Warning: I thought this was slightly more KH than the last

Disclaimer: I don't own

Notes: thanks to my reviewers! I hope maybe more of you will try my story!

DemonUntilDeath: I hope to be able to make these little stories into something with maybe a little plot! Only a hope though I'm terrible when I try to do something usually it just happens or it doesn't.

Sam is forced to join: Thank you.

Waxie: Hehehe That's my little secret but I'm sure you're guesses are dead on. It won't ever be revealed though. I am thinking about turning this into a KH fic if I can think of how I want it to go. I'd love to be able to continue it but inspiration is fickle.

He was, Kurama marveled quietly, very small. Kurama was torn between the desire to touch him and not wanting to wake him. He was warm and fragile and Kurama wanted more than anything to stay right there with him. He reminded Kurama strongly of a baby and the youko rested his own hand gently on his chest to make sure he was really still alive, he was so still. He was breathing softly and his chest rose and fell gently. Kurama smiled warmly laying down next to Hiei. His fingers brushed Hiei's chubby cheek and almost had to bury his face into the pillow with the extreme happiness the adorable features brought to him. Hiei was so untainted despite his belief. When he was like this he was just an angel and he made Kurama so happy.

Kurama tucked closer to the sleeping demon who let out a slight mutter before turning on his side. Kurama spooned warmly up to him looking at the light green pajamas the fire demon was wearing. The neck line exposed a healthy amount of shoulder skin and the cuffs of the sleeves had enveloped the little hands entirely. Gently as he could he pulled back the sleeve to unveil the hand which was lightly curled into a fist.

He unfolded the small fingers and compared them to his own. They weren't chubby just small and slender like Kurama's own fingers except much shorter. They had slight calluses but were mostly soft and supple almost like a leather. Tough yet soft.

"What are you doing?" a voice murmured groggily.

"Just looking," Kurama responded lightly as Hiei nuzzled deeper into his pillow.

"Mmrrr, looking?" Hiei asked warily.

"I'm hurt I was doing nothing inappropriate!" Kurama pretended to be scandalized.

"Hmph," Hiei responded wiggling himself around to look at Kurama. "I'm in your bed, with you, and I'm not in the clothes I was wearing yesterday."

"You used your dragon it was my responsibility to take care of you. I couldn't leave you sleeping in your dirty clothes on the window."

"Hn," Hiei responded with a tiny glare at Kurama but his rapid blinking ruined the effect.

"I'm sorry I woke you up go back to sleep I'll leave you alone," Kurama promised nuzzling Hiei's hair reverently before getting up very reluctantly. Hiei curled into a ball to preserve his warmth looking even smaller than ever.

"Why were you watching me?"

"You looked very small by yourself."

"Stupid."

"I'm sorry."

"Hmph."

Kurama pulled the covers over Hiei again which gained him angry red eyes glaring at him. "You were looking at my hands again," Hiei accused him looking slightly more aware.

"At least it wasn't your feet," Kurama said with a shrug. He felt slightly guilty though, he had a habit of admiring his younger companion's youth. He, himself, in his human body was younger and yet he couldn't think of himself that way.

"I'm not a child," Hiei told him flatly.

"No you're not," Kurama agreed but it didn't matter. Hiei still reminded him of youth and children especially when he was sleeping so innocently. "You're just small."

"You're so weird. So what if I'm small? What difference does that make?"

"None I suppose my mentality like others make me want to protect that which is small," Kurama told him honestly.

"Must you act like that?"

"Yes."

"Stupid kitsune," Hiei said yawning widely.

"Adorable firebaby."

Kurama ducked the thrown pillow artfully before dodging out of the room fearing Hiei might find something more substantial to throw at him. Hiei on the other hand just pulled the pillow back onto the bed and curled around it smiling slightly. It was nice that someone cared.

awww. I aww-ed through it all. (Reread it and wished I could smack myself) I hope you guys got at least just a little aww. I'm such a sucker for tiny Hiei he's so cute. I tried to make him mean and Hiei-ish at the end there. Mrr I'm not too good at it. I was just in an aww mood, my puppy is sleeping. Please reviews and opinions are appreciated!
