"The scar isn't going away…" Hiei trailed off. Kurama crossed the room and pulled the sanjiyan into his arms.

"Do you know why?" Kurama said, hugging him gently.

"It's because I'm becoming Battousai. It's happened twice before, but I don't remember many of the details." Hiei said, pulling away from Kurama's embrace. "I need to go."

"Where will you go, Hiei?"

"I'm going to wander the Makai." Hiei was out of the window before Kurama could respond to his last words.

"I love you."
