Chapter One

Kurama smiled when he saw Hiei sit up from his bed. The koorime had fallen unconscious after using the kokuryuhaa on a very powerful youkai their team had fought. The redhead had taken Hiei home with him, tended his wounds, and waited until he recovered.

"Feel better?" Kurama asked.

"Hn." Hiei snorted and pushed the blankets off him. "You?"

Kurama shrugged. "I'm good. Yusuke says he felt your dragon shift during the travel back. He's getting stronger, ne?"

Hiei got off the bed, rubbing his right arm where the dragon tattoo was. "Yeah, he's stronger."

Kurama chuckled. "And Koenma says we've improved. Their system upgraded itself. We've been moved to the supreme S-class division and he's getting worried we might plan on taking over Ningenkai again or something."

Hiei snorted again. "Hn. He's an idiot," he said, pulling on his cloak.

Kurama watched as Hiei walked to the window, getting ready to leave.

"Ah, and we're on vacation for awhile," Kurama was able to say before Hiei left with another "hn".

The redhead sat back as he felt Hiei's ki fade out from his senses. He was hoping the koorime would stay for a while. Kurama sighed again and shook his head. It was no use for him pining away for someone who would not return his feelings. It was better to do something than keep on waiting and waiting.

Kurama stood up and closed the window. When he met up with Hiei again, he would make sure he can finally admit his feelings and that Hiei would not escape so easily.

(…………)

Hiei gasped as shivers ran down his spine. He had to stop and catch his breath as bolts of electricity ran down from his right arm, spreading throughout his body. He landed awkwardly near a forest clearing, and he had to run deeper into the trees to hide himself from humans.

The dragon tattoo on his arm shifted and pulsed, making Hiei almost dizzy with the great surges of power running through him. Was the Black Dragon getting crazy?

Hiei gasped as his right arm raised itself up and released the kokuryuhaa. Dark energy rose from the ground as blasts of air almost uprooted the trees surrounding him. The massive Black Dragon rose up in the air, screaming in mingled fury and delight, then wove back to the ground.

Hiei stared, transfixed as the great dragon slammed to the ground in a great surge of dark energy. The blast of power created a large crater that Hiei had to jump back to avoid being sucked in. The dark energy melted off the ground, and Hiei's eyebrows crossed as the dark mass flowed and revealed a tall figure. The dark energy revealed dark, long hair tied up in a messy ponytail, powerful shoulders, and a lean body. Power and might oozed off the human-like form and Hiei's confusion grew. He also realized that the dragon didn't return to his right arm as a tattoo. Was this human-like being the Black Dragon, then?

The creature looked up and released another surge of power, almost making Hiei's head swim again. Then the naked being seemed to sense his presence and he turned to face Hiei, his whole wiry, strong body tensing.

Hiei stood up straighter, feeling as if he was being challenged. The creature didn't seem to care. He was about a foot taller than Hiei. His skin was a few shades darker, as well, but still having that pale yet healthy glow to it, as if he used to be out in the sunlight a lot. He was very handsome, too. Not like Kurama but he had strong facial features, almost boyish like Yusuke except more manly and strong. His eyes arrested Hiei's attention. They were darker than sin with red irises that seemed to glow with some inner light.

Hiei swallowed, suddenly feeling so vulnerable without the dragon tattoo in his arm. "R-ryuu?"

The creature smirked and nodded. "You may call me that, then…"

The koorime blinked.

The newly christened Ryuu walked up the crater where Hiei was, seemingly unaware of his nudity.

"You're beautiful…" he said, his dark eyes staring straight at the koorime.

Hiei blinked again before regaining his composure and going into a fighting stance, one hand on the hilt of his sword. "Who are you?" he barked, getting annoyed.

The handsome face chuckled and stood before Hiei. He looked like a very young samurai. "It's me. I'm the Black Dragon whom you've cradled so lovingly in your arms for the past five years, Anata."

Hiei's eyebrow twitched. Anata? Darling?!

"You're crazy."

Ryuu's eyes gleamed hungrily as his gaze traveled from Hiei's feet, up his body, on to his face. "But it's true. I am your Black Dragon."

"What the hell happened to you?" Hiei demanded. "You're supposed to be a baby dragon, aren't you?"

The question bought some embarrassing memories to Ryuu. "I grew up…" he said lamely, not wanting to explain that he was weak and feeble back then.

Hiei scowled. "What are you doing out here then?" Hiei asked, standing straighter, visibly relaxing now that he could sense the truth in Ryuu's eyes. "Come back and stop this nonsense. We have to train." Hiei added, holding out his right arm.

Ryuu shook his head, his long dark hair flying in the soft breeze. "I want you."

"What?" Hiei snapped.

The dragon in human form stepped closer to Hiei.

"Your ki got stronger and I am now able to transform into a creature where my desires can be fulfilled. I am here before you because I want you."

Hiei still looked confused. "To train more, then?"

Ryuu smiled and watched Hiei's elfin face with a hungry gaze. He had been mastered by this fragile looking youkai. For a long while, he had waited and aided Hiei in his goal to getting stronger. He wanted to claim this creature as Hiei had claimed him. When he had been summoned from his deep sleep, he had wanted to kill Hiei, but further assessment of the koorime made him want to have the koorime as his own. Hiei, a demon whose exterior showed strength and speed but who's interior was filled with hesitation and sadness. Being part of Hiei for years had opened up the koorime's emotions and thoughts to him.

Ryuu's master, Hiei, was an orphan and had lived alone most of his life. Ryuu had been witness of how the delicate looking koorime struggled hard to become a powerful demon. He was also witness to Hiei's fears and confusions. Of his love for his sister and his silent mourning for the mother he had never seen. In a way, they were alike. Ryuu, like the koorime, could be considered an orphan. And he was put into deep stasis as a child with orders to obey those who would summon him. Unlike Hiei, Ryuu had many masters. Demons, humans, even gods. To Ryuu, they were pitiful creatures who wanted nothing but more power and glory. To those masters, Ryuu was nothing but a weapon. A weapon that they could use for more gain until that weapon turned against them.

For a long while, Ryuu had remained in slumber for none had the guts to challenge and summon the dreaded Black Dragon, who consumed its own masters. For awhile, Ryuu was happy to be left in peace, until loneliness set in. He began to miss the feel of the wind on his face, the thrill of a battle, the euphoria of having conquered a strong opponent. But his legend had stricken fear in most demons' hearts, and he was left in solitude for years.

And then came Hiei. The first time Ryuu saw him, he wanted to laugh. A child wanting to master him?! What an insult. And then, Hiei had smiled.

"Black Dragon…" Hiei had whispered, small hands caressing Ryuu's face in wonder. The dragon would've bitten him if he wasn't so taken with the koorime's smile. It was the first time someone was actually happy to see him and it made Ryuu's heart twitch in a way that it never twitched before.

The creature, Hiei, had cradled him. Opposite his rough ways he showed the others that Ryuu witnessed later, Hiei had been gentle with him, almost coddling him. "You're just a baby then?" Hiei quizzed.

Ryuu had scoffed. He was in his tiny dragon form because he just woke up, he wanted to point out. And after he would reveal his true form, the little brat would be really sorry. He was also hundreds of years older than this… this baby.

For a long while, Hiei had held him, which puzzled the Black Dragon. Usually, they'd be off to kill somebody ugly and powerful by now, like most of his masters had done but Hiei remained quiet, hugging him while staring off in the distance.

"I…" Hiei began and paused. Ryuu was getting bored. If the brat wasn't going to do any conquering then he could at least… smile at Ryuu again.

"I have a sister…" Hiei finally continued, hugging the tiny dragon tighter against him. "You'll help me protect her, won't you?"

Ryuu was baffled. Protect? His ancestors never said anything about protecting. His short list of orders were to follow, to conquer, to destroy, and to become more powerful than ever to make the Clan proud.

"I'll be stronger…" Hiei shook his head. "I'll get stronger so that I'm not a burden."

I'm strong enough, Ryuu wanted to say. Let's go kill someone or something.

Instead of looking for a target, Hiei began the ritual to make themselves one. Ryuu had been livid with anger. A child as a master?! It was humiliation in the extreme. In the end, Ryuu became a tattoo in Hiei's arm and day by day as Hiei grew stronger, his goal was to be free of this child who fancied himself a warrior.

But as months and years passed, Ryuu became troubled. Instead of leeching off Hiei's powers, he was actually helping the brat in his fights. Instead of sulking and planning a strategy to kill of the koorime, he was actually letting the child be his master.

Ryuu didn't know how that happened. All he knew was Hiei actually had a beautiful smile and he wanted to see it more often.

The link to their minds opened after the Ankoku Bujutsukai Tournament in the Makai. This time, Ryuu discovered more of Hiei. How we was afraid of his sister's reactions regarding their kinship, the guilt of not being strong enough as a child to protect his mother, the sadness of having nothing but his sword to accompany him, the confusion with his happiness whenever he was with friends, the shame that he didn't deserve, the kindness from his friends and sister.

Ryuu wanted to comfort him, an alien feeling. He wanted to hug the koorime as the brat had the first time they met. The scowling face became sad and child-like whenever they were alone and away from friends. The gruff voice became soft and whispering.

"Rest well…" Hiei would lull him to sleep, cradling the dragon tattoo on his arm. And Ryuu would. He wanted to do the same to Hiei. To feel light and sleepy, with no worries that tomorrow they would need to conquer something bigger and stronger. Ryuu wanted Hiei to feel this. He wanted the sad red eyes sparkling, the scowling lips to smile. He wanted the koorime to be his.

This confused Ryuu, greatly for his elders had little knowledge imparted to him as a child. Was it possible to become the master's master?

Ryuu was becoming annoyed and frustrated at the turmoil of emotions in his head and heart. With regret, he left the koorime in stasis for awhile as he sought his Clan. This time, his elders gave more orders. Don't be stupid; get stronger; mate him if your dick won't leave you alone; dominate him, you shouldn't be whipped; if he refuses, kill him and find another.

Ryuu didn't want to kill Hiei, and he definitely didn't know what 'mate' meant. So, whenever Hiei was sleeping, he'd explore the Ningenkai or the Makai (wherever they were staying at for the night) and try to learn.

Soon he knew what mating was… and also found out where his dick was. And from observing Hiei's friend, Yusuke, he learned that what he felt for Hiei was love. To want to protect and make his master happy. To comfort him and aid him in achieving his goals. To dominate him meant to take care of him and his needs, to own him body, mind and soul.

Now that the koorime was powerful enough, he could lay his stake and claim the koorime as his. He was able to become humanoid in form to show his need and desire for Hiei.

Hiei looked away for a moment, noticing that the dragon was still naked. "We have to get out of here."

Ryuu blinked, his heart throbbing as he stared at the elfin koorime he had been dreaming of craddling in his arms for so long. In one swift movement, he had the surprised koorime in his arms. A second later and his mouth covered Hiei's. Another heartbeat and Hiei was struggling against him.

"Anata?" Ryuu called, surprised that Hiei would not want his touch.

Hiei was still trying to detach the dragon from him. "What are you doing?!" he hissed, truly annoyed. One arm pulled back, hands ready to punch the living daylights out of the dragon.

Ryuu caught his fist. The dragon scowled. "I want you. Stop struggling!"

Hiei paused in shock that anyone would have the guts to order him around. The dragon took this chance to wrap his arms around Hiei's waist and to devour Hiei's mouth in another inexperienced but hungry kiss.

The koorime began struggling again, suddenly very aware of something hard against his stomach. He tore his mouth from the dragon, breathless and red-faced. He slapped Ryuu. "Stop that!"

"Anata!" Ryuu cried out, puzzled.

"What are you doing? Let go of me this instant!"

Now annoyed, Ryuu refused to let go and pushed Hiei to the ground. "Hold still." he barked at the squirming koorime. "Anata!"

"Stop calling me Anata! I'm not your darling, idiot."

Ryuu looked hurt. Hiei's hands went to his chest and tried pushing him away again. "Get off me…" he snarled.

The dragon was getting impatient. "Quiet!" he snapped and began pulling off Hiei's scarf, unclasped his cloak and started removing his clothes. He was finally able to mate with Hiei. To dominate him.

Hiei growled and was going to bite Ryuu when the dragon's lips closed over his again.

"I want you…" Ryuu murmured and latched onto Hiei's neck, sucking and licking at the soft flesh, making Hiei redouble his efforts in getting free.

"Why do you struggle so?" Ryuu asked, pained. "Do you not want my touch, Anata?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Hiei hissed cheeks red now that they were both very naked and that Ryuu was on top of him.

Ryuu took a deep breath, one long finger stroking Hiei's reddened cheek. "I let you use my power. I am your kokuryuhaa and yet you decline my touch. Shall I take leave of you then?"

Hiei's eyebrows crossed. "Will I still be able to use the Black Dragon Technique?"

Ryuu chuckled. "No. I am the Black Dragon. Since you denounce my touch, why must I give you my powers?"

"What?" Hiei growled. "I worked hard to be supreme S-class, you bastard! You just can't leave me!"

Ryuu grinned. "Shall we continue, then?"

Hiei looked scared and determined at the same time, and Ryuu decided he had never seen anything so beautiful. "You want my body…?"

Ryuu shook his head and placed a chaste kiss on Hiei's lips. "I want all of you, Anata. Let me have you…" he pleaded softly, breath tickling Hiei's face.

It couldn't be too bad, could it? If the dragon wanted his body, then he could have it since Hiei was using Ryuu's body to fight as well. The dragon's dark, dark eyes made Hiei a bit scared. He looked as if he wanted to… to eat him? Hiei shuddered. Dragons ate ki and not demons, didn't they?

Ryuu tried his best to keep himself still. His heart was racing and his head was giddy with happiness. He was here! With his Hiei! Finally! But, the fear in Hiei's eyes made him hesitate. Did Hiei think he would be hurt?

The koorime swallowed hard and looked away. "You…" Hiei faced him again, a little more confident this time and Ryuu smiled. "You'll be…?"

"I will be your mate." Ryuu supplied, happily.

Hiei scowled. "Don't be stupid." he snapped. The red eyes softened and again Ryuu marveled at Hiei's delicateness, so unlike his usual self. "You'll still protect Yukina, right?"

Ryuu's handsome face became serious. "I will. For you, Anata, I will do anything."

Hiei slowly nodded. "Do what you want, then."

Ryuu nodded back, smiling predatorily. Finally, finally… the creamy pale skin he had hungrily watched as Hiei bathed, the soft pink lips, his tiny body… all his for the taking. The Black Dragon took a deep breath to steady himself and lifted Hiei's chin with his fingers.

The koorime grimaced as Ryuu next began showering his face and neck with kisses. Hiei had to stop himself from struggling when Ryuu started biting and licking every inch of skin he could get. It was a bit disgusting to have Ryuu's hot, wet tongue probing at him. The feel of another's naked skin made Hiei's skin crawl. The dragon spread Hiei's legs apart and positioned himself between them.

Hiei bit his lip, trying to make himself relax and winced when he felt something hard, hot and damp probing at his entrance. Then his back arched, yelling out as he was impaled and ripped in half. Tears escaped his shut eyelids and crystallized into tear gems.

"Anata…?" Ryuu called out, breathless. His brain was swimming with the tightness, the heat of Hiei's caverns.

Hiei forced himself to breath. It was worse than any full-powered blast attack. What had Ryuu done to him?

"W-what…?"

The Dragon kissed him again and began moving against him. Hiei threw his head back in a silent scream as the pain began again. Ryuu noticed his discomfort but did not realize he was the source, so he repeatedly impaled Hiei, only feeling his oncoming orgasm.

Hiei gritted his teeth, hands clenched in fists as he felt something warm trickle down his legs. A metallic scent reached his nostrils and he realized it was his blood. He gasped as Ryuu moved faster and harder against him.

"Anata..." Ryuu called out, tensing against Hiei and finally reached his orgasm. Hiei squirmed as Ryuu's essence filled him. The Black Dragon slumped against him, breathless and spent. The koorime winced as the dragon's spent manhood slipped out of him and the dragon's essence oozed out of him.

Ryuu held him closer, kissing and holding him so gently that Hiei felt his cheeks burn at their intimacy.

"Are you done?" Hiei finally asked.

Ryuu kissed his forehead and looked deeply in his eyes. "Did you not like it?"

Hiei's flush deepened. "Hn…" he muttered.

Ryuu watched him, a small smile on his face. "You are lovely, Anata…"

"Don't call me that!" Hiei snapped and winced as he felt pain shooting up his waist. "Are you done yet? We have some training to do."

The dragon shook his head, smiling so handsomely that Hiei felt his cheeks go hot again. "No training for today, Anata. Let's stay here. I want you very much."

Hiei grimaced. "What do you mean? Do that again?" he demanded.

Ryuu nodded, eyebrows crossing in confusion. "Did you not like our bodies becoming one, Anata? Do you not want it to happen again?"

Hiei swallowed at the innocent question and squirmed under Ryuu's loving but confused gaze. Should he tell the idiot it hurt like hell?

Ryuu kissed his cheek. "Anata?"

The koorime shook his head. "Just do it, then."

The dragon remained staring at him. "I take it you are not pleased." he said, eyebrows crossing in growing annoyance. "Do you not want me touching you? Have I displeased you in any way?"

Hiei growled under his breath. Who knew his Black Dragon could be as stupid and as persistent as Kurama? "No."

Ryuu frowned. "No, what?"

The koorime cringed again. "No, I was not displeased…"

The dragon was studying his face, suspiciously. "Do you speak the truth?"

"Yes, yes!" Hiei replied, exasperatedly. "Just- just do what you want."

Ryuu smiled again, making Hiei's heart flutter, and the koorime berated himself for such reaction. "Thank you, Anata. Shall we spend the day together, then? We can train on the morrow."

Hiei looked away, unconsciously pouting for not getting his way. "Whatever."

Long, slim fingers caressed Hiei's flushed cheeks. "You are lovely, Anata."

"Don't call me Anata!"
