Hiei paced back and forth in front of the entrance waiting for the kitsune to return. He had been gone all day with Kuronue and Hiei was becoming angry at the fox for never being home. Amongst his anger, Hiei was thinking of a way to escape, How was it that Kuronue got through Youko’s defenses?
Perhaps Youko made it so his traps would recognize the koumari. Yes, that would explain why Kuronue could come running up to the cave whenever he felt like it. But what about the first time? Kuronue didn’t have to dodge traps then either.
Wait a minute, he didn’t have to dodge traps the time Youko dragged him back from Kuronue’s cave; that must be the key!
Hiei’s pace quickened as he found the solution, and his brain stemmed off into five different conversations with himself as he tried to think of a way to have Youko escort him from the tomb.

Youko returned late that night, his neck piled with necklaces and his hands full of gems. Hiei could smell the alcohol on his breath as he entered the cave stumbling once or twice before coming to sit at the burned out fire. Lighting it rather easily, the kitsune lay down beside it and watched the flames calmly, the silence only being interrupted by a hiccup now and then.
Hiei watched amusedly, deciding this was his chance. Waiting till the fox was well asleep, Hiei crept to his side and stooped behind him to pick him up bride-style. Hiei paused as the sleeping kitsune got comfortable in his arms, then continued toward the door, unaware of the clouds that loomed over him, crowding the sky.
Hiei stepped lightly, fearful of waking his captor and afraid of setting off something that was not triggered by ki but by motion. ‘I wish I didn’t have to drag the fox with me. If only he had just set me free; there is no reason for me to be there anyways, its not like I was doing work for him or anything,’ Hiei seethed, looking down at Youko and scowling. ‘Gods he’s heavy.’ They were almost to the end though, Hiei could see the tree that marked the end of the long ‘hallway’ of traps. As he picked up his pace a little, he felt a wet raindrop fall on his nose. Looking up to the sky, Hiei saw it was covered in thick, dark-gray clouds--not a single star shone through.
He felt another raindrop on his shoulder as it started to drizzle and he picked up his pace to jogging, hoping the rain wouldn’t wake the fox. Five yards from the tree, something unexpected caught Hiei’s attention. A rain of spirit arrows was shot toward them, and Hiei was unable to duck with the kitsune in his arms. Dodging them best he could, he managed to escape most of them, but one scathed his cheek and another cut Youko’s arm. Hiei looked down to see that the fox’s arm was bleeding badly. He was finally out of the danger zone and he was about to bolt for the forest, but hesitated at the sight of Youko’s wound. Hiei scowled at himself, but approached the fox again, tearing off a thick strip of his shirt to wrap the kitsune’s arm. As he was tying the last knot, it abruptly began pouring, and Hiei felt he had to leave now if he was going to escape without a fight. Turning on his heel, he walked 5 paces before a calm melodious voice stopped him in his tracks.
“Hiei your leaving already?” Hiei turned to face the kitsune, hand on his katana.
“You really think I want to stay here with you?” he asked, a growl in his throat making his words sound harsh.
“Well you did give your word, I hoped…” Youko looked down at his lap, for he was still sitting, as he trailed off, letting his phrase sink in with the sound of the rain.
Hiei snorted at the childish fox, “My word is only final when I want it to be, its my word and I can go back on it if I wish.” Youko looked up at him, a pain in his eyes that could be surpassed by no physical pain.
“…Very well. Goodbye Hiei.” he concluded, his ears twitching from the cold wet of the rain upon them.
“Sayonara Fox,” Hiei muttered in return as he turned once more and walked away into the forest.
