Kurama lay in his bed, thinking over the recent events that had taken place. He was in his pajama pants, rubbing the spot where Ryou's sword had pierced him. The fox glanced over at Hiei, sleeping peacefully against his bare torso, the top edge of his boxers visible from under the blanket. Kurama smiled at his partner. 'All is well. I feel it.' Kurama sighed and smiled, draping an arm over the sleeping Hiei. He planted a kiss on the forehead before snuggling closer to him and falling into a dreamless sleep.
Hiei's Dream (His POV)...
I wake up to find my beautiful kitsune gone. Of course I'm a little pissed off that he left his house so damn early, but he's always done that. Not only is he gone, but his mother had been in there this morning. I could tell just by the smell, not to mention the ever popular apron hanging on the desk chair. I sigh and sit up, looking around my love's room. Such a neat freak that kid. So mysterious... it's very intoxicating. He probably went for a walk to clear his mind about this Ryou guy. Oh well. I hop out of bed and dress, them I'm out the window and on the street outside his house. Then I hear him enter his home. Why does he taunt me so? I turned on my heel and jumped through the kitchen window. I'm on the counter as usual, removing my boots and socks, and came face to face with alot of baking supplies. What the hell? There's my Kurama, frilly pink apron and all. I asked him once if he liked the frilly apron. He looked at me and laughed, swearing he didn't. I believe him. His mom needs a new one and soon. But that apron does make him look sexy. I won't tell him that, but what the hell? I walk over to him and take a seat on the counter, right where he's working. The recipe... strawberry cake. Let's just say I got a wild look in the eye, making Kurama a little nervous about what he was doing. Few hours later, the cake sits there, basking in glory, standing extremely tall, and very wide. Kurama pulls out the biggest knife I've ever seen, and hands me a huge piece of cake. I sit there and eat almost all of it, before smearing some in his face and down his rarely exposed neck. His look was of pure surprise! I had to try and not laugh at my wily kitsune. Why is he so damn cute? "Get me a napkin." he says. I scoff at him. Then, I'm struck with an idea. "Hey Kurama, how about I lick it off?" I ask him. If my fox got ever more mischievous, I wouldn't mind a bit! So, I started to lick it off, slowly, watching his face. What a very moody face he has! Good thing his mom isn't home. Now I have so many thoughts through my head. The one that stuck out the most... Is that table cleared off or will I have to clear it myself? I laughed at our predicament.
Kurama's POV...
Here I am, sleeping in my bed, when I'm suddenly awakened by a wet tongue against my cheek. 'What the hell? Ok what's going on? Wait, there's Hiei. What is he dreaming about? Ok, it feels really good, but my mind is very curious. I guess I could enter his mind and see what's going on in there.' I enter the little demon's mind and find one very interesting scene. Here we are, covered with, I'm guessing strawberry icing, on my kitchen table. Not that this hasn't happened before, but it's still shocking to actually witness. 'This is one demented fire demon I've got on my hands.' I leave his mind to find him working on my neck. I grab my pillow and give him one quick whack upside the head. He wakes up and looks at me, a small blush on his face. I laugh at him. He growls and throws his pillow at me. This means war!
Ryou and Bakura...
Ryou awoke to the smell of bacon cooking downstairs. He sighed and left his bed, heading for the bathroom. Ryou entered and turned on the shower, thankful he could finally get a regular shower without the usual searing pain. Ryou took his time, enjoying the warm water on his back. He turned the shower off and headed to his room. Ryou searched his clothes and pulled out a pair of black jeans, and a black button up t-shirt. He threw them on with a black belt and silver buckle and then came the ankle socks. Ryou didn't bother buttoning his shirt as he made his way downstairs. He entered the kitchen to find Bakura cooking feverishly over the stove. Without turning around, he yelled for Ryou. "HIKARI!! BREAKFAST!" Ryou quickly covered his ears, and then smiled at his yami. Ryou tapped him on the shoulder, making Bakura jump. "You don't have to yell so loud Bakura, I'm right here." Bakura whirled around and came face to face with his light. "Sorry Ry...ou." Bakura got a good look at his light, making him utterly speechless. Ryou blushed under the scrutiny. Bakura shook himself of his daze and smirked at Ryou. "Breakfast hikari?" Ryou smiled up at him. "Of course. I'm hungry!" he said, taking the plate from Bakura. Bakura got himself some bacon and eggs, while Ryou made his toast. They ate breakfast in silence, except for the occasional complimentary sounds from Ryou. After the breakfast was eaten and the dished washed, they both plopped down on the couch. "Um, Ryou?" Ryou looked over at Bakura, his eye brow arched with curiosity. "Yes? What is it Bakura?" Bakura sighed and ran a shaking hand through his hand repeatedly. "I... want to apologize. What I did to you was wrong. I was too arrogant and selfish to ever tell you how I felt. Can you forgive me.. Ryou?" Bakura hung his head and dropped his shoulders. "Bakura? How is it, exactly, that you feel about me?" Bakura turned his head to look at his hikari. "I... I love you Ryou."
Ryou's heart skipped a beat. 'Did he just say he loved me?' Bakura looked away, afraid of what was to come. He suddenly felt arms wrap around him, and felt Ryou place his head on his shoulder. "I love you too, and I forgive you." Bakura was so happy he thought he could cry. He turned in the embrace and grabbed Ryou in a hug. He softly whispered into his ear. "Ryou, my angel. I will always protect you now. Never will I strike you." Ryou nuzzled at his yami's cheek, happy Bakura had accepted him. They soon lost their balance, tumbling to the floor in a heap. There was a knock at the door, making Bakura hop off Ryou and answer it. Yugi was there. "Hey Bakura. Do you and Ryou want to come over for a party? We're inviting Suichi." Ryou came up from behind Bakura, smiling at Yugi. "We'd be glad to. When is it?" Yugi thought hard, but had no recollection of the time. Yami came up and put an arm around his shoulder. "Around 4 this after noon." Bakura nodded. "Um, now where does Suichi live again?" asked Yugi. Ryou chuckled. "Bakura and I will drop it off." Yami nodded and handed the invitation the Ryou. "Thanks guys." Yugi said and left the house. Bakura closed the door and turned to look at Ryou. "We are, are we?" Ryou smirked and kissed Bakura's cheek. "Yes. Now let's get going." Ryou threw on his shoes, and Bakura followed him out the door.
Kurama and Hiei...
Kurama looked around the bedroom, noting all the pillow feathers were everywhere. In the white room, Kurama couldn't find the black Hiei. He sighed and walked out of the room, and went to get a shower. He walked downstairs, after cleaning his room, and found Hiei on the couch. "PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" Kurama bellowed, throwing his towel at Hiei. "I was waiting for the shower." he said and disappeared up the steps. Kurama walked into the kitchen and noticed a rather large box sitting on the counter. There was a note attached to it and it read: Suichi, would you and your boyfriend please put my desk chair together? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! -Mom. Kurama scoffed and took the box off the counter. Hiei came down the stairs and saw Kurama and the box. "What's that for Kurama?" Kurama sighed. "My mother's desk chair. She wants us to put it together." Hiei shrugged and ripped open the box. "PACKING PEANUTS!!" Hiei dove into the box, and disappeared from site. Kurama sat down and crossed his arms. "While you're in there, can you get the parts out?" He was granted by silence, followed by a wheel to the head. Soon all the parts erupted from the box, Hiei and the packing peanuts still inside. "Ok. Now get out the directions." The paper shot from the box, and landed in Kurama's lap. 'What service.' "Get out here and help me." Hiei hopped from the box, pink and green packing peanuts stuck in his hair, and sat down. "Kurama, put that box in your room so I can play with it later." Kurama nodded and started reading the directions.
Ryou and Bakura...
Ryou walked down the street, Bakura's arm around his waist. It was early so people weren't really out and around. He looked at the envelope in his hand and sighed. Bakura nuzzled his cheek. "What's the matter my angel?" Ryou smiled. "It's nothing. Just thinking about some things." Bakura shrugged and left it be. They arrived at Kurama's house and walked onto the porch. Ryou was about to knock, when the voices from inside the house stopped him. He listened on, shocked. Bakura was even in disbelief. The two white-haired men pressed their ears to the door, listening to the inside conversation.
"Hiei, give me your damn rod! It has to go in the hole. Are you doing to put it there, or am I going to have to do it for you!?" Hiei scoffed. "Use your own damn rod. I like mine." "Erg, mine doesn't fit. MY rod has a DIFFERENT purpose. Yours is the only one that will fit." Hiei laughed at him. "Fine, here." Kurama took it and tried to put it in the hole. "It's not working. Go get me the oil." "GET YOUR OWN DAMN OIL!" Kurama exhaled sharply. "You're the one that used all the lotion on your hands!" "I COULDN'T GET MY FINGER IN THE HOLE TO CHECK HOW BIG IT WAS FOR THE DAMN ROD!" "WELL MAYBE IF YOU READ THE BOOK! OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU BURNED IT!" Hiei laughed. "KURAMA! You're the one who wanted to do this." Kurama hopped to his feet and pointed at Hiei. "GIVE ME YOUR ROD SO I CAN.. I smell apples. My shampoo doesn't smell like apples. My shampoo is honey suckle...no thanks to my mom for that one." Hiei got up and put an arm around Kurama's waist. "All the more reason you're so delicious." he said, licking his lips. "No, no. Ryou smells like apples. I couldn't help but notice he reeked of apple shampoo. Especially when he fell asleep on my bed." Kurama walked over to the door. He opened it and found a two wide-eyed albinos, leaning in like they were listening. They stood themselves upright, doing anything to avoid eye contact.
Kurama looked at the others strangely before speaking. "Um, what's the matter guys?" He asked while leading them to the couch. Ryou managed to choke something out. "We were... you're conversation..." Kurama thought back to what was said and he stared in shock. "WHAT DO YOU THINK WE WERE DOING!?" Ryou blushed a deep crimson red. "Um..." Hiei sat on the couch, the rod still in his hand. "Sick people. What do you want?" Bakura handed Kurama the invitation. "Only to give you this invite." Kurama read it over and nodded. "We'll be there. I'm bringing Hiei whether that Yugi Moto wants me to or not." Ryou looked at Kurama. "Why not call your other friends? Maybe call Yugi and ask if they're aloud to come. They did rent out the park." Kurama nodded. "Alright." He went into the kitchen and called Yugi. "Hello Yugi. This is Suichi... Just wondering if I could bring a friend or friends... Are you sure it won't be too much?... There is alot of people... Well alright. I'll bring some accommodations... Bye." He hung up, and then called Yusuke. "Hey Yusuke... There's a party... at the... SHUT UP AND LISTEN!.. There is a party at the park that Yugi is hosting. Care to come along?... Ok, call everyone else and report back to me... Bye." He walked back into the living room and sat down. "Now we wait. Thanks for the invitation guys." Ryou nodded and stood. "We have.... things to do. We'll see you all later." Ryou went towards the door, a smirking Bakura behind him. "Bye Suichi, Hiei." He said and left. Kurama started to chuckle. "Gee, I wonder what 'things' they're talking about." Hiei smiled. "I can think of something."
Um, I think there is only going to be one more chapter after this. Maybe two, but I doubt it. Thank you all of my reviewers! If I did make it longer, what would happen? ANY IDEAS FROM YOU REVIEWERS OUT THERE?
VampiregirlE.D- For the ASAP thing not working, it didn't. I could have updated sooner. I just chose not to. And for updating chapter seven so soon... that was actually a part of six. I cut it in half to make two chapters. Touched that you like my story.
Shinigami()- Zhincoya, but I was just experimenting. I don't like to change things without getting a reviewer's POV. Also very glad you didn't stop reading it. One chapter left to go. Maybe more. What do you think?
