“Hiei,” Yusuke yelled from the bedroom.

Hiei sighed. He had gotten up early and didn't want to stay in the same room is Yusuke. He decided to go to the living room and get some of his homework done. The teachers had given him all of his make-up work since his `illness,' plus he had other homework that was due that week. He had to catch up and prove to Kuwabara that he could do this and try not to screw up at the same time to satisfy Yusuke. In truth, Hiei didn't want to answer Yusuke, but he knew he had to in order not to get into trouble.

“I'm right here, detective. If you had walked in here you would have known that.”

Yusuke walked into the living room to see that Hiei was sitting in a sea of textbooks and papers. Yusuke had feared the worst when Hiei was not in the bedroom with him. Yusuke started to laugh when he realized Hiei was OK.

“Why are you laughing detective?”

“It's nothing. Just a me thing, I guess. Now let's get some breakfast. What do you want?”

“I'm too busy to eat.”

“Suit yourself.”

Yusuke went to the kitchen and began to make breakfast. Hiei went back to his work. In truth, it was difficult for him to concentrate. He had not gotten much sleep the night before and Yusuke was now up and would pay attention to every move he made. Hiei sighed in exasperation and put his homework down. He moved from his spot on the floor to the couch. He watched Yusuke move around in the kitchen for a minute before he layed down on the couch and closed his eyes. He would just rest a minute and then he would finish his work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

Yusuke walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice in his hands.

“Hiei, I brought you some food any…”

He paused when he saw Hiei was on the couch asleep. Yusuke smiled. At least he wouldn't cause any trouble while he was asleep.

Oh well, more for me.

He took the bowl back to the kitchen and then went to the bedroom to get a blanket. He placed the blanket over Hiei's body and returned to the kitchen to eat. When he finished, the phone rang.

“Hello,”

“Hello Yusuke, how are things going?” Kurama asked.

Yusuke smiled. He could always count on Kurama if he needed something.

“Better, I guess. Hiei's not really happy with me.”

“It will pass. Hiei doesn't really hold grudges for very long. Anyway that was the reason I was calling. Koenma contacted me since he could not get a hold of you. He's concerned. His father is pressuring him to take Hiei into custody. Koenma fears that his father will take action if he doesn't.”

“Is it really that bad?”

“I'm afraid so. Koenma wanted me to warn you to keep an even closer watch on Hiei. He knows of the deal you made with Hiei, and his father knows of it. His father fears you will be too soft on Hiei and not deliver on what you said you would do. He doesn't want to deal with anymore trouble.”

“I know and I said what I said out of anger. I don't plan on taking Hiei to Spirit World, but I still plan to hang my promise over his head for his own good.”

“Just watch out Yusuke. King Yama won't hesitate to send his own men, the Spirit World Special Defense Force (SDF). They are the best Spirit World has. Be careful.”

“I will Kurama. I'm not worried about a group of stupid tools. Besides Hiei will stay in line.”

“Goodbye, Yusuke and good luck.”

“Thanks Kurama. Talk to you later.”

Yusuke hung up the phone.

Now I just need to get Hiei to save someone by sacrificing himself. Fat chance he'll do it. It's not his style.

Yusuke walked back to the living room only to find Hiei awake and not happy.

“You…., you…” Hiei said as he jumped off the couch and looked at him.

“Me…what?”

“You lied to me. I heard the entire conversation. If you're so worried about your precious time, then I can leave.”

“No Hiei, you're staying here.”

He only made a growling noise and stomped into the bedroom. Yusuke started to follow him, but Hiei slammed the door in his face. When Yusuke went to open it he found that it was locked.

“Hiei, I'm not done talking to you.”

Hiei didn't respond.

“HIEI OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!”

Instead of a voice, Yusuke heard movement inside the bedroom. It sounded like someone hitting the floor.

“HIEI! I'M GIVING YOU TO THE COUNT OF THREE BEFORE I BANG THIS DOOR DOWN!”

Again there was no response.

“ALL RIGHT 1…2…3…” Yusuke yelled.

He bolted through the door only to see that Hiei was not alone. Members of the SDF were there. Hiei was knocked out and laying on the floor.

“What the…?” Yusuke got out before he was blasted backwards. He jumped up and ran to the doorway only to see the members of the SDF flying out of the window with Hiei.”

“COME BACK YOU TOOLS!”

It was too late. They were gone.
