It was dark, so dark in the makai.  A black-clad figure stared unseeingly into the darkness.  He turned just as a movement behind the bushes caught his ruby eyes.  The fire demon's whole visage glowed as he saw the tall graceful figure of his redheaded best friend coming out and walking toward his direction.

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's amazing how you speak right to my heart

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two gazed at each other silently.

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Without saying a word, you light up the dark

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fire demon swallowed, hard.  He felt a wave of confusion enveloping his mind.

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Try as I may, I can never explain

What I hear when you don't say a thing

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurama smiled at his friend softly and settled next to the fire youkai.  They were so close.  Hiei looked down, watching his own trembling hands raised to cup the kitsune's lovely face.  There was another intense silence.   The air around them practically crackled with energy.  Their faces inched nearer and nearer and then they kissed.

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

And the touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

It had been a week since he last saw the fox.  Now, he and the others were being summoned by Koenma for another mission.  The fire demon tried to empty his thoughts and glanced at the bickering Yusuke and Kuwabara.  It was then that Kurama came in.  Hiei's nucleus stopped beating then did a somersault.  The beating started to drum loud and louder in his ears, drowning out the sounds of Yusuke and Kuwabara's boisterous wisecracks.

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All day long I can hear people talking out loud

But when you hold me, you drown out the crowd

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurama stepped beside the fire demon very closely.  An elegant hand secretly touched the fire demon's right hand.  The fire youkai grinned momentarily, then sighed.  He was lost in his own thoughts.  Kurama was smiling absently, failing to register the fact that Koenma was addressing the BOTH of them.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Try as they may they could never define

What's been said between your heart and mine

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Koenma, Yusuke, and Kuwabara sweatdropped at the two daydreaming demons, wondering what was wrong with them

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Hiei waited for the redhead at their rendezvous in the makai.  The fire demon jumped to his feet as Kurama entered the cave with that tender, gorgeous smile of his.

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

 

The two gazed at each other hungrily.  The flickering fire played dancing shadows on their naked bodies.

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurama's elegant hands reached out to the fire youkai's small ones.  Their hands held in a strong, but tender unyielding grip.  Their lips touched in a deep, passionate kiss.  The dying embers crackled for the last time and the cave was once again silent save for the occasional moans and gasping sounds coming from the two demons.
