Chapter 3
It was almost midnight; Hiei went back into the clearing to find Karasu. "Hey! Get out here!" There was no answer. Hiei held his side and yelled out again, but this time he coughed out blood. "Karasu!!! Get the Hell out here Damn it!!" Karasu appeared right in front of Hiei who did not flinch. * Damn you* Karasu's face twisted.
" I thought I told you to have the job done tonight?" Hiei spit on Karasu's shoe.
"Heh, perhaps you didn't hear me when I said no. Besides Kurama wouldn't be happy about his mother's death. He'll kill you." Karasu just laughed.
"Nice speech. But it seems that you let your guard down." Karasu had chanted out a spell on Hiei under his breath while Hiei was unaware, so he is not to go anywhere.
"What? What is this?" Hiei struggled but he could not move. Karasu walked slowly towards Hiei.
" I guess I have no choice then. I didn't think I d be using this technique on you Hiei." Karasu put his mouth to Hiei's as a dark orb entered his body. Karasu pulled away as Hiei's body began to jerk and twitch.
"What the Hell did you do to me?!" Karasu snickered as Hiei's words just became gibberish, then mumbles. Hiei had lost his voice. Karasu gave out a light laugh. He then went so close to Hiei' face that he could see every detail in his eyes.
"I know this will work. And I told you that you were going to do as you're told." Hiei's eyes widened. His eyes looked as if he had been drunk. "Hm, I see that everything is going good. My technique is working faster than I thought. Oh, and if you think that your rib cage has no more pain, don't be so happy. This dark orb will eat you from the inside out when Imp finished with you." Hiei's vision had become one big blur. He couldn't make out the shape of anything around him even though he tried. "He, he, he. So, Hiei, how does it feel? Does it hurt inside?" Karasu rubbed his hand around Hiei's face. "Does it hurt inside your heart?" Hiei's eyes began to close as he heard Karasu's voice in the darkness. "Well, we will see what happens tomorrow night. Although, with your injury, who knows how long you'll last."

It was the weekend; Kuwabara and Yusuke were walking around the neighborhood. Kuwabara's face tightened, "Yeah! And then he left me there at the pound!" Yusuke laughed aloud so the whole world could hear.
"Ha ha ha!! I bet you're still alive because they thought you tasted funny!"
" Hey! Shut up Urameshi! I bet I taste a whole lot better than you do!" Yusuke stopped. "Hey, what's going on Yusuke?"
" Hey Kuwabara.." Kuwabara knew something was wrong. Yusuke's voice was very serious.
" Hm? What is it Urameshi?" Yusuke looked up to the sky.
"I need you to do me a big favor." Kuwabara nodded. He thought it must be something important if Yusuke's face was the way it was.
"Sure Urameshi. Tell me, what do you need?" Yusuke turned to Kuwabara, and looked him in the eyes.
"Can you..." Kuwabara nodded. "...get me some dog food?" Yusuke busted out laughing as Kuwabara chased him around town.
" Urameshi!!!!!! I'm gonna kick your ass!!!"

Kurama's family had come home the night before. He was helping his mother unpack the groceries. "Oh, Suichii. You're helpful around the house. Thank you Suichii." Kurama looked at her and smiled.
"No problem mother, its no trouble at all." After they put everything away his mom relaxed on the sofa. Kurama took out the trash. His mom looked at him with all the love a mother could give.
" Get some rest Suichii. You helped me the whole day. Its already 8:30 and I need to make dinner. Ill wake you when it's ready." Kurama nodded.
"Thank you mother. I love you." Kurama went up stairs to his room so he could rest.
" I love you too Suichii." She went to kitchen to look for stuff to cook.
* * * *
Hiei was a few trees away from Kurama's house. "I can't do this. I can't speak, and I can't run away from my problems, even if I wanted to." Hiei's body leaped towards Kurama's house for him. "Damn you Karasu." He saw Kurama undressing to change into his pajamas. Hiei couldn't look away. He saw Kurama's bare muscular chest. Kurama was just about to take off his jeans when he heard a knock at the window.
"Hm?" It was Hiei. Kurama's face turned a bright red as he quickly buttoned his pants back up. "Hiei what are you doing here?" Kurama opened the window to let Hiei inside.
" Fool, don't do this. Don't let me in." Hiei knew exactly what was happening so far. He knew what Karasu was planning to do. Hiei glared at Kurama with cold hard eyes as his mouth opened to speak, " Follow me Kurama." Kurama followed him out of his window.
" What's going on Hiei? What is this all about?" Hiei kept on running. He led him to the deepest part of the forest. Hiei stood in the middle of the clearing of the forest. He turned around to look at the fiery redhead. Hiei signaled Kurama to come to him. "What is it Hiei? Did you need something in particular?" Kurama was totally clueless to what was going on.
" Kurama, I have something to confess to you." Kurama looked at Hiei with a smile.
" Yes? What is it?" Kurama stood in front of Hiei waiting for his reply.
" Kurama." His words were coming out smoothly. " I love you." Kurama's smile faded as his face turned to shock. Was he serious? Did Hiei, the one he's been best friends with for years, love him? Kurama just stood there and looked into the youkai's eyes.
"Hiei, I." Kurama paused. "Ive been waiting to tell you that.." Kurama tried to get the words out. At that, Hiei pounced onto Kurama sending him flying to the forest floor. "H-Hiei.." Hiei cut off Kurama's sentence with what seemed to be a passionate kiss. Hiei put a lot of pressure to Kurama's lips. Kurama mumbled something. But the kiss demanded no sound. Hiei pulled their lips apart slowly. " What is this? I don't get it. Does he truly love me? Ive only thought of him as a friend.not a lover." Kurama looked into Hiei's eyes. They looked different. They didn't have that usual 'I'm gonna kill you' look. Hiei slowly put his arms up Kurama's shirt feeling around his torso.
"Kurama. I realized something." Kurama just gave a moan of pleasure as Hiei's hands searched his body. Hiei then lied on top of Kurama's body, putting his head on Kurama's chest. " You are the one who I will love." Kurama couldn't believe the words he was hearing.
" Hiei, you don't really mean that."
"Oh, but I do." Hiei crawled up Hiei's body and whispered in his ears. "And your mother." Kurama's eyes widened as he sat up.
"What?"
" Your mother is also mine for the taking." Kurama stood up pushing Hiei off of him.
"What are you talking about? What about my mother?" Hiei gave out a laugh.
" Oh, you will see." Hiei jumped into the air and disappeared. Kurama looked around.
"Hiei?" He began to run towards his house. " Don't worry I'm coming mother." Kurama panted as he kicked his front door open to see his unconscious mother in the arm of Hiei. "Mother! Hiei. what do you think you're doing?"
"Ha ha ha! Fool!" Hiei fell to his knees as his mother floated in the air. Hiei clutched at his stomach in pain. He coughed out at least a cup of blood. Kurama gasped at the horrible sight as he ran to his aid.
"Hiei, are you alright?" Hiei glared at him like Kurama had never seen before. Hiei looked at him like he was going to eat him. "Hiei?" Hiei then stood up and threw Kurama across the room, sending him out of the house through a window. There was blood stained glass everywhere as Kurama stood up holding his right arm. "Hiei, what's wrong with you?" Hiei held Kurama's mother in his arms.
" Heh. She belongs to me now." Hiei took out his sword and put it up to her neck.
"No Hiei. You wouldn't." Hiei put his mouth to Kurama's moms neck and gave it a good lick up to her chin.
" Oh, but I would." The moon was not full that night, as it shown through the broken glass window. Kurama saw the light of the moon shine on Hiei.
"Hiei, please."
"Ha! Why don't you come and get her?" Kurama knew if he tried Hiei would slit her throat. Kurama squinted his eyes as he looked at the light shining onto Hiei.
"What's this?" Kurama could see small thin strands that looked like thread clinging on the Hiei's neck, arms, back, and legs. The moons light made it so that he could barley see it. Kurama looked at Hiei closely. "Hiei." Kurama looked round the room. "Who is doing this!? Come out!" Hiei put on a big grin on his face.
" What are you talking about?" Kurama did not look amused one bit. Did he take him for a fool?
" I know this isn't you Hiei. I demand you come out NOW!" Hiei's grin widened.
"My, my. Aren't you smart?" Out of nowhere a figure in shadow appeared behind Hiei. Kurama squinted as to make out who it was. Kurama gasped.
" Karasu!!!"
