Diclaimer: Don't own it.
HAPPY?! I got of my lazy ass and updated!
******
Kurama looked behind him, the castle of Ice was far from site, and the night was creeping slowly in. He smiled. He knew the twins were in safe hands, Hiei and his sister were both going to watch them. But the pain of losing Hikama still dawned on him.
He decided to go back home for a visit. He missed Nywae and Dante, even though he was more worried about the condition of his house after he left.
Kurama walked through the soft green forest when he finally reached his little house in the middle of everything. He heard a familiar laugh and then a small Youko girl was running around a stump, following a frog.
"Nywae!" he said, waving his hand. The girl stopped and her ears pricked up. She looked over the side of the stump and then her face brightened. "KUKU!!!" she screamed jumping over the stump and into his arms. She hugged him wildly. "You're back Kuku!"
~~~
Dante was so happy she made a batch of tasty treats. One of her feats she learned over Kurama's absence.
"So Kurama, I heard that you two had kids," she said, sipping her coffee, Kurama nodded.
"We just had twins, Hiouko and Kurana. And-" he stopped, choking back surfacing tears, "we had one other, Hikama..but he was stolen form us."
Dante gulped and stuttered, "Uh.y-yeah, so sorry about that."
Kurama looked at her suspiciously; did she know something she wasn't telling him?
"Er, I need to get more coffee," she said, scuttling into the kitchen. She sniffed, filling up her mug. 'Jeez, I wish I could tell him, but then all this time would go to waste...' she thought.
Dante was about to turn around when she felt a prick on the back of her neck. Her eyes went blank and hazy, she dropped her mug. A small bug flitted out the window, leaving Dante standing, still conscious.
Kurama heard the crash and came in, "Dante, are you okay?"
The pyro demon snapped out of her "trance" and smiled. "Why, yes, I am fine."
Kurama lifted an eyebrow and helped her clean up the mess, they sat back down at the table. Dante had gained some color back. "Kurama, what is that curse on your friend exactly do?"
"Oh, uh.he changes into a wolf-"
"No, no, if you see him as a human."
"Oh, er.a lot of things."
The pyro demon took out a lighter and started snapping it, "So what would happen if he didn't KNOW you saw him? I mean what he doesn't know can't hurt him right?"
Kurama looked at her intensely. What was up with her? She never acted like this. Dante snapped the lighter again. "I got an idea.."
She grabbed his hand gently and put the lighter in his palm. "Use this, Kurama-kun. When he is sleeping, just light it and sneak a peak. Who will know?"
~~~
Kurama lay on his palace bed, crying freely. He came that morning. Cheerful until he saw hi husband's face.
* "Hiei, I'm back!"
"Kurama..."
"What? What happened?"
"They got the twins."
"Wh..who got the twins?"
"Whoever took Hiouko, I suppose."
".There is something else is there?...."
"Rikonomi destroyed the plant."
"..That means...we..we...Oh.Hiei.."*
Kurama turned over and sobbed some more. His children were gone, his life was completely shattered. The only thing that kept him going was Hiei. But then there was that dreadful curse of his.
He looked over at Hiei's sleeping form. He had also been crying, to make up for the tears he didn't shed as a wolf. A few tear gems lay on his pillow. Kurama put his arm around him, pulling him in closer. To his surprise, Hiei turned around and buried his head in Kurama's chest.
~~~
A few years passed. They grew more in love with each other. But they both mourned for the loss of their children.
Till one day, Kurama picked up the lighter...
Kurama's hands shivered as he walked into Hiei's bedroom. He was sleeping quietly in his bed. Kurama could hear his koibito's breathing, slow and patterned. Surely their love was strong enough so that if anything DID happen, Hiei would be okay?
Kurama got close to the half-koorime, he could feel his off hot breath on his face. The kitsune gulped, and flicked the lighter on.
He held his breath. Sure, he had an idea of his lover's face, but never new it was...this.this...childish. It was like a child's, carved with time and hate. He been through a lot. Kurama was on the verge of crying again. That perfect face was his.
Two bright red eyes were looking directly at him.
~~~
Somewhere, Rikonomi started laughing manically. Her non-aging face twisted in a laughing fit. The servants who stood around her all bowed low, just in case they did something wrong.
"My, my, my. All these years and finally I get to have my darling prince. Oh, what luck! And I started doubting it!" she laughed, almost ready to jump on the table and dance.
The human servants in the next room over heard...
A girl with messy brown hair smiled weakly, "At least we won't get beat up by her while she waits."
"Yes Keiko, we finally get some peace...wait, what if this prince person is worse than her?"
"Don't scare Keiko like that Botan. I'll protect you Keiko, I swear."
"Thanks Yusuke.."
~~~
Hiei blinked once or twice, focusing. "Ku...Kurama?" he said, then he looked at the lighter in Kurama's still-shaking hands. His eyes widen considerably. Hiei sat straight up in bed his face got dark and menacing. "Kurama, you could have just waited..you just had to."
"H-Hiei..I..I"
*SLAP*
Kurama's face stung as much as Hiei's right hand. "Baka no kitsune!" Hiei hissed, then he flitted out the door. "Gomen nasai, GOMEN NASAI!" the kitsune yelled after him, tears flying down his cheeks. Kurama blinked, and heard soft clinking on the floor where Hiei flitted by. He looked down. Dozens of tear gems, of Hiei's tear gems, littered the tile floor. He picked one up and held it tight.
It was instinct, powered by the curse. Hiei ran, topless, barefoot over the cold snow, straight toward Rikonomi's domains.
Kurama sat on his knees on the cold palace floor, crying harder than he has ever. "What have I done?.....What have I done?!" he sobbed loudly.
Yukina could hear the kitsune's cries and felt her brother leave. She knew it would happen someday, she always had the feeling. She sighed and fell back into her deep sleep.
