After a few months Kurama and Hiei left Genkai's and moved into a small home on the border of Makai. The home was conveniently right next to a bored to the Human world.

A Few Years Later Kurama worked at a small flower shop in the human world while Hiei worked for Mukuro. Hiei became head of border control and soon, after humans started to take interest in the demon world, became head of the tour guard. Yes, that is correct. Hiei baby-sat human tour groups. It was on one of these tours that fate sent love off course.

Hiei rolled his eyes as he listened to the tour guide drone on to the human "explorers" He and a few of his men walked behind the group, keeping an eye out for any stupid low class demons. Hiei smirked as he listened to his men.

"Stupid wench doesn't even know what she is talking about." #1 said. (#1, #2, #3 man 1, man 2, man 3)

"I don't get why we have to watch them. If they wanna know what its really like they need to be all alone, fighting off hungry low class." #2 said.

"Or at least have a demon guide." #3 said.

"If they were alone, or had a demon for a guide, they would end up dead, and we would end up in jail." Hiei said, rolling his eyes. The men shrugged and nodded.

"Excuse me? Um, could you keep it down, your interrupting me." The tour guide asked nervously. Hiei was about to say something smart mouthed when a laugh interrupted him. Ever one turned to see who it was that was laughing. Sitting atop a large rock was a man with long silver hair. Two fox ears twitched atop his head and a tail swished behind him as he stood.

"I didn't know you were on tour duty today, Hiei." The man said, walking up to Hiei.

"Hn, you never asked, Baka Kitsune." Hiei said, a small smirk barely visible.

"True, true." The man said.

"Excuse me, who are you?" the tour guide asked.

"Oh, of course, how rude of me. My name is Youko Kurama." Youko said with a small bow.

"Shouldn't you be somewhere right now, fox? Instead of just wandering the Makai." Hiei said.

"The shop is closed for today. The owner wasn't feeling well and said I could go home. And Yomi wanted to see me for some reason." Youko said. Hiei's eyes narrowed. "Relax, I can take care of myself. I am a full grown Kitsune after all."

"Yeah, and that's what worries me." Hiei said, rolling his eyes.

"Now Hiei, have some faith, I've been good, haven't I? And nothing that baka Yomi says is going to change that. Or nothing he does for that matter, you know I hate the guys guts...and if that assassin had done his job properly all he would be is guts." Youko said muttering the last part. (I HATE YOMI!) Youko pulled out a black rose and handed it to Hiei. He gave the small demon a quick kiss before turning into his fox for and running off. Hiei smirked and shook his head. He turned and walked off.

"Hiei Sir! Where are you going?" #1 called after him.

"Home." Was all he said as he disappeared into the surrounding forest.

Hiei opened the door and stepped inside, placing the rose in a vase that sat next to the door. Four other roses, all black, sat there waiting for the new companion. It has already been fives years. Time sure flies. He thought as he grabbed the vase and walked to the kitchen. He added some water and set it on the table. Sitting down he started at the roses, remembering the day Kurama showed him the first one.

I made these roses for us, Hiei. They shall forever stay the same, neither withering nor dieing, unless one of us strays, or dies. Every year we can add another, counting off the years. Forever we shall stay, Hiei, and Forever shall they bloom

Hiei fingered one of the smooth petals. He smiled a little at the memory. If he was ever concerned about his fox, be it he feared the fox was hurt or had strayed, all he had to do was watch the roses and remember the past years, and his mind was at ease. Unknown to him Kurama did the same thing.

He got up and started snooping around the kitchen, looking to see what he had to work with. He planned on making Kurama a large, wonderful dinner. Sure, it was a vary un-Hiei like thing to do, but it had almost become tradition. On normal days Kurama cooked, but, on Kurama's birthday and their anniversary Hiei would make a surprise dinner. Even though Kurama had come to expect it now Hiei always made something different, and he never told Kurama what he was making or how the place would look, so every year Kurama was still surprised.

Standing up after emptying out the bottom cupboards Hiei noted he would have to remind Kurama he needed to go shopping. He looked at all the stuff he had to work with. This should work. Hiei thought.

Within a few hours Hiei had made a number of dishes, including Kurama's favorite food in the world, Inari sushi. He set everything up, washed his hands, placed the vase on the table and lit a few candles. He walked out of the dining room and, opening the door, leaned on the doorframe just as Kurama entered the clearing. Kurama walked up to the smirking fire demon.

"Oh Hiei, get off work early?" Kurama asked. Of course he knew Hiei had come home early to fix dinner, but this was another little tradition. Until Kurama stepped into the dining room and say the dinner both demons pretended like it was a normal day.

Hiei shrugged. "I got bored." He said.

"I see, well, I'll just go make dinner now." Kurama said as he entered the house. He turned to enter the dining room and stopped dead in his tracks. His eyes widened and his hands flew to cover his mouth. "Oh Hiei…" he managed to whisper out. Now, not only had Hiei out done himself with the amazing amount of food and beautiful display, but he had also, by hand, carved a 3'6" statue. It depicted a Black dragon swirling out of a cloud. On the dragon's head sat a Silver Kitsune. In place of eyes sat tear gems. Also, scattered in the cloud, was tear gems.

"I take it you like it?" Hiei whispered in Kurama's ear. Kurama could only nod. Hiei led Kurama to the table. "Sit down fox, you look about ready to faint." Hiei chuckled a little. Kurama sat and Hiei went around to the other side. He sat as well and both ate in a happy silence. After they finished Hiei toke the dished and whatever was left and put it in the kitchen. When Hiei return he found Kurama in fox form asleep on the chair. He chuckled, pick Kurama up, and toke him to their room.

The next morning Hiei woke, as usual, before Kurama. He got up, dressed, and toke the statue out into the rose garden. Now, your probably wondering what Kurama got Hiei. Remember the rose? Every year that is all Hiei gets, but that's all he wants. The rose is a promise of Kurama's love. Kurama has tried to give Hiei other gifts, but Hiei has said Kurama's love is all he wants.

He walked back inside and was met with the smell of breakfast. He smirked and entered the dining room. Kurama had made a small quick breakfast.

"I'm sorry Hiei, I have to get to work early today. I'll see you later tonight, ok?" Kurama apologized.

"Alright fox. See ya later." Hiei said. Kurama gave Hiei a quick kiss before running off. Hiei sighed and sat down, eating the breakfast Kurama had made him. He then grabbed the roses and placed them at their proper spot by the door. Then he went back in, grabbed his plate, went into the kitchen…and…dare I say it…did the dishes. For the rest of the day he did basically nothing. He trained, ate lunch, toke a nap, trained some more. Around the time Kurama usually comes home there was a knock at the door.

Odd Hiei thought no one but Kurama, me, Yusuke and them know of this place…and they know to just come in…unless the door is locked…and its not…Hiei got up from where he sat and opened the door. An unfamiliar Kitsune stood there. "Hn, who are you, what do you want?" Hiei asked, glaring.

"My name is not important. I am looking for Kurama." He said. This caused Hiei to become more suspicious.

"Kurama is not here." The Kitsune opened his mouth, but Hiei interrupted him. "I don't know when he will be back." Hiei said, glaring harder at the Kitsune. He turned, about to go back inside when he was grabbed, spun around, and kissed, hard. He grabbed the arms that held him and was about to shove the Kitsune away when he spotted Kurama, wide eyed, at the edge of the clearing. He pulled away quickly, for the Kitsune had let go, and shouted Kurama's name.
