Haru: Alright, another chapter! I really like this story for some reason, so it'll probably get updated more then my other ones. Here's chapter two!
Chapter 2
The rest of the night at the Urameshi house was normal, well about as normal as a house containing a spirit detective, a large oalf with the brain of a chipmunk, and two demons that are secretly in love can be. After the four of them finished off the rest of the food and Yuusuke had beaten Kuwabara twenty-three times at Super Smash Bros., the four of them decided it was time to call it a night.
"Hey Hiei, where are you going to sleep night, it's gotta be like ten degrees out there" asked Yuusuke as he finished putting up gaming system.
Hiei came close to saying "Kurama's place" but at the last second he caught himself and only let out a small grunt.
Kurama realized what Hiei had almost done and quickly interjected, "Hiei is a fire demon, which means they can survive in extreme climates, so Hiei should be fine, right Hiei?" Hiei looked up at Kurama for a second before giving a noise of approval, at least that's what everyone thought it was.
"Well, I guess I'd better get home before Shizuru gives me another lecture" said Kuwabara as he waved to everyone before leaving.
"I'd better go too. Okaasan won't be home until late tonight and I wanted to finish up the rest of the laundry" said Kurama as he walked out the door. Hiei only gave off a small noise before he disapeared from the room as well.
As Kurama walked home he pulled the ends of his coat tighter to protect himself from the bitter winds that had begun blowing. Suddenly, Kurama felt the ki of another figure close by, and before he could reach for a weapon, he saw a shadow over him.
Kurama quickly spun around to defend himself, only to find that the shadow belonged to his youko lover. "Hiei! You need to be more careful! I was about to attack you!" Kurama said excitedly.
Hiei grunted, "baka kitsune, as if you could hurt me."
Kurama looked offended for moment, but quickly smiled at his youko, "and who was the one who came close to telling those other two where you've been sleeping?" Hiei began to blush as dropped his head.
Kurama let out a small laugh before grabbing the youko's hand. "Come on, let's walk through the forest." he said, leading a somewhat reluctent Hiei onto a small path that lead into the woods.
As the two walked side by side down the path, the wind began picking up, causing Kurama to shiver. Hiei noticed the kistune shaking from the cold and quickly took off his cloak and placed it over Kurama's shoulder.
"Hiei, what about you?" asked Kurama.
"Baka, you said it yourself, I can handle this climate better then your ningen body can."
Kurama smiled a bit, "you know, I was just making that stuff up." Hiei gave a small shrug as he averted his glance to the trees around them. Kurama continued to smile as he pulled the youko closer to him and shared the cloak with him.
As the wind continued to blow, Hiei and Kurama finally made there way out of the woods and began walking down a sidestreet before finally reaching Kurama's house. "Hiei, you can wait inside my room while I go see if anything needs to be done" said Kurama. Hiei nodded and walked up the stair to Kurama's room.
Kurama walked into the kitchen and quickly checked the refrigerator before noticing that the answering maching had a message on it. Kurama pressed the button and listened to the message, although it was tough top hear with all the background noise.
"Suichi-san, it's mother. There's been a ten-car accident in town and it seems the doctors need everyone to stay to help witht he patients, so it looks like I won't be home until mid-afternoon tomorrow. If you get hungry you can use some of the emergency money to buy a pizza. I love you!"
The machine beeped as the message ended, but Kurama had already left the room before the message had ended. As Kurama entered his room he found Hiei sitting on his bed, waiting for his kitsune to come back. "Find anything?" asked Hiei, getting up from his place.
Kurama sat down where Hiei had been sitting, "yes, okkasan won't be back until tomorrow. At least we won't have to make up an excuse this time."
Hiei nodded, remembering the last time night he had stayed over. Kurama's mother had come home earlier then expected and found them laying in bed together, but Kurama has quickly made up on excuse about Hiei's house being fumigated and him needing a place to stay. Kurama's mother looked uneasy at first, but she soon accepted the excuse and offered to make Hiei a bed on the downstairs couch, an offer that Hiei declined as nicely as he could.
As soon as Kurama made himself comfortable on the bed, Hiei sat back down on Kurama's lap. "What do you think your mother would say if she really knew what we were really doing?" asked Hiei, looking up at his lover.
Kurama only gave a small shrug as he looked up at the ceiling, "who knows, i've never really heard okkasan say anything about the subject."
For the next few moments Hiei and Kurama continued to hold on to each other, until Kurama finally had an idea.
"Hey Hiei, why don't we play a game?"
Alright, that's the end of Chapter 2, I really hope everyone likes it. This is acuatlly going to be longer then I planned for it to be. At first it was only going to be 1-2 chapters, but I've decided to change the ending and extect it to around 4-5 chapters, so I hope everyone likes the new ending.
Preview of Chapter 3: A game, a bet, and a winner, but will there be a loser? Stay tuned for Chapter 3!
