Chapter 2
“Hiei”… Chills ran down Hiei’s spine at the soft way Kurama almost moaned his name. It seemed Hiei wasn’t the only one having trouble hiding his feelings. He had known for some time of Kurama’s attraction to him. If that attraction was only physical or went deeper he didn’t know, and he had no intention of finding out. They were friends, and it was more than Hiei thought he could ever hope for. He had only had true friendship once in his life and lost it. He would never again risk such a precious thing as his fox’s friendship for physical pleasure, or even love.
As Hiei removed his cloak, boots and katana, Kurama’s eyes automatically began to search every inch of his love’s slim, muscular form for sign of injury. “I’m not injured Fox”. Kurama smiled and blushed as he realized that this statement was made without Hiei actually being witness to Kurama’s close appraisal.
“No, but I’ll bet you’re hungry. Come on, I have some leftovers in the fridge.” Kurama took Hiei by the hand and pulled the reluctant fire demon into the kitchen. Hiei sat at the small table in the corner to await whatever his fox may have to eat.
Kurama, knowing Hiei might come tonight, had worked hard to make something special in hopes Hiei would join him for dinner. Sadly Kurama had eaten alone. ‘Oh well, leftovers will have to do’ he thought. Kurama, placing a hand on Hiei’s shoulder, leaned close to Hiei to set the plate in front of him as he purred softly in his ear. “It’s one of your favorites Hiei, stir fried rice with chicken and lots of vegetables made just the way you like them”
Hiei’s breath caught at the thrill of Kurama’s breath caressing his neck. “Hn” was the only reply Kurama got, but was gratified to see Hiei clean his plate and help himself to seconds.
After Hiei finished dinner Kurama served him a large bowl of ice cream, or sweet snow as Hiei always called it. Frowning, Hiei asked, “What are these lumps in my sweet snow Fox?”
Kurama grinned and reached over into the bowl of ice cream to steel one of the offending lumps. “It’s cookie dough Hiei. It’s chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Here try it, it’s really good.” Holding the lump of cookie dough between his fingers, Kurama held it up to Hiei’s lips.
Hiei’s eyes widened for a moment. Then, it was Kurama’s eyes that widened and his breath that caught, as Hiei not only took the offered treat but also the fox’s fingers into his warm mouth and suckled them clean. “You’re right Fox, that was good” he said in a low voice. His red eyes fixed on the fox’s. Kurama blushed and quickly turned to finish the dishes. Hiei smirked thinking, ‘two can play this game my fox’.

In the bedroom Kurama nervously prepared for bed. He glanced at Hiei occasionally as he sat on the windowsill polishing his katana. Why was he so nervous? They had done this little routine dozens, if not hundreds of times in the past. It was a little different now that Kurama had his own apartment. At his mother’s house he had slept on the narrow bed while Hiei had slept on a mat on the floor. Now Kurama’s bed was big enough for two and they had shared it many times in the last year and a half. Tonight was different though, Kurama could feel it. Something was happening between them, and as much as he wanted to see where that something would lead, he wasn’t sure he was willing to risk their friendship to find out.
“No homework Fox?” Hiei inquired, putting down his katana and automatically picking up Kurama’s hairbrush..
“Not really, just a report due next week.” Kurama replied as he moved to sit in front of the fire demon.
“Good, I won’t have to sleep with the light on tonight.” Hiei began brushing his fox’s hair.
This was another routine they had done many times over the years. Kurama had been wounded on a mission two years ago and Hiei had cared for him. Brushing his hair had soothed the wounded fox. Somehow, even after Kurama had healed, Hiei made it part of their regular evening ritual. Both bit their lips to hide their pleasure, while each quietly enjoyed the torture of touching and being touched by the one they loved. When he couldn’t stand it any longer Kurama took the brush from Hiei and set it aside. Together they got in the bed, Hiei near the window as always, and they turned out the lights. Both lay quiet for some minutes before the fox gave in to his curiosity.
“Hiei?”
“Hn?”
“Can I kiss you goodnight?”
Silence. Kurama turned to Hiei, leaning up on his elbow to see his love bathed in moonlight.
“Why?”
“Because, it’s a nice way to end a nice evening with someone you’re close to.” The fox answered choosing his words with care.
“Hn.”
Taking that as a yes Kurama leaned in, closing his eyes, and gently placed his lips over his fire demon’s. ‘Heaven!’ was the thought they both shared. A small moan escaped Kurama as he gently moved his lips on Hiei’s. Hiei reached a hand into his fox’s soft hair and pulled him deeper into the kiss. One moment Kurama was in control, the next he found himself on his back, pressed into the mattress with a very warm tongue demanding entrance to his mouth. Opening himself to Hiei, Kurama found himself the recipient of absolutely the best kiss he had ever had, as a human or Youko. ‘Wow!’ When his brain could function again and his power of speech returned he would have to ask that sexy fire demon just who had taught him how to kiss like that.
When they finally broke apart, both breathing heard, Hiei gently brushed the hair from Kurama’s eyes and whispered “Goodnight Fox”. Then he turned over and went to sleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hiei was slowly waking from one of his favorite dreams as he enjoyed the sweet smell of his lover laying nestled in his arms. Warm breath caressed his chest as his love snuggled further into his warmth. He squeezed his eyes shut and tightened his arms as he tried to hold on to the sweet dream a little longer. It had been years since he had had this particular dream and almost half a century since it was a reality. His chest hurt as he realized that in a few short moments the dream would fade and he would once again be alone. Eyes still closed, he turned his head to kiss his love’s forehead. As sleep slowly escaped him he realized this dream was different. This morning, dreams do come true.
Kurama snuggled further into the warmth that surrounded him. He felt strong arms tighten their hold and smiled at the pleasure this wonderful dream was creating. He knew it must be a dream, for the thought of the cold little Koorime he had gone to bed with snuggling was ridiculous…wasn’t it? Warm lips caressed his forehead. Dare he hope that on this special morning, dreams do come true?
The sound of the alarm buzzing stirred two very disappointed demons from their dreams. Reluctantly, pulling himself away from Kurama, Hiei dressed quickly and prepared to leave. ‘He’s leaving? Without a word about last night, about that kiss, about this morning?’ Kurama’s thoughts raced through his mind. He had to know.
“Will you be back tonight?”
“Don’t know.”
“We need to talk about what happened Hiei.”
“Nothing happened Fox and nothing more will ever happen. It was only a kiss goodnight. You’re going to be late for school.” With that Hiei was gone.
‘So much for dreams’ Kurama mused as he got ready for school.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kurama spent the next few days in a haze. It was awful. He couldn’t concentrate on his class lectures, finally having to borrow notes from a classmate. He messed up an easy lab in chemistry and got a B- on a quiz in Japanimation, a class he took because it sounded fun and easy.
What was wrong with him? He knew the answer… ‘Hiei and that kiss. Where in the three worlds had he learned to kiss like that?’ That kiss was so sensual, like being kissed by Yoko, Kurama’s demon form. Hiei didn’t just kiss with his mouth. He kissed with his lips and tongue. He kissed with his hands and body. He was getting turned on just thinking about it. Where was Hiei? ‘Concentrate Kurama, homework first, fantasies later.’
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
‘Why did I do it? Why did I let that stupid fox kiss me? That damn fox. My beautiful, sexy, redheaded fox.’ That’s all Hiei could think about. That kiss. It was distracting him and today it had almost gotten him killed. Well, it had to stop. He had to talk to his Fox, convince him that nothing more would come from that kiss. Problem was, how was he going to convince himself?
Within seconds of Hiei landing at Kurama’s window the fox was at his side, stripping away his cloak to check the severity of his injuries.
“HIEI?” the fox asks urgently.
“Got careless Fox. It’s nothing. Don’t fuss.” Came the curt reply.
Kurama lost it. “NOTHING HUH? If it was nothing, Hiei, you wouldn’t be here! Because you sure as hell wouldn’t come here to see me! What’s the matter Hiei, Yukina not home? She’s better at this than I am you know!” Kurama’s bitter tirade was abruptly cut off when Hiei’s hand snapped out, firmly grabbing the hair at the back of the fox’s head, and pulled him in for a punishing kiss.
Kurama’s head spun. ‘How can he do this? One minute I’m yelling, the next I’m jelly.’ The kiss only lasted a few moments but when Hiei finally released him, Kurama was speechless. “Get the first-aid kit Fox before I bleed on the carpet.” Stunned, Kurama did as he was told, then silently treated Hiei’s injuries. None of them were very serious and Kurama finished quickly.
Hiei sat patiently on the windowsill, waiting for him put away the first-aid kit and face him. “Sit down Kurama, we need to talk.”
Irritated, Kurama sat on the edge of his bed. “Talk? That’s an understatement. Fine, talk, but when you’re done I have some questions, and I want answers.”
“We’re friends Kurama and as far as I’m concerned we can never be anything more. The kiss was just that, a kiss, and nothing more. Now ask your questions but I promise no answers.” Hiei sat solemnly, awaiting Kurama’s questions.
Frustrated, the fox rose from the bed and locked the window before turning back to Hiei. “I said I wanted answers and I intend to get them. First, if it was just a kiss, why did you do it again?”
“To shut you up.”
Thinking carefully about his next question the fox returned to sit on the bed. “Hiei, are you a virgin?”
“Wha… No.”
Amazed at the answer, questions race from his lips, “How can I know so much about you and not know you’ve had a lover? Or is it lovers? And who taught you how to kiss like that?”
Silence. Sadly, Hiei replied, not able to meet his fox’s eyes. “There has been only one. It was a long time ago. Fifty years before I met you. That person was not only my lover Kurama, but also my mate. And yes, that’s who taught me how to kiss.”
Kurama was stunned into a momentary silence, almost too numb to ask the next question. “M…m…mate? Don’t fire demons mate for life Hiei? Are you in love? Who is it and where is this mate now?”
Hiei almost didn’t answer. This hurt too much. But he had come this far, and if the answers convinced his stubborn fox that they had no future beyond friendship then his suffering would be worth it. Slowly he answered in a low voice, “Yes, Kurama, fire demons mate for life. Yes, we were in love, I still am. It’s none of your business who it was. As to where my mate is now, my mate is dead Kurama.”
Reaching up Hiei unlocked the window and left without another word. Kurama sat there stunned. After a few minutes the fox curled up on the bed, hugged his pillow, quiet tears running down his face.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
‘Get a grip Kurama!’ Kurama was in trouble and he knew it. Yusuke sensed it when they met to study yesterday, plaguing him with endless questions. Even Shiori felt it when they had lunch two days ago. Memories of that lunch made him uneasy. Kurama was beginning to think his mother knew of his feelings for Hiei, but discreetly avoided asking him directly. Upset by her son’s tired appearance and the dark circles under his eyes, Shiori asked him lots of questions, and a number of them involved Hiei but he couldn’t worry about that right now. He had to figure out what was happening to him.
Kurama was in his room getting ready for another of Yusuke’s parties. He didn’t really feel up to a party, but he was hoping to have a chance to talk to Genkai since the party was at her temple. With the psychic’s vast experience maybe she would be able to provide a clue as to what was happening to him.
Ever since the day he and Hiei had talked the fox had been having nightmares. No, actually it went back to the night of the kiss. At first they were just odd dreams that he couldn’t really remember. Gradually they had grown into full-fledged nightmares where Kurama wakes trembling and frightened, but of what he doesn’t know. The only thing he knows for sure is they involve Hiei. He still wakes with no memory of the events in the dream, just the sense that Hiei plays a major roll in whatever he is afraid of. Whatever was going on he needed answers, more importantly, he needed sleep. But how do you fight an enemy from within? How do you fight your dreams?
As he prepared to leave only one thought was on his mind. ‘I wonder if Hiei will be there?’
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dreams of the past were haunting Hiei’s nights. Memories of the past and more recently, his last encounter with Kurama were haunting his days. He had not seen his fox since that day almost two weeks ago, and he missed him. He needed to see him, and Yusuke’s party was the perfect opportunity. He knew he was playing with fire seeing Kurama again. Ever since the kiss he knew he might not be able to keep his vow, to be no more than his beloved Fox’s friend, but he couldn’t help himself. Spending even one more day without his beautiful fox would be like living a nightmare. He didn’t know if having Kurama in his life would take the nightmares away, but he intended to find out, tonight.
Hiei quietly approached Genkai’s temple and immediately followed Kurama’s ki to a small garden. Surprised, he found the fox under a tree fast asleep.
Hiei turned as he felt Yusuke come up beside him. “Is he okay?”
Yusuke shrugged. “Not really Hiei. He’s not been sleeping well, nightmares I think.”
The fire demon frowned, “Nightmares?”
Just then Kurama stirred restlessly, murmuring something in his sleep. Yusuke gestured to Hiei’s jagon. “Maybe you can help him.” Then he went back inside.
Hiei approached Kurama and sat down close to him. Reaching up, he ran his thumb across the fox’s worried brow, smoothing the creases there. Using the jagon, he spoke soothing words to Kurama’s mind. The fox immediately relaxed and turned into the fire demons soft caress. Inching closer, Hiei gently placed his arms around his fox and was rewarded when Kurama snuggled into them with a sigh.
Some time later shrill feminine laughter could be heard from inside the temple. Kurama sleepily stirred and opened his eyes. “Hiei” he sighed softly when he recognized his fire demon’s embrace.
“Stupid females. Go back to sleep Fox.” Annoyed, Hiei tried to settle Kurama back in his arms.
“I’m fine Hiei. I haven’t slept so well in weeks. How long was I asleep?” Kurama turned to face Hiei but stayed in his fire demons warm embrace.
“Almost two hours.”
The Fox smiled, “Thank you Hiei”. They sat quietly for some time, neither wanting to break the spell they were under. After a while they started to talk softly.
“Hiei, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have pushed you the other day. I know what you told me hurt you, but I’m glad you trusted me. Please tell me that we’re still friends. Even if you never let me be anything more, I need your friendship.” Not daring to met Hiei’s eyes, his hand absently played across the muscles on Hiei’s chest.
“Hn. Stupid Fox, of course we’re still friends.” Hiei’s fingers softly caressed his fox’s hair.
“I know you loved your mate, but do you think you could ever love again or at least want another lover some day?” Instinctively Kurama turned his head into the fire demons caress.
“Don’t know. What I want and what I will allow may not always be the same thing Kurama. Who knows, maybe someday.” Silently Hiei wished he would allow today to be that day.
“Hiei? Will you come home with me tonight? Hold me and help me sleep like you did earlier?” The fox’s face nuzzled his loves neck.
“Hn. Let’s go home Fox.” Standing, he held a hand out to help his fox up.
Kurama dragged Hiei inside to say their goodbyes. Then they walked to the fox’s apartment where they spent the night in a dreamless sleep, nestled in each others arms.
