I just want to take this time to *sniffles* thank everyone for being with me this long. Marikalay, you are an awesome Beta reader and thank you so much for your help. I am so happy there are so many people reading, and I thank you ALL.... I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I am so sorry for not updating sooner but life became hectic for a while, so I made it up by making this extra long, so please enjoy, ^_^
'I wonder what the fox would think.' He smiled as he picked up speed and headed south to meet his fox.
Strolling through the door, he couldn't help but laugh at the sight that greeted him. Kurama was running back and forth from the bundle of flowers on the couch to the kitchen where he continued arranging the last few bouquets. His hair was a mess with stems sticking out of it and chlorophyll stains on his hands and clothes, and from the way he looked at Hiei went he walked in, Kurama did not see him. That glazed look in those green eyes showed that Kurama was stressed, focused and was channelling his creativity to make this his best work ever.
Finally breaking out of his self induced trance, to get a drink of water, he finally noticed Hiei, elegantly leaning against the wall, arms jabbed in his pockets, with an amused smile on his face. "It's about time you came up for air... uh well water." He joked as Kurama eyes grew wide.
"HIEI, you're back! So soon, I thought you were going to come back tomorrow." He commented, smiling as he took a long needed sip of the cool water he obtained from the fridge.
"If you want I can go and come back tomorrow." Hiei continued as he walked over to the unfinished centre piece. Taking the opportunity to look around, he saw bouquets that have been finely arranged, centre pieces, and other miscellaneous flowers that will be either for confetti, grooms men suits or extras. Keiko talked Yusuke in having a western-style wedding, and then Kuwabara agreed, because he loved it when he attended Shiori's wedding with Kurama.
"Don't you dare." Kurama started, as he strolls towards Hiei and pulling him in for a kiss. Pulling back, he stared into those beautiful eyes. "Welcome back." He greeted, and Hiei pulled him in again for another kiss. This time, it was longer.
"Fox, I have news." Hiei said when they finally pulled away for air. When Kurama heard that, he was going to start with Mukuro and how she has bad timing, but Hiei hushed him by placing a slender finger to his lips.
"Let me speak fox." He insisted. "She wanted me to deal with some minor stuff that has been happening in the territory, but before that she introduced me to Kazuhiko." He smiled knowing full well Kurama does not know who Kazuhiko is.
"Huh, who is he? Did she hire someone to take your place?" he asked, a bit worried, of course he would love that, because that will mean he will have Hiei all to himself, but Hiei loves that job, for one, it's in Makai, two, he will not be easily bored, and three, the power.
Hiei smiled, "Her lover." He calmly stated, purposely saying it as if it is the most normal thing in the world to say, of course it is but not when one is talking about Mukuro.
"Waaahhaaaaaattttttt." Came Kurama's slow response, with a shocked expression on his face.
"You heard me." Hiei was being amused.
"Really? How did she get him?" Finally relieved that she wasn't after Hiei which he always thought and feared she was.
"The last time I went back, the day I was leaving, she finally left that cell she calls a bedroom. She met him in one of the nearby villages. Apparently he had his eyes on her for a while, believing a forceful and strong woman like Mukuro would never be interested in him, he didn't do anything, well until he found a way to get what he wanted. Fox, I saw a side of her I never thought existed. She actually behaved like a female, well... like Kuwabara when Yukina is around." He said, thinking about that last thing he said. It was true, and he knew he trusted Kuwabara for Yukina, but no brother likes to see another guy behaving so love struck over his sister.
"Wow, really. That must have been a sight to see." Kurama's shocked face became a soft smile. "Well, there are some people who would be shocked if they know how you are with me, maybe it's the love thing that makes us so giddy, ne Hiei?" He teased.
"Hn." He turned away in thought. "Well they will never see that." He said as if it was a law.
"I agree, it is for my eyes only." Kurama winked at Hiei as he turned his gaze back on him.
"That's not the only thing that is for your eyes only." He smirked in such a sexy way, it made Kurama weak in the knees, really, literally, he almost landed on his rear if not for Hiei's quick action.
"Are you alright Fox." He asked concerned visible in his features.
"You make me weak in the knees. I never thought it was real, but love does things to you. Crap this is embarrassing." He giggled, turning away from his weakness.
"Hn, no need to be. You did much more embarrassing things before." He finished with a side grin.
"What, and you did not tell me?" Hiei wanted to laugh.
"It's nothing, we all do it. I am just amused by the affect I have on you." He teased.
"Hmpt." Kurama pretended to be mad and turned away.
"Where are you going fox." He said pulling the fox towards his chest, as he kissed to playful pout Kurama made with his lips.
"As much as I like this, I do have to get back to finish this. I am very happy for Mukuro though, we are all being blessed at the same time. Well some later than others, but, it's great." He smiled at Hiei and saw a genuinely sweet, tease-free smile.
The wedding day- Genkai's temple
"Awe man I can't go through this. It's like selling my soul." Said Yusuke to Kuwabara as he straightened himself as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
"Man. You know you're doing the right thing, so just shut up." Kuwabara commented, trying to calm down his friend. It is easy for Yusuke to jump to fight an A class or even S-class demon, without qualms, but getting married to the love of his life, and he has second thoughts. "Just relax man."
"Easier said than done." He whispered turning towards his best friend. He felt better that Kuwabara was there. Hearing the door slide open, they turned towards the visitor.
"Ah, Hey Kurama, Urameshi has cold feet." Kuwabara stated, hoping to get help.
"Yusuke, this is just something else that you decide to do. It will make you stronger." He reasoned in words Yusuke can relate to. It was just when he wanted to fight; he knew in the end he'll be stronger. There was always some to gain, well if he didn't die, but even then he did.
"How will this make me stronger?" He stated, not getting it. "After this, everyone will know my weakness and use Keiko to get to me, like they use your mother to get to you." He reasoned.
"Yes, that is true, but you also gain strength with that. I know you've experienced that before. Remember when you thought Kuwabara was killed by Toguro? He knew emotions play a role in the way you fight, so he used that to get you to fight at you true potential." Kurama continued.
"You make sense, I will kill for Keiko, but ... man.... I will be 'married.' I feel sorry for my fans, hehe." He finally begins to sound like himself. They all smiled at that "Let's go get married." He flung hands in the air, and marched out of the room into to gathering area where he saw the end product of Kurama's hard work.
"Man, you went all out, thanks." He complimented Kurama's work as the fox came in and saw his expression. From the doors to the furthest part into the room was the 'aisle' adorned with a saturated amount of purple peony petals, underneath when lay a white silk fabric to bring out the purple and enhance to wooden floor in the rest of the room. The chairs were also covered in this white material with five bouquets on each side of the aisle. The bouquets were about five feet tall to give the illusion of an enchanted forest in bloom. The lighting was from candles that gave of a soft amber colour to enhance the romantic feel in the room.
"Thanks Yusuke, only best for you and Keiko." He smiled, and then looked around to see the guests as they arrived. Most of them were apparitions from the Ankoku Bujutsukai, and Makai, except Shizuru, Keiko's mum and dad, Atsuko, and Shiori. 'Where is Hiei?' He thought as he passed Hokushin on his way out. Outside, he scanned the trees. 'He can be difficult when he doesn't want to be found.' He sighed, and went hunting. Walking through the forest he continued to scan the foliage above. Coming toward a clearance, he saw Hiei leaning against a tree, staring off into the distance. He wore black dress pants, his normal blue tank top with the jacket flung on a bush branch next to him.
"Damn I can't get this simple thing right." He heard Hiei say as he walked towards him.
"Hey, are you alright, is something wrong?" Kurama came to stand next to him but not too close because he looked angry at whatever he couldn't get right.
Hiei sighed and turned towards his fox, and gave a tiny smile, "yea, it's nothing." He paused. "Are they ready to do this thing?" he asked, a bit irritated. Kurama laughed, knowing Hiei would rather be anywhere else but here. Hiei grabbed his jacket and flung it over his shoulder and started on his way.
"Hiei are you sure you're alright?" Kurama asked concerned.
Hiei turned and went to stand in front of Kurama. He snaked a hand around his waist and pulled him in for a sweet soft long kiss. There was something definitely different in that kiss, and Kurama couldn't tell exactly what it was but he didn't want the kiss to end so he draw Hiei closer by putting his arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. Pulling away, Hiei looked down at his now flushed fox.
He grinned. "Are you alright, fox?" He teased, pulled away and continued his way back to the temple, leaving Kurama there, just staring, wondering what just happened. Of course he knew that Hiei kissed him, but it's what he felt and the delightful chilling sensation that invoked his body when Hiei spoke in that teasing voice. Coming out of his trance-like state he ran up to meet Hiei, but Hiei was in the temple already.
"I thought you were not coming any more." He heard Hiei's voice behind him, in his right ear. His heart leaped in his chest as he turned to see Hiei, who now had his jacket on.
"How are you so much more irresistible today than ever?" Kurama commented turning towards to voice, looking at Hiei.
"Your mind is playing games on you. I was always this way." He said, as it he was something he normally said, as he inched closer with an unknown look on his face. Before their conversation can escalate to euphoric levels, Genkai interrupted, knowing full well what she was interrupting.
"We are going to start now. Keiko is here with her parents. Come in or get a room." She turned to go, but turned back. "Don't think about getting a room." She grinned and walked away.
Kurama looked at Hiei and smile, "Shall we."
"We don't have a choice." Hiei stated as he walked in and take a seat in the front row on the left side, which was meant for them. "Let's get this over with." He murmured to himself, but Kurama heard him as he sat next to him.
"Hiei, be nice, how will you feel if he did that in your wedding or something." Kurama asked him, eyebrow arched when he saw Hiei stiffen a bit. He relaxed and answered, "I will not have a human ceremony fox. I will mate the way my people does." He punctuated his sentence with folded arms and watched as Kuwabara slapped Yusuke for some foolishness before he sat back in his seat as Yusuke sported a wide grin.
"Alright, welcome everyone, we are ready to begin." Genkai greeted as the audience hushed. After a moment, Keiko made her way down the aisle to the song, '18th Floor Balcony by Blue October.' She began to tear up as she listened to the words and see Yusuke smiling sweetly at her. She was utterly stunning in her dress that blended in the Traditional Kimono with a western style dress. She actually designed it, with the top as a Kimono, all white with light pink sakura petals littering the sleeves and become more concentrated as it reaches her wrist. The wide sash at the empire waist opened out into a full A line skirt with an open front, cut to look like a full length kimono has been opened out to show the layers beneath. Botan began crying as she saw Keiko walk up to Yusuke with tear streak face smiling. She leaned against Koenma as she looked on with a tissue in her hand.
"We are going to make this as short as ever, a request from the groom." Genkai said before she began.
Kurama looked on, smiling sweetly at the couple as they agreed with everything Genkai was saying, not really paying attention to her. Hiei was looking on, to anyone it would seem as if he was bored to death, maybe he was, but occasional raised brow gave away the fact that he was thinking about something.
"Yusuke, pay attention t what I am saying. You have the rest of your life to stare at Keiko." Genkai snapped at Yusuke playfully.
"Oh sorry, yes, yes. Keiko I do love you, and you know my life loses its meaning without you." He stopped then looked at Genkai to continue, with his signature grin on his face trying not to stare at Keiko's cleavage, again.
"I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Urameshi." She grinned at the couple tilting her head towards Keiko, ushering Yusuke to kiss her.
"Oh, yes. Come here Keiko." He pulled his new wife and dipped her into a deep kiss, and whispered 'I love you zutto' against her lips. Everyone cheered and they stood up as Yusuke yelled, "See old man, I did it." Referring to Raizen then turned to Hokushin and smiled.
Reception, in a different room
Kurama stood there, looking around. Apparently his date disappeared again. Walking toward to bathroom, he saw Hiei, well heard is more like it.
"Damn it woman, give me a chance." He yelled at Mukuro through the communicator. She said something but Kurama couldn't make it out.
"Fine, but I am not coming back any time soon. Have fun with your boy toy, and let me be." With that he slammed the communicator shut and shoved it into his pocket. "Fox, what is it?" He asked not turning around.
"You have disappeared quite a bit today. Do you have to go back to Makai? If you do, it's alright."
Hiei knows that Kurama isn't really fine with this. He's never been that easily fooled. "No, she is just being a pain."
"Oh alright." Just as he suspected, now Kurama was beaming at him. 'Crazy fox.' The he stopped his thought. 'If the fox is crazy, what does that make me?' Kurama guided him back to the reception area.
"Suuichi, there you are, where did you two run off to?" Shiori teased them.
"Kaasan, I just went to find Hiei, for he was doing a few disappearing acts today." He stated, playfully glaring at Hiei.
"Hiei, dear, you look great." She complemented.
"Thanks mother." He replied and smiled as Shiori grinned at him. She just loves when he calls her mother.
"Well I know you two would love to dance, so go and have fun. I'll stay here and hopefully a nice guy will come my way." She giggled.
"Kaasan, you are already married."
"But that does not mean I should not have fun, dear, now go and leave your mother alone now." She shooed them and took a seat, ready to be offered a dance. Lucky she didn't have to wait long, for Chuu and Shishiwakamaru came up to her, honoured to finally meet the infamous Youko Kurama's human mother.
"Hey Sheila, care to dance with a strapping handsome man such as myself." Chuu said, coming close to her face.
"Uh..." She paused fanning her face to get the liquor breath from her face.
"Leave you idiot, you smell of alcohol. Miss Shiori is a lady and should be approached as such." Turning to Shiori, he continued. "Miss Shiori, care to dance?"
"I would love to..." She paused
"I am very sorry my lady, my name is Shishiwakamaru." He bowed, "And this bone head is Chuu ." He pointed to the now stumbling man on his way to Shizuru. Oh now that is just a bad idea, but lives and learns.
Turning his attention to the lady, he guided her to the dance floor.
Kurama sat down with a drink as he watched his mother dance and Yusuke doing something on the dance floor with poor Keiko trying to keep up, as she yells, 'Yusuke slow down,' or 'what the hell are you doing, that is not dancing.' Shaking his head he thought, 'he will never change, not even now that he is married.' He turned to his right and saw Hiei sitting very relaxed on the chair, with his jacket over the chair, sipping a green drink, and showing out those divine arms and sculpted chest. Turning away as to not get distracted, he saw Botan blushing at something Koenma said, and Suzuka, oh I mean the beautiful Suzuka, is just being himself.
When Hiei was finished his drink, he turned to look at his fox, hesitated, then decided to go get another drink.
"Fox do you want anything?" He asked as he got up, staring off in the distance.
"Oh... uh... just get me whatever you're having." He said, a bit taken aback by the question, but glad that Hiei was being nice in front of everyone.
Hiei just nodded and left. Kurama noticed that he seemed strange but not too strange to alert him of anything, just that something may be bothering him.
Hiei came back with the drink, handed it to Kurama and took a walk outside to get some air, but just far enough to still be a part of the reception. Taking his drink with him, Kurama followed.
"Hiei are you alright?" Kurama asked, worriedly.
Turning to face his fox he answered. "I'm fine fox." He paused then gave a short laugh. "I never thought the detective had it in him."
"Yes, and it is a nice party now. They seem to be having fun. They both deserve it after all they've been though, especially Keiko. Every time Yusuke left, it tore her apart. Sadly I know how that feels." He concluded as he turned his eyes away from the now slow dancing couple and on to the floor.
Hiei was secretly battling with himself and had enough of his own foolishness. 'I'm one of the strongest demons alive, and I can't even do this simple thing that humans do so often.' He though as he gulped down his Makai liquor.
"Hiei, do you want to dance." Came his angel's voice. A bit stunned by the question, he just stood there. Then he looked around and saw everyone minding their own business. 'What the hell.' "Fine, but we stay here." he answered.
Pulling his fox close to him, he nuzzled his neck as Kurama rested his head on his shoulders, hands made its way around Hiei's neck, as he enjoyed their closeness. It was nice having these little things that tell him how much Hiei really loved him.
Hiei was actually enjoying the closeness and soon enough he forgot about his environment and allowed the music to take him away with its slow rhythm and Kurama's warmth. Suddenly stopping, he placed his hands under Kurama's chin and guided him to look at him. He pulled his face closer until their lips met in a soft and short kiss.
"Be my mate, fox." Were his only words as he stared into his lover's face which was one breath away from him.
Kurama was in shock, good shock but it was still shock. He continued to stare into those passionate eyes, speechless.
"Uhh...." He sounded, and then shook his head. "Of course Hiei, I will be honoured." He said as he grabbed Hiei close to him into a crushing kiss. "I would love that more than anything." He whispered. Hiei smiled down at him.
"Me too fox." He said, finally relaxed. And to think, he was worried and took the whole day practising and worrying. At first he thought Kurama knew what he was doing when he found him before the weeding started, but luckily he did not. "I love you." He said, trying to get use to saying it.
"Hiei.... I love you too. I believe I am the happiest person in the world." He paused, "Even more than Yusuke right now." AS if on cue he heard Yusuke's voice.
"Damn it woman, you're stepping on my toe." He yelled.
"Well you don't have rhythm and you want to lead. That's what you get, Yusuke." Keiko retaliated.
Hiei and Kurama turned to each other and grinned. "Well everyone shows love in different ways."Kurama stated with a smile at his now fiancé. 'That sounds great, my fiancé.' He thought as he rested his head on Hiei's shoulder, moving much closer to him as they move in unison with the music. "You're mine now, and I will never let you go, fox." When Kurama heard that, his heart swelled with happiness, "I wouldn't want it any other way." Then Kurama remembered something. "Aren't you suppose to go to Makai?"
"No. But I would like to go home now." He said in a very seductive voice.
"OH....oh..." Kurama got it when Hiei gave him that look. "Let's tell Kaasan we are leaving, and then you'll have me all to yourself. Oh do you want to tell her the news now or later?"
"Later, this is not the right time." He commented as they walked to the dancing couple. Kurama thought of it, and then nodded in agreement as he followed Hiei to this mother.
"Kaasan, we're leaving now." Said Kurama as Shiori turned to look at him.
"Oh, alright dear. I'll be fine by myself. Genkai has already prepared a room for me. Isn't that sweet of her?" She asked looking at her two boys.
"Yes Kaasan, well enjoy, and we will see you very soon." He said and cut the conversation short due to the nudging he received from Hiei, which went unnoticed to Shiori.
"Alright bye, have fun." With that they left.
Outside, Kurama turned to Hiei, "Are you in a hurry for something?" He teased.
"Yes," was the blunt answer, as he raced Kurama home.
On their way home, Kurama tried to cheat to get ahead, knowing that Hiei can win a race to anyone any day.
"Stop cheating fox." He grinned as he zipped pass Kurama.
"Fine, but this is not fair. You are naturally faster." He said, as they jump from roof top to roof top, then on a tree.
Finally on the front step, Hiei turned to Kurama who finally landed. "What took you so long?" He asked.
"Ha. Ha, Hiei. You're so full of yourself." He playfully pushed passed Hiei to open the door.
"It's called confidence." He teased.
The door finally opened and as they entered as Hiei began attacking Kurama with kisses. Hiei let Kurama up the stairs toward the room, not parting, as Kurama tried to take of his blazer and Hiei working on his belt. Breaking their connection for a while, Hiei looked at Kurama who looked eager to get to the good part and asked, "What kind of belt are you wearing?" He was trying but that belt was not coming off.
Finally after a minute or so, Kurama succeeded in taking of the belt as his pants feel to the floor. Hiei continued attacking his lips as he removed his own jacket. Finally up the stairs, he pinned Kurama to the wall, both hands running down his thighs to the back of knee as he lifted Kurama up and pressed himself closer to the fox. Kurama tightened his hold around Hiei's neck as he wrapped his legs around Hiei's waist. Panting hard, they break free, as Hiei started kissing his jaw line going down to his neck, sucking lightly as he graze the neck with his fangs. Hearing Kurama moaned turned him on more as he felt one of Kurama's hands in his hair, ushering him on.
"Uh.... Hiei...." That moved Hiei over the edge as he ground his hips into Kurama's, letting out a soft moan. "Oh gosh.... Hiei... I've waited too long." Kurama struggled to speak as Hiei continued is assault on his body. Slowing Hiei began to remove his pants, but he was having problems. This always happens at the wrong time and when you're hurrying. Too caught up, he just unzipped it while Kurama unwrapped his legs from his waist and began to kiss Hiei now with heated passion, as he removed his underwear, and wrapped one leg around Hiei's waist pulling him close again.
Putting his hands on Kurama's bottom, he lifted him up a better position. Kurama wrapped his arms around Hiei's neck as one hand snaked into his hair, as he felt Hiei enter him. He moaned into the kiss, as he lowered himself on Hiei. All this time, Kurama wanted to wait for the right time, and now it is here. He never imagined it would have felt like that. Hiei began to move, lifting Kurama higher, up and down, as he thrust into him against the wall. Kurama broke the kiss and let out a loud moan, as he felt pure bliss. He began to feel as if he was high as he grabbed his hair with one hand as he moan out loud. Hiei was less vocal as he moved to Kurama's neck, moaning lightly. Hiei continued as Kurama instinctively began rotating his hips harder against Hiei.
"Oh...ahh.... Hiei......." He moaned trying to grab something as they began moving faster. Moaning louder, he barely heard the phone ringing in the bedroom. He knew he was coming closer to his end. A few moans after, he did, as he also felt Hiei did as well. Resting his head on Hiei's shoulder, he panted out his delightful exhaustion, as Hiei guided him down in a standing position.
Not moving from Hiei's shoulder, he smiled. "Hiei... it was worth the wait."
He smiled as Hiei grinned down to his fox. Taking Hiei's hand, he led him to the room as he shoved Hiei on the bed, and stripped him of his pants and top he still wore. Taking off his own shirt, he stroll over to the bed and straddled Hiei's waist, looking down at him with a seductive look. Hiei reached into those beautiful tresses and ran his hands though it then cups his cheek.
Leaning into the caress, Kurama placed his hands over Hiei's as he leaned in to kiss its master while he slowly began to move again Hiei. Breaking the kiss, Hiei looked up at Kurama.
"Fox, I thought you were tired."
"I never said that." He seductively replied, "Actually I'm a bit hungry."
Hiei put on a thoughtful look as he patted his chin with his finger. "We can stop, there should be something in the kitchen you can eat." Hiei replied combing his hands through Kurama's hair.
"Why would I want something else, and I have you right here?" Then Hiei realised what he was hungry for.
Kurama began kissing Hiei again as Hiei's hands trailed down Kurama's back to his thighs, as Kurama continue to move against him. Without stopping the kiss, Kurama raised himself up and slowly lowered himself onto Hiei, as he moaned into the kiss. Hiei began to guide Kurama's hips with his hands, hoping Kurama would move soon. Hiei gave one hard thrust against Kurama and he broke the kiss and moaned out loudly, as he gripped on his own thighs as his pleasure begins to escalate.
Hiei guided Kurama's rotation on him as he thrust up and down. Hiei moaned as he saw the look on his fox's face, which was flushed, mouth agape, and back arched, with his eyes closed as he savoured the feeling of physical love with Hiei. Getting a bit bolder and needy for more, Kurama began moving faster and bouncing up and down on Hiei as he led both of them to their completion with a scream, as Kurama though he blacked out, not knowing Hiei felt the same thing. He sigh in content as he came down from his orgasmic high.
Feeling overwhelmed with emotions, he looked down at Hiei, who was grinning up at him with the most beautiful look on his face that took his breath away.
"You look so handsome right now, Hiei." He whispered as he got off Hiei and settled on his left side as he snuggled next to him. Wrapping his arms around him, Hiei replied. "So do you, fox." He inched in for a kiss. "So, are you still hungry?" he smiled.
Kurama laughed. "I'm very satisfied for now, but luckily I have my personal buffet that I may never go hungry again." He winked. Then he remembered. "Oh I heard the phone ring when we were.. uh.. outside." He finished with a flushed face.
Stretching over Hiei to the phone, he checked it. "Oh it was mother. I wonder what she wants."
"Well call her." Hiei said.
"Wouldn't it be too late?"
"Just try it, if she doesn't answer, at least you did call back, so she can't say you didn't." He reasoned.
"Alright." Dialling the number and putting it on speaker, he pulled the cover over them as he rested his head on Hiei's chest.
"Hello, Suuichi, are you alright, I called earlier but you didn't answer." Came Shiori's voice.
"Uhh...." Kurama blushed as he thought why he could not answer. Hesitating, he did not know how to tell his mother him and Hiei finally became intimate. Of course she would love it, that truth scared him a bit. He loved that his mother is very understood and accepting, but it still seem too good to be true.
"Suuichi are you there."
"Kurama." he looked at Kurama who was turning red.
"Mother, we were caught up in something." Hiei said, seeing that Kurama seemed to embarrassed to tell his mother.
"Oh it's alright. I just wanted to check and see if you got home safely, and see you tomorrow. Well goodnight boys."
"Goodnight mother."
"Oh bye Kaasan, goodnight." Kurama finally found his voice, as he cut off the phone.
"Fox, that gave us away." He smirked.
"Oh well, she'll know somehow anyway. Mothers always do. It's hard hiding things from her."
"Oh I know that." He said and Kurama laughed trying to stifle a yawn.
"Fox, sleep."
"Goodnight Hiei, I love you."
"I will always too, MY fox. Goodnight" He emphasised causing Kurama to turn red again.
Next day
Waking up to the sound of birds was not a bad start to the day, as Hiei looked down at the still sleeping Kurama. Quietly getting out of bed, he decided to prepare breakfast, but looking at the clock he changed his mind.
"Oh crap. Shiori will be here soon." He said as he looked back at Kurama. He didn't really want to wake him yet, so he took a shower. When he was dressed, he gently touched his fox's cheeks, and lightly kissed him. Slowing coming out from his deep sleep, he smiled up at Hiei.
"Morning sleepyhead."
"Hey, morning Hiei." He stretched as he forced himself to be fully awake.
"How did you sleep?" Hiei asked as he combed his hands though Kurama's hair.
"Hm.... really deeply." He smiled.
"Well time to wake up, Shiori is going to be here soon, it's almost one."
"What. Really?!" h was stunned at the time.
"Go take a shower. I'll make something to eat. Oh are you in pain or anything?"
Sitting up, he winced a bit. "Not much, I thought it would have been more unbearable."
"Are you sure?" He was truly concerned.
"Yes, don't worry. I have no reason to lie to my fiancé now do I?"He grinned.
He smirked as he hurried him to the bathroom as he made his way to the kitchen. As he entered, he heard a knock on the door. He went to answer it knowing it was Shiori. She just love to be early.
"Hello my dear Hiei." She greeted cheerfully.
"Hello mother, welcome." He motioned for her to move in.
"I brought lunch. I passed this really nice restaurant on my way here, and the menu looked so delicious, I couldn't help it. I hope you and Suuichi are hungry." She said as she went into the kitchen to unload the bag.
Hearing something behind him, he saw his fox, still not fully awake, but fully clothed.
'Fox, she's here."
"What, so soon?" he nodded, that made Kurama fully awake.
Coming from the kitchen Shiori greeted her son.
"Suuichi, I brought lunch. I just unpacked it. Do you guys want to eat now? I'm sorry but I really want to try the food," She laughed.
"Alright." They agreed.
When they were having lunch, the food was good, but Kurama was having a hard time staying awake. Hiei was better at hiding his lack of enough sleep. Being intimate for the first time had drained them, but they both felt that they would get better with enough practice.
"Are you two alright, how did you sleep? You look exhausted." She noted.
"We slept fine. Best sleep in years." Kurama answered.
"But you look so tired, are you getting sick?" She asked concerned now.
"No mother, it is hard for me to sick of human diseases and viruses and it's the same for Hiei." He finished with a bite of his food.
Then it hit Shiori. A huge grin formed on her face, and I mean huge.
"Well, congrats on the new phase in your relationship." She smiled, and the shocked look they gave her.
"So, what finally brought it on? Suuichi I thought you were going to wait for a special occasion or something like that?" She asked.
Looking at Hiei, Kurama gave him a look and he nodded for Kurama to say it.
"Well mother, last night Hiei asked me to be his mate." He was beaming.
"What?! It's about time!," Shiori hugged them both quickly in her excitement, then added with a slight blush, "I mean, congratulations."
"Hiei I want to now officially welcome to this family." She said hugging him. "And I'll stop hitting on you, since you're almost officially taken." She joked.
"Kaasan." Kurama was surprised.
She laughed. "Don't worry dear, I'm joking." The something hit her again. "Oh, that's why you did not answer the phone last night." Seeing the redness on their faces she laughed.
"You guys have to understand, I'm your mother, I know these things well happen, it is perfectly understandable, and Suuichi, how did you think I became pregnant with you?" She asked, shocking them more and she laughed harder.
"Your mother is crazy, fox." Hiei stated honestly.
"She is yours too." He turned to Shiori.
"I am happy for you both and I can't tell you how much this really means to me, all jokes aside." She said as she began to tear up.
"Kaasan... What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Kurama went to side and took her hand.
"it's nothing dear. It's just that my life is complete now. I never thought you'd be this happy a few years ago. And now you have Hiei, and... I just don't want to lose both of you."
"How would you lose us?" Came Hiei's question.
"Well, when children get married, they move on with their lives, and they become too busy for their parents."
"Well, I moved out a long time now, and we still are very close, even when Hiei and I got together, we all remained close. I don't think you'll have to worry about anything. You can't get rid of us, even if you try."
She laughed as she looked into their faces. She relaxed more when she saw Hiei nodded, and Kurama smiled gently at her.
"Well then, congrats again I am so happy. Oh so will you be having a wedding or something else. I don't really know how apparitions get married or join."
"Well we haven't talked about it, but I believe we would have a traditional mating, like how our kind has been doing it." He said as he looked at Hiei for guidance on what to say.
"Oh is it a public thing?" She asked curious.
"No, it a private thing, It's uh...." he stopped, cheeks kissed with redness.
"Ohh....well since I can't be there, I want to know all the details after." She laughed at the horrified look on their faces. Putting up her hands, she said, "Alright, not all the details, but you know." She grinned sheepishly.
"Alright mother, we will."
The lunch continued with laughs, talking and teasing.
