Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from the Yu Yu Hakusho series. I wish I did, But I don't. This will be the last chapter so forgive me if it is a bit long. There WILL be a sequel to this story, that much I can promise. So without further delay... I give you the unforgettable conclusion to Fifty Shades of a Youko.

Kurama sighed contently as he glanced at the clock on the night stand next to the bed. The last time that he could remember looking at it the clock only read one thirty. But that was when Hiei had turned the tables and let him have some fun with the birthday boy. Now the darn clock read three thirty. That wasn't a long time... but when he thought about what had happened during that two hours made the fox smile. They had given each other to the other and there wasn't a roughness to either one of their touches. Hiei had been quite clear that wasn't how the relationship was going to go... and Kurama had to smile about that. He had always been so rough with him, but when he got the chance, Hiei wasn't rough at all. Except for when he bit Kurama on the shoulder. But that could have easily been forgiven because Kurama had been buried deep inside of him at that moment in time. Kurama settled into the pillows behind his head and draped his arm over Hiei's shoulder, caressing him gently. The thought of a true relationship with Hiei didn't frighten him at all. For as long as he could remember, the youko within had stayed far away from relationships. The fox didn't want to be tied down to one specific person... but Kurama smiled to think that one specific person would be Hiei. He looked so cute, half way draped across his chest and his breathing deep.

Hiei was so peaceful when he slept, Kurama knew that, for he had spent many hours before watching him sleep. Although the contract that was in place made it easy for him to take the fire demon back to his own apartment, he couldn't dare think about that now. The thought made him frown, how could he have done that in the first place. This little demon that looked so at peace, the one that showed his true colors that night... how could he have ever taken him out of his bed and dropped him off so coldly in his own bed. But then, that was just the youko within trying to keep his distance. But then, something in the air shifted. The warmth that seemed to caress them both was suddenly gone. Kurama glanced down and seen that the comforter had been dropped all the way to the foot of the bed and with a sigh, Kurama leaned back and snuggled into Hiei. At least the fire demon was able to keep warm in the sudden cold. But with a single glance at the once peaceful face, Kurama knew that the reason the air went cold was because of Hiei. The once peaceful face was now in a full blown frown, his eyes clenched closed, and his breaths coming in short puffs. Kurama frowned and shifted his body to get a better look.

"Hiei?" Kurama asked lightly as he felt Hiei's fists clench tightly on his chest and side. "Hiei?"

Hiei was unresponsive, however, the change in him grew more intense. Hiei's head turned and buried deeper into the mattress beside him, causing Kurama more worry. Kurama placed a gentle hand on Hiei's shoulder and shook him slightly. But nothing happened. Instead, it seemed to the fox that he was having a nightmare. The thought struck him, Hiei had never had a nightmare before, not to his knowledge at least. Hiei's jaw was clenched and Kurama could hear his teeth grinding together. Kurama frowned again and shifted so that he could sit up slightly. The fox was nervous as he gently shook his partner. "Hiei... Hiei wake up..."

Bad idea... for Hiei did wake up and the gorgeous red eyes were dark with fury. The hand that was on his shoulder was placed in a vice like grip and Kurama flinched. He tried to pull away but instead something else happened. Hiei had pulled him underneath him and straddled him in such a way that it was actually hurting him. Hiei's knees were pressed into his groin and stomach, his hands pinning Kurama's to the mattress above him and Hiei was staring up wide eyed into those dark red eyes. "Hiei... what is wrong?"

Hiei didn't answer but instead placed a rough hand around his throat then leaned down and bit Kurama, this time on the chest, and Kurama called out in pain. Kurama started to panic, this wasn't Hiei... Hiei wouldn't do this! What had happened to him... but the answer wouldn't come, for Hiei had bitten him again. This time Kurama shouted out as the hand around his throat tightened and blood seeped from the wound. And suddenly it was over. He looked up as tears stung the corner of his eyes. Hiei blinked as his surroundings came into focus.

Kurama shivered underneath him, Hiei swallowed hard and could taste blood on his tongue. He released Kurama and sat back on his heels looking down at Kurama. "... Kurama.."

Kurama looked up at him, this time he could see that Hiei's eyes were wide as well. He seen Hiei looking at his hands and shaking his hands. "Hiei what the hell was that?"

Hiei looked at Kurama again and visually flinched at the two bite marks on Kurama's chest, right above his heart. His breathing was labored and he was fighting to control the shaking that was suddenly sweeping through his body. He opened his mouth to say something but no words came, so he did the next best thing, he sat up and stood up off the bed. Kurama sat up and rubbed his wrists. Hiei looked at him and suddenly realized what had happened. He had gone into a night terror and Kurama had taken the brunt of it. He shook his head and watched as Kurama rubbed his throat.

"Hiei, talk to me... what just happened?" Kurama asked him, concern clear in his voice, but the pain was more evident to Hiei.

"I..." Hiei stopped and shook his head. "Kurama... I am so sorry... I don't know..." Hiei stopped again this time he just couldn't continue.

Hiei sat at the foot of the bed and kept his back turned to the fox. Kurama frowned and pushed his pain and everything else to the side. He sat up and crawled to the end of the bed and sat down next to Hiei. "You can tell me... Hiei."

Hiei flinched as Kurama's hands came into contact with his bared shoulders. He knew that Kurama was trying to calm his shakiness that was still present. Kurama's hands rubbed up and down his back as his forehead came to rest in the crook of Hiei's neck. "Hiei, please... talk to me..."

Hiei swallowed hard and unclenched his jaw. "I didn't want to tell you..."

Kurama looked up as Hiei caught a hand that had traveled around to rest on his chest. "Tell me what? Your secret?"

Hiei nodded. "When I was a little boy, the bandits that found me as a baby thought it would be fun to play around with me. At first it was just teasing and forcing themselves down my throat..."

Kurama frowned as he listened to Hiei.

"But then, when I turned fourteen, the teasing took a different turn," Hiei stopped for a moment as the memories came flashing back. He could feel Kurama's arms hold him around his waist and felt Kurama's head rest on his shoulder, almost as if he wanted to take that pain away. "When the bandits got bored one night, they decided to play a different game. Instead of just jerking around and fucking each other, they put me in the middle of it all. There were nine of them, and each one took a turn with me. They weren't gentle, in any way. They gagged me, either with a hand or someone's cock... and that was most of what I could remember. Until one night, they were passing me around. The leader of the band of thieves took me into another part of the cave that we were in... he told me not to be scared that he was going to make everything better."

Kurama felt numb as he listened. "Hiei..."

Hiei ignored him and continued, knowing that if he stopped now, then he would never be able to get it out again. "The man took me away from the others and tied me down. His bonds were tight, they cut into my wrists and my ankles. And he sat me up and forced me to suck him off. He was larger than the others and... I didn't think that I would survive it... but he made me stop halfway through. He shoved me into the ground and sat on top of me. He pinned my arms above my head with one of his hands and then held my neck as he took me. He was a demon that was able to hold out for a long time, because the sun was already in the sky by the time that he finished. He cut my bonds and then the entire band of demons left. I never saw any of them again. When I was able to move, I assessed the damage that had been done, bruises on my neck, bite marks on my chest, there wasn't a single part of my body that didn't have a mark of some kind. I wasn't able to move, every single movement was like it was happening all over again. But the smell of blood is what made me move. It was mine, and when I found the locations the only thing that I could think of was to stop the bleeding or else I would die. But I couldn't... I blacked out from the pain and by the time that I awoke again, the bleeding had stopped, the pain was gone and so was a matter of three days."

Kurama's tears fell to the bed. Just like Hiei had just done to him... to think that someone could have raped him like this and left him to die made Kurama's blood boil. But when Hiei continued, Kurama vowed that nothing like that would ever happen again.

"When I turned fifteen, the nightmares started and doctors from many different places said that a traumatic event can cause nightmares and even night terrors. The episodes that I have had have all been the same, lashing out in the same way that the monster had done to me many years before. That is how I came to kill several people, Kurama... I would either strangle them or drain them of their blood..."

Kurama blanched... he had thought something else... something else made Hiei kill people... but never in a million years would he have guessed this. Kurama hugged him close. "That is why you got into this line of work then... to satisfy the urge that was created all those years ago without hurting someone in the process..."

Hiei looked down and nodded. "I have stayed away from a full blown relationship because I didn't want to hurt anyone else... I don't want to hurt you..."

Kurama looked at him and pulled him into a tight embrace. "You won't. That much is sure... we can get through this..."

Hiei shook his head and pulled away slightly. "I can't take that risk... not now... not after what I just did."

Kurama held him, refusing to let things end because of something that could be overcome. "I don't hate you, Hiei. I am glad that you told me the truth... I want to help you... and I don't want to lose you."

"How can you say that? Now you know the truth... you know how dangerous a relationship with me could possibly be..." Hiei looked at him and seen that Kurama wasn't going to budge on the topic. "I can't hurt you, Kurama..."

"And I said that you won't, Hiei," Kurama said and pulled him closer again, he was determined to get his way. "You said that you can't hurt me, and that is the truth of the matter. There is nothing that you COULD do to hurt me, except one thing... leaving would hurt me... Hiei... I love you."

Hiei blinked and looked up at the fox. "Again, how can you say that?"

"Because it is the truth," Kurama said and kissed his forehead gently. "I have known it for weeks and tonight... well I watched you sleep and realized that was the only thing that I ever wanted to do again. I wanted to have you in my bed every single night so that I could watch you sleep so peacefully."

"Until..."

"No until," Kurama said. "Things happened in your past that I cannot change, but I can help you manage how that effects you now. Right here, is where I want to be. Holding you after an episode, even if it means I do take the brunt of it."

Hiei closed his eyes as Kurama pulled his head to rest on his shoulder. At that moment, all the fears of his life faded away into the darkness. Hiei knew that Kurama had cared about him, but never had he thought that the fox could love him. He hadn't had as many episodes while he was with Kurama, only three in fact... and tonight was the only one that Kurama had witnessed. That was the only thing that he regretted... not telling the truth sooner to avoid something like this. But then again, how was he supposed to know when the episodes would come? He never could predict them, they were always random.

"I want to ask you something, Hiei," Kurama said and pulled Hiei out of his dark thoughts. Hiei looked up at Kurama and seen that there was a bright smile on his face. "Will you be my boyfriend?"

Hiei smirked. "I would have thought the answer to that was a bit obvious..."

"That isn't an answer," Kurama stated bluntly. "I am willing to take the step to admit that I love you, and an even bigger step to ask you to be my boyfriend, and all you can do is be sarcastic about it?"

Hiei smiled leaned his head onto Kurama's shoulder again. "I have an even better idea. An even bigger step in mind..."

"Oh, yeah? And what is that?" Kurama asked as he smoothed the hair around Hiei's face.

"Will you be my mate?" Hiei asked boldly.

Kurama tensed and froze at the mention of such a word. Mates were different to foxes and he didn't think Hiei knew what that meant. "Mating is forever, Hiei."

"That's the point," Hiei said and looked up at Kurama. "I love you too, Kurama. And you are the only one who has ever been able to pull me out of a terror. That means a lot to me. I do want to be in your bed every night, I do want you to be part of my life, through the good times, and the bad. It is forever with me, or nothing at all."

Kurama smiled, he did know what mating meant to a fox. The thought actually made Kurama's innards bunch and he smiled down at the little demon in his arms. "I will be your mate, Hiei. On one condition."

"Name it," Hiei said and turned to face the fox.

"Make love to me again," Kurama said softly and pulled Hiei into a tender kiss.

Hiei wrapped his arms around the fox and laid him back, the idea of making love to the fox was like cat nip to him. He wanted the fox to cry out in ecstasy because of him. With a tender kiss and a struggle to gain control, Kurama let the demon have his way and he was taken as the mate of the fire demon. He knew that the little demon would give him his shot later but for now, Kurama was content to lay back and take every ounce of love that Hiei had to offer.

The next week was extraordinarily hectic for the new couple. Shiori had demanded to know why the two of them had called out sick to both of their jobs and was utterly shell shocked when they told her the real reason. She had taken the news about them being gay hard, but the fact that she could see how happy they were made her think that there was no other way about it. She knew that there had to be something more than a friendship and neighbor relationship going on, but she never dreamed that this was the real relationship that had formed. But after Kurama explained that they had a lot in common, that their views on the world were too similar, and that they both genuinely cared about each other, she was able to process the information a little bit easier. She vowed that she would keep their secret until they were ready to announce it themselves. However, Hiei told her that he didn't want any more secrets about them. That they were actually going to invite her and her husband and stepson to dinner to explain it to them all together. Kurama told her that if the information slipped out, then that was that. He wasn't about to hide the truth any longer, and neither was Hiei. She left feeling giddy about the whole situation. The fact that her son had found someone on equal grounds as him. The thought made Kurama and Hiei smile too. The fact was simple... they were in love, and mated, and there was nothing that was going to separate them.

The next thing that they knew was that Botan had told Kurama to expect Koenma to drop by. He had thought that Koenma would come to his work but when he showed up at their doorstep made them both think that there was something wrong.

"Nothing wrong," Koenma said to them. "I just have something that you both might be interested in knowing."

Kurama had a feeling he knew what the demon lord was talking about. But he decided to let Koenma tell Hiei that he had gone to the lord for information. Koenma must have sensed this for he turned to Hiei.

"By your mate's request, I have been doing a bit of research on your past," Koenma said and the two men looked at each other, curious as to how the news about their mating had reached Koenma's ears already. "And I found something that might surprise you, Hiei."

"What?" Hiei asked.

"You have actually met your own cousin before," Koenma said beaming with delight.

"I have a cousin?" Hiei asked. "How... when?"

"Yes you do have a cousin," Koenma said with a smile. "Four of them to be exact. And an uncle, aunt, two step brothers, a step mother, and of course, a sister and father."

Kurama's eyes widened... how the hell had that happened? He asked about Hiei's father and sister... and that many relatives crawled out of the woodwork? Kurama glanced down at Hiei and smiled to see him staring at Koenma as if he had just told him that his mother was still alive. But that was impossible considering that Hiei had actually talked to Yukina about that. Hiei was handed a file that was quite thick for the few people that were named.

"Everything that I could find on your family is in this file," Koenma said and watched as Hiei opened the file almost instantly. "And of course, the whole setting up a meeting with them is entirely up to you. I have done the research, found the answers that you could not, and now the rest is up to you."

As Hiei glanced through the file, there were a few arrest reports attached to the file on his sister. When he read what she was arrested for, he almost swooned. She had beat several people up asking for information. She had hospitalized two of them and had killed three. Then the names came up and Hiei smiled lightly. He wasn't able to get revenge on the bastards that had hurt him when he was young, but his sister surely did. Kurama watched the play of emotions cross Hiei's face after Koenma had left and sat down next to him.

"What is that smile for?" Kurama asked.

"The rumors were true," Hiei said. "I do have a sister, and she is more like me than I would have thought..."

Kurama smiled as Hiei handed him the file on his sister. Looking at the picture, Kurama was surprised, it was just a female version of Hiei. But Yukina looked so much like Hiei that he thought that he got his looks from his mother... but this young girl... wow was was almost identical. He then read the rap-sheet attached to the file. Arrest for public nuisance and aggravated assaults and even murder. But no prison time was recorded... but then he read the rest of the file...

"A public statement was posted here..." Kurama said and read it out loud. "There is no prison or institution that will hold me, not as long as I am still breathing!"

Hiei glanced at the file. He smirked and seen the part where she was wanted in three countries for escaping a prison. He was actually impressed with that. But then he seen the territories that were listed. He sat the rest of the folder on the couch next to him and leaned into see more of the file. Kurama shifted the file so that Hiei had more access to it. Hiei was skimming a line of territory names and was frowning more and more as he read.

"... she was looking for me..."

Kurama looked at him and smiled lightly. "How do you know?"

"Every one of these territories... they are all places that I have lived in for a short time," Hiei said and read the last territory. "This one... I lived there a month before I was forced to come here. Koenma told me that my energy levels would be shrouded here. That anyone that was hunting me, they wouldn't be able to track me, but then it wasn't someone that was hunting me..."

Kurama smiled lightly. "Once you came here, there was no way for her to track you... she had no choice but to give up."

Hiei looked at the timetable that showed what dates that she was in each territory. She had been to each one of the territories only a few weeks after he had left. She was so close! But then the terrors started and she really did have no choice but to give up. He smiled at the thought that his family really was looking for him.

"Our time here is coming to an end, Hiei," Kurama said. "Koenma said that my mother wouldn't see my thirtieth birthday or the few that led up to it. Which means in the next year or so, my mother will die, and we will be able to return to the demon world and track them down ourselves."

The thought saddened Hiei, for he had grown fond of Shiori. He knew that a human's life was fragile and Kurama seemed to be alright with the fact. But then again, Kurama had always wanted to return to the demon world where he knew he belonged. The thought that one day he would be reunited with his lost family made him smile. He had always wanted that, he wanted a family more than anything in this world. But Kurama was the main thing that he wanted. He wanted Kurama to be his family, and he would have been fine with that if he hadn't received this response to Kurama's request.

"So that is what you have been hiding from me," Hiei finally said as he put the pieces together. "You hid the fact that YOU were looking for my family!"

Kurama smiled lightly. "I guess my last secret from you is finally out. So I hope that you are happy with that. You will have your family back one of these days and that is what I wanted for you for your birthday."

"Do you want to know what I had wished for?" Hiei asked as he looked up at the fox.

"If you tell, then it won't come true," Kurama said to him.

"It already came true for me," Hiei said. "I wished that you could become the family that I have always wanted. And that I would be able to move on, whether I ever met my family or not."

Kurama smiled lightly at the thought of meeting Hiei's family. He knew that they would be a tough crowd to fit in with, but with Hiei by his side, there was nothing that he wouldn't do for the man that he came to love.
