Where is my happy ending?
I want to give a really great big thanks to my wonderful reviewers, Adalleria and Marikalay. You are the greatest. Oh and I realised I did not do any disclaimers. Yu Yu Hakusho is not mine nor its characters.
Chapter 10,
Good night, Hiei. I love you from now to the ends of the earth."
"Same here fox, sweet dreams." He replied as he pulled the cover over them and Kurama got comfortable in his embrace as he fell asleep. Hiei looked down onto Kurama's face, thinking about the day they've had and how Mukuro has limited they time together.
It was hard for Hiei to fall asleep that night, because he didn't know how to approach the topic with Kurama. The day was so great, from beginning, well after he was told he only have a few days left in Ningenkai.
Flashback-------
He bolted up from the bed when he heard something. It came from his pants pocket. Taking out the compact inter-world communicator, he saw it was none other than Mukuro, he flipped it open.
"At least you could have called at a reasonable time, woman."
"How many times have I told you about that mouth of yours?"
"What the hell are you bothering me for, woman?" He stressed, out of mostly annoyance. He was not a child.
"It is time to come back, that's why I called early, so you can say your goodbyes."
"I am not leaving today."
"You have duties to fulfil here, Hiei."
"I have important duties to fulfil here as well. Damn it woman, I've stayed away for years and I came back here for a few weeks and you're calling me back already. What is so important that you can't do it on your own?"
"There are some things that has to happen, and I suggest to do as I say."
Hell no, what's wrong, the almighty Mukuro can't handle her duties that she needs one of Makai's traitor to help her?" He asked as his anger were full blown
"I said what that mouth of yours. I know you took the sides of humans once before but I didn't think you would have done it again. It's that fox, isn't it?"
"Mind you own business."
"I am that's why I'm calling you. " She sighed and looked at his background. "Hiei where are you? It doesn't look like the temple."
"Mind your own damn business."
"Oh.... you with Kurama now, aren't you?"
"Damn it woman, look around, do you see him her?" He spin the communicator around the room.
"Alright then, Hiei, I understand you need to woo the fox, so I'm giving you by the end of this week to come back, I need you here, Hiei, and that's it." With that, she disconnected herself.
"Damn that woman." He slammed the communicator closed.
-----------End of Flashback-----
He looked at the sweet face of Kurama and caressed his cheeks. "How can I leave you now, fox. We don't deserve this now." He whispered.
Sighing, he gave Kurama a chaste kiss and forced himself to sleep.
"Wake up, Kurama." Came a soft purr in the fox's ear.
"mmmm..." He moaned out. "Hey..."
"Hi, it's time to wake up. I made breakfast."
Now Kurama was fully awake. "You did?" He asked shocked and amused. 'Darn, I missed my chance to see him in an apron.' He thought.
"Hn." He smiled and the look on Kurama's face. "Are you coming or do I have to carry you down stairs."
"Hmm.... I don't know. My feet are kind of tired." Kurama joked, but gracefully slid out of bed and followed his handsome prince.
"Wow." Came the first words out of Kurama's mouth when he saw the food. "I did not know you could have cooked, well I just never thought of it. This looks good." He said looking at tamagoyaki, then at the fish and the okayu.
"What did you think I use to eat?" He looked at the fox.
"Never thought of it, but this, this is a really good surprise. And here mother was afraid I was going to fatten you, but it seems you will be doing that to me."
"Hm.... not necessarily." He said walking up toward the fox. "There are some exercises we can do together to prevent that from happening." He seductively suggested, and laughed when Kurama became flushed, with eyes open and mouth agape.
"Uhhh....um.... Hiei, you're so perverted."
"What?" He asked innocently. "I was merely suggesting that we can spar as we use to. We usually work up a good sweat."
"Oh..."Kurama turned red, as he noticed he was the perverted one.
"But I like your thought better, fox." He laughed.
During breakfast, Kurama was surprised at how good everything tasted. He knew he could cook and his food tasted good, but Hiei's food was ambrosia. Hiei was thinking how to tell Kurama and when was a good time. He wanted to do it now, but Kurama looked so happy eating, but then again, he didn't think he'll ever see his down again, well he will when he find out that Hiei has to leave.
'But he knew this day would come.' He tried to reason with himself. 'But not this soon. I will have to tell him now. I want to tell him first before Shiori finds out.'
"Kurama." He called in a serious tone.
Looking up from his food, Kurama was alarmed at how serious Hiei looked. "Hiei?"
"Fox, um...."
"Hiei, whatever it is, you can tell me."
"Are you sure?" He asked bitterly.
"What's wrong Hiei? Please tell me."
"Yesterday morning, Mukuro summoned me."
"What? Hiei, so soon... but we just.... we....." he could find the words.
"I know fox. She wanted me to be there last night, but I told her no. Eventually, she said I have this week only."
"Hiei!." Hiei hated seeing his fox so sad.
"Fox, I did my best buying time. That damn woman just knows how to tick me off."
"Was that why you were sparring?"
He nodded. "Kurama, I don't want this to affect our time together, even though it is just this week."
"I know Hiei, but it is just not right. Does she know about us?"
"To be honest with you, she assumed that years ago. That's why she didn't want me to visit. She knew if I did, I would not want to leave you."
"Oh that's what you meant when you said she felt threatened by me."
He nodded. "She doesn't mind you, it is just that, she feels I cannot live in both worlds and fulfil my duties to her. I gave her happiness by allowing her to let go of the past and move on, so she will not deny me my happiness, but she is being annoying and unreasonable. What bothers me is that she was a lord long before I came about, so why there is a dire need to have me there."
"It is better, and more efficient, also because she is getting tired, and is making sure you're the right person to pass it unto. "
"Hn, I will give that up to be with you, now that I have you, and not just in my dreams ."
Kurama was touched. "I will not tell you to give that up because you've always desired that, and compromise is part of relationships, so maybe it is time I do some compromising. I'll visit you in Makai when you go back fully, like what you were doing after the tournament, but for longer periods."
"Fox, you don't have to. What about Shiori?"
"She will understand, once it is 'her Hiei'. "Kurama said in a voice that mimics his mother causing Hiei to laugh. "Hiei she really likes you and now that there is no secret between us, she would encourage me to go get my 'dark prince.'" He said smiling at Hiei. He stretched out his hands across the table to hold Hiei's. "We will be fine Hiei." Soon after, the phone rang and Hiei went to answer it as Kurama cleaned up. It was only fair since Hiei cooked.
"Moshi-moshi"
"Hiei sweetheart? How is my handsome boy today?"
"Alive and well. How are you today?"
"I am great. I can't wait for our picnic, is Shuichi available?"
"Hold on. Fox, Shiori."
Wiping his hands, he took to phone from Hiei, "Good morning, mother."
"Hello dear. I just called to tell you guys I may be running a little late, because I had a problem with the stove and since Kazuya is not home, it took me a while to fix it."
"Mother, you should have called us, and you didn't have to do all the cooking."
"Nonsense, I wanted to cook for my boys, it was my pleasure."
"Alright mother, it doesn't make sense trying to change your mind."
"Thanks dear, well I shall see you both too, and give my other son a kiss for me alright."
"uh.... alright, mother, bye." He was a bit speechless. 'Other son.'
"See you later dear, bye."
He hung up and went to Hiei and kissed him on the cheek. "That was from mother to you her 'other son.'"
"What? She said that?" He was surprised, but liked it. He has a mother now, with his fox. Then he pouted playfully.
"Is something the matter?"
"Where is mine from you?"
"Oh, are you sure you can handle my kiss?" He asked playfully.
"Give it to me and let's see."
"Come and take it if you want it so badly."
"Gladly." He said and swooped in to claim the fox's lips in an intoxicating kiss which became heated. Hiei grabbed onto the fox's waist and backed him up against the counter. Kurama curled his hands around Hiei's neck deepening the kiss. Hiei lifted Kurama on to the counter causing Kurama to draw him closer by encircling his legs around Hiei's waist pulling him towards him for full contact.
"Mmmm..."
"Hiei," Kurama called pulling away. "As much as I would love to continue, we have to get ready to meet mother.
"You just know how to spoil the mood, fox." He teased.
Kurama smiled but then something finally occurred in his mind.
"Hiei. If Mukuro didn't want you to visit before, then why did she allow you to visit now?"
"She didn't tell me, but her messenger did. Apparently, she sent him to watch you through the years to see when it was "safe" to send me on leave."
"Safe?" 'What she thought would happen.'
"Yes. She wanted you to be dating or have someone. When she heard that you were going on dates and finally chose one, she thought I can have my overdue leave."
"Oh well, I have to thank tousan then, something good came out of all that dating. Alright now I am going to take a shower."
--------------Picnic time--------------
Hiei and Kurama arrived on the beach a bit earlier to get a good spot. The thing about that day was that most people were at work or school, so the beach was almost deserted. The finally came upon a small area with the most privacy on the beach and quite a few shade. Even though Shiori said it was no need to bring anything, Kurama brought two bottles of wine. Spreading the blanket on the sad, the new couple settled in and waited for their mother to arrive. They just sat and watched the waves break at the shore. Knowing that Shiori can come anything, prevented them from touching other that holding hands or leaning on each other.
Walking towards the beach, Shiori saw the couple and tried to sneak up on them.
"Hello mother."
"Eh.. Shuichi, how did you know I was here already?"
"We felt you."
"That is not fair. Hello Hiei." She turned to Hiei and hugged him.
"Mother, I'm beginning to think you like Hiei more than me." He pouted at his mother and pretended to be mad at Hiei.
"Nonsense dear, I love my both boys the same. Hiei I hope you know I consider you my son."
"Huh.. but Kurama and I are....uh..not..." Oh speechless Hiei.
"You don't have to be. I just would love to have you as such. I love enough for you to be and since you and Shuichi is exclusive now, it just seems right. Don't you think?" She winked at them.
"Alright, mother, let me help you unpack." Kurama said taking the bag from her.
"Thanks, dear. Oh where is my book?" She turned looking for it and saw that she dropped it a few paces back. "Continue while I go get my book dear." With that she left.
"Fox, I need to tell her as well."
That sadden Kurama's mood. "You know I actually forgot about that."
"That's good, because I want you to let go with me today."
"I will do my best." He said and was rewarded with a kiss.
"Awe isn't that sweet."
They pulled away. "Don't mind me."
Hiei smiled but Kurama had a sad look on his face.
"Dear, why are you sad? Today is not going to be a sad day."
"It's nothing, mother." But the look Hiei gave her made her suspicious.
"No, something is wrong, and one of you is going to tell me now." She said in an authoritative tone.
Kurama was going to start but Hiei hushed him. It would be best to hear it from him. "I have to go back by the end of the week. Mukuro called yesterday."
Suddenly Shiori looked at her son, then at Hiei with a sadden look. "So soon? When will you be back?"
He shrugged, "I don't know."
"Well then, it does not make sense moping around today, let's have fun."
The rest of the picnic they talked about Makai, Ningenkai, they possible future and Mukuro.
"So that's why she kept you there so long, how selfish of her." Shiori voiced out.
"You can say that again." Kurama commented.
Well then, why don't you two take a stroll or something? Don't worry about me, that's why I brought the book. The sun is going to set soon, and it is very romantic and it makes magic happen." She giggled out the last part.
"Alright mother, if anything, call us, we will stay close by."
"Yes dear, now go."
As they walked away, Kurama snaked his hands around Hiei's waist and Hiei put his arm around the fox's shoulder. "There is something wrong with your mother, fox."
"That's what makes her my mother." He laughed.
"I think she set us up."
"Hm, you really think so?" Hiei nodded. "Are you complaining?"
"Hell no."
"Good, neither am I. She has been very understanding and I can't ask for more."
" I can."
"Hm....what more do you want Hiei." It came in a purr.
"I don't need to answer that." He said as he kissed the fox's cheeks.
"I wonder how the water feels."
"Go in and find out"
Kurama stepped in and allow a wave to crash on him. "Wow, cold."
"What do you expect?" Hiei followed him and began heating up just that small area they were in. "Better?"
"Much. I knew you were hot." He laughed.
"Well cool me down."
With that, Kurama took some water with his hands and splashed it on Hiei. Hiei who wasn't expecting that kind of cool down, looked shocked, but his expression soon changed into mischief.
"Run fox."
"Ahhh"
Kurama began to run when Hiei started chasing him with a large amount of water. Bam, he dumps it on the fox, but he wasn't too wet, so he did the next best thing. He pushed him.
"Ah Hiei, that wasn't fair."
"All is fair in love and war."
"You little..."
"Are you sure I'm little?"
Kurama redden and jumped on Hiei causing both of them to tumble into the icy water. They began to laugh when they realise the look like drowned rats.
When Shiori saw her boys, all she could have done was to laugh.
"Are you two alright?"
"Yes. Hiei can you dry us now? Please." He asked with playful pleading eyes.
Hiei pulled the fox straight at him and hold him very close, with their faces merely inches away. Shiori was watching it as if it was a romantic movie. Hiei looked at his fox in the eye as he increased his energy to dry them off.
"Thank you." Came the grateful whisper.
They then sat down to watch the sunset.
"I've seen this many times, but this one seems different." Hiei stated.
Shiori truly felt touched, "The company makes a big difference, dear." She whispered to them.
"I believe so." He said as he pulled Kurama closer to him. In return, Kurama rested his head on Hiei's shoulder and intertwining their fingers together.
"I love you Hiei." He said as the sun disappeared in the horizon.
"Same here, fox," he replied and kissed his fox, for a minute forgetting the world existed, well until Shiori giggled.
"Well, I think it's time that we pack up. Don't you think boys."
"I would love to sleep out in the open air one day." Kuram said getting up and folding the blankets.
"That can be arranged." Said Hiei.
"I think you're spoiling me Hiei, oh mother, Hiei made me breakfast this morning."
Hiei looked as if he was going to die of embarrassment.
"Oh really, that's great and so romantic."
"Yes he is the Mr Romantic, but don't tell anyone. It would ruin his reputation." They laughed.
"Ah, what a day." Kurama said flopping on the bed. "Do you want to take a shower now or should I?"
"Why not one together?" He joked, knowing that they both is not quite ready for anything more that what was happening.
"Hmm....sounds tempting."
"Fox I'll go first, rest still."
Kurama stayed on the bed and heard when Hiei turned on the water. He could have easily distinguish when the water start to fall on a sexy body than on stone. The thought of Hiei under running water butt naked is enough to wake up the dead.
"Calm down Kurama, calm down." Kurama told himself as he took deep breaths. That did not help especially seeing that Hiei chose to emerge from the bathroom, wet, with droplets of water still flowing down from his body with just a towel around his waist. "WOW." ' I am not ready to get physical but my body sure is.' Kurama was speechless and kept staring at every delicious inch of that divine being smirking in front of him.
"Go fox, I need a little privacy." He laughed. He loved the look on Kurama's face when he stepped out. He wasn't expecting a reaction like that but he was very pleased.
When Kurama was in the shower, Hiei had the same problem with his imagination. Luckily when Kurama came out, he was wearing a robe, to Hiei's dismay.
He joined Hiei on the bed and curled up next to him.
"We didn't do anything today, so why do I feel so tired."
"It was the sea water, fox, now go to sleep. I will be here tomorrow." He hushed Kurama from saying any more with a kiss. He just love kissing his fox. The kiss started to become more heated especially after hearing each other in the shower. Hiei rolled on top the fox and Kurama raise up one leg to Hiei's waist to increase contact. Hiei started to create friction by loosely moving his hips causing Kurama to moan out his pleasure. Kurama began to move against Hiei as well and he tried to pull Hiei closer. Kurama pulled away, then flipped them over and straddled Hiei's hips and looked down at Hiei. He smiled and went for Hiei's neck. Hiei's hands caressed the fox's back, then slide down to his bottom, each hands resting on each hand. Kurama began to move on top of him and made a loud moan when he felt that Hiei has been greatly affected by his ministrations. Kurama looked at Hiei, and Hiei looked up at him, then reached out to caress those flushed cheeks of the fox.
"We could stop if you want to."
"I... it's not that I don't want to, I do, but I am not fully ready yet. I am still getting use to actually having you here."
"I know fox, and I will always be here." He said as Kurama settled next to him. Hiei draw him closer and kissed his temple.
"Good night my sexy fox."
He heard a small laugh. "Goodnight, my sexy dark prince.
