This is the shortest chapter ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Not like the others aren't) I'm just a lazy ass, sorry readers. I'll to my best to bring up a chapter as soon as possible. Thank you to all the reviewers.

Oh yes I wanted to comment about the fact that I stated that this story contained Yaoi. I was extremely stupid when I did that. Because this story contains shonen-ai, not Yaoi. Sorry people I'm not writing Yaoi yet. (BUT I WILL SOON! BUA HA HA!) I seriously think im becoming stupider with every chapter I write. So anyways, this story contains shonen-ai (maybe Yaoi in sooner chapters, but I really don't know)

Disclaimers: Does. Not. Care.

Embracing The Ice Knife

Reluctant Consent

The day had become night to quickly. Kurama Kuwabara and Yusuke where looking around

apprehensively, waiting for a sign of an assault. Hiei just had his hands in his pockets, with a look of indifference.

The fact that there where no stars didn't help any either, the night was mercilessly dark. Even for their abilities they where not able to detect any youki nor rekei, for there was none. These demons where either extremely crafty, or rather foolish.

A noise sounded through the shrubbery at the right of them, Kurama hastily brushed his hand against his hair and extracted a rose. He heard the noise once again and flared his youki, transforming the rose into the rose whip, and in the process driving it into the location in which the noise was last heard. By the sound of it, Kurama had missed his target, but Kurama just smiled slyly and gracefully flicked his wrist, sending the rose whip in the complete opposite direction of the spot Kurama had just hit. A cry was heard and the sound of a body falling limply to the ground.

"One down, three two go." Kurama said advancing towards the place where the body had fallen. He carelessly crouched down and inspected the dead body. It was a male, a beast demon, brown fur covered the creature, its hands exposed long cruel claws and in its mouth sharp teeth. Kuramas body position had not changed but his eyes where looking towards the left of him, as suspected another demon appeared out of the shrubbery leaping into the air and coming down on him quickly, it raised its hand above its head. Four daggers where arranged amongst its fingers, obviously believing he had caught Kurama off guard, he prepared to hurl the daggers at him.

Kurama once more smiled and jumped backwards, at the same time he lashed at the demon. He landed easily on the ground, and the demon quite oppositely. Hiei smirked, Kurama was so skilled at manipulating it was amusing.

"How 'bout you stop hogging all of them and give us a chance." Yusuke stated to Kurama, a smirk fixed on his face as well.

Kurama smiled and shrugged. "Alright, alright." Kuramas poise was casual but his eyes where on guard.

Yusuke cracked his knuckles and surveyed the scene, waiting for anything to move. A new noise was heard towards the direction of where Hiei was currently standing at. Suddenly another demon appeared directly above Hiei and another to the left of him. Yusuke barely caught the smirk Hiei's face produced for it was soon clouded in a black flash. The startled demon that was above Hiei gave a growl and landed promptly on the ground. The other demon that was charging at Hiei on the ground had also stopped, a look of sheer dismay was on its face.

The sky above them ignited in light and soon after thunder shook the air. Rain drops where pelted at the figures currently engaged in battle, soaking them until their garments stuck to there skin The two intruding demons where clearly afraid seeing as there plan to kill Hiei had failed miserably. A snort sounded behind them and both wheeled around simultaneously. Hiei stepped out of the already dark shadows with a wicked smirk plastered on his face. The intimidation emitting from Hiei obviously worked, for the demons reached shaky hands towards their katanas. Once withdrawn they took a hesitant step towards Hiei, then another, then they charged. With a swift reach towards his katana, Hiei struck both of the demons. Both bodies fell to the ground, blood erupted everywhere, drenching Hiei. It was truly a sight to behold, Hiei already soaked of water had further extended the weight on his clothes with the new spilled blood. Hiei was staring down at himself distastefully.

Yusuke's mouth was twitching, and soon the atmosphere was engulfed in laughter. Yusuke was leaning forward with his hands on his knees, giving him support. Kuwabara was clutching his abdomen, laughter paining his ribs. And Kurama placed a hand to his mouth in order to muffle his laughter not wanting to anger the already displeased fire demon. Hiei shot glares at each of them and turned to leave, but stopped as he felt someone touch his shoulder. Hiei turned around quite fiercely, almost knocking down the person who had tapped him on the shoulder. It was Kurama, still with a hand to his mouth, trying as hard as humanly possible to restrain his laugher.

"What the hell do you want?" It was more of a command than a question.

Kurama had managed to stop laughing, but was panting heavily. "I was just thinking, that you should probably come to my house. Since your drenched in blood, I thought you'd probably like to dry off." Kurama had stopped breathing hard and was smiling.

Hiei rolled his eyes.

Yusuke smiled. "You wouldn't want to catch a cold would you?"

Hiei scowled. "Demons do not obtain illnesses, we are not as weak as you humans."

"Hey! I resent that shorty!" Kuwabara called to Hiei.

"I'm sure you do." Said Hiei dryly

Hiei felt Kurama snatch his arm and pull him towards the direction of his home. "You are coming over whether you like it or not." Said Kurama firmly.

Hiei pulled out of Kuramas grasp. Kurama opened his mouth in protest but stopped as he saw Hiei walking towards his home. Kurama smiled, turned to Kuwabara and Yusuke waved a quick goodbye and strode over to Hiei who was already quite a distance from them.

Yusuke smiled thoughtfully and turned towards the direction of his home. "Lets go Kuwabara."
