Yusuke and Kurama waited outside the room as Yukina tried to save the dying fire demon inside with her. The door to the room remained shut, no sounds penetrating the door. The two spirit detectives had been waiting for hours
now, no word from Yukina as to whether or not Hiei would recover.

It was deathly silent, and it was driving Yusuke mad. He stood finally, pacing up and down the floor, his head bowed forward, a frown plastered to
his face. Kurama, however, remained seated, his red bangs shadowing his face. He let out a sigh. Looking up and watching Yusuke pace for a moment before breaking the uncomfortable silence. "Yukina's been in there for some
time, Yusuke..do you think we should.go in?"
Yusukes pacing stopped and he looked towards the youko, "I..guess it
couldn't hurt.." he murmered. "Yeah, lets check.."

Kurama stood, he and Yusuke strode towards the door, both terrified of the
fact that they could possibly find that Yukina could not save hiei.

Kurama reached out, turning the door knob and cautiously pushing the door
open with a creak. Gasping slightly at the sight before him.

Yukina sat in a corner of the room, sobbing, her pale face buried in her hands. Kurama rushed to her, momentarily forgetting about Hiei and trying
to get her to calm down so she could speak clearly.

Yusuke on the other hand, had not forgotten about Hiei. He bit his lip, going towards the futon where Hiei's prone figure layed. The fire youkai was still.far too still for Yusuke's liking, he swallowed, reaching a hand
out to turn Hiei onto his back.

"He's d-dead.." Yukina stammered finally, causing both Kurama and Yusuke to
freeze.

"..Dead..?" Kurama asked in a low, quiet voice, his emerald eyes gone wide.

Yusuke pulled his hand back, stumbling backwards from the bed, leanging against the wall behind him, his eyes wide like Kurama's. "H-he can't be, d-
dead."

A sorrowful sniffle escaped Yukina. "he is.I've checked.m-more than once.." she ruefully assured him, burying her face in her hands again as she once
more began sobbing.

Dead silence filled the room again. It was true, Hiei was dead.
