A Lover's Destiny

Chapter 18- Demons Mate for Life

They reached his house. "Um...Hikari. Do you think you could open the door? My hands are a bit....full." he said looking down at her.

Hikari chuckled. She moved and opened the door. It had been unlocked.

Hiei smiled and walked in with Hikari still in his arms.

Hikari nuzzled into him again. Cuddling.

He hugged her even closer to him as he walked upstairs.

Yukina and Naturo were in the kitchen talking with Kurama.

Yukina didn't notice they had come in.

Naturo didn't notice either.

Kurama did but he didn't say anything.

Naturo looked at Kurama. "Why was my mom crying and my dad acting a little mean?" he asked both Yukina and Kurama.

Yukina couldn't answer. She didn't totally know.

Kurama smiled. "Don't worry about it Naturo. They'll be fine now." he reassured him.

Naturo sighed and nodded.

Yukina didn't know how Kurama knew what he did but she felt that he knew what he was talking about.

Hikari leaned up and kissed Hiei on the lips.

Hiei kissed her back. He set her on the bed.

Hikari pulled him on top of her.

Hiei kissed her on the lips again. This seemed to be his favorite thing to do.

She kissed him also.

They continued like that for a couple hours or so. It got dark. Yukina carried Naturo up and knocked on the door.

"I think it's Naturo's bedtime..." he said through the door.

"Let him sleep with you." Hiei said.

He didn't want Naturo in there that particular night.

Hikari kissed Hiei on the tip of his nose.

Yukina shrugged and got his stuff. 'I guess Kazuma will just have to live with it for one night.' she thought.

Kuwabara was sitting on the couch downstairs now, watching TV.

Hikari and Hiei kissed.

She continued to kiss Hiei, putting her arms around his neck lightly.

Hiei was loving it. He didn't want to admit it though. He continued to kiss her as well.

He rubbed her sides lovingly.

It got darker outside.

She parted her lips a bit, continuing to kiss him.

Hiei reached over and turned out the lights.

~*~*Morning*~*~

Yukina sat up in bed and yawned.

She looked to her left and saw Naturo sleeping soundly. He had slept between her and Kuwabara.

Kuwabara woke up slowly.

Yukina looked at the clock. 'It's late.' she thought to herself as she picked up Naturo and cradled him in her arms. He was still asleep.

Naturo slowly awoke. He usually didn't awaken to someone cradling him but he liked it.

In Kurama's house, Hikari started to awaken.

Hiei did as well. He rubbed Hikari's back.

Hikari cuddled to Hiei a bit more then she already was, smiling.

Kuwabara looked at the clock. "We better pack..." he said with a smile. It was now about noon..

"You can start. I've got to go bring Naturo home." she said sweetly.

She started gathering his things.

Kuwabara smiled. Nodding. "Ok," he said and got up. He took a suitcase from under the bed and started to pack some stuff...

Yukina brought Naturo back and knocked on the door to Hiei and Hikari's bedroom.

Hiei yawned and pulled Hikari down into the covers with him. He was still tired. "Come in Yukina." he said yawning at the same time.

Hikari nuzzled into Hiei a bit. She was really tired.

Yukina smiled. "Are you sure? You're decent right?"

Hiei smiled weakly. "Yeah."

Hikari and Hiei had tried some 'new ways' so they were tired.

Yukina came in quietly as if not to bother them even though she knew they were awake.

She put Naturo in his crib.

Hikari smiled, looking at Naturo and Yukina.

Naturo was asleep again...

Yukina sighed and left the room. 'I just wish they would get married or something.' she thought. 'I think it would make us all happier.' She smiled. 'Give them time.'

'I wish Hiei would marry me...' Hikari thought.

He stood and slipped into something more...presentable.

"I suggest you do the same." he said to Hikari smiling slightly.

Hikari smiled, nodding. She got up and got dressed.

Hiei stood behind her. He kissed her neck sweetly.

Hikari smiled and leaned a bit into his grasp. She sighed happily.

Hiei smirked and held her closer.

She nuzzled into him.

Hiei picked her up.

He carried her downstairs for breakfast.

Yukina was back at Kuwabara's house. She was just about finished packing for their honeymoon.

Kuwabara watched her, smiling.

Yukina finished and put the suitcases on the bed. One for her, and one for Kuwabara.

"There. I think we're ready." she said happily.

Kuwabara nodded. "I think so" he looked at the clock.

"It's 10 so we got about 6 hours" he said with a smile.

Yukina nodded.

Kuwabara smiled.

Hiei brought Hikari into the kitchen. 'Naturo will be fine alone.' he thought as they sat down for breakfast.

*5 1/2 hours later*

Yukina and Kuwabara were at the airport. They took a nonstop flight to Iceland where they bought a honeymoon suite for the next week.

After they were there, Kuwabara walked up to the hotel. It was very nice in Iceland.

Yukina smiled. She thought the same thing.

Kuwabara kissed Yukina on the cheek.

Back at the other house, Hikari looked up at Hiei.

Hiei smiled. They had finished eating lunch as it was now 6 hours later.

Hikari and Hiei were back on the bed upstairs. She nuzzled into him.

Hiei did the same with her. He had a question he wanted to ask her but he didn't know how to put it into words.

She smiled up at him.

The same question kept running through his mind. 'But how do I say it? What if she says 'no?' I'll seem like a fool.' he thought to himself.

'I want to get married to him so bad... please... ask me..'

Hiei gathered some courage after he thought of a way to put it into words. "H-Hikari?" he asked nervously to see if she was listening.

Hikari, snapped out of her thoughts, looked up at him. "Yes?"

Hiei shifted nervously.

Hikari watched him with a soft smile on her face.

"W-well. I was just wondering if you w-would consider being my mate…" he muttered. He was happy that he actually got it out.

Hikari's eyes widened. "Y-your asking m-me to m-marry y-you?" she asked, tears of happiness in her eyes.

"W-why are you crying?" he asked her quietly. To tell you the truth he was a bit concerned.

"I am just s-so happy" she said with a smile. She kissed his cheek.

Hiei smiled and kissed her as well. He was still a bit confused however. "I've seen Yukina cry when she was happy...but I never understood it." he admitted.

Hikari smiled. "And I would love to marry you." she kissed him on the lips.

Hiei kissed back. He was too happy for words. 'I think now I'm finally beginning to understand feelings.' he thought to himself.

She parted her lips a bit, continuing to kiss him.

Hiei did the same.

Hikari slowly slipped her tongue into his mouth, continuing to kiss him. She massaged his tongue with her own.

Hiei just let her do it. He was busy thinking again. 'I don't know anything about marriage...how am I supposed to do it? I can't ask for Yukina's help because she's in Iceland with Kuwabaka...and I can't ask Keiko or Yusuke because...I would be the laughing stock...'

Hikari broke the kiss and looked up into his eyes. "H-how are we going to get married? The human or demon way?"

Hiei cringed. "The human way would be less painful...but...the demon way less...embarrassing."

She nodded. "I sort of want to do it the demon way... because it would feel weird if we did it the human way since... we are demon"

Hiei nodded. "True." he agreed.

Hikari smiled a bit. "So... when do you want to?" she asked.

Hiei shrugged. "Whenever you want. I could care less. I sooner the better I suppose."

"Right now we could..." she said with a smile.

Hiei moved a little. "Right...now?"

Hikari nodded

Hiei smiled.

She leaned up and kissed him on the lips. She was a bit scared to tell the truth. And she still didn't know if he wanted to right now...

Hiei grabbed her around the waist and pulled her towards him. He wanted to but he was a bit scared also. 'No. Demon's aren't supposed to be scared.' he mentally told himself.

She moved into his lap, and put her arms around his neck, continuing to kiss him. 'Does... does he want to now?'

Hiei kissed her saying 'yes.'

She continued to kiss him but finally broke the kiss and looked him in the eyes. There was a bit of fear in her eyes.

Same with his. But he wanted to go ahead anyway. He REALLY wanted to be married to her. He wanted to create a vow that he would stay with her forever and ever.

She took his wrist into her hand and looked him in the eyes still. She ran her claw over his wrist, cutting him on the wrist.

He did the same to her. It hurt a bit but he got used to the pain quickly. It was nothing compared to some of the other pain he had endured before.

She winced as he cut her.

After both their wrists were cut, she put her cut wrist to his cut one.

Hiei winced. The pain had gotten worse. Both of them had lost a lot of blood but he wasn't worried about himself. More for Hikari.

After a bit Hikari went a bit pale but still smiled.

They were each sitting in their own pools of blood by now.

Hiei had gone a bit pale as well. But now that Hikari's blood was running through his veins he had gained some more of his own skin color.

And since Hikari had some of Hiei's blood, she regained some of her skin color back but her cut had been deeper and she was bleeding more.

Hiei was getting worried.

~Hi guys. Oh…and if Hiei seems OOC I'm sorry. We couldn't help making him that way. It is a romance story you know and we tried to keep him as close to his normal character as possible. Also, if some of the romance scenes seem a little…dragged out…that's because they are. We didn't mean to do it that way…we were doing this over IM and didn't realize how long we were making it. I tried to cut out as much of that stuff as humanly possible and still make it a good story. Anyway, thanks so much for all of your review so far. Just to give you guys an update, we've already gotten up to chapter 26 even though we only 18 chapters posted. We're working on it still so you don't have to worry about the story ending yet. Thanks again. Sayonara! -Miyu
