Kuro: Because you all complained enough, I have decided to write a short, short chapter explaining what happened to Hiei and Kurama. By the way, as for those of you who wish to know what happens to Kuronue and Youko after the fic, guess. I'm not really thinking of a sequel, so sorry. Anyway, I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.
[Hiei
He did not follow the others when they trailed after Koenma. He had too much work to do keeping Kurama from entering too deep of shock.
He had determined earlier that Kurama had not lost as much of his soul as he'd originally thought. Kurama must've held tightly to Youko's soul, keeping as much as he could cling to. It also explains why Youko's aura was so weak around the pendant.
The only real danger Kurama was in was the possibility of him sinking into a coma. He would probably wake after his soul nursed its wound awhile, but Hiei was not willing to wait for that.
And so, he did something that he would vehemently deny should anyone ever ask him about it-he laid Kurama's head in his lap, running his fingers through the blood-red hair, and lowered his shields, allowing himself to be immersed in the aura of his mate, his love, his life.
He had no perception of time as it passed. He knew not if seconds, minutes, or hours passed.
All he knew was that Kurama's soul was enveloped in his, seeking comfort and company. It had never been alone before and it was scared.
His soul provided the comfort it sought, though few would believe it to be true. Slowly, Kurama's soul quieted its cry for comfort, content to hide within Hiei's for awhile. It realized that it need not fear being alone so long as Hiei lived. As long as Hiei lived, he would never leave Kurama alone.
Time continued to pass unnoticed by Hiei until Kurama's soul withdrew from within his. He looked down on the face of his love, watching as forest-green eyes unlidded.
"Thank you." Hiei did not have to be told what Kurama was thanking him for; it was obvious.
"Hn." He responded, running his fingers through blood-red hair a little more.
A/N: DONE!! For real this time! R&R, please!
