Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from the Yu Yu Hakusho series. I wish I did but I don't. I am trying to come up with a good ending that will be able to be turned into a sequel... so here is the next chapter. Enjoy.

))_))_

Before Kurama and Hiei realized it, the few days had turned into a few months. Shiori had gotten to know Hiei a little bit more and decided that she liked him because he was such a sweetheart. She never once suspected that there was something going on between the two, but was relieved that her son had finally found a decent friend. She didn't like many of his friends but she found herself comfortable around the younger man. Once she had even invited him to a family dinner. He had gone and Kurama could see that his ENTIRE family seemed to like Hiei as much as he did. His two aunts from out of state had come to that dinner and seemed to be drawn to him like a moth to... well a flame. His three cousins had even come with their significant others. One even asked if Hiei was Kurama's boyfriend. Shiori had explained that they were neighbors and drawn the heat off that topic of conversation. They had left that evening feeling like they actually were a couple. But then again, the contract had brought them so close together that neither realized how long it had really been.

"When is your birthday, Hiei?" Kurama remembered his mother asking.

"October 13th," he had answered. Then Kurama realized that his birthday was actually only a few months away. Kurama hadn't even thought about what he was going to do for Hiei but then again there wasn't a real thought about time when it came to Hiei and Kurama.

Kurama had already planned one thing for Hiei's birthday. He had asked Botan to ask Koenma for information about Hiei's family. She had told him that Koenma didn't know much about Hiei's past but he would do some digging for him. She had questioned him as to why he wanted the information and not Hiei. He told her that he wasn't sure Hiei wanted to know. But that he would have no choice if the info was just handed to him. She warned him that would open a can of worms that he might not be able to handle but Kurama waved her off. He knew how to handle Hiei. For all she knew, Hiei had gotten a new job as a mechanic, which was true, and that he was able to move into the same building as Kurama. No one knew that they had known each other better than anyone thought. In fact, Kurama and Hiei had gotten so close, Kurama had given Hiei a key to his own apartment, and they always knew which apartment to go to for the night.

"What are you thinking about, Kurama?" Hiei asked him suddenly as Kurama shook out of his thoughts. He looked up and seen Hiei holding open the door to his apartment.

"Nothing in particular," he lied and hoped that Hiei wouldn't read too far into that. Hiei didn't and shrugged his shoulders.

))_))_

Hiei's birthday was approaching quickly. It was now only three weeks away, and they had planned to visit with his twin sister. Kurama had to talk him into the visit, for Yukina didn't really know the truth. She only knew that he was protective of her when he was around and that she felt a strange connection with him. However, they would only be turning nineteen years old. Hiei had admitted that Kurama had misunderstood him when he had just met her son. He admitted that he told him that he was nineteen, but told her that he only did it so that no one would question why he was out on his own at eighteen. Nor would they question him about his age too much. He looked the part and so he just had to play it until he really was nineteen, which he would be turning that year.

Shiori had been a tiny bit upset that he had turned down her idea of a party, but was alright with it when Hiei explained that his twin had him for the day. But Kurama smiled when he said that. Because it was only half true. Yukina had plans that afternoon with a few of her own friends and so they were going to have a nice breakfast with her and then the rest of the day belonged to Kurama. But Hiei was fine with that. He knew that Kurama would do the same when his birthday came around again, so he offered that night to Kurama. But little did he know that Kurama had massive plans for that night. Kurama knew that Hiei couldn't read his thoughts at work, and so he would do all of his planning when he was there. Hiei was going to be thrilled with his present and knew that there was nothing in the world that would compare to what he had planned.

Koenma was able to give him a few leads on Hiei's father and "older sister" but there wasn't much else to go on. They had both dropped off the face of the earth shortly after the scandal with Hiei's mother, and only surfaced once in a while. There hadn't been a trace of either one of them for a few years, but Koenma had promised that he would continue to look for them. But that wasn't the surprise that Kurama prepared for the most. The day would come that he knew would break Hiei. He would have Hiei forever, and that was what he really wanted. He knew that this gift would earn him Hiei's heart. There was no doubt about that. It was something that Hiei wanted, something that he knew the little demon craved... and now in just a few weeks time, Hiei would have it.

))_))_

The day before Hiei's birthday, Hiei did everything that he could to figure out what the fox had planned. But in the seven months that they had been together, Kurama had learned how to block him from his mind when he really wanted to. He had tried to read what the fox was thinking but when he reached out, he hit a brick wall. How rude, Hiei thought. He let him in any other time. Perhaps he would have to pry while the fox was asleep. But then again, he would be breaking a promise that he had made many months ago. He had read the fox's mind one night and learned that Kurama wanted more than just a contract. When they woke the next morning, Hiei suggested that the contract be destroyed and they actually become a couple. That had pissed the fox off to no end, for it was almost word for word that the fox had thought the night before. Hiei apologized for prying and swore that it would never happen again. He only swore to it because Kurama had kept his promise never to ask about his true secrets and never once had he asked.

"Just wait until tomorrow, Hiei," Kurama told him. "I can feel you trying to pry!"

"I can't help it!" Hiei whined causing Kurama to chuckle lightly. "I hate surprises! Just tell me!"

Kurama smiled and shook his head. "Nope, not until tomorrow."

"Ugh!" Hiei stood up off his couch and walked into the kitchen grumbling that the fox sucked. Kurama smiled and knew that he was suffering. He had almost considered giving him his present early, but then that would mean that Hiei wouldn't get to spend time with Yukina the next morning. That was planned weeks ago and he wasn't about to let Hiei ruin that.

The evening went on quickly, Hiei constantly begging to be told, Kurama shooting him down every time. Kurama loved to hear Hiei beg him to answer the question but as much as he loved that voice, he knew that he would love to give that present to Hiei... TOMORROW. Hiei actually went to bed alone that night, actually refusing Kurama that night. Kurama was shocked. He had hurt the little demon's feelings and knew that tomorrow morning was going to be rough. But he knew deep down that the next afternoon would make up for everything.

))_))_

The next morning Hiei had breakfast with Yukina. He had gone alone, for Kurama said that he had planning to do while he was gone. Kurama had called his driver to drive him there, to wait for him, and then to bring him back. He also handed the driver an envelope with very specific instructions. He was told not to give the envelope to Hiei until AFTER they got back and Hiei got out of the car to come back up to the apartments. One the drive home, Hiei found himself tapping his foot impatiently as the driver pulled into the underground parking lot. Before the driver let him leave, the driver called out to him.

"Oi! Ya fergot yer birthday card!" he called. Hiei frowned and took it before the driver pulled away. He frowned as he read who it was from. It simply said Hiei from Kurama. He frowned. Why would he have the driver give it to him. He turned it over and there was a second note that said open before you get home. Stupid driver gave it to him late! Oh well, he had four floors to walk up. He could just say that he read it on the way home... so he turned it over and ran his finger under the tape that held it closed. As he hit the second floor he had pulled the card from its envelope and he had begun to read.

"It's your birthday, your own special day," Hiei smirked and knew that Kurama was going for the humor. He opened the card as he hit the third floor landing. "Come here to me, your present will be."

He frowned and seen that there was another note, this one a post it note that had only a few words written on it. "I think that it is time for a little role reversal."

Hiei stopped walking halfway up the stairs as he stopped to think about what this could mean. As he continued up the stairs it dawned on him. Many months ago he had asked the fox if they would ever switch roles. But over their time together, Hiei had never been given that opportunity. He had never been given the pleasure of giving Kurama the same attentions that he had been given. But then he stopped as he hit the fourth floor landing. Did Kurama intend to give him that very thing? The very thought left him breathless. Kurama had spent countless hours torturing Hiei to his very core. He had many nights to think of what he would do to the fox should he ever get the chance. He had always wanted to top the fox... but then again, he feared that thought. What if he wasn't good enough? But then he had been taught by the fox himself... so there was little chance of error. He walked to Kurama's apartment and found the door cracked open.

He took a deep breath and walked into the apartment. He looked around and didn't see Kurama anywhere. However he did see their favorite wine sitting on the table in the living room. He walked in and closed the door behind him. He sat the keys that he had pulled out on the counter next to the card and began to pull off his jacket. "Kurama?"

There was a slight noise in the Kitchen and he frowned as he hung up the jacket. He pulled off the scarf that wrapped around his neck and hung it on top of his jacket. He took a few cautious steps into the apartment until he came to see the kitchen. Kurama stood there holding up a simple two layer cake that had a set of nineteen candles on top. "Happy Birthday, Hiei."

Hiei smiled lightly at the simple statement and knew that this cake was the very reason that he had made him go alone this morning. "So this is what you have been up to?"

He didn't mention the card, he wanted to see what the fox was going to do. But Kurama wasn't stupid, he knew his driver all to well. He was given the card and probably told to call when it was given. Hiei looked at the fox and seen that there was a smile on that soft face. "It is only a part of what I have been up to." The fox really was going to milk this out as long as he possibly could.

"I got your message," Hiei stated with raised eyebrows. "Care to explain?"

Kurama sat the cake in front of Hiei, waiting for him to blow out the candles. "I will, but first thing first... make a wish."

Hiei rolled his eyes and did as he was told. He was sure that was the last time that he would have to obey the fox that night. But his wish was simple and he had his eyes closed for a second before opening them and blowing. In one breath all the candles went out... or so he thought. The one in the middle relit itself. He frowned and blew it out again. Again it relit itself and he looked up to see that the fox was trying his hardest to hide a chuckle. Instead of falling for the trick again, he licked two of his fingers and put it out for good. Kurama smirked and knew that he was busted. So he chuckled, the sight was just too cute for him not to.

Hiei looked at the fox and then reached over for the birthday card. He slid it in front of Kurama and smiled. "Explain."

"I will in a minute," Kurama said and opened the cabinet drawer below him. "But first, I have one more thing to give you."

Hiei frowned, he didn't want anything else, just the fox on his knees begging for him to stop torturing him the way that he found himself doing more often than not. Kurama pulled out two pieces of paper and held them up so that Hiei could see what they were. The contracts. Hiei groaned lightly and then stopped when he seen Kurama turn them sideways. He pulled both sides and ripped the contracts in half. Then he turned them and ripped them in half again. He then handed Hiei the shredded contracts and smiled again. "Again... Happy Birthday."

Hiei blinked... did that just happen? How the hell had Kurama known what he would wish for? Did Kurama really want a real relationship with him? The type of relationship that he wanted? Kurama smiled at him and then picked up the card and opened it slyly.

"As for this..." Kurama smirked. "I had thought that it was self explanatory..."

"You seem to love to put secret meanings behind things that you write, Kurama," Hiei said sarcastically.

Kurama smiled as he sat the card down, walked around the counter and stood in front of Hiei. "This time there is nothing hidden in my words. I promise you that... as to their meanings... that is simple. You asked me if there would ever be a day when our roles were reversed... well that day is today."

Hiei blinked up at him and smiled lightly. "For how long though..."

"For the time being... I will give you twenty four hours," Kurama said. "Then that subject will be discussed... but until then... I am yours to command."

Hiei smiled again and took Kurama's hands into his own. He looked at the fox and knew that if tonight went well, the roles would stay this way for good. But then again, he didn't mind the other way around. But that was for another time. Hiei pulled Kurama into a gentle kiss. Kurama obliged him and opened his mouth instantly. Hiei took a step forward and then pressed Kurama into the counter. Hiei broke the kiss and smiled lightly as he turned away from the fox. He walked over to the table where the wine sat. He poured two glasses and then pushed the glasses to the other edge of the table, closer to the fire. He motioned the fox to join him on the ground in front of the fire. Kurama joined him and sat on his knees next to Hiei.

"You know... I thought of many ways to repay you for all of your tortures, Kurama..." Hiei said as he handed the fox a glass of the wine. He had already picked his up own and he tapped it softly into Kurama's. "However... I cannot bring myself to do any of them. I have a better idea in mind."

Kurama frowned and looked at Hiei. Something was different. He had thought that the fire demon would pounce on him and take him over and over until he was literally begging to stop. But that isn't what he had in mind? Hmm maybe he had underestimated the shorter demon. But then again... Hiei was able to hide things from him. Things that most likely could hurt him, but Hiei never would.

Hiei took a sip of his wine and then sat the glass on the table. He turned to Kurama as Kurama did the same. Hiei then placed a gentle hand on the side of Kurama's neck and pulled him into a kiss. Kurama could taste the wine on his lips and moaned as it mingled with Hiei's own spicy taste. Hiei slowly pulled Kurama into him until Kurama was laying in his lap. He turned the fox until he was able to lay him on the floor. He leaned down and kissed him again. He trailed kisses down his jaw and stopped at his shirt. "How much do you care about this shirt?"

"Don't really care, why?" Kurama asked but as soon as he answered Hiei ripped the shirt in half and exposed his bare chest.

He moaned softly as Hiei's lips returned to his neck and trailed lower to his chest. Hiei smirked lightly as he nipped at Kurama's rosy nipples. Kurama sucked a breath in and groaned as Hiei's hot mouth completely surrounded his nipple. Oh god... payback was such sweet revenge. And he knew that Hiei hadn't even started yet. Sensing that Kurama was ready for anything, Hiei figured it was time to let him in on his true wish. He released Kurama's nipple, much to his voiced disappointment, and then climbed over top of his partner. Kurama looked up and seen that Hiei was untying one of his belts and he felt his blood heat up. But when the belt was tossed to the side Kurama frowned. No tying him up? Where was the fun in that? Hiei repeated the process with the two remaining belts then turned to work on Kurama's. He leaned down and kissed Kurama. Kurama melted at the gentleness that came with Hiei's kiss. This made Kurama wonder what Hiei's end game really was. However, that question wasn't going to be answered any time soon.

Once his belt was removed, Hiei reached underneath Kurama's head and ran his fingers through Kurama's hair. Kurama could feel the seeds that were hidden there come loose and he frowned as he looked up at him. "... What..."

"No bonds," Hiei said softly. "No nothing, just us."

Kurama felt his heart tighten at the meaning in Hiei's words. There was something there. But Kurama couldn't place it... but at that moment, he really didn't care. Hiei slowly released Kurama's hair and then kissed him again. Kurama felt Hiei's hands grab his wrists and pull them up. Kurama wrapped his arms around Hiei's neck and deepened the kiss. There was nothing stopping the feelings that flowed through the kisses. Hiei felt Kurama's hands run down his back then pull his shirt up from his pants. He let Kurama do what he was planning and broke the kiss only long enough for the shirt to clear his head. Before Kurama could throw it behind them, their lips were connected again. This was different, neither could place what was happening. But Hiei knew. Hiei knew exactly what he was doing. The fox liked it rough, he didn't mind it that way either, but never once had they taken things slow and gentle. That was what he wanted to do. He wanted to use the one night he had to order the fox around to make love to the fox, not just fuck him.

Kurama had been pulled up to a sitting position and his shredded shirt was removed. Hiei ran his hands down the fox's stomach until he came to his pants. He unbuttoned the button and then slowly slid the zipper down until it was fully accessible to him. He broke the kiss when he encountered skin instead of a soft material. "No boxers, huh?"

Kurama smiled up at him, "What is the point?"

Hiei smiled back and leaned him back against the soft carpet. He reached down and pulled Kurama's pants off until the fox was laying completely nude in front of him. Hiei stopped and took this moment in. He could see why Kurama did this every time. The thought that the partner was nude while you were still slightly dressed was a bit of a turn on. Then another thought came to mind. Kurama always ALWAYS gave him a blowjob. He had never been given that opportunity. He knew that this was his chance. He had been told before that his blowjobs were mind blowing and knew that the fox would be pleased. So he slowly leaned down and kissed Kurama's stomach and then lower and lower until he kissed the tip of Kurama's swollen member. Kurama moaned softly at the soft touch and at that moment, Kurama knew what was coming. He never allowed it because he knew that he wouldn't be able to last with that hot ass mouth wrapped him.

"Shit!" Kurama cried out as Hiei's mouth closed over him. He groaned and told himself to relax. Let the fire demon have some fun... just don't come... just don't come... Kurama chanted in his head. Hiei smiled lightly for he could hear the mantra being chanted within the demon underneath him. That was fine, let him chant all he wanted. He knew how to bring a man to the edge then stop long enough for him to relax, and he was about to use that trick on the man that had taught him. Kurama moaned and knew that he had gotten himself into a bit of a bind. He knew that Hiei was always learning, he was only able to withstand his attentions for a little while at first, but now.. he was sure that Hiei would be able to outlast him! Hiei's mouth and tongue swirled around Kurama and Kurama arched his back at the sensation. Hiei could feel his euphoric glands begin to swell and backed off. Kurama groaned and knew what he was doing. He was going to let this torture last as long as he could. But then again, Kurama didn't see it as torture. Sure it sucked... literally, but the sensations were out of this world.

Hiei waited momentarily as he felt Kurama's release subside, then he continued. He would end the fox's torment and get on to the fun part. He pushed Kurama into his mouth and heard Kurama's gasp. The tip of the member in his mouth tickled the back of his throat and Hiei had to fight to control his gag reflex. But that was no problem, he bobbed his head back and forth, sucking harder than before on Kurama until he could hear the fox shouting out in pleasure. The fox tossed his head back and forth, enjoying the feeling of Hiei's tongue and now his teeth on him. Kurama was fighting hard not to grab Hiei by his short hair and hold him there while he released. He knew that would be his undoing, just touching him would take him over the edge. But then he felt something else that definately sent him over the edge.

Hiei had pressed his thumb to Kurama's entrance, but he didn't enter. He just pushed at the tender spot that was always sensitive, slowly massaging it with his fingers as his mouth sucked ever harder on the member that pulsed within.

"Hiei... ne..." Kurama mewed at the sensations, never having done this to him, the stars beginning to line his vision. Hiei relished that voice calling his name like that. He knew that the fox was close, he knew that for he could taste how close he was. So he would end this, Hiei pushed his thumb into Kurama's entrance and felt the fox buck into him. Kurama's voice echoed off the walls as he went over those euphoric cliffs of ecstasy. Hiei took every bit of the come that Kurama released and just for good measure, sucked a bit harder, keeping him writhing over that edge. Kurama cried out again and Hiei slowly released him, looking up into the shining eyes that were staring up at the ceiling. Kurama's breathing was labored and was coming in short hard pants. He leaned on his hips and looked down at the fox with a smile.

"Wow," Kurama managed to find his voice after a moment. Hiei smiled again at the fox as Kurama pulled him into a kiss. The salty mix of his juices and Hiei's spice was almost enough to send him over that edge again. But before he could go that far Hiei pulled away and slowly pushed back.

"How bout we go in the other room," Hiei said and knew that Kurama wasn't going to be able to stand. Kurama tried to push himself up but his arms and upper body quivered. Hiei smiled and reached beneath him. He surprised Kurama when he actually picked him up and then stood up. He knew that Hiei was strong, but to be able to stand up while holding someone else was impressive. Hiei smiled as he heard the thought and walked them into the other room. But before leaving the room, he turned back to the fire. He loved to show off for the fox and so he simply blew a breath towards the fireplace. The fire danced for a second and then slowly died out. Kurama looked at him and smirked.

"Show off," he said, and Hiei smiled. They went into the other room and again Kurama was surprised by Hiei's actions. Hiei laid him on the bed and kissed him lightly. Before he got too ahead of himself Hiei pulled back and pulled off his pants.

He then pointed to the top of the bed, Kurama obeyed and frowned. Hiei didn't even have to say anything and he obeyed. That was weird. Hiei pulled the comforter out from underneath him and then pulled Kurama towards him. He kissed him and then stopped.

"I know that you are expecting a lot of revenge," Hiei said to him and Kurama nodded lightly. "But that isn't what you are going to get from me, Kurama."

Kurama frowned as he looked at the change in Hiei's face. "Then what?"

"We are going to start this relationship right," Hiei said and laid him back against the soft satin pillows. "I am going to make love to you."

Kurama's heart skipped a beat at the admission. He had never said anything like that to Hiei. Hiei had never expected anything like this, now had he. This was what Hiei was planning for him? Making love? How odd... that was the farthest thing from Kurama's mind when he had decided to give himself to Hiei for the night.

Hiei interrupted his thoughts when he leaned down and kissed him lightly. Kurama was nervous... he had never done this before, he just fucked... but then again... there were a whole lot of firsts when it came to Hiei. He just never realized that a surprise that was supposed to be for Hiei would ever turn the tables and become a surprise for him.
