Fic 2!! I hope you like it!

Part 2 Vanished!

Hiei stopped practicing when he felt Kurama's energy signature nearby. What's he doing here? He should be at that infant brain hospital place. Grabbing his stuff he followed Kurama's energy to a playground. There he found the fox with some children and his classmates playing. Actually Kurama was singing softly with a black haired girl about twelve years old.

Greeneyes?

Hey Firefly! Come to check on me?

Just seeing what you were up to.

I'm fine, Dragon. Go have fun.

Hiei smirked and left. That's what he loved about Kurama. Unlike Murkuro, Kurama doesn't restrain him. He lets Hiei go where he wanted but if Hiei is out for a long time without an explanation then Kurama would question.

Going into the city he went into a shop and bought some ice cream. His sweet snow. He used some money Kurama gave him. Walking out he ate the ice cream slowly, so as to not get "brain freeze" as humans called it. First time he had sweet snow, and brain freeze, was an unforgetful event for them, especially for Hiei.

**Flashback**

It was two years ago at Kurama's birthday party. Shiori was out leaving the house to the party animals but before she left her and Kurama made a delicious dinner and bought plenty of snacks. (KD: you would for how much Yusuke and Kuwabara eats. Y/K: Hey! ^_^;)

The girls were dancing to the music, Keiko teaching Yukina some steps. Yusuke and Kuwabara left on hour after Shiori did and came back with two pack of beer each. They threw the bottles in a separate trash bag so Kurama wouldn't get in trouble.

The CD ended and the girls sat down to rest. Shizuru popped a cigarette in her mouth and grabbed a bottle.

"What should we do now," asked Yukina, her face flushed from dancing.

"Karaoke," said Yusuke starting the machine and, picking up the mike, he started to sing. Who would have thought that a delinquent like Yusuke had a nice voice, even Kuwabara could sing and they both were half drunk. Everyone had a round, except Hiei till Yukina asked him. He sat on the sill with a bottle till Yukina asked him to sing a song.

When Kurama handed out the cake and ice cream Hiei looked at his plate curiously.

"What's this?"

"It's cake and ice cream, Hiei," said Yusuke.

"Don't you have that where you're from," asked Kuwabara sarcastically.

"No, idiot. For me food was whatever I could find and quickly cram in my mouth."

"Just eat it, Hiei. It's good," said Kurama.

"Looks like burned bread and colored snow."

"Just try it, Hiei," said Yusuke.

"Please try it, Hiei," asked Yukina.

Hiei looked at Yukina and picked up the fork. He slowly ate the cake, tasting the chocolate flavor. When he came to the ice cream he took a tiny taste, then dug in. it wasn't colored snow any more, it was sweet snow!

"Not so fast on the ice cream, Hiei," warned Keiko.

But Hiei already was done and gave his plate to Kurama for more. Kurama gave him more and he dug in again.

"Shouldn't you warn him," asked Yusuke.

"Keiko tried. Let him learn the hard way," said Kurama.

Suddenly Hiei roared, "My head! It feels like it's…it's…"

"Frozen," suggested Kuwabara.

"AAAH," roared Hiei clutching his head.

"Here," said Kurama. Taking Hiei's shoulder he led Hiei to the coach and sat him down. "Put your head between your knees and breathe slowly."

Hiei did what Kurama said. Kurama gently rubbed Hiei's back to soothe the demon. After a while Hiei sat up and sighed. Getting up he walked back to the window and finished his ice cream, slowly this time.

Ever since then Hiei loved his sweet snow and Kurama had a jug in his fridge.

**End flashback**

Hiei was snapped out of his memory when someone bumped into him, making him drop his ice cream.

"Hey! Watch it!"

Looking up he saw a blue school uniform and short orange hair. It was Kuwabara.

"What? You watch it shrimp!"

"Idiot! You owe me more sweet snow!

"Hey, Hiei! What's up?" said Yusuke.

Hiei nodded his head at Yusuke and glanced at Kuwabara's friends. What were their names again?

I don't think I met them?

"Hiei this is Okubo, Kirishima, and Sawamura. This is Hiei, guys. We've been friends for a while. Whatcha doing, Hiei? Shouldn't you be at your boss's place?"

"I'm on leave and I was having some sweet snow till this klutz walked into me!"

"You walked into me, half pint!"

"Oaf!"

"Runt!"

"Bastard!"

"Three eyed freak!"

"HUMAN!"

"DEMON!"

Kuwabara's friends sweat dropped and Yusuke groaned, wishing Kurama was there.

************************

Kurama was playing with Koaru when Shuichi when called him.

"Kurama, we're playing volleyball. Want to play?"

"But I have to watch Koaru."

"She won't go anywhere, she'll be fine. Come on."

"Well….okay. One game."

Kurama walked over and took the ball from Kenji and served. They played one round then two. Every now and then Kurama would check on Koaru. After their fourth round he forgot about her. After an hour he sat down and looked around. He felt he missed something. Then it hit him.

"Koaru!"

************************

Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei and Kuwabara's friends walked in the park. Hiei ate his new cone of sweet snow after threatening the oaf with a little friend of his. (^_^) He was licking it off his fingers when Kurama ran into them from the tree.

"Guys! Please you have to help me!"

"Whoa whoa, Kurama. Slow down," said Yusuke. "What's got you tail in a twist?"

"Not funny, Yusuke. I was at a children's mental home…"

"Mental home?" asked Kuwabara. "Isn't that a place for loony's?"

"He told me about it," said Hiei. "I said that you should go to one, oaf."

"Why you….wait a minute. When did you talk to Kurama?"

"Last night," said Kurama blushing. "Remember it was raining. He needed a place to stay."

"Shuddup, guys," said Yusuke. "Get on with the story, Kurama."

"Well, I was put in charge of a girl named Koaru. We were at the park and I was playing volleyball for a minute and when I check on her she was gone."

"What does she look like?" asked Yusuke. "What's wrong with her?"

"She has black hair with a reddish tinge and brown eyes. She was wearing a white blouse and blue jeans. She is autistic, so don't be surprised if she doesn't respond to you or see you approach her. If you find her bring her to the playground."

"Okay, Kuwabara and I will go to one side, you three the opposite and Hiei, Kurama, pick a direction," said Yusuke going off with Kuwabara. Okubo and the others went to opposite direction, leaving Hiei and Kurama alone. Kurama looked at Hiei and chuckled.

"What, fox?!"

"You have some ice cream on your chin."

Hiei move his hand to wipe it with his sleeve but Kurama caught his arm.

"Let me," he said and licked Hiei's chin. He gave Hiei a kiss. "Can you find her with your Jagan? Please, love?"

He grunted and unwrapped his Jagan. He closed his seeing eyes to Look in it. After a few minutes he opened his eyes and pointed.

"That way."

"Go on ahead. I'll call the others."

Hiei nodded, wrapped his Jagan and disappeared. Jumping from tree to tree he head to where he sensed the girl was. He was there in a few minutes, finding her and trouble. Eight school thugs had surrounded her and were now taunting her while she was singing a song.

"What are you doing here alone," said one.

"You think you're some opera singer," said another

"Hey," yelled Hiei. "I suggest you step away from the girl."

"And what are you going to do about it, short stuff," said the leader. Hiei knew that for the gang stayed close to him. He felt his anger boil at the taunt.

"I'll fight you."

"You and what army?'

"This army," said a voice behind him. Hiei turned around to Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Kuwabara's friends. Kurama led Koaru from the battle field and walked to his friends.

"Hiei," he said, "you might want to leave you katana against a tree."

Hiei did and his scarf and cloak. He returned to the others and stood in a stance for hand to hand fighting so did the others.

"Hey, what happened to your arm?" asked one guy

"Burned it, some time ago. Let's fight!"

The fight began. Two rounded on Kuwabara and the rest got one person to fight. Hiei's was down in a few seconds and went to help Kurama with his thug. Yusuke handled the leader. In a few minutes the fight was over.

"I thought you didn't like street fighting, Kurama," asked Kuwabara.

"I made an exception," he said leading Koaru away. Hiei picked up his stuff quickly and followed them.

Thank you very much said a soft sweet voice.

Kurama stopped. Hiei bumped into him. He looked up at Kurama's confused face.

"Hey kitsune, what's wrong?"

"Did you hear something? A soft voice?"

Hiei shook his head, Kuwabara and Yusuke the same. Okubo and the others were just confused.

It was me. I just wanted to say thank you.

Kurama looked at Koaru who was looking at the ground. He knew Hiei didn't contact him, neither did Kuwabara and Yusuke didn't have that technique. Okubo and the others were just human. So that left…

"Koaru?"
