Chapter 10: Road to a Cure

*1 year later*

"Hey, Red!" yelled Hiei below the window of his best friend's house. "Come on, it's time to go!"

"Coming, Hiei," yelled back Kurama and kissed his mother goodbye. Walking out the door he smiled happily at his boyfriend. "Hey, love. Did you miss me?"

"Every minute. It's time for your appointment and we have to check that apartment today."

"Sure."

It was a year since Hiei and Kurama got together and they were starting college. They decided to get our apartment near the campus together. Kurama has been taking therapy to get better and he is, thanks his Friends, especially Hiei. His beloved has been by his side the entire time, making sure he didn't do anymore stupid things. They kept their relationship a secret to everyone except Yukina, who already knew. Kurama was afraid people would hate him and for Kurama's sake Hiei didn't say a word.

Entering the building Kurama walked into a room while Hiei waited outside.

"Hello, Doctor Smith," he said sitting down. Behind the desk was a woman with blue green eyes and brown hair in a ponytail. She wore a kind expression to her patient in front of her. She was an American who came to Japan for the different scenery and fell in love with it. She became a councilor to help people with their problems.

"I told you, Minamino-san, call me Kate," she said. "How are we today?"

"I'm fine. I'm going to look at an apartment with my roommate today after this."

"Then I won't keep you long. You may continue."

Kurama told Kate about what happened since he had last seen her. Kate listened with a very open ear and was full of comments and praises. Kate was very proud of his improvement and declared him that he didn't need any more therapy.

"I can leave? I'm cured?"

"Oh, no one is completely cured. Some get to the point where they get over the addiction, some don't. Either way no one is completely cured."

"Thank you, Kate-san." And he stood to bow at her.

"Just Kate, Kurama, and you can see me anytime you're troubled."

"Thank you."

He walked out the room and toward Hiei, who stood to greet him.

"How'd it go?" he asked.

"Fine, I don't need to see her anymore."

"You're cured?"

"Not completely but I don't need to see her anymore. She said no one is completely cured."

"I'm glad, Red."

"Me too. Come on, we got an apartment to look at."

Hiei smiled and walked into the car, sliding in the passenger seat while Kurama took the driver's seat. They drove to a small apartment building and went to the landlord.

"We're here to look at the apartment," said Kurama.

"Of course," said the landlord. "I'm Hiroshima. I own the place."

"Kind of figured that," muttered Hiei and Kurama jabbed his ribs with his elbow.

"Yes," said Kurama. "We would like to see it."

"This way," said Hiroshima and he lead them to the apartment room. It was small with two bedrooms, one bathroom, living room and a kitchenette. But they liked it and paid one months rent.

"We'll move in tomorrow," said Kurama in the park.

"Sure, Yukina said she would like to take the old place unless she moves in with Keiko."

"That's great. And she won't be far."

"No she won't."

"Hey love, do you remember what day it is?"

"Christmas?"

Kurama chuckled. "No."

"Your birthday?"

"No!"

"Then what?"

Kurama smiled and drew Hiei close to give him a passionate kiss. Hiei returned it and held the redhead as close as he could.

"Happy Anniversary, beloved," said Kurama touching the dragon necklace around his neck. Hiei smiled and clasped the fox necklace Kurama gave him.

"I love you, Red."

"I love you too, Hiei."

And they kissed again.
