Ok, this one song is different from the others. First, it's sung by Mandy Moore and it's a feminen song. It's called Cry by Mandy Moore (I don't own her either...That would be a little wrong)

Hope you enjoy,

Some tapped lightly on the bathroom door as Hiei lied against it. He could feel the vibration as the person tapped a little louder. "Hiei?" Yukina called, sounding quite worried. "Hiei? Please answer me. Are you sick?"

Hiei grabbed the door knob and pulled himself up, trying to contain his sadness. As soon as he did, his tears stopped and his expression was emotionless once more. He opened the door, forgetting about the black and red tear gems scattered on the floor. Yukina was staring at him with concern written all over her face.

"We-were you crying?" she asked, taken back. Hiei remained silent and still. "What's wrong?" Once again, she was left with no reply, not even a blink. She blushed and her gaze fell to the floor. The red and black stones lying on the floor immediately caught her attention.

Yukina bent down, picking one up. It took her only a moment to realize that these were tear gems.

"You-you're...you're my brother," she whispered, completely shocked and stupefied. "You were my brother this whole time!" Her eyes flew up to Hiei and he quickly looked away. "You're my brother!" She started to cry, throwing her arms around her long lost brother and letting her tear gems hit his shoulder.

I'll always remember,

It was late afternoon.

It lasted forever,

And ended so soon.

Kurama lay on the couch, watching everyone decorate. He felt like such an idiot, such a fool. Keiko and Yusuke were setting up a little village under the tree and Kurama watched them. Two figures caught his eye; A couple holding hands while sitting by the frozen ice skating lake. Kurama smiled as he remembered when he and Hiei had done that. For four hours they just watched the ice skaters do figure eights and skate around the lake. They never said a word to each other, but they just held the others hand tightly.

Kurama's grip around the mug tightened and he stared into the tea, a tear rolling down his cheek and evaporating even before it touched the tea. The steam hit Kurama's cold, pale face. He really did feel sick, he missed Hiei desperately. Even if he could just get one kiss-

Yukina walked into the room dragging Hiei behind her. They both looked dazed, like their presence there was artificial. "Everyone, I have an announcement," Yukina sang and everyone looked up at her and Hiei. Kurama took a sip of his tea, staring at the tense fire demon.

"OH NO!" Kuwabara cried, dropping a golden ornament onto the wooden floor. As soon as it shattered, everyone looked at him. "You're not leaving me for Hiei, are you?" he begged and Yukina giggled.

"Of course not. But this announcement is important. I have finally found my long lost brother and the truth is, he wasn't that far from me! I feel so stupid since I never knew," the Koorime threw her arms around her brother. Hiei mindlessly wrapped his arms around her, his hand fiddling with her delicate, blue strands of hair. Everyone clapped, except for Kurama who was holding a mug. Instead he beamed at Yukina and she smiled back at him.

"Wait, what? Hiei, you're her brother?" Kuwabara exclamied, obviously shocked by the announcement. Hiei nodded absentmindedly. "How come I never knew?" Yukina let go of Hiei and walked over to her lover, kissing him on the lips.

"We didn't want to tell you because we were afraid you'd blab it," Yusuke snickered.

"I'll show you blabbing!" Kuwabara raised his fist and Yukina grabbed it.

"It's okay, I don't mind," she beamed at him. "I'm just glad I finally found my brother."

You were all by yourself,

Staring up at a dark gray sky,

I was changed.

Hiei couldn't feel anything, his body or his soul. His whole being was numb. There were striking pains in his heart that yearned for his kitsune. Right now all he needed was to be in his Kurama's arms and kiss him. It wasn't Hiei's fault, he loved him. But Kurama loved that ningen.

If Kurama wanted that human girl instead of Hiei, he wouldn't argue. It wasn't Hiei's decision and he couldn't change Kurama's mind. He couldn't even kill that Goddamn girl because Kurama would hate him, he would probably kill him.

"Kurama," Hiei finally spoke. Kurama had heard him and looked up at the little fire demon. Suddenly, Kurama felt as if Hiei still loved him as the dragon etched in his skin burned. It wasn't the normal angry burn, it was a soft burn, full of passion and despair.

"Wh-what did you say?" Kurama asked Hiei. He didn't answer, instead he pursed his lips and bit his tongue so he wouldn't speak again. It didn't matter, all he could say was Kurama. Kurama. Life suddenly seemed so blank, so empty. Loneliness and darkness began to overwhelm the little demon. Kurama immediately sensed this and crawled toward Hiei on the couch.

"Hiei, sit down," Kurama begged, but Hiei didn't reply. "Hiei, what's wrong?" A small sneer came to Hiei's lips as he just stood there, his whole body frozen over.

"Oi, Kurama, what's up with Hiei?" Yusuke asked as he and Keiko walked over.

"Is everything okay?" Kyo asked, dragging Christmas lights on the floor as she came over. "Are you okay stranger, who's name I have yet to learn?" she giggled to herself and Keiko joined. Hiei glared at Kyo, the ningen Kurama decided was going to be his, with hatred burning in his eyes. How badly he wanted to slice her in half and take Kurama back into his own arms.

In blazes no one will find,

All your feelings so deep inside.

Was there that I realized,

that forever was in your eyes,

The moment I saw you cry.

Kurama stood up and wrapped his arms around Kyo, just so he could look better at Hiei. Emptiness and despair stared right back. Hiei's soul was dead and Kurama could feel his hip singeing. The only other time that he had ever felt the mark like this was when Hiei had his stomach sliced open by that dreaded Shigure. He was dying.

"Hiei," Kurama let go of Kyo and pushed her out of the way. Kyo, along with everyone but Hiei, was shocked by this action. Kurama shook Hiei violently. "HIEI! Wake up! You have to calm down! What's gotten into you? Hiei!" Kurama felt hot tears running down his cheeks as Hiei was slipping further and further.

"Stop it!" Kurama cried and everyone stared at the fox. "Stop it, come back! Hiei!"

"Kur-Um, Shuuichi, he's not going anywhere," Yusuke said, looking concerned at the kitsune.

"Don't you feel it?" Kurama's head whipped to look at Yusuke. "Tell me you must feel it! It's so light, but I can! Yusuke, come on," Kurama begged, looking back at Hiei and shaking him more.

"Hiei!" Yukina ran to her brother and touched his face. "Oh no, he's so cold! It's like his soul has just disappeared!"

"You feel it, don't you Yukina?" Kurama whispered to the Koorime and she nodded, her eyes bulging.

"What could've happened that made him so upset?" Yukina muttered, tears streaming down her face.

"What's happening?" Kyo looked at Yusuke and he laughed nervously.

"Nothing!" he exclaimed and punched her in the face, knocking her unconcious.

"Yusuke!" Keiko exclaimed.

"What?"

I wanted to hold you,

I wanted to make it go away.

I wanted to know you,

I wanted to make your everyday,

Alright...

Hiei stared at the fox shaking him violently, tears pouring down his face. Kurama was crying for him, but it was just from his love for his friend, nothing more. The rose on Hiei's chest was pulsing furiously as Kurama sank to his knees, sobbing hysterically. He didn't even care that Yusuke just knocked Kyo out.

"Baka!" Keiko slapped Yusuke. "Why did you do that?"

"She doesn't know anything about demons, she wouldn't understand. If she asks, she fell asleep." Keiko glared at Yusuke.

Hiei found himself tuning out their conversation, tuning out his surroundings, even his weeping little sister. The only this that he was paying attention to was Kurama at his feet. His whole body was shaking as he was crying.

Then Hiei saw it, the little hole in his heart. He felt his soul traveling to the hole, the place where he'd lock himself away for ever, so he'd never have to feel loneliness or sadness again. But then that meant he'd never be able to see his precious Kurama again.

Kurama obviously felt this and looked up at Hiei, tears in his eyes. "Hi-Hiei, please, don't!" Kurama sobbed, his mark burning even more. "Hiei," he whimpered.

"I don't understand what's happening," Kuwabara took the sobbing Yukina into his arms.

"It's Hiei, his soul...It's locking itself away, for ever. He won't die now, he'll just be empty. We'll loose him forever," Yukina's voice cracked. "This is all my fault!"

"No, it's not," Kurama stood up, shaking. "It's mine. And I'm going to fix it."

Kurama took Hiei's hand. All at once, pain, happiness and anger poured into Hiei from Kurama's hand. Kurama led Hiei into the hallway, closing the door behind them.

"The dragon is burning the way it did when Shigure sliced you opened. You're dying and I don't know why!" Kurama cried, wrapping his arms around the little fire demon, his fire demon. Then, he felt it. The heat coming from Hiei was intense and it was burning Kurama's skin. Hiei was dying because of shock. Not the normal human shock, a deadly shock only demons can experience when something they truly love disappears.

That's when Kurama knew that Hiei still loved him, his fire demon, his lover still wanted him. Kurama let go of Hiei and looked down at him. Hiei stared right back up, his eyes cold and blank.

"I-I can't believe it," Kurama muttered, wrapped his arms around Hiei's neck and firmly placed his chapped lips against Hiei's warm lips.
