"Hey, Hiei, is Kurama up and moving yet?" Yusuke asked the short fire demon.

It had only been about five hours since the fight and any normal person would have been killed. Even with Madam Pomfrey's magical healing stuff, normal people wouldn't be up for a few days.

"He's still asleep. He'll be fine by morning. He won't even miss one day of class."

"Man, how does he do it?" Yusuke complained. "If I had gotten a burn like that, no matter how bad it was, or how soon I recovered, I would use all the time I could to take off from class."

"Unlike you, Kurama likes to keep up appearances. Only a few teachers know that he was injured. He wants to keep it that way," Hiei explained.

"He's not trying to keep Youko under a tight leash anymore, Hiei. He might skip class. You never know."

"No, that is the main reason why he won't skip class. Youko needs to keep up appearances even more than Kurama," the short demon continued to explain. "I doubt he'll be completely healed by the time the morning comes."

"But it's Kurama," Yusuke said. "Of course he'll be healed. It never takes him long to heal."

"Did you know that when we were at the Dark Tournament, Kurama fought that guy with the fishing wire before he was healed? His injuries were too severe for him to have fought Karasu on that day, but he knew he could handle that guy."

"You're not serious. How could he have still been injured?" The two boys wandered outside. The sky was starting to get dark, but that didn't bother the two at all.

"I'm very serious, Yusuke. For a demon, Kurama heals very slowly. However, that doesn't affect the way he acts or fights."

"I've know Kurama for a while, so how come I haven't been told this?" Yusuke asked.

"You never asked," Hiei replied. "You know the fox, he never gives out any more information than is necessary. You would have noticed he wasn't in perfect condition if you had been there for the fight."

"Well, sorry for not being there, I was caught up in unconsciousness. Do you know how much it hurt just walking to the spot where I collapsed?" Yusuke complained. "Grandma was trying to kill me with that orb."

"Not the way I heard it," Hiei goaded. "I heard that she tried to take it back but you were too hard-headed to listen to her. She tried to spare you the pain."

"Shut up, three-eyes," Yusuke said, accepting Hiei's unspoken challenge.

Instantly, the two boys started trading punches. After only a few seconds the blows were so fast that they weren't even visible anymore. Hiei and Yusuke were both glowing a slight reddish color.

The fight only lasted three minutes. Hiei stopped the fight when Yusuke's fist got too close to where his little Fushicho sat.

"Too close to the bird, Yusuke."

"Oh, oops." Yusuke looked around the place. "Hey, Hiei, do you think we should stop?"

The grass had mostly burned away from the demonic powers that had been emanating from the two fighters.

"We pissed off Kurama," Hiei pointed out. The patches of bare earth were starting to grow grass again. And all the grass pointed toward the castle.

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

Yusuke looked at Kurama apprehensively. Hiei just looked at the fox with a bored look on his face. The red-haired fox was glaring at the two boys.

"You woke me up," Kurama said quietly, "with your juvenile fighting. Did you have to destroy the grass outside?"

"Well," Yusuke started, "we didn't mean to destroy the grass. Well, I didn't, anyway."

"You both have enough power to destroy the world, ten times over, at that, and you think that a little bit of power won't destroy the grass? Have you forgotten that you are a demon, Yusuke?" Kurama said in his quiet-but-angry voice.

Yusuke didn't respond, but he did blush a little; his way of saying that he had indeed forgotten. Hiei hit the back of his head.

"Hey, what was that for?" Yusuke asked indignantly.

"That was for you being an idiot," Hiei replied.

"He's got a point," Kurama said. "There are times when you can be a little . . . what's the nice way of putting it . . .?"

" . . . a dumbass?" Hiei supplied.

"Well, that's certainly what he is, but I wanted the nice way of putting it," Kurama pointed out.

"Okay, guys, you can stop, I know I'm not the smartest person in the world. But that doesn't mean you have to hit me!" Yusuke yelled. He glanced at Kurama and said, "By the way, Kurama, how are your wounds?"

"They're fine, I'll be in classes again tomorrow morning."

"Hiei said something earlier, and I want to know if it's really true. Did you fight in the semi-finals at the Dark Tournament while you were still injured?" Yusuke asked.

Kurama let loose a small smile and said, "Yes, I was still injured. Removing that plant took a lot of concentration and energy that I just didn't have at the moment. In fact, I still had a few very minor injuries when I fought with Karasu."

"Wow, you really do heal slowly, don't you?"

"Yes, I do. I most likely won't heal completely from this until next week. If I was in my true form, however, I would already be in perfect condition." Kurama sighed quietly. "Times like this I wish I wasn't Shuuichi."

"Uh, Lord Kharl?" Garfakcy asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm working, Garfakcy, what does it look like?" responded the alchemist.

"It looks to me as if you're doing a cross word puzzle!" Garfakcy yelled.

"Well, yes, I am doing a cross word puzzle, but only because I'm waiting."

"Waiting? Waiting for what?" Garfakcy asked.

"Waiting for a tuna sandwich!" Kharl replied. "I'm hungry again."

"Ugh, Lord Kharl, remind me again why I put up with you?" Garfakcy questioned in a deadpanned voice as he walked to the kitchen to fix the sandwich.

"You put up with me because I know how to kill you as well as how to keep you alive. Plus, I always have your best interests at heart! And there's never a dull moment with me!" Kharl was in his happy sparkly mood, with all the glitter and glam that always accompanied his mood swings.

As much as he didn't want to admit it to himself, Kharl was right. And Garfakcy had no desire to leave his lord. Kharl had been taking care of him for as long as he could remember.

Garfakcy couldn't remember what life had been like before Lord Kharl, but he was sure it wasn't as interesting as this.

"Oh, Garfakcy, I almost forgot to mention, but I'm going to revive Nadil's generals sooner then I had earlier anticipated."

"The twin generals? But why?"

With a grin that could have stopped a dementor in its tracks, Kharl said, "Because I don't like Voldemort."
