.Chapter 10: Horrible Revelation
Stop! The word trembles silently in your breath, but you can’t say it. And when his lips touch yours, you sigh, and lean in. It’s like the first bite of food after a thirty-day fast; you’re famished. A moment later you are sprawled out on your back, feeling the crush of his hips against yours, the devouring pressing of his kiss. Your hands slide up into his hair, to press him closer.
His hunger is a solid thing, grinding insistently through the fabric of his pants against your inner thigh, drawling soft approving growls from your lips. His tongue swirls inside your mouth as if he will lap you up into nothing, starting from the inside out. The dominance in him makes you weak in the knees, and with an encouraging woof, you hook your ankles behind his back.
Your body is a vile betrayer.
Doesn’t it know that you need to be strong, get stronger, become…Alpha?
Hiei’s hand is sliding between the two of you, and you’re suddenly blissfully sure that he’s going to free the end to this burning growing low in your belly. But his palm slides across the soft skin of your stomach to the juncture between your legs, and almost too suddenly, two fingers slip inside you. You release a yip of surprise, followed by a low purring growl as he moves them in a delicious friction that mimics the strokes of his body.
"Hiei, _________(your name)?" Kurama opens the door. "I smelled blood…" The last word trails off into nothing as he spots the two of you in your compromising position. Hiei’s head snaps up, and his eyes narrow menacingly at the intrusion. The heat of embarrassment taints your cheeks, mostly because Hiei has not relaxed his ministrations, leaving your face a twisted mask of surprise and pleasure.
"Get out," Hiei says coldly.
Kurama doesn’t budge, though you can see the quickening of his pulse like a tiny caged creature fighting against his skin. "Hiei, she’s bleeding. You might hurt her…the pups—" His whole body goes rigid above you, and you’re not exactly sure what your bleeding has to do with anything, but Kurama and Hiei are engaged in some sort of serious staring contest. Then between one heartbeat and the next, Hiei is gone, and your body shivers in his absence.
Coming to yourself a little, you quickly rip the sheets from the bed and pull them around yourself, effectively covering all your…assets. Kurama is watching you with cool jade eyes, and you feel insecurity working its way through you, though you let none of it show on your face. When he looks away, it isn’t to leave, but to stare at the floor and sigh heavily. Then he steps into the room and motions for you sit sit.
"Let me bandage that wound for you, ____(your name). I promise I won’t hurt you."
In fierce denial of his assumption that you are afraid, you sit down, and let the sheet slide away from your back, careful to keep most of you still concealed. You feel the bed shift under his weight as me makes quick work of cleaning you up, our wounds had split once more due to Hiei’s ministrations.
"____(your name)," Kurama said softly. "You have to let go of the sheet, or I won’t be able to get the bandage around you."
He sounds sad, you realize, and one deep breath confirms your fear. His sadness is like something cool and liquid and tangy. It brings a swift mist to your eyes. You hadn’t mean to distrust him…he was…he is…your dearest friend these days. You drop the cloth to pool about your waist, making sure there is no hesitation in your action, while you secretly wish you could apologize. You do trust him.
"Hold this end down," Kurama instructs you, and you press one free end of the bandage against your side with two fingers. He leans slightly forward as the cloth unrolls around you stomach—you can feel his warm breath against your back—switching hands half way around, so the sleeves of his shirt brush against the bottoms of your breasts. You do your best to ignore, as he seems to be doing the same behind you, winding the fabric five more times around you entirely.
"There. Take care of yourself, and don’t let that wound open again." You give him a strange look. A little blood never hurt anyone. It wasn’t even that bad a wound. And why had Hiei fled the way he had? Worst of all, what had possessed you to suddenly fear the closest thing you had to family in this place? It was like a pulse of instinct that screamed: unsafe! Just the way that something in you had screamed: yes! when what you’d wanted to tell Hiei was no.
Still, when Kurama gets up to leave, you don’t hesitate to jump up yourself and hug him. "I’m sorry," you say, "I don’t know…"
But he silences you with a quick kiss to your forehead. "The fault is mine." He walks out the door without so much as another word.
‘What’s going on here?’ you wonder. Something has your stomach curled up in nervous knots, and even as you wiggle at last into that beautiful dress, you can’t tear your mind from it.
*~*~*~*
You excuse yourself from dinner, Yusuke’s been uncharacteristically silent the entire time, and neither Hiei nor Kurama would look at you. Yusuke you can understand, the fool almost killed you so he ought to mope for a bit, but what’s going on with Hiei and most of all Kurama? Had you hurt his feelings so badly? You can’t bear the thought, it makes you feel heavy with guilt. So you excuse yourself, and slip away into one of Genkai’s empty rooms, where you sit in the dark and just pout. Childish, yes, but it feels good to give into the urge.
"Kurama, you have no right to interfere here." Your ears twitch forward as you catch the sound of Hiei’s voice, slowly coming closer.
"You know almost as well as I what could have happened. It’s dangerous."
"You may have a problem but I do not, Fox. She is mine."
"Consider," Kurama’s voice is getting darker and more urgent, "With a wound like that, she could bring down every demon within three miles upon our heads. She doesn’t need the ones who reside here to do the same. You almost took her that way, Hiei."
"Hn…"
For several moments there is silence, and you begin to wonder if perhaps they have passed you. Then a third voice joins theirs. "What’s the matter with you two?" Yusuke.
"Nothing," Hiei snarls, but Kurama jumps in.
"He should know if he’s to help us protect her."
"Know what?" Yusuke demands. You can feel your heartbeat pick up, and pray none of them hear it.
"Hn…"
"Hiei, he should know."
"Know what?!?"
"Whatever…tell the idiot whatever you want."
Pause.
"_____(your name) was injured in the woods by a werewolf. I know you’re only half demon, but surely you can smell her blood."
Another pause, filled with the slight sound of Yusuke staking a deep breath. "Oh gods! It’s…"
"Exactly. It smells like a female in heat. It’s most common with Wolf Demons, and other animalistic youkai, but occasionally an unmated female, during her first pregnancy, can put off an aphrodisiac-like scent. It’s in the blood. It means she’s unmated, and fertile. It draws every unmated male in the area towards he like a magnet, filled with the urge to mate. The smell isn’t so bad to half-demons like us, Yusuke, but Hiei almost took her in that state. He would have mated her, without a care for her pleasure or comfort."
"That’s a lie, Fox," Hiei snaps, "I was in control."
Bur Kurama presses on. "You only think you are, my friend. Remember, my notoriety was not merely in my thieving skills. The Wolf Demons are no friends of Youko Kurama, and with good reason. I visited the weaker packs whenever I caught the scent. Korunue too."
Kurama? Kurama had dome something so horrible?
"You’re serious?" Yusuke asks after a shame-filled moment of silence. You can almost hear the whisper of Kurama’s nod.
"I was in control," Hiei reiterates harshly, as if through clenched teeth.
"The only things that saved you from raping her, is the fact that she wants you, and my intrusion."
"Hn…" Hiei.
"Kurama I never knew you’d…" Yusuke cuts off.
"Those are memories I am not fond of reliving."
Another pause, though this one was short as you could feel the thick thrumming of tension to change the subject. "You said you visited the weaker packs?" Yusuke asks, you can smell his unease like burning embers.
"Yes. Sometimes Demons of the dual natures begin to imitate their human cousins too closely, choosing their leaders for political, rather than practical reasons. A pack is a unit, and so all the power stems from its head. If the head is weak, the rest become weak. The more time I spend with ___(your name) the more sure I’ve become that I can sense a weakness in her pack. They have few true Alphas, and I cannot lie, I wonder if there is any saving them at this point. There may be no Alphas left for them. A pack of human-like submissive will only destroy itself. It’s only a matter of time."
You sit in the darkness of your hideaway and feel shock. First you discover that Kurama is not the person you thought he was. He was low if he could ever take a female against her will. Only distantly your mind grazes the fact that he’d called himself ‘Youko’. It’s not the issue at hand. You could have forgiven this single indiscretion with a little time, but then he dared to call your pack weak. A grave insult in the demon world. And it means something else too. It means your security, all you have in the world, is no longer secure. It means you will never be Alpha, and you will never know what it’s like to be able to say no, and have others listen. The horror of this is almost enough to shatter you.
The darkness is suddenly too dark. You need to get out. And something is building within you, a strange feeling. It’s sort of warm, and totally scary, like a monster inside you lurking below the surface of the opaque waters within you. You jump up and run from your dark room, shoving Kurama and Yusuke aside so hard you hear them both grunt as they connect with the wall. Bursting out the back door you return to the forest. Who cares if you’re caught by another Werewolf, it doesn’t matter.
This thing inside you grows.
You tilt your head back and scream to the sky. She’ll understand you. Nose to the wind you catch the scent of the friendly pack, altering your direction to accommodate. The only thing you need right this moment is to feel safe. Every comfort you’ve wrapped yourself in until this point has been shattered. Kurama’s friendship, the safety of those you live with, your home…you realize even Hiei has failed to live up to expectations. You’d always thought he was so much more beyond the surface…and yet there he was, with nothing to offer you but his backside.
You continue to howl. Fuck the consequences. If another Werewolf should stumble across you now…gods help him.
And there it is, within that one thought; the first thick flare of anger breaks free. You’ve been upset before, annoyed with your brother, or your submissive station, even really irate at the persistence of Rai’s attention. But this is the first real bout of anger you’ve ever dealt with, and though you might have fought to stomp it out in the past, you let it roar over you, setting fire to the very marrow of your bones. This warmth is comfortable, and just this once, you sink into it. Let the others do as they will, tonight you’ll run with a pack.
