Chapter 16
Hiei sat high in the trees watching his beautiful redhead cook. When they moved back to Makai seventeen years ago one of the first things Hiei had added was a wood stove and oven so his mate could cook the ningen food they had both come to enjoy.
With a smirk Hiei thought back to last night. He had crawled in bed to find the redhead he loved waiting for him wearing nothing but a smile. They made love well into the night and again in the morning as they washed each other in the stream. After breakfast Kurama announced he wanted to cook and was going shopping in the Ningenkai. Hiei, who never allowed his delicate ningen to travel alone in Makai, accompanied him. As they shopped Kurama didn't ask his mate's opinion on what he bought like he usually did. That was when Hiei realized the special meal his fox was making was not for him. Even without discussing it he knew Kurama's dinner partner tonight would be Kuronue.
They had talked about Kuro that one-time, weeks ago, but not since then and the Youko had not asked for him. Somehow he knew they would talk about him today. For the last few hours he thought about his fox with the Chimera and realized he was okay with it. After all, he would be there to insure that Kuro treated his precious ningen right.
Looking down he realized Kurama's meal was almost done. In a blur he appeared before a smiling Kurama. "I wondered when you were going to come down and talk to me."
Kurama kissed the fire demon's cheek before he went back to his cooking. "Why all the fuss Fox? It's you he wants to taste not your cooking."
The redhead looked shyly at his mate. "When you hid up in the trees I thought you might have figured out who I was cooking for. The fuss, Hiei, is because I'm a little nervous. I don't want him to come out and think were just going to fuck. I think we should get to know each other a bit first. So, since this is technically our first date I thought I'd make it special, ningen food to go with his ningen date. You are okay with this aren't you? Because if you're not, I can eat the shrimp, since you don't like them, and I'll add some more vegetables for you. I'll even send the Youko back if that's what you want…"
Hiei wound his fingers in red hair and pulled Kurama in for a passionate kiss. Breathless, the fox could only stare as his mate spoke. "You were beginning to ramble Fox. I said it was up to you. If you're too nervous then he doesn't come, it's that simple."
Putting his arms around Hiei he tried to reassure him. "No, if it's alright with you, I'd really like to do this. Kuronue has always been just one of Yoko's memories to me, now he is a part of us. A part of you and I want to be with you in either form."
Hiei kissed Kurama again before releasing him. "Why don't I help you get all this food to the tree house before I go."
"No… I… uh… wasn't going to take him there. Hiei, that is your home, it wouldn't be right to be there with him." Kurama was fidgeting nervously.
With a raised brow Hiei turned Kurama to face him. "So, that's why he got to make love to my Youko in the garden, something I've never done. Kurama, that tree house is our home and he is one of us now. Besides, you're a ningen, you should have dinner at a table and make love in a bed. By the way, he will not just fuck you. He will make love to you or he can't have you."
With that Hiei started taking food up to the tree house. Kurama had a huge smile on his face as he called out. "I love you Hiei!"
Once everything was on the table Kurama asked Hiei for a few minutes to freshen up before his date. Kurama slipped on a long silk tunic with slits cut to mid thigh. It was the same green as his eyes with large red roses along the front. He smiled as he looked at the red pants before deciding on a whim not to wear them or the matching shoes.
Moments later he heard knocking at the entrance to the tree house. He had butterflies in his stomach as he turned to greet his date.
Kurama was speechless as he looked up at Kuronue. He hadn't realized how different it would feel being with someone so tall. Kurama's human form was shorter than the Youko and Kuro was much taller than Hiei.
Kuronue was the first to break the silence. "Well, aren't you just the prettiest little thing."
Kurama blushed at the complement. Then Kuro took his hand and kissed the back before turning it over to nibble at the palm. "You taste good too." That's when Kurama's butterflies all took flight.
Kurama laughed. "I'm a Youko at heart, flattery will get you everywhere. Come, I have dinner ready. I know you like seafood so I made shrimp with fettuccini and broccoli in an Alfredo sauce topped with fresh Parmesan. I hope you like it."
Kuro sat on the pillows next to Kurama. "I have no idea what you just said but if it tastes half as good as you do then I'm sure I'll love it."
It didn't take long for Kurama to realize he would need to tap his Youko instincts to keep up with the flirty Chimera. Throughout the meal there was a continuous cat and mouse game of flirting going on and Kurama was surprised to discoverthat he was the mouse, a new role for the centuries old Youko.
Kuro had loved dinner and even helped clean up after. Suddenly Kuronue shouted. "I've got it! I've been trying to think of what to call you all evening. Kurama seems too old and serious for you, you're too cute and cuddly for that. Shuuichi's okay but I can do better. You said you were a Youko at heart and you have the form of a ningen. A kitsune and a ningen make a Kitten. Yes, Kitten is perfect."
Not sure if he should be offended at the cute and cuddly comment Kurama tried to protest. "Kitten? Kuro, kittens are ningen house pets. I get it, this is revenge for when I called Hiei cute and adorable isn't it?"
"Now why would you think that? You are much more cute and adorable than the fire demon. Besides, Kitten, I kind of like the idea of you being my pet." Kuro slowly moved closer as he spoke and took his new kitten by the chin before lowering his head for their first kiss.
Eyes closed as lips met in a soft kiss. Knowing the ningen was nervous Kuronue didn't deepen the kiss but nibbled lightly at his soft lips before moving to his neck. "Mmmm… you do taste good my pretty little Kitten."
The redhead tipped his head back loving the assault on his neck as he wound his arms around Kuro's neck. When the Chimera heard his name moaned by his soon to be lover he kissed him taking advantage of his open mouth to deepen the kiss.
Breathless and aroused Kuro pulled back and rested their foreheads together. "If you're not ready, Kitten, we can stop."
Green eyes met indigo. "Make love to me Kuro-Darling."
That was all he was waiting for as Kuro bent to sweep an arm behind his kitten's knees and carry him to the bed.
