Yes this fic is mostly Hiei & Kurama. Yusuke and Koenma appear in this chapter and the whole gang is together in just a few chapters. The rest is just our love birds, but... which ones?

Chapter 7
Story… Dreams… 'Thoughts'
Kurama decided a good run followed by a swim would be just what he needed right now. If he sat around thinking of Hiei and Kuronue any longer he just might go crazy.
Just as he was preparing to leave he felt two very strong energies approaching his home. Instinctively he reached into his hair for his signature rose, only to withdraw empty handed. The ki signatures he sensed were those of friends not enemies. He didn't bother to call off the plants guarding their master's home, as they knew these visitors were welcome.
He smiled as Yusuke came into view but it faded when he saw Koenma. Anxious, he ran to them. "Where is Hiei? What did you with him? Is he alright?"
Koenma was surprised at the greeting. "As far as I know, he's fine. Isn't he here with you?"
The Youko was concerned, if Koenma was here, where was Hiei. "No, he went to see you."
Koenma sighed in relief. "Well, that stupid blue Ogre will tell him I'm here and he'll be back soon. This is probably better anyway, now I can give you the information he asked for and be out of here before Hiei and his dragon get back."
Kurama seemed to calm down once he knew Hiei was all right. "No Koenma. Hiei made it very clear he wanted to be with me when I hear what you have found out, and I intend to honor my mate's wishes."
Just then Kurama felt Hiei's ki, turned, ran and pounced him. Hiei, experienced with the Youko's pounce, braced himself, but still ended up on his back being kissed and licked by his excited fox. "Koibito, I was worried, when Koenma…"
Hiei pushed Kurama off of him, flitted to Koenma and grabbed him by the collar. "What did you tell my fox! If you hurt him…"
"YUSUKE! HELP! You're here to protect me, so protect me already." Koenma could barely choke out the plea.
The former spirit detective couldn't hold his laughter. "Ha ha ha…I don't know binkie boy, the red face and bulging eyes is a good look on you."
Yusuke allowed Hiei a moment of fun before stepping in. "Hey Hiei, it's alright. Do you really think I would let him do anything to hurt Kurama?"
Jealous, the fire demon turned on his former teammate. "You stay away from my fox!"
Yusuke put his hands up. "Yo, man wait a minute, I'm on your side remember? Did you forget I'm the one that helped you get him back?"
Kurama rushed to Hiei when he saw Kuronue's jealousy rear it's head. "Hiei-Koi, everything's alright. They got here just before you did and I wouldn't let Koenma say anything till you got back."
The Youko nuzzled his mate's neck. "Sweetheart, I know you want to know first but please let me stay. There is nothing he can say that will hurt me as long as you're with me. Please, Hiei?"
Hiei put one arm around Kurama winding his other hand in long silver hair. "Foxie, there are a few things I haven't told you…"
Kurama, smiled at the nickname as he placed a finger on Hiei's lips. "Shhh. I know, it's okay. I've figured some of it out on my own. Let's let Koenma tell us the rest together, no more secrets."
The fire demon nodded reluctantly, holding his fox closer to him. "Thank you Firefly. Let's all go inside, I made some fresh juice earlier."
The group made their way into the tree house. Everyone made themselves comfortable on the cushions around the low table. Kurama served the juice then settled himself close to his mate to await what Koenma had to say.
