The four boys found the demons in a forest not far from the city. "Who are you?" one of the Demons sneered.

"Your worst nightmare." Yusuke said. The fight began and, just as Koenma had said, the demons were strong, but not really. The Spirit team was winning till one of the demons let out a amazingly strong attack. It was aimed at Hiei, who was busy with another demon.

"Hiei, get out of the way!" Kurama shouted. Hiei turned and was about to bolt…but the demon that had been fighting Hiei grabbed him so he could not run. "Crap!" Kurama swore. He ran and got in the way of the blast…

"Kurama!" Hiei yelled. He broke free of the demon, killed it, and ran to Kurama, catching the foxes limp form before it hit the ground. "Kurama, wake up! Kurama!" Hiei said, as he tried to wake the fox unconscious fox that lay in his arms.

"Hiei, get Kurama to Genkai's!" Yusuke shouted as he killed the demon that had sent the attack. Hiei nodded and sped away.

He reached Genkai's and ran into the building. Yukina greeted him. "Hello Hiei. Oh my, what happened?" Yukina asked.

"We were fighting some demons and one attacked me. When I went to et out of the way another grabbed me from behind so I couldn't run. Kurama got in the way of the blast." Hiei said in one breath. Yukina nodded and led Hiei to a room. He lay Kurama on a futon while Yukina tried to heal him.

After a few minutes she stood. "That's all I can do. He should be fine. He just needs rest. He should be asleep for a while." She said. Hiei nodded in response. Yukina left and Hiei was left sitting there with an asleep Kurama.

"Please be ok Kurama." Hiei whispered. You can't die. Not yet. I have to tell you fox…that I…Love you. Hiei sat cross-legged next to Kurama that night. He did not sleep nor did he move. Even when Yusuke and Kuwabara came by to see if Kurama was ok. Even when Yukina begged him to get some sleep. Even when Yusuke offered to keep an eye on him. Hiei would just "Hn" and shrug them off. I will not move till I know for a fact Kurama will be ok. He thought.

Meanwhile Kurama was having less pleasant thoughts…

Dream

Kurama walked along the sidewalk toward his house. "Hn, baka Kitsune." He heard a voice say behind him. Kurama turned and there stood Hiei.

"Hiei! I'm so glad to see you!" Kurama said. He hugged Hiei. Suddenly he felt a searing pain in his back. "What…?" Kurama fell backward. In Hiei's hand was a dagger dripping with blood.

"Pathetic…" Hiei sneered.

"Hiei why…?" Kurama asked. This can't be real…he would never. Hiei turned and started to walk away. "No! Come back!" Kurama called. "don't leave me!"

End Dream

"Don't…leave…me…" Kurama murmured in his sleep. A few tears few from his eyes. Hiei wiped the tears away.

"I won't leave you Kurama." Hiei whispered. "I won't leave you."

Will Kurama die? Will he live? What will happen?
