Kurama moved into a little more comfortable position on his side. His left arm still pillowed his head and his right hand falling on the grass between them. His eyes remained closed while he listened to the hum of nature around him and the fire demon’s content breathing. He was just starting to drift to sleep when the sound of movement drew his attention. The redhead cracked his eyes open in time to see Hiei laying on his side facing him, a sword calloused hand hovering above his own. The fire demon’s hand opened and closed several times as if he was uncertain of what he should do.
Kurama smiled a little when his friend’s hand finally settled over his. He spread his fingers so Hiei’s fingers fell between his and then they both curled their fingers inwards. As they watched each other for any negative reactions, Kurama understood just how very fragile this possible transition from friendship to relationship really was. Both of them were so unsure of how to proceed and both waiting for the inevitable rejection from the other. It was really sort of sad.
Kurama’s voice was very quiet when he spoke. He was hoping to put them both at ease while giving the fingers entwined with his a gentle squeeze. “I like this.”
Hiei visibly struggled with himself for several moments, not at all comfortable with displays of affection or verbal declarations. He finally managed a simple reply. “Me too.”
Kurama’s nap was forgotten as they laid on the ground in silence. They both rested with half lidded eyes, enjoying each other's company and the sounds of nature while continuing to hold hands.
It was much, much later when Hiei finally broke the silence between them. "It's quiet here, Fox."
"Yes. I come here when I need to think about personal problems or to train. You are the first person I have ever brought here." Kurama admitted, pleased smile of his face.
"Hn." Hiei merely grunted while finally releasing the redhead’s hand to roll onto his back. His arm he had been laying on had started going numb from being in one position for to long.
"Are you happy here in Ningenkai, Hiei?" Kurama asked as he rolled onto his back too. He was having the same problem, but had been reluctant to release the fire demon’s hand.
"No."
"Then why do you stay?"
"I have my reasons."
"You mean Yukina." Kurama supplied while he watched the smaller tree limbs above him sway in a gentle breeze.
"Yes, of course, she is my sister. I still feel as if I should protect her even though she lives with Kuwabara and his sister. It doesn’t matter that the idiot is the strongest human in ningenkai, I still need to be here for her." Hiei turned his head to look at the fox, to see his reaction. It felt like it was the right time to finally let him know this. "She is not the only reason I stay. I stay for you, Fox."
"Me!" Kurama was stunned. He instantly rolled again onto his side to face the fire demon.
"Yes. I cannot abandon you here, with only ningens to keep you company. You said yourself I am the only one you can really talk to." Hiei said with a slight curve of a smile on his lips. He knew he would eventually have a full smile touch his face if he continued to be around the beautiful fox.
"There is Yusuke." Kurama appreciated that his friend was staying for him, but at the same time he didn’t want to be a reason the fire demon stayed where he wasn’t happy.
"It's true, Yusuke is a demon, but he portrays himself more ningen then demon for that female of his. You are a true demon, it doesn’t matter that you prefer this form while you choose to stay here for your human mother."
"But if you would be happier in the Makai."
"I am not happy here." Hiei stated, hoping the fox would not see through that lie. He could probably be happy anywhere if the fox was by his side. "But I won't be happy there either with you and Yukina here. Besides, if I went back right now, Mukuro would most certainly try to force me work for her again. I will eventually return to the Makai permanently, but not for several years."
"Since you admitted you will be staying here mostly, you can come live with me if you want to. At least you won't have to sleep in trees." Kurama offered with a small smile.
"Hn, I like being in the open air." It wasn’t a lie, Hiei did like being outdoors, but the offer was very tempting.
"Well it's an open invitation, please come by as often as you want. There will always be warm food and a soft bed waiting."
"I might do that.” Hiei then asked something he was curious about. “When do you plan to return to the Makai? I know it will be after your ningen mother dies, but will it be right away or will you take some time to grieve?"
"As you said, it will be after she passes away, but right now I can’t fully answer that question, because I haven’t fully thought about that yet. I might stay here until my redheaded form dies too. This form does have a much longer life span due to my demon spirit and the little amount of demon blood in my veins, but it doesn’t have a demon life span. So when I do return to the Makai permanently, I will be Youko Kurama again, though I will have changed a great deal. I will no longer be the Youko of legend." The sadness evident in his voice was displayed in Kurama’s eyes too.
"Why are you sad about that? You are Youko Kurama."
"I have come to very much like this redheaded form that I have now. It's less intimidating then my Youko form, it’s more soft and gentle. I also know you may not believe me, but I have come to like living in this world."
Hiei decided to only handle the first part of that statement as he really didn’t want to start an argument with the fox over the pros and cons of the ningen world. "You mean you like to see your opponents face when all the innocence that surrounds your redheaded form melts away to reveal the deadly demon that you truly are."
"Yes I do." Kurama laughed lightly, he really did like that aspect of battle now. "It's fun to watch them become frightened prey caught by a ‘fox’."
"That is fun and it is one of the many reasons why I enjoy watching your battles." A wicked smirk appeared on Hiei’s face. "Your redhead form’s life span might be longer then you believe since it draws on the power of your demon spirit. In either form you are nearly upper S class so considering that, you might actually be able to keep that form, it could be a part of you now. I believe you should be able to continue to switch between the two forms at will for hundreds of years to come."
"I hope you are right."
"A word of warning though, when you do go back to the Makai permanently don't ever let other demons know how much you have changed. There will be many demons that will literally kill to be the one to bring down and or kill Youko Kurama. You will be pursued mercilessly."
"Yes, I know that." Kurama answered before glancing at his wristwatch. He quickly sat up. "Wow! We have been here for over two hours."
"We have?" Hiei asked, sitting up as well. "It doesn't feel like it."
"That's true, but we have."
"It's too relaxing here, Fox."
"Will you be joining me back at my apartment or are you on your way?" Kurama asked while he started to pick up the trash from lunch.
Hiei didn't miss the way the fox's voice sounded. The redhead was hopeful that he would go back to the apartment. Hiei thought it over for a moment, remembering the nice little touches between them through out the day, the almost kiss from the morning, the gift he now wore and the brief kiss he gave on a soft cheek in return. He silently admitted to himself that he wanted whatever this was growing between them to continue and to hell with any consequences. Like Kurama, he wanted some happiness in his life too, maybe this was his chance to take hold of that happiness and claim it as his own.
"I'll go back with you." Hiei agreed, watching the fox's head turn quickly with a brilliant smile on his face. He liked the fact that it was he that made Kurama smile like that, but he would never let on to that fact, at least not yet. "Besides, I have to retrieve my katana."
"Oh yes, I forgot about that." Kurama laughed, putting the last of the garbage in the white bag.
"Hn." Hiei grunted as he stood up. He watched Kurama put his hand on the ground sending out a small amount of energy. The ground went back to normal before the seeds floated upwards and landed in the fox's hand.
Kurama quickly put them back into his hair before picking up the bags and standing. He once again led the way through the dense bushes with Hiei following close behind him. Once Kurama was sure no one could find the small path way, they walked out of the park and back towards the apartment without much conversation. Each demon was lost in their own thoughts, which was incredibly pretty much the same things. Kurama had tried a few things that had worked in the past for him, but with only small results from the fire demon. He knew that the kiss he had received on his cheek had been a huge step for his friend, and that made him very hopeful. Hiei understood he wasn’t good at romance and love, having never experienced it himself, but he had decided to go with what he did understand and as such he had a plan ready for the evening. He could only hope that Kurama would accept that he was trying the best he could with the knowledge he had and then maybe participate too.
Just before getting to the apartment, the fox stopped into a video store and rented some movies he thought Hiei might watch. This meant of course they were bloody and violent the whole way through. Once entering the apartment, Hiei passed the fox his new jacket, kicked off his boots, and then proceeded into the living area. He put one of the movies into the DVD player and sprawled himself on the couch. Kurama hung up both of their new jackets in the nearby closet, kicked off his own shoes and then checked the messages on his answering machine. There were several from his mother, one from his job, and one from Yusuke explaining that there was no new information about the mercenary demon. Kurama made the needed phone calls, saving his mother for last. He really needed to get a cell phone, but was reluctant as his mother would be calling him even more often. He loved the woman very much, but having her call daily to try to set him up on bind dates with nice, lovely young females she had met was really to much.
After Kurama was done, he turned to the fire demon. "I was thinking of ordering pizza. Do you think you will eat it?"
"Is that the flat bread covered in stuff we have had before?" Hiei asked, his attention fully on the TV.
"Yes." Kurama simply replied. Hiei merely nodded, accepting the choice of food. The fox then called in the order for delivery before sitting down on the couch to wait and watch the movie too.
"Fox?" Hiei asked, shifting suddenly into a sitting position. Kurama turned to him waiting for him to continue. "How long until the pizza gets here?"
"I was told about forty minutes."
"Do you think there is time to check my wounds?"
"Yes." Kurama answered. He was a bit shocked by the fact Hiei wanted him to check his wounds. He had thought it would be another battle of wills.
"Hn." Hiei grabbed the remote control for the DVD player and paused the movie. He got up and walked into the bedroom. Kurama shrugged not sure of what to make of the fire demon. He got up and followed him, heading straight for the bathroom. Walking out of the small room and carrying the needed supplies, he was not prepared for what he was greeted with. Kurama fell ungracefully backwards to his butt, dropping the supplies in his shock.
"What are you doing on the floor, Fox?" Hiei asked from the bed, amusement very clear in his voice. He was lying on top of the black sheets, on his back, completely naked. He may not know the pathway of romance or love, but he did know the pathway of sex and he would use that to the best of his ability.
"Hiei!" Kurama practically shouted, managing to avert his stare to pick up the dropped bandage rolls with a light blush creeping across his face.
"What?" Hiei smirked, bringing his hands up and lacing them behind his head. The fox had toyed with him the night before, now it was his turn.
Kurama jumped up and went right back in the bathroom. He came out a few seconds later, now carrying a red towel too. He approached the bed, dropping the supplies beside Hiei. He picked up the towel and draped it over Hiei's bare hips before he sat down beside him. The fire demon raised an eyebrow while snickering. The fox appeared to be embarrassed, he sort of liked that he could make him feel like that.
Hiei brought his arms back down beside him, smirk still in place. "What's the matter, Kurama?"
"Nothing." Kurama replied, his voice flat as he started on Hiei's arm that was closest to him. He worked quickly cleaning and redressing all the wounds, trying to ignore the growing bulge under the towel. He knew this was payback for last night and he was not going to let any reaction show. Kurama got up without a word and was carrying the bandages to the bathroom when his vision went black. He reached up and slowly pulled the warm towel off his head, the smell of aroused demon male assaulting his sensitive nose.
"I almost forgot about the towel. Thank you, Hiei." Kurama commented without looking back, walking on into the bathroom and closing the door behind him. He took a few moments to calm himself down, there was no way Hiei just offered himself to him. Under demon standards to be naked in another demon’s bed was an offer of sex. It had to be a mistake of his befuddled mind, it just had to be! Hiei would never outright do something like that. When Kurama felt like he was ready to face the other demon he came out of the bathroom to find that the fire demon was no longer in the bedroom. The fox walked into the living room to find Hiei lying on the couch with just his black pants on.
Kurama walked across the main room and entered the kitchen. He quickly returned with several cans of soda which he sat on the low table. He then sat down on the couch in the small space that was left open, acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. "The pizza will be here shortly."
"Good." Hiei kept his attention on the movie playing on the TV. He was surprised that he was a little hurt. He wasn’t sure if he had been rejected or if the fox had been in the human world to long to remember the not so subtle ways of demon courtship. He really hoped it was the latter issue. He might try again later.
They sat in silence, watching the chosen movie. When the doorbell rang, Kurama hurried to get it. He walked back to the couch, carrying two boxes of pizzas. The fox sat down on the floor, depositing the pizzas on the low table between the couch and the entertainment center. Hiei slid off the couch, settling on the floor right next to his friend. Kurama opened the top box and dug in hungrily. The steak sandwich and chips from earlier was long gone. They ate their fill, not talking much, just watching the very bloody movie. They moved back onto the couch and ended up watching all three movies during the evening, before falling asleep on opposite ends of the couch without realizing it.

Kurama awoke with a start, not even sure of what woke him up. He quickly realized he was still on the couch, on his stomach and it was morning. He felt movement against his leg. The fox looked over his shoulder, eyes widening, taking in the scene. His legs were tangled with Hiei's, who was fully asleep on his back. The fire demon muttered something incoherent before moving his leg, sliding it against Kurama's. A smile grew on the redhead's face before he moved his leg on purpose, sliding it against the fire demon's. Hiei sat straight up wide-awake.
"You're awake." Kurama commented while he turned over.
"I wasn't asleep, Fox." Hiei denied angrily.
"No? You weren't asleep?" Kurama asked in a mocking, teasing tone. "You were just rubbing your leg against mine on purpose?"
"I WAS NOT!"
"Okay, then you were asleep." Kurama answered triumphantly while untangling his legs and sitting up. He really liked that the fire demon had been so comfortable in his apartment, that his guard had been let down so much that he actually slept. Hiei was grinding his teeth with a nasty glare on his face aimed at the redhead. It didn't faze Kurama in the least, his smile only got bigger. "So do you want the shower first or shall I go?"
"You go first, Fox." A slow mischievous smirk spread across Hiei’s lips. "You are looking a bit rough around the edges."
"Thanks." Kurama grumbled as he got up and went into the bedroom.
Kurama was always very thankful for the little demon blood running in his veins and his strong demon spirit. It meant he didn't have to shave his face. In fact, he had no hair on his body, except the hair on his head. Some demon races tended to have hairless bodies and other demon races tended to be very hairy. He was lucky enough to be from a race that had hairless bodies. He also knew from that little stunt the previous night Hiei was the same, a hairless body. It had taken all of the fox's self control not to jump the fire demon and take what had been offered, because he was positive Hiei hadn’t realized what he had done. Kurama shuffled around his bedroom, gathering comfortable clothes and underwear. He wasn't planning to go anywhere that day, since the following day was work and so all he wanted to do was relax.
Kurama entered his bathroom and laid his clothes on the counter. He proceeded to brush his teeth and then he combed the knots out of his hair. He removed the low stool from the tiled bathing area and attached the long shower head to the hook on the wall. Kurama turned on the water, striped naked, and then stepped into the hot spray of water, pulling the shower curtain closed. He was planning to take a long, hot, relaxing shower, his muscles were very tense. Kurama suspected part of the reason was the night on the unforgiving couch and the other reason was quite obvious. It was the fire demon in the living room.
Last night Hiei had looked so damn delicious lying among the black sheets. The fox wanted to crawl right in and join him. It was extremely tempting. The redhead idly wondered what the fire demon was like in bed. Would he be gentle or rough, maybe a bit of both? Kurama wanted to hear him moaning his name repeatedly, unable to do anything else. To have his lips pressed tightly to Hiei’s in a hungry, demanding kiss. The fox's hand started drifting over his flat stomach, the touch light. As he continued to fantasize about the fire demon his hand continued dangerously downwards. It wouldn’t be the first time Kurama masturbated to thoughts of the handsome fire demon, and it sure wouldn’t be the last. To his utter mortification, the shower curtain was yanked open, he hadn’t even heard the door. Hiei stood there smirking into the shocked face of the redhead. The fire demon let his eyes leisurely slid over the wet body, lingering a bit longer in the hip area which knocked the fox back to his senses.
"HIEI!!! WHAT THE HELL?!!" Kurama yelled, grabbing a towel from the rack and quickly wrapping it around his waist, covering his partial erection.
Hiei’s eyes slowly slid upwards again to meet the fox's angry ones, smirk still present. "You look good wet."
"What?" Kurama asked softly, taken aback by Hiei's husky tone, completely forgetting for a moment that he was angry.
"Very good, Fox."
"What do you want?" Kurama spat, he was back to being furious.
"I'm hungry." Hiei replied, unfazed by the tone of voice from the fox.
"FINE! I will fix you breakfast when I get done. Is that all?"
"MMMM…” Hiei let his eyes briefly wonder once more, before he focused on green eyes again. “Yes.”
"GOOD! NOW GET OUT!" Kurama shouted, grabbing the curtain and yanking it shut.
Hiei turned towards the door, but before he left he had one final comment. "I don't understand what you are so embarrassed about, Kurama, especially with the situation between us the last day or so. I would have joined you in the shower if you had only asked and I promise you, you wouldn’t have needed your hand."
The fire demon left the bathroom and slammed the door before the fox could reply.
Kurama stood behind the curtain blushing brightly, nearly as red as his hair. He may have been embarrassed at first about Hiei seeing him half hard, but now he was more embarrassed about having judged the situation with Hiei so badly. He had been wrong about Hiei, so completely wrong! Hiei wasn’t at all naïve, he knew exactly what he was doing and the signals he was sending, even though he struggled with romantic physical contact at least he was trying. Hiei being naked in his bed really had been an invitation, and he had convinced himself it wasn’t. This knowledge changed everything! Hiei was a willing participant in the relationship that was growing between them, it just needed to be sweetly nurtured.
By the time Kurama left the bathroom he was no longer embarrassed, he was ready to make this work and he had a plan! He was determined to get the fire demon as a longterm lover and maybe, hopefully more. In a few years, he hoped he would get Hiei to agree to be his mate and then maybe they could take in a couple of young orphans from the Makai. That would be Kurama’s ultimate wish for his second life because he hadn’t been lying when he said he wanted a mate and a family, that he wanted to settle down. Now Kurama had so much hope that Hiei would be his mate. The redhead walked out of the bedroom with a towel wrapped tightly around his waist, combing his fingers through his damp red hair. Hiei was not expecting the fox to come out like that. His eyes widened a little and his mouth hung slightly ajar. Kurama smiled seductively as he walked up to him, with a small sway to his hips.
“See something you want?" Kurama asked as he put a single finger under the fire demon's chin and then gently closed his mouth. Hiei quickly stepped backwards, a little blush creeping across his nose and cheeks. Kurama found that to be very arousing, knowing he could make him blush like that.
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Hiei growled before pushing passed the fox to enter the bedroom. A few seconds later, the bathroom door slammed shut.
Kurama was not deterred from his plan. Hiei always lashed out in someway or ran away when he felt cornered, Kurama finally understood that it was a defense mechanism when Hiei didn’t know how to handle a situation, especially a romantic one. They would have to work on that together, because Kurama liked to be flirty and romantic with his longterm lovers, with Hiei being a potential mate that would make Kurama be even more so.
By the time Hiei was done with his shower, about fifteen minutes later, he had concluded that the fox had finally realized that he was receptive to a relationship between them. He also suspected Kurama already had several plans ready. Hiei had no doubt that this was going to be a very interesting and probably very rewarding day for both of them.

The day slowly progressed with the comments becoming more and more seductive from both demons, but so were the many touches they shared. At this point, it was a bit of a unspoken competition between them to see who could make the other react first. Late in the day, the demons pushed all the furniture in the living area to one side of the room and was now sparing with each other, agreeing to only hand to hand combat. Hiei had long since lost his shirt and Kurama's shirt was hanging open. The buttons now scattered across the bamboo paneled floor, from where Hiei had ripped the shirt apart.
"You're to slow, Fox." Hiei smirked, easily stepping to the side, away from Kurama's punch. "You should swallow your pride and admit that I win this little match."
Kurama looked over his shoulder and winked, a sly foxy smile curved his lips. "I always swallow, just not my pride."
It took about a second for the meaning of that comment to register with Hiei, but that was all the fox needed. Kurama was behind him in a flash. He wrapped his arms around the smaller demon and pressed his hands into the strong pectoral muscles of his chest, his thumbs brushing against peaked nipples. Hiei reached up, gripping the redhead's wrists. He turned his head slightly to glance at the fox behind him, a truly wicked smile adorning his features.
"You are not the only one that swallows, Fox." Hiei said before he flipped Kurama across the room. The fox landed gracefully with a pleased smile. It was good to know that they both liked to give head.
"Mmmmm….. something else we have in common." Kurama replied as he charged at Hiei. The fire demon stepped to the side and then spun around as the redhead passed him. He slapped the fox hard across the butt.
"Firm, but with the perfect amount of cushion for my liking." Hiei’s little smile displayed his demon fangs when the fox spun around, fixing him with a glare.
Kurama slowly smiled before dropping down and kicking out his foot, sweeping Hiei off his feet. The startled fire demon reached out and took the fox down with him. They rolled a couple of times before coming to a stop. Kurama sat up, straddling Hiei's hips, both breathing hard and staring at each other. The fox licked his lips, a seductive smile spreading across his face. He knew he was about to push the fire demon and himself to the breaking point.
"Looks like I found something a lot firmer then my ass. I bet with the right kind of ‘exercise’ it would get a lot harder and a lot bigger." Kurama let out a breathy moan as he pushed his butt down against Hiei's hips and the evident bulge.
That was the final straw. Hiei reached up, fisted his hands in Kurama's shirt, and yanked downwards. The fire demon crashed his lips into the fox's in a harsh, bruising kiss. The redhead responded with as much enthusiasm, wrapping his arms around the fire demon's neck. Hiei let go of the shirt only to snake his arms around Kurama's waist, drawing him down to lay tightly against him. Both were getting and enjoying the kiss they had both wanted for a very long time.
