Disclaimer: I don't own anything that isn't mine, so YYH and PBK plot are not my doing.

I have some REALLY good ideas for later...but it is for LATER! PS: To the Kiyoshi-neko in my reviews, I just randomly picked a name in Japanese from a baby name book that was lying around.

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

Hiei waited patiently outside Kurama's little house. His short stature sat upon a stump. He had his arms crossed, waiting. There was no moon out that night, so his face was only a mix of shadows.

His breath came out in puffs of white steam; it was unusually cold that night. He shifted his position and stared at the Kurama's house door. It creaked open.

The red-head peeked out and looked around. He came out and shut the door behind him.

"Hiei? Hiei? Where are you?" he whispered, looking around. The prince snorted. "Can't you see me or not?"

The kitsune turned around to face Hiei. "Where?"

"Down here!" he snapped. Kurama looked down. The prince was..how to say.....short. He held his hand to his face, stifling his laughter. Hiei stood up. At least, he was taller than before.

"What's so funny?" he said, crossing his arms.

"Oh, nothing," Kurama said smiling. Hiei gave him a confusing look, not seen by Kurama, because it was too dark. Hiei smirked a little.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yuro giggled madly, and stepped down on to the floor of the wood. "Yuro change! Yuro change!" he squeaked, as a purple smoke swirled around him.

In the doll-sized imp's place, was a short kitsune. He had short brown hair and big purple eyes. His little figure was covered in a bandit tunic. His white ears and tail had gold bands around them.

Yuro sniggered his child voice. He reached into his little pocket and pulled out a small bottle with a dull flame in it. "Yuro make light!" he said, tiptoeing towards the two men standing next to each other.

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

Kurama smelt something. He sniffed the air. A faint smell of something foul lingered. Hiei couldn't smell it, but he felt some ki around the edge of the woods.

"What do you think it is?" Kurama asked, Hiei shushed him with a gesture and unsheathed his katana. He pulled down his white bandana a little and looked around with his jagan.

A flicker of shadow was what he saw. He tightened his grip and yelled in his deep voice, "Come out! Or I'll come after you!"

"Mew?" asked a little voice. A little fox bounded up to them, and jumped into Kurama's arms. "Nywae," Kurama said, holding the kit up. She licked his face like a puppy. Kurama put her down. She turned into her human form and pawed Kurama's leg with her little hand. Kurama kneeled down.

"What is it?" he asked, Nywae pointed to the edge of the wood and did one of her imitations, this time, of a giggling madman. Kurama tilted his head and pointed where she was pointing, "Over there?"

"Mew, mew," nodded the kit. Hiei stood stock still, something was moving. Nywae hissed and ran onto the stump, pulling herself up, with some difficulty; she finally jumped on the surface. She mewed loudly and hissed again.

"What's-a the kit-a hissing about?" asked the figure, a little kitsune with large purple eyes trotted out of the forest. His hat slightly crooked, his ear poking out of one hole, the other coming from under the hat. The large red feather swayed in the breeze.

"Mewy! Hsss!" growled the gold kitsune, she threatened the boy with a blade of grass she picked up. He laughed and said, "She got spunk-a! Hicha! I'm Y- .Yuo! Yes, I'm Yuo!" said the boy, holding his hand out.

Kurama looked oddly at the boy, he turned his head to see Hiei gone. The Youko turned back to the boy and said, "Nice to meet you..Yuo."

"Yuo" smirked toothily and said, "I got-a something-a for a Ku-Kurama!"

"I'm Kurama, what do you have for me?"

The disguised Yuro smiled widely and thought, 'Kitsune unaware! Yuro sly, Yuro the Trickster!'

"THIS!" he yelled shoving his elbow into Kurama's stomach. He fell back, coughing. Yuro started to punch him repeatedly. Nywae screeched and threw the blade of grass at the big-eyed freak. It somehow turned into a large leaf-blade and sliced him on the back, but it was weak, drawing little blood.

Yuro turned around in a millisecond and hit little Nywae, she went flying into the dirt. The young kit mewed loudly and took off towards a ki she felt.

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

Hiei only felt the back of his head being hit by something soft. He turned around on the branch he sat on to see Nywae ready to slap him with her little pink hand again.

"Kuku 'n touble!" she said. Hiei blinked, how did she know where he was?

"Kuku hurt! Bigy-eye kitsu owie Kuku!" she said frantically.

"You mean Kurama?" he asked, not understanding her toddlerish kitsune language.

"Kuku, itai! Kuku need 'elpy!" she said, tugging on Hiei's cloak, she had such strength for such a tiny thing. She pulled the fire demon off the branch. Hiei picked her up in his arms, and flitted off towards Kurama.

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

Yuro was in a tense fight with the red-head kitsune. Kurama had gotten loose with many bruises. Before he could do much, Yuro changed forms into a fast imp creature.

Since he was at the A level, he was pretty strong. Yuro danced around the armed Kurama, hurling profanities.

"Kuku!! Me 'ought Shad-shad!" yelled Nywae, still in Hiei's arms. The koorime jumped form the tree, and dropped Nywae, who had turned back into a fox. She was snarling and yipping at the demon hurting "Kuku".

"Hiei!" yelled Kurama, as the piercing blade of the imp slashed his arm. Hiei flitted up to the imp. Yuro was taken b surprise by the demon, and flew into a tree by Hiei's punch.

Yuro corrected his jaw and said, "Yuro happy! Revealing Light Flame!" he snorted pulling out the dull flame in a bottle.

It went from a dull black flame, into a roaring yellow light that engulfed everyone. Hiei covered his eyes from the blinding light. He also hid his face with his arm. Kurama winced and tried to get up, but Yuro was too fast.

The imp came running up to the struggling kitsune and stabbed him in the shoulder with his rapier. "DIE KITSUNE DIE!!"

Kurama hollered in pain, as the blade sank deeper and deeper into hiss left shoulder.

Fwashing! *a glimmer of blade* *a vicious snarl* RRIIIPPP!!!!

Yuro went running away, as fast has he could, both of his wings nothing but bloody stumps. Nywae held in her mouth one of his wings, ripping and tearing it. Hiei held his bloody katana out, the wing twitching below it. The flame bottle was destroyed; it lay shattered on the ground.

Hiei and Nywae knelt over the trembling red-head. Nywae whimpered and nudged the red-head with her little snout. Hiei sighed, and grasped the rapier he held with both hands.

"H-hiei.."

"This going to hurt.." The kitsune grasped Hiei's arm with his clawed hand. Hiei pulled the rapier out. Kurama's cry of pain echoed through the valley...
