Thanks to my reviewers:
KaraKurama- Glad you like it! Thanks!
sakurasango- I'm really glad you like it!! Here's your update!!
Just to let you know, this story IS NOT yaoi OR shonen-ai. None of my stories are. I don't like it, so I don't write it. If you wanna think of it that way, fine by me, but just know that it's not what I intended.
Here's the next chapter! Enjoy and please review!!!
.....................
Yusuke helped Kurama up the stairs to the hotel room he shared with Hiei. Well, actually, most of the time he had the room all to himself, since Hiei was content to sleep on a tree branch outside.
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Yusuke asked when they got to the door.
"I'll be fine, really," Kurama answered. "You and Kuwabara are the ones who need attention. My battle is over, but yours have yet to come. Go, rest. I can take care of myself."
Yusuke nodded. "Whatever you say." He made sure Kurama could keep his balance before walking down the hall to his room.
Kurama pressed his hand against the panel on the door. "Verify, Kurama, Team Urameshi," he said. The panel beeped once, then said, "Energy and handprint verified. Identity valid." The door unlocked. Kurama turned the handle and walked in.
He was so tired. That fight had drained a considerable amount of his energy. Karasu had been stronger than he had anticipated.
The kitsune stumbled into the bedroom. His exhausted legs finally gave out, and he began to tip over.
A pair of strong arms caught him before he fell. Kurama looked up to see Hiei's face. "Thanks, Hiei," he mumbled.
The fire youkai carried him over to the bed and laid him down. "Rest now," he said. "You've had a long day."
The last thought in Kurama's mind before he passed out was how strange it was to see Hiei in the room.

--You're struggling again. Don't you realize it's hopeless?--
--I told you to get out.--
--Oh, the poor youkai is scared.--
--I don't have time for your mind games.--
--Who said it was a game?--
--That's all this is to you. It's just one big game. You are intent on winning but I'll see to it that you're the loser.--
--Ah, but I have the advantage. I am in control here.--
--Not for long.--
--We will see.--
