A/n: I know, the last chapter was short, it had a horrible cliffie, and the kissing scene could've been alot better, but I had to get the chapter out or my rabid fans would've killed me XD I seriously thought you guys were gonna hate it, but you didn't ^^; so, I was really happy, but, seeing as how I was grounded and only had a little while to write the chapter, I thought it was good enough. I took about thirty minutes for me to throw that chapter together. It was sloppy, but I couldn't help it. This one will be alot longer and better.
I just wanted to say that you guys almost made me cry with all the good reviews XD I was expecting flames, lol. But, anyways, long chapter, I love you guys! You dunno how happy I am 'cause of all the reviews XD *dances* here's the chapter!
Hmm, right, well, I've been running out of ideas for something funny to happen. I need suggestions if this stories gonna keep goin'. Please review and tell me what YOU'D like to see! I'm all about the fans, people.
~~~~~Interesing Encounters and Spilt Lemonade~~~~~
~~Last Time~~
Slowly, ever so slowly, their lips touched in their first kiss, each suprised more than they'd thought they would, at the emotions that they felt. Hiei wrapped his arms arms around Kurama's back and Kurama placed his hands on Hiei's face, and they made the kiss a little deeper...
Suddenly, the door opened and...
~~Now...~~~
Yusuke raised his eyebrow. Behind him stood a very freaked out looking Kuwabara, a Yukina who was smiling from ear to ear, and a Keiko who had her hands over a smile of her own.
Kurama and Hiei stared at them, eyes wide, wondering what would happen.
Yusuke shruged, walked over to the 'fridge, said, "Well, that's interesting," and opened his soda. Aparently, he didn't care that two of the most powerful demons in Makai, Nenginki, or anywhere, were gay. Kuwabara on the other hand, still looked rather freaked out, 'till a certain blue haired apparition 'accidentaly' stepped on his foot.
"Oh, Kazuma! Was that your foot? I'm sorry. You really shouldn't just stand in the doorway, you know." She chastised, shaking her finger at him. Keiko was already in the cubbords, looking for something to make for lunch, while Yukina found her way inside to help. Kuwabara still stood there, sputtering something about how he couldn't beleive his eyes.
Kurama shruged, and, embarassed, found himself sneeking off to the living room to see what was on T.V., forgetting about going outside. Hiei, who wouldn't be scared off by a bunch of ningens, sat down at the table and glared at Kuwabara. Inside Kuwabara's head, a mysterious voice was grumbling at him about how he was a 'damn homophobe'. The carrot top, in turn, freaked out more and thrashed around, looking for whoever was talking to him.
"I am not a Fomohobe!" He yelled, and ran outside, thourghly confused and uncomfortable.
Hiei raised his eyebrow and shruged innocently when everyone gave him a questioning glace. Everyone else shrugged and continued to make lunch. The demon snuck out of the room and into the living room, looking for Kurama. The youko was sitting on the couch, flipping through the channels, apparently bored to death. In reality he was deep in thought, replaying the kiss over and over in his head. He only came back to reality when he felt someone sit down on the couch next to him.
Kurama jumped and looked over so fast he thought he got whip-lash. "Oh, Hiei, its you... About earlier..." He said, trying patheticly to explain.
Hiei shrugged and, was it Kurama's imagination?, grinned. "No problem, although our kiss was interupted..." He said thoughtfully. Kurama blushed and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. Hiei rolled his eyes, grinning, and turned back to watch the television. Kurama grinned and flipped the channel again, not really paying attention to what was on anymore.
~~Later 'cause I'm running out of ideas again *sheepish grin*~~
"Lunch's ready!" Keiko called, hording everyone into the kitchen for some much needed food. Kuwabara was shoved in by Yukina, eyeing Hiei. Kurama was the last to enter, still embarassed. Yusuke grabbed another soda and tossed it to Keiko, who blushed slightly. It was very aparent that they were flirting, and they weren't the only ones. Kuwabara pulled Yukina's chair out for her, smiling excitedly. Hiei raised an eyebrow at them, and Kurama shrugged in responce. They didn't have to win each other over with silly public displays like that.
Hiei sat down, making sure there was a seat next to him for Kurama. Kurama, in turn, made sure that Hiei had something to drink, and access to everything on the table.
Kuwabara, who had to sit next to Hiei as well, was giving him funny looks all during lunch. Yukina tried to help as much as possible, but Kuwabara was still nervous and uncompfortable around the two demons all afternoon. Hiei was the first to notice.
'Hn, fox, I beleive we've scared the oaf.' Hiei thought to Kurama.
Kurama smiled and continued to eat his sandwhich. 'Yes, I think we have, and just what are we going to do about it?'
'... Freak him out more?' Hiei thought, accually hesitant.
Kurama glanced at Hiei and wiggled his eyebrows slightly, almost making Hiei spew his drink out over the table. The little fire demon glanced sideways at Kurama, eyes half lidded, and grinned, sending shivers up Kurama's spine. He blushed and looked back down at his sandwich, poking it with a fork. When he looked up to get his lemonade (An: XD LEMONade *giggles* sorry, about that ^^; ) he found it gone. Glancing around, Kurama found the theif to be none other than Hiei, sipping *his* lemonade, and smiling at him over the rim of the cup.
Kurama raised an eyebrow acusingly, but said nothing. Instead, he reached across Hiei's plate to grab his drink, rubbing his arm with Hiei's purposly. Hiei's face turned red, and he busied himself with Kurama's glass, not watching Kurama. Kurama was also pretending to pay attention to something else as well. But when they both looked up, wondering why things were so quiet, they found everyone stareing at them.
Kurama raised an eyebrow and asked, "What?", while looking nervously around the table.
Yusuke raised both of his eyebrows, as if asking 'Is he serious?', and said, "Aww, c'mon, Kurama, we catch you two making out in the kitchen, and then you're playing footsies all through lunch. You can tell us! What's going on between you two?" He asked, leaning forward.
Kurama stood up, winked at Hiei, and said in his most innocent voice, "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, Yusuke." And took his plate to the sink to wash it. Hiei chuckled, rubbing his nose knowingly.
"Alright, if he ain't talking, you tell us, Hiei." Yusuke said, watching the little koorime.
Hiei glanced at Yusuke, and, without saying a word, got up to help Kurama with the dishes. Or at least give him *his* to wash. Then Hiei found himself outside, sitting under a large weeping willow that shaded him and his pale skin from most of the brutal afternoon sunlight.
Keiko smiled almost evily and grabbed Yukina by the arm. "Well just let you boys take care of the dishes." She said, winking at Yusuke, then dragging Yukina out of the room, who was busy assuring Keiko that it was no trouble at all for her to help.
When they were in the other room, Keiko placed one hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow at the blue haired apparition. "Yukina, you hafta keep your man in check, or he'll end up ruling your whole life!"
"Not Kazuma!" Yukina said, eyes wide.
But Keiko just raised her eyebrows sternly, and replied, "Yes. Its always the nice ones who turn out bad. That's why I'm not worried about Yusuke." She said, and rolled her eyes.
Back in the kitchen, Yusuke sighed temporary defeat, and cleaned up the table, making Kuwabara help. "C'mon, Kuwabara, the dishes aren't going to wash themselves." He said, elbowing the tall red head.
"Gah! Stop it, Urameshi, I'm thinking!" Kuwabara replied, then went back to staring off in space.
Yusuke gasped in mock surpise. "Oh my kami! Kuwabara's THINKING?! Call the press, folks, its the Apocolyps!!" He raved while walking over to the sink.
"Shut up, Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled, then stomped out of the room.
Kurama sighed, rinsing out a glass.
Yusuke raised an eyebrow. "I'll dry, while you tell me what's up?" He asked, taking the cup and drying it out with a towel.
"Seriously, Yusuke? I don't know... And with Kuwabara acting like that, I don't know how its going to continue." He replied, studing the silverware that lay under the soap and water in the sink.
"Ah, don't pay any attenion to Kuwabaka, he's just worried about how Yukina's gonna take this. But I think she knew all along." He said, being insightful for once. (A/n: Wah! Second sign of the end of the world! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!)
Kurama grinned slightly and nodded, rising off the spoon he held. "I hope your right. I wouldn't want Hiei to put a stop to what we've got going because Yukina wasn't happy about it. As for Mother, I can hide stuff just fine." He said, unplugging the sink and listening to the water drain out of it.
"Alright, enough talk. Lets get outside! I can feel my skin getting paler." Yusuke ranted, going to round up the others to get them all outside. Kurama found this a perfect time to go visit a very lonely looking demon.
Hiei watched Kurama walk outside and had to swallow the sudden lump in his throat. He sure was glad that Kurama couldn't read minds! He felt his cheeks heat up at the thought of Kurama knowing what he had been thinking of...
"Hello, Hiei. You probably should be wearing sunscreen. Your cheeks look a little burnt as it is. Want to use some of mine?" Kurama asked, a bit akwardly, coming to sit down by Hiei.
Hiei only blinked and nodded, suprised by Kurama's, well, normal-ness. Yes, of course he was acting a bit akward, but he was acting more normal that Hiei felt! Well, accually, the sun was making Hiei want to go inside. To their bed room. With Kurama. Nude. And-
"Here you are, Hiei." Kurama said, starling the fire demon with his quick return with the sunscreen. "You thirsty?" He asked, offering the glass of lemonade he held. "Yukina thought you might want some, and sent me out to ask you." Kurama explained, hoping Hiei wasn't thirsty so he wouldn't hafta go back inside and get another glass.
"Yes, but not very. We can share." Hiei said, slathering on the white goo.
Kurama blushed and nodded, sitting down next to Hiei and picking up the abused bottle of sunscreen. He, in turn, rubbed some on his arms and neck and just about every where that he could reach. (A/n: Oh yeah. Just think about that for a minute... *drools* *nose bleed* OO; *cough* ^^; ) Hiei shook his head, seeing that the fox's back was still exposed and that he couldn't reach it.
The youko jumped and yelped slightly when he felt a pair of cold hands sliding over his back. He looked over his shoulder to find Hiei rubbing sunscreen on his back, his cheeks redder than they were before. "Uhm, *ahem*, thanks Hiei. I always get sunburned on my back." Hiei nodded and grinned at Kurama slightly.
Once Kurama was effectivly lathered up, he took the now practicly half empty bottle and motioned for Hiei to turn around. And he complied, although he did it slightly slow and akwardly. Oh the thoughts in that demon's mind... "YOW! That's cold!!" Hiei said, eyes wide.
Kurama grinned a very preditorial grin and massaged the lotion into Hiei's skin. "Sorry," He said, not meaning it one bit.
"Hn, no you're not." Hiei said, returning the grin.
Kurama raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really? Prove it!"
Hiei smiled wickedly and turned around, practicly sitting in Kurama's lap now, and advanced slowly, as if to kiss the youko. Kurama closed his eyes and leaned forward, only to have cold splatter all over his midsection. Kurama yelped and fell backwards, trying to whipe off the excess lotion, spilling lemonade all over himself in the process.
Hiei, of course, was now posioned directly on top of Kurama, and was grinning quiet evily. Kurama, finally noticing Hiei straddling him, blushed profusly and scowled up at the little fire demon. "Hiei! That wasn't fair!" Kurama pouted. Why did this seem familar?
Suddenly Hiei leaned forward quickly, almost fell, on Kurama, one arm on each side of his head. "I'll make it up to you later," he whispered. Their lips touched for a breif second, the fire sparked once more, but then Hiei was gone. Kurama frowned and sat up, only to hear the others walking outside, talking about going somewhere in town tonight.
"Uh, Kurama?" Keiko asked, raising an eyebrow at him. He seemed to still be covered sunscreen and lemonade.
"Woops. Messy me." Kurama said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Last one in the water's a rotton egg!" He yelled, and rand down to the beach with a speed that would rival Hiei's. The cold water would do him some good... And where on nengenki did Hiei go. He wanted another kiss...
The others were a bit slower at getting down to the water.
After about fifteen minutes in the water, Hiei returned, and was less enthusiastic about swimming than everyone else. In fact, he took to the water like a cat, you could say. At first he dipped his foot in and found in unplesently cold, and slowly wadded into the water, up to the point of where the waves were nearly over his head. The moody fire demon grumbled when his hair got wet, and was basicly just being grumpy.
"Hey, Hiei, want to try surfing?" Kurama asked, walking along the beach floor to Hiei, who was standing on a rock so he wouldn't drown.
"No, I think I'll watch you instead." He replied, steadying himself once more after the fox swam away. It was hard to stay on that slippery rock!
Yusuke came to stand beside Hiei while he watched Kurama surfing intently. "He's pretty good, isn't he?" Yusuke asked.
Hiei grinned, so absorbed he was in the youko, and replied in a distant voice. "You have no idea..."
Yusuke raised his eyebrow and grinned evily. Obviously Hiei wasn't paying attention to what he was saying. "Oh, really?" Yusuke asked, not changing the tone in his voice from his earlier question. He didn't want to startle Hiei out of his current dream like state.
"Oh, yeah, I mean-" Suddenly, Hiei stopped and looked over at Yusuke in horror. And, being as he was in the water, he couldn't run away! How embarassing! "Damn it, Yusuke!" Hiei yelled, death glaring at the other.
But, of course, Yusuke didn't notice. He was to busy laughing his head off and poiting at the miffed fire demon. Kurama raised an eyebrow and sat down on his surf board and paddled himself over to see what was going on. When Yusuke finally noticed that Kurama was there, he smiled more evily and asked, "Hey, Kurama, I wonder why the water's so warm over here..."
Hiei, of course, didn't realize that being a fire demon was going to make the water around him warmer than normal, and splashed Yusuke, scowling at him. "Not funny."
Kurama shook his head at Yusuke and said, "Nice knowing you."
Yusuke in turn, splashed Hiei back, just around the time a nice wave was comming in, bringing with it the tide, and sending the short fire demon off his rock and into water higher than what he could stand. Maybe he should've told the others he couldn't swim? Sounded like a good idea... 'specially when he was floating around under the water... unable to find his way back to the surface.
After a few seconds Kurama frowned when his friend didn't come back up, and looked and Yusuke, who shruged. Kurama's eyes widened and he lept off his surf board. Hiei was drowning!! Under the water, Kurama opened his eyes and was greeted with the stinging ocean water, tons of dirty, satly, ocean water. Through the darkness, Kurama saw a rock and pointy hair. Hiei! In an instant, Kurama was over there, reaching his hand out to the little fire demon. Hiei grabbed his hand and Kurama pulled him up to the surface.
"Hiei! Are you alright?!" Kurama asked, gasping for breath and holding the other bridal style. Hiei coughed and sputtered and looked all around abused, but, basicly, alright.
"I'll be fine kitsune. Now, take me inside before the others start to crowd around!" Hiei commanded, blushing furiously.
"As you wish." Kurama said, grinning and leaping off the rock into shallower water. He could have easily put Hiei down, but didn't, carring him into the house. Hiei scowled but didn't complain. For some reason, his legs felt slightly rubbery. (A/n: Ever been close to drowning like Hiei? That happens to your legs... Well, at least it did to mine in all those numerous occasions... Jumping into the pool, trying to walk across the pool which aparently got deep in the middle, falling off the boat... *cough*... right, back to the story ^^; ) How was he going to live this down?! Him! Hiei! Not being able to swim! How sad was that... He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Kurama's neck, silently telling him not to put him down.
The others raised eyebrows. Yukina wanted to go after her brother, but Keiko said it was probably best that they leave Hiei alone right now.
"Yeah, he's probably really embarassed." Yusuke agreed, nodding at Keiko and Yukina.
Kuwabara, of course, was busy laughing. "Ahahah! He can't swim!! Ahah-blub-gurgle... ect, ect, ect." Yusuke scowled at the oaf while he held him under the water while Kuwabara flailed around.
~~~
Kurama grabbed a towel from the bathroom in their bedroom and gave it to Hiei, who was currently sitting on the sink and pouting. Kurama grinned at him.
"Now, did you hit your head? Any cuts? Internal bleeding?" He asked, trying to lighten up the fire demon's mood.
Hiei only scowled and shook his head, drying his hair off. "Hn."
"Why don't you take a shower, and I'll go tell the other's you'll live." Kurama said, heading out the bathroom and into their room. Once he reached the door, he heard a deep voice asking him something.
"Please kitsune, don't make me sound as pathetic as I feel?"
Kurama couldn't help but grin alittle. "Of course not, Hiei." He was happy that the usually aloof Hiei was being this open with him. When he heard the shower turn out, the reincarnated youko trotted down the stairs and back outside, where he saw everyone splashing at Kuwabara, who was currently yelling something that sounded like 'Uncle'. When Yukina saw only Kurama returning, she frowned and swam back to shore, followed by Keiko, Yusuke, and a water logged Kuwabara.
"Kurama, is he alright?" Yukina asked hopfully.
Kurama smiled and nodded. "Yes, he's fine. I believe his pride is wounded more than anything. Its best to just leave him be."
Yukina sighed with releif. "Thank goodness." Then she looked up at the sun and saw that it was indeed getting late. "I beleive that its about seven'o'clock. The sun won't be setting for a good hour or two. Should we venture into the city for, what did you call them Keiko?" Yukina asked, looking over at the other female.
Keiko grinned and grabbed her towel off a bench and started drying off her hair. "Burgers," She supplied for the apparition, wrapping her now damp towel around her waist, not liking the feeling that she was being watched. Yusuke, of course, was standing behind her, forgetting the water bottle he held perched above his face, eyes wide, blinking at Keiko.
Kurama grinned and shook his head, picking up his own towel.
"Yeah, I'm hungry. Lemme go get dressed and we'll drive into town to get something to eat." Yusuke said, walking back into the house.
"Hold on, you're rising those feet off first. You're not going to track sand all through my grandparents house!" Keiko said, grabbing Yusuke's arm and leading him off to one of those enclosed outside shower things that they have at the beach. (A/n: Gah, you know what I'm talking about, right? Like out houses XD I've seen them before... But, sadly, I live to far inland to go to the beach often, so I wouldn't really know *cough* Lets just say, for my non-exsistant plot's state, they're there) Yusuke grinned and followed, rubbing the back of his head speeishly.
Yukina grinned at the two of them and followed. She wanted to go into town to, but needed to rinse off as well. Kuwabara followed like a sad puppy, and Kurama raised an eyebrow, and followed as well. He needed to get the sand out of his hair. Once the three of them were rinsed off, they stood outside the little wooden building, waiting for Keiko and Yusuke to come back. And waited. And waited... And *yawn* waited... Well, maybe for about seven minutes before they got to impatient.
Kuwabara stalked back in, ravenous by this time, and Kurama followed, wondering if anything had happened to the two. Not that Yusuke couldn't take care of himself, but he might need some help. They found the one door that was closed and rammed on it a few times. No answer.
Kuwabara scowled at the door and yelled, "Urameshi! Are you in there?!" Again, no answer. Finally, Kuwabara ripped open the door and found the two locked in a passionate kiss. The two cought in the act lept apart and blinked innocently at Kuwabara and Kurama, who were staring at them with wide eyes, blinking as well. Kurama cleared his throat.
"*Ahem* Well... This is akward." He said, trying to cover a smile with his hand.
Yusuke rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and Keiko hid her face in her hands. "You got that right... Well, no more akaward than when we cought you and Hiei in the act, Kurama, so, we'll call it even?" Yusuke asked, grinning.
Kurama laughed and nodded. "Alright Yusuke, its even. But you better go get that food soon, before Kuwabara eats the house down." He said, grinning at the ravenous young man beside him. Kuwabara laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head.
"Alright, c'mon. You commin' Kurama?" Asked Yusuke, walking back to the house with shoes on to get his keys.
"No, I'm going to stay here. I have to make sure that Hiei is alright after all, and not just saying that." He said, following Yusuke to the house.
Yusuke grinned and grabbed his keys off the counter. "Sure, what ever you say, Kurama." He said, and was out the door before Kurama could retalitate. He shrugged in defeate and walked back outside to sit on the log that he found Hiei on the first night they were there. He sat down, staring off into the ocean. This was the best day of his life... He and Hiei confessed their feelings to one another, he'd gotten a kiss or two, and... well, alot of exciting discoveries had happened this weekend.
Suddenly, he felt a very familiar energy signiture walking up behind him. Kurama playfully ignored him, pretending he didn't notice. Hiei grinned and tapped Kurama on his left shoulder, standing on his right. Kurama jumped and looked to the left, and saw no one. He looked to the right, and Hiei had expertly dodged his gaze, zipping over to the left. Kurama grinned slightly, faked looking left then looked right, finding Hiei.
"Gotcha!" Kurama yelled, flinging his arms out to catch the smaller demon. But Hiei was just to fast for him.
"Not yet fox, you hafta catch me first!" Hiei said, running bare foot as the ocean waves lapped at his feet, the last rays of sunlight making him glow.
Kurama smiled with pure delight and chased the demon who was going slow enough to let him catch him. Kurama reached the fire demon and tackled him, rolling over so that he lay ontop of Hiei, grinning down at him. The waves lapped up at them, comming up to almost the tip of Hiei's hair, once more wetting it. Hiei smiled, a true smile, not a grin or smirk, up at the fox, and kissed him lightly.
Kurama returned the kiss, yet broke it suddenly. Hiei frowned, worried. "I-... I don't think I want this moment to ever stop, Hiei." Kurama said, quietly.
"Hai, me either, my silly little fox. Now kiss me again, before this water cools us off to much..." Hiei commanded, and Kurama implied. He kissed him slowly at first, hands traveling down the other's body to find Hiei's hands, and linked his fingers with Hiei's. Their kiss deepened, and the world around them melted away...
~~~
Alright, that's it ^^ I could end it there but... NOPE! There's more to come, with the next installment of: Weekend Getaway. Remember, review and tell me what you wanna see!

~~Later 'cause I'm running out of ideas again *sheepish grin*~~
"Lunch's ready!" Keiko called, hording everyone into the kitchen for some much needed food. Kuwabara was shoved in by Yukina, eyeing Hiei. Kurama was the last to enter, still embarassed. Yusuke grabbed another soda and tossed it to Keiko, who blushed slightly. It was very aparent that they were flirting, and they weren't the only ones.

'... Freak him out more?' Hiei thought, accually hesitant.
Kurama glanced at Hiei and wiggled his eyebrows slightly, almost making Hiei spew his drink out over the table. The little fire demon glanced sideways at Kurama, eyes half lidded, and grinned, sending shivers up Kurama's spine. He blushed and looked back down at his sandwich, poking it with a fork. When he looked up to get his lemonade (An: XD LEMONade *giggles* sorry, about that ^^; ) he found it gone. Glancing around, Kurama found the theif to be none other than Hiei, sipping *his* lemonade, and smiling at him over the rim of the cup.
Kurama raised an eyebrow acusingly, but said nothing. Instead, he reached across Hiei's plate to grab his drink, rubbing his arm with Hiei's purposly. Hiei's face turned red, and he busied himself with Kurama's glass, not watching Kurama. Kurama was also pretending to pay attention to something else as well.

"Alright, if he ain't talking, you tell us, Hiei." Yusuke said, watching the little koorime.
Hiei glanced at Yusuke, and, without saying a word, got up to help Kurama with the dishes. Or at least give him *his* to wash. Then Hiei found himself outside, sitting under a large weeping willow that shaded him and his pale skin from most of the brutal afternoon sunlight.
Keiko smiled almost evily and grabbed Yukina by the arm. "Well just let you boys take care of the dishes." She said, winking at Yusuke, then dragging Yukina out of the room, who was busy assuring Keiko that it was no trouble at all for her to help.
When they were in the other room, Keiko placed one hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow at the blue haired apparition. "Yukina, you hafta keep your man in check, or he'll end up ruling your whole life!"
"Not Kazuma!" Yukina said, eyes wide.
But Keiko just raised her eyebrows sternly, and replied, "Yes. Its always the nice ones who turn out bad. That's why I'm not worried about Yusuke." She said, and rolled her eyes.
Back in the kitchen, Yusuke sighed temporary defeat, and cleaned up the table, making Kuwabara help. "C'mon, Kuwabara, the dishes aren't going to wash themselves." He said, elbowing the tall red head.
"Gah! Stop it, Urameshi, I'm thinking!" Kuwabara replied, then went back to staring off in space.
Yusuke gasped in mock surpise. "Oh my kami! Kuwabara's THINKING?! Call the press, folks, its the Apocolyps!!" He raved while walking over to the sink.
"Shut up, Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled, then stomped out of the room.
Kurama sighed, rinsing out a glass.
Yusuke raised an eyebrow. "I'll dry, while you tell me what's up?" He asked, taking the cup and drying it out with a towel.
"Seriously, Yusuke? I don't know... And with Kuwabara acting like that, I don't know how its going to continue." He replied, studing the silverware that lay under the soap and water in the sink.
"Ah, don't pay any attenion to Kuwabaka, he's just worried about how Yukina's gonna take this. But I think she knew all along." He said, being insightful for once. (A/n: Wah! Second sign of the end of the world! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!)
Kurama grinned slightly and nodded, rising off the spoon he held. "I hope your right. I wouldn't want Hiei to put a stop to what we've got going because Yukina wasn't happy about it. As for Mother, I can hide stuff just fine." He said, unplugging the sink and listening to the water drain out of it.
"Alright, enough talk. Lets get outside! I can feel my skin getting paler." Yusuke ranted, going to round up the others to get them all outside. Kurama found this a perfect time to go visit a very lonely looking demon.
Hiei watched Kurama walk outside and had to swallow the sudden lump in his throat. He sure was glad that Kurama couldn't read minds! He felt his cheeks heat up at the thought of Kurama knowing what he had been thinking of...
"Hello, Hiei. You probably should be wearing sunscreen. Your cheeks look a little burnt as it is. Want to use some of mine?" Kurama asked, a bit akwardly, coming to sit down by Hiei.
Hiei only blinked and nodded, suprised by Kurama's, well, normal-ness. Yes, of course he was acting a bit akward, but he was acting more normal that Hiei felt! Well, accually, the sun was making Hiei want to go inside. To their bed room. With Kurama. Nude. And-
"Here you are, Hiei." Kurama said, starling the fire demon with his quick return with the sunscreen. "You thirsty?" He asked, offering the glass of lemonade he held. "Yukina thought you might want some, and sent me out to ask you." Kurama explained, hoping Hiei wasn't thirsty so he wouldn't hafta go back inside and get another glass.
"Yes, but not very. We can share." Hiei said, slathering on the white goo.
Kurama blushed and nodded, sitting down next to Hiei and picking up the abused bottle of sunscreen. He, in turn, rubbed some on his arms and neck and just about every where that he could reach. (A/n: Oh yeah. Just think about that for a minute... *drools* *nose bleed* OO; *cough* ^^; ) Hiei shook his head, seeing that the fox's back was still exposed and that he couldn't reach it.
The youko jumped and yelped slightly when he felt a pair of cold hands sliding over his back. He looked over his shoulder to find Hiei rubbing sunscreen on his back, his cheeks redder than they were before. "Uhm, *ahem*, thanks Hiei. I always get sunburned on my back." Hiei nodded and grinned at Kurama slightly.
Once Kurama was effectivly lathered up, he took the now practicly half empty bottle and motioned for Hiei to turn around. And he complied, although he did it slightly slow and akwardly. Oh the thoughts in that demon's mind... "YOW! That's cold!!" Hiei said, eyes wide.
Kurama grinned a very preditorial grin and massaged the lotion into Hiei's skin. "Sorry," He said, not meaning it one bit.
"Hn, no you're not." Hiei said, returning the grin.
Kurama raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really? Prove it!"
Hiei smiled wickedly and turned around, practicly sitting in Kurama's lap now, and advanced slowly, as if to kiss the youko. Kurama closed his eyes and leaned forward, only to have cold splatter all over his midsection. Kurama yelped and fell backwards, trying to whipe off the excess lotion, spilling lemonade all over himself in the process.
Hiei, of course, was now posioned directly on top of Kurama, and was grinning quiet evily. Kurama, finally noticing Hiei straddling him, blushed profusly and scowled up at the little fire demon. "Hiei! That wasn't fair!" Kurama pouted. Why did this seem familar?
Suddenly Hiei leaned forward quickly, almost fell, on Kurama, one arm on each side of his head. "I'll make it up to you later," he whispered. Their lips touched for a breif second, the fire sparked once more, but then Hiei was gone. Kurama frowned and sat up, only to hear the others walking outside, talking about going somewhere in town tonight.
"Uh, Kurama?" Keiko asked, raising an eyebrow at him. He seemed to still be covered sunscreen and lemonade.
"Woops. Messy me." Kurama said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Last one in the water's a rotton egg!" He yelled, and rand down to the beach with a speed that would rival Hiei's. The cold water would do him some good... And where on nengenki did Hiei go. He wanted another kiss...
The others were a bit slower at getting down to the water.
After about fifteen minutes in the water, Hiei returned, and was less enthusiastic about swimming than everyone else. In fact, he took to the water like a cat, you could say. At first he dipped his foot in and found in unplesently cold, and slowly wadded into the water, up to the point of where the waves were nearly over his head. The moody fire demon grumbled when his hair got wet, and was basicly just being grumpy.
"Hey, Hiei, want to try surfing?" Kurama asked, walking along the beach floor to Hiei, who was standing on a rock so he wouldn't drown.
"No, I think I'll watch you instead." He replied, steadying himself once more after the fox swam away. It was hard to stay on that slippery rock!
Yusuke came to stand beside Hiei while he watched Kurama surfing intently. "He's pretty good, isn't he?" Yusuke asked.
Hiei grinned, so absorbed he was in the youko, and replied in a distant voice. "You have no idea..."
Yusuke raised his eyebrow and grinned evily. Obviously Hiei wasn't paying attention to what he was saying. "Oh, really?" Yusuke asked, not changing the tone in his voice from his earlier question. He didn't want to startle Hiei out of his current dream like state.
"Oh, yeah, I mean-" Suddenly, Hiei stopped and looked over at Yusuke in horror. And, being as he was in the water, he couldn't run away! How embarassing! "Damn it, Yusuke!" Hiei yelled, death glaring at the other.
But, of course, Yusuke didn't notice. He was to busy laughing his head off and poiting at the miffed fire demon. Kurama raised an eyebrow and sat down on his surf board and paddled himself over to see what was going on. When Yusuke finally noticed that Kurama was there, he smiled more evily and asked, "Hey, Kurama, I wonder why the water's so warm over here..."
Hiei, of course, didn't realize that being a fire demon was going to make the water around him warmer than normal, and splashed Yusuke, scowling at him. "Not funny."
Kurama shook his head at Yusuke and said, "Nice knowing you."
Yusuke in turn, splashed Hiei back, just around the time a nice wave was comming in, bringing with it the tide, and sending the short fire demon off his rock and into water higher than what he could stand. Maybe he should've told the others he couldn't swim? Sounded like a good idea... 'specially when he was floating around under the water... unable to find his way back to the surface.
After a few seconds Kurama frowned when his friend didn't come back up, and looked and Yusuke, who shruged. Kurama's eyes widened and he lept off his surf board. Hiei was drowning!! Under the water, Kurama opened his eyes and was greeted with the stinging ocean water, tons of dirty, satly, ocean water. Through the darkness, Kurama saw a rock and pointy hair. Hiei! In an instant, Kurama was over there, reaching his hand out to the little fire demon. Hiei grabbed his hand and Kurama pulled him up to the surface.
"Hiei! Are you alright?!" Kurama asked, gasping for breath and holding the other bridal style. Hiei coughed and sputtered and looked all around abused, but, basicly, alright.
"I'll be fine kitsune. Now, take me inside before the others start to crowd around!" Hiei commanded, blushing furiously.
"As you wish." Kurama said, grinning and leaping off the rock into shallower water. He could have easily put Hiei down, but didn't, carring him into the house. Hiei scowled but didn't complain. For some reason, his legs felt slightly rubbery. (A/n: Ever been close to drowning like Hiei? That happens to your legs... Well, at least it did to mine in all those numerous occasions... Jumping into the pool, trying to walk across the pool which aparently got deep in the middle, falling off the boat... *cough*... right, back to the story ^^; ) How was he going to live this down?! Him! Hiei! Not being able to swim! How sad was that... He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Kurama's neck, silently telling him not to put him down.
The others raised eyebrows. Yukina wanted to go after her brother, but Keiko said it was probably best that they leave Hiei alone right now.
"Yeah, he's probably really embarassed." Yusuke agreed, nodding at Keiko and Yukina.
Kuwabara, of course, was busy laughing. "Ahahah! He can't swim!! Ahah-blub-gurgle... ect, ect, ect." Yusuke scowled at the oaf while he held him under the water while Kuwabara flailed around.
~~~
Kurama grabbed a towel from the bathroom in their bedroom and gave it to Hiei, who was currently sitting on the sink and pouting. Kurama grinned at him.
"Now, did you hit your head? Any cuts? Internal bleeding?" He asked, trying to lighten up the fire demon's mood.
Hiei only scowled and shook his head, drying his hair off. "Hn."
"Why don't you take a shower, and I'll go tell the other's you'll live." Kurama said, heading out the bathroom and into their room. Once he reached the door, he heard a deep voice asking him something.
"Please kitsune, don't make me sound as pathetic as I feel?"
Kurama couldn't help but grin alittle. "Of course not, Hiei." He was happy that the usually aloof Hiei was being this open with him. When he heard the shower turn out, the reincarnated youko trotted down the stairs and back outside, where he saw everyone splashing at Kuwabara, who was currently yelling something that sounded like 'Uncle'. When Yukina saw only Kurama returning, she frowned and swam back to shore, followed by Keiko, Yusuke, and a water logged Kuwabara.
"Kurama, is he alright?" Yukina asked hopfully.
Kurama smiled and nodded. "Yes, he's fine. I believe his pride is wounded more than anything. Its best to just leave him be."
Yukina sighed with releif. "Thank goodness." Then she looked up at the sun and saw that it was indeed getting late. "I beleive that its about seven'o'clock. The sun won't be setting for a good hour or two. Should we venture into the city for, what did you call them Keiko?" Yukina asked, looking over at the other female.
Keiko grinned and grabbed her towel off a bench and started drying off her hair. "Burgers," She supplied for the apparition, wrapping her now damp towel around her waist, not liking the feeling that she was being watched. Yusuke, of course, was standing behind her, forgetting the water bottle he held perched above his face, eyes wide, blinking at Keiko.
Kurama grinned and shook his head, picking up his own towel.
"Yeah, I'm hungry. Lemme go get dressed and we'll drive into town to get something to eat." Yusuke said, walking back into the house.
"Hold on, you're rising those feet off first. You're not going to track sand all through my grandparents house!" Keiko said, grabbing Yusuke's arm and leading him off to one of those enclosed outside shower things that they have at the beach. (A/n: Gah, you know what I'm talking about, right? Like out houses XD I've seen them before... But, sadly, I live to far inland to go to the beach often, so I wouldn't really know *cough* Lets just say, for my non-exsistant plot's state, they're there) Yusuke grinned and followed, rubbing the back of his head speeishly.
Yukina grinned at the two of them and followed. She wanted to go into town to, but needed to rinse off as well. Kuwabara followed like a sad puppy, and Kurama raised an eyebrow, and followed as well. He needed to get the sand out of his hair. Once the three of them were rinsed off, they stood outside the little wooden building, waiting for Keiko and Yusuke to come back. And waited. And waited... And *yawn* waited... Well, maybe for about seven minutes before they got to impatient.
Kuwabara stalked back in, ravenous by this time, and Kurama followed, wondering if anything had happened to the two. Not that Yusuke couldn't take care of himself, but he might need some help. They found the one door that was closed and rammed on it a few times. No answer.
Kuwabara scowled at the door and yelled, "Urameshi! Are you in there?!" Again, no answer. Finally, Kuwabara ripped open the door and found the two locked in a passionate kiss. The two cought in the act lept apart and blinked innocently at Kuwabara and Kurama, who were staring at them with wide eyes, blinking as well. Kurama cleared his throat.
"*Ahem* Well... This is akward." He said, trying to cover a smile with his hand.
Yusuke rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and Keiko hid her face in her hands. "You got that right... Well, no more akaward than when we cought you and Hiei in the act, Kurama, so, we'll call it even?" Yusuke asked, grinning.
Kurama laughed and nodded. "Alright Yusuke, its even. But you better go get that food soon, before Kuwabara eats the house down." He said, grinning at the ravenous young man beside him. Kuwabara laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head.
"Alright, c'mon. You commin' Kurama?" Asked Yusuke, walking back to the house with shoes on to get his keys.
"No, I'm going to stay here. I have to make sure that Hiei is alright after all, and not just saying that." He said, following Yusuke to the house.
Yusuke grinned and grabbed his keys off the counter. "Sure, what ever you say, Kurama." He said, and was out the door before Kurama could retalitate. He shrugged in defeate and walked back outside to sit on the log that he found Hiei on the first night they were there. He sat down, staring off into the ocean. This was the best day of his life... He and Hiei confessed their feelings to one another, he'd gotten a kiss or two, and... well, alot of exciting discoveries had happened this weekend.
Suddenly, he felt a very familiar energy signiture walking up behind him. Kurama playfully ignored him, pretending he didn't notice. Hiei grinned and tapped Kurama on his left shoulder, standing on his right. Kurama jumped and looked to the left, and saw no one. He looked to the right, and Hiei had expertly dodged his gaze, zipping over to the left. Kurama grinned slightly, faked looking left then looked right, finding Hiei.
"Gotcha!" Kurama yelled, flinging his arms out to catch the smaller demon. But Hiei was just to fast for him.
"Not yet fox, you hafta catch me first!" Hiei said, running bare foot as the ocean waves lapped at his feet, the last rays of sunlight making him glow.
Kurama smiled with pure delight and chased the demon who was going slow enough to let him catch him. Kurama reached the fire demon and tackled him, rolling over so that he lay ontop of Hiei, grinning down at him. The waves lapped up at them, comming up to almost the tip of Hiei's hair, once more wetting it. Hiei smiled, a true smile, not a grin or smirk, up at the fox, and kissed him lightly.
Kurama returned the kiss, yet broke it suddenly. Hiei frowned, worried. "I-... I don't think I want this moment to ever stop, Hiei." Kurama said, quietly.
"Hai, me either, my silly little fox. Now kiss me again, before this water cools us off to much..." Hiei commanded, and Kurama implied. He kissed him slowly at first, hands traveling down the other's body to find Hiei's hands, and linked his fingers with Hiei's. Their kiss deepened, and the world around them melted away...
