Disclaimer: I own nothing and this is that last time I'm going to tell you so. I do, however, own Kitsumi and Senko's baby. Not Senko. She is my lil sis's chacacter and I would feel guilty for stealing her.....=change of scenery if you didn't know. I know it's been a while and I'm very very very sorry for keeping you all waiting. Please forgive me.
Too Close For Comfort
Chapter 12: New couples
"What else are you here for, toddler?" Yusuke asked suspiciously. Normally on weekdays, the Rekei Ruler was in his office, busily doing paperwork. Koenma was silent for a moment, trying to come up with the right words to answer.
"Well, I'm-I am......" Koenma stuttered through his words, so Botan answered for him.
"He's taking me out." The blue-haired deity bubbled. Yusuke choked back his laughter and Kuwabara fell out of his seat. Keiko and Yukina were giggling uncontrollably.
"You're kidding! YOU and BOTAN?" Yusuke burst out into laughter.
"I always knew something was going on between you guys." Kuwabara smiled proudly.
"Why didn't you tell us, Botan?" Keiko asked with a giggle. Botan laughed a little before answering.
"I wanted it to be a surprise. It's only our sixth date after all."
"Well you certainly did keep it secretive. None of us had any idea or suspicion besides Kuwa-kun." Yukina said with a smile to Kuwabara.
"Yes, well, it really wasn't any of your business so I didn't think it would be necessary to tell you." Koenma said calmly.
Everyone looked to Kurama for his opinion. He was being unusually quiet. Usually he had an opinion about everything. However, he wasn't even paying attention to the converstaion, but was staring intently at Senko's/his bedroom door.
"Kurama, are you ok?" Keiko asked with concern. The male kitsune snapped his head in her direction, it was obvious he had been deep in thought.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just thinking..." His voice trailed off. Everyone then remembered that since he was to be a father, he had a lot on his mind. Silence filled the room and no one realized that Kurama's bedroom door opened.
"Did someone die?" Came a sleepy voice from behind Kurama on the couch. The gingikitsune turned his head and stared into the eyes of his mate. Senko looked from Kurama to Yusuke to Keiko to everyone else then back to the fox spirit with a questioning gaze.
"Is something the matter?" She asked, a little worried.
"No, everything is fine." Kurama assured her immediately.
"Then why is everyone being so quiet?" She asked with a bizarre look on her face.
"We're just thinking is all." Botan said, suddenly cheerful.
"Yeah, we just found out that these two," Yusuke said, motioning to Botan and Koenma. "Have been dating behind our backs."
"Oh really?" Senko said with an amused smile. "Well that's interesting since I was the one who suggested they date in the first place."
"You did? Well that's unfair. So I guess you knew about it all along then?" Keiko said with a sigh.
"I never thought they'd actaully do it." Senko said with an eyeroll. "I guess I can just be too persuasive sometimes." She finished with a smile to Kurama. He smiled back and the two locked eyes for a moment.
"I thought you were sleeping." Yukina said, breaking the silence.
"I was, but I decided I needed something soft to lay on so I came out here." She answered as she walked over and situated herself on her mate's lap. She rested her head on his chest and sighed peacefully. Kurama shifted to make her more comfortable then smiled a little.
"Awww!" Keiko, Yukina, and Botan sung simotaneously. Yusuke and Kuwabara made gagging noises.
"Did anyone notice that Kitsumi and Hiei aren't here?" Koenma asked.
"They went outside, I believe." Kurama said calmly.
"Hah, they're always with eachother." Kuwabara said with a grin. Yusuke pulled Keiko closer to him and surprisingly she made no attempt to pull away.
"They'll be back soon because it's going to rain." Everyone looked to the small neko youkai for an explantion but Senko had already closed her eyes. Kurama smiled down at her.
'She's so cute when she's alseep.' He mused silently to himself.
It was much cooler outside. Overcast and the clouds were a sickening light-gray. Just the way Kitsumi liked it. She'd always resented the sun becuase of the heat and light it brought. It always smelled sticky and hot. With clouds and rain there was always that special smell. The smell of coolness and life that would return back to the earth when it rained.
"Do you feel better?" Hiei asked, referring to her fever just a few days ago. Kitsumi looked at him and smiled a little.
"Yes, it's so cool out here." She answered as she looked back up at the sky. She could just walk with Hiei for hours in weather like this. In perfect silence and she would never feel awkward. She never had to talk to him when she didn't want to. Never had to explain her feelings or make excuses for the way she acted. It was one of the things she liked most about him. Hiei liked that about her too. All he had to do was look at her. He never had to talk to say what he wanted to. She understood him.
'It's 5:30 already. I wonder how far we've gone.' Kitsumi mused silently in her head. As she was looking up, Hiei noticed something new about the female kitsune. There was something black on her shoulder. It looked like a mark. He'd never noticed it before because either Kitsumi's long hair covered her shoulders or her shirt sleeves did. Only now that she was wearing a white spaghetti strap tank top and had her hair to one side did Hiei see it.
"What is that on your shoulder?" He asked as they both stopped walking. Kitsumi shrugged her shoulders.
"It's a tattoo." She answered simply. When Hiei looked at her questioningly she smirked at him.
"Here, I'll show you." Kitsumi turned her back to Hiei and pulled up the back of her shirt. She then unsnapped her black bra so that he could see the tattoo fully. Hiei was entranced by the design. It was a black serpant-like dragon engulfed in dark red and black hellfire. It's wings fanned out across Kitsumi's shoulders. Hiei follwed the design and found that the rest of the bottom of the tattoo disappeared into Kitsumi's realitively high-top shorts. The eyes of the dragon were souless and black. Tears of blood flowed from them as the dragon was devoured by the flames. Kitsumi knew exactly what the tattoo reminded Hiei of.
"Where did you get this?" Hiei asked. Kitsumi shrugged her shoulders a little.
"I don't remember." She paused for a moment then said, "Funny I remember how much it hurt but not where I got it." Hiei could not resist gently outlining the design with his fingers. Kitsumi relaxed instantly to his touch and sighed happily.
"You're a good masseuse." Kitsumi commented with playfullness in her voice. She felt Hiei smirk as he turned his head and placed his lips on her neck, circling invisible shapes with his tounge. Kitsumi purred and she felt Hiei smile against her skin. His tounge moved up and down her neck, leaving a trail of wet kisses behind. Everytime his mouth touched her flesh it was like he was lighting a fire. Hiei's hands roamed over Kitsumi's bare skin, and she shivered slightly. Slowly, his hands wandered to the front of her arms and he began to coax her shirt down farther. Hiei felt goosebumps begin to rise on the female kitune's arms. His hands returned to her shoulders and he slid her bra strap off gently, his kisses traveling down to her collar bone. Kitsumi moaned in response. Just as Hiei was about to remove her shirt, a cold and annoying wet drop of rain hit him on the nose. He looked at it cross eyed and heard Kitsumi giggle. He let go of her and concentrated on the offending droplet. Kitsumi laughed even harder.
"What's so funny?" Hiei asked almost dangerously as he focused his eyes back on her. When he saw the way she was he mentally cursed himself.
'Damn, one more slip and that shirt would've been off.'
"You just look so funny with your eyes crossed. But in a sexy funny kinda way." She added with a hint of reassurance in her voice. Hiei smirked at her.
"I hate the rain." He said as he wiped off the water on his nose and looked up at the sky. Kitsumi just stood there in front of him and he wondered if she intended to ever put her shirt back on.
"Don't worry I'll make it up to you when we get back to the house." Kitsumi said with a seductive smile. Hiei stood blinking at her.
"We should head back before the storm hits." She said, looking back at him. Hiei smirked a little and Kitsumi pulled her shirt back over her head, snapping her bra back together once her shirt was on. The rain picked up speed.
"How far do you think we are from the house?" Kitsumi asked, watching the rain drops land on Hiei's face and slide off.
"Far enough that by the time we get there we'll be soaked." He answered, shaking his head so some of the water would be off.
Kitsumi sighed and looked at her already transperant tank top.
"This was not the day to wear an all white shirt." She said with another sigh. Hiei looked at her and smirked.
"I think you look fine. And I mean that in both ways." He said in a teasing tone. Kitsumi laughed at him as he came over to her and picked her up bridal style.
"I have feet you know." She said in a defiant tone. She was not the kind of girl to be waited on hand and foot like most.
"I know, but I like carrying you." Hiei said as he flitted off into the forest with her in his arms.
By the time Hiei and Kitsumi reached their destination, Koenma and Botan had already left for their date. Neither the ferry girl nor the Rekai Ruler revealed where they were going. Hiei was positively soaked as was the female kitune he was carrying. Hiei walked up to the porch, which luck enogh for them, had a porch light and a roof. Looking down at the kitsune in his arms, he saw that Kitsumi was asleep, her ears twitching every few seconds. He wondered how she could sleep with the storm raging on. It was already 9:00 p.m.
"Kitsumi? Wake up." He whispered to her. Kitsumi's eyes fluttered open and she looked up at Hiei.
"I was dreaming you know. What do you want?" She asked in an annoyed tone.
"We're here. And I need you to get out of my arms now." Hiei said in a teasing voice. Kitsumi rolled her eyes and hopped out of Hiei's arms. The fire demon smirked at her and opened the door. Everyone turned their heads to see the two standing there, drenched in rain-water. Yusuke and Kuwabara tried to stifle their laughter.
"I see you didn't escape the storm." Kurama commented, giving a nod to Kitsumi. The female kitsune glared at her brother.
"Apparently not." Hiei said sarcastically.
"Welcome back you guys." Keiko and Yukina greeted the two with wide smiles.
"Yea, thanks." Kitsumi said with a small smile. Hiei just 'hned'. ?"
"Kitsumi, please, put a shirt on." Kurama said with his face in his hands. Kitsumi looked at him then stuck out her tounge.
The group laughed as Kitsumi walked over to Kurama and bopped him on the head.
"So where'd you guys go?" Yusuke asked with a grin.
"Out." Hiei answered plainly in a tone that stated he wouldn't discuss it any further.
"You gusy were gone a long time, we were almost worried about you." Senko commented. (She's awake now.) Kitsumi nodded her head towards her friend and looked at the others. She finally found out that someone was missing.
"Where's bubble girl?" She asked, walking over to another chair and sitting down. Hiei followed her and sat on the arms rest. There were a few small chuckles before Kuwabara answered.
"They went on a date!" He said with a laugh. Hiei and Kitsumi sweat-dropped.
"You're kidding me." Kitsumi managed to say without laughing.
"No, the just left." Yukina replied through a giggle.
"That's interesting. Senko, didn't you tell them to go out?" Kitsumi asked with a raised eyebrow. Senko nodded with an evil grin. The female kitsune laughed at her friend.
"They've actually been going out for a while and we didn't even know about it." Keiko said with a giggle.
"Really? I wonder how Botan kept her big mouth shut." Hiei said sarcastically. Kitsumi looked at the fire youkai and smirked. She stood up and walked to the hallway.
"Where are you going?" Hiei asked, not looking at her.
"Shower." She said with a yawn. Hiei shook his head as he heard the bathroom door close. He got up himself and walked down the hallway to his room. No need to stay in soaking wet clothes.
"So what do you think they did while they were gone?" Yusuke asked in a hushed tone.
"Who knows." Kurama said shrugging his shoulders. "but it really isn't any of our business.
"I think they probably-" Kuwabara was cut off from his elaborate rambling by Yukina who jabbed him in the arm with her elbow.
"Kuwa-kun, it's not nice to talk about people when they are not present." She said in a sweet yet dangerous tone. Kuwabara rubbed his arm and nodded his head.
"Yes, my love." Yukina smiled at him. Keiko turned to Yusuke.
"Do you think they really did do 'it'?" She asked with a worried glance towards the bathroom door. Yusuke looked at his girlfriend, (no more denying Yusuke)a little shocked by the way she was talking. He shrugged his shoulders and scooched closer to her.
"I just hope Kitsumi doesn't end up like me." Senko said with a sigh. Everyone looked at her with shocked faces. Besides Kurama, who was squeezing her hand.
The lemon will appear in its own chapter because I feel it should be that way. Review if you wnat or don't. It really doesn't matter.
