With Kuro around thing will get a little more playful. Hope everyone's okay with that. Thanks again for the reviews.

Chapter 11
Kuronue chuckled, amused at Kurama's stunned expression. "I've been gone two hundred years Foxie, I think I at least deserve a kiss."
That was all the incentive Kurama needed to launch himself into Kuronue's arms. Braced for impact and using his wings for extra balance the Chimera managed to stay on his feet as he was pounced by an over exuberant Youko. He laughed as his lover kissed and licked him excitedly. "I missed you too Foxie."
The laughter left Kuronue's eyes as he grabbed Kurama and pressed him against a tree. Deep indigo eyes met gold before the Chimera lowered his head for a heart-stopping kiss.
Instinctively Kuronue's hand moved to undo the sash at the Youko's waist. The sash was on the ground and the fox's tunic was half off before Kurama came to his senses enough to slow things down. "Kuro wait. I'm not ready for this. It feels strange after all this time. It's been decades since I've been with anyone but Hiei. I know you are the same but it still feels like I'm betraying him."
Kuro rested his forehead against Kurama's and drew a deep breath. "It's alright Kurama, I understand. Maybe we should talk first."
The fox smiled as he nodded and moved to right his clothes. He then took his lover's hand and led him into the forest. He wasn't comfortable taking his old lover into Hiei's home. Deep in the forest he had a special place he went sometimes to be alone. Hiei knew of it of course, but understanding his mate's occasional need for solitude, he had never intruded there. Surrounded by thick trees were lush grass, plants and an abundance of flowers, a Youko's garden paradise.
Kurama pulled Kuro to sit beside him in the grass. He reached out a tentative hand to touch his lover's cheek in utter amazement. "Baby I can't believe you're really here. I have so many things to say to you, I don't even know were to start."
Kuro pulled the Youko's tail into his lap and began stroking it. "I already know Foxie. I know you love me and missed me. I, however, am not sorry you ran away that day, because it means you lived to be here now, for me... and Hiei."
With happy tears in his eyes Kurama laughed and hugged Kuro. "You know what I say to Hiei don't you? How long have you known?"
Knowing his lover still needed time Kuro pulled back and continued stroking the Youko's tail. "Yes, when you are with him, I am aware. It's as if I'm with you too. I don't have actual memories of Hiei's past, before you, but have learned of it over the years. The first real memories of his I have happened when he first saw you. It was like I awakened and my life began again only for you. Then the idiot screwed up and lost you. I'm sure it was me constantly nagging his subconscious, along with his own need to see you that made him find you again. I've tried to make him aware of me before, unsuccessfully. Then a few weeks ago my memories started flooding his dreams. I tried to control what he saw, I wanted him to willingly accept what we meant to each other. You know the rest."
"Yes, Baby, I do, I got you back." Kurama's response was almost a sigh. Coherent thought was becoming difficult for the fox.
Kurama was being slowly tortured with pleasure. A Youko's tail is only one of his many erogenous zones. Kuro knew this fact and was using the information to drive his lover crazy. Slowly, he crawled over Kurama, pushing him down into the grass. Several minutes later they were lying in each other's arms trying to catch their breath. Kuro brushed hair from Kurama's eyes as he looked down at the fox's dreamy expression. "You've changed Foxie."
Kurama's smile faded. Kuro was quick to reassure his fox. "No, I didn't mean in a bad way. Actually, you were changing even before I left. In the beginning we were two strong males fighting for dominance at every turn. It was fun but at the same time almost tiring. In the last few years we were together you didn't fight quite so hard. I began to think you preferred me in the dominant role, at least in our private life. The change in you continued with Hiei, especially after you were human. Now you seem to thrive on his dominance."
Thinking a moment, Kurama couldn't disagree. "You're right. I do prefer the more submissive role and it started years before you died. At first I was trying to keep you away from those women. Then I realized being dominated really turned me on but I didn't want you to know it, me being a macho male and all. After you died I went back to the dominant role. Losing you hurt so much my Darling and I refused to be vulnerable like that again. Then Hiei claimed me. He fought harder than you did and rarely allowed me dominance in our private life. After being human I rarely asked for it."
Kuronue rolled Kurama on top and held him tight. "I'm sorry my leaving hurt you. I'm even more sorry I betrayed you. You were right about the woman, I never really wanted her. Don't look so surprised, there really was only one. Sometimes I just got tired of having to fight to love you. After that last time you found out about her I never went back. You were everything I needed and I never wanted to see that hurt look in your eyes again."
The fox nuzzled Kuro's neck. "I guess we both changed. Kuro, if you had lived, do you think we would have mated?"
Kuronue answered without hesitation as he tipped his head back giving his fox's wandering lips better access to neck. "Yes, eventually. We're soul mates and we will always be together"
"I'm glad you feel that way. If you will allow me a moment of dominance there's something I should have done a long time ago." There was mischief in the Youko's golden eyes as he held the Chimera to the ground and sank his fangs into his soft neck.
Kuronue gasped in surprise but willingly allowed his lover to mark him. He only spoke when he felt a warm tongue cleaning the fresh wound. "Hey Foxie, I thought Hiei and I had dominance in this relationship?"
Kurama purred his response. "Of course you do Baby but Hiei and I are already marked and I didn't want you to feel left out."
Quickly reversing their positions Kuronue pinned his new mate to the ground. "I'll concede I can't mark myself but I will be the one claiming my mate tonight my beautiful Fox."
Kurama shivered as he surrendered to his mate but as they kissed and began to undress each other Kuronue could still feel some hesitation. "What's wrong Foxie?"
The fox tried to draw Kuronue back into their love play without answering but the Chimera wouldn't play without an answer. "Kuro, I want this so much but I can't help thinking of Hiei. Are you sure he's alright with this?"
"Kurama, through Hiei I have been your lover for years. Tonight he will be your lover through me. Foxie, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. You told him you wanted one last chance to love me and because he loves you he gave me to you. You won't return his gift without unwrapping it first now will you?" With the last statement he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
Kurama giggled. "Oh no, we can't have that. My human mother would never allow me to be so rude as to return a gift, especially without unwrapping it first to see if I like it."
Several minutes later, after making sure Kuronue was completely unwrapped, Kurama sighed contentedly. "My Hiei always gives me the best gifts, he knows just what I like."
Kuronue chuckled. "Maybe you should try me on, you know, make sure I'm a good fit and work to your ah… satisfaction."
Kurama was enjoying their game. "Baby, I thought you knew, I've had one of these models before. They are very hard to come by, I had to wait two hundred years to replace my last one. He fit perfectly and always gave me complete ah… satisfaction."
"Oh, but that was the old 'Lover' version I am the new improved 'Mate' model. I promise you will be more than pleased with my performance so just lay back and enjoy the ride my love." The game was over, Kuronue was ready to make love.
Kurama surrendered without hesitation. "I love you Kuro, I love you both so much."
