I apologize for the horrible cliff hanger, but I thought it was an okay spot to stop at. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! In this chapter there is a little attempt at some lime. And now, on to the next chapter of Crimson Dreams!

-Chapter Seven

Hiei's POV-

/Hiei, I know you must of found something interesting in my mind. You searched it twice, there's no way you could of missed it. You know how I feel about you./

/Yes, fox. I saw them./

/And…/

As I stared into beautiful emerald eyes that belonged to Kurama, I could see hope and fear in them. He was afraid I would reject him. I would never do that. I … I love him too much.

/And--/

Right as I was going to finally confess, the one device I've always hated in the ningenkai went off. Kurama looked at me, I nodded and went to the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hel-- Wait a minute. You're not Shuichi. Hiei?"

I sighed, "Yes, Ms. Minamino. Um, Shuichi isn't feel so well so I came over to help him out." Hey, I wasn't lying, I just wasn't telling the whole truth. But she didn't need to know that.

I could tell she was nodding, "Thank you, Hiei. Maybe I should just come home, if my son if ill--"

"No! Ahem, Ms. Minamino. That won't be necessary. I've got everything under control. He's not that ill. I'm sure it's just a cold or flu. I'll take care of him till he's better, alright?"

When she didn't answer right away, I involuntarily sucked in my breath. "Alright, Hiei. Just, don't let yourself catch what my son does. If he gets worse, please call me."

"Of course! You have a nice trip now, Ms. Minamino."

Once I hung up the receiver, I let all my breath out and leaned against the wall. Kurama was watching me the whole time, staring intently. Hoping he could understand what was going on.

/Please tell me she isn't coming home./

Looking over at Kurama, I could see desperation in his eyes. Shaking my head, I answered. /No, fox. She was just calling to check up on you. I convinced her to stay where she was. So rest easy, fox./

After hearing that, Kurama plopped backward onto the pillow. Wincing slightly, he placed his hand on his throat. His facial expression became thoughtful and his eyes clouded and dazed. It was amazing that he didn't notice me sitting right next to him on the bed.

Deciding to take advantage of the moment, I gently pulled him into a sitting position. Slowly unwrapping his neck. Thankfully the cloth didn't stick to his wound unlike the one on his torso.

Folding the cloth so the blood was on the inside, I set it down on the floor and examined the extant of the damage. In truth it would of killed a human easily. But since Kurama is no ordinary "human" it wasn't that horrible.

Kurama's POV-

A wave a relief washed over me when Hiei told me my mother wasn't coming home. Bring my attention back to the point at hand, the whole nightmare re-played itself in my mind; almost hypnotizing me.

Only did I notice that Hiei had taken off the rag around my neck, when I felt something come into contact with my wound. Surprising enough, it didn't hurt at all; almost pleasurable. Finally realizing what it was, I couldn't hold back a blush.

Hiei was softly licking away the blood in a slow, cautious manner. Little did he know that it was torture for me. Having him touch me like that put my skin afire, even if it was on a wound. Gripping the sheets, I held back a moan. Something told me he was doing this to me on purpose; to see how far it would take me to lose it.

/H-Hiei./

/Yes, fox/

/Y-you never answered my question./

Reluctantly pulling away, Hiei sat back on his heels. His expression showed that he was deep in thought. I didn't even notice that I was biting my lower lip, until I tasted blood. Still, that didn't stop me from fidgeting as I waited an answer. When he looked up, my eyes went wide. His own red orbs, looked so gentle and caring.

/I know, Kurama. I was hoping you wouldn't notice./

My heart sank.

/I-- I just didn't know how to answer you … until now./

Still wide-eyed, I nodded slowly; watching his every move.

At first, I thought I was dreaming. I was sure I was dreaming. Hiei made his way downward to me, closing his eyes in the process. Finally, our lips met lightly.

What surprised him, was that I returned the kiss rather eagerly. If I wasn't wounded, I probably would have pounced on him; my Youko side ready and waiting to seduce him. However, in my condition, that was just out of the question.

I couldn't help myself, and started softly nibbling on Hiei's lower lip; practically begging for entrance. Thankfully, he granted me that wish. Soon, my tongue was searching his mouth. Memorizing every millimeter, touch, and taste in a matter of seconds.

I was in Heaven.

Hiei's POV-

Feeling Kurama nipping at my lip, I opened my mouth. His tongue soon investigating my mouth. I couldn't believe this was actually happening. I have dreamt this so many times, but never had I thought it would really come true.

That first time yesterday wasn't on purpose. It was the only thing I could think of to stop him from screaming. I don't think his ningen mother would understand why he was bleeding from a wound that just mysteriously appeared out of nowhere.

I was ripped from my thoughts when I felt Kurama's hands sliding under my shirt, and back up my chest. Surprise hit me and I let out a moan when he found my left nipple.

I couldn't think after that.

Everything became a blur.

All I recognized, was the feeling of Kurama's lips upon mine.

Kurama's POV-

My hands wandered up Hiei's well-built chiseled chest until I came upon his left nipple. As a toyed with it, he released a moan that made me want to seduce him until he screamed my name in merciful pleasure.

Not that I don't have that planned for later … but I can't right now.

Damn wounds.

"Ah!"

Hiei's finger tips had found their way to my inner thigh. Moving in slow, small circles. I couldn't hold it in anymore and let out a long, deep moan; vibrating against his lips, which made him shudder. I'm sure he felt me smirk. I was rather proud of myself being able to make Hiei quiver in fear, anticipation, and pleasure.

A/N: Sorry for having to leave it here but I couldn't think of anything else and I'm running out of time to get ready for Winter Guard practice that's in less than two hours. So, yeah that was my first attempt for a lime scene. Be truthful, how'd I do? Did I suck, was I okay?
