Luck was not on their side as they made there way up the steep mountainside. Kurama keeping as close to Hiei as possible, watching his smaller mate like a hawk. He feared something terrible awaited them on the other side of the mountain. Something that would destroy them forever.

Reaching the top of the height cliffs as night began to fall the two demons set up camp. A child wind blew across the land whipping around them. Hiei shivered curling against Kurama, feeling the warmth of his fox. Smiling softly, the red head grinned transforming into his Youko form. Pulling Hiei onto his lap he wrapped his tail around the smaller demon. Hiei smiled contentedly Snuggling against the soft fur.

The night passed in silence and without incident but Kurama couldn't shake the feeling of doom that awaited himself and Hiei not so far away. As they travelled down the mountain, the Youko knew something awaited them at the bottom.

The snow whirled around the young pair as they stood at the base of the cliffs. Hiei shivered, his body temperature dropping by the second, which in hiyouki form was not a good thing.

Drawing the vile from within his cloak Kurama knelt before his young lover. "Here love, drink this down." Hiei looked at the small glass bottle cautiously before reaching for the bottle, he lifted it to his lips and began to drink the vile liquid that lay within it.

Bottle ripped from his hand he turned to look at the young girl standing before him. "Pretty fire, pretty ice. Pretty beauty made of life. You thought you would get away so easily. Guess again. You will pay for your betrayal. Pretty demon of the fire, die before the valley of ice." She laughed her violet eyes gleaming in the night air. "Have fun little fox, before your world comes to end." Laughing once more she vanished into the night.

A sharp pain raced through Hiei's small body, he doubled over, a gasp slipping from between his pale lips. "Hiei." Kurama said reaching over and wrapping his arms around the younger man. Lying against the Youko a shudder ran through the small demons spine.

Eyes wide in shock Kurama stared as Hiei's eyes turned from red to blue; his hair fell from its tall spike, laying flat against his head. The white starburst turned a deep sapphire blue as the two stood beneath the steadily falling snow.

Sighing as the pain began to fade from his small form, the dark haired youkai lend against his foxy lover feeling the warmth of the lean body. Smiled Kurama lifted his lover into his arms. Koenma had secured a place for the two of them to stay in until the baby was to be born.

Walking into the small cabin Kurama lay the small demon onto the bed. He knew that the transformation had not been complete, because His young lover had not drunken all of the liquid in the vile. He had not become a demon, but his firepowers had been suppressed so that the child inside him would at least be slightly safer. "Sleep well my love, and may you wake happier then when you laid your head to rest." Smiling slightly Kurama pressed a gentle kiss to his loves forehead. "Sleep well." He whispered one final time before leaving the room.
