Chapter ~5

Hiei, seeing it was safe, moved back over to his original lawn chair. Kurama had, once again, started tanning. Hiei smiled and sat down again. Kurama looked at him and smiled warmly.

" Hiei."

He said in a soft voice. Hiei glanced in his direction.

"There's room for one more."

Hiei smirked and moved over to the chair his love was on. Kurama snuggled up to him, not caring what other people around them thought. Hiei just smirked and put an arm protectively around his kitsune.
Soon, Kurama's soft, even breathing told him he'd dozed off. He pressed his lips to the top of Kurama's head and whispered ' I love you' softly. Kurama's only response was to lay his head on Hiei's bare chest. He closed his eyes and smiled, still with his mouth pressed to the top of his head. He reached up with the arm he'd had around his kitsune and combed his blood-red, silky hair with his fingers.
He reached into the bag he'd brought with his free hand and pulled out a pair of headphones and a CD case. He flipped through them until he found his AeroSmith CD. Hiei stared at it for a moment, then he looked down at the sleeping fox-demon.

::How did he get my CD?!::

he thought to himself, slightly annoyed. But all his anger was washed away immediately and was replaced with concern when he saw Kurama was turning a crimson color. Kurama didn't get out much these days because he had been in the Spirit World ( or Reikai ) too much lately. The sunscreen he had applied earlier had worn down. Hiei carefully picked him up, slipping one arm under his knees and one around his shoulders letting Kuramas head still rest on his bare chest, so as not to wake him and carried him off to their room.

"Next time, Kurama, I won't be so generous as to carry you. I'll wake your ass up and make you walk yourself, I mean- what do I look like? A servant?"

he asked himself more than Kurama upon reaching their room. He gently laid Kurama down on the velvety, blanketed waterbed. He himself laid down next to the still sleeping Kurama and fell asleep a short time later.

"So what brings you to this pathetic country?"

Yami asked Merik with a hint of sarcasim.

" If you must know, I'm here with Ishisu on some important business."

He explained wrinkling his nose in disgust. Yami just smirked coldly at him.

"She has some business to do with some scholars I imagin. I'm here to look for-"

"-some more Millenium items."

Yami Bakura finished for him still smirking. Merik merly nodded.
