"Are you sure about this, Kurama?" Hiei asked uneasily, his eyebrows raised as he surveyed the scene before him. A sweat drop cascaded down the length of the red haired bishou's face and he gulped. Hiei did not sound angry, but Kurama knew he was not pleased.

"Does it bother you?"

"What, this thing?" Hiei asked, speaking as if it was all no big deal at all. Kurama felt relieved; at least until Hiei spoke again. "Of course it bothers me, baka!" Grimacing, Kurama spoke sheepishly:

"Honto ni(really)?"

"Hai! I'm not doing it!" Still, Kurama was desperate.

"Come on."

"No!"

"For a kiss?"

"No way!"

"Not even for me, Hiei-chan?"

"It's a dress, Kurama! I'm not dressing up to look like an idiot!"

"Aww," Kurama smirked. "But you'd look so kawaii." Despite the glare of doom etched in the smaller youkai's eyes, blush seeped into his cheeks.

"No way!" Spinning around, the pyrro turned to stalk off in annoyance. Tossing aside the dress he had chosen, Kurama hurried after his boyfriend.

"Hiei!"

"No!"

"Chottou matte(wait), Hiei-kun!"

"Saru(go away)!"

"Will you just stop?" Persistant, Kurama sped up and cut Hiei off from leaving the ex-thief's bedroom in which they stood. Hiei tried to shove his lover out of the way.

"Move."
"No, Hiei!"

"What happened to your promise?" Hiei finally asked, catching the crimson kou off-guard. Shocked, his pupils dialated. "You said you would tell your kaa-san about us and now you're trying to dress me up as your personal doll! Which is it, Kurama?" The demanding sound of his voice and the betrayal behind his eyes left the older youkai speechless. Hiei glared for several more moments at the demon he loved before taking advantage of his state and shoving him aside. Leaving the bedroom, he headed towards the door.

Once again, Kurama stopped him.

Before Hiei could put his hand on the doorknob, he felt arms embrace him from behind. Startled, he was not able to defend properly. Holding Hiei tightly to his chest, the fire demon felt his body slide comfortably into his koiboto's. Trying to fight off the urge to relapse into shoujo-like bliss, Hiei's eyes remained dangerously narrowed.

"Onegaishimasu(please)..." Kurama whispered into Hiei's ear. His usual velvet voice was shattered with sadness and desperation. The smaller one's heart jolted into his throat. He had not realized until then how horrible Kurama felt for having to resort to this request. "I know I am selfish, Hiei-chan. And I'm sorry. But I want this to work out for everyone. Please..."

Pulling away, Hiei turned and his crimson orbs locked onto his lover's. Before he was even aware of his actions, Hiei had stood erect and had enticed Kurama with a kiss. Breath cut short, hearts skipping a beat; fusions of body scent and longing love filled both boys' nostrils until they were high with their undying desire for each other. Kurama's tongue slid against Hiei's, making their passionate kiss explode. Pulling away, Kurama wanted to slow the kiss but was only brought back more vigorously by Hiei lunging forth and licking the circumfrance of the crimson youkai's lips. Kurama could feel the lust for the pyrro excel and burn through his body like flames to gasoline.

"Hi- Hiei." Kurama pulled away.

"Don't talk." Hiei muttered before bringing the kiss back to life.

"Hiei, no." This time, the fox's desputes were adhered to. Pouting, Hiei looked up at Kurama.

"What?" Smirking, Kurama lifted his milky-white hand and ran his fingers through Hiei's hair. Pulling him closer, he leaned down and whispered,

"Let's not do this in your pretty dress." Hiei flushed and instantly looked down. He had not even realized he was still wearing the "confounded thing" (as he called it). Placing his hand beneath the smaller youkai's chin, Kurama lifted up Hiei's face. The moment crimson orbs met emerald ones, Hiei felt his heart jolt and his mouth run dry. Nodding his head listlessly, he blindly followed his boyfriend to the bedroom.

The next morning...

"Suichi!" Kurama's mother exclaimed happily as her son walked into her home. Returning her smile, Suichi embraced his human mother. "Oh, I am so happy you're here! I made you some lunch. I don't know if you're hungry, but I still felt like I needed to make you something." Kurama said nothing, nor did he have to. All he did was smile and listen as his kaa-san rambled on with excitement. "Oh, but listen to me babble!" She chuckled. "Where is your girlfriend? I have been dying to meet her!"

"She's right here." Kurama said, a slightly nervous as he introduced Hiei. Taking his hand, he led his lover closer to his mother. Deep blue fabric slid off and framed his body to make him look almost like a bonafide bishoujo. His hair was pulled and tied back in a ponytail. Hiei tried his best to remain calm and not rip the dress off and run from the house screaming. Closing his eyes momentarily, he took another deep breath. Remember, Hiei. This is for Kurama. Just get through a few hours and you will be all set. He continued to repeat these things within his head as he reopened his eyes and met his boyfriend's mother for the first time.

"Oh, she is so beautiful, Suichi!" His mother cried. Pushing Kurama slightly away, she embraced Hiei within her arms. "Oh, I am so happy that my boy found a nice girl to fall in love with! You are absolutely wonderful!" Squeezing him tightly, she rocked gently back and forth. Hiei had to try ten times as hard to keep himself under control. He hated being touched, and the only person he would allow to do so was Kurama. He almost pushed her away and decided to give up on the fruitless experiment, when he happened to look over the woman's shoulder. The red-haired bishou stood a few feet away, arms crossed over his chest and a smile on his lips. His eyes were sparkling as he watched the scene before him. Hiei felt his heart melt. If this was for Kurama... he would put up with the hugs and the kisses and the coddling... if only to make his boyfriend happy.

Pulling away, there were tears in Suichi's mother's eyes. Keeping her hands placed on Hiei's shoulders, she held him at arm's length and smiled brightly. "Thank you for treating my boy so nicely. He really deserves someone like you." At that comment, both Hiei and Kurama flushed.

"Kaa-san..." Kurama laughed nervously, embarrassed yet flattered. "You haven't even talked to her yet."

"No," The woman smiled. "But I can tell about these kind of things, Suichi." She glanced over her shoulder at her only son and winked. "It's a sixth sense." Kurama and Hiei both momentarily froze. Both thinking she had seen through Hiei's disguise, they were unnerved until Kurama's mother held Hiei's hand and led "her" to the table. "Eat some lunch. I have rice balls and some sandwiches and drinks and anything else you could want; just ask me." As she hummed happily to herself, she started preparing plates for the two of them. Kurama sat beside his boyfriend, bringing his chair closer so they were nearly touching. Holding his hand tightly under the table, Hiei leaned in and whispered,

"Do you think it's working?"

"I believe so." Kurama smiled. He seemed nervous in this action, but he also seemed genuinely happy. Meeting Hiei's eyes, he nodded his head before whispering, "Daijobu(don't worry), nee?" Nodding, Hiei rested his head on his boyfriend's shoulder.

"Okay! Who wants some food?"

Owari.

For some reason, I transformed Kurama's kaa-san into my grandmother... weird... :shrugs: I will update soon ONLY if you keep up the reviews! C'mon, reviews!
