Youko: Ok…I know its been a while…but I'M BAAAACK!
Hiei: don't we know it….
Kurama: Now Hiei you know shes not bad…. she wrote a pretty good scene with us this chapter….
Hiei: scoff
Youko: Well anyway…this chappie is a tad shorter than all my others…but I really wanted to update so I think its ok…. Now to Kuawbara with the disclaimer…
Genkai: WHAT! You gave away my disclaimer?
Youko: You were being mean to the readers…so yes…Kua have at it!
Kua: Ok she don't own us….not even a little bit…
Youko: Nicely done! Now onto the story!
"Wonder whats taking so long?"
Kuawbara had always been inpatient…and now was no exception.
"Well its obvious that you haven't had a romantic relationship before…"
"WHA?"
"I'm right aren't I?"
The spirit detective grinned evilly as the carrot top just starred at Yuskue with wide eyes. Of course he'd had a romantic relationship before…riiight.
" They have things they need to sort out, it takes time. That's something you apparently have no conception of."
"What is this…pick on Kuawbara day?"
The old woman just continued to stare out the window as she helped her self to another cup of tea.
"Well anyway…I don't see what that has to do with anything."
As the teenager spoke he crossed his arms defiantly.
"Could you try not to be stupid for two seconds…or would that kill you?"
Never missing the chance to aggravate her younger sibling, Suziru had stridden in from the kitchen with her witty retort.
"Awwww, come on sis, it can't possibly take that long to----"
The carrot-top never got to finnish his sentence for Suziru had decided to take it upon herself and slap her younger brother in the back of the head.
Yuskue apparently thought all this was highly entertaining because he promptly started to laugh and… roll around on the floor.
"HEY! That was not funny at all…"
All of Kuawbara's protesting only caused the detective to laugh harder and intern caused the entire group to join in with him. By this point everyone…with the exception of Kuawbara…was flailing on the floor desperately holding their stomachs.
It was warmer than anything Kurama had ever felt in his entire life. It wasn't painful but just the opposite…pleasant. It seemed as if a thousand years of suppressed emotion just poured out and flooded into Kurama's body, engulfing his soul. The fire blazed within him and to the Youko it felt like he was delving into a pool of molten lava. He never wanted this feeling to end, it just felt so…so right.
But not all good things can last forever.
Slowly Hiei untangled his hands from Kurama's fiery locks and began to separate his lips from the Youko's.
Without speaking they both pulled away, the Koorime quietly catching his breath.
"Hiei…"
The name was barely more than a whisper, but it was just enough to capture Hiei's attention. Kurama lifted his had to the fire demon's flushed cheek, locking his emerald orbs to the Jaganshi's almond ones.
Suddenly Hiei's eyes flashed blood red and the Kutsune could feel the sword ripping into his body, stealing his life away. The demon forced himself to look away breathing heavily.
"Kurama?"
Hiei's voice broke the silence surrounding the two demons, causing the Youko's eyes to flash upward.
To the redhead's surprise, the smaller demon's eyes had melted back to their beautiful almond color.
"Fox…are you alright?"
"Yes Hiei, I'm just fine now."
The golden fox flashed Hiei a small smile, causing his heart to melt.
"Kurama can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
Kurama's breath caressed the side of the Jaganshi's face causing a shudder to run though his body, eyes fluttering slightly.
"Honestly fox…how long have you...um…liked me?"
The smaller demon's question caused caused the kitsune to chuckle before he answered.
"If its possible Hiei…I've loved you before I met you."
With that statement the kitsuneleaned forward, resting his hand on Hiei's cheek, placing a delicate kiss on the demon's pale lips.
The smaller demon sighed, and when the kiss broke he softly rested his head on his partner's chest.
During this moment, no words were spoken. The couple just sat in silence, enjoying the feeling that rushed through them.
As they lingered there, their breathing became synchronized and the smaller demons eyes became heavy until he slowly drifted off to sleep.
The golden Youko gazed upon the sleeping figure letting his leafy eyes trace every inch of Hiei's body.
His gaze came to rest upon the Koorime's face…
His child-like features were so soft and his face shone in the darkness of the room.
When he was resting he looked so peaceful, his troubled eyes hidden behind heavy lids. One would find him innocent…
If they didn't know better.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think this moment would be possible…
Kurama thought back through all the times they had spent together as friends and began to fantasize about what their life would be like now that they were more than that.
The kitsune gently ran his fingers through Hiei's dark locks discovering that his hair was surprisingly soft.
The more he caressed Hiei the more he noticed that the smaller demon was beginning to… purr?
Yes, Hiei the Jaganshi, Forbidden child…. was purring…like a little kitten.
The fire demon nuzzled closer to the Kitsune's chest and as he did Kurama rested his head up against the wall and slowly his tired eyes began to close….
"YOO-HOO! KURAMA! HIEI!"
There was a loud banging on the room's door, startling the silver Youko.
The demon let out a disgruntled sigh when he looked down and saw that Hiei had fluttered off.
Suddenly the door flew open and the blinding light from out side shattered the darkness causing the Youko to shield his eyes. The light was so bright that no one noticed the black blur race out of the door.
" Well hey there Red…um…where's Hiei."
Yuskue look around the room with the I'm-really-confused look on his face. No one had seen Hiei leave the room…including Kurama. Sensing that Hiei had not only left the room but left the property as well Kurama stood up with a sigh…
"He's left…"
Running his hands through his fiery locks the kitsune made his way to the doorframe where his friends were standing.
"Did we do something wrong?
"No Kua…you didn't know, it's alright, I should have expected this would happen."
"Expected what?"
"Oh…its nothing really."
As he spoke Kurama subconsciously lifted his hand to his lips, letting his fingers hover over them for a moment. It was a small act but everyone in the hall…with the exception of Yuskue and Kuawbara…saw it and knew what it meant.
With her wise understanding of what was going on Shizuru walked up and clasped Kurama on the shoulder.
"Come boy…you need a drink after that."
Looking slightly shocked that all the girls had discovered what happened in that dark room the teenaged Youko followed the large, giggling group of girls into the kiction.
"Now lets see…should we go with something traditional like Sake….or should we be a little more inventive and try some hard American Vodka?"
Yukina chuckled behind her hand…
"I don't know…. you're the expert in this area."
Smiling Keiko pulled a glass from the cabinet and handed it to Shizuru, where she promptly poured a good amount of Vodka.
"See how ya handle this…"
The older woman practically shoved the glass at Kurama sloshing some of its contents over the side. Nodding the Youko threw back the glass and downed most of the Vodka in one gulp.
Coughing slightly Kurama started to laugh…
"That's some hard stuff…"
"Kurama," Yuskue looked greatly taken aback, "I didn't know you drank…"
"I haven't really since I joined the human world…. but when I was a full Youko…"
Kurama left the sentence open ended so everyone in the room could gather their own opinions. There was a unanimous "ohhh" that rippled through the group as Kurama downed the rest of his glass.
Hiei was atop one of his favorite trees and reflected on what had happened….
We were kissing…fuck. Does this mean I love him?
As the jiganshi thought about how wonderful the kiss felt his hand went up to touch his lips…much like a wonderful red head we all know. Hiei had never been kissed before, well…not like that anyway. The few times Muroku had kissed him she always treated him like a little child.
Thinking of another problem, Hiei remembered how he had abruptly left his wedding over three weeks ago.
I suppose I have to fix this…no way in hell Kurama will….
With that resolve in his mind Hiei flitted off to his ex-fiancée's castle.
Youko: OK that's it for now! I'm gonna try to update real soon since its summer and all.
Hiei: You better…I wanna know that happens with me and the fox….
Youko: Be patient you'll find out…so yeah PLZ! Leave me a review they are mucho loved!
