Kurama awoke back in the violet silk covers. It was a dream. For this he was thankful, but at the same time dissapointed. He wanted it to be real, Hiei's loved, those familiar kisses. All he knew now was pain. His arm still hurt from last weeks session, and Karasu hadn't touched him since. The wounds were healing slowly. More things to be grateful for. In the back of his mind he wondered 'What happened to the once great Youko?'. THis person... who he was now was just a renmant. Nothing more. Nothing Less.

If he were Youko this wouldn't be a problem at all. He'd be perfectly free to do as he wish and not be HERE. Here was with him. Karasu. Karasu did remind him of his oldest friend. The only one, aside from Hiei, he felt could be trusted. Kuronue

The first person he ever loved. The only man he still loves, to this day, more than Hiei. Kurama buried his head into the pillow when he heard the door open. He could be difficult. He didn't want to be but he was. "Kurama... get up." He could pracitically feel the demon's sneer as those long fingers ran through his hair.

"... No." Kurama bit his lip as soon as that phrase escaped his lips. None to gently his hair was yanked up, his head comming with it.

"What did you say?" The voice was dripping with venom. Kurama had to put up some sort of fight.

"...No, Master." He smirked. A bit of that old fox was comming back.

"I see, I don't want to hurt you again Kurama." Karasu smirked as the 'little' fox winced as the hair was pulled harded. "Now, you have one more chance."

"NO." A slap vibrated off the walls and Kurama covered his mouth. He had slapped Karasu. On one hand his hair was free on the other he was soon on his back, arm broken and coughing up blood. How the hell that happened so fast he didn't know. He did know unconciousness followed soon after.

If it's to protect someone precious to me,

it's OK if this body of mine is wounded

it's OK if this heart of mine burns.

A hardy luagh in a bar. Youko chatted with his raven haired friend, the two walking around the area soon after dark. Kuronue slung an arm lazily over the silverette's shoulders. "Y'know... How about some fun with a woman? We both know you need it."

"Kuronue I believe I said np before and I must say no again. I do not wish to require repeating myself. A woman is to much hassle."

"Awww, Poor Youko. No sex for a while and now you;re refusing free fun. What is the matter, dear friend?"

"... Nothing You Would understand."

"Mymy, touchy. Are you sure you're not a woman?" Kuronue liaghed as Youko playfully swatted him away.

"How dare you!"

"Now you're talking like one!"

"Why you rotten-!!!" And so the chase began. Kuronue ran and Youko was right on his tail. Well... wings at least. And then he went airborne, losing Youko easily. He did, however, make it a point to land on to fox, and pin him to the ground. He KNEW Youko let him, otherwise he'd be on the ground pinned by plants.

The raven hair leaned down so their noses were just touching. Youko's eyes read 'Get off of me' but were betrayed by a rare blush. "Hey Youko..."

"Wh-what?"

"...Sorry." The bat closed the distance and his lips touched the others. There was no resistance so he deepened it, a bit surprised when Youko leaned into it. And things went from there.

-----------------------

"Youko... I'm not sure about this..." They were going to steal that mirror today. Something told him not to.

"It'll be fine!"

----------------------

They were running, so many soldiers right behind them. Kuronue looked behind and kept running for a bit. They were fast and if they cuaght up wit them Youko would... "Youko! I dropped my pendant hold on!!" Youko stopped and looked back, just in time to see his lover killed by a bamboo trap, yelling for him to run. Run Youko did. Kuronue had told him to! He'd be fine, Youko was sure of it!

Kuronue smiled. He had cut his necklace to keep Youko safe. Eyes drifted shut and he went into the wonderful world of blackness.

Your voice, your gentle hands

They call me from out of these dreams. Always, they call me.

Kurama though he felt hands caressing his cheek but when he awoke no one was there. The door. It was open! A smile of hope appeared and he got dressed, slipping out of the door and stopping in front of another. Voices, Yelling, familiarity. YOMI!

"I don't have you're stupid fox, Lord Yomi."

"I beleive you do."

"Do you sense any of his energy here?"

"No but-" At that moment Kurama ran through the door and clung to the Lord's waist. Oh god, he never though he'd be HAPPY to see Yomi!! "...Yo-Kurama."

Yomi smirked and arched an eyebrow. Karasu growled under his throat. How in the world did he wake up! Karasu knew he durgged him. "Yomi... I suppose he is in fact here..."

"I'll be taking him with me then." Yomi smirked and walked with the red-head out of the place. "Happy to see me, I see..."

"... Yes... I just had a dream... About... him. I really..."

Soon enough Kurama was at another temporary hiding spot.

A/n: ... Yeah Kuronue is a fave of mine and I support the YoukoKuronue more than any other pairing more than any other YYH pairing so I had to write him in. :3 The end of that part isn't as sad as I WANTED it to be but it's still pretty sad I think.
