Warning: Yaoi! Yay, Yaoi!

Author's note: Thank you for all the reviews, sorry this took so long. I started school a while ago, and things just got hectic and I could never seem to really write.


Chapter 12: Promises and Changes (aka The chapter that refused to be written)
"You're a fucking idiot!" Hiei snarled from his position resting on Kurama's shoulder as the very happy but scolded fox made the way back to their meeting spot with Botan, "What the hell did you think you were doing?"

"Sorry, Love, I've been celibate for almost two decades, okay? I got a little over zealous."

"I noticed," the young teen growled.

"You just make me that horny. At least I didn't put it in, I was just preparing you a little."

"Never 'prepare' me again," he growled.

"If you say so," he smirked as they made the last few steps through the portal and back into the Ningenkai.

"Oh my, are you okay?" Botan looked up at the teen on Kurama's back.

"He's fine," Kurama smiled, and pulled a gold bracelet decorated with small pink gems from his sheer garments.

"Ooh!" the girl squealed as she accepted the gift.

"Matches your eyes perfectly."

"Really? You think so?" she turned to Hiei for his approval, but he just looked at her confused.

"What do you want, woman?"

"Your opinion."

"I don't give a shit about jewelry."

"Yeah, I'm sure that you picked that necklace out for Shuuichi without thinking about how it went with his eyes."

"…It looks good," he muttered out, feeling his face start to burn before he slapped at the back he was resting on, "Hey! What do you think you are doing?"

"Sorry," Kurama giggled moving his hands away from the teen's ass, "I thought you might be slipping."

"Stupid horny demon," he muttered.

"I didn't hear any complaints when-"

Hiei's hand clamped over his mouth, "That's enough out of you, fox. It's time to go home."

Youko chuckled, pulling the hand away from his mouth, "We'll see you at school on Monday."

"Okay, good night, boys," the blue haired girl waved to them as she seated herself on her oar, and flew off.

Kurama almost fell to his knees coughing.

"Shit, you're still sick, you idiot," Hiei pushed away from Kurama's back and stood in front of him even though he still felt awkward.

"I'll be fine. I can make more of the tea when we get to my house."

"Hn," Hiei flattened his hand against Kurama's warm chest, rubbing him in slow circles, "Should we walk home?"

"No, it'll be easier if I run. Hold on tight, okay?"

Hiei buried his face in the crook of Kurama's neck, letting his lover carry him home.

When they arrived in his bedroom, Hiei sat on the bed and watched in interest as Kurama followed the list that Genkai had given him, and pulled a few plants out. The plants twisted a little as Kurama held his hand out over them and some began to flower while others grew taller, ripe with bright green or gold leaves.

"What are they?" he looked over leaves Kurama was gathering.

"This," he held up a simple single point leaf that had come from a small potted plant with red fruit, "is ginseng. I'm sure you know about it… this one," he picked up a long stem with purple flowers, "is hyssop, it's generally used for common colds and throat ailments… These are a few plants from the Makai, but they're similar to things that they use in the asprin."

"Do you know this one?" the redhead pulled his favorite flower from his hair.

"Rose? Is that really good for a cold?"

"Actually this one's pretty good for vitamin E which is good for the skin, but it's also good when romancing a lover," he rolled the stem between his fingers, making the rose twirl in a dance, "No thorns, I promise."

Hiei huffed, rather embarrassed to be receiving flowers from his boyfriend.

Leaving a kiss on Hiei's forehead, Kurama went to make a tea out of the ingredients.

Looking about the room, Hiei continued to twirl the rose between his thumb and forefinger. His room was nothing like Hiei's, for one, you could see the floor. The next noticeable things were the books and notebooks on the neat desk. He noticed a photograph in a silver frame, and walked closer to see the large photograph of himself with the redhead standing behind him when they had had a class visit to the mountains, he didn't really recall the trip other than Kurama insisting on teaching Hiei about every plant life that they passed. They hadn't been dating then, but he never thought twice about the possessive arm that Kurama had put around him, thinking it more to be out of fear that he might fall off the wall.

Picking up the frame, he noticed something that had fallen out from behind, a sketching of some sort...

It looked almost like Karasu, but the handsome man had large pointed ears, and a set of bat wings protruding from his back... "Kuronue?"

"Yes... that's him..." Kurama had a sad smile on his lips.

"Hn... you're very good... Why haven't I seen any of your drawings before?"

"Because... there are only two things that I've ever drawn well..."

"Kuronue and roses?" he asked, pretending not to care that his boyfriend was still hooked on a dead demon.

Kurama chuckled softly, "No..."

"Hn?"

The redhead sat the tea on the desk to steep as he opened up a drawer, and pulled out a few sheets of paper to hand to Hiei.

"Me?"

This time it was a shy smile.

"Why am I sleeping in all of these pictures?"

"Because that's when you're the most defenseless and adorable," he laughed, and took the sketches back and put them in his drawer again and picked up his tea.


It was Saturday morning and Hiei was glaring at the amused but apologetic redhead, "I don't like you anymore."

"Oh, come on, Hiei, admit it, you love me no matter what."

"Hn," he pulled the blankets up and about him tighter and rolled away from the demon.

"How was I supposed to know that you could catch my cold? I'm just glad it's nothing more than a cold on you. I would assume that a demon virus would be deadly to... never mind," he smiled sweetly, kissing Hiei on the forehead, "Hm... I'd say 99.6"

"How do you know that?" he was rather surprised by the teen's astounding lips.

"I took your temperature earlier, silly," he held up the thermometer that had been inserted into Hiei's ear, "Now, you get comfy. I promised to take good care of you today while your aunt is out with her boyfriend and your sister is being tutored at school."


Time passed and the loving couple was once again seated in their usual place in the dark forest. The moon was high and full in its glory, it had been a few months since the two had managed to at least get to third base in the Makai, and Kurama had been dancing around a subject that Hiei had no real concept of. The silver fox nuzzled into Hiei's neck, licking and the soft skin.

"Can you believe it, Hiei? A full year..." the silver fox purred contently with his boyfriend at his side under one of his larger lamp weeds.

"Hn," Hiei shrugged as he picked up the Chinese food they had picked up and was still having difficulty with the chopsticks since Kurama had refused to let him ask for forks and spoons.

"Come on, you aren't excited?"

"Not really," he huffed, deciding to shovel the food into his mouth straight from the carton.

"Hiei! This a romantic moment, and you're going to eat like a slob?"

"If I don't eat like a slob, I won't be able to eat," he growled. He was getting annoyed with Kurama's odd nature that night, at school the redhead was clinging to him at every moment, and although he loved the feel of Kurama against him, it was rather embarrassing with Yukina back at school and watching them with a small smile, "Look, Kurama, you've known me for a long time. I just don't care about romance."

"Yes you do."

"When?"

"When it's just you and me..." he took the carton from Hiei's hand, and tried not to sound too annoyed, "With no food between us."

"Ch'."

"Hiei," he purred, begging for the other's attentions.

"What?" he tried not to growl. He truly loved Kurama, he knew that, but right now he was really hungry... "What are you doing?" Hiei finally asked, although Kurama was always overly affectionate, it was new to him to have the fox so focused on his neck, licking and nipping at him.

"Will you allow me to mark you?" his breath was hot against Hiei's next.

"Mark me?" he looked up to see the silver demon leaning over him, his fangs only a little longer than normal, but still enough to tell Hiei what his plans were for this 'marking'.

"Please," he ran his cold nose over the joining of Hiei's shoulder and neck, "It will only hurt a little."

"What are you going to do?"

"I sink my teeth into this sweet little neck of yours, which marks you as my mate. Mine alone," he purred, recalling the feel of Hiei's body against his own.

"…Yes…" he could never say no to the beautiful fox nuzzling at his skin, lovingly.

"I love you so much Hiei," Kurama stated before sinking his teeth into the other's neck.

It didn't hurt at all is what surprised Hiei the most, at least not at first…

"Ah!" a searing headache laced through his forehead as Kurama finished lapping at the little blood from his lover's neck.

"Hiei? What's wrong?"

"My head!" his hands covered the front of his face as slit formed on his forehead.

"Let me see!" Kurama looked so frightened as he saw blood pouring from the wound, "Oh… Inari!"

"What's going on?" he gritted out, having trouble opening his eyes with the blood getting in them.

"I- I don't know. I never thought that anything like this would happen," Shuuichi appeared and held Hiei's hands tightly to keep him from hurting himself further as the rest of his body started to spasm and arch with pain filling his every sense.

"Kurama!" his face twisted as he bared his teeth and he contorted against Kurama's body, who was holding him as close as possible to his chest. He was striving hard just to remain conscious. His vision was consisting mostly of black splotches than of the beauty that he knew somewhere in the back of his pain fogged brain

"I'm here, love, I'm so sorry, I don't know what's going on."

After almost ten minutes of agonizing pain, Hiei started to calm down and the pain lessened dramatically.

Shuuichi sat back on his heels as he studied Hiei's forehead, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe at the blood covering his beloved's forehead, "I didn't know it was possible."

"What…" he tried to control his ragged breathing, "what happened?"

"… Did… did you know that you have demon in your blood?"

"What?"

"You have a Jagan… a third eye," emerald eyes

"I'm… a demon?"

"Well… you're a descendant of a demon. You still have demon blood in you."

"I don't understand."

"Thousands of years ago, there was no barrier between the human and the demon world. An outbreak between the worlds caused the spirit world to separate us, but a few demons decided that they preferred the peaceful life of a human than trying to survive with other demons. As time passed most demons mated with humans, creating children with less and less demon blood. I'm sure there are many people with a small amount of demon's blood running through their veins. I must have triggered yours when I claimed you."

"What does this mean?"

"That you'll be wearing a lot more bandanas," he traced a light finger around the glowing eye, which sent a shiver down Hiei's body, "Sorry, did that hurt?"

"No," he breathed out unsteadily, "it felt…"

Needing no more words, Kurama leaned closer to place soft lips on the corner of the Jagan.

A low, throaty growl was emitted from Hiei's throat.

"I'm going to take that as a good sign," Kurama smirked.

"…Yes…" he managed to drawl out, staring unseeingly at those lush lips.

"Hm… we better leave… We'll visit Genkai tomorrow."

"What about… this thing?" Hiei's eyes nearly crossed as he tried look up at the third eye now adorning his head. It felt… oddly comfortable there, as if was supposed to be there the entire time.

"You're so hot," Kurama pulled a hand that had been pressed against Hiei's cheek.

"You say that every time."

"No, Hiei, I mean that you're skin… it's almost burning. I feel that I'm almost touching fire…" Kurama continued brushing his fingers lightly over his lover's face.

"I don't feel any warmer."

"You wouldn't."

"What's going on?"

"For one… you can get out of school without even having to trick the thermometer again."

"I only did that… five times…"

"A month," Shuuichi snickered.

"Hn," Hiei grinned, placing a soft kiss on Kurama's lips.

"So warm," he cuddled closer to the other demon.

"Does this mean that I will live forever?"

Shuuichi laughed, "No, but your life expectancy is much longer, I assume."

"So… we'll be together for all that time?" Hiei asked hopefully.

"Oh, Inari," Kurama sighed out.

"What?" Hiei looked up.

"I think I just fell in love with you all over again," he flung his arms about his lover's shoulders, "Come, you're staying with me tonight."

"I would like to be able to walk tomorrow," Hiei growled.

"Don't worry," he laughed, "I just want to keep you with me to make sure that nothing else happens with you, okay?"

"Yeah, sure," he shrugged, not really believing the horny teen.


"Genkai?" Kurama called out as they entered the temple.

"Your boy-toy's powers have fully woken?"

"You knew?" the redhead looked at the shorter woman blankly with surprise.

"For always having your hands all over him, you don't seem to notice anything about him."

Hiei glared at his mate out of the corner of his eye, "You should have seen this coming?"

Kurama shrugged shyly with a nervous smile, "Oops?"

"Idiot," he shook his head before he turned to Genkai, "Is this permanent?"

"From what I can tell, yes. You're not being sustained by Kurama's energy, it seems that it was the key to unlocking your powers, but you're permanently demon now."

"He's a fire demon, we figure," Kurama noted to Genkai as she continued her examination of the teen.

"Yes, the fact that his body temperature seems to have nearly doubled would be a good sign of that… What I don't like is that it went up when he was angry with you just a moment ago. You're going to have to learn to control yourself or you might set some place on fire because someone pisses you off."

"Oh my… maybe you shouldn't go to school…"

"No, just keep dumb and dumbest away from me," Hiei corrected.
