Char. Death. Don't kill me, kill Angel Bat. She said I wouldn't kill Kurama, so now I have to. Don't worry; he is going to come back…I just don't know when….maybe the next chapter…or maybe the end of this chapter…hmm…you'll have to read to find out!

The hours turned to days, the days to weeks, and still Kurama did not awaken. Slowly Hiei could feel Kurama's energy leave him. Every once in a while Hiei would pool some of his energy and give it to Kurama, but it disappeared as soon as Hiei transferred it. He slowly got more and more worried. Kurama was NOT ok. Nor would he be alive if this kept up. "Please, please don't leave me Kurama." He would whisper into the sleeping foxes ear. But little did he know that Kurama had lost the will to live long ago.

Dream

Kurama walked through darkness. He wasn't sure if he was walking in a strait line or going in circles. Every once in a while he would feel a small surge of power but it quickly disappeared. He heard what sounded like Hiei's voice, begging him not to leave. "But you left me." He would answer back. "You left me all alone. I asked you not to go, and yet you still ran. I'm sorry for loving you Hiei, but I can't help it. No matter how hard I try I will always love you." Kurama called into the darkness, a tear slipping down his cheek. "Good Bye Hiei, I'm sorry."

End Dream

"Good Bye…Hiei…I'm…Sorry." He heard Kurama mutter. He felt Kurama spirit slowly leave his body.

"No! Kurama!" Hiei cried. The spirit seemed to hesitate. "Please don't leave…please. I love you Kurama. I'm sorry I hurt you. I was scared. I didn't know how to react. Please…please…" Hiei said as tears fell. "Don't…leave me…you're the only one who has ever cared." The spirit seemed torn. It floated up a little and then back down. Slowly it shifted into the form of Kurama.

"Hiei…but you…you left…" Kurama said.

"No, I have been here the whole time. I haven't slept, haven't ate. Kurama, please don't go…" Hiei said, looking up at Kurama's spirit.

"I'm sorry Hiei, but I…" Kurama began.

"No you don't. Damn it Kurama, I know you can stay!" Hiei nearly yelled, tears falling and landing as hard gems on the floor. "I know you can" he said, quieter this time. Suddenly Botan appeared. Her eyes were red and she was sniffling. Hiei's eyes widened. "No, you can't…" he whispered.

"I'm sorry…" she said. Kurama gave Hiei a small sad smile.

"I'm sorry Hiei." Was the last thing he said before he and Botan floated off. Hiei looked once more at Kurama's body and then flittered off. He found a small clearing and sat under a tree. There he cried, long and hard.

Up above Kurama watch sadly as Hiei mourned his death. "I'm sorry Hiei, so sorry." He whispered. He turned and faced Koenma.

"Well, Kurama, your vary difficult to judge. You have lead two totally different lives. If I go by one life you should be sent to hell, but your life as a Human and as one of the Spirit Detectives says you should be rewarded greatly." Koenma said as he shuffled through the paper on his desk. The large door suddenly swung open and a great god, Inari-sama himself, stood there.

"Send him back. It is not his time yet. Send him back, and once it is, allow me to be the one to determine his fate, Koenma-san." Inari-sama said.

"Its not that easy, Inari-san, my father…" Koenma started.

"Has agreed. I just spoke with him." Inari-sama said.

"Inari-sama, you…" Kurama said in awe.

"You are vary special Kurama, the most unusual Kitsune I have ever seen. Return to your body, I believe someone is waiting for you." Inari-sama said with a small smile.

"T…thank you, Inari-sama, Thank you so much." Kurama said as he bowed and flew back down to his body. He entered his body and sat up. He toke a deep breath and tested standing. Once he was sure he wouldn't fall he toke a few steps. Satisfied with the results he took off for the clearing where he had seen Hiei. He slowed down and walked into the small clearing. Hiei lay on the other side, surrounded by tear gems and asleep. He walked over to the sleeping demon and gently shook him.

"Hiei…Hiei, wake up." Kurama said softly. Hiei slowly opened his eyes. Once he saw Kurama his eyes flew open.

"Kurama! You…your…" Hiei stammered.

"I'm back, Hiei. Inari-sama basically ordered I be returned to life." Kurama said. Hiei flung his arms around Kurama's neck and hugged him so tight that it's a miracle it didn't kill the poor Kitsune again.

"Kurama…you came back…you really came back. I'm so sorry. I love you Kurama." Hiei said as tears began to fall again. "I'm so happy your back." Kurama also wrapped his arms around the small demon.

"And I'm so happy to be back. I'm sorry for leaving Hiei…I swear I will never again leave you. I swear it." Kurama said. Kurama pulled back some and looked into Hiei's wet eyes. He leaned in and captured Hiei's lips with his own.

Up above Inari-sama smiled as he watched the two rejoice. "Inari-san, I will never understand you." Koenma said.

"No you wont." Inari-sama said. "May I have complete watch over these two?"

"Well, you already have watch for Kurama, and, I guess you can have watch over Hiei…" Koenma said.

"Arigato Koenma-san." Inari-sama said.

"Any time." Koenma said as Inari-sama left.

Kurama pulled back and smiled. "You have no idea how long I have wanted to do that." He said.

"My guess is a long time. But Kurama…?" Hiei asked.

"What?" Kurama asked back.

"Why me?" Hiei asked, barely above a whisper. He looked to the small patch of ground visible between the two males. Kurama placed a hand on Hiei's chin and forced the fire demon to look at him.

"And why not? Your handsome, smart, a good fighter, loyal, maybe a little short tempered, but I can work with that." Kurama chuckled.

"But, I'm the forbidden child, Kurama." Hiei said.

"And you think I care. Hiei, I don't care what others call you. All I want to call you is my Koi." Kurama said.

"I'd like that name a lot better." Hiei said.

"I thought so. Now lets get back…" Kurama said. Hiei jumped up.

"You still need to rest! Come on! Baka fox, your going to get yourself hurt again. And who knows if that god of yours will let you come back a second time." Hiei said. Kurama chuckled at Hiei's antics.

"Yes dear." He mocked. Hiei just growled a little and basically pushed Kurama all the way back to the temple.

See he came back! and i proved that i can and will kill Kurama if i want to, but, i can't keep him dead...--; anyway, review!
