Hooray! I have 18 reviews, last time I checked. Well the next chapter is up, obviously. I have my computer cables back! It will make every thing much more simpler. Okay, first I'm going to say that the angst will not be up for a while. So hold your horses. And second my comrades and I have decided to fuse an account and post co-fics. So If you wish go and read them, or should I say read it. The account is The Dark The Fox and The Bitch. Yes, yes tacky I know, but whatever. But I warn you … If you love Kurama and Hiei to death, as I do, do not read. Not for the weak hearted or for the feeble minded. Yes, On with the fic.

This story has Yaoi. If you don't like Yaoi, leave this place.

Dislcamers: I don't belive we have to do this, but I suppose its some kind of tradition. I have no idea. Well Yu Yu Hakusho does no belong to me. Damn it all.

Embracing The Ice Knife

Peaceful Moments, An Attack From Behind.

When they arrived at the Rekai they found Koenma sucking furiously on his pacifier. They each took a seat and waited for Koenma to address them.

Kurama felt a familiar youki enter the room… Hiei.

"Terrible, absolutely terrible." Stated Koenma. "Two buildings destroyed, eight witnesses and three injured."

"Please elaborate Koenma." Kurama requested.

"This morning approximately around eight fifteen, four demons entered Ningenkai, in less than eight hours they damaged two buildings, where eight people where there to witness it all, and three people where injured during chaos. What's even more frustrating is that they where low level demons." Koenma informed.

"What? How the hell where low level demons able to enter Ningenkai with all the energy barriers we put up! Not even class-A demons could have crossed over. And they ran around town without us detecting them?" Said an indignant Yusuke.

"I don't know Yusuke that's your job." Said Koenma dryly. "Kurama will you be able to make one of your plant concoctions in order to erase the witnesses memories?"

Kurama nodded and took the folder that Koenma was extending out to him.

"This file contains references to the eight people, names, addresses and other information is contained in there." Said Koenma.

Kurama nodded once more.

"Fine, fine, sheesh." Yusuke stood up and waved a hand to the door. "Lets go then."

"Oi, Uremeshi, where's the shrimp?" Said Kuwabara. Kuwabara felt something tapping his shoulder, he turned around and Kurama was there pointing a finger towards the window.

There was Hiei staring at Kuwabara as if he where something unpleasant that had been found at the bottom of his shoe.

Kurama sensing that Hiei was about to make a crude remark. Waved his arms at his sides to draw attention to himself. "Lets go shall we?" Kurama almost pleaded.

Hiei stared at Kuwabara a bit more and finally stood up to follow Kurama and the others out of the room.

They had walked around town for over an hour. No sign of anything unusual had made its presence.

Kurama sighed " I say we split up, I will go and erase the peoples memories, and the rest of you can go search for the demons."

Yusuke nodded and turned to go in the opposite direction. "Ok lets go guys."

"No thanks, I don't think I can continue if I have to hear your moronic rambling any longer." Hiei said curtly.

"Watch it you little bast-" Kuwabara was cut off as Kurama took hold of Hiei's shoulders and steered him away from the fuming Kuwabara.

"Ok! Bye Yusuke! Bye Kuwabara! Well meet at the park in four hours!" Kurama said behind his back.

"You can never resist tormenting those two can you?" Kurama quirked an eyebrow.

Hiei smirked "And you can never stop standing up for them."

Kurama laughed to himself. They walked in quiet companionship, the red sun casting sunlight on the path way they where taking. After a while, Kurama looked at the papers in his hand. He looked up to the street sign. "Where at the first witnesses house. Now how do you suppose we do this?" Kurama looked down to the fire youkai

Hiei arched an eyebrow. "That is your problem not mine."

Kurama playfully mimicked the fire demon. "Fine then." Kurama placed a hand to his chin and thought about how he could he could get to them without having to invert any attention to himself. Hiei looked at the thoughtful fox. What could he be up to?

"Lets see… I could pretend to sell something… Wait that wont work… I could-" Kurama was mumbling to himself.

Hiei in complete agitation grabbed the foxes hand, using his Jagan he found the exact door they where headed to. "Give me the concoction." He said bluntly.

Kurama was quite ruffled. He reached towards his hair and picked out a seed. He gripped the seed and emitted a little youki. Through the cracks in his hands a few stems made their way out into the sunlight. Kurama dug into his pockets and pulled out a small bottle. He urged the plant into the bottle and this it did happily. Once inside Kurama closed the lid. Again Kurama emitted some youki. The plant disintegrated and a purple fog was visible in the bottle.

Kurama eyed Hiei. "When you are in the presence of the correct person, unscrew the lid, whatever you do don't breathe this unless you want to forget all you've done for over a week. Once the person inhales it the person will be in a daze for a bit, that is when you escape. Anything to complicated?" Kurama teased the enough vexed Hiei.

"Of course not." Hiei said through gritted teeth.

"Ill wait here." Kurama sat on the bench, It rested across of the location Hiei was about to invade.

Hiei nodded and flitted away towards his destination. After a couple of minutes Hiei appeared out of no where. Kurama stood. "Did everything go well?" Hiei just nodded once more.

Since Hiei was doing all of the work every thing went much faster. They finished with about an hour and a half to spare. Since there was no hurry the two decided to walk off aimlessly into the park. Yusuke and Kuwabara had surely taken care of the demons by then.

It was growing dark. The once blood red sky turned cerulean emitted traces of stars. A gentle breeze made Kuramas crimson locks hover in the air creating soft ripples. Hiei stole glances at Kurama. Feeling content Hiei sighed heavily , he closed his eyes as well, letting his feet take him wherever they lead him. Kurama mistaking this for a sign of concern opened his eyes and looked down towards the small youkai. "Anything the matter?"

Hiei formed what seemed to be a mixture of a smile and smirk. "Nothing."

Kurama shrugged and closed his eyes again. Letting the wind have its way with his hair. Letting the fragrance of the trees and flowers taking him into a state of peaceful ecstasy. He sighed once more and smiled. If only he could stay like this for a while longer. Not having to worry about troublesome nightmares, nor his ill brother. Just like this…Walking amongst the flora and hierarchy… Walking with the only creature that had ever tamed his Youko soul. He laughed inwardly. When had he realized that he had fallen for the jaganashi? He laughed inwardly once more. Of course he had always had something that nagged him in the back of his mind. Always showing its pestering presence whenever he stole a glance at the passive demon, always there when Hiei gave him a slight smile just for him.

He knew the peace wouldn't last long. He knew it would be disturbed from some absurd mission or dangerous situation. But he still held dear these silent walks. Those rare moments when Hiei would show some evidence of emotion through that cold demon hear of his.

If only… If only.

As he had foretold the peace was indeed disturbed.

"Hey Kurama! Hiei!" Kurama and Hiei, obviously agitated that the moments peace had been unsettled, turned heads to Yusuke. Kuwabara trailing behind him.

"Damn it all! We found no damn trace of those demons!" Hiei snorted at Yusuke.

"I suppose I was wrong, I should have gone with you. You cant even handle a few low level demons."

Yusuke obviously not rustled at Hiei's comment turned towards Kurama. "There was no trace, none whatsoever… How the hell would they be able to do that?"

Kurama tensed. His Youko, or animal, instincts made him jolt to the left. The others seeing Kuramas sudden movement put up a defensive position. Where Kurama had been standing lay a few daggers where they had penetrated the cement. Hiei cursed under his breath.
