At long last all of your questions will be answered. As you’ll probably figure out, this is almost the end. I did however save one last little secret for the final chapter/epilog.
Since I started this story with a lemon, I figured I’d end it the same way, so you perverts will just have to wait a bit longer to pucker up on some citrus. Since the lemon I opened this with is one of the most sensual I’ve ever written, I could use some ideas for the lemon or lemons still to come.
Thanks so much for reading and for the reviews that got through. I know fan fiction was screwed up and wouldn’t let people review, so I hope you’ll all make it up to me by reviewing extra for this chapter. Enjoy.
MISSING YOU
Chapter 8
Two days later Maya walked between Kurama and Michael as they exited the courthouse. “Shuuichi, I know you said you pulled a few strings, but to have taken care of everything so quickly those must be some powerful connections.”
Smiling, Kurama was just about to reply when Maya gasped and grabbed both his and Michael’s arms. When she doubled over, both men cried out. “Maya!”
After a few deep breaths Maya looked up at them with a guilty grin. “Sorry. I didn’t want you two to worry.”
Since she spoke in Japanese, Michael looked confused, but Kurama understood and frowned at her. “Maya, how long have you been in labor?”
Biting her lip, Maya answered reluctantly. “Since early this morning.”
Though his Japanese wasn’t great, Michael had gotten the gist. “She’s having the baby isn’t she? Shuuichi, you get the car. I’ll bring Maya.”
Nodding, Kurama sprinted down the courthouse steps. As he reached his car, Kurama turned to see Michael sweep Maya up in his arms. Hopping in the car, Kurama pulled up just as Michael reached the bottom of the steps. Maya was panting as Michael helped her into the back seat then climbed in beside her. The moment the door closed, Kurama headed to the hospital.

The next day Kurama’s step was light as he got out of the elevator in the hospital lobby. Looking up he smiled as he saw Shiori and Kazuya enter the hospital. “Mother, Father, good morning.”
Kazuya smiled and nodded as Shiori gave Kurama a hug. “Shuuichi, how are Maya and the baby this morning?”
Accepting his stepfather’s handshake, Kurama smiled. “They are both doing wonderful Mother. Maya’s been napping on and off and the baby is in the nursery with Michael. One of the nurses is teaching him how to hold and change her.”
Hearing Michael’s name, Kazuya frowned. “Are you sure you’re doing the right thing Shuuichi? This is not a decision to be made lightly.”
Putting a hand on Kazuya’s shoulder, Kurama tried to reassure him. “Everything is going to be fine Father. I take my responsibility to Maya and the baby very seriously, so I wouldn’t let this happen if I wasn’t sure. I hope you don’t mind if I leave you to visit them alone. If I’m going to talk to Hiei and get back before Michael’s flight, I have to get going.”
Giving his parents a hug, Kurama hurried from the hospital. Since he’d left Michael his car, Kurama headed off on foot. An hour later he was running in his haste to get to Hiei. As he neared the temple grounds, Kurama reached out with his ki to see if Hiei was there. When his plants informed him that the fire demon had not returned and all was well, Kurama bypassed the temple and headed straight for the portal.
It was early afternoon before Kurama reached Alaric. When he requested an audience with Hiei, the guard led him to a sitting room. After a short wait the door finally opened, only Hiei wasn’t there. Disappointed, Kurama bowed respectfully to Mukuro as she entered the room and closed the door. “It’s been a long time Kurama. Welcome to Alaric.”
Holding his head high, Kurama nodded. “Thank you Lady Mukuro. I’m sorry the guard disturbed you. I asked to speak to Hiei.”
Moving to one of the chairs, Mukuro took a seat and indicated for Kurama to join her. Wondering what her agenda was, the redhead reluctantly sat across from her. “Kurama, before I allow you to see Hiei, we need to talk. You may think this is none of my business, but anything that effects my heir is my business. I’d like to know what that mark on your arm means to you.”
Having chosen this outfit with the intent purpose of displaying the dragon tattoo on his arm, Kurama knew exactly what she was referring to. “It means precisely what you think it means Mukuro. By tattooing his dragon on my arm I am declaring that I consider myself to be Hiei’s mate.”
Not sure if her grunt was one of approval or disapproval, Kurama waited. “You hurt him greatly when you left him three years ago. Unless he chooses to tell you what that means, I’m not sure you will ever fully understand the extent of that pain. When he returned from the Ningenkai a few days ago, that wound had been reopened. Though the pain is not as great as before, he is hurting none the less.”
Lowering his eyes guiltily, Kurama murmured. “I know I hurt him Mukuro, and I have never regretted anything more, in either of my lives.”
Appearing to approve of his response, Mukuro nodded. “Good, because if you ever hurt him again, I will hunt you down and kill you myself. In fact, unless you are here to lay permanent claim to him, I will have to deny your request to see him at all.”
The redhead’s green eyes were rimmed with gold as he glared back at her. “Hiei is mine, and no one, not even you will ever keep me from him again. Now tell me where he is before I begin destroying your fortress and find him myself.”
Amused, Mukuro laughed. “That would be pointless, since Hiei’s not here. I suggest you begin looking in the mountains to the west towards Gandura. He’s been searching the forests and mountains for something. What ever it is must be really well hidden. He’s been searching for it for the past three years.”
Confused by that last bit of information, Kurama thanked her and left. Knowing the mountains well, Kurama picked up Hiei’s trail less than an hour later. It was another hour though before he was within catching range of the fire demon. It didn’t take Kurama long to figure out, Hiei didn’t want to be caught.
Leading Hiei into a trap, Kurama easily snared him in vines. “Damn it Kurama! Let me go!”
Moving to remove Hiei’s katana so he couldn’t use it against his plants, Kurama stood before his prey. “If I release you Hiei, you will run. Unless you promise not to run, you’re staying right there.”
Struggling to free himself, Hiei growled. “Why the hell would I stay here with you, you lying fox?”
About to reach for his captive, Kurama suddenly flinched away when Hiei raised his ki, thus raising his temperature. “Ahh! Please Hiei, I can understand why you’re upset with me, but if you would just let me explain…”
Before Kurama could finish, Hiei raised his ki again. With another cry, Kurama winced. “Damn it Hiei, stop that! You know hurting my plants hurts me!”
Hiei grunted. “Good! Maybe now you know how it feels!”
Raising his ki sharply, Hiei was suddenly released. Just as he would have flitted away though, Kurama doubled over with a loud cry. “AHHH!”
Not sure whether or not to believe the fox, Hiei looked at him suspiciously. What he saw made him hesitate. Kurama was on his knees, with his arms wrapped across his abdomen, his red hair had fallen forward to cover his face. Hiei was about to leave him there when Kurama’s soft voice whispered in pain. “Hiei…”
Suddenly wondering what he had done, Hiei rushed to his side. “Fox, are you alright?”
When Kurama moaned and Hiei reached for him, the fire demon suddenly found himself caught in the fox’s arms. “Gotcha!”
Before Hiei could protest, Kurama lay claim to his mouth. The passionate kiss called out to the longing in Hiei’s heart dispelling any thoughts of struggling. Held fast in Kurama’s arms, Hiei surrendered to his fox. Feelings Hiei’s submission, Kurama slowly raised his head. “Gods Hiei, I missed you so much. Please my precious Dragon, please hear me out.”
Hearing the same longing he felt in Kurama’s voice, Hiei knew he would give in. With a sigh, Hiei nodded. Suddenly getting an idea, Hiei gave Kurama a curious look. “Where should we go? I don’t want to go back to Alaric.”
Something in the fire demon’s voice caught Kurama’s attention. Deciding to test his theory, Kurama gave a look around before smiling back at Hiei. “I have a den near here, we could go there.”
The redhead could almost feel Hiei’s reaction to his words, but the fire demon just shrugged. “Where ever Fox.”
Rising from the ground, Kurama took Hiei’s hand. Leading him through the trees, Kurama twisted and turned until he brought them to a rocky area against the mountains. “If you were looking for my den Hiei, where would you suspect it was?”
Looking around, Hiei saw no place that could conceal the entrance to a cave. Nor did he see any trees with surface roots that could hide an underground den. Confused he looked at Kurama. “There’s nothing here Fox.”
With a satisfied grin, Kurama pulled Hiei towards the rocks. Even on closer inspection of the plants that wove between the rocks, Hiei saw nothing. Pulling Hiei in front of him, Kurama placed his right hand over the back of his and moved both their hands towards the rocks. “Hiei, gently feed your ki to the plants through your hand.”
As he did what Kurama requested, Hiei felt the fox’s ki pass through his hand to the plants. Almost instantly the plants quivered recognizing their master. A moment later vines and plants moved a section of rocks aside to reveal the hidden entrance to a cave. A gentle push from Kurama spurred Hiei forward into the mouth of the cave. The moment they were inside the entrance sealed behind them.
At first Hiei thought they were in the dark, but after his eyes adjusted he could see streams of light filtering between the rocks behind them. Knowing Kurama wanted him to, Hiei moved forward to inspect the cave. Seeing nothing but an empty cave, he turned to the redhead and shrugged. “This is it?”
Amused laughter filled the cavern as Kurama moved to the back wall. “Not quite Koi. Come here.”
Again Kurama moved Hiei before him and covered his hand. With Kurama’s hand guiding his, Hiei could feel that part of the rocky wall felt different. With a ki nudge from Kurama, Hiei used his ki as they had before and part of the wall came to life. With Kurama guiding their movements, the living wall parted to reveal another cave beyond. Just as the entrance had, the wall sealed shut the moment they were inside.
This cavern was different from the almost dark outer cavern. Before them was a well lit maze leading in five directions. Taking Hiei’s hand, Kurama moved down one of the corridors. As they walked they passed several small chambers. Even at a glance Hiei could see each was full of treasure. One chamber was filled with paintings and mirrors in various sizes. Some with gold bejeweled frames. Another chamber was laden with gold, silver and jewel encrusted dishes, flatware and goblets.
The chamber Kurama took him to was lined wall to wall with chests full of jewels and jewelry. When Kurama turned to look at him, Hiei could see his amused green eyes were rimmed with gold. “Was this more what you had in mind when you went searching for my den Dragon?”
Realizing he’d been found out, Hiei grunted. “Hn. This is more like it Fox. Is there more?”
When the gold left Kurama’s eyes, Hiei couldn’t help but feel his fox was disappointed. “Follow me.”
Walking back the way they had come, Kurama indicated two more corridors. “Both of those contain treasure like the last. This is where I store food and supplies. Down here is where I bathe.”
Down this corridor was something resembling a kitchen and storage room, but the cavern that caught Hiei’s attention was the one at the end where Kurama said he bathed. This cavern was huge. There was water streaming down one wall like an indoor waterfall that fed into a large pool.
Moving forward, Kurama sat at the edge of the pool and ran his hand in the clear water. “The water runs down the mountain in an underground stream. I dammed it here to form the pool. When the water reaches the retaining wall there it pours over and drains away. The water in the pool circulates and any dirty water is replaced by clean every few hours.”
Wanting to redeem himself somehow, Hiei’s ruby eyes regarded the fox. “Impressive. What’s down the last corridor?”
Kurama shrugged. “Just my private chamber.”
Hiei held out his hand. “Show me.”
Grinning, Kurama took Hiei’s hand. Together they headed for the last corridor. This appeared to be the smallest of the five corridors with only three chambers coming off of it. The first appeared to be a library with two large chairs and the walls lined floor to ceiling with shelves of books. The second was a closet. It had dressers and trunks full of clothes and blankets as well as a full length mirror. The third however was the private chamber Kurama had referred to. It was a large room dominated by a huge bed. There was a vanity table with brushes and perfumes as well as shelves of lotions, oils and various other personal effects.
With his heart pounding, Hiei made a quick decision and hopped on the bed. Sitting cross legged in the middle of the bed ruby eyes turned to the redhead. “Alright Fox, you have my attention.”
Gazing at the beautiful sight of Hiei seated in the middle of his bed, Kurama grinned. “Let’s start with getting your filthy boots off of my bed. Since your cloak is usually spattered with blood, it has to go too.”
As Hiei kicked his boots off and tossed his cloak aside, Kurama toed off his shoes and joined him on the bed. He noticed that Hiei had loosened his scarf but had left it on. Though he was curious about this, because Hiei usually removed the scarf with his cloak, Kurama made no comment. Instead he used it to his advantage. Grabbing both ends of the scarf, Kurama pulled Hiei forward until their lips met. With Hiei distracted by the kiss, Kurama maneuvered him.
When Hiei was released from the passionate kiss, he found himself straddled over Kurama’s lap. When he blushed at their intimate position, Kurama smiled and nuzzled his cheek. “Gods I missed you my beautiful Dragon. I swear it feels like I’m only alive when I’m touching you.”
Indulging himself a moment, Hiei wrapped his arms around Kurama and sighed. “This isn’t helping Kurama. It will only hurt more when I have to let you go again.”
With his hand stroking Hiei’s back and hair, Kurama purred. “No Hiei, I’ll never hurt you again, because I’ll never leave you again.”
Flinching at the lie, Hiei pulled back and growled. “As a demon Kurama you are truly a thief and have stolen my heart, but as a human you are a man of honor and will not abandon your… wife and… child.”
Hearing the hurt in Hiei’s voice at those words, Kurama almost couldn’t look at him. “You are right Dragon, and that is what I need to explain. Will you hear me out?”
Reluctantly, Hiei nodded. “Hiei, leaving you was the hardest thing I have ever done, especially after we made love. I wanted nothing more than to hide you away here in my den and keep you all to myself. Peace had been established and all the treaties had been signed and you were about to dedicate yourself to being Mukuro’s heir. I too had made a commitment to my human life. Though it was difficult, I knew the few decades until my human life ended would be only a fraction of our demon lives.”
So far Kurama had not said anything Hiei didn’t already know. “I’ve been miserable without you Hiei. Missing you consumes every minute of my life. I felt like it is my penance for leaving you. My mother noticed. She asked me who I was in love with. Maintaining my secret, I simply told her it was someone I couldn’t have. She was constantly worried about how unhappy I was. One day I thought I found a way to make her stop worrying.”
Hiei stiffened knowing this was when Maya came into his life. “Five months ago I was walking through the park on the way home from my mothers. There was a woman sitting on a bench crying. No, not just crying, she was sobbing. Feeling that it was none of my business, I was about to walk away when I realized I knew her. Maya had been my friend when we were children. She was the girl we saved the day you and I met Hiei.”
Hiei’s little gasp told Kurama he remembered the incident but that he hadn’t placed Maya as that same girl. “Unable to just walk away, I went to her. She was crying because her family had disowned her. They had been unhappy when a few months before she had begun dating foreign business man. After he left, Maya waited for him to contact her, but he never did. Then a few weeks later she realized she was pregnant. When her family found out they threw her out. She had no job, because she worked in the family store, no money, and no where to go.”
Eyes wide, Hiei couldn’t believe Kurama had just said the child was not his. “Not knowing what else to do, I took her home with me. I told her she could stay in my spare bedroom until her family came to their senses or she could make other arrangements. A few weeks later nothing had changed. Her family had not relented one bit and she was having trouble finding work because she was beginning to show and no one would hire her knowing she was pregnant.”
At the words ‘spare bedroom’, Hiei began hoping. “One day we were talking and the solution seemed clear. If she were married, her family would forgive her. If I were married, Shiori would stop worrying because I would have the wife and family she always wanted for me. A few days later we were married, the only problem was it didn’t solve anything. Her parents were still angry. She had disgraced them and now disgraced me because the child was not mine. Shiori was upset because she knew we didn’t marry for love. To top it all off, Maya and I were still miserable because we both loved other people.”
Hiei could barely breathe as Kurama continued. “Hoping that our families would come around, Maya and I continued with our pretend marriage. Shiori eventually came around a bit, and accepted Maya, but she still wished I had been true to my heart. Then a few weeks ago we came across you and the others in the park. I tried to do the honorable thing, but it wasn’t long before Maya figured out that you were the one I loved. She was great Hiei. She never tried to prevent me from seeing you, even encouraging it. She always asked how you were, anxious to hear if we had cured you.”
With every word Kurama spoke, Hiei’s hopes grew. “Even before we went to Makai Hiei, I knew I would never be able to live without you again. I asked Yusuke to find the father of Maya’s baby. Of course he didn’t know that’s who he was finding, but the results were the same. When I contacted Michael, he was thrilled to find Maya. He had called her families home and store several times, but Maya’s parents had told him she didn’t want to talk him. He even came back to Japan looking for her, but her parents told him she had gotten married and didn’t want to see him. When I told him about the baby, he was so excited he couldn’t get here fast enough. Even his family is anxious for him to bring Maya and the baby home.”
Kurama had been talking for over half an hour so he almost jumped when Hiei finally spoke. “She is your mate Kurama, how can he take her?”
Smiling at his sweet Dragon, Kurama kissed his nose. “She is not my mate Hiei. She’s not even my wife any more. I didn’t tell Maya that Michael was coming. I didn’t want to get her hopes up and then have something go wrong, but we did talk about you. She knew I wanted to be with you and she didn’t want to be the one to come between us. We finally agreed to end our marriage. In Makai mating is for life. In the Ningenkai however, a marriage can be ended. In a true marriage two people can get divorced, but in our pretend marriage we could have it annulled. A marriage of convenience that has never been consummated can be annulled as if it never existed. Usually, this takes months to accomplish, but I was in a hurry so I enlisted Koenma’s help.”
Seeing Hiei’s look of surprise, Kurama chuckled. “I know, I haven’t been to Reikai or spoken Koenma in years, but I was desperate. Not only did I not want to wait one more minute to be with you, Michael wanted to marry Maya before the baby was born. All of that has been accomplished Hiei. My marriage to Maya was annulled almost a week ago. Michael got here the day those nymphs tried to take you. Michael and Maya were married yesterday and their baby was born last night. My last responsibility to Maya and her baby will be driving them to the airport next week when Michael will take them to live with him in America.”
Though everything Kurama said was important, none more important to Hiei than one. “You… didn’t claim her?”
Hearing the uncertainty in Hiei’s whisper, Kurama pulled him close. “I swear to you Hiei, Maya and I never shared a bed, a room, or anything more intimate than an occasional hug or kiss on the cheek. I have only one mate I want and that is you Hiei. I have considered you my mate since the day we made love. I treated the scratches you left on my arm so they would scar and I could bare your mark. Then I had the dragon tattooed over them to declare myself to be your mate no matter how long we were separated.”
Kurama could feel Hiei trembling as they clung to each other. “I love you Hiei and I never intend to be separated from you again.”
Warm breath whispered across Kurama’s neck as Hiei whispered. “What about Shiori?”
After kissing his cheek, Kurama pulled back to smile at his Dragon. “She knows everything Hiei. When I left Maya at the hospital to go to you, Shiori figured out it was you I was in love with. As soon as Maya and I had everything worked out I told Shiori everything. She knows we’re demons, she knows I love you, and she knows I will be leaving soon to be with you in Makai. I told her I would visit her when I could, but that I would never be separated from you again.”
Seeing Hiei was speechless, Kurama got nervous. “I have all these dreams Hiei, I’ve made all these plans and I never even asked if you wanted them too. Do you love me Hiei? Will you spend the rest of your life with me?”
The uncertainty in the usually confident fox’s eyes tore at Hiei’s heart. “I never had a partner until you Kurama. I never trusted until you gave me your trust. I never had a friend until you took me in and gave me friendship. I never knew what love was Kurama until you gave me yours. I never knew pain until you took that love away. I never knew loneliness until you left me. I am yours Kurama in every way possible. I think I knew I would be from the moment we met. I have been since the moment you claimed me, and will be until we cease to exist. I love you Kurama.”
Finally hearing the words he had dreamed of, Kurama’s lips descended on Hiei’s. When Kurama tried to slip his fingers up under Hiei’s hair, his scarf got in the way. Yanking it off, Kurama’s fingers caressed Hiei’s neck before sliding into his hair. Hiei’s lips parted wider and he moaned loudly into Kurama’s mouth. Liking the sound, Kurama’s fingers returned to Hiei’s neck. Almost instantly Hiei moaned again.
Suddenly feeling that the skin under his fingers wasn’t smooth, Kurama pulled away to have a look. Realizing what Kurama was about to see, Hiei turned his head to hide his blush. Seeing this made Kurama even more curious as he turned Hiei in his arms. Knowing it was futile to resist his fox, Hiei bowed his head as Kurama lifted his hair. What he saw there made him gasp, then grin with pride. “Hiei?”
The perfect outline of where Kurama had bitten him to remove the nymph’s seed was healed into a rough scar. Beneath it, curled across the back of Hiei’s neck was a beautiful tattoo of a fox. The fox’s head was turned and his teeth were bared as if he were protecting the mark. “I wanted to belong to you Kurama, even though I knew I could probably never have you. I had Yukina heal it to leave the scar, then I had the tattoo done when I returned to Makai.”
Leaning down to kiss the symbol of Hiei’s claim as his mate, Kurama whispered passionately. “Now we have each declared the other as our chosen mate and nothing will ever separate us again my precious Dragon.”
Hiei could only shiver and surrender as Kurama’s next kiss pushed him back on the bed. With Kurama looming over him, Hiei felt his clothes being stripped from his body. For three long years he had waited to feel Kurama’s hands touching him and feel his body inside of him. Now, finally his wait was over.
