The song in this chapter is what gave this story it's name. The song is Don't Lead Me On by Bobby Caldwell. The lyrics fit perfectly how Hiei feels in this situation.  Hope you enjoy this chapter, dear readers. 

Warnings:

1. This is a YOAI story meaning male + male relationships. Please do not read if you're not comfortable with/into this.
2. There's probably some OCC in this too, so I'm warning just in case.
3. Things get a little more heated from here on out so a Lime warning is in effect. No Lemon though.


Don't Lead Me On
by Yami Yue

Chapter Four: First Date



It had been a week since I'd last seen Hiei and during that time I had come closer to believing that my confession of love had been another one of my fantasies. If it hadn't been I was sure that Hiei's kiss had meant goodbye. As the days passed my mood became melancholy and nothing seemed to lift my spirits. I headed home as quickly as possible, the warm weather was making me more miserable by the moment. I remembered then that the air conditioner had broken this morning and the repairman couldn't come until at least tomorrow. As I reached my house I decided my room would be the best place to stay for now. The ceiling fan would at least bring some relief and leaving my window open would let me catch any breeze that came through. I entered the house, locking the front door behind me. I headed upstairs to my room. I dropped my backpack at the door and shut it behind me. I turned on the ceiling fan and opened the window. I turned on the radio, then stripped to my boxers and laid down on the bed. I had the strange feeling I was being watched but I was too hot to care. I closed my eyes and listened to the soft music playing on the radio. I was halfway asleep when I felt a familiar spirit energy. The billowing of the curtains and the rustle of fabric announced Hiei's arrival. I was about to open my eyes and sit up, but I heard Hiei's footsteps moving toward the radio and I remained still to find out what he was doing. He turned the volume up a bit and walked back to his spot by the window. He sat down and he began to sing softly.

Don't make advances if you can't follow through -Oh no
Don't whisper words in my ear that might not come true - they seldom do
My heart's been broken so much I've lost track and it's taken this long to mend
So don't say you love me and then take it back 'cause I couldn't bear it again

Don't lead me on
Don't play with my emotions baby
I've just got to know it's for real
and the love that you feel is strong
Is that so wrong?
Don't lead me on

You keep making passes
Don't play games with my heart-Don't fool around
You've got to mean what you say and you can't walk away once you start
When you move closer it's hard to resist and I know I could easily fall
I'd rather live with the chance that I'd miss than end up with nothing at all

Don't lead me on
Don't toy with my affections baby
Why should I surrender my heart?
Just to wake up and find you gone with no so long
Don't lead me on

Don't lead me on
Don't play with my emotions baby
I've just got to know it's for real
and the love that you feel is strong
Is that so wrong?
Don't lead me on


Don't lead me on
Please baby

Don't lead me on no
Don't lead me on
Don't lead me on

Don't lead me on

Don't lead me on no
Don't lead me on
Don't lead me on

Please baby
Don't lead me on

Don't lead me on no
Don't lead me on
Don't lead me on

Please baby
Don't you lead me on

I opened my eyes and slowly sat up. Hiei stood and walked over to me. He leaned in toward me and captured my lips in a gentle kiss. I returned the kiss gently and he rested his hands against my chest. Slowly he ran his hands over my bare chest, meaning to explore every inch of my exposed skin with his touch. I made no move to stop him. Hiei kissed me back harder this time, as though trying to communicate his desire. He released my lips and began trailing gentle kisses around my neck. I moaned as one of those kisses reached a particularly sensitive spot. Gently I nuzzled his neck before planting a soft kiss there, then reaching up and nibbling on his earlobe. I trailed a few more kisses across his jaw. I watched with satisfaction as he lowered his eyelids slightly. I kissed his lips gently again. Hiei returned the kiss, again demanding, but more heated. I couldn't help another moan as I responded to the kiss, giving the fire apparition a searing kiss of my own. Faintly I was aware of being lowered onto my back. We broke away at the same time for much needed air. My breathing was getting heavy, something in the back of my mind was telling me to stop things before they really got heated, but I didn't want to. "So what is it you want from me Kurama?" Hiei murmured huskily in my ear, before nibbling on the sensitive lobe and earning another moan from me. "Is it my body you want?" Hiei asked as he straddled my waist and began gently caressing my chest with his hands. "Yes." I answered as I half opened my eyes. "….want more..." I started to add but I was cut off as the fire apparition attacked my chest with his lips, and tongue making me moan in pleasure again. His kisses and tongue caresses were making my whole body tingle with desire. I knew I had to do something if I was going to tell him what I wanted to say, before I lost control. I grabbed Hiei and flipped us over so that I was on top. "You didn't let me finish." I said as I leaned toward Hiei. "I do want your body." I began. "..but I want more than that." "I want your friendship." I said as I kissed the fire apparition's forehead. "I want your love." I said as I kissed Hiei's cheek and "I want your heart. "I said then kissed Hiei's lips. "Let's make a pact." I suggested. "What kind of pact?" Hiei asked. "Neither of us shall take another lover unless and until we part ways." I said. "Agreed." he replied. I reached up and pulled two seeds from my hair. Hiei watched me with curiosity as I took his hand. I carefully balanced the seed on his ring finger and willed the tiny plant inside to grow. It wrapped itself around his finger forming a ring. In it's center was a tiny red rose. I repeated the procedure with my own ring finger. "The bloom will only die if one has been unfaithful to the other." I told him. He held up his hand and stared at the tiny rose in awe for a moment. "Then you are mine and I am yours alone." Hiei said. "Yes." I replied. "I want to do things right this time." "I love you Hiei." I confessed. "I really do." He smiled and gently kissed me again. "I love you too fox." he replied, then began teasing my chest again with his lips and tongue. "Inari, Hiei.." I breathed as my eyes closed. "You keep doing that and I'll loose control." "Hn." was my love's only reply. My eyes opened wide as he flipped me onto my back. Gently he caressed my chest teasing me with his touch. I couldn't help but moan. His kisses and caresses began moving lower, traveling down my stomach earning him a few more pleased moans. A familiar sound of footsteps caught my attention. "Hiei..."I panted. "we...can't." The fire demon looked at me in confusion. "My mother... just... came home." I whispered as the sound of a key being inserted into the lock reached our ears. "Please...I..don't want..to..explain..this....to her." I pleaded. "Alright fox." Hiei agreed. He gave me one last kiss then climbed off me. "Will you be around tomorrow?" I asked as he got off the bed. "Hn." He murmured, this one I knew meant yes. "We'll get ice cream." I told him as I sat up." Just the two of us." "How about seven?" I asked. Hiei nodded, then turned and was gone in the blink of an eye.

The next day as promised Hiei was waiting for me at the ice cream parlor. I had barely made it on time. "What took you so long?" Hiei asked. "I had to find a way to get out of meeting a nice girl my mother met today." I answered. "Just how did you get out of it?" Hiei asked as we went inside. "Honestly, I'm not sure." I replied. "When I told her I was meeting a friend for ice cream she didn't press the matter further." "She probably thinks you're on a date." Hiei commented. "Well I am aren't I?" I asked as I brought my arm around his waist. The fire apparition smirked. "Of course Baka kitsune." He replied.


We ordered our ice cream and quickly found a table in the back away from many of the customers. I made a point of giving Hiei suggestive looks and eating my frozen treat more provocatively than usual. He smirked and joined in the game. By the time the ice cream was finished we were both eager to finish what we started the day before in my room. As I leaned in to kiss him however, we both felt a familiar spirit energy. Yusuke had just entered the ice cream parlor. Hiei softly cursed under his breath. "What's he doing here?" he murmured. The detective caught sight of us and walked over. His brown eyes took in the scene, then twinkled in amusement. "Did I interrupt something?" Yusuke asked as he sat down at an empty chair. "No." I lied. "We were just finishing our ice cream." "Uh huh." Yusuke responded. "Then why do you two look guilty as hell?" he teased. I swallowed hard. I had no idea what to say. Yusuke looked from me to Hiei. Ysuske smirked at me. "You see, I was right." He said softly so that only I could hear. "Congratulations." I could feel the heat rise in my face and I knew I was blushing. The detective then stood. "I'll see you guys later. I'm on my way to meet Keiko and she'd kill me if I were late." We both watched in silence as the detective left the ice cream parlor. "Let's get out of here before the dolt shows up next." I nodded in agreement. The last thing I wanted was a run in with Kuwabara. As we left the ice cream parlor I smiled at Hiei and he smiled back at me. He took his hand in mine and we walked toward the park. As always we were content to be in each other's company, but this time it was different. I wasn't just content, for the first time in my life I felt complete.
