"Hiei!" Kurama gasped, sitting straight up in his bed, now wide-awake, eyes wildly flickering around the room, searching for a sign, ANY sign . . .

. . . nothing . . .

Sighing, the fox slumped back on the covers, gazing gloomily out the window, to the tree where Hiei always perched when the fire koorime came to visit . . . moving his moody green gaze to his clock, he found, with some surprise, that it was only three in the morning . . . three hours of sleep . . . how healthy . . . he thought dryly . . .

Shaking his red mane of hair out of his eyes, he walked over to the window, and opened it, letting a cool midnight breeze caress his damp face . . . damp with sweat, at the recent memory refreshed by a dream . . .

"Hiei . . ." he sighed, hearing the exhaustion echo in his voice . . .

Weighing for a brief moment whether to go back to sleep or search for his koi, Kurama lept out the window, instantly deciding the latter. Hiei had disappeared without a word after Kiri-san had made her announcement . . . where could he be?

Strolling down the empty city streets, he realized his best bet was the park . . . so he walked there, his eyes sharp and senses alert for any sign of his beloved's unique youki.

Upon asking the trees when he couldn't locate the fire demon, he followed their directions and found a morose-looking figure laying on a branch in a thick, dark fir. The black cloak was draped over a nearby branch, leaving the fire koorime in only his blue tank top and pants. Allowing himself a sly smile, Kurama climbed up until he was at the same level as Hiei, leaning his back against the trunk; a full half-circle away from where his lover was perched.

They sat in silence like that for a while, until the quiet youkai finally spoke up.

"How was the dance." The tone was flat, blank, conveying no emotion, but the youko knew the half-koorime well, and felt his own heart ache when he realized the pain the other must have gone through.

"It went well enough." The green-eyed fox replied, letting the weariness seep into his normally cheerful and upbeat voice.

"Hn."

There was another moment of silence, before Kurama manipulated the tree, causing the branches to twist and turn, eventually depositing a very surprised fire youkai in his lap. The wide red eyes soon disappeared, though, as Hiei looked away from the fox and closed his eyes, stiffening, but not moving to get away. Without another moment's hesitation, Kurama brought his arms around the shorter demon, pulling him close against his chest, though the fire demon still faced away from him, and rested his nose in the spiky hair, Hiei's scent floating up to him. He sighed.

"Gomen, Hiei. I had no choice; otherwise I would have surely declined." In response, it seemed, the Jaganshi relaxed slightly, now allowing himself to be held without the stiff, unresponsive pose he had been in not an instant ago.

" . . . firefly . . ." the youko nearly cooed, rubbing his nose against the youkai's ear . . . ". . . it's later, ne? . . . I DID promise . . ." a short huff from his lover ruffled the dark bangs hanging over the Jaganshi's forehead.

"Ch. Just can't get enough, can you?" Hiei finally responded in a smug tone. Tints of gold flashed through the green eyes, then disappeared, and the fox's tongue darted out to moisten his own lips.

". . . of course not . . ." he purred after a moment, deciding to give a sharp lick to the ear in front of him. He felt Hiei shiver, and started to slowly move his hands down the fabric of the tank top, pulling it out from where it had been tucked in, deftly moving upwards. A sharp intake of breath answered his movements and the youko's eyes grew even more sensuous, sparking as he leaned his neck down to better nibble at the back of one slim shoulder, his fingers tracing delicately up the fine-toned stomach . . .

Suddenly, he felt Hiei press into him from the front, so close that he blushed darkly when the hard object in his lower parts pressed against the other. So close were they, that he could feel the tightening of the muscles of his lover as the fox's rigid heat pressed at the koorime from behind . . .

Unable to wait, he spun Hiei around and pinned him on the sturdy branch, having his faithful plants rip away at the Jaganshi's shirt, his green eyes glowing with flickers of wildness. Kurama pressed down, pushing his mouth against Hiei's almost feverishly, moving his lips against the other's with a fierce heat. The Jaganshi accepted the move, opening his mouth, and Kurama felt the body below him grow taut as he pushed deeper into the demon's throat . . .

" . . . Hiei . . . "the redhead whispered, when they were forced to draw apart, as crimson eyes flickered up to him, sparks of something altogether foreign in the half-koorime's gaze . . .

" . . . Ku—Kurama . . "the Jaganshi managed out, his breathing having increased with the payback that had been so very long in coming . . .

"Mm-mm . . ." the youko cooed, kissing him again, more sweetly this time . . . ". . . you're wearing too much . . ." Normally, Hiei wouldn't have batted an eyelash at the phrase, but he flushed dark red when the branches began tearing at his lower clothes . . .

"Ku—" he began, but was cut off as the youko kissed his way down the koorime's neck, earning a quick, shuddery gasp from the short demon below him . . .

Not realizing his eyes had been closed, Hiei looked up after a moment, feeling sluggish and hazy from the blush that was still raging across his face . . . his eyes widened when he found that Kurama had, somehow in the short amount of time, shed his own clothes.

If possible, the Jaganshi flushed even darker, his face rivaling that of the kitsune's own red locks . . . and Kurama chuckled, leaning down so that their bare chests met, drinking in the wide, innocent look on his lover's face.

". . . firefly . . . you look so cute right now . . ." he purred, rubbing his face against the fire youkai's muscled chest, his silky bangs teasing Hiei's lips with their softness . . . ". . . mm?" Closing his eyes against the feelings erupting within him, the Jaganshi clenched his teeth, choking out a breathy whisper . . .

" . . . d—n it . . . just DO it, baka!!" A predatory grin spread over the kitsune's still-hidden face, and he looked up to meet the fierce red gaze, directed only at him.

"But Hi-chan . . ." he murmured softly, never breaking eye contact . . . ". . . it's so much FUN to—"finally having had enough, Hiei thrust his head upwards, lips meeting the redhead's in another strong, fiery kiss. Stifling a moan, Kurama's eyes slid closed at the ministrations sweeping through his mouth . . . throwing away all thoughts of teasing the fire youkai any further, he felt a hand down to the youkai's entrance, searching, and . . . pressing a single finger upon the spot, a low sound rumbled from deep within the half-koorime's throat, halfway between a growl and a moan. Kurama slyly smiled again, guiding his manhood, and, pulling his arms around the shallow-breathing demon, thrust in.

Hiei cried out as something ripped inside of him, tears stinging the corner of his eyes, until he felt a gentle hand carefully caressing his own member. Starting to lose himself to instinct, the red eyes slid closed, pain fading to rest in the background . . . giving in to mindless motion, the two demons stayed there well into the next morning . . .

- - - - - - -

Hiei woke, finding himself in an . . . ah . . . awkward position.

Firstly, both Kurama and he were without clothing, on a branch, in a tree, which happened to be directly in the center of a public park . . . thank kami fir trees never shed their needles . . .

Secondly, by the patched sunlight drifting in from above, the fire demon could tell that it was well into the late afternoon . . . Hiei cursed silently at not starting until half the night was spent.

Thirdly, Kurama was asleep, holing him up in a tight embrace . . . well, that he didn't mind so much, but that wasn't the point, SO . . . that led to . . .

Fourthly, he was stuck in a fir tree in his birthday suit, unable to escape, much LESS able to escape the fox's unconscious grasp, and there was this really really REALLY annoying bug that was crawling along his skin, causing it to tickle and twitch wherever it walked . . .

Oh, someone's going to pay for this . . . he thought, images of cutting to pieces and/or murdering any number of ningen that happened to walk by the tree causing a dark, demented smile to drift onto his face . . .

A yawn.

Oh, Kurama was up, now . . .

Turning around in the kitsune's hold, he looked, annoyed, into the half-open lazy eyes that everyone had upon first waking up.

"Ohayo, firefly." the fox whispered sleepily, leaning down to sweetly kiss the button nose. Said 'firefly' scoffed.

"Ch. Can we get down, now?" With another yawn, followed by a nod, Kurama released him, gazing blearily around for his cloth—

His green eyes widened, and he looked at Hiei rather sheepishly.

" . . . ano . . . koi?" The Jaganshi rolled his eyes.

"What now?" The fox was sweatdropping, and very profusely.

". . . ano . . . our clothes are gone."

"NANI?!?"
