Disclaimer: Do not own Yu Yu Hakusho at all. Not the characters. Not the attacks. Not even a single word of the theme song.

Team Maraoki and its members are my own.

Background Music

Hiei's voice comes on. He says:

It's me. Hiei. I know that I was getting hurt badly, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. Just know that I only screamed to stop the attacks on Kurama. Do not mistake that for weakness. Anyway, Yusuke and the clumsy oaf are feeling reckless in my and Kurama's absence, and decide to take on an entire team by themselves. Fools. And what will happen when I wake up to find a certain fox demon half-dead next to me? Watch next time, or feel my wrath.

End background music

Theme song comes on:

The pointed second hand counts down the life I lead

Marking off my legacy of worldly deeds

Tick, Tock, Tick

Constantly I think of things I can't complete

Well it's time to throw them into the backseat

Son of a gun!

End music and episode

This whole fic took me over a month and a half to write. I kept getting depressed because of everything that I made happen to Hiei and Kurama. But I think it turned out great in the end. I was so proud of myself when I finished. Anyway, I am in the process of writing a sequel called Dreams of Despair, so watch for it, okay? Thanks for reading!!! Now, for the last time in this fic, reviews please!!!
