Sorry this took so long but I decided to rewrite the whole end of the chapter. When I went back and read it I realized I�d kind of rushed Kurama and Hiei�s part of the story without resolving Yusuke and Koenma�s issues. As a result this came out kind of short. I�m still going to use what I wrote, I just cut it out for now and will paste it back in a little later.

Chapter 12

Walking up the steps to Kurama�s apartment, Hiei grumbled. �I don�t care what you say, I hate riding in that contraption.�
Unlocking the door, Kurama chuckled. �I know Koi, thank you for indulging me. You being with me today was the best graduation gift you could have given me.�
Holding the door for him, Kurama kissed Hiei�s cheek as he passed. Blushing, Hiei grabbed Kurama�s hand and pulled him inside. Pushing the door shut behind him, Kurama allowed Hiei to draw him into a loving kiss. When they parted, Kurama smiled down at his lover. �What do you want to do tonight Koi? Do you want to go out, or would you rather stay here?�
Shy ruby eyes gazed back at Kurama. �Let�s stay here. I�ve waited all day to have you to myself.�
Hiei�s sweet confession pulled at Kurama�s heart. In a playful mood, the redhead swept his lover up in his arms. Surprised, Hiei gave a token struggle as Kurama carried him to the sofa. Hiei ceased his struggles when Kurama sat on the sofa and settled the fire demon in his lap. Content, Hiei snuggled against Kurama�s chest. �You didn�t have to tell your mom about me Fox, but I�m glad you did.�
Holding Hiei close, Kurama kissed his temple. �I�m glad I did too Dragon. It�s nice not to have to hide my feelings for you from her anymore.�
Remembering his conversation with Yoko, Hiei decided to test the waters. �Now it should be easier for you to tell her that you�re a demon.�
Beside him, Hiei could feel Kurama shake his head. �I have no intention of ever telling her that I�m a demon Hiei.�
Hiei lifted his head to meet Kurama�s eyes. �Are you sure that�s wise Fox? Wouldn�t it be better for her to know the truth in case you and Yoko do end up merging into one being?�
Looking away, Kurama became very still. �If that happens Hiei, then the man she knows as her son won�t exist any more. It would be better if she just thinks that I died.�
The stern tone of Hiei�s voice told Kurama his lover didn�t like his answer. �Yoko isn�t able to take control unless you allow it, or are too weak to prevent it. That doesn�t mean he doesn�t exist, and it doesn�t mean that we act like he�s dead. Why should it be any different if Yoko were in control instead of you?�
So softly that if Hiei weren�t as close as he were, Kurama whispered his fears. �What if when Yoko takes control, I�m trapped inside him and can no longer take this form? Or worse, what if I really do cease to exist? My mother might be able to accept that I�m gay, but I won�t ask her to accept that her son is really a demon. Not just any demon either Hiei, but a cold blooded thief who would probably rob her before breaking her heart.�
Knowing that Kurama�s words were probably cutting Yoko to the core, Hiei sighed. �That�s not fair Kurama. Yoko�s not that demon anymore and you know it. Whether you admit it or not, you are both better men for having been part of each other all these years.�
Green eyes widened at Hiei�s defense of the Youko. �I never expected you to defend him Hiei. I thought you hated Youkos.�
Hiei shrugged. �As a species, I don�t have much use for them. Yoko is part of you though Kurama. He�s my friend, just as you are. You should try talking to him instead of fighting him. You might just see how much he cares about you, and the people you love.�
Shaking his head, Kurama chuckled. �Yoko doesn�t care for anyone except himself Hiei. I�m not even sure he�s capable of caring. He lost that ability when Kuronue died.�
Pausing, Kurama frowned. �Hiei, why are you suddenly defending Yoko? What�s going on?�
Unable to meet Kurama�s almost accusing gaze, Hiei shrugged. �We�ve� talked� and he�s worried about you Kurama. He says your reiki is becoming weaker but your youki is becoming stronger. I don�t understand why you�re fighting this if it�s making you a stronger demon. I would have thought you�d be happy to finally become a demon again.�
Angry, Kurama glared at Hiei. �Don�t you understand Hiei? If Yoko takes charge, or I lose my humanity and become a full demon again, I�ll have to leave the Ningenkai. I�ll have to leave my mother and all the people that I love and return to Makai.�
Big ruby eyes gazed back at Kurama sadly. �What about me Kurama? I thought you loved me. Yoko said you were fighting this because of me, but that�s not it at all. The only thing you care about is not leaving your precious human mother.�
Confused, Kurama frowned. �I do love you Hiei. What difference does it make who I�m fighting this for?�
Hiei�s heart ached as the realization of what he was about to say sunk in. �You want to stay human to remain here with the people you love, only I won�t be here. I�m a demon Kurama. After Yukina�s baby is born, I�ll be returning home to Makai. Apparently I�ll be going home alone.�
Speechless, Kurama couldn�t move as Hiei crawled off of his lap. When he realized Hiei was headed to the bedroom, Kurama jumped up and rushed after him. �Hiei, wait!�
In the bedroom, Hiei was putting on his old cloak and securing his katana. Kurama was about to shout at him not to go, but suddenly stopped. One look at his lover�s sad face and Kurama knew he wouldn�t stop him. �I guess you�ve made your choice then. As much as it hurts me to say this, I want you to be happy Hiei, even if it means I lose you to your other lover.�
Not waiting for Hiei to respond, Kurama turned and left the bedroom. He managed to make it to the living room before he felt Hiei�s energy leave the apartment. The moment it did Kurama�s knees buckled and he collapsed onto the sofa. With his heart breaking, the last thing the redhead wanted was to hear the Youko in his head. �Damn it Little Kit, what the hell are you doing? Go after him! Hiei loves you, he doesn�t deserve this!�

Kurama didn�t move. �He deserves to be happy Yoko. I only hope his old lover can make him happy, since apparently I can�t.�

If he had a real voice, Yoko would be shouting at him. �I can�t believe you�re this stupid! Don�t you get it? If you let Hiei go he�ll be alone!�

Still not understanding, Kurama shook his head sadly. �No, he�ll go to his lover Yoko. You know, the one he couldn�t give up, even for me. I�m sure Hiei loves him. I know he said the bastard was incapable of love, but even you have to admit, Hiei�s very lovable.�

Frustrated, Yoko sighed. �I�m not the heartless demon you and Hiei seem to think I am Kit. As a matter of fact, I�m very capable of love. I can name three people I love very much, perhaps even more than I loved Kuronue. You� Shiori� and Hiei.�

There was dead silence in Kurama�s head as he absorbed the meaning of Yoko�s words. �What did you mean that if I let him go he�ll be alone? Where the hell is Hiei�s lover?�

After a brief pause, Yoko finally answered. �His lovers are here Shuuichi. Do you honestly think I would allow anyone else to lay a hand on our sweet little Dragon?�

Kurama�s jaw clenched as realization dawned. �What did you do to him you son of a bitch? If you hurt Hiei, so help me��

The amusement in Yoko�s voice was obvious as he cut the human off. �That�s not a nice thing to call our mother Shuuichi. As for Hiei, I didn�t do anything that he didn�t allow. Admittedly, when I first seduced him, he did think I was you, but he enjoyed it none the less.�

Rising from the sofa, Kurama started pacing. �What the hell did you think you were going to gain by seducing Hiei? If you were trying to hurt me��

The voice in Kurama�s head was sharp as Yoko snapped at him. �NO! Damn it Shuuichi, I think all that red hair has effected your brain. Except for that incident when you were five years old and Shiori got hurt because of my influence, name me one time that I ever did anything to hurt you or anyone you love.�

When his pause was met with silence, Yoko continued more calmly. �You can�t, can you? I swear to you Little Kit, I would never do anything to hurt you, or Hiei. I know you don�t think I�m capable of it, but I really do love you.�

Not really appeased, Kurama growled. �Then why would you do it Fox? Why would you intentionally seduce the man you know I love? Why would you make him fall in love with you?�

Though he couldn�t see it, Kurama felt the Youko smirk. �Besides the fact that our Dragon is the sexiest demon alive you mean? I know you won�t believe this, but hear me out Kit. I did it for us. For you, me and Hiei. You and I are a part of each other, whether things stay the same between us or if we somehow merge. I wanted Hiei to love us both, not just you.�

Already understanding Yoko�s thinking, Kurama sat in a chair to listen. �I know you�ve been worried about leaving Hiei alone if something happens to you. If he has us both Kit, then Hiei will never be left alone, no matter what happens with us.�

Not fully convinced, Kurama frowned. �You forget Yoko, I know the demon you became after Kuronue�s death. How do I know I can trust you not to use Hiei and then throw him away like all your other lovers?�

With a chuckle, Yoko couldn�t deny the redhead�s words. �Yes Kit, you do know me. You also know the demon I was when Kuro was alive. You know that I�m capable of loving someone so much that life without them isn�t even worth living. Through you, Shiori and now Hiei, I�ve learned that life is worth living again.�

Though Kurama wanted to believe him, he still hesitated. �If what you say is true, then why didn�t you tell me? For that matter, why didn�t Hiei tell me?�

Yoko laughed. �You had gotten it in that stubborn red head of yours that I was trying to take control, and turned me into enemy number one. As for Hiei, seducing him was easy. Making him realize he could love us both was a little more difficult. He knew that finding out about us would upset you, so he�s the one that demanded our affair remain a secret. I just used his insecurities to blackmail him into continuing the affair.�

Yoko could feel Kurama bristle at the word �blackmail� and quickly continued. �Now Kit, I may have blackmailed him into having the affair, but I swear everything we did was consensual. It worked too. He loves us both, just as much as we love him.�

Still feeling the redhead�s reluctance to accept him at his word, Yoko sighed sadly. �You used to trust me Shuuichi. I think you even used to love me a little. I wish I knew what I did that caused me to lose your trust.�

Hearing the pain his resistance was causing the Youko, Kurama felt a little guilty. �When I was younger, I hero worshiped you, you old fox. As I got older though, I realized just how ruthless a demon you really were. As the years passed, and my demon energy became stronger, I became more and more like you. I don�t want to be like you Yoko. I don�t want to be so selfish and heartless that I am incapable of love. The only way I could think to prevent that from happening was to fight you and push you away. Now, it seems inevitable that you will prevail, and I don�t know what to do to protect the people I love.�

Finally understanding his counterpart�s true fear, Yoko had an idea. �Shuuichi, when you were younger, and I was training you, we used to come together in our mind where our consciousnesses could touch. We could each feel everything the other felt. Do that with me now Little Kit. If you feel what I feel then maybe you will trust me again.�

Expectantly, Yoko waited as Kurama considered his request. After a moment Kurama shook his head. �No, I won�t give you the chance to manipulate me the way you manipulated Hiei.�

At the mention of Hiei�s name, Kurama was suddenly filled with remorse. �Oh gods, what have I done? If you�re Hiei�s lover, then he�s out there alone. I have to go find him.�

Rising from the sofa, Kurama hadn�t gone two steps before he was suddenly unable to move. In his head, Yoko growled in annoyance. �You�re not going anywhere Shuuichi! You just accused me of hurting Hiei, when the one that hurt him is you, not me. I�m not letting you anywhere near him right now.�

Struggling to move, Kurama ended up falling to his knees as his attempt failed. �What the hell are you doing to me you stupid Youko?�

Yoko�s voice was deadly calm when he replied. �Hn! I�m showing you who�s really in charge here you foolish Kit. You�ve been fighting a battle you actually lost years ago. By the time you gained the ability to take my form at will, I had become strong enough to take control away from you. I loved you though, and knowing how much this life meant to you, I allowed you to keep your human life. I wanted you to be happy, and I wasn�t ready to leave Shiori or our friends behind yet. It wasn�t hurting me to let you play human for a few decades, so I let you think you still had control.�

Realizing he couldn�t move until Yoko allowed him to, Kurama ceased trying. �I don�t give a damn about you and me right now! It�s Hiei I�m worried about.�

Feeling the Youko�s energy rise, Kurama shuddered at the immense power Yoko emitted. A moment later it was a silver Youko that rose from the floor with the human now trapped inside. �Damn it Yoko, what the hell do you think you�re doing?�

The Youko laughed as he made his way to the bedroom and slipped out the window. �Right now Hiei�s out there thinking he�s lost both of his lovers. I�m going to find him and make sure he knows that at least one of us still loves him. Since I don�t think he�d leave his sister right now, he�s probably at the temple.�

Careful to stay out of sight, Yoko headed for the temple. As he did he could feel the human trying to regain control. �Give it up Kit. You�re staying right there until I figure out how to get through to you. Instead of hiding in there like you usually do, you might want to consider watching the way Hiei and I are together.�

Frustrated, Kurama growled. �I don�t hide Fox! I�m usually resting when I give you control. Maybe if you didn�t block me all the time I might have known what was going on.�

Yoko had quickly reached the edge of town and was now running at full demon speed. Like his human counterpart, he was very worried about Hiei. �Believe me Kit, I won�t be blocking you. I want you to see Hiei and I together. I want you to accept that he is our Dragon, not yours.�

Not wanting to fight any more, Yoko was grateful when Kurama remained silent after that. With the speed of a demon, Yoko was racing up the temple steps less than an hour later. Not bothering to hide his youki, Yoko used it to call out to his lover. Reaching the top of the steps, Yoko slowed as he entered the courtyard.
Approaching the temple, Yoko sighed in relief when Hiei stepped out on the porch. Seeing the uncertainty in Hiei�s sad ruby eyes, Yoko gave him a little smile and held out his arms. Without hesitation, Hiei vaulted off the porch and into the Youko�s waiting arms. With Yoko holding him tight, Hiei wrapped his arms and legs around the taller demon.
Closing his eyes briefly, Yoko could easily hear Kurama�s whisper sadly. �I�m sorry Dragon.�

Opening his eyes, Yoko saw Yukina and Kuwabara watching them from the doorway. Yukina�s accusing glare told him the little Koorime wasn�t happy. Not wanting to face them, Yoko turned towards the forest. With Hiei still clinging tightly too him, Yoko walked away into the night.
