A/N: This is an Epilogue. Thus the title of the Chapter. This is absolutely pure fluff/sap/yaoi sugary goodness!

Kurama's POV

That was three years ago.

Thank god Yukina is such a skilled healer, and for Hiei's fighting spirit. I also like to think my little kiss helped him pull through as well.

That first kiss turned out to be the first of many.

Now there are welcome-home kisses, hello kisses, good-morning kisses, good afternoon kisses, and all other kisses in between. But never any good-bye kisses. Sure, there are see-you-latter kisses, see-you-once-I-wake-up kisses, and a few rare see-you-in-a-few-days kisses a plenty.

But never good-bye. Neither of us can stand to think about that for even a second. Instead, we make use of those precious seconds, expressing our love in every possible fashion.

Instead of worrying about the future, we focus on today, making every moment last, as if we could preserve these moments for an eternity.

This moment, in particular, I'd like to remember always. Hiei is sleeping next to me, his soft body curled against mine under the single sheet. Some might think he looks angelic when he sleeps. I disagree. Because angels are dead. And Hiei is very much alive. Thanks to whatever miracle that was performed that bloody night of tears.

Yet without the initial disaster, I don't know if we ever would have ended up like this. That doesn't mean I ever want to take that chance again. But I do. For Hiei's sake.

Fighting is part of who Hiei is. I could never take that away from him. Someday I hope he'll stop the bloodshed, but then, as Hiei says, I'd go crazy with worry worrying about what to worry about.

Hiei said if he died now, he'd die happy. I don't plan to ever give him the chance to prove it. Not even in a thousand years will I be ready to leave my darling. It bothers me to know I won't have much say in the matter.

But this time, I'll make sure I get my good-bye kiss.

A/N: Holy crap! I wrote angst. This is scary… blame the evil songs! I listened to:

"Still holding out for you" By She Daisy

"Punishment" by She Daisy ( is there a theme here?)

"Eyes on me" From the Final Fantasy Fandom (don't know who the artist is)

"This I promise you" by… *sobs * yes! I like NSync! So sue me!

Anyways, please tell me if this was good, bad, horrible, or just plain * insert adjective of choice here*. Also, tell me if I'm a better Humor or Angst writer please.
