(Hiei's POV)

"Kurama stop it!!" I told him as he started to rub his hands all over me. It was creepy . . . he was moving so fast but his touch seemed to linger . . .

I lifted my hand to push him away, but I stopped to quickly wipe away some drool.

"YOU LOVE ME YOU LOVE ME, HODI!!!" He sang as his hands reached all the way around me and pulled me off the chair. Both of us fell to the floor with a loud 'THUMP.'

"OUCH! NO I DON'T!!!!" I yelled at him as his hands found my waist and moved around me. "AND MY NAME'S HIEI!!"

"That's what I said! OH! I wish that mean lady wasn't here! Let's leave! OR THROW HER OUT!" Kurama suggested as his arms hugged me tighter. My chest got closer to his than I thought it could. He had a very nice chin . . . it was perfectly sized, not too big, not to small. BUT THAT WASN'T THE POINT!

He was acting just like a little kid! Only . . . really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY, really, really . . . really . . . really, really REEEAAAALLLLY, PER-VERT-ED!

"Kurama we can't! She's your mother and we have to explain things to her so please just act serious and help me!!" I pled as he lifted me up to be at his eye level. He gazed at me softly and caring . . . his eyes sparkled with something. Whatever that something was it almost made me wish that I wasn't so cold, that I was more caring. That I cared more for him, so I could spend all of time with him . . . looking at those beautiful, sparkling eyes.

"Hiei, you're eyes are so nice right now." He told me. He seemed to be as lost as I was . . . he was so attractive. So attractive, but not sexually (well not just) . . . damn. I didn't like this, not one bit. I never felt so attracted to Kurama before, why now?

Kurama never used to be so dependant on me. . . I was the own who relied on him more. He never acted as though he was stronger than I was . . . and he was never so perverted.

Did I want someone who was aggressively perverted and yet depended on me for everything? That didn't seem like me . . . what was it?

Whatever it was it made me almost want to keep this Kurama. If the old one never came back I could have him all to myself.

But wait, I didn't love him!! He was only a friend. He WAS only a friend. He wasn't only a friend now. He was . . . he was . . .

"THAT'S IT YOU DIRTY, DIRTY MAN, GIVE ME BACK MY SON- AHHH!!!"

I was jolted back to reality to find Kurama and I were wrapped up in each other, shirtless, and making out on the kitchen floor.

Kurama rolled us over so that he was on top of me and whispered, "Don't worry, Hiei." He winked and kissed me quickly before standing up and facing his mother. He moved gracefully, like he used too.

He was . . . truly perfect.

"What's going on here!?" Shiori demanded as I came to my feet and stood a few feet behind Kurama.

"Mother, don't worry, everything is okay. I was in an accident, as you can see," Kurama started as he pointed to the bandages on his chest. "Hiei here saved me. And mother, like it or not, I love him. I will weather you do approve or not." He said as he turned to give me a smile and then back to his mother a stern and serious look.

I couldn't help but feel a little good about myself. Forget that this woman wanted to rip me apart, stitch me back together, and then boil me to a crisp. I was loved by the famous Yoko Kurama! How funny.

DAMN IT! I was thinking crazy!! That didn't matter to me, it didn't make me feel happy, it didn't make my heart pound and my cheeks blush, it didn't mean I loved him back!

"So . . . you do remember who you are Shuichi?" Shiori asked as she walked over closer to Kurama and looked him in the eyes.

"Yes, of course mother. Hiei only calls me Kurama because it stands for something."

"What does it stand for?"

"Err . . . Caring, Understanding, Radiant, Adorable, Magnificent, A- . . . uhh . . . Achievement." Kurama said as I quickly ran over to him, grabbed him by the arm and dragged him away for a moment.

"KURAMA, it's starts with a 'K' not a 'C'!" I whispered to him.

"Well if I didn't know she won't!" He replied, whispering as well.

". . . Good point." And with that he returned to stand in front of his mother.

"Why does he call you that?" Shiori asked as she gave me a funny look. I could see it, now she didn't want to kill me she just wanted to laugh! That was just as bad! This was embarrassing . . . I didn't like it.

"He- . . . uhh . . . well it's simple because he thinks that I'm a caring, understanding, radiant, adorable, magnificent achievement. Yeah. . ." Kurama answered giving a smile.

"Okay. And- . . . well- . . . Shuichi, why didn't you ever tell me you were gay?"

I felt like grabbing my shirt and running for the hills. This wasn't my idea of fun. Nope.

". . . . . . . . . . . . Because I didn't know."

"You didn't know? HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW!?"

"Well I was bi until I found out just how hot guys can be!!" He yelled as he pointed over at me. He then got a thoughtful look on his face. Uh-oh. He ran over to me, grabbed my shoulders and pushed me over in front of Shiori. "Just look at him mother!" He said as he reached around my neck and grabbed my chin. "WHAT A CUTE FACE! And look at these muscles!" He told her as he began to touch all over me.

"Well . . . honey I still don't want you to be getting involved in anything sexual with him. You're still far too young." She said as she gave Kurama a look. Kurama sadly took his hands off of me and then looked to the floor.

"I understand mother. Well Hiei, it looks like . . . well . . . I- . . . I just feel so bad about this. I'M TERRIBLE! WHAT WILL THE BABY THINK WHEN IT SEEMS AS THOUGH WE DON'T LOVE EACH OTHER!?" Kurama yelled as he pretended to cry. I knew he wasn't really crying, but he did a good job. He dropped to his knees and started to cry in my chest. I looked over to give Shiori an innocent look when I saw she had the most shocked and surprised look on her face I'd ever seen.

"BABY!!!??? BUT- HOW-!!"

"Oh mother, I knew you'd have to find out one day . . ." Now what was that idiot going to lie about? He was taking this all a little too far. It was insane!! NOT TO MENTION THAT WE WEREN'T EVEN A COUPLE! I could only guess what crazy thing he'd come up with this time. What, 'Oh mother, I knew you'd have to find out one day . . . I'm really a girl.' Or, '. . . I found a baby on our doorstep last year and I've been hiding him and raising him with Hiei and you've never found out.' I was curious what'd he come up with. "A girl from school got herself pregnant and didn't know what to do. She didn't have the money or time to raise a child, so I told her I'd take the baby when it was born. I figured because Hiei and I were married it would be easier for us to raise it. Besides, we both knew we could never have children, however we both wanted the experience, so we figured why not?"

Shiori stood with her mouth open and a totally stunned look on her face. She looked like she might pass out any second.

"YOU'RE MARRIED!!!!??? HOW AND WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN!!!! HOW LONG HAVE YOU TWO EVEN KNOWN EACH OTHER!!?"

"Oh mother we've known each other for a long time, since that car crash."

". . . Didn't that happen this morning?"

"O-. . . oh. Well . . . after Hiei saved me . . . he and I decided to get married . . . and after we did that . . . I went to school . . . and told the girl I'd raise her kid."

"And- . . . this all happened while I was getting groceries?"

"Yes."

And for once I was right. Shiori fell over and fainted.

"Uhh . . . Kurama I think you over did it there with the lies." I told him and he and I walked over to her. He picked her up in his arms and started for the living room. I hurried after him.

"That's what I was trying to do. I knew the only way to get away from her would be to get her knocked out somehow. Hence my plan: to make up the most heartbreaking things for a mother to here." Kurama explained as he laid his mother on the sofa and started to walk back to the kitchen. I hurried after him.

"Why did you have to pick all the things that involved me?" I asked giving him a scowl.

"What would be more shocking to a mother than to have her hear that her son just got married to a man that he only knew for a couple of hours and didn't tell her?"

I hated to admit it but he had a good point.

"Kurama . . ." I started as he walked over to me and look me in the eye.

"Yes?" He asked slowly seductively.

"That was pretty good. Now we don't even have to explain about you not knowing who anyone is." I said as I looked away.

"I know all I need to know. You're Hiei, and I love you." He said putting his arms behind my neck and leaned in towards me slowly. He stopped just before his lips and mine reached each other. "Hiei, are you really going to let me just kiss you? I thought you'd put up a fight at least. Are you surrendering to me? Are you mine now?" I didn't have any answers. He was Kurama . . . he was my best friend! My only friend! How could I possibly risk that? What if I said yes and it didn't work out? What if we ended up hating each other? I wondered, was there such a thing as loving someone enough not to be with them? "You're eyes are still pretty. You have a lot on your mind. I'll leave you alone for now I guess."

"Thank god . . ." I sighed to myself.

"I HEARD THAT! I guess I'll just spoil it for you now, as soon as I get a good chance Hiei I'm going to take you, and I'm going to claim you. And there's nothing and I mean nothing you can do to stop me!" He told me as he walked over, bent down, picked up my shirt and threw it at me as he then started to put on his own.

Oh crap. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.

"Okay, now we're really going to see Yusuke."

I needed to ditch Kurama on someone for a little while. I needed some time to think by myself! If I tried to do that thinking around here Kurama might try and fill out his plan!

"Oh goody! Would he mind us having sex at his house?"

I started to blush. I don't think he was kidding.
