Chapter Five
Kurama and Hiei were married on a beautiful spring day when the sakura trees were in bloom, just as the fox had wanted. All in attendance agreed that the blossoms were more beautiful that year than any other. The only thing more beautiful that the radiant cherry blossoms was the ceremony formally uniting Hiei and Kurama as mates. The ceremony had been simple and elegant and yet that made it all the more beautiful. The celebration afterward was as joyous as any festival Kurama had attended in his youth. There was no shortage of food, drink, or music and dancing.
Hiei enjoyed himself to the fullest , surprising himself. He was even more stunned when Sata had asked him to dance. A few more vixens had the courage to ask the same of Hiei, and he accepted, given the occasion. Kurama stole him away at some point, saving him from having to dance with all of them. As soon as the party was in full swing and both were sure that they would not be missed for quite some time, they snuck away from the party to begin their own private celebration.
Kurama sighed as he and Hiei were alone at last. The hour was late and it had been a long and wonderful day. Kurama pulled Hiei to him and claimed his lips for a sweet kiss. Hiei smirked at him. "That's got to be the hundredth time we've kissed today," he said. "That's the benefit of it being our wedding day," Kurama replied lightly. "No one can chide us for making out in front of everyone," he said. Hiei laughed. He couldn't dispute his new mate there.
Hiei reached up and pulled Kurama in for another kiss, this one was just as loving as the last, but more heated, tinged with desire. He was eager to taste his new mate, and worship that god like body of his with plenty of kisses and caresses. Kurama responded in kind. He could feel Hiei's desired through their new bond and it served to fuel his own. He too had been longing for the time when they could at last consummate their vows.
The kisses became more heated with each one exchanged. Hiei had sparked the flames of desire within his new mate and he was looking forward to seeing how hot that fire would burn.
Finally Kurama withdrew, his eyes glazed with love and lust for his mate. Hiei smirked and caressed Kurama's cheek sensually. "Let's go to bed Fox," he suggested huskily, then turned and headed for the bedroom. Kurama followed his mate silently, watching as Hiei undressed. The fire apparition smirked, knowing the yoko was watching.
Kurama watched transfixed as Hiei moved toward the bed. His eyes roamed unashamedly over his mate's well sculpted body. Hiei turned slowly for him, gradually raising his eyes to meet Kurama's. The yoko gave him an appreciative smile and circled him like a predator circles its prey. "Like what you see Fox?" Hiei asked teasingly. "I love what I see," Kurama replied huskily. Hiei smiled. "Good," He said as he reached for the belt of Kurama's white tunic.
Kurama gracefully slipped away from him. "You gave me a nice little show, I believe it's time that I returned the favor," he murmured into Hiei's ear, then teasingly ran his tongue along the ridge of his mate's ear. Hiei shivered and walked over the bed. He made himself comfortable as he watched Kurama walk over to the dresser of their rented bedroom and press a button on one of his numerous music boxes, that he had brought along and set out before the ceremony especially for this occasion.
A slow melody began to play and Kurama moved with it, his tall lithe body moving flawlessly to the music in a sensual display. Slowly, Kurama began to untie his tunic. Hiei watched spellbound as his mate teasingly began to undress. The tunic seemed to slip from Kurama's body in an agonizingly slow fashion before revealing Kurama's muscular back and arms. The yoko turned to face his mate and Hiei's eyes were drawn to the well sculpted chest. He lifted his eyes and met Kurama's, finding a mischievous glint in the silver haired youko's golden eyes.
Kurama's dance became more seductive as he moved to the slow sensual music. The yoko came closer to the bed. Hiei reached out to touch him, draw him into his arms and onto the bed, but Kurama evaded his beloved's touch. He moved out of range of Hiei's hands and turned his back to him. Kurama slowly removed his pants, giving Hiei quite a view of his beautifully round rear as his silver tail came around to cover his front. Kurama turned slowly then and approached the bed, letting his tail gradually slip back to it's natural position, revealing himself in all his glory to his new mate as the music faded to an end.
Hiei couldn't take his eyes off Kurama. The yoko was breathtakingly beautiful. He found it hard to believe that such a stunning creature was now his. Kurama smiled wickedly as he joined Hiei on the bed. "I see you enjoyed my little show," he murmured as he gently caressed the hardening flesh between Hiei's legs. The fire apparition let out a low moan. "I don't remember you ever dancing like that," Hiei replied breathlessly. "You're the only one who has ever seen me do so and the only one who ever will," Kurama said as he rolled Hiei onto his back and began worshiping his mate's body with kisses and sensual caresses.
Hiei moaned as Kurama's touch set his body on fire with pleasure. He had never felt such sensations, not even on that night they had sex in a moment of total and complete abandon. This was completely different and somehow he knew that this was as it should be.
The fire apparition moaned out Kurama's name as the yoko took his time worshipping his body. Kurama delighted in the sounds, pleased that he was doing what Hiei liked. The silver haired fox nipped and suckled at his mate's broad chest. The fox had discovered Hiei was quite sensitive there since they'd began exploring one another's bodies and finding out what the other liked. Kurama ran his hand along Hiei's inner thigh, teasing the sensitive flesh there.
Suddenly he found himself on his back with Hiei looming over him. The fire apparition's eyes were ablaze with desire as he captured Kurama's lips in a searing kiss before mimicking Kurama's earlier actions. Kurama moaned and writhed beneath Hiei as his mate kissed, nipped licked and caressed his body lovingly. His eyes widened as Hiei caressed the base of his tail, one of the most sensitive parts of his body. Pleasure shot through him like wildfire and he bucked up into Hiei with a loud moan before trying to press himself deeper into his touch. Kurama knew he would not last much longer if Hiei kept that up.
"Hiei, please, take me," Kurama moaned. Hiei's eyes widened. "Are you sure?" he asked. "Yes," Kurama moaned. "I need you now," he panted. Hiei released Kurama's tail and the yoko whimpered at the loss of contact. Hiei kissed his lips soothingly then looked in the drawer on the bedside table for the bottle of oil he knew Kurama kept there. Carefully he prepared his mate and himself.
At last their bodies joined as one and they began their lovemaking with a slow steady rhythm. This time there was no worry about misunderstandings. They both knew this was what they wanted. For both it was different than the previous time they had joined their bodies. This time their hearts and souls were joined as well.
Hiei brushed Kurama's neck with his lips and nibbled gently at the skin, silently asking the yoko's permission to make his mark. Kurama bared his neck to him, wordlessly granting permission. Hiei pressed his fanged teeth deep into Kurama's skin, making his mark upon his mate. At the same time he felt a sting at his own neck as Kurama made his mark as well.
Their lovemaking became more frenzied as their spirit energy began to meld as well, deepening their bond. Hiei suddenly could feel what Kurama was feeling in addition to the sensations of his own body. Kurama could feel the same. Their bond had cemented with the marking and now one could feel exactly what the other was feeling if they so desired and every thought could be passed from one to the other as easily as speaking the words aloud.
As one they reached their climax, crying out each other's name to the heavens as they reached their release. Hiei collapsed upon his mate, panting heavily. "That was incredible," Kurama panted as he wrapped his arms around Hiei in a loving embrace. "Your old lovers won't be pleased at all to hear you've taken a mate once word gets out," he added. "Fox, I have no other lovers past or present. You are my first, my last, my only," Hiei responded as he closed his eyes. Kurama's eyes widened. "You certainly seemed to know what you were doing," he said. Hiei smirked. "It's amazing what you pick up from the minds of others," he responded, his third eye blinking open for a brief moment. Kurama smiled and closed his eyes as well. "Yes, it is," he agreed. Kurama snuggled into his mate and sighed with contentment as he drifted off to sleep. He felt as though he were the happiest yoko in all three worlds. He was reunited with his family and now had a mate who he loved with all his heart and who loved him with all of his heart as well.
