Hello! Well, I'm having too much fun tormenting Hiei. Is that bad? Oh yeah and I LOVE YOU PEOPLES!!! THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS!! HUGS AND KISSES!! MWUAH MWUAH!!!
Mine and mine alone: Thanks for reviewing! And a one-shot is a fic or story that's only one chapter or doesn't have chapters. It's cool your boyfriend has long hair. All the guys at my school are idiots and are a dime a dozen. You know common. I mean sure I have guy friends, but they
make lousy boyfriends. I can see it when they're with their girlfriends. Most of them don't have one anymore because the girl broke up with him. Anyway, thanks for reviewing! Oh!! And thanks for reviewing on 'Arguments and Resolves....' !!! I like your idea but Hiei's already in prison in this fic and Kurama is trying to get him out. 00 Did you read my mind?! THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!!!

HelKatz: If you're reading this, thanks for the review on ' Arguments and resolves in the Reikai Prison Cell'!! I'm glad you liked it!!
Sliver-Kyubi: Thanks for the review!! Yeah, I'll keep writing. I draw too, but hey. My scanner hates me. I read somewhere that nothing rhymes with the word 'silver'. Do you think that's true?
Aura black chan: Again, if you're reading this, thanks for the review on 'Arguement and Resolves' ( I'm getting tired of typing the whole title.)
I'm glad you agree with me about the Daisy commercial and about Hiei dying in prison if he had to stay there. What'd you think about the sea cucumber thing? Uncalled for maybe? Or completely disgusting?
If I missed you please tell me. You're one of my reviewers so you're important to me. (That was mushy wasn't it.....)
Well, here's the third chapter!!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Cherish the Heart of the Lonely cx.3
(Two months after Hiei was sent to jail)
Kurama sighed as Yusuke sat next to him. Koenma had called them both to his office and they still had yet to find out what the young ruler wanted.
"Uh....so Yusuke, how have you been?"
"Same....."
"Oh? Well, you're welcome to my place anytime."
"Thanks....."
The doors opened and Koenma came walking through, smiling. "Yusuke, Kurama, I've called both of you here because there are those who wish to see you."
Yusuke glared. "What the hell are you talking about?"
Koenma's doors opened again, and in came Maya and Kuwabara.
Yusuke stood open mouthed as he saw his best friend. Kurama however, immediately ran to his wife. "Maya!!" Wrapping his arms around her, he burined his face on her shoulder, tears falling from his eyes.
Yusuke followed suit and ran to his grinning friend.
Koenma's smile faltered. "Kurama," he called. "I'd hate to ruin your moment with your wife, but......"
All of them turned to him with concerned frowns. Kurama walked to him. "What is it Koenma?"
Koenma sighed. "It's Hiei. He's-"
Yusuke's and Kuwabara's anger flared. "Hiei's here?!"
The two stomped off to find the yokai that they once considered a teammate. They ignored the protests that Koenma was screaming at them.
"I'm going to kill that little ass......"
" Yeah, but save a few punches for me, Urameshi!!"
"Sure."
Rounding a corner, they found Hiei's cell. "Hey you bastard!" Anger overcoming him, Yusuke punched the lock and kicked the bar door open. Grabbing Hiei by the front of his cloak, he raised him off the floor and slammed him against the wall. " You little shit!!! I can't believe that you were low enough to kill them just because you were jealous!! You selfish little asshole!!"
Hiei said nothing as Yusuke and Kuwabara glared, not noticing the arrival of the other three. "Don't have any smart remarks now, do ya shrimp."
The yokai opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was cut off by a tremor going through his body and a fit of hacking coughs that brought up blood.
Shocked, Yusuke dropped him and Hiei scrambled to the toilet. Kurama winced in sympathy for the retching yokai. "Hiei....."
Hiei looked up immediatly with blood running down his chin from his mouth. "Kurama...." he rasped. Kurama walked to him, kneeling down and putting a hand on his shoulder.
Maya frowned. "Kurama."
He turned and looked at his wife, guilt filling him slightly at her confused expression. "Yes?"
"This is our killer. Aren't you mad at him? I mean, he killed me and our baby."
Kurama was about to say something but he was interrupted by Kuwabara. "You were going to have a baby?!" Turning to Hiei, the human glared. "Bastard."
"Kuwabara and I would kill ya, but you're not even worth it. Hell's too good for you anyway, you little Forbidden Child."
Yusuke smirked as Hiei winced at the name. Maya frowned. "I expect an answer for my earlier statement."
The youko sighed. "Look Maya. I know what he did was wrong, but.....He regrets it and he did willingly accept his punishment. Aside from that he clearly needs help. I would feel horrible if he killed more inoccents and I knew I could've done something to prevent it."
Koenma cut Maya off as she opened her mouth. "Okay now, you three go wait in my office. I need to talk to Kurama. Go,go,go,go, shoo!!" He ushered Maya, Yusuke and Kuwabara out of the cell, sighing irritatedly at the broken door.
The door suddenly dissapeared and a new one replaced it. Koenma smiled sheepishly. "I forgot that Father enchanted the prison doors."
Kurama looked at Hiei and then at Koenma. "What's wrong with him?"
Sighing again, Koenma sat on the ground next to both Kurama and Hiei. "Stress."
"Stress?" Kurama repeated, eyes going wide. "Koenma, can speak to Hiei alone, please?"
Nodding, Koenma stood and walked out off the cell, closing the door behind him with a loud squeaking sound.
"Hiei, what's wrong?"
Hiei looked into his eyes, tears threatening to break free once again. " Get me out of here...." The youko frowned and shook his head. "Hiei, you know I can't do that...."
Hiei clung to him, surpressing a sob. "Don't leave me here......all alone....again...."
Sighing, the youko put an arm around the hi-yokai, trying to give some comfort. "Hiei, you'll be out of here soon. I promise. In the mean time try thinking happy thoughts."
Hiei sighed and pulled his legs up to his chest. "I have no more happy thoughts left in me, Kurama...."
Smiling slightly, Kurama sat down and chuckled. "Come on Hiei. I'm sure you have a few happy thoughts. Try thinking of some. I'll help."
"I don't-"
"Hiei, really now!!"
"Alright, alright.....hm.....happy thoughts......happy..... Yukina."
He turned so that he faced Kurama, his eyes brightening a little and expresssion becoming happier. "Yukina makes me feel-" Suddenly he stopped, eyes and expression becoming sad once again. " guilty. I feel guilty....."
Kurama frowned. "Think of another one then."
Hiei looked up at the ceiling, expression turning thoughtful. "I have a feeling that's not happy....but it's not overall sad.....it helps me calm down and think more logically about why I'm here and what I'll do when I get out. You know what, Kurama?"
"Hm."
" You're the feeling. Whenever I think of you.....I feel guilty.....but......I also feel like someone actually cares. Like I'm lucky to have you, because even through the horrible things I've done, you stay right there with me."
Kurama smiled.
"But then....I feel cold, and alone, because.....I know you don't love me in the same way I love you.......and I know once I'm allowed to be on my own again.......or even before then.....you'll fall in love with another ningen......"
The youko frowned. "Hiei......I don't think I'll fall in love again. I wouldn't be able to bear it if I did. I'd always think of Maya."
Hiei sighed, turning his back to the kitsune. "Kurama..........?"
Kurama turned as Hiei did the same. He was a bit concerned at Hiei's hesitance and sudden shyness. "Yes, Hiei?"
"....I'm really sorry....about Maya.....about Kuwabara.....about everything......"
" Oh, Hiei. I know.... I know... I just wish eveyone else could understand you."
"I know that I'm in no position to ask you such a thing but.......can you do me a favor?"
The youko smiled. "As long as you don't want me to kill someone or steal something, I'll do it."
Hiei breathed deeply as his eyes filled with tears again. "Can....can you tell....." He stopped to swallow hard then continued with his head down, "Yu- Yukina.....that...I-I'm really....sorry for....taking away her happiness.....and that......even though...." A tear slowly made its way down his face, turning into a black hiruiseki, " Even though sh-she hates me.......I'll.....I'll always....love her....no matter what......?"
Kurama put an arm around the small yokai, feeling a bit sorry for teasing him. "Of course, Hiei. Of course......."
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
That night, as Hiei lay on his pathetic excuse for a bed, another fit of lung-wrenching coughs took over him. He waited for them to be over like he usually did, but they didn't stop.
Hiei's chest was heaving from lack of oxygen, black spots starting to blur his vision. All Hiei could do was cough up blood until he passed out......
.......and somewhere a bit further away, Yukina woke up screaming.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
