A/N: Remember when I said that I wouldn't have to change the rating on this fic, well I sort of kind'a lied. I changed the rating to 'R'. Though, if you think it's too high, let me know. With FF.Net you can't be too sure, they're very picky when it comes to stuff like this. Anyway, on with the fic and enjoy.

It felt like he had been running for hours. It didn't matter which way he ran, for each direction looked the same. He was surrounded by blackness.
"This is ridicules," Hiei said in fustration and drew his katana for comforts sake.
"Finally, you've drawn your weapon," a voice said from behind him.
"Kurama!?" he said surprised. Sure enough, when he turned he was able to see the red head. "Where have you been?" he asked annoyed.
"Waiting for you," instinctively, Hiei's hands tightened on his katana.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Isn't it obvious, I'm going to kill you," the kitsune said calmly.
"Normally, that would have surprised me," the fire youkai smirked. "If this were real."
"This is real," Kurama said.
"If you say so," Hiei finished and attacked the kitsune. Who, in turn, dodged and attacked with his whip, slashing the back of his legs. Hiei fell to his knees in pain.
"Do you still believe that this isn't real?" Kurama asked mockingly. Hiei was still on his knees, not so much for the pain, but because he felt pain and that it came from Kurama, the last person he'd expect to hurt him. But this wasn't real, it really wasn't Kurama attacking him … then why did it feel so real?
"Hin," he stood and positioned the sword in front of him. "Yes, this isn't real. The Kurama I know, wouldn't needlessly attack me."
"We shall see," Kurama jumped behind him and threw his whip, making an 'X' on his back. Hiei ignored it, and went to attack him. He would have succeeded in severing his head, but the kitsune ducked. Hiei smirked; Kurama dogging one of his fastest attacks was very unlikely, for the fire youkai knew that Kurama wasn't that fast. His thoughts were interrupted when Kurama's whip wrapped itself around his ankle. Still smirking, Hiei slashed the whip, which easily cut through it.
"Seeing as this isn't real, then nether is Kurama's unbreakable whip," Hiei said arrogantly. He stopped smirking when Kurama's expression didn't change. "Would you stop grinning!?" the fire youkai said in fustration and went to attack the kitsune, who was just standing still. Hiei involuntarily stopped when his katana was mere hairs from Kurama's neck.
"You cannot bring your self to kill me, can you?" the kitsune said, green eyes looking into Hiei's red ones. "Even if this isn't real, you can't bring your self to kill the one you love." The kitsune took no heed to the blade at his neck.
"We shall see," Hiei said emotionlessly. With only a moment's hesitation, he took the sword away but quickly brought it down again, detaching his head from his body. Hiei fell to his knees as he watched the head role, and the body collapse into a pool of black blood. He knew this wasn't real, but it still hurt him to kill Kurama, dream or not. As the head stopped, the face was still smirking. "What if this was real?" he said to the severed head, but quickly, white light engulfed him.
~
"Hiei, stop this nonsense!" Kurama said, bearly dodging another attack. He was tired, and the fight had started but minutes ago. He had been walking through complete darkness, when Hiei came out of nowhere, leaving a shallow gash across his back.
"Start fighting," the red-eyed youkai said in a voice that faintly sounded like his. Something wasn't right. Kurama could feel it; hell he could even smell it. This wasn't real, Hiei wasn't real, but then…why was he bleading?
"I will not fight until I know what is going on," Kurama said calmly, now standing at attention. Hiei smirked and threw away his katana, now sound was heard.
"Alright, then." Hiei jumped after Kurama, effectively knocking the surprised kitsune to the ground. His head forcefully hit the black floor, making him dizzy. Though, still no sound was heard when he did that. It was as if he could only hear himself and the fire youkai on top of him.
"W-what are you doing," Kurama asked. He noticed Hiei's crimson colored eyes dripping with pure lust. The said youkai put his mouth over Kurama's and forced his tongue inside. Too surprised to do anything, or even push him off, Kurama just let it happen, he even enjoyed it. Then the forbidden kiss ended.
"This is what you wanted," Hiei said seductively, that's when warning bells started going off in his head. 'This isn't real,' he had to repeat to himself. Though, it felt so real, and how much the kitsune wished it were. After his many years living in solitude, it felt wonderful to be wanted, even if it were by a lustful youkai whom he loved. Kurama closed his eyes as he felt Hiei's hot mouth over his neck, than he brought his mouth back to Kurama's and kissed him painfully. When he felt Hiei's hand go to his pants, is when his senses came back to him. His eyes shot opened.
"Stop," he whispered and half-heartedly pushed the fire youkai off him, but with no anvil.
"This is what you wanted, to be loved," Hiei smirked, looking down at the kitsune. "You don't want to alone any more, do you?"
"Not like this," Kurama said in a voice bearly above a whisper, "Not like this," he said louder and hit him in the neck. Though, not forcefully, just enough to get the job done. Hiei quickly jumped up, knowing what his did. Kurama stood up, waiting for the death seed to take effect.
"You will be alone forever. With no one to care for you," Hiei smirked.
"That may be true, but I wont be here," with that said. Vines started to shoot up through the seed, and into Hiei's head. Kurama watched painfully as plants sprouted through the eye sockets, nose, mouth, and ears of the only one he loved. It wasn't fair, even if this wasn't real. He was truly alone in the world. As he saw the plant fall to the ground, white light over powered him.
~
"How wonderful to see that you two are alive," Koe said amused looking at the two youkai who were panting on the ground. Hiei was the first to stand, he immediately noticed the kitsune.
"Kurama!?" he said. The Kitsune looked up than stood.
"You're alive!?" Kurama said absently.
"I thought I killed you?" Hiei said, still unable to determine reality.
"Yes, yes," Koe started to walk over to them. "You both are still alive, but that's too much to say about your ningen friends." Immediately they looked over to see the bodies of Yuskue and Kuwabara.
"What have you done to them?" Kurama asked.
"I have done nothing to them," he laughed. "It was their own petty hearts that brought them their end," he finished bitterly.
"Explain," Hiei said, taking out his Katana, though he was emotionally exhausted.
"Not yet," Koe told them simply.
"Then you die!" Hiei went to attack him, but then there was a flash of light and Koe disappeared. "What the hell?" He turned around, there he was, the cursed youkai.
Kurama looked around for Koe, who seemed to have disappeared. Then he noticed that he was coming after him at a fast speed. He thought about taking out his whip, but then saw a katana lying at his feet. How it got there, he didn't no, nor did her care. He picked up the sword just in time to block the attack.
~
"This is fun," Koe said watching the fight, oblivious to them selves that they were fighting each other.
~
As the youkai blocked, Hiei kicked him in the side. Watching him lose his balance, he took the advantage to kick him in the chest.
Kurama winced in pain, as Koe wounded him. He wasn't as good with a katana as the said youkai, but he knew how to use it. It was something one learns to do when they live as long as he has. He dodged another attack with enough time to stab Koe in the shoulder.
The fire youkai cried out as Koe removed the katana from his shoulder. If he wasn't too occupied in killing the youkai, he would have noticed the familiarity in the fighting style. However, he was too angry to process anything, but the word 'kill', and that was what he intended to do.
"You will die!" Koe said. If he wasn't so emotionally unstable, Kurama would have noticed that it wasn't Koe's voice he heard, but Hiei's.
"We shall see," Hiei faintly heard what Koe said. He just wanted the youkai dead. That's exactly what he was going to do. The fire youkai went after Koe, katana in hand, and the youkai did the same.
Kurama went to attack the youkai coming after him, sword extended. As they were only about a foot away from each other, he stabbed him in the gut, but not with out being stabbed him self.
They both saw the white light again, and then crimson met emerald. Hiei and Kurama looked at each other with mirrored expressions on their faces.
"No," the both whispered together. They pulled out the weapon from each others stomach. The two youkai embraced one another and fell to the ground, a pool of blood accumulated around them.
"Kurama!" a single black tear gem fell from Hiei's eyes.
"I love you…" the kitsune smiled with blood trickling from his mouth. He blinked one last time before closing his eyes for good, and resting in an eternal peaceful sleep.
"Kur-" the fire youkai was unable to finish what he was going to say as he followed his love in death.
"Now you see," Koe walked over to the two embracing corps. "Now you see what love does to a person, whether they be youkai or ningen. In the end, the foolish heart consumes you and you die. It proves that there is no love in the world, only death. Painful, agonizing death," Koe said bitterly and disappeared into the shadows, leaving the four dead corpses in the middle of the black forest.

Author's note:
Well, how'd you like the Shakespearean ending? This is most defiantly the most confusing story I have ever written. To clear thing up for you: at the end, Hiei and Kurama were fighting each other, but with the image of Koe. Speaking of which, Koe is a very unstable youkai, wouldn't you agree? His reason's for doing what he did are entirely up to you. I did that on purpose, because I have my own views, and others may have their own. Also, my apologies for anyone being too OOC, but that's the only way I could fit them in here. Did anyone figure out how they got out of their spell? It was the name of this chapter, to kill the one you love. ;} Anyway, review and tell me how, if, you liked it.
