Okay! Next chappie!
No! I don't own them. (Sob!)
Kurama opened the window for Hiei as the small demon stepped through. Kurama closed the window again.
"Hello Hiei." Kurama sighed. "How are you?" Hiei raised an eyebrow.
"Great to see you too." He snorted.
"Sorry, Hiei, I'm a bit tired." Kurama laughed. "I am very happy to see you." He smiled, walking over to where Hiei stood at the foot of his bed. He placed a hand on the fire demon's shoulder. "Are you hungry? Do you want something?" The fox asked.
"No fox." Hiei shook his head. "Why don't you come outside with me?" Hiei jerked his head to the window. Kurama looked out the window to the setting sun and took a deep breath.
"I don't know if I could keep up with you." Kurama sighed, scratching the back of his head. Hiei looked curiously to his lover.
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked, reaching up and running his hand over the fox's forehead. "You have a bit of a temperature."
"I'm fine." Kurama smiled, removing Hiei's hand.
"Okay, you're sleeping now." Hiei concluded. "You are having a bath and sleeping, you do not need to get sick."
"Really, I'm fine Hiei." Kurama insisted with a laugh.
"I don't care, get your ass into the bathroom." The fire demon snapped.
"Only my ass?" Kurama jeered.
"Kurama….get in there." Hiei growled, however, he was smiling now that he was thinking about the fox demon's ass.
Kurama got the mischievous glint in his eyes.
"You'll have to catch me first." Kurama laughed. He darted out of the room and down the stairs. Hiei chuckled deep in his throat.
"You're in for it now fox!" He called, chasing after the other male.
Hiei ran down the stairs and looked around. No sign of his fox. But Hiei knew he was there. Kurama often did this when he was in a playful mood, it was normally foreplay for a very passionate event afterwards, so Hiei put up with it.
"Kurama…" He called. Kurama leapt out from behind a chair and darted away, but Hiei noticed that he was slower than usual tonight. He leapt after the fox and brought them both to the ground, Hiei on top of Kurama, who was laughing.
"What's so funny?" Hiei asked.
"I'm…not sure." Kurama laughed. Hiei smiled at the life that seemed to be in the fox's eyes, it always made him smile, well, when they were alone that is. Even around the others, the light in the fox's eyes brightened his mood a little bit. Only when Kurama was around was Hiei able to really forget his thoughts of battle and killing and blood, most of all, revenge. This was where he felt he belonged.
He loved the fox.
It was such a foreign feeling for him. If there was one thing he had been deprived of, what the feeling of love and security. Now that he had it, it was…..overwhelming. He could talk to the fox about everything, whether he chose to or not, depended on the situation. He didn't think that Kurama knew that Hiei hid a lot of things about himself from his lover. Then that made him wonder if Kurama…..kept secrets from him.
"Hiei?" Kurama asked, his soft alto voice bringing the fire demon back to the present. "Are you alright?"
Hiei nodded, feeling the fox's hands ruffling his hair. He leaned down and slowly took Kurama's mouth in his. The two sat, mouths locked, tongues dancing and twining with each other. Kurama broke the kiss, trying to catch his breath.
"Hiei…what are we supposed to do…if my mother walks in?" Kurama smiled.
"Hn. Then, let's move somewhere else." Hiei smirked. Hiei got up off of the fox and scooped him up in his arms. Kurama snuggled into Hiei's chest, even though Kurama was taller, Hiei had no problem carrying the fox.
Kurama's eyes suddenly flashed gold.
Blinking his eyes numerous times, the gold was once again replaced with the green.
Hiei set Kurama down on the bed and climbed on top of him. He leaned down to whisper in Kurama's ear.
"When will your mom be back?" Hiei asked.
"I don't know." Kurama shook his head, he leaned up and kissed Hiei. "I don't care either." He whispered seductively.
Hiei stiffened, it wasn't like Kurama to talk like that, sure, he was playful, but he was careful. Hiei looked into Kurama's eyes and saw a small hint of gold behind the green. That made Hiei worry.
"Fox?" He asked.
Kurama on the other hand was desperately trying to gain full control back. Yoko had taken over part of his conscious, that wasn't good.
"Yoko!" Kurama snapped. "Knock it off!"
"Why? You know the rules." Yoko scolded.
"Yoko, stop!"
"Kurama?" Hiei brought him back. "Kurama, what's wrong?"
Kurama couldn't tell him, he just…couldn't.
"Go ahead, tell him." Yoko hissed.
"Hiei, I…" Kurama trailed off.
"Fox, tell me, you can tell me anything." Hiei assured, running his hand over Kurama's cheek.
(A/N: Ah! That is SO sweet!)
"Hiei…I'm sorry." Kurama pushed Hiei off of him. Hiei backed away as the fox sat up, he was a bit hurt, but he didn't show it.
"Kurama," Hiei looked to him. "What's wrong?"
"Hiei," Kurama shook his head. Not yet. He told himself. "It's nothing, I'm just not myself."
Hiei took Kurama's hand and led him to the bathroom where he started to run a bath for the fox.
I don't know what he's hiding from me, but I never want to see that look of struggle in his eyes ever again. Hiei thought to himself, testing the temperature of the water. I'll find out what's wrong with him, I will protect my fox in any way that I can.
