Hiei slept peacefully, quiet from the floor of the cave. The only sound in the cave was his and Kurama's breathing, mixing with the drops of water falling from the ceiling of the cave. Kurama glided across the dark cave, settling down over Hiei.
"Sleeping yet?" Kurama asked, in a low voice. "... Good... I'm hungry," he trailed his mouth down Hiei's body, nipping and biting and licking playfully as he did. I can't recover anything if my slave doesn't feed me enough... He smiled as he felt Hiei's body reacting, even in deep sleep. An elephant couldn't wake up from that sleep powder... Kurama played up his act, talking in a high, playful voice, teasing Hiei even from his sleep.
When it was over, Kurama sat back, licking the last bit of it off his fingers. He felt stronger already. He wanted revenge so badly... he gently put Hiei away, after cleaning up every last speck and drop, and he scooted across the cave, leaning back against the cool stone. How long can my slave honestly plan to refuse me sex? Kurama pouted a bit. Yes, I get to eat, which is nice, but it's the equivalent of eating a TV dinner next to a four-star meal. I need the presentation. The excitement. I just don't have enough energy to acquire a more willing slave... The more he wants it, the better the event, the more energy I get out of it...
Kurama half startled as Hiei stirred. He's stirring, already? I used enough sleep powder to knock him out for at least three sessions...
Sure enough, Hiei awoke. "... What did you do to me?" he asked, crossly, in a weak voice.
"What do you mean?" Kurama said, innocently.
"There's no way you didn't do something. I feel horrible."
That's because you're supposed to sleep for a few more hours. Kurama felt bad a moment. "Well... Maybe you need more sleep. Or... sex? That might make you feel better..."
"No way. I'm not sleeping around you. You'll do something else," Hiei said, weakly, struggling to sit up. "I don't trust you."
Kurama watched him a moment, smiling to himself. Hiei fell asleep against the wall, trying to stay awake. He supposed what he'd gotten was enough... for now.
A few hours later, once Hiei was fully alert, Kurama looked over at him. "We need to work out a plan to defeat my archenemy..."
He watched Hiei get up and stretch, heading towards the door. "I don't really care about it."
"Do you want me to make you listen? Or worse, make you fuck me?" Kurama asked, in a low voice.
Hiei turned around promptly. "I'm listening."
"I thought you might be," Kurama crossed his arms, leaning back a bit. "He's strong. Impossibly strong. Being thousands of years old, you would think I would have amassed an insane amount of power... enough to secure my coven, anyway. I was wrong. He burst into my home, overpowered me in a moment. Forced me to submit to him," Kurama's jaw clenched. "Forced ME... to... Anyway. Then, he stole my coven and left me for nearly dead. It's fortunate I had just a little bit of incubus energy left... Enough to build an elaborate trap and seduce you..." Kurama had a fierce scowl on his face, one that Hiei was studying.
Kurama looked up at Hiei and saw him looking and he touched his finger to them. "Are you... interested in something?" Kurama asked, playfully, running his finger over his lips.
Hiei flushed, looking away from him. "No."
"Were you thinking about our first meeting?" Kurama asked, eagerly.
"No."
"So. What were you thinking?" Kurama asked, frustrated.
"I was just thinking that you have a really big mouth for such small lips," Hiei left the cave, leaving Kurama to stare after him, frustrated.
He's going to make me use what little power I've accumulated... Kurama thought, angrily. Just to seduce him again, isn't he? Kurama followed him out, stretching his legs and walking around the bright forest.
Hiei would return there. He would have to. If he didn't, when Kurama got his power back, he would force him back.
Kurama strolled around the forest, looking for something to take his frustration out on. His smile widened when he found a demon passed out on the path up ahead. Kurama strolled up to him, rolling him over onto his back. He looked into the demon's cute face, clearly smirking. "Well, I may have found a solution for my problem," he stood up, carrying the demon back towards the cave.
"Mm, he's cute," Kurama stroked his face. "Ooh, he's eager too... That's a good boy," he acknowledged, looking down the demon's body. "Mm... I'm so hungry."
He felt a presence over his shoulder, and Kurama stiffened. "..." he turned and looked up at Hiei. The demon looked extremely angry, in a way that Kurama didn't understand. "... Wanna join in?" he asked, not sure why he was so nervous.
"Put the demon down," Hiei ordered in a cold voice.
"Hiei, I am an incubus. I need to eat to live," Kurama said, becoming increasingly flustered and angry. "You will not feed me."
"Against my will, I have been feeding you," Hiei said in a disgusted tone. "And if you feed off that demon, our contract is annulled."
"W-what? No. I don't do exclusivity," Kurama said, offended.
"Is he stronger than me? I hope so..."
Kurama stiffened, looking down at the sleeping demon. He let go unceremoniously, dumping them on the floor. He whirled on Hiei. "You don't understand! It's like living off of nuts and berries when you could be having a deer!"
"It's better than starving."
"How am I supposed to fight him with no power?" Kurama demanded. "And YOU don't annul our contract! You can't! That is my decision. I could turn you into my sex slave for life!"
There was a low groan from the floor of the cave that was ignored by Kurama.
"No but I can make it very, very difficult for you," Hiei looked straight at him.
"... You are so frustrating..." Kurama said, in a low tone. The figure on the floor sat up. Kurama turned to look at him, surprised. "Oh, look at him, too..."
The demon brushed his blue bangs out of his face, feeling his side for his sword. "Where is my sword?" he demanded.
"Oh, it's right over there," Kurama pointed, eagerly walking up to him, putting his arms around his neck. "But don't worry about that... Not yet. Don't you want to stay for a bit? What's your name, stranger?" His eyes are so... purple. He snuck a glance at Hiei. The demon was incensed but made no movements.
"I'm surprised you haven't heard of me..." the demon looked Kurama up and down. "I'm the great warrior, Shishiwakamaru. You're certainly a lovely looking woman..."
"Him or my cooperation," Hiei said, in a low voice.
Kurama got up, laughing. "I'm an incubus."
"An incubus?!" Shishi blurted, getting to his feet. "A male, then?"
"I'd love to see any woman do what I do..."
"Egotistical." Shishi went for his sword, putting it away on his hip. "I like it."
"A starving incubus..." Kurama sighed. "I count down the days until I can take on the demon Karasu."
"You are after Karasu?" Shishi was more intensely focused now. "What has happened?"
"He stole my coven and forced me to submit to him. I can only see them now, being forced to submit to his sick sexual desires..." Kurama trailed off, looking at the far cave wall. "I will save them at any cost."
"How many?"
"A small number. No less than 30 demons."
Shishi startled. "That is quite a coven."
"If I had picked more members, perhaps I would have been strong enough to defeat him," Kurama frowned, deeply. "As it stands now, I had only enough power to trap and deceive one demon, and I picked the most difficult demon that could have come by." he gestured at Hiei.
"I also have a grudge against the incubus Karasu," Shishi said, in a low voice. "He cornered my band of men and … well. I'm sure you can imagine where this is going. He laughed at my rage and defiance, disgust at what he was doing... he told me if I wished to challenge him, to find him and try later when I was stronger."
"The size of his coven must be truly overwhelming... no, I would never entirely force someone into my bed. Before this situation, I never did. They came to me, submit themselves to my power and prowess..." Kurama pouted. "Now I'm forced to resort to cheap tricks just to get anything."
"I will not be your slave in this... I do not prefer men..." Shishi looked away. "But I will help you fight the demon Karasu."
"I will appreciate any help I can get," Kurama smiled.
Hiei left the cave, Kurama shooting daggers at him. "Any ideas on how to defeat him?"
"I'll tell you everything I know on him, and in exchange, I want to know anything you know of him," Shishi looked up at him.
Kurama nodded, solemnly. "I think that's fair."
