Youko: TADA! My first story is now ready to be placed on the net. I think a dance is in order…
Music Slide to the left, Slide to the right…. Everybody clap your hands clap
Hiei: You're a dimwit.
Genkai: HEY that's my word!
Youko: Ignoring the um-Hiei like statement I would just like to say that as much as I would like to I don't own any of these lovely characters.
Yuskue: I don't think we would want you to own us…
Youko: What do u mean you LOVE me!
Kua: well Kurama and Hiei do, but only b/c they get to make out all the time of set…u never write Yuskue and I with our hot mammas.
Hiei: arm flaming grrrrrrrrr don't grrrrrr say grrrrrr that grrrrrr about grrrrrr Yukina grrrrrr. Chases after Kuawbara…. the later is screaming like a pathetic human
Youko: well…um…I hope u enjoy my story. Oh and it is YAOI which means that there is a male/male relationship…if u don't like it don't read it. Now on with the fanfic!
"Always so close to me… and yet your still so far away, why don't you just come into my arms, I'd make you happy"
" Kurama …I…I love…"
" Ssshhh I know… I do love you Hiei."
Kurama sat up as he thought about the words Hiei had spoken to him. Then he realized, it was only a dream. Hiei never spoke those words, shared that intimate moment, and they never looked lovingly into each other's eyes. Kurama, who as a Youko or human, could have anything in the worlds to be his lover, could not get more then friendship out of one particular fire demon.
" Hiei…."
Kurama whispered that name into the darkness of his room as he did every other night he slept in his bed… alone. All he wanted was to have Hiei close to him, as his fighting companion, his friend and his lover. For so long the Kitsune had accepted Hiei as just a friend, he wondered how long he could keep going with out telling him how he truly felt.
" Be happy Kurama, he's nicer to you than he is to anyone else, just accept it and be happy."
With himself convinced that Hiei was feeling something for him, even just friendship, Kurama drifted back into sleep.
Kurama…..
Hiei sat in his favorite tree located in the Makai, when a warm feeling rushed over him. Being a fire demon Hiei was used to being hot, but this was different. It was like a kind of warm he had never felt before and he couldn't tell if he liked it. The feeling rushed over him and he had no control over what he felt, and it seemed as though his stomach turned upside down.
What is that…? Shit I feel sick. Kurama would know how to get this to stop. Kurama…I haven't seen him since our last mission, and that was months ago. I should go and get this checked out.
With that Hiei jumped from the tree in a blur and was gone.
"Yo, Kurama!"
With a huge smile and one hand in the air Yuskue and Kuawbara ran towards him out side of the school building. Turning to face the pair, Kurama set a pair of green gems on them both. When Yuskue got to him Kuawbara was dragging behind complaining about the heat.
" Why did you turn that girl down today Kurama, she was totally in love with you and not to mention she's HOT!"
" Yuskue I have other things on my mind other than whether or not I have a girlfriend. Besides you have Keiko to think about and Kuawbara has Yukina."
Not to mention the fact that I don't exactly have a liking for any girls at the time, I'm thinking if someone else.
" What ever you say Kurama," a dazed look came over Yuskue and then suddenly he snapped back into reality, " OH yea I was gonna ask you, Kuwa and I are gonna go get some ice-cream wanna come?"
Ice cream… Hiei's favorite…
" Yea, I'll come."
Where are you ...
Hiei was standing on a random roof with his jagan open and searching for Kurama's presence. The more he thought about Kurama the more that strange heat consumed his body, he needed the Youko's help and fast.
There you are…
And in a flash he was gone.
He reappeared again on a roof to see Yuskue and that big ofe sitting in the ice-cream shop talking to a long red mane of hair.
Kurama
Kurama was sitting in the booth across from Yuskue and Kuawbara when he felt the familiar brush of ki that could only belong to one demon. To make it less obvious that he was actually excited for Hiei to show up, he waited till he spoke.
A blur of black materialized beside the booth and became the figure of the Forbidden Child.
" Hiei, odd seeing you in town…aren't you gonna sit, next to Kurama's free."
At Yuskue's words Kurama turned to look at Hiei, his eyes a sparkling wild green and his smile radiant. The Fox locked his gaze to Hiei's red orbs and…
Shit…it feels like my stomach is coming up my throat! What the fuck is wrong with me?
The little demon practically melted into the booth with Kurama.
Acting as if the practically liquid demon was nothing at all Kurama quietly asked what everyone was getting, taking special note to open the menu and lean extra close to Hiei to let him have a look.
" Sweet-snow…"
" Yes Hiei, its ice cream, what are you going to get…"
The little fire baby just sat there shaking his head back and forth…back and forth…(5 minutes later) back and forth while Yuskue and Kuawbara stared at him with wide amazed eyes. Kurama must have thought that all of this was quite funny because he promptly started to giggle.
When the waiter came around asking for orders Kuawbara, Yuskue and Kurama said their flavors but Hiei was still shaking his head back and forth... back and forth.
" Um… Hiei…" Kurama looked the menu over and decided to order for the mush-minded demon, " He'll have black cherry."
Once the waiter was gone Kuawbara took the liberty of doing what he does best…pissing off a fire demon.
" Hey Shrimp, what's wrong with ya, is it possibly PMS?"
Now Hiei had no clue what PMS was but the way Yuskue was laughing told him that it was not good so he snapped out of his little stupor.
" Fuck no you overgrown…"
About this time the server came around with their ice cream so the boys decided to shut up. There were all eating, having little conversations in between bites. Hiei looked up to see Kurama laughing at something one of the boys had said, his hair brushing gently against his cheeks. To keep that warm feeling from coming back he looked down at his ice cream.
Its red…red ... like Kurama's hair…brilliant red…
Yuskue looked across from himself just in time to see Hiei close his eyes and fall straight over onto Kurama's side.
Yuskue and Kuawbara jumped up to see if Hiei was all right but quickly sat back down at Kurama's waving hand.
" He's alright, just passed out."
While Kurama's voice was as clam and smooth as ever the other two companions could tell by the look in the Youko's eyes that he was very worried about the little demon laying in his arms.
" I'm going to take him to my house to recover, see you tomorrow."
"Alright, is it ok if we stop by later tomorrow to see how he is?"
Kurama nodded at Yuskue's request and quickly picked up Hiei. It was hard to ignore all the questioning looks that came from people passing by, but Kurama walked on smiling at some of the pedestrians who looked at him like he was some sort of child molester.
Its times like this that I wish that I could run as fast as you Hiei.
When he got home, he raced up stairs, grateful that his mother was not home to question him about the little figure in his arms. Carefully he placed Hiei in his bed and wondered what was wrong with him.
I wonder if I should check over his body…
The Youko stripped Hiei of his black attire and looked him over for any signs of damage… he scanned from his face down to his well toned stomach…
Oh…no nothings wrong…unless it's bad to have such a damn hot body…those muscles … NO, bad Kurama, bad…
The Kitsune had found himself getting ready to run his hands over Hiei's figure. The yearning he felt to hold the little yokai was becoming to much.
While Kurama was sitting there looking at the little demon, Hiei groaned and said something about being hot, so Kurama went downstairs to get a rag and wet it.
Oh…I feel like I got a hangover…where am I?
Hiei opened his eyes to stare at a ceiling that he had woken up to many times in the past when he was hurt.
That Fox…
The opening door and the face of one particular person coming through it interrupted his thoughts. When Kurama noticed Hiei was sitting up he came to his side quickly and gently pushed him back down. As Kurama's smooth hands slid against Hiei's bare shoulders the fire demon shuddered, the warm feeling quickly returning.
That was also when Hiei noticed that his cloths were gone and he wasn't warring anything, his breath caught in his throat.
Hearing the little noise come from the demon Kurama laid the covers over Hiei to make him more comfortable and placed the wet rag against his forehead.
" Stupid Fox, what's that for…"
Hiei crossed his eyes upward, swatted at the rag on his head repeatedly until he knocked it off.
"Well you were saying something about being hot, so I went to get something to cool you down."
"I'm a fire demon, I don't get hot." Hiei said mater of factly, crossing his arms
Seeing the I'm-so-good-nothing-can-hurt-me-look in Hiei's eyes Kurama quickly turned just as stubborn.
" Well then, may I ask why you passed out at the ice cream parlor and acted like a bowl of jelly up until then?"
"Hn"
That meant…I'm to good to answer that question and you can't make me
No Hiei, don't shut me out…
Kurama softened his voice and leaned closer to the fire baby…" Hiei…please, tell me…please"
His breath caressed the side of Hiei's neck and that warm feeling returned and this time with vengeance
Admit it to your self, stupid demon, you need his help, how can he help you when you won't tell him anything?
Pushing away the voice in the back of his head he spoke.
"Kurama, I don't know what's wrong with me. I get all warm and my stomach rolls over, I think that way I passed out."
Concern crossed Kurama's face and it then it disappeared, but not before Hiei saw it.
" Tell me, how often does this happen?"
" Mostly when I look at someone or think of someone, and I don't know why."
" Who is it Hiei…"
" You"
ME! No, it's not possible…this can't be happening! There is no way he could…could he?
" M… me"
He must have looked really shocked because Hiei sat up and looked at Kurama intently.
" Did you honestly just say…me?"
" Yea, something wrong"
" No, no everything's fine."
Kurama was so happy all of a sudden that he leaned forward and wrapped Hiei in the biggest hug with the fire demon's head in the nape of Kurama's neck enveloped in the Youko's hair.
And there it was again, that feeling, he felt faint.
Oh no not again…
" Kur-am-a…."
" Crap, I made him pass out again…"
Oh well…let him sleep. He probably hasn't gotten much r & r while with Mukuro. Could he honestly be serious that it was me? He probable doesn't even know what he is feeling…I wonder how I should tell him…don't worry about it, your Youko Kurama, just go with it and nothing can resist you…
A small smile crept over his face as he thought about what was to come…
Hiei hadn't woken up from his last little spell and Kurama was slightly worried. It was very abnormal for Hiei to stay asleep for this long with out moving…even when he was seriously injured.
The Youko had been sitting by his bed all night watching the little fire demon like a mother would a sick child, helping him out in his own special way. As sleep tugged at his eyes he decided to walk downstairs and get a midnight snack. After he rummaged through all the cabinets and picked out something to eat, he sat down at the dining room table and slowly began to munch on the goodies.
While he was sitting there he could feel sleep getting heavier on his eyes and soon he drifted off to sleep.
Kurama woke with a jump at hearing a knock at his door. He woke with his face smooched into a piece of marble cake. Quickly he stood up and tried to make it look less obvious that he had fallen asleep at the table…and hide the fact that there was icing stuck all in his hair. After opening the door he stood looking at the faces of Kuawbara, Yuskue and Botan.
" Hey…" Kurama managed to say, sleep still heavy in his voice.
" Kurama, you look like you were asleep at the table." Botan giggled as she spoke
How did you … and …why are you … I thought only Yuskue and Kuawbara were coming."
Botan slowly waked in a circle around the Youko studying him very closely…
" I knew because you hairs all a mess, not to mention that theres something stuck in it and you look like someone who slept very uncomfortably…that's exactly how I look when I sleep at the table."
About this time Yuskue walked up to the Youko and sampled a bit of the white goo in Kurama's hair.
" You look like someone who sleeps with icing in their hair, Botan I don't think you should do that."
They all laughed, except for Kurama…
" That still doesn't explain—"
" She forced us to let her come along."
Yuskue didn't look to happy about the third guest and his look deepened when his statement got a loud BINGO! From behind him.
" Well, I came here to see the shrimp…and no offence Kurama, but I'm kinda tired of standing in your doorway…"
" Oh yea, he's upstairs, come on."
Botan wasn't fooled…the two guys may not have noticed it, but her female intuition allowed her to read Kurama like a book, he was worried sick over Hiei…isn't love sweet? Its likda like cake-icing, hehe. She also wondered if Hiei knew about those feelings.
Before she knew it Kurama was opening the door and all four of them were walking into Kurama's room. Almost automatically the Youko was slumped in the chair by the bed looking at the little sleeping demon.
" How long as he been that way?" Yuskue was standing beside Kurama and was studying the fire demon and the Youko.
" Since we left the ice cream shop, he woke for a few minutes but…"
Even Yuskue could see it now, the kitsune had been up all night looming over Hiei, and he looked horrible. If he hadn't known better, the human boy would have sworn that Kurama had been giving some of his ki to the kooromi. He was deathly pale and seemed to be half-asleep.
" Kurama, you weren't giving Hiei any of your ki were you?"
To his question Yuskue met only silence…
"Well…were you?"
Kurama tried to lower his head but the trio could see the Youko blush horribly. Kuawbara got this weird look on his face and Yuskue crouched down and put his hand on Kurama's shoulder.
" He'll be OK Kurama…its Hiei…he's to stubborn to not be o---"
" Hn…I'm fine baka…"
" Hiei!" Kurama couldn't keep the huge smile from coming to his face, and he wanted to hold the little fire baby so bad.
Instead he kept it to an appropriate hug, but as soon as he had Hiei in his arms the Jaganshi pulled away roughly, making Kurama lunge back into his chair, a hurt look an his delicate features.
" No…that last time you did that I went out again, your not gonna touch me."
He hadn't even noticed the others in the room until after he had finished his sentence and Kurama looked like his dog had been shot. Once he noticed the others he gave them his typical greeting.
" What the Hell are you doing here?" Hiei was about to stand up when he remembered that he wasn't wearing anything.
" Damned Fox, where'd you put my cloths."
Not being to happy at the fact that all these people had shown up, and the fact he was in the bare minimum of attire possible, the fire demon was cussing at everyone including Kurama.
The Youko couldn't believe his ears. Hiei never usually said thank you when Kurama tended his wounds but he never treated him like this. His hopes of finding companionship in the one person he loved were ripped apart and he was speechless.
" Answer my Fucking question!"
" On the dresser…" Kurama barely managed to choke/whisper out those words before his speech was caught in his throat.
Everyone turned around and allowed Hiei to get dressed. Once he was finished he picked up his sword and headed toward the window.
" You could say thank you, you know." Kuawbara spoke quietly, trying not to aggravate the demon further.
" Hn"
That meant… what the Hell do you know
" Look Hiei…look at all he's done for you, take a good hard look and if you still wanna just leave then go head."
Yuskue waved his hand frantically at the window not caring anymore about how Hiei felt; he only wanted to make sure that Kurama was OK. Botan had made her way over to Kurama and was looking into his eyes when she saw a flash of something that scarred her. It was only there for a brief second, but she could have sworn the Kurama looked as if he could murder anything to get what he wanted.
"Oh no you don't…"
The Youko stood and walked over to the window, slamming it shut and facing Hiei with the most determined look.
" No… he's not going any where." Then he spoke directly to the little fire demon.
" You came to me asking for help, and I refuse to let you leave until I have helped you. " With this he placed his hands on his hips and nodded his head once.
And helped myself…I'm not letting you go, not when I was so close.
The others had left, leaving Kurama and Hiei alone in the Fox's room. They had all come up with different excuses to leave once Kurama had become increasingly intent to keep the Koorime in his house.
Now they both sat on the kitsune's bed, Hiei sitting cross-legged and armed, looking away from the fox who was starring hard at him. After enduring the cold emeralds on his face, the fire demon came to the conclusion that he still needed help.
" All right Fox, what's wrong with me? You seem to know so much."
" Hiei, theres only one thing I can think of that could be wrong with you."
The Forbidden Child was confused; usually when something was wrong with him the Youko had this sad, worried look and his face. Now all he saw was this beautiful grin and eyes intent on getting what he wanted.
" I think that you're in love Hiei."
The fire baby snorted then asked Kurama a question
" In love? Who the Hell with, no one cares about me in that way."
Is he honestly that clueless? Well lets have some fun shall we?
" Well it would have to be someone very close to you, that you care about deeply."
The half-breed sat there thinking of all the people that he knew cared about him.
Theres Yukaina but she's my sister. Um… no way in Hell its Kuawbara. Could it be Kurama… I suppose I'm closest to him… no he told me once that love is between males and females not males and males. That only leaves one person, Muroku. THAT'S IT! She's the only person that I care about that cares about me, she's like my mother. But can I really be in love? Forbidden Children don't love. I suppose I could talk to her about this.
" Mukuro"The Youko had no idea that the jaganshi was talking about… what did Muroku have to do with this?
" What are you talking about Hiei?"
" It must be Mukuro, Fox, I gotta go."
Then it hit him, Hiei thought that he was in love with Muroku, probably because the stupid Fox told him once that same sex relationships didn't happen.
Kurama was about to stop his love from leaving, when he noticed that he had already gone.
" Damn! I let him get away again. Just as I was about to tell him how I felt."
The angered Youko slammed his fists down on the bed in frustration.
He came to the conclusion that Hiei would come back, after Muroku rejected him as a lover, and then Kurama would have his prize. He would only need to wait a little longer.
Hiei couldn't remember the last time he'd been so afraid to talk to Mukuro. He had entered her throne room full of confidence, but as soon as he saw her sitting there, papers in front of her, he was speachless.
" Hiei, are you alright? You look like someone just killed you best friend."
Do I honestly look that bad? I can't talk to her about this, who would love a Forbidden Child? Stop and think about it… Kurama would just throw it all out there, lets do things his way, just this once.
" Mukuro, I… I … love you."
There he'd said it. It was out in the open for better or worse. The jaganshi would have preferred either answer, compared to what she gave him.
The bionic woman just sat there, looking at Hiei with wide eyes that he couldn't read. It seemed like he stood there for an eternity, hands clenched at his side, telling himself over and over again that that was the last time he did things Kurama's way.
Finally when all eternity had passed, Mukuro stood and made her way over to the embarrassed little demon.
" Hiei…you're my heir and I trust you with a lot of things…"
Oh no, here it comes again, the Forbidden Child not being good enough…
" That's why I'm now going to trust you with my heart."
Holy shit……
Hiei had never been as surprised in all his life…some one loved him.
" I suppose that you're shocked. I've tried to keep my feelings for you hidden for some time now. It's good to see that you care about me in the same way."
Remind me to do things Kurama's way more often…
" So Jiganshi, what do we do now? Should we start planing the wedding or go make love first?"
In all the years he had known the ruler to a third of the Makai Hiei had never heard her talk like this. He supposed that they should start making plans first, it didn't seem like making love right off would be something Kurama would do.
Hiei expressed his feelings toward Mukuro, carefully leaving out the part about Kurama. She didn't seem too happy that he crushed her hopes of getting laid but she agreed anyway.
" As you wish my beautiful fire demon."
With that she placed her arms around Hiei's shoulders and together they walked out of her throne room.
Two freakin months! How can he just leave me here for TWO MONTHS!
It was two months to the day that Hiei had charged out his window proclaiming his love to the bionic woman. After all that time Kurama had heard nothing from the fire demon.
The red-hared beauty was sitting on his favorite park bench noting how his plan was slowly coming unraveled. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice when Kuawbara and Yuskue sat down on either side of him.
" Hu-hum"
Yuskue had coughed to attain Kurama's attention.
" Oh Yuskue, Kuawbara, what are you doing here?"
" Well number one we wanted to visit our favorite fox-boy, and number two…well…"
Kuawbara just couldn't find the words to tell the Youko why they were really there, and he had no idea it was about to get much worse. Yuskue decided the carrot-toped boy was beating around the bush a little two much.
" We wanted to see how you were feelin Kurama, you haven't looked to good lately"
It was true, since Hiei had left, the fox had lost weight and stopped training, slowly taking away his well toned appearance, and what's worse was that the bright red color of his hair had faded to a dull red. Overall the Youko looked really lousy.
" I'm feeling," Kurama's voice softened, " Just fine I suppose…"
" WELL I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT! For a while we were worried about you, but wow were we silly."
Kuawbara couldn't even tell that the fox was lying, and just as Yuskue was about to bring that up their favorite grim-reaper popped up in front of them.
" Howdy guys! Lucky I caught you all at once, gives me more time to get ready, hehe!"
" Get ready for what?"
" Well Yuskue I suppose you'll have to read and find out won't ya?"
At this time she pulled three envelopes out of her bright pink kimono, handing one to Yuskue, one to Kuawbara, but she just couldn't bring herself to hand Kurama his. She started to place it back in her outfit when Kurama's hand reached out and grabbed it.
The silver Youko was about to open it when Botan's voice stopped him.
" Kurama, um, why don't I take that, no need for you to…to…exert yourself."
" Botan, it's a piece of paper, how stressful can it be?"
With that being said, he slit open the top of the envelope and began to read the words written there…
Dear Kurama,
You are cordially invited to the wedding of: Hiei and Mukuro, one day from the time you will receive this letter. We hope that you can attend; the location will be at our palace.
See you soon,
Hiei and Mukuro
At the bottom of his letter was something that was clearly hand written by Hiei, due to its sloppy nature.
Fox, I couldn't have done this without youHiei
Just like him, short and to the point…wait a second…
Kurama re-read the above letter and slowly it started to sink in…Hiei was getting married, and not to him. As this realization hit him, his face paled and the letter slowly slid out of his hand and onto the ground. His long hair fell over his delicate features as he placed his hands on his face.
After watching Kurama react in such a way Yuskue and Kuawbara tore open their letters, and after reading them they slowly looked over at the somber ridden Youko.
The detective was the first to react by placing his hand on the demon's shoulder.
" Kurama, are you all right?"
Without removing his hands the fox replied that he was just fine, this time not fooling anyone.
" I suppose that…we should get ready."
" Come on, we all know your not "just fine", now what's up?"
Hiei stood, looking at himself in the mirror. He could hardly believe that his bride to be had forced him to ware a tux. She had originally wanted him to ware white, but there was no way in the three worlds that he would ever agree to such a thing, so after a long battle over it, the bionic woman agreed to let him ware black.
After looking himself over once or twice he wondered about what Kurama would say when he saw the fire demon in something other than a black tank top and…5 or 6 belts. As his thoughts drifted to the silver fox, the sick feeling from two months early slowly returned.
" What in the world…I thought I was over this…"
About this time one of his servants came into the room announcing to him that the wedding was to begin in twenty minutes and he should proceed to the outdoor chapel. The Koorome became so nervous about the wedding that he totally forgot about the Youko and the feeling subsided.
Taking one last look at himself Hiei followed the servant out of the room.
Well its now or never I suppose…
" Kurama you really don't have to do this if you don't want to."
" Let's try to be realistic here Yuskue, do you honestly think I'd miss my best friends wedding?"
The day before the fox had told the spirit detective and his friends how he felt about Hiei, including what had happened to cause the Forbidden Child's disappearance two months earlier.
Now Kurama, Yuskue, and Kuawbara stood out side of Mukuro's palace preparing them selves for the wedding of the century. They were all dressed in their Sunday best but the Youko looked the most stunning. He had taken special care to make his hair shine in all its brilliance, now its cascaded over his shoulders perfectly framing his face. The traditional Japanese clothing he wore was a light cream color, embroidered with pearls and lined with gold. Because of its light coloring his bright green eyes looked like gems wrapped in a blood red covering truly being his hair. Never in Yuskue or Kuawbara's life had they ever seen anything with such beauty.
" You know what? I don't think I could take it if someone was going to marry Yukina and she had no idea how I felt. You got some guts showin up."
All the Kitsune could do was chuckle…if they only knew how much it hurt him to be there, in all his years no one had ever resisted the great Youko Kurama, and now it was happening before his very eyes.
Kuawbara then started staring off into space…not blinking… much like Yuskue normally does, when he snapped into reality, a light bulb shooting up over his head.
" Well would ya take a look at that! Every one waiting out here has gone to the court yard, if you want to know my opinion I think the wedding is about to start…"
" Well thank you Captain Obvious…"
A big sweat drop slid down the fighter's face at Yuskue's comment…
" That was really old…and not very nice."
The spirit detective only shrugged his shoulders and preceded to walk towards the courtyard, being closely followed by Kuawbara, Kurama however stayed where he was at, thinking to himself.
I've got to do something, but what…I refuse to loose Hiei to her.
The Youko in him wanted to crash the whole thing and take the little fire demon away, but his human side couldn't imagine ruining such a happy occasion in that fashion, he needed to be more tack full.
Then it hit him…
Of course why didn't I think of that before? It's so simple I'll just…
" Yo Kurama, you commin?"
" I think I'll stay here for a few minutes Yuskue, you both go on, I'll be right there."
" Sure thing."
Yuskue waved his hand to the Youko and walked out of sight leaving the silver fox all alone.
The wedding was well in progress and there was absolutely no sign of the reincarnated Youko. Hiei was standing taking his vows and could tell his best friend was not present. This fact disturbed him, how could one of the only people he trusted treat him this way? And on top of that it was very un-Kurama-like not to show.
Yuskue and Kuawbara were also pondering Kurama's disiperiance.
" Do you think we should go look for him?"
" Urimeshi we're in the middle of a wedding ya can't just walk out."
" I don't think the little guy will mind if we go to look for him, this is an important matter."
" The shrimp is getting hitched, this is way more important than Kurama…he's like what, 300 years old? I think he can take care of himself."
" But what if he had a breakdown and couldn't take—"
" SSSSSSHHHHHH!"
One of the other guests sitting near them cut the conversation short by spraying spit all over them both in one clean shhhhhh.
"Uh, that was soo sick…demon slobber."
Kuawbara then hit the teen in the arm letting him know that they were at the most important part of the ceremony.
The priest held out his hands and spoke to the attendance.
" Is there anyone here who feels that these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your piece."
Not a sound was heard in the facility, all that could be heard was the guests' quiet breathing. After a few seconds the priest took a deep breath to speak his next sentence. But before he could speak…
" I object…"
The deep alto thundered through the wedding and a great amount of demonic energy swirled around it. All eyes turned to the back of the room to see the doors swing open and allow a vast amount of thick white smoke to enter the area.
By this time Moroku had her hand on her hips wondering who would dare to interrupt her wedding.
As the smoke cleared the outline of a creature shone through. The long white garments flowed lightly in the disappearing wind, rustling the long silver hair that fell down past the creature's waist.
Gasps were heard through out the hall as the guest realized who was standing among them. The great Youko Kurama stood still looking the shorter man ahead of him dead in the eyes. They stayed locked this way for what seemed like an eternity, no one dared to speak in the thief's presence. That is until the bionic woman started to tap her heel against the floor.
" Well let's get on with it shall we, can we just skip to the I Do's."
" I'm sorry mam' but I can not proceed with the wedding until this has been sorted out. We shall postpone the rest of the ceremony until tomorrow, but first I would like to here from the Youko as to why he objects."
"WHAT! You can't just postpone my wedding, this was for ME, I will not allow this, this low class demon to interrupt."
" I don't think I was speaking to you mam'. Now Youko I need an answer."
At the end of the priest's sentence Youko Kurama slowly melted into his human form, letting this hair fall around his shoulders. The gold on his outfit shone in the light…my was he something. But those green gems were troubled. The demon wanted to tell everyone right then and there that he was in love with Hiei, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. They needed some time alone.
His eyes began to shine with a look that Botan had seen once earlier in Kurama's room. Pure determination fired behind his eyes and he looked straight at the priest.
" I don't think that I shall share that information with you,"
Then he looked to the perplexed fire demon (who was beginning to feel sick again),
" Not before I have some time with the Jaganshi."
Finally he looked towards the would-be -bride, " and we shall have no interruptions of any kind."
With that he took the Koorome by the arm and began to walk out of the courtyard. As they walked down the isle the kistunes keen hearing picked up Muroku's unhappy snort…a smile crossed his face as he once again spoke to her…
" And I don't appreciate being called a "low" class demon… its truly not fitting now is it?"
Hiei was sitting on his bed being looked over by a certain Kitsune. The Jaganshi's legs were crossed and his arms lay in his lap, the Youko had made him change from his wedding attire into something he was more familiar with.
Now the fox was running his eyes all over Hiei's body carefully avoiding the red orbs.
What in the world is he looking at so closely?
" You haven't changed a bit, u know that."
It was more of a statement than a question…
" Hn."
Kurama decoded that Hn to mean…. Why did u say something stupid like that?
" I mean, you have the same bad attitude, same spiky black hair, same white belts…I still don't know why you have that many, and your still short."
"Oh shut up"
" Hiei that was a compliment… I like all of those things, and I've missed them a great deal these past two months."
The half Koormie looked like he had been hit with a wet fish, a big sloppy trout. Why in the world was that fox talking like this? He must have lost his mind…
" You friendship means a lot to me Hiei…"
" Yeah? Then would you mind telling me why you practically ruined my wedding?"
" You can't honestly say that you love that Bionic demon can you?"
Now Hiei knew that the Youko was insane…wasn't he the one that allowed the fire demon to realize he was in love? He knew it happened two months ago, but his memory isn't that bad.
" Stupid Kitsune, are you that mental? Ouch that hurt You were the one who sent me after her."
Ah ha! Now they were getting to the good stuff, Kurama could finally clear things up with his fire baby.
" She wasn't who I was talking about."
Youko: well there we go. Its nowhere near finished but I'll try to update as soon as possible. I LOVE comments and criticism…as long as there's no yaoi dissin…I warned you before you read it….
