Yusuke's Gemini

By:XZanayu

Chapter Nine

The wind blew across the grass that separated the fighters from each other. When the wind stopped, the fight began. Kuwabara and Yusuke squared off against Ginzu using their standard punches and kicks and Kuwabara's Spirit Sword. Hiei and Kurama was busy fighting Jiro, Hiei wielding his Jaou-Ensatsu-Ken(Black Fire Sword) and Kurama using his Fuka Enbu Jin(Blast Flower Waltz Formation).
Akari was one on one with Gigi. Each fighting with deadly accuracy and determination with one goal in mind. The Cradle of Life which sat safely on the ground in the chest away from the battlefield.

Everyone was holding there own until Akari sensed another presence behind them near the chest. She managed to look behind her to see a figure dressed from head to toe in black, appear before the chest. She managed to punch Gigi away and began running towards the chest.

"Oh, no you don't." Gigi said and threw her sword at Akari.

"AKARI! WATCH OUT!" Yusuke yelled when he saw what happening. Akari continued to run towards the chest, fully aware of the sword coming up behind her. In slow motion,(you noticed I love doing that a lot), Akari dived for the chest. While in the air, she twisted her body around, shot her spirit gun at the sword and another one at the figure who was trying to open the chest. Both blasts had the desired effect. One destroying the sword, the other forcing the other enemy away from the chest. Akari landed, rolled to her feet, grabbed the chest, and began defending herself against Gigi and the newcomer while holding onto the chest. Being half-demon gave her excellent speed and flexibility to defend herself and the chest quite well, but she also knew she couldn't do it forever. She was beginning to tire, but she couldn't let go of the Cradle of Life. Yusuke and the others depended on her to bring everyone back to life and she was determine not to fail them.

Gigi and the newcomer noticed she was beginning to slow down and pressed harder. Akari managed to dodge a slice from Gigi's sword, but received a deep gash on her thigh causing her to fall. She rolled out of the way of Gigi's downward thrust and got to her feet. She was in terrible pain, blood was flowing from the wound on her leg, but she refuse to give up.

"That's a pretty bad injury. Maybe you should give up. You won't be able to stand much longer with all that blood your losing." Gigi told her. She was right. Akari was starting to feel light-headed, but she refused to give up. With Yusuke and the others pre-occupied, she had only one alternative. She kneeled down and placed the chest on the ground.

"That's a good girl." the newcomer said as she and Gigi approached her.

"SHOT GUN!!!" Akari screamed and fired the blast with all the energy left in her. The newcomer managed to jump out of the way, but Gigi wasn't so lucky. She was caught by the full effect of the blast and disintegrated. After the blast dissipated, Akari went to stand, when the newcomer appeared out of no where and slice her across her belly, the force of the blow sent her flying against a tree and hit the ground face first, dazed.

"AKARI!!" Hiei yelled as he witnessed what happened. The newcomer grabbed the chest with a satisfied smile on her face and vanished. So, did Jiro and Ginzu. Hiei was the first to reach Akari's prone body and cradled her in his arms.

"Akari?!" Yusuke called to her. She opened her eyes and smiled.

 "Are you guys, okay?" she asked them.

"Are we okay? We're fine. Its you we're worried about." Hiei told her.

"I'll use my spirit wave to try to heal you, okay?" Yusuke told her.

"It won't work." she told him.

"Why not?" he asked.

"Because its too weak. It like putting a band aid on a leaky pipe." she said, her breathing began to wane.

"We have to get her home fast." Kurama said.

"Yeah and what's worse is that those creeps got away with the Cradle of Life." Kuwabara said.

"No, they didn't." Akari said and lifted her hand and in her palm appeared the Cradle of Life. They gasped and looked at her.

"But, how?" Yusuke asked.

"I manage to remove it from the chest when no one was looking. Vendetta going to be in for a very unpleasant surprise when she opens that chest and finds it empty." she said with a soft chuckle, handed the Cradle of Life to Yusuke. Hiei took his cape and wrapped it around her stomach to slow the bleeding and Yusuke tore his shirt to bandage her thigh.

"Yusuke? Whistle for Kento. He will come, don't worry." she told him, fighting to stay conscious. Yusuke did as she asked and sure enough, a roar was heard and Kento appeared from the sky and landed before them. They quickly mounted his back with Hiei still holding her in his arms.

"Home..Kento." Akari murmured.

Kento heard her and took at full speed for the castle, sensing the urgency of the situation through the tense bodies that sat upon him.

********** Back at the castle, King Dante was with his advisors when a messenger ran in and gave him a urgent message. He immediately excused himself and ran out the room and towards the infirmary. He burst through the doors to the infirmary to find Yusuke and the others pacing around the waiting room.

"What happened, Yusuke?" he asked.

"When got the Cradle of Life, but Vendetta's goons appeared. We fought them, retained the Cradle of Life, thanks to Akari, but she was injured and pretty badly too. I'm sorry." he apologized.

"Its not your fault, Yusuke. Akari knew she would get hurt, but like her mother, she wanted to make sure nothing happened to the four of you. She cares for you all very much to let anything happen to you." King Dante said, placing his hands on Yusuke's shoulders. The doctor walked in. He was human with a slender build, blond hair, and cobalt blue eyes.

"Dr. Samejima, how is she?" King Dante asked.

"She's going to be just fine. The wounds are healing nicely and they should be completely healed sometime tonight. Everyone breath a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness." Yusuke said.

"Can we see her?" Kind Dante asked.

"Of course, your majesty. She's awake, but she won't be too much longer once the sedatives kick in, so I suggest you hurry before she falls asleep." the doctor replied. "Thank you much." King Dante shook Dr. Samejima's hands and left with Yusuke and the others in tow. They entered the room that Akari was placed in and were greeted by a smile.

"Hi guys." she said softly.

"Hi honey, how are you feeling?" Dante asked his daughter, placing a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm better, thanks to Dr. Samejima. He also says that I'll be back on my feet tomorrow morning. Lucky, I'm half-demon or I would've been dead." she said.

"You really had us worried, Akari." Yusuke said standing at the side of her bed.

"I'm tougher than I look, Yusuke. I have to be having you for my twin." she said and started to giggled.

"Itai! I shouldn't laugh." she chuckled while holding her belly.

"Its good to see your in a good mood. If it was me, I would've been complaining." Yusuke said with a smile.

"And the world breaths a sigh of relief." Hiei retorted.

"Hey!" Akari smiled then yawned. "Looks like the drugs are kicking in. Get some sleep, my darling." Dante said stroking her hair and kissed her cheek.

"I will. Hiei? Would you stay? I'd like to speak to you privately, please?" Hiei looked at her puzzled, but nodded.

"We'll see you tomorrow okay?" Yusuke asked, gently patting her hand.

"Okay. Goodnight fellas." she told them as they left her and Hiei alone. Hiei took a seat on the stool beside her bed.

"Hiei? Could you take me to my room?" she asked.

"Your room?" he asked, clearly confused.

"Yes. I don't like being here. I feel much better being in my own room in my own bed. Please?" she looked at him with pleading eyes. He snorted, stood, wrapped her snuggly in the blanket, gently picked her up and headed for the window. Akari leaned slightly to unlock it and gave it a gentle push and the window swung open. Hiei jumped up on the sill and looked down.

"Which one is yours?" he asked, looking at the terraces lining the outside wall.

"That one. The third one down from your left." she replied. Hiei jumped from the window sill to the balcony not knowing about King Dante hearing the conversation before leaving to go to bed. Landing as softly as he could. He saw the French doors open.

"Its okay. I leave them open to let the breeze in." she assured him and then clapped her hands. The lights came on to reveal a room softly decorated. A Queen size, four-posted bed sat against the far wall with sheer drapery enclosing it, giving it a romantic look. It was sparsely furnished. A computer desk and chair sat in one corner of the room, a book self sat against the wall near the bed, A complete entertainment center sat across and in front of the bed. The room was painted in a soft shade of lavender and gold. It was simple, but beautiful. Hiei walked inside and placed Akari down on the bed, the bedding had already been turned down. Akari gently got comfortable under the covers after removing the blanket from the hospital, dressed in her nightgown.

"Well..I guess I'll be going." Hiei said turning to leave. Akari caught his hand.

"Stay with me, please? Just for tonight? I don't want to be alone." she told him while moving over to make room for him. Hiei was clearly surprised. Should he really stay with her? He made up his mind. He sat down on the bed and removed his shoes, then his cape, which was cleaned when they return from the Labyrinth, and hung on the back of the chair beside the french doors. He climbed in beside her and got comfortable, placing his hands behind his head. Akari snuggled up against him and rested her head and hand on his compact, muscular chest. Hiei tensed. Not exactly sure what he was feeling. His mind was ablaze with mixture of emotions.

"Akari?" he asked shaking her lightly. She didn't answer. He saw she had fallen asleep. The drugs had taken effect. He decided to let her be and relaxed as her warm breath caressed his chest. He clapped his hands to shut off the lights and closed his eyes basking in the warm feeling resonating inside him, and fell asleep.

************** Around 1am, Hiei awoke to the feeling of warm wetness going back and forth across his chest, a blush gracing he cheeks. He looked down to see Akari placing butterfly kisses on his chest. Akari felt his gaze upon her and looked up at him. Hiei gasped softly at what he saw in her eyes.

Lust was clearly there, but also another strong emotion he could see clearly see along with it, but couldn't believe it. He was taken away from his musings by Akari placing her hand on his cheek and stroking it with her thumb.

"Hiei." she breathed his name with a smile.

Hiei grabbed her and began kissing her passionately. She tasted like strawberries. His tongue sought entrance to her mouth and she happily accepted it. Their tongues caressing each other while hands removed their clothing. He pulled away to look at her.

She was beautiful. Long, black hair that ached to be touch, shiny brown eyes, round, perky breasts, firm washboard stomach, down the thatch of silky black hair that guarded her treasure, long legs, and smooth and silky skin.

Hiei was just as beautiful to Akari. His red eyes drew her in, his spiky black hair was soft and silky to the touch, firm skin that covered muscles and sinews, strong arms, smooth chest and six-pack abs. She stared at his phallus.

*DAMN!! I guess big things DO come in small packages.* she said to herself.

She wrapped her hands around it and gently stroked from base to the head, her finger spreading the droplet of fluid around it. Hiei groaned and placed his hands on her breasts, caressing her nipples until they were taunt and hard. He leaned down and took one of the nipples in his mouth, his tongue stroking the nipple while his hand caressed her other breast and slid the fingers of his other hand inside her.

Akari moaned and moved against them, making sighs of pleasure at the sensations flooding her body. She continued to stroke him with one hand while the other reached other to caress and stroke the sac underneath. Their breaths came in pants as they continued to stroke and caress each other. Their lips met in another mind numbing kiss and the fell back on the bed with Hiei lying on top.

He sat up and parted her thighs. He laid back down upon her. Akari gasped as she felt his fingers parting her nether lips and the tip of his phallus at her entrance. He wrapped his arms around her and thrust inside, breaking her barrier. She gasped at the sharp pain, tears misted her eyes.

Hiei didn't move after the initial thrust. He kissed her tears away.

"I'm sorry, baby." he whispered in her ear as he nibbled it. She nodded feeling the pain subside to be replaced by a craving she never experience before. She arched and moved against him, moaning at the feeling of pleasure that followed. Hiei followed her example and started to thrust, slow and easy to make sure he wasn't hurting her.

Akari was in heaven. Hiei was making her feel things she never felt before with his body. She held him tightly as he continued moving in and out of her, moaning his name.

"Hiei, Hiei, Hiei.." she chanted and began to move against him and pretty soon, their bodies were in sync with each other. Hiei groaned and increased his pace as Akari wrapped her legs around his back, squeezing tightly.

"Oooooh, faster, harder!" Akari moaned as Hiei hit her womb again and again.

The feeling inside her built and built until it exploded. She screamed his name as she came. Hiei thrust two more times before her inner walls squeezed him so tightly that he screamed her name, pouring his seed inside her hot body.

He collapsed on top of her, their racing hearts beginning to slow. Hiei leaned up enough to capture her lips in a long kiss. He reluctantly pulled out of her and rolled over to the side of her.

Akaris snuggled against his side. Her leg placed over both of his, her head and arm rested on his chest.

Hiei wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. No words were said, only emotions communicated what each other was feeling. Deliriously happy and sated, they fell asleep.
