Frowning at the mirror, Hiei looked at his reflection and could hardly recognize himself.

"Kurama, remind me how the hell I got dragged into this?" Hiei asked annoyed.

Long, strong arms dressed in black surrounded Hiei's shoulders as slender hands came around towards Hiei's neck to fix his bowtie. Kurama's face appeared in the mirror and his emerald eyes met Hiei's ruby-red gaze in the reflection.

"Because Yuusuke has asked us to attend his wedding and we agreed because we are his friends," Kurama explained.

Hiei rolled his eyes. "Okay. That's your excuse. But you fail to answer my question. How the hell did I get dragged into this?" Hiei asked again.

"Because, if you don't go," Kurama started as he lowered his head towards Hiei's neck. He pulled down the collar of the suit and suckled Hiei's neck until he left a dark mark. He then pulled the collar back up, to hide the evidence, and went up to Hiei's ear. "…I won't do what I promised I would later on." Kurama teased.

Hiei had closed his eyes and his mouth was slightly agape. When he opened his eyes again Kurama saw that they were clouded over with lust. He couldn't help but smile at this. Hiei's expression then changed as he began to pout, surrendering to Kurama's reasoning. Kurama, finished fixing Hiei's bowtie, un-wrapped his arms from around Hiei's shoulders and turned his attention elsewhere. Hiei immediately turned around and caught Kurama's wrist.

"If you do it now, you can assure yourself that I will go." Hiei stated seriously.

Kurama looked at him and smiled. "We still have to finish getting ready, Hiei." Kurama argued as he gently pulled his wrist away.

"We've been getting ready for the past few hours! I'm done getting ready!" Hiei complained.

To be truthful, it only took Hiei about five minutes to put on the suit, that is, after the two hours it took Kurama to get Hiei to stand still long enough to actually put it on. Kurama on the other hand, was a different story…

"When does the damn thing start anyway?" Hiei asked, bothered that Kurama had denied him.

"In about forty-five minutes. The temple is only five minutes from here." Kurama answered and coughed a bit.

Hiei went to go lay on the bed. Once situated, he crossed his legs at the ankles, put his arms behind his head and stared pointedly at Kurama. Kurama glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and then proceeded to panic.

"Hiei, what are you doing! You're going to wrinkle the suit!" Kurama exclaimed.

He went up to Hiei and lifted him up by his arm gently, pulling him up to stand. Hiei gave him a what-the-fuck-does-it-matter look and went to sulk in a shadowy corner of the room. He continued to stare at Kurama. Their eyes met for a moment and then Kurama turned and went to the bathroom to check his hair. Hiei looked up at the heavens, seemingly praying for mercy.

"How many times are you going to stare at yourself in that thing?" Hiei asked.

Kurama just smiled and continued to check his reflection. After a good five minutes he exited the bathroom.

"How about we go check on the girls?" Kurama suggested.

"Hn." Was all Hiei could answer as he followed Kurama outside of the room.

Downstairs there was a myriad of high-pitched voices. When Hiei and Kurama entered the room, they were the center of attention, but only for a split second, before the girls went back to giggling and gossiping. Hiei and Kurama shared of look of confusion, and then turned their eyes back to the scene. Keiko, Botan, Yukina, Shizuru, Shiori, Atsuko, and even Genkai were all piled into Kurama's small living room, all fussing about each other's hair, make-up, dresses (especially Keiko's), etc. All except Genkai (who was wearing her usual style of clothing), who sat quietly on a couch, studying the scene. Hiei and Kurama headed over to her.

"It seems that they are all quite busy," Kurama observed and coughed.

Genkai smiled slightly and took a sip of the tea she held in her hands. "It makes me wonder how they can have so much energy. But I suppose I was like them once before, just not so… peppy." Genkai commented.

At that moment there was a knock on the door. All the girls cried "Come in" in unison, making Hiei twitch. Kuwabara opened the door and stepped in, Koenma following behind him, bearing the appearance of a teenager. Kuwabara and Koenma were both wearing black tuxedos.

"Well, doesn't this look like a happy scene?" Koenma said.

All the girls giggled a bit and went back to what they were doing. Kuwabara and Koenma sauntered over to where Kurama, Hiei and Genkai were situated.

"Where's Yuusuke?" Kurama asked.

"We just dropped him off at the temple." Koenma supplied.

"Why so early?" Genkai asked.

"The guy's a nervous wreck. We left him there so that he can get over it." Kuwabara answered.

"Aren't you afraid that he'll run away?" Hiei put in.

"He won't if he knows what's good for him!" Kuwabara stated.

"Besides, we left him with company." Koenma said.

"Company?" Kurama inquired.

"Jin, Touya, Chuu, Rinku, Shishiwakamaru, and Suzuka are with him. They'll make sure that he doesn't get "cold feet"." Koenma said.

"They all came over to go to Yuusuke's wedding…?" Genkai mused.

"Yes, they did." Koenma stated. At this, Yukina came over.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help but overhear. Did you say that Touya and everyone were here?" Yukina inquired.

"Yukina!" Kuwabara exclaimed and placed himself awkwardly in between her and Koenma. Hiei looked at Kuwabara with contempt for a second then focused his attention on his sister. Koenma side-stepped Kuwabara and tried and get to Yukina, but not quite getting there.

"Yes, they're there." Koenma answered her. He looked at Kurama. "Shouldn't you do something about that cough?" He asked.

Kurama realized that he meant him. "I apologize; I didn't realize that I had been coughing. I'm sure that it's nothing." Kurama reassured him and Hiei at the same time, who had been looking at him a bit worriedly.

From somewhere in the mass of girls Keiko called out.
"Is everybody ready?"

All the girls stepped aside so that she could be seen. She was wearing the most beautiful white gown which accented her natural curves. The tips of her arm-length gloves delicately covered her dainty fingertips. Her hair was up in an elaborate style, with a few tresses curling around her delicate neck. The diamond necklace and earring set made her face glow and look like an angel. Kurama went toward her; clasped Keiko's gloved hand and kissed the knuckles tenderly.

"You make a most beautiful bride. Yuusuke is a lucky man." Kurama stated and was rewarded by Keiko's blushing face.

"Can we get going already?" Hiei remarked.

All the girls stared coldly at him, making him take a few steps back. The look of malice in their eyes would make the strongest daemon want to go back from whence it came.

"Hiei is right girls. If we don't get going soon we'll be late." Koenma put in, noticing how the girls were staring at Hiei. He glanced over at Hiei, and, if he hadn't known better, he could have sworn that Hiei had just sent him a grateful look. Well, if he hadn't known better. With that everyone started parading out the door.

When everyone arrived at the temple, the guys went in first to make sure that Yuusuke wasn't anywhere to be seen, so that the girls could sneak Keiko in, not letting Yuusuke take a peek at his blushing bride. After the girls took Keiko to the assigned room, the guys went in search of Yuusuke. They found him, along with the rest of the guys, in a room far apart from Keiko's. He was pacing the floor nervously. When they walked in, Yuusuke took one good look at Hiei and burst out in hysterical laughter.

"Gods Hiei! I didn't think that you would come through! You don't look bad in a suit! Hey Kurama, what did you have to do to get him to come? Bribe him or something?" Yuusuke exclaimed.

Hiei scowled and looked away, blushing slightly. Kurama just smiled.

"It's 'bout time you blokes got 'ere! This one's 'bout to wear an 'ole in the floor!" Chuu exclaimed.

"Damn bloody right! I was wonderin' when y'all were going to get 'ere! I've been real eager for the weddin' to start. My ears have been wigglin' non-stop!" Jin put in.

"We would have gotten here sooner if the girls would have just stopped fussing over Keiko's…" Hiei started grudgingly, but his sentence was cut short as Yuusuke grabbed his arms and started shaking him.

"Keiko? How is she? Is she okay? How does she look? Is she nervous? What…" Yuusuke blurted out at once.

"Whoa! Hold on there, Casanova!" Kuwabara said as he pulled Yuusuke off of Hiei, who looked like he was about to make this wedding into a funeral.

"She's fine Yuusuke. She's with the girls." Koenma stated calmly.

"She looks ravishing." Kurama put in.

"I want to go see her!" Yuusuke said as he started walking out the door.

"No can do, bloke!" Chuu said as he grabbed Yuusuke by the waist and set him down on a couch. Yuusuke struggled but to no avail.

"Hiei and I can go check on her if you like." Kurama offered and coughed a bit.

"Please…" Yuusuke said, sending them a look of gratitude.

Hiei turned promptly on his heel and went out the door, Kurama following close behind. "We'll be back soon." Kurama called over his shoulder.

Checking in on the girls didn't take long. They were just sitting there, talking and laughing, waiting until it was time for Keiko to walk down the aisle. As soon as they were sure that everything was okay, Hiei and Kurama headed back. Right before they turned the corner to go into the room where Yuusuke was, Kurama spied a restroom. A thought sprung into his head.

"Hiei, wait!" Kurama said.

"What is it now, fox?" Hiei asked.

Kurama retraced his steps and peeked around the corner then he went past Hiei and did the same, making sure that no one was there. After he made sure, Kurama grabbed Hiei's wrist and pulled him into the restroom. Before Hiei could protest, Kurama had pushed him into one of the stalls.

"Kurama, what are you…?" Hiei tried to ask before Kurama clamped down his hand over Hiei's mouth.

"Shhh. I promised you, didn't I?" Kurama said, taking his hand off of Hiei's mouth.

Kurama wrapped his arms around Hiei's waist, searched for the belt buckle and took it apart. He un-tucked Hiei's shirt and ran his hands over Hiei's chest. Hiei shivered at the touch.

"Kurama…I don't think...we should be doing this…not here…" Hiei protested weakly, his hands wandering behind him to caress Kurama's muscularly sculpted legs. But even as he said the words, his body reacted to Kurama's touch as Kurama started to put his hand down Hiei's pants.

"I don't think that I can wait until this is over. That could be hours from now." Kurama supplied.

Hiei said nothing. That was enough for Kurama to know that Hiei had given in. Kurama un-buttoned Hiei's pants and let them fall to his ankles. He grabbed Hiei's throbbing member and played with the tip for a bit.

"Kurama, if you are going to do this, I suggest that you not toy with me." Hiei bit out through clenched teeth.

Kurama didn't need further invitation. He picked Hiei up by the waist and set him down kneeling on the toilet seat, his face towards the wall. He quickly un-buckled his belt and let his pants fall to his ankles. He teased Hiei further by rubbing up against him.

"Kurama…" Hiei hissed through his teeth.

Kurama grabbed Hiei's throbbing member once more and started pumping his hand in a slow, tantalizing motion. He felt Hiei push into his hand, urging him to go faster. He kept a slow rhythm for a while longer, until he thought that Hiei was going to explode in rage and need, then started going faster and faster. He heard Hiei moan slightly and saw him tilt his head back a bit. With that, Kurama stopped. Hiei was about to protest but was silenced when Kurama put his hands on Hiei's hips and entered him with a harsh thrust. Hiei let out a harsh grunt and put his hands against the wall to steady himself. Kurama grabbed Hiei once more and started thrusting his hips and pumping his hand in a steady, fast-paced rhythm. He started going faster and faster, in and out, in and out, pumping his hand in the same steady beat as his hips. He felt Hiei wriggle underneath him, his hands searching for something to grab on to. It was clear to see that Hiei was about to climax. Kurama wasn't so far behind him either.
Hiei didn't know how much longer he could take it. He was about to climax and was trying his hardest to hold it back, along with the cry that came with it. He couldn't hold it anymore. Hiei cried out and was about to let go when both he and Kurama heard the door open. Kurama slowed down but didn't stop.

"Why'd ya have to go and eat 'fore the thing started?" It was Chuu.

"I was hungry! And it's taking too long!" Rinku complained.

"It won't take much longer. We're just waitin' for Hiei and Kurama to come back and then we'll start." A pause. "You had to go an' get the suit dirty!" Chuu exclaimed.

"Sorry…" Rinku said apologetically.

There was a sound of running water and paper towels being used. Kurama could feel Hiei start to shiver. If Hiei cried out it would blow their cover. But Kurama, for the love of him, couldn't stop. He felt like he was possessed. So he did the first thing that came to mind. He took his index and middle finger and put them into Hiei's mouth. Hiei moaned softly but not loud enough for Rinku and Chuu to hear. Kurama felt Hiei start to suck on his fingers greedily. If there weren't other things pending, Kurama would have given him something else to suck on. He pulled his fingers slowly in and out of Hiei's mouth and kept up the same steady beat of his hips and his other hand. Kurama bent closer to Hiei's ear.

"Not much longer now, itooshi. Just be patient." Kurama crooned, trying to be reassuring. The only response was Hiei biting down on his fingers, indicating that he didn't think he could wait much longer.

"There! All done." Chuu said. "Now no one will be able to tell the difference."

"Alright. Let's go then. Hiei and Kurama should be back by now." Rinku replied.

Hiei and Kurama heard the door open and close as Chuu and Rinku stepped out. Kurama waited just a bit longer to take his fingers out of Hiei's mouth. Then he took his hand and returned it back to Hiei's hips and began thrusting with more vigor. Within a few minutes Hiei threw his head back cried out as he climaxed, Kurama following suit a few seconds later. Kurama felt the warm, sticky semen gush into his hand. He slowly uncurled his fingers and brought his hand to his lips, cleaning his fingers off one by one with gentle licks. When he had finished he saw that Hiei was watching him intently, the look in his eyes saying that if he continued for much longer it would be his turn to be on his knees. Kurama smiled and pulled out of Hiei slowly, too slowly Hiei thought. He then bent down to pull his pants up and re-arrange his clothing to look presentable. Then he did the same for Hiei. When he was done, Kurama took Hiei's face in his hands and kissed him passionately. Hiei returned the kiss, biting Kurama's lip and making it bleed. Their tongues soon met and helped deepen the kiss further. After a few minutes they both had to stop for air.

"We have to go back. They're waiting for us." Kurama stated, panting breathlessly.

Hiei didn't answer. He only stared at Kurama. There was a look in Hiei's eyes, and Kurama couldn't quite place what it was. Then Hiei blinked and it was gone.

"After you." Hiei said.

Kurama opened the stall door and looked around to make sure that no one was there. He did the same with the door leading out into the hall. Once he was sure that there was no one there, he motioned for Hiei to come out. Then they headed to the room together, Kurama walking in before Hiei. Almost immediately they were attacked by a very nervous groom.

"What took so long?! I was getting worried! Was there something wrong?! Please tell me she's okay!" Yuusuke blurted out.

"She's fine, Yuusuke. They all are. They're just talking and laughing. Sorry it took us so long. We got…distracted." Kurama said, his arms up in self defense, coughing a bit. He glanced down at Hiei and saw that he was staring off into a different direction, looking nonchalant.

The priest walked in then. "We're ready when you are." He advised.

Everyone looked at Yuusuke.

"What are you all looking at me for? Let get out there! Yeah! I'm getting married! . . . Wait… I'm getting married…" Yuusuke exclaimed.

"You're just now realizing this?" Hiei asked sarcastically.

Before anything else happened, Chuu grabbed Yuusuke by the waist, carrying him as if he were a sack of potatoes, and proceeded to go out of the room and head for the altar, everyone else trailing behind. Hiei shot Kurama a nervous glance before they left the room and Kurama smiled reassuringly. There was nothing to worry about after all. It was just the wedding of one of the most powerful daemons and one of the most frightful women in the human realm. There was nothing to worry about. It was just a wedding, after all.

The entire ceremony went on without any disturbances. Kuwabara was the first to enter the room, Shizuru on his arm. Then Kurama escorting Botan. And last but not least was Hiei with Yukina at his side. Although it did not register on his face, Hiei was happy to be close to his dear sister. The couples split and went to their sides. The bridal march started up and Keiko was seen at the entrance, her arm tucked securely in her fathers. She had the most beautiful, radiant smile on her face. Before handing her over to Yuusuke, her father lifted her veil and kissed her on the cheek, tears shining in his eyes. Then the ceremony began. Ancient words were spoken, vows were exchanged, many tears fell and at the end the couple shared their first kiss as husband and wife. Then the couples left in the order that they entered, only this time Keiko was on Yuusuke's arm, her smile even more radiant than before and Yuusuke's smile was so wide that Hiei feared his jaw might snap.

"It was a beautiful wedding, don't you agree?" Yukina asked, interrupting Hiei's train of thought.

Hiei looked at her, and after a moment he offered her a tiny smiled. "Yes… I suppose it was." Hiei responded, feeling comfortable enough to share some of his sentimentality with his sister.

He was rewarded with a beaming smile and a beautiful laugh. He felt proud to have her as a sister.

"The reception is next, right?" Yukina asked.

"Reception?" Hiei inquired.

"Yes. The after-party. You are going, aren't you? It'll be fun." Yukina asked, her eyes hopeful.

Hiei could never say no to her. He nodded stiffly in agreement but grumbled to himself. He had wanted to go home with Kurama, so they could finish what they had started in the restroom.

'This "reception" thing better end soon.' Hiei thought angrily as everyone made their way towards the reception hall.
