So this is chapter 2? Hmmm....seems nice. I'll take it! That's right, now it's mine! ALL

MINE!!!!! But if you're nice then maybe, just maybe, I'll share with you. After all, what's a

story if you can't share it with your friends? Well, I guess....it'd technically still be a story. But

that doesn't matter! All that matters is that you're here and...oh....you brought a friend. . .

wonderful! Well, now that everyone is here, let's get on with chapter 2 (not to be confused with

"let's get IT on with chapter 2" ---- that's just weird). ENJOY! :)

I do not own jin and touya nor yu yu hakusho (milk, milk, lemonade, around the corner fudge is

made)

Hiei couldn't believe the amount of pressure that was building in the center of his chest.

Deep within the pits of his blackened youkai heart, something cried out to him, told him that

something was about to happen to both he and the yoko he so loved. But he could not

understand what that something was. "Itoshii (lover/ my love), please tell me what it is that

troubles you. You haven't been yourself all morning." The silver haired kitsune had come up

behind his lover, and though Hiei did not turn to look at him, Kurama still saw the stern

expression that appeared upon the youkai's pale face.

"Like I told you last night fox, nothing's the matter with me."

"Except for your choice in hair styles."

"Hn."

"I am sorry Hiei, it's just that you seem so....distracted."

"Hn. And why is that?"

"Well, for one, you're cleaning your katana with your bare hand."

Hiei looked down at his weapon, and for the first time noticed the long, thin trails of

blood flowing forth from the open wounds at his hand. The cloth he had been using, rested at his

side, and the demon realized that he had dropped it when Kurama had started speaking, but had

indeed been too caught up in his own inner thoughts to have noticed. And now the pain from the

sharpened blade had found him and the fire demon winced as the burning sensation began to rise

up through his arm. Hiei brought his hand to his mouth and, in almost cat like manner, began

licking the open tracks of flesh.

Kurama stepped in front of him, and in one fluent and eloquent motion lowered himself

so that he was on his knees before the injured fire demon. "Here Hiei" Kurama whispered as he

took his lover's arm, "allow me to do that." The fox's expert tongue began to follow the trails of

blood, traveling all the more slowly as the hot liquid began to become less.

"Hn. Thanks....Kurama."

"I wouldn't thank me just yet itoshii, it seems there is some I missed."

Hiei looked once more at his hand. Aside from the scars from the wounds, there was no

more red to be seen on his whitish skin. "Don't be stupid fox, there's no more blood on my

hands." He gave the kitsune a sideways glance. "Unless you're color blind."

"I never said it was on your hands Hiei. See, it's right there. On your neck." The yoko

moved forward and let his tongue begin to slide along the nape of his lover's neck, and then

bringing it up so that his lips met with Hiei's in a single passionate kiss. "Come on Hiei"

Kurama whispered as he broke away. "I bet I can do something that will make you forget all

about whatever it is that is bothering you."

The kitsune rose to his feet, hand still holding lightly onto the fire demon's arm. Hiei

hesitated a moment, but then eventually rose to meet his lover, his red eyes never leaving the

fox's golden ones. And as they headed off to their shinshitsu (bedroom), Hiei knew that nothing

would be able to completely rid his thoughts of the evils he knew were coming, but at least this

would heal them for a time. He had no way of knowing that this would be the last time he and

his kitsune would be together. He had no way of knowing how terribly it would end. . .

"Sazuka. . .I feel. . .so weak."

"That is only natural my dear ice demon, just ignore it."

"But. . .but why is it happening?"

"Hmm, that is an interesting question. I assume it has something to do with your partner

being gone so long, your body must miss him."

"My. . .body?"

"Yes, your body. Perhaps you're suffering from, oh how shall I saw this? Withdrawal?"

"But we've never. . ."

"Never what? Been intimate?"

"Well. . ." Touya gazed (so to speak) down at his feet. How could he talk to Sazuka

about these matters, and what business was it of his to ask? The ice demon had always believed

that what one did in the bedroom setting was something not to be publically discussed, and he

couldn't help wondering why it mattered so much to Sazuka if he had done anything sexual with

the wind master. Touya just chalked it up to being that the clown youkai had sick fetish for

hearing of other's intimate encounters since he was obviously having none of his own. "No, we

never have. We're friends." He raised his head so that if he had the eyes with which to see he

would be level with Sazuka, "And that's all we'll ever be."

Jin hummed a small unidentifiable tune as he walked the path towards home. He

couldn't believe how excited, how happy he was just to be able to wander down that road. In

fact, he was starting to frighten himself with how joyful he really was. The wind master knew

that he had a large task before him, and that even with the sleeping potion it would be one of

considerable difficulty. For one, he had to devise a plan in order to get the kitsune to take the

elixir in the first place. He couldn't very well walk up to him and say, "Hey Kurama, want ta go

and be a pal by drinkin' this and have Hiei thinkin' yer dead? You'll be bein' asleep, but he'll

think ya've gone and kicked the bucket!". And for another, the wind master had to be sure that if

he did indeed carry out the plan, that Hiei wouldn't come after HIM when he found out what he

had done. It was indeed going to be complicated, but Jin already had something in the works.

He'd decided that he would go to Gandara and buy a series of empty Makai darts, and use them

in the same manner Risho had. Of course, the red headed demon had no doubt that Kurama

would not be fooled by this and would easily avoid being struck by them. . .but that is exactly

what Jin was counting on. . .

And there's chapter 2. I know, I know, it's rather small and not a lot really happened, but I have

a reason for this. Chapter 3 is going to be incredibly long and if I kept chapter 2 going then

chapter 3 would turn into chapter 2, making it even longer, making chapter 3 shorter, making the

story end quicker, making the readers unhappy! So see, like Jin, I've got a plan in the works and

it's important that I stick to said plan. But a ton of stuff is going to happen soon so get ready to

once again be on the edge of your seat! Oh, and be sure to think about what, in fact, Jin's plan

might be. :)

P.S. Many of you may notice that there was a yaoi scene between Kurama and Hiei in the

beginning of this chapter. Truth be told, I had to cut it down b/c it was a VERY intense lemon

scene not suitable for children. But I still have the scene on my computer's memory so if any of

you do wish to read it then you're welcome to ask me to send it to you (just provide the e-mail).

And don't worry, I won't think you're perverted in you ask for it ------ that was one of my

biggest fears when I asked my favorite authors to send me their lemon scenes. My theory is: If I

wrote it, then I'm more perverted then you. :)
