Review!
And this chapter is dedicated to the Tauruses!
Taurus–
"The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep."
"Hello?"
Keiko sounded nervous, like she knew what she was going to hear already.
"Keiko, it's Kurama. I'm at Yusuke's."
"Kurama? What's wrong? Is Yusuke all right?" She sounded really panicked now.
"Actually, no. I was making some instant pudding, and I left for only a minute to use the bathroom..."
The girl let out a moan. "Don't tell me that you still say it's not Hiei. Did you see the look he gave Yusuke earlier?"
"I'd say that the evidence does strongly point to Hiei," he said simply.
"Will you tell the others? I'll... tell Atsuko."
"Of course."
"Okay. Bye." She was whispering now, like she thought that would help her to keep from crying.
"Goodbye."

"Have a nice time at the mall, Kari-chan?"
His sister was walking in the front door. She looked up at him when he called her name. "Not really," she answered. She hung up her jacket. "Honestly, how do you find the strength to stay here alone? I'd be terrified."
"You are afraid of Hiei. I am not."
"So you think it's Hiei now?"
"Yes," he replied curtly.
"Why?"
Kurama sighed. "Kari-chan... Yusuke is dead."
"Wha–" Tears sprang to her green eyes. "What?"
"Do you remember the glare Hiei gave him earlier?"
She nodded mutely.
He hated to lie to her, but he had no choice. "I was there. I wanted to comfort him... Kuwabara was his friend."
"And you saw him do it?"
"No. I left to use the bathroom. I was only gone for a minute... and when I came back..."
"Have you told Keiko?"
"Yes."
Kari sighed now. "I'll call Kaitou."

They went to Genkai's, everyone who was left – Yukina, Kari, Kaitou, Kurama, and Keiko. Hiei, as usual, was nowhere to be seen.
The group was getting smaller and smaller. Who would be his next victim?
He knew the answer to that even before his eyes finished sweeping the room. He'd kill two birds with one stone tonight.
Taurus. Hiei and his twin, Yukina.
- -
That night, the night of the day Yusuke had died, Kurama did two things. First, he broke into a bank. Second, he used the stolen money to purchase illegal drugs – a huge amount of them – on the Black Market.
Heroin. He was going to overdose them in their sleep. He was going to cheat again – not that he had much of a choice. He'd never stand a chance against Hiei if he was awake.
He would do Hiei first. He was the bigger risk. He knew Kurama was the killer. It was a shame the girl, his twin, had to do for it... but she wouldn't be in pain.
At least Hiei didn't sleep far from the temple.
Again, Hiei did not wake as he approached. He came slowly, silently. He crouched down next to his sleeping form.
Briefly, he wondered if the needle would wake him.
It didn't.
He dropped the empty needle to the ground and kicked it away, hoping to hide it that way. Then moved on to his second victim, wishing she would pose a challenge but knowing she would not...
