I’m
writing 3 stories at the same time, so it will be less often that I update this
one, but I’ll try as hard as I can ok?
Hiei woke up so early in the morning, the birds
weren’t even out yet. It was dark
outside, but a shimmer of light glowed on the horizon, the first sign that it
will be morning soon. Slipping into a brown suit, Hiei took all his possessions
with him, although with one exception, the horrible yellow dress.
stared at it. Shaking himself to rid
the feeling of repulsion, he gradually opened the door and stepped
outside.
It was dangerous, what he was going to do, but it
was part of the mission, and Hiei never fails a mission.
with the wooden steps, Hiei was almost relieved that no one was up this early,
or else he’s have to kill him, or her.
Hiei winched as a step gave a loud squeak. He looked around him to see if anyone else heard it.
Hiei made his way up to the top floor with no
obstacles. Now the only thing he had to worry about was how to get inside the
lab because it was certain that such a place would be locked and even heaviguarguarded. Taking out the pick, Hiei
walked up to the door. He smiled as the
lock gave a surrendering click.
This is too easy, he thought.
an important place unguarded. His guard up, Hiei slowly opened the door a
little, peeking through the crack to see what was on the other side. Strangely,
no one was there. Careful not to make any sudden noise, he squeezed inside the
small gap, not wanting to open the door all the way, afraid that it would alert
someone. Hiei hesitated to move any further,
feeling that this was a trap, although he didn’t sense any spirit energy from
inside the labs.
A sudden cry of surprise and then a pul gul groan
warned Hiei that there was indeed someone inside. Flattening himself against the wall, he stepped silently to the
edge of the other room. It was still
dark, but Hiei’s eyes let him know that there was another presence in the other
room. He hoped that the other person
was not aware of himself.
Hiei’s eyes squinted in confusion as he saw someone,
dressed in a guard’s uniform, was lying unconscious on the floor.
partner, therefore, did not know that he had been knocked out.
he wasn’t informed about, or was someone else trying to steal the drug as
well? Hmm, at least Hiei knew where
that cry of pain came from, but why didn’t the other guard hear it?
Hiei almost gasped as he stepped on something quite
solid. He looked down.
the only thing to distinguish him was his guard uniform.
on around here. And the guard that was
standing was beginning to creep Hiei out.
Since from the moment Hiei walked the the guard never even moved an
inch. The way that guard is standing,
like a broken doll, his weight distribution all wrong, as if… as if he was…
Hiei quickly moved to where the guard was, now more
than ever, sure that everyone here was dead besides himself.

thrown, stabbing all the way to the wall.
Two blades kept the demon latched on, making him seem like he was still
standing.

place was indeed heavily guarded. About
a dozen more bodies were littered across the floor like rag dolls, mutilated
and disfigured. Whoever did this is
cruel and revels in pain and suffering. Hiei wondered if the drug is still
here.
Gradually going further inside the lab, and trying
very hard not to step on the bodies, Hiei looked around himself.

led to the horrors of the experiments, those howling creatures, crying in agony
and pain. No, he did not want to open
that door. The other door will lead to
a trap, protected by a powerful magic, an illusion that one would forever be
lost in. One of those doors will be the
real lab. Now which one is it?

Hiei knewhad had to remember the last time he was
here, but that was so long ago. Closing
his eyes, he concentrated. There was
something about these doors that gives it away, what was it?
eyes, they’re energy is different. But
which energy matches what? Hiei grinded
his teeth in pure frustration. He
should know this. The answer was just
beyond his reach, slipping away just as he grasps it.
Hiei opened his eyes abruptly as the answer came to
him. Why hasn’t he remembered
before? It was so damn si.

behind the door was the most dangerous, and the most perilous energy must be
the correct one. Hiei reached for the
handle, biting his lips in anticipation.
Will something fly out at him, or will he walk in there thinking it was
the safest place and never be able to come out again?
Screw it.
Hiei turned the handle, and relief flooded through him.
drugs. Well, Hiei thought to himself,
I’ll just take everything, leave it to Koenma to figure this out.
since it was still early and Hiei moved so fast that no one could really see
him anyways.
Kuwabara grinned widely. He wasn’t a bad person, not really. Plus, he wasn’t really going
to kill the stable master, just freak him out a little, so when the stable
master was begging and pleading for him to stop hurting him, Kuwabara felt kind
of sorry for the guy. But of course,
that didn’t stop Kuwabara from putting in another few extra kicks and
hits.
“Please, stop.
I’ll do anything! I’m too young to die.” The pathetic creature was curled into a ball, bruises already
forming on his arms and legs.
“Fine, but remember, you got all those bruises
because you got drunk and started a fight in a bar got it?

frightened demon one last kick and started off on the way home.

“Finally! You two are back.”
team.
“Where’s Kurama and our brave leader?” Hiei
questioned, sounding fatigued.
“, wh, where are they? Shouldn’t they be here to meet us?” Kuwabara said.
Koenma looked uneasy. “Well, I…they…I haven’t
reached them. Their communicators are
working, but they just aren’t picking up.
I haven’t seen Yusuke since two days ago, and Kurama since last night,
when he sounded so worried about Yusuke.”
“I got a bad feeling about this.
something?” Hiei looked unconcern, but inside, he was worried.
“I did. Oh,
god… maybe something happened to them, and they’re trapped or worst!”
“Have you tried looking for them at their
house?” Hiei stated the obvious thing
to do.
Koenma’s eyes ligp. “p. “Oh!
Hiei put his hand on his head and sighed.
everyday. “Any other brilliant plans?”
“Hmm…” Koenma seemed to be in deep thought. “No, not
at the moment. Hiei, you go check out Kurama’s house and Kuwabara can go to
Yusuke’s place. Report back to me once
you’ve found them.”
*Kurama’s House*
Kurama placed an arm around sleesleeping boy’s
shoulders. He sighed in satisfaction
and leaned into his pillows. He didn’t
know when the feeling had settled on him, but he knows now that he loves this
boy with all his heart, and cannot live without his sleeping beauty.
calmness and wholeness to him that he has never felt before.
Oh, when did you become so soft Kurama?
he’s still a human bopan pan style="mso-spacerun: yes"> You two

right when I’m with him! You should
really tell him the truth. No, not
yet. Kurama argued with himself.
unconditionally, but the demon inside him was beginning to surface.
A small moan from Yusuke broke Kurama away from his
thoughts. Brushing a strand of hair
away from Yusuke’s face, Kurama bend down to give him a quick kiss on the
lips.
Heavy lashes stirred, and eyebrows wrinkled in
confusion. Slowly, the eyelids opened
to reveal drowsy chocolate colored eyes.
“Kurama?” Yusuke was puzzled for
a moment, not remembering where he was, and why he wasn’t in his own bed.
Kurama smilovilovingly. “How do you feel,
precious?”
“I’m fine, but-” Yusuke’s eyes widen in remembrance
as his mind played over last night’s events.
He blushed as he realized he was very much naked underneath the blanket,
and with an equally naked Kurama with him.
“Did we really…?”
Kurama was scared.
Does he regret it? He was a little drunk. Kurama gave Yusuke a small nod, afraid to say anything more.
Yusuke blushed even more, and hastily wrapped his
arms around him. Kurama gasped in
surprise. “I love you, you know that right Kurama?” Yusuke kissed his neck.
“Don’t tell me you were afraid that I was going to reject you.” A tiny
glint of mischief shone in Yusuke’s eyes.
“N-no. Never.” Kurama crushed the boy to him.
After a few minutes of simply hugging the redhead,
Yusuke struggled to get out of the bed.
“Kurama, I need to take a shower.
I feel all icky and sweaty, and I bet you do too.”
bathroom. He winked to Kurama, “Wanna
join me?”
Kurama smiled teasingly, “Are you sure you trust me
in there with you?”
Yusuke put his hand to his chin, seeming to
think. “On second thought, you better
not. We’ll never finish the shower that way,” and he walked into the bathroom,
leaving Kurama all by himself. Of
course, that didn’t stop Kurama from following his love inside.
“Gotcha!” Kurama stalked into the bathroom and
caught Yusuke off guard.
“Well, we’ll just have to be careful then don’t
we?” Kurama began nuzzling Yusuke’s
neck, and his fingers dance upon his skin.
“Kurama,” Yusuke warned, “This is what I was talking
about.”
Kurama stopped poutpouted. Lifting his head as if to hear better, he released his hold on
Yusuke. Listening. “Hey is that our
communicators beeping?”
“Who cares? If anything important happens, Botan
will come tell us.” Yusuke didn’t seem
to be concerned about it.
mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>“Well, we better hurry and get ready then.”
“Why?”
“Because, how would you like it if Botan suddenly
walked in on us like this?” Kurama took
the soap. “Here, I’ll wash you and you can wash me.”
“Okay. That
I have no problem with.” Yusuke relaxed
as Kurama massaged him with the soap.
Half an hour later, they were out of the shower and
ready to go.
