A/n: Hey, I'm back. Took a look at reviews and must say it's much better. Thank You! And don't go panicking people, this story is far from over. We've still got a few more chapters plus TWO sequels that I have planned. So get yourselves ready, and here is the next chapter.

And just a little sidebar, I haven't quite said who the evil man was just yet. Believe, you guys will either slap me or send me cyber cookies when you find out who it is.

Warnings and Disclaimer: Yaoi (Male/Male relationships) Mention of rape.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. I own nothing in this story. HintHint people. There are no original characters in this fic.

Kurama yawned and snuggled further into the soft, warm sheets with no intention of waking up just yet. He hadn't gotten such a good nights sleep in ages. He sighed, still confident that he could get back to sleep. He'd had the most wonderful dream that he and Yusuke had made up…

A wave of sadness filled him. Like that could ever happen. Yusuke would probably hate him forever now.

He sighed sadly and snuggled further into the sot blankets, and was met with an unexpected sound. But it was pleasant, like the soft steady beating of a drum. It was a slow steady rhythm that was very calming to him; someone's heart? And he felt movement.

Why was his bed moving?

Despite his collected and intellectual mind during the day, he, like any normal teenager, wasn't at his best early in the morning. It was true that he perhaps was in a better state of mind than most people at this time of day, but he was still kind of slow and it took a few moments for his mind to process what was going on.

A few seconds passed and he came to the conclusion that his bed was indeed not moving, but there was in fact someone else in there with him. But who?

He felt something. Someone gently scratching behind his ears. He moaned and leaned closer to the touch. Even though he was in his human form, it still had the same affect as it would if they were fox ears. It was his weak spot that not too many knew. Kuronue had known it from the time when they were together, Hiei knew as well, and the final person, whom he came to the conclusion was with him at this moment, was Yusuke.

Giving up his attempt to go back to sleep, he let his eyes flutter open and looked up into Yusuke's eyes. He smiled down at him. "Good morning," he said softly.

"Hmm…" was the only thing that came out of Kurama's mouth and he wrapped his arms around Yusuke's waist. He sighed and let his head rest against his chest.

"You okay?" he asked slowly.

"Yeah," he said, knowing what he was talking about. "I will be anyway."

"Good. So get up. It's time to wake up for real."

Kurama made an annoyed sound in the back of his throat. "I don't wanna."

Yusuke chucked. "You hafta. It's almost noon."

The other sighed. "Fine," he said, although still showed no intention of getting up. Then he suddenly stiffened. "Did you say its noon?"

He looked at him confused. "Yeah… So what's the big…"

"DAMNIT!"

Yusuke blinked. Kurama wasn't the type of person to have a potty mouth… Or launch himself out of bed and run around his room like a mad man trying to get dressed. A split second later he grabbed Yusuke by the arm and dragged him out of bed and out the house, barely stopping to put on their shoes first.

"Kurama, what…"

But he wasn't exactly listening but kept on running at the speed of light, muttering under his breath, "Damnit, Kurama. They give you one job. One job!" He came to s sudden stop in front of Keiko's house/restaurant of all places. "Wait here," he said breathlessly before slamming the door on him, leaving his standing dumbfounded on the doorstep.

"Uh…"

The door swung open and he was met with a chorus of "SURPRISE!"

He blinked. "O-kay then…"

"Come on Yusuke, don't tell me you forgot it was your birthday," Keiko said.

"Yeah, well. It was kind of an eventful night."

Kuwabara grinned and put an arm over his shoulders in a friendly manner. "Oh, I get it. So Kurama gave you his present early, huh?" he whispered so only he could hear. He laughed.

Yusuke laughed along with him before hitting him over the head. "I'd shut up if I were you," he said, clearly annoyed.

"Okay…" he said, slightly out of it from the hit.

Yusuke quickly let himself get into the party. Keiko's parents had prepared a buffet of his favorite foods and there was some music playing in the background. The usual crowd was there plus Genkai, and Koenma was also supposed to stop by later. While he was talking to his friends, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

He looked at Kurama who motioned to the corner where Hiei was standing by himself, staring intently at the wall.

"I'll be right back," he whispered.

Yusuke smiled and nodded. "Go ahead."

Kurama smiled and walked over to his friend. Hiei glanced up at him for a moment before returning to staring at the wall.

"Kurama," he said tonelessly.

"Hi Hiei," he said casually.

"Hn."

They stood there in silence for a while before Hiei spoke quietly. "I'm sorry."

Kurama looked at him. He wasn't looking at him and looked like he was trapped.

"For what?"

"For breaking my promise. For telling Yusuke."

Kurama smiled, "I'm not mad Hiei."

"Then why did my flower die?"

"What?"

Hiei reached into his pocked and pulled put a wilted blue and white flower. It was no longer sparkling like before, like it was supposed to. Kurama knelt down in front of Hiei so he was at eye level and ran his fingers over the flower, bringing it back to life.

Hiei looked at it before handing it back to Kurama with a sad smile on his face. "You're cheating."

He shook his head and placed it back in Hiei's hand. "I'm not," he said honestly before leaning in and gave him a small kiss on the cheek and hugged him. Hiei's eyes widened and a blush could be seen on his face.

"Thank you for telling him, you little blabber mouth," he said, and stood up.

Hiei didn't say anything, but only placed the flower back in his cloak pocket.

The party went on through the day and a few hours after the sun set it was starting to come to a close. There was no food left, people had had their fun dancing and talking, Yusuke had opened all of his gifts and everyone was getting ready to leave. As a few people waved goodbye, Yusuke looked at Kurama.

"You know, you never gave me anything."

"Oh, um…"

"Here," cam a voice and something was dropped in Yusuke's hand. "Happy Birthday, Yusuke," Hiei said before disappearing out the door.

Yusuke looked down to see a beautiful gold locket that had, of course, a rose shaped clasp and looked like there were thorns wrapped around it. He opened it and there was a picture of Kurama on one side and on the other, himself. He could also faintly hear a little tune coming from it. He held it up to his ear to hear the song and grinned.

"Thanks Kurama." He leaned forward and kissed him.

"Your welcome," he said when they broke apart.

"Yusuke," came a familiar voice. The two looked to see Koenma (in his teenage form) with Hiei behind him. "Could I talk to you two?" he asked with a nervous voice. He sounded, not to mention looked trapped, like a man who was walking into his inevitable doom.

Yusuke did not have a good feeling about this.

A/n: That's it for this chapter. I know I left a few loose ends in this whole story, but I promise it will all be resolved/explained in the end, from the name of the person who raped Kurama to the song playing from the locket.

So until next time!
