Sins of being beautiful

Note: I don't feel like babbling today. Here we go to the story.
Part V. Shadow
Shadowed water embraced the naked skin in the dimly lit room as memory of centuries blended and blurred, distorting and swirling into the reddest shade of blood. Its scent filled his nose. Along the wall dark shadow danced in its own rhytm--of death it marvelled.
Trees and flowers whipered words of warning through the wind, which became freezing as it blew past his skin, sending shiver down his spine. In the red pool of blood, there were corspes--heads and bodies apart. Corpses of his kin. Their lifeless eyes stared straight at him. Then he felt like he was sinking into the pool. Those arms clung onto him, pulling him down deeper and deeper along with chilling laughter. Everything went cold and dark.
A hand touched his cheek. It was warm unlike those he felt a moment before. He leaned into the touch for comfort, letting it soothe him. Slowly the nightmare faded before he remembered his pride.
The fire youkai studied the silver youko's face. It seemed like he was sleeping. His eyes closed, his lips parted slightly. 'So inviting...so...' Hiei stopped his thought. He shouldn't do anything like that now that the fox had forgiven him. Yet the sight was so tempting. 'No.' He shook his head vehemenly. Foxes are always shameless sinners. They don't know what pain they cause to others. So was Kurama. He didn't know what his beauty did to others. It was torturing not to touch, to do whatever you wanted. Yes, but if he didn't want to see his fox cry again, he had to stop the thought. He didn't want to hurt him.
The fox murmered something he couldn't understand. Youko's tongue. It sounds like chanting. Although the alto was soft and musical, the youko seemed to shiver slightly. Hiei was unsure if what he was going to do was a good idea but he rested one of his hand on the youko's cheek, caressing the soft porcelain skin. To his own surprise, Kurama leaned into the touch.
Bad decision for him. He shouldn't have touched the fox. The response made him crave for more. He tried to restrain himself but failed completely. He planted a kiss on the fox's neck. His other hand roamed the fox's body as it went lower and lower. That was when the fox's golden eyes snapped open. Cold and distant they were. Hiei realized he had crossed the line, so he drew back.
Despite his cold gaze, which Hiei considered a denying manner, deep inside the fox felt a spark of hurt. It wasn't like Hiei to draw back that easy. He had learned the fire youkai's patience from his experience of the past whole week. If there was something that made Hiei stop, it was that Hiei didn't want him anymore.
Came to think of it, Hiei didn't come after him at first. They just met by chance. The fire youkai just came to rescue his sister. How come a fire youkai became a koorime's brother, he had no idea. But he knew that Hiei cared for her a lot. He bit his lips. 'Am I jealous?' He couldn't bare the thought anymore. Him? Jealous? No way. He didn't feel anything for the fire youkai. Nothing. He snatched a towel from the bar and left the bathroom, saying not any word.
Hiei stared after the fox. 'Great, now he really hates me.' He walked out of the room and noticed Kuronue and Yukina standing aside the door. Both of them grinned sheepishly at him. "Oh, I forget the tea." Yukina said and ran off. That left Kuronue with Hiei.
"You stupid! Moron! Idiot! Asshole!" yelled the chimera, grabbing him by his cloak. "Why did you let him go that easy?"
"Hn." Hiei slapped the chimera's hand away.
"You silly! Kurama has high pride, I've told you. To let him go that easy, that would make him think you don't want him! Oh, how stupid of you."
Hiei scowled. "I need no lesson from the one also wanting the fox."
Kuronue was glad that Yukina had left or she would have heard his secret. He sighed. "...I am not stupid enough to participate in a challenge that I know who would win." said the chimera, his violet eyes met with crimson ones.
Hiei smirked. "How do you know that I would win? He hates me."
Kuronue shook his head. This was more difficult than he thought. "Pride." He muttered then he said in an audible voice: "He loves you. I've told you before, haven't I?" he paused for the response from the fire youkai.
"Hn." Hiei was losing his patience, so the chimera took that as an agreement.
"And I've told you he was proud and stubborn, haven't I?" the chimera asked.
"Will you get to the subject quickly?" Hiei grunted.
"Okay," the chimera waved his hand in the air. "You don't want anyone else to take him away, right? Then play harder with him. Don't leave him time to think of his pride. But not too hard, he'll get angry."
"Good advisor, aren't you?" Hiei said sarcastically.
"You'll see how it works." the chimera watched Hiei departed then sat on the chair. Again he sighed. It wasn't easy for him, too. To let Kurama go. He loved the fox dearly. To see him with someone else... something inside him cracked.
~*~*~
Kurama finished dressing himself and was going to leave the room when Karasu burst in. "Darling, your hair's still wet. Your beautiful hair will get damaged. Let me help you." And the crow managed to make the fox sit down.
It wasn't wise to fight the crow when his ki wasn't back. However he had changed, Karasu had been a sadistic. Kurama didn't trust the crow.
Karasu started toweling his hair. He accidentally brushed past the fox's ear, which was a sensitive spot. Kurama gasped. "Oh, sorry dear." Karasu apologized but he was quite pleased with that and brushed past that spot again, which this time escaped a soft moan from the fox's lips.
Suddenly, the door burst open and Yomi stepped in. His keen hearing didn't betray him. He heard the fox's moan and he wouldn't let the crow score before him. He grabbed the comb from the table and sat beside Karasu. "His hair is dry now. I think combing is all what he need." And the horned youkai combed the silvery threads. Every stroke was to fill the fox with pleasure.
Someone knocked at the doors and Karasu, the peacemaker (He didn't object when Yomi came. That was peace!) opened it for Yukina. She brought a kettle of tea with her. "Tea time, minna-san." She smiled so sweetly that no one could deny her. In fact, she was on Hiei's side, so she wanted him to win this game. Even thought she had no idea that Hiei was her own brother, she liked him a lot. She felt herself becoming sly but compared to a fox, she was nothing but an innocent girl. (Kurama is a fox, remember Yukina-chan?) That thought helped her feel better.
The koorime's tea time plan worked very well. Yomi and Karasu stopped what their duties and Kurama was free to walk wherever he wanted. But to prevent one to spot him, he transformed into a kitsune. (A fluffy, cuddly fox.) The others didn't know that he could transform into a kitsune, right?
Sorry, dear Kurama. You forgot your old friend, Kuronue.
Kuronue grabbed the kitsune by its tail, holding it upside down. It was an easy task since Kurama had nine tails. "Where're you going?"
The kitsune's golden eyes narrow slightly. The chimera sat down on the floor and dropped the kitsune on his laps. The silver kitsune struggled to get out but the chimera holded it tight. "You've been a bad boy today, I guess. OWW!" The kitsune bit his fingers but not that hard to draw blood. "Kurama, you-" The kitsune slipped away. "Wait! I haven't finish talking."
'You talk too much.' Kurama thought as he ran. He had gone too far and he began to realize it wasn't safe for him. Not without his ki. For the first time, he admitted Yomi was right. The surrounding seemed darker and darker as shadow danced. There was blood all over. The freezing wind carried its bittersweet scent along. A figure standing in the tree shadow, that was the last thing he saw before everything turned black.
~*~*~
"Where did he go?"
"I didn't see him. Sorry."
"It's okay but what worry me is that he can't use his ki. Maybe some foes are after him and..."
"Stop thinking of something so bad. There are lots good people in this world. Yeah, let make peace!"
"Hn. That fox."
At the time like this, Hiei wanted to curse Mukuro the most. If only his jagan...damnit! He wouldn't wait here. He had to find his fox.
The others also left to find Kurama saved for Yukina. The koorime was asked to stay to make sure that Kurama came back when they weren't there or not.
...In the darkness of a cave not so far away, Kurama saw himself standing there before his eyes.
Owari!
