Rating: It's not too high in this chapter, probably about a PG-13, hopefully higher in chapters to come

Note: Sorry this is taking so long, I've been having issues with a trip I'm taking in less than a week, and I am still not ready... Arg, so this was sort of just thrown together over the nights right before I go to bed, so if there are things that don't make sense, I'm sorry, I just got out of work and had to deal with an hour and a half worth of traffic.

I want to say thank you to everyone who reviewed, I'm glad that you all like this enough to leave a note!

To kitty-inuyasha, I want to apologize, because I would love to read your story, but I have this serious illness where I can't read anything with OC characters. You could have the best story ever written, but I won't be able to read it. I'm not joking either, which is a little frightening, but I just can't deal with anything where Hiei and Kurama do not end up together my brain doesn't comprehend it all... which is why all of my stories are so lovey-dovey and focused on them. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for being unable to fulfill such a simple request. Seriously, I'm mentally ill...

And to Inu.Rox: You know where this is going? 'Cause seriously I just sit in front of my laptop at around midnight and type until I passout. I'm only half a chapter ahead of where I have currently posted, and that's still in progress right now.


Chapter 5: Desires

Primal urge, the strongest desire that pulsed though his veins like liquid fire keeping him alive. That was the best explanation that Hiei could think of as his craving to be with the silver fox took over him almost every night and had him traveling back to that clearing in the forest to be completely fawned over by the tall, sensual demon. The long hair was more like pure silk that spilled between his callused fingers.

"What's so funny?" Hiei quirked a brow as the fox leaning against his chest and between his legs began to chuckle softly.

"You. You really love my hair, don't you?" the ears atop his head began to twitch when the wind picked up.

"Why do you say that?"

"You haven't stopped playing with my hair since you arrived, and you've done it for the past three nights in a row," the fox turned in the other's loose embrace to meet the reddish-brown stare.

"Is that a problem?"

"No, I love it, actually," his eyes suddenly dropped to look over Hiei's thin lips, "Hm, can I kiss you now?"

"Hn," Hiei smirked. It had been over a week, and the fox had yet to really kiss him, asking every night, but with no answer, he seemed to hold himself back.

Kurama climbed up Hiei's body so their noses were touching, "Is that a 'yes' or a 'no'?"

Smugly, Hiei kissed the fox's forehead, "That's a maybe."

"Oh, that's it, you little minx," Kurama growled playfully, "I grow tired of your games. I have wished to kiss you ever since our innocent little kiss good bye."

His smirk grew even larger, "Hn." That kiss had been far from innocent as he recalled the location of those very large hands.

"I'm not waiting any longer for you, you evil tease," Kurama warned before he captured Hiei in an intense and amazing kiss.

The human felt his stomach tighten with arousal as he felt Youko's tongue slip into his mouth and he was pressed against the tree even more. He was actually a little uncomfortable to be the one pinned down with such a strong force.

"Hiei," Kurama mumbled around their kiss, "relax."

"N…" he forced his body to still.

"Ugh," the fox eared man sighed as he pulled away, "let's stop this for today. I shouldn't have forced it on you."

"You didn't force it," Hiei sighed.

"You're still uncomfortable with it," Youko ran a hand through the spiky hair.

"You've known me all this time. I've just never… really kissed anyone. It's a… new experience."

"Hm, really? I got your first kiss?"

"You got that when I was younger," Hiei corrected.

"Hm, I did, didn't I?" he chuckled low in his throat.

Hiei smirked up at the loving fox, and he felt a pang of guilt as he recalled the same smile on Shuuichi's lips every now and then. He shouldn't feel guilty seeing as to how there was nothing really going on between them, but… he was still in love with his best friend.

"What's wrong, love?" Youko nipped playfully at Hiei's ear.

"It's nothing."

"You're lying."

"I am."

"Hm, you're not going to tell me, are you?"

"No, not yet," he slightly pulled away from the warm lips, and the fox took the signal to back off, and the two said their goodbyes for the evening.


Nightmares plagued him for the next week as Hiei became more and more attached to Kurama after their nightly visits, doing nothing more than innocent hugging and not so innocent petting. It felt so right when he was in the fox's arms, leaning against his chest. The Youko would whisper sweetly into his ear and they would talk about whatever Kurama could come up with. Other than all the physical contact, it was more or less like being with Shuuichi. The conversation was a bit more difficult since it was hard to think of what to talk about with a demon, but the fox was quite good with words and if they couldn't think of anything to talk about they made out.

Two more weeks passed with Hiei's relationship with Youko growing stronger with heavy moments of making out, and a lot of instances that consisted of the fox's hands groping Hiei's ass.

"Mm…Shuuichi…" Hiei mumbled against the full, hot lips and gasped at the realization of what he had just said.

Kurama pulled back with a gorgeous smile, "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing," maybe he hadn't said anything wrong, but he noticed more determination in the way Kurama's tongue moved against his between their mouths.

"Are you hungry, love?" the Youko nipped down Hiei's jaw, his fangs barely scraping the lightly tanned skin, which sent odd shocks through his body. He ignored the fact that it felt both pleasurable and not right.

"A little," his eyes fluttered closed when a large palm started groping at his stomach.

"Here," his free hand held up a strawberry to the slightly parted lips.

"Mm," he took the fruit, which was soon joined by that warm tongue yet again.

"Beautiful," Kurama murmured sweetly.

Hiei opened his eyes to stare into the most exotic golden eyes he had ever seen… not that he had ever seen golden eyes before…

"Where are you getting these?" Hiei asked as he sat up. He suddenly felt too flustered to continue with their play.

"I made them," he nodded to the small plant with large ripe strawberries already growing on them, "I can make you other fruit too… as long as I have the seed. Strawberries are just the lightest of the seeds and a lot easier to eat than oranges."

"How about an apple?"

"What kind?"

"Golden delicious," he smirked meeting those gorgeous eyes.

"Hm," nimble fingers ran through the silver mass before pulling out a small seed and blowing on it lightly so it fell a few feet away from where the two laid out on the soft grass.

The tiniest tremor shook the ground as the apple tree shot up with amazing speed. The fox stood, his fluffy, silver tail swaying as he reached out for a beautiful apple the Greek gods would have given anything to be given as an offering. Kneeling beside the small teen, Kurama picked up a blade of grass and used it as if it were a knife to cut off a piece of the apple.

"Here, love."

Hiei stared at the grass in Kurama's hand, which instantly went slack as he tried to reach for it and blew away in the light wind.

"You don't want the apple?"

"H-how?"

"I am the keeper of this forest, I have a natural control over plants. That reminds me. You trust me, right?"

"I don't know when you ask it that way, why?"

"I grew something for your sister," he placed a small bag in Hiei's hands.

"How do you know about her?"

"I've watched you two play… I've seen the signs of illness creeping up since she was little. I'm afraid that that might be my fault."

"What do you mean by that?" Hiei nearly growled, about ready to throttle the fox.

"It was probably her exposure to my plants that did it. I had demon plants growing all around here, but no one else ever saw them. I had to destroy them all when I saw that she was getting sick. I felt horrible," his silver ears fell flat against the top of his head, almost making him look human if not for the odd coloring of his hair and eyes.

"My lord," a dark voice was followed by the soft fluttering of leaves. The sounds were barely audible, but the Youko's actions were instant as he tensed up, glaring in the direction of dark shadows.

"What are you doing here? I told you not to come here when I was with my love," Youko growled low in his throat, and Hiei felt something surge through his entire body. He couldn't figure out what it was, but it definitely had something to do with the fox and the anger he was feeling towards the man in the shadows.

"He is not accepting you very well."

"He will."

"This is taking too long, and he obviously does not trust you."

"Leave, now. You are forgetting your place," Kurama snarled at the darkness.

"You forget how I arrived in this position of my own free will," the frightening tone returned.

"I warned you when you took this position that you had no hope."

"Kurama?" Hiei stood behind the other.

"It's nothing, my love. This crow asked to be my servant in hopes of becoming my mate, but as I told him, I had no intention of taking such a pathetic creature as my lover."

Hiei remained silent as he looked over what was going on between the Youko and the unseen man. The argument continued for a few more minutes before the shadow man left and Kurama calmed down again.

"I'm sorry about that, it wasted much of our precious time together. You should be heading home and get some sleep," he leaned in slowly, giving Hiei fair warning as to his intentions, but the boy didn't back away as he half expected this time after the fight, and he stole as soft kiss, "Good night, beloved."

"Good night," he nodded and headed through the forest, and didn't arrive home until almost four in the morning.


Hiei learned more and more about the fox every night. He actually hated leaving him to get sleep because he didn't like the thought of the fox being alone, but it was only during the day that he was able to see Shuuichi.

"Good morning, Hiei," the soft alto slowly roused the spiky haired teen from his few precious hours of sleep.

"Hn," he sat up slowly, stretching somberly.

"Sorry, Hiei, no time for this, we're running late," the redhead yawned stiffly.

"Shuuichi?"

"Hm?" tired emerald eyes glanced down at Hiei.

"What kept you up all night? I've never seen you like this."

Another yawn escaped before he mumbled something about getting too into a book that he hadn't noticed the time until it was almost three in the morning.

"Always the nerd."

Shuuichi just smiled, helping Hiei pull a shirt over his dark hair, and even going so far as to help him into his pants.

"Um… I can get that," he got to the zipper before his friend could. He was lucky not to have woken with a morning erection, he didn't need Shuuichi creating one for him now.

"Ah, yes, sorry," he bit his lower lip and felt his cheeks start to flare.

"Whatever…"


He wasn't sure what it was, but there was definitely something different about Hiei's best friend today. When they were alone, Shuuichi seemed to find any of the tiniest reasons to touch him or accidentally brush up against him. When they were with friends, Shuuichi seemed to try to surreptitiously get them alone once again. Somehow, Shuuichi had convinced him to go to the greenery with him to see about the new plants for the oncoming warm seasons.

"You like the warm weather, don't you? So all of your plants can thrive."

"That's not necessarily true," Shuuichi corrected, "If properly taken care of, many plants can survive the harsh cold."

"Like ever greens?" Hiei raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, not necessarily quite as well as others, but there are plants that can go into hibernation on their own and survive to winters. They're very resourceful plants."

"And now I think that you're even crazier than when we were little and I would find you talking to the flowers."

"Oh, be quite," Shuuichi rolled his eyes as he reached for a small potted flower, "Oops, sorry… Oh, hello, Karasu, how are you today?"

"Much better now that I can see your lovely face," the tall, raven haired male smiled down at Shuuichi, he leaned down ever so slightly so his coal black hair spilled over his shoulders.

"Karasu," the redhead stated warningly as he pulled his hand away from the plant that the two of them had both reached for.

Hiei glared at the pale man, something about him just wasn't right… he recognized him from somewhere, but he couldn't seem to put his finger on it. All he needed to know right now was that this man was obviously trying to flirt with his best friend… his crush! No way was he letting the sleazy, creepy looking man lay another finger on his beloved.

"Shuuichi, we should be going soon. We told Yusuke and the others we'd meet them for the 6 o'clock movie."

"Oh, right, sorry, Karasu. I'll talk to you later, okay? Bye," he walked off quickly following his friend.

"Who was that?" Hiei tried to keep his furry in check, but was failing miserably.

"Just someone who is also a lover of plants," Shuuichi smiled sweetly, "Don't worry Hiei, I told you, if I were to get a boyfriend you'd be the first to know. Promise."

"Hn."

"Now then, about that movie…"


"How the hell did you talk me into another of your damn sappy romance movies?" Hiei snarled as they exited the theater.

"Easy, I paid," Shuuichi chuckled, and the two fell into their normal banter after seeing one of Shuuichi's choices in movies and what a good movie should actually consist of.

"Where are we going?" the redhead raised an eyebrow as he realized they weren't heading toward Hiei's house.

"It's getting dark. I'd feel better if I walked you home first."

"Oh, Hiei," Shuuichi put on a thick female country accent, "I do declare."

"Idiot," he rolled his eyes.

"So," the redhead stood on his front stoop, "you've walked me home. Now, what?"

"Aren't you supposed to invite me in?" Hiei smirked. Shuuichi was truly weird sometimes.

"Oh, Hiei, you're moving awfully fast, don't you think? I mean it's only our first date," the redhead chuckled before reaching for his keys.

"Are you okay?" Hiei dropped their act as he saw Shuuichi's pale hands almost convulsing as they tried to open the door.

"Yes, I'm fine," but his hands were pulled between Hiei's smaller, rough hands.

"Why are you shaking?" he ran callused thumbs over the nervous fingers clenching the set of keys.

"No reason."

"You just had the urge to start shaking?" Hiei scoffed.

"It's nothing, really."

"Hn," Hiei let the hands fall from his grasp as he looked up to study the other's large emerald eyes, "You look exhausted."

"Yes, I didn't get that much sleep last night, trying to finish that book and all."

He didn't really believe what he was being told, but he wasn't going outright call his best friend a liar. "You go straight to bed," he commanded.

"I could say the same about you," Shuuichi quipped, "Hey, um, my mother is actually out of town for the night, would you like to stay over for dinner?"

"I thought you said I was moving too fast," Hiei smirked.

"Well, maybe I'm just easy," the redhead laughed as he opened the door.

"Are you?"

The two had known each other for almost a decade, and Hiei honestly had no idea about his friend's sex life.

"Hiei, if I had a boyfriend, you'd be the first to know. Are you staying over?"

"…" it wasn't a hard decision, it's just that Shuuichi had never invited him to dinner… he had no idea what happened to his friend after the sun set, "Let me call Ruri and Yukina."

"Of course."

"What would you like to eat?"

"I'll eat anything."

"Is lasagna and a salad okay?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Okay, I'll get the lasagna ready, and you're good with a knife so you can take care of the salad."

"The lasagna's already made isn't it?"

"No, of course it isn't… it's frozen."

Hiei shook his head, a small smile on his lips, "Jerk."

Dinner was delicious, spent before the television, watching the evening news. Hiei took a deep breath as the realization that he would have to be leaving soon.

"Mm, that was good," Shuuichi stretched, "it's really late, shouldn't you be heading home?"

"Kicking me out so early?"

"Hey, I'm not really easy, you know," he laughed, shoving Hiei off the couch, "I'm sure your family is wondering where you are."

"Hn," Hiei huffed, "I'll be going then."

"I'll see you later then, okay?" Shuuichi followed his friend to the front door.

"Right," he shoved his shoes on, and slid into his jacket.

"Looks like it will be a full moon soon," Kurama leaned in the doorway, his arms crossed over his chest, emerald eyes gazing at the large, beautiful moon.

"Hn," Hiei nodded.

"Hey, Hiei, if you can get here on time I promise to make breakfast for you tomorrow."

"What time?"

"Hm… I'll make it easy for you… 9."

"That's easy?"

"Yes, so get here on time so we can work on your project," he almost literally pushed the short boy out the door, his eyes constantly wandering up to the pale moonlight.


TBC...

Let me know what you all think, and just a warning, it will be at least a week before I can get another chapter up for this story, so I shall appologize ahead of time. Sorry!
