Epilogue: Tears of Life

Kurama had never slept so well in his life. Needless to say, he was reluctant to wake up at all. But when he did, the first thing he saw was a pair of brilliant red eyes. His first thought was that it was Hiei, but this pair of eyes was framed by sea green hair....

"Yukina!" he gasped.

"Shh! Hiei-kun JUST fell asleep. Don't you dare wake him," Yukina snapped softly.

Kurama glanced over at the chair by his bedside. Sure enough, Hiei was curled tightly on the cushion, sound asleep.

"What happened while I was asleep?"

"Well, Hiei's been worried sick. He helped Snape-san finish the potion and hasn't left the room since then.

"The potion worked perfectly. As you can see, I'm here. Harry-kun is downstairs with his parents. They are truly marvolous people. Very kind. Mrs. Potter has been making sure you stay fed while you're ill. It's great to see the three of them. They're already planning to rescue Sirius Black, Harry's godfather. They came across Lestrange's wand during a recent raid, and I've already offered to help. They're such kind people. They've invited us to stay the rest of the summer with them!

"And that's not all. Dumbledore has offered us all invitations to attend Hogwarts next year. Because of our spirit power, we'll be able to start in the same year as Harry, as transfers. Yusuke told him that we'd think about it.

"Oh... and Kazuma asked me out. I'm going to a movie tonight, so I'd better be leaving. Feel better, Kurama-kun!"

She paused at the door, "Do me a favor, though."

"Yes?"

"DON'T tell Hiei where I'm going." And then she left.

Kurama could hear the Order downstairs- Mrs. Weasley was telling off the twins for misbehaving; The Potters laughing at a joke Lupin told; Kazuma and Yukina leaving....

But, that could wait. He could see them any time. He carefully stood and picked Hiei up. Hiei woke up long enough to see Kurama's face and smile, before falling asleep again. Kurama lay Hiei down before sliding back into bed himself.

The Order could wait. Now, he was getting some much needed rest....
