Phew . . . I've been a naughty, BAD author lately. No updates for a really long time! Well, I DO have an excuse this time. (I always say this I know . . .) Anyway, my laptop literally crashed *shows a clip of a talk show host throwing a computer off the roof a tall building and having it smash into the ground* and then the power went out so I couldn't type anything! And now, I'm in a room with an extremely noisy cat that just won't stop! AH! So, here you are! And I apologize again . . . *bow bow*

Kurama's memories are serious coming soon to a computer near you! And YYH is not mine!

^*^*^

(Shuichi's POV)

Where was a cheerleader's uniform when I needed one! And a hospital! I mean really! What a bad two days these had been! Oh well, I just had to make sure to stay alive until Hiei beat the snot out of Mr. Iamtoostupidtomakeupmyownhairstyle!

"BEAT 'IM HIEI! (*cough*)" Hiei turned over and gave me a look. It wasn't a mad or annoyed one . . . it was . . . extremely sad. He looked heartbroken. Had I done something . . .? THEN IT HIT ME! Hence my conclusion . . . Hiei was a very, very weak fighter! He was afraid that he would lose the fight and have leave me! How sad . . . I would have nothing to do but play with the man in my head . . . what a sad fate. I didn't want Hiei to die because of me! ::No offense . . .:: "HIEI! Let Yusuke (*cough*) help you!" I cried.

"What!? NEVER! JUST LOOK AT HIM!" he yelled back, pointing at Yusuke.

"In fact, let him fight ALL by himself! You just come over and sit by me . . ." I said, patting the spot next to me, giving him a happy smile, which was probably ruined because of all the blood covering my body.

"No Kurama! Rando did this to you . . . and I will not stand for it!" he cried. I could tell he was fighting back tears. Why was he so upset? I didn't like to watch him this way . . . I knew how he felt. I didn't know what was wrong, but I knew what it was like for him. Somehow, I could feel what he was feeling.

"Hiei . . . if you're doing this for me, than listen to what *I'm* saying . . ." I started. Hiei didn't bother to look at me, but I knew he was listening. "I love you . . . and because I do I won't deny you the right to fight for me. I know you want to get my real self back for me . . . I want the same, only for you. But, no matter who I am or how I act, I would never be normal if you weren't here. So, get that Rando, but if it gets too hard . . . have someone else take over. There's no shame in saving your own life, Hiei."

Hiei turned to face Rando. He had a determined glint in his eyes . . . I had no doubt, Hiei would win . . .

(Yusuke's POV)

Damn it . . . no way was I letting Hiei get killed or hurt or anything! But I didn't think there was any reason to worry. I knew how powerful Hiei was usually . . . I couldn't even imagine how much stronger he'd be fighting for Kurama!

"Hiei, I'll step back from this fight and go check on Kuwabara, Keiko and Koenma to make sure they're okay. Botan should be around sometime soon too! (I assumed she took the stairs . . .)" With a nod from Hiei, I rushed over to the poor Kuwabara, who was now . . . resting . . . on the ground, looking very much so in pain. He looked a little hurt . . . but he would certainly live. Koenma, well, I didn't care that much about him. Besides, no one landed on him! So I ran over to Keiko! (No one had fallen on her, but still . . .) "Keiko, are you okay!?" I noticed that she was crying! WHY WAS SHE CRYING!? Was her leg broken or something!? "Keiko!?"

"Oh Yusuke!" she cried, jumping up and giving me a hug.

"It's okay Keiko, it's okay . . ." I didn't know what was wrong exactly . . . but hey! I was getting a hug! WOO! After watching Kurama and Hiei these past couple of days, I was starting to get jealous . . .

"Yusuke . . . what if that had been me?"

"Then I would do everything I could to save you . . ."

"Good."

(Rando's POV)

This was all getting a little . . . boring! Where was the action!? Why were they all stall—SHIT! At that moment a blade almost sliced my head apart. I finally realized that Hiei had already begun to fight me. Luckily I had been able to dodge in time, only losing a few hairs.

"WOO! GO HIEI! ATTACK THAT HAIR! (*cough*)"

"Shut up Fox I'm trying to fight!" Hiei yelled over at the redhead. I took that moment to strike while he had his head turned. After a good hit to the side of the head, Hiei soon found himself in hard contact with the ground. But he quickly recovered and got up.

"SORRY HIEI!"

"I told you to shut up—" And I hit him yet again, harder and father.

(Hiei's POV)

I had had enough of this! From this point on I wasn't going to listen to a word Kurama said! But he had such a sweet voice . . . it would be hard to resist.

While I continued to think about Kurama's heavenly voice, Rando had taken the opportunity to pin me down with his lower body and slap me around with his fists.

"Sure wasn't like when I fought him . . ."

DAMN! At this rate I'd be killed in two paragraphs!

(Shuichi's POV)

::Nice going Shuichi! You're killing Hiei!:: Kurama scolded, giving me a mental kick.

::I am not! I was just trying to cheer him on!::

::Rule #1 when it comes to watching fights with Hiei in them, kid: He doesn't like cheerleaders! Don't talk to him unless you're somehow actually helping with the fight, or if he's hurt or in trouble, in which case you would simply call out 'Hiei!', you would then be followed by anyone else watching. But hardly ever at the same time you hear!?::

::What are you talking about . . .?::

::HENCE #2: Never run in to stop the fight, even if Hiei is losing or it looks as though he will be killed. It would be very disgraceful if you were to do such a thing. So always wait to help until the very end of the fight!::

::Stop, you're confusing me!:: I cried, covering my ears . . . I knew very well that it wouldn't help to block the sound at all, but oh well.

At that point, a huge shock of pain hit me as I realized that most of my body was broken.

(Kuwabara's POV)

I looked over to Kurama to find that he had just . . . flopped over. His eyes were closed . . . I couldn't tell if he was breathing. But, the chances of him falling asleep during a Hiei fight weren't good . . .!!!

I hurried over to him, passing by a Koenma, who was making sure to fix his clothes and hair so that he looked alright, and of course, a Yusuke/Keiko who were hugging each other, and then finally a Hiei VS. Rando! Featuring a Hiei getting beat to a blood pulp . . . that was different. He was all . . . stuck under Rando, unable to escape. I always knew Hiei's size would cost him!

"Kurama, are you okay?" I asked. In return I got a slap across the face from a sleeping Kurama.

"Stop coming on to me . . .!" he yelled sleepily as he began to pant heavily. He looked sick . . . in pretty bad shape. It almost looked like he was going to die! Hahaha! Wasn't that crazy! Kurama going to die! How stupid could I be!

"BOTAN!!!!" I screamed as I saw her coming over to the group, I carrying a sick, probably dying Kurama in my arms.

"Oh no! What happened to him!?" she asked, pointing at Kurama with a worried look on her face.

"He's REALLY hurt and needs help NOW! Can you help me get him somewhere so we can heal him!?"

"Of course! Let's go!"

So we both ran off to go get our poor fox friend some seriously needed medical attention.

(Hiei's POV)

'WHAT THE HELL!?' was the only thing running through my mind when I spotted that idiotic Kuwabara and that far too happy Botan carrying away *MY* Kurama! That was it . . . I wasn't going to let anyone get away with anything! Not Rando for hurting Kurama and me, and not Kuwabara and Botan for taking my fox!

With one swift lift of my knee and a lot of force behind it, Rando was rendered useless for a few moments while he was shocked with pain. (That move works no matter what you are!) I took that short while to get out from under him and catch my breath. I also took that short while to notice that Yusuke and his female companion were gone . . . Sigh . . . alone again.

I had to continue the fight! But . . . I was in no real condition to . . . Before I had time to make a decision, my pants were lit on fire, as well as my shirt from one of Rando's attacks.

I needed to put out the flames! I didn't want my clothes to burn up so I would have to fight naked! So, of course, I ran! The wind force would surely put out the flames . . .!

Sadly, this didn't work like I had planned. I had run and run and run, taking every shortcut and twist I could of to take! I had taken so many path changes and strange trips that somehow I had ended up back in the human world! But Rando stayed with me the whole way. I had very little clothes left at that point . . . But luckily, there was a river nearby! So I used all my remaining power and ran to it, jumping in.

(Shiori's POV)

I had just gotten back from the river. I was soaking wet, but at least I had followed and fulfilled all the instructions listed on the piece of paper with the bag . . . It said:

"Shiori, it's me, Hiei. If you find this note . . . please drop the bag it's on into the river. Do not ask why. Thanks . . . or . . . umm . . . HN!" in very sloppy handwriting.

I wasn't going to ask why but I sure was curious . . .

^*^*^

Okay, the next chapter will probably be the last . . . GASP!!! But, the same time I post that chapter I will post the first chapter to the sequel to "Don't Ask Me", "Who I Am". So please read that when it's out! Thanks! And please review! (This was not a very funny chapter I know . . .)
