Summary: Mukuro's thoughts as Hiei sleeps.

Mukuro watched her young lover sleep, flat on his stomach while his left arm was flung out to the side, dangling over the edge of the huge canopied bed. She lifted his arm and slid into the bed with him, letting her fingers ghost over his bared skin. She traced the faint scar that encircled his arm midway between wrist and elbow, remembering the day he sacrificed his arm to win a battle he did not intend to survive.

"No, Hiei, it wasn't your time yet," she whispered.

She felt Hiei's arm tighten around her, before she, too, drifted off to slumber.
