Where is my happy ending?
Chapter 9
"No dear, everything is fantastic, just fantastic. I can't be any happier than I am right now." She smiled at him with all the happiness in the world; know that her true son is finally happy.
"I love when you smile like that." She said to his wife, giving her a sweet kiss, and then returning his gaze on the newly married couple in the corner.
Hiei and Kurama finally pulled away from each other, and looked straight into the other's eyes. Hiei smiled down at Kurama, and Kurama smiled back. He leaned in and their foreheads touch as they closed their eyes to savour the moment without words.
"Hiei." Kurama called opening his eyes a bit and looking at their position, loving every bit of contact with Hiei.
"Um."Came a content sound beckoning his angel to voice his reason for verbal language.
"We have to go."
"I don't want this to end yet." He said, pulling Kurama close to him. Kurama rested his head in Hiei's shoulder savouring the touch of Hiei.
"Hey boys, it is time to head out if you want a ride home."
They both looked up at the voice which belonged to Shiori and pulled away then looked at each other with the face a child would have when they know they were in trouble.
"Don't worry, it's about time that you two realised each other's feelings." The shocked look they both gave her caused her to laugh. "I am so very happy for the two of you. You both make me so proud, and today was just the perfect day for all of this to happen." She hugged Kurama and then Hiei. "So Hiei, will this mean I'm going to see more of you. You know I would love you to be my son."
"Mother!" Kurama spoke in shock. Here stood Hiei, the desire of his heart, whom, he is not quite certain how Hiei truly feels about him. The kiss and intimate embrace was magical and it spoke volumes, but he would love to hear it from Hiei and not from his own mind, even though his actions said a lot. Life was beginning to get more meaningful.
"It is true dear, I know I know," She put up her hands, "I'm speaking to early in your relationship, but a girl can dream, can she?" She said as she left the new couple alone. She did not know how Kazuya will take this new update in her son's life, but she knew Shu-chan wouldn't mind, especially now since he is building his new life with his new wife. 'It always seems that the younger ones have more tolerance with things like these.' She thought as she walked hand in hand with her husband. Turning around she saw them following, walking closer to each other than usually do. Her heart smiled as she saw her son took Hiei's hands in his, and then turns his face the other direction with a small blush on his face as they continue to walk. She heard Hiei grunted and accepted the hand, giving it a bit of a squeeze causing Kurama to face him with a rare sweet smile.
Before they reached the car, Shiori ran towards her son, while her husband went in to start the car.
"Dear, Kazuya doesn't know and I don't know if you want to tell him before he sees anything. I suggest that while you're around him, just act normal. We may have to exclude him from the picnic; hopefully he'll have to work or something."
"But mother, it doesn't seem right to exclude him. He just gave away his son."
"He didn't lose anything. He gained a daughter, and I can just tell him I want to spent time with my son, and my friend. He always goes out with Shu-chan, so it will be fine. You worry too much."
"Hn." Hiei agreed.
"Do you all want to walk back home, if not, I am ready to go." Said Kazuya from his dark Lexus RX hybrid.
"Sorry anata, we're coming."
"Bye Kaasan, bye tousan." Came Kurama from his house front door.
"Bye." Said Hiei as he took the keys from Kurama to open the door, because the fox was so busy waving to his parents as if he would never see them again, but then again, it was because he was happy.
Inside Hiei flicked on the lights, giving Kurama back the keys, they hands brushed against each other.
"Uh Hiei," he did know if to bring it up, or just go with the flow. Knowing Hiei, he would not want to talk, just act. 'That's not a bad thing because I don't even know how to begin,' Kurama thought.
Hiei stood there waiting for Kurama to get on with what he was trying to say. "Thanks for coming with me today, I really had fun."
"Hn," He paused, "thank you fox for this evening." He said in the most seductive voice Kurama has ever heard, possibly the sexiest in the entire three worlds. He began to step closer to Kurama, watching the fox mouth drop open; eyes widen, and face slowly turning red. Hiei continued, his voice in a low deep, smooth sultry whisper, "thank you for you love, fox, it is returned." He finished by putting his hands to the fox's chin, tipping it up a bit and went in for a kiss. It was short, and sweet. "Good night, fox." With a blink, he was gone, like a dark phantom. Kurama was frozen.
"Unnnn..." He moaned out his contentment, melting as he stared where Hiei once stood. 'I can't wait to go to sleep so tomorrow can come faster.' He sighed, as he made his way up the stairs and into his room. He felt Hiei in his and sighed with a smile.
Hiei was in the shower, just standing under the flow of water, allowing the droplets fall from his hair down his cheeks to his neck. The water caressed every inch of his naked body as he had a flashback about the whole day and wondering when exactly he became Mr. Romantic. It felt so natural, like second nature doing it to Kurama. He smiled as he remembered the reaction he got from their first kiss. It was so passionate but soft, and then this second one was so... so loving and a bit shy. 'I am becoming soft for a fox.' He thought, as he closed the shower. Stepping out, he heated his body as the water evaporated from the surface of his skin. He slipped into his boxers and went under the covers, staring up at the ceiling. 'What are we now?' He thought to himself.
In Kurama's room, he was thinking the same thing. "Are we still friends or lovers? "He asked out loud, walking through the French doors into his balcony. He tightened the robe he wore around him, remembering Hiei's embrace. "I will give up the world, to be held like that again in those strong safe arms." He voiced to the heavens. He walked back into his room, looked the balcony doors and made himself comfortable under the covers. "Good night, my love." He whispered into the dark.
In the other room, a voice spoke out in the dark as in reply, "Good night my fox." Hiei said as sleep took him over.
Kurama was awakened by a loud annoying noise. Wanting to go back to his nice dream, he realised it was the phone.
"uhhhhhhhh." He stretched over to the right side of the bed to grab the phone receiver.
"Moshi-moshi."
"Shuichi, it is time to wake up, it's after ten." Was his mother's voice.
"Mother, good morning. How are you tod..." He was cut off.
"GREAT Shuichi. I am just so happy, where is Hiei?"
'Wow, mother is really excited; I've never heard her like this before.' He thought. "Maybe he is in his room, why?" he asked fully risen from his bed, and walking towards his balcony.
"Oh, alright, so what happened last night, did you confess your undying love to your dark prince, and did he swept you off your feet?"
"Uhh." Kurama was speechless, not for the reason that his mother indeed sounds like a female best friend wanting to know how a hot date was, but by what he saw when he reached his balcony. It was Hiei, with just his black pants, no belts, and his faithful katana, sparring, with sheen of sweat already worked up, glistening on the smooth skin, emphasizing the muscular movement underneath. Hiei noticed Kurama was finally up and was indulging in the view, so he decided not to stop his morning training. It felt good that Kurama took pleasure watching him work out.
"Shuichi, Shuichi, are you there."
"Uh... yes mother sorry, I just... I just saw something wonderful." His voiced died down in the end, as he continued worshipping Hiei's body with his eyes. 'How can he look so good, so early in the morning?'
"Is it Hiei, dear." She giggled.
"How did y... how did you know?" He was shocked that he can be read so easily over the phone, even though it is by his mother.
"I used to stammer like that, when I see your biological father. He was the most beautiful man I ever laid my eyes on. From the first day we meet, until, he... uh.. you know. That love was so strong. Every time I saw him it was as if I was seeing him for the first time and I was falling in love with him over and over again. That's why it took me a long time to move on."
"I'm sorry Kaasan." He said thinking about the father he never really knew, but assumed he was the greatest man to have been able to captured his mother's heart for so long even after his death.
"Don't be dear, this means, you truly love Hiei. That makes me very happy. So what is he doing to make you so speechless?"
"Mother!" He yelled amusingly towards the receiver. That caught Hiei's attention again.
'Hn, so he's talking to his mother.' He thought as he began to meditate.
"If you have to know, he was sparring." He answered in his normal voice knowing Hiei would not hear or eavesdrop on their conversation, well he hoped not.
"Oh, sounds like a sight to behold, ne Shu-chan." She laughed.
Kurama smiled. His mother hasn't called him Shu-chan ever since he was younger. And now it was usually referred to the younger Shu-chan. He was glad that they were so open with each other again. It is as if it was just the two of them again, and he liked it.
"You really like Hiei, don't you Kaasan."
"Of course I do dear, and I hope you don't mess this up. He is a great catch and I give you my blessings on your relationship with Hiei. I am here when you need me, and don't forget it. But I would think you know this already."
"Yes I do, but it is nice hearing it from you, thank you so much Kaasan."
"So when do you want to do the picnic? I spoke to Kazuya and he has a business trip tomorrow, so maybe we can do it then, well if you and Hiei had something else planned, right?" She giggled.
"What would I do with you, mother, tomorrow sounds fine. What about four in the afternoon, so the sun and sand wouldn't be too hot."
"Perfect, dear."
"Great it's a date."
"I hope it will, dear. I will walk with my favourite book to read to occupy myself. I do expect you and my dear Hiei to be occupied as well with each other."
Kurama cheeks burned crimson. "What would I do with you, mother." He answered.
"Well mother I have to go get breakfast ready. It seems as if Hiei is almost done."
"Alright dear, oh can you give Hiei the phone. I want to say hi to him."
"Oh alright, mother, bye, I love you.
"I love you to my dear."
"Hiei." Kurama called from his post on the balcony. "Here."
He looked up just in time to snatch the cordless receiver out of the air.
"Good morning Shiori." He said standing up from where he was mediating, as he picked up his katana. He stood there polishing the katana while conversing.
"Good morning dear, how are you this morning? Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, it was a pleasant night. And you."
"Oh you are such a sweet heart; I had a great night, lots of thanks to you. You've made an old lady very happy."
"I know no old lady, just one vibrant young woman."
"Oh, wow, Hiei, I'm speechless."
"Don't be."
"Well then, I've decided to have the picnic tomorrow, since my dear husband will be out on business."
"Well, I shall see you then."
"I am looking forward to it. Well go now, Shuichi has gone to prepare breakfast."
"Alright, bye Shiori."
"Bye my dear, and thank you."
"Huh, for what?"
"For making Shuichi happy. I haven't seen him so happy in years. It is all because of you."
"It will not last."
That took Shiori by surprise. "What why?"
"Mukuro sent message this morning. I have to leave by the end of the week."
"What so soon? This is not fair; you just have six days with us."
'How do you think I feel? I finally have my fox and I have to leave him behind,' He thought. "I'm sorry Shiori, but we knew it was going to happen."
"Does Shuichi know?"
"I'm not sure when and how to tell him."
"Oh dear, well I do wish you luck with that and we shall make the most of tomorrow then."
"Deal."
"Bye dear."
"Bye Shiori." He took a deep breath and went inside to meet Kurama.
Putting the last plate on the table, he looked up to see Hiei approaching him, clean and sweat free.
"Morning, fox." He said with a smile, resting the phone on the table.
"Good morning Hiei, I assume mother told you?"
"Hn."
There was no talking during the first half of breakfast. "Hiei, I don't think last night was a dream right?"
Hiei looked up at him, with a smirk, "Do you want it to be?"
"If it was, then I don't ever want to wake up." He replied knowing that it wasn't a dream.
"That makes two of us, fox."
"So what are we now?"
"We don't have to have a title fox, the feelings is enough."
"Hm I like that. So do you want to clean up or should I?"
"I'll clean up and you decide where you want to go for your first date."
'Huh, really, this must me a dream' "really, we're going on a date?"
"It is custom fox. Now go get ready before I change my mind."
Walking the streets of the big city, there was so much to do for a first date.
"Will you be up for anything I choose?" Asked Kurama cautiously.
"Yes just make sure we don't run into Yusuke or the fool."
"Oh I haven't thought of them for a while. I wonder how they're doing."
"Then you should call them." He said bluntly.
"Hm. What about a movie. I haven't been in a movie theatre in ages."
"Fine."
Kurama chose the food, movie and seats. Hiei paid for everything. 'So this is how it feels to go on a real date.' Kurama thought overjoyed.
"Are you sure there is violence in this movie?"
"Positive. I am not a big fan of romantic movies, it is too overdone."
"Good or else you would have been here by yourself."
They became quiet as the movie began. During the movie, Kurama saw a couple one row in front of them and was a bit saddened when he saw the guy hugged the girl and gave her a plush toy and apologised for choosing the movie when the fight became too bloody. He just craves a touch once in a while like that. The all seeing Hiei saw this, and took his hands in his. He smiled and intertwined their figures together.
"Don't be jealous, fox. I'm all you need." He whispered. Oh how he was right.
"Thanks, I love you Hiei."
"Same here, my fox."
When the movie was over, they skipped into another, until they got tired. Hiei loved it because of the danger of getting caught by these humans, and Kurama was traumatised because it was not expected of Minamino Shuichi to do such thing, but he had to admit it was fun and the danger was addictive.
It was about midnight when they got home and Kurama rushed to the bathroom because he spilled a drink on himself while movie hopping.
Getting out of the shower, with his robe wrapped around him, Kurama went to his balcony to savour the cool night's air. It always seems so peaceful, because there was no sight of a human or a building, just nature. Hearing someone behind him, he turned his head to the side, as Hiei embraced him from behind as he looked up into the night sky, as the stars twinkled back at them.
"That has always been my view no matter where I slept." He voiced it in a whisper, causing Kurama to tremble.
Kurama leaned into the embrace, as he stared up into the heavens, remembering what he said to it just the day before and now it came true. He was truly content with life.
"As much as I would love to stay like this forever, we do need to sleep."
"Who said we have to stop because of sleep."
"Huh?"
"I'm moving back into this room with you." He said, not asked.
"Really? I wouldn't want it any other way."
Hiei took his fox by the hand and guided him towards the bed. As they got into bed, Kurama was caught up to an embrace that touched him from the inside out. Resting his head on Hiei's shoulder, he wondered how it can get any sweeter.
"I love you, fox" Came the deep whisper.
Kurama looked into those deep red eyes, and got lost in them. "Same here, my Hiei." He was rewarded with a kiss, which soon became passionate. Kurama wrapped his arms around Hiei's neck, bringing their bodies closer. Hiei rolled onto Kurama, and deepened the kiss as his hands caressed the body beneath him. Kurama moaned into the kiss as they body slightly moved against each other, causing a delightful sensation to rupture in the two lovers. Eventually they broke away from the kiss to get air. Hiei continues, by kissing light trails from Kurama's ear to his neck. Kurama tilted his head up to give Hiei more room to work with, as he arch into him in response to what was being done to him.
"Ah Hiei..." he moaned out quietly.
"I'm here." He said as he went back for those luscious lips.
They eased into the kiss as it developed into a passionate physical experience either of them ever had. Kurama caressed Hiei's back, and was rewarded with a deep moan, which added wood to his flame. It seems like hours later, they came back to the real world from their heavy make out session.
"Mm,, Hiei, you are divine." He whispered, almost asleep.
"Hn." He said with a smirk. "You're not half bad either, my fox. You're tired. Sleep."
"Good night, Hiei. I love you from now to the ends of the earth."
"Same here fox, sweet dreams." He replied as he pulled the cover over them and Kurama got comfortable in his embrace as he fell asleep. Hiei looked down onto Kurama's face, thinking about the day they've had and how Mukuro has limited they time together.
The end, and I can't wait to write the next chapter. Thank you so much for reading especially my two lovely reviewers. Thank you for still being with me. I hope you enjoyed it. Shiori is fun to write, hehe, and Hiei is just hotness. I want him to be real, both of them. ^_^, ja.
