HIEI�S LOVE
Chapter 3

It was early afternoon as Kurama and Hiei approached Shiori�s house. Kurama was having trouble hiding his amusement as Hiei tried to hide his unease. Shiori had always been kind to him, treating him almost like one of her sons. Hiei was secretly afraid that that fragile relationship was about to end and he didn�t know how he would handle being rejected by the closest thing he known to a mother. Following Kurama into the house Hiei tried to prepare himself for what was to come. �Mother, are you home?�
The kitchen door flew open as Shiori, followed closely by Roger, came rushing out. �Shuuichi, Hiei, I�m so glad you�re back.�
After Shiori gave them each a quick hug, Hiei was surprised to see her look at them expectantly. �So, are you getting married?�
Drawing a breath Kurama gave her a serious look. �No Mother, we�re not. Demons don�t get married, we mate. Hiei has however agreed to allow me to court him with the intention of us being mated some time in the future.�
Hiei�s eyes widened when Shiori squealed. When she came at him with her arms raised Hiei closed his eyes and braced himself for a blow but no blow fell. Comforting arms surrounded him and Hiei opened his eyes to find himself in Shiori�s arms. �Oh Hiei, I�m so happy for you both! You are such a sweet man, I know you�ll make my Shuuichi happy.�
Another kiss landed on Hiei�s cheek before Shiori moved away to hug Kurama. Over her shoulder Kurama could no longer hide his smile as he looked at Hiei. Hiei glared at Kurama as Roger congratulated them both. �It�s a good thing you two came right back. Shiori�s been so anxious to see if you boys worked things out I thought I was going to have to follow her to Makai when she went looking for you.�
Playfully, Shiori shoved Roger but laughing he managed to pull her into his arms. �Now Roger, I wasn�t that bad. I just want my boys to be happy.�
Still smiling, Kurama put an arm around a still glaring Hiei. �Don�t be mad Hiei. I just had to tease you. I told you that she loves you but you wouldn�t believe me.�
From the looks on their faces it was obvious that Shiori and Roger knew they were missing something. Feeling Hiei begin to relax Kurama explained. �Mother, Hiei thought you were going to be mad at him because I wasn�t getting married. He thought you might resent him because, as two males, we can�t give you grandchildren.�
Shiori�s mouth opened in shock. �Oh Hiei, no! I could never be mad at you. I love you like one of my sons. In fact, now that you are engaged to Shuuichi I want you to call me mother. And don�t worry, I�ll just start working on Kokota to provide me with grandchildren.�
Hiei blushed. Tipping his head closer to Kurama, he whispered. �What does engaged mean Fox?�
Shiori tried to cover her giggle at his innocent question and grinned at Roger as Kurama explained. �When two people are planning to get married they are engaged. Since we�re planning to mate it�s almost the same thing. In this culture our engagement means that you are a member of our family, therefore my mother is now your mother as well.�
Realizing the honor bestowed on him Hiei glanced shyly at Shiori. �Thank you� Mother.�
Shiori gave him a beautiful smile. �You�re welcome Hiei. Now lets go see what we can do about lunch.�
When Shiori and Roger went into the kitchen Kurama took Hiei in his arms. �Welcome to the family Hiei.�
Hiei was prevented from responding when Kurama�s lips claimed his in a passionate kiss. Neither saw Roger poke his head around the door to see what was keeping them. Grinning he went back to Shiori. �They�ll be along in a minute. They�re� um��
With a grin Shiori pushed past him to peek into the other room. Seeing them kissing, Shiori�s smile grew as she closed the door again. �Oh that is so sweet. Roger, thank you so much for helping me see how they felt about each other. Now I know my son will be happy.�
Roger pulled Shiori into his arms. �I think your boys are on to something. Let�s see if I can make you blush as cutely as Hiei does.�
Shiori did indeed blush when Roger leaned down to take Shiori�s lips in a gentle kiss. Neither couple minded that, for the moment, lunch was forgotten.

An hour later they were all sitting around the dining room table talking as they finished lunch. As usual Hiei only participated when necessary. Kurama hadn�t failed to notice the grins and glances between his mother and Roger. Patiently he waited and eventually Roger cleared his throat to get his attention. �Kur� um� Shuuichi, as you��
A call from the front door interrupted him. �Mom, Shuuichi, is anyone home?�
With a smile Shiori jumped up. �Kokota! Oh Honey, welcome home. Why didn�t you tell us you were coming? We would have waited to have lunch with you.�
Joining his mother Kurama waited for her to release his stepbrother before giving him a brotherly hug. �Welcome home Little Brother. You should have called, I would have picked you up at the train station.�
Kokota smiled. �Thanks Bro but it�s not a long walk. Besides, I wanted to surprise you. Is that Hiei? Hey man, I haven�t seen you in ages. You�ve grown.�
When Kokota addressed him Hiei moved to Kurama�s side. �Hn.�
Kokota laughed. �Eloquent as always Hiei.�
Before they could say anything else Kokota caught sight of Roger. Giving the stranger a wary look Kokota looked to Shiori. With a nervous giggle Shiori introduced them. �Roger, come meet my son, Kokota. Honey, this is my friend Roger Yamato.�
Extending his hand, Roger smiled at Kokota. �It�s nice to finally meet you Kokota. Your mother�s told me a lot about you.�
Assessing the situation correctly Kokota glared at Roger but didn�t take his hand. When he answered his voice was more than a little hostel. �I�ll bet she has. Too bad she didn�t tell me about you.�
Shiori gasped. �Kokota!�
Grabbing his backpack Kokota headed for the stairs calling over his shoulder. �I�ll be in my room.�
Obviously upset, Shiori would have followed him but Kurama stopped her. �No Mother, let me go. You forget, I�ve been in his shoes. It�s not easy to accept another man trying to take your father�s place in your mother�s heart.�
Before he turned to the stairs Kurama looked at Hiei. Knowing the fire demon would be uncomfortable being left with �the ningens� Kurama held out his hand. �Are you coming Koi?�
Hand in hand Kurama and Hiei went upstairs. Kurama was a little surprised when Hiei didn�t head to his room but followed him to Kokota�s. Knocking on the door Kurama called out. �Kokota, it�s Shuuichi and Hiei. Can we come in?�
There was a pause before they heard a grudging �whatever�. Entering the room they found Kokota face down on his bed. Kurama was about to speak when Kokota interrupted him. �Go ahead, tell me how rude I was and that I need to apologize. Guess what? I don�t care. Who is that guy anyway?�
When Kurama sat on the side of the bed Hiei went to the window. Seeing it had the same wide ledge that Kurama�s did Hiei hopped up and turned his back on the brothers. �Kokota, I�m not going to lecture you. I know when you calm down you�ll make things right with Mom. You should cut Roger some slack though. He�s a nice man, he hasn�t done anything wrong.�
Frowning, Kokota turned to look at Kurama. �He�s Mom�s boyfriend! Isn�t that enough?�
Kurama smiled. �Unfortunately no, it�s not. Our parents were each alone a long time before they found each other and fell in love. I think you�ll agree that it was nice that they could find happiness again. Well, Mom�s going through that all over again since Kazuya�s death. She�s been alone two years grieving the loss of another husband. Don�t you think we should be glad that she�s found someone that can make her happy again?�
With a pout Kokota shrugged. �I guess, but why did you both keep it a secret from me? I didn�t like it sprung on me like that.�
Laughing, Kurama ruffled Kokota�s hair. �Well, if you�d let us know you were coming I�m sure Mother would have found a better way to tell you. As for me, I only found out a few days ago myself.�
Looking contrite Kokota sat up. �Guess I overreacted a little. I�ll go talk to Mom.�
Before he could get up Kurama stopped him. �Before you go, there�s something Hiei and I want to tell you. I don�t want you to think we were keeping a secret from you either, this just happened. I�m not going to marry Sheala� because I�m in love with Hiei.�
Kurama waited, not sure what his stepbrother�s reaction would be. He wasn�t expecting Kokota to laugh. �That�s awesome man. Sheala was hot and all but way too full of herself. As for you and Hiei, I�ve known that you guys had the hots for each other for years. It�s about time you two finally figured it out. How�d Mom take it?�
Shaking his head, Kurama smiled. �She was incredible. She told Sheala and her parents that she wouldn�t allow me to enter a loveless marriage because I loved someone else. Then she basically scolded me for being stupid enough to let Hiei go and sent me after him.�
Kokota smile. �She really is a great mom. I guess I�d better go down and talk to her� and Roger.�
As Kokota left the room he saw Hiei hop down and go to Kurama. Over his shoulder he called back. �Hey, no making out in my room you guys!�
Kurama put an arm around Hiei�s shoulder and grinned down at him. �I�ve got a better idea, let�s go to my room and make out Shadow.�
Hiei rolled his eyes but allowed Kurama to pull him from the room. �Horny Fox.�

An hour later when a knock sounded on the bedroom door Kurama�s hand quickly moved to clamp over Hiei�s mouth. �Shuuichi? Mom wants to see you and Hiei down stairs.�
Lifting his lips from the nipple he�d been tormenting Kurama smiled up at Hiei before answering calmly. �Thanks Kokota. We�ll be down shortly.�
After waiting for Kokota to walk away Kurama leaned down and licked the taut nipple before him eliciting a muffled moan from Hiei. Beneath him Hiei lay on his back with Kurama settled between his legs. Much to Kurama�s disappointment they were both still fully dressed accept where Hiei�s t-shirt was pulled up, exposing his chest. When Kurama blew across his moist nipple Hiei arched up, rubbing his arousal against Kurama�s abdomen making him moan louder.
Kurama was enjoying Hiei�s pleasure so much he failed to notice the passion in his red eyes change to a glare just before sharp fangs pierced his palm. With a yelp Kurama removed his hand. �Ow Hiei, you little demon, that hurt.�
Giving Kurama a shove Hiei growled. �Get off me Fox.�
Pulling back to kneel before Hiei, Kurama watched him sit up and pull his knees to his chest. With a frown Kurama reached out to Hiei but dropped his hand when Hiei flinched. �Shadow, what�s wrong? I thought you were enjoying my kisses and touches.�
Looking away Hiei blushed. �I was� I guess, I just��
When Hiei just shrugged but didn�t finish Kurama moved closer forcing red eyes to meet his. �It�s alright Hiei. You can talk to me about anything Koi.�
Hiei�s blush deepened as his eyes shyly met Kurama�s. �It�s not that I don�t like what you do to me Fox, I just don�t understand why it makes me feel� funny.�
Leaning in to kiss Hiei�s nose Kurama smiled at him. �That �funny� feeling is called desire Hiei. Intimate contact, like kissing and touching, between lovers is physically stimulating, but when two people are in love that feeling in greatly increased. There�s no need to worry Hiei, I have those same feelings when we kiss and touch.�
Red eyes widened. �You do? I thought something was wrong with me.�
Laughing happily Kurama reached out to hug Hiei. �No Shadow, there�s nothing wrong with you, I promise. I also promise not to rush you and I don�t want you to be afraid to talk to me if there�s anything you don�t understand.�
With a sigh Hiei returned the hug and Kurama kissed him. �I hate to let you go now Koi, but Mother and the others are waiting. We�ll have to continue this later.�
Giving Hiei one last kiss Kurama drew him from the bed. Heading downstairs they found Shiori, Roger and Kokota talking in the living room. Looking up at them Shiori smiled. �Oh Shuuichi, Hiei, there you are. Roger�s daughter Simone is coming over to meet you all. Before she gets here we thought it would be a good idea to have a talk with Kokota about the two of you.�
Kurama smiled. �Actually Mother, I told Kokota that Hiei and I were together a little while ago.�
Shiori grinned. �I�m glad to hear that Shuuichi, but it�s not what I meant. Roger hasn�t kept his past a secret from Simone. With all of us knowing about your and Hiei�s past don�t you think it would be easier if Kokota knew as well?�
After looking to Hiei for approval Kurama nodded. �Kokota actually knows a little Mother. As my nosy little brother he noticed a few things that weren�t easy to explain. So we let his imagination run wild and he created us a viable cover story.�
Through all of this Kokota had sat watching them with a frown. At Kurama�s last words however he looked surprised. �You mean Mom finally knows? I thought it was a secret.�
Looking a little uncomfortable Kurama shrugged. �It was a secret Kokota but not the one we allowed you to believe. Hiei and I are not spies nor do we have special gadgets that allow us to do some of the things we do. The truth is� Hiei and I are demons.�
Kokota frowned. �Demons? Shuuichi how can that be? I mean, I can almost believe it about Hiei, but you? No way.�
Drawing a breath Kurama reached into his hair for a seed. As he spoke he slowly transformed the seed into a beautiful rose. �Centuries ago I was born in Makai. I was a famous Youko thief named Yoko Kurama. After being mortally wounded I transferred my soul to the human world and was reborn as Shuuichi Minamino. By the time I was a teenager I had regained my demon powers. As you can see I�m a plant manipulator.�
Kokota�s eyes were huge as he looked down at the rose Kurama had grown. Kokota jumped when Hiei suddenly spoke. �I came to the human world when Kurama�s human body was just a boy. I�m a fire demon and master of the black dragon.�
To prove his point Hiei held out his right hand. In his palm a ball of fire appeared. Rolling the fireball onto the back of his hand Hiei flared his ki and the dragon tattoo on his arm reared it�s head and swallowed the fireball before returning to rest on Hiei�s arm. Kokota looked on in awe. �Wow! That was so cool! Way cooler than the stuff I saw as a kid. What about the spy stuff though and the missions I overheard you talking about?�
Kurama smiled. �When we were younger Hiei and I got in some trouble. Our punishment was to work for Reikai as spirit detectives with Yusuke and Kuwabara. We did go on missions but they were mostly to protect the human world from demon invaders.�
Kurama smiled as Kokota�s concern turned to Shiori. �Mom, are you okay with all of this?�
Shiori smiled. �I am now, though it was quite a shock at first. Shuuichi and Hiei rushed in here the other day and practically attacked Roger.�
All eyes turned to Roger. �When I was a teenager I too was a human sprit detective working for Reikai. Kurama and Hiei sensed my spirit energy and thought Shiori was in danger. Believe me, the business end of Hiei�s katana is not a fun place to be.�
Shaking his head Kokota laughed. �Damn Shuuichi, you thought I handled Mom dating bad. At least I didn�t try to skewer him.�
At that they all laughed. Just then the doorbell rang and Roger stood up. �I�ll bet that�s my daughter.�
Shiori hurried to join him at the door. A moment later Shiori and Roger returned to the living room accompanied by a lovely young woman who looked to be in her late teens or early twenties. Simone had big hazel eyes and brown hair that bobbed just above her shoulders. It wasn�t surprising that, as the daughter of a former spirit detective, Kurama and Hiei didn�t fail to notice her rather strong spirit energy.
When Kurama rose politely, Hiei and Kokota followed suite. Shiori smiled brightly as she began the introductions. �Simone, I�d like you to meet my sons. This is my oldest son Shuuichi, my youngest son Kokota and my newest son Hiei. Boys I�d like you to meet Roger�s daughter Simone.�
Living up to his reputation, Kurama graciously welcomed the newcomer. �I�m sure I speak for all of us Simone when I say it�s a pleasure to meet you.�
Large hazel eyes looked back and forth from Kurama to Hiei. When she spoke Simone�s voice was filled with awe. �This is incredible. I can�t believe I�m actually meeting you. My dad kind of keeps track of his successors so when we heard team Urameshi was fighting in the dark tournament I got to listen to most of your matches on a special radio.�
Before anyone could stop her Simone drew a deep breath and continued. �Those fights were awesome. Hiei, I would give anything to have seen you use the black dragon. Kurama, when Uraurishima brought Yoko Kurama out I could have fainted, I hear he�s so hot. I hope I get to see your Youko form some day. I was on the edge of my seat when you all fought teem Toguro. I thought for sure Hiei was a goner when the dragon ate him. I even cried when the announcer thought that Karasu had killed Kurama.�
Seeing Shiori�s distress at Simone�s last comment Roger put his hands on his daughter�s shoulders. �Simone, that�s enough. I told you that Shiori just learned of Shuuichi�s past. I think he�d rather tell her about the dark tournament in his own way.�
Concern filled Simone�s eyes as she looked at Shiori. �Oh Shiori, I�m so sorry, I didn�t mean to upset you. It�s just that of all the Reikai Tante I�ve heard about over the years Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke and yes, even Kuwabara, are like my heroes. It�s just so exciting to actually meet them.�
Shiori smiled at her. �I�m not sure I like the sound of this dark tournament you mentioned so I think I�d like to wait for my son to give me the sugar coated version.�
At that everyone laughed accept Kokota. �This is just great. Once again I�m the last one to know about something. Even my mom�s boyfriend�s daughter knows more about what�s going on around here than I do.�
Simone�s big hazel eyes sparkled up at Kokota. �You think you don�t know anything now? Just wait until you bring home a girlfriend Kokota. She and your mom will keep absolutely everything from you.�
Again everyone laughed and, with a blush, Kokota joined in.

Believing it would help everyone get to know each other better Shiori and Roger had taken them all out to dinner. Surprisingly, even with the earlier tension Kokota had caused, dinner went well. After finding out they attended the same university Simone got over her demon worship and hit it off great with Kokota. By the time dinner was over and they returned to the house they had arranged to take the train back to school together on Sunday.
Before they could call it a night Roger got everyone�s attention. �Could everyone have a seat in the living room please?�
Knowing Hiei wouldn�t want to sit by anyone but him, Kurama took a seat in the chair. Hiei immediately perched on the arm well away from the others. Kurama had a good idea what was coming as he saw Roger take Shiori�s hand with a wink before addressing them �Kurama, as the oldest I should probably be speaking to you but with two other men in the family I think it would be best to do this as a group. Kurama, Kokota, Hiei, I�ve asked your mother to marry me and we would like your blessing.�
Simone gave a squeal and jumped up to hug first her father and then Shiori. �Oh Daddy, Shiori, congratulations! This is awesome! I can�t wait� Oops, sorry Kurama. I guess I should have let you answer first.�
Kurama smiled at his future stepsister before turning to gauge Kokota�s reaction. �What do you think Little Brother? Would it be alright to welcome Simone as our new sister?�
From Shiori�s side Simone�s big hazel eyes looked at Kokota pleadingly. With a sigh he shrugged. �I guess I don�t have any objections, but you might want to check with Hiei. He�s the one that doesn�t like new people.�
Surprised that both Roger and Kokota considered his opinion important Hiei shifted uncomfortably when all eyes turned to him. When Kurama�s hand rested reassuringly on his leg Hiei relaxed. �Why would I object? Maybe now Kurama will stop worrying so much about his mother with a former spirit detective protecting her.�
Glancing up at Shiori, Hiei blushed when she smiled and whispered. �Your mother too Hiei.�
Kurama stood. �I guess that makes it unanimous. Roger, Mother, you have our blessing. Simone, you should know that Mother has always wanted a daughter to spoil, so look out. Not to mention, do you think you can handle having three big brothers?�
Simone laughed. �I�ve always wanted a big family and I haven�t really ever had a mother so I think I can handle it.�
Kurama kissed his mother then congratulated Roger before slipping into the kitchen. Hiei of course was right on his heels. Kurama paused long enough to give Hiei a lingering kiss before taking out a bottle of champagne left over from New Year�s. �Fox, what�s that for?�
Smiling at his lover Kurama stole another kiss. �It�s tradition to celebrate an engagement with a toast.�
Handing Hiei a tray of glasses Kurama picked up the champagne and headed back to the living room. The popping cork caught everyone�s attention. Shiori was smiling and giggling like a girl. �Shuuichi, what a wonderful idea. I should have thought of that when you and Hiei came home. Isn�t this wonderful? Now we have two engagements to celebrate.�
Simone clapped her hands excitedly. �Oh thank goodness! I�ve been wondering about them all night but been too embarrassed to ask. You two are perfect for each other. This is wonderful. Daddy and Shiori AND Kurama and Hiei. Hey Kokota, if we get engaged too then we�d really be one big happy family.�
When Kokota�s eyes got as big as saucers and he blushed everyone laughed. Taking pity on his stepbrother Kurama handed him a glass of champagne. �I don�t know Simone, I�m not sure my brother�s ready to give up all his girlfriends just yet. When he graduates though he might be fair game because Mother�s dying to have a few grandchildren. Since Hiei and I can�t give them to her that duty will fall to the two of you.�
Now it was Simone�s eyes that widened. �Sorry to disappoint you Kokota but I can�t marry you right now. I definitely want to finish college before I think about having children.�
Shiori had a hard time hiding her laugh as she pretended to pout. �Roger Darling, what are we going to do? All four of our ungrateful children just refuse to give us grandchildren.�
Pulling Shiori into his arms Roger grinned. �Well Sweetheart, there is one other option. We�re not too old to give them a little brother or sister you know.�
Even Hiei couldn�t keep from laughing at the shocked expression on Shiori�s face. She was so surprised by his words it took her a moment to find her voice. �Never mind, I think I can wait a few years until Kokota and Simone are ready to settle down.�
Anxious to be off the hook with regards to having a child Simone quickly changed the subject. �We haven�t even asked when the wedding�s going to be?�
Shiori gave Kurama a sheepish grin. �Shuuichi I hope you don�t mind but we�re stealing your wedding. Since I promised to reimburse Sheala�s parents for their expenses and most of it�s nonrefundable we decided to have our wedding instead of yours.�
After thinking about it a moment Kurama nodded. �That�s an excellent idea Mother but you won�t be paying for the wedding. I�ll be taking care of that.�
Shiori stared at him. �Shuuichi, how could you possibly do that? Sheala was planning a rather lavish wedding. You don�t have that kind of money.�
Kurama gave her a foxy grin. �Actually Mother, yes I do. Over the years I have transferred quite a bit of my wealth from the Makai to the Ningenkai. The reason your car was so inexpensive was because I put a large deposit on it without you knowing. You didn�t have a twenty year mortgage on the house like I told you either. I just paid it off early for you.�
Everyone was quiet as Shiori continued to stare at Kurama. �The insurance didn�t pay all of my hospital bills either did they? I�ve always wondered about that. Oh Shuuichi, to think you have been shouldering all that responsibility all this time. You�re the child, I should have been taking care of you.�
Kurama smiled. �Mother, I was a very good thief in my previous life. What I have spent on you is nothing compared to the wealth I have amassed in Makai. As to your wedding, the sky�s the limit. You may have anything and everything your heart desires.�
With tears in her eyes Shiori fell into Kurama�s arms. �Oh Shuuichi, I couldn�t have asked for a better son.�
Pulling back Kurama looked at her. �Even if I can�t give you grandchildren?�
At that everyone laughed.

Later that night as the demons got ready for bed Kurama noticed Hiei was rather quiet. �Shadow, is everything alright?�
Hiei just shrugged. Moving to stand in front of him Kurama made quick work of their clothes and pulled Hiei into bed beside him. �A shrug�s not going to cut it Hiei. What�s bothering you Koi?�
With a sigh Hiei tucked his head into Kurama�s neck and nestled against him. �Tonight with all of you, is that what a real family is like?�
Kurama smiled and tightened his arms. �Yes Hiei, it is. The best thing about tonight for me was that you were right there beside me as a part of my family. Were you uncomfortable with anything that happened tonight Koi?�
Kurama felt Hiei shrug. �No, not uncomfortable but it felt strange. No one but you has ever cared for my opinion before.�
Warm lips caressed Hiei�s temple. �That�s not true Hiei. Yusuke, Koenma, Yukina and Mukuro all value your opinion, With them it�s because you�ve earned their respect. This just felt different because they had no reason whatsoever to trust you accept that they care about you.�
Hiei grunted. �They shouldn�t trust me. What if I betray them.�
Kurama�s hands were rubbing Hiei�s bare back soothingly. �That�s the nice thing about family. They will trust you unconditionally until you prove yourself otherwise, then forgive you because they love you. Kind of like Yukina loving a brother that she�d never met and accepting him, without question, no matter what. That�s the way a family loves.�
When Hiei just grunted, Kurama knew he was done talking but would continue to think about it. Smiling, Kurama decided to give Hiei something else to think about for a while. Soft warm lips kissed along Hiei�s neck as long fingers caressed his back. When Kurama kissed a particularly sensitive spot behind Hiei�s ear the fire demon rubbed against him.
Kurama�s body immediately reacted by spreading his legs to allow one of Hiei�s to slip between them. Turning his head, Kurama claimed Hiei�s lips. Before long Hiei was laying over Kurama rubbing wildly against him as they kissed. Hiei suddenly pulled his mouth away gasping. �Kurama! I feel� I need� I��
Kurama understood what his lover needed even if Hiei didn�t quite know himself. Rolling Hiei beneath him Kurama recaptured his lips. When Kurama�s hand ran down the plain of his stomach headed for his groin Hiei whimpered into Kurama�s mouth. When that same hand closed around his erection and stroked, Hiei moaned loudly and bucked his hips.
Not wanting to push Hiei too fast, Kurama nibbled away from Hiei�s lips to lick his ear. �Tell me what you want Hiei. If you�re not comfortable with this I�ll stop.�
Strong fingers gripped Kurama�s arms as Hiei gasped. �I don�t even know what �this� is. Tell me what to do Kurama!�
Hiei�s innocent plea had Kurama aching to bury himself in the warm body beneath him. The only thing stopping him from ravishing Hiei was the unconditional trust his lover gave him. �This is the desire I told you about earlier Shadow. If you�ll trust me, I�ll make you feel even better.�
Without giving Hiei a chance to say no Kurama reclaimed his lips. Shifting slightly, Kurama brought their erections together, circled both with his long fingers and began to stroke. Hiei�s body was involuntarily thrusting up trying to create more friction. Hiei�s nails bit into Kurama�s flesh as he tried to pull the redhead closer.
When Hiei�s body began to quiver and his muscles began to tighten Kurama knew Hiei was close to his climax. Tightening his grip on their erections and stroking harder Kurama sent them both hurtling over the edge of passion. Hiei ripped his lips from Kurama�s, threw his head back and cried out his release. Burying his face against Hiei�s neck Kurama too cried out.
As they panted, trying to catch their breath, Kurama wrapped his arms around Hiei. A moment later they both stiffened when there was a knock at the door. �Shuuichi, Hiei, is everything alright in there?�
Before Kurama could answer he heard Kokota come out of his room. Even through the door Kurama could hear the amusement in his brother�s voice. �Mom, they�re fine. Go back to bed.�
He could tell from her voice that Shiori had turned from the door. �Are you sure? I heard cries from their room.�
Kurama could tell that Kokota was trying to be discrete and not laugh. �I�m sure Mom. Believe me, they really don�t want to be disturbed right now.�
Something in his voice must have sunk in because Shiori suddenly gasped. �Oh my! No, I don�t think we should bother them. Goodnight Kokota.�
After his mother�s door closed Kurama heard Kokota laugh and call through his door. �You owe me Shuuichi!�
Both demons relaxed when Kokota�s door finally closed and all was quiet again. Reaching beside the bed Kurama grabbed his shirt and cleaned them both up before nuzzling Hiei�s neck. Softly, Kurama whispered in Hiei�s ear. �How did my Shadow like his first taste of passion?�
Beneath him Hiei shifted around. Kurama wondered what he was doing until he felt a warm, wet tongue gently lick the scratches Hiei had made on his arm. �I never knew anything could ever feel like that Fox. Did you feel it too?�
Kurama smiled. �Yes Koi, I did. It was so beautiful watching you, and you felt so good against me, but that was nothing compared to what it will feel like when I make love to you Hiei.�
As he moved to lick the wounds on Kurama�s other arm Hiei paused and his eyes widened. �You make it sound like I�m going to enjoy it. From what I�ve seen it looks painful.�
Kurama frowned. �Tell me what you�ve seen Shadow.�
Shrugging, Hiei leaned down to lick the other arm before answering. �I�ve seen lots of demons rut Kurama, especially when I was younger. Whores, both male and female, came to visit the thieves in the camp. They all seemed to tolerated being taken alright but they were paid to lie there while whoever wanted to sated their lust on them. Sometimes though they�d take captives. Male or female they�d scream as they were held down and taken. Usually to shut them up another demon would shove his cock down their throat.�
Kurama was once again reminded of Hiei�s horrible childhood. �You�re right Hiei, whore�s tolerate a lot for money. As to the others, they were raped. When sex is forced on a person it does hurt. Neither of those situations applies to us though Koi. I love you, I would never force myself on you. Making love is very different. It�s done for mutual pleasure. It may be uncomfortable at first but I assure you, when we make love I will give you as much pleasure as you give me.�
Hiei just nodded and Kurama knew he wasn�t totally convinced. With a frown Kurama looked down at him. �Hiei, you would have let me make love to you even though you thought I would hurt you. Why would you allow that?�
Hiei shrugged. �I�m accustom to pain. Besides, I�d do anything to make you happy Fox.�
Kissing Hiei�s nose, Kurama smiled. �I�d do anything to make you happy too Shadow.�
Just as Kurama would have settled down with Hiei in his arms a horrible thought crossed his mind. �Hiei, were you raped?�
From his shoulder, Kurama felt Hiei shake his head. �No Fox, by the time I was old enough for them to try I was either too fast to get caught or somehow able to get away.�
With a sigh Kurama pulled the cuddly fire demon closer. �I love you Hiei and I�ll never let anyone hurt you. Goodnight Shadow.�
A sleepy voice from Kurama�s neck replied. �Goodnight Fox.�

Rolling over for the third time Hiei finally tossed his pillow aside in frustration. He�d woken half an hour ago when Kurama had slipped from the bed and now he couldn�t go back to sleep. It didn�t help that his mind kept wandering to last night. Just then Kurama came out of the bathroom and, for the moment, Hiei was grateful he wasn�t able to sleep. The slightly wet and very naked redhead was toweling his hair as he came to sit on the bed. �Good morning Koibito. Did you sleep well?�
Sitting up to get a better view of his sexy fox Hiei found his lips captured beneath Kurama�s. When the kiss finally ended Hiei grunted. �Why do you insist on getting up so early Fox? I was sleeping just fine until you left me.�
Reaching for the hairbrush on the nightstand Kurama smiled. �I think it is so cute that you can�t sleep unless I�m holding you Koi. At least I know that after we�re mated you�ll always come home to me.�
When Hiei took the hairbrush from him Kurama turned his back to the fire demon. It had become their habit for Hiei to brush and dry Kurama�s hair after his shower every morning. �Hn, and I know you�ll be home every morning to get your hair done you vain fox.�
Kurama laughed. �I�ll bet you always thought I wanted to look nice for those stupid girls at school when I was younger. Little did you know that it was a stubborn fire demon I was trying to attract.�
Behind him Kurama heard Hiei grunt. �Hn. You could have fooled me. I saw you flirting with that ningen female all night. Now you�re going to make me train with her too. If you think I�m going to stand by while you��
Before Hiei could finish Kurama had turned on him and pinned him to the bed. Kurama�s naked form rubbing against his had Hiei breathless and blushing. Hiei could only stare as Kurama leaned down to reclaim his lips briefly. �You are even cuter when you�re jealous Shadow. How could you possibly think I was flirting with Simone? She�s going to be my sister Hiei. The training is just a little indulgence of the hero worship she has on all of us and to see how well she can protect herself. She�s always been at risk as Roger�s daughter, now she�ll be at greater risk as our sister.�
Kurama stole another kiss, this one making Hiei moan. When he pulled back Kurama couldn�t help but smile at how sweet Hiei looked. �Hiei, if my paying attention to Simone bothered you, why didn�t you say something last night?�
Beneath him Hiei shrugged. �I didn�t really think about it until you left me alone this morning. I guess it was kind of foolish.�
With a sigh Kurama rolled over with Hiei still in his arms. Shifting, Hiei straddled Kurama�s hips, resting his forearms on Kurama�s chest as he listened to his lover. �Not foolish Hiei, maybe a little insecure though. This relationship thing is all new to you. You need to learn to trust me. I�m not the demon I was in the past. I want no one but you forever and always Hiei.�
Big ruby eyes looked down into green and Hiei gave Kurama a little grin. �It sounds better every time you say it Fox.�
Kurama pulled Hiei down until their lips met. They kissed and touched for several minutes before Kurama finally pulled back panting. �We�d better stop Hiei. I�m sure Mother is waiting for us downstairs and you still need a shower.�
Reluctantly, they rose from the bed and Kurama began dressing as Hiei went into the bathroom. Kurama could hear the shower running as he headed downstairs. He wasn�t sure what his mother would have to say about last night but he�d rather Hiei wasn�t embarrassed after the first time they were intimate.
Entering the kitchen Kurama was grateful to see his mother alone. When she saw him she started to give him a smile then suddenly blushed and turned away. �Good morning Shuuichi. Did you sleep well?�
Taking her hand Kurama made her turn to face him. �Yes, thank you. Mother, about last night. I�m sorry, we should have been more discreet. I guess we should talk about whether it�s alright if Hiei stays here with me. He always has so I didn�t even think about it being different now. Perhaps it�s time for me to find a place of my own again.�
Shiori looked distressed. �Oh Shuuichi, no. I don�t want you to move out just because I got a little embarrassed. I know this is the closest Hiei has ever had to a home and I want him to continue thinking of it as such. I was just a little surprised last night. Like you said, I didn�t think about it being different now either. If Sheala hadn�t had a family she would have been welcome, this is no different. Male or female your fiancé is a member of this family and belongs here with you.�
Smiling, Kurama gave Shiori a hug. �Thank you Mother. As I said, we�ll try to be more discreet.�
Catching sight of Hiei in the doorway, Kurama released Shiori and went to him. Taking his hand, Kurama smiled at Hiei reassuringly. �Don�t look so worried Shadow. This is our home and we�ll always be welcome here. Soon however, you and I need to discuss our plans for the future. For right now though let�s eat so we can get going. I wonder if Kokota�s up.�
From behind them they heard Kokota. �I finally learned the truth about you, there�s no way I�d miss seeing all of you in action.�
They all ate quickly and before long were ready to leave. When Hiei didn�t join them at the car but headed down the sidewalk Shiori looked around worried. �Shuuichi, we can�t leave without Hiei.�
Kurama smiled. �Hiei doesn�t like cars Mother, and he doesn�t like being close to other people, so he�ll meet us at the temple. It works out better this way since we�re picking Roger and Simone up and the car only holds five people.�
Having heard Shiori�s concern Hiei turned and caught her eye. With a smirk Hiei flitted away leaving her blinking as if not sure of what she�d seen. Seeing his mother�s expression and his missing lover Kurama smiled. �Hiei runs faster than I drive Mother. He�ll probably get to the temple and have time for a nap before we get there.�
Kokota�s head was leaning out the window from the back seat of the car. �Wow, Hiei was there one second and gone the next. I can�t wait to see what else you all can do.�
Shiori�s eyes were wide as she looked at Kurama and said �oh my� before getting in the car. Kurama just smiled knowing they were in for a few more shocks before the day was through.

After picking up Roger and Simone they all drove to the temple. They were almost there when Simone tapped Kurama on the shoulder. �Kurama, I hope you don�t mind me saying this but Hiei�s not exactly what I expected. The radio announcer for the tournament depicted Hiei to be fierce, shrewd and formidable. The demon I met yesterday is sweet and shy.�
Glancing at her in the rearview mirror Kurama smiled. �Actually Simone, Hiei is exactly as the announcer portrayed him. The sweet and shy side of him is usually reserved exclusively for me, Mother and his sister. I think his uncertainty at our new relationship is just bringing out a side of him that he normally wouldn�t allow anyone else to see. Trust me, in just a few minutes you�ll get a first hand look at the fierce and formidable demon you heard about.�
They arrived at the temple a short time later and were greeted by the rest of the group. Introductions were made and within minutes Simone had Yusuke and Kuwabara regaling her and Kokota with stories of their exploits as Reikai Tante.
When Kurama saw Shiori looking around worried he gave her a curious look. �Shuuichi, I thought you said Hiei would be here. I hope nothing happened to him.�
Smiling, Kurama put an arm around her and turned her towards the trees. Leaning closer he pointed at a tall pine across from them. �See that tall tree over there? Look carefully about halfway up on the left.�
Craning her head forward and squinting Shiori tried to see what he was showing her. At first she didn�t see anything out of the ordinary then suddenly she gasped. Waving at her from between the branches was Hiei. �Shuuichi, I couldn�t even see him until he waved and you knew where he was without even looking. How did you do that?�
Looking down at her Kurama smiled. �Even if I couldn�t feel Hiei�s spirit energy the trees and plants tell me everything I want to know. If need be they can tell me where every animal in the forest is or if we should be aware of anyone in the area. For example there is a man and woman hiking about half a mile to the west. If you ask Hiei, Yusuke, Roger and even Kuwabara, they can probably tell you where they are as well.�
Shock crossed Shiori�s face and she immediately went to where Roger was listening to Yusuke and Kuwabara�s stories. �Excuse my interruption but Roger, can you tell if there are people out in the forest?�
Roger raised an eyebrow at the unexpected question. �Sure, there are two people walking just to the west of us. Other than that there�s no one nearby.�
Shiori�s eyes widened and she looked at Yusuke. Yusuke saw Kurama�s grin and knew they were being tested. �It�s a man and a woman and they�re about a half mile from here.�
Not to be left out Kuwabara chimed in. �They shouldn�t bother us though, feels like they�re headed towards the beach.�
As if Shiori weren�t surprised enough she jumped when Hiei suddenly spoke behind her. �Hn, you fools all forgot to mention the dog with them.�
Seeing Shiori�s reaction Simone smiled. �Don�t worry Shiori, you�ll get used to it. Dad�s been trying to teach me to do that for years but my spirit awareness isn�t as strong as his so I can only sense things with really strong energy like these guys.�
Shiori was duly impressed. �That�s amazing. I can�t wait to see more of what you can all do.�
Beside her Hiei grunted. �I hope that means we can fight now.�
Everyone laughed as Hiei turned to walk away. Kurama drew a rose from his hair and handed it to his mother. Then he drew another rose and, with a flick of his wrist, made a show of transforming it into his rose whip. �If you�ll all excuse me, I think Hiei needs a little exercise.�
Shiori was grateful when she felt Roger place a reassuring hand on her shoulder because one second later she gasped in horror as Kurama raised his arm and aimed his whip at Hiei�s retreating back. She needn�t have worried though because when the whip came down, Hiei was gone. Kurama then had to jump back to avoid being sliced by Hiei�s katana. Shiori, Kokota and Simone watched in awe as Kurama and Hiei sparred. Periodically one or all of them would gasp or cry out when they thought either Kurama or Hiei would get hurt.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko, Yukina and even Roger were all having fun watching the demons fight. Their movements were vicious, precise and yet graceful as only a match between two powerful, longtime partners could be.
Half an hour later when Kurama allowed Hiei to win, their training grounds looked more like a jungle/battle field. Exotic vines and plants grew everywhere, though some of the plants and quite a bit of the grass were now burned beyond recognition.
Kurama and Hiei hadn�t escaped unscathed either. Both bore minor cuts and bruises from their fight. Kurama�s however were only noticeable by the blood on his shirt. Hiei�s looked worse because, much to Kurama�s delight, the fire demon had lost his shirt within the first two minutes.
Seeing Shiori�s look of horror at their wounds Yukina quickly tried to reassure her. �Don�t worry Shiori, they�ll be good as new in a minute.�
Knowing Shiori was worried about her son Yukina quickly went and healed Kurama�s injuries. When she turned to Hiei however he held up his hand. �Save your energy Yukina, I�m not done yet. Kurama, get your pets under control so I can have a go at the Detective.�
Sending out a wave of his spirit energy the remaining plants receded to seed. As he went to retrieve them Kurama pouted at Hiei. �Did you have to burn so many of my babies Hiei? They only wanted to play.�
When he was done, new grass had grown covering all evidence of the previous battle. Hiei rolled his eyes and grunted. �Play my ass Fox! That purple one wanted to have me for lunch.�
Kurama won their little battle of words as he purred. �Can you blame it Hiei? You just taste so good.�
With a grunted �Stupid Fox� Hiei quickly turned away before anyone could see him blush. Yusuke of course didn�t miss a thing. �Damn Kurama, I�m going to have to kick Hiei�s ass quickly, because I want details on how you made one of Makai�s most feared demons blush so cutely.�
Laughing, Kurama joined his mother as Hiei and Yusuke began to fight. As soon as she was sure he wasn�t hurt Shiori had lots of questions. She wasn�t the only one. Kuwabara was answering a barrage of questions from Simone, and Roger was having trouble keeping up with Kokota�s.
Hiei and Yusuke�s fight went on for about half an hour before Yusuke called a halt giving Hiei the victory. Hiei would have taken Kuwabara on next but Shiori�s plea stopped him. �Hiei, please don�t fight any more. I can�t stand to see you hurt. Please come over and allow Yukina to heal you.�
Only Kurama and Yukina were close enough to hear him whisper to Shiori as he reluctantly did her bidding. �Yes Mother.�
When Kurama saw moisture glistening in Yukina�s eyes he smiled and winked at her. Yukina quickly collected herself so Hiei wouldn�t see how touched she was that her brother finally had a mother. Under Shiori�s watchful eye, Yukina set to work healing Hiei�s wounds. When Shiori was happy that he was properly healed and smiled at him, Hiei ducked his head to hide his embarrassment.
While this was going on Kuwabara had challenged Yusuke. Their fight lasted all of ten minutes before Kuwabara was flat on his back begging to be released and Yusuke claimed victory. Excited, Simone cheered. �That was so exciting. It�s easy to see how you won the dark tournament. I have a question though. Why did Kurama and Yusuke concede victory to Hiei? It looked like both of you could hold your own against him.�
Yusuke laughed. �That�s easy, Hiei hates to lose. Since Kurama, Hiei and I are all S-class demons we�d be pretty evenly matched in a real fight. Unless we�re training, the fight could go on forever, so we try not to risk one of us getting seriously hurt by Kurama or I eventually giving in. We both know Hiei will never admit defeat.�
Simone laughed. �I guess that makes sense. Now, Dad made me wear sparring clothes because he says you�ll want to fight me. I don�t understand why.�
Hearing Simone�s words, Shiori�s eyes widened in alarm. Roger�s hand on her shoulder kept her quiet as Kurama answered. �Knowing the danger you�d be in just being his daughter, I�m sure Roger trained you to take care of yourself. Knowing us only increases that danger. I�d like to see what you know and if there�s more we can do to train you.�
Grinning, Simone slipped out of her jacket. �This�ll be fun. Who do I get to spar first? Hiei, how about you?�
Before Hiei could do more than grunt Kurama answered. �You�ll be fighting only Yusuke and myself. Kuwabara is too honorable and does not believe in hitting girls so you would win before you started. Hiei on the other hand doesn�t believe in holding back, even for a female. You wouldn�t last a minute.�
The next hour was spent with Kurama and Yusuke taking turns challenging Simone. For a human with powerful but untrained spirit awareness they found her to be fairly skilled at self defense. Yusuke smiled when Simone collapsed exhausted in the grass. �Not bad kid. You kept up with us pretty good. Kurama, if she trains with us when she can to keep up her skill she�ll be okay.�
Kurama nodded. �I agree Yusuke. Roger, you did well with her training. Perhaps you�d like to join us some time.�
Seeing Shiori�s eyes widen Roger smiled. �Perhaps, but not today. I think your mother�s had enough excitement for one day.�
Much to Hiei, Kokota and Simone�s disappointment it appeared they were done and would be going home soon. Simone however was the only one who spoke up. �Wait, we can�t leave yet. I haven�t seen the one thing I wanted to see more than anything. Kurama, will you change to your Youko form for us?�
Even Shiori�s eyes sparkled at the prospect of seeing the Youko she had been hearing about. Kurama however looked around as if waiting for someone to object. When no one did cold green eyes met Simone�s. �I�d rather not Simone. Yoko Kurama is in my past and I�d prefer to keep him there.�
Without looking at any of them Kurama turned away. As he took out the change of shirt he�d brought Kurama didn�t see the startled look on everyone�s face. Even Hiei seemed surprised as, without further comment, Kurama handed him a clean shirt. Something in Kurama�s eyes told Hiei that the subject was closed.
Yukina finally broke the awkward silence. �Kurama, do you really have to leave now? I was hoping everyone would stay for lunch.�
After taking a deep breath Kurama smiled down at the little Koorime. �If it�s alright with everyone else then I think lunch sounds wonderful Yukina. Thank you.�
Finding no objections, Yukina and Keiko went inside to see about lunch. Hiei gave Kurama an odd look then flitted off to the trees. Looking around Kurama saw Kuwabara take Shiori, Roger, Kokota and Simone on a tour of the temple. That left Yusuke, and from the look on the former detective�s face he wanted answers. �Alright Kurama, what the hell was that? You�ve told them and showed them just about everything then denied them the thing they want to see most. Don�t tell me you didn�t see the anticipation in Shiori�s eyes. I can�t believe you denied your mother.�

Kurama glared. �Let it go Yusuke.�
With a sigh Yusuke threw up his hands in defeat. �Alright Kurama, if that�s what you want, but don�t be surprised if Hiei�s the next one to come at you for answers. Speaking of Hiei, what�s going on with you two? Why don�t you start by telling me how you know Hiei tastes so good.�
A sly smile slowly spread across Kurama�s face. �Hiei and I are engaged to be mated.�
Yusuke�s eyes grew wide in surprise then he smiled and slapped Kurama on the back. �That�s awesome Kurama, congratulations. What about Sheala?�
Kurama grinned. �It seems Roger saw what was happening between me and Hiei and told my mother. She called off my wedding and told me to be happy with the man I loved. Now she and Roger are getting married instead.�
Yusuke laughed. �That�s priceless. How�s Hiei handling the new relationship?�
With a shrug, Kurama�s smile faded a little. �Both the emotions he�s experiencing and the physical attraction are all new to him Yusuke, so I�m proceeding very slowly. He�s never been in love or even been loved before so I�m having to teach him and reassure him constantly. As to desire and sex, Hiei�s education was watching demon�s rut with whores or rape prisoners. Over all though I think it�s going fairly well.�
Even though Yusuke had suspected that Hiei�s upbringing had been rough, hearing Kurama�s words made him appreciate that even Atsuko had given him love as a child. �Wow. Sounds like you�ve got your work cut out for you but I�m happy you two have each other now. Sheala was pretty and all but she never would have made you happy the way I know Hiei will.�
Glancing out to the forest, Kurama�s plants told him that Hiei was resting comfortably in the tree he�d vacated earlier. �It will take a while to fully win him over but I don�t care how long it takes. I�ll wait forever if I have to because I love him and want to make him happy.�

Knowing that Hiei wouldn�t be comfortable with a big announcement about their relationship Kurama allowed Yusuke to quietly tell Keiko and left it to Yukina to inform Kuwabara. By the time Hiei came down from the trees to join them for lunch their engagement, as Shiori liked to call it, was known and accepted.
After lunch Kurama asked Roger to take the others home in the car because he and Hiei wanted to stay with their friends a while. When Shiori worried about how they would get home Hiei calmly said they�d get home the same way he�d gotten there, they�d run.
Once Kurama�s family had left Hiei noticed his fox relax and realized he should have been more aware of the stress the day had put on him. Wishing they were alone, Hiei offered the only comfort he could at the moment by subtly reaching out to rub Kurama�s back. He was rewarded with a gentle smile from the fox.
Seeing the tender exchange Yusuke smiled. Not one to tip toe around touchy subjects, even where Hiei was concerned, Yusuke finally brought up the subject of their relationship. �Damn Hiei, I can�t tell you how glad I am that it�s you Kurama�s going to marry and not Sheala. There�s no way she would have fit in with all of us, and we were all sure we�d lose Kurama if they got married.�
Though Hiei�s eyes widened at Yusuke�s words it was Kuwabara�s comment that surprised him more. �Yeah Shrimp, even I have to admit that you�re a much better match for Kurama than that prissy woman. Yusuke�s right about us being worried about losing Kurama too. This way we don�t have to lose either of you.�
Seeing that Hiei wasn�t sure how to react to their teammates� easy acceptance of their relationship Kurama slipped a reassuring arm around his lover. �Thanks everyone, your support means a lot to both of us.�
Before Hiei was forced to agree Yukina came and gave him a big hug. �Brother, I�m so happy for both of you. Now I won�t worry that you�ll be alone anymore, because I know Kurama will always be there for you.�
Keiko�s brow wrinkled in a frown. �Since it�s not legal for you two to get married, will you have some other kind of ceremony? I for one can�t wait to see you both married.�
Kurama smiled. �Actually Keiko, a demon mating takes place in private because it usually happens while making love. As to a ceremony, Hiei and I haven�t discussed that yet. Since my mother will want a wedding though I was hoping Hiei would let me ask Koenma to perform a bonding ceremony.�
Big green eyes looked at Hiei expectantly. With a sigh Hiei knew he couldn�t say no to those eyes. �Do what you want Fox.�
Hiei suddenly found himself wrapped in Kurama�s arms and warm lips settled briefly over his. �Thank you Hiei. You�ve made me so happy. I intend to see us mated, bonded and anything else I can think of because I want us to be together forever and always Hiei.�
As if he�d forgotten that anyone else was there Hiei�s arms went around Kurama�s neck, pulling him down for a kiss. Vaguely Hiei was aware of their friends cheering but didn�t really care when Kurama�s arms tightened and the kiss deepened. As far as Hiei was concerned, when Kurama kissed him like that no one else existed accept the two of them.

Both Kurama and Hiei were grateful when the party broke up a short time later. Keiko�s parents had plans for the evening and could only baby sit until six. After everyone said goodbye, Kurama took Hiei�s hand and headed into the forest.
Kuwabara looked at Yukina curiously when he noticed his wife giggle as she turned to go inside. �What do you find so amusing my sweet Yukina?�
Looking at him Yukina smiled. �I was just wondering if I should call Shiori and tell her Kurama and Hiei might be late.�
Kuwabara frowned. �It�s early yet, why would they be late?�
Yukina giggled again. �Because they just headed north, into the forest. Shiori�s house is south of here.�
As she spoke Yukina�s left hand pointed right for north, and her right hand pointed left for south. Looking at her crossed arms Kuwabara looked momentarily confused. When realization dawned Kuwabara�s eyes widened. �Oh no! Those demons aren�t going into our forest to do what I think they are. Are they? EW!!! I didn�t need to know that!�
Yukina giggled harder as she followed her husband inside.

Even though he knew they were headed in the opposite direction of Kurama�s house, Hiei followed his fox without question. They hadn�t gone far when Kurama released his hand and took off running. Playfully they chased each other through the trees until they reached what was obviously Kurama�s original destination.
Set against the mountains north of the temple was a series of caves. Hiei simply followed as Kurama slowed near one of the caves before parting the foliage that covered it�s near hidden entrance. With a smile, Kurama held a hand out to Hiei. Curious, Hiei took Kurama�s hand and followed him into the cave.
They followed a small passage for a short time before Hiei felt it open into a larger cavern. Hiei waited in the dark as Kurama flared his energy and several lamp weed lit the cave. Hiei�s eyes widened and he had to stop his mouth from falling open at the sight before him. Before him was one of the Youko�s dens. Not like the one near Mukuro�s that held only a bed, a chest and a few unimportant treasures. This was without a doubt the den of a thief.
Before him lay more treasures than he had seen in the Reikai vault they had robbed years before. Gold, silver and countless jewels sparkled in the lamp weed light. Big red eyes turned to look at Kurama. �Fox?�
With a smirk, Kurama led Hiei through a path that led to a large futon sitting amongst the treasure. Pulling Hiei with him onto the futon, Kurama settled back against the pillows with the fire demon in his arms. �Remember when I told my mother that I had transferred some of my wealth from Makai? Not all of it went in the bank. I delight in my treasures too much not to have some of them here where I can enjoy them.�
Content to finally be in Kurama�s arms Hiei rested his head against the redhead�s chest. �Fox, I�ve seen three of your dens in Makai, none of them looked like this.�
Kurama smiled. �No Koi, they didn�t. Those were a few of my smaller dens, someplace where I could rest for the night and not worry about giving my secrets away to whoever was with me. There are only two people I have ever trusted enough to know the location of my treasure coves. Kuronue was the first, and now you my sweet Shadow will be the last.�
Hiei�s eyes widened at Kurama�s words. He�d known of the Youko�s old partner for some time, Hiei had even suspected they�d been lovers, but they�d never talked about him. �Fox, I know you had a lot of lovers in the past but what made Kuronue so different that you showed him your treasures?�
Looking at Hiei sadly, Kurama gently kissed his forehead before answering. �I loved him and trusted him like no other� until I met you.�
Wanting to take away the sadness he heard in Kurama�s voice Hiei moved up until their lips met. When Kurama moaned into the kiss Hiei knew his distraction had worked. Swinging a leg over Kurama�s hip, Hiei straddled his lap. Hiei smirked into the kiss when Kurama�s arms tightened and he thrust up, rubbing himself between Hiei�s legs.
When Kurama grabbed his behind, pulling them more intimately against each other Hiei gasped. Taking advantage of Hiei�s surprise Kurama deepened the kiss. This time it was Hiei that moaned and rubbed himself against the writhing body between his legs.
Encouraged by Hiei�s response Kurama rolled the fire demon beneath him. Distracting Hiei with kisses, Kurama slowly began removing their clothes. Hiei buried his fingers in Kurama�s hair and held him close as warm lips began tormenting one of his nipples. His hips arched off the bed when Kurama�s hand found it�s way into his pants to stroke him. With a grin Kurama looked up at him. �You like it when I touch you there, don�t you Shadow?�
Hiei�s breath was coming in pants as he tried to answer. �Gods yes Fox!�
Moving back to Hiei�s neck Kurama purred into his ear. �I could make it feel even better if you�ll let me Koibito.�
Hearing Kurama call him his lover, Hiei stilled but didn�t respond. Knowing Hiei was still nervous about them having sex Kurama tried to reassure him. �Relax Koi, I know you�re not ready to make love yet. It�s alright, I can wait. I was just hoping you�d let me pleasure you with more than my hand tonight.�
When Hiei only shivered at the sexy words Kurama ran his palm over Hiei�s moist tip causing the fire demon�s body to jerk. Suckling on the ear before him Kurama ran his slickened hand down Hiei�s length eliciting another moan. �Close your eyes Shadow. Now imagine that�s my warm, wet mouth your beautiful cock is sliding in and out of.�
Hiei�s fingers tightened in Kurama�s hair as he threw he head back. �Ahh, Kurama! Why� why would you want to do something like that?�
Kurama�s hand never stopped fondling Hiei as his kisses began moving lower. �To bring you pleasure my sweet Shadow. Unlike what you�ve seen in the past Hiei, a blow job can be enjoyed by both the giver as well as the receiver. I can�t wait to see how beautiful you�ll look while I go down on you. I also can�t wait to taste even more of you Koi.�
Hiei was making no move to stop Kurama�s descent as his nipple was once again licked. Somehow Kurama managed to get the rest of their clothes off as he settled between Hiei�s legs. When Kurama�s hand stilled and nothing else happened Hiei opened his eyes and looked down. Just as his eyes met Kurama�s a warm tongue snaked out to lick his tip. When his body jerked at the sudden stimulation Kurama smirked. �Just wait Hiei, it gets even better.�
With that, Kurama�s mouth descended on him and Hiei shoved a fist in his mouth to smother his cries. Without releasing the erection in his mouth Kurama reached up to pull Hiei�s hand down until their fingers were laced together. Looking down into the green eyes that watched him Hiei knew that Kurama wanted to hear his pleasure. Wanting to please his fox, Hiei moaned. �Gods Kurama, that feels so good.�
Happy that Hiei was enjoying his first blow job Kurama swirled his tongue along Hiei�s tip before sucking hard as he bobbed his head. �K�rama, YES! MORE! Please more!�
Knowing Hiei was near his end Kurama awkwardly reached down with his free hand to fist his own erection. With Hiei�s hand still buried in his hair Kurama felt the fire demon force his erection deep into his throat. A few more bobs of his head and strokes of his hand and both demons found their release. Hiei�s cry of pleasure filled the cavern before he slumped back on the bed.
Kurama was trying to catch his breath as he crawled back up beside Hiei. Knowing Hiei might not be comfortable tasting himself in Kurama�s mouth the redhead kissed his cheek as he drew him into his arms. Hiei however had other ideas and claimed Kurama�s lips. When their tongues brushed together Hiei stilled a moment. Kurama didn�t move as Hiei experimentally licked his tongue again. After a moment Kurama was pleased when Hiei settled into the kiss.
When the kiss finally ended Hiei cuddled against Kurama with a sigh. Holding him close Kurama smiled. �Can I interpret that sigh to mean you liked my mouth on you?�
Hiei playfully nipped at Kurama�s neck making the redhead yip. �Hn! Stupid question Fox. That was so good it makes me wonder where you learned to do that?�
Kurama was quiet for so long Hiei wondered if he was going to answer. �I�ve not taken a lover in this life Hiei so everything I know is from my memories of being a Youko. I don�t remember everything about my demon life but judging from your reaction just now I do remember how to pleasure a lover.�
With a blush Hiei nipped Kurama�s neck again before looking up at him. �Don�t gloat Fox. Kurama, why wouldn�t you change forms for your family today? You didn�t have a problem being in that form at the dark tournament or when we fought Sensui. I�m not buying that line about leaving your demon life behind either. I happen to know you�re proud to be a Youko. What�s going on?�
Kurama drew a deep breath before answering. �I have my reasons Hiei. Just let it go.�
Curious at Kurama�s reaction Hiei frowned. �What about me Fox? Will you change forms for me?�
This time there was no hesitation before Kurama�s response. �No.�
When Hiei would have questioned him further, Kurama firmly cut him off. �It�s not open for discussion Hiei. Now please, let it go.�
Surprised by Kurama�s tone, Hiei wasn�t sure how to react. He was saved from making a decision when Kurama sighed. �I�m sorry I snapped Shadow. It�s getting late, let�s just get some sleep.�
When Kurama pulled him close, Hiei settled in his favorite spot, with his head against Kurama�s heart. Though he wasn�t happy Hiei gave Kurama his way. �G�night Fox.�
Kissing Hiei�s temple Kurama reached out his ki to extinguish the lamp weeds. �Good night Shadow. I love you.�
XXXXX
Early the next morning Kurama woke, missing Hiei�s warmth. Hearing the fire demon moving around in the cave, Kurama�s energy reached out to light the darkness. Startled red eyes turned to see the naked redhead sitting up on the bed. Kurama raised an eyebrow in question to his fully dressed lover. �Going some where Koi?�
With an impatient sigh Hiei searched for his boots. �I was on vacation Fox, not permanent leave. I have to get back to work before Mukuro hunts my ass down.�
Blinking in surprise, Kurama felt his chest tighten at Hiei�s words. �Were you even going to say goodbye?�
Trying to hide his guilt, Hiei sat on a chest to put his boots on. �Since you�re awake, I�ll say goodbye now.�
Feeling as if Hiei had just hit him, Kurama tried to sound calm. �Will you be back in time for Mother�s wedding? She�ll want you there you know?�
Hiei shrugged, wishing Kurama had said that he wanted him too. �I�ll try Fox, that�s the best I can do.�
Not sure what had gone wrong, Kurama got up and put on his pants. �Hiei, if this is about last night I didn�t mean to push you. I promise, I�ll be more patient about us being lovers. I��
Holding up a hand Hiei stopped him. �It�s not about that Kurama. You�re being very patient with me, introducing me to everything slowly. So far I like everything you do to me.�
Shaking his head, Kurama tried to understand Hiei�s sudden departure. �Then what�? It�s about the Youko isn�t it?�
Hiei�s expression was impassive as he looked at Kurama. �I think there are a few things we both need to think about before we go any further in this relationship. Kurama, you�re denying me a very important part of yourself and refusing to talk to me about it. You want to deny your demon heritage and live your life as a human� I don�t. If you won�t allow Yoko to be a part of our lives then what happens to me when Shuuichi dies? I�m not sure I want to love you if it means I�m going to lose you in a few years.�
Stunned by Hiei�s words, Kurama�s legs would not longer support him and he sat hard on the bed. His chest hurt so bad now that Kurama could barely choke out one word. �Hiei?�
Turning away, Hiei knew if he looked into Kurama�s eyes he�d be unable to leave. �I have to go Fox. Tell Shiori I�ll try to be back for the wedding.�
Without a kiss or even a goodbye, Hiei left. Trembling in shock, Kurama fell back onto the bed before curling up on his side and hugging his knees to his chest. The only sound in the cave was one soft cry. �Hiei.�
