Hehe, so my pretties … are you confused yet? You should be. So far, that was my favourite chapter. And when I'm typing this, I'm almost done with chapter four. Or … this chapter. I'll try to finish soon and start on chapter five. I looked back at all the chapters and noticed how short they are. I know, I'M SORRY! But I have trouble making long chapters. I can make thousands of short ones though! So, that's just going to have to do!

-Chapter Four
Kurama's POV-
A glaring light shook me from my deep sleep. Blinking the different coloured stops from my eyes, I figured out it was morning. I glared back at the semi-open blinds that let sun light seep through.
Propping myself up on my elbows, I took in my surroundings.
I'm still in my room.
Sitting up, pain shot up my side.
"Hn, baka fox."
Slightly jumping, I turned toward the sound. There lying all curled up at the edge of the bed, was Hiei. I had to smile. Never in a million years would I see this sight. But there it was.
Do I have to wake him? No, I will let him rest.
With that, I carefully laid a blanket on top of the sleeping Hiei. As I stared, I became entranced. Slowly, I swept a piece of his hair away from his face. He looked so innocent when he sleeps; so adorable.
I wonder if he sleep-talks often.
I giggled. And I thought I had this fire koorime all figured out.
The next thing I knew, two crimson eyes were staring at me. I jumped back to the head of my bed, hand over my heart.
"Of all the three worlds, Hiei! Don't scare me like that! You could of given me a heart attack!"
Hiei just crossed his arms. "Hn. Worthless ningen body."
I rolled my eyes. Fine, if he was going to be like this, I'd go elsewhere in the house. After all, my parents and younger brother left at six in the morning for the airport for America. I'd have the entire house for an entire two weeks.
As I stood from my bed, I stretched my arms above my head while yawning. Staggering back, hands on my side, I remembered all that happened the night before.
The dream … the wound … the kiss … Hiei.
My breath caught as the scene replayed countlessly in my mind. I still remember the way it felt to have Hiei wrap his arms around my body, and to be able to taste his lips at last.
Hiei's POV-
I stared at the strange acting fox as he put a hand lightly on his lips. He had this, dazed expression on his face and … was he blushing!
Shutting my eyes and shaking my head, I prayed I was merely going insane. Reopening my eyes, I released a heavy sigh.
Well, there was good … and bad news.
The good news is that I'm not insane.
The bad news is that I'm not insane.
There stood Kurama in the same odd state.
I coughed, causing the red-head to jerk and turn to me. He blinked away the flush on his face.
"Y-yes, Hiei?"
I snorted. "Are you back to your normal self yet? It's rather creepy seeing you blush like a giddy school girl, Kurama."
Kurama's POV-
I gaped at the koorime. Why was he being so cold and heartless? He's just standing there, practically glaring at me. Just like when we first became partners. What happened to the Hiei from last night? I fixed my composure and answered, "Yes, Hiei." Then, I turned on my heels, my hair wiping around with me, I stomped off out of the room into the bathroom. Slamming the door behind me.
Why didn't he ask me about my wound? He didn't even look at it. Wait, my stomach, it's bandaged. Hiei must of taken care of me after I passed out and watched over me. That must have been why he was asleep on my bed.
Slowly and carefully, I untied the knot of the cloth and unwrapped it. But stopped at the end when I noticed. The end of the cloth had been glued down to my flesh by the blood. If I pulled it off slowly or quickly, it would reopen it. I groaned, and to think I had already bled enough. Well, here goes nothing.
Grabbing as close to the edge I could, I squeezed my eyes shut and held my breath. Then … pulled.
I must of screamed, because Hiei busted open the door not .5 seconds later. Though I wouldn't of known if I had, I blocked everything out when I yanked off the bandage. Feeling a warm sensation , I looked down at my side. Deep crimson blood was oozing out. I cringed. This had to be the worst looking wound I had ever received.
"You idiot! What did you do that for!" Hiei cried.
I blink at him, astonished. Did Hiei actually show fear and concern? "Well, sorry, Hiei. But I had to get it off so I could disinfect it!"
Taking out the first aid kit, I grabbed a few dozen cotton balls and the bottle of rubbing alcohol. Dunking a ball into the bottle, I lightly patted the gash. Wincing each and every time. I realized how deep it actually was, surprised that my internal organs were not damaged.
About an hour and five hundred cotton balls later, I had cleaned my wound and rewrapped it. Hiei had sat quietly on the toilet seat the whole time.
That's why it startled me so when he spoke. "Who attacked you?"
I blinked at him. "What do you mean?"
He huffed, "Who injured you, baka fox?"
"To be honest, I don't know. I'm not even sure how I received this wound. All I remember is having a nightmare then, pain."
"What nightmare?" Hiei asked while raising an eyebrow.
I could tell my face was flushed. Oh yeah, Hiei. I had a dream where you were trying to seduce me turned into a nightmare and you killed me. Right, like that would sit with him well. When I looked back at the fire youkai , his eyes showed frustration. When I saw his forehead begin to glow, I started to panic.
"Uh, it was just a nightmare! Just one of those human traits. It was nothing!" I answered while laughing nervously. 'Oh crap. I am so dead now. I can tell he didn't believe me, especially when I just had to start laughing. Damn human emotions.'
But all Hiei did was his usual 'hn', that would mean 'whatever' in this case … I think.
Hiei's POV-
The fox said something about having a nightmare before getting the wound. I wonder what it was about. I tried to use my jagan eye but Kurama stopped me with his spirit energy. I'll let it drop … for now. So Kurama will think I won't pressure him, then while he's thinking about it, I'll just simply read his mind. Hmm, I didn't think it would be this easy to outwit the cunning fox.
A odd fumbling sound grabbed me from my thoughts. Kurama came fumbling out of the bathroom, fighting with his shirt. I smirked. The fox looked ridiculous … but cute. Having bandages on your stomach does make it difficult to put on clothing.
Striding over, I took the cloth in my hands. "Bend down."
Confusion written over Kurama's face, but did as told. He went to one knee and rose his arms in the air. He looked like he was about to bow over-dramatically, like you see in old movies. I chuckled softly, and slid the shirt over his red locks and guided his arms through the sleeve holes.
The fox then took his hands behind his head, sweeping his locks free from the shirt. I had to pinch myself to keep from staring. Kurama in boxers and a tank top that showed off his mid-drift was definitely something to look at. Turning my back to him, I quickly removed the saliva from my chin.
