Sunlight shone into the vast bedroom. On the bed laid two enamored creatures. In the night, both have intertwined themselves into each other. The placid sunshine gently hit Kurama's face. He slowly opened his eyes and took in his surroundings. He felt so relaxed and content. Strange, he usually woke up in Yomi's arms. He felt something warm cradled against his chest. He looked down and saw Hiei. Memories flooded back of what they did last night. It brought a smile to his face. He slumped back into the bed and pulled Hiei closer.
Kurama stayed like that with Hiei buried in his chest for a while. Hiei snuggled his chest more and moaned. Slowly Hiei opened his eyes too. Hiei got up and looked at Kurama groggily. Suddenly Hiei pinched Kurama's nipple. Kurama gasped and slapped Hiei.
"Hiei!" The slap woke Hiei up.
"Hn. That hurt." Hiei groaned.
"Why'd you do that?!"
"I thought I was dreaming." Kurama was still rubbing his sore nipple. Hiei licked his lips.
"I'll make it up to you." Hiei brought his lips and kissed Kurama's nipple. He then licked it and lightly grasped it with his teeth. Kurama couldn't help but moan. Hiei pushed Kurama down on the bed. Hiei kissed up Kurama's chest and reached his mouth. Kurama pulled him in for a deep and long kiss. They lay wrapped in each other's arms and lost in the kiss. Then they parted for breath.
"Do you always have the urge to pinch something when you wake up, koi?" Kurama asked.
"No. I told you, I thought I was dreaming again."
"Again? Does that mean you always dream about me?"
"Hn. Don't flatter yourself, I always dream."
"Oh? And what do we do in these dreams?" Hiei blushed.
"Nothing." Kurama smiled. Hiei was such a horrible liar. He pulled Hiei in for a hug. After a while, they got up, took a shower together and then parted ways. Hiei had some other minor errands to run for Mukuro in Gandara.
Something bothered Kurama but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Kurama grew more and more worried. 'Why did this nagging feeling linger in my mind?' He pushed the thought away. 'Why should I worry about this now? I finally have Hiei. Oh, I love waking up with Hiei. It's so serene. Usually when I wake up in Yomi's-' Kurama stopped his trail of thought abruptly.
"Yomi!" Kurama cried to no one in particular. A sudden fear clutched his heart. 'Oh no. I slept with Hiei last night. I usually spend every night in Yomi's bed. No. What if he thought I ran away and ........................killed my mother? NO!' Kurama quickly made a dash to Yomi's office. He slammed the door open. There was Yomi, sitting calmly in his armchair.
"Yomi." Kurama cried. Yomi raised an eyebrow and looked up from his paperwork.
"Kurama. How nice of you to visit. You never visited me before unless I called you. Sit down. Close the door." Yomi spoke in a cool temper. Kurama closed the door, and then sat down. 'Is he being sardonic? Did he just order someone to kill my mother and now he's speaking to me like nothing happened?'
"My mother. What did you do to her?" Kurama asked, anger rising.
"She's fine. You know I promised not to touch her if you stayed here as a good and loyal friend." Yomi smiled. Kurama was confused. Did Yomi not notice that he was gone last night? Maybe he was too busy with work and didn't go to bed last night. Yes that had to be it. Yomi didn't know! Kurama inwardly rejoiced.
"Of course. I was just wondering if you could send the tape any sooner. I miss my mother." Kurama said smoothly.
"You know you'll get it at the end of the week, like all the other times. And I'll send out your letter to her this month as well." Yomi said.
"Oh yes, thank you." Kurama got up to leave.
"Of course you might not even get that tape, being she might not make it to the end of this week." Yomi said coldly. Kurama stopped dead in his tracks. Fear gripped his heart again. He slowly turned around to face Yomi. He faced an icy glare.
"What do you mean? I hadn't disobeyed you." Kurama said lightheartedly. He didn't like the cold aura around Yomi.
"Oh? That's strange. I was walking along the second floor last night. You know, near the vacant bedrooms. Guess what I heard?" Kurama froze. Trepidation seized his body.
"I heard moans. I thought it was just some low level demons fucking. So I left them alone. When I returned to my room, you weren't there. So I looked around for you. I was going to order your mother's death, when I passed by the bedroom again. Then I heard someone cry Hiei's name. I was amused that Hiei would actually get a lay. I was going to barge in and ruin his fun, but guess what I saw?" Yomi paused, his face getting very serious. 'Oh no. Hiei and I were so engrossed in each other that I didn't even sense Yomi near the door!' Kurama scolded himself.
"I don't know." Kurama lied.
"Don't play dumb, Kurama. It was you fucking him!" Yomi yelled. His youki flared about him. The sudden increase in youki scared Kurama a bit. Kurama moved into a defensive stance. Then, Yomi chuckled, and then cackled. He calmed down and the youki surrounding him decreased.
"Oh, fox. You actually think you could defend yourself against me? Willing to fight to the death? Ah, still defiant." Yomi looked a little psychotic. In an instant, Yomi had Kurama pinned against the wall, his arms crushing Kurama's wrists. Kurama made a choked cry. Yomi was very strong.
"Oh, but I can't kill you. That would put everything I've done in the past months to waste." Yomi chuckled. "Ah, Kurama, do you know why I haven't killed your mother yet?"
"No. Why?" Kurama managed to cry out. He felt like his hands were about to fall off. Yomi was gripping him so harshly. Yomi laughed.
"To give you a choice! I'm not so cold hearted to kill the two things you love." Yomi said. 'Two things? My mother and... Hiei?'
"No!" Kurama cried.
"I think I've been generous enough to you for the past months. I let your mother live. I let YOU live. I even let you watch her and let you write to her! I could have taken you when I first saw you, but no, I wanted you to submit to me. It was a game that I was supposed to win!" Yomi paused. He took a breath. "This is my last generous offer. I'll let both Hiei and your mother live if you crush Hiei's heart and then give yourself to me."
"What kind of offer is that? You might as well force me!" Kurama spat.
"But forcing you would end the game. I want to win this, the only way to do so would be if you were willing." Yomi said.
"You're still forcing me."
"Well, in a way yes, but it's not rape. But you can walk away from all this. I'll kill Hiei and your mother if you refuse, but you'll walk away from Gandara a free demon."
"What kind of fucked up proposition is that?" Kurama snarled.
"It's your choice. You can put your welfare before your loved ones, or sacrifice yourself. After all, when you love someone, you're willing to sacrifice yourself, right? Even if I beat or rape you, you'll still put up with it, for your mother?" Kurama's eyes narrowed.
"You've been watching me." Kurama said coldly.
"Of course. I knew about you and Hiei for a long time. I thought victory would taste better when I had you before Hiei. It never occurred to me that I would lose." Kurama stayed quiet. How could he choose? Kurama's mind was in complete commotion. What could he do in a dilemma like this?
"I'll give you until tonight to give me an answer." Yomi released his grip on Kurama's hands. Kurama left Yomi's office, with a million mixed emotions swallowing him up.

Kurama ran. He ran to the only place where he found solace. The garden. When he had first came, the garden seemed so lifeless and artificial. After spending months tending to the garden, it had started to resemble a tropical rainforest. He ran to the trunk of one of the trees and cried his heart out. He had so many bottled up emotions and fears inside, he had to let it out. The plant life surrounded him, as if trying to cradle and comfort him. He must have stayed there like that for an hour.
After Kurama controlled his emotions, he walked to the lake, stripped off his clothes and jumped in. He remembered the first time he was in the lake. It was with Hiei when they had that water fight. Other fond memories had found their way to the surface of his brain. Not only of Hiei, but of his mother too. Everything she had done with him, how much she loved him, all the sacrifices she made with dealing with such a troublesome child. How could Kurama let Yomi kill them? But, how could he give himself to Yomi? Especially right after Hiei and him made love? Was there no escape from all this? Kurama waddled in the water, trying to gather his thoughts.
How could he crush Hiei's heart? After all their months together, he had tried to show Hiei how powerful love was. Maybe Hiei was right. Maybe love did make you weak. After all, it's brought him nothing but pain and grief. He never had any of these feelings when he was the youko. He made a decision and stuck to it, he never questioned his motives or morals. When did his life become so complicated? Kurama stayed in the garden for the rest of the day. When evening rolled around, Kurama was still unsure of what to do. He could kill himself and turn back into the youko and leave Hiei and his mother. But that would make him a coward, a common demon, escaping whenever it was convenient. He was Youko Kurama. He never backed down from a challenge and never lost any games either. However, it seemed he was going to lose this one.
Kurama was still walking around still lost into his thoughts when he bumped into Hiei. He was the last person Kurama wanted to face right now. How could he tell Hiei that if he didn't give himself to Yomi, Yomi would kill him? It would hurt to lose Hiei and it would hurt him if he crushed Hiei's heart, but it would hurt a lot more if he were dead. But, he could love Hiei from afar. Hiei would be better off not being mixed up in his life anyway.
Kurama didn't smile when he faced Hiei. Hiei instantly wrapped his arms around Kurama. The fox wanted to melt in his arms right away. He wanted to kiss him and tell him how much he loved him, but he couldn't. Hiei wondered why Kurama didn't return the intimate gesture. Kurama, using all his will, controlled his emotions, and glared at Hiei.
"Fox, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Kurama said impassively.
"Are you okay?" Hiei asked.
"Fine. I've never been better." Hiei let go of Kurama. 'Something happened. The fox is acting so cold towards me.' Hiei thought. Only one thing could make Kurama act this way.
"Is it Yomi? Did he find out? Did you tell him about us?"
"Please, Hiei. Like I would ever tell anyone I've slept with you." Kurama scoffed. Hiei felt his heart clench. He stared into Kurama's emotionless mask.
"It's Yomi. What did he do to you?"
"Would you like to know what we did? You're so interested in what Yomi and I do?" Kurama continued to look at Hiei with a cold stare. Hiei regretted asking. "We fucked, Hiei, right after I left you." Kurama said, without a hint of emotion in his voice. Hiei didn't believe him. Just then, Yomi turned the corner and saw Hiei and Kurama. He approached them. Hiei glared at him when he felt his incoming presence.
"Yomi." Kurama said, a little surprised. Yomi smiled.
"Kurama, what are you and the brat doing in this remote hallway?"
"We're talking, go away you old fart." Hiei said.
"Really, what about?" Yomi put his arm around Kurama's waist and pulled him close. Kurama didn't resist. Yomi smiled. 'Good. He's accepted my offer.' Yomi thought. Hiei's eyes widened. 'Is it true? Are they really....' Hiei didn't want to finish that thought.
"Take your hands off him." Hiei threatened.
"Oh? And what will you do to me if I don't?" Yomi challenged. Yomi placed his other hand on Kurama's cheek and caressed it with his thumb. Kurama once again didn't pull away. Hiei hissed.
"Kurama, tell him to fuck off." Kurama didn't respond. Kurama turned his head so he wouldn't have to see Hiei's face. He knew if he saw Hiei, he would push Yomi away.
"Brat, can't you tell when you've been beaten? You might have had him once, but he came crying back to me, begging to take him back. He wanted a real demon to fuck him, not a sniveling child.' Yomi spat. Hiei felt his anger rise. He was going to beat the shit out of that six-eared freak, when Yomi pulled Kurama's lips close and kissed him. It wasn't a small kiss; Yomi shoved his tongue down the fox's throat. Kurama thought he was going to puke. Resisting the urge to gag, Kurama wrapped his arms around Yomi's neck and deepened the kiss, opening his mouth more. Hiei was in complete shock. He felt his heart shatter into a million tiny pieces. Yomi peeked open an eye and saw the heart-broken expression in Hiei's face. Yomi inwardly smiled. Hiei clenched his fist; he wanted to kill Kurama for betraying him. Instead of carrying out that plan, he escaped through the window. He couldn't watch anymore of that.
Kurama tried to break the kiss when he felt Hiei depart, but Yomi kept a tight grip on his body. He backed them up until Kurama was up against the wall. Yomi pulled Kurama's shirt out of his pants and ran his hands up his chest. Kurama managed to bite down hard on the invading tongue and Yomi finally let him go. Kurama roughly pushed him away. Yomi couldn't help grinning.
"I take it you accepted my offer?"
"Yes." Kurama spat. "After you've had me you'll let Hiei and my mother live, right?"
"After I've had you? No, pet, after I'm finished with you." Yomi said. Kurama looked at Yomi with hate in his eyes. Never had he ever felt such hatred for anyone else in his life. Kurama tucked in his shirt and straightened himself out. He had just given himself over to Yomi, to be his sex slave for the rest of his human life. Anger, frustration, and hatred were swelling in his heart. Yomi, sensing Kurama's increasing hostility, backed off a little.
"I have a few more tasks to complete. I expect you to be in my bed tonight. If you've changed your mind, I'll make good on my promise to kill both your mother and Hiei." Yomi said. He gave Kurama a little kiss on his lips before leaving. Kurama harshly wiped it off his lips. He needed some way to vent his anger. If he kept it contained any longer, he would change back to his demon form and challenge Yomi. He decided to take up one of Hiei's usual routine and seek out random demons to fight. This way by nightfall, Kurama would be able to control his emotions.
Hiei ran far away from the city. He couldn't bear to be near Kurama anymore. Why did this happen? They were so happy one minute, so heart- broken the next. Did Kurama enjoy playing with his heart? He knew he should have left his feelings for Kurama a long time ago. Why did he let himself be fooled by Kurama? Humans weren't that much different than demons. They also manipulate and lie. Why shouldn't Kurama? Kurama had betrayed him, like almost all other demons, but why couldn't he bring himself to hate him? Hiei was still fleeing, when he remembered he forgot some papers for Mukuro back in his room. Hiei cursed and returned to the city to pick them up. He planned to leave quickly, but something caught his eye. His room had a direct view of Yomi's room, and the shades were wide open. If Hiei had any doubt that Kurama was lying, the scene in front of him crushed those doubts.
A few moments before Hiei saw Yomi and Kurama
Kurama lied motionless on the bed. Yomi climbed on top and ripped all his clothes off. He proceeded to run his hands up and down his torso, and then stopped. He climbed off Kurama and sat by him. 'Hm? What's wrong?' Kurama thought. He turned his head to look at Yomi.
"Oh, pet, this won't do. You're just lying there."
"What's the problem? I'm not fighting you, am I?" Kurama said.
"No, but you're supposed to please me, not the other way around." Yomi said. He then lied down on his back and waited for Kurama to take the initiative. Kurama froze.
Kurama could deal with letting Yomi ravishing him, but please Yomi, like a common whore? Could he do that? Could he swallow his pride and Yomi's...' Kurama didn't want to finish that thought.
"Fine, if you don't want to do it, you can leave and I'll just kill your mother and Hiei." Yomi said plainly, like it was the most natural thing in the world. Yomi started to get up.
"Wait." Kurama said hesitantly. Slowly, Kurama straddled Yomi's hips and pushed him back onto the bed. Kurama brought his lips to Yomi's neck and started to kiss him. 'Just pretend he's Hiei.' Kurama told himself.
When Kurama was riding Yomi, Yomi tilted his head to look out the window. Sure enough, Hiei was staring back at them mouth agape. Yomi smirked back at Hiei. Hiei had never felt so angry before in his entire life. Then to his horror, Kurama bucked and released onto Yomi. Hiei fled from the building with the documents in his hand.
Kurama wasn't aware of the show he had given Hiei. Yomi couldn't have felt happier that Kurama had just given Hiei every reason to hate him, and he wasn't even aware of it. He was certain that those two would never have any chances together again. The fox was now entirely his.

Sunlight shone into the vast bedroom. On the bed laid two enamored creatures. In the night, both have intertwined themselves into each other. The placid sunshine gently hit Kurama's face.

"Hn. That hurt." Hiei groaned.
"Why'd you do that?!"
"I thought I was dreaming." Kurama was still rubbing his sore nipple. Hiei licked his lips.
"I'll make it up to you." Hiei brought his lips and kissed Kurama's nipple. He then licked it and lightly grasped it with his teeth. Kurama couldn't help but moan. Hiei pushed Kurama down on the bed. Hiei kissed up Kurama's chest and reached his mouth. Kurama pulled him in for a deep and long kiss. They lay wrapped in each other's arms and lost in the kiss. Then they parted for breath.
"Do you always have the urge to pinch something when you wake up, koi?" Kurama asked.
"No. I told you, I thought I was dreaming again."
"Again? Does that mean you always dream about me?"
"Hn. Don't flatter yourself, I always dream."
"Oh? And what do we do in these dreams?" Hiei blushed.
"Nothing." Kurama smiled. Hiei was such a horrible liar. He pulled Hiei in for a hug. After a while, they got up, took a shower together and then parted ways. Hiei had some other minor errands to run for Mukuro in Gandara.

Yomi pulled Kurama's shirt out of his pants and ran his hands up his chest. Kurama managed to bite down hard on the invading tongue and Yomi finally let him go. Kurama roughly pushed him away. Yomi couldn't help grinning.
"I take it you accepted my offer?"
"Yes." Kurama spat. "After you've had me you'll let Hiei and my mother live, right?"
"After I've had you? No, pet, after I'm finished with you." Yomi said. Kurama looked at Yomi with hate in his eyes. Never had he ever felt such hatred for anyone else in his life. Kurama tucked in his shirt and straightened himself out. He had just given himself over to Yomi, to be his sex slave for the rest of his human life. Anger, frustration, and hatred were swelling in his heart. Yomi, sensing Kurama's increasing hostility, backed off a little.
"I have a few more tasks to complete. I expect you to be in my bed tonight. If you've changed your mind, I'll make good on my promise to kill both your mother and Hiei." Yomi said. He gave Kurama a little kiss on his lips before leaving. Kurama harshly wiped it off his lips. He needed some way to vent his anger. If he kept it contained any longer, he would change back to his demon form and challenge Yomi. He decided to take up one of Hiei's usual routine and seek out random demons to fight. This way by nightfall, Kurama would be able to control his emotions.
Hiei ran far away from the city. He couldn't bear to be near Kurama anymore. Why did this happen? They were so happy one minute, so heart- broken the next. Did Kurama enjoy playing with his heart? He knew he should have left his feelings for Kurama a long time ago. Why did he let himself be fooled by Kurama? Humans weren't that much different than demons. They also manipulate and lie. Why shouldn't Kurama? Kurama had betrayed him, like almost all other demons, but why couldn't he bring himself to hate him? Hiei was still fleeing, when he remembered he forgot some papers for Mukuro back in his room. Hiei cursed and returned to the city to pick them up. He planned to leave quickly, but something caught his eye. His room had a direct view of Yomi's room, and the shades were wide open. If Hiei had any doubt that Kurama was lying, the scene in front of him crushed those doubts.
A few moments before Hiei saw Yomi and Kurama
Kurama lied motionless on the bed. Yomi climbed on top and ripped all his clothes off. He proceeded to run his hands up and down his torso, and then stopped. He climbed off Kurama and sat by him. 'Hm? What's wrong?' Kurama thought. He turned his head to look at Yomi.
"Oh, pet, this won't do. You're just lying there."
"What's the problem? I'm not fighting you, am I?" Kurama said.
"No, but you're supposed to please me, not the other way around." Yomi said. He then lied down on his back and waited for Kurama to take the initiative. Kurama froze.
Kurama could deal with letting Yomi ravishing him, but please Yomi, like a common whore? Could he do that? Could he swallow his pride and Yomi's...' Kurama didn't want to finish that thought.
"Fine, if you don't want to do it, you can leave and I'll just kill your mother and Hiei." Yomi said plainly, like it was the most natural thing in the world. Yomi started to get up.
"Wait." Kurama said hesitantly. Slowly, Kurama straddled Yomi's hips and pushed him back onto the bed. Kurama brought his lips to Yomi's neck and started to kiss him. 'Just pretend he's Hiei.' Kurama told himself.
When Kurama was riding Yomi, Yomi tilted his head to look out the window. Sure enough, Hiei was staring back at them mouth agape. Yomi smirked back at Hiei. Hiei had never felt so angry before in his entire life. Then to his horror, Kurama bucked and released onto Yomi. Hiei fled from the building with the documents in his hand.
Kurama wasn't aware of the show he had given Hiei. Yomi couldn't have felt happier that Kurama had just given Hiei every reason to hate him, and he wasn't even aware of it. He was certain that those two would never have any chances together again. The fox was now entirely his.
