Chapter Six

Zeichi slipped his hand in Hiei's as the group entered the movie theater. The smaller fire demon was almost giving himself whiplash, looking around at everyone and everything. The crowds were starting to make him nervous, and he pressed closer to Hiei.

Yusuke was grumbling as he headed towards the concession stand after being directed by Keiko to get everyone's snacks and drinks, but Kuwabara was only too happy to go with him at Yukina's request. Zeichi dragged Hiei after them, not knowing what was available (and not knowing what half of the stuff was).

"Yaaaahhhhh!" Zeichi had been watching a huge, strange object with interest that a man was putting a lot of strange roundish yellow things in. All of a sudden the things had exploded with a horrible popping sound, and the boy clung to Hiei in fear, face buried against his older brother's front as he shuddered. Kuwabara and Yusuke burst into laughter, until the girls frowned reprovingly at them.

Hiei fought back a blush and hesitantly put his arms around Zeichi comfortingly. Zeichi calmed down somewhat when he felt his brother's arms wrap around him, he had found this to be the safest spot within these past few days and he loved the fact that Hiei was always glad to offer it to him...Well most of the time at least. Sighing contently he nuzzled further into Hiei's chest wrapping his arms loosely around the older demons waist, easily forgetting that they weren't at the fox's house safe from prying eyes. Hiei just stared down at Zeichi barely able to keep the bright blush on his face to a minimal pinkish tinge.

Crowded as it was, several people doubtlessly saw them. Those with the more innocent minds smiled and thought, how sweet. Others were thinking that they were awfully close for brothers (which it was obvious they were, of course, by their looks). Hiei didn't care.

Yusuke was starting to stare a little. Yeaaah...something is definitely goin' on here...

Zeichi breathed in taking in Hiei's scent one last time before looking up at the older demon, only to stare into Hiei's darker crimson orbs. Zeichi smiled at Hiei, his eyes saying 'thank you' something that Hiei wasn't accustomed to saying, but the older demon just smiled at Zeichi and nodded.

"Anytime..." He whispered quietly making sure that Yusuke and Kuwabara couldn't hear what he was saying.

Moments later the demon looked towards the human, his gaze locking with that of Yusuke's as his eyes narrowed dangerously. "Why are you staring, Detective?"

Yusuke, who would normally laugh it off and insist he wasn't, or get angry at the accusation, just narrowed his eyes slightly in return and didn't answer. He turned and walked to Keiko's side. "C'mon everybody, we gotta find some good seats before the movie starts."

Hiei glared at Yusuke's back, but didn't press the matter. He even smiled (though very, very faintly; only Kurama noticed) when Zeichi took his hand and pulled him after the others.

Everyone found their seats...eventually. Kuwabara wanted a seat near the middle, but Hiei stated in a calm, dangerous tone that they would sit in the back row; he wasn't about to sit somewhere that someone could come up from behind. Keiko provided the pre-movie entertainment by slapping Yusuke when he made a comment about a rather scantily clad woman sitting a few rows away.

Somehow, Hiei wasn't exactly sure how or even when, Zeichi ended up sitting in his lap during the horror movie, face buried against him and arms wrapped around him tighter than they were after the popcorn machine. Hiei didn't hesitate to hold him this time, or to murmur comforts in his ear occasionally.

"Aww...isn't that so sweet that Hiei cares about his brother enough to let down his tough guy mask?" murmured Keiko to Yusuke quietly.

"Huh? Oh, yeah...sweet," he replied absently.

Kurama, seeing Yusuke's suspicious glance from down the row, leaned over to murmur to Hiei. "I believe Yusuke suspects something..."

Hiei looked up at Kurama, running his fingers through Zeichi's hair to continue comforting him, "I already know that Fox..." Hiei stated in a low growl.

Hiei's attention was suddenly brought back to Zeichi when the younger boy screamed rather loudly, causing the orange haired teen that was a seat away from them to jump and stare at them. Hiei sighed, wrapping his arms tighter around Zeichi and bringing his head down to whisper comforting words into the youngers ear. After a while though it appeared that the younger of the two fire demons wasn't going to calm down that easily, so after making sure that no one was watching them anymore, Hiei quickly pressed his lips against Zeichi's in a chaste kiss, smiling at the boy when he suddenly stared up at him tears of fright in the corner of his eyes.

"Do you want to go outside until the movie is over?" Hiei whispered. Zeichi nodded quickly. Hiei told Kurama telepathically where they were going, and the fox nodded in acknowledgment.

Once outside the theater, Hiei sat on a low stone wall that bordered an ornamental garden. Zeichi sat next to him and leaned his head on Hiei's shoulder. "Hiei?" he mumbled.

"What?"

"Why do you keep kissing me?"

Hiei's breath stopped, and he almost felt cold. Sure, Zeichi had said that he didn't want Hiei to leave him again, but...What if he thought the first time was just a fluke, but now he's starting to think it's too strange? What if he starts to hate me?

"Hiei? You're not...answering me…" The older of the brothers remained silent, not knowing what to say and in a constant state of worry. "Hiei? Why won't you answer me?"

Hiei stiffened, slightly his eyes staring off into the distance until a small clicking sound reached his ears, turning to face the younger boy Hiei was shocked to see tears falling from his cheeks and turning into tear gems before hitting the stone beneath them.

"Zeichi...I..." Hiei fumbled, attempting to find the right thing to say, but not finding it. "Zeich-" His eyes widened to the size of saucers when the younger boy flung himself into his arms, lips pressed firmly against Hiei's, tears still falling from his cheeks.

"Please tell me you kiss me for a reason Hiei..." Zeichi said quietly dropping his head to stare at the ground.

Hiei smiled slightly, cupping Zeichi's cheek in his hand and turning the boy to face him, "I do have a reason, Zeichi..." Hiei began, leaning in towards the boy, so that his lips brushed up against Zeichi's as he spoke, "I kiss you because to me, you are more than just a brother..." after those words had been said he closed the gap between them pulling Zeichi into a loving kiss.

"Huh. And here I was thinking that you were so protective because he's the only family you have aside from Yukina."

Dammit... Hiei had completely forgotten that Shizuru was supposed to pick up everyone but him, Kurama, and Zeichi. The fire demons jerked apart, Zeichi staring at Shizuru with slight fear and Hiei giving her a death glare.

The woman was leaning against her Tahoe, cigarette in hand as usual. "This is certainly unexpected."

"What is, sis?"

Shizuru glanced at her brother, who had just come out with the others; the movie was over. "Hm?... nothing, Kazuma. You guys ready to go?"

When the others had left, Hiei, Zeichi, and Kurama started walking back to Kurama's house.

-----

The next morning, Kurama looked Zeichi over thoughtfully. "Hm...I do believe we need to go shopping."

"What for, fox?" asked Hiei.

"It's not exactly easy on the water bill to keep washing the same outfit over and over again," pointed out Kurama. "And even your clothes are too big for him. He needs new ones."

Hiei blinked and looked at his brother. "What's wrong with the ones he's wearing now?"

"They're still bloodstained, for one thing. Really we should have gone shopping before we went to the movies yesterday, but fortunately humans don't pay much attention."

"Kurama, I don't think anything's wrong with the bloodstains," said Zeichi softly. "Or I could even wear Hiei's clothes, if I had a belt..."

"No. You'll be much more comfortable in clothes your own size," said Kurama firmly. "It's easier to move around. We're going shopping."

Both Hiei and Zeichi sighed.

-----

Kurama had a good eye, and was quick to pick out clothes that usually fit the first time Zeichi tried them on, which cut down on a lot of time that otherwise would have been wasted by clothes that didn't fit.

They had barely started when they heard a voice calling their names. Zeichi hid behind Hiei (who growled in annoyance under his breath when he recognized the voice), seeing Yusuke coming up grumbling behind Keiko, who had called out and was waving to them.

"Hello Kurama!" greeted the girl cheerfully when she walked up to them, Yusuke scowling. "What are you doing here?"

"Zeichi needed new clothes...And you?" His smile was somewhat forced; irritation was practically radiating from Hiei, and Kurama hoped the fire demon wouldn't cause a scene.

"Same reason, actually. Yusuke tears up so many clothes fighting," she smiled.

Kurama held his smile, even though the fire demon behind him was muttering something in makai about how he was going to rip the girls tongue out if she said anything else. He laughed, "Well then, we'll let you get back to your shopping..." The fox stated before starting to walk past them.

"Why don't you come with us? I mean we're both shopping for clothes right?" Keiko questioned him.

Kurama sighed, knowing that if he didn't accept the invitation Keiko would come up with some reason why he had to "Sure why not..."

You must really want to die, snarled Hiei into his head.

It won't be that bad, sighed Kurama, knowing Hiei would be reading his thoughts for an answer. Hiei just growled at him...

...And was still growling when they finally left the store. The poor fire demon's nerves were frazzled to no end; apparently, Keiko liked to talk constantly while shopping, and Yusuke seemed to deliberately pick arguments with her on top of that.

Zeichi shared a slightly mischievous smile with Kurama as Hiei led the way out of the store grumpily. Hiei had paid practically no attention whatsoever to what his brother was choosing for his new outfits, and Zeichi was already scheming to surprise the elder demon when they got home.

-----

Once they had reached the house, Kurama had left telling them that he needed to go to the store to pick up some groceries. Sighing somewhat as he flopped down on the fox's bed Hiei began to massage his temples, attempting to forget about the annoying girl he had been forced to spend most his day with.

"Hiei..." Zeichi began, the younger's voice bringing a smile to his face, "What do you think?"

Hiei opened his eyes and looked at the boy, reeling back in shock and what he saw, a burning sensation arising in his cheeks as his mind started to wander off into inappropriate thoughts. The smaller boy was wearing a black mesh top that molded to his lean figure ending a bit short of the black jeans that clung to his hips, easily exposing a line of pale flesh. The fire demon licked his lips his eyes continuing down his form his eyes watching as Zeichi swayed his hips, causing chains on his pants to come together, creating a soft metallic cling.

Zeichi smirked at his brother expression, happy that he could get the older demon to stare in complete shock. Walking over to Hiei, he couldn't help but notice as the older male licked his lips, his eyes focused on his swaying hips as he inched closer his buckled boots thudding quietly on the floor as he continued.

Zeichi smirked again as he slowly crawled across the bed, his almost knee high boots coming to rest on either side of Hiei's hips as he straddled the older demon, waiting for a reply.

Hiei took a moment to try and catch his breath. "So that's what you chose, huh?" he croaked out.

"Mmm-hmm." The affirmation was slightly drawn out, and Hiei shivered lightly as the boy ran a finger gently down Hiei's throat and to his collarbone. Zeichi pressed his lips to Hiei's. "You like it?" he murmured.

"Hn..."

Translation: Hell yeah. Hiei returned Zeichi's second kiss immediately, wrapping his arms around the slender waist.

Zeichi smiled when he felt his brothers arms wrap around his waist, bringing with them a sense of security and belonging. He giggled slightly when he felt Hiei's tongue brush up against his lips seeking access into his mouth, the younger of the two brothers letting it slip past his lips as he began to massage it with his own, the two brothers eventually parting for air.

Zeichi stared down into Hiei's crimson eyes, their shade slightly darker than his own, he watched as the demon slowly lifted his head, beginning to place light kisses along the boys neck until finally returning to his lips and greeting him with another heated kiss.

"Hiei!" the boy gasped, as he felt the older demons hand begin to wander to a sensitive spot between his legs.

"...Okay, you're certainly better enough to be moved to the guest room now." Hiei and Zeichi gasped and broke apart, looking over at the slightly bemused Kurama standing in the doorway. "Your wound is almost better anyway. It's really none of my business what the two of you do," continued the fox, "but...not in my room, please."

Zeichi reddened and started trying to stammer out an explanation or an excuse, while Hiei started yelling into Kurama's head. Dammit fox, you're the one who always puts such a big deal on politeness, did it ever occur to you to knock!

The fox just laughed ignoring the question as he smiled down at the blushing and stammering Zeichi. "There's no need to explain...Just don't do it in my room..." Kurama laughed as the smaller demon turned a slightly brighter shade of red, "Well I came to tell you two that dinner is ready..." The fox stated before turning and leaving the room

Zeichi sighed with relief when Kurama left the room. Hiei chuckled lightly and pulled him into a gentle hug. "I suppose we should get in there before Kurama comes back to check up on us," he murmured. Zeichi smiled in response and kissed Hiei on the cheek, causing the older brother to blush faintly.
