Edit: Originally, chapter one and chapter two were too short. So, I combined the two to make chapter one longer.
AN/ Um, excuse me... is this thing on...? (taps microphone)HELLO? HEL--(microphone makes it's annoying noise) Oww! Okay, guess it's on heh...(clears throat) Ladies and gentel men, I give you my first ever Hiei/Mukuro fic. Don't ask what sparked this, cuz you don't wanna know! Sooo... Does anyone even read H/M fics? I guess that doesn't matter. Here it is anyway. Please review when you're done... it really helps...
Parings: Hiei/Mukuro, Touya/Yukina
Warnings: Foul language, perverted-ness, umm...OOC... I'm terrible at keeping characters, especially Hiei, "in character" so bare with me.
OK: Keep in mind somewhere that this fic takes place about 200 years after the YYH series ends. So, sadly Kazuma and Keiko (and all the other full blood humans) will not be making an apperance. No offense to the Kuwabara and other human fans. I like them too. But their death plays a role in Touya and Yukina's relationship. K?
Disclaimer: Does anyone really read the disclaimers? Why bother since they are convienetly labeled 'Disclaimer'... anyway, yeah. I don't own YYH
CHAPTER ONE
"Alright, Hiei. See you tomorrow." Mukuro said from her chair behind her desk. Hiei didn't respond verbaly. He merely waved and left her room, not that it really mattered. She was facing the other direction. She knew what he did, concidering it was a classic. It's Hiei, right? Everyone knows his signature moves, that being a very common one around here.
Leaving his companion behind, Hiei went strait to his room after his duties. Shuting the door behind him, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief that signified the end of the days working hours. Today had gone particularly slow, the cause being that he was so brutaly forced to work with her lordship the whole day. 'How much longer do I have to bare this torture?' he thought to himself, diving belly down on to his bed. He had fallen for the scarred beauty. He sighed again at the days anxiety and slowly let his mind begin to slip into it's much needed slumber. Then, he heard the familiar click of his bedroom door.
"Hiei, umm, are you still awake...?" he heard the wisper of his co-worker as of late. "Yeah, what do you want." he answered in monotone. "Well, I uhh, need to talk to you for a few moments. Would that be okay, or is this a bad time...?" Hiei turned on his bedside lamp with the annoying sound of the "click" echoing the silent room. "Touya, any time is a bad time in my current situation. But unfortunatly, I am still forced to socialize. So yeah. Now's as good a time as any. What do you need?" he said as he looked up at the skeptick blunette.
Touya sat down in one of the few chairs Hiei had in his room. "Well, it's about Yukina..." Hiei shot bolt upright in his bed. "What! What's wrong!" He asked frantically. Touya waved his hands defensivly in front of him. "Oh! No, nothings wrong! Calm down, she's fine!" he replyed. He sighed his own sigh of relief when he seen Hiei relax his tension and somewhat slump back into his bed. "Ok. Then what is it." he said a little more calmly.
Touya looked at his feet as he searched for words to explain his behavior. "Umm,..." he began. A brief moment of silence. Hiei waited patiently before he became annoyed with the erie sound of a grandfather clock that was perched in the corner of his room. He wasn't sure as to why he owned such an annoying waste of space. He nearly pounced on it untill Touya did the honors of incasing the whole damn thing in thick ice. "I can't see why you own something like that. Doesn't it keep you up at night?" Hiei smirked in approval at the whole 'ice' thing. "Yeah, it does. I don't know how it got here... It was just here when I came in last night and I was just too tired to dispose of it. I hoped it was only my cruel imagination, but it was still here when I came in a while ago. Anyway, about Yukina?"
"Well, umm, I was just wondering,... what would you think if I...uhh, courted her? Not that I'm wanting to or anything! I umm... was just wondering... You see, I had this dream..." he clumsily answered. Hiei rolled his eyes and sighed again. "You mean to tell me that you're keeping me up past midnight just to tell me something I already know?" Hiei asked more politly then it sounded. "Well, I uhh...wait...you already know?" "DUH! Touya, it's so obvious! Everyone knows...not including our favorite little koorime... but that's okay. Everyone also knows that she is completely blind to the hints of...dare I say it...Love...You have to tell her strait forward. She won't figure it out by herself. As to what I think about it...I don't care. Do what you want. But I'm only gonna say this once. If you do decide to go for it and later on decide she isn't good enough and you hurt my little sis, if you don't take care of her...I will personally rip open your abdomen with my own hands and make you hold your organs as I shove them down your throat. Then after that, I'll rip out your spinal cord and use it to floss your teeth. After that...---" "OK OK OK! I get the picture! I wouldn't do that to her, and you know that. I'll take better care of her then I take of myself. Ok?" Hiei shook his head in approval. "Good, thanks Hiei. I'm glad we had this discussion..." Touya said, excusing himself from his scary future brother-in-law's protective glare.
"See you tomorrow... I guess..." Touya said as he left the room. "After that... you should be dead but if you're not, I'll kill you..." Hiei finished his speach with a whisper.
Outside of his door, Touya snickered at Hiei's screech of discomfort as the grandfather clock recovered from Touya's earlier delay. The screech was quickly fallowed by what sounded like a miniture explosion...He couldn't help but fully laugh at Hiei's struggle with the antique. "I KNOW YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!" Hiei yelled as he emerged from the two large doors that led to his room, with what looked like soot on his nose and cheeks that also decorated his clothing. Touya high-tailed it as Hiei tried to find his way out of the thick smoke that barreled out of his room. Touya laughed at a distance after seeing that for some reason, Hiei had his pillow in his hand.
The fire alarm went off as it was supposed to and the sprinklers came on automatically. Hiei's hair dampened and weighed down past his eyes. He just stood there for a minute as the artificial rain soaked him where he stood. He couldn't see it, but he knew that the people that were now around him were panicked about the surprize and frantically searching for the door. Mukuro came to him and slowly moved his bangs away from his eyes to see his soot covered face and his angry glare that was currently directed at the owner of the hand that dared to touch him in this moment of outrage. "Hiei... what-" "Don't ask." he said and slowly walked back into his room.
She shook her head and did the same. What was she going to do with that boy? A moment later, her voice came over the intercom. "Attention please, this has been a false alarm. I repeat, this is a false alarm. However it has told me that you need to have some drills so you know where the closest door is incase an emergency like this really does happen. You can all thank Sir Hiei tomorrow for the wet beds and such. For now though return to your rooms. I say again, this is a false alarm."
Hiei growled as he finished flipping his matress over (after the sprinklers stopped of coarse) and putting on some dry sheets and blankets. Why did he have to love the one woman that was surperior to him in rank? She could so easily do whatever she pleased to humiliate him and he couldn't do a thing about it. Yet, he still feels attracted to her. He sighed again in defeat. 'Why do I even bother. She doesn't think of you the same way. Hell, she hardly notices you outside of your talents.' he depressingly thought as he headed for the bathroom to take a last minute shower before he went to bed, after all. He was covered in soot.
((A/N: This is where chapter two originally came in.))
Mukuro couldn't sleep that well that night. One, her bed was wet which reminded her how cold she was. Two, she couldn't keep her mind off of Hiei. Combine the two, that was enough to give her a yerning to go an curl up with him in his bed. 'He probably heat dried it in like two seconds...' she thought. Ahh, the advantages of being a fire demon. It must be really easy to keep warm...Damn Hiei and his warmth!
She rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling. In attempt of distracting her mind from her obsession she thought of Kurama. Yes, Kurama; but not in the same way she thought of Hiei. She had comfronted him many months back. Why you ask? First to talk of her thrills about his best friend. She has just been too afraid of being rejected after confessing to Hiei, and needed to vent. Kurama was the first and only person she told, him swearing to keep it a secret...by his life, I may add.
He couldn't really give her any handy advise, for Hiei is too secretive to let out his attractions. He has never wanted to talk to even Kurama about anything like that. The only time Kurama has heard anything about that kinda thing is when Yusuke teased it out of him. Mostly just about the phisical part of the relationships though. Hiei's answer was that he had never needed sexual behavior nor ever will. Then Yusuke proceeded to tease Hiei for being a virgin. Yusuke woke up about four hours later with a large bump on his head and a more then splitting head ache. He, nor anyone else, ever bothered Hiei about sexual behavior ever again. Kurama figures Hiei must be too shy to confess anything about that. Not that he really wondered about Hiei's attractions...
Anycase, Mukuro now can no longer stand it. She wants to be by his side sooo badly. She doesn't want to call him her heir anymore. He was her god. She didn't want to call him 'Sir Hiei' or 'Hiei Sir' anymore. She wanted to call him her king, to hear other's refer to him as Lord Hiei. She told all of this to Kurama as if he were her shrink. He kind of was, only without pay. She later decied to make some moves because Kurama has developed a very successful memory erasing potion. If she screwed up, or if Hiei dissapproved, she could simply give him some of this miracle potion and he would forget all about the incident. If he would remember anything, it would only be snippits, and he would think it were a dream. Thus, Mukuro and Kurama have moved to the next step in their plan. Mukuro wants to regain her beauty, or atleast reflect it. All those scars didn't give her the most attractive visage. Also, she wished to develop a way she could re-grow her limbs fully, so they would be real.
So on they went. Kurama had indeed developed the perfect way to regrow real limbs. He did this by closely studying starfish and lizzards...oddly enough...So, now Mukuro has an appointment with 'Dr. Kurama' tomorrow. She had already been taking medication for about a week now that will rebuild living cells for her scars. Her eyelid has began to re-grow and the mechanics have been taken off of her face completely. Her hair is also growing at a liked pase, so litteraly she is becoming more beautiful by the minute.
In actuallity, that is why she had asked Hiei to work with her all day, so she could begin her emotional advances. It just didn't work out, because she was too shy everytime she got close. She sighed in annoyance. Couldn't Hiei just take it from here? Couldn't he make the advances? Maybe when she has regained her beauty, he will come to his senses. (yeah right...he has trouble as it is...) Upon realization of this, her hope restored and her mind rested. She soon fell asleep. She had a big day, tomorrow.
\\\Fastforward one week/
Hiei was standing by a window in Mukuro's office as she freely spoke to him. She made it a point not to look directly at him. She could look all around him, above his hair, to his left or right, just not AT him. She was too affraid she would loose self control and possibly do something she might regret, tempting as it is...Damn, how was she supposed to tell him that she loved him if she couldn't get past the lust...She could only hope he would feel the same way when she was restored, which thankfully wasn't too far away. She had about two weeks left of therapy. (I don't know what else to call it...) Her eye was completely healed, it even had eyelashes! Her leg and arm were almost done rejuvinating, and her scars had lightened greatly. After her limbs healed completely,(two weeks)she would be complete. Her scars have about one week and they will be gone. She took note that Hiei has seemed to notice her change in apperance. Now if only he would compliment...
Now on Hiei's side. He had made it a point not to look directly at her. He could look all around her, above her chair, to her left...oh, you get the point. Oh, yeah. He deffinintly noticed her change. She's acutally getting... even more beautiful. He was bewildered! He didn't think it was even possible, for such an already beautiful woman to become more so. He had noticed all the detail that could be seen, her saphire blue eyes now matched each other, her scars wer dulling into smooth creamy skin like her left half, and her graceful hair had grown to a little past shoulder length. He could even sense the presence of flesh where her mechanics used to be. Clearing his head, he decided to focus on the bird outside her window as he listened to what she was saying. He wanted to tell her sooo bad how beautiful she had become, he just didn't have the guts.
"Hiei, I will be gone again tomorrow for a fallow up...meeting...Could you please fill in for me again like last week?"She asked him sweetly. "Hn." he answered as he watched a male bird land next to the already nested female. "Hiei, that's not the answer that I want." she stated. He watched as the male snuggled up to the female probably for warmth or to keep her warm. "Hiei?" It's almost like a move born of affection, for they were now snuggling. He wanted to snuggle with Mukuro. "Hiei, are you listening to me?" Like he would never leave her side unless it was absolutly neccesary... "HIEI!"...just to return again as soon as his errand was over..."HIEI DAMMIT! ANSWER ME, WOULD YA!?" Mukuro yelled and slapped him on the side of the head.
"Huh? Wha-? Yeah, sure!...Oww..." he stuttered as he rubbed his noggin. He looked to her agitated expression. When did she come so... close...? Uh oh... he looked at her...now he's done it...He was now looking at her dead in the eyes. While his expression didn't show it, he was panicking. He quickly averted his gaze to the birds again. Thinking of the warmth they must feel from the other's body being so close, he suddenly had the urge to pull Mukuro that close to his own body. He panicked even more so, after realizing that his body had reacted to her closeness. But more then just...closeness...it was everything about her. Her majestic blue eyes looking into his own crimson ones, he seemed to be lost. Her hair flowing elegantly in the light breeze that came in from the slightly open window...gods! He had to get out of there! His lower reigons were calling out to her, and he didn't want her to notice!
He paused for a moment to think when he realized that she seemed equally lost in his eyes as he was in hers...there's that urge again... only this time it was stronger. Time to go! "Umm...well...I guess I'll...see you when you come...back?" he offered weakly, hoping she would buy it as he made his way towards the door. "...Yeah..." she answered just as weak. "Okay...okay...see ya!" He waved and was gone.
Dammit! She looked at him! In his eyes no less! She angerly looked out the window to see what her attraction was so interested in to see two cuddling birds. 'Wow, they look like they are in...love...' she thought. Her demon sense of smell finally kicked in. She blushed instantly at the lingering smell of arousal. But how could that be? She and Hiei were the only ones that had been in her office for quite some time. The smell didn't belong to her...so it must have been... 'Was he really...aroused? Is that why...he left?' She thought. "Hmm..." 'He did kinda leave in a hurry...'
/The next day\\\
Mukuro clumsily climbed out of bed the next morning. She didn't have the gumption to move again because she didn't get enough sleep, concidering thoughts of Hiei had kept her up again. Damn, she's gotta do something about that. She hobbled over to her closet (remember, her leg isn't in great walking condition since Kurama had done his procedure on it) and pulled out an outfit fit for wearing to the Human world. She really did have a fallow up appointment, but not for a business meeting. For a docter and patient, meeting.
/At Kurama's\\\
"Well, it looks like their healing quite well. Are they giving you any pain when you use them?" Kurama asked as he gently set her right leg back down on his bed. "Not really. Only when I put too much weight on them." she answered. "That could do it. Here." he said, handing her a small vile of neon green liquid. "Drink this." "What is is?" she questioned. "It's a harmless potion that will effectivly speed up your healing process, of both your limbs and your scars." he answered. She shruged her shoulders and guzzled it down in seconds. While handing the empty vile back to him, she said "Kurama, you really are a miricle worker! You've worked so hard for me and have done so well! How can I ever thank you?" Setting it aside, he answered "Make Hiei happy, and let him make you happy. That's all I want from this, is your happiness together." Man he was clever. But so was she. "But...what if he is not satisfied? What if he rejects me? That would make me far from happy and it would ruin the relationship that we already have... What if he becomes weary around me after that? If he rejects me, then that means that I failed to make him happy, Kurama.." she said in a weak voice. "Remember, I gave you that memory erasing potion. And, I don't know why, but I have this odd feeling of success already, and the plan isn't even complete. I have a strong hunch that this is going to work out, just the way we planned. So tell me, has he noticed any of your improvements?"
She sighed in silent defeat. "Well, he hasn't said anything...but I have seen him staring a few times... and yesterday, we locked glances and well..." she trailed off. "Well...?" he encouraged. "..." Kurama raised a cocky eyebrow with a smirk as if he read her mind. "Did he react phisically...?" he questioned as if he knew the answer. "Well...the scent was there...then he hurried out of the room...I think he was blushing, too. He didn't say anything on the matter though. " she answered with a slight chuckle. Kurama laughed. He couldn't help it. He had a picture of Hiei beat red in the face as he ran out of the room. After his laughter subsided, he pat Mukuro on the shoulders. "Don't worry, friend. I really, really think this will work out perfectly. Now, didn't you tell him that you would be back by 12? You've only got an hour..." he finally said. She jumped with surprise at the worded fact. "Oh, yeah! Thanks, Kurama." she thanked and left him with a smile. Of all times for Kurama to be right in his terory, please let it be now...
