"Stop this nonsense." The abrupt masculine tone froze the combatants in place. Warily, they turned to face the interloper. A tall native man smirked at them, dark eyes twinkling with - lust? amusement? He wore only a loincloth, confident as he stood with his feet slightly apart. With the warm brown of his native coloring and his good looks, he looked the part of a god.
Pele's eyes narrowed, her face contorting with rage, but not before Kurama caught a flicker of something - fear? - cross her features. But why would Pele have cause to fear this godling? He was a demi-god; she was a goddess. The kitsune heard an indefinable emotion in the goddess's voice as she identified the man, confirming his suspicions. "Kamapua'a."
The pig god grinned rakishly. "Really Pele, if you were *that* desperate," he flicked his gaze over the paralyzed Hiei before resuming his steady regard of the woman before him, "you could have just come to me." He threw her a leering look.
Pele snarled, incoherent with rage. "You! Who nearly killed me with your animalistic ruttings? Why should I ever ask YOU for anything?!"
Kamapua'a lost his smile, taking a step in Pele's direction. "We both know that you enjoyed it, Pele. You're a proud female, but deep down, you enjoyed the fact that I dominated you in the end. Reveled in it, even." The pig god took another step closer.
"That's a lie!" Pele hissed, so enraged that she took no notice of Kurama stealthily moving past her to inch toward his immobilized lover, nor the fact that her ex-lover was closing in.
"Damn you, you - you *pig*! Only interested in one thing, could never stay your roving eye, and you expect to just walk ba-" Pele's ranting was cut off by Kamapua'a's skilled kiss.
Even the ire of the volcano goddess cooled - then caught fire of a different kind - as the most notorious playboy of Hawaiian mythology seduced her with his hands and lips. Kurama took advantage of Pele's preoccupation to go to Hiei's side. Gently, he shook his lover, trying to bring awareness back into his beloved's features.
"Hiei?" Slowly, crimson eyes focused on the worried kitsune. Hiei frowned, becoming aware of his surroundings. "You crazy fox! What did you think you were doing?!" he growled, remembering.
Kurama gifted him with a wry smile. "I tend to be irrational when it comes to you, koi," he informed the irritated youkai dryly. "I can't imagine why."
"What about Pele?" Hiei asked, allowing the redhead to pull him to his feet.
Kurama moved so the fire demon could catch a glimpse of the two deities. "She's busy." Hiei could see the goddess locked in a passionate embrace with a young man. "Is that -?"
The two youkai watched as Kamapua'a pulled away slightly to whisper something in Pele's ear. Like a young girl, she blushed, her response reaching their ears. "And I you."
The two gods began to glow, growing brighter until the onlookers were forced to avert their eyes. The light rose into the sky, then headed back towards the Big Island, a huge fireball.
Kurama wrapped his arms around his small lover. "It's over."
"Aa." They stood silently for several long moments.
"Ne, Hiei," Kurama murmured, regaining his composure, " You saw how effective Kamapua'a's method of persuasion worked, and we've got some time left..." his voice trailed off suggestively as he nuzzled the fire demon's neck.
"Feeling frisky, are we?" Hiei asked dryly.
"Hai, you know how life threatening encounters with gods always turn me on," Kurama teased.
"Hn." But Hiei's answering smile was wicked as the two lovers shared a kiss, secure in their love.
