Disclaimer- if I owned I would make it very action packed… in uh different ways then what you think… (hehehe)

Hiei- so another angst fic… staring me of course
ILY- of course who else…
Hiei- can I kill you now or later
Kurama- now, now hiei don't get emotional
Hiei- shut up kurama… hn, baka kitsune (mumble mumble)
ILY-… ok I am scared… back to typing… read and review if you will
What horrors we bare-
"Kurama" hiei grunted, not making any contact, toward the x thief in a quick greeting before he swiftly made his way out of genkais house to god only knows where. Yusuke and kuwabara stared at the koormi's silhouetted figure through the glare of the setting sun.
"What was he doing here?" kuwabara all but snarled
"That is none of your affair" genkai rasped before she turned and left the room, pausing momentarily in a suggestion to follow and they did.
They walked behind her short footed strides to a small cozy room consisting of only a long oak table low to the ground with several small pale pink cushions to seat themselves on, Kurama, and yusuke on one side, kuwabara, and genkai on the other. Yukina came in with a tray of tea and set a cup before each member then sat herself down on the end
"Where did hiei go?" she asked looking for the small fire youkai in the corners and windows.
"He left after you talked" genkai answered taking a sip of her cooling tea
"Oh" was all yukina said before she too sipped the soothing concoction down her throat
"ok what's going on here, first koenma told us there was something wrong and that you knew more about it… then hiei…" yusuke said putting his hands on the table his brow furrowing as he tried to figure out all the clues.
"Don't hurt your head trying to figure it out" genkai chastised
"then will you tell us what the hell is going on or do we have to pound it out of the toddler?" yusuke growled loosing his patience quickly
"Calm down brat" genkai growled just as menacingly "I don't know why koenma got you involved its really only hieis business…" she began
"What is?" kurama asked curiously after finding it involved hiei
Genkai sighed "yukina knows not me… yukina" she said passing the conversation over to the red eyed maiden.
"Hm… I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you… but if it will help hiei I suppose you must know" she started pausing for a fraction before continuing
"I don't know much only as much as I have seen…you all know hiei went missing a few weeks back and no trace of his ki was to be found… well he showed up this morning… he was so beaten I was amazed he could stand let alone walk… then I found why we were unable to find him, he was warded his wrists and ankles, when I touched them they shocked my fingers and sent pain running up my spine… I asked hiei if it was doing that to him the whole time and he remained silent for a minute, then he told me that it didn't bother him any more that he was used to it… he was so… distant so… broken" yukina whispered nearly in tears by the last sentence she took a deep breath to calm herself and smiled reassuringly at the worried looks on the others faces
"I was able to remove the wards hours ago and I used the last of my strength to heal his wounds only… a few would not heal…"
Yusuke looked up when yukina stopped "is that a problem… if you didn't…" he began, but kurama cut him off.
"Only two types of wounds can not be cured… self inflicted…" they looked up worried "and rape" he said the last part slowly so as to let it sink in.
"And… what type where they?" yusuke asked yukina softly, afraid of the answer
"both" she choked out finally allowing a few jewels to plink to the ground "it seems when he struggled against the… bonds his body took it as self inflicting… the others he wouldn't even let me near, but I saw the claw marks on his back and the bite marks on his neck and chest" she stopped more tears ran town her cheeks and landed with soft plunks among the pale cushions.
Kuwabara went to her and she buried her face into his chest softly sobbing
The others sat in rapt silence all of them barley understanding and comprehending the information they had just been told
"Why… would koenma want us to know such a thing… how could we help with something like that?" yusuke asked he himself looking on the verge of tears
"All we can do is watch over him and make sure it never happens again, we can't show pity or sympathy or he will run away in disgust and humiliation" kurama explained standing up from his now uncomfortable position amongst the ground
"That makes sense" yusuke muttered before he too stood up. They headed for the door both wanting desperately to be within their warm houses with familiar settings. Kuwabara told them he was staying so they left to make their way down the never ending stair case that eventually did have an end.
Kurama walked yusuke home, leaving the unusually quiet detective at his door step, then he himself went home to his warm empty house. Not that he minded it being empty, his mother had moved in with her boyfriend months ago, and kurama had insisted on keeping the house so his mother, being the kind soul she was, gave it too him and even paid the bills as long as he kept straight A's. He grabbed the remote and plopped on the couch, trying to drown out the noiseless silence that seemed to invade his ears, nearly suffocating him.
About what felt like an hour passed and he was still sitting where he had dropped, another infomercial had come on, irritating the kitsune 'I swear that half of the show is commercials' he thought moodily he stood, not really caring to see the end of the movie that he had already forgotten the name of, and turned the television off, blinking in surprise when the darkness enveloped him.
Looking at the glowing clock upon the TV stand he gaped 9:30 pm he had been sitting their well over an hour, nearly 3 to be precise he scoffed at his carelessness and went into the kitchen where he made himself a quick dinner of rice.
After he was well sated he made his way up the old creaking stairs to his very inviting bedroom.
He made his way passed his mornings hastily discarded pile of clothes, and plopped on his rumpled sheets. He closed his eyes, and felt them sting from lack of sleep, seconds later the darkness enveloped him into its silent slumber.
He awoke a few hours later to tapping on his window at first he thought it was a tree so he looked at the clock 1:46 am, and groaned then curled back up, but the tapping came again. He sat bolt upright and stumbled to the window when he remembered who it could be, and he was right as soon as he pulled the latch and lifted the old window up he saw hiei standing there, silently waiting in the dieing tree next to the window.
"come in" kurama said stepping back he went to his desk and switched on the lamp, at the same time he herd a soft plop indicating hiei had come into the softly lit room.
He turned around and gasped causing hieis head to jerk up
"Do I really look that bad?" hiei asked in a softer then normal voice that he only used around kurama.
"W..what happened?" kurama said going to hieis side and ghosting his too pale face.
"Didn't yukina tell you" he asked a tint of anger in his voice
"Yes… but don't be mad at her she only wanted to help, and I hadn't realized how much of a toll this could be on you" kurama whispered.
"I'm perfectly fine now" hiei said though he wouldn't make eye contact and every time kurama got a glimpse he saw so much pain and horror in those red orbs.
"Hiei?" Kurama whispered hiei looked up he knew he shouldn't have come, but he needed a familiar face, someone inviting who would if given the chance hold him and comfort him, though hiei would never allow it he could still dream. His gaze drifted to the wooden floor beneath his feet.
He was suddenly snapped out of his reverie when something collided with him, and he was thrown to the ground for a second his heart jumped in his throat, and he almost screamed, then he noticed the flaming red hair and he sighed.Kurama was hugging him, it felt so right, so comfortable, as kurama sat up he still held him to his chest, and hiei being in the emotional wreck he was, gave up all sentimentalism, buried his face in kuramas chest wrapped his arms around him and cried. He cried for everything that had happened for everything that continues to happen, he cried so hard his body convulsed in the sobs.
Kurama at first was shocked and scared he had never seen hiei shed a single tear, let alone sob, when he calmed kurama continued to hold the hysterical demon to his chest running his delicate fingers through hieis soft gravity defying hair.
Eventually, hours later it seemed, hiei stopped crying, and just laid limply in kuramas arms. His own arms hanging down uselessly, he stared calmly at nothing his breathing came as if he where asleep, though he was still conscious.
Kurama shifted slightly his legs where falling asleep and it was very uncomfortable. He felt hiei stir, and stayed silent not wanting to startle hiei in any way, he didn't know if hiei knew he just cried or even where he was.
"Kurama?" hiei whispered in a very soft voice full of all the pain the fire youkai was living through.
"Yes hiei" kurama replied trying to keep his, own tears at bay.
"I don't want to be awake any more" he whispered a few more tears slipping down his face.
"Oh hiei" kurama whispered hugging the broken figure to himself he knew what hiei wanted, but he just couldn't, he wouldn't, how can you kill the one you love. Yes he loved the boy siding in his lap, he had known for quit a while, he was just too scared to tell him. He realized though that if hiei wanted to die… he would be the only one to do it.
"Please…." Hiei said burying his face once more into his chest.
Kurama lifted one arm and pulled it through his hair until he found the seed he had been looking for he placed it in his mouth; if hiei was to die kurama knew he himself would never be able to live.
He lifted hieis chin and smiled sadly into the others eyes, he brought there faces closer and there lips touched hieis eyes remained open, he was unfazed, kurama ran his tongue along hiei bottom lip and hiei obliged to open his mouth, as soon as he did so a tear found its way down kuramas face, and they made eye contact.kurama crushed the seed between his teeth, and felt the warm powdery substance slip down his throat and out his mouth to make its way down hieis as well.
He felt hiei sigh, then tense as he realized what kurama had done he sat back breaking the kiss and kurama smiled his eyes now cascading tears. Hiei stared at him in horror
"Kurama, why? You weren't supposed to do that" he whispered
Kurama knowing they only had a few minutes longer sighed "yes the only way to activate it is with my spirit energy and my saliva" he answered his eyes where beginning to feel heavy and he laid back against the wall hiei laid back down on his chest also feeling the affects
"Kurama…" hiei asked on the verge of blacking out
"Hmmm" kurama answered languidly stroking hieis back
"Do you think it will hurt to die?" he asked shutting his eyes
"I don't know… but I didn't give us a death seed… we will be in comas for… a …. Very… long…. Time" kurama said his body weakening all the way
"Oh…." Hiei whispered
"At least until… you have healed… and I can help…. Cause we are connected….now" he said through labored breaths, before the darkness over took and he lost consciousness hiei right beside him.
