Kurama and Hiei returned to Ningenkai the next morning. Truthfully, Hiei had planned to stay in Makai and work with Mukuro for a while, but Kurama had pursuaded him to stay, saying that he'd miss him if he left so soon after they had joined for the first time. Then Kurama had given him a sad, pathetic look: one which Hiei could never refuse.

So after dinner, they headed to Ningenkai. They transported back and ended in Kurama's bedroom. Kurama figured this was rather conveinent, and Hiei thought that this was indeed the fox's doing. He had used his energy to choose his landing.

"Stupid fox," he mumbled, turning towards the window.

"You want to leave already?" the fox purred. Hiei turned around to face the demon, though instead saw Shuichii Minamino in his place.

Kurama lunged towards Hiei and pushed him down on the bed, causing the bed to jerk back and hit the wall. "I love you Hiei. I want you to have all my body and soul. I took you, now I want you to take me."

"What?" the Koorime gasped. No way was he gonna fuck the fox.

Suddenly Kurama's face softened, and he laughed. "I'm kidding. Though I would like it, I won't force you. Don't worry, I love you for who you are, and that's not you, ne?" Kurama cocked his head and smiled. Hiei literally let out a breath of relief. "But I'm allowed to do this..." the fox leaned down and planted his lips firmly on the koorime's, which Hiei gladly accepted. He could stand for a million other kisses with the fox... that he would do.

Hiei wrapped his arms around the fox's back, pulling him closer until he was laying on top of him. Kurama's hands were on the back of his neck, pressing his lips even more into his own.

A sudden knock on the door startled both of them, and they jumped apart.

"Shuichii? Are you back from your retreat? I heard some noise..."

Hiei flitted out the window, ruffling the curtains, and Kurama fell forward on his hands, which just seconds before were caressing Hiei's slender neck. He punched the bed angrily and cursed at the intrusion, but he quickly straightened up.

"Ah... yes mother. I returned just a little while ago."

The door cracked open and Shiori stuck her head in. "Oh.. I didn't see you return."

"Yes I'm sorry for not saying hello, I just needed a slight nap. I'm pretty tired. There were so many activities that I didn't get much sleep."

Shiori smiled. "That's all right. You just get to sleep early tonight." Shiori turned to leave but turned around. "Oh, and a friend called. Yusuke I believe. He said he was having a party at his house tomorrow night at five and invited you."

"I'll call him mother. Arigato."

"All right, just get some rest Shuichii."

He nodded, and when his mother left, stood up and grabbed the phone off his dresser and dialed the Urameshi number. It rang twice before Yusuke answered.

"Kurama? You're back!"

"Yeah... um.. about that party tomorrow.."

"Oh yeah! Can you come? It'll just be the regular, you know... me, Kuwabara, Keiko, Yukina, Shizuru, Koenma, you and Hiei if he'll come."

"Yes, I can be there. Hiei'll be there, too."

"Really? You think you can convince him this time?"

"Yeah... this time I know I can convince him." Kurama grinned to himself.

"Okay... whatever you say fox. He listens to you the best, and still you've only gotten him to come to one other party, out of a lot..."

"Well this one'll make two... see you tomorrow Yusuke."

"Yeah Kurama. See ya."

Kurama hung up the phone then flopped down on his bed. Sending out his ki, he called for Hiei to return. Obviously he hadn't gone far, as he was in his room in just a second or two.

"Called me to finish what we started?" the demon grinned slightly.

"Yes and no. Yusuke's having another party tomorrow night at five. Wanna go?"

"Are you?"

"Yes, and I told him that you were coming too."

"Oh really... what if I don't wanna go?"

"I told him I'd make you go. I figured it'd be the perfect time to tell them about us."

"Why are you so eager to tell them fox?" the koorime questioned, leaning against the wall.

Kurama shrugged. "I don't want to keep it a secret from them for very long, and I don't want them to find out by walking in on us some day."

"Oh yeah... you got a point there.."

"See Hiei, perfect time. So you'll come, right?"

The demon shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

Kurama smiled and leaned against the pillows, his head resting on the head board, eyes narrowing with a mischievious gleam to them. "Okay then, c'mere so I can finish what I started."
