Ok. I got a review for this story but the person didn't like it. But I think it's only because she didn't like yaoi. Ah, well. Thanks for taking the time out to read my story and remember…. you don't have to read it if you don't want to.

Orpheus and Eurydice

Kurama was lying on a couch in Yusuke's apartment. He wasn't as badly injured as everyone thought he was. But he did need some rest. Hiei was upset because they couldn't finish the demon and because he blames himself for Kurama getting hurt.

"Told you not to underestimate that demon." Koenma said. "You all would have been dead if I hadn't saved you."

"How are we supposed to defeat a demon that can see the future?" Yusuke asked.

"I don't know." Koenma said.

"You are absolutely no help at all!" Keiko yelled. "Kurama almost died. There must be something you can think of."

Hiei was barely hearing the argument. He was looking at Kurama who had not woken up since they got back. Hiei never realized how pretty he looked when he was sleeping. 'No. I can't be having thoughts like that.' Hiei thought to himself. Then Kurama opened his eyes.

"Hey everyone, he's waking up." Hiei said.

Everyone went over to see how he was. Hiei stood behind them all until Kurama asked for him.

"Where is Hiei?" his voice was barely above a whisper.

'He must still be really weak.' Hiei thought. Hiei walked over to Kurama again.

Kurama smiled when he saw him. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine. You shouldn't be talking though." Hiei said.

Kurama was happy for his concern. He was still really groggy so he couldn't do much. He barely heard everyone else saying how happy they were he was ok. He just wanted to see Hiei again.

Hiei was happy Kurama was ok. But he did seem different. Well, no one could blame him. He was so weak and that was so unlike him. Hiei and Kurama just sat around having a small conversation. Hiei noticed that Kurama was so weak he barely thought about what he was saying. Kind of like he was half-asleep. Hiei figured this is a good time to see what was on Kurama's mind.

"Why did you try to see if I was ok? You know I can take care of myself. You should have tried to fight off Micha. Then you wouldn't have gotten hurt." Hiei said.

Yusuke heard what Hiei asked and stopped talking. This got everyone to stop talking. This annoyed Hiei but he wanted to know Kurama's answer.

"What else can I do? I was so worried about you, Hiei. I love you so much, it was worth risking my life to see if you were ok." Kurama said.

Hiei's eyes widened. So did Kurama's. Kurama just now realized what he had said.

"I'm sorry, Hiei." Kurama said. But then a sharp pain flew into his stomach and he passed out again. Hiei was shocked. He got up and started to go to the window.

"Ok, ok Hiei." Yusuke tried to stop him. "Come on. Don't leave. We can all work this out. And we still need your help to defeat Micha."

"Call me when you need me." Hiei said. Then he was out the window.

'Stupid Fox. How could he? I don't believe this.' Hiei thought as he sat on a tree branch.

'How could he love me? We were only friends. How can I face him again?' Hiei sat there and eventually fell asleep. He had fought so many battles in his life and had overcome many things. But this was so different. Kurama was the one, true friend he and then something like this happens. 'This only proves my point that can't trust anyone.' Hiei was just going to have to wait to see how things would turn out.

Yep! There it is, Chap.2 I don't like it. But I promise Chap.3 will be better. It will. Kurama will die in that chapter and Hiei will go down to hell and save him. Wish him luck.
