Kurama began to awaken as the sun peeked through the window. He decided he
would blame Yusuke and Kuwabara for his pounding head. After all they certainly were
no help as they kept handing him drink after drink. As his senses returned to him, he
noticed another presence in bed with him. His head lay on the person's well toned chest
and his leg was throne over their legs. He lay pressed close enough to find they were
unmistakable male and very naked. It wasn't that his bed mate was male that bothered
Kurama, but the fact that he could not recall the night they lay together. With a bit of
reluctance he pulled away from the warmth this other person offered and sat up. After all
if he stay curled up to this warm body he would not have to face reality just yet and he
wouldn't need to leave for an empty home.
"Kurama?"
The voice sounded familiar, if not a bit slurred from sleep. He took a calming
breath and turned to the owner of the voice. As he looked upon him all of the calm just
gained fled once more.
"Sh…Shuichi! What…How?"
"Wow I didn't think anything could fluster you."
Kurama took a moment to calm his nerves again. Seeing his step-brother laying
there was something he never expected.
"How did this happen?"
Shuichi let out a heavy sigh as he sat up. The blanket slipping low and pooling in his lap caught Kurama's skilled eyes. Kurama could see Shuichi's torso clearly now. As
Kurama had expected Shuichi was very well toned., with six pack and all. On the upper
left arm was a tattoo of a rose in full bloom. Kurama looked back up to lock eyes with
Shuichi. He could read the amusement shining in them.
"I hope you like what you see."
Without thinking Kurama reached forward and gently caressed the tattoo. The
touch of Kurama's finger tips sent shivers down Shuichi's spine. Though it was the look
in those emerald eyes that warmed his insides.
"Oh…I got that after our first night together."
As amusing as the look that passed over Kurama's face was, Shuichi could have
kicked himself as the fingers jerked away. Kurama's head was spinning with the
information just given to him.
"What do you mean? Wasn't last night our first night together?"
Shuichi shook his head and stood from the bed. The perfect picture of immodest
beauty standing before him was almost enough to distract Kurama. Shuichi pulled on a
pair of torn jeans breaking the spell.
"How long?"
Shuichi knew Kurama was asking how long they had been lovers. He supposed
the truth was best. He turned towards the redhead.
"For about a week. I've been looking after you ever since you began drinking.
Though…usually your friend comes and takes you home before you can wake up here."
"My friend?"
"Yeah he's short and grumpy. I think he called himself Hiei?"
So Hiei had know about this. Kurama would have to have a nice long chat with
his best friend. Somewhere in the Makai a certain fire demon suddenly had a feeling of
dread wash over him. Back at Shuichi's, he made his way to the bedroom door.
"I'll go start breakfast while you get washed up and don't worry it's edible. Oh!"
As he made it into the doorway he paused.
"I thought you might be interested to know, that I haven't slept with you in your
current for. Just with your kitsune form. By the way I really like the ears and tail."
With an audible click the door was closed behind Shuichi. Kurama sat wide eyed
on the bed.
"What!"
