See? It pays to review lol . . .
Ok, jus looked at what I jus wrote . . . this chappie will get a lil . . . ah . . . steamy. ^-^;;;
Gomen . . . you've been warned . . .
Starts out in Yusuke's POV . . . AGAIN . . . (-.-;; yes, I know what you're thinking . . . I'm sooo creative with my beginnings, right? lol ^-^;;;;)
*~*~*~*~*~*
Well, this was new. I felt a warm feeling on my forehead as I sat there, trying to 'meditate' as the old lady had put it . . . she was sitting in front of me, barking commands for whenever I got 'lazy' . . . heh. Stupid basaan . . . the warmth on my forehead intensified, until I couldn't bear it any longer. My hand quickly reached up and ripped away the cloth . . . and I suddenly felt much better. The cool breeze eased the headache I was getting . . .
'Dimwit.' I heard, and, recognizing the voice, looked up at the old, pink-haired lady in front of me. Her eyes were still closed, and, for some reason, I was also seeing her from a greater height . . . I shrugged it off, until I heard her next words . . .
'I can only hope that the curse will fade soon . . . if it doesn't, the second stage of it may start to occur . . .'
"What the heck are you talkin' 'bout, basaan? What second part??" Startled, her eyes flew open and she was now staring at me in utter shock.
"What did you, say, Yusuke??" She asked, visibly forcing her tone to remain calm. I narrowed my eyes in annoyance and anger.
"You heard me, Genkai. What second part." I repeated coldly. She shook her head, wide-eyed . . . and it slowly began to dawn on me . . . with a shiver I realized what I was hearing as her next thoughts became clear to my mind . . .
'So . . . the curse has progressed into its second stage, after all . . .'
~*~_Kurama's POV_~*~
Something was definitely wrong. I could feel it as I looked into Hiei's confused brown eyes . . . but d—n, what WAS it that made his eyes look so open and young??
"Hiei—"I began after a long silence, but he put a finger to my lips to stop the words. Mildly surprised, I decided to listen to what he had to say, still a little unnerved by the fact my fighting partner's eyes were at the same level as mine.
"No, fox . . ." he said quietly, even more pain shadowing those intense eyes as he spoke with our friend's voice . . . "Let's go to the tantei's house to discuss this . . ." I nodded after a moment, and he walked ahead of me, but I caught the arm of the green uniform. He looked back at me over his shoulder with a glare, though the brown eyes slightly softened the intensity.
"Nani."
"Hiei . . . do you KNOW where Yusuke's house IS?" He reddened very slightly and looked away with a 'hn'. I sweatdropped, guessing the truth and stepping to his side, starting to walk in the right direction.
*~*~*~*~*
I, more or less, (^^;) led Hiei back to the Urameshi apartment. He fumbled in his pockets for the key, then found it and walked inside. I stayed on the doorstep, not sure if I should—
"Are you COMING, kitsune." He asked impatiently, standing sideways in the hall.
"Hai!" I said quickly, darting inside and closing the door. He stood leaning against the wall, waiting for me to get my shoes off. Finally, I had to bend down to be rid of the stupid things, and had just finished when I thought I felt something lightly touch my hair. I glanced behind me in a moment, only to find the tall frame of the teen boy leaning over my hunched form, his face inches from mine . . .
"Need any help, Kurama?" He asked. I shook my head hastily, a little nervous for some reason . . .
"Iie . . . but thank you, Hiei." He 'hn'ed and straightened, then tromped upstairs to Yusuke's room. I followed, finding (when I walked in) that he was sitting, cross-legged, on the edge of the bed. I made to sit down in a chair, but he grabbed my sleeve, pulling me to sit next to him. Frowning slightly in puzzlement, I complied.
There was a long silence between us as the light from the sun began to fade . . .
~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~
. . . the shadows lengthened . . . until I finally spoke.
"Hiei . . ." I said hesitantly.
"Hn." He grunted.
"What did you want to talk about?"
". . . . . . . . . . . ." Then he sighed, falling back on the bed to stare at the ceiling. After a while he answered my question.
"I'm not telepathic anymore, fox." He stated bluntly.
"N—Nani!?!" I exclaimed, leaning over his relaxed form to look him in the eyes, searching for the truth . . . this . . . this couldn't happen . . . his MIND should still be . . .
"It's true, Kurama." He said without emotion, brown eyes flat and expressionless. I felt my eyes begin to moisten, and quickly returned to my sitting position, looking away into a corner opposite the bed. I will not cry, I told myself firmly, men do not cry . . . they endure. The tears began to disappear before they had even escaped . . . then I felt the bed shift as Hiei pulled himself up to sit next to me.
"Kitsune . . ." I heard him say, but kept my gaze locked away from him. Hiei's voice . . . was so different . . . but if I tried . . . I could still hear him . . . as he used to be . . .
The sun began to set outside, the world falling into a reluctant twilight . . . and then I felt something warm place itself on my back.
"Kitsune—"He whispered into my ear, the warm breath making the rest of me feel chilled. I shivered slightly, and the hand on my back began to move in small circles, trying to comfort me . . . I made to stand up, to get away from this odd feeling, but two firm hands grasped my wrists. I forced myself not to look at him, if I saw his face . . . saw YUSUKE'S face . . . looking at me . . . I shivered again, this time in disgust. I didn't feel that way . . . not about the human teen, anyway . . .
"Kurama—"He whispered again, leaning against me, causing the both of us to hit the soft mattress, resulting in it bouncing slightly on the springs . . . "Why do you care, kitsune?" He asked softly, his head burying itself in my chest. My breath caught as I tried to concentrate on answering, my skin starting to feel warm as his hands moved from my wrists to encircle my back.
"I—I—Hiei, what are you—?" I never finished that question, as he cut me off. I closed my eyes after recovering from the initial shock, telling myself over and over that this was Hiei . . . not Yusuke . . . HIEI . . . and returned the kiss.
Hiei . . .
My little forbidden child . . .
How did you know?
~*~_Hiei's POV_~*~
Kitsune . . . ah!! . . . KITSUNE!!! . . . . . Kurama was MY kitsune!!!!
NO ONE ELSE'S!!!!!
. . . . and what an experienced kitsune he was (a.n./ . . . . . O.O;; . . . *clears her throat and looks around nervously* . . . ahem . . . *coughs* . . . a-HEM . . . . . . *nervous laughter* heh . . . ^-^;;;;;;;; . . .).
*~*~ In the morning ^-^;;;;; ~*~*
I woke, cuddled between someone's arms.
Then I remembered the night before, and blushed. I pulled back a little to watch my fox's face, looking as beautiful as ever, though now blessed with the peacefulness of sleep . . .
Hn. I was turning into a poet. How disgusting . . . (a.n./ ^-^;; aww, poor Hi-kun, he's turning into a sakusha, like me!! heh!! *gets whacked on the head by some random item thrown by an annoyed reader* ow!!! *vein pulsing on her head* hmph . . . everybody's a critic . . . . . on wit' the story, then lol!! ^-^;;;;;).
Unable to resist, I burrowed my face back into his warm chest . . . and he stirred slightly.
Apparently, I had woken him up. I smirked into his perfect skin, pretending that I was asleep as long as I could . . .
". . . mmm . . . "He said groggily, and my smirk widened. I had always pictured the fox being a morning person . . . then the hands around my waist hurriedly let go, and he pushed me away from him. I looked up, confused. Kurama was looking down at me in horror, disgust and rage; the emerald eyes dancing with the same emotions. I backed away. I had seen the fox angry several times before . . . and I didn't like being on the receiving end of such a glare from so kind a person . . . he jumped out of the bed, and grabbed his clothes, hurriedly putting them on as he shouted . . .
"Yusuke!!" He yelled, rage clear in his voice. "What the heck did you do!?! Some drug! ?! Had I known you were attracted to me, I would have been more careful than to come home with you last night, you perverted, sick, twisted human!!" Finally seeming to run out of steam to yell, he began to put his shirt on. I was still sitting in the bed, utterly confused.
What the h—l . . . I started to get up, but the fox was now fully dressed, and glared back at me, eyes still clouded with sleep and signs of weariness.
"Stay away from me, you hentai!" He yelled. I stopped and he was gone, out the door, in a moment. I stood there, frozen, wondering . . .
What, in the seven layers of h—l, just happened . . . ?
~*~_Kurama's POV_~*~
I walked briskly out of Yusuke's house, still steaming with fury and embarrassment.
Something was nagging at the back of my thoughts, as I began to wake up more . . .
Some important detail was missing . . .
I was so caught up in my musings I didn't even realize there was a girl walking down the street until I ran into her, and she fell. Snapping out of my daze, I looked down, recognizing her. It was Keiko.
"Sumanai, Keiko-san! I didn't see you there. Are you all right?" I apologized, helping her up.
"Iie, iie, I'm fine Kurama-kun. Really!" I sighed with relief and she looked up at me.
"I'm on my way to see Yusuke . . . do YOU happen to know what's wrong with him? I'm worried . . ." She trailed off, but there was something about the way she spoke that seemed familiar . . .
"He's not acting like himself . . ." She continued, lost in her thoughts.
Then it hit me.
They were switched.
Hiei and Yusuke were . . .
K'so.
What have I done . . .
*~*~*~*~*~*
Hah! Was that a better ending/chappie?
No evil cliffhanger, heh?
Hope you guys liked . . . and now I REALLY don't know when the next chappie will be up . . .
Need to find some more creative ideas . . .
*gets out a diving mask and oxygen tank, then dons a wetsuit*

Don't know when I'll be back, minna-san!!
But when I am, I'll have another creative chappie for you guys!!

Hope these two new chappies can tide you over!
