ENEMY AMONG US
CHAPTER 3
Entering the ramen shop, Kurama smiled and waved at Keiko before heading for their table. Unless the restaurant was really busy, Yusuke and Keiko usually saved the large round table in the corner for the employees and their friends. Kurama wasn’t surprised to see Yusuke sitting in the table, he was however taken aback when he saw Hiei sitting across from him. In front of the fire demon was an almost empty plate of vegetables and rice.
After only the briefest hesitation, Kurama slowly took a seat next to Yusuke. “Hey Kurama. How have you been? We haven’t seen you all week.”
Kurama was briefly kept from replying when Keiko kissed his cheek in greeting as she set a large glass of iced tea in front of him. “Can I get you anything to eat Kurama?”
Smiling at her, Kurama shook his head. “No thank you Keiko. I’m just taking a quick break from work. Thank you for the tea.”
When Keiko returned to work, Kurama turned back to Yusuke. “I’ve been good Yusuke. Work has kept me pretty busy this week. My stepfather is out of town so I’ve had some extra responsibilities.”
Stirring a spoon of sugar into his tea, Kurama tried to keep his voice calm as he addressed his former lover. “What are you still doing here Hiei. You usually have more important things to do to waste more than a day here in the Ningenkai.”
Somehow, Hiei managed not to flinch at the dig. “I can do anything I want when it’s important enough.”
Kurama was forced to look away to keep Hiei from seeing the hurt in his eyes. A new arrival at the table distracted them and made them all look up. Kurama tried to smile as Sakura took the chair beside him. With Hiei watching, he was a little uncomfortable when Sakura’s arm circled his shoulders and pulled him close for a kiss. “Hey Babe. I was hoping I’d run into you here. I was just passing by on my way to see the counselor about those classes we talked about.”
Feeling a bit awkward with Kurama’s old and new boyfriend, Yusuke pushed his chair back. “I’d better get back to work soon or my wife is going to come after me. Sakura did you want anything?”
Smiling, Sakura leaned closer and took the tea glass that rested on the table between Kurama’s fingers. “No thanks, Yusuke. I’ll just share Kurama’s tea. You don’t mind, do you Babe?”
Not waiting for Kurama’s answer, Sakura raised the glass to his lips. With Kurama looking up to see Yusuke rise from the table, neither of them saw the smug look Sakura gave Hiei. Nor did they see the daggers Hiei glared at Sakura. At that moment Kurama rose as well. “I have to get back to work myself. Sakura, will you walk out with me?”
Goodbyes were said and Kurama left with Sakura. On the sidewalk the two made plans to get together later that night, then Sakura pulled Kurama into his arms for a deep kiss. When they pulled apart they said a brief goodbye before Sakura headed off with a wave. When Kurama would have turned and walked away, he stopped when he saw Hiei watching from the entrance of the ramen shop.
Hearts pounded as they stared at each other. After a moment, Kurama sighed and turned away. He hadn’t gone three steps before he heard Hiei cry out his name. “Kurama!”
Before he could turn, Kurama felt Hiei’s hand roughly brush the hair against the side of his neck. “Hiei, what are you doing?”
Kurama frowned when Hiei winced, then threw something onto the ground. Kurama got a brief glimpse of a bug before Hiei stomped on it. With a gasp, Kurama quickly reached for Hiei’s hand. “Hiei! That’s a Makai swamp wasp! Did it sting you?”
Though Hiei tried to pull his hand away Kurama held on tight as he examined it. Already the palm of Hiei’s hand was turning purple. “Damn it Hiei, why did you do that? Swamp wasp stings are highly poisonous. We need to treat the poison fast!”
Though Hiei still tried to pry his hand from Kurama’s grasp he could already feel the poison numbing his arm. At this rate he’d collapse within minutes. “It’s not like I could just let it sting you Fo… Kurama.”
Dragging Hiei by the hand, Kurama pushed open the door of the ramen shop and yelled. “Yusuke! Hiei’s hurt!”
Yusuke and Keiko both came running at the sound of the usually calm Kurama shouting for help. “What the hell happened?”
Feeling Hiei’s arm go limp, Kurama put his arm around the fire demon to support him. “Hiei was stung by a Makai swamp wasp! We have to get him to the temple quick if Yukina and I are to treat him in time!”
Grasping the severity of the situation, Yusuke pushed Keiko towards the door. “Call the temple! Tell them what’s happened and that we’re on the way with Hiei!”
By the time Yusuke turned back Hiei was leaning heavily against Kurama. Not wasting time, Yusuke grabbed Hiei and settled him over his shoulder. Without a word Yusuke and Kurama raced toward the temple. Even with their demon speed, it still took them almost half an hour to get there.
When they arrived, Kuwabara was waiting on the porch, but when he saw them he rushed forward to take the now unconscious Hiei from Yusuke. As they carried Hiei inside, Kurama ran to the garden and began gathering herbs. He didn’t waste time checking on Hiei as he hurried to the kitchen and put a pot on the stove. With trembling hands, half a dozen seeds were pulled from his hair and quickly grown to add to the plants Kurama had pulled from the garden.
When Yusuke came in, Kurama didn’t bother to look up but continued with his work. Neither of them spoke as the minutes ticked passed. To Kurama it felt like forever before he looked up at Yusuke. “I need Yukina.”
A moment later Yukina rushed into the kitchen and saw Kurama straining the boiling contents of the pot into a bowl. The worried look on her face told Kurama that Hiei wasn’t doing well. “Yukina, I have the anti-venom ready but it’s too hot to inject into Hiei. Can you cool it down a bit for me?”
Leaning over the bowl that held a thin green liquid, the Koorime gently blew on it, carefully cooling the contents. When Kurama held up his hand Yukina stopped. “Thank you Yukina. Go back to Hiei, I’ll be right there.”
Reaching into his hair, Kurama withdrew yet another seed. When grown, this plant had large rubbery looking leaves with spiked tips. Plucking one of the leaves, Kurama carefully placed the cut end into the green liquid. Yusuke returned just in time to watch the leaf slowly absorb the liquid from the bowl. When the leaf appeared to be full, Kurama barely spared Yusuke a glance as he moved past him and headed for the bedroom.
Seeing Kurama, Yukina rose from where she sat on the side of Hiei’s bed. “I’m not sure how much help I was Kurama. I tried to keep the poison from his heart and brain.”
Taking Yukina’s seat on the bed, Kurama reached for Hiei’s arm. “Thank you Yukina. I’m sure it was a great help.”
Everyone watched in amazement as Kurama took the swollen leaf and rested it on Hiei’s arm. At first Yusuke and Kuwabara weren’t sure what he was doing, but then they saw him take the spiked end of the leaf and pierce Hiei’s arm. It looked much like Kurama was giving Hiei a shot directly into a vein on his arm. Holding the makeshift needle in place, Kurama slowly squeezed the leaf, injecting the anti-venom into Hiei.
When the leaf was empty and Kurama removed it from Hiei’s arm, green eyes glanced up at Yukina. Understanding his silent request, Yukina placed her hand over Hiei’s chest. A moment later, she nodded and gave a little smile. “It’s working. I can feel the poison losing it’s hold.”
Closing his eyes, Kurama tried to control his emotions as relief flooded him. It took several deep breaths before he could open his eyes without fear of shedding a tear. When he did, he felt Yusuke’s hand on his shoulder. “You did it Kurama. He’s going to be alright.”
Kurama gave Yukina a worried glance before looking at Yusuke and Kuwabara. “We stopped the poison Yusuke. It still remains to be seen how much damage it caused. Left untreated, swamp wasp stings can be deadly. Even treated though they can still leave the victim paralyzed or in a coma.”
A gasp from the door alerted them all that Keiko had arrived. Taking the spent leaf from Kurama, Yusuke ushered his wife from the room. With Yukina tucked against his chest, Kuwabara tried to be reassuring. “Kurama we have to believe that Yukina controlling the poison’s spread will mean that Hiei will have a full recovery.”
Kurama just nodded. Wanting to give Kurama time alone with Hiei, Yukina didn’t protest when Kuwabara led her from the room. Long fingers brushed gently through spiky, black bangs as Kurama watched Hiei sleep. “Damn it Fire-Fly you shouldn’t have touched that stupid bug. You know they’re poisonous. What were you thinking?”
Frustrated, Kurama rose and walked to the window. He stood there several minutes just looking out into the trees. He jumped when his cell phone suddenly rang. Quietly, he gave some explanation to his secretary as to why he hadn’t returned to the office. When the call ended, Kurama moved back to the bed to check on Hiei. Satisfied that there was nothing to do now but wait, Kurama went to join his friends.
Hours passed and Hiei’s condition didn’t change. When the sun began to set Yukina and Keiko fixed dinner but Kurama wouldn’t eat. It was almost nine as he once again stood at the window in Hiei’s room, jumping again when his cell phone rang. “Minamino.”
Hearing Sakura on the other end, Kurama sighed, realizing he’d forgotten their date. “Sakura, I’m sorry. Something’s come up and I won’t be able to make it tonight.”
“Kurama, are you alright? You sound upset about something.”
Glancing at Hiei, Kurama wondered what to say. “Sakura, I don’t want to upset you, but I’m with Hiei. He was stung by a Makai swamp wasp today. I’m going to stay here until he wakes up.”
There was a pause before Sakura answered. “Are you okay? It didn’t sting you or anything did it? Maybe I should come over.”
Kurama’s eyes rested on Hiei. “No Sakura, I’m fine, it didn’t sting me. You don’t need to come either. I’m just staying in case Yukina needs me for something. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
When the call ended, Kurama went back to sit on the bed. After check that Hiei was warm and comfortable, Kurama rested his hand on Hiei’s chest. “How did we come to this Hiei? If you had only loved me and wanted to be with me the way I did you…”
Shaking his head, Kurama pushed those thoughts aside. Watching Hiei sleep, Kurama whispered. “Just get better Hiei.”

Burrowing into the warmth that surrounded him, Kurama tried to block the sun that beaconed him to open his eyes. Firm fingers caressed through his hair and Kurama sighed. “Hiei.”
Smirking at the sleepy redhead against his chest, Hiei continued to brush his fingers through Kurama’s long hair. Hiei felt the moment Kurama’s mind registered what was happening and allowed him to sit up. Embarrassed to be caught sleeping in his ex-lover’s arms, Kurama looked around nervously.
A moment later Kurama suddenly realized that Hiei was awake and moving. Looking at him, Kurama gave Hiei a sad smile. “I’m glad that you’re going to be alright Hiei. I guess I’ll be leaving now.”
When Kurama rose from the bed, Hiei reached out to try and stop him. “Kurama…”
Though he did manage to grab Kurama’s wrist, Hiei didn’t have the strength to hold him when he pulled away. Before Kurama could leave however Hiei blurted out. “I think Sakura planted that bug on you!”
Shocked, Kurama looked at Hiei coldly. “You had better have something to back up that accusation Hiei.”
Hiei returned Kurama’s gold stare. “How else would it have gotten there Kurama? Your demon boyfriend hugs and kisses you then suddenly you have a poisonous Makai swamp wasp on your shoulder. What else am I supposed to think?”
Sighing sadly, Kurama turned away. “You know me better than anyone Hiei. You’re supposed to trust that I would know if Sakura meant me any harm. I won’t stand here and listen to your jealous ranting any longer.”
Shaking his head, Hiei didn’t say a word as Kurama walked out. A moment later, Yukina rushed in elated to see that Hiei was recovering nicely. Hiei’s thoughts however followed his fox.

After missing an afternoon of work, Kurama was so bogged down it was two days before he left work early enough to stop and see Sakura. Knocking on the apartment door, Kurama heard Sakura call out for him to wait. Knowing Sakura wasn’t the neatest of people, Kurama grinned when he heard rustling and banging from within the apartment. He was surprised when several minutes passed before Sakura finally opened the door. “Hey Babe. Sorry, I wasn’t expecting company.”
After being pulled unceremoniously into Sakura’s living room, Kurama found himself wrapped in strong arms and thoroughly kissed. When Sakura finally allowed him to breath, Kurama grinned. “I guess that means you missed me. I would have come sooner but I’ve been swamped at work. How about I make it up to you and take you out tonight?”
Sakura grinned. “Since it is Friday, we could invite the others and make a night of it.”
Kurama wasn’t sure if ‘the others’ might still include Hiei but he didn’t want to disappoint Sakura. “If that’s what you’d like, that sounds fun. There’s a new club that just opened, we haven’t been there yet.”
With a big smile, Sakura picked up the phone and called Yusuke and Kuwabara. Within minutes plans were made to meet at the club at eight. Kurama waited while Sakura changed. Frowning, Kurama looked around when he noticed a strange, almost chemical like odor. Going to the kitchen, Kurama looked around but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
When Sakura came out of the bedroom, Kurama grinned in appreciation. Black slacks and a loose black suit jacket were nicely accented by a deep red shirt with a V-neck that showed off the silver medallion on his chest. “Very nice.”
Crystal blue eyes sparkled back at him. “I thought you’d might like it. Let’s go get you changed. I’m not going anywhere with you in that stuffy old business suit.”
An hour later Kurama had just finished a quick shower and stepped into black linen pants when Sakura suddenly came through his bedroom door. Startled by the unexpected intrusion, Kurama watched as Sakura looked around his room. Though they had been dating for over a month, Kurama hadn’t been in any hurry to become lovers. Though he had suggested it on occasion, luckily Sakura hadn’t pushed the subject.
Going to his closet to choose a shirt, Kurama decided there wasn’t anything wrong with his boyfriend being there while he finished dressing. “I’m almost ready. I’ll just be a minute.”
Taking the white silk shirt from Kurama’s hands, Sakura tossed it on the bed. “There’s no rush. In fact, I think we should take a little time to make tonight extra special.”
Kurama’s eyes narrowed at the deep, suggestive tone of Sakura’s voice. The redhead wasn’t surprised when a moment later he was pulled into a passionate kiss. Not happy about being manhandled, Kurama quickly broke the kiss. “Sakura, I think you should wait in the other room. I’ll be out shortly.”
When his firm request was met with a laugh, Kurama stepped back. “I don’t think so my pretty little fox. You’ve been stringing me along for over a month and I think it’s time I got a little something for my time.”
Picking up his shirt, Kurama regarded him coldly. “I’m not sure what you think you’re entitled to Sakura, but I think you should leave.”
Knowing Sakura wasn’t a very powerful demon, Kurama wasn’t intimidated when the man laughed at him. “No Kurama, I won’t be leaving. In fact, I think you’ll let me stay and do whatever I want, just as soon as you call your mother.”
Green eyes flashed gold as Kurama growled at him. “What the hell does my mother have to do with this?”
Sakura sat on the edge of the bed and casually crossed his legs. Picking up the phone from the nightstand, he held it out to Kurama. “I think you’ll find that your mother isn’t feeling very well. Actually, she’ll probably tell you that she has this terrible headache that just won’t go away.”
With a glare, Kurama snatched the phone from his outstretched hand and quickly dialed Shiori’s number. “Mother? I’m sorry I haven’t called, but with father gone I’ve been busy at work. Is everything alright?”
“Actually Shuuichi, I haven’t been feeling good today and I have this awful headache that just won’t seem to go away.”
As he listened to his mother repeat Sakura’s words almost verbatim, Kurama saw him reach into his pocket for something. Kurama’s heart pounded as he saw Sakura hold up a small vile of clear liquid. “Mother, I want you to take some headache medicine and go lie down. I have something to take care of, but I’ll be by to check on you later.”
After hanging up the phone, Kurama growled at Sakura. “What the hell did you do to my mother?”
Watching the liquid swirl inside the vile, Sakura grinned wickedly. “Oh, didn’t she tell you? I went by to see her yesterday. Lovely woman your mother. She was even so accommodating as to invite me for tea. Imagine my surprise when she told me that she had had another visitor just the day before. It was just so pathetic watching the stupid woman drink the tea that I had poisoned as she told me about that half breed fire demon warning her that I might be dangerous.”
Clenching his fists, it was hard for Kurama to remain calm. “What’s in the vile you bastard?”
Absently, Sakura tossed the vile in the air before catching it. “Oh this? Just a modified form of the antidote for the poison I gave her. It will alleviate her symptoms for a day or so. It won’t cure her though, even if you tried to duplicate it and give her a larger dose. You see I left out one key ingredient needed for a full cure.”
Weighing his options, Kurama inquired. “What do you want from me?”
Curling his fingers around the vile, Sakura rose from the bed and walked to Kurama. Grabbing Kurama by the chin, Sakura kissed him. When he tried to deepen the kiss, Sakura tasted his own blood when Kurama bit him. “That’s alright Babe. There are much better uses for that pretty little mouth of yours. Let’s start with you on your knees with my cock down your throat. We can negotiate the rest later.”
When Kurama didn’t move, Sakura shrugged. “It’s your decision Kurama, but you might want to know that without the antidote, the poison will slowly and painfully kill her in about ten days.”
Seeing Kurama’s resolve falter, Sakura grabbed him by the hair and forced him to his knees. Sakura’s other hand then slipped the vile into his pocket before he loosened his belt and unfastened his pants. Kurama shuddered when Sakura’s already hardening member sprung from his pants. Pulling against the hand in his hair Kurama growled. “Give me the vile first!”
With a grin, Sakura pulled out the vile and held it just out of Kurama’s reach. “No biting now. I don’t like my whores to bite.”
As his fingers closed around the vile, Sakura forced his head forward, shoving his erection into Kurama’s mouth. Quickly dropping the vile in his pocket, Kurama struggled with both hands to keep Sakura from pumping himself too far down his throat. Closing his eyes against the vile act he was forced to perform, Kurama allowed his mind two thoughts. First, he prayed that Shiori would be alright. Secondly, he berated himself for not trusting Hiei’s instincts.
Luckily for Kurama, it took only a few short minutes before he felt the length in his mouth begin to pulse. Quickly reaching for Sakura’s hands, Kurama applied pressure at just the right points for the man to lose his grip on the red hair he held. Turning away, Kurama felt Sakura’s release hit his chest through his open shirt.
Panting, Sakura staggered back to sit on the bed as he adjusted his clothes. Kurama whipped off his shirt and used it to clean himself off. Stumbling to his feet, Kurama would have headed for the bathroom but Sakura stopped him. “Where the hell do you think you’re going?”
Pausing, Kurama growled. “To wash your filthy scent off of me!”
Sakura laughed. “No, you’ll be staying just as you are. I want those pathetic teammates of yours, especially that forbidden piece of trash, to pick up my scent and know that you are my little whore now.”
After using his shirt to scrub his chest so hard it was pink, Kurama tossed it in the trash. Turning to Sakura, Kurama gave an evil chuckle. “You won’t live two minutes once my friends learn what you’ve done.”
Rising from the bed, Sakura went to the closet. Selecting a long sleeved knit shirt, he tossed it to Kurama. “No, I don’t suppose that I would. Then again, you’re not going to tell them a thing. You’re going to walk into that club and play the part of my very attentive and very willing lover. If you say one word, or don’t do everything I expect from you, your mother will die. Now get dressed, we’re going to be late.”
Grudgingly, Kurama pulled on the shirt he’d been given. “Why are you doing this Sakura? I didn’t even know you until a few months ago.”
The two had now moved out to the living room. Kurama put on his shoes, waiting for Sakura to explain. “I’m doing this for revenge Kurama. You see, you killed my beloved older brother, and I’m going to see that you suffer greatly for it.”
Having made many enemies in his life Kurama had suspected that revenge was Sakura’s motive. “My name, Kurama, is irrelevant. My brother’s name however is very relevant. He was a great and powerful man, a sadistic yet loving man, and you murdered him! From that day on I took his name and began planning my revenge. I had to… rearrange… his name a bit when I came here so you and your useless friends wouldn’t discover me too soon. Sakura is rather girly, but being named after a cherry blossom while trying to catch a plant manipulator suited my purpose quiet nicely.”
Sakura watched as Kurama’s mind putting it all together. ‘Rearrange his brother’s name… Sakura…”
When Kurama’s eyes widened in recognition, Sakura laughed wickedly.
