Kurama smirked. "We're all going to die, eventually, cherry blossom-chan." The smirk fell. "But, Hiei…Well, his life was against the odds the moment he was born. Every second, of every day, is life or death for him…So, of course Lena enjoys his company."
Sakura just stared at him, and suddenly, it occurred to her that she knew next to nothing about either Hiei or Kurama, save for some useless tidbits they had let drop. Kurama seemed to recognize the look she had, and his eyes flashed golden. "That's right, cherry blossom-chan." he said in that odd voice that was both his and someone else's. "There are people out there who've had hardships you've never dreamed of."
