Chapter 2: In the Heat of the Night

(A/N: This chapter is the lemon. Please be nice because it's my first lemon, and it probably sucked. But give me pointers on how to improve in.)

"Kurama!"

He got no response.

"Kurama! Wait!"

The kitsune jumped form tree to tree faster, trying to get away.

"Kurama, stop!"

"No."

"Kurama—look out!"

It was too late. In the second Kurama turned his head, he collided with a low hanging branch and was knocked out of the tree.

It had happened so fast, not even with Hiei's speed could he have prevented the kitsune from hitting the ground. Thirty feet was a long way down.

The fox had tried to stop himself from falling, but grabbed with his injured arm and heard a sickening crack before everything went black.

Hiei quickly ran over to the fallen demon, kneeling beside him. He looked over the unconscious fox's body and saw deep red blood near his arm, and a horrible gash on his forehead.

The branch must've been pretty big, and Kurama had been going at a great speed.

"Kurama?" he said tentatively.

The fox lay motionless. He felt his ribs. Some felt broken. What the hell? What kind of branch was that?

He looked up at the tree Kurama had fallen from, but he didn't see the branch. He looked around suspiciously. He didn't know of any enemies Kurama had.

He felt the fox demon's forehead.

'What the…?'

He was burning up, and starting to shake.

Okay. Obviously Kurama had at least one enemy. How could he get a fever from colliding with a branch?

He sniffed the unconscious demon. He smelled poison.

All of a sudden, his body started to shake violently. Hiei was alarmed.

"Kurama? What's wrong?"

Then as suddenly as it had happened, it stopped.

He felt Kurama's forehead again. It was still hot, too hot in fact. He felt the rest of his body. It was cold; ice cold.

"Kurama?" he said in alarm.

No response.

His body was too cold. Was it a cold fever or regular fever? Or both?

He laid his hands on Kurama's chest. He couldn't feel the rise and fall of his chest. He leaned his ear next to his friend's mouth.

He couldn't feel his breath.

The atmosphere became cold, and it started to snow. Okay! Now he knew someone was definitely screwing with him. It did not snow in the middle of July. That was just an aberration.

"Come on, Kurama. Wake up."

He touched the redhead's cheek. He almost burned his fingers. His whole face was burning up, but his body was ice cold. In the last two minutes, the ground had already been covered with five inches of snow.

Someone really wanted Kurama dead.

Scooping the kitsune gently into his arms, he jumped form tree to tree, heading for Kurama's house. It was only a few blocks away.

He was surprised by how light the fox was. Hiei only weighed 85 pounds. And he was much smaller than Kurama. Kurama had to weigh much more than that.

So how could he carry him so easily?

A strong gust of wind came and caused Hiei to lose his balance.

His demon instincts made him drop Kurama, while he clung to the safety of the tree.

Kurama fell into the icy river that was not yet frozen.

"Kurama!" Hiei cried.

Not even contemplating how cold the river was, not realizing being a demon didn't mean temperature didn't affect him, he dived into the river without a second thought.

He swam as fast as he could, small muscular arms cutting through the choppy water. He kept his head above water, trying to keep the fox in his sight; but he could no longer see him.

Then he spotted the redhead further downstream. His body had gotten caught in some vines at the edge of the river.

He dove under. When he reached him, he attempted to tug his friend's body free of the vines. Unknowingly, he tugged on the fox's injured arm.

As he was pulled free, his eyes fluttered open and a weak pained sound came from him before he lost consciousness again. The fire demon's blood red eyes snapped to the kitsune's mouth.

"Kurama?"

He struggled to sit up, but Hiei pushed him back down. He had pulled both of them up on shore. "You need rest."

"Hiei… w-what happened?"

"You were injured. Since we're too far from your house, I'm taking you to mine."

He tried to open his eyes, but they felt like they were frozen shut.

"I-I'm… why is it so cold?"

"Do you have nay enemies?"

"Not that I know of."

"Well, obviously you have one now because they're the reason it's snowing in July."

"I-I…" he desperately fought to stay conscious. "I'm still mad at you."

Hiei shook his head.

"That's all you can say?"

"I'm still mad because you never apologized to me."

"Fine. I'll apologize now."

He took Kurama's injured arm, accidentally pulling too hard. The fox's eyes filled with tears, opening wide.

"Kurama, did I hurt you? Where does it hurt?"

"M-my… my arm."

Then Hiei realized that was the arm he'd pulled him out with.

"I'm sorry, Kurama."

He didn't get a response.

"Kurama?"

"S-sorry. It's hard to stay awake. I-I'm s-so…cold."

Hiei smacked his forehead. Hello! He was a fire demon.

He created a small fire in his palm and held it near Kurama.

"Is that better?"

But the kitsune had already fallen over unconscious.

"Kurama? Kurama!"

He picked him up again, hurrying to his house.

"Are you feeling any better?"

Kurama nodded.

"Yes, much better. Thank you."

He held a cup of hot tea in his hands. He was much warmer thanks to Hiei.

"I'm—

"Please don't say you're sorry again. You've been apologizing to me for the past four hours."

He grinned. "Five if you count the hour you were unconscious and when I undressed you."

Hiei hadn't realized how embarrassing his comment was.

Kurama blushed hotly, suddenly very aware of his nakedness. He pulled the blanket up around himself. They were in Hiei's living room.

Hiei saw the small movement. So his fox was embarrassed, was he? He chuckled mentally.

The blush that tinted his rosy cheeks made him look so pure and innocent. He decided to mess with him.

"Kurama, I think it's time to clean your bandages. They're probably soaked through again. And you also need a bath. I'll help you with that."

Kurama stuttered. "I-I can take a bath by m-myself."

Hiei waved it way.

"No you can't. You can barely stand. You injured your leg as well as your arm. You'd most likely slip and fall."

Before he could utter another protest, he was swiftly picked up into Hiei's arms and carried ot the bath. It was already filled with hot water. He set him down.

"Well?"

He waited expectantly for Kurama to drop the blanket.

'Calm down, Kurama. He doesn't love you. He made that perfectly clear. Just drop it and go in!"

His body ignored his brain's command.

"Baby," Hiei snapped. The blanket was ripped form Kurama's hands, revealing every silky pale inch of the fox's alluring body.

He blushed a darker red as he saw how hungrily the fire demon gazed at him. He carefully stepped into the bath and sat down, leaning back, allowing the hot water to soothe his sore muscles. He moaned in pleasure.

The sound of Kurama moaning, naked, in a bathtub almost caused Hiei to lose control. He bit his lip. It was all he could do not to jump in the bath with the fox and claim him as his own.

Kurama could smell the scent of Hiei's lust, blazing crimson eyes studying him intently. He opened his yes to look up at him.

He stood up, removing the bloody bandages slowly, soft hands moving across silky pale skin. Kurama stopped when he noticed Hiei's current problem. He sunk back down into the warm water, gesturing to the washcloth hanging on a towel rack.

"Well, start helping. My limbs aren't going to wash themselves."

The fire demon stared him down defiantly. He refused to be the first on to crack.

He grabbed the washcloth, rubbed some soap into it, and roughly started to scrub the fox's body. Ignoring the little sparks of electricity he felt when his naked finger touched hot slippery skin, he washed and scrubbed.

When he reached Kurama's thighs, he swallowed thickly. This might be a little more difficult.

He scrubbed along his inner and outer thighs, ignoring the now painfully hard erection he was getting. The material of his pants was light, and every time he pushed forward, his groin made contact with the cold linoleum of the tub, and made him even more sensitive.

The kitsune realized the poor demon's predicament and wanted to help. When Hiei started on Kurama's feet, the fox lunged forward and dragged the smaller demon into the bath with him.

Hiei's eyes snapped with anger, but his body responded immediately. He bucked against the redhead, now feeling the other's hardness. Purring seductively in the fire demon's ear, he whispered in a sexy, husky tone, "I think we should move this to the bedroom. Don't you agree?"

His eyes glazed over with lust and passion as he scooped the kitsune in his arms and carried him to his bedroom.

He slid the light black material past his hips, revealing milky white thighs and a very hard erection. Kurama removed his own pants, leaving only his black silk boxers to cover him. Those were quickly tossed carelessly to the floor as Hiei admiringly licked and sucked every heated inch of the fox's body, purposely avoiding where Kurama wanted his touch the most.

When his mouth finally reached his cock, and engulfed it completely, the fox purred, threading his long fingers through soft black strands. While Hiei sucked, Kurama gently massaged his scalp, kneading and soothing.

"Nnnn… Kurama."

Hiei wanted to torture Kurama, so he licked him where he was most sensitive: the juncture of his thighs, and Kurama bucked against his tongue, squirming and mewling.

He traced his tongue along the fox's body achingly slow. He lovingly adored every part of his lover's body. He worshipped him with his tongue and hands. He'd never made love with anyone like this; male of female, it was always just mating.

It was quick and rough, no intimacy or caring touches; always agitated, lustful groping. This time, he wanted to take it slow. He didn't want to admit it, but he loved Kurama. He loved everything about him. He loved his gracefulness, he loved his beauty. His dark fiery hair, his gentle but defiant emerald green eyes. He adored his kindness, his subtle strength and silent but deadly power.

He admired his intelligence, his unending knowledge; his untainted purity and innocence; there was nothing that marred his natural beauty.

He reverently kissed each brow. He brushed his lips against the fox's eyes, ears, nose, cheeks and mouth, feather light touches too soft to be called kisses.

Tilting Kurama's head back, he deepened the kiss, gently sliding his tongue along the inside of the hot slick cavern of his lover's mouth. He pulled away, looking into sparkling emeralds. He placed two fingers into Kurama's mouth. When they were coated with saliva, he inserted them into his entrance.

The fox hissed in pain. Hiei whispered soothing words to the struggling demon, exerting more pressure as he added another digit, stretching and widening Kurama. He moved them in and out slowly in a rhythmic motion.

Soon, the pain subsided and Kurama began bucking up towards his fingers. Hiei retracted his gingers, earning him a disappointed growl from his lover. He turned him onto his abck, positioning himself above Kurama.

"Are you sure?"

Kurama nodded readily. He gave one good hard thrust. The fox demon cried out in pain and immense pleasure.

"I'll go slow," Hiei whispered, rather with difficulty.

Heat from Kurama's tight hole was driving him crazy. He inhaled and thrusted again, tentatively finding a steady rhythm. Gradually, Kurama adjusted to the feeling of Hiei inside him.

Soon, they were moving in unison, Hiei thrusting, Kurama moving up to meet him. Hiei moved his hands from the kitsune's hips and started playing with his nipples.

Kurama's breath hitched, a half strangled groan stopped in his throat. Hiei rolled them between his finger tips. He licked and nipped at one hardened rose bud, using his hand to caress the other, alternating back and forth for a while. Kurama moaned loudly, clawing at the smaller demon's back, gripping the sheets, searching for something to hold onto.

When Kurama had fully adjusted, Hiei moved faster, pumping harder each time inside of him. He clutched at Hiei's back, bolding on as he pounded into him.

"Unnngh… H-Hiei."

The fire demon wrapped deft fingers around Kurama's erection. He gasped, green eye widening. He stroked around the base, pumping him, moving up and down. Leaning over, he licked at the slit of the redhead's cock. He hissed, moaning, flicking his hips upward. Then Kurama felt Hiei engulf his whole cock in his mouth and his eyes rolled back into his head. He sucked hard, swirling his tongue around the base and tip, licking and biting; teasing his lover to the breaking point.

Kurama bucked up wildly, moaning Hiei's name. He gave one last hard thrust and he and Kurama came at the same time.

"Hiei--!"

"Kurama--!"

Many minutes passed before Hiei finally rolled off of Kurama. He lay besode him, stroking his smooth alabaster skin. "You ok?"

The fox demon grinned sleepily at him.

"Yep. That was the best sex I've had in my life."

Hiei raised an eyebrow at him, chuckling.

"Kurama, that was the only sex you've had in your life."

He giggled; not a girlish giggle, a deep, melodic sound.

"Well, it was still the best," he said, snuggling up to the smaller man, sighing contently.

A comfortable silence settled over the new lovers. The silvery moon rose high in the deep blue midnight sky. A deep soundless quiet surrounded the forest. A tranquility and serenity came over Hiei that he hadn't felt in a long time.

He nudged Kurama gently, noticing his breathing had become very deep and slow.

"Kurama?"

He saw that the fox had fallen asleep, his bare chest rising and falling. He smiled.

Tugging the sheets form underneath the redhead, he covered both he and Kurama with them, wrapping his arms protectively around the other demon.

He waited for a long time before he fell asleep. He wanted to gaze at his lover a while longer. He truly was beautiful. The light from the moon bathed his pale face in an ethereal glow. His red hair hung in his face, covering one side of it, and his amazing green eyes.

He brushed a few strands away, admiring his beauty.

"Goodnight, my beautiful fox," he whispered.

He kissed the top of his forehead, leaning over to turn off the beside lamp and got underneath the covers, finally completely at peace.
