As you can probably tell I’m trying to wind this one up, but it’s not quite over yet. As a reward for the wait, I won’t leave you with a cliffy this time. Hiei’s actions will be a little odd but bear with me, I’ll explain in the next chapter. Hope you enjoy and as always thanks for reading and reviewing.
ENEMY AMONG US
Chapter 11
Dropping his head down to his desk with a bang, Kurama wracked his brain on how to get out of the office with the least amount of embarrassment. Wrapped up in his dilemma, Kurama didn’t even hear the knock at his door. Only when his stepfather’s voice penetrated his thoughts did he look up in surprise.
Looking at the obvious misery on his stepson’s face, Kazuya Hatanaka couldn’t help but laugh as he stepped into the office and closed the door. “I assure you Shuuichi, it really isn’t as bad as you think. Though you’ve never said a word to any one about your sexual preference, including your parents, everyone has suspected for years that you were gay.”
Cringing at how blunt Kazuya was being, Kurama began packing his briefcase as a distraction. “Suspecting and seeing, “one sexy hunk of man” to quote Kayla, walk in and kiss me for the whole world to see, are two very different things Father. We also can’t forget that my father walked in on us in a rather compromising position. Add in what Kayla probably heard, and I can honestly say I have never been so embarrassed my whole life.”
Hard as he tried, Kazuya couldn’t keep the amusement from his voice. “I for one am enjoying seeing my impeccably perfect son knocked off his pedestal for a change. It makes you appear a bit more human. Now, close that thing up and let’s go home. I’ll act as your body guard and shield you from your broken hearted admirers. Unless of course you intend to continue to hide out in here until the building empties.”
Closing his briefcase, Kurama pouted. “It had crossed my mind, but I think I’d rather go home so I can finish plotting my revenge on Hiei.”
With a smile, Kazuya opened the door and waited for Kurama to pass. Pasting on his usual pleasant smile, Kurama nodded to his secretary. “Goodnight Kayla. Have a good evening.”
Kurama could see the woman try to control her smile. “Goodnight Mr. Minamino, Mr. Hatanaka.”
As they passed between the desks, Kazuya placed a hand on Kurama’s shoulder and asked him loud enough for all to hear. “Your mother was wondering if Hiei would be able to join us for dinner tonight?”
Knowing that his stepfather was trying to make it appear normal for him to have a boyfriend, Kurama shrugged as if it was nothing. “No, I don’t think so. He was going to his sister’s.”
Kurama was surprised when Kazuya boldly raised an eyebrow at one man who was staring at the redhead with a smirk. Knowing better than to incur his boss’s wrath, the man prudently looked away. “That’s too bad, she was looking forward to spending more time with the two of you.”
As they went through the glass doors to the outer office to wait for the elevator, Kurama suddenly stopped and looked at Kazuya. “Father, when did you talk to mother?”
Not meeting his eyes, Kazuya grinned. “A little after lunch.”
That meant Shiori knew all about Hiei’s visit to the office today. As they got on the elevator, Kurama closed his eyes and wondered when this nightmare of a day would end.

Dinner that night had been uncomfortable to say the least. Hiei had wisely stayed away, so Kurama had been forced to bear the brunt of his parent’s teasing and questions alone. By the time he’d gone up to his room, the redhead was exhausted. Wanting nothing more than to crawl in bed and pull the covers over his head, Kurama contemplated what to do.
Ever since he and Hiei had become lovers all those years ago, Kurama had taken to sleeping in the nude, as he had in the past as a Youko. Knowing that Hiei would probably show up at some point, and not wanting to complicate matters more than they already were, Kurama changed into a pair of sleep pants and a t-shirt before getting in bed. With a yawn, Kurama wondered if he’d be able to stay awake until Hiei put in an appearance.
Outside the bedroom window, Hiei waited until the light had been off for an hour before creeping into the room. As he hoped, Kurama appeared to be asleep. Still in the clothes he’d worn earlier, Hiei tossed his leather jacket on the chair before going to the bed. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Hiei looked down at Kurama’s beautiful face, bathed in moonlight from the window.
Reaching out to brush the red hair from his lover’s face, Hiei suddenly found his arm grabbed as he was flipped and pinned to the bed. Hiei smirked. The sly fox had been playing possum. Even in the almost dark room, Hiei could see the angry look in Kurama’s green eyes. “Damn it Hiei, what the hell were you thinking today? I work with those people! In fact, I’m their superior and you made me look like a love struck fool in front of them!”
Perched astride Hiei’s waist, Kurama released his hands and reached out to turn on the lamp. As Hiei opened his mouth to respond, Kurama cut him off. “Don’t give me that crap about staking your claim either! That would be the act of a jealous lover, and we both know that I’m not yours to be jealous over any more!”
With a sigh, Hiei began to get annoyed. “Who’s fault is that Kurama? You broke up with me, I didn’t break up with you. If you’ll remember, I’m not the one that gave up on our relationship.”
Hurt filled Kurama’s eyes as he turned away and crawled off Hiei to sit at the edge of the bed. “No, but you weren’t there for it either. Just like you weren’t there for me. Over and over I tried to make things work between us, but every time I was disappointed.”
As he sat up, Hiei’s voice was full of sadness. “I’m sorry I was such a disappointment to you Kurama, but you disappointed me too. You said you loved me, but in the end, even you threw me away.”
Kurama’s head whipped around and he gasped. “Hiei no!”
Hiei however wasn’t listening. He’d already moved off the bed and was putting on his jacket. Turning back, Hiei saw the unshed tears welling in Kurama’s eyes. With a sigh, Hiei’s shoulders slumped in defeat. “I’ve done everything you wanted Kurama. I gave up everything to put you first. I’m here in the human world for you and I’m not leaving. I just don’t know what else to do. I’m beginning to think nothing I do will ever be enough. When you figure it out, you let me know.”
Kurama sprang up from the bed, but he was too late. Hiei had already flitted out the window and was gone. Clutching the edge of the window, Kurama’s heart ached so much his legs gave out from beneath him and he slid to the floor. Burying his head in his hands, Kurama gave in to his sorrow and cried.

Not having the strength or will to move, Kurama had stayed on the floor by the window all night. At sunrise, he stumbled to his feet and went to the bathroom to shower. Like a robot running a program, Kurama dressed and got ready for work. Not wanting to face breakfast with his parents, he stalled until the last minute before going downstairs.
Knowing his mother would suspect something was wrong, Kurama quickly kissed her cheek, apologized for running late, and rushed to get in the car with his stepfather. Thankfully, Kazuya was distracted with driving and he made it to work without question.
Thinking only of his aching heart, Kurama ignored the occasional snicker he heard as he passed through the outer office and went straight to his office. Pulling out his laptop, Kurama buried himself in work. As lunchtime approached, Kurama’s heart began to pound. Though he knew Hiei wouldn’t come, his traitorous heart still held hope.
By Friday, Kurama gave up hoping that Hiei would return. Knowing the next move was his, Kurama made a decision. Rising from his desk he went out to his secretary’s desk. “Kayla, I’d like you to clear my schedule for next week. I have some personal issues I have to take care of.”
Kayla grinned. “I hope it has something to do with that hunky guy you had lunch with the other day. I’d like to think at that least one of us had someone that hot to go home to.”
Luckily, Kayla had been his secretary for almost three years and Kurama was used to her brash comments. Smiling, Kurama nodded. “I hope so too Kayla.”
Before he could go back to his office, someone coming through the doors from the elevator caught his eye. From the silence that came over the office, his wasn’t the only eye the newcomer caught. Muscular thighs were tightly held by tight blue jeans. A tight red t-shirt strained to cover a broad chest, revealing just a hint of washboard abs. Slung casually over the man’s shoulder was a faded denim jacket. With a wave, the gorgeous man smiled and called out. “Hey Ku… Shuuichi!”
Beside him Kurama heard Kayla gasp. When he turned, she gave him a look of utter disbelief. “This is so unfair! Two in one week?”
Kurama couldn’t help but laugh as his friend finally reached him. “Hello Yusuke. What brings you downtown in the middle of the day? Shouldn’t you be at work?”
Yusuke shrugged. “I’m playing hooky, and I’m here to get you to join me. Come on Fox-Boy, I’ll treat you to lunch.”
Shaking his head, Kurama smiled. “That must mean we’re going to the ramen shop.”
Wiggling an eyebrow, Yusuke grinned. “Among other places.”
Looking at Kayla, Yusuke leaned down on her desk. “Honey, you might want to clear his schedule for the afternoon. I doubt he’ll be back today.”
Turning back to Kurama, Yusuke took his arm and headed towards the door. They hadn’t gone three steps though before Yusuke stopped and whispered. “Hey Kurama, why’s everyone staring at me like that?”
Looking around, Kurama saw all eyes were on them. “That would be because you’re the second man this week to come in and manhandle me.”
At Yusuke’s confused look, Kurama sighed. “Hiei made quiet a scene when he came and had lunch with me the other day. I’m still trying to live down the gossip and the teasing.”
Giving a laugh, Yusuke turned to Kurama’s coworkers. “Hey, don’t look at me like that. I’m married. Hiei’s the one he’s in love with.”
Closing his eyes, Kurama blushed and allowed Yusuke to lead him through the office. As they got on the elevator, Kurama turned to look at his friend. “Yusuke, what is this all about? You’ve never come to my office before.”
Yusuke just shrugged. “I just haven’t seen you in a while, that’s all.”
Knowing he wouldn’t get any answers until Yusuke was ready to give them, Kurama dropped the subject. Outside, Kurama was surprised to see that Yusuke had driven to get him. As they drove to the ramen shop, they talked mostly about how Shiori and Keiko were doing since being poisoned.
Once the car was parked, the two men walked the short distance to the ramen shop. They had to stop to allow a group of boys to enter the building next to the ramen shop. Glancing at the van they had just come from, Kurama noticed it was from a nearby juvenile facility. Frowning, Kurama nodded at the boys. “Yusuke, what’s going on next door that all those kids are here?”
Casually, Yusuke shrugged. “Oh, there’s a new karate school that just opened next door. The owner works with some of the boys from juvie. They’re here to learn discipline, respect and some self defense. It’s a really great program.”
As he spoke, Yusuke moved to look through the window of the karate school. Curious, Kurama followed. Behind him he could hear the excitement in the voice of one of the boys that lagged behind. “Come on Tye, Sensei won’t like it if we’re late.”
Kurama could tell that the boys lingered behind them but didn’t pay any attention as he watched the scene inside the school. Boys were bowing and speaking to the instructor as they waited for class to start. Kurama blinked several times, unable to believe his eyes. Hiei stood at the head of the class, nodding and quietly speaking to each boy that vied for his attention.
Vaguely, Kurama heard the boy that spoke a minute ago call out to Yusuke. “Hey Mister? Aren’t you the guy that did that demonstration with Sensei at juvie a couple weeks ago? Are you coming in to spar him again?”
Yusuke laughed. “Yeah Kid, that was me. What do you think Kurama? Want to go inside and help me give these kids a show?”
Not taking his eyes off Hiei, Kurama shook his head. “You go ahead Yusuke. I think I’ll just watch.”
A moment later, Kurama saw Yusuke and the boys inside the school. Hiei and Yusuke spoke a moment, then Hiei called class to order. All the boys bowed respectfully, first to Hiei, then to Yusuke. Though Hiei didn’t look at him, Kurama knew the fire demon was aware of his presence. After a few more words, Yusuke toed off his shoes, ran out on the mat and raised his hands as if taunting Hiei. As they sparred, Kurama was surprised at the control Hiei showed when facing off against his former teammate.
The excitement on the faces of all the boys was apparent as Hiei easily avoided Yusuke’s attacks. Though he couldn’t hear Hiei’s words, Kurama could tell he was instructing his students on what Yusuke was doing wrong as the aggressor and what to do to defend against his attacks. This went on for almost half an hour before Yusuke graciously bowed to Hiei, then the students and left the mat.
As Yusuke put his shoes on, Hiei called his class to attention. When they began doing their blocking and punching drills, Kurama turned away. He contemplated leaving but, wanting to know more, he opted to wait for Yusuke at the ramen shop.
Seeing him enter the shop, Keiko excused herself from the customer she was helping to run up and hug him. “Kurama, hi. Go have a seat at our table. I’ll bring your iced tea in a minute.”
Taking a seat at their table, Kurama tried to wrap his mind around what he’d just seen. Could that really have been Hiei teaching human children martial arts? When Keiko brought his usual glass of iced tea, Kurama absently smiled his thanks. Quietly turning down her offer of lunch, Kurama waited for Yusuke.
A few minutes later, Yusuke bound into the ramen shop wearing a big smile. Stopping first to kiss his wife and see if she needed help, he finally joined Kurama at the table. “Those kids are so awesome. I can see why Hiei loves his job.”
Blinking in disbelief, Kurama looked at him. “I can’t believe you just said that Hiei loves his job. You’re talking about MY HIEI! He’s a demon Yusuke, and now he has a human job, in the human world, teaching human kids. Who did he rob this time to get sentenced to the Ningenkai again?”
Yusuke laughed. “Good one Kurama, but he’s not on parole this time. He’s here voluntarily. For your information, he’s doing all of this for you. If you want to know more you’ll have to talk to him.”
As he spoke, Keiko had joined them at the table. Reaching into her apron pocket she withdrew a card and a pen. After writing something on the back Keiko held the card out to Kurama. “Hiei gets off at four today. You can find him here after that.”
Looking down at the card in his hand, Kurama saw that it was a business card for ‘Jagonshi Martial Arts’. Flipping it over he saw that Keiko had written an address on the back. Curiously he looked at his friends. When they both just regarded him solemnly but didn’t say a word, Kurama nodded and left the roman shop.
Since it was just after lunch, Kurama knew he had time to kill before Hiei got off work. Shaking his head, Kurama was still having a problem grasping the alien concept of Hiei having a job. Looking again at the address on the card, Kurama realized it was just on the opposite side of the park from his mother’s house. Making his way to the park, Kurama found a secluded area before making himself comfortable under a large tree.
Leaning against the tree, Kurama closed his eyes and tried to clear his head. An hour later he was simply frustrated and got back up. Looking down at the address on the card, Kurama decided to investigate. On the far side of the park was an older residential area. The houses were moderate to large in size, built on spacious, oversized lots. Because of this, the neighborhood was a rather expensive one.
As he made his way to the street on the card, Kurama looked around at the houses. This was the type of neighborhood most people only dreamed of living in. The houses were all unique, not the cookie cutter houses or high rise buildings you found in the newer communities. The lawns and gardens were all immaculately kept. Since the area was older, the trees were all mature offering lots of shade and, if Kurama’s vulpine nose was correct, an abundance of fruit.
Over two streets and down a block, Kurama finally came to the address on the card. Before him stood a sprawling red brick, two story house with a tile roof. It looked more like something you would find in western America than in the heart of Japan. The property was surrounded by a tall, red brick and black wrought iron wall. A black wrought iron gate even sealed the entrance to the winding drive way that lead to the house.
Fearing he would have to scale the wall to get onto the property, Kurama looked around and found a small entry gate. Though it appeared to have the ability to be locked from the inside, he was glad to find it unlocked. Making his way towards the house, Kurama paused to appreciate the beauty of the yard. All the green of the lush grass and many hedges was broken up by flowering bushes and, closer to the house, an abundance of glorious rose bushes.
After double checking the address on the card against the number on the house, Kurama went to the door and rang the bell. When no one answered, Kurama went to peek in the large front window. What he saw inside made him frown. Going back to the door, Kurama slipped a seed from his hair and easily used it to pick the lock. With all the security around the perimeter of the property, Kurama wasn’t surprised to hear an alarm go off. Quickly stepping inside, Kurama found the alarm panel and popped the cover off. Within seconds the seasoned thief had disabled the alarm.
Walking past the foyer Kurama’s frown grew as he looked around what must be the living room. It was a spacious room, with a large picture window facing the front of the house. Along the outer wall was a beautiful stone fire place. What caused Kurama’s frown however was the furniture in the room. Arranged in front of the fire place was the sofa, table and chairs from his apartment.
Wanting to see more, Kurama passed through what was probably an empty formal dining room. What he found in the next room was a newly remodeled, gourmet kitchen. Sparkling stainless steel appliances were surrounded by oak and glass cabinets. Through the glass, Kurama could see his dishes and glasses inside. Just past the curved, granite topped island was a nook surrounded by windows. Placed there was the small table and chairs from his apartment.
Not sure what to think of all this, Kurama turned and went back through the house. On the other side of the foyer was another room. This one held the small student desk he’d had since middle school and his bookshelves. Making his way to the stairs he passed a bathroom. On the second floor there were rooms on either side of the stairway. Going right, Kurama found two large bedrooms with a bathroom between them as well as a laundry room. All of these rooms were empty.
Down the hall in the other direction was the master suite. The room was fashioned in an L-shape with the door entering into a sitting area with the bed to the right and the bathroom to the left. Kurama had to smile at how small his bed, nightstand and dresser looked in the huge room. His smile wavered as he looked at the picture of him and Hiei that rested on the nightstand.
Moving to the bathroom, Kurama saw that it too had recently been remodeled. There was a large glassed in shower next to a deep Jacuzzi style tub big enough for two. The vanity had matching sinks that were surrounded by mirrors, and around the corner was a private room with the commode.
Outside the bathroom was another door leading to a huge walk in closet. On one side hung all the clothes he’d left at his apartment and on the other hung the few things of Hiei’s that Kurama had packed so long ago and taken to Yukina. Looking around, Kurama saw that the only things out of place in the entire house were the unmade bed, a towel on the bathroom floor and the lone toothbrush sitting on the counter.
With the beautiful house only adding to his confusion, Kurama went to the bed and sat down. Pulling his phone from his pocket Kurama saw that it was already after three. Knowing that Hiei would be there soon, Kurama flung himself back on the bed and contemplated what he should do.

Flitting through the park, Hiei couldn’t wait to get home. After work he’d managed to avoid Yusuke and Keiko, not wanting them to see his disappointment that Kurama hadn’t stayed to see him after his class. Using the trees, Hiei easily made it over the wall before going around the side of the house. A large tree there gave him easy entrance to the window he’d left cracked open in the hall upstairs.
The moment his feet touched the carpet, Hiei knew something was different. Taking a few steps towards the master suite, Hiei’s nose twitched suspiciously. Smelling roses, the fire demon immediately relaxed. Hesitantly pushing open the bedroom door, Hiei smiled. The room was covered in red rose petals making it look like a hundred roses had exploded. Laying on the bed was a gray suit jacket. Next to it was a blue tie. On the floor by the bed were a pair of shoes and socks. In the middle of the room a white shirt lay where it had fallen. At the bathroom door were a pair of gray slacks. Toeing off his shoes, and tossing his jacket aside, Hiei headed for the bathroom. As he pushed the door open he could hear the hum of the tub’s jets. Laying back in the tub with his eyes closed and covered to the neck in bubbles was Kurama. His long red hair was draped over the edge of the tub. When his green eyes opened, a soft smile played over Kurama’s lips as he gazed back at Hiei. “I thought my Fire-Baby might like a bath after work. Why don’t you join me Koibito?”
His beautiful fox covered in bubbles, combined with the sexy invitation to join him had Hiei hard before he was even out of his clothes. As Hiei stepped naked into the tub, Kurama sat up and grabbed his hips. Hiei had to hold the wall for balance as he stood in the water with Kurama’s hot mouth working his erection. Kurama’s soft hands stroked his flesh as Hiei gave himself over to his lover’s wicked tongue. When Kurama moaned his own pleasure at having Hiei in his mouth, the fire demon grabbed a hand full of red hair and climaxed.
Easing Hiei down in the tub with him, Kurama held him as they both recovered. “Welcome home my Love. Just lie back against me and I’ll take care of everything.”
Not bothering with a washcloth, Kurama lathered his hands and began washing his lover. Hiei willingly relaxed against Kurama’s chest and allowed the redhead free reign over his body. By the time Kurama’s hands traveled between his legs, the fire demon was hard again. Bending his knees, Hiei invited his fox to touch him more intimately. Knowing how long it had been since he’d taken Hiei, Kurama carefully stroked and caressed his flesh until the fire demon was whimpering with need.
Unable to take any more, Hiei pulled Kurama’s hand away and turned in his arms. Straddling the redhead’s hips Hiei lowered himself onto his lover’s erection. Having been denied the warmth of Hiei’s body for so long, Kurama cried out as his erection was quickly sheathed inside his lover. Reaching up, Kurama gave Hiei time to adjust by pulling him down for a deep kiss. Hiei however had different ideas. As their tongues dueled, Hiei began moving on Kurama.
Each man’s hands roamed the others willing body as they made love. As Kurama grabbed his hips and drove straight for is pleasure zone, Hiei tossed his head back and cried. “Gods Kurama YES! Right there my Fox! Don’t stop!”
Within seconds Hiei climaxed, but he didn’t stop moving since Kurama was still hard inside him. After catching his breath, Hiei raised his head to look into Kurama’s eyes. He was startled to see doubt within those green depths and frowned. “Kurama…?”
Still thrusting within him, Kurama looked at Hiei and pleaded. “Can I keep you Hiei? Can you forgive me? Will you let me mark you? Will you be mine forever?”
With a smile, Hiei turned his head, exposing his neck to Kurama. “I have always been yours Kurama and I always will be.”
Licking and nipping along the neck before him, Kurama flared his demon energy enough to draw out his fangs, then sank them deep into Hiei’s neck. As he fed on Hiei’s blood and energy, Kurama’s body shuddered it’s release. Feeling Kurama’s energy and essence flood him, Hiei orgasmed for the third time since stepping into the tub.
With Hiei collapsed against him, Kurama licked his mark clean before draining the tub. After rinsing them both, Kurama lifted Hiei from the tub. The only sign he had that Hiei was even conscious was a brief raising of the fire demon’s ki to dry them as Kurama carried his mate to the bed. Once there, Kurama settled them both beneath the covers and pulled Hiei into his arms. Sated and content, both men slipped into a dreamless sleep.
