Chapter 7
Hiei's POV
This girl (who would soon be a woman if she wasn't careful) continues to surprise and shock me with everything she does. I know she is only curious and wishes to know the facts from a reliable source, but does she have to make it sound so…provocative.
However, what she has just asked me has sunk home. The question made me really think about it. I wasn't blind to how humans prevented births in this twisted world of theirs. I had even come across more than my share of x-rated material, be it belonging to the detective or his buffoon of a friend.
I'm glad that Lucy is not one of those types of females that have to continuously pester a response out of you. Those types of people annoy me to the point I want to remove either their heads or tongues. So I find myself quite content to stand in front of the girl sitting patiently at my feet as I stare back at her in deep thought.
Would such an idea work? Would the human made condoms stand up and keep me from impregnating the girl? Hn, why am I even entertaining the idea of bedding her – the Heat will still be there afterwards until the week is out.
I hear Lucy shuffle, reminding me I had been silent long enough. "I…wouldn't know…from personal experience. However, I suppose if done right then yes, demons could use condoms. Why do you wish to know?"
The girl has the good graces to blush and look down at the hands in her lap…which just so happens to be uncovered. I'm betting her earlier moving around parted the blanket I gave her. The sight of those white, frilly undergarments made my blood pump faster and my mouth run suddenly dry. Realising my mind was going to places it shouldn't (not while in Lucy's company, alone or not) I made myself look out the open window at the night sky.
Lucy, go to Yukina and Genkai in the kitchen and remain there, I suddenly order the girl mentally, when I notice several pairs of glowing red eyes lurking in the darkness some distance away.
I know and trust her to follow my command, so I waste no time grabbing my katana lent against the wall as I flit out the window to take care of the beasts. By the time I've already caught up to the main group, I've already taken down several. Those were low level demons – too stupid to fight the instincts and the lure of an untouched female in Heat.
As I take down beast after beast, my thoughts from earlier about taking Lucy resurface. I wait till I've killed the last one before I let myself think on the matter again. I know Lucy's Heat was only just starting. If she was moaning now about feeling too hot at night then in a day or two she'll be screaming and begging for relief. If I were honest with myself, I felt sorry for the girl. If not for that bastard doctor messing with her DNA, Lucy would be leading a normal life right now, and not training herself to exhaustion just so she could reclaim back some of the control she had lost in her life.
I had heard her silent vows to herself the night before. I admire Lucy's tenacity and the fact that even though she was scared of what the future would bring, she didn't let it get to her and adapted quickly. If the little talk we had earlier didn't prove it then her actions of late had. So I had to wonder again as I made my way back to the temple.
Could I take the risk and bed Lucy, while using a simple, human form of birth control?
If the fox had been here I would have conferred with him. As it were, with him being engrossed in such a delicate mission (Ami being his partner aside) I couldn't afford to contact him via the communicators we always carried. I certainly couldn't take my idea to Koenma. I wouldn't be sure whatever advice he gave me was fully trustworthy or not. That left Genkai. She had proved countless times that whatever incentives she offered were a hundred percent pure.
A plan of action made, I entered the temple and relaxed when I saw the females gathered in front of the TV. "The threat has been neutralized. There was a few lower D class, the rest were mindless beasts."
They didn't have to ask what the demons wanted, which was good, because I didn't feel like explaining. Yukina looked worriedly at Lucy, who had snuggled into my sister's side for comfort. The girl looked pale but determined not to show how afraid she was. Genkai on the other hand looked bored, though I knew her too well by now to know she was probably plotting some way of keeping any more attacks at bay or how to train Lucy harder. Or probably both.
Dinner was forgotten until we had the temple temporarily secured for the night. By the time the food was laid out and the women seated, everyone was too tired or highly strung to talk. That is until an uninvited guest decided to pop in.
"Dammit, Koenma!" I growled, not feeling pleased at all with his phasing into the room, especially after recent events. Fucking show off!
"Even the Dimwit knows to call ahead," Genkai spoke around her tea cup.
The Godling looked flustered that his appearance hadn't been appreciated. He looked downright contrite as he smoothed out the front of his clothes. "Yes, well, I came as soon as my sensors detected the disturbance here."
"The situation has been taken care of," I griped. I kept my eyes closed throughout the conversation because I didn't need to see the brat trying to sweet talk his way out of this new mess.
"Yes, and a fine job you did, Hiei," Koenma replied back sweetly.
I think I'm going to puke, I thought, while growling my typical warning for the brat to hurry up and get the fuck out.
"I actually came here for a different reason. Lucy, your Heat will be reaching its peak in three days time. I'm sorry to say what you are feeling now will only get worse – much worse."
I could hear Lucy's heart thud in its distress at Koenma's insensitive words. He must have sensed just how angry I was becoming, because the bastard gulped nervously and started to stammer.
"As…as…as I was saying," Koenma stuttered, before producing something from his pocket, which he had the gall to throw at me. "I leave making her as comfortable as can be with you, Hiei. Ciao!"
I couldn't believe the nerve of him! No sooner had the ingrate threw the bag at me and bid us goodbye, he disappeared as fast as he appeared some minutes ago. If I didn't have my promise to uphold in keeping Lucy safe, I would have stormed after Koenma back to Spirit World and used him like a piñata.
A look at the females still sat at the table showed me they were both annoyed with the little princeling's act and curious as to what he had given me. I had a feeling I knew what it was, and glancing at Lucy I could see her bright mind figuring it out also. Before anyone can voice a question, Genkai announces it's getting late. While she heads off for bed, Yukina and Lucy swiftly clear away the remainder of dinner and wash up what pots are left.
"Yukina," I address my sister softly before she can guide Lucy to her room. "Go rest up in your own room tonight. I will watch over Lucy."
We lock eyes then, so I can see her familiar red ones silently questioning my decision. I know my sister is not as innocent as she lets everyone around her believe her to be. I've seen the magazines and the TV shows she watches when she thinks no one is around. I've even heard (and wished I hadn't) her moan the buffoons name in her sleep. So I'm not surprised when she looks from my eyes to the bag in my hand to Lucy and back to me again.
I will take care of all her needs, Yukina, I mentally encourage my sister as she hugs and tells Lucy goodnight.
But will you take care of her heart, Hiei? Please, be extremely careful with her.
I'm a little shocked with the reply I receive. I can feel the protectiveness behind her mental words that echo in my head long after my sister has retired to bed. I am also a little hurt that she would even think I would harm Lucy in such a manner. I had heard their little discussion in the bathroom earlier from my perch in the living area. Yukina's assumption that I was fond of the girl was somewhat true, though I wouldn't use fond to describe what I felt for her. I burned for her, and had since the first time I touched her arm to keep her from fainting. When Ami had accused me of not helping them when Kurama watched Lucy get off, I wanted to throttle the idiot. I had stayed in a tree nearby, watching over them in case the fox took his teasing too far. I came very close to crashing into her room when the cocky bastard swiped his finger over her bloody slit and tasted her. It was also the first time I realised that Kurama had been aware of my attraction to Lucy from the get go, and had been flirting and teasing the poor girl in hopes of pushing me into doing something about it.
A small and gentle warm hand resting on my arm brings me out of my deep musings with a pleasurable jolt. I find myself gazing into concerned brown eyes that light up when they see I'm back in the real world.
"Ready for bed, Hiei?" Lucy's asks me innocently.
I answer by placing a hand in the small of her back. I keep wondering if I'm doing the right thing as I follow her to her room. In the short run it would ease the tension from both our bodies, Lucy's mostly. However, if those condoms failed…could I handle the consequences? Contrary to what others think of me, I am not a total heartless bastard. If Lucy did bare my child, I would never leave her. True, I would still return to Demon World from time to time, but I would not leave her to fend for herself.
"So…what did Koenma give you?"
I had to smirk at the question. Even Lucy's curiosity couldn't be held back for long, though I was thankful that she waited till we were alone. Pulling out the brown wrapped package from my pant pocket once we were safely in her room, I hold it out for her perusal. I keep the amused smirk on my face as I watch Lucy carefully open it to reveal palm sized silver squares.
"You asked me earlier if demons could wear those," I finally spoke. My blood heated up again at the sight of her fingering one of the innocent looking squares. "I haven't heard of demons using them, but I would very much enjoy testing that theory. Of course, whether we go through with this is entirely up to you."
I watched Lucy's face, mainly her expressive eyes, as she thought over the decision I had laid before her. I felt further comforted that Lucy didn't rush into this, as I knew her Heat was urging her too. Even now with the night fully upon us and her hormones running amok, Lucy still kept part of herself in check so she could at least think.
"Are…are you doing this…just because Koenma asked you to…or…"
Obviously I felt offended that she would think – never mind voice – the insinuation, but knew as well it was a valid question. I placed my bandaged hand against her cheek then, not because I wanted to further comfort her, but because I suddenly felt the need to touch that soft and lightly tanned skin.
"I already had this idea in mind before he made his unwanted appearance. Rest assured, Lucy, I want you like no other and expect no less from you."
My admission seemed to please her, because Lucy graced me with a genuine smile that made some foreign feeling in my chest throb. It felt similar to whenever I saw Yukina smiling happily, though much stronger and with different feelings attached to it. I didn't dwell on the new emotions – I would come back to them much later.
"So…um…what now?" Lucy whispers as I watched her move from one foot to another.
In her bashful state she looks too tempting. Giving her a reassuring smile, I slide the hand that was still resting on her cheek down her neck and arm till I link our hands. With a gentle tug, I pull her towards me. One arm wraps around her back, the hand kneading the tense muscles there as my other hand cups her face again and guides her into our first kiss. As soon as our lips meet, I can feel the Heat inside her flare. I can even taste it on her tongue as I slip mine into her mouth once she gasps softly in pleasure.
Once Lucy had gotten over the shock of the first kiss I find she is all over me. I can't help but chuckle at her response, but have to slow her down and take control least she rush too much and hurt herself. As we continue to deepen our kiss, I grind my budding erection into her clothed mound, while the hand on her back slips down and palms a buttock. My hand itches to feel her bare flesh, so as I nibble my way to her ear, I use both hands to remove the short night top she was wearing. I fling it behind me once it's out of the way and quickly start to nuzzle and suckle at her bared breasts.
"Hiei!" Lucy cries out above me. The way she says my name makes me look up from feasting on a hard nipple. I growl at the sight of her looking down at me, her hair already tussled while her brown eyes had darkened to black with her rising lust. Her face was flushed as well, the pink tinge covering the tops of her breasts that heaved with each pant for air.
I didn't leave those quivering globes till the nipples were red and hard as rocks. Kissing, nibbling and licking down her stomach, I stopped only to nuzzle the area over her repaired womb before grasping the edge of her frilly underwear and pulling it slowly down with my teeth. The scent of her desire for me hits me like a punch to the face, though this one I'd gladly take again and again. Once the last of her clothing is thrown away, I finally have a chance to glimpse my lover's throbbing sex.
"You smell good enough to eat," I growl, my words laced with my passion as I gently guide Lucy till she's laid prone on her futon. As I spread her legs wide with a hand on each thigh, I had the sudden urge to see Lucy play with herself. When I relay my request to her, I half expect the girl to refuse, but I'm further surprised to find her eagerly agreeing with a wanton moan.
I can't help but lick the juices from her fingers as she uses one hand to hold her glistening lips open while the other teases her clit mercilessly. I find myself rubbing my aching groin against the bedding as I growl my dirty thoughts to Lucy as I watch her flick a nail over the swollen nub. Giving in to the urge to taste more of her, I use my thumbs to hold her lips open as I plunge my hot tongue into her cunt. My tongue is longer than humans, so I can easily reach and stroke her g-spot with it as she plays her clit like a pro.
"HIEI!"
The sudden screaming of my name heralds Lucy's first climax of the night. It came on so quickly that it took me by surprise, though I wasn't complaining as I drank eagerly the juices that literally shot into my mouth. I couldn't wait to feel her cum round my cock, which was feeling suffocated with the black pants I still wore. So while Lucy came down from her big high, I swiftly disposed of all my clothing before kneeling between her spread legs. I had already found the bag of discard condoms and was ripping one open when soft, dainty hands covered mine.
"Let me?" Lucy asked her voice still husky from her orgasm, but oozing with a need that floored me.
I couldn't refuse her simple offer, so relinquished control and let her take the latex rubber from my fingers. I forced my eyes from hers as I felt her place the ring of the condom over my leaky head. The foreign feeling made me look down and watch her nimble fingers pinch the tip with one hand while the other slowly rolled the rest down my throbbing length.
"Oh, fuck!" I gasped out, once my body registered the very snug feel of the condom as it surrounded my cock. The ring at the end was tight, and I worried it for a moment it might keep me from cumming, but the feel of Lucy's fingers fluttering up and down my covered dick made the thought fly away.
"I think…Koenma needs to get you a bigger size…next time," Lucy says with an amused chuckle. I don't chance to enjoy her mirth, because I quickly have her on her back again while my hotter body covers hers.
"Are you ready, Lucy?" I had to ask her, just in case she wanted to bail out, because once I was inside her there was no going back.
"I…I want this," Lucy replied softly as one of her hands found mine and squeezed it. "I want you to take me, Hiei."
With a nod, I kept a firm hold on her hand, which I raised and placed next to her head. I felt her legs widen for my entry as my cock head teased her slippery entrance. My free hand held her face, forcing her to keep her eyes on mine as I finally eased into her tight sheath. I saw the pain and wonder at the feeling of my girth stretching her insides for the first time before the Heat gripped her again. I could feel the increased wetness around my cock, even with the condom covering and strangling it. I could also feel her inner muscles slacken slightly, allowing me easier passage until my cock head bumped her cervix.
"Ohhh…do that again," Lucy coos at me, and I happily oblige her as I pull out and thrust back in again. I groan as her muscles flutter around me in response, while her legs wrap around my back. The change in angle helps my cock sink in deeper, and soon I'm giving her my all. Thoughts of being as gentle as I can go out the window, as the scent of her Heat fogs my mind and fires my blood.
Time seemed to slip away from us. Lucy's body was hot under mine as she writhed and moaned. When she first came around my cock it felt heavenly, so I threw her legs over my shoulders for more penetration as I strove to reach my own release. However, it took me bringing Lucy to orgasm twice more to realise that the tightness of the condom wouldn't allow me to cum. So with a snarl of frustration, I pulled out of her and ripped the offending rubber off my strangled cock. I was too far gone in the Heat and the need to cum to stop myself from thrusting savagely into Lucy's too welcoming body. She wrapped her arms and legs around me this time, holding me tightly inside and out as I took her how my instincts were demanding. When I did finally reach my glorious peak, with Lucy right behind me, I came the longest and hardest I could remember cumming in my life.
It was only when we were resting in a pile of sweaty limbs that I realised what I had done.
Fuck!
