This is most likely the very last chapter. I only wrote it because I found the floppy and I was bored as hell. You all thought I'd left this to rott huh:3

What horrors we bare Ch. 2-
Soft beeping filled the small white room. Two bodies connected to wires and machines breathed slowly deep asleep. The peaceful aroma in the room seemed to brighten the room a little more and the contrasts of there own colors against the starch whiteness of the room made it less bland.
Flowers all fully bloomed and beautiful filled the space on the small dressers next to both beds. Long past their wilting stages they seemed to grow more with each passing day. And passerby who walked by the room seemed to calm and pause to stare, only to walk away, a little happier then before.
A clipboard hung at the end of both beds shining brightly as the rays of sunshine shone on them from a window situated by the left wall. The names printed boldly with shiny black letters caught your attention at first glance. And the description of their strange comatose state boggled even the greatest doctor.
That is any human doctor. The doctors of this particular hospital knew perfectly well what was wrong with the two and could do nothing but keep them alive until they awoke.
A rustle of clothing was the only un-mechanical sound that filled the room, it seemed the two had visitors.
"How much longer will they be like this Koenma?" The punk detective known as Yusuke asked.
"I don't know… It's up to them." Koenma answered sucking nervously on his binky. For this particular visit he had allowed himself to appear in his older form.
"Why…?" Yusuke asked for the millionth time, but he knew that the elder boy had no answer to that question no matter how many times he asked.
Koenma sighed and stared longingly at the white ceiling. He, too, would also like to know that answer. But he didn't.
Silence fell between the two and they both stared at the ones in the beds. They looked as if they were only sleeping and any second they would wake up. They knew better. There was a good chance they would wake up but… who knew when it would be. If ever.
Only the ones sleeping did. The one thing that brought a little relief too Yusuke was the fact that they would wake up, some day.
"Do you think… they will be like that for a lot longer?" Yusuke asked, his eyes had traveled to the blinking monitor by Hiei's bed. His heartbeat seemed in sync with Kurama's.
"I hope not…" Koenma answered gently. It had already been a few months since the two had been discovered wrapped in each-others arms, tear stained cheeks, and sorrowful breaths.
Shiori, Kurama's mother had had to have her memories altered and when Kurama awoke she wouldn't know he had ever been gone. That is, if it was in her lifetime.
Weeks after that the pale moonlight shone through the thin shades and illuminated the restless bodies tucked tightly in the crisp sheets.
Dark green eyes that could stop any man in their tracks slowly blinked open. Unused muscles stretched joyfully.
Deep red eyes that usually showed nothing followed slowly after and stared disoriented out at the room.
"Whe…" Hiei started, and paused when his voice cracked and his throat stung from misuse.
Kurama sat up letting the covers fall off him to his legs. He turned his eyes to the other and smiled warmly ignoring his dry lips that made it hurt to do the small act. He noticed the flowers and sighed when they showered him with warmth congratulating him on finally waking.
Hiei sat up as well softly clasping his neck and wincing at the unfamiliar pain. He noticed the small jar of water next to the plants probably for a prior visitor or maybe for them. He picked it up and drank from it gasping for breath when Kurama pulled it from his hands.
"You'll get sick if you drink to much." Kurama whispered upon seeing the glare he received. He took a small gulp from the jar and sat it back down.
"Hn." Hiei replied and rested his head on the soft flesh of Kurama's shoulder.
Kurama stroked his hair and wrapped his free arm around the smaller boys' shoulders. "I'm glad…" Was all Kurama said leaving the rest unsaid. Hiei nodded against the familiar warmth and unfamiliar clothing.
"It feels like an eternity has passed." Kurama sighed and buried his nose in Hiei's hair.
"I'm sorry…" Hiei whispered unfamiliar with the word it rolled off his tongue awkwardly.
"Don't be. I chose to go with you and I would never change that." Kurama said continuing with his gentle caress.
Hiei remained silent still and wrapped his arms around Kurama's waist. "I… am glad you did." Hiei said sounding sincere in every way though those words also arrived awkwardly.
"I know." They sat like that for what seemed like hours and finally Kurama leaned back into Hiei's now cool pillows. Bringing Hiei's small frighteningly thin frame down against his chest. He wondered if he had lost as much as well.
"Tired." Kurama stated closing his eyes. For the first time in months both of them fell into a dreamless sleep to get some real rest.
"Doctor!" A high-pitched voice yelled waking both boys up instantly; confused and drowsy Hiei glared menacingly at the small blue girl currently yelling for some assistance.
Kurama blinked away sleep and rubbed his eyes tiredly.
A tall burly man wearing a white coat entered the room, panting and rushed he smiled gleefully at the two boys laying on each-other in the twin bed, eyes open and wide awake.
"Call Koenma tell him they are finally awake." The doctor demanded of the nurse. When she left he crossed the space and went to check Kurama's, and Hiei's awareness to their surroundings.
When the half-dressed prince of death entered the medium sized room and saw both his detectives were awake he felt like whopping for joy and kissing someone. So he did.
Unfortunately the only one close enough to kiss was a just as neat looking Yusuke who had been at the Princes chambers when the call had come in discussing a new mission that was top priority.
"Bleh! Damn it Koenma keep your lips to yourself." Yusuke shouted forgetting his excitement for a moment, to glare.
"Oh… Sorry." Koenma said blinking stupidly. Then he remembered why he had done that and rushed over to the two bemused demons.
"How are you feeling?" He managed to ask after a few minutes of just staring.
"Hn."
"Good."
"Good, Great!" Koenma couldn't help smiling and Yusuke who was right next to him seemed to light up the whole room ten fold with his large grin.
"Exactly… how long have we been asleep?" Kurama asked a little creeped out by the stares that Hiei and he were getting.
"A little over five months." Yusuke answered his smile faltering and faded fast. The doctor took this as a sign to leave and did so as quietly as possible. Koenma's face seemed to have darkened as well and all traces of joy had disappeared.
Kurama grew slightly confused by this and Hiei felt… guilty.
"Why did you do it?" Yusuke finally asked the question he wanted answered so badly.
"… That…is not my place to say." Kurama said tightening his hold on Hiei unnoticeably by anyone but Hiei. When the doctor had tried to get them to separate both had refused and glared until he had given up. Though they had been together the whole time they hadn't been able to feel each-other and they needed that now more then anything.
"Then whose is it?" Yusuke asked desperately. Ever since that horrid day when he had found out his friend had been… violated he had been asking why to everything that happened and he wanted at least one of those questions answered.
"Hiei's." Kurama answered. Hiei who had remained out of the conversation glared at the detective in front of him. Until he saw the look in the others eyes. He looked away and sighed.
He didn't know how to explain. He himself didn't understand what had made him do what he did. And he was lucky he was even alive if he hadn't decided to go to Kurama's when he did who knew… he'd probably have skewered himself on his trusty Katana.
"Hiei." Yusuke probed. Koenma listened nearly holding his breath.
"I needed too." He finally said making eye contact with his former enemy. "Kurama, just wouldn't let me go alone."
Yusuke nodded. It wasn't the answer he was hoping for but it was better then nothing and he was able, from prior information, to figure out why Hiei had needed too.
"Don't do it again." Yusuke said sounding far less like his cheeky self and more somber.
"I can't promise that, Yusuke." Hiei said, he knew Kurama was listening to this part more intently then the rest of the conversation. "But I can promise… that I won't take so long if there ever is a next time."
Yusuke smiled softly and felt a weight lift off of him. Again it's not exactly what he wanted but… it was better then a no. And there was a great chance that it would never happen again. Because from the looks of it, Hiei would never be alone long enough to be used, and broken, again.
"Koenma-sama, Yusuke-chan, sirs, these two need their rest…" The same nurse that had woken them up said softly from the door.
Both boys were startled from their thoughts and Koenma nodded at the nurse to confirm that they would be leaving. She smiled and left them for their good-byes.
"The doctor said you guys are healthy, and you should be out of here by tomorrow hopefully, if you can walk." Yusuke said smiling once more.
"That's good we should get together with the others when we are released." Kurama said Hiei leaned back against the warm chest and closed his eyes.
"That Baka, better not touch Yukina." Hiei grunted.
Koenma smiled at this. They said their good-byes. As Yusuke finally left the room Kurama and Hiei could here Koenma ask: "You didn't enjoy my kiss?" And both nearly started to laugh hysterically when a loud Yelp was the reply.
"Either Koenma got pummeled or he is molesting Yusuke." Hiei said straightening his face to the best of his ability.
"Let's hope it's neither." Kurama replied his voice full of amusement.
A welcomed silence filled the room their breathing seemed to go back in sync.
"Did you mean it?" Hiei finally asked breaking the peace.
"Yes, and I'll tell you a million more times if you don't believe me." Kurama answered knowing exactly what Hiei meant by his abrupt question.
"Say it out loud?" Hiei asked almost pleading. Almost.
"Ai shiteru, Hiei, Koi." Kurama complied and kissed the side of Hiei's neck.
Hiei smiled unseen by anyone from his position. "… Ai shiteru, Kitsune… Koi." He answered after a brief pause. He turned around and lay his chest along Kurama's body, their legs intertwined and their lips met in a passionate kiss.
'What a nice ending. One day though, who knows, another horrible burden may weigh down on us, until that day though… I'll make every second better then the last.' Kurama thought before giving himself completely to the others warm lips.
End
Been a long time since I have touched this story. :3 I was still thinking up my Hiei/Yusuke story, Which now that I think about it I did a crappy job on… Ehem. Anyway, hope you like the last chapter. I had fun writing it. I have done so many different scenarios and tossed them all. Then I got bored I was looking through my giant pile of floppies and found this one so… I wrote for about an hour went through it made some changes and now I like what I did. When I post it I'll probably hate it but meh. That's just writers remorse. :Sigh: Well this is the last chapter I think I probably have nothing else that could make this any better other then a lemon but I'm all lemoned out I'm afraid. I have done so many that I don't think I could make one good enough that doesn't sound like another I have written. That is all.
