NOTE TO READERS
Alright, this isn't really what I'd call a chapter. It's more like just a little fluffy moment between Hiei and Kurama. Its angsty and a tear-jerker, that's for sure. When I read the email from Fox, I was sobbing by the end of it! ;-;
REVIEW RESPONSES TO 'dude' and Baka Gothic Kitsune:
Actually, yaoi and shonen-ai are different. Yaoi is more into sexual stuff, while shonen-ai is just fluffy romance. True, they are both male/male pairings, but it's just the intensity that I don't like in yaoi stories. Shonen-ai stories have slight stuff; more PG-13-ish, while yaoi would be more R.
Shout-Out to Blue Ice Fox and the Insane!!
Readers, I'm not the one who quenched my writer's block. My newest friends the Insane and Blue Ice Fox did by sending me the perfect fluffy bit for this chapter! I just tweaked a few things, but the REAL author isn't me. Got it? Good! Now go thank them for being an awesome writer! They've got talent! I don't think I could have done this better than them!
====================================================
Kurama blinked as the morning sunlight swept through the window, revealing the dust particles dancing through the crisp winter air that had filled his room through the slightly opened window. His mind was still hazed with sleep as he struggled to remember what had been going on.
He attempted to stretch, but found the weight of Hiei in his arms. The kitsune had fallen asleep with the youkai, Hiei still holding onto him as if his heart would stop the moment he let go. Kurama let his head fall back against the headboard of the bed.
'When did Hiei become so important to me?' Kurama thought as he felt his cheeks being slowly caressed by warm tears. Damn it! He felt so useless! All he could do was sit here and wait!
What if Hiei died like this, right here in his arms, and there was nothing he could do about it? What would he do if Hiei was gone? Knowing he wouldn't be there at his window when the rain was merciless or be in the trees in unexplained companionship wherever he walked, how would he live if Hiei, his friend, the only person who understood his past, the only one who listened to him on lonely nights when he simply wanted to talk, the only one who knew him from the inside out, was gone?
He wouldn't be sane. Kurama would be trapped in his stupid ningen act until the day this body was dead, and then his human side would be forgotten. Only Hiei knew both so well. Only Hiei could keep them in balance. A choked sob hitched Kurama's breath.
"I need you Hiei . . ." he whispered hoarsely to the unconscious youkai. "You can't leave me . . . not now . . ."
How could this stupid disease have struck so hard? Hiei was not supposed to die like this. He didn't deserve this. Hiei was supposed to die in fierce combat, and he was certainly not supposed to die until Kurama himself was gone. How could this damned bastard have done this to him! Coming into his life so quickly and uninvited, making himself known, cared for, and even . . . loved . . . AND THEN JUST LEAVING AS QUICKLY AS HE CAME?!
No, this wasn't right! It wasn't fair! When did he start caring so damn much!? Where was the unforgiving, uncaring Youko when Kurama needed him, or was he being played like this to? Another hitching sob resounded off the walls, and the kitsune drew Hiei closer to him. But he wanted this; he wanted to feel this love, but not now! Not when Hiei's dead and gone!
"Hiei, if you die, I swear I-I'll never forgive you!" he cried between sobs.
Hiei moaned suddenly and turned in Kurama's arms. His face was twisted in pain and struggle. He was trying, trying so hard to live. He wanted to come back; he didn't want to leave them, any of his friends. He would miss that Yusuke's idiotic jokes, grinning like an imbecile. He would miss Koenma, but . . . Hiei would see him anyhow. God, he would even miss the baka! He would miss them all, but he would miss that stupid fox most of all.
What the hell had the kitsune done to him to make him feel so much?! But . . . it wasn't in a bad way . . .
He struggled to open his eyes. Kurama, was he . . . was he crying? Again? Over him?
Hiei reached up weakly catching the fox's attention. Kurama blinked away tears as Hiei wiped his cheek. The red haired demon turned his face into the warm hand, closing his eyes.
"Please, please don't leave me... Y-you don't even know-" His voice caught in his throat as his body shook with sobs.
"I . . . promise . . ." Hiei's voice was soft and distant, "I-I'll . . . try . . ." His hand fell as he slipped back into his unconscious state.
Kurama leaned his lips to the demon's feverish forehead, leaving a cool kiss. "That's all I can ask . . ." he murmured against the burning skin. "All I can ask . . ."

A/N: See? You're crying, ne? I told you it was sad! I TOLD YOU! ::sobs::
Ok, I want to all to review, but then you've gotta email the two of 'em and tell them what a great chapter this is! Email her at spiritfoxk @ yahoo . com. (Remove the spaces first, though. ^_~)
