MEMORIES OF A LOST LOVE - Chapter 2

Story� Dreams� �Thoughts�

It was the middle of the night and Hiei still held a restless Kurama as he slept. Somehow, he managed to get the nearly hysterical fox to the bed. He then held him and rocked him while offering soothing words to try to calm him. His fox had cried off and on well into the night occasionally muttering almost incoherently at the unfairness of the situation.

Hiei would not sleep tonight. He wanted to be there should his mate need him and he didn�t think he could handle dreaming of him with Kuronue right now. He also had a lot to think about. He promised Kurama he would never leave him, but would he be happier with his old lover? Would he be safe in Kuronue�s care?

Kurama stirred again holding tight to the fire demon and murmuring in his sleep, his dreams troubled. Hiei removed the ward over the jagon and offered his mate soothing dreams to quiet him so he could sleep in peace.

As dawn approached Hiei knew he had to make a choice. Let Kurama make a decision that could haunt him the rest of his life or make it for him. Koenma said both lovers had to wish it for Kuronue to return but that meant forcing Kurama to accept his decision. Hiei had dominance in their marriage, Kurama would accept it. The question was could he do it?

The first thing Kurama was aware of when he woke was how safe and loved he felt wrapped securely in Hiei's arms. He knew in that moment what choice he would make.

He loved Kuronue, the carefree, innocent, unencumbered love of youth. Given time he knew that love would have grown into the all-consuming love he felt for Hiei but they had been robbed of that time. He had run away the day Kuro died and for two hundred years lived with the regret. Given the same choice today, he would rather die with Hiei than live on without him.

Did that mean he loved Kuro less? No, just different. Loving Kuro had been fun, an adventure with great sex. Loving Hiei was that and so much more. Hiei was his friend, his love, his life, his whole world. Perhaps Kuro's reincarnation as Hiei was fate's way of righting the wrong made when Kuro was taken away from him.

Kurama was unsure of only one thing. How would he live with the regret of not taking what would be his only chance to see, hold and love Kuronue one last time. For a decision so easy to make, why was it so hard?

Hiei knew his fox was awake, but calm, so he left him to his thoughts. It was just after dawn when the golden eyes he loved so much looked into his with a smile. "Thank you Firefly. I know you helped me sleep. I'm sorry I turned into an emotional wreck last night. I was almost expecting it when Koenma told us about you having Kuro's soul but the rest was quite a shock."

Hiei gently stroked Kurama's back and hair as he held him close. "I know, it was the same for me, but how did you know about Kuronue?"

The Youko chuckled at his confused mate. "Remember I told you that sometimes you remind me of him. Well, the last few weeks you've been doing it more and more. I just finally put it all together right before Yusuke and Koenma came."

Hiei pouted. "Hn. It was reliving all those sexy dreams wasn't it?"

Kurama smiled and answered carefully so as not to hurt his lover's feelings. "Maybe a little. One good thing came out of all this. It sure has added some interesting changes to our sex life Koibito."

The fire demon gave his mate a mischievous smile. "Hn. Okay, so maybe that isn't such a bad thing. What else?"

"The biggest clue, other than the sex, was when you called me Foxie. No one but Kuro has ever called me that. There were little things too though. You were jealous and talkative. Two words I would never have used to describe you. Sweetheart, you turned down sweet snow. How could I not have noticed that? Oh, and you were checking out the girl�s cleavage at the temple, very un-Hiei-like." Kurama was teasing him now trying to cover his own jealousy.

"Kurama, I swear, I never noticed they had those things before! I don't know why I looked but I promise I will never touch. I would never betray you the way he did." Hiei was nervously trying to reassure his mate.

The fox laughed at his mate�s unease. "I know my love. You earned my trust a long time ago. I would never doubt you."

Hiei was relieved that his fox trusted him but still needed to know one thing. "Kurama? Does it bother you that I called you Foxie? If it does I won't do it again."

Kurama thought for a moment. "No Hiei-Koi, I always liked the nickname. Since he is a part of you now it's yours to use if you wish."

"I wish. There is something else I wish Foxie..." With that Hiei whispered in Kurama's ear what he wished for, amazed that he could make the centuries old Youko blush.

With a giggle, Kurama transformed into his mate�s redheaded lover. Then he pulled a seed from his hair, grew it into a long, ropelike vine that wrapped around his wrists. "Koibito, your every wish is my command."

Hiei was intently hard at the sight of the redhead tied and submissive. Pulling the sheet away Hiei groaned when he saw Kurama was also naked and aroused. �Hiei, please touch me. I love the feel of your hands on my body. Just the thought of your mouth on me and I�m ready to��

Kurama�s seductive teasing was abruptly cut off when Hiei kissed him. The kiss was brief but brutal. When Hiei pulled back it was to roughly shove Kurama�s legs apart. �You want my mouth on you Fox? Bend your knees my pet and I�ll pleasure you until you scream.�

And scream Kurama did as Hiei�s mouth descended on his erection. When ever Hiei had Kurama use his own vines to bind him up the fox never untied himself until his mate allowed it. Wanting to touch his mate Kurama pulled on the vines and begged to be released but as usual Hiei refused. Warm hands continued their assault on his body as Hiei raised his head. �No Fox, you will remain tied until I say otherwise. The only release I want to hear you beg for is your pleasure. If you get free of your bindings I will deny you that pleasure.�

Once again Hiei�s mouth was on him and Kurama arched off the bed trying to push further into that warm mouth. Hiei growled pushing Kurama back into the bed. �Bad Fox, I�m going to have to punish you for that.�

Kneeling between Kurama�s thighs Hiei pushed in. Though Hiei took his lover quickly he would never hurt his precious redhead. When Kurama moaned and began moving beneath him Hiei began to thrust. At first his movements were slow, his hands stroking along Kurama�s body causing him to whimper.

Quivering in pleasure Kurama�s moans grew louder when his nipples were pinched and licked. When Hiei licked and suckled at the sensitive spot on his neck Kurama wrapped his legs around the fire demon and begged for more. �Gods Hiei yes! Don�t stop, that feels so good! Please Hiei, I need more!�

Excited by his mate�s cries Hiei thrust faster. Feeling their end approaching Hiei whispered into Kurama�s ear. �Release your hands and touch me Kurama.�

Instantly the vines slipped away and Kurama clutched Hiei to him tightly. One hand went to the back of Hiei�s head keeping the fire demon�s mouth on his sensitive neck. Kurama�s other hand reached for Hiei�s firm behind letting his lover know exactly what he wanted.

Sensing Kurama�s need for release Hiei reached for Kurama�s erection changing the angle of his thrusts. Kurama screamed and climaxed within seconds. When the redhead�s body tightened around him Hiei too found his release. No words were needed as Hiei collapsed at Kurama�s side. Still clutched tightly in each other�s arms they slept.

Two days later Hiei woke to a strange sense of de ja vous, only this time, he, not Kurama, woke in an empty bed to find his mate looking out into the darkness of Makai. Rising, he hesitated, not sure if he should interrupt the fox�s thoughts. Tomorrow was the anniversary of Kuronue�s death. He and Kurama had not talked yet about what decision they would make. Maybe now was the time. He moved behind the Youko, wrapped his arms around him and laid his head on his back. �You okay?�

Leaning into Hiei�s warm embrace, the fox smiled sadly. �Yes Koibito, I was just thinking about tomorrow.�

The fire demon pulled them both down into the big chair by the window. �I think it�s time for us to discuss our options. You�ve had two days to think about it. Have you made a decision yet?�

Kurama turned in Hiei�s arms to stare at him in surprise. �What decision? There is nothing to decide. I will not lose you no matter what.�

Hiei�s heart soared at the conviction in his lover�s voice. �Hn. You won�t ever lose me Fox. I just don�t want you to have any more regrets about Kuronue.�

Tucking his face into the crook of Hiei�s neck the fox sighed. �I will always have regrets about him Hiei, but I will never regret keeping you. If I had one wish, it would be to have one day with Kuro. A chance to tell him how much I love him, how much I miss him and how sorry I am that I left him that day. A chance to hold him and love him one last time. That would be my wish, but I will never give you up to get it. I love you Hiei.�

�I love you too my beautiful Fox. My wish would be the power to grant your wish.� Hiei held Kurama tight as they watched the sun rise, waiting to see what this day would bring.

After breakfast Hiei watched curiously as his fox circled the perimeter their domain as if he were looking for something, occasionally stopping to talk with his plants. �Kurama, what the hell are you doing?�

Frustrated, Kurama stopped. �Hiei, I can�t shake the feeling that we are being watched. I�ve thought so for a couple of days now but my plants haven�t sensed anyone since Yusuke and Koenma left.�

Trusting his mate�s instincts, Hiei removed the ward over the jagon. �I felt it too Fox. I thought it might be Koenma watching us yesterday and contacted him. He assures me it�s not him. The jagon senses no one in the area. Perhaps it�s Kuronue we feel.�

�I don�t think so.� Kurama stepped forward and shouted to nothing in particular. �Show yourself! We know you�re out there!�

After a moment a brilliant light appeared in the clearing near the tree house. As the light faded a woman appeared. She was surrounded by a golden aura of light and when she spoke her voice felt like a caress. �Hello my children. I apologize if my presence disturbed you.�

Kurama moved to stand by his mate, who was staring open mouthed at the creature before them. Not that he could blame Hiei, she was beautiful. The woman had long, flowing blond hair, so fair it was almost white. Her skin was purer than the finest porcelain and she had large, sparkling midnight blue eyes. The dress she wore, if you could call it that for there wasn�t much of it, was made of an almost transparent, lavender silk, cut so low it left almost nothing to the imagination.

When he noticed Hiei openly ogling the woman�s voluptuous breasts Kurama nudged and scolded him. �Hiei!�

Hiei seemed to notice Kurama for the first time. �Uh�oops. Sorry Foxie.�

The jealous Youko moved between his mate and the woman, scowling as Hiei kept peeking around him. �Who are you and what do you want?� He practically growled at her, afraid he already knew the answer.

Her response was almost a purr. �I am the goddess of love Kurama and I am here to grant your wish.�

The Youko put out his arms, shielding his mate from her. �NO! I want nothing from you! I have everything I could wish for in Hiei!�

One elegant brow rose in surprise. �Interesting. At Lord Koenma�s request I have spent the last few days observing you both. He seems to think I should reconsider allowing Kuronue�s return. Now I wish to know more. I am most intrigued by your little love triangle. I can�t imagine Hiei would complain but tell me Kurama, do you and Shuuichi mind sharing a lover?�

Kurama wasn�t sure where she was going with this question but if it meant she left Hiei alone he would play along. �It�s not exactly a triangle. Both my demon and human aspects share one soul, I am him and he is me. Therefore Hiei only has one lover, me.�

The goddess nodded then turned to Hiei. �Fascinating, but I wonder Hiei if you share Kurama�s opinion on this. What he says would also apply to you and Kuronue. Since you share one soul then you are him and he is you. If Kurama were reunited with Kuronue, would you still be his lover?�

Kurama reluctantly allowed Hiei to move forward to answer but put an arm protectively around him. �Given the same circumstances, yes, I would be his lover in either form.�

The goddess seemed delighted with their answers. �Wonderful! Then Kurama, Hiei your wishes are granted.�

Kurama pulled Hiei into his arms as he turned on the goddess. �NO! I told you, all I want is Hiei! You can�t do this to us! You are the goddess of love, don�t you have a heart? You can�t just come in here and tell us who we can love! How can you be so cruel? I watched as Kuro was killed right before my eyes! Losing him hurt more than anything I have ever known! Losing Hiei would destroy me! I won�t allow it!�

Hiei managed to pull far enough away from his mate to draw his katana. �I will not allow anyone to hurt my fox!�

Both demons were stunned as the goddess began to laugh happily. �I think you both misunderstand. I said I was granting your wishes. You do remember them don�t you, the ones you made this morning? Kurama wished for a day with Kuronue and Hiei wished for Kurama�s wish. Those are the wishes I am granting.�

Hiei and Kurama stared at her in disbelief. Hiei sheathed his katana. Kurama had a sad look on his face, his voice almost a whisper when he spoke. �No, I won�t ask that of Hiei. It would be like betraying him with my old lover. I won�t hurt him like that.�

Hiei turned the Youko to face him. �Kurama, it�s not betraying me if it�s me. I want to do this for you. I don�t want you to have any regrets this time.�

Kurama hesitated then looked to the goddess. �If we agree to this, I would get Hiei back, right?�

She smiled. �Yes. His transformation is much like yours. Hiei, just concentrate as you focus your spirit energy and you will change forms. When you are ready to come back Kuronue will do the same. Now I must go. Enjoy yourselves and be happy.�

Kurama released Hiei and ran to the goddess. �Please wait! I haven�t thanked you.�

The light surrounding her brightened and she called back to them as she disappeared. �Love each other, that is all I ask.�

Still unsure, Kurama couldn�t meet Hiei�s eyes. �Hiei-Koi, are you sure? We don�t have to do this. I know by telling you how I feel that Kuro knows too. I won�t ask it of you.�

�Hiei loves you, Foxie. He would give you anything to make you happy, including me.�

Kurama�s head snapped up when he heard that voice. He nearly fainted at the sight that greeted him. Long black hair tied back in a high pony tail. A hat perched rakishly over elf like ears. A dark blue vest open over a well muscled chest. Tight black pants that hugged well sculpted hips and long legs. Lastly beautiful black wings caressed broad shoulders and an amused grin on his face. All this appeared before him as if from a dream but this was no dream. Standing before him was� �Kuronue!�

Kuronue chuckled, amused at Kurama's stunned expression. "I've been gone two hundred years Foxie, I think I at least deserve a kiss."

That was all the incentive Kurama needed to launch himself into Kuronue's arms. Braced for impact and using his wings for extra balance the Chimera managed to stay on his feet as he was pounced by an over exuberant Youko. He laughed as his lover kissed and licked him excitedly. "I missed you too Foxie."

The laughter left Kuronue's eyes as he grabbed Kurama and pressed him against a tree. Deep indigo eyes met gold before the Chimera lowered his head for a heart-stopping kiss.

Instinctively Kuronue's hand moved to undo the sash at the Youko's waist. The sash was on the ground and the fox's tunic was half off before Kurama came to his senses enough to slow things down. "Kuro wait. I'm not ready for this. It feels strange after all this time. It's been decades since I�ve been with anyone but Hiei. I know you are the same but it still feels like I'm betraying him."

Kuronue rested his forehead against Kurama's and drew a deep breath. "It's alright Kurama, I understand. Maybe we should talk first."

The fox smiled as he nodded and moved to right his clothes. He then took his lover's hand and led him into the forest. He wasn't comfortable taking his old lover into Hiei's home. Deep in the forest he had a special place he went sometimes to be alone. Hiei knew of it of course, but understanding his mate�s occasional need for solitude, he had never intruded there. Surrounded by thick trees were lush grass, plants and an abundance of flowers, a Youko's garden paradise.

Kurama pulled Kuro to sit beside him in the grass. He reached out a tentative hand to touch his lover's cheek in utter amazement. "Baby I can't believe you're really here. I have so many things to say to you, I don't even know were to start."

Kuro pulled the Youko's tail into his lap and began stroking it. "I already know Foxie. I know you love me and missed me. I, however, am not sorry you ran away that day, because it means you lived to be here now, for me... and Hiei."

With happy tears in his eyes Kurama laughed and hugged Kuro. "You know what I say to Hiei don't you? How long have you known?"

Knowing his lover still needed time Kuro pulled back and continued stroking the Youko�s tail. "Yes, when you are with him, I am aware. It�s as if I�m with you too. I don't have actual memories of Hiei's past, before you, but have learned of it over the years. The first real memories of his I have happened when he first saw you. It was like I awakened and my life began again only for you. Then the idiot screwed up and lost you. I'm sure it was me constantly nagging his subconscious, along with his own need to see you that made him find you again. I've tried to make him aware of me before, unsuccessfully. Then a few weeks ago my memories started flooding his dreams. I tried to control what he saw, I wanted him to willingly accept what we meant to each other. You know the rest."

�Yes, Baby, I do, I got you back.� Kurama�s response was almost a sigh. Coherent thought was becoming difficult for the fox.

Kurama was being slowly tortured with pleasure. A Youko�s tail is only one of his many erogenous zones. Kuronue knew this fact and was using the information to drive his lover crazy. Slowly, he crawled over Kurama, pushing him down into the grass. Several minutes later they were lying in each other�s arms trying to catch their breath. Kuro brushed hair from Kurama�s eyes as he looked down at the fox�s dreamy expression. �You�ve changed Foxie.�

Kurama�s smile faded. Kuronue was quick to reassure his fox. �No, I didn�t mean in a bad way. Actually, you were changing even before I left. In the beginning we were two strong males fighting for dominance at every turn. It was fun but at the same time almost tiring. In the last few years we were together you didn�t fight quite so hard. I began to think you preferred me in the dominant role, at least in our private life. The change in you continued with Hiei, especially after you became human. Now you seem to thrive on his dominance.�

Thinking a moment, Kurama couldn�t disagree. �You�re right, I do prefer the more submissive role and it started years before you died. At first I was trying to keep you away from those women. Then I realized being dominated really turned me on but I didn�t want you to know it, me being a macho male and all. After you died I went back to the dominant role. Losing you hurt so much my Darling and I refused to be vulnerable like that again. Then Hiei claimed me. He fought harder than you did and rarely allowed me dominance in our private life. After being human I rarely asked for it.�

Kuronue rolled Kurama on top and held him tight. �I�m sorry my leaving hurt you. I�m even more sorry I betrayed you. You were right about the woman, I never really wanted her. Don�t look so surprised, there really was only one. Sometimes I just got tired of having to fight to love you. After that last time you found out about her I never went back. You were everything I needed and I never wanted to see that hurt look in your eyes again.�

The fox nuzzled Kuro�s neck. �I guess we both changed. Kuro, if you had lived, do you think we would have mated?�

Kuronue answered without hesitation as he tipped his head back giving his fox�s wandering lips better access to neck. �Yes, eventually. We�re soul mates and we will always be together. We�re both older and more mature now. I no longer look at you threw the innocent eyes of youth but with the eyes of a man in love.�

�I�m glad you feel that way. If you will allow me a moment of dominance there�s something I should have done a long time ago.� There was mischief in the Youko�s golden eyes as he held the Chimera to the ground. Kurama covered his mouth in a deep kiss then before Kuronue could recover nuzzled his neck and sank his fangs into his soft flesh.

Kuronue gasped in surprise but willingly allowed his lover to mark him. He only spoke when he felt a warm tongue cleaning the fresh wound. �Hey Foxie, I thought Hiei and I had dominance in this relationship?�

Kurama purred his response. �Of course you do Baby but Hiei and I are already marked and I didn�t want you to feel left out.�

Quickly reversing their positions Kuronue pinned his new mate to the ground. �I�ll concede I can�t mark myself but I will be the one claiming my mate tonight my beautiful Fox.�

Kurama shivered as he surrendered to his mate but as they kissed and began to undress each other Kuronue still felt some hesitation. �What�s wrong Foxie?�

The fox tried to draw Kuronue back into their love play without answering but the Chimera wouldn�t play without an answer. �Kuro, I want this so much but I can�t help thinking of Hiei. Are you sure he�s alright with this?�

�Kurama, through Hiei I have been your lover for years. Tonight he will be your lover through me. Foxie, I wouldn�t be here if it weren�t for him. You told him you wanted one last chance to love me and because he loves you he gave me to you. You won�t return his gift without unwrapping it first now will you?� With the last statement he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Kurama giggled. �Oh no, we can�t have that. My human mother would never allow me to be so rude as to return a gift, especially without unwrapping it first to see if I like it.�

Several minutes later, after making sure Kuronue was completely unwrapped, Kurama sighed contentedly. �My Hiei always gives me the best gifts, he knows just what I like.�

Kuronue chuckled. �Maybe you should try me on, you know, make sure I�m a good fit and work to your ah� satisfaction.�

Kurama was enjoying their game. �Baby, I thought you knew, I�ve had one of these models before. They are very hard to come by, I had to wait two hundred years to replace my last one. He fit perfectly and always gave me complete ah� satisfaction.�

�Oh, but that was the old �Lover� version I am the new improved �Mate� model. I promise you will be more than pleased with my performance so just lay back and enjoy the ride my love.� The game was over, Kuronue was ready to make love.

Kurama surrendered without hesitation. �I love you Kuro, I love you both so much.�

As Kuronue�s lips moved across his skin Kurama�s clothes were pushed aside. Reaching up the Youko pulled the tie from his lover�s long hair, smiling as it cascaded around them. As the Chimera moved lower Kurama�s skin quivered where soft black hair caressed it.

One lick on his erection and Kurama was immediately reminded of that this was not Hiei on him. Hiei�s tongue was firm, slightly course and quick. Kuronue�s was long, smooth and wet as it swirled around him causing him to moan. �Gods Kuro, I love it when you do that.�

One long fingered hand caressed along Kurama�s leg before moving up to caress his chest and neck as the other touched him more intimately. Seeing the Youko�s head thrashing in pleasure Kuronue knew just what to do to send his lover over the edge. The Chimera�s free hand moved from Kurama�s neck to scratch and stroke the Youko�s tail. Kuronue smirked as Kurama screamed his release.

Not giving Kurama time to recover Kuronue moved over him and claimed his mate. Kurama moaned in contented pleasure as they began the lover�s dance they had been denied for two hundred years. Not wanting to miss a moment of the Youko�s pleasure Kuronue rolled them. Knowing what his lover wanted Kurama rose to his knees. Kuronue held Kurama�s hips as the Youko rode him. Biting his lip he watched as Kurama�s hands ghosted along both their bodies eliciting moans from both demons.

Needing to hold his fox Kuronue sat up with Kurama still in his lap. Arms around each other they continued their love dance. �Kuro! Hold me tighter! Don�t ever let me go!�

Kurama�s voice was nearly hysterical and Kuronue knew he needed reassurance. �Open your eyes Foxie. Look at me, I�m right here.�

Still moving together sad golden eyes looked deep into indigo. �And tomorrow you�ll leave me forever.�

Kuronue thrust up causing his lover to close his eyes and moan in pleasure. A hand on Kurama�s chin brought golden eyes back to indigo. �Foxie, every time Hiei kisses you I�m kissing you. Every time he holds you I�m holding you. Every time he makes love to you I�m making love to you. We are soul mates Kurama and I will always be with you.�

Winding his fingers in Kurama�s long silver hair Kuronue pulled him in for a passionate kiss. The tempo of their dance increased and before long Kurama�s back arched as he climaxed. �Kuro!�

A moment later Kuronue�s voice rang threw the garden. �Yoko!�

"Kuro-Baby?"

"Hn?"

"How long?"

"Not much longer."

Kurama nodded his acceptance.

The reunited lovers were lying naked in the grass allowing the morning sun to dry them after sharing a very enjoyable bath. The only contact between them was their intertwined fingers. They had not slept, neither wanting to lose even a minute of the precious time they had together. They had laughed, played, talked and loved the entire night. Now, as their time together grew short, they lay quiet, not knowing how to say good-bye.

"Foxie?"

"Yes Baby?"

"Any regrets?"

"No Kuro-Baby, not one."

"Good, that's what Hiei wanted."

Together they dressed and brushed out each other's long hair. They knew the time had come and moved into each other's arms one last time.

They were about to kiss when Kuronue pulled back. "Someone's coming."

Kurama turned his head and smiled. "It's alright. It's only Yusuke."

As he spoke Yusuke came running into the clearing. Absently he saw the embracing lovers but stopped and bent over, resting his hands on his knees to catch his breath. "Hey guys. How'd it go yesterday? Any prob... ?"

Yusuke looked up. Kurama smiled at his expression. "Yusuke, welcome. I'd like you to meet Kuronue, my... "

The Youko looked on in disbelief then amusement at Yusuke�s shocked expression. Yusuke was pointing at Kuronue. "Kurama! What�s the hell is HE doing here? Where�s Hiei?�

�Hiei�s�� Kurama tried to explain but the former spirit detective was on a roll.

�How could you do this to Hiei after everything he went through to prove his love to you?! I don�t care how much you cared for this guy, Hiei�s your mate! He�s your best friend and teammate! He deserves your loyalty! You of all people should know how hard it was for him to give you his heart and you��

Yusuke�s tirade was abruptly cut off. Before he could blink he was wrapped from chest to knees in vines and suspended from the trees. He tried to protest but was cut off again when a large sticky leaf was clamped over his mouth.

Kurama and Kuronue could only laugh as Yusuke struggled in vain to escape his leafy prison. �Foxie, thanks for reminding me of why I often let you win our fights.�

Kurama called up to his dangling friend. �Yusuke, after all these years you should know better than to jump to conclusions, especially with me.�

Kuronue pulled his lover back into his arms. �How long will you leave him there?�

The fox nuzzled his face into his mate�s neck. �At least long enough for Hiei to have a little fun.�

The squirming detective was forgotten as Kurama and Kuronue held each other for the last time. Knowing to prolong their good-bye would only make it harder, they kissed, whispered I love you and I�ll miss you then Kuronue stepped back and became Hiei once again.

The Youko looked shyly at Hiei, moving slowly towards him. �Hiei-Koi, are you alright?�

Hiei pulled his mate into his arms. �I�m fine Fox. Are you going to be okay?�

Adjusting to cuddle into his shorter mate�s embrace Kurama reassured him. �I have everything I need right here in my arms. Koibito, how will I ever thank you for what you have given me?�

The fire demon pulled his love back by the scruff to look him in the eyes. �No regrets. That�s all the thanks I want.�

Knowing no other words were necessary the two shared a long, passionate kiss.

They were so wrapped up in each other they had forgotten Yusuke until they heard the voices of the rest of the family as they approached.

Keiko, undisturbed at finding her husband hanging from a tree, was the first to make her presence known. �YUSUKE YOU JERK! You could have waited for us!�

Koenma couldn�t resist teasing his former spirit detective. �You know Yusuke, I think a red face and bulging eyes might look even better on you than me.�

Botan giggled. �I don�t know Koenma, he looks more purple to me.�

Kuwabara was on the ground laughing. �Hey Urameshi, what�d you do to piss off Kurama?�

Hiei smirked. �Hn. The fool should know better than to doubt my Fox.�

Yukina heard Hiei and rushed forward. �Oh Hiei, I�m so glad you�re alright. Not that I doubted Kurama of course but after what Yusuke told us we just had to come see that you were both alright.�

Hiei drew his katana and approached Yusuke. �I should kill you Detective, for making my sister worry.�

With one slice of the katana Yusuke landed hard on the ground. Kurama rushed over concerned. �Hiei! My plants!�

With a sheepish look Hiei sheathed his katana. �Sorry Foxie.�

Yusuke had removed the leaf from his mouth and was pulling sticky stuff out of his hair. �Kurama what the hell is this shit, it tastes like crap!�

Everyone laughed. Keiko took pity on him and went with him to the stream to clean up. The ever-curious Botan was the first to broach the subject everyone wanted to know. �Well, are you going to tell us what happened?�

Kurama looked shyly at Hiei before answering. �Maybe later.�

Everyone was disappointed but respected their friend�s privacy. Hiei and Kurama were all right, that was all that really mattered.

Hiei smiled to himself as he watched his mate with their family. Kurama loved a party and that�s what this visit quickly became as drinks were served and food was gathered. Hiei of course was standing some distance away leaning against a tree.

Everyone was enjoying themselves accept Koenma. He was secretly watching the fire demon as he eased his way closer. It wasn�t long before he was within earshot. �You should leave the spying to the detective Koenma.�

Knowing he was caught he turned to Hiei. �Walk with me. We have to talk.�

Hiei glanced to see that his fox was alright and wouldn�t miss him before walking off with Koenma. They remained silent until they were out of sight of the others. �Hiei, I am aware of the wish you and Kurama were granted yesterday. I don�t intend to pry into your affairs but may I assume from the kiss I saw earlier that everything went well?�

Hiei considered the question before answering. �Yes.�

Koenma smiled at the brief response. �Good, that will make things easier. The wish that was granted is a little more complicated than the goddess led you to believe.�

Hiei rested his hand on the hilt of his katana and growled in a low voice. �If my fox gets hurt the killing will start with you.�
