Hey there! I know the end of the last chapter sucked. I'm sorry. Nothing much after that happened so don't freak. They didn't do it or anything … yet.

Anyway, before I forget, I have to recommend some stories. If you haven't read EnteralSorrow's fanfic "A Different Meeting" (a very good Hellsing story), and Yami Yue's series (about ten stories that are sequels to each other -- KxH) well … READ IT!

DISCLAIMER: All the YYH characters belong to Yoshihiro Togashi.

-Chapter Eight

Hiei's POV-

A wave of pleasure hit as Kurama's soft hand caressed my now bare chest. I had barely noticed that he pulled it off. Either way, I wasn't paying attention. I was focusing on making Kurama whimper. Gently, my first two fingers moves in slow circles on his inner thigh.

I succeeded. Hearing the quiet sounds of Kurama whining against my lips was the perfect reward. Wrapping one arm around my neck, Kurama pulled me down closer to him; while one hand still wandered my body. I offered him easier access by leaning down against him.

All was fine, until my hand rested on his side as I leaned down. I sat up quickly as I heard the fox beneath me cry out in pain. Realizing that I was putting pressure on one of his wounds, I smacked myself; mentally and physically.

"Kurama! Are you alright!"

Slowly, he nodded, "H-hai, H-Hiei. I-I'll be alright."

But after his sentence he started a coughing fit; small droplets of blood appearing on his lips and chin. Grabbing my shirt, I wiped away the crimson spots. Rushing to the bathroom for a cup of water.

Sitting up, Kurama took tiny sips of the water. Pausing to swallow cautiously, in hope not to start coughing again. Unfortunately, our efforts were in vain. Patting his back, I tried to help him calm down; though I really had no idea how to stop one from coughing.

After a few minutes he calmed down. Laying back down against the pillow, Kurama closed his eyes. It wasn't long before his breathes became long and even.

I was about to leave the room when I heard him mumble my name. Walking back to him, I lightly touched his shoulder.

"Fox?"

"… Hiei …"

Letting a smile appear on my features, I climbed onto the bed. Laying down I gently pulled him into my embrace. He slid his arms around my waist and nuzzled my chest. I couldn't help but smile wider.

Kurama always looked like an angel when he slept. I would know, I've watched him sleep several times … not that he'd ever find out about that.

Kurama's POV-

I could feel myself being pulled into a deep sleep; but I didn't want to be alone.

"… Hiei …"

"Fox?" came Hiei's deep voice.

"… Hiei …" That's all I was able to say. I knew my efforts didn't go in vain when I felt a shift in weight on my bed. Wrapping my arms around his waist, I sighed happily, and cuddled up to Hiei.

As long as Hiei was right here by my side, nothing could harm me; even my dreams.

I awoke by someone shaking my shoulder. Groggily I opened my eyes to find beautiful crimson orbs staring back at me. He looked concerned; almost … scared. Sitting up, I gently touched his cheek.

"What's wrong, Hiei?" I whispered. (A/N: Remember, Kurama can barely talk right now because of his throat wound. While he's healing he'll mostly be talking to Hiei through telepathy but sometimes even the Great Kurama gets stupid and forgets about his wounds.)

"You've been out cold for hours. You were thrashing around like someone was strangling you. Did … did you have another nightmare?"

I blinked. /I was? I honestly don't recall having a dream, actually./

The small fire apparition almost fell over. He sweatdropped. /You don't recall having a dream/

/Well, yes. I guess I was too tired to have one. Maybe the dream Hiei couldn't hurt me because you, the real Hiei, was right next to me. Thank Inari./

I could of sworn I saw a slightest hint of a blush on his cheeks, but maybe I was mistaken. Coughing, he tried his best not to look flustered. It was rather adorable how he tried but failed miserably.

He rose a delicate brow. /What are you looking at, fox/

/Oh, nothing. Just a certain demon right in front of me./ I smirked, he blushed again.

I decided he was just too shy to do anything, and since it was clear he wasn't appalled by my feelings for him, I pulled on Hiei's shirt. Bringing his lips to mine. I smiled into the kiss when I felt him return it with equal passion.

Slowly, we parted for much needed air; both of us panting. I whispered, "Why aren't you pulling away?"

For about the second time in my life, I witnessed a true smile grace his lips. "Because, baka, I feel the same way as you."

My eyes widened, "You mean you …?"

He nodded, "Yes, Kurama. I love you."

I could feel tears of joy filling my eyes; I didn't try to stop them from flowing. "Inari, Hiei. You have no idea who long I've wanted you to say that. I love you so much."

Smirking, Hiei gently flipped us; so I was laying on top of him. I was surprised I wasn't hurting him, but he didn't seem to mind at all. Putting his hand on my chin, Hiei pulled me down to his lips. We switched passionate kisses and each one became more heated. My tongue made its way into Hiei's mouth, battling with his.

"Am I interrupting something?"

Both of us jumped as the sound of a voice that wasn't ours. The pathetic part, was that I fell off the bed. While thanking Inari that I landed on my bottom and not my stomach, I looked up to find Yukina.

Scrambling from the floor, I sat on the edge of my bed. Trying to calm my hair, that was wild from the last moment's event, and looked up at Yukina.

"Um, no. You weren't interrupting. Why are you here?"

"I asked her to come telepathically to check your wounds."

"Oh, alright."

Hiei's POV-

About an hour later, Yukina had examined all of Kurama's wounds and healed them as much as her powers allowed. Now, he was able to move around almost completely free. But he still needed to take it slow. At the present moment, the said fox was taking a shower.

I guess Yukina took that time as an advantage, since she came over and smiled her innocent but not so innocent smile at me.

I gulped. I knew I was in for it now.

Yukina's POV-

Oh, poor, poor, Hiei. Ever since I figured out he was my brother, I've been planning for just a little revenge. Hey, I've known him for five years and yet he never once told me. Keeping a secret like that is going to cost him; even if it was so "protect" me from the Forbidden Child.

"Hm, Hiei? You've been doing well I presume?"

He looked up at me, trying his best to put his cold stare on … let's just say he's failing … miserably.

"Huh, y-yeah! I've been fine. W-why do you ask?"

I rolled my eyes, followed by a smirk, "Hiei, Hiei, Hiei. You know you can't hide anything from me, don't you? I'm your sister … twin sister. I thought us siblings told each other anything and everything! Especially since we have such a connection.

I could see Hiei gulp. Hmn, this was going to be quite fun.

Hiei's POV-

Ooooh crap-shit. She's got that look in her eyes again. I'm so screwed.

I sweapdropped. Since when did I talk like that! God damn it. I have been around the idiots too long.

Sighing, I complied, "Well aren't we the observant one?" Okay, so I kind of, sort of complied.

"Brother, you know what I mean. There's obviously something going on between you and Kurama … unless you're just reacting to your horny, male demon instincts to mate," she said as she raises an eyebrow and then continued, "But, neither of you are in heat! So, what's your excuse?"

Shit.

She got me.

I released a heavy sigh. "Hai, Yukina. I-I care for Kurama … a lot." I finished looking down at my feet. I could feel a blush come to my cheeks, and cursed my weakness for the fox.

Yukina's POV-

Shaking my head, I walked over to my small, brother-counter-part. "Hiei," I began. "First of all … it's pretty damn obvious that you love Kurama."

He seemed to be surprised by this, since he looked as if a Makai bee just stung his ass.

"And second, I'm your sister. All I want is for you to be happy. I mean, that's the only reason why you haven't killed Kuwabara yet, correct? Because I'm happy with him." I could vaguely hear a mumble of agreement, so I continued. "Hiei, I don't care if you love a male, female, or a mix if that's possible! As long as you can be with the one that makes you happy … I'm happy."

It took him a moment to register all that I said but finally looked up. For the first time since he told me he was my brother, Hiei looked … relieved.

"Thank you, Yukina," he mumbled. "That means a lot to me."

I could see Hiei was still embarrassed, so I pulled him into a loving hug. At first he tensed, but then relaxed. After a while he pulled away with a smirk on his face.

"But, if Kuwabaka ever tries something I swear he'll meet with my katana till there's nothing left of him." 1

I sweatdropped. Well, I suppose he had to recover his dignity somehow.

A/N: 1- I've read plenty of fanfics where they make fun of Kuwabara by calling him this and I couldn't help but put that in. Also, I know that Yukina is usually an innocent, dense little ice demon that everyone just has to love, but c'mon, that's boring. Besides, I had to get Hiei provoked somehow! Please review and I'll tell me how you like it so far!
