WAITING FOR YOU

Chapter 15

Regardless of how many times he had done it in the past, waiting to see if and when Hiei would come was always hard. Even though it had only been one day, to Kurama it felt like forever. Not wanting to have too much time to think about it, Kurama went to visit his mother. Daring to have the faintest hope that he and Hiei would be together as a couple, Kurama decided it was time to tell his parents the truth.

When he arrived, Shiori insisted on making tea. Now he sat in the living room talking with both his parents. As Kurama tried to figure out the best way to broach the awkward subject of his sexuality and his being a demon, Shiori suddenly pointed at the window and cried out. �Oh my god! What is that thing?�

Immediately on alert, Kurama jumped up between his parents and whatever was at the window. Black bugged out eyes stared back at Kurama as boney, clawed fingers tapped at the window. Relaxing, Kurama turned to see his stepfather protectively holding his mother. �It�s alright Mother, Igo works for Hiei. He is a demon however. Father, if it�s alright, I�d like to let him in?�

Shiori�s eyes were wide as she held tightly to her husband. Calmer than his wife, Kazuya nodded at Kurama. �If you think it�s save Shuuichi, then of course you can let him in.�

Turning back to the window, Kurama pointed towards the door before rushing to open it. When the small, bug eyed, pointy eared demon entered, Shiori gasped but made no further comment. Closing the door behind Igo, Kurama looked at him worried. �Igo, is Hiei alright?�

Igo gave the redhead a deep bow before answering. �Don�t be alarmed Lord Kurama. Lord Hiei is fine. I am simply here as his messenger.�

Igo�s boney fingered hand held out an envelope to Kurama. Taking it, Kurama ignored everyone as he ripped it open and read the brief note.

Kurama,

Don�t ever again doubt IF your mate will come to you. As to when, I should be there in a few days. When I get there we will be discussing the annoying habit my Fox has of disappearing from my bed in the dead of night.

I didn�t want you to worry so I�m sending Igo with this note. Everything with Mukuro is going well. I think you will be pleased with the arrangements I�ve made.

The detective and his neko came to check on you. Don�t be surprised if they don�t believe what I told them and show up there.

I�ll see you soon Fox. Forever and always, your best friend, your mate and your dragon,

Hiei

By the time he finished the note, Kurama had a big smile on his face. Seeing he was done, Igo inquired. �Will there be a reply, my lord?�

Reaching into his hair, Kurama withdrew a perfect blood red rose bud and held it out to Igo. �Just give him this Igo, he�ll know what it means.�

�Very good my lord.� Holding the rose gingerly, Igo bowed again before turning away. After thanking him and showing him out, Kurama turned back to his parents.

After seeing her son converse so easily with the odd little demon, Shiori had relaxed a little. Now that he was gone she rushed forward excitedly. �That was a demon? What an odd little thing he was. Did Hiei send him? Where did that rose come from? I don�t remember you having it when you came in.�

Seeing the look on his stepson�s face, Kazuya took Shiori�s hand and led her to the sofa. �Sweetheart, I think we should sit down and let him explain.�

Realizing he�d gotten the opening he�d been looking for, Kurama smiled his gratitude at his stepfather as seated himself on a chair across from them. �Yes Mother, Igo is a demon. He gathers intelligence for Hiei. There was some trouble at Alaric when I was there a few days ago and Hiei was just letting me know that everything was alright. I�m kind of glad he showed up, I�ve been looking for a way to talk to you about something. After you were both so wonderful about everything Hiei told you before, I know I shouldn�t be so worried, but after all this time, it�s a little hard to just blurt out my secrets.�

Kazuya smiled at Shiori before looking back at Kurama. �Shuuichi, before we were married your mother told me that you kept secrets from her. She has always worried that you were somehow in danger. She prayed that some day you would trust her enough to share them with her.�

Feeling guilty, Kurama reached for Shiori�s hand. �I�m sorry Mother. I never meant for you to worry. It�s not that I didn�t trust you, I was just afraid that you wouldn�t accept me for what I really am.�

Squeezing his hand, Shiori frowned. �Oh Shuuichi, how could I not accept you? I love you. I don�t care if you�re gay or that you�re in love with Hiei. I just want you to be happy.�

Knowing that she had only guessed one of his many secrets, Kurama chuckled. �My feelings for Hiei are actually one of my smaller secrets Mother. If you don�t mind, I�d like to start with the big one. When Hiei told you that my friends call me Kurama because I remind them of the fox spirit Yoko Kurama, that�s not entirely true.�

Raising his spirit energy, Kurama held his breath as Shiori and Kazuya�s eyes widened in shock. Before them, their redheaded son suddenly changed into a beautiful silver Youko. �They call me Kurama because I AM the legendary fox spirit known as Yoko Kurama.�

Involuntarily, Shiori pulled her hand from Kurama�s. After a moment she daringly looked deep into the Youko�s golden eyes. �Shuuichi?�

With a little nod, Kurama tried to smile. �Yes Mother, it�s me. Twenty seven years ago, I was mortally wounded by a hunter. Not wanting to die, my soul left my body looking for a safe place to heal. Not feeling safe in Makai, I came to the Ningenkai. After searching for several hours for a suitable host, I came across you in the garden in the park. You caught my attention, not only because you were so beautiful, but because there was a fairy girl hovering near you.�

Kazuya frowned. �A fairy girl, what�s that?�

Kurama hesitated briefly. �Fairy girls carry souls from the Ningenkai to Reikai.�

Watching Shiori intently, Kurama saw the moment she understood. �Was I going to die?�

Gently, Kurama explained. �I thought you were, so I waited for her to take your soul so I could enter your body myself and use my demon energy to heal you. In an adult female, it would have taken perhaps six months to a year for me to heal enough to return to Makai.�

Seeing that his wife was upset and confused, Kazuya asked the next question. �Shiori didn�t die though.�

Looking at his stepfather, Kurama shook his head. �No, thank the gods. When the fairy girl collected the soul, mother appeared faint. I quickly entered her body only to find she still had a soul. What I discovered however was that the child she carried had just died. Running out of options. I had no other recourse but to inhabit the baby�s body. In such a small being it took very little of my demon energy to revive the child and make him strong.�

Big brown eyes looked up at Kurama as Shiori whispered. �So I would have lost my baby that day if it weren�t for you?�

Kurama nodded. �Yes, Shuuichi would have died. Instead you had a healthy baby, only he possessed a demon�s soul. In one so small and weak, it would now take me ten years or more to heal. A thousand year old Youko trapped in a human infant�s body was very frustrating. I�m afraid I wasn�t very tolerant for those first few years. I�m sorry I was so hard on you Mother.�

Shiori�s brow furrowed curiously. �That changed though. All of a sudden, when you were about five or six, you became the most wonderful child. What happened?�

With a little smile, the ancient Youko blushed. �You taught me how to love. No matter how horrible I was, you gave me your unconditional love. You even risked your own safety for mine. I had never had that with my Youko mother. I was taught to fend for myself by the time I was three, then discarded when I was no longer wanted.�

�Oh Shuuichi!� Jumping up, Shiori held out her arms as if to hug him. Suddenly realizing that the Youko wasn�t her son, Shiori pulled back. �You�re not really my Shuuichi, are you? Does this mean you�re not my son?�

At the heart ache in her voice, Kurama quickly changed back to his human form. Holding a hand out to his mother, Kurama prayed that he wouldn�t be rejected. �For you, I will always be your Shuuichi, and you will always be my mother� if you�ll have me.�

With tears in her eyes, Shiori rushed into his arms. �Oh Shuuichi! You are the best son I could have ever hoped for and I love you so much.�

Smiling over her shoulder at his stepfather, Kurama held her tight. �I love you too Mother.�

Kazuya smiled at his wife and stepson. �Of all the things we expected to hear you say Shuuichi, being a demon wasn�t one of them.�

There was a mischievous twinkle in Shiori�s eyes as she looked up at her son. �We were actually hoping to hear that you were going to move to Makai to live with Hiei in his castle.�

Kurama blushed. �That remains to be seen Mother. Hiei and I have a lot to discuss when he gets back from Makai.�

Shiori grinned. �You and Hiei are discussing a relationship though, aren�t you?�

With a grin, Kurama blushed again. �Yes Mother, we are.�

The excitement in her voice was obvious as Shiori hugged him. �Oh Shuuichi, I�m so happy for you. I just know everything will work out fine between you.�

As Kurama smiled and thanked her, his cell phone rang. After glancing at the name, he told his parents he needed to answer it.

�Hi Yusuke, what�s up?� No, Hiei told you the truth. Everything is fine� Yes, he straightened everything out with Mukuro and he has his full memory back� I�m not sure yet. We�ll talk about that when Hiei gets back� Really? Yusuke, that�s wonderful. Congratulations!� No, I�ll be there, but I�m not sure Hiei will be back yet� Yusuke, would it be alright if I invited my parents?� Actually, they already know Hiei and I are demons. I was thinking it would be a good way for them to learn more about us� Thanks, Yusuke. I�ll see you then.�

When he finished, Kurama closed the phone and turned to his parents. �Yusuke and Kuwabara are having a party to celebrate their mating. I was wondering if you�d both like to come with me?�

Seeing the confusion in his mother�s eyes, Kurama smiled and waited for the inevitable questions. �I remember you telling me that Yukina had moved away and that Keiko was marrying someone else but when did Yusuke and Kazuma become a couple? And what do you mean by mating? Are they demons too?�

Indicating for his parents to sit down, Kurama attempted to explain. �Actually, they became a couple just a few months ago. Yusuke has had feelings for Kuwabara for some time now though. Probably, ever since he became a demon. Yusuke had a demon ancestor who�s dormant gene became active when Yusuke became strong enough to withstand being a demon.�

Seeing that they were handling this new development well, Kurama continued. �A few months ago we thought Kuwabara was ill, so Yusuke stayed with him and tried to help him get better. For some reason, Yusuke�s demon energy made him feel better. Kuwabara�s sister Shizuru finally confessed that when she was a teenager she had been raped by a tiger demon. Because she was so young, her parents raised her baby as their own. Kuwabara�s illness turned out to be nothing more than his body adjusting to transforming into a demon.�

Kazuya gave a nervous chuckle. �Shuuichi, you say that so casually. Like turning into a demon is an every day occurrence.�

Kurama laughed. �It�s actually very rare for someone born human to become a demon. It does seem odd though that, including myself, I�ve just told you of three such occurrences. As to their mating, that is the way a demon bonds with his chosen partner.�

Kurama was surprised with how casually Shiori asked her next question. �Are all demons gay? I mean, I only know of four demons and all of you are male with male partners.�

Even the ancient Youko in him grinned at her intuitiveness. �Most demons are bisexual. In our past we have all had both male and female lovers. Excuse my crudeness, but when demons are young, choosing a partner is simply about satisfying lust. When mating however, demons tend to chose partners with an equal strength to their own. If a demon as powerful as Yusuke were to mate with someone as weak as Keiko, Yusuke would have to hold himself back when they made love or risk hurting or killing her.�

Shiori�s eyes widened. �How powerful is Hiei? That little demon called him a lord, he must be very powerful. Shuuichi, are you in danger being with him?�

Realizing his mother had guessed his role in their lovemaking, Kurama blushed. �Yes Mother, Hiei is very powerful. He is classified an upper �S� class demon. Only an elite few hold a higher classification. By the time Hiei rules Mukuro�s territory, he will be among that elite. You don�t need to worry about me though. I too am an �S� class demon and very powerful.�

Shaking her head, Shiori only looked slightly relieved. �I find it hard to believe that my sweet son is a powerful demon.�

Squeezing her hand, Kurama smiled. �Coming with me to Yusuke & Kuwabara�s party will help make it easier to understand. Everyone there will either be a demon or knows that we are demons, so it will be easier for us to relax and be ourselves around you.�

Looking at her husband for approval, Shiori nodded. �We�d love to go Shuuichi. I�m looking forward to learning more about all of you. I do hope Hiei can come.�

Shrugging, Kurama smiled sadly. �I wouldn�t get my hopes up. The party is the day after tomorrow and Hiei said he�d be a few more days. It would be nice though.�

A short while later Kurama said goodbye to his parents and went home. That night as he sat in the bay window in his room, Kurama took out Hiei�s note and reread it. Though he was afraid to get his hopes up, the note did imply they would have a future together.

With one last, longing glance out the window, Kurama crawled in bed. For the first time Kurama felt like Hiei really was going to be his dragon and his mate.
