'Kay! Last chapter Yukina died and refused to come back to life. Hiei slit his wrists and Kurama found Hiei and Hiei is preparing to run. Did I mention I suck at summaries?

Disclaimer: I forgot to put this in the last chapter so here it is. -sighs- I don't own Yuu Yuu Hakusho. -runs off crying- the world is so cruel. Last Minute notes! "words" means speech and 'words' means thoughts.
Thank you all my reviewers! I didn't think I'd get any reviews!

Annnnnnnnnd. Action!

"Hiei!" Kurama called, horrified. "What did you do?"'I have to get away.' Hiei pushed himself up and sprung away. He was slower than usual, but fast enough. Fast enough to get his heart pumping. Fast enough to get his blood flowing. Fast enough to bleed harder because if he bled hard enough there would be no way Kurama could save him. And that was what he wanted.Hiei was making more mistakes and slowing down considerably. He tripped on one branch, slipped on another. It was getting harder to breathe, harder to run. He paused and checked around. His vision was blurring and disappearing, but not so much that he couldn't tell that Kurama was still following him. He sprung off, but it was hard to see the branches. He had to stop again. At least this branch was high up. If he fell, he would die. Well, why not. He started pitching forward. Blackness had eaten away his vision, but he could fell himself falling, plummeting down to the earth below. Abruptly, he felt himself hit something hard and rough.
'This isn't the ground. Kurama! The branch… He must've used it to catch me...' Darkness enveloped his mind as he fell into unconsciousness. Kurama reached the branch Hiei was on and gathered him up in a bundle."Hiei, how could you do this." He healed Hiei's wrists, then moved his hands, starting from Hiei's head and moving downwards, healing injuries as he went. Everything was healed, but he couldn't help but wonder 'am I in time?' And he also couldn't help but think he wasn't in time. Hiei was growing colder, his heartbeat was weaker, and his breathing could barely be detected. He drew Hiei closer and rubbed Hiei's arms, trying to retain the heat. He knew it was hopeless, but he had to try! He couldn't just sit there and let Hiei die!
'You have to survive Hiei, please! We need you here!' Kurama's silent prayers were interrupted by the arrival of an all too familiar ki.
"Botan, please. He can't die! Don't take him… please..." Tears slid down. Kurama's emerald eyes were glossy and he hugged Hiei closer still. "Please..." he repeated.
"I'm sorry, Kurama, but I have to," Botan replied. "This is hard for me too, you know! What do you think it's like ferrying both Hiei's and Yukina's souls!?"
"I know, Botan. But are you sure he has to die? How could he have done something this stupid!"
"Don't be mad at him, Kurama. He was just trying to help Yukina. And I'm sure he will, alive or dead."
"Couldn't he come back like Yukina could?" Kurama pleaded.
Botan sighed. "I don't know." She shook her head. "I don't know. I hope so, but in the end it's up to him." She turned to someone invisible, though Kurama thought he could see a faint Hiei-shaped shadow. "Ready to go?" The shadow nodded. "Hold on tight!" Botan blasted off.
"Botan," Hiei started. "Before you take me to where I'm going, may I- " He paused.
"Hai?" Botan prompted.
"MayIseeYukina?" he blurted out in a rush.
Botan giggled. "You're going there anyway, you know."
"What?"
"You're pure, Hiei. Everyone's always been telling you that, I don't know why you wouldn't listen."The expression on Hiei's face was one of pure shock to the point of comedy. Botan slowed her oar and dipped down until she was hovering a few feet from the ground.
"One more thing," Botan said. "Please get Yukina to come back. I'm not sure, but I think you can come back too. We can't make you two come back, but we miss you. You're really close to where Yukina is. Bye!" She sped away. "Good luck!" She yelled on her way up.
"Hn." Hiei walked towards the forest. More likely than not that would be where Yukina was. The pine needles and leaves crunched under foot as he walked in between the trees. He rounded a trunk.
There was Yukina.

There you go! My second chapter! It wasn't very good but. oh well! Please, R&R! I think "Hai" means yes, but I'm not sure. I hope I used it right. 'Till next time! Bye!
