Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from the Yu Yu Hakusho series. I own the plot and the story line and that is it. It may sound like Fifty Shades of Grey but I swear, it has absolutely no connection of any kind. So for my faithful readers and those that are waiting patiently for the next installment, I give you Chapter Two! Enjoy...

Kurama looked at the clock that rested on the mantle above the blazing fire. It was ten minutes to seven and he was curious if Hiei was going to show up and if he did, would he sign the contract that bound the little demon to him until Hiei wished to call it off? But almost as soon as he thought that Hiei might not show, a soft knock came at the door. It was 6:52 and Kurama smiled. He had told Hiei not to be late, and so the little demon decided to be early. That was good to know that one simple request had been followed. And they hadn't even started yet. Kurama pulled open the door and looked down at the young man standing there. He smiled warmly and stood to the side, telling him to come in. Hiei hesitated for a moment, having spoken to Ruka he had learned that the youko was more devious than he had been led to believe. He pushed that aside and stepped into the apartment.
"Considering that you are the owner of a huge company," Hiei said as he looked around the spacious three bedroom apartment. "I hadn't expected you to be a conservative type of person."
Kurama smiled lightly as he shut the door knowing all too well that Ruka had spoken to Hiei. However that was fine with him, Ruka knew exactly what he wanted her to know. He was like that with practically everyone that he knew. He wasn't expecting Hiei to turn to him and looked away quickly, trying to mask his thoughts. He had been preparing for this all afternoon and was sure that he had gotten the barriers up, but he couldn't be sure.
"I didn't learn about your company from Ruka," Hiei told him. "If that is what you were wondering. I seen your last name and looked it up online. It says that you were the top of your class in Biology and moved on to Business in college. That was when you started your company that has grown into one of the biggest names in biologically advances in medical research. I must say, I am impressed."
Kurama smiled as Hiei stroked his ego. He had worked hard for that ego to be as big as it is and it needed to be appreciated every now and then. Kurama sat his glass of wine on the cabinet beside the door and offered to take his coat. Hiei shrugged out of the coat and watched as Kurama hung it on the coatrack next to the one that he had with him this afternoon.
"Shall we," Kurama said as he guided Hiei to the living room. He grabbed his glass of wine from the cabinet and offered Hiei some, but was refused.
"First, I would like to ask you a few questions," Hiei said as he sat down on a chair that was opposite of the couch in which Kurama sat. "How can I be sure that I can trust you? You are a fox and no offense, but they are well known for being..." he stopped and searched for the word that best described them, settling on one that seemed as if it was already spoken. "... untrustworthy."
Kurama smirked and sat his glass on the table in front of him. "I have been a human for twenty six years, Hiei. I can't very well be considered a fox in this form. I am bound to this world by the trust that I gave to a human many years ago. Until she passes away, I am stuck here. I have learned to be a trusting person, but only with those that I can place my trust in as well. So I have to ask you, how can I really trust you?"
Hiei blinked in surprise at Kurama's statement, that is what he meant by Koenma had other plans for him. For a moment Hiei thought that Kurama was sharing a deep dark secret with him but then hie question came to his thoughts. "Hey, this was your idea, fox. I don't see what you are asking me about trust!"
Kurama smiled and looked at the demon squirm in the chair across from him. "I see." a soft laugh came from the fox's throat and Hiei swallowed the lump in his throat, but before Hiei could press the matter, the man in front of him continued. "We will have to work on our trust issues a bit later, but for now..."
Hiei watched as Kurama reached to the little table next to him and pulled up a large envelope. He opened the envelope and pulled out several sheets of paper. "This is my contract. There are two copies, one for you and one for me. If you agree to the terms, you and I will sign them both and mine will be filed with my lawyer. Then we will be able to go from there."
Hiei took the papers that Kurama held out to him. There was only one page to the contract, and it seemed pretty straight forward. The simple guidelines were some that were already known, such as regular checkups with a doctor, and of course, the apartment situation. There were several others and Hiei read through them. One stated that Hiei had to keep in contact with Kurama at all times, should Kurama call, text or email, then a response was expected. Hiei could live with that, but the next clause in the contract stopped him in his tracks.
"What the hell?" Hiei reread the clause in the paperwork in his hand and looked up at Kurama. "What do you mean obeying every wish that the policyholder has in mind."
Kurama chuckled lightly. "Read on... it is self explanatory."
Hiei frowned and continued to read. "If the policyholder does not feel that this will happen, then this clause is hereby null and void... but can be reevaluated should the policyholder deems it necessary to revisit..."
Kurama nodded. "You said that you wouldn't bend to my every whim, so the contract states that you can if you wish, but if you don't then that too is fine with me."
Hiei swallowed the lump in his throat and continued to read. The rest of the contract was simply a contract, simply stating that what happened between them stayed between them, that no lawsuits can be filed against the policyholder should things not go as Hiei has expected. The last clause was one that Hiei was glad that Kurama had in place. Stating what Kurama had said to him earlier that afternoon, it is up to Hiei when and how the contract was to end. If Hiei seemed that the contract wasn't being fulfilled as promised, then he could terminate it with no questions asked. Hiei looked up at Kurama and seen him watching him closely. That was something that he doubted he could get used to. Those emerald eyes peering at him as if he knew exactly what was about to happen. But then again, this was the fox's game so he knew how things would go.
"Seems reasonable enough," Hiei said and looked at the contract again. It didn't even bear Kurama's signature yet. He leaned forward and sat the pages on the glass table in between them.
"There is a reason I have yet to sign it, Hiei," Kurama told the little demon across from him. "And it has to do with trust issues. If we cannot get past that... then this may not work out the way either of us want it to. I am offering a trial before you sign it. If you still wish to sign it after tonight, then the contract will go into place. If you wish to walk away, then the contract will be voided. Willing to do that?"
Hiei looked at him and thought about the thought. Hum... that didn't sound half bad, a trial run before the actual signing. He looked at Kurama and nodded. "Yes, I am willing to take a trail."
Kurama smiled lightly and sat his glass of wine on the table as his cell phone rang lightly from his pocket. He held up a finger to motion that he would be right back. He stood up and walked out of the room as he answered the phone.
"Hello, mother," Hiei heard Kurama say cheerfully from the other room. He didn't care to eavesdrop and so he stood up and walked around the apartment. He examined several of the photos that stood on the mantle above the crackling fire. He smiled lightly at a woman holding onto Kurama with a rose bouquet that held a note that read Happy Mother's Day. That was his human mother? Hmm... no wonder Koenma was making Kurama stay here until she died. She was already sitting in a hospital bed in the picture. She wasn't going to be around much longer. Hiei could hear Kurama laugh in the other room and moved along the mantle of pictures. There was one of another young man standing next to Kurama at what looked like Kurama's graduation.
"My little brother," Kurama told him from the other side of the room. Hiei actually jumped and turned to look at him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."
Hiei shook his head. "You didn't... just wasn't expecting you off the phone so quickly."
Kurama smiled and sat his phone on the kitchen counter next to his I-Pad. "My mother always calls to invite me to a family dinner. I go most of the time but I told her that I was a bit tired and had meetings in the morning."
"She doesn't know about your lifestyle," Hiei stated.
Kurama frowned and shook his head as Hiei looked at him. "Of course not," Kurama sighed. "I couldn't hurt her like that. Not with the truth as to who I am really or that I am a darker person than she had raised."
"And you blame that all on the youko," Hiei said matter of fact. "I don't blame you, though... my sister doesn't even know that I exist, let alone what I do for a living."
The thought that Hiei thought of working for Ruka was an actual job made Kurama's heart stop. Ruka always assured him that each of the people that worked there was there on their own accords and that they never once thought of it as their only job in this life. Kurama realized that the trust issues were not going to be broken so easily. This man in front of him was hiding more than he was letting on, and Kurama was determined to find out what it was. But first, that trial sounded like the better path to follow.
Hiei seemed to think the same, for at that moment, he looked at Kurama and felt a moment of shyness. He had never been with a fox before, and he had been told that they were insatiable. He just hoped that Kurama would realize that he wasn't as experienced as the fox was. But that fear washed away as he seen his opponent blush lightly. Was he reading his thoughts or was he shy about this himself. However, Kurama's blush was from something a bit more dark. The thoughts that he had playing through his mind were of making the little fire demon beg for more. Kurama smiled lightly as he took several steps to close the distance between them. He seen Hiei look down as he came within reaching distance and he placed a finger under his chin.
"I will not hurt you, Hiei," Kurama said, softer than Kurama and Hiei had expected. At that moment, both men had realized that statement would become the truth that bound them together. "I promise."
Kurama leaned in and placed a tender kiss on Hiei's shuddering lips. The kiss wasn't forced however, to Hiei it felt that way. He turned his head up so that Kurama had better access and Kurama pulled away. He smiled down at the younger demon and kissed him again, this time a bit more forcefully. Hiei felt Kurama's hands cup his cheek and then one wrap around the back of his neck. A slight pressure behind his ear made Hiei sigh softly into Kurama's mouth as Kurama delved into Hiei's warm depths. The pressure grew as Kurama pulled him closer until Hiei had no choice but to wrap his arms around Kurama's waist. Kurama pulled away and placed tender kisses on Hiei's cheek and then trailed them down until they came to the collar of Hiei's shirt. Kurama released Hiei only to trail his hands up the fire demon's back underneath the shirt that was blocking his path. Hiei lifted his arms as Kurama peeled the shirt off of his warm skin. Kurama smiled lightly and caught both of his hands in the air. Hiei frowned as he watched the fox looked him over. His arms were pinned in Kurama's larger hands and Kurama slowly lowered them until the three hands rested on the back of Hiei's neck. Kurama could see Hiei's muscles flex under the motion and this was what he had wanted to see. He continued his kisses until he came to a scar that rested above Hiei's breastbone. He pulled away and with his free hand, ran a gentle finger over the odd shape of the scar. It was curved and it made Kurama wonder what could have caused this.
"Don't ask," Hiei said suddenly, his voice stern but hiding a pain that Kurama couldn't understand.
Kurama nodded and released Hiei's hands. He led the little demon to a room down the hall that was decorated with a wide assortment of greens and blues. This had to be Kurama's room, but Hiei couldn't be sure. The fox suddenly turned Hiei around and started to walk him back until his knees made contact with the bed. Hiei fell back with a gentle shove from the taller man, he looked up at the fox and watched as he peeled off the shirt that was already untucked. Kurama's well defined muscles flexed at the motion and the sight made Hiei want to run his hands over his smooth skin. This was Kurama's game, and he didn't know the rules. That thought made him think that Kurama hadn't said anything on purpose. He swallowed the lump in his throat and watched as Kurama dropped the shirt uncaring on the chair next to the bed. He slowly reached up and touched the smooth skin. It was soft and unexpectedly taught. He flattened his palms over the skin as Kurama climbed onto the bed, straddling him. Kurama had pushed him into the mattress that seemed to envelope him. But not once did he move to take his hands off, encouraging Hiei to run them over the pale skin. Kurama sighed softly and leaned down into the small hands. Hiei wrapped his arms around the fox and pulled him into a kiss.
Kurama's hands slowly reached down and started to unbuckle the three belts that were needed to hold up the pants on the small waist. Hiei sucked in a breath as Kurama's hands made contact with the muscles that led down his stomach. Kurama broke the kiss and looked down at him. That was when he realized that Hiei was newer to this line of business than he had let on. Kurama sat up and looked down at him again. "How old are you, Hiei?"
Hiei swallowed hard. "Twenty," he answered.
"Tell me the truth, Hiei," Kurama demanded. "How old are you?"
Hiei looked to the side. "Eighteen."
Kurama's mouth dropped open. How could this be? Hiei's scars were at least a few years old... how long has he been in this line of work? Kurama stood up and looked at him as he sat up on his elbows. Hiei sighed lightly. "I may be younger than you had thought... but you have to understand... this was my decision. I know what I am doing."
"Why would you get into this line..."
"I told you not to ask," Hiei said before Kurama could ask. "I was sixteen when I got into this line of work, but no one really cared how young the partner is. I admit... being with other people helped me get over many of the paths that I had to cross. But then... after a while... I kind of wanted more. Then I met Ruka she knew that I was only seventeen. She only allowed the younger clients to be with me until I turned eighteen. Then she told me that I had every right to refuse people if I deemed fit. And there were some that I did turn away. But that doesn't matter. You offered me a contract. Ruka and I discussed this because she knew what had taken place. She told me to be one hundred percent sure about this before I even came here."
Kurama was taken back. Ruka had warned Hiei about what he was really getting into after all. He might have figured that she would talk to him, but he never had thought that she would interfere the way she had. But then again... in this moment he was almost glad that she had said something to him. Hiei did realize that Kurama had darker intentions than just a casual fling with a personal play-toy. Hiei had to know that Kurama and the Youko were the same person and that Youko didn't take things slow or easy. Only Kurama could do that. Kurama sat on the bed beside Hiei and looked down for a moment. He had to know what Ruka had told him.
"What exactly did Ruka tell you about me?" Kurama asked.
"That the youko wasn't exactly gentle," Hiei said. "But she has never realized that was the type of person that I always went for."
Kurama smirked. "You like things kinky?"
Hiei blushed in the brightness of the moon. He nodded and looked at Kurama who smiled back at him. This made things easier for Kurama and that much was plain to see. But that still didn't stop the darker thoughts from crossing his mind. Kurama sighed lightly and leaned back on his hands and thought about how to take things from here. Hiei thought of doing something drastic. After Kurama didn't move for a few minutes Hiei decided that he was going to have to convince the fox that this was something that he wanted. He took a deep breath and stood up in front of Kurama. The stunned fox looked up at him and gasped as Hiei's lips came upon his own. Hiei took the lead and climbed over the fox, pressing him back into the mattress like Kurama had done before. Kurama felt Hiei's hands run through his long hair and groaned as they tightened as his kiss got more rough. The groan gave Hiei the opening that he needed and he delved his tongue into Kurama's mouth. Kurama's eyes flashed for a moment as he could feel Hiei's inner body temperature begin to rise. That wasn't the best idea but at that moment... he wasn't able to move. Hiei's hands ran down his chest and stopped on his stomach. Kurama took that opportunity to take Hiei's hands into his own. He pulled them up until Hiei was leaning chest to chest with him. Kurama kissed his cheek lightly and shook his head.
"This isn't going to happen the way you want, Hiei," Kurama said and quickly flipped them over. Hiei was pressed into the mattress and Kurama looked down at him and smirked lightly as Hiei struggled to move his hands that were both pinned above his head. "If you keep this up, I highly doubt that we will have a contract, Hiei. Your body temp has to remain normal for a while. If not it is going to bring out the Youko in me and things wont be very pretty in the end."
Hiei looked up at him and swallowed hard as Kurama undid the two remaining belts. His breathing was already shallow and coming in short pants. He wasn't going to be able to control his body temperature if Kurama decided to tease him. Kurama seemed to get that message and released his hands long enough to pull his pants off. To Kurama's surprise, Hiei was wearing boxers. That was odd considering he was a demon. Kurama shrugged and looked back at Hiei. "These won't be necessary if you sign the contract. Got it?"
Hiei nodded and squirmed as he felt Kurama's hands run up his thighs until he parted his legs. Kurama leaned down and kissed him lightly on the inner thigh. He smiled lightly to himself as he felt the little demon jerk beneath him. He knew that Hiei wouldn't be able to last much longer. He knew that Hiei was attracted to him and knew that just the thought of that made Kurama's heart soar. This might turn out to be more fun than he had planned.
Hiei's muscles clenched and rippled under the fox's torturous administrations. It might not be torturous to many but Hiei was turned on at the time and his tolerance levels were dropping fast. Hiei suddenly gasped and jerked as Kurama's hot mouth came around his swollen member. His hands clenched the blankets around him and groaned as Kurama continued to tease the little demon. The tip of Kurama's tongue was teasing him to the edge of release and just when Hiei thought that he would break, Kurama released him and pulled away completely. Hiei was stunned. How dare he take him so close to the edge then leave him hanging like that. He looked up at Kurama who had stood up to remove the rest of his own clothing. Hiei sat up to watch the sight that took place. He watched as the pale skin glistened lightly in the moon's beams that made their way into the slightly darkened room. Kurama turned to Hiei and smirked.
"Like what you see?" Kurama asked as he walked to the top of the bed. He patted the bed and Hiei frowned and was shocked that Kurama dared summon him like a dog. "Come and get it then."
Hiei smiled lightly and stood up. He walked to the other side of the bed and watched as Kurama sat down on the other side. Hiei sat next to him but Kurama turned him around. Hiei frowned but soon relaxed lightly as Kurama laid him flat on his stomach. There was something that was calming about the youko at that moment. Hiei felt that he could trust the man that was about to top him. But that thought scared him. He had never been topped like this. Hiei felt Kurama pull his hands behind his back and felt a warm vine wrap around his wrists. The youko was planning something, but Hiei was faced down in the mattress and could see what. Shuddering as Kurama shifted behind him, Hiei felt Kurama's hands pull his hips up. In this position, Hiei was sitting on his knees, his hands bound behind him, and his chest and face pressed into the mattress. As odd as this seemed at the moment Hiei couldn't remember a time when he had been more aroused.
Hiei groaned lightly as Kurama pressed a finger to his opening. There was a pressure that he knew, but this time... it wasn't like before. The pressure gave way to a wave of pleasure as Kurama added a second then a third finger, stretching Hiei til he knew that Hiei would be able to accept him. Hiei then felt the fingers pull away and whimpered at the sudden loss. He heard Kurama chuckle behind him and assure him that the loss was only temporary. True to his word, Kurama slowly pressed the tip of his own erection to Hiei's entrance. Hiei winced at first as Kurama slowly filled him. Once Kurama had buried himself into Hiei's warmth, both men groaned at the contact.
"Do you trust me, Hiei?" Kurama asked as he leaned closer to Hiei's back.
Hiei struggled to answer the fox, for he was too close to the edge. He nodded and panted softly. "I trust you."
Before Hiei knew what to expect, he was lifted by the binding at his hands. He was pulled up by the fox and left at a ninety degree angle. The pull of his muscles was more pleasurable than painful. Kurama slowly rocked his hips into Hiei and Hiei cried out at the sensation. The binding at Hiei's hands were an anchor for Kurama, that much seemed to dawn on Hiei as soon as he felt the sensations built with each thrust. Hiei cried out softly as Kurama rocked into him, each thrust more forceful than the last. Hiei could see stars buzzing around him as he felt his pleasure build again. Kurama groaned as his own peak was approaching quickly. Hiei's cries of pleasure grew louder with each thrust and Kurama knew that they were both close. Hiei's muscles in his back bunched suddenly as he began to fall over the crest of oblivion. Kurama followed a second later thrusting into Hiei with a force that neither he nor the Youko possessed. Hiei shouted out his name as he came, Kurama coming undone to hear his name on those succulent lips. Kurama struggled to hold himself up, knowing that Hiei couldn't bear both of their weights. He sat back as he panted and untied Hiei's hands. They didn't move for a second and Kurama reached over to the younger man. He gently lifted Hiei into his arms and pulled him into an embrace. Hiei was panting lightly as they came to a stop once Kurama's back pressed into the pillows at the headboard.
"... I'm sorry..." Kurama said and shook his head. "I didn't mean to hurt you..."
Hiei shook his head. "You didn't... not at all."
Kurama looked down at the smaller demon. He was able to take him like that? This actually surprised the fox. He had used that position before and the ones before were crying by the time it came to the end. But Hiei wasn't crying nor had he asked him to stop. Kurama smiled lightly as the realized that Hiei really was stronger than he looked.
"If you want to leave..."
Before Kurama could continue, Hiei shook his head against Kurama's chest. "Don't even go there, fox. I'm not going anywhere."
"So in other words... you do trust me?" Kurama asked him.
Hiei nodded. "Yes, I trust you."
Kurama smiled lightly as he looked down at the man that fell asleep in his arms. Hiei was going to be a fun challenge. Perhaps maybe not that big of a challenge but a challenge, nonetheless. At least they had established a line of trust between the two of them. But a single night was just the beginning. Kurama was off on the weekends and Hiei really did have no clue what was in store for him.

End of chapter Two. I know it was really long but it couldn't be a cliffhanger. I will limit some of the chapters to come so that my readers don't get too bored. But come on... how could you, right? Comments and reviews are needed to stroke my ego so don't be afraid to speak your mind. Until next time.
