First, to all you kind reviewer people:

Wow, you're a lot like me. It's kinda funny, before I read your review, I was considering adding some KuramaxBotan in there; possibly HieixBotan.I love those pairing to death, as I do KuramaxHiei, YuusukexKurama, HieixKurama, BotanxKurama HieixBotan ect. Hiei and Kurama are such pairable people? Aren't they? I love oc too, but I'm always concerned that I'm going to make a mary-sue, which I despise to death and hate with a fiery passion. Plus, I already think I did that in my last fanfic with an oc in it. I am so glad that you'll be waiting for me to update, and I really appreciate your kind review. Arigatou gozaimasu!

kikira-san

Yay! I'm dedicated. And thanks for the compliment, all you reviewers are all so kind! Don't all yaoi writers hate flames, lol. I could gripe all day, but I'll save it for my own journal where other people don't have to see it, lol. Thanks again.

BlackRoseVixen05

Yayers! Another complement, I'm so happy that so many people are reviewing. I've never had near this many reviews in the first week before, so I can't thank you enough.

lunarprincessyunaleska

Thank yous for the compliment. I see that you're new, and I know how you feel. Hey, everyone's new at one point, and EVERY user here can relate to each other in one way, for me, it is definitely the feeling of being new. It took me a year to get the courage to post on here and I didn't know what to do or say in reviews. I'm really hoping to see one of your stories, so I'll keep an eye out. As for the spelling mistake, Karasu, I can't believe I typed it. I am an absolute, name spelling wrong hater. That's my mistake though, I still can't believe I did that.

Lol

wow, what a coincidence! I like the Hiei/Kurama pairing too! Lol, thanks a lot for reviewing, and if you get the time, please review again!

Lady Rainrin

Wow! So many nice reviewers! It must be my lucky day! Anyways, I really appreciate your compliments. it's so motivating, and it really makes my day. So, thanks!

Kuranga108

Wow! My stories interesting too! Yayers! I liked putting switching in between Kurama and Hiei's actions at the time, it was a lot of fun in a way. So, I'm glad you liked that part. What I'm hoping that I'm doing, is keeping them pretty much in character, I really try to scrutinize the character's details and actions before I put it up. Ooc is fun at times, but not in large doses, lets just say. I enjoyed writing the dream sequence too. Indeed, writing is a very fun task for me. At first, I was just going to make it some random freak. But then, I was thinking about Karsu as well, and I thought it would be cool to incorporate him. You'll find out more about that in this chapter, I am glad that it's unique, because that way the view I was aiming for, 'Unique and different' I'm glad you liked it either ways and thanks for reviewing, as goes for all my other reviewers. Kurama's fear of other people... hmmm tries to think what it's called, fails Oh well. Do you know there's such a thing as Japanaphobia? I'm sure you can guess what that is. There's things like derntraphobia, acrophobia or hypsaphobia, arachnidphobia, aquaphobia, and stuff like that. There's also other stuff I don't remember the names of like fear of death, of blood, of flowers, ect. Well, I'm babbling, let's get back on subject.

Read on with the fanfic, yeas you will! Enjoy!

Warning all you yaoi hater people, there will be yaoi, HieixKurama. As I said in my previous chapter, you aren't obligated to read this, and should only read if you don't mind that they're paired together. Torture and the possibility of rape or either implied rape comes in later chapters. This is not going to be a happy fic all you happy campers(Until the end) So all you happy campers go back to happy camp along with the yaoi haters.

Chapter 2: A misson for Hiei: An enemy revistied

Hiei shook the rain off as he walked through the streets. People bustled to and fro in the streets, stopping to glance at Hiei before shivering slightly at the bully-like expression that easily implied 'Stay out of my way, and I won't hurt you', before hurrying off in the opposite direction, extremely flustered. Hiei glowered at the unwanted attention, running into some people and hning as he stormed towards a local restaurant, named 'Yama wa sora-de' Before he entered he noticed a pale and quiet Kurama staring fearfully over from his spot across the street. When Hiei spotted the redhead, he glared with the utmost hatred, causing much intimidation on Kurama's behalf. Hiei was not often one to take well to someone if they'd made a bad first impression, Kurama had fallen into that sort of category. Hiei gave Kurama a death glare, before storming into the restaurant and slamming the door shut behind him. Kurama tried to keep his composure successfully, but he still felt as if Hiei was able to sense his fears, sort of in the way people said that dogs could smell fear. That was ludicrous, though, an idiosyncrasy. After brushing the thought from his mind, he continued to walk.

Kurama had proceeded to the bank. His thoughts lingered back on those cold crimson eyes that instilled extreme fear into those who had glance into their depths. He sighed and proceeded to the back, walking with a brisk and quiet pace to the ATM machine. After hi parents died those many years ago, he'd inherited an old ATM card that had once belonged to his parents, they'd had a lot of money in their account, and he was using it until he could get a good job around town. He was promised a good spot at the working at a veterinarian's office when he turned eighteen in three years. Withdrawing the money he needed for today's shopping, he walked in the direction of the town market, careful to watch where he walked. When reached the market, he grabbed what he needed. Normal stuff such as a pack of rice, shampoo and soap, instant ramen, ingredients to make beef teriyaki, fired rice, and such/((an: Mmmm, beef teriyaki, fried rice and mushrooms yum! dodges rock Okay! I'll shut up!)) and a little bit of fish to cook. He did remember to grab cold medicine before he left, sneezing successfully a few times before he left the store.

The shadowy figure sat in the restaurant, glaring down at the table in front of him, thinking the past few days out in his head. All of this annoyed the fire demon to a large extent. All the people here were annoying and it would NOT. STOP. RAINING. A cheerful waitress appeared beside the table and smiled, giving a cheerful greeting before asking how she could be of service. Hiei glared, gave a hn, when he ordered soup. He went back to glaring at the table. "I'll be right with you!" the waitress replied cheerfully. How Hiei hated that tone, it made him want to wretch, this town wasn't leaving a nice impression, everyone was slowly being added to Hiei's ever so long 'hate list'. He ate his soup slowly, without much interest.

A door opened as Kurama entered the restaurant. He mind as well get some lunch while he was there, it took him long enough to walk back home anyways. He sat down in a corner as far away from people as he could get, replying quickly when the waiter asked what he'd like. Tentatively, he took in his surroundings. Nobody was really there, except for one person. As soon as he saw who the person was, he felt his hart race in fear. Crimson eyes were set in a never-ending glare at the table, it seemed as if he wasn't focusing on anything else. Kurama trembled, and fearfully moved a little farther back in his seat, trying to get even farther away from Hiei that he'd already been before. At the same time, Kurama forced himself to mask his fears, afraid it would be taken advantage of if anyone found out. So, he retained a natural expression on his pale, delicate face. Then, he turned his attention away from him, sipping from the teacup he held silently.

Hiei growled and set two thousand yen on the table, storming out of the restaurant. For sure, this guy seemed a lot more temperamental than a normal person was. And what if this was how he was on a bad day. Then the thought of him on a bad day would make even the bravest, most strong and athletic person, would cower in fear from this boy's rage. He did however, take the chance to glare at Kurama, who didn't seem to notice, the redhead had gone into what looked to be a trance-like state, almost coma-like. He was slightly annoyed by this and walked out of the restaurant without doing anything else. When he walked outside, he was greeted by rain, and wondered silently to himself if it ever stopped raining. the fire youkai was just about to find shelter in an alley, before a voice interrupted the silence. "Jaganshi, Hiei, is it not?" Red eyes narrowed in anyone and he yelled into the abyss

"And why the hell is it your business?" A blue haired figure materialized from nowhere. Hiei pointed a finger, "You're that girl from the restaurant!" Although she seemed to notice Hiei's annoyance quite distinctly, she smiled and bowed, showing no fear whatsoever to Hiei. This annoyed Hiei even more. She giggled lightly before continuing. "My name is Botan! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"That doesn't answer my question. Tell me or I'll be forced to slit you throat!" She shuddered and pushed her two index fingers together, fumbling wit her words

"Okay, Mister grumpy. I have come with a job for you. I want you to make friend with that red haired boy you met earlier, Kurama. He's oh so very lonely" So that she did happen to be a he, not that it mattered to Hiei.

"So? Who are you to boss me around? If you really want this Kurama to have friend, you should."

"I'm quite busy although It would be lovely to be his friend. But I have a proposal to make, let's say you give it a shot, you be friends with Kurama, I'll offer you your own house with meals free of charge."

"Hn. And why is it that you don't have the time to do it yourself?"

"I have to go back to the spirit world."

"Well, then. No." the youkai tuned and walked away from the ferry girl, unmotivated even with her proposal,

"Sooner of later, you're going to be great friends, I know it!" she replied happily, jumping on a paddle she had conjured and vanished into the skyline. Hiei scoffed at this and kicked a trash can. Still annoyed, Hiei decided to go confront this Kurama on why he needed friends so badly.

Meanwhile, Kurama sighed and put his key into the lock, turning it and letting himself into the house. Kurama took a looked at himself in the mirror as he brushed the crimson mane that had become messy while walking through the rainstorm. An extremely pale figure frowned back at him. Had he really gone out looking like that? Due to this cold, he was deathly pale, emerald eyes slightly dull. His cheeks were also tinted red from a slight fever he probably hadn't noticed. Well, so it wasn't new Sighing, he turned to look at the directions on the back of the medicine box, paining his already sore throat by coughing hoarsely a few times. 'This should help' he thought as he swallowed a small blue pill. The medicine, having the possible side affect of drowsiness left Kurama sleeping peacefully on the couch, unbeknownst to him, Hiei's presence was fast approaching.

Hiei ran to where he sensed Kurama's presence. He was led to a more remote side of town with small cottage-like housed scattered a good distance apart form one another. He walked on the porch, knocking loud on the door. No answer. This annoyed Hiei. The guy was obviously him; his aura was practically radiating off the house. At the end of his rope, Hiei turned the door knob and kicked the door open. This surprised him, he'd expected the door to be locked. Completely ignoring the fact that it wasn't his house, he strolled right in as if it were; closing the door and removing his boots as he entered. Hey, he still did have a slight shard of respect among that cold heart.

It was quite a small little cottage, from what Hiei could tell; there was only one bedroom, a kitchen with room enough for an oven, small table and fridge, and a little bit more roomy, but still cozy living room. There he found Kurama, fast asleep on the couch. Although Hiei was softened by the delicate and almost angelic(But of course, Hiei wouldn't admit to that) look of the sleeping figure, he still drew his sword from his sheath, ready to wake the boy and confront him. The redhead was awoken by the noise of Hiei drawing his sword, being the type of person who stirred with the smallest of noises unless it was in the middle of the night. Confused emerald eyes stared into the other's crimson eyes, not understanding. At first, he stared and blinked drowsily, not comprehending what this meant in his state of fatigue. When he caught the gleam of Hiei's katana, he forgot all about masking his fears, shooting straight off the couch and into a dark corner in the room accompanied by a silent cry of fear. The glint of the katana brought back several unpleasant waves of memories, accompanied by a growing feeling of nausea.

Hiei merely looked confused, stepping towards the kitsune while clutching his weapon. Kurama turned away, visible shudders and shivers traveling throughout his body. This only confused Hiei more. What was he so scared of? It hit him, he sheathed his sword and said in the kindest voice that he could possibly muster(Which isn't very kind when you compare it to that of a person such as Kurama)and gazed at him gently.

"I'm sorry for scaring you, but I won't hurt you."

such words would reassure some; but when Hiei offered out his hand, Kurama cringed away and averted his emerald gaze.

"Listen! I haven't come to hurt you! I just want you to tell me something" said Hiei, almost losing his patience for the umpteenth time today. This tone only made Kurama whimper softly and scrunch himself harder against the wall. Hiei placed a hand on his shoulder, and almost immediately realized this was a vital mistake. Kurama shuddered and gave a soft and terrified scream before running and taking cover under his kitchen table. Hiei growled, stomping his feet and storming out of the house, leaving an open door in his wake. Kurama was left to tremble, finally breaking the action by falling to the ground and coughing hard. Okay, so maybe he was sicker that he'd acknowledged. He felt the full effects of the fever, but that wasn't the point. Who had that been? Why had he been in his house? These questions overwhelmed him, and he collapsed of fever onto the cool tile floor.

Botan floated in the air on her paddle. At the current situation, she frowned. Both were stubborn, but she believed the would make such a great pair, if Hiei wasn't so cold and Kurama so frightened of Hiei, maybe they'd have a better chance at being friends. She seriously doubted that they'd ever get used to each other. The girl flew off on her paddle to Spirit World, shaking her head at the thoughts of the day.

Hiei darted among the trees, cursing himself for even trying to get close enough to talk to him. This boy was so pathetic, it wasn't even worth laughing over. Vaguely, he wondered how such a charming looking person had gotten to be so fearful of anything that even reached out to touch him. This thought was pushed out of his mind however, when he reminded to tell Botan that it was a job for an idiot to make friends with that coward; and that he refused to do so.

Okay! That is where I choose to leave off for this chapter. Please you reviewers, do not be shy, I love any input you have, be it praise or constructive(ya here me CONSTRUCTIVE) criticism. No flames just for the yaoi. If you really don't like my fic, find another reason to flame, at least find something I really did wrong. Other than the fact that I'm sick, twisted, and retarded for thinking that Kurama and Hiei are a couple. Arigatou gozaimasu for taking you time to read my fic, and I hope you continue to do so! Next time, we'll have a glimpse at why Kurama is so scared at people. Which means, FLASHBACK TIME! Yay! Ja ne
