Hiei had no clue just how far Kurama carried him. It wouldn't be long before he knew either. Kurama figured that after the long walk that Hiei would be dirty and sweaty sinse it hit the middle of the day. Kurama had found a hot springs and decided to clean Hiei up. He slowly stepped into the water with his petite lover in his arms.

When Hiei's feet sank into the water his eyes opened wide and he gasped. Kurama almost dropped him in shock, "HIEI!" Hiei looked at Kurama before realizing that Kurama held him. "Put me down you crazy Fox." Hiei said in a horsed voice. Kurama only stared down at Hiei and smiled, "No, I can't. You are still very weak and I will NOT let you get yourself hurt again."

Hiei didn't look convinced. Kurama sat on a log that was in the water and placed Hiei in his lap. Hiei half floated in his lap as Kurama was careful to clean his wound. After he unwrapped it, of course. After Hiei had fallen to the ground Kurama had immediately grabbed Hiei and bandaged his wounds. So now, he had to unbandage them and clean them out.

Kurama made sure to wait until they were both safe from harm before cleaning up either of them. He knew that Hiei was a little upset about carrying him but mainly relieved that he wasn't hurt. Or at least he thinks so. "Fox? Did you get hurt at all?" Hiei asked watching Kurama closely. "No, the demon took off at he struck you. I am not harmed at all Love." Kurama said still cleaning Hiei's wounds.

Hiei figured that Kurama was telling the truth sense he didn't smell blood and he looked unharmed. Hiei leaned his head against Kurama's shoulder and closed his eyes. Though he appeared to be asleep Kurama knew he has his guard up. Hiei wouldn't take the chance of dropping it sense he has to watch out for Kurama.

Once Kurama made sure that Hiei's wounds were cleaned properly he went and cleaned them both. Hiei never moved once from his spot against Kurama. He didn't though, he liked when Hiei was so affectionate. It made him feel special, even though he knew he was special to Hiei already no matter what. It was true Hiei was very happy and that was all he wanted.

Kurama made sure to not drop Hiei and stood up carefully putting Hiei on his feet. A few seconds later Hiei felt himself being lifted out of the hot springs and a towel getting wrapped around him. Kurama than wrapped a towel around himself and led Hiei into the cave that was near the springs. "We can rest here for a bit before heading back out." Kurama said.

"Ok, sit down and rest than Fox. I'll be fine on my own for a bit. You need the most rest. Who knows how far you walked with me." Hiei said turning looking at Kurama. Before he rested Kurama put some guarding plants at the entrance and than cover it with some others. "You shouldn't use so much youki." Hiei said. Kurama nodded and went to lay down.

"This vacation has been turning out differently than we expected. We were suppose to have lots of fun." Kurama said looking at the ceiling of the cave. Hiei looked over at his mate, "It changed some but we're still going to have lots of fun. Remember this vacation isn't over." Kurama looked at Hiei, "You're right. This vacation has barely started. We still have time."

Hiei laid next to Kurama and nodded. Kurama cuddled up next to Kurama and fell asleep.

NEXT MORNING

Kurama woke up cold. That was unusual, Hiei was also a late sleeper. He sat up to figure out where Hiei was, when he noticed that he wasn't in the cave he fell asleep in. "Hiei?" He called to his mate. Hiei was next to him in a flash, "What's wrong?" "Where are we?" Kurama asked dumbfounded. Hiei than realized why his mate was worried. "We're a few miles from where we were last night. It's only morning and didn't expect you to wake up so soon." Hiei said, hoping it would calm his mate.

Alright I hope you enjoyed that chapter. And I'm sorry for not updating sooner but my dog was put to sleep and I've been depressed.
