"Hiei, wake up." I heard Yusuke say. I opened my eyes and saw Yusuke standing in front of me. I had fallen asleep in the waiting room.
"Kurama wants to see you."
I got up and forced myself not to run down the hallway to his room.
I swallowed, took a breath and opened the door.
"Yusuke said you wanted to see me?" I walked halfway over to him and stopped. He still looked distant, but more like himself than the night before.
"Yes."
He even sounded a little more like himself.
"I want you to know that I don't blame you even though your actions are what caused this."
He just kept looking out the window.
"Kurama, please look at me."
He turned and gave me a pained look before returning his gaze out the window.
My chest filled with pain and he started talking again.
"It may not look it, but I really don't blame you."
"You say that and you say that you mean it, but is it really true? If anything you should hate me beyond anything. If Yusuke hadn't shown up you'd have been killed and there wouldn't have been anything I could have done to stop it."
He was silent a moment before saying, "Yes I know."
"Then why don't you hate me?" It was unfathomable…something beyond belief. "With as much pain as I put you through…"
"Because it wasn't you who did it physically. Therefore I couldn't hate you. As you said, you were a demon who didn't care about the possible consequences of your actions. Therefore you could have never foreseen something like this happening."
He looked at me, his smile conflicting with the pain his eyes still held. "Everything will be ok Hiei. I promise."
"I'll leave you to rest now. The sooner you get better the sooner we can leave here." I told him. "I'll be right out in the waiting room if you need me." I smiled and walked out of the room.
He promised everything would be alright, and Kurama didn't go back on his promises.
As I walked back over to Yusuke and sat down he looked at me.
"So how did it go?" he asked.
"Pretty well. He said he doesn't hate me."
"You see! I told you he was strong."
I nodded and stayed silent. We sat there neither of us saying a word to each other for some time. Then something else he had said came back to me.
"What you said to me right after you knocked Yoriko out…it sounded like you were flirting or something. Was that it or was I just imagining it?"
Yusuke thought about if for a moment and then gave me his normal goofy grin. "Yeah I guess I was."
The smile left his face and he continued. "I just couldn't stand seeing you like that. Tears really don't suit you."
He stood up before saying, "I care about you Hiei. Just as much as Kurama does."
I stared at him stunned as he walked away.

It took a few days but eventually Kurama was allowed to go home.
"How are you feeling?" I asked as he got changed so we could leave.
"Fine." He said and smiled at me.
Over the last few days Kurama had returned to his old self but he still seemed a little distant. We hadn't had any kind of physical contact since that night, not even holding hands. He hadn't said anything about it and I didn't want to push. I was the reason of his pain and although he was strong I knew it would still be too soon. I didn't know how long it was going to take for him to really recover, but I was prepared to wait however long it would take.
It still hurt Kurama to walk a little so I was helping him get home. He kept his arm on my shoulder for support the whole way home…and I was happy for the contact and the closeness.
We got home and I helped him to the bedroom.
The doctor said he was bruised pretty badly so it would still hurt for a while.
"Kurama…" He looked at me and smiled, though it was still a little sad. "I…just…I wanted to know if you needed anything?"
It wasn't really what I wanted to say, but I didn't want him to get mad at me. Although I don't know why he would…or why I hesitated. I normally wouldn't have thought twice about it…
"No there's nothing at the moment." His smile actually looked happy now. I smiled back and started to walk out of the room.
"Oh and Kurama…" I decided to tell him anyway, even though I hesitated before. "I don't know how long it'll take you to recover but I want you to know that I'll be waiting for you no matter how long."

I sat outside of the room all night listening to him sleep. Kurama hadn't said anything about shutting the door so it was still open. I spent that night in a mixture of confusion and bliss.
Bliss because I knew Kurama really was going to be okay.
And confusion because of Yusuke.
He said that he guessed he was flirting with me. He said he cared about me as much as Kurama does…How was I supposed to react to that? I mean I loved Kurama more than anything else, but…it felt like there was something tugging me in another direction. It felt like there was something trying to move Kurama away from me.
Why else would Yusuke have "confessed" while the one I loved was injured and in a hospital bed. Why else would Yoriko have shown up when he did and done that to Kurama.
Sure there was always the mundane explanation of complete coincidence. That Yoriko had just finally caught up with me after long enough and that Yusuke happened to be going by when he heard, and recognized, one of Kurama's screams.
But I am a demon and mundane things don't work well with me.
Some energy was pulling us apart…but I wasn't going to let it happen. I would fight with every bone in my body against whatever force it was so I could keep Kurama. I had been alone long enough.
