Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Kurama woke up and noticed that it seemed hotter then it should be. Not being fully awake yet he assumed his fever had returned somehow. But waking up more allowed him to connect the extra heat to not a fever, but a sleeping fire demon in his arms snuggled up contently to the red head.
'He stayed the whole night? He's never done that before,' Kurama thought while looking down at his koi's sleeping face.
He smiled at the form in his arms. Hiei looked so... what was the word... peaceful? Yes that was it, peaceful. With the cold and indifferent mask he wore during the day gone he looked so innocent. Yes I know, not words one would normally use to describe the fiery spirit, but it fit at the moment. The Yoko placed a soft kiss on the demons lips before succumbing to sleep again. For some reason he was still exhausted from the poison.
Unbeknownst to Kurama, Hiei was awoken by the kiss but feigned sleep to see what else his kitsune would do. He wasn't expecting him to fall back to sleep.
'Hn, must still be tired' Hiei tried to pull away and get up but was held down by the feel of Kurama's arms around him still. 'Fine, you win, kitsune,' he thought and cuddled back up with his fox.
When Kurama awoke for the second time that day, he noticed that Hiei was no longer with him. Sitting up slowly he glanced around the room, there really was no trace of the demon at all. He sighed sadly at the fact and was about to get up from the bed when a voice in the doorway stopped him
"Going somewhere kitsune?"
He looked up to find his fire demon walking into his room.
"Hiei? I thought you left already," he said making another attempt at getting out of the bed but was pushed back down by gentle hands.
"Don't think you're getting out of that bed until I say so," he stated firmly, "How are you feeling?"
"Fine, a little tired still but fine, what is this?" he asked as a bowl of something was placed on his lap.
"I believe your quite familiar with 'soup,' Kurama"
"Yes but I didn't think you could cook," he laughed making his fiery friend happy to see him smiling like that again.
"I made it for you two days ago," he saw the confused look and sighed, "You were probably to delirious at that point to remember it."
"Oh," he took a sip of the soup, "It's very good."
The next couple of days went alone those lines. Hiei made the red headed Yoko stay in bed and took care of him. Kurama didn't fight too much with that pre-made decision. He did fight, however, on going back to school which Hiei nearly had a fit over.
"Hiei I've missed to many days as it is, I have to go back"
"Kurama," he growled threateningly, but that didn't stop the Yoko.
"Hiei I'll be fine, I'll see you later," and with that he walked out the door, aware that he had a little bird following him in the tree tops.
"Shuichi, I hope you have a good excuse for so many absent days without any notification," the principal asked the young red head.
"Yes sir, I had fallen to ill to attend school and had no way of giving you notice you of my absence because my mother was, and still is, out of town," and he added a fake cough to emphasize his point.
"Hmm, very well, just get your lesson plans from your teachers then, on your way."
"Thank you," he gave a slight bow then left.
'At least that's over with,' he thought before heading to his classes.
Half the school day had rolled by and by the time he had gym, well, he figured he could skip at lest one class. He really didn't feel like going through all that for nothing, it's not like it was an important class anyway. He stepped through the doors and onto the roof and looked out over the city through the wire mesh surrounding the edge.
"I told you that this would be too much for you."
"Hiei, I'm fine, I just have a free period is all."
"You're skipping one of your classes like Urameshi does," he smirked and walked over to his fox that laughed and grinned back.
"You caught me red handed," they were about to kiss when...
"So are you two gonna kiss or shall I get right to the point," an annoying little voice spoke up.
"Brat!" Hiei yelled at the child ruler.
"What is it Koenma?" Kurama sighed slightly annoyed at the intrusion.
"Well if you two don't want to know how Kurama was cured I'll just leave then."
"Wait you stupid toddler, spill it, how did the blood work without the second part of the ingredient."
"Yes, I would like to know that myself."
"Kurama did get the second part of the ingredient and you gave it to him, Hiei." He looked at the two questioning looks before continuing.
"Let me tell you the whole story and then we'll see if you can figure it out. You see, once I got back to spirit world I did some digging around and found out some interesting things about koorime history.
Nearing the end of the medieval times, the specific breed of spider that attacked Kurama was very common and they would attack ningen villages extremely often using their poison to kill them off.
"Hn, what does that have to do with anything?"
"I'm getting to that!" Koenma cleared his throat, "Anyway, now lets turn to the demon world, shall we? There was a swarm of humans traveling to the demon plain in search of the Korrimes Island. You see, they had the antidote. Or more specifically, the males of the breed did"
"But I thought there weren't any male korrimes allowed," Kurama inquired.
"There isn't now, because the humans were infesting the korrimes home because the cure was a male korrimes tear," He glanced at Hiei to find him speechless and then continued. "The poor korrimes were being mobbed by these people and some even got slaughtered over those gems. And in an attempt to stop it they stopped having males and in fact made them forbidden. With no male korrimes to hunt there was no reason for the ningens to come into their territory. And the fact that most male korrimes were hostile helped sway their decision a bit." He stopped and then asked the two, "Do you see what happened yet, or shall I continue?"
"There's more?" the fox asked at which Koenma shook his head at
"Not really, unless you want me to say that the humans stopped coming to the island after that"
They both looked at Hiei who quickly covered up his shock and surprise at the new information that had been given to them.
"If that's all true then why didn't Yukina know about all of this?"
"Because the knowledge of how the males became forbidden, and the spiders had been nearly completely forgotten by the korrimes. Even if it is remembered, it is certainly, not taught to the new generation. I had to do some serious digging to find this entire thing out."
"So Hiei's tear is what saved me then, you see Hiei? Some emotions aren't bad."
"Hn."
"Well then if there are no more questions I'll be leaving now and Kurama."
"Yes?"
"I suggest you get back into that building or you'll really have some explaining to do," and with that he was off.
"He's right I do need to go, you alright, koi?" he asked noticing Hieis thoughtful expression.
"Of course I am."
"Alright then, I need to get back in then," he was about to walk away when as an after thought he leaned over and gave Hiei a nice kiss. "Meet me at home, alright?" he asked seductively. Walking back in and leaving a speechless fire korrime standing on the roof, staring at the door.
