Goodbye, Stay Alive

Hiei didn't like this mission one little bit. It is going to be a hard one, he thought. A slight shiver ran up his spine as he remembered the last time he was in the castle. Deceit and shameless murder ran wild and in abundance. Even though he was a guest there last time, Hiei could barely stomach the cruelty and pain the Lords inflict on others. Shrieks of pain were never ending below in the dungeons, where the Lords like to have their fun. And on the top floors, Hiei didn't even want to think about it.
However, there was one advantage that Hiei had been to the castle before. He knew where they keep the chemical labs, and where they keep their test subjects. 'I'll just have to sneak inside one of those labs and find out what they are up to. Should be no big deal.' It wasn't a big deal; it wasn't even very difficult to sneak in as a servant, especially a female one. But it was that Hiei didn't want to be in those labs, the labs that contain the horror of the specimen. Deranged and crazed for food and blood, these specimens were nightmares born out of dreams. They were savages, monstrous beings tested upon again and again by the scientists, just so new drugs can be created. It wasn't a pretty sight.
Hiei sighed. 'And plus all that, I have to be in a stupid dress. Koenma better let me chose the color.'
Twisting and turning on his bed, Hiei finally fell into a fitful sleep.
MeanwhileYusuke was in heaven. He never felt so happy in his entire life. It was like his whole world has collapse and rebuilt into something flawless, with the perfect person in front of him, kissing him. Soft sounds of pleasure and need emitted from both the boys mouths. Out of breath, Yusuke pulled away first, with a sheepish smile on his face. The taste of Kurama still lingers on his lips, and he wanted more. But first, he needed to breath before he fainted.
Kurama's eyelids were heavy with lust and his voice thick with desire. "Yusuke, so perfect," he murmured as he traced a line across Yusuke's face with his finger.
Yusuke looked down, blushing as Kurama kissed him lightly all over his face. 'I can't believe he likes me!'
Holding the boy in his arms, Kurama closed his mouth over Yusuke's again, this time with more confidence. Complying with the sweet kiss, Yusuke draped his arms around Kurama. Tongues battled and entwined, teasing and savoring the moment.
The kiss ended with both of them amazed and content. It took a few seconds for Yusuke to realize that he kissed Kurama! 'Shit, I really kissed him, and it's a Him! Not a Her. Isn't it supposed to be wrong for me to kiss a guy? But it feels so damn right it's scary.' Yusuke, scared that his relationship with Kurama had changed too dramatically in a too short period of time, pulled away and got up. Unwilling to meet Kurama's eyes, he looked for some kind of excuse to get out of the room.
But Kurama spoke first. "Yusuke. Tell me, do you not like me?"
"I-I do, but-."
"But what? You like me, and I like you. What we did is perfectly acceptable. Don't be ashamed of it, I'm not."
"I-, it's just going too fast. I didn't see it coming. Kurama, I do like you, a lot, but give me some time to deal with this ok?"
"Fine. So how about dinner Friday?"
"What?" Yusuke looked into Kurama's eyes.
Kurama gave Yusuke a gentle smile. "What? I can't ask a guy I like out on a date?"
"Ok. But I'm telling you, I'm picky, so you better bring me to a good restaurant." Yusuke helped Kurama up from the floor.
"Well, then I'll see you tomorrow for the mission and wear something nice for the dinner." Kurama picked up the forgotten books, now scattered all over the floor, and headed out the door.
"Wait!" Yusuke stopped Kurama as he was just about to leave.
"Yes?" Kurama turned around to face Yusuke.
"You forgot these," Yusuke handed him the chocolates. And gave Kurama a quick peck on the lips. "Bye. Be safe."
"Goodnight Yusuke." Kurama returned the kiss and walked away, waving and smiling.
The Next Morning
"Hey so what did I miss?" Yusuke sauntered into the room, and four pairs of eyes glanced up at him.
"Glad you made it, Uremeshi. We've already discussed our plans to make a way into the castle." Hiei held a small bundle under his arms.
"Yea, and you missed Hiei choosing a dress too," Kuwabara snickered. "I think yellow is a really good color for you, Hiei."
"Go to hell, human." Hiei scowled. "At least I don't have the job of picking up horse dung."
"Am I missing something here?" Yusuke asked, sitting next to Kurama.
"Well, Kuwabara is going to work in the stables, and Hiei is a maid, bringing food for the Lords." Kurama looked at Yusuke, glad that he decided to sit near him.
"It should work. I've already had others capture the stable hand and the maid, and with so many servants coming and going, they wouldn't notice a thing." Koenma seemed in a much better mood today. "Oh, yea, before I forget, let me give you these." Taking four small mirrors out of his pocket, Koenma gave them to the team. "These are your communicators. They are activated when you open it, but be careful when you're using them, especially Hiei and Kuwabara, because it uses a small, tiny amount of your spirit energy to power themselves. In other words, keep the conversation short. I also have one, so I can monitor your progress. Questions?"
"What are we supposed to do while those two are away? I mean besides monitoring them." Yusuke turned the mirror in his hands examining the gadget.
"I wanted to wait until Yusuke got here before explaining a new mission. Here it is. I just received a short message from one of my spies in the castle. Apparently, he couldn't communicate until now because they are keeping an extra tight guard for intruders and spies these last few days. The good news is that they've already loosened up the security. The bad news, well, they've already decided the new drug is perfected and sending it to the human world. That was last night, so I assume the drugs are already here. Although I don't know exactly where they sent the new drug, I've had reports of high-energy activity near the docks. Since it is mostly deserted at that spot it would be the perfect place to keep the drugs, or to test them out on humans. I know there are some underground parties going on around there. Here is the flyer for one of them, on Friday and I want Kurama and Yusuke to check it out." Koenma handed Kurama the flyer and gave them all an encouraging look.
"So, we get to party? It doesn't sound that bad." Yusuke put his arms behind his head and pretended to be relaxed.
"This is serious, Yusuke. At least try to be careful, there might be dangerous people there." Koenma looked to Kuwabara and Hiei. "Ready boys?" They nodded.
"As ready as we can ever hope to be." Kuwabara grinned and tried not to look too nervous.
"Here it is. The portal to the demon world." Koenma waved the two boys to go through.
"Bye. Stay alive." Yusuke cheered as two of his teammates went through the portal. Kurama gave them a wave of goodbye, along with a trail of rose petals following the two brave souls.
Kurama's House
Kurama looked to Yusuke. "Friday? I guess we'll have to postpone our dinner till next week."
"Yea, but hey did you notice that there is no address here? How are we supposed to find out where the party is?" Yusuke scratched his head in confusion.
"Haha," Kurama petted Yusuke's head. "Silly, you call the info line for the address. This is an underground, you know."
"Okay, give me the number. I'll call right now." Yusuke grabbed the flyer and started to dial.
'Hi! Welcome to Blast Off by Demon Lair. We are celebrating this event with something special, something secret. So please, don't miss this incredible night, Friday April 20th. It's from 8:30 to 4 am. Tickets are at the door. Directions given at seven o'clock on Friday.'
"Grr… It won't tell us the directions," Yusuke slammed the phone down. "Directions given at seven o'clock on Friday," he quoted.
"We'll just have to call tomorrow then." Kurama took Yusuke's hand. "Come, I have something to show you."
"Huh? Kurama-," Yusuke began as Kurama hushed him and told him to close his eyes. "Ok, but this better be good."
"It will be. Now don't open your eyes until I say so ok?" Kurama led Yusuke deeper into his house.
"Ok." Yusuke was really curious now.
After many twists and turns, Kurama finally stopped and told Yusuke to open his eyes.
Yusuke gasped in delight. In front of him were so many beautiful things. On a white linen table, with two plates on each end, were piled with food! That's right, food. Yusuke could feel his mouth watering as the aroma of roasted chicken, steak, pasta, sushi, cake, and more called to him. "Hello," Yusuke said to the food as he descended upon the cake first.
"Yusuke! You're supposed to eat that last." Kurama snatched the cake away from Yusuke's greedy hands.
"Kurama, did you make all this?" Yusuke felt his eyes watering. No one had ever gone to so much trouble making him food. All he ever had at home was frozen dinners or leftovers.
"Yes, I di-," Kurama couldn't finish the sentence, as Yusuke's mouth was suddenly latched onto his.
"Thank you so much. I love it!" Yusuke said as he finished the kiss.
"You're welcome, my dear." Kurama began to feed Yusuke pieces of food from the table. Yusuke savored every bite until he got tired of getting fed so slowly and began to eat with his hands. Kurama just sat, smiling to himself as he watched Yusuke gobble up the food.
Another one finished. =)
