Last time on The Courtship
Kuwabara has a heart to heart with his big sis, he realizes that he may be a bit bigoted when it comes to demons. Koenma has made his engagement to Botan official. After the proposal, the two agree to try to wait for the wedding night to do the deed; but Koenma decided to try out one of Professor Kurama's lessons on pleasure on his fiancée. After a screaming orgasm, Botan decides to reciprocate.
Koenma gulped. "Bo-Botan?"
"Yes, Koenma?" she answered, scooting closer to him. She slid his silk boxers down to reveal his throbbing member. Of course he wasn't as big as the guy in the video (nicknamed 'the mule') however, at eight and a half inches; he was impressive enough for Botan. She noticed a slightly milky fluid had gathered at the tip. She took it on her finger and licked it, marveling at its tangy taste. Koenma's mouth dropped open.
"Are-are you sure? Because you don't have to-uhhhhh!" he finished, as Botan wrapped her hand around his manhood and stroked.
"What's the matter, my love? Do you not want me to?" She had a naughty little gleam in her eye that sent shivers down his body, straight to his manhood, causing it to bob up and down slightly. "I'd say that your manhood has no objections, wouldn't you?"
"No, of course not, but Botan-OHHHH!" Once again he was cut off; this time Botan had licked the tip of his cock and hand begun to swirl her tongue around the head.
"So shall I stop or continue?" She paused for a fraction of a second. "Too late!" She exclaimed and took the whole head into her mouth.
"Oh!" he cried out again. He was at a loss for words. He never knew such pleasure existed.
After suckling and teasing the head a bit, she took a little more in her mouth, moving her head back and forth slowly. Koenma fought back the urge to grab her head and push it down further, instead he ran his fingers through her long tresses, she was wearing it down tonight and he thought it made her look infinitely sexy.
Botan was inexperienced at this art form so she didn't want to try taking the whole thing in her mouth, but she did lick his cock from base to head along the underside and tickled his jewels in her hand, driving Koenma into frenzy.
"Oh, Botan, Botan, oh…oh…don't stop, oh that feels so, oh my…oh god…" He didn't realize that he was rocking his hips back and forth. His eyes were closed, and his head was spinning. He could feel his climax building up…he knew he was going to come soon.
"Oh Botan, you naughty girl, you naughty little girl…bad girl…I going to have to discipline you…"
A fresh wave of moisture erupted between her thighs at his assertion. She bobbed her head faster and a moan escaped her throat. "Mmmmmmm…." this shot vibrations straight to Koenma's cock and sent him over the edge.
"I'm going to…you should probably..." he tried to pull out but Botan held him firm. "Oh, Botan I'm…fuck…OHHHHHHH…SHIT….AHHHHH BOTAN!" Instinctively, he grabbed the base of his cock and pumped his hot seed into Botan's awaiting mouth, which she swallowed eagerly.
Panting feverishly, Koenma sank to the floor and struggled to wrap his mind around what had just happened. Kurama's technical explanation of the pleasure and intensity of the orgasm did not do it justice.
He had finally caught his breath enough to speak. "Botan," he panted. 'That was…amazing."
"I'm glad you liked it." She said, the naughty little twinkle was still in her eye.
"Botan, I must apologize."
"For what?"
"My…course language; although it was your fault."
"Is that so?" she asked in that husky voice he loved so much. "How do you figure that?"
"Because," he answered in that assertive tone that made her tingle. "You were doing naughty things and you must be disciplined."
"Well my lord," she crawled on her hands and knees towards him. "What type of discipline did you have in mind?"
"Oh, I'm sure I can think of something…"
Hiei paced back and forth in his quarters at Mukuro's castle. He was still reeling from the incident with Kuwabara. His greatest fear realized: abandonment by the one he loves with a passion stronger than anything he has ever felt. To be fair, Kuwabara did have a point. His irresolute stance on the rebellion was causing a rift in their relationship. But he didn't know how to feel. He felt contempt for most humans, including Kazuma's annoying sister and the detective's controlling wife. But he did feel…protective over them. As much as they annoyed them anyone who harmed one of them would face his wrath. But outside of those three, did he really care about the human species?
Other demons called him a traitor. Not to his face anymore, of course. They also laughed behind his back at his choice of a mate-a human; and the stupidest human alive, for that matter. They didn't laugh at Yusuke or Kurama, they were both part human and might be expected to take a human mate. But Hiei was a full demon. Rejected from his own people, the Koorime, so he turned to the humans for comfort; so they said.
Was that true? Perhaps. One of the things that drew him to Kazuma was his compassion, even for his enemies. He and the detective both welcomed him onto their team, even though he had tried to defeat Yusuke once and swore his revenge. What really hooked him was watching him give some of his life energy to save the detective after they defeated the beasts at maze castle. How could he just give his life like that?
But even he knew Kazuma had limits. Other than him and Kurama, Kazuma had not had many positive experiences with demons. And now he learns that many of them prey on humans as an easy and tasty meal, and his mate seems to be indifferent on the matter. If Kazuma had just let him explain…but what would he say?
When he talked with Mukuro last night, he more or less demanded that she put an end to the rebellion, although he knew this was hardly necessary. She tolerated no insubordination, as the rebels should have known. She even told him that he was welcome to crush the rebellion himself; he promptly passed on the offer. This surprised her somewhat. She assumed that he would automatically jump on the opportunity and asked why he chose not to. He said it was none of her business. That's when she stated that he had mixed feelings, since he was mated to a human and had done much to protect the ningenkai, but was still a demon after all. She questioned whether his judgment could be trusted either way.
"Excuse me, Lord Hiei?" A servant had appeared in the doorway.
"What is it?" he snapped.
"You have a guest."
"Tell whoever it is to go away!"
"Now that's hardly polite, is it?" The guest appeared behind the servant.
"Leave us," Hiei instructed. The servant bowed and left.
He turned to his guest. "What do you want?"
"Is that anyway to greet an old friend?" It was Touya, the master of ice and member of the shinobi.
And his former lover.
It had started at the Dark Tournament; that very night after they fought their team, in fact. Hiei had gone out for a walk, he didn't feel like socializing, and the arrival of his sister always put him on edge. He ran into Touya, and for some reason they started talking. Touya was openly flirting with him, and Hiei was uptight. Rutting was one way to relieve stress. So they fucked, and fucked, and fucked some more. Touya was always an eager and willing partner, and totally submissive. Hiei refused to be uke for anyone; until recently…
"So where is your mate?" Touya sneered, penetrating Hiei's thoughts.
"Minding his own business," Hiei said. "As you should too."
"Rumor has it you took a human for a mate. And I hear it's that big stupid one that was on your team in the tournament. But that couldn't be true, could it? Not the great Hiei, heir to Lord Mukuro, taking a human, a weak human as a mate. You were never one to tolerate a weak companion."
"Kazuma is the strongest human alive," Hiei said defensively. "And I tolerated you," he couldn't resist adding.
Touya narrowed his ice blue eyes at his former lover; a smirk crossed his tiny mouth. "So defensive are we? Should he not be here at your side? Unless he is too afraid-" he stopped short at Hiei's growl, vicious and threatening.
"Get out of my quarters," he warned. "And stay the fuck out of my way, or I'll-"
"Relax Hiei, no need to get all uptight. I just wanted to speak after all, and get your opinion on the subject of this rebellion-"
"Fuck off, Touya!"
"Perhaps," he said slyly as he winked and left.
This is just fucking great, Hiei thought. He knew that if Touya was here, then the detective must be here as well. All the misfits from the tournament hung out in his territory.
"Hey, three eyes."
Hiei turned to see Yusuke standing there.
"What?" Hiei demanded.
"Oooooh, so snappy. Must not have made up with Kuwabara yet."
Hiei's silence told him everything. "I guess not. Don't worry, though. He can't stay mad at you for long."
"He wants to separate."
Yusuke's eyes got wide. "Really? Why?"
"He thinks that I think its ok for demons to eat humans."
"Do you?"
Hiei glared at detective.
Yusuke shrugged. "No need to look at me like that. You haven't really said what you think about it."
"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Hiei snapped.
"I didn't ask you," Yusuke pointed out. "Just saying that you know how sensitive Kuwabara is. He needs reassurance sometimes. And he's not really into demons, except you of course," Yusuke hastened to add at the look Hiei gave him.
"Look I can tell that you are uncomfortable talking about this," Yusuke said. "I just came to get you. Mukuro wants to see us."
Hiei had a bad feeling that he knew what she wanted.
They met in her conference room. One her guards provided a report.
"Lord Mukuro, our troops are having a hard time containing the rebellion," he started, reading a parchment. "It's spreading to another area-"
"I'm not surprised," she spoke up. "I probably sent the wrong men to deal with this. I should have gone myself."
"There is no need for that, Lord Mukuro," the guard insisted. He knew that if Mukuro got involved herself then all the guards that failed to suppress the rebellion were as dead as the rebels themselves.
"That's what happens when you send minor minions to deal with a major problem," Hiei commented.
"You know Hiei," Mukuro said slowly. "You are correct. In fact…"
Hiei narrowed his ruby red eyes at his overlord. It was rare for her to agree with him so openly. She was up to something.
"…I think I will send my strongest henchman and his associates to deal with this major issue. Who better than my second in command to enforce my laws?"
Hiei shifted in his seat. "I would rather not get involved."
"Oh but you are involved," Murkuro reminded him. "This will be your territory one day. You must enforce your strong arm now, so they will fear you later."
"No."
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist."
"Is that an order?"
"It is."
After that the discussion had nowhere to go. Hiei and Yusuke rose to leave.
"One more thing," she said.
"What?" Hiei asked.
"Their leader's name is Gizel the Headhunter. You will bring him to me."
"So, what's with you Hiei?" Yusuke asked on the way. "You're acting weird."
"What the hell do you mean? Just because I don't have an opinion-"
"That just it. You have an opinion about everything. Even if you don't get involved."
"You, Kurama, Kazuma, and Mukuro are all starting to get on my nerves. Why is it so important that you know my opinion?"
"I already know your opinion."
"And what would that be?" Hiei eyed his friend intently.
"C'mon Hiei. It's the same reason you fought Sensui with us. And that you did border patrol for three years, then came and hooked up with Kuwabara."
"Get to the point, detective."
"What I'm tryin' to say is, humans get on your nerves, but you don't want them all killed either."
"Hn."
"I knew it! Why couldn't you just tell Kuwabara that?"
"He didn't even give me the chance."
"Ten to one says he'll come after you."
"We'll see."
They arrived at the rebellion site. Thousands of filthy, weak, and ugly demons in one place. Yusuke was not impressed.
"You're kidding! They couldn't handle these punks!"
"Well, well, well," one of them sneered. "If it isn't the human lovers."
Hiei reached for his Katana.
Koenma sat at his desk the next morning, whistling to himself. He was in a remarkably good mood to be in the midst of a rebellion. He was glad that Yusuke wasn't here to see it, he would have to put up with his jokes.
"Lord Koenma," Jorje appeared before him. "Mister Kuwabara is here to see you."
Koenma was expecting this. "Send him in."
Kuwabara walked in. "What can I do for you?" Koenma asked, already knowing the answer.
"I want to go to demon world."
"Are you sure? In the midst of a rebellion?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine."
"Very well. Kaya will escort you to a portal."
What's this? Kuwabara going to demon world! Will he become filet mignon for some lucky demon? Will he run into Hiei's old flame? And what about Botan? She's been a bad girl, after all. What will Koenma have in store for her? Find out as The Courtship progresses!
A/N: I had a REALLY hard time naming this chapter. Perhaps it's the cold that I'm nursing clogging up my imagination!
