Chapter Three

Some part of him said to be smart and not tell Danielle. If she knew then she would either be ashamed of his weakness or would accuse him of betraying her. If she asked if the other woman was pretty then what? What could he say if she asked?

There was such love in her eyes that Hiei was hesitant to tell her anything about what had happened. If he were tell her everything then that look would leave her eyes and be replaced by pity. He tried to gain strength from touching his mate's arm. "Was she pretty?" Danielle asked softly.

She knew? "How did you-"

"You won't look at me when I'm changing, you refuse to be naked near me. For crying out loud, Hiei, you ran away when you realized that I was getting aroused!" Tears gathered in her eyes. "I gave you my virginity and my heart! I bore two children for you!"

Hiei reached to touch her cheek only to have his hand slapped away. "Onna, listen to me. Compared to you, she wasn't worth looking at. If she hadn't captured me and forced herself onto me I wouldn't have even known she existed." Hiei reached for her again and touched her cheek. "Don't turn away from me, Danielle. Not again."

It was a tenderness that only a few could honestly say they saw with Hiei but she didn't want to hear whatever lies there were. The truth wasn't quiet when he pulled her into a arm embrace and screamed to her when his lips covered hers. There had been another woman but not in the sense that she had been thinking only moments before. His heart belonged entirely to her.

A dull ache appeared from between her legs as their kiss deepened and Hiei gently pushed her against the bed. Chills went down her spine as he moved so he was lying on top of her, his erection pressing against her hip. He was hard for her and no one else could have possibly hoped to have him while in life or in death.

Her eyes closed as he started rubbing against her, their breaths heavy. Would they make love tonight or would they tease each other into completion? What did Hiei have planned? "Onna." Hiei said calmly.

Danielle opened her eyes and watched as he softly touched her, silently urging her to sit up. Complying with his silently requests she raised her arms as he pulled her shirt off, pausing only a moment afterwards to stare at her with an intensity she hadn't known before. How was it possible that there were no flames to burn them?

Their lips clashed in a searing kiss as she grabbed the bottom of her mate's shirt and pulled it off of him. "You'll have to tell me who the bitch was that tried to take you from me so I can kill her slowly." Danielle murmured as Hiei tore her bra from her body.

Hiei didn't answer as he lifted his lover's hips and tore her pants off as well as her panties. He could feel his pants becoming tighter as he stared at the glistening dark curls that hid his prize from him. She wasn't fighting him for control tonight but maybe someday he would ask her to fight him.

He slowly undid h is pants and shed the remaining articles of clothing onto the floor. A hiss left his lips as he entered the now gasping woman, amazed at how tight she was after all these years. She had waited so patiently for him and now he was going to reward her for all of her patience.

Soft moans left Danielle's lips as Hiei filled her beyond anything she had ever felt before and moved harshly against her. She couldn't remember when he had last taken her like this and distantly wondered who had hurt Hiei enough that he had been anxious with her. Whoever the wretch was that had hurt her mate was going to die and she'd tear the bitch into a thousand of tiny pieces. When she was done she'd present the pieces to Hiei on a golden platter.

Her mouth opened in a silent scream as her entire body shuddered from the force of her orgasm. Hiei gave a sharp thrust that quickly reminded her that Hiei wasn't done. His thrusts were kept at a steady pace even as her nails dug into his shoulders and drew blood.

Their lips crashed together as Hiei released into her, filling her with his essence. They stared at each other, both panting for air and either moving from their position. "Do you still I'm not interested in you, onna?" Hiei inquired lightly.

Danielle smiled softly as she stared at her with a look of absolute adoration. "I might need a little more convincing." Danielle responded softly.

Feeling himself hardening again at her answer, Hiei smirked in response. He swore he was going to make her too sore to move properly in the morning. With that goal in mind, they began round two.

"Danny. Hiei. Rise and shine, lovebirds."

Hiei growled as he cracked an eye open and saw Yusuke standing at the foot of the bed with a shit-eating grin on his face. "Go away." Hiei snarled as he held onto Danielle.

"Koenma wants to talk to you two."

Danielle grabbed her pillow and threw it at her cousin in response. "Can't walk. Too sore." Danielle grumbled into Hiei's chest.

Yusuke's grin widened as he dodged the pillow and picked it up. "Go take a warm back and meet us at Kuwabara's in an hour." Yusuke told her.

"Fuck you."

"Do you want me to drag your naked ass to the kitchen with your son sitting in the living room eating breakfast?" Yusuke threatened. "Besides, it looks like you were fucking Hiei last night."

"Bastard. Fine, I'm up."

Hiei raised an eyebrow at the exchange before deciding that he'd be better off not knowing. "Kuwabara's?" Hiei questioned as he looked at the former Detective.

"Yeah. One hour." Yusuke gave them one more grin before leaving the room.

Not for the first time nor for the last Hiei cursed Yusuke and Koenma both. He had wanted to spend time with his family before the Reikai started anything but clearly he wasn't going to get his way. He'd have to wait until later on just to spend any time with them.

As he finished dressing he realized that Danielle was staring at an old family picture. "Onna?" Hiei questioned.

"I'm just wondering what the Reikai found out."

Embracing his wife, Hiei closed his eyes. "Mom! That guy who keeps buying your art's here!" Aaron shouted through the door.

"Fuck." Danielle hissed as she pried herself from Hiei's grasp.

Hiei followed her out to the living room and watched as she forced a smile. "Jaganshi-san, oyaho." The man said with a small bow.

"You don't need to be so formal." Danielle told him as she moved to a nearby closet. "Hiei, this is James Parks. Mister Parks, this is my husband Hiei."

Hiei nodded slightly as he eyed the man cautiously. With long light brown hair that had blonde streaks in it pulled back into a low ponytail, the man was admittedly charming in appearance. What was it that Aaron had said before? The man was just interested in getting in Danielle's pants? "Pleasure." James said with a small nod. "I was hoping, Danny-san, that you'd be willing to do a lunch meeting today."

"I'm sorry but we were planning on spending today together. My husband just got back a few days ago and we're all trying to readjust." Danielle pulled out a painting. "Here we go. I hope this is satisfactory."

She turned the painting so they could see it and Hiei couldn't help but smirk a little. The man was clearly interested in demons and Danielle couldn't help but paint a bunch of demons fighting against each other in a bloody scene. With a red and black background that had dead trees in the horizon, the painting was enough to send chills down the spines of any ningen. "I honestly don't know where you get your inspiration." James said as he moved closer to the painting. "I ask you for painting after painting of demons and you always manage to surprise me."

"It runs in the family, I suppose." Danielle said with a small wink to the two men in her life.

Aaron covered his mouth as he silently laughed while Hiei smirked. "I have a request to make for another painting." James said as he pulled a wad of bills from his pocket.

"Yes?"

"I want a sensual one. Male and female. Make it somewhere around explicit with all of the details."

Danielle frowned slightly as she thought about the idea, softly clicking her tongue in thought. "Mom?" Aaron questioned.

"May I have a day or two to think about it?" Danielle questioned.

"Of course I'll pay you very well."

"I don't doubt that, but a painting of such…" she paused a moment trying to figure out the right word to use. "Sensual details will require careful detail and with my son being only eight, I'd need to take great care to ensure that he and his friends won't come in and start messing with it."

James nodded and took the painting as he handed the wad of cash over to the woman. "Pleasure doing business with you. Mister Jaganshi, it was a pleasure meeting you. You have a very beautiful and talented wife and a very handsome son."

"I know." Hiei stated calmly as he watched the man leave. "Onna?"

Danielle set the money down on the coffee table and hugged her husband. "Business, darling." She turned to look at Aaron. "You get ready. We're going to see what Koenma wants."

Aaron groaned in response and headed back to his room to finish getting dressed. "We'll discuss this later." Hiei told the woman.

"That's if I don't have to work tonight." Danielle told him. "I couldn't sit around all day and just mooch off of family and our friends. As soon as I lost the baby weight, I went out and got a job. Selling my paintings helped pay the bills. Now they're getting Aaron through school."

"We'll discuss this later." Hiei repeated.

"You're damn right we'll discuss this later. I'll see if somebody will take Aaron for the night so we can discuss it without him hearing."

Aaron smiled as he came out of his room completely dressed and grinned at his mother as if he had just had some kind of interesting thought. "Hey, Mom, if I decide that I want to learn how to drive then can I learn?" Aaron questioned.

Lightly messing her son's hair up, Danielle kissed his forehead. "When you're older." Danielle told him with a pleasant smile. "Until then, walk and ride your bike."

Following his family out the door, Hiei couldn't help but notice how much their son loved his mother. Someday he hoped to have that same amount of adoration from the boy but until then he'd suppose he would find the strength to deal with it. Until then he'd see just what exactly the toddler wanted from him and his family.

lostmoonchild: I consulted my notes and got to thinking that maybe it would be someone from their past that was the cause of all of this. In order to figure out who exactly was behind the whole thing I had to look back at the first two stories so I have a general idea about what's going to happen and why. My only thought... the name. What should it be? That, my dear readers, will be answered with a price of two reviews. Love it? Hate it? Demand more? Tell me and I shall answer with a chapter. *is hyper*
