Disability/deformity (chronic pain, deafness)-Kurama POV-Hiei/Kurama
Hiei had found me fascinating after my fight with Karasu. He'd hunted me down to the cave next to the beach, his red eyes glowing in the darkness. "...are...sure...fox?" I could make out very few words by watching his lips move by the moonlight. "I can't hear you," I think I said, making weakened, vague gestures toward my head, "The bombs...were very loud..."
He cocked his head then, moving toward me slowly, letting his fingers drag along the wet, stone walls. His arms were no longer mangled, left no traces of the dragon he'd fought so hard to conquer. He looked perfect. I was damaged...
When I looked back up, I caught the word, "You," the damned arrogant smirk. I strained myself, heard nothing, not even the pounding of my blood or heart; everything was gone. Desperately, I grabbed for his hand, feeling every callous, smelling the fires and energy leaking from his pores. Gently, he brought my fingertips to his lips; I closed my eyes to feel the formation of words; "This is interesting, even for you," is what I caught. I cocked my head. He kissed my brow, trailing the sash from my cheongsam between his fingers; I hadn't noticed he'd taken it. A cold sweat upon my brow as he pulled it tight over my eyes. I now had only scent and touch to go by. I couldn't hear anything outside of the loud ringing in my head.
He brought my hand to his lips then, speaking very slowly, "You'll like this," I felt; I blushed.
Hiei had a bit of a fetish when it came to my vulnerability. Breathing slowly, I nodded; my clothes fell quickly, likely torn. I shivered from the salt in the air, the cold wind in combination with the warmth of his fingertips and tongue. Desperately, I sought him out, sighing as he allowed my lips to meet his. Kissing him felt like life again. He mouthed something against my neck. Sudden heat on my chest, my naval, downward... I felt my chest heaving, felt his breath on my legs. I touched his mouth, whimpering: "It's okay...just feel," he spoke so clearly against my skin.
The fire licking at the nape of my neck, the heavy numbness of my limbs. I felt blood from my bad leg, the burning of gaping holes barely healed. Hiei dug his fingers into the burns, and I felt the vibration as he purred against my throat. I thought I heard him. But there was only black, only the distant ringing of a fight he would help me forget...
