"Hey, you're finally awake," Yusuke's voice said.
Hiei moaned as he groggily opened his eyes. "What happened? How long have I been out?"
"You've been "hibernating" for three days. And don't tell me you don't remember!"
The memories came flooding back to the fire demon. He bolted up in his bed. "Where is Kurama?! If he's dead, Detective..."
"I'm right here."
Hiei stopped in mid-sentence and looked to the source of the voice. Propped up on a pillow in the bed next to his was Kurama. "You're...alive..." Hiei whispered in disbelief. Kurama smiled. "I wouldn't be if it wasn't for you." He winced in effort, but in a second his soft smile was back on his face.
Yusuke slipped quietly out of the room.
Kurama slowly extended his arm to Hiei. His hand was closed tightly around something. "I think this belongs to you." He unclenched his fingers with much difficulty, for his cramped hand had been in the same position for days. In the palm of his hand was a glowing red and black tear gem.
Hiei took the fox's hand in his and curled Kurama's fingers back around the gem. "You keep it."
Kurama smiled, pushed himself out of bed, and pulled his fire demon friend close in a warm embrace. Hiei rolled his eyes but allowed his friend to hug him.
"Thank you, my forever friend," the fox whispered.
Hiei smiled. "Any time."

Oh wow! It's finally done! I can't believe it!! This took me almost three whole months, and it's finally done!!! The original took me a month and a half, so in total this entire story took me four and a half months to write!! sniff I'm so proud... starts sobbing
Anyway, the next chapter is Next Time on Yu Yu Hakusho. I'm thinking about making another one, I'm not entirely sure yet. Please tell me if I should write another one, or if I should just leave it alone. Thank you so much for your support, and I'll see ya next time on Yu Yu Hakusho!
