Where is my happy ending?

I want to give a really great big thanks to my wonderful reviewers, Adalleria and Marikalay, and my newest reviewers, Dragon 77, saiyuri-dahlia, welcome. Oh and I realised I did not do any disclaimers. Yu Yu Hakusho is not mine nor its characters.

"Good night my sexy fox."

He heard a small laugh. "Goodnight, my sexy dark prince."

The dreadful day...

Kurama woke up to notice that Hiei was gone. Looking around the room, it didn't seem as if Hiei took anything, but then again, he wouldn't need ningen clothes in Makai.

'He didn't even say goodbye.' Kurama thought as he grabbed his robe and draped it around his body. He didn't know what to do now. Spending a few days as Hiei's official lover was such paradise; he didn't know how to go back to his bachelor's life he tricked everyone into believing he loved so much.

'I didn't know I loved him that much that, I can't think straight. I knew I loved him, but this is making me feel weak and giddy knowing he is gone. Why did our time end so fast? Hiei, why did you have to go back? They say good things never last, but this is ridiculous.' Kurama thought depressingly as he made his way in to the kitchen to make some breakfast. 'It seems as if he took my energy with him.' Looking up to view the kitchen, Kurama had a very pleasant surprise.

"it's about time you woke up, fox." Hiei said with a side smile.

"Hiei." Kurama was shocked and ran to Hiei and hugged him not wanting to let go, as he buried his head against Hiei's neck.

"Fox? What's wrong?" Hiei was a bit taken aback by Kurama's behaviour.

"I thought you were gone. I wondered why you didn't say goodbye." He finished with a sniffle.

Pulling the fox away from him to look directly into his face, he turned the fox's face so he was looking into his eyes. "I would never do that. You should know better."

"Why do you have to go? The time seems to go so fast. I lied about liking to be alone. Especially now that I have you, I love the feeling of being in love more. "

"I am coming back, you know."

"What if you don't?" It came out as a whisper, as he looked away.

"Fox," He said as he forced eye contact. "I have a reason to come back. I never thought love could be so powerful. All these years I saw it as a weakness that your enemies can use against you, but it is strength. Knowing you're waiting for me to return here, will give me strength to return faster. And I don't have to worry about you, because you're Yoko Kurama, no one will dare cross your path." He finished with a smile.

"I know you're right Hiei, and it scares me how much I became so use to being with you in a lover's context. I just wish that..."

"I know fox." He paused, "I'll have to leave after lunch." Changing the subject now, he moved on to a much needed lighter topic. "Breakfast is ready."

"It all looks so good, I can't wait to indulge." Kurama responded, grateful for the topic change. 'I don't want to be sad on Hiei's last day.' He prepped himself to be more optimistic.

There was no talking afterward. Neither lover knew what else to say. They wanted to cherish the last moments without words but with each other's presence.

After lunch, Hiei got ready for his trip. Entering their bedroom, he realised that he had nothing to pack. Turning around to see his fox at the door watching his every movement with a sadden look, he couldn't bare it. He didn't know leaving would have been so hard when he was coming to Ningenkai. Well he didn't know Kurama would have returned his feelings.

"Hiei..." but he was cut off.

"I hate goodbyes, so I am not saying it." He firmly stated as he walked towards his fox.

"I don't want you to." Kurama whispered against his lips, now in full contact with Hiei's. They kissed as if they would never see again. The kiss held all the love, passion and need that they possess. Hiei tightened his hold on his fox, deepening the kiss more not wanting to let go. They didn't stop until they heard a noise. Pulling away Hiei took out his inter-world communicator. Flipping it open, he saw that it was none other than Mukuro. With his hands still encircled the fox's waist, he answered, pissed off that she interrupted his moment with his fox.

"What do you want, woman."

"Hiei, you should be on your way already."

"Don't push me. You should be happy that I am coming back."

"You have no choice but to."

"You really think that. It is sad. I make my own choice, and no one tells me otherwise." He growled at her.

Taking the communicator from Hiei's hand, Kurama started. "Mukuro-Sama, I am sorry to keep Hiei long. I will delay him no longer."

"Well well... Hiei, you should have told me tha..."

"it's none of your damn business."

Ignoring Hiei's outburst, she continued. "Kurama, darling, how have you been? I am sorry I have to take Hiei away from you after not seeing him for so long."

'Like hell you are,' he thought, but he put on a smile for her. "Don't let it bother you, it is his responsibility as your heir to be by you side when you beakon him."

"Thank you for understanding Kurama, I'll try to have him back to you as soon as possible and in one piece."

"Thank you." Kurama ended it as he handed the compact to Hiei.

"Hiei you bet..." before she could have finished, he cut her off.

"Hiei, you should go now. The faster you go, the faster you'll come back."

"You know that's not true."

"I'd like to think that. It will be weird going back to my previous life before you came a few weeks ago. It's like adjusting from living in luxury to living day after day worrying about life's essentials."

"I know, Fox." He said as he strapped on his beloved katana. Giving Kurama one more kiss, he pulled back and looked into that lovely face. "I'll see you later fox. It's not good bye, but, see you later tonight in your dreams." He winked and flitted off faster than the eyes can see.

Kurama just stared at the spot Hiei was just occupying. A smile graced his face as he thought of Hiei's last words. "In my dreams? What is he up to?" He paused and shook his head to clear his mind. "Well I should go visit Genkai to get my mind away from the obvious."

Walking up the stairs to Genkai's temple, he heard yelling. "Yusuke get back here with that onigiri."

"No, you didn't feed me yet, and I'm hungry, You can be very mean, Keiko." Came the voice of Yusuke. "Oh hey Kurama, hide me from that mean lady." He said in a child like manner as he pointed to Keiko.

"Hello Keiko, looking lovely as usual." He smiled tenderly at Keiko.

"Thanks Kurama, oh you missed Hiei, he just passed by."

"Oh really? "He asked not knowing that Hiei would make a stop before going to Makai, but why wouldn't he? Yukina was here. "So what are you two doing here?"

This time Yusuke answered, finally feeling brave enough to come from hiding, because he'd finish eating. "We like to come here once in a while. You go, to get back at nature." Kurama raised an eyebrow at that.

"Yusuke, you idiot, it's to get in tune with nature."

"Well whatever, its close enough hahaa." He laughed putting his hands behind his head. "So foxy, what brought you here today on this fine day."

"Yusuke! Have manners for your elders." Came Keiko as she saw Kurama's embarrassed look after hearing what Yusuke called him.

"Kurama is fine with it, he's hip, and you're not, oh no wait... Nah.... you just have hips." He replied with a burst of laughter.

Burning with anger, Keiko hunted Yusuke down as he ran for his life. "Awe Keiko, you know I was joking. You know I love you hips and that firm butt of yours."

"YUSUKE, SHUT UP."

Seeing this, Kurama smiled, 'This is just what I need.' He thought as he tried not to laugh out loud when Keiko finally caught up with Yusuke and beat him to a pulp. 'No demon can touch him, but a petite human girl can disfigure him.' Kurama laughed as he went into the temple to get away from the sun.

"Ah, hello Kurama-san. What a pleasant surprise seeing you here today." A sweet voice said.

"Hello, Yukina. Yes. I decided to stop by today, since I had nothing to do today."

"Oh, you should have come earlier, Hiei-san stopped by. He said he was going back to Makai and wasn't sure when he was coming back." She said with a smile.

'He doesn't know when he's returning?' That pained Kurama but he didn't want Yukina to see that. "Oh don't worry Yukina, I'm sure he'll be back soon. At least we have each other to keep ourselves occupied, ne?" He faked a smile for her.

"Kurama-san, you saw Hiei before he left, right?"

That took him by surprise. Does she know? "Yes, but he did not tell me when he was returning."

She picked up on the sadness in his voice. "You love him, don't you?" She whispered to him as she saw Keiko passed by them, dragging a very beaten up Yusuke.

"Don't mind us, we're just passing through." Keiko said with a triumphed smile.

Looking back at Yukina, Kurama saw that she was waiting for a response. He sighed. "Is it that obvious?"

"No, it wasn't at first, but when we had that get together when Hiei-san came back, there was something different." She giggled at the shock look on Kurama's face. "Don't worry, I don't believe no one else noticed. I am very good at this and I am a healer after all. Will I be wrong if I said Hiei-san return your feeling?"

Now Kurama was flabbergasted. No one can read Hiei as well as he can, but this is his sister we're talking about. They have the same blood, so it's almost instinct even though she doesn't know Hiei is her true long lost brother. "You are good, Yukina. He has."

"Ahhh.... I am so happy for the two of you. It all makes sense as to why I haven't seen you two in a good while, and also when Kazuma told me he saw you and Hiei-san entering a movie theatre down town. He was shocked seeing Hiei out in the daylight and not bursting in flames, and that was his words not mine." She smiled.

'Oh crap, we were spotted. Hiei would kill Kuwabara.' "Uh yes, we decided to go out instead of cooping up indoors. It was Hiei's first time out in a long time. I wanted him to enjoy himself." He stated.

"I hope I am not being nosy, but since you two have feelings for each other, does that mean that you are together, I mean officially together?"

"Yes."

"Ah.... I am so excited for you." Then she stopped. "Oh I'm sorry Kurama-san. I know it would be hard with Hiei in Makai now."

"It's alright Yukina. We didn't say goodbye." That confused her. Kurama clarified. "it would seem as if he wasn't going to come back if it was good bye, so it was more of a 'see you later' farewell. I actually like that better."

"That's so sweet, now I can really see why Aoi wasn't right for you, well besides the fact that your heart was with Hiei from the beginning."

Curiosity hit the fox. "What can you see Yukina?" he asked in a calm voice.

"Well... for one, she is human. Hiei understands you best. Better than anyone alive, I would say. You have a softness to you that can only be complimented with someone more dominant than you are, in a personality sense, of course. And as a kitsune, you crave a sense of danger, which a weak human girl cannot fulfil, but a youkai as strong and may I say, daring, carefree and somewhat dangerous as Hiei can satisfy. Am I right?" She laughed when she saw that Kurama mouth was open with a surprised/shocked look on his face.

"Wow, Yukina, you are too good." He said with a smile.

"I am a youkai after all. I know a bit about kitsune-tachi." She giggled.

"I guess you're right Yukina. Thank you for accepting us." He smiled warmly at her.

"So does Shiori-san know?" She gave a curious look when Kurama laughed.

"We both believed she pushed us together. She loves Hiei."

"That's wonderful Kurama, I couldn't be happier for the both of you. You both deserve the best." She said as she hugged the fox. Kurama hugged her back.

"Yo, Kurama, I'm gone and you ready to take my Yukina." Came the brass voice of Kuwabara.

"Kazuma, you're back." Yukina ran towards him.

"Hi, Yukina, of course I came back. I just came from school." He said giddily.

"Hello Kuwabara-kun, it's good seeing you again."

"Hey, so what brings you here?"

"Ah nothing. I've just decided to visit."

"Oh great. Hey where's Urameshi. That jerk said he was going to be here."

"Yes, he is inside, resting. Keiko really had a field day with him." Kurama chuckled.

"What did that boy do now." He asked as he went to look for the damaged toushin.

"Uh Yukina, does Kuwabara suspect anything after seeing us together?" Kurama asked cautiously.

"Oh no, he knows you don't like me in that way Kurama-san." She giggled.

"Oh... no Yukina, I mean Hiei and I. I am afraid when Hiei finds out. He'll be after your Kazuma." Kurama warned.

"Um I..."

End for now.
