Chapter,10: A gift from below
Kurama sighed looking around. Hiei was no where to be seen, which couldn't be good. He had a new gift for Hiei today which he hoped would work better than the kitten. Him and Sora didn't seem to be getting along quite to well.
He thought about calling Hiei down or not and figured it wasn't that good of an idea. Thinking more on it though he also realized that it probably wasn't a good idea if Hiei was left alone and he didn't know what he was doing or where he was.
"HIEI!"
"YAY! KURAMA!" Hiei latched onto Kurama the minute the words left the fox demon's mouth.
Kurama sweat dropped nervously and smiled.
"You remember what I said right? How I was going to be making your Halloween costume today, so you need to let me be?"
Hiei supper nodded about 400 times before noticing the bag in Kurama's hand.
"What'd you get? Huh? Huh? Weapons to destroy the bed? I hope so! Or sugar…yes maybe it's sugar…sugar would be good, we're almost out of sugar…I think. But that doesn't matter! Even if we have lots we need more sugar! SUGAR KURAMA DO YOU HEAR ME! What's in the bag?"
Kurama sighed having given up on trying to decipher anything Hiei said anymore. He did hear the keywords of bag, and sugar though and silently wished he'd never allowed Hiei into his house.
"Well Hiei, in this bag I have…a toy that will keep you busy for a long, long while." He smiled gently at Hiei doing his best not to beat the fire demon up or tie him up again. He took the bag off his arm and forced an even brighter smile onto his face. "Here, I want you to open it up when you get upstairs. And not until than alright? It's really fun. It will talk to you and move a bit and a few other things alright?"
Hiei nodded happily and grabbed the bag.
"I hope it's sugar!" He ran up the stairs at top speed and slammed the door shut.
Kurama sighed heavily and headed towards his basement. It was going to be a long night. Hopefully that toy would keep Hiei very busy though. He walked down the stairs and started working on the costume again.

Hiei made it upstairs quickly and open the bag. He blinked staring at the box.
"How can I play with a box?"
Sora hissed from ontop of the bed and Hiei hissed back at it moving off to the other side of the room. He sat down on the floor and poked the box. Nothing. Grinning evilly he started shaking it a bit. Nothing.
Hiei frowned at this a bit not sure where to from here. He noticed the top was already partly opened and pulled the rest of it off. He blinked at the object inside and took it out staring at it.
"And ju--"
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!" Hiei screamed and dropped the toy onto the floor hiding behind the bed. "WHOA! Big noise!"
Hiei remained in his spot watching the toy closely. His fox had told him it'd move and that it'd talk. Gaining courage Hiei put his hand on his sword and slowly walked over to face the toy on his own terms.
"I'm Hiei…"
"Pet me."
"What?"
Hiei stared at it blinking a bit and picked it up. Pet it? How?
"Hehehehe! I tricked you!"
Hiei growled at it glaring.
"And just how did you trick me! You work for the bed don't you!"
The toy smirked a bit and closed its eyes. It slowly opened them and laughed.
"I'm going to kill your lover with an axe!" Hiei dropped the toy and ran down stairs.
"KURAMA!"
Not really wanting to deal with it, Kurama stood up and locked the door at the bottom of the basement and than went back to making the costume.
Hiei didn't really need a door though. He ran down the stairs at top speed and went through it as though it was paper. Hearing the wood split Kurama twitched a bit forcing himself not to attack his lover. He turned around a forced smile on his face.
"Yes Hiei?" He asked shaking some what.
"KURAMA! THAT THING YOU BOUGHT ME! IT'S EVIL!"
Kurama raised an eyebrow at this. Everything seemed to be evil on Hiei's list. He hoped he wasn't next.
"Hiei what are you talking about?"
"I'll show you!" Before Kurama could throw in any protests Hiei grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him up the stairs. He than continued on to drag the fox demon into his bedroom and pointed to the toy on the floor.
"Hiei…if it's just talking, Furby's are supposed to talk."
"It's no that it's talking! It's what it's saying!" The fire demon hissed picking it up. "Watch!" He waited for the furby to say something. It remained silent. Kurama just stared waiting and Hiei growling, started shaking the thing and than smirked when it started to move its mouth. "Listen!"
"I love you Kurama."
Kurama blushed a bit smiling.
"Aww Hiei! Did you teach it to say that?"
Hiei stared at the Furby in shock. This thing was evil.
"No I didn't! It said it wanted to kill you!"
"You know Hiei…" Kurama said twitching a bit again. "Furbies can only say a few words, and than repeat eventually what they've heard said…."
"And?"
"That means either you're walking around saying you want me dead or you're hearing things!" Kurama growled at him and stomped off downstairs.
"BUT I DO LOVE YOU! JUST LIKE THE SUGAR!"
Kurama rolled his eyes and went back to the basement.
"You tricked me!" Hiei growled death glaring the furby. "I knew I couldn't trust you!"
The toy laughed and smirked evilly at him.
"You will sleep and never wake up! I will kill Kurama!" It started laughing.
Getting frustrated Hiei got a great idea. He picked the Furby up and threw it out the window. It went flying and slammed down hard into the ground breaking it. Hiei smirked at this and closed the window locking it. He turned around ready to walk out of the room to face an extremely annoyed looking Sora.
"Eh…."
The cat growled loudly and attacked Hiei scratching at him and biting. Hiei tried pulling the cat off knowing if he hurt it, Kurama would hate him. He tugged ,but found no way to get it off. Sighing a bit he walked out of the room the cat still clawed to his face.
He made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen cat still firmly attached and grabbed the bowl of sugar. He blinked when he opened it seeing not sugar, but small red things inside.
He took one out and looked at it. This wasn't his sugar. Maybe it was a new kind though! He licked it and made a face.
"This stuff is nasty….where's MY sugar?" Thinking maybe he had to get used to this stuff he put one into his mouth and started sucking on it. It tasted pretty good to him. Grinning he got up and went in search for his wonderful sugar bag.
Meanwhile….

"I'll teach him." The furby growled climbing in through the mail slot. "Kurama will die tonight!" It laughed and somehow got through. It had somehow pulled itself together, better than before, ti could normally walk now, and made its way to the stair case.
(X)
"Almost done." Kurama muttered sighing and added on the last touches to the costume. Smiling. It had taken him all day, but to him it looked pretty good and had come out perfectly. "HIEI! COME AND TRY ON YOUR COSTUME!" He yelled.
Sure enough a few seconds later his hyper fire demon appeared in the room. It took Kurama a few seconds to realize he was on the floor at this time, Hiei on top of him grinning, the cat asleep in his hair.
"HI! DO YOU LOVE ME AGAIN? I'M SORRY ABOUT THE FURBY IT JUST TELLS LIES! Lies…yes lies….stupid furby! I hate it! But I like it as a gift from you! I just don't like it over all because it's evil!" He said rapidly and Kurama just nodded.
"Alright Hiei. I need you to try this on to make sure it fits. Are you ready?"
Hiei nodded and hugged Kurama before standing up.
"What do I have to do?" He asked happily.
Kurama snickered and handed him the costume.
"Put this on over your clothes." Hiei nodded quickly and took the costume trying it on. It fit perfectly. "Alright good, now put the mask on." Kurama handed him the mask and took Sora off of him. Sora purred happily nuzzling Kurama gently getting a growl from Hiei.
He took the mask and placed it on. This to fit perfectly.
"Great!"
Hiei blinked and looked around.
"I can see…."
"Well I'd hope so…."
"YAY! IT'S GREAT!" Hiei tackled Kurama happily and ran up the stairs. He didn't notice the Furby, but it noticed him and let out a loud scream as Hiei ran it over and went upstairs so he could see himself in the full length body mirror.
Kurama hearing the scream blinked nervously and walked up the stairs, Sora following happily behind. Frowning a bit the fox demon bent over and picked up the now rebroken Furby.
"Hiei…" He let out a sigh shaking his head. He had hidden all the sugar, just how long was this sugar high going to last? He noticed the light from the sun glint off something in the kitchen and frowned deeply. "Oh no…" He walked into the kitchen and noticed the sugar bowl he'd filled up with cough drops almost empty. "…….HIEI!"
Hiei looked up at the sound of his name being called He ran down the stairs top speed as usual and stopped in front of Kurama.
"What?" he asked frowning at the look on Kurama's face. "Did I do something wrong! I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO EAT THE TEA BAGS!" He cried latching onto Kurama's leg. "I THOUGHT IT WAS A SUGAR PACKET!"
"Eat the tea bags?" Kurama mouthed silently closing his eyes and shaking his head with a sigh. "No Hiei that's not what I called you down here for." 'Though I'm king of wishing it was now.' he thought to himself trying to pry Hiei off of his leg.
Getting no where with just one hand he set the Furby down on the table and pulled with both hands. Hiei noticed the furby and hissed.
"What is that thing doing here?" He demanded death glaring it.
"You ran it over on your way up the stairs. Now Hiei…explain this!" He said glaring and holding up the sugar bowl.
"Explain what? I ate the new sugar…it's spicy."
Kurama closed his eyes again sighing. 'Why me?' he asked himself and sat down pulling Hiei onto his lap.
"Hiei, that was not sugar. It was something called a cough drop…I put them in there hoping you'd think it was sugar and you'd think it all went nasty and would stop eating it…obviously my plan failed."
"Obviously." Hiei answered rolling his eyes. "I CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT SUGAR!" He said laughing evilly and than quickly added seeing the look on Kurama , "Or you!"
Kurama sighed again wishing for a lightning bolt to just come down and hit him. It would make things so much easier.
"Hiei, you need to get a grip on this sugar thing. You eat way to much of it, and you're bouncing off the walls non stop. You pay more attention to your bag of sugar than you do me and--"
"I do not bounce of walls….,but I want to try!"
"Will you listen to me!" Kurama growled causing Hiei to jump eyes widened and frown.
"I thought…you loved me…" He wiped at his eyes as though to remove invisible tears.
"Hiei, I do--"
"LIAR!" Hiei pulled away from Kurama pulling off the costume, throwing it at him and ran up stairs at top speed. Sora went running after him and slammed into the door as Hiei shut it behind him.
Kurama muttered a curse under his breath and ran up the stairs.
"Hiei! Get down here! Don't throw things at me! HIEI! I DO LOVE YOU! PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR!"
"You don't love me! You just want me to think you do! That way the bed can eat me and I'll be out of the way! BUT I KNOW THE TRUTH KURAMA! THAT'S RIGHT! I KNOW THE BED AND YOU ARE TRYIN TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD! THAT'S YOUR REAL MATE ISN'T IT? THE BED!"
Kurama twitched a bit. Why would I possibly want a bed for a mate?
"HIEI OPEN THIS DOOR NOW OR I'LL HAVE THE BED EAT YOU!" He screamed pounding his fist on the door.
The door slowly opened, Hiei no where to be seen. Kurama frowned thinking Hiei had left through his window like he had before, but saw that the window was locked…and…on the ceiling?
It took Kurama another few seconds to register that Hiei had once again tackled him to the ground and latched onto him.
"I DON'T WANT THE BED TO EAT ME! I SWEAR I'LL BE YOUR SLAVE! As long as I can have sugar. JUST DON'T LEAVE ME!" He cried latching onto Kurama more.
Kurama sighed hugging Hiei.
"I'm not leaving you for the bed I promise."
Hiei grinned at this, obviously satisfied with himself that he got his fox to stay and not leave him. Grinning like the sugar high fool he was, he stood up, shoved the cat out of the room and locked the door.
"We can play a game now!" He said happily.
"What kind of game?" Kurama asked figuring for the time being he should probably give in to Hiei less risk the chance of him leaving…and setting him upon the poor unsuspecting and no way to defend themselves humans.
"I want to play candy land!" He said happily running to Kurama's closet to find the game.
Kurama sighed a bit smiling sadly.
"I should of known…"
