically, picking up the book he'd tossed aside, "just be glad he was wearing clothes this time.."
