~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Youko Kurama turned his head at the sound of that deep voice. His son belonged to him? Did that mean that this was his sons mate? Golden eyes surveyed the new demon. No it was not love shining in the others eyes. Just possession. Hmm simple as that may seem it did not mean that this demon was not his sons lover. Kurama then made vines shoot out and hold the younger Youko against the tree.

" This child is yours?" Kurama asked him." Seems to me that he belongs to me."

Yellow slimy eyes stared back at the Youko. These eyes reminded Kurama of the time back in grammar school when they visited Tokyo zoo. They were the eyes of a snake. They sent chills up his spine. But after living as long as he had he has come across eyes like them before. While he had chills on the inside. His outer exterior only had the cold deadly look of the legendary bandit. No emotions were shown. Kurama put a finger under his chin and looked at the demon waiting for answer.

" Master please!!! I am truly sorry just don't hurt my father. Master!!" Begged the helpless Youko.

Hearing this Kurama raised one silver eyebrow. Master, ne? So that is their relationship. Understanding the demon ways back in the Makai he knew of only one way to grant his son his freedom. Kurama had lots of questions. He just hoped he got the chance to ask his offspring. A small smile graced his lips.

" You own him?" Kurama said.

" Yes does that bother the king of thieves that I have his son? Hahaha!! Youko He is mine and a great fuck he is!!" Roared the demon.

Hiei glared at the demon. But he took note of his lovers body langue and didn't move. But he was ready if Kurama needed his help. No one would hurt his fox. Not while he was alive that is.

" Then I offer you a fight for him. I win I get to keep him. Oh and if I lose you get to keep me?" Kurama offered him.

Hiei's eyes grew large. But only for a minute. What was his crazy fox up to now? Would he truly risk his life for a child he just meet? Then again they had a strong bond. A blood bond. Hiei knew he would do the same if he found out he had a child. But for that to happen He would have to cheat on the kitsune and that would never happen. Hiei was loyal to his friends. Even more so to the two he loved.

`" Interesting. I take you up on it." The demon said.

" Kurama have you lost your mind?" Yusuke yelled out.

" Yusuke stand back and let me handle it." Kurama said never moving his eyes from his opponents.

Then in a flash the two attacked one another. No rather the demon Toranu attacked while Youko dodged the blows. Silver hair flew in the wind. His tail moving side to side in a excited way. His ears were standing straight up for any sounds. Kurama was not yet breaking a sweat.

Kurama's son watched in fear. He knew his master was only toying with the Youko. His master was very powerful. He did not wish for his fathers death. Not since he had just meet the famous Youko. He silently prayed to Inari for his Fathers safety.

Hiei followed their movements closely. He would jump in if he was needed. He could tell that Kurama was still trying to find his opponents strength and weakness. The fox loved to do this in a fight. It made the fire demon made each time. That Baka fox would never listen to Hiei when he told him that to kill fast was best. Hiei had faith in Kurama that he would kill him.

Yusuke watched his friend. If Kurama was knocked out he would send that Demon to hell. No one messed with his team. His friends were as close as family to him. Even Hiei. Brown eyes followed closely. He did not understand why Kurama was [putting himself in danger. All for a son he just meet. He could not help but glance at the Youko. Still tied to the tree. Golden eyes watched din a silent scared freighted glance. This made Him think that maybe the kid was worth it after all.

Kuwabara had broken free from his grass ropes and stared at Kurama. EH did not understand what Kurama was doing. What did it matter if the other Youko got taken back by this new demon? As long as they got the jewel he did not get it. He walked over to Yusuke.

" Why is Kurama putting himself in danger like that? He could get killed." Kuwabara asked.

" Shut up!" Hiei said turning his head and giving his I-will-chop-you-in-many-pieces look.

Yusuke hearing this and knowing what could happen said" Lets not fight kids Kurama might need our help."

" I am done with you Kurama you now shall die." The demon said.

Kurama gave him a cold glare.

Then the demon ran towards Kurama. Kurama moved to flip backwards only to run into a ball of youki. It shot through him and broke his right leg. Four move energy balls went towards the Youko. Kurama had no chance to move. They hit his other leg, both arms. And lastly his chest. Kurama fell to the ground. Soon Youko was gone replaced by Shuichi.

Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei called out the Youko's name. Fear filled their hearts as they watched their friend fall. Hiei withdrew his Katana intent on killing the demon. Before the demon got a chance to move he was sliced forty- eight times. Then for good measure for hurting his fox Hiei set the demon on fire. His screams of pain filled the air as he was slowly devoured.

The younger Youko was free from his prison. He ran towards his father. He could tell his father was dying. HE wanted to stop this from happening. As he neared his fathers body a short black haired demon picked him up. HE then saw the other two run towards him.

" Kurama don't leave me!" Hiei said fighting tears back.

Yusuke saw this and Then left to get Yukina. They were not that far from Genki's. He ran as fast as he could. Once their he asked Yukina to come with him. He carried her as he ran back.

Hiei rocked back and forth cradling his lover. He had just found Him and started their new relationship. Kurama could not leave him. Tear gems fell but the Half Koorime did not notice them. His heart ached over it.

" Kurama….Please don't….I love you…Please fox."

Kurama opened his eyes. Life was draining from them. Tears chocked up in Hiei's throat when he saw them.

" I am sorry Hiei. I love you." He whispered closing his eyes once again.

The Youko was now kneeling next to his father and his lover. He then sent some of his Youki to his father to keep him alive longer. It was all he could think of.

Botan appeared and started to heal Kurama. Her eyes had tears flowing down. She did not want to lose a Friend. Her heart ached for the fallen Fox. Now with her healing and The Youko giving up some life energy Kurama was slowly recovering. Botan could not heal him rest the way. She fell back after ten minutes. Yusuke appeared with a frightened Yukina who went right to work on helping her dear friend.

Hiei had not let go of Kurama the whole time. All he did was stare at the face he loved. He hoped that his boyfriend would heal and be alright. But who would hear the hopes and dreams of a forbidden child.

Soon after Yukina finished what Botan started everyone watched for signs of life. No one said a word. Kuwabara held Yukina close to him. While Yusuke sat next to the New Youko and Botan.
