Yusuke made a final check on Kuwabara, who was still unconscious from the snakebite, Kurama, who was sleeping and recovering his energy, and Hiei, who just sat there in Kurama's room, staring out the window. The Detective smiled as he remembered the events of the past few days. It had been tough on all of them, but they had gotten through it.

"I'm going outside for some fresh air. Wanna come?" he asked. Hiei didn't even flinch at the sudden noise. "Hn," he said, and made no effort to either get up or explain his decision.

Yusuke shrugged. "Okay. Suit yourself. See ya later." Hiei blinked, and the Detective took that as a sign of understanding.

"I don't blame 'im for not wanting to leave Kurama, after what they've been through together," Yusuke muttered to himself as he walked down the hallway. He wasn't sure about what happened after he had left the room yesterday, but he knew it must have been pretty important for Hiei to decline an opportunity to spar with him. He figured it had something to do with the red and black gem that now rested against Kurama's chest.

"Ah well, at least I won't have to use up my energy fighting with 'im," Yusuke yawned. He stretched his arms behind his head and walked outside into the sunshine.
