First I want to thank all of you for being so patient and especially for all the good wishes. Life is on cruise control right now but I�m not sure how long that will last. My sister seemed to handle her radiation treatments fairly well, but now they�ve started chemo and she seems a little more out of it.
Unfortunately this story is progressing slowly. I get what I think are really good ideas, but then before I can get them written down, I forget. It seems like almost every one of my stories has a chapter like this one, where for almost half a chapter Kurama has to explain everything to his mother. I�m not sure I�m done with Shiori�s reaction yet though. Maybe I�ll let it sink in then make her flip out or something.
Oh well, I hope you enjoy what I�ve given you. As usual this story will take a few more roller coaster twists before it�s finished. So I hope to do better as it progresses.

CHAPTER 6

Even from dozens of yards away, Shiori could hear the fear in the silver creatures cry. �HIEI!�
Unaware that his mother was watching, Kurama drew a seed from his hair. With a surge of his ki, the Youko coaxed the plant to circle Hiei�s arm. A moment later the plants large leaves wrapped themselves around Hiei�s shoulder covering his wound. Brushing a hand across Hiei�s cheek, Kurama leaned down to kiss him tenderly. �Don�t worry Dragon, I�ve got you.�
After kissing Hiei again, Kurama picked him up in his arms and headed towards the house. Only when he heard Yusuke�s �Oh shit!� did Kurama notice Shiori and Kazuya�s shocked faces watching him. With Hiei seriously wounded, he pushed concern for them aside and carried Hiei past them. As he sprinted up the porch steps, Kurama heard Kuwabara call out. �Hold on Hiei! I�ll get Yukina!�
Though he was always grateful for his friends, he was never more so than when he heard Yusuke with his parents. �Shiori, Kazuya, I know you�ve seen a lot of shocking things this afternoon, but I�m sure Kurama will explain everything soon. Let�s go inside. Even though we got that thing, we don�t want to take any chances.�
Entering the house, they saw Kurama settle Hiei in one of the living room chairs. With a frown, Yusuke questioned. �Kurama, shouldn�t you put him on the bed?�
Without looking up as he checked the plant on Hiei�s shoulder, Kurama answered. �No Yusuke, blue mountain demon venom is lethal. The poison will only spread faster if I lay him down.�
Seeing Hiei struggle to keep his eyes open, Kurama drew another seed from his hair and made it grow. �You need to stay awake Dragon. I�m going to give you something that will help you fight the poison.�
Taking several leaves from the new plant, Kurama put them in his mouth and chewed them. Ignoring his mother�s shocked gasp, Kurama placed his lips on Hiei�s, feeding him the leaves he had chewed. Using the kiss to entice Hiei to take the leaves, the Youko didn�t pull back until the fire demon had swallowed it all.
Shiori blushed when the creature she was beginning to believe was her son began to pull away and Hiei�s lips attempted to follow. As Kurama check the plant on Hiei�s shoulder again, Shiori finally found her voice. �Wha� what is that plant doing?�
Drawing a shaky breath, Kurama hesitantly turned to meet her gaze. �Its leaves have tendrils that are boring into his flesh to draw out the poison. As soon as I�m sure Hiei�s life is no longer in danger, Yukina can heal him.�
As if on cue, Kuwabara opened the door and Yukina came rushing in. Seeing Kurama kneeling at Hiei�s side and the plant on his shoulder, Yukina moved to his other side and placed a hand on his chest. �Kazuma described a blue mountain demon. Kurama, how quickly did your plant go after the poison?�
Kurama�s attention was quickly returned to his wounded lover. �Within a minute Yukina, but it doesn�t appear to be feeding anymore. Can you check to see if it�s safe to remove it?�
Before Yukina could answer, Hiei grunted. �I�m fine Fox. Now get that thing off of me. I always knew one of your plants would eat me someday.�
Seeing Yukina�s nod of approval, Kurama reached for his plant and it quickly released itself onto it�s master�s hand. Everyone watched as Kurama lovingly caressed the plant, then were surprised when they watched as it died. �Thank you my pet. Your sacrifice for my Dragon is appreciated.�
A moment later, the dead plant had shrunk back to a seed and Kurama set it aside. He then watched intently as Yukina�s hands moved to Hiei�s wounds. So much had happened in the past hour, Kurama could only smile when his parents gasped as Hiei�s wounds closed one by one. Knowing Hiei was alright now, Kurama sighed and began to turn toward his parents. Hiei stopped him however, with a tug on his hair. �Not so fast Fox. You�re next.�
Trying not to meet his gaze, Kurama shrugged. �It�s nothing Hiei. I�ll tend to it later.�
Hiei growled. �Did you think I wouldn�t notice that you�ve been using your left hand Kurama? If it�s nothing then show me your right hand.�
With a resigned sigh, Kurama held out his right hand. Cupping the closed hand in his palm, Hiei looked up at Yukina. When she gently pulled his fingers open, Kurama hissed. �Oh Kurama. Hiei�s right, I need to heal these burns. Why would you try to hide these from us?�
Hiei grunted, when Kurama looked away as if he was brooding. �Hn. If his flaming whip did this to him, imagine what it did to the human. The stupid Fox just doesn�t want his mother to see him wounded.�
As Yukina quickly healed his burned hand, she nodded. �Well, since the cat� or fox in this case� is out of the bag, let�s get you both healed, then you can talk to Shiori and Kazuya.�
Pleading golden eyes turned to Hiei. Without a word from Kurama, Hiei answered. �She�s already seen the worst Kurama. Don�t you think the one she recognizes as her son should be the one to explain?�
With a reluctant nod, the Youko turned sad golden eyes to Shiori. �I�m sorry.�
Then he lowered his head, and Shiori gasped when the silver creature faded away to reveal her beloved redheaded son. �Shuuichi?�
Before Kurama could reply, Hiei grabbed him and pulled him close. Shiori could only watch as Kurama buried his face against Hiei�s chest and held tightly to him with his left hand. Kurama was now kneeling between his legs as Hiei growled. �Get his hand Yukina!�
Seeing the burns on her son�s curled fingers, Shiori cried out. �Shuuichi!�
Even with his face pressed against Hiei, Shiori could hear Kurama�s whimpers as Yukina worked on his hand. Kazuya pulled Shiori into his arms when Yukina pulled Kurama�s fingers open to reveal his charred palm. After what she�d seen when Hiei�s shoulder was healed, Shiori shouldn�t have been surprised when only a few minutes passed and Kurama�s hand was completely healed.
Shiori frowned when Kurama stayed in Hiei�s arms even after he was healed. As he stroked Kurama�s back and hair, Hiei spoke softly. �Kurama used a lot of energy to control his whip while it was on fire and fight while he was being burned. I�m giving him some of my energy to give him some strength back.�
Even though she didn�t fully understand, Shiori nodded. A short time later, Kurama lifted his head to smile at Hiei. �Thank you Hiei. I feel much better now.�
Hiei acknowledged Kurama�s thanks by leaning down for a kiss. Knowing that Shiori had already seen so much, Kurama eagerly returned Hiei�s tender kiss before sitting back on his heals. When he sighed and turned toward his parents, he was grateful for Hiei�s comforting hand stroking his hair. �Mother, Father, I�m sure you have a lot of questions. Where would you like me to start?�
Shiori�s first question pierced right to Kurama�s heart. �Are you my son?�
Even though he�d had this conversation in his head many times over the years, Kurama still considered his answer carefully. �A part of me is, yes. The child you gave birth to was human, but I was born with the soul of a demon. An ancient Youko named Yoko Kurama.�
Seeing his parents listening intently, Kurama continued. �I was about five when I became aware that I was part demon. By age ten I could access quite a bit of my demon energy. At sixteen I had become strong enough to use most of my demon powers and take my Youko form. Though a small part of me retains my humanity, I have evolved back into a powerful demon.�
As Shiori trembled in his arms, Kazuya knew she was trying to absorb her son�s words. Wanting to give her a moment, Kazuya inquired. �Are the others demons too?�
Kurama nodded. �Most of them are. Hiei is a fire demon. Yukina is an ice apparition. Yusuke was born human like I was, but had a demon ancestor. He was killed in a fight a few years ago and his dormant Mazaku genes revived him, transforming him into a full demon.�
Hiei rolled his eyes when Kuwabara raised his hand. �I�m human, but I have psychic abilities and can use my spirit energy to form my spirit sword.�
This peaked Kazuya�s interest. �Yes I noticed you all used different weapons. Does that mean you all have different abilities?�
Reaching into his hair, Kurama withdrew a seed that he easily transformed into a beautiful red rose then handed it to Shiori. �Yes Father, we do. I am a plant manipulator. As a fire demon Hiei can use fire or supplement a weapon by adding fire. He also has a Jagon eye and can control a spirit dragon from the depths of spirit world.�
Using his now healed hand, Kurama reached out and caressed the dragon tattoo on Hiei�s arm before he continued. �Yusuke uses his demon energy in bursts like a gun, or transforms it into a wave of energy for larger attacks. As you saw, Yukina has trained to use her demon energy as a healer, though she can use ice the same way Hiei can use fire.�
Shiori seemed to have calmed down and was now quite intrigued. �The way you all fought together, it was almost like a dance. And you ran and jumped like nothing I have ever seen. As demons do you have other abilities?�
Kurama nodded. �Yes Mother, as demons our psychic abilities are many times that of most humans. Kuwabara is a rare exception to that. As to our strength, demons are ranked on different levels depending on their strength. Yusuke is a demon king and Hiei is a demon lord and heir to a demon king, therefore they have attained high S-class, which is one of the highest levels. I am just a bit below them at S-class.�
Hiei grunted. �Hn, but at his age, he could still kick our ass if he put his mind to it.�
Looking at each of them, Kazuya frowned. �What does he mean Shuuichi? You aren�t much older than they are.�
Kurama turned to glare at Hiei before answering his step-father. �In human terms I�m only a year older than Yusuke and Kuwabara. In demon terms however, I am considerably older. Yusuke has only been a demon for a few years, so he is just a child. Hiei is just over a hundred, which to a demon is barely an adult. As a Youko however, I am over a thousand years old. My vast knowledge and experience gives me an advantage over their youth and strength.�
Alarmed, Shiori gasped. �He� you� are over a thousand years old? How can that be Shuuichi? The demon we saw looked young, strong and healthy.�
Again Hiei grunted. �Hn, you forgot beautiful Shiori. Youko�s are very vain creatures.�
Relaxing a little, Kurama smiled for the first time. �Very funny Hiei. Actually Mother, as a demon, I am in the prime of my life. Most demons can live to be two to three thousand years old. Unfortunately, life in Makai is rough, and few demons die of old age.�
Seeing that things were going well, Yusuke slapped Kuwabara on the back. �We�d better get going Buddy. My wedding is in just a few hours.�
Hearing this, Yukina turned wide eyes to Kuwabara. �Oh my, we ran off and left Keiko, Koenma and Boton with the Yukimora�s and your parents.�
Turning to Hiei and Kurama, Kuwabara shrugged. �Oh well, guess the fun�s over. You two get some rest, we�ll take care of everything so all you have to do is show up for the wedding.�
Nodding, Kurama smiled again. �Thanks guys. We�ll see you in a few hours.�
Once they left, Kurama looked back at his mother. �Now that we�re alone, I�m sure you�re curious about the way Hiei and I have been behaving toward each other.�
Blushing slightly, Shiori nodded. �I wasn�t sure I should ask, but now that you mention it, the two of you have been rather affectionate this afternoon.�
Taking a deep breath, Kurama prepared for the other conversation he hoped he�d never have with his parents. �As you�ve probably surmised, Hiei and I are more than friends. I�m sorry if this upsets you but you must understand that demons have different views on who they take for lovers and mates than humans do. Though some species are heterosexual and even asexual, most demons are bisexual.�
When it didn�t look like either of his parents was horrified by his same sex relationship, Kurama continued. �Our relationship is not serious. Unmated demons as powerful as we are tend to either choose lovers that are weaker we are, or ones that we would trust with our lives. Since Hiei and I have been best friends and fighting partners for over ten years, being lovers is only natural to us.�
With Kurama still low on energy, Hiei spoke up before the next question could be added. �Enough for now. Kurama needs to rest before tonight.�
Leaning forward Shiori agreed. �That�s right, you were both hurt. You boys should lay down for a while.�
When everyone would have stood, Hiei leaned down and picked Kurama up. Blushing, Kurama tried to wiggle out of his arms. �Hiei, I�ll be fine. Just let me show my parents to their room.�
Holding tightly to the redhead, Hiei looked at Kurama�s parents, then nodded to the room on the left. �The room to the left is yours, the one to the right is ours. Damn it Kurama, hold still before I drop you.�
Blushing, Kurama obeyed his lover�s request. Seeing his embarrassment, Shiori smiled. �It�s alright Shuuichi, let Hiei take care of you. We�ll manage just fine on our own.�
As Hiei turned toward their room, Kurama called over the fire demon�s shoulder. �Thank you Mother. We�ll see you in a little while.�
When Hiei reached the bed, he abruptly dropped Kurama onto the covers. The fire demon smirked when the redhead pouted. �That wasn�t nice Hiei, you�re supposed to be taking care of me.�
With a grunt, Hiei kicked off his boots and lay down on the bed. �Then get over here Fox. Between your plants and Yukina�s healing I�m doing fine. You on the other hand are still too low on energy.�
With a smile Kurama eagerly cuddled against Hiei�s side, resting his head on his lover�s shoulder. Just as he got comfortable there was a knock on the door. When Kurama would have pulled away, Hiei held him tight and called out. �Come in Shiori.�
When Shiori pushed the door open, Kurama could see she was a little embarrassed to see them so intimate. �I�m sorry to bother you, but your father and I were wondering if it was safe for us to go up to the main house to see the Yukimora�s and the Kuwabara�s while you rest?�
Looking at Hiei, Kurama waited for his nod before answering. �It�s perfectly safe now Mother. Hiei will know if there�s anything we should be concerned with. Have a good time.�
With a smile and a wave, Shiori backed out of the room. The moment the door closed Kurama grinned and leaned up to kiss his lover. When his hand began wandering closer and closer to the waistband of Hiei�s pants, he suddenly found his wrist held firmly in the fire demon�s hand. �Oh come on Hiei. We might not get another opportunity with my parents sleeping in the next room.�
Unaffected by the redhead�s pout, Hiei growled. �Horny Fox! You need to rest and regain your strength or you�re going to miss the detective�s wedding.�
Disappointed, Kurama stole another kiss before settling against Hiei�s shoulder. �Alright, but you have to promise to dance with me at the wedding.�
Rolling his eyes, Hiei grunted. �Whatever it takes to get you to shut up and sleep Fox.�
Sleepily, Kurama chuckled. �Damn, I should have asked to sneak out wild kinky sex after the wedding instead.�
As he drifted off to sleep, Kurama was unaware that Hiei thought wild kinky sex sounded a hell of a lot better than dancing.
