Chapter 19

Much as Kurama and Hiei enjoyed being around Yusuke, it still became somewhat taxing that they could hardly ever have time to themselves. They were grateful, therefore, when Yusuke decided to take a nap one day three weeks into summer break. Both men stayed in the house while Yusuke slept soundly upstairs. Kurama was at the sink, washing some vegetables to prepare a soup. Shiori was out of the house for the day with the wedding planner. The event was only two months away and there was still much to do.

Hiei watched as Kurama washed and peeled carrots, saying nothing for awhile. �The boy sleeps better after he has sex,� Hiei said.

The statement caught Kurama off guard; he hadn�t been expecting Hiei to speak so suddenly and was startled into slicing his finger slightly with the peeler. Hiei was beside him in a flash, grasping Kurama�s wrist and sucking the blood off Kurama�s index finger. �I had noticed that myself,� Kurama said, watching Hiei suckle on is fingertip.

�I wonder what it means�� said Hiei.

Kurama tugged his hand from Hiei�s grasp and resumed cleaning the veggies. �I imagine that by expending some of his sexual energy, he�s less likely to be taken over by his instincts. Toushin are very physical creatures. I�m not surprised that he�s calmer when he�s had sex.�

Hiei scoffed and crossed his arms. He was irritated by the way Kurama jerked away from him like that. �You�d think he�d be more responsive��

Kurama winced. He didn�t want to embarrass Hiei by acknowledging the number of times he�d been shot down that week. It was really quite uncanny; every time Hiei tried to start something, Yusuke got irritated or wasn�t in the mood. It was getting to the point where Hiei was getting frustrated from the lack of attention. He was starting to resent Kurama for the way Yusuke always responded to his advances whereas Hiei had to wait for Yusuke to come to him. Which he�d been doing far less frequently than he�d been doing for Kurama. �Have you spoken to him?� Kurama asked.

The lack of response spoke volumes. Hiei just stared at the floor before returning to his seat atop the kitchen counter and kicked his feet. He was not only annoyed by Yusuke�s sudden cold shoulder, he felt slightly ashamed and hurt. He didn�t understand what he�d done wrong.

�Perhaps you should try now,� said Kurama. �He�s starting to wake.� Kurama had tied his energy to Yusuke�s consciousness as a precaution. He now knew when Yusuke fell asleep and when he woke up. It helped Kurama to be ready when Yusuke was sleeping in case he had a nightmare. That way, Kurama would be awake before Yusuke could freak out too badly.

Hiei didn�t reply, he simply walked up the stairs and sat on the bed, waiting for Yusuke to sit up. �If I didn�t know any better, I�d say you were sick of me,� said Hiei. He stared as his lover sat up and fought hard to seem nonchalant. He failed.

�What?� Yusuke asked, mid yawn. I just woke up and he�s spewing nonsense at me�

Hiei leaned in close and stared Yusuke down. �You�ve been ignoring my advances. I want to know why.�

Yusuke felt a familiar tingling in his chest and the pounding in his head that meant his demonic instincts were going into overdrive. He knew now that these were his sexual instincts as opposed to the violent or protective ones. As time went on, he was getting better at recognizing what the differences were, but it didn�t make it easier for him to rein them in. �Listen, Hiei,� Yusuke started. He swallowed hard, aware that he was losing his grip rather fast due to Hiei�s proximity. �I�m still having a hard time d-�

�You�ve been fucking Kurama at every opportunity!� Hiei snapped. He didn�t want to hear Yusuke�s excuses. He wanted a concrete reason why he was being pushed away while Yusuke hadn�t changed his behavior toward Kurama at all.

Yusuke sighed and hung his head, thankful that Hiei�s anger had quelled his desire to fuck him into yesterday. �I�m not ignoring you. For some reason, you set off my �fuck me� instincts way more often and way more intensely than Kurama, okay? If I didn�t give myself distance, I�d never get anything done.� Yusuke met Hiei�s gaze, silently pleading for him to understand. �It�s not like I don�t want you. That�s the opposite of the problem. Fuck, Hiei, I�m only sixteen! Being a demon is no excuse for this shit.�

Hiei couldn�t stop the swell of his ego when Yusuke implied that he desired him more than Kurama. He knew that it wasn�t quite the case and that there must be something specific about him that Yusuke desired with such intensity. Still, he managed to push the questions aside for a moment. �Yusuke,� he said. �It�s perfectly normal for a demon your age to be this way.�

Yusuke groaned and stood up. He began pacing. That certain something about Hiei was flaring up again and he was having a hard time focusing again. He wanted to do some things to Hiei that would injure a human to the point of needing a hospital but he knew that the only way to learn to control the desire was to shove it aside. �I�m sorry I keep pushing you away, man.� He shoved his fingers through his hair and groaned again. �This is harder than you might think.� He stopped pacing and looked over at Hiei. He felt a jolt go straight to his groin and he wished for the thousandth time that he could understand just what it was making himself feel that way. He took a step toward Hiei, pleased that he managed not to trip over his own feet (it was happening more often now that he didn�t have his defective bracelet on) and touched Hiei�s face. �I don�t know what it is but for some reason you�re making it hard for me to stay in control.�

Hiei raised an eyebrow. �If I knew what it was, I assure you, I wouldn�t stop it.� He stood and brushed a few stray strands of hair off of Yusuke�s face. �I want to know why you want it to stop.�

Yusuke chewed on his lower lip. Having Hiei this close to him made things difficult, to say the least. He was having trouble stringing coherent thoughts together, let alone gathering enough brain-power to explain to Hiei that he didn�t want to lose his control. �I don�t want� to fuck you too� hard.�

�You�re worried about harming me?� Hiei tangled his fingers in Yusuke�s hair and gazed into his eyes. �I�m difficult to injure.�

Yusuke shook his head, torn between shoving Hiei away and throwing him to the floor and screwing him right there. It was physically and emotionally taxing to be near Hiei lately. �I want to be in control� Please, Hiei. Leave me alone.�

Never being one to handle rejection well, Hiei just snarled at Yusuke and vanished, taking his leave out the window without a backward glance.

Now that Hiei was out of sight, Yusuke could breathe more easily. He sighed and plopped himself back down on Kurama�s bed, not surprised when Kurama entered the room moments later. �Where�s Hiei?� he asked.

Yusuke shrugged. �Got pissed at me and left.� Yusuke rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands. �It�s fucking exhausting, man.�

�Yusuke, what�s going on between you and Hiei?�

Yusuke looked up as Kurama sat beside him and sighed. �I just feel like, with you, I can control myself but the second Hiei gets in my space, I lose my mind and start having these weird desires to fuck him bloody�� Yusuke�s cheeks tinted at his own description. �I�m not used to it and it freaks me out.�

It took a moment of contemplation for Kurama to fully understand what Yusuke meant. Then he began to laugh.

�Hey, foxboy,� said Yusuke. �This isn�t funny.�

�Oh, I apologize, my dear,� said Kurama. He touched Yusuke�s shoulder gently and smiled. Yusuke could see the bite-mark on Kurama�s neck when his hair shifted out of the way. �I believe you are reacting to Hiei being in rut.�

�Huh?� said Yusuke. �You mean he�s� like�� Yusuke frowned. �Then why aren�t you all over him?�

�I have better self control than you. I hardly even noticed. I doubt Hiei even realizes it. It�s only just beginning, after all.�

�How long does it last?�

�A month or two.�

Yusuke scowled. �Great� I wish I�d known about it��

Kurama rubbed Yusuke�s shoulder. �Don�t worry. I�m sure Hiei will return once he realizes what�s causing you to behave so strangely.�

Yusuke reached up and brushed the hair covering his bite marks away from Kurama�s neck. �Why does this still look fresh? I did a while ago; it shouldn�t even be visible, right?�

�Ah.� Kurama touched the hand Yusuke was holding his hair back with. �It�s no ordinary bite. That shows your intention to claim me as your own.�

Yusuke balked. �Excuse me? My own?�

Kurama nodded. �That�s the reason Hiei told you he was flattered. You�re a powerful demon, Yusuke. More than I believe you realize. Your intent to take us is an honor.�

�That�s weird as hell, man. I don�t know if I like it.�

A slight frown marred Kurama�s features. �What do you mean? What is there not to like?�

�I mean� shouldn�t we be� equal or something?�

Kurama shook his head, his crimson locks cascading around him and catching Yusuke�s eye. For a moment, Kurama looked far lovelier than normal. �You are more powerful than I, my love. It would be impossible for us to be equal in strength. However, our relationship can be equal if you decide for it to be.�

�Why does it have to be my decision? I love you! You should have a say!�

�Yes. You are right. However, there is no doubt that should the three of us become mated, you, as the most powerful of us, would be in a position of ownership over Hiei and me.�

Yusuke stood, jostling Kurama. �That�s bullshit! I don�t want to own either of you!� Yusuke bit his tongue when he saw the hurt look on Kurama�s face. �Listen, it doesn�t mean I don�t want you guys. I�d just rather the whole thing be mutual is all.�

�I realize you don�t understand how demon world culture works; being in love with a demon of higher class means wanting to be owned by him.� Kurama fiddled with his hair and averted his eyes from Yusuke. �I understand that it must be difficult to accept but it doesn�t mean anything, really; just that should you choose to leave either of us, you�re the only one who can decide when it�s over.�

Yusuke sank back into bed and shoved his face in a pillow. �This is exhausting. I want Hiei to come back. I feel bad for pissing him off.� He shivered. Hiei�s absence was making him feel physically ill. He had a bad feeling about Hiei being gone and he had an irrational sort of terror that Hiei wouldn�t come back. �He�ll come back, right?�

Kurama frowned. �Of course,� he said. �Why shouldn�t he?�

Yusuke shrugged. �I just have a bad feeling.�

�Yusuke, he loves you; he won�t vanish forever.�

In spite of Kurama�s assurances, Yusuke couldn�t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. Indeed, his fears were not assuaged right away. When night fell and Hiei still hadn�t returned, Kurama was having trouble convincing himself that Hiei would return. He�d called out to Hiei telepathically but had received no response. It wasn�t until Kurama and Yusuke were sleeping that Hiei returned. His reappearance was so quiet that he didn�t rouse either of his lovers and they didn�t discover his return until the next morning.

Yusuke tightened his grip on the warm demon in bed beside him, inhaling the scent of burning wood as he nuzzled his nose into Hiei�s neck. After a moment, Yusuke woke up fully and jerked away, shocked to be suddenly holding Hiei. �H-Hiei?� said Yusuke.

Hiei groaned and turned over to press his face into the pillows. �Be quiet,� he said.

�What�s wrong?� Yusuke asked. He�d been about to lay into Hiei for leaving again but was too concerned by Hiei�s strange behavior to be angry.

�I found the merchant,� Hiei muttered into the pillow. �He was harder to kill than I had anticipated.�

By now, Kurama was fully awake and was sitting up, gazing down at Hiei with concern. �What happened?� he asked.

�The creature that stole from me claimed to have no knowledge that the bracelets were defective.� Hiei rolled over onto his back and draped his forearm over his eyes. �He said he�d purchased them from a different demon that had a reputation as a legitimate businessman. I spared the beast in exchange for my gems and information on where to find the demon who had sold the bracelets to him, whom I murdered after discovering that he was working for a human, of all things.�

�I�m not sure I follow,� said Kurama. �The demon you bought the bracelets from purchased them from a demon who was working for a human, correct? Then why kill the demon? Did he know that the bracelets were faulty?�

Hiei sat up and grunted, still sore from the previous night�s battle with the scum. �No. But he apparently noticed I was in rut and I had to dispose of him before he got any ideas.�

A low and menacing growl erupted from Yusuke�s throat. �Did he touch you?� Yusuke demanded.

�He tried,� said Hiei. �He was dead before he had his pants down.�

Demonic energy swirled around Yusuke in chaotic waves. �How dare any creature think of lying a hand on what�s mine?� he snarled.

�Yusuke-kun,� Kurama said, pressing a kiss to Yusuke�s shoulder. �Breathe.�

The furious energy swirled higher and its intensity increased. �Mine,� he repeated. He clutched Hiei by the shoulders and sank his teeth into the bite-marks he�d left weeks prior on Hiei�s neck.

Hiei let out a gasp of surprise before relaxing into Yusuke�s touch and allowing Yusuke�s ki to flow into him. He was soon groaning in delight, enjoying the delicious raw power flowing around him through Yusuke�s aura. �No one else can have you.� Yusuke released Hiei and took several deep breaths.

Hiei collapsed into Yusuke, panting. �It won�t happen again,� he said.

Kurama looked on, slightly shocked by Yusuke�s behavior but a quick rundown of the facts confirmed in his mind that Yusuke�s reaction was more than reasonable. Even Hiei�s half-apology fit. It made sense for Hiei to be apologetic about what had almost transpired between himself and that other demon. Hiei had already fully accepted the fact that being Yusuke�s mate meant that Yusuke would own him. More than that, Hiei seemed to quite like the idea of it. Strange thought Kurama. I didn�t realize Hiei would consent to being owned.

I have a feeling things are about to get interesting.

And reviews would be received with love. Even if I get another flame. Flame was on a different story and it made me laugh so hard.
