Disclaimer: Look, if I owned Yu Yu Hakusho, it would be ummm...not on Cartoon Network....and would definitely have a higher rating than T (for teens)...Um that's just me tho....;;

A/N: The shocking conclusion...lol, no...just the conclusion...::wishes she could revise this story just to pick on her past self:: Ano, it's sappy...scary sappy....0.o;; ::bashes self::

And I just realized, the slashes I've been using for thoughts haven't been showing up!! ::cries:: Hey...maybe italics will work now...though...testing italics... ::hopes it works...::

'thoughts'

"No..." Hiei stammered, his eyes widening. "Kurama...no, you can..." Scrambling over to the kitsune, he pulled him into his arms, cradling him there.
Kurama's eyes slid in and out of focus. 'Hiei...you're so close...' The pain had stopped, leaving him strangely peaceful. "H...Hiei..."
"Hai, Kurama?"
"Hiei...I...I'm s-sorry I hurt you.."
"No, Kurama--"
"Forgive me...but I'll never... stop loving you...forgive me--" His eyes closed slowly, and with a peaceful smile on his lips, his head toppled over limply.
"NO!" Hiei cried. "No, Kurama..." Tears streamed from his eyes as he buried his face in the redhead's chest.
'This strange feeling...' Pulling his hand to his chest, he realized..this was what the ningens called a broken heart...
Everything was torn. He, Hiei, had denied the kitsune everything...and Kurama was--
"Pathetic fool," Kage remarked. "You've grown soft in the ningen world." He chuckled slightly.
-Ningens are pathetic and soft. You know that Kurama," he had said to the sleepy kitsune. "You're growing soft."-
Wiping the tears, he stood, his crimson eyes hardening.
Kage laughed even more. "Have I struck a soft spot, traitor? Don't worry, you'll be with your ningen wannabe soon enough."
'No. Kurama can't be dead...I know...I...I WON'T ACCEPT IT!'
"THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG, BAKA!!" he cried, thrusting forth his katana. "KEN NO KOKURYU HA!" The Jagan glowed a brilliant hue of green, the same color of the reiki surrounding his katana. The glow faded after what seemed a flash of movement. Kage stood there dumbfounded, interrupted as blood ruptured from him.
"No!" he cried. "I WON'T LOSE!" Concentrating his reiki, the shadows flared out again.
"Oh no you don't, youma!" Yusuke cried, getting up. He held up his fist, a blue glow about it. "SHOT GUN!"
"NOOO!" Kage cried, obliterating in the blast.
"Heh." Yusuke grinned, pulling down his fist. He kicked at Kuwabara. "Wake up, you big oaf."
Hiei walked slowly over to the silent kistune, picking him up.
"You're quiet for once, Hiei..." Yusuke remarked.
"Baka," Hiei muttered. He vanished.

The dished clinked softly as Yukina scrubbed them, smiling gently. With a quick glance out the window, her face brightened. Drying her hands quickly she rushed to the door and slid it open. "Oniisan!" she cried, running outside, only to halt.
Hiei treaded slowly toward her, his face blank, stained from fallen tears and blood shed.
"Yukina.." he said softly.
Everything seemed to stop within Yukina. "O-Oniisan..! What happened?!"
Silent tears drifted down his face. He lifted the bleeding Kurama into Yukina's arms.
Yukina's heart ached beyond comprehension at the sight of her beloved brother...never before had she seen the seemingly stoic youkai shed tears.
"I...I refuse to believe he's dead..." Hiei muttered. "I refuse...Yukina, I beg you, please heal him."
"Oniisan!"
"Onegai, Yukina..." He hesitated for a moment, before pulling the small girl into his arms into what was an unmistakable embrace, and pulling away.
"Hai...Oniisan..." She smiled, or at least tried to, shedding tears as well. A sob escaped her mouth as she hurried into the house.
'Yes Hiei...I knew you'd follow your heart.' Holding her hands out, a soft glow shone from them. Kurama wounds began to heal, and the dirt began to fade from his face. 'And now I won't let it be broken.'

Silence drifted around the Jaganshi. Wanting to swat it away like an annoying fly, Hiei sighed. Yukina had long since left, needing to buy more groceries. Kurama still lay silently in a bed, his face gentle and silent. Hiei smiled again. Hours before Yukina had emerged from the room, drained of her energy, but still grinning. "He's fine," she had said, "he's alive."
Hiei's eyes had shed tears like never before, and happiness -- something Hiei had never known before -- filled his heart like cool water. Even though Kurama had slept on for hours now, the feeling of such happiness hadn't worn off.
'Although he could wake up. Damn kitsune's gotta sleep in.' He smiled humorously at the thought.
There was the soft pat of feet on the floor. The bedroom door slid open and Kurama emerged groggily.
Crossing his arms quickly, Hiei looked away.
"H-Hiei...?" Kurama said softly.
"It took you long enough to wake up, kitsune."
Kurama flushed, looking away.
-"Just don't let it get to you completely...I'd hate to be the only demon traitor left."-
-"Hiei..."-
-"KURAMA!"-
-"Forgive me...but I'll never....stop loving you...forgive me--"-
The memories flashed through Hiei's mind, paingin his heart even more. Standing up, he approached the kitsune, halting before him.
Kurama gazed at him, covering up his emotions with cheap indifference.
Smirking, Hiei pushed his lips against the youkai's, welcoming the familiar feelings.
Kurama pulled away, his face red. "Hiei, I--"
"Ai shiteru, kitsune."
Kurama's eyes widened, and, after fully comprehending the words, a soft smile found his lips.
He pulled Kurama closer. "My heart told me so." Pushing his face forward again, another warm kiss met his lips.
