The next song is Beautiful by Creed. I don't own them either.

But once again, that would be awesome.

Well, I hope you enjoy the next chapter...

Oh by the way:

Because I keep forgetting details, the second chapter I said Kyo had blue eyes and then I said she had brown eyes with a hint of red. Well, she has the brown eyes. Also, I didn't write that Kyo woke up, which she did.

Also, I'm changing the rating to M, so just remember that.

Hope you enjoy

Kyo looked at Kurama, who's back was turned from everyone as he stared out the window. He looked so distant, slouched over and quiet. Kyo immediately suspected he was upset and she pulled away from Yukina and Keiko's grip.

"Kurama?" Kyo touched Kurama's shoulder and he swivelled his head to face her. She stared into his brilliant green eyes and leaned over to kiss him. Kurama reluctantly kissed her, but quickly pulled his lips away and he turned his head back tot he window.

Kyo looked over at Hiei and glared at him. It was almost as if she knew it was his fault Kurama was acting that way. The response from Hiei wasn't what she expected. He snickered and a slight chuckle came from his throat. That just made Kyo angrier and she stormed right back to Yukina and Keiko.

"Hiei, do you have anything to do with this?" Yukina looked over to her older brother. He turned away from his sister's big, round, innocent eyes. If Yukina looked at him like that, Hiei couldn't lie to her. She was so precious and delicate and she didn't deserve to be lied to.

"Yes," Hiei muttered, so only he could hear his voice.

Kurama, with his acute hearing, also heard Hiei's remark. He smiled and rested his forehead on the window pane. Lying was Hiei's worst trait, and he did it quite often. The only person that he couldn't handle lying to was his sister. It was difficult enough to keep his identity secret from her. Kurama guessed Hiei couldn't handle it anymore.

"What?" Kyo snapped. Hiei was silent and looked straight into Kyo's eyes. It wasn't hard for him to lie to her. After all, he despised her.

"I said no, baka," he replied. One corner of Hiei's lip slowly crawled up until he had formed a half smile. Kyo stuck her nose in the air and looked away from the tiny fire demon.

Keiko grabbed Yusuke's hand and he wrapped his strong arms around her. Kyo was suffering and no one was helping her. For some strange reason, Keiko felt like it was her fault. She felt like she had to do something. Maybe it was because Kyo was her close friend. But, nothing she could do would make Kyo happier, and Keiko knew that. Demon's hearts were tough and could break human's easily.

But Kurama should be an exception. He's Kurama, the sweetest demon she's ever met. His heart was pure, partially because- Well, actually she didn't know why.

Then, it hit her.

The glances, the smiles, the secrets, them. Kurama loved Hiei and Hiei kept Kurama so...so, happy! Of course. That's why they were always so close when they were partners. That's why whenever one of them got hurt, the other would either shut down or immediately be at their side.

And that's why she found Kurama crying the night Hiei left for Mukuro. They're truly in love, and Kyo was just another obstacle to keep them separated.

"Keiko, you okay?" Yusuke's grip tightened around Keiko's waist. He knew she was well, but he wanted to make sure nothing was troubling her. And if something was, he'd always fix it.

"How well do you know Hiei and Kurama?" Keiko muttered and looked up at Yusuke. He bit his lip and shrugged.

"I don't know. I guess pretty well."

"They're in love right."

Yusuke's entire body froze and he looked around, making sure no one else heard it. No one was looking at Keiko, though.

"Yusuke," Keiko tapped his arm lightly. Yusuke sighed heavily and nodded.

"Don't tell anyone," he murmured and let go of her. All he kept thinking was, 'how did she figure it out?' And then, another thought popped into his head. Who else could recognize the relationship between the two?

Hiei glanced at Kurama. He was slouched with his elbows resting on the ledge and his legs were spread only a few centimeters apart. Hiei's eyes traced Kurama's perfect figure. He followed the arch in Kurama's back, right over his tight butt and down his thin, muscular legs.

Kurama stole a glance at Hiei and found him staring at his body. His eyes narrowed, but a small smile came to his pale lips. "Do you want to stay over?" Kurama mouthed, holding Hiei's eyes with his own. Hiei nodded and smirked.

"Kurama, I'm leaving," Kyo blurted out and everyone looked at her. "I need some time to think."

Kurama bit his lip and glanced at Hiei. Fire was dancing in Hiei's eyes as he made eye contact with Kurama again. Kurama pulled his eyes from Hiei and looked back at Kyo.

"Fine," he said.

Kyo felt extremely offended. She just told her boyfriend that she was leaving him for a little and he didn't give a shit. Maybe he knew she really was going to come back. That's what she hoped because if he didn't care...

If he didn't care, she would be heart broken.

She wears a coat of color

Loved by some, feared by others

She's immortalized in young men's eyes

Kyo turned to look at Kurama for the last time. She planned to come back in three days, but she had no idea where she would stay. Yusuke and Keiko offered to let her sleep on their couch, but she didn't want to stay with someone knew. Wild thoughts were fluttering throughout her head and there was so much she wanted to do.

It was late, about eleven o'clock, when Kyo closed the door quietly behind her. All the guests were gone and it was finally just Kurama and Hiei. Kurama collapsed on the couch next to Hiei, sighing heavily. Hiei immediately began to kiss Kurama.

But, Kurama was in no mood. He was tired and upset. So, he pushed Hiei off lightly. All Kurama wanted to do was watch a little TV and think.

Kurama switched the channels, searching for something interesting. Hiei kept glancing at Kurama, but they were very quick glances. Kurama could feel his hot eyes burning on him every time he did look at the kitsune.

Of course Kurama missed the fire demon, of course he missed holding Hiei in his arms, but he was in no mood to be touched. The worst part was, he didn't understand why he was in such a bad mood. Maybe it was just the fact that Kyo left.

But why would he be upset over that?

Lust she breeds in the eyes of brothers

Violent sons make bitter mothers

So close your eyes, here's your surprise

Hiei pulled away from Kurama with a heavy heart when Kurama shoved him. Before, all Kurama wanted was to kiss his fire demon and make love to him. Now, everything seemed to change. He got quieter and much more somber as soon as Kyo said she was leaving.

'Is Kurama really in love with that ningen?' Hiei thought as he eyed the troubled fox. 'And why can't I cheer him up from whatever was upsetting him.' He was confused, probably more confused than he's ever been. Kurama was sitting next to him and he couldn't touch the fox. What was wrong with his lover?

"Kurama," Hiei pleaded, hoping it was all a joke.

Kurama didn't answer his plea. Instead, he shut off the TV and stood up. Neither of them said a word as Kurama left the room.

Tears ran down Hiei's cheek, becoming the fiery tear gems and falling onto his lap. Now he knew he did something wrong and there was nothing to do about it.

Unles...

The beautiful is empty,

The beautiful is free,

The beautiful loves no one,

The beautiful stripped me.

Kurama tossed the lettuce for the salad he had a strange craving for. He poured the dressing in, stirring the bowl harder and harder. All he could think about was the fire demon sitting in the other room, confused and hurt. Kurama had hurt the demon and he was sorry, but he refused to be touched.

Suddenly, Hiei's ki disappeared. Kurama turned his head to the door and stared down the dark hallway. The only light he could see was the hanging lamp above his head. The living room lights had been shut off, probably by Hiei. Kurama decided that Hiei probably fell asleep.

But he was very wrong. Hiei had flattened himself next to the kitchen door, masking his ki. He hoped Kurama didn't notice that there was someone right outside of his door. He strained his head and looked into the kitchen. Kurama was standing in front of the counter, scraping his salad onto a plate. Hiei smirked and leapt.

Kurama found himself pinned under Hiei. A few pieces of lettuce were lying next to him, but other than that, there was absolutely no mess. Hiei began to nibble Kurama's neck and Kurama moaned in response.

"Hiei!" he begged, trying to free himself from Hiei. "Stop, please!"

Before he knew it, his pants and boxers had been tossed somewhere behind Hiei. Kurama's entire body shook. Hiei was raping him. Just because Kurama wasn't in the mood, Hiei was raping him!

"Hiei, STOP!" Kurama whined loudly, struggling and withering. Hiei wouldn't let Kurama go, though. Hiei's own pants slipped off and he began to kiss Kurama's stomach, moving down to the mark on his hip. Kurama moaned loudly as it singed his skin. Hiei let go of Kurama's hands, but now he was holding his legs down. Kurama sat up and tried to push Hiei off. The little demon had seemed to lock himself to Kurama.

"Kurama," Hiei murmured and Kurama looked down, hoping that wasn't just a moan. "I hate that ningen girl." Hiei stood up and pulled his pants up. Kurama looked up at him. That was almost pointless and he really needed to find his pants.

Hiei beat him to it and threw them at Kurama's chest. Then, he disappeared into the living room. Kurama sighed and slipped into his clothes. Suddenly he realized Hiei wouldn't have actually done anything to harm him. Hiei wanted to see what reaction he got and whatever it was, he'd answer it with his own reaction. Kurama reacted negatively and it hurt Hiei. It hurt Kurama, too.

In your mind she's your companion

Vile instincts often candid

Your regret is all that's left

Kurama lay on his bed with his hands underneath his head and his elbows sticking up. He lay there for a long time without his eyes ever closing. Random thoughts popped into his mind, like what was Hiei dreaming about or where Kyo was going. From the living room, he heard a loud whimper from Hiei. It must've been a bad dream.

Kurama felt responsible for Hiei's dream, whatever it was. Hiei wanted Kurama and he immediately rejected him because he didn't want anyone to touch him. Or maybe, that's exactly what he needed.

The darkness overwhelmed Kurama as he stumbled into the hallway, desperately feeling for the living room entrance. Finally, he found it and felt his way to the couch. He touched Hiei's silky, black hair and moved his hands to his face. Kurama stroked Hiei's cheek and felt his eye's eyelashes flutter and his eyes open against his hand.

Hiei sat up, digging his nails into Kurama's arm. At first, he thought it was a demon attacking him, but then he remembered he was in Kurama's house and he was safe from any demons. He let go of Kurama's hand and scooted away from Kurama.

Kurama took this as an opportunity to sit down, so he did. They sat in darkness and complete silence for a little while, until Kurama put an end to it by whispering Hiei's name. Hiei looked at the kitsune, but didn't reply.

"Hiei," Kurama cleared his throat, hoping this time Hiei would hear him. Still, Hiei didn't answer. Kurama grew frustrated and shouted loudly, "ANSWER ME, BAKA!" Hiei turned his head to Kurama as a response.

"Thank you," Kurama sighed. "I'm sorry, don't be angry."

"Hn."

"Please, Hiei."

"Hn."

"Hiei."

"Baka," Hiei turned his entire body to face Kurama.

"Hiei, listen. I'm sorry, please don't be angry," Kurama stared into Hiei's crimson eyes. Both their eyes were getting fairly used to the darkness, but they could only see the outline of each other and their eyes.

"Why should I be angry?" Hiei snapped. Kurama knew he was upset and he didn't blame him. A long sigh escaped Kurama's throat. Hiei seemed almost interested in this sigh, but immediately returned to his normal mood.

Kurama's sigh was of frustration and sadness. He wanted Hiei to believe him so he could sleep peacefully, but at the same time he wanted-Actually he wasn't really sure what he wanted. All he knew was something was eating his heart away and he needed to find out what.

She told me where I'm going

And it's far away from home

I think I'll go there on my own

"Hiei, something's troubling me. I feel like something's tearing me apart and there's only one way to fix it. I don't know what, though," Kurama sighed again, only it was a small, quiet sigh. "I thought maybe you could help me."

"Hn, fox. All you think about is yourself. And that ningen. Did you even think for one moment that maybe all I want is to be with you forever? Or maybe that I can't live without you?" Hiei gasped and drew in his breath quickly. He didn't mean to say it, he didn't even want to say it. But it was always how he felt.

"Re-really Hiei?" Kurama shook, not believing what just pasted over Hiei's lips. Hiei was once again silent, but his expression was screaming. Everything about both Hiei and Kurama changed at that moment. Suddenly, their lives didn't matter anymore. Nothing mattered.

"Hn," was all Hiei could say. Even when he said that, it was shaky and so unconfident. It wasn't like Hiei at all.

They sat there, silence overwhelming them once again. Both their eyes were locked on each other, though, and they seemed to pass silent words. Finally, Kurama couldn't take it anymore. He flung himself onto Hiei and began to passionately kiss him, sliding his tongue into Hiei's mouth. Hiei moaned loudly and wrapped his arms around Kurama. His nails dug into Kurama's back, slowly scratching his flesh.

Kurama could feel Hiei slowly growing erect against his leg. Kurama began to grow hard, himself. Hiei wrapped his legs around Kurama's waist, pressing his manhood harshly against Kurama's stomach.

As Kurama began to move his way down, kissing his neck, then his covered chest, Hiei moaned and his grip around Kurama's hips tightened. Kurama had an extremely tough time taking Hiei's shirt because he was dripping with sweat.

"Fox," Hiei growled and Kurama looked up at him in response. "Fox, you're taking to long!" Hiei exclaimed and Kurama chuckled. Hiei threw off both his and Kurama's shirt. Finally, Kurama was able to kiss the fire demon the way he wanted.

Kurama nibbled Hiei's nipple and slowly circled his tongue around it. Hiei pulled his legs off Kurama and lay down, pulling Kurama by two locks of hair. Kurama refused to lay down, though. Instead, he moved his way to Hiei's pants. Hiei watched in fascination as Kurama removed his pants and boxers with his teeth.

Hiei cried out when Kurama sunk his teeth into his erect dick. Kurama began to suck, swirling his tongue around the head. Hiei's back arched and he clawed the couch, ripping a piece off. The sound of his couch tearing didn't trouble Kurama. All that mattered was his task.

Next, Kurama's pants slid off and Hiei stared in awe at Kurama. Of course he had seen Kurama naked before, but it had been so long.

"Wait" Hiei moaned and Kurama looked at him. "Please. Not to-" It was too late. Kurama pushed himself deeply inside Hiei and wrapped his mouth around Hiei's penis. Hiei shook violently and moaned loudly as Kurama started to push himself rhythmically in and out of Hiei. They both felt as if they were about to explode, but Hiei did first. Kurama lapped up the cum, still moving his hips. Finally, he burst inside Hiei, causing Hiei to moan loudly.

After about thirty minutes, Kurama collapsed on Hiei's hot body. Both were sweaty, sticky, tired and extremely content. Hiei ran his hands throw the exhausted fox's hair and smirked at the gorgeous demon lying on top of him.

"Hiei," Kurama panted.

"What?" Hiei still played with Kurama's red locks, tossing and tangling them playfully.

"We haven't done that in a long time."

Hiei smirked. "I know, fox."

Kurama put his chin on Hiei's chest and glared at him. "That's not my name, Hiei."

"Hn." Kurama laughed and kissed Hiei's chest.

"I think I shall start calling you Koorime," Kurama chuckled and earned himself a playful tug of his red locks.

"Shut the fuck up," Hiei growled and brought his hands under his own head.

"Oh come on, Hiei. It's just a joke. You think I like being called fox?"

"Yes." Kurama laughed again and wrapped his arms around Hiei's stomach. Hiei looked down at Kurama and narrowed his eyes. "Why are you so giggly?"

That shut Kurama up. They lay there for a long time, letting silence and darkness consume them once again. When Kurama was finally about to fall asleep, Hiei brought him back to reality.

"Wake up," he nudged his lover. Kurama's eyes fluttered open and he mumbled a quiet what? "I love you, Kurama."

The kitsune's eyes flew open and he smiled. He immediately crawled up so his lips were touching Hiei's. Then, he shoved them violently onto Hiei's and kissed him, letting his hands explore Hiei's well carved body.

When he pulled away, Hiei looked dazed. "I wasn't expecting that," he said and they both laughed. "Oh God, fox. Now you gave me the giggles."

Kurama smiled and kissed Hiei once again. "Thanks for listening to me before," he said sarcastically.

"About?"

"Not calling me fox."

"Hn. I didn't before."

"Oh wow, once," Kurama rolled his eyes and sat up, moving off of Hiei.

"Kurama," Hiei muttered and Kurama looked back at him.

"Too late," the fox stood up and left the living room.

"NOT FUNNY!" Hiei shouted at the fox. He heard Kurama laugh and close his bedroom door. Hiei sighed and smiled, himself. 'Stupid fox and his human mood swings,' Hiei thought and laughed silently.

The beautiful is empty,

The beautiful is free,

The beautiful loves no one,

The beautiful stripped me.

The beautiful stripped me.
