Hiei's Surprise
By Yami Yue

Chapter Two



A week later as agreed I arrived at the park at noon with a small bag on my shoulder. Hiei was waiting for me under a large cherry tree. "I trust you had no problems." Hiei said as he approached me. "None at all." I replied. In fact mother had been glad that I wanted to stay with Hiei for the week. To her the fire apparition had become like a second son. Hiei in turn had become almost as protective of my mother as me. "By the way, she sends her love and this." I added as I handed him a small box containing his favorite variety of my mother's homemade cookies, something Hiei liked almost as much as ice cream. He smirked and took the package. "You'll have to thank her for me." He said as he turned and began walking. "I will." I assured him as I followed.

We headed to the Makai and before long we reached a dense forest. Hiei led the way from there. We traveled a short distance when suddenly he stopped. "Close your eyes fox." Hiei instructed. I did as I was told, after all I didn't want to ruin the surprise. Hiei took my hand and we continued walking. After a while I detected a different scent than that of the pines and other evergreens around us. "Roses?" I wondered. "What are roses doing in the forest?" The scent became stronger as we walked on. Soon I could hear the faint sound of water rushing and guessed that we were near a river. We kept moving and the sound grew louder. Shortly, we came to a stop.

"Open your eyes." Hiei said. I did. Ahead of me was a clearing surrounded by massive evergreens, forming a thick barrier. I turned to see that where we had entered was the only way in or out. Hiei had chosen this spot well. In the center of the clearing was a massive tree. In its thick boughs, well above ground was a house. Rosebushes circled the treehouse like a fence. I noticed that all of the rosebushes in sight bore red roses, except the two that grew taller than the rest, forming an archway above the entrance. The roses on these bushes were sky blue. "It's beautiful." I said as I walked up to the rosebush fence. "Now when you want to get away from the human world you have someplace to go." Hiei responded. "Just don't let all my hard work go to waste." I raised an eyebrow. "You did this all by yourself?" I asked. Hiei nodded. "I'm impressed." I said. "I thought you would be." He responded as we went through the archway. The land at the back of the tree house was just as impressive as the front. There was more than enough room to plant a large orchard (or two small ones), and a garden or two. A river flowed nearby, providing plenty of water. From there we went into the house itself. The house consisted of a living room, kitchen, dining room, a large bedroom and bath. Each room had an excellent view of the forest below. Needless to say I immediately fell in love with the place.

That night I fought to stay awake waiting for Hiei to fall asleep. It seemed like an eternity before his breathing was soft and deep. Carefully I got out of bed and left the room. I barely made a sound as I made my way out of the house and down to the ground. "I just hope he doesn't wake up before I get back." I thought as I passed the rosebush fence. Slowly I made my way down the narrow pathway until I reached the point where Hiei had me close my eyes. I marked the way with a vine and made a mental note of where the pathway was. Swiftly I continued on my way. I headed through the forest as quickly as I could, alert for any dangers lurking nearby. Soon I reached my destination – a small cave.

The large plants concealing the entrance parted to let me pass as I approached. I entered the cave, using the pale moonlight to see inside. Luckily the object I wanted was close at hand. I picked up the sword and drew it from its sheath. The katana's blade was in perfect condition, a wonder since it had been in this cave over fifteen years. I sheathed the sword and inspected the hilt. The hilt itself was made of metal, an intricately carved dragon with it's tail curled around the base of the blade. Two rubies winked at me in the pale moonlight from the dragon's eyes. "Hiei is going to love this." I thought with a smile. I decided to come back later and gather the rest of my stored wealth. I planned to move back to the Makai in the future and I didn't want someone else getting their hands on it.

I left the cave and watched with satisfaction as the plants repositioned themselves to conceal the entrance. I headed back to the treehouse as fast as I could. I was relieved to find that Hiei was still fast asleep when I returned. I used my shirt to clean the dust off the sword and held it up to the moonlight once more for inspection. Once satisfied I hid it within reach of my side of the bed. Careful not to disturb Hiei I climbed back into bed and made myself comfortable. In no time I was asleep.

I awoke when the sun shone right into my eyes. With a groan of protest I rolled over onto my side. "It's about time you woke up." Hiei said. Lazily I opened one eye. It seemed he'd been up for a while, judging by the impatient expression on his face. I closed my eye and yawned, intent on going back to sleep. Hiei gently pushed me onto my back and drew me close to him, cradling my head in his lap. He tugged lightly on one of my sidelocks and I opened my eyes. His ruby red orbs locked onto my emerald green ones. The look in his eyes dared me to close my eyes again. "Alright I'm up." I conceded. "Good." He said as he placed a small box in my hands. "Happy anniversary fox." He said. I sat up and opened the box. I reached inside and lifted out a silver necklace. At first glance the pendant could be mistaken for a black pearl. I knew better. It was a tear gem. I looked at Hiei and smiled. "Put it on me?" I requested. He took the silver necklace from my hand and secured the chain around my neck. "Thank you Hiei. It's beautiful." I said as I fingered the tear gem. His eyes shone brightly, obviously pleased with my response. I moved over to my side of the bed and retrieved Hiei's gift from its hiding place. "Happy anniversary Hiei." I said as I presented the sword to him. Hiei's eyes widened as he took the sword. He slowly unsheathed it, inspecting the blade carefully. He stood and tested the weight of the sword before performing a few practice thrusts and swings with it. I watched in fascination as he went through various exercises with his new sword. He moved with the grace only an experienced swordsman could achieve. I didn't tear my gaze away from my lover for a moment, watching as the muscles of his bare upper torso shifted with each movement he made. All too soon he sheathed the sword, looking quite pleased. I smiled.

"I take it you like my gift." I said. "I love it." He responded. "Where did you get a sword of this craftsmanship?" he asked. "A minor Maki lord probably." I answered. Hiei smirked. "I think it was meant for you love." I commented. "Until recently I didn't know why I kept it." "You're probably right fox." He responded as he set his new sword next to its predecessor. He rejoined me in bed and kissed me. I eagerly returned the kiss as I ran my hands over the firm muscles of his bare chest. He ran his hands over the thin shirt I wore, teasing me with his touch. He caressed my back just as I had taught him. I quivered with pleasure. "I think it's time for a more advanced lesson." He said softly, then kissed me again. He released my lips and began his sweet torment on my neck. I leaned down and nibbled on his ear as he brought his hands around to my chest. "Let's see how well you've learned what I've taught you first." I responded. "Hn." Hiei replied as he slid his hands under my shirt and began caressing my stomach. "As you wish." He murmured huskily. I laid him onto his back and began attacking his chest with my lips, tongue and lightly with my teeth. Hiei's eyes darkened with passion and he tugged at my shirt. I sat back a little, straddling his hips, straitening up just enough to allow him to remove my shirt. It was gone in a flash landing out of sight somewhere to be forgotten until later. Suddenly I was on my back. Hiei sat astride my hips looking down at me with an impish grin. He continued his kisses and caresses with passion. His fevered touch set my body afire with pleasure. "Inari Hiei." I thought. "Do you know what you're doing to me?" I looked into his eyes. Oh yes, he knew.

I gasped as he found another sensitive spot and he grinned. He nibbled my ear teasing the sensitive lobe with his tongue as his hands caressed my chest. I moaned and closed my eyes. "So sensei has your student learned well?" he asked in a sensual tone. "Yes." I murmured. "Very well." He brought his lips teasingly against a sensitive spot just below my throat. "Then shouldn't you get a reward for teaching me so well?" he continued, his warm breath teasing my skin as he spoke. My breath caught in my throat as he gently grazed my skin with his teeth. I moaned as he kissed me. "I think you do." He murmured as he took my hands in his. I opened my eyes and watched with a half lidded gaze as he placed my hands on the waistband of his boxers. I looked at him, completely dazed. His eyes met mine and I could see the intense desire in his gaze.

Though we had been together a year now we had never gone further than kisses and caresses. I'd vowed to myself that I'd do things right this time, take things slow and wait until Hiei was ready before taking things further. Then of course there was the problem with timing. We never knew when my mother would come home or when Hiei would come to visit, so we just stuck with our usually heavy make out sessions. I'd been careful in the past not to loose control and seduce him into further pleasure. Hiei's seductive voice and sensuous touch however, were steadily diminishing that control.

"What did you have in mind?" I asked, deciding to get him to tell me what he was thinking. Hiei smiled enticingly as he rested his hands on top of mine. He leaned forward and kissed me passionately. He broke the kiss and brought his lips to my ear. "I want to make love to you fox." He murmured huskily. "Are you sure?" I asked him. "Yes." He hissed in my ear. "I want you." Said a voice tenderly in my mind. "I need you." I shivered. Hiei had never spoken mind to mind like this with me before. "You told me that you wanted more than just my body." He said softly. "You said you wanted my friendship….." He kissed my cheek. "….my love…" He kissed my lips lovingly "….my heart…" he planted a soft kiss on my chest. "I've given you these and you've given me the same." "Now I'm offering you my body." He whispered sensually. "Are you willing to accept?" I shivered. I could deny him nothing when he used that sexy tone of his and he knew it. I leaned up and claimed his lips with my own. "I'm yours Hiei." I responded once I broke the kiss. "Do with me as you please." Hiei smiled. "Then teach me fox." He said. "Give me my next lesson." "As you wish." I responded.
