Chapter 6: Hope's Flame

A/N: There are 3 more chapters to go.

Hiei said, " You know what! Then send us to Makai Prison! It's better than working for you!"

Koenma stood up in his seat and growled. Hiei's death glare and Koenma's death glare seem to battle. Kurama looked at Hiei.

Kurama thought, ' what? I don't want to go to Makai Prison. My mother will be worried and I don't want to explain to her about my past yet. My body won't be able to handle Demon World for long."

Kurama finally spoke, "Hiei…I don't think we should risk losing our second chance and I could die..."

Hiei looked at Kurama, sadly. Kurama was right. If they went to the Makai Prison, Hiei would be alone after Kurama died.

Hiei looked at Koenma and says," Then send me to prison..."

Kurama turned his head slowly to Hiei, " Hiei, no..."

Koenma says," That can be easily arranged..." He pressed a button where a series of guards appeared.

The toddler -erm, ruler of Spirit World, commanded," Take this demon to the prison and make sure you put him a strong cell. He was one of the Reikai Tantei!"

The guards held Hiei by the arms. Hiei wouldn't give in without a fight. But, when the guards touched him. A shock was sent through his body. Hiei winced and slowly knocked out. The guards were wearing a special glove that knocks out the prisoner when they have to transport them.

Kurama looked at Hiei. He didn't get to say good-bye and Hiei sacrificed his second chance for Kurama. Kurama had to get Hiei out of that prison. But, it was impossible in this human body. He had to find a way to turn into the legendary Yoko Kurama. The guards disappeared with Hiei through teleportation.

Koenma finally said," Kurama, it's for the best..."

Kurama looked down and nodded. Yusuke and Kuwabara came in, groaning, knowing they proably had a mission.

Koenma had explained that Hiei was in prison for special reasons but to focus on the masked figure instead of this whole Hiei gone. Yusuke and Kuwabara sensed something was up. But, seemed to shrug it off. Yusuke wanted to say that Hiei should come back, no matter what he did. Hiei was a strong fighter. But, Koenma seemed to cut him off every time.

Kurama grew angry with Koenma, just ignoring this. But, he could do nothing about it. After the meeting with Koenma, Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara met outside of Koenma's office to chat.

Kurama says, " Hiei is in the Makai Prison on my behalf…" Kurama looked down sadly.

Yusuke says, " What happened?"

" Yusuke, Hiei and I are in love with each other and Koenma found out. So, he grew angry with this and wanted us both sent to the Makai Prison. I can't withstand demon energy waves. So, I couldn't. Hiei asked to sent though."

"Wow. I know its love and all. But, why did he go? I mean couldn't he just stay."

"Yusuke…I think it's hard to bear to see me and not to be able to kiss me again. Hiei does things that different from what we do."

Yusuke stared at Kuwabara who had no idea what they were talking about. Kurama sighed. Yusuke looked back at Kurama.

The red head said, " We have to get Hiei back and make Koenma okay with this."

Yusuke says, " Man, I wanted to relax for once. Ugh, fine."

"Thank you Yusuke."

' There was hope for getting Hiei back. Hiei, hang on, we're coming…' Kurama thought as he thought of a way to convince Koenma that this relationship will work.

A/N: Finally, I finish this chapter. Next chapter coming soon.
