Chapter 8
As the moon finally came into full view for the night, Kurama and Hiei layed in Kurama's bed next to each other, because that now that their love had been made clear to everyone, including Kurama's mother, they didn't have to be afraid of what anyone thought. But as the night lingered on, Hiei turned around to find his koibito's eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling.
"Now what wrong" asked Hiei, placing his arm on Kurama's chest.
Kurama didn't say anything, he just shrugged his shoulders a little and gave a small grunt.
"We've only been together for a little bit and I'm already starting to rub off on you" remarked Hiei. Kurama gave off a little smile before turning to embrace his lover.
"It's Kuwabara" started Kurama.
"That baka, why worry about him. So he doesn't like us being together, when has he ever been right about anything?" snapped Hiei. Kurama loosened his grip on Hiei and began to turn around.
"What I meant to say was...arrggg...if his opinion means that much to you, then maybe you should talk to him tomorrow and find out exactly why he doesn't approve of us being together."
Kurama didn't move for a moment, but soon he turned again and reembraced Hiei. "You know, I always knew you had a brain hidden behind all that brute force" smirked Kurama. Hiei opened his mouth to say something, but before he could Kurama's lips firmly planted themselves on them, and as the night moved forward, little could be heard from the room except for the occasional gasp for breath or rustle of the sheets.
Since the next day was Saturday, Kurama called over to the Kuwabara residence before noon and asked his friend to join him for lunch at a nearby cafe. At first Kuwabara seemed reluctant, but after Kurama promised that he was paying, Kuwabara quickly promised to meet him there at noon.
At exactly noon, the two met at a small cafe a few blocks from Kurama's house. As the two ordered there food a silence came over their table, and not just the normal comfortable silence the two usually had, this was a silence that held an uncomfortable undertone.
"So Kurama, why did you ask me to come here?" the orange-haired boy asked as the food was finally delivered.
"Well, it's about me and Hiei" began Kurama, "at dinner the other night, you seemed rather against the idea of us being together."
"Of course I did!" said Kuwabara, raising his voice somewhat, "it's not natural for two guys to like each other like that!"
"But...why is it so wrong?" asked Kurama.
"Well...it's wrong because...it's wrong in that...because that's what my parents told me!" replied Kuwabara.
"They said it was wrong for two men to fall in love?"
"Of course."
"Well, what about two demons?" asked Kurama. In all honesty, he didn't really want to try this tactic, but it seemed that Kuwabara was too thick-headed for anything else to work.
"Well of course they didn't say anything about two male demons to fall in love." said Kuwabara, almost standing up and causing a scene.
"Well, in Demon World, it's fairly common for two males demons to fall in love" said Kurama, when truthfully, that was almost as rare, and as looked down upon, as it was in the Ningen World.
"It is?" asked a confused Kuwabara. Kurama merely nodded his head in agreement. For a moment, neither teen said anything, until Kuwabara broke the silence.
"So your saying, that in Demon World, it's okay to fall in love with a man?" Kuwabara re-asked, still not sure that what he heard was true.
"Yes, many species of demons do not need someone of a gender to create offspring with, so when two people of the same gender fall in love, it's not seen as so abnormal as it is here." replied Kurama, trying to make up things on the spot.
"Oh, well then...I guess since it's accepted in Demon World...and you both are at least partly demons, then I guess that's okay." said Kuwabara, standing up and pushing in his seat, "hey, I gotta get home and start cleaning up the house, I'll talk to you later."
Kurama nodded as he stood up, "hey Kuwabara, thank you for understanding."
Kuwabara nodded his head and flashing a thumbs-up before turning around and walking away.
The Next Day
As the sakura blossoms continued to fall around them, the red and black haired demons walked through the park, hand-in-hand.
"So, how did you get that baka ningen to understand us?" asked Hiei, looking up at his koibito. Kurama merely small a small smirk and raised a finger to his lips, as if to say "It's a secret."
"Just think Hiei, if we hadn't have made that bet and if you wouldn't have won that game, then none of this might not have happened" Kurama finally said, wrapping his arm around Hiei's neck. Hiei looked down at the ground for a second before looking up at his lover...

Flashback
As Kurama finished shuffling the cards for their final game and placing them in front of the two, Hiei pointed over to the pile of chocolates behind Kurama.
"Do you want them now?" asked Kurama. Hiei simply nodded his head in approval, and as Kurama turned his head to reach for the candies, Hiei used his incredible speed to reach into his sleeve and pull out the cards he had been holding back for the last half of the game that he had been saving for jus this round and placed them on top of the deck before Kurama turned back around.

"Yeah, it is weird isn't it" replied Hiei as he shifted his weight some and began leaning on his lover.

Haru: That's it, that's the end of this arc! Just to clear a fews things up. After having a few friends read this chapter I was told that making Kurama lie to Kuwabara was taking the easy road, but I think that Kuwabara is the kind of character that will keep the things that his parents taught him so close to heart, that unless you stretch things a bit, then you'll never change his mind at all. Another thing is that I don't believe that men and women come into relationships merely for creating offspring. Alright, now that that's out of the way, it's time to start work on the second arc! If anyone has anything they'd like to see in future works then feel free to leave a message in the reviews area.
Hari: And even if you don't. then still please remember to review this work and look at the other fanfictions I am working on.
Haru: So until next time!
