Author's Note:

Greetings everyone!

I'm sorry it takes so long to update! I've got tons of assignments from school and it's really tiring. Gee, I can't wait to graduate. But then I still have to go to college-. Life is full of studying.

Anyway, thank you very much for the reviews, favourites and follows! As I've said before, I love you guys so much! This chapter takes time but I'll try my best so the next one comes out faster, so please keep reviewing, favouriting and following!

The beginning of this chapter is full of suggestive lime, if you're offended please feel free to scroll through it or just read the dialogues. Although I think it should be fine considering this story is rated M so of course all my readers are adults... or not? Because the author herself is only sixteen, hehe... I guess I'm a pervert-.-

Well, I hope you enjoy the chapter that I poured my heart writing!

A Key to His Heart

Chapter 13: Shopping Trip

Spring passed and summer came. Every day was spent with usual routines. Kyoko couldn't help but think how peaceful it was. She wanted to go back home with her parents, although she did enjoy the days in the temple, she missed them. It hadn't been too long since she just came home and she hadn't spent enough time she with them to make up for lost time.

Her relationship with Hiei was the same as usual, albeit now it was filled with nights full of heated kissed and wandering hands. It felt like he couldn't get enough of her, hands always looking for some kind of contact. Fortunately this only occurred in bed, never out of. If people were to see, they'd get suspicious and awkward.

They never did more than kissing and touching, though. She still wouldn't let him. He would sometimes ask her about it but she would distract him with a simple kiss and a grind to his hips. It's not like she didn't want to see what's under his pants but she just… well, this might sound evil but she loved his frustrated face. Especially when his advances were denied and he had to take a cold shower before bed, or sometimes, use his own hand.

Just like now. She could feel his very prominent bulge poking against the inside of her thigh, heat radiating from every inches of his skin. He was straddling her, his hands on each side of her head on her plush pillow. Their lips engaged in a sexy, lazy kiss.

Her pleated skirt had been risen up so high; she might as well remove them. Hiei seemed to have developed quite the fetish with her legs as every sexual moment was spent with his hands caressing and kneading them. Her top was also up, leaving her stomach bare when Hiei had fixed his hand up her front.

When she felt his index finger hooking around the thin strap of her panties on her left hip, she smacked his hand away. He growled into her mouth and she replied with a soft lick to the roof of his mouth. He broke the kiss and glared at her, his eyes dark with lust and desire.

"When?"

She chuckled, running her fingers through his soft hair, "when I think it's time, of course." She rolled them over so she was on top, smoothing her camisole down to cover her stomach, "it's just so adorable, seeing you all frustrated and riled up. Fufu…"

"Don't laugh." He hissed, resting an arm over his eyes. She had to give it to him, Hiei was a very, very attentive guy. Even though she teased him mercilessly, he still made sure she felt pleased. And even though he was frustrated, he never forced himself on her. When she said stop, he stopped. Sweet guy, he really was.

"Blue balls," she tapped her lower lip and chuckled when he lifted his arm to glare at her, "isn't that what people call it nowadays?

"Onna," he warned. Another empty threat. He gave threat often but never once he acted upon it. He was a rough gentleman and she loved it.

And for such a good boy, maybe a reward was in order. Giggling to herself, she placed a hand on his chest and leaned down to press her lips to his in another passionate kiss. He instantly responded and placed his hand on the small of her back, inside her camisole and caressed her skin.

Her hand, which was on his chest, playfully trailed down to his bare abs, tracing his perfect abs and dipping her finger teasingly in his navel. He gave a groan. It hadn't taken time for her to figure out that that's his very weak, very sexual spot. Other than what lay below, of course.

She knew he was too focused on the kissing and fingering the shape of her back to notice her fiddling with his loose pants. In one swift motion, she slipped her hand in and grasped him in her hand. It was her luck that Hiei always went commando.

This was the first time she had ever touched him in his most private region. He was by no means a disappointment. He was long, thick, hot and hard. All completely for her.

Hiei broke the kiss in surprise and his widened eyes stared right back to her smiling ones. "Since you've been such a good boy, you get this." She said as her hand began stroking, squeezing and teasingly fondling.

The silent room was now filled with the sound of hissing and growling, courtesy of Hiei. She was surprised when he grew in her hand and when he suddenly sat up, grabbing her hair and pulling her head back so her neck was bared. Another fetish of his - her neck and shoulders. His tongue was twirling around her skin furiously, sucking and biting. She moaned.

His other hand moved from her back to her front, going up against the fitted camisole to her bra-covered breast and he massaged it, pinching where her puckered nipple was. God, him and his hand.

It seemed like all the stimulation was too much for even a Hiei to take. He came in her hand, covering it with his hot, sticky sperm. She slipped her hand out and brought it to her face to examine. "There're a lot." She mumbled to herself, licking her index finger. Hiei groaned at the sight of her tasting him, feeling gratified and satisfied.

"Come here." He ordered, stopping her from licking her hand clean and rolled them so they lay side by side again. He removed his wet pants and threw it away, not before using it to wipe her hand clean. He was aware of her eyes on his still hard member but chose to ignore it.

"You are insatiable," she smirked, touching the tip of his penis. He grunted and pulled the comforter up to their waists. It wasn't the first night he had spent in her room; he had slept over a few times. She didn't seem to mind. "Let me change first, okay?"

Kyoko clambered over his form and went to her wardrobe. She took out one of her long night-gowns, this time picking a loose baby blue satin one with thin straps. He watched her change, eyes caressing every inch of skin she slowly uncovered. When her gown was in place, she removed her strapless bra and let the dark green cloth fell on top of her other clothes. She folded them and placed them on a chair before going back to him.

"You always sleep naked. Aren't you cold?" Kyoko settle under the comforter, tucking her arms in front of her chest. His eyes flickered to her cleavage for a moment before going back to her face.

"I'm a fire apparition. The cold doesn't bother me." Rolling to his back, Hiei folded his arms behind his head and stared up at the ceiling. "And it's summer. It's hot."

"I see. Then it must be hotter for you, considering you're fire." Kyoko commented, cuddling to his side and throwing a leg over his, causing the satin to rub against his leg. He had figured out from the first night he slept with her that she loved to cuddle. He let her but never cuddled back.

"Hn."

She chuckled and gave his side a soft, lingering kiss. "By the way Hiei, do you know about the plan?"

He opened an eye, "what plan?"

"So Yusuke didn't tell you. Really, that boy," she sighed, nuzzling him, "well, all of us plan to go to the beach next week. It's summer after all and Kurama said he can get a week off. Keiko and Kazuma have no problem too, apparently they get a two weeks holiday."

Hiei frowned. He wasn't in the least interested in going to a beach. That was, after all, not his most favourite place to be. The smell of salt wasn't the most pleasant thing for his nose and the sun was always so hot. He preferred to be surrounded by trees instead of sand and sea. And he hated water too.

"You're coming, right? You have to," she moved closer to his ear, "after all I'll be wearing a swimsuit and there're many men there. Who will watch over this little vulnerable me then?" his blood boil at the thought of other men seeing lots of her skin, "the others will be too busy taking care of their own mates. But what about me?"

He gulped inwardly at the puppy-eyes. "Don't give me that look, Stupid Onna."

"Does that mean you'll go?"

"Don't twist my words."

The puppy-eyes came back full force, "but it'll be no fun without you. And think about it Hiei, there are lotsssssssss," she drawled out the lots, "of 'activities' we can do in beach and no one will get suspicious. For instance, you can help me put on sunscreen," she said in the best bedroom voice she could make, her finger drawing random patterns on his chest.

His still hard member gave an appreciative twitch at the thought.

"If you aren't there then I have to ask an unknown man in your place. We both don't want that, do we?"

She was too masterful at the art of persuasion. Reluctantly, Hiei sighed and gave in. He already knew he wouldn't win from her. When Kyoko wanted something, she would get it. Although it was rare for her to want anything, because she always said she had everything she could ever wish for, there're a few rare moments when she did want something.

Like a new swimsuit.

And new sunglasses. Also new sundresses and sandals.

That's how Hiei found himself the next day, dragged by Kyoko and the others to go shopping in town. This morning, he had woken up to a pleasant surprise of Kyoko giving him another handjob. Her hand was far too skilled, he lost his mind for a second and she took the chance, making him agree to accompany her shopping absentmindedly.

Yusuke and Kurama looked like they didn't want to be around the giggling females right then. The only male who didn't look horrified to be dragged around on females' shopping trip was Kuwabara. He was happily carrying Yukina's and the women's bags, joining in their conversation. They thought he was gay, the females' thought Kuwabara was just sweet and attentive.

"Well, this is where we part ways." Keiko announced, taking her bag from Kuwabara and thanking him. The other females' copied her move.

"Remember, no talking to strangers, no going out of the mall, stick together-" Yusuke ranted to the females, who rolled their eyes. There were rules made when they agreed to let the females went shopping. And of course, most important was that they also came, although they parted ways, and they got contacts from them from time to time.

"It's okay Yusuke, we'll do as the rules applied." Kyoko calmed him down. She knew he was actually worried about them. "and we've got pepper spray in our bags if that helps."

Yusuke was about to speak but Kuwabara stopped him, "Can it Urameshi. They'll be fine," he cut in, "my sis is there along with Botan. If anything happen, they'll contact us first. And my 'Kina can frost them to death!" he gushed in awe. Yukina blushed modestly.

"My skill isn't that great."

"Nonsense!"

And the flirting began all over again. It took Shizuru and a whole lot of kicking to get him to stop. With one more look-overs from the males and safety measures, the women left to shop, laughing and chatting over girlish stuff they didn't understand.

They had been gone for only a few minutes but it felt like centuries on the males, the demon ones, parts.

"You look awesome!" Botan squealed, looking over a shy looking Yukina in a one-piece pink swimsuit with frilly skirt and criss-crossed back. The ice maiden looked so nervous to show so much skin and was hugging herself shyly.

Kyoko chuckled, "Yukina, you look adorable. Kazuma will be losing so much blood when he sees."

Yukina's blush darkened.

The curtain to the fitting room beside hers opened and Keiko stepped out, clad in a one-piece strapless red swimsuit with yellow hibiscuses all over. Shizuru took a yellow-framed sunglasses from a rack and used it to keep Keiko's bangs out of her face.

"Keiko, you look wow!" Botan clapped her hands. Keiko grinned, a bit more confident that Yukina had been, although there was indeed a blush on her cheeks.

"Simple yet sexy," Kyoko tilted her head to the side, "it suits you, Keiko."

Keiko beamed up at them. The two changed back to their clothes while Botan, Kyoko and Shizuru tried their swimsuits on. When Yukina and Keiko were done, they waited outside the fitting rooms to see their best friends with their choices of swimwears.

The first one to open was Botan's. The reaper stepped out and twirled around, causing her blue ponytail to swish. She chose a two-piece bold swimsuit with rainbow-coloured print. The top was held by the tied string on the back of her neck and the other one in between her breasts.

"God Botan, isn't that a tad bit too…" Keiko was in lost for words for once. Yukina was blushing all-out now.

Botan wagged her finger and made 'tsk'ing sounds. "Keiko, Keiko, Keiko… how naïve can you get?" she pumped her fists, "if we're talking about swimsuits then that means… BIKINI!"

"What's with all the fuss?"

"You shouldn't be so loud. You'll disturb the other customers."

They both turned to look at the now open fitting rooms. Their eyes almost fell out from their sockets.

Shizuru wore a push-up navy blue bikini top which was tied only between her breasts and a cheeky bikini bottom. The bikinis accentuated her womanly curves well, especially how the triangle top showed her cleavage and how the double strings bottom showed her long, slim legs.

Kyoko chose one similar to Shizuru but it's a black V-wire bandeau along with a very sexy strappy Brazilian bottom. Her pale skin contracted against the black making it glow. Her hair was thrown over one shoulder, showing her neck, shoulder and a very seductive collarbone along with cleavage. The strappy Brazilian bottom settled very low on her hips, accenting her flat stomach and her long, model's legs.

"Is something wrong?" Kyoko asked, her right hand holding to her left elbow, "you look shocked."

"W-wow…" was all Botan could manage out. Yukina was trying to look elsewhere but at them but she felt like she was being rude. But she couldn't stare at such… such sinful swimwears. They were practically naked!

Keiko cleared her throat, her cheeks blossoming. "A-are those the ones you chose?"

"Well," Shizuru fiddled with the strap of her top and shrugged, "it's cool. And it's my size."

"Me too," Kyoko agreed, beaming, "I think this one suits me."

"O-okay."

They went to pay, after grabbing a few more accessories to go with their chosen swimwears. After paying they went to another boutique and buy some dresses and clothes. Then they bought some shoes, bags, jewelleries… every things women needed.

"Whew!" Botan wiped an imaginary sweat off of her forehead, "I'm spent!"

Keiko agreed, looking at all the bags they carried, "Wow, we shopped a lot."

"We can't help it. It's sale everywhere." Shizuru shrugged. Shrugging was probably the psychic's favourite past-time.

"And it's normal for women to buy lots of things. We need this to live and protect ourselves." Commented Kyoko with a charming smile, "for instance, these heels here can be used as a torture device if needed to be," Kyoko pointed at the bag of the strappy stilettos she had fallen in love with at the very first sight.

Yukina giggled cutely, "Torture device… you have been around Hiei-san too much."

Kyoko chuckled but didn't deny. It was indeed the truth. She spent lots of time with Hiei on daily basis and it didn't look like it's going to end soon. That was a relief because she enjoyed his silent company very much, in and out of bed.

When she looked up, she caught the eyes of Shizuru. The older woman was giving her knowing looks and Kyoko gave her a sly secretive smile, holding her finger to her lips in a hushing way. Leave it to Shizuru to feel sexual tension. She was, after all, the most experienced woman in the pack.

They ate lunch while chatting away happily. Kyoko checked her phone and a smile broke onto her face when she saw a message from Hiei, sent from Kurama's phone because he didn't own one, asking about her whereabouts.

I'm having lunch with the others. Tell the others they don't have to worry. You also. It's been great and peaceful thus far. When we're done shopping, we'll meet you at the entrance. Don't forget to eat lunch and don't be shy to say when you want to use the toilet, okay?

Lots of love.

Kyoko typed and clicked the send button, smiling to herself when she imagined Hiei's reaction. He would be angry that she treated him like a child but she knew deep down he was happy because he rarely had people taking care and spoiling him. She didn't know his past but she knew when people needed hugs.

She wasn't a psychologist but even she could see the loneliness in Hiei's hard eyes. They were always so guarded, so jaded, so clouded, so stern… yet even in the midst of it all, there was those sparks of loneliness and want that were almost impossible for someone to see without looking deeply. Seeing him like that made her longed for hugging him.

After lunch, they went straight back to shopping. Dresses, tops, jeans, skirts… out from all of them, Botan was probably the one spending the most money. She squealed at every single clothes and tried them on, buying them later on. But that would be no problem to her as her salary as a reaper was ten times bigger than the whole income Yukimura diner got; probably because her work was not easy. Sometimes, she had to travel all over the world just to reap one wandering soul.

"I need new underwear." Shizuru suddenly announced, didn't look too much embarrassed after she declared her need of underwear. After some talking and planning, they made their way into Victoria's Secret which was, helpfully, on the same floor.

Shizuru, Botan and Yukina went to look for undies while Kyoko and Keiko browsed through the nightwear. Keiko was checking out pajamas and asking Kyoko for opinion. "I want something floral. But I've got too many of them." She frowned.

Kyoko examined the floral pattern of the pajamas Keiko held. She raised an eyebrow, "well, Keiko, why don't you change your image a little then?"

The brunette blinked. "Huh?"

Turning around, Kyoko looked around for a moment before she finally took something out of a rack and held it to Keiko, who sputtered in shock at the sheer piece of babydoll. "A-a babydoll?!"

"A babydoll." She affirmed with a nod, placing it in front of Keiko and gave her a once-over, "it suits you. What do you think, hm?"

Impersonating a tomato, Keiko took the babydoll shyly and analysed. To be fair, she hadn't really done anything special for Yusuke even though he's been going all out to ensure her safety these few months. Maybe she should get this and…

Kyoko chuckled at the glint in her little sister's eyes as she stared at the babydoll. It would suit Keiko's small yet curvaceous form pretty well.

Going to examine something for herself, Kyoko found something which took her interest. It was a rack full of cami-sets and teddies. She had been wearing night-gowns almost all her life so this might be a nice change for her. Besides, it was summer and they're going to a beach, somehow long night-gowns sounded lame.

She took a white satin lacy one, a very sexy black lacy one, a silk red one and a pink one with black lacy hem. Laces were seductive and sexy. Looking for more, Kyoko smirked when she found one that she knew her present lover would love.

It was a silky satin piece trimmed in delicate laces with a flyaway back and matching flirty shorts. It had triangle lacy cups for breasts and soft black laces at the sides. It was white with black cheetah prints and she just knew from how wild and sexy it looked that Hiei would dig it.

Giggling to herself at how his reaction would be when he saw, she told Keiko that she was trying things on before going into the fitting room. She knew her size so fitting was easy and quick. Staring at her reflection at the full-length mirror, Kyoko examined how the sexy cami-set seemed to compliment her very well. It was a good thing she found it.

Keiko decided to buy the babydoll, along with three other pieces of said clothing. Shizuru had bought all her needed underwear, along with Botan who found some cute bras and Yukina who found a robe and kimono for her to wear over her nightwear.

After paying, they checked the time and decided that they had bought enough things. Kyoko called Yusuke and told them they were done and to meet them at the entrance. Somehow, Yusuke sounded tired.

When they met up, the women were all looking surprised at how tired their men looked; especially Yusuke and Kuwabara. "What happened? Was it an attack?" Botan asked anxiously.

Her mate shook his head no, running his long fingers through his long red hair, "we were playing air hockey."

"Air hockey?" Botan echoed in a shocked manner, incredulous, "all of you got this tired 'cause of air hockey?!"

Shaking her head, Kyoko commented, "They must be overwhelmed by their men's ego and had a competition." She sighed. Men and their pride.

"Who won?" Yukina asked innocently.

Shizuru shrugged, "Kazu must have lost." She said, causing Kuwabara's shoulders to shag. Yukina giggled and patted his arm comfortingly.

"Amazingly, Hiei." Kurama muttered in slight annoyance, as if he couldn't believe he just lost in air hockey, "he has his speed to the advantage."

Hiei smirked. Yusuke scowled. "He cheated! He used his Jagan to control things."

"I did not." Hiei growled. He wasn't the type to cheat. He might use to but not now. He might be ruthless and sly but he had got his own honour code.

"Well, congratulations on winning the air hockey competition." Kyoko ruffled his hair and smiled warmly up at him. He grunted and took some of the bags from her, already used to taking her shopping bags from the time he had accompanied her when she went to buy groceries.

Yusuke whistled,"Hiei's being chivalrous. The world's coming to an end."

"Maybe my gentlemanly ways have rubbed off on him." Kuwabara grinned as he puffed out his chest proudly.

"Don't dream too high, Oaf. It'll be painful when you fall," glared Hiei, irritated that he could come to a conclusion that he was a gentleman. He was none of such!

"Or maybe he learned it from Kurama," Botan suggested. Beside her, Kurama walked carrying her bags with little to now trouble. Hiei's face scrunched up in disgust when Botan hugged the fox's arm and snuggled to his side with a cat face, Kurama smiling sweetly at her. He hated when they're being fluffy.

He would listen to Yusuke and Keiko's loud arguments soon rather than watching them go at it.

"But I hope I was there to watch. It'll be fun watching you play," Kyoko said with a secret flirtatious glimmer in her chocolate eyes as they flickered to him. He grunted, "And maybe you can teach me how to be so good at it. And maybe then I could beat you."

"You have no stamina, Onna. You can't win from me." He smirked at her, his eyes darkening slightly.

"Gods, if I didn't know better, I'll say you two are flirting." Yusuke gagged.

A mischievous glint went to the fox's eyes and he gave Hiei a look. Hiei glared at him.

Shizuru gave Kyoko a slight nudge and Kyoko giggled at her. They gave each other knowing smirks.

Fortunately, these exchanges went unnoticed by the other members of the pack.

To Be Continued...

So, this chapter's just kind of a filler. The next one, they're going on a vacation to the beach! Beach means swimsuits (who wants to see hottie hot hot Hiei in swimsuit and being WET?!), sea, volleyball, watermelons, sunscreen and FLUFF! I can't wait to write the next chapter!
