"Hiei!" Kurama shouted. The tiny fire demon meerly blinked and looked at the kitsune.

"What?" He asked in an ever mono-tone voice.

"Come with me. Koenma has sent for us." Kurama said, turning away. The smaller one jumped down and landed next to the readhead.

"What useless mission has he plans to use us for this time?" Hiei asked.

"I haven't the slightest of idea's." Kurama admitted.

After a short time they arrived at Koenma's office. They stood outside, looking around for Yusuke and Kuwabara, but neither could be found.

"I wonder where they are?" Kurama asked.

"Hn." Hiei grunted as the doors to the office in front of them were opened.

"Hiei! Kurama! Welcome back!" Koemna called.

"What do you want?" Hiei asked.

"Well, Hiei, this actually directly reguards you." Koenma said, standing up on his desk and allowing a long sheet of paper to be unfurled. "This is a list of everything you've been convicted of."

"Hiei...I thought you said your record had been cleared!" Kurama turned to him.

"Well...perhaps not everything..." Hiei looked away.

"The list is...shocking to say the least. In any case, you've got two options." Koenma looked at him.

"And those are?" Hiei looked at him.

"The next hundred or so years in prison." Hiei swallowed, preparing to run. "Or..."

"Or?" Kurmama pressed, holding Hiei's shoulder.

"Or we can test our latest creation on him." Koenma looked at Hiei. "It would only take up about a year of your time if it works as it should. If not it can take up to five years, but still, it's less than 100."

"...What, dare I ask, is this creation?" Hiei asked.

"Oh...nothing out of the ordinary. An orb...that will revert you back to a childs size and mental capabilities, you'll keep your memories, but other things will be lost...including motor skills, speaking capabilities, eating ability, bodily function controll..." Koenma looked at Hiei.

"You want to turn me into a baby for a year?!" Hiei gaped at him, very much unlike his usual self.

"Um...yup." Koenma sweatdropped visibly. "You will go from infant state to toddler state after 6 months, and after that you with steadily grow back to being your normal size, speed, and body type."

"I'd rather go to-" Kurama's hand slapped over his mouth.

"Who will be taking care of him during that year?" Kurama asked.

"Well, we were hoping you would volunteer." Koenma said.

"Mmmm-mmmmm-mmmm." Hiei was practically tantruming.

"If he were to suddenly fall unconsious, could I make the choice for him?" Kurama asked.

"Um...yes." Koenma looked at him warily. Kurama released his grasp on Hiei and waited for the fire demons response.

"...I'll take the jail time." Hiei said with a strong face. He suddenly collapse and Kurama caught him.

"He means the other option." Kurama said.

"...I'm going to pretend you didn't just knock out your friend." Koenma sighed and pulled an orb from his pocket. It began to glow as Koenma mumbled somthing under his breath and Hiei began to shrink in Kurama's arms. After a few seconds he was rduced to the size of a new born child. "You understand that his emotional level will be reset to the level of an infant as well, and so will his sensitivity. You'll have to care for him exactly as you would a baby and expect to be up all night with him."

"I understand." Kurama said. "Do you have clothing for him, or...?"

"Yes, over there, along with diapers and the like." Koenma said.

Kurama went and gathered said items and then left for Yusuke's house. He knocked on the door loudly and the black haired teen answered the door.

"Hmm? Kurama? What's up?"

"Hiei. He got turned into a baby." Kurama held up the infant version of their friend and watched as Yusuke started to laugh.

"He'll be like this for a long time you know." Kurama looked at him seriously. Hiei squirmed a little, showing that he was waking up.

"Bahahahaha!!" Yusuke doubled over. "Look at the little squirt!!"

"He can still understand you. He knows who you are, he remembers everything." Kurama glared at him and Yusuke shut up.

"He doen't know yet..so keep quiet." Kurama looked at him.

"Hey...the third eye is gone." Yusuke pointed to Hiei's forhead.

"It should return at the end of the year..." Kurama said tiredly. He wrapped Hiei up in a warm blankt and lay him down on the couch.

Hiei's eyes slipped open as Kurama sat next to Yusuke. He was confused, was he still dreaming? His head hurt a little bit, and he tried to raise his hand up to his face, but found something was restricting it. He let out an involuntary whine as he continued to struggle, attempting to find the source of his problem. Kurama's head snapped in his direction.

"Ah, so you're awake?" Kurama said, standing up.

"Of course I am you fool!" Hiei gurgled out in annoyance. Wait...that didn't even sound like Japanese to him. Kurama reached down and lifted him up, and that's when he realized what the sneaky little fox had done. He tried to yell at him, to shove him, but he was bound tightly and words refused to form in his mouth.

"Calm down, Hiei, it's ok." Kurama cooed. This angered the fire demon even more and he continued to do anything to allow himself mobility. He screamed in frustration and Kurama realized he'd begun to cry. "Shh...Hiei, no need for tears."

Hiei looked at him. He was crying? Why was he crying? He was angry, not sad! Damn that Koenma! Even his emotions were affected by his size! What was Kurama doing now? Oh god, he wasn't patting his back, was he?! It ws soothing, sure, but god! And Yusuke was watching this! God, he'd have no pride left by the end of this!

"See Hiei, it's not so bad." Kurama said softly as he continued to comfort the dozing demon. Why was he so tired all of a sudden? He didn't care. Whatever.

His eyes slid shut and he nuzzled against Kurama unconciously as he fell into a light sleep.

"I'm going to have my hands full for a while..." Kurama sighed heavily.

"No kidding." Yusuke shook his head. "What was he crying about?"

"He was frustrated and surprised, and his emotional controll is the same as that of an infant right now." Kurama shook his head. "He's going to be fussy like that for a while."

"Good luck..." Yusuke said.

"Thanks...I'll need it." Kurama said, picking up the black diaper bag he'd placed on the floor and slinging it over his shoulder. "I'll see you later."

He left, carrying the tiny demon in his arms. He loked down at his best friend and felt the urge to kiss him.

'No, what are you thinking?! He's your best friend, not your baby.' He thought to himself.

"So what? Babies are naturally designed to e cute, and you obviously like cute things, so just kiss him!" He argued back.

"No, and that's the end of it." He thought stubbornly as he walked into his own home.

"Mother, I'm home." He called into the empty house. He looked down and saw a note on the table. His mother had gone on vacation with his step-father. He smiled. They would be gone for a while.

He went into his room and saw a crib set up in a usually empty corner of his room. He placed his sleeping friend into it and cllapsed onto his bed. This next year was going to be a hard one, considering his love for the tiny boy. He was madly in love with the boy, actually. He sighed and went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. When he ruturned Hiei was awake and laying silently in his crib with a red face.

"I guess they were wrong about babies only eating, sleeping, and pooping, eh?" Kurama smiled. Hiei whined against his pride and Kurama picked him up. "Um...I guess not...you stink."

He lay Hiei down on his bed and removed the blanket from the child. Hiei turned redder and redder as Kurama removed layers of clother and then, finally, the diaper on his bottom. He was determined not to cry as he had earlier, but damn, with his pride being washed away like this, it was so damn hard! Kurama was placing a new diaper on him when he finally let out a tiny squeak of discomfort. Kurama looked down at him with pity in his eyes. He lifted his friend up after rebuttoning the PJ's Hiei wore and sat down, with Hiei resting in his lap.

"You know I did it for your own good. I'd hate to see you rot in jail for 100 years...I'd rather see you as a helpless infant for a year." Kurama looked into his best friends eyes. "I'm really sorry, Hiei."

Hiei's face remained expressionless. Kurama lifted him up and brought him back over to the crib. He lay him down and went to bed.

I know. I'm terrible. I'm writing a YuYu Hakusho FF when I should be finishing my Harry Potter one, or the Naruto one. I'm waiting to be slapped.
