Angel: Where did I leave off? ...Ah yes, Hiei and Yukina are about to meet.
"Nii-san?" Yukina gulped and clutched her purse.
"Hai, Yukina." Hiei stood up and cupped his sister's face in his hand. "It's been a long time, sister."
"Oh, Hiei!" Yukina latched onto him and Hiei hugged her back. "I've missed you so, so much!" Her eyes watered and she sniffled, a tear falling to the floor as an ice blue gem.
"So have I." He let go of her and everyone took a seat on the picnic table. "This is Kurama, my mate."
"Hello!"
"And you know Yusuke, seeing as he caused all this." Hiei snarled at Yusuke who grinned and ran a hand through his black, green tinted hair.
"Didn't you want to see me again?" Yukina sniffed again, eyes watering.
"Sort of." Hiei sighed and Kurama held his hand tightly, comforting him. "You might not understand."
"Because you're a vampire? Momma said that because you had more vampire blood, you had to go away. That no one would understand you."
"Hai." He tapped the moonstone. "I thought you didn't know."
"Nii-san! I'll always understand! And I'm really glad you are here now. We're family again!" She hugged him and he looped an arm around her shoulders.
"Sort of. Only one thing, Yukina. I'll visit you, understand?"
"Hai, Nii-san. Let's go on some rides, please!" Yukina begged.
"Hn. Fine. But I promised Kurama I'd go on the tunnel of love with him. Alright?"
Yukina nodded and jumped up along with everyone else, heading to the tunnel of love. They met Touya, another vampire, in back of the line.
"Go ahead. I'm just waiting for Jin andRose." He sighed, his ice blue moonstone flickering green. Envy.
"Jealous, Touya? I expect better of you." Yusuke chuckled. "Ano, I understand though. I remember what is felt like to not have someone."
"I don't have a partner. Maybe you could, um, ride with me, Touya-san?" Yukina stuttered and blushed. "My name is Yukina."
"I'd be honored, Yukina. Just no titles please. They make me feel old." He smirked and kissed her hand.
"Touya." Hiei grunted. "Hurt my sister, you will turn to dust in the sun with a stake in your heart and a mouth and stomach full of garlic. Got it?"
Touya winced and nodded, then joined the line with Yukina beside him.
"You should trust Touya more. He's very respectful." Kurama whispered in Hiei's ear.
"I'm protective of my sister. So sue me." Hiei shrugged as Kurama leaned over him, hugging him.
"I know. I understand the need to protect someone you care for. I worry about Yusuke a lot, the way he always gets into fights. But now, he has Kuwabara to help and protect him. I'm going to let go." Kurama kissed Hiei on the neck, running his fangs on the warm, ivory flesh. "If things work between Touya and Yukina. Let go."
"I will. Once I trust him."
"Good. It's our turn to get on." They climbed in behind Yusuke and Kuwabara, who were in front of Yukina and Touya.
((Kuwabara's P.O.V.))
"Kazuma, come here, love." Yusuke whispered huskily and pulled me close. I felt two fangs on my neck and I moaned when he licked.
"Yusuke," I groaned and took out my fangs, putting them in my pocket. I wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him onto me.
"I finally get to see your gorgeous body for real." His hands went under my shirt, the cold making me jump up.
"Dang, your cold!" I regretted saying it when he sat up, looking away. "Why weren't you like that before?"
"Part of being undead. No heartbeat, no warmth. I was before because I had just fed."
"I don't care." I leaned my head on his shoulder, an arm around his waist. "My-"
"Iie, Kazuma. A creature of the light and warmth, and one of the dark and cold, are forbidden to be. It's written in the Book."
"I'll become a vampire." I said stubbornly.
"No, you won't. You can't be warm, you can't live in the same place too long, and you watch your loved ones grow old and die." He pushed me off him as the ride ended. "I've been foolish. Good bye, love."
"Yusuke!" I followed him, but he broke out running, so I ran too. "Yusuke!"
We left the fair grounds, and went into the woods.
"Leave me alone, human! Go back to your life!"
"Shut the fuck up!" I ran faster. "I don't get what your problem is, but I am not losing you!" A branch hit me in the face, knocking me down. I opened my eyes, but they stung too much, so I couldn't see. I felt tears in my eyes, from the pain, and losing Yusuke. "Koibito,"
I sat and cried until I could see, then, I stood and headed towards the sound of the carnival. I felt numb as I found my car and drove out. My heart felt like it was split, and everything was spilling into my lungs, choking me. I don't understand why he left. Just because of some stupid book. I didn't care about being warm, I preferred the cold. I only had the three goons I call friends who ditched me, and my sis, Shizuru, ran off with some guy named Sakyo.
When I got home, I stripped to my boxers and crawled into bed. I didn't cry, I didn't mope, and I just laid there until I finally fell asleep. The last thing I thought was, 'Let me see him, please, let me see him.'
((Kurama's P.O.V.))
Once we were in the tunnel, I began kissing Hiei's neck. I ran my fangs up and down his ivory skin, my tongue darting out to lick.
"Kitsune," Hiei sighed and leaned into my arms, purring gently.
"Aishiteru, Hiei." I sighed as I ran my hands along his skin. Cold to those of the light, but warm to each other. I loved being with Hiei, it felt so wonderful… I only reached Nirvana when I'm with him. Even after the flower child movement ended and the styles changed, I kept my way of life…except I didn't smoke anymoreor Hiei would be incredibly upset with me. Why should I think of this now? I should be thinking of Hiei's hand trying to undo my belt that doesn't come undone. Suddenly I noticed the light at the end of the tunnel was becoming brighter. Darn it!
"Too short, ne, Kurama?" Hiei sat up, pulling me close. "We'll finish when we go home."
"Most definitely." I whispered back huskily. Then I noticed Kuwabara chasing after Yusuke and wondered what was going on. "Koi, do you-"
"What happened to letting go?" He asked.
"You're right. Let's find Yukina and Touya." I nodded, banishing my worries.
((Kuwabara's P.O.V.))
I was alone in the dark, like in all my dreams before Yusuke came. It was nice, being away from my troubles, because I had complete control. Except I couldn't create other people, until I thought about having someone just for me. Then Yusuke came,
"I'm glad you made a wise choice, my son." A woman's voice approved. "The children of the Sun are not meant to be with my children."
"Yet so many admire you." Yusuke's voice sighed, sad, exasperated. "And they curse the Sun."
"So true. Humans, such an odd race, what does Sol'arius see in them?" Her voice grew distant, and I saw a woman in all white with pale skin and silver hair sigh. Yusuke was on his knees in front of her. "No matter. Also, my son, you have revealed secrets of our kind to him. "
"Yes, my lady."
"You must kill him. Or, turn him into one of my children. Though I would forgive you quicker if you killed him. He's too ugly. Too, rough, to be one of my children. "
"Yes, my lady. I will do as you bid." I saw a tear of blood fall down his cheek. I felt a tear of my own and wiped it away.
"Good. Pleasant dreams, my son." She vanished, and Yusuke broke out crying.
"Yusuke!" I ran to him and pulled him into my arms. He stopped crying and I wiped them away. They vanished, and he smiled. "Yusuke, I-"
"The Goddess wants me you kill you, or makeme a vampire." He nodded. "I prefer the latter."
"I thought you didn't like being cold." I winced at the bitter tone.
"I was joking when I said you were cold. I liked it, for some reason, it made me feel warm. I liked it. "
"Kazuma, meet me in the park when you wake-up." He vanished, and I tried to wake-up.
((Koenma's P.O.V.))
Yume and I were introduced to a roller coaster, and I was being choked by my bride. I wrapped my arms around her and she relaxed, allowing sweet breath into my lungs. True, I didn't need to breathe, but it was an old habit that would never… die.
"Let's never do that again, agreed?" I asked as we got off.
"Uh-huh." Yume was shaking slightly and I wrapped my arms around her. "Thanks."
"Let's go sit, so we can both get our nerves back." She smiled and we sat on a bench, curling up together.
"I'm glad you wanted to come out." Yume purred, nuzzling my neck.
"I like fairs. I remember going to them when I was younger." I sighed, smiling at the memories. "So much fun."
"They had them that long ago?" Yume giggled and I glared.
"I'm not that old, ya know."
"I know, and, you look so cute when you're flustered."
"I should put you on a roller coaster alone."
"NO!" She pouted, using the Innocent-Puppy-Pout, as she called it. "Don't do that, Koe-koi! I'm scared of those things!"
"I won't." I growled, looking away.
"Yay!" She hugged me and I hugged her back, stroking her hair. Her tiger costume was so cute, a tail held up on a wire, a headband with two ears; paw gloves and boots, and a mask that fit over her nose, giving her whiskers and cat muzzle. "Love you."
"Love you too, Yume." I kissed her sweetly. "My beautiful kitten."
"Whoot! Look at that hottie!" A man in a cheap Dracula costume hollered.
"I'll say! Hey, Kitty Kat, If ya want a real man-" Yume hissed, arms crossed.
"I'll stay with Koenma if I want a real man!" She snarled.
"Come love, we'll find some decent people to talk to." I placed a hand around her waist and she followed obediently. "Don't waste your time on them, they aren't worth it."
"I know. It just gets me so frustrated."
"Then don't where the clothes you wear."
"I only wear these because you like them." She petitioned.
"Don't torture yourself because of me, Yume." I kissed her neck, nibbling where I had marked her.
"Koenma," She sighed. "Let's just go home."
"Happily." I smiled. "There are too many spectators for me to give you the attention you deserve."
"She looks like a prostitute." I heard a girl in a wedding gown huff. "Figures why he's all over her."
"Seriously. Girls like her give the rest of us bad names." Another, in a cheerleader costume, agreed.
"Do I look like that?" Yume asked.
"Iie. Though I have an idea."
"Nani?" She sniffled. I kissed her forehead and pulled her close.
"We'll get you new clothes that you like, not what I like. What do you say?"
"Thanks, Koenma."
((Yusuke's P.O.V.)) EDIT HERE!
"I just wanna know why you left in the first place." Kazuma looked nervous, and I stroked his hair to calm him down.
"I heard the Goddess talk to me. If I hadn't listened, she would have killed you." I kissed his neck and he stooped slightly to be at my level. "It was for the best. Now, I'm going to finish this."
"How?"
"Come with me, trust me."
"I do trust you." I covered his eyes with my hand and made them close. I closed my own and summoned nearby shadows to take us to my coffin chamber. When I uncovered his eyes, he gasped.
"How did we-" I kissed him, silencing him.
"Hush, Kazuma. There's a lot to be done." I waved a hand and all the candles in my room were lit. "I'll teach you that stuff later."
"That'll be cool." He sat silently, and then noticed apparently, he was in a coffin. "Do we-"
"Just to sleep on days we don't use a bed. And when Sol'ar decides to be fierce." I grew out my fangs, making them long enough to make a permanent scar.
"What?"
"When the days are too bright, we have to stay in here. That's why there are no windows."
"Oh."
"Ready?" I was shaking slightly, knowing this would hurt him. Dieing, and then being reborn with no blood, cold, and no breath, decomposing then being recreated.
"Hai. Aishiteru, Yusuke." He let me push him down into the coffin. "Aishiteru, Yusuke." I think he repeated more for himself then letting me know how he felt.
"Aishiteru, Kazuma." I gulped, kissing him passionately. "You have to stay inside for three nights. I have to lock the top."
"It'll be worth it." I bent down, kissed him again, and moved to his neck. Right on the jugular, I bit, gulping down the red fluid. It was sweet, warm, and made me suck greedily. It was wonderful, feeling like this… Like being with a lover. Kazuma was thrashing from pain, but I held him down, and moved on top of him. I sucked out the last few drops and he went limp.
"Don't worry love, it'll be over soon." I stroked his face sadly. I cut my wrist with a quick bite and pressed it to his lips. I felt his tongue lick at it and then he suddenly latched onto me, sucking out as much as he could. Then the convulsions began, and I closed the coffin, strapping it down and shut tight with heavy metal and leather straps. The coffin shook, he screamed in pain, and I left, unable to hear it. If I did, I would try to comfort him.
"Yusuke, are you all right?" Kurama placed a hand on my shoulder. Hiei was behind him, as were Yukina and Touya.
"I'm making Kazuma my mate." I winced as a loud scream came from my room.
"You want to comfort him." Hiei said.
I nodded. "What do I do?"
"Nothing. You have to be strong and let it go. And don't open the coffin until Sol'ar is gone on the third night."
"It's all right." Kurama rubbed my arm. "You'll be together soon, and no one, not even the Goddess can stop it."
"Thanks, Kurama." I smiled slightly and headed to the training fields on the other side of the mansion so I wouldn't hear anything.
((That Night))
"Goodnight, Kurama." Hiei stroked his lover's hair. Kurama was flat on his back, Hiei leaning above him.
"Goodnight, Hiei." They curled up in each others arms, content and happy.
Near morning, a dark figure silently penetrated the room and lifted Kurama gently, wrapping him in black cloth save his face.
"Mine. My beautiful Kurama."
