"Good morning Yukina," Kuwabara said as he walked into the living room; surprising he was the second to awake up in the temple. He turned on the hallway light, as he made his way in to the living room. he stretched he had been wearing a baggy pair of pants, and a long t- shirt he had not slept well that night; the decision he had to make was keeping him up at night. And due to his lack of sleep, he decided for once he would wear his glasses not his contacts.

"Good morning, Kazuma," she said in return; as she had just gotten done making the rice cakes. Her voice caught Kuwabara's attention, as he walked into the kitchen. "Are you alright yukina?" he said as he leaned against the counter, attempting to look at her face as she cooked. "I am fine she said as she turned around, and attempted to smile; but this wouldn't fool the great Kuwabara. He could see though her covers, "What is wrong? Is it about the decision?" Yukina blushed, at the mentioning of their conversation last night.

"No…no not that at all," she said as she looked down. "Then what is eating at you my love?" He asked as his eyes stared into hers, she couldn't lie to him; she had natural been a bad liar, but to him it was twice as hard. "The fox got out last night," she said as she looked away. "And he didn't come back," Kuwabara fought to keep the happy tone, out of his voice.

She shook her head, as she looked at the ground. "He attacked Hiei," she said in a quite tone. Kuwabara was speechless, "they both are pretty injured I was able to heal the fox but Hiei ran off." She was quite for a moment, "I'm worried about them. Do you think you could help me find him?" she asked as he nodded. "Anything for you Yukina"

She smiled happily, as she hugged him. "Thank you Kazuma," after a few moments in the embrace letting go, "do you think you could help me find Hiei?" I'm pretty sure he is around this area, "how exactly do you know he attacked Hiei?" Kuwabara now began to ask questions. "Because I woke up in the night, and saw that my window ceil had been cracked; and he was missing I ran out side to see where he went. and I saw him fighting Hiei.

"Why would Hiei want to fight him, there so close?" He said out loud anciently "So the fox belongs to Hiei?" Yukina asked her eyes perking a bit "No.. Uhh" He rubbed his back of his head. "Well you know apparitions, and spirit animals can have close connection." He said "Yes that is true, maybe that's why I feel so close to the fox. He's really sweet you know, and believe it or not, he's not as big of a bed hog as your Eikichi." She smiled

"You let him sleep in the bed with you?" Kuwabara could feel his heart sinking. "Well he didn't want to at first, but now he dose it often; he's nice to cuddle up against. She had been to busy remembering the good times, with her and the fox to see the look of disappointment on his face. She looked so happy, just talking about the spirit fox; and he knew she would be heart broken, when he gathered his strength back. This was something he wasn't looking forward to.

"Could you be any louder Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked, as he rubbed his eyes and walked into the kitchen. "It's 5 in the morning," he grouched as he sat at the table in the main room. "I'm sorry Yusuke," Yukina apologized for her soon to be mate's echoing voice. "It's okay I love getting up at the ass crack of dawn for no reason" he growled

"Be in at the dojo in 15 minutes," Genkai said as she walked out of the hallway and into the living room. "What why?" he complained at the old master, "Because you are out of shape, if you are wakening up any later than 6. And that is no way to talk to a lady, Mazoku or not." "Fine what ever," he said as he laid his head on the table

"That is not a bad idea Genkai," Kuwabara said as he walked away from Yukina to stand beside the master and student. "Are you crazy Kuwabara? You want to go though training with the crazy hag!" he said, as he sat strait up looking at Kuwabara and tilting his head. "I didn't know you wore glasses," he said changing the entire subject.

"Yeah I usually wear contacts, but I cant sleep and it's makes them harder to wear." "Well they look very nice on you Kuwabara," Genkai complemented the taller human. "Why are you so nice to him?" Yusuke whined. "Because he is a polite and bright young man," she said as she sat down.

"Good morning Genkai," Yukina called from the kitchen. "Good morning Yukina, I heard some racket last night; is everything okay?" the elderly woman made herself comfortable on the pillow. "Yes everything is fine master Genkai," she said as she began to prepare breakfast; for the three in the living room

Kurama had woken up, he automatic was aware that Kuwabara was one of the first one up. In his fox form his ears were very sensitive, he had attempted to sleep in longer; but the blabbering loud mouth couldn't keep his mouth shut. He had attempted to stretch, last night had been a blur to him, "how did I get back here," He looked around as he noticed he was in the bed that Yukina had made him.

He had attempted to rise as he felt the searing pain in his side, which quickly brought back the memories that he, had forgotten, he had been in a fight with Hiei; and apparently lost the battle. He looked to his side seeing large band- aids wrapped around his stomach and hip. He also remembered that he hand attacked Hiei as well, he could still smell his blood on his fur, he had hoped that Hiei was alright, that fight that they had last night was different than any they had before, Hiei to upset to realize what was going on or listen to reason and it was apparent that he was attempting to kill the fox.

"Only if he knew the truth," Kurama said as he ignored the pain, and opened the crack door with his snout. He could hear the argument between Genkai and Yusuke; he found it amusing the relationship between those two. And also agreed with her that a little extra training wouldn't hurt the boy. He had completely made it down the hallway, as he heard Kuwabara's voice grow husker this caught the fox's interest.

"Yukina tells me last night, that Kurama and Hiei got into it; and it was pretty bad. Yukina believes that the fox attacked Hiei, because she left the window open, and told me his wounds were pretty bad. She was able to tend to Kurama's wounds, but Hiei disappeared off into the forest. "Well if that wasn't foolish" Yusukue said "he's weak he won't make it out here alone." "But it's not like Hiei to except any one's help." Genkai said, as she watched Yukina walking forward. "So Kuwabara you are being so well behaved, what should we start out with;" She said changing the subject.

Kurama stood still, as he was in the shadows of the hallway; he felt his heart drop Hiei was out there in the forest. What made is stomach turn more, is the fact that Hiei was weaker than he was when he was left in the forest. Though he could relax more, knowing that he and the ice apportion, had killed off most of he wolfs. but was sure there would be more. Or maybe he attempted to get back to Manki," all these thoughts ran though his head, as he quickly made it back to Yukina's room. he got into the bathroom, and gathered what supplies, she had left from tending to his wounds.

He carried them by mouth to a small cloth, he had a few pain relievers and herbs, if he had been in his human form. he would have brought ban aids and other items to help the demon heal faster, he held the cloth with his mouth as he looked towards the window, Yukina had gotten smart, and shut it and locked it on the fox demon. He then used his snout to reopen the door and walked out into the hallway, he walked past Yusukue hitting him lightly with his tail, giving the boy a sign to let him out.

Kurama hid the cloth behind a pair of shoes, as he the began scratching at the door with a cry, "Do you want out boy?" Yusuke was quick to pick up the hint and walked towards the door. "I'll let him out," Yukina said as she began to walk towards the door, the glare that Yusukue got from Kurama made him think twice. " umm he look's like he has to go bad, I'll watch him okay?" he said as he stood to left, blocking the view of Kurama grabbing the bag as he allowed the fox out first then following after him.

"What happened between you and Hiei last night?" Yusuke knelt down beside the white fox, he looked as if he were sniffing the air attempting to get the sent of the fire apportion. He hadn't been paying much attention to the ex spirit detective. "Did he see you sleeping with Yukina or something?" This made the fox glare at the boy, as he growled lowly, "How dare he think so lowly of me" he thought as he then continued to search he began to walk of the stairs now having a faint sent of the fire apportion.

Yusuke began to follow him, when he stopped growling; "What is wrong do you not want me to come or something?" The fox nodded as he began to walk into the forest, Yusuke continued to follow the fox, as he walked into the forest. the fox stopped growling the best he could, with the cloth in his mouth. "You can't fend for yourself," Yusuke said as he stood at the entrance of the woods.

"He did have a point," The fox thought as he sat down. " the most on his mind was to make sure, Hiei was alright; he never planed that Hiei would attack him so brutally that it would take him down to his fox form in three blows. he was lucky that again Yukina was there to save him from being killed. He looked at the half apportion, and shook his head no.

He didn't understand what the fox had meant, just figuring that he was being stubborn. Then he heard the screen door open, and the soft feminine voice of Yukina calling out " Breakfast is ready boy!" She noticed Yusuke who stood at the entrance of the forest "Where I my fox Yusuke?" He looked back at her attempting to keep a strait face. "He wanted to go out into the forest, I guess more privacy; I'm watching him though!" He called with a smile "Alright," Yukina sounded worried. "Just make sure, he doesn't get dirt in his wounds," she said as she walked back into the dojo.

"That was to close," He said as he watched the forest. "I sure hope you know what your doing Kurama," he said as he then sat down by the nearest tree, watching the forest. It had been almost an half an hour and Kurama still didn't have any leads on where the stubborn fire demon was. "Hiei!" he said in his head, knowing that the Small fire apparition could read minds when needed. Still no response, he continued as he looked though the bushes, not even finding a trace of blood.

After an hour of searching the deep forest, Kurama was benign to feel the pain of his wounds they stung and asked as he grew tired. "One more place to look" He said to himself as he walked to the place where they had fought not even hours ago. "the dried sent of his blood was all over the ground, he looked around telling the different between his and Hiei's blood. He then began to follow the path of blood that Hiei left when he was running away from Yukina.

The moment he walked father into the forest, he felt a strange wave of heat he walked over to the area the source had been coming from a dead bush, he was sure that he had found Hiei. He knew that in times when Hiei was in a deep sleep, his body temperature would go up as a sort of defensive to keep predators away, the foxes body ached more as he walked closer to the bushes.

It felt as if he had put a steaming hot spoonful of rice, in his mouth as he grabbed a hold of Hiei's shirt sleeve; and pulled him out of the bush. and as far as he could from the heated area. Kurama used his mouth to rip open Hiei's cloak and shirt, as he looked at the wound; by the way his body looked, he had to have fallen out of a tree, there were burses on his sides and back. He adamantly went to his bag and pulled out a leaf holding it lightly in his mouth.

Lucky that when Hiei slept his jaw was lose, it took a couple tries as Kurama attempted to open the fire apparitions mouth, with out scratching his mouth; he placed the leaf and a couple pain pills in his mouth. As she closed his mouth, he used his snout to help work the items down his throat. He then sat back as he looked Hiei, over picking a few of the twigs and such out of his hair; also making sure he had no head trauma.

After that , he pulled out an anti septet and opened it, and stopping as he hacked; he had gotten some of it in his mouth. and made a funny face as he licked his arm, attempting to get rid of the taste. the careful grabbing the bottle again, and pouring it onto the wound. "What the hell?" Hiei said as he attempted to move away, from the painful anti septet. The fox pressed a paw on his chest, as he kept him still. He finished letting the item work.

Hiei had not remembered much about that night, his main objective was to get away from Yukina, he were to have to much contact with her; it might be possible that she realizes that he was her brother. he had been in a lot of pain, and was still confused on what was going on none of this made any sense, he was in a mild state of shock, when he woke to be on the ground and a stinging sensation feeling his wound. "Stay still" he heard in his head as he looked to see the fox.

Of course Hiei wasn't the one to listen to reason, and started to sit up and pull himself away from the fox; when the paw pressure grew heaver. "If you won't let me kill you, can a least let me save you." He said after waiting a few moments, then allowing the apportion up. Hiei's jagan glew as they talked to each other. "I was attacked that night I came back from Makai, from what Koenma said; that my name has became big back in Manki, everyone is aware that I am still alive; there for the bounty on my head."

Hiei nodded as he listened to the fox, he had scooted his way to lean against the nearest tree, he didn't have enough energy to get up, and kill the fox so he figured he would at least listen to his side of the story; before fully killing the fox off. " the arrow that they shot at me was strong enough to knock me to my weakest form, I am lucky that I did not kill me. I took shelter in one of the bushes hoping that I could get my energy back and at least go for help.

Yukina found me a couple days later, I had attempted to scare her off but it had failed she had felt bad for me and came back later, that night to defend me form the pack of wolfs." Kurama was attempting to get the point to Hiei, as fast as he could, he couldn't sense Hiei's energy, and he didn't know how much time he had to explain himself. "The others are aware of my change, and have been helping me attempt to get back to my true form, sadly enough. The only real way I can get back, is if I feed of the energy of Yukina."

"She is such a great healer, and the only full blooded apportion around this area. it was going well, the night that you came to see what was going on, I had just turned back in to my human form; and showered I was preparing to leave when you tackled me. I can tell you that once I regain my human form that this will all blow over. He had finally stopped talking, as he looked at Hiei the entire time for the answer "Hn, I still don't trust you fox" he said back.

"Yusuke," Yukina said as she was now at his side. "Wake up" she placed her hand on his shoulder and began to shake him. "Huh?" he said in a sleep voice, as he shook his head "Where is the fox?" she asked quickly as she looked around, in almost a panicked manor. "Uhh I fell asleep," was all he was able to say, after that Yukina ran in to the temple grabbing her shoes, and then ran out the door; this catching Kuwabara and Genkai's attention. Shortly after she had left, the walked out of the temple.

"Hey Yukina, there is no need to go into the forest after him he's fine." Yusuke said in almost a pleading voice, as he stood at the forest entrance Yukina had already dissapred into the brush. "What is going on Urameshi?" Kuwabara said as he walked closer to Yusuke. "Kurama wanted to go out into the forest, and check on Hiei I wanted to come along but for some reason; he wanted me to stay. Now Yukina's all worried and going after him."

"Your letting her into the woods by herself!" he exclaimed, as he ran after her " Yukina I Kazuma Kuwabara will protect you, from any harm that will come to you from this forest." "We better go with them," Genkai said as she followed the trail, left by Kuwabara. Yusuke sighed, as he then followed behind the old woman.

"I sure hope he is okay, I don't want him to hurt someone again" She thought to her self as she attempted to follow the tracks hopefully finding her fox soon. "Come here boy" she called out, as she checked the place where they had battled last night; the stench of dried blood filled her nose. If she wouldn't find the fox here, then she could at least hope to find Hiei.

"Here boy" she called louder this brought Hiei and Kurama's eyes to the ice maiden, she hadn't been to far away from where they were, at and Kurama ran towards her; he sat at her feet, and licked her hand. "Oh there you are boy, I was worried about you." She said as she got on her knees, and kissed and petted the foxes head.

The fox quickly got away, as he then looked back towards the woods as if he were direction her some where. "What is it boy?" she asked as she followed him, "Damn it fox" Hiei thought to himself, as he was to weak to get up. "Hiei there you are you alright?" she asked, as she got onto her knees at his side. she looked at the open cloth seeing his wounds

"Oh my look how bad they are, I'm sure your in a lot of pain." And with out his consent she placed her small cold hands; on his wound and he felt his body healing. Her hand glew of blue youki, he sighed as he had expected her help. Only after a few moments, she stopped as she looked up at him. He had felt a lot better, the stinging sensation and the burses he had on his body were gone. "Thanks" He mumbled, as he looked to Yukina she wasn't looking so great. She looked tired all of sudden. "Did she use all of her Youki to heal me?" He asked himself, as she closed her eyes. "Yukina?" He called to the ice apportion. Kurama walked over and nugged her with his nose. She wrapped her arms around the fox, as she barrier her face into his neck, soon after falling asleep.

There you are" Kuwabara said as he had arrived at the seen when Yukina had fallen asleep. "Umm I'm confused," Kuwabara said as he looked at Yukina and Kurama, giving Kurama a dirty glare. "Well it's not anything new," the fire apportions shot at the large human. "Hey shorty that's not, nice at least I'm not stupid enough to run into the forest at night when I'm injured" he said in an angry tone.

"Now that is enough," Genkai said as she walked behind him, Kuwabara was amazed he had been running the entire time; and Genkai was still only a few steps away from him. "I am glad to see you are a live and well Hiei." Genkai nodded to him. And then looked at Yukina who was hugged against the fox sound asleep. "You seem to be in perfect health" she observed, and then was silent for a moment

"She used all her energy healing you," She looked at Hiei "She must have feared that you wouldn't except her help and would run off again. She sat up all night worried about you," She said, as she felt sorry for the ice apparition.

"She's worried about me?" Hiei thought, as he looked at his sleeping twin. Things had been very confusing for the fire apportion. "Mukuro will enjoy hearing this," he thought to himself again. As he then realized that Kuwabara, and been keeping an eye on the fox he could tell that he was jealous of the fox. for what he didn't know, it was probably something stupid, he wouldn't pay much attention to it.

He stood as he looked at the group, Yusuke now arriving. With out another word he disappeared into the forest, "and he doesn't even say thank you" Kuwabara said as he watched the apportion disappear. "Let's get back to the temple" She said as she began to walk back Yuskue following her.

Kuwabara leaned forward. as he attempted to pick up the small ice apportion. When he heard a growl, Kurama had flipped the small ice apportion on to his back. Her arms were wrapped around his neck, and her legs fell at his sides he gathered the small amount of what was left in to the cloth, as he then began to walk. "Fine be a big man and carry her" Kuwabara growled as he walked a head leaving the ice apportion, and spirit fox to walk alone though the forest.
