Hiei is used to that vaguely amused look on Kurama's face - it's the only reason he isn't bristling about how amused the Youko seems by everything he has to say. Of course, the Youko knows him enough by now to know that Hiei is fussing because he is worried, at the very least about him. The fire demon is debatable about Yusuke and Kuwabara as of yet, though very little in the way of effort would make the decision for him on whether the teens were worth saving or not, in the end.

"I will not allow him to choose for me." Hiei growls in irritation, clearly annoyed that the redhead seems to think that he would even kowtow to such a ruling. At least not without a fight of their own to determine that, yes, Hiei would be the one to take on multiple fights one after the other.

If anything he'd simply hop into the ring before there could be 'discussion' and leave it at that.

"It's bad enough being here because of that overgrown infant - now you want me to listen to Urameshi?"
