'Thoughts'

oooooAt the Club

As soon as they got to the club Keiko and Yusuke took off so they could have some alone time, while Jess just sat at a table with Hiei and Kurama.

An hour passed and Jess was getting really bored just watching girls come up and ask the two men beside her to dance. It was always the same routine. Girl walks up, girl asks them to dance, girl gets told no. 'Well sometimes it wasn't quite that nice.' She thought, remembering one girl who was hanging all over Hiei. He had growled at her to get the fuck away from him or he'd make sure she could never dance again.

After telling the tenth girl no, Kurama stood and turned to Jess. "May I have this dance?" He asked while offering her his hand.

Hearing the question brought Jess out of her musings, and she looked up at Kurama. Glancing to the dance floor, back to Kurama and then down to her lap, she sighed. "Um well… you see… I don't exactly know how to do this kind of dancing, 'and I'm not sure I want to'." She added under her breath when she saw the couples grinding up against each other. Shuddering she glanced back up to his face.

If they hadn't been demons they never would have heard her muttered comment, but there was no way they could have missed her shudder. So deciding that maybe getting out of there would be a better option, Kurama told Hiei of his plan mentally before grinning at Jess.

"How about we go for a walk instead?" Kurama asked Jess sweetly. "I believe I saw a park a block away from here."

Seeing the happiness shine in her eyes, the two demons smiled. Maybe if the walk went well, they would be able to tell her that they were demons at the park.

Deciding to save some time, Hiei mentally told the detective that they were taking Jess for a walk to the park. When Yusuke started giving him advice on how to go about courting her, Hiei abruptly closed the link and focused back on the two in-front of him.

"That would be great." Jess said smiling. "I just have to find Keiko to let her know I'm leaving for a bit." Getting up to find her cousin, she was stopped by a hand on her arm and she tensed.

Seeing her tense, Kurama released her arm and backed up a couple of feet. "Don't worry, Hiei already told them menta-I mean called them." When Jess smiled and nodded her head, he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Seeing Hiei's glare he mentally apologized. He had not meant to say that, but at least Jess hadn't said anything about it.

"Let's go." Hiei said getting up from his seat. He wanted to get her to a private location and tell her as soon as possible.

"Ok. Lead the way." Jess said as she followed the two men out of the club, thrilled that she wouldn't have to be surrounded by all those people anymore.

The walk to the park was silent on account of the fact that Jess looked so peaceful that the two demons decided to just keep quiet.

Once there, they found a bench and they all sat down with Jess in the middle. The bench was long enough to have about a foot of space between each person and the guys felt it would be best if they stayed out of her personal space. For the time being anyway.

Jess tipped her head back after sitting and looked up at the full moon. This movement caused her hair to slide back away from her face and shoulders, and made her neck visible to the two sitting beside her.

Seeing her neck bared to them, Hiei and Kurama's eyes started to bleed red as their inner demons fought to break free and place their marks on her silky smooth skin. Growling they both fought their beasts down and knew that if they didn't tell her now they would end up forcing her, and neither of them wanted to do that to her.

Hearing the two men beside her growl Jess lifted her head up and looked at them. Cocking her head, she looked questioningly at Kurama. "Since when do you growl?" She asked with a confused expression on her face. "I thought only the puppy here did." She said, pointing at Hiei.

Deciding it was now or never, Kurama sighed and nodded to Hiei. Looking back at Jess he took her hand in his and was pleased when, although she tensed, she didn't pull her hand away. "Jess we need to tell you something."

Looking bewildered, she nodded. "Sure you can tell me anything you want."

"Well…..." He started. He was nervous and was postponing it for as long as he possibly could.

"We're demons." Hiei finished bluntly.

Glaring at Hiei for being so direct, Kurama turned back to Jess and awaited her outburst. He was surprised by what she did.

"Really?!" Jess asked excitedly. Then she stopped smiling and glared at them. "Wait, did Keiko put you up to this?" She demanded.

Both demons were shocked, first she sounded thrilled and now she asks if her cousin told them to tell her that.

"Of course not woman, why would I lie?" Hiei said annoyed.

Turning to face Hiei she growled, at least as well as a human can. "How would I know, I only met you yesterday. It's not like I can read your mind."

Hearing her attempt at a growl made both demons arousal grow even more. She was torturing them and she didn't even realize it.

Hiei just smirked when he heard her last comment. "You may not be able to, but I can."

Jess just looked at him. "You can what?" She asked.

"I can read minds." He said still smirking.

She looked at him for a few seconds and then laughed. "Yeah right, prove it." She challenged. "I'm thinking of a number and a color what are they?" '13 and Silver'

"13 and Silver." Hiei said cockily.

Jess eyes widened and her mouth fell open. "Then you really are demons?" She asked shocked.

They both just nodded their heads and waited for the information to finish sinking in.

"That's so cool!!" She said clapping her hands together. "What kind? Do you have a true form? Is what I've read true? Can yo-."

Covering her mouth, Kurama stopped her questions. "Are you going to let us answer?" He asked still covering her mouth. When she nodded, he released her mouth and started explaining. "Hiei is a fire apparition and I am a human with a fox demons soul."

"I read about that once." Jess said interrupting Kurama. "It happens when a dying demon takes refuge in a fetus. The child is born with a human soul along with that of the demons."

"Correct." Kurama said. "Now…" He said looking at Jess as she grinned sheepishly. "To answer your other questions, yes we each have a true form that we may take, and most of the information you read about our kind is true. Well at least all the stuff that was written over one hundred years ago."

Jess looked at them both in awe. And then because she just had to know she asked. "Can I see your true forms?"

Knowing that if she decided to mate with them she would see them anyway, they both nodded.

Hiei was very nervous, he was sure she'd love Youko's form, but his wasn't as nice. He was almost certain that she would freak out and never want to see him again. That made his heart ache and he sighed. 'I have to, I don't have a choice. And if she runs then so be it.' Truth be told though, he wanted nothing more than for her to accept his true form with open arms. 'Yeah right, that'll never happen.'

Kurama, knowing that he'd have to go first stood up and faced Jess. And with one last warning to his counterpart about not being perverted, he let Youko take control.

Jess watched fascinated as Kurama's red hair turned silver and his clothes changed to a white older style fighting outfit. Seeing something twitch behind him, she leaned over and peered around his back. "Oh my god how cute, a tail!!" She squealed as she jumped up and started petting it. She was so focused on what she was doing that when he started purring she became startled, dropping his tail and apologizing. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to touch you like that." She said with her head bowed.

"I don't mind at all." A deep sexy voice said. "In fact I'd really like you to continue." He said seductively.

Fighting down a blush, she looked back at his face and noticed that he had two fuzzy, cat like ears on top of his head.

Seeing her eyes on his ears, Youko smirked. "It's nice to finally meet you Jess." He purred out. "It has been hell sitting in Kurama's head watching you and not being able to feel you." With that, he grabbed her hand and placed a kiss on her knuckles. "My name is Youko, and I am the demon soul that's housed within Kurama." When he saw her blush deepen, he started getting closer to her until he heard Hiei growl.

-Back off Fox.- He snarled.

/What's the matter puppy someone else have your toy?/ Youko asked smirking.

&Youko behave.&

/But why?/ Youko pouted. /She seems to like the attention./

Before either of them could answer, they heard Jess speak.

Hearing Hiei's growl Jess backed away from Youko and turned towards him. "So what do you look like Hiei?"

Hiei just looked away and sighed. "I don't think you'll like what you see."

Hearing the pain in his voice Jess walked over and took his hand in both of hers. "Just try me." She said with a smirk.

After seeing her smirk, Hiei nodded. He reached up and took the white bandana off his forehead and let his Jagan eye open up. Since she didn't run from that, he got more daring and let his demon side out. His body turned green and eyes began opening up all over, and two horns grew from his head. When he was finished he looked back at Jess and waited for her to speak.

When he took off his bandana she didn't know what to think, but then an eye opened up. 'WOW, a third eye, that's so cool!!' Shortly after that his body became a green color and eyes started to open up everywhere. Two horns came out of the top of his head and his ears became slightly pointed, and she saw what appeared to be fangs peeking out of the corner of his mouth.

When she saw Hiei looking at her expectantly she smiled and walked around him. "That's so cool!! You can see everything at once, which beats having two eyes any day of the week. Plus you said that you could read minds." Laughing she danced around in circles. "You guys are so awesome."

Thrilled that their intended was not disgusted by them they smiled at her and they each came back to their human forms. Youko was not happy, but Kurama managed to bribe him back by saying he could have some alone time with her later. Much later.

Now all they had to do was tell her they were courting her.

Suddenly she stopped and faced them. "Wait. Do Keiko and Yusuke know that your demons?" She asked.

"Of course they do." Kurama replied.

"And they don't have a problem with that? I mean Keiko used to discuss demons with me but she never believed in them as much as I did." Jess asked confused.

"Why would Keiko have a problem with us being demons, she married one?" Kurama asked curious.

It took a second for Jess to register what he just said, but when she did she screamed. "WHAT?! She knew they existed all this time and never told me?!" She said pacing. "And she even married one. Oooh she is so dead when I see her." With that said Jess started thinking of ways she could hurt her cousin. 'How many ways can you be tortured?' She thought grinning evilly.

The look on her face was so scary the demons decided to change the subject before they started shaking in fear.

"Well…" Kurama started and waited until he had her attention. "Now that you know about us being demons there's something else you should know. Do you know about demons inner beasts?"

"Yes, they're the primal side of every demon. They are what compel a demon to mate, kill and protect what they have claimed as theirs. Like their family and such." Jess replied. "Why?"

"To put it simply, our inner beasts have claimed you." He replied.

"Claimed as what? Am I considered as family or …mate?" She asked gulping, not sure if she actually wanted to know the answer.

Hiei looked at her and his eyes flashed red. "What do you think?" He asked huskily.

Jess blushed. 'What do I do now? There are two demons who want to mate with me. I know I wanted to meet some demons, but this is not what I had in mind.'

Now that their intended knew they were demons and they had stated their intentions, their inner beasts took over and both demons stalked over to Jess.

When she saw Kurama and Hiei coming towards her, she started backing up and soon found herself against a tree with two red eyed demons in front of her. "Hey you two, snap out of it." She begged as she sunk further into the tree.

Their rational minds heard her plea, but their demons would not walk away without putting at least a temporary mark on her. They both put their heads down near her collarbone, one on each side, and licked her skin. Feeling her shudder they each grabbed an arm and swiftly bit her at that junction. Lapping at her blood, they licked her wounds clean and backed away, still holding her so they could explain before she bolted.

When they started to lick her skin she shuddered, partially in pleasure and partially in fear. However it turned into complete fear when she felt them bite her neck, and she had to bite her tongue to keep from screaming. When they pulled their fangs out she tried to run, but they each had a hold of her arm and refused to let go.

"Why?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

"We're sorry for causing you pain." Kurama said after their beasts had given them back control over their bodies. "But it was for your own protection."

Glaring at him, Jess snapped. "How can biting me be for my own protection? If you wanted to protect me you'd never have bitten me."

Growling, Hiei forced her to look at him. "We did it so we wouldn't rape you." He snarled.

Sighing, Kurama explained. "Ever since we first saw you our beasts have demanded that we take you, but we refused to take you by force. So we started courting you in the demon way, however we had to tell you what we were before we could get any further into the courtship. Once we explained everything to you and you accepted us, our beasts broke free and wanted to take you right then. We placated them by putting a temporary mating mark on you so they would not try to mate you by force."

Sighing, Jess nodded. "I thank you for not raping me, but I wish you had told me before hand what was going to happen."

They sat back down on the bench and she tried to relax. "So what did you mean by temporary mating mark?" Jess asked after a few minutes of silence.

"It's a mark that demons place on their intended that tells other demons she's theirs and to stay away." Hiei said. "But it only last for a few days."

"The real mating mark can only be placed during the actual act of mating, and then it becomes permanent." Kurama finished.

"These marks will disappear if I don't sleep with you guys, is that right?" Jess asked, rubbing the two sore wounds.

Hearing her question made both demons flinch. They hoped that that didn't mean she was trying to get rid of their marks.

Kurama nodded his head slowly. "Do you want the marks to go away?" He asked sadly.

Shaking her head, Jess sighed. "I don't know. I mean I kinda like you guys but we just met. This is all a lot to absorb."

"We understand." Kurama said as the two demons got up to leave. "We will leave you alone for a few minutes to think."

They started to walk away, but Hiei stopped. He turned back around and quickly pressed his lips to Jess's in a chaste kiss, then took off after his friend.

Flustered, Jess put her fingers to her lips. 'That was my first kiss.'
