A lone figure sat on a dark floor. All around him was black. Black like nothingness. That was where he was. He was in nothing, he was nowhere!! Least that was what he thought.
His eyes scanned the room. No light could be seen anywhere. He took a deep breath. No scents filled the air.
What happened?
Where was he?
At first, he remembered nothing. Then, it hit him like a ton of bricks.
He remembered his mate finding out about him and Yusuke. He remembered all the harsh words that were said after he saw his love get hurt. Then he remembered said love holding him in his arms. Then a confession that tore at his heart and a sweet memory of making love to his beloved.
Still where was he? Hiei had yet to figure that out.
He sat for what seemed like hours, feeling only a sense of extreme coldness, thinking…thinking…
Then…he stopped thinking.
Who cared where he was? Certainly not his fox.
So, why should he think, why should he even bother with thinking about how to get out?
Hiei curled up against the sudden anguish that tore at his soul.
He was nothing- so in nothing…he would remain.
~Yusuke's set of test's~
Once again, fog came. He was sick of fog; sick of tests that had no meaning other than getting on his nerves.
Sick of everything.
He just wanted to make things right again. Then again, he had come to realize that he liked his time with Hiei. But he would not stand in the way of real love. Not when he had Keiko.
But did he still have Keiko?
With that thought an image came into view. What he saw shocked him to his very core.
Keiko was making love to another guy. When he saw who, hatred was brought up anew. Long red-hair, bright green eyes, long well-toned body- it was that bastard Kurama with his wife!! That slut would pay for this he vowed.
As he neared them, fist ready to hit the kitsune, a small hand reached out and grabbed his arm. He came face to face with chocolate brown eyes.
“Why?” he asked her, pain tearing at his heart.
"Yusuke, after what you and Hiei did, it was our turn. I have to have a divorce though. You see Kurama is a much better man than you are. He is gentle, kind, considerate, and a *much* better lover," she told him before laughing.
He watched as she walked out of his life for good. It hurt him. Laughing green eyes stared at him.
"I win!” Kurama said, wrapping his arms around Keiko, “I get them both and you get nothing! Enjoy watching me with both of your loves!" Now, both of them laughed before walking away into the fog.
How could his friend treat him like that?
How could he take the person that meant everything to him?
After all they been through, why was he being so heartless?
Was this the true Kurama?
He shook his head. Then, with a determined look on his face, went to look for his ex-friend. Yusuke was going to kill that red-haired tramp and take back what was his. Screw this test! He’d save Hiei himself and win back Keiko’s heart.
Kurama then came running towards him, smiling and waving.
Yusuke felt his anger grow. That asshole!! He was going to show him. He watched with a scowl as Kurama stopped not too far away.
Kurama looked slightly worried at his expression, and then, apparently disregarded it, putting on a smile, happy to see Yusuke. Goddamned bastard!
He knew that it was a trick. He punched the fox right in the eye. Then kicked him in the stomach, causing him to fall to his knees. He was about to kick him again when the sound of a sword coming out of a sheath filled the air.
Cold steal flashed under his chin. Fear went through his body. Oh, shit.
He knew just who the owner was without asking. He looked up, wincing slightly as the katana bit into his flesh slightly, and saw bright crimson eyes.
"I should kill you and show no mercy to you for hurting my fox,” the deep voice taunted, “But…seeing as how we were allies, I will give you time to explain yourself.” Hiei withdrew his sword and looked at Yusuke expectantly.
Yusuke explained everything only to see both men laugh at him. Well, Hiei just smirked. Kurama got up and rubbed his sore stomach.
"Yusuke that happened ten years ago," the red-head told him, "Don’t you remember Hiei getting better? How happy the two of us were when we came back to the apartment and Kuwabara and Yukina were there? Hiei was sitting up in bed already healed?” Kurama laughed. “He yelled at us for worring about him. Remember?” He looked slightly worried when Yusuke shook his head.
Yusuke put a hand behind his head. "Um...nope! I sure don't.” They both sweat dropped. He suddenly felt a ping of panic, “Hey, what happened between Keiko and me?"
Both demons looked sad. "Keiko killed herself over what happened. The night before we left for the fountain, you found her in your apartment," Kurama told him, looking down, “she slit her wrist. She died in your arms.”
With that, Yusuke fell to his knees. Keiko killed herself over me? Nooo!! Not Keiko!! Guilt and a broken heart overwhelmed him. He began to cry.
~Ningenkai~
Keiko gave up cleaning. Dust was afraid to settle anywhere in the house. It literally sparkled with how clean it was.
She went and sat next to Botan. She noticed her friend looked on edge. She wondered why. Keiko had done a lot of thinking. She had decided to forgive Yusuke, but let him know that if he ever cheated on her again, they would be through. But she knew that she loved him too much to ever leave him. Like right now, her thoughts were with her husband. She hoped he was okay.
If he wasn’t, she would have to kill him.
Kuwabara took some tea to his love. She had been in with whom he had learned was her brother ever since Kurama and Yusuke had left.
As he walked in, he heard her calling out to the shrimp. Over and over again, saying, “Big brother, please come back to us! We love you and miss you! Please, don’t leave us!” Another dozen gems were added to the pile on the floor.
It really disturbed him that the shrimp seemed to be getting worse as each minute passed. He glanced at his watch. Only a half hour until Hiei succumbed to the poison.
What were Yusuke and Kurama doing? Playing games? They needed to hurry or the fire demon’s fire would be forever lost.
~Kurama's test~
Hiei was staring at him. Looking like the fox had lost his mind. Kurama once again tried to go towards him, only to have his soul mate take out his katana.
"I don't want you near me," Hiei told him, his eyes narrowing.
"Nani?" questioned the fox, confused as to why Hiei was acting as if he was his enemy.
"I don't need your ‘love’ Youko,” Hiei said in an angry voice, “I don't want you to touch me or even look at me again. You disgust me.“
"What have I done to hurt you so?” Kurama asked. What the hell could I have done?
"What have you not done, Youko?” Hiei spat at him, his eyes accusing, “Your mother, your human mother, means more to you than I do. You cheated first. Then got mad when I did the same thing to you.” He turned away, “You tore my heart out, Youko. I loved you, but you betrayed me. If that’s your idea of ‘love,’ then you can just keep it. Sayonara, Youko.” He walked off into the fog.
"Nooooo!! Hiei,” the heartbroken youko cried, running after the smaller demon, “I love you far more than Mother!! Hiei!!!" He had a horrible feeling in his bones and prayed he would find the demon he loved all right.
Soon he came upon that which he sought.
Hiei was kneeling on the ground, blood pouring from his slit wrists. His katana lay on the ground, covered in blood, next to the crumpled fire demon.
Kurama ran to him, catching him as he started to fall to the ground. He turned the demon over to find the demon’s normally bright crimson eyes a dull, rust color.
“Hiei!” Kurama said, tearing off his white scarf and wrapping it around his wrists, “No! Don’t leave me!”
“Fox…” Hiei weakly said, pain in his eyes, “I always loved you, no matter what you did…” His youki was steadily decreasing now. His eyes filled with tears of hurt, “I knew that the Koorimes… were right…”
“No, Hiei!” Kurama cried, clutching him close, “I-“
“No need for regrets…fox…” Hiei softly said, closing his eyes, “I…love…you…”
A single black tear gem fell to the ground.
Hiei had stopped breathing. Kurama gently lowered him to the ground, disbelief filling his eyes.
Kurama shook his head. No, that was not his Hiei lying dead on the ground. Not his forbidden child.
"You are not my lover. He is not so weak to die needlessly," the Youko said in a slightly wavering voice.
"No, Hiei would never kill himself. You are a fraud!” he declared much louder.
A bright light filled his eyes and he suddenly found himself face to face with a crying Yusuke.
~Ningenkai~
Botan, Kuwabara, Keiko, and Yukina were all standing at the failing fire demons bedside.
Time was almost up. Botan watched as the clock ticked away Hiei’s time.
One minute.
Yukina was crying hysterically, begging her precious brother to stay with them. She threw herself onto his chest and cried onto his ever-cooling body. Kuwabara tried to comfort her, but tears were streaming down his face as well.
Keiko was fuming at her husband while crying for her friend. Hiei may have been the one Yusuke was cheating with, but she knew that Yusuke had orchestrated it all. She viewed Hiei as one of her dearest friends and didn’t want to lose him.
The little fire demon was dear to everyone. Botan silently counted down.
Ten. The demon’s breath hitched slightly.
Nine. He shifted and moaned restlessly.
Eight. Hiei shivered.
Seven, six… Yukina sobbed harder.
Five…four… Kuwabara turned away, crying.
Three… Keiko ran out of the room.
Two… Botan sniffed, praying for a miracle.
One. Hiei was dead.
Or so everyone thought. A bright light surrounded him and Yukina jumped back. As it faded, everyone looked anxiously at the demon.
He was still breathing. They had done it! Yusuke and Kurama had saved him!
Hiei was alive.
~Ningenkai~
The spell was broken. Kurama turned to the guardian- she looked pleased.
“Youko Kurama, you have deemed your self worthy. I already know what your wish is. I have seen your very heart. Both of yours, in fact. Your little fire demon will get better. Even as we speak, the poison leaves his body. Now one last thing before you both go- never forget what you saw and did here."
Another light flashed…
~Ningenkai~
And they found themselves two streets from Hiei and the others. Both ran as fast as they could, smiles lighting their faces.
The future for a certain fire demon was looking much better.
The two demons burst through the front door.
Yusuke was then hugged by his wife then slapped for worring her. They looked in each other’s eyes and found the promise for a happy future, they shared a kiss and sealed their promise.
Kurama made his way to Hiei. He had been hoping that by now Hiei would be awake and all better. He pushed open the door to his bedroom. Yukina was staring at his lover looking very confused. He went straight to her, extremely worried at that look.
"What is it?" he asked, paranoid that something else was wrong. He had another bad feeling.
“Well…the posion has left, but he has yet to awake nor has his condition improved. I have no clue why," she told him, tears littering the already marbled ground, “I-I-I’m sorry, Kurama!” She ran into Kuwabara’s arms, sobbing wildly for her brother’s fate.
Kurama, dazed once more, went over and hugged his still cold lover. Tears coursed down his face as he kissed Hiei’s pale face. He was thrown back into that familiar black pool of agony and sadness.
Why, Hiei, why?! Why aren’t you awake!?
His eyes scanned the room. No light could be seen anywhere. He took a deep breath. No scents filled the air.
What happened?
Where was he?
At first, he remembered nothing. Then, it hit him like a ton of bricks.
He remembered his mate finding out about him and Yusuke. He remembered all the harsh words that were said after he saw his love get hurt. Then he remembered said love holding him in his arms. Then a confession that tore at his heart and a sweet memory of making love to his beloved.
