Silver Rose Assassinator
There they stood, the table with the knights between them, staring hungrily at each other. The lovers could feel their hearts beat wildly at the sight of one another.
"Oh Hiei! You're wounded!" Kurama cried and took a step towards him, but then stopped himself, remembering the threat of death should they touch one another.
"Don't worry about me," Hiei choked out, remembering the warning, "What about you? Are you okay love?"
"Yes, I suppose I am. It's only a flesh wound, nothing serious. What about you? What did you face in the Labyrinth?"
"Just some shooting daggers and a mechanical sphinx, you?"
"Some, uh, experiments that the guild created a while back and a male sphinx."
"What kind of experiments Kurama?"
"They mutated some lions to demented crazy beasts that were three times the normal size, and three times as dangerous. It was nothing I couldn't handle Hiei."
"Sure, tell your arm that baka."
"Hiei, don't call me an idiot! Had I been in the dagger tunnel, at least I would have escaped unscathed." Tempers flared as they glared at each other, and their voices began to echo off the walls, getting louder with each word. Hiei and Kurama covered their ears and shouted over the noise.
"What the hell!" shouted Hiei angrily, "Why does everything seem so loud!?"
"It's because you can't control your anger damnit! You're too overbearing!" Kurama yelled back at him, "You were always too demanding!"
"I am NOT demanding! It only seems that way because you don't know what you are doing half the time! You're brain can't process information correctly, baka!"
"See?! There you go again, blaming me for your incompetence!"
The room was shaking now with the vibrations of their voices as they bounced against the wall. Stones fell around them, and the two lovers glared coldly at one another. The knights around the table seemed to shift uneasily, their faces moving to one of worry and sorrow. The king's eyes seemed to fill with blue tears as he heard the lovers fight. The two of them strode forward, stood before each other, and suddenly stumbled back as they remembered the words of the Council. Kurama raised himself to his knees and looked at Hiei, who looked back at him, his face a cool mask of no emotion.
"Hiei," Kurama whispered, "I am sorry. I didn't mean anything I said, I swear. I don't know what came over me." As he spoke his apology, the echoing began to recede a little bit, but it was still powerful. Hiei looked at Kurama from the corner of his eye and he sighed. He wasn't angry at Kurama, in fact, he had no reason to be angry at him at all. Yet, why did he just yell at him like that? There should be no reason for them to be fighting. He turned his head towards him.
"Kitsune," he replied silently, "I'm not mad at you. I don't know why I was yelling at you. My emotions went out of control, and I didn't mean anything that I said." The echo faded completely at Hiei's apology, and silence sung in the air. The Knights relaxed and the King wiped away his tears, or that's what it looked like he did. They sat on the floor, wondering if they could keep the vow that they made as they looked longingly at each other. Finally Kurama opened his mouth to speak.
"A long time ago," Kurama said softly, "I saw my mother die."
"Kurama…" Hiei began, but was cut off by Kurama's hand rising in the air. He succumbed to Kurama and held his tongue.
"It was between two rival companies, and my mother and I were just there at the wrong time. We were coming home from the movies when it happened. We rounded a corner, and suddenly my mother screamed as gun shots flew through the air. I had no idea what was going on as my mother fell to the ground and I tried to catch her, but she was too heavy for my small, ten year old arms and we both toppled to the ground. I heard the men cry out their god's name as they saw what they had done, but they ran off into the night, leaving me wailing for my mother to wake up. The police came after a while, and I was silent. I had lost my whole life because of two companies who didn't know how to fight honorably. I was taken to an orphanage, but I didn't stay there. I ran away into the snowing night, and just continued to run and run. I had no where to go, and no place to stay. After many hours, I finally collapsed onto the door step of Yomi, who took pity on me and took me in. I was soon given to Ryuujin and he adopted me as his son, training me in the ways of the guild. As I became of age, the guild took me in and completed my training and I was emitted into the guild. I quickly rose in the ranks, finding that killing was the simplest thing to do, and I had no remorse. Every time someone died at my hands, I thought that it was one of the men that killed my mother, and I was glad that they died. However, the night I came to your apartment, I was ordered to kill you. Yet, your skills caught me off guard as I held you beneath me and wrapped my fingers around your head, preparing to snap it. Ever since I met you Hiei, my life has totally changed, and I don't want anything to do with the guild anymore. I want to live my life with you."
Hiei looked at Kurama in stunned silence and sympathy as he thought about what he just told him. Kurama had no doubt been debating in his mind whether or not he should tell him of these things, but Hiei's heart swelled with pride, knowing that Kurama trusted him enough to tell him of his life. He smiled slowly at Kurama and crawled towards him, and sat before him, gazing into his crystal green eyes that shined slightly with sad tears.
"Kurama, I love you so much," Hiei said quietly, raising his finger slightly, holding it a breath away from Kurama's cheek, "And I don't care about the vow I made to the guild. I want to touch you, and if it means that we will die because of it, I want to hold you tightly in my arms as we go to paradise together. But, I don't want you to die with me if you do not want it."
"Hiei, if I die with you, then at least we can be together in another world, seeing that this world does not wish us to be together. I love you Hiei."
They're lips met before the rest of their bodies did, and they fell to the ground, hands intertwining with one another. Lips and tongues told how much they loved each other, fingers pulled away at clothes that hid smooth skin beneath them. Hiei nibbled Kurama's lower lip, and Kurama took a breath and recaptured his lover's delicious lips. Hiei and Kurama had just opened each other's shirts, when suddenly rough hands pulled them apart and stood them on their feet. They broke away from their guards and clung to each other. Two figures dressed in the black robes of the council approached them slowly, and the lovers looked at them in defiance, their arms wrapped around each other protectively.
"You have broken your vows," said one.
"And now you will die," continued the other.
"We are ready," they replied together, grasping each other tighter. Two guards grabbed their right arms roughly and brought them towards the council members. The two tied a red ribbon around their wrists, and stepped away from them and spoke once more, together.
"From this moment, Suuichi Silver Rose and Black-Dragon have died, leaving Kurama and Hiei free to live their lives as one." Kurama and Hiei started in surprise, and one of the members came forward and embraced the two of them in a large bear hug.
"My sons," he said, "You two have been bound together in the ancient marriage ritual of the guild that has been in existence for many years." The member pulled back his hood and Kurama gasped in surprise.
"Tenchi! You're alive? But I thought you had died many years ago!" The other member removed the hood and Jewel stood before them, smiling brilliantly at them.
"He did die, as did I Kurama," Jewel replied and laced her arm through her husband's arm, "But we did not die in the way that you are thinking. Our surnames were stripped from us and we only held out first names. We went through the same tests that you have gone through, and were married in the old way. The story of us being killed physically was used as a cover up so to speak. However, my title was stripped completely, and I was no longer able to live my life as an assassinator. Since you two are now together for as long as you will live, Suuichi Kurama Silver Rose no longer works here. He is only Kurama now, and you are just Hiei."
"B-but what of my employer?" Kurama asked, "What am I to do about him?"
"The guild has seen to it, don't worry Kurama. Now come, there is a feast being held for you two, and later, you will be led to more comfortable rooms," said Tenchi with a sly grin at the couple.

The moonlight poured into the room and hit the king's size bed, bathing it softly with her silver light. The warm summer's breeze ruffled the see through bed curtains gently, and revealed two lovers holding each other in a tight embrace. Kurama moaned as he fell back against the pillows and Hiei's body shuddered in pleasure, collapsing on top of the kitsune. Hiei shifted and pulled Kurama on top of him, pushing his head against his chest as he gently stroked the sweaty strands of red hair. Kurama sighed and snuggled into Hiei, wanting to just crawl inside him and sleep there forever, and Hiei kissed him on the hair.
"After we get a home," Hiei said, "What do you want to do? I still have a whole month off, we could go traveling somewhere."
"We don't have to look for a home," Kurama replied, "My father is going to take over his old sensei's home, and he is giving us the house. As for traveling, I'd like to tie you down and travel your body some more. After that, I don't know. Maybe we could adopt some kids? I love kids and always wanted to have some. Two boys, I've always wanted two boys. Maybe the guild could help…"
Hiei silenced him with a kiss and rolled him over onto his back.
The End
*Collapses onto the keyboard* I'M FINALLY DONE! Yay me! Wow, this was a long one! I am so glad that you all enjoyed it so much!
Hiei: Baka ningen! Aren't you forgetting something?
YM: What am I forgetting? *Pouts* you didn't have to call me a stupid human you know.
Kurama: What Hiei means *gives Hiei a nasty look* is that you have to say 'arigatou' for all the reviews that you received!
YM: Gomen! Arigatou for all the reviews! I think this story got even more than my InuYasha ones.
InuYasha: How the hell did that happen? Everyone knows that I am better to talk about then those two!
Hiei: You want to make a bet on that shit for brains?
YM: HIEI! Watch your language!
Kurama: Well, InuYasha didn't have to be so conceded.
IY: Well, my story is much more interesting!
H+K: *Glare at InuYasha with deep anger*
YM: Well, I'm going to run before this gets ugly! Ja! *Runs madly from the room screaming as the three youkai start brawling.*
