[But even if Hiei exercised restraint, Kurama knew that fire was nothing to play around with. If he wasn't careful, if he made one foolish misstep, those black flames could do worse than wound him.
A puncture through his chest was a trifle thing, but the scalding hot touch of the flames of darkness? Even if it wasn't the bite of the Black Dragon itself, it was nothing to shrug at and, more importantly, nothing he could shrug off.

Whether or not the smaller demon treasured the weapon, it was hardy enough to withstand flames even his own fortified plants could not. It made the perfect addition to his own arsenal, and still trapped in the grip of his rose whip, it provided him with more reach, and considerably more bite.
With a sharp movement of his wrist, the whip cracked and the thorny length along with the sword lashed out for Hiei's legs.]
