I do not own any of the anime or real word stuff I may use in this fanfiction to farther along the store. I do not make money off writing this fanfiction.
I got a new computer. So I typed up this chapter, had it written for a while, and now it's time to post it. I don't have office yet, so I am using OpenOffice. I could not afford them both. :( At least is has spell check I guess. Okay so I believe we are on chapter 9 so that's what I will call this chapter.
Chapter 9
Darktan stood guard at his appointed location like a good general would but inside his anger was a roaring flam ready to consume him and everything, no matter how small, he was. How could the fool mess up pointing the barrel and pulling the trigger? That was what you got when you allowed the work to be done by a peasant farm boy. The fool will hand and he will buy his time until another chance came along. The would be killer did not know who hired him, only that there was a promise of a large sum of gold. He would just try again and he will be the Lord of the Western Lands.
O.O
Kurama and Yusuke were watching the general carefully. "Go talk to him. No one can resist you."
"Yusuke, I want to add to that idea," Kurama reached to the crown of his head pulling out a deep violet seed. "Can you go inside and get me a cup while I get this little guy to useable size."
Yusuke ran into the party and grabbed a glass of some youkai drink had been served in. Soon he was buy his lover's side again watching the once little seed grow around the fox's arm. Large blooms started to form and Yusuke once again was amazed buy the other man's control of plants. "What does this little beauty do, Rama?"
"The bloom at the time of it's opening can be crushed to form a truth serum. Any one who drinks it will have to tell us the truth, wither they want to or not. It works well on youkai, human, and spirits just takes just a little more prep work." Taking a bloom off the plant Kurama had Yusuke hold out the glass. Carefully the red head crushed the bloom in hand and almost as a fruit would, the bloom juiced out into the glass.
"It smells like fruit juice," Yusuke commented to his lover softly.
"And that is why it works so well." Kurama thanked the plant for it's help in their plan and returned it both to its seed form and its place into his red locks. "Stay here, I will be right back."
Darktan was surprised to see Kurama was walking up to him with a glass from the party. "Hello, it's Darktan correct?" Not waiting for a response he continued, "I'm Kurama and thought you would like something to drink as you stood out here making sure we all safe from the unseen big and bad."
O.O
Yusuke's eyes narrowed and his fist was clinched so tightly if a piece of coal were in his palm Kurama would have a new and shiny diamond. To see Kurama flirt with another, even undercover, was far too much for his control. That fox would have his mark soon if he had any say in the matter. He would kill the rat and take his fox for his own.
O.O
"Thank you," Darktan replied taking the offered glass. The idea of the heir of another lands being so thoughtful shocked him a bit but the fox clearly was flirting with him. And why wouldn't he be? He was a good looking youkai that would be willing to bend the human shell before him over the taking his pleasure out on the hanyou. Sipping the given drink as his thoughts went more toward the idea of bedding, well fucking, the man before him. "I believe I can take you right here with out any one seeing."
Kurama smirked at the youkai who had not noticed how drugged he was starting to appear. "Darktan, how are you feeling?"
"Sleepy," was all the youkai said as he slumped down to his knees.
"Yusuke, come here. " Kurama called his lover forth. "Oh dear are you doing well."
Yusuke did not speak, he gathered Kurama roughly in his arms and kissed him just as roughly. "You are mine." Kurama only nodded as his lips curled into a smirk. The outlines of Yusuke's markings were starting to form on his face and his hair was starting to fall out of place as though it was going to start growing. As soon as this had blown over they would have to escape the rest of the world for a while, just the two of them.
Pulling away slowly, carefully, Kurama turned to the drugged general. "Do you know the farmer who tired to kill Sesshomaru-sama?"
"Yes."
"Did you hire him for this task?"
"Yes."
"Why would you want your lord killed?"
"He is not my lord."
"How is that?"
"He's been gone too long. Lady Rin is my ruler for now."
"For now?" Yusuke asked with narrowed eyes at the drugged little rat.
"Soon I will have her mate removed and I will take her to be lord of the West and East. She will bow to me, she will belong only to me."
"Yusuke, we need to take him to Hiei."
O.O
Hiei left the couple composed of the ex-detective and former full blooded kitsune and returned to Sesshomaru's side. "Hiei-sama," greeted the group Sesshomaru was talking to.
"These are members of the farmer's guild that provide for the Western Lands as a whole," Rin said making eye contact with her darker father.
The next half hour continued as such. Sesshomaru and Hiei were introduced to new clan leaders and lord as they conversed with the older youkai they knew from the past. Rin had to excuse herself to check on Yuki after a few introductions. "What a kind girl you have as an heir and we have as a queen."
"Yes, Yomi-sama, I would agree," Mukuro chimed in as they approached Sesshomaru and Hiei.
"My lady," Hiei bowed his head to the lady who had taken him in as her heir and trained him not only to be stronger but to be able to understand his place in the world. Of course he would never tell her this, but it was understood that she made his life better by taking him in.
"You are in equal standing with me now Hiei, but you and I will need to discuss you position as my heir. You will come for a visit soon correct." Mukuro turned to Sesshomaru. "Of course you are welcomed to join him Sesshomaru-sama, as a member of our family."
It was at that time that Yusuke walked up to the group, "Hello everyone."
"Yusuke, it is nice to be in your presence again."
"It is nice to see you, Yomi-sama." Yusuke replied. "Hiei, Kurama would like to see you outside. Something about having harvesting seeds or something."
"Of course, if you will all excuse me."
"Yusuke you are bleeding." Mukuro commented to the Northern Lord.
Said lord licked his lower lip like the feral beast he was just a few moments before with Kurama. He must have cut it with his fangs during the kiss. "Can't seem to get use to the fangs."
O.O
Darktan was wrapped in bright green vines that appeared to be draining his youki rendering him powerless. "So he's confessed?"
"More than that. He is planning on having you, Sesshomaru, and Bufan killed. Taking Rin as his mate and becoming Lord of the West and the East." Kurama said with a look of disdain on his face. Rin was their queen now, not to mention a wonderful person, and he would not allow this scum to take her. Darktan should have known that he should have challenged the lords out right, but then it was doubtful he had a chance against any of them.
"Dungeon," was the only word Hiei said as he yanked the rat up and pulled him toward the castle. Darktan did not struggle but he was dead weight. Kurama followed the smaller youkai. "Did you ask him if anyone else in the castle was working with him?"
"He said no but I am sure by that point the Truth Bloosom was starting to wear off." Kurama answered knowing the next question.
"Can you give him more?"
"Not with out turning his brain to mush. He will be useless to us. We will have to wait for him fully recover before we can try anything else." Hiei nodded and it was not long after they reached the dungeon. The guard bowed to Hiei and looked confused to see a Western General tied up. "He drank too much. Needs to sober up a bit before we can let him go."
The guard took Kurama's lie with no question as Hiei put the general into the cell. "Don't let him out unless I am the one to order it. Don't tell anyone and embarrass the general. He will make life hell for you."
Kurama and Hiei returned to the party through the garden entrance keeping up the appearance of harvesting seeds for Kurama's collection. Soon they were once again mingling and exchanging pleasantries. "How did harvesting seeds go Kurama?"
"It went well, Yusuke. We have it all locked up. Thank you for waiting for us." Kurama smile dropped as his lover growled at him slightly. "Yusuke, are you well?"
The former detective shook his head to clear his thoughts. "I believe so. Maybe after all the excitement I have partaken too and need to lay down."
The party was all but dying as it was and people on the dance floor swayed sleepily back and forth as some dozed their heads on the tables. "Shall we head home then? Thank you for the invitation and once again congratulation both of you." Kurama bowed his head in respect and looped his arm with Yusuke's. "You know how to get a hold of us if you need us." Hiei nodded.
"It would appear that I am not the only one losing an heir to another lord," Mukuro said copying Kurama's action with Yomi's arm. "Good Night Hiei, Sesshomaru-sama. We will be taking our leave as well."
O.o
The celebration dragged on for another couple hours, but at long last it was only Sesshomaru, Hiei, Bufan, and Rin. "How is Yuki?" The dragon asked his mate.
"She is resting finally. But I may have to take to a human hospital if she doesn't show signs of improvement before the morning. The healers are doing their best but they have never dealt with a gun shot wound before. It rips and burns and tears in such a way that it hard to treat with out modern medicine. And she is just human on top of that. It is going to be a slow recovery." Rin said with a sad smile knowing that there wasn't much more she could do for her friend.
"We all should retire to our rooms then. Rin make sure that if you need to that you have a portal to cross the border with Yuki. I do not want the person that saved the Lord of the West to die for her bravery." Rin nodded like she did when she still wore the pony tail on the side of her head. She would always been in some way that little girl that followed him around the country side.
o.O
Darktan awoke with his shoulders in great pain and the musky smell of the dungeon in his nose. How had this happened? The last thing he remember was Kurama giving him a drink. That fucking fox drugged him and threw him in the dungeon. That bastard would pay for this, he would beg to be his pleasure slave. Even as a male he was too pretty to waste. (1)
"You're awake. I was almost hoping you wouldn't ever wake up again."
Darktan knew the voice of the Lord's mate and the edge on it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. "My Lord."
"Don't. I know the truth. You will die for you treason. Even if you had not confessed you would have been exiled. Your plan will never come to fruition."
"My plans? They are not my plans. You and your mate have made very powerful enemies in your time. I am simply trying to collect the bounty on your head. Kill me if you wish, I will not be the last to come for you."
"Is this where you begin to laugh like the crazy fool you are? Because I will tear your throat out if you do." Hiei's voice was laced with the power of the Dragon of the Darkness Flame wrapped around his arm. The dark energy caused Darktan to cower away like the prey he was to the dragon. "Who put the bounty out?"
O.O
"Anonymous Donner? What is this, a blood drive? Someone has to know who this benefactor is."
"Yusuke, you're vocabulary is growing just by being with Kurama. You should be proud of yourself." Rin said from her place at the head of the table, as queen. Both Sesshomaru and Hiei shot her glances that told her not to insult another lord. She sighed, she would always be their daughter. "We are too serious. We need to think outside of the box. Is this person a foe of Sesshomaru-sama, Hiei-sensei, the Western Domain, or all of us. A lot of people are not happy that the aristocratically class is still in play. We need to find out who our enemy is and take them out."
The meeting was over shortly after Rin's little speech. All retired to their own homes or rooms. Rin went to check on Yuki and the woman was doing so much better. The scar would forever mare her skin but she would be honored as someone that put their life before that of their lord's, not something that was done often anymore. She was sitting up and drinking thin soups to regain her strength.
Hiei and Sesshomaru walked silently to their room. It was the same as it had been since the night Rin believed she was tricking them into sleeping in the same bed. Rin was smart and did not have harsh electric lighting put into this area of the cathedral. Instead it used soft LEDs and as much natural light as possible. She was careful not to change anything, leaving the master suit a shrine to the fathers she loved so much even if she had so little time with them. Honestly if it were not for Bufan and her older self being there for her she probably would have hated them for leaving her. But she understood that Hiei had to leave and Sesshomaru would had gone mad waiting for him. So she was the one that waited.
Sesshomaru helped Hiei out of his formal wear, happy to have all the guest out of his house and away from his mate. There was so many different smells and scents on Hiei that he could not stand it anymore and he was going to have to do something about that. Slowly now that the both of them were undressed Sesshomaru lowered his lover and mate onto their bed and covered him with his own body. Starting with his neck he laid kisses down the smaller youkai's body making sure to give quick nibbles to each nipple.
Sesshomaru finally reached his goal, Hiei's engorged erection. Wetting his lips with his tongue, the silver haired youkai took his mate fully into his mouth. The hybrid hissed in pleasure and arched to give his mate all the room that the other would need to complete the task at hand. Soon the inu was taking his mate in and out of his mouth while using his clawed fingers to work the entrance that he soon would take with his own manhood. Hiei could feel the muscles in his lower abdomen clinch just before his came in Sesshomaru's mouth. The inu lord drank his lover down before smirking down at him. Slowly he repositioned himself so he too could take his pleasure.
Sesshomaru positioned his erection at Hiei's tight entrance and waited for Hiei to look him in the eye. He did not want to be attacked by a dragon for trying to fuck his lovely mate. Hiei bit his lower lip and Sesshomaru took that as a sign to move forward. First their movement was slow and careful only to pick up and become rough and harsh. With each thrust the two lovers became closer to their peaks. Sesshomaru's eyes were flashing red as he bent down and bit Hiei's neck where his mark already laid, and that was all it took for both of them to be pushed over the edge.
