OMG, I can�t believe it has taken me three months to update this story. I�ve never had a story take me so long to write. I just looked and I started this over a year ago. The longest I think a story has ever taken me is six months.
I don�t even have a good excuse. I don�t know how it happened, but it did. I know it�s stupid, and I feel like an idiot for letting it happen, but I actually got addicted to Farm Ville. I know� it�s lame, and retarded but I managed to get hooked anyway. Well, I�m just about over that and I think I�ve worked passed my writer�s block, so hopefully I can wrap this up soon.
This chapter is pathetically short considering how long it took to write, but at least it�s finally written. The next chapter will probably be the end. I hope I can make it a good one for you. Thank you all for hanging in there with me. I really love all the great reviews you�ve sent.
Thank God nothing bad has happened in my life. In fact for a change there is only good news. My daughter finally dumped the �Boyfriend from Hell� and has what seems to be a wonderful man in her life now. He�s in the Navy and unfortunately was shot last month while on deployment in Afghanistan. Luckily, he�s alright though. For now, he�s home on leave and my Foxie seems happy. My Hi-Baby is finally applying himself in college and might actually get good grades this semester. My wonderful husband got the sports car of his dreams (a 2010 370Z). At least he thinks it�s his, I secretly love driving it too. Shhh, don�t tell anyone, in case it jinxes it, but life is good right now.

Chapter 15

With Kurama in a playful mood and Hiei indulging him, it was not a fast trip to Alaric. It was late afternoon by the time they reached Kurama�s den. Just as Hiei predicted, there was a sun warmed spring a few hundred yards away. Knowing Kurama�s territory would be heavily guarded by his plants, Hiei didn�t hesitate to strip naked. �Well Kurama, do you like water as much as a fox as you do as a human and Youko?�
Yipping happily, Kurama splashed into the spring. Hiding his grin, Hiei followed. After bathing and playing in the water for over an hour, Kurama crawled out and flopped on a sun drenched rock. Joining him, Hiei scoffed. �Damn Fox! I was beginning to think it was impossible to wear you out.�
Realizing how Kurama would interpret his innocent comment, Hiei hopped off the rock and sprawled out in the grass with a grunt. �Hn. Shut up you stupid fox. I�m tired and want a nap.�
With a vulpine grin, Kurama closed his eyes and allowed sleep to claim him.

As they approached the gates of Alaric the next day, Kurama hesitated. Seeing this, Hiei grunted. �Hn. You coming Fox?�
Merrily, the silver fox danced to his side. Hiding a smirk, Hiei was surprised to see one of his guards hesitantly step before them. He was obviously nervous at having to address his commander. �My apologies Lord Hiei, but Lady Mukuro doesn�t allow animals in the castle.�
The guard gulped when both ruby and golden eyes glared at him. �If you value your life Lieutenant, I�d suggest you refrain from calling Lord Kurama an animal again! Now step aside!�
�Yes Sir!� Jumping to do as ordered, the guard returned to his post without another word. The guard trembled at the low growl he got as the fox passed by. Every guard and staff member they passed on the way to Hiei�s office gave them a nervous look, but none were brave enough to speak.
Entering the office, Hiei watched as Kurama wander around his office a moment before hopping on the sofa and making himself comfortable. Shaking his head, Hiei barked out orders for food and the duty officer to give him an update. As Hiei worked, Kurama napped.
Some time later, a loud commotion in the main hall signaled Mukuro�s return. Even when she called for Hiei�s presence, neither he nor Kurama moved. A few minutes later she stormed into Hiei�s office. �Damn it Hiei! You are my heir, and should come when I call you!�
Hiei just grunted. �Hn! What do you want woman?�
Ignoring his insolence, she sat across from his desk. �Where the hell have you been? You�ve been neglecting your duties again. Don�t tell me� you�ve been with that Youko again. When are you going to get over��
Hiei�s growl cut her off. �Shut up woman! I�m here aren�t I? As for my work, most of it�s done. Now get out of my office!�
Use to his attitude, Mukuro sighed. �Make time to get over to the western province tomorrow. There�s a cat demon bent on making a reputation for herself as a thief. Take care of it.�
Rising to leave, Mukuro spotted the fox sitting on the sofa. �You have a pet now? Really Hiei, you know I don�t allow animals in the castle, let alone on the furniture.�
Tossing his pen down on the desk, Hiei rose. �Fine, we�ll leave. You can go to the western region and take care of that pesky feline yourself.�
With a chuckle, she waved him off. �No need to get in a huff Hiei. Now, I�m meeting with Yomi to go over the plans for the new aqueduct going in along his border. Join us if you have time. Bring Kurama, I�m sure Yomi would love to see his old friend again.�
When Hiei growled, Mukuro chuckled as she left, wondering if Kurama was aware that her heir was jealous of the Youko�s former partner in crime. Unknowingly allowing his jealousy to show, Hiei sneered at Kurama. �Don�t get your hopes up Fox. I have better things to do than watch you flirt with that old goat.�
Kurama was only able to give Hiei an indignant sniff before there was a knock on the door. When Hiei called out, a maid came in with a cart of food. Snapping at her to leave it and go, Hiei went to the cart. Without a word, Hiei fixed Kurama a plate. After practically tossing it on the sofa by the fox, Hiei fixed his own plate before returning to his desk.
Curiously, Kurama watched Hiei pick at his food. When the fox yipped to get his attention, Hiei glared at him and yelled. �Why the hell won�t you just talk to me Fox? What do you want from me? You follow me around like a lost puppy and I don�t even have a clue why!�
In frustration, Hiei shoved his plate away and stood up. �I�m going to check on my troops, then I�m going after that damn cat demon. A good dirty cat fight is just what I need right now. You can do whatever the hell you want.�
Kurama flinched when Hiei banged the door back against the wall as he stormed out the door. Knowing he was the cause of Hiei�s frustration, the fox ignored his food, hopped down from the sofa and left the office. After glancing in the direction Hiei had gone, Kurama turned away and slipped past the guards and disappeared.

Making his way toward the western region of Mukuro�s territory, Hiei didn�t even realize he was traveling unusually slow until he caught himself looking for Kurama. Angry with himself for missing the fox�s presence, Hiei flitted away.
Arriving at his destination, Hiei headed to the to the most likely place get information� the local pub. Taking a stool at the bar, Hiei ordered a drink. He wasn�t surprised when it only took minutes for him to overhear three demons talking about the recent robberies. What did surprise him was hearing those same demons talk about the silver Youko that had been there earlier asking questions about the robberies and the demon committing them.
Shifting his katana into view at his hip, and resting a hand on it�s hilt, Hiei moved to a table where the three demons sat. In a flat, yet authoritative tone, Hiei demanded. �Tell me where the Youko went.�
On Hiei�s left a blue haired demon looked up at him and sneered. �You�re not very bright boy. That pretty boy Youko�s not the one everyone�s looking for.�
With a lopsided grin, the blue haired demon turned and nudged the demon beside him. �Personally, I wouldn�t mind shifting my attention from that damn feline to that sexy Youko for just one night though.�
The demon never eve got the chance to turn his attention back to Hiei before his head left his shoulders. Turning his bloody katana toward the other two demons, Hiei repeated his question through clenched teeth. �Tell me where the Youko went!�
Not wanting to risk the same fate as his unfortunate companion, the demon on Hiei�s right quickly answered. �He went after that cat burglar. She�s been seen heading north of town a few times. That�s all we know.�
Ignoring the mess he�d made, Hiei left the bar and headed north. He hadn�t even reached the edge of town when he sensed Kurama�s energy and knew he was fighting. Running faster, Hiei found the fox and a yellow haired cat in a clearing. At first Hiei thought they were engaged in battle, then he realized Kurama was darting back and forth as he and his plants toyed with the cat.
Watching the cat hiss and try to claw at the fox dancing around her, Hiei scoffed. �Damn it Kurama! Why the hell do you insist on playing with your prey? Just finish her already.�
Briefly taking his golden eyes off the cat, Kurama inclined his head to Hiei then turned away. Raising an eyebrow, Hiei realized Kurama had just been keeping the cat busy and was now turning her over to him. �What the hell Kurama? I wanted a fight, not a prisoner.�
With the two powerful demons distracted, the feline saw an opportunity to escape. Bearing her claws, she raked them across one of Kurama�s hind legs, hoping he would be unable to pursue her as she tried to scamper away. Kurama�s yelp of pain was still ringing through the trees as Hiei cut her down.
Torn between anger and concern, Hiei knelt next to the fox, just as he began licking his wound. �Damn it Kurama! Why the hell did you turn your back on her? If you had just killed her, you wouldn�t have gotten hurt!�
When silver fox ears flattened against his head, and Kurama�s big golden eyes looked up at him, Hiei seemed to get even more angry. �Why the hell won�t you talk to me? For years I couldn�t get you to shut up, now you won�t say a damn word! You talked to Shiori! You talked to Yusuke! The damn Youko even talked strangers at the pub! WHY NOT ME? What the hell do you want from me Fox? �Cause I sure as hell don�t need a damn pet following me around all the time! Get it in that suborn head of your! I DON�T NEED YOU!�
Flinching at Hiei�s harsh words, Kurama lowered his head. For the first time in months, Hiei heard Kurama�s soft voice fill his head. �I�m sorry Hiei. I thought this was the only way you�d allow me to be near you. I know you don�t love me any more, and I know now that you�ll never forgive me. Even though you don�t want me by your side, I will always be nearby watching over you and protecting you. I love you Hiei.�
There was no mistaking the despair in Kurama�s voice. Before Hiei could respond, the fox rose and limped toward the forest. For a whole minute, Hiei wrestled with his options. Just as he was about to call out, a blast of energy shot from the trees, hitting the unprotected fox dead on. Hiei�s sword was drawn before Kurama�s limp body hit the ground.
With a growl, Hiei attacked. Like the other demon, this too was a cat demon, though this male was considerably more powerful than the female. As they fought, the demon hissed. �You killed my partner, and I�ve killed yours! Now I�m going to kill you!�
Unbeknownst to the cat demon, he had just attacked one of the most powerful demons in Makai. With rage and fear for Kurama fueling his fight, it took Hiei less than a minute to kill him. Uncharacteristically dropping his sword, Hiei ran to Kurama�s side. The fire demon�s hand trembled and his voice shook as he reached out to stroke the fox�s head. �Kurama?�
When Kurama didn�t respond, Hiei feared the worst. Angry with himself for his cruel final words to his long time friend and lover, Hiei gathered the fox in his arms. Using his scarf, Hiei tried to stem the flow of blood from the wound on the fox�s chest. As he did so Hiei could feel the faint beat of Kurama�s heart getting weaker.
Hiei�s voice was barely a whisper as he pleaded with the fox. �Kurama, don�t do this to me. Don�t leave me like this. I didn�t mean it. I do need you and want you so much. Please Kurama, please come back to me. I love you too.�
In his mind, the faint whisper he got in response was not reassuring. �It�s alright Hiei. This is where I want to be, right here in your arms. Don�t worry my love, even though I won�t be with you, I will always watch over you. I love you Hiei.�
