Ok, so here's the thing, I'm trying so hard to finish this thing, but I am
also on some other "side-projects" as in, writing other fics. Not only Yu
Yu Hakusho fics by the way, but also Gundam Wing. *Sigh* I'll let you all
know how my endeavors turn out.
I am truly not making any money off of this, I really don't think that any of us are, I'm just a poor college student that is bored and somewhat imaginative. So, read, and Enjoy!
Notes: Sometimes it will be point of view, sometimes it won't, depends on where the story takes me, I will write and update often, since I know what it is like to be in the middle of a really good story and to just be left hanging.
(Words with a day will be journal entries made by the character, and I think in this story each character will have his own, maybe. Words with ** means they will be personal thoughts. Also, I may throw in song lyrics so beware of those.)

Chapter 12: Precious Moments
Stranger than your sympathy
This is my apology
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out
I wish for things that I don't need
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free
All I wanted
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees
-Goo Goo Dolls, Sympathy
Thursday
Hn, being here is so pointless. No one but me and Kurama get anything done. Yusuke is always being scolded on how much of an idiot he is, and Kuwabara will not stop fawning over my sister. Botan was a bit amusing last night at dinner, some how, only she could ever manage to trip over a non-existent rug, and spill the miso soup she was carrying, all over Yusuke. We can all guess how that ended up, lots of screaming and yelling, and eventually crying. Though, last night, my fox was in some what of an emotional state, he thought we wouldn't make it out of this battle alive, and that he might loose me, or vise versa. Though, he should know, nothing in the three worlds would keep me from him, I would join him in death, as well as the next life, he is bonded to me, as I think I am to him. Though I am not certain, I don't doubt that he has feelings for me, but I do doubt that those feelings will linger very long in a heart of a youko. *Mental head scratch* Will he love me when his human form dies? Damn, I am going to put all these thoughts aside for later contemplation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sands in the hour glass on the table were beginning to run out. The only sound heard in the massive room, was the sound of sand falling upon sand. Four figures stood with their backs against the walls, the room was ill furnished, nothing in it but a table, and the hour glass.
"I'm tired of waiting." Spoke Minami, they have been standing in the room for more than three hours, waiting for Karasu to join them in the meeting he had called. "Where the hell is he?-"
The heavy doors swung open, and in stepped the tall and lanky frame of Karasu. "I am here, as you were so politely pointing out Minami."
"Well it's about time, it's rude to be late for a gathering you called forth." Higashi spoke from a corner of the room. "What is it, that you called us here for?"
Karasu crossed the room, in elegant, slow steps. He placed a blue orb with infinitely changing blue hues and shades, on the black table. "It is almost time. But first, we have things to accomplish. Nishi, I want you to go to the temple of the old hag Genkai, and when you arrive there, you may do as you wish; but, I want you to bring the one called Kurama back here, alive. His body in any state you wish, but his face unharmed. Kita, you will send a message to Koenma in the Reikai, tell him that the end is near, and that death and destruction will lie in our wake, and not even Enma Diaoh will keep him from me. Minami, and Higashi, you will come with me, a great battle will ensue, and we will all be there to share in the spoils." With that, he left the room, and all four dispersed in designated directions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun rose lazily over the horizon, illuminating all the sleeping plants and animals in the forest surrounding the temple. Kurama opened one emerald eye, and examined his surroundings. He sat up on his futon, and noticed that he was the only one in it. *Hm, Hiei must up and about. Time for a bath.* He thought as he gathered his things and neatly put them away in their proper place. He grabbed his towel and headed for the hot springs for a morning bath. It was around 4 in the morning, that meant he had about and hour before Genkai would collect them for practice.
He walked leisurely down to the hot springs, when he noticed a figure was sitting on a boulder near the entrance. Hiei sat there, sharpening his katana with a piece of cloth ripped from his shirt.
"Ohayo Hiei." Kurama greeted calmly. Hiei looked up and nodded in his direction.
"The idiot and Yusuke are already in the bath. They actually got up early for once." Hiei spoke solemnly, then returned his attention to his sword.
"Why aren't you in there with them?" Asked the curious kitsune.
"Hn, I already had my bath..." He paused, uncertain. His childlike face showed an almost puzzled look, then relaxed and went back to the normal stoic facade. Kurama had never seen such a change in emotions on his fire demon's face. "I have something for you. Follow me." Hiei leapt off the rock and walked down the hill to a brook that ran through the temple.
Kurama followed Hiei with a curious stare in his emerald gaze. He stood in front of the smaller demon. Hiei fidgeted with the inside of his cloak, and he pulled out a small black box tied together with twine. "Here." He shoved the package to the bewildered fox...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Where's Hiei? I don't hear him grumbling to himself anymore. Could he have left?* Yusuke thought to himself, he had been extremely curious as to what Hiei was mumbling about. He could have sworn he heard something about Kurama and a box in his incoherent ranting, buut he wasn't sure. He hadn't been sure about a lot of this lately, Kurama and Hiei had been acting strange since their first night in Genkai's temple, and Kuwabara, he wasn't going to dwell much on the orange haired idiot. He know that he was too busy thinking about Yukina, and how much he loved her, and how he was going to marry her because she was the only girl he could ever love. But Hiei and Kurama, there was just something with those two that he just couldn't put his finger on. *But I'll be damned if I'm gonna be kept in the dark.*
Yusuke stepped out of the spring and wrapped himself in a towel.
"Where you goin' Urameshi?" Asked Kuwabara, who was still submerged in the hot steaming water.
"I'm startin' to prune, so I'm going to go for a walk before grandma decides she wants to play drill sargent for the day." He turned and walked out of the spring. *Huh?* He heard talking down the hill. *Hiei and Kurama? What are they doing?* He started his way down the hill...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Here." He shoved the package to the bewildered fox.
Kurama accepted the box with a puzzled gaze. With deft fingers he untied the twine and opened the lid to the small box. As he removed the lid, he peered at the contents of the small box, and let out a gasp of surprise. "Hiei.." Kurama spoke over the lump that had developed in his throat.
Kurama lifted a small chain from the black box. A silver chain with a black Hirouseki stone dangling from it. A tear gem, a tear gem from Hiei. "I love it." He slipped the silver chain around his neck, and tucked his coveted treasure under his shirt to rest against his heart. A tear slipped from his closed eyes, and he wipped it away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*What are they doing?* Yusuke thought. He saw Kurama holding a black box, and saw that Hiei and Kurama silent, and.... Happy? Yusuke hid behind a bush and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Where did you get it?" Asked an elated Kurama. Holding on to the box that once held his most precious and beautiful gift.
"Hn, I've had it for a while.." Hiei stopped speaking as he heard a noise. He turned his head towards the direction. He leapt and cut the bush into two, and jumped back. "Hn, how long have you been there?"
Yusuke was on the ground, face completely pale, and eyes blank. He laughed stupidly. "Hehe, not long, not long at all. Just a few seconds, what was in the box-" He stopped his statement when he saw the death glare in Hiei's ruby red eyes. "Nevermind. I gotta go now." Yusuke said as he ran up the hill like a bat out of hell.
"Wonder what's gotten into him?" Said Kurama in a pensive tone.
