My Life Is Brilliant

Chapter 5: To Taste A Yellow Rose


Relishing in the aftermath of their forbidden display of love, Kurama enveloped his lover in his arms. "Hiei, we shouldn't be doing this." Though he told the demon that, he felt Hiei bringing him closer to him. Their bodies were sweaty and sticky, yet it felt like nirvana to be held like Hiei held him. "I'm not at all faithful. It should feel like a sin, but it doesn't."

Closing his eyes, he settled his head down on Hiei's chest. "It doesn't because you don't love him," Hiei said to him. Kurama felt Hiei's fingers trace his jaw before running it through his hair. He tangled his fingers in the silky read hair and brought him up. "I do." Their lips touched.

"Hiei get the hell away from Kurama!"

Before either could respond to the new visitor, Hiei was pulled away from him by Yusuke. From not sensing Yusuke's presence, the man was able to land a couple of punches on the half-fire demon. Kurama got over his moment and jumped in between them. The sudden move caused Yusuke to land a hit on him straight to the shoulder. Refusing to stumble down, Kurama held onto Yusuke and pushed him away. Before relaxing a little, he made sure the two men were far from each other.

"Couldn't stand to see your precious fox with the one he really loves?" Hiei asked, smirking at Yusuke, who had yet to sit up after being thrown off by Kurama. The raven-haired demon stood up and looked down at Yusuke. "Face it, Yusuke, you don't deserve him." Hiei raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. He would've managed a hit on Yusuke, but Kurama held him back.

Avoiding their eyes, Kurama pushed them both apart from one another and sighed. "Don't. Yusuke, this isn't how I wanted you to find out," he whispered. Kurama could feel tears flowing down his face. He knew that this was what he was risking, but somehow, he never could grasp the idea of it happening in reality.

"Kurama, I knew for a while now," Yusuke stated. With a gasp, Kurama turned to look at him. "Since you gave me a chance after what happened with Keiko, it was only fair to let you have one too. Still, it's not right." The ex-detective stood up and brought him into his arms. "I'm willing to forgive you, Kurama, my love."

At the sound of Yusuke's soothing words, he wanted to erase what just had happened. To go back to the time where even though his heart ached for Hiei, it would always love Yusuke without a doubt. Shaking his head, he found saying what Yusuke wanted him to utter. "I'm sorry, Yusuke." Tears began to form anew and run down once again.

Yusuke wiped them away. "I love you, remember that." Brining their faces near, Yusuke kissed him. "I'll do anything for you, and you know I mean that," he said to him, vowing it. "Just tell Hiei that, and it's all done with."

There was a hint of vindictiveness in his boyfriend's voice that made him cringe. When he looked up, Kurama noticed that Yusuke's eyes were not on him, but on Hiei. "Yusuke…" The young man didn't turn away from Hiei when he muttered something that he could not decipher. Knowing that his boyfriend still held a vendetta against Hiei, Kurama pushed away Yusuke with great force. Yusuke fell to the floor, and he distanced himself. "I will not be used as a weapon by either of you!" he shouted, feeling his blood simmer. "Hiei, Yusuke… I'd rather live alone than remain like this, a trophy to be fought over!"

Kurama walked towards the door, but before he could open it he felt someone embrace him from behind. "Fox, I meant what I said to you. I love you and I refuse to let anyone else have you," he heard Hiei speak. Unable to shrug Hiei's words off, he stood still. The more time passed, the more the words affected him. Unlike Yusuke, Hiei had been telling him how much he loved him. However, for the most part, belonged to Yusuke.

Placing his head against the door, he close his eyes. "I don't know what to do," he admitted. There was a small part that was elated to have Hiei's lips on his. "Hiei, no, I can't." As the two separated, Kurama looked up to see Yusuke aiming his index finger at Hiei.
