Hiei was pissed.
No. Beyond pissed.
Enraged.
His eye twitched as he stared at the large basket of delicacies lying before him on his doorstep. "That bastard." He growled, clenching his hands.
"Hiei?" His sister's voice reached his ears as she shyly approached, "What's wrong?" Her eyes snapped onto the gift basket and she squealed happily, pushing past Hiei to get to the food.
"Oh! There's a card…" She plucked it off and handed it to her brother, who was the only one who could read out of the two of them.
Hiei growled as he plucked the card out of her hand and sneered as he read, "I hope you two enjoy the food. Thank you for the warm greeting yesterday Miss. Yukina, have a pleasant day, Kurama." Hiei sounded as if he was going to throw up as he clenched the card and crumpled it.
"He's such a sweet man!" She gushed and picked up the heavy basket and hauled it inside, before starting to go through all the food. "Oh Hiei! You should see! There's even some sweet rice balls in here, they look homemade…oh we'll never be able to pay him back for this."
"My thoughts exactly," Hiei growled, "Stay safe. I'll be back." He flitted off to find that son of a bitch that dare make them indebted to him.

Kurama stood in front of the camera and did a dramatic pose, trying to hold in the vomit as he smiled sweetly at the camera.
SNAP
"Perfect! Now! That was "School-Boy", let's try something else…how about "Male-Stripper?" The photographer looked through her list of poses and outfits, sending a flirty smirk to Kurama.
"No, thank you." He held up his hand politely, clamping down on his scowl as he turned and went to change into one of his Chinese tunics. Those were so much more comfortable.
"Aww come on little Kit, why not flash your body off for that camera? You were certainly enjoying it in that little school uniform." Youko sounded far too amused as he struggled to hold in his laughter.
"You know what, Youko? Go rot in hell."
"That's not a very nice thing to say to your elders."
"Elder, that's for sure." Kurama snorted as he changed into his green tunic, paying extra attention to his long red hair, making sure it was beautiful.
"I'll have you know I'm still considered a prize, and a young demon in the Makai." Youko sounded like he was pouting.
"Oh really? So they consider being around when dirt was first created, young?" Kurama snickered as Youko opened his mouth to reply when their attention was snapped to a scream coming from the lobby.
Kurama hurried out, pushing past his workers with a certain level of annoyance, he gasped when his eyes landed on Hiei glaring daggers at him from across the room.
"When did he get here?"
XXX
"There that bastard is!" Hiei snarled, clenching his fist tight enough to draw blood.
"You fucking asshole. How dare you." Hiei crossed the room, looking like a waif child compared to all the beautifully dressed people before him.
"How dare I what?" Kurama looked taken aback as Hiei grabbed the front of his outfit and jerked him down, barring his teeth at him.
"How dare you make Yukina and I indebted to you with all that food!" Hiei hissed to the fox demon before him, trying to ignore the slight heat in between his legs from being so close to the handsome man.
Kurama was outraged, "Indebted?" He snarled, barring his teeth in true fox fashion. "How dare YOU! I was just trying to help! If you can't accept a little charity, then go to hell!" He shoved the shorter demon away from him, not wanting to use an actual weapon in front of all these humans.
"No. YOU go to hell you vain bastard! You have no idea how long I struggled to provide Yukina and I with food! I try and try every day to give her the substantial amount she needs to live on! And then you just fucking parade in and leave a huge fucking basket of the most expensive food on the market! Now we will have to BOTH work our asses off to pay you back for that!" Hiei picked up the nearest object, in this case, a vase and heaved it at Kurama.
Kurama ducked and avoided the vase as it smashed into the wall behind him. "It's called a gift you imbecile! You don't repay for gifts! That's why they're gifts! If I really wanted to get to repay me, I'd get your pretty sister to be my little whore, sound good to you?" Kurama didn't realize he had toed it over the line.
"YOU DIE!" Hiei screamed and lunged at him and started to try to rip him to shreds with his nasty claws.
Kurama wasn't going down without a fight as he wrestled with Hiei around on the floor, shredding at each other with claws, teeth and fists. They were extremely pissed at the opposite man.
And they both had raging hard-ons.
"You're such a vain little lucky bastard!" Hiei growled, landing a nasty punch to Kurama's chest, knocking air out of him.
Kurama glared up at him angrily, "And you are a little disgusting poverty-stricken weasel! What's your point?"
"You have no idea what Yukina and I have been through, have you! I want to see you live MY life for a day, and tell me if you like it, pretty boy!" Hiei stopped wrestling finally. Panting, he realized his face was inches from Kurama's.
Kurama stared up at him irritably, "Get off of me." He said and pushed him aside as he stood up, trying to ignore the shivering sensations he was receiving from the feeling of Hiei's erection having brushed against his erotically.
"You ever make a crack about my sister again, I'll kill you. Leave us the hell alone. I don't want anything to do with you. You're annoying." Hiei said, straightening his clothes as he turned and strutted for the door.
As soon as it slammed shut, everyone looked around at each other with a mixture of reactions as Kurama growled and stormed from the room.
An older gentleman, a worker for the fox, chuckled heartily once Kurama was out of earshot. Surprising them all as he said, "Ah, young love. It has a funny way of blooming."
Kenji sent the man a nasty glare, "Kurama does not love him." He hurried back to follow his crush and gently knocked on the office door. "Kurama?"
"What is it, Kenji?" Kurama's voice considerably softened for the young man as he opened the door slightly.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Kenji looked concerned as he chewed his lip cutely and held his clipboard against his chest, making it almost like an anchor to hold him steady.
"Would you please give me some tea? Some of the kind that I really like? Make yourself a glass too." Kurama said softly and then shut the door.
"This is bad kit, that human cannot be falling for you. You are just stringing him along." Youko chided the young male.
"I am not! I care about Kenji a lot. He's a dear person to me." Kurama sounded abashed as he avoided directly looking at the fox.
"So you say. Then what was that little erection you had going on down there when you were pinning that fire demon to the floor?"
"Okay, first of all, I wasn't pinning him to the floor. Second off, my erection is far from little. Just because I'm not some over inflated pervert like you, doesn't mean I'm not well endowed."
"I resent that. I'm not a pervert." Youko pouted and crossed his arms moodily.
"Now who's lying?" Kurama sounded all too smug as he disconnected the link, hearing the door open.
"And here we are, you're tea." Kenji smiled as he set the cup on the small desk and then looked at Kurama steadily, "Anything else?"
"Yes. Come here," Kurama waved Kenji closer before leaning in a stealing and soft kiss. There was nothing special about it for Kurama, it almost felt like he was kissing a mannequin. A certain sense of disappointment flooded his system.
However, Kenji was on cloud nine. His eyes were wide as his lips touched the famous model's. Then they slowly slipped shut and he let the kiss happen, enjoying his boss's sweet taste.
They soon broke apart and gave shy smiles at each other, "Well…thank you." Kenji whispered and hurried from the room, a bright red blush on his cheeks.
"That was a disappointment," Kurama sighed and sunk into his chair. "I was so hoping him and I could have something special too. Oh well, I may as well keep trying. Perhaps we just haven't hit that magical moment yet. I was still angry."
"You know, talking to yourself is a sure sign you're crazy." Youko butted in on his thoughts.
"Well then you're definitely insane, aren't you?"
"Not so much me as you, I'm not the one who has conversations by myself AND talks with an alternate ego maniac in my head."
"If you don't like it, then get the hell out."
"No, I'm comfy." Youko replied, settling his butt more on his seat and stared Kurama down with a smirk. "Besides, you'd miss me too much."
"If by miss you mean joyously happy, then yes. I'd totally miss you." Kurama said, sarcasm thicker than oil as he rolled his eyes.
"Generally there is usually only a single definition for the word 'miss' and it's not that."
"Shut up Youko."

Hiei refused to touch the damn food, he kept pacing back and forth while his sister prepared some of the food carefully, not wanting to waste a single bite.
"Hiei, are you sure?" She asked again, for the 10th time, making Hiei just grunt and nod in agreement, ignoring how his stomach was growling.
"Just because it came from Kurama, doesn't mean you shouldn't eat it…" She said softly and then offered him a bite. "Please?"
"No. I'll get my own food. I hate that stupid bastard, and I won't take his charity!" Hiei said and then left the house in a rage.
Hiei just walked around town, trying to ignore his stomach and the ever popping up thoughts about the pretty fox. Why couldn't he just get him out of his mind? Why did he always imagine a smile on his pretty face?
Hiei's eyes landed on a large poster hanging in a clothes shop and felt a strange feeling in his stomach. It fluttered and his heart beat a little harder as he eyed the model in sexy clothes.
"Damn hunger." He said, and turned away from the poster. "Damn Kurama, damn hormones, damn dicks for getting erections. Damn everything but Yukina!" He said, making some people stare at him in shock as they inched their way around him.
"Mommy! He said funny words!" A little girl piped up, pointing to Hiei.
"Wanna hear me say more?" Hiei snarled and then jerked his head and stormed off, hating society. What would he GIVE to live in a big, fancy mansion where he didn't have to do anything out in the real world but sit on his ass and drink good old wine in front of a roaring fire.
SLAM
Hiei's head throbbed as he dropped to the ground, clutching his forehead. "Damn it all to hell!" he snarled, glaring up at the metal post in front of him that he hadn't seen in his musing.
Instead of seeing stars though, he saw a flash of red hair and green eyes floating around his eyes. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" He yelled, slamming his fist onto the ground in aggravation.
"Damn you too hell, rich boy." Hiei spat, pushing himself up as he started to walk, then he saw a woman struggling to carry some heavy bags of clothes.
"Hn," Hiei walked over and took the bags and supported them, "Where too?" He said, ignoring her as she jumped in fear and looked at him. He rolled his eyes, "I'm not a rapist. I just want to help." Maybe she would give him a bit of money for the help.
She gave a gentle smile, "Oh thank you…this way please, to my car. I'm really sorry if this is troubling you." She apologized, giving a bow.
"Don't worry about it." He grunted as he put the bags into the backseat and turned to her, giving a small bow out of respect.
"What's your name?" She asked, also giving him a small bow in thanks.
"Hiei," He said after a few minutes of hesitation. She was just a middle aged woman, what could she possibly to do him?
She smiled softly, "Flying Shadow, that's a beautiful name." She sounded so gentle and kind, Hiei's heart ached for a mother…someone like her.
"What's your name?" He asked back, knowing it was only polite to do so, and besides, she had asked first. He had every right to ask back.
"Shiori Minamino."
