Kurama sat straight up. Sweat was pouring from his body and he was shaking all over. He looked around him and beside him there was Hiei... sound asleep. Kurama decided that he needed something to drink, so he sat up and slowly slid out of bed. He felt sick, but when he stood up a dizzy spell hit him and he crumbled to the floor with a lout 'THUD'.

In an instant Hiei was awake and at the side of his mate. He picked Kurama up and gently placed him back on the bed. He noticed that his fox was sweating and pale looking. Hiei went to their bathroom to retrieve a glass of water and sat it down on the bedside table.

" Kurama? Are you alright?" Hiei asked very concerned for his love.

After receiving no answer, he called again, but got the same results. The third time, Hiei lightly shook Kuramas shoulders.

Kurama weakly groaned and said a few things while unconscious. Hiei leaned down to listen more carefully.

"... Karasu... No... Please stop... Hiei... Please forgive me..." Kurama mumbled.

Hiei was shocked. 'He's still dreaming about Karasu? He told me he didn't have them anymore.' Hiei thought while still trying to awaken his love.

Finally Kurama woke back up, still sweaty and pale. He looked over at Hiei, who had him cradled in his lap, and saw concern in the deep red orbs.

" What happened?" Kurama whispered.

Hiei handed Kurama the glass of water. " Here, drink this... you were dreaming... you said some things about... K-Karasu."

Kurama felt sick all over again. He turned around, hugged Hiei around the waist, and buried his face in his chest. Hiei looked down and noticed that Kurama's body was shaking, so he instinctively held his love tighter. Hiei began stroking his fox's beautiful red hair.

" Kurama? What were you dreaming of?" Hiei asked gently. " Please tell me. I'm your mate remember?"

" It was K-Karasu."

" What happened?"

" He... He killed... our baby." Kurama started crying again.

" Kurama, what are you hiding?"

Kurama looked down. He felt dirty and ashamed, even though it was just a dream. " He hurt me... and he r-raped me... I'm so sorry! Hiei, will you forgive me?"

" It was just a dream. It wasn't real, so I have nothing to forgive. Besides, we have a big day tomorrow. You're probably just nervous."

" You're probably right, Hiei." Then Kurama got the strangest feeling deep within his body. Kurama began licking and sucking on Hiei's chest.

'This is unexpected' Hiei thought to himself as he moaned at the sensations Kurama's lips and tongue were creating. But just as quickly, the sensations were gone. Hiei looked down at Kurama and noticed an emotion flash in his eyes that he had never seen before.

" Hiei?"

" Yes, Fox?"

" Make love to me?"

Well, that's all for now. Sorry it took a while. School has been hectic. Have any idea's for upcoming chapters? I'd love to hear them!

Ciao!
