Here's the second helping, Bunny Muffin. *snickers*

Twelve Days

On the first day Kurama catches a rabbit.

He does not cook it and neither does Hiei. They could because hey, they have their very own campfire with them in the form of a pale and silent perhaps-fire-demon. Or perhaps not, he’s not sure and doesn’t particularly care. Anyway, they don’t bother with roasting or brewing, and in all honesty it’s pretty near that they don’t gut it either. They do, because Kurama insists on the account of still having his human body. After three decades of Youko’s influence it can handle raw meat but draws the line at intestines.


On the second day Hiei accidentally pushes Kurama into a pond.

Well, at least he claims it’s an accident and it certainly looks like one. The ground is bumpy and anyone could stumble a little and shove his careless companion. It’s just bad luck that Kurama happens to stand next to a deceivingly small puddle. It is small but unfortunately quite deep, too. There is no way Hiei could have known it, Jagan or not. He doesn’t use it for such mundane things as teasing others. Kurama splashes water on him and can’t decide whether to be angry or laugh.
