Prologue: Words left Unsaid.
"Hiei, watch out!" cried Kurama as he watched the short youko was attacked from the back by a large demon. At first the job seemed easy enough, Yuusuke was out investigating a strange energy wave emanating from a cave on the other side of demon world, and when Koenma needed someone to stop a small rebellion in one of demon worlds smaller towns Kurama offered his services and soon after convinced Hiei to come help him, but only after promising to let him be seme. Kurama could only watch as Hiei was cut in the back by a stray demons scythe-arm. Hiei winced in pain as he quickly turned in mid-air, slicing the demon in half. Kurama quickly pulled out a seed from his hair, and turning it into a whip sliced through the remaining demons. As the last demon fell to the ground Kurama ran over to Hiei, who fallen to the ground in pain. Ripping his shirt, Kurama made some make-shift wraps as he propped up Hiei against his side and removed what little shirt was left on Hiei. Hiei turned his head to watch his kitsune bandage his wounds. As Kurama tied the last his knots he helped Hiei to his feet and guided him to the small hut in the now abandoned town. "Hnnn" grunted Hiei as Kurama placed him on a small cot in the hut. As Kurama searched the room for medicine of any kind Hiei used the last of his strength to sit up, letting out a small moan.
"Hiei, lay back down or your wound will get even worse" said Kurama, walking back over to his lovers side, laying a hand on his shoulder.
"Shut up" remarked Hiei, turning his head toward the opposite wall. Kurama's heart sank a bit as the words hit him like a punch in the gut. Kurama took his hand off Hiei's shoulder as he stood up and walked to the door. "I'm going outside to look for some medicinal plants" said a heavy-hearted Kurama as he walked out the door. As Kurama, Hiei turned to say something, but nothing could come out. Hiei dropped his head, "Why did I say that?" he asked himself, playing the last few moments in his mind. Suddenly, Hiei heard a crash outside, quickly followed by a cry of pain from Kurama. Jumping out of the bed, Hiei ran out of the hut to find where the kitsune was.
This was a short prologue to the plot. This was originally going to be a one-shot, but I decided to change the main plot a bit to stray away from the fluffish aspect.
Next Chapter Fallen Petals: When Kurama is seriously injured, Hiei must not only deal with Kurama's and his own injuries, but with the guilt of him causing them. Until next time!
