So so sorry it took so long for me to update. I just got back to college and my classes started yesterday so I've been busier than I was over the summer. Better late than never so here it is: Chapter Three.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or its characters

Kokoda's eyes practically burned a hole through Hiei. The pair sat in the living room waiting for Kurama to be finished getting ready so he could walk his stepbrother to school. Kurama planned on talking to Kokoda about the exchange he had witnessed between Hiei and him the previous day. Explain their relationship to him to try to bring him on board with the engagement. But the fox was taking an exorbitant amount of time and Hiei was growing more and more uncomfortable as Kokoda stared at him with disdain. He thought how easily he could kill the boy if he chose, anything to rid him of those judgment filled eyes. But he couldn't kill him, not only was he not worth the time, but Kurama would be extremely mad and he didn't feel like listening to a lecture about not killing his human family.

"Are you ready Kokoda?" Kurama asked finally appearing in the room.

"Sure," Kokoda said. He rose from the couch not taking his eyes off Hiei.

Kurama could see the way Hiei was staring back at his stepbrother, could see the anger he was trying to suppress. "Could you wait outside for a moment Kokoda?" Kurama asked. "I need a word with Hiei."

"Sure," Kokoda said again before leaving the two alone.

"I don't appreciate you looking at my brother that way," Kurama scolded Hiei. "You're not to harm him."

Hiei scoffed. He may as well have killed the boy if he was going to receive the lecture either way. "Did I do anything to harm him?" Hiei asked.

"I've known you long enough," Kurama said. "I can see it in your eyes."

"Can you see in his eyes that he hates me?" Hiei asked.

Kurama moved to sit next to Hiei. "He doesn't hate you," he said. "He's just confused about what's happening." Kurama sighed. He had intended on convincing Kokoda of his relationship with Hiei, not convincing Hiei of it. He massaged Hiei's knee lovingly. "I love you, but I have to be fair to Kokoda as well. That said if after I speak to him he still doesn't approve…" Hiei looked at Kurama, his crimson eyes laced with concern. Would Kurama really cast him aside if his stepbrother, who he barely knew, didn't approve? "He'll have to get over it." Kurama smiled, removing any concern from Hiei's mind. "I have to go. I expect it will take some time for him to come to terms with it and I don't want us to be late for school."

Hiei kissed Kurama. "Good luck."

Kurama rose and walked out of the house to join his stepbrother. "Sorry about that," Kurama apologized. "Let's go." The two walked in silence for some time before Kurama spoke. "I'm sure you're wondering why I asked to walk with you to school this morning." Kokoda said nothing. "What you saw yesterday, with Hiei and me…"

"We don't have to talk about it," Kokoda said.

"I think we do," Kurama said. "Hiei is my fiancé; I know that must come as a shock to you as you've never seen him around the house before, but I am in love with him."

"I don't care that I've never seen him before," Kokoda admitted. "I just didn't know that you…" Kokoda's eyes moved to look as far from Kurama as possible. "I didn't know you were…gay."

Kurama laughed softly. "Is that what this is about?" he asked.

"Just forget it," Kokoda walked faster.

"Kokoda," Kurama reached forward to grab the boys arm, stopping him. "I didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just the thought of my orientation being what caused your alarm didn't cross my mind."

"What did you think the problem was?" Kokoda asked.

"Honestly, I'm not sure," Kurama admitted. "I suppose seeing me kissing any stranger in our home, regardless of gender." Kurama had lived so long and done so many things with demons and apparitions of all genders that he honestly hadn't even considered that he would be considered a homosexual. "So it bothers you that Hiei is a man?"

"I just don't see how it doesn't bother you," Kokoda said.

"Why would it bother me?" Kurama asked. "He cares for me, I care for him. I'm more than happy to marry him."

"But like when…" Kokoda paused. "I mean you're like the bride right?"

"I think we'll both be grooms," Kurama said.

"But you're like the girl…when you…"

Kurama saw how uncomfortable Kokoda was as he spoke and instantly realized what he was referring to. His stepbrother was inquiring about his sex life and role. He hadn't prepared for this. "Oh, um…" Kurama felt his face growing bright red. How was he supposed to explain this to his stepbrother? As a stepsibling was this even an area he was allowed to discuss?

"I just figured because he seems more, I don't know, masculine than you," Kokoda said.

Kurama smiled. He couldn't argue with that, he was definitely the more effeminate of the pair. It was pretty clear to anyone that he would be the bottom in their relationship. But despite all the times Hiei had visited and the obvious lust they had for each other they hadn't yet taken their relationship to that level. They had been sating their desires only with hand jobs and frot. But he knew that that was something that did not need to be shared with his stepbrother. "Well truthfully, we haven't had that sort of relationship yet…but when we do I can only assume that you are correct and I will take on the, um, more feminine role." How had this conversation gotten so off course? Kurama's face was hot as he thought of what other questions Kokoda could possibly ask. He had to get the conversation back toward Kokoda's acceptance of the relationship rather than its intimate details. "But you needn't worry. Whatever happens between Hiei and me it will be something that we're both very comfortable with and something that won't affect your life in any way."

Kokoda looked skeptical as they arrived at his school. "Well I guess I'll see you at home," he said.

"Kokoda please," Kurama said. His patience was wearing thin. He had planned to make this boy accept his choice to marry Hiei and he intended to keep to his plan. And if Kokoda would not accept it he would simply have to learn to be tolerant because Kurama was marrying Hiei. "I can't make you alright with me marrying Hiei or with him being a man, but I'm telling you right now that I have not done this to punish you or to alter your life in anyway. I am marrying him because I am in love with him, because he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him and it was an offer I could not bring myself to refuse. He has been in my life longer than you have and I will not abandon him for you." He stopped for a moment before speaking again quietly. "He's been abandoned too many times and he doesn't deserve it."

"Fine then, pick your stupid boyfriend," Kokoda turned to enter his school. Kurama grabbed his arm again, tighter than before. Tighter than he had intended. "Shuichi that hurts!" Kokoda pleaded into Kurama's eyes finding them to be sterner than he had ever seen before. Kurama was not going to let this human child keep him from being with Hiei. He was staying in the human world for his mother's sake, but not for the sake of this relatively new stepbrother. He realized it no longer mattered to him if Kokoda was on board; the only people he needed to accept him were Hiei and Shiori. "Shuichi?"

Kurama released him. "Have a nice day at school," he turned away and began to walk toward his own school.

"Shuichi wait!" Kokoda called after him. Kurama turned to look at him again. "What do you mean he's been abandoned?"

Kurama sighed. The discussion had gotten so derailed he had forgotten to tell Kokoda anything about Hiei and his relationship. "Hiei has no family, no home. After our marriage I was hoping that he could share in our family and our home. With your approval of course."

Kokoda was silent, seemingly deep in thought. "He's nice to you?" he finally asked.

Nice wasn't exactly a word to describe Hiei, but he was never cruel to Kurama as he was to others. "He's very good to me," Kurama said.

"And you're sure you love him?"

Kurama nodded. "Absolutely."

"Well…I guess he can live with us then," Kokoda said. Kurama smiled. Two simple, yet thoughtful questions and he finally had his approval. "But do you guys have to kiss in the kitchen?"

"I think we can work on avoiding that," Kurama laughed. Kokoda nodded before heading into his school. Kurama exhaled deeply. The exchange may not have gone as planned, but the outcome was exactly what he had hoped for.

Kurama sat in his bedroom working on homework. After school he had been excited to tell Hiei about his conversation with Kokoda and that he had received his blessing, but when he arrived at home he found Hiei was not there. He had waited for him to return, had dinner with his family with no excuse for his fiancé's absence, and now sat distracted and frustrated wondering when the fire demon would return. He checked the clock and saw that it was almost midnight, Hiei wasn't coming back from wherever it was he had gone. He sighed, closed his books, and readied himself for bed. As he stripped down to just his boxers he sensed a familiar scent enter the room. "Where were you?"

"I'm sorry for leaving without telling you," Hiei now stood in front of Kurama's window. "You were at school and…I couldn't sit around locked up in this house all day."

"Where did you go?" Kurama turned to look at him. "Did you talk with Mukuro?"

"Not yet," Hiei said. "I didn't travel to Makai. I simply went out."

"Well you could have left a note," Kurama said disapprovingly.

"I'll be sure to leave one next time," Hiei said. Kurama pulled back the covers and got into bed. "I'm here now. What did you need me for?"

"I didn't need you for anything in particular," Kurama said settling into a comfortable position. "But it's not typical for someone's houseguest to just disappear. When my parents asked where you were I had no idea what to tell them."

"You're very quick, Fox I'm sure you came up with something," Hiei said.

"That's not the point," Kurama sighed. "If you're to be a part of this family I need you to be present. That means being there for things like dinner."

"I'm sorry, Fox," Hiei apologized. "As I said I'll leave a note and I will try to be there for your important human family things. Now do you plan on telling me how things went with your stepbrother?"

Kurama looked at his lover, there was clearly no more reason to discuss his absence any further as he couldn't possibly see the importance of something as simple as attending a family dinner. "Do you plan on standing there all night?"

Hiei flashed to join Kurama in bed. "What did he have to say?" Hiei asked.

"Apparently the issue he has with us being together is that he didn't know that I was interested in men," Kurama said. "It makes him uncomfortable that I'm gay."

Hiei nodded as if he had known all along. "That's understandable."

"But I didn't even know that I was gay," Kurama stated. "I've been with men and women never considering what gender they were, just that they were sexually appealing to me."

"The way most demons live," Hiei said. "But now that you've become a human you have to realize that you're going to be given human labels." Kurama was surprised by Hiei's insight. There were very few things that Hiei knew about the way humans socially lived. "Give me credit; I do know some things about your precious humans."

"I'm impressed," Kurama said.

"Did you resolve the issue?" Hiei asked.

"We did," Kurama said. "He just wanted to know that you were kind to me and that I was sure I love you."

"And you are?" Hiei asked looking into Kurama's eyes.

"You know I am," Kurama moved closer to snuggle against Hiei. "I love you." Hiei pulled Kurama in tightly, placing a soft kiss on his forehead. He loved hearing those words from Kurama even if it wasn't always easy for him to return them. Kurama didn't care if he said them or not right now, he just loved being able to be close to Hiei like this. Relishing in Hiei's touch he leaned in and kissed him. Their tongues intertwined within their mouth as Hiei pushed against Kurama to position himself on top of the fox. They kissed like this, grinding against each other both of their erections growing beneath their clothes. Kurama threw his head back breaking their kiss. "I hardly think this is fair. You fully clothed and me in only my underwear?"

Hiei continued to grind against the fox. "You're just trying to get me naked." Kurama nodded, biting his lower lip. In an instant Hiei had gotten up, stripped down to his boxers, and returned to his position between the redhead's legs. He kissed Kurama roughly again, thrusting against him wildly. Kurama's hands desperately clawed at Hiei's back, leaving scratches down the muscled flesh. Hiei growled with pleasure as the fox's nails pierced his skin. "Kurama!" He kissed and bit at Kurama's neck causing the taller man's nails to dig deeper into his back as his pleasure increased. Soon the heads of their erections had freed themselves from their boxers and rubbed harshly together causing both men to moan and shudder against each other. Kurama's hands groped for the waistband of Hiei's boxers and tugged them down his thighs releasing his aching erection. Hiei's mouth trailed from Kurama's neck to his nipple where he licked and nipped sending waves of pleasure throughout the fox's body.

"Hiei!" Kurama breathed gripping tightly at his lover's ebony hair trying to hold him in place. But Hiei continued to bring his mouth lower down Kurama's body in a trail of kisses ending just above the waist of his boxers. Kurama's body shivered as Hiei ran his tongue along the sensitive flesh of his abdomen. "Oh!" Hiei's crimson eyes looked up at him with lust as he watched Kurama squirm. "Please don't tease me."

"You spoil all my fun," Hiei smiled weaving his fingers into the waistband of Kurama's boxers and pulling them off. His face lingered near the fox's weeping cock. Kurama watched with anticipation as Hiei's tongue swirled to clean the pre-cum from the slit of his penis. The moans that came from Kurama's throat were like music to his ears, the most sensuous sound he could imagine. Hiei's attention did not stay on Kurama's penis as he continued his journey south. He grabbed Kurama's thighs tightly; kissing and biting them. He found he could bite Kurama harder on his thighs without inflicting pain. Quite the contrary the harder he bit the louder the fox moaned. His tongue ran along his inner thighs and he eventually found himself dangerously close Kurama's tender, pink opening. He looked up at Kurama and saw that his head was tilted back paying no visual attention to what the fire demon was doing. Hiei nervously massaged a finger against the sensitive flesh of Kurama's entrance.

"Oh!" Kurama moaned arching his hips toward him. Hiei had never touched him there before and he could not believe how amazing it felt. His whole body was coursing with pleasure. Giving himself over to it he grinded against the finger, working with Hiei to intensify the sensation even more. Taking the hint that Kurama was enjoying himself the nervousness faded and Hiei pressed his finger shallowly into Kurama's opening. "Wait!" Kurama sat up slightly to grab Hiei's arm, stopping him from pressing any further. Hiei's scarlet eyes shot up to his lover. He felt confused; Kurama had been moaning and moving in a way that Hiei was sure meant he wanted him to go further. Hiei pulled his hand away, breaking his arm from Kurama's hold.

"I'm sorry," Hiei looked away. "I…I thought you were enjoying it."

"I was," Kurama placed a hand gently on Hiei's thigh. "It felt wonderful." Hiei's brow furrowed in confusion. "We just need to talk about something."

"If it's something I've done," Hiei said.

"I'm not angry with you Hiei," Kurama assured the fire demon.

Hiei looked back at Kurama. "Then what?"

"I…" Kurama stopped. He had to think of how he wanted to phrase this. Hiei sat staring at him, waiting for him to say anything. "Have you ever…been intimate with someone before?"

"Of course I have," Hiei sounded offended. Is this why Kurama had stopped him? Because he thought Hiei too inexperienced? Had he really been doing that poorly touching the fox?

Kurama could sense that Hiei was upset. "Angering you was not my intention," he stated.

"Hn," Hiei scoffed. "I don't see how my past is any of your business. I've no interest in asking about yours."

"I'm not sure we have the time to discuss mine," Kurama said quietly. He instantly wished he hadn't. He saw that Hiei was scowling even more so now. "I was only curious."

"Well yes, I have been intimate," he said these last words clearly mocking the other man. Kurama nodded, but didn't say anything. Hiei sighed. "Though not nearly as frequently as you."

"Actually, that's why I asked," Kurama admitted. "You see while Yoko has a…you could say sorted history, Shuichi is…untouched." He quickly glanced at Hiei to gauge his reaction. Hiei's face remained unmoved, as if he had not yet processed what Kurama had just said. Kurama was not prepared for this underwhelming reaction. He had expected to hear laughter or doubt or anything other than what Hiei was presenting him with now. Nothing. "In this new body, I am a virgin." He restated himself hoping it would elicit some reaction from Hiei. Still nothing. "Hiei, please say something."

"I'm sorry I just don't see how this affects me," Hiei finally said. "You are not a virgin. Surely you still remember how to…"

"Yes," Kurama said flustered, he could feel his face growing warm. "I know how to, but this body has never been…" He was at a loss for words.

"And?" Hiei asked, knowing what Kurama was trying to say. What did it matter if this new, human body had never been fucked before? Kurama had done it so many times in his old form that Hiei was sure he would perform well.

"And I'm not sure how Shuichi's body will react," Kurama said. Hiei wasn't seeming to understand. Kurama chuckled. "I take it you've never bottomed before."

Hiei's face showed a flash of anger. "Of course I've never bottomed before," Hiei almost growled. "Do you think I would allow a man to…?"

"Well that's precisely what I'm going to allow you to do, isn't it?" Kurama asked. "I find no shame in this act, Hiei. I understand your hesitation, but I've found it quite fulfilling in the past and am looking very forward to doing it with you."

"Then where does the problem lie?" Hiei asked. He was growing irritated with these circles Kurama was talking in.

"I assumed you had never been the bottom because if you had been you would know what a physical ordeal it can be," Kurama stated. "Although it can be quite pleasurable, and I feel with you it will be, I cannot be sure. I've no idea how this body will respond to the intrusion or if it will be too painful to bear."

"Painful?" Hiei asked, his expression softening. "I have no intention of hurting you, Fox."

"I know it will not be your intention Hiei, but…" Kurama couldn't believe this. Had Hiei truly never taken his lovers into consideration? Did he not realize that he had probably caused all of them some amount of pain when he had had sex with them? "It's not of your concern. I apologize."

"Fox, if I am going to cause you pain I'd like to know what I can do," Hiei said. He placed his hand softly on Kurama's cheek, stroking his red hair softly in an attempt to comfort him.

"I'd like to wait," Kurama said placing his hand on top of Hiei's.

"Of course," Hiei nodded. "I'm sorry if I rushed you into thinking it must be tonight. Whenever you're ready."

"I'd like to wait until after the wedding," Kurama stated.

"The wedding?" Hiei looked confused again. "Why?"

Kurama sighed. "It's not just the pain that's kept me waiting, Hiei," Kurama admitted. "I could have bedded any school girl I chose with no pain whatsoever."

"Then why?" Hiei asked. And what did their wedding have to do with anything?

"As I'm sure my mother will tell you I was a difficult child," Kurama said. Hiei looked at Kurama intently as he listened. "Well when she fell ill I tried to do everything in my power to become the perfect son. I wanted to make up for giving her such a hard time in my youth and do anything I could to make her happy and proud. So I figured that the perfect human son does not philander around as he pleases the way Yoko had. So I fought my adolescent urges and have remained chaste. Whether Shiori is aware of this or not I'm not sure, but over time it became something I was doing for myself as well. It's not just about being the perfect son anymore, but about moving away from my old ways."

"Hn," Hiei interrupted Kurama with scoff.

"You think I'm a fool," Kurama stated looking down at his hands.

"Not at all Fox," Hiei said. He hooked a finger under Kurama's chin, lifting his face to look at him. His green eyes looked soft and sad. He felt judged by Hiei and the fire demon could see that. "You have virtue." He ran his thumb along Kurama's jaw. "Shuichi has virtue. And that is something to be admired." He placed a soft kiss on the fox's lips. "We will wait as long as you like."

"You're sure?" Kurama asked. "I know that I have no business asking you to take on my ways."

"Please Fox, I have moved to the human world with your human mother," Hiei pointed out. "I think I have more than agreed to take on your ways."

"Thank you Hiei," Kurama smiled. Kurama threw himself against Hiei in a passionate kiss. His hands rubbed against the smooth, muscled skin of Hiei's chest as their tongues fought against each other.

Hiei turned his head away from the kiss. "I should leave you now," he said.

"Leave?" Kurama kissed at Hiei's cheek trying to pull him back into the kiss. "Why on earth would you leave me?"

Hiei faced Kurama. "I wouldn't want things to get out of hand," he said.

Kurama looked at his lover in disbelief. "Get out of hand?" he repeated. "If I was going to allow you to get out of hand Hiei, you'd be having your way with me right now." Kurama's lips met Hiei's again before Hiei pulled away.

"I'm serious Fox," the fire demon said. "I should really go."

Kurama backed away slightly from the other man. "Nothing's changed Hiei," he said. "We can still do everything we did before. We just can't take things further." Hiei sat silently, not looking at the fox. "Well I have no intentions of letting you leave and I intend to be satisfied." He paused. "And to satisfy you." He reached out and grabbed at Hiei's exposed member, quickly stroking it back to full length. "Do you still wish to leave?" Hiei moaned and thrust into Kurama's hand, not answering the question. "I'm sorry; do you still want to leave?" Kurama sped his rhythm, leaning in to kiss Hiei again. Hiei returned the kiss pushing his tongue past his lover's lips. Kurama moaned against Hiei's mouth trying to keep a steady rhythm, pumping the man's erection. "Don't you want to touch me Hiei?" he asked breathlessly. Hiei placed his hand behind Kurama's neck pulling him deeper into the kiss. "No?" Hiei didn't respond. He was growing frustrated with Kurama breaking from his kiss. He pulled him in further, grabbing his hair tightly trying to ensure that he would not pull away to speak again. "Fine." Kurama's speech was slurred by Hiei's lips. To Hiei's surprised Kurama pushed deeper into the kiss. He pumped Hiei's member more erratically now, but it made no difference to Hiei. Kurama had definitely not lost any of his skills from his previous life. The sensation of Kurama's soft palm tugging at his manhood was overwhelming. Now it was Hiei who broke the kiss to cry out as Kurama's thumb moved to rub against the sensitive head of his penis.

As Hiei looked at Kurama he saw that both of the man's arms were busy pumping. He looked down and saw that Kurama was working at his own member as well, pumping both of their erections in synchronism. "Kurama…"

"Well you wouldn't touch me," Kurama moaned. "I had to take matters into my own hands." He inhaled sharply with pleasure. "Quite literally." Hiei's eyes filled with hunger as watched Kurama at work. He wrapped his hand around the hand Kurama had secretly placed on his own member during their kiss. Both of Kurama's hands stopped pumping as he looked at Hiei.

"No, don't stop," Hiei said. With his hand around Kurama's he began to pump moving Kurama's with it, forcing the fox to jerk himself off. Kurama moaned as he resumed his work at Hiei's erection. Hiei was always in control of things when they were in the bedroom and Kurama had no problems with that. He loved being taken control of by Hiei. Yoko had never fully allowed a man to dominate him the way Hiei dominated him now. "You like that Fox?"

"Yes," Kurama panted. "Hiei, please. I want your hand on me." Hiei allowed Kurama to pull his hand away quickly replacing it with his own rough palm. At first Hiei moved his hand to match the pace Kurama had already set, but as passion flooded through both of them their hands fell out of sync and worked at their own lust filled paces. Kurama's hand moved smoothly over Hiei's sensitive flesh in a rhythmic pace while Hiei jerked Kurama in quick, rough movements. Their mouths and tongues were tangled between them in a kiss as they gasped and moaned against each other. "Oh, Hiei! I'm…"

"Oh," Hiei groaned. "Fox, I…" In an instant they felt the warmth of each other's seed spill onto their stomachs. They sat leaning against each other, their bodies covered in sweat and semen, panting. "I love you, Fox." Hiei moved to look into Kurama's eyes. He looked into them as if to make sure he hadn't offended the redhead with his words.

"I love you too Hiei," Kurama smiled. He knew how difficult those words were for Hiei to say. Each time he said it Hiei checked to make sure it was still okay to say them. Kurama kissed him. "I will always love you." He saw a glimpse of a smile grace Hiei's lips although the smaller man tried to hide it.

"Well, I should go now," Hiei said. "Your mother insists I sleep on the couch."

Kurama smiled. He was glad Hiei was willing to follow the rules. "She does," he agreed. He moved away from Hiei to allow him to leave. Hiei pulled his boxers up before rising from the bed and retrieving the rest of his clothes. Kurama reached out and grabbed his hand. "You're sure you don't mind waiting?"

"Don't worry, Fox," Hiei said. "You have more than enough ways to keep me satisfied." He kissed Kurama quickly. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight," Kurama smiled as Hiei left him alone in his room. He sighed as he looked at his disheveled bed. His hand gently touched Hiei's side of the bed. He recognized these feelings; he had felt them so many times when Hiei would disappear to demon world. He reminded himself that Hiei had not left him for Makai and that from now on when he did he would always come back to him, as his husband.

So yes, Kurama is a virgin. Looks like if you all want to get to the steamy steamy lemon you're going to have to read up until after the wedding (this totally isn't a way to trick you into reading my whole story...). But don't be fooled, there will be plenty of steaminess leading up to the wedding! We all know Hiei and Kurama can't keep their hands off of each other... Let me know what you thought of the chapter. Liked it? Hated it? Leave a review! Flames are always welcome.
