The Betrayal

Disclaimer: I do not own YYH or its characters. I'm so sad....

Keiko came out onto the school's roof. She'd been looking for Yusuke, and this, the same as in Junior High, was always where he went to hide from teachers, and occasionally, from her. The scene that she walked into had her momentarily speechless. She gasped in shocked horror, the sound causing the two lovers to quickly scramble for their clothing that was strewn across the roof of the high school building. She could only gape in shock at seeing her promised husband in the arms of one of their most trusted friends.
"Yusuke... Botan? W-why?"

The question remained unanswered as both Spirit Detective and his assistant continued to divert their guilty faces from their now heartbroken friend. Both clutched their discarded clothing to themselves to hide their nudity as well as the evidence of their recent activity.
Keiko continued to stare for a moment longer through her tear impaired vision before whirling around and dashing madly for the door leading back inside the school, and more importantly, away from the place of the most ultimate betrayal.
Behind the fleeing girl, neither lover nor friend made a move to go after her.

~*~
Keiko ran from the school in tears, never seeing the teachers that tried to stop her. Her only thoughts were to get as far away as possible from the scene that flashed through her mind over and over again. The sight of Yusuke and Botan together was burned into her brain. 'The park!' A coherent thought came to her. The park had been her private retreat for years. She had a spot that she use to use for reflection, but this time . . .
Her eyes streaming tears, she collapsed at the base of the tree that she loved sitting under, sobbing.
Hiei woke to hearing an annoying noise beneath his tree branch. He looked down, unseen by Keiko, whom he realized was the one who had woken him up. 'Silly Ningen. What is she crying over?'
Keiko stopped sobbing long enough to look at her hands clasped up around her knees. Seeing the engagement ring glittering on her finger, she wrenched it off and threw it into the pond, crying out loudly, "Yusuke, how could you?!" She collapsed back into sobbing.
Hiei was growing concerned, he had assumed that this was some silly Ningen thing, but if Yusuke had done something to hurt her . . . He felt his blood start to boil, but figured that it would be safer to find out what exactly had happened before flying in uninformed. He decided to wait and see if she would say anything more.
She wordlessly sobbed for a while. She finally added, "I thought I was special to you, and then you go and-" She cried again, choking through her sobs, "And with Botan no less!"

Hiei was shocked, to put it mildly. He had never dreamed that the Detective would hurt her like this. She deserved more than that. He had only kept quiet because she was already claimed, but if the Detective was not going to remain faithful . . . He didn't want to startle her and so he flitted out to the entrance to the clearing and slowly walked over to her, sitting next to her.

"Keiko?" He asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
Though her mind was muddled with heart rending visions of betrayal, she was still able to register the dark voice that spoke to her. Slowly raising her head from where it had been pillowed in her propped arms, Keiko's moist eyes met a pair of fiery red ones that were staring at her in uncharacteristic concern.
"H-Hiei?" Her disbelief was evident. When had Hiei ever cared enough to ask her what was wrong? "I.... It's nothing." She finally stated, lowering her head once more. He couldn't care why she was crying. It just wasn't like him to care. Not for a 'silly ningen' like her.
Hiei knew that this wasn't nothing. He knew that he had to get her to talk about what happened. "Keiko, I heard you. It's not 'nothing.' Not when you throw away that trinket that marked you as Yusuke's." He hated to bring it up, but it was the one thing that he could admit to seeing without knowing the whole story.
Keiko stiffened at the mention of Yusuke's name. 'He really wants to know?' It seemed strange. Hiei would have been the last person she'd thought of to confess her troubles to. It still seemed strange, and yet, in a way, it felt right to confess all to him.
"Yusuke... and Botan," She managed to whisper both names before her voice began to tremble.

She stopped, taking a deep, calming breath while Hiei knelt beside her, waiting patiently. 'Why is he doing this?' The thought occurred. But then again, the simple fact that he was doing this seemed to allowed her the courage to finish speaking.

"I found them together, on top of the school's roof. They were...naked. And quite obviously not thinking about me." The last few words were muttered in a bitter tone.
Hiei felt his blood truly begin to boil over. She seemed to be caught between anger and tears. No one deserved that kind of betrayal. 'Either you're on a team or you're not. The Detective's made a grave mistake this time.' He would deal with the two of them later. Keiko needed attention first. He sat next to her, drawing an arm around her, silently offering her a shoulder if she felt the need to cry any more. This kind of betrayal hurt and Keiko was not emotionally tough as most of the team was.

"Cry yourself out, if you need to."
Keiko felt the urge to give in, to comply and accept the solid comfort he seemed to be offering. It was so tempting, but even as she did so, the phantom question from earlier rang out in her mind again.

And this time, she couldn't help but voice it aloud.

"Hiei.. why are you doing this?"
Hiei had never been good at expressing his emotions and she was demanding that he do exactly that. His mouth opened soundlessly and he was forced to close it again. 'How do I tell her? My feelings are too complex.'
He had cared for her for years, much like he had been with Yukina, though the feelings were different in nature, but the results were still similar. He silentuarduarded her and watched over her. But he couldn't say that, not yet. Instead, he gave her a version of the whole truth, but rather than trying to explain his complex emotions, he simplified it.

"Because I do care, Keiko." His voice never changed tone. "You had always been the Detective's and any other who felt anything never had a chance to tell you."

Her eyes searched his face briefly, seeking reassurance that his words were sincere. When it was clear that they were, amazement slowly began to replace the gorging pain of her betrayal, though her heart still felt fractured. She settled into his side, resting her head on his shoulder as she allowed herself to accept his partial embrace. His one arm stole around her waist and anchored her to his side firmly and she felt her hair ruffle slightly from his breath as he spoke, his lips against the crown of her head.
Hiei carefully sought the words that would let her finish letting the pain out. He pulled her head down to his shoulder. "Cry the pain out. I can smell your tears." He struggled with words, "Keeping pain like that inside is not good for anyone."
At his words, Keiko could feel herself crumbling. 'So much pain in his own voice, and yet he's comforting me?' Was the last coherent thought that ran through her head.

She let the tears flow and those that she had shed earlier was nothing compared to this. She had been holding back before by sheer will power boosted by her anger. But now... now her anger had melted away, as had her will power, and soon she was sobbing openly into the fire demon's cloaked shoulder, his hand rubbing soothing circles on her lower back as he waited patiently for her to cry herself out.
Hiei just let her cry herself out. She gradually settled into some hiccupping sobs that faded as she fell asleep against the shoulder that was now soaked from her tears. He gently laid her down under the tree, covering her in his cloak to make sure she did not get cold. His eyes narrowed as he thought of the Detective.

'I will give him one warning. We still are team mates, though he has lost my respect.' Hiei flitted away to hurry to Yusuke's school and get back, hopefully before Keiko woke up. 'We shall see what happens when I confront him.'
Hiei flitted up to the top of the school, easily avoiding the Ningen teachers and students. 'Hn, must be between classes.' He quickly found the spot where Yusuke and Botan were still sitting, now dressed. "Detective, how do you explain the fact that you just caused your fiancee to cry her eyes out?"
The stunned couple blinked at the sudden arrival and surprising question from the normally aloof fire demon. It wasn't long, however, before Yusuke's stunned expression turned defiant.
"Why do you care, anyway?" He spat angrily at the fire demon.
Hiei's stare turned intimidating. Yusuke, in turn, began to fidgit nervously.
"Look! It wasn't supposed to happen this way, okay?!"
Hiei just glared, "Then how was this supposed to happen, Detective?"
"Keiko wasn't supposed to find out this way!" This time it was Botan who spoke, "We were supposed to tell her..."
"Right! We were going to! But things kept popping up, and we got... a little carried away."
"I'd say more than a little."
"Yeah? Well, shut up. We're in love."
An eyebrow rose at this confession. "And what of your feelings for Keiko?"
"I don't know..." The Spirit Detective sighed as Botan put a comforting hand on his shoulder. He, in turn, placed a hand on top of hers and squeezed lightly. "When we were younger she was all I'd think of, you know? But then we grew up... and I started to see her as a woman. But she was still the only girl who would come within walking distance of me without running away. So she was still my friend, my only friend. And then..."
"....and then?" Hiei's patience was growing thin.
Yusuke ignored him, instead turning to stare at Botan lovingly, "And then, I met Botan."
Hiei glared at Yusuke, "You could not have told her this before you asked her to marry you?"
"No! I mean, yes, I mean-"
"And leave her for someone who truly does care about her?" Hiei cut him off with the coldest voice heard out of the small fireon, on, not wanting to hear the explanation on why the Detective had not told Keiko before asking her to marry him that he had lost his heart to another. He could feel the urge to kill them both rising up within himself and felt the black fire straining at the wards on his arm.
Yusuke and Botan just stared speechlessly at Hiei. The length of his words and his stance surprised them both.
Hiei glared at the two. It was either leave now, or kill both of them. He fixed them both with a 'do one thing wrong and you're dead' glare. "Detective, you already have your ferry girl, if you cannot be faithful to Keiko, then leave your former lover to someone who can." He quickly left, hoping that this hadn't taken to long and that Keiko was still asleep.

On his way out, he added, "You have one chance, Detective. Do not come near Keiko again."
After Hiei had left, Botan turned to Yusuke, a question burning its way from her mind to her lips.
"So, you think he knows he's in love with her?" Botan asked, her eyes widened in light of this newest development.
Yusuke shrugged, "I don't know. Hiei's a smart guy, though. If he doesn't already, then he'll figure it out soon enough. And so will Keiko."
~*~
Hiei hurried back to the glade where he left Keiko. He had hoped that she would still be asleep but what he first noticed was that she was sitting up and the air smelled faintly of blood. He rushed over to her side, seeing her cradling her hand. Absently he noticed that she had his cloak still wrapped around her. "Keiko, what happened?"
Keiko turned her head slightly, glancing at Hiei in embarrassment. "I hurt my hand." As Hiei caught the wounded limb in his own hand and brought it up to examine it, she continued hastily. "It's alright. It was stupid of me, really."
Hiei examined the wounds on Keiko's palm. "This looks rough, almost like tree bark. Please, tell me how you did this." He almost cringed at using the word please, but he wanted her to know what she meant to him. "And may I heal this?"
"Um..." Keiko was at a loss for words. For one, just the sound of Hiei using the word 'please' had threw her for a loop. Two, she was still embarrassed about the reason her hand was hurt in the first place. And three...
"What do you mean? How can you possibly heal my hand?" She asked, half out of curiosity, half out of an attempt to stall her embarrassing confession.
"Let me demonstrate." He brought her hand up to his mouth and licked one of the shallower wounds, which closed in front of her eyes. "You didn't answer me."
Keiko gave a soft gasp in surprise, brought on by both the sight of the wound actually healing as Hiei licked it, as well as by the actual sensation caused by said tongue as it glided over her finger.

"Uhh.." She cleared her throat, "I slapped a tree." She finally confessed.
Hiei lifted an eyebrow, looking at her in curiosity. "Why?" He healed another shallower cut on her hand.
By now an adorably rosy blush had erupted high on her cheekbones. "I just.. got mad... It was a stupid thing to do."
"Getting mad is a much better response than your tears earlier." Hiei replied, happy that she was over the grief. "All the same, what were you thinking of to slap a tree?"
Looking away as her blush intensified, Keiko finally gave in and gave Hiei his answer.
"I was mad at myself actually. I couldn't believe I was stupid enough to give myself to him. I mean, I thought he loved me... that I loved him... and now I realize that I shouldn't have. That I should have waited."
Hiei's eyes briefly closed as he absorbed this news. Yusuke's betrayal went deeper than he had imagined. His eyes opened and his eyes were softer. His heart was wracked with pain on her behalf. "Oh, itooshi, I hadn't imagined that he could have done that to you." He removed her finger from his mouth and looked at her, waiting for a response on his comment.
It was as he'd expected after the endearment he'd graced her with. Her eyes were widened larger than be and and her full lips were parted in shock. Hiei smirked at her, not being able to help himself as he once more brought her hand to his mouth.

With slow deliberation, Hiei drew a slender finger into the warmth of his mouth, applying slight pressure as he suckled the digit gently.
Keiko's mind tried to process what he'd said to hbut but between the comment and these unimaginable feelings that he was generating within her, she simply could not. She had never imagined that somethng so simple could feel so overwhelming. She brought her other hand to his cheek, softly cupping it as he suckled on her finger.
Hiei felt her hand come up to his cheek. He grazed his fangs slightly over the digit in his mouth, being careful not to break the skin. "So beautiful." He whispered as his mouth left her and his eyes landed on her full, opened lips. He leaned forward, drawing his mouth close to hers slowly, wanting ake ake sure that she would accept him. He afraafraid that her pain would leave her afraid to try to love again.
Keiko watched with heavily lidded eyes as Hiei leaned in towards her. She could feel herself leaning in as well, being drawn into those deep crimson eyes, usually so shielded, but now held openly viewed emotion.

"Let me love you, Keiko. Allow me to show you how it can truly be."

Those words, that plea, whispered huskily as his lips lightly brushed her own was Keiko's undoing. All doubt fled her mind and with a soft moan, she gave into the temptation of Hiei's kiss.
Hiei felt her return his whisper soft kiss, but was concerned that she had not answered him. He pulled back, she did not deserve to be used, agaiagain. "Keiko?" He asked, hoping that she would not need the rest of the question. He had already spoken more than he would have in a week, but then, he'd never had so much to say, either.
A small smile curved her lips and Keiko couldn't help but laugh lightly as she nodded. "Please do, Hiei. Show me... I want to know what it's like to be loved by you."
Hiei felt as if he had been given a precious gift. "Then come, I want to take you to a special spot. More privacy." He stood up, offering his hand to Keiko.
Her heart racing wildly, Keiko slipped her small hand into Hiei's slightly larger one, noting how warm and secure she felt now just being in his presence. Allowing him to draw her to her feet, Keiko gave a soft squeal of surprise when Hiei sweer uer up into his arms bridal style and leapt into the nearby tree. He picked up speed as he quickly flitted from treetop to treetop.

Hiei quickly flew outside of the city. There was a place that he liked to go to when he needed to be completely alone. He had never shown anyone this location, before now. It was at the base of a very tall oak tree. There was a knoll down at the base, just big enough for two with a little extra room. The moss grew deep and thick, providing an excellent cushion. He was glad that she was the same height as he was. The two would be just comfortable.

He gave a small, almost shy smile, silently asking her, "Do you like my spot?"
Her eyes grew bright with affection as she took in the secluded little haven that the elusive Hiei had deemed to share with her. The gesture touched her deeply and Keiko felt her heart swell a fraction more with the new feelings she was quickly developing for the silent fire demon.
"Oh yes, very much. It's beautiful, Hiei. Thank you for showing it to me." She smiled brightly, causing a slight blush to appear on Hiei's cheeks. It was an adorably amusing sight.
He was glad that she liked his spot. He was not used to expressing himself at all, and her response to him made him feel... different. He didn't know what the exact difference within him was, but he didn't want to figure it out right now. Right now, he just wanted to show Keiko how he felt.

He climbed in and held out his hand, saying softly, "Join me?"
Keiko complied without hesitation, taking Hiei's proffered hand and allowing him to draw her to his side upon the bed of moss. She settled herself beside him shyly, not exactly sure what to expect. This was something that she had never, in her entire life, pictured happen Esp Especially not with Hiei.
Hiei watched as she settled down beside him. He could tell that she was, while not uncertain, definately feeling trepidation. He wanted, no needed to take the uncertainty away. Lowering his head, he touched his lips softly to hers once again, graduaincrincreasing the pressure to encourage her to kiss bac back. She responded to him and he tentatively probed between her lips for entrance to her mouth, keeping it gentle. He felt like he could almost put a name to this emotion. As her lips parted for him, he claimed her mouth for his own.
Keiko sighed softly against the assault of Hiei's lips. His kiss felt entirely different from Yusuke's, much more intense and caused a fire to erupt within her body, making her pulse race. Yes, this was much different... better... than any kiss she had ever shared with Yusuke.
Quickly putting all thoughts of Yusuke aside, Keiko threw herself into the kiss, allowing Hiei the privilige of explore her mouth more thoroughly.
Her arms came up, slowly slipping around Hiei's neck, pulling him closer to her as her fingers slipped into the softness of his dark hair. She'd briefly wondered what it would feel like, as the way it seemed to defy gravity gave the impression that it would be stiff and soft at all.

'Looks can definitely be decieving...' was Keiko's idle thought before Hiei's arms wound tighter around her waist and pulled her fully onto his lap.
The feel of her throwing herself fully into the kiss and her softness in his lap were all contriving to drive him into a pleasurable haze. He claimed every inch of her mouth as her hands went to his hair. Leaving her mouth to trail a line of kisses on her throat, he softly nibbled the base of her neck as one of his hands came up to cup the back of her head.
Once lip lips had been released, there was nothing to help hold back the low moans that were escaping her throat. Keiko let her head fall back to be cradled by Hiei's hand, allowing him full access to the slender column of her neck. Her moans deepened as she felt him leisurely trail his tongue down the ridge of her windpipe before nipping her collarbone gently and then applying butterfly kisses back up to a sensitive earlobe.
Keiko whimpered as Hiei nuzzled her ear, his breath ruffling her hair as his hands slipped beneath her blouse and began to roam her back.
Hiei slipped his hand under her to fto feel her soft skin, hearing her whimpers as his fang just grazed her earlobe, being careful not to peirce the skin. Her shoulderblades were nicely defined underneath his fingertips as he lightly brushed them. He firmed his touch to her back, pressing her lush curves into the planes of his chest, feeling her softness give way to him. Drawing his hands up, he drew her shirt up over her head before returning his hands to her back, exploring her skin with just the barest pressure.
As Hiei's hands continued to wander over her back, Keiko's was doing some exploring of their own. She untangled her fingers from the thick mass of hair they had been buried in and brought her hands down to gently knead Hiei's forearms. She could feel the pectoral muscles jump at her touch and she smiled at knowing that her touch affected him as his did her. Deciding on taking a risk, Keiko drew back slightly, catching Hiei's wary look as she did so. He thought perhaps she was going to ask him to stop, but her next words surprised him in their boldness as well as their meaning.
"Touch me," She spoke in an almost pleading tone. "Please, Hiei... I want you to."
Hiei felt her hands starting to explore him and he felt a jolt from her pulling away from him. He briefly wondered if he'd gone too far, too fast. Her next words and actions reassured him as nothing else could. As she spoke in her pleading tone, she took his hand and placed it on her breast. He couldn't believe that she trusted him this much so quickly. Pulling his head back a moment to look into the honey brown depths of her eyes, searching, though for what he did not know. He was cg tog to understand what drove him, but he needed to know what drove her.

"Why?" He asked her, letting his emotions show in his eyes.
Keiko thought a moment, trying to come up with a to cto convey the feelings she felt into words that would assure the fire demon that she did indeed want this. That she was sure of what she was doing. She wasn't quite sure how to put it, so she said what was in her heart at that moment.
"Because it feels right? I'm not sure how to explain it exactly... it just.. feels like something that is meant to happen. I can feel it in here," Here she moved Hiei's hand that she had settled on her breast a little to the left so that it was now nestled over her heart.

Hiei could feel her heartbeat pick up and his eyes continued to hold her own as she continued to speak.
"I can't explain it, but it's there. Do you not feel it?"
Hiei searched her eyes carefully. He knew she was telling the truth as far as it went. She didn't know what she felt. She felt the connection that was between them and he felt it himself. He knew that his emotions were far stronger than they eve ever been and it confused him somewhat, but didn't let it bother him. He simply nodded and closed the gap between their lips once again. Starting to move his hand over that still covered flesh. He felt the richness of this and knew that they were creating something between them, he just didn't know what.
Keiko moaned, arching into his hand as it cupped her breast. Soon, his other hand came to rest on her other soft mound and together they proceeded massage the cloth covered flesh. After a moment, Hiei moved his hands around her torso, his fingers finding the little catch in the back that secured her bra. With a quick flick, the clasp released, allowing the wispyric ric to fall away, baring her breasts to his hungry gaze.
Hiei found that the clasps were not difficult to undo and finally revealed those ripe globes to his eyes. He just looked for a moment, before reverantly touching the bared flesh. He touched them softly caressing, causing the peaks to form hardened nubs. He laid her down on the soft moss, wanting to taste what his hands had just moulded. He bent over her and touched his mouth to the one, brushing it with his closed lips, feeling the softness, before opening his mouth to moisten the tip with his tongue.
The wet glide of his tongue against her bare breast had Keiko gasping in pleasure as the action sent her already burning blood racing throughout her veins. Her hands once again entangled in his hair, clutching him to her as she revelled in the feelings he was provoking. Her breath hitched when his other hand rose to her neglected mound, his fingers plucking and rolling the hardened nub between them.
Hiei latched more firmly on the bud in his mouth, feeling her hands tangle in his hair, as he did so, but wasn't concerned. He wanted so much more than this little taste of heaven. Her breast just perfectly fit in his hand and his mouth surrounded the pebble that he sucked deep into his mouth. He almost released the temptation from his mouth, but couldn't resist as he twirled his tongue around the tip. Before he completely abandoned the globe he barely grazed one of his fangs against the tender flesh being careful not to put any pressure down. He gave it a final lave with his tongue before moving to the other and repeating his actions. He looked up to gauge her reactions.

Her face was flushed prettily, eyes closed in pleasure. Dark lashes brushed her tinted, delicate cheekbones and her soft, full lips were parted slightly, temptingly. He watched as, slowly, her eyes drifted open after realizing that he'd stopped. She stared at him a moment, a look flitting through her gaze as she came to a decision. Before Hiei realized what she intended, Keiko's hands were at his top, removing the material from his body quickly. He felt her trail her hands across his chest, up and over his shoulders then down his arms, finally coming to rest on his forearms. He stiffened slightly when he felt her fingers begin to toy with the ward on his left arm.
Hiei fully cooperated with Keiko when she removed his shirt. He felt her starting to pluck at the wards on his forearm though and looked at her in a questioning manner.
Keiko looked at him, trying to put what she wanted into words. "I want your bare arms against me."
Hiei knew the danger if he complied to her unstated request. His attack did not only respond if he purposefully summoned it, it also responded to his emotions. It didn't necessarily attack, but there were other consequences should he give in. His emotions were so untamed at that moment.

"Are you certain? There are reasons why I never remove this ward. The results may not be controllable."
Keiko's eyes shone with trust, something deep within her telling her that nothing bad would come of this. She was not afraid. "Yes, I'm sure, Hiei. Please take it off."
Hiei studied her eyes, seeing the trust sitting there. 'She trusts me!'

He never thought he'd be able to claim that. He sat up and slowly started to unwind the ward. He normally had to tear it off, but Kurama wasn't around to help him make a new one just now, so this one had to remain in good shape so that he could replace it later. She'd have to wind it up on him later, but that could be done. He carefully placed the metal bands that held the wards in place as well as being other wards themselves on top of the bandages that had the runes written on them in a small pile to the side. It was an impressive amount of bandages when he was done.

He turned back to her, wardless, save for the covering on his Jagan, that he did not want to remove even at her request. The eye in his forehead could possess normal humans. The black dragon wound around his arm that looked like it could almost move on it's own already. The head started on the back of his hand and the body started at his wrist. His left arm was completely unmarked. He stayed there, turned toward her, waiting for her sign of acceptance.
Her acceptance came wordlessly as she reached up with a hand. Her fingers tentatively brushed against his arm, beginning at the dragon's head and tracing up the length of the body, almost as if she were petting it.
Hiei groaned as a powerful sensation erupted throughout his body. Her touch felt so good, it almost felt as if the dragon itself was reacting to her caress. Her fingers continued to trace the slender body that twined its way up Hiei's right arm until they had reached its end, then changed direction and made their way back down to his hand. She once again captured his hand with hers and used it to tug him to her as she leaned back into the mossy bed, drawing him down with her. Hiei followed willingly, covering her body with his own as his lips returned to hers.
Hiei once more covered her body with his. Feeling her skin against both arms and hands was an indescribable sensation anymore. He'd worn that for so many years that he'd forgotten what skin felt like against that sensitive arm. Her touch had been a true revelation. She wasn't scared of him. He had half the Makai scared of him, but she wasn't. He kissed her ravenously, trying to convey what he felt with this small freedom that she granted him with that single request. He could finally define what emotion she caused within him and it terrified him. He crushed her to him, never wanting to let her go.
His right hand came up and cupped her breast, feeling her without the cloth in the way. His bare chest pressed into hers. He inserted a still clothed leg between hers, causing her skirt to become taut around her thighs.
At the feel of the bind on her legs, Keiko began to squirm, shifting her hips in an attempt to lessen the restricting material. Her movements were successful as she felt the tension in the skirt loosen as it shifted higher upon her legs. Soon it was bunched up around her hips, revealing just a hint of white, cotton panties beneath the hem. She felt Hiei rise up as he broke their kiss and opened her eyes to see him staring down at her with a small smirk tugging at his lips.
Hiei held her eyes as his hand moved down, moving her skirt the rest of the way up to her hips, completely revealing the white that had been hinted at. He looked a question at her as his hand hovered over the elastic band that was now uncovered.
"I believe I recall you asking me to touch you earlier," He said teasingly, his fingers dipping down to barely caress the hem, "Do you still want that?"
A smirk similar to Hiei's crept onto Keiko's lips. With a sure grip, she took hold of his hovering hand and pressed down firmly. "Baka, what do you think?" she muttered, her tone just as teasing, if not more so, than his.
Hiei enjoyed this kind of play. He never knew that Keiko could play in this fashion. He wormed his fingers underneath the band that was there, stretching it to make room for the rest of his hand. Pulling the cottony covering aside, he revealed the expanse of her stomach and just peeking out, were those tempting curls that he so desperately needed to explore. He could feel his emotions strongly welling up within him and knew that if he didn't keep a check on them, that an irrevocable act would occur instead of just making love. He didn't want to do that, not without her consent. She had given her consent to the lovemaking, but not that. He paused, looking her in the eye.

"Keiko, my feelings are too strong to control, if all you want is a simple love session, then the time to decide is now."
She laughed, looking him straight in the eyes as she said, "I don't think things could ever be simple with you, so...." She gave him a playful half glare, "Of course, baka."
Hiei wasn't sure about this playful side of Keiko, but he knew that after this he would have a lifetime to get to know it intimately. "Very well." His emotions swelled with the first touch of his finger into the dampness hidden by curls and that white cotton that now rode very low on her hips. His right hand was tangled in her curls with a finger just dipping between the folds. His left hand came up to tilt her head to ravish her mouth again, his kisses turning hungry, no longer as gentle as they had been. He could feel the dragon that rode his arm start to break loose from the power just released by his emotions. A warm flame, but not the incindiary one that it normally was.
Amidst the pleasureable haze that Hiei's fingers were deftly working her into, Keiko was still able to sense the dragon as it awoke. There was a warm tingling sensation that was apart from the one that Hiei was causing. The two worked together to increase the wonderful feelings that were building up inside of her. Keiko moaned and clutched Hiei's shoulders before her left hand slid down to once again stroke the dark dragon tattoo.
Hiei knew that the tattoo would completely leave his arm and quickly at this rate, but for the time being, only the head had come loose. He delved his fingers deeper, parting the folds. He pushed his finger into the opening that he revealed, testing her softness. Another pulse and the first coil of the dragon came loose to join the head, moving up to caress her stomach and a lick of warmth higher. Hiei pulled back to complete the removal of the cotton as well as the skirt.
Keiko felt him begin to remove the last few pieces of clothing and lifted her hips accordingly. Once she was free of that, Hiei's hands trailed down her long legs to remove her shoes and socks, leaving her truly and completely bare to him. Before returning to her arms, he finished removing his pants and boots as well. Now there were no barriers holding them back from each other and Hiei immediately took advantage of the fact, drawing her back fully against him for another heated kiss.
Hiei groaned at the first touch of Keiko's fully unclad body against his. He could not describe it, not fully. He was far from inexperienced himself, but emotions added a depth that he had never imagined. Their heights matched each other perfectly, pressing his hardness against her softness. His body pressed, her body yeilded. He plundered her mouth as he soon planned to plunder her depths.
The black dragon had worked its way completely loose at this point and was freely writhing and twining between them and around them, a warm tongue of flame that did not burn. It seemed to kiss the skin wherever it touched and enhance the feelings of the moment. It curled around sensitive areas before moving on, wrapping them in its shadowy coils as Hiei's kisses began to stray down the length of Keiko's body.
He laved her slender throat with open mouthed kisses, teasingly nipping at the tender skin before trailing down to her breasts, tenderly nuzzling his face in the valley between them. He raised up slightly, shifting to twirl his tongue around each tip briefly. Keiko's fingers threaded through his hair, stroking and petting him as he continued his journey south across her concave stomach. Tasting the creamy skin, he simply relished the sensations overwhelming him, spurred on by the seemingly approving nature of his dragon as it continued to writhe and wrap itself around them in an almost docile act of affection.

'How did she, a mere ningen, manage to tame one of the most feared beings in all of Makai?' He wasn't sure if he was referring to the dragon or himself with that question, but the meaning was unmistakable.
After an eternity, it seemed, he finally reached her core. His hands quickly moved to lift her hips to his mouth as he began to sample the sweet flavor that dripped freely from her body. Keiko gasped as his tongue invaded her more intimately than any of his previous kisses and her fingers tightened in his hair even more, clutching him to her as she felt the heat within her intensifying into an inferno which threatened to consume her, body and soul.
Keiko was caught on the brink of sheer ecstacy, the combined pleasure of both Hiei's and the Kokuryuha's intimate kisses serving to drive her mad with want. She shifted beneath him impatiently, wanting... no, needing him to fill the empty void she felt in both her heart and body. Grasping his shoulders, Keiko began to tug urgently, drawing Hiei's attention to her face, though he never ceased in his oral worshipping of her. His red eyes met her gaze, two pools of molten lava scorching her with the intensity of emotion held within them.
"I want you," She panted, tugging at him again, "Please, Hiei, I want you inside of me..."
Hiei responded to the tug by giving one last kiss to her core and then surged up her body, claiming her lips in a kiss that almost burned. He knew that her body was ready for his and held her eyes as he slowly entered her, feeling her hot wetness clench around him as he claimed her body. When he finally was seated to the hilt the dragon twining around them gave a cry, it seemed of approval. He pulled almost all the way out, again, agonizingly slow, studying her responses. He loved watching her face as the different emotions played across her beautiful features. He pushed back in, keeping his same slow pace. He reached down with his now bare right arm and caressed her breast just as he seated himself to the hilt, this time holding the position for a moment.
Keiko responded with a deep moan, her legs coming up to wrap around his middle, anchoring herself to him as he began to rock in a steady rhythm while still buried within her. She too began to rock, matching his movements, joining him as they both strived to reach that ever fulfilling horizon of completion that beckoned to them seductively. The coils of the dragon tightened on them, not painfully so, but in a possessive way that heightened both of their awareness of its presence. Keiko threw her head back as a keening cry of ecstacy.
Hiei's eyes burned as he felt her contractions around him, but he didn't want to finish this quite yet. He pulled out before positioning her on her hands and knees before him, placing his hands next to hers and kneeling behind her. She seemed a little unsure about the positioning, but was not making any signs of protest. He entered her again, thrusting slowly, but with more force. The dragon loosened as it took in this new position, then eagerly wrapped its whole length around the two right arms, growing warmer, but not uncomfortably so.
Keiko's moans of pleasure grew louder as this position seemed to allow deeper penetration than before. She clenched her fists into the soft bed of moss below her as she rocked back against Hiei, falling into a rhythm that proved most satisfactory for both lovers. The dragon continued to twine around their right arms, but neither seemed to notice as they both strove to reach their final climax.
Hiei could feel her inner walls beginning to clench spasmically and knew she was close. Using his left hand, as his right was still entangled with Keiko's and the dragon, he brought his fingers to the juncture of her thighs, momentarily feeling where their bodies joined before sliding up to flick the bundle of nerves that was sure to send Keiko over the edge into total fulfillment.
Keiko jolted as volts of electrical sensation spread throughout her body, radiating from where Hiei touched her. Unable to stand it any longer, Keiko tossed her head, back arching as she screamed out Hiei's name at the same time Hiei moaned hers as he obediently followed her into blissful oblivion. As they reached their climax, the dragon swirling around their right arms seemed to convulse as it wrapped even tighter around their limbs, its entire body squirming and coiling until it began to evaporate into a dark, shadowy mist that seemed to absorb into their skin.

The couple collapsed onto their sides, exhausted, curling up on the plush greenery that served as bedding. Hiei pulled Keiko close so that her back pressed against his chest, his arms wrapped securely around her while her own hands clutched possessively at his forearms. He nuzzled lazily into her hair before glancing down to look at Keiko's arm.
Hiei wasn't sure what he would find. He saw the expected dragon back on his right arm, riding it from the back of his hand all the way up his arm, almost to his shoulder. He had not expected hers. Keiko now had a smaller dragon, riding from just on her wrist, twining around her forearm and ending at her elbow. He gasped, then clasped her even closer as realization hit him.

'My mate!' Hiei thought, softly landing a kiss on Keiko's shoulder.

He hadn't been sure what was going to happen, but he was glad that he had done as Keiko requested. He felt the drain on his youki and knew that it was their bond forming. Keiko was now tied to him irrevocably. No one else could claim her, or him, for that matter. He wondered if she would ever be able to use his attack, then decided that all questions could be put aside as he let his eyes close.
~*~
Keiko's eyelids fluttered open, revealing her soft brown eyes, shining luminously in the afterglow of her previous activities. She shifted, trying to get rid of a particular tree root that was digging into her hip. As she rolled over, her eyes lit on the sleeping demon who had brought her so much pleasure. 'Why couldn't I have waited? He obviously did.' She thought in self-disgust. He slept so quietly. She raised her right arm to brush a few hairs out of his eyes when her eyes lit on her tatoo that matched his, only shorter.
Eyes wide in wonder, Keiko looked down at the arm of the sleeping demon beside her, trying to process what she was seeing. Bringing her left hand over slowly, she began to touch the black marking that now stood out in glaring contrast to her light skin. Her mouth was hanging slightly open in astonishment.

'How did...' She wondered, but her thought was interrupted by a sudden movement beside her. Startled, she emitted a little squeak, her eyes darting back over to find a rousing Hiei.
Hiei stirred from his slumber as he felt Keiko moving beside him. He looked at his new mate, seeing her look of wonder, and knew that she had noticed the smaller dragon riding her arm. He smiled at her, curiously bereft of anger. "How do you feel?"
"Hiei," Her voice was soft, a near whisper as she spoke, "I have a dragon like you now?" She asked, gazing searchingly into his eyes, silently begging for an explanation.
"Keiko," He replied just as quietly as she had asked, "It appears that you do. I warned you that my emotions were too strong without the wards. It remains to be seen whether or not you can use the dragon." He felt their bond coming into existance even as they spoke together. "It is your mating mark."
"My mating mark..." Keiko breathed, gazing down as her left hand moved once again, this time caressing the mark on her arm almost lovingly. When she turned her gaze back to Hiei, her eyes were shimmering with a dewy wetness that the fire demon recognized all too well.
Hiei viewed the expression on her face, despair welling within him as the tears began to fall. 'Why is she crying?' He wondered, not quite panicked, but not quite calm either. 'Did she not want to mate with me?!' Hiei didn't know what he would do if she rejected him. He was tied to her and she to him in an irrevocable bond already.

"Keiko... what is wrong?" He asked hesitantly, not quite sure he wanted to hear her rejection of him, yet at the same time, needing to hear her final words.
Keiko noticed his tenseness and knew he'd gotten the wrong impression from her tears. In attempt to soothe his unease, she offered up a bright smile through her tears, a soft laugh escaping her.
"Nothing, Hiei. Nothing is wrong. I'm just so happy is all." She confessed before launching herself into the relieved demon's embrace.
'Crying because she's happy?' Hiei thought as he caught Keiko in his arms. 'I really will never understand her, but I love her anyway.' How had she wrapped herself around his heart like this? "Then you accept our mating?" He knew the answer, but he needed to hear her actually say it to him.
He felt her nod against his chest, her muffled voice answering him happily. "Yes, of course I accept!"

And just to emphasize her point, Keiko drew back and pulled her new mate into a deep, heart felt kiss. Hiei gladly returned his new mate's kiss. He wondered if telepathy was part of their bond, as he was telepathic. ~I love you, Keiko.~ He sent to her, hoping she would receive it. He was so much free-er in his thoughts than he was with verbal words. He pulled back and waited wordlessly to see if she responded.
For a moment she said nothing, simply staring up at him in an almost disbelieving way. Then finally, the disbelief melted away to be replaced by one of overwhelming happiness that it nearly took his breath away. "I love you, too, Hiei." She stated, clearly having heard his mental declaration.

Hiei could not get rid of his smile. His cynism was still there, but happiness overrode everything else that he normally felt. "Thank you, Keiko." He shed one lone tear in happiness and finally understood how she could cry earlier. It hardened into a black tear-gem, which he caught and gave to her. "You will never know how much you mean to me."

Keiko smiled. "Maybe not, but I'll have the rest of my life to find out." She looked down as she felt him press something into her hand, and gasped at the precious gem he'd given her. Her gaze rose back to his questioningly, "What is this?" She asked, unsure of the small stone's origin, only knowing that it was beautiful.
Hiei looked back at her, still happy, but knowing that he would have to explain a few things to her. "That is a Hiraseki stone. I am half koorime and half fire appartion. When shed, my tears become gems."
"Like Yukina?" Keiko stared in interest down at the stone.
"Hn," He replied in the affirmative. "Keiko, there is something you must know." He waited until Keiko returned her gaze to him be coe continuing. "You are my mate now, and due to our bond, you will now age the same as I. I do not know what other changes may occur, but this is certain."

Keiko's eyes widened at this revelation. She quickly digested the news then asked another question. "Is there any particular reason why it's black?"

Hiei nodded, looking down at the gem resting in her palm. "Due to my mixed heritage, I have a tarnished Hiraseki stone. They are priceless and each one created should go the one who caused it to be shed as an embodiment of their emotions." Here, Hiei ducked his head slightly as he continued, "This gem was shed in love, for you."
Keiko felt her heart skip a beat at Hiei's tender words. It could have been a very surreal moment if she had taken the time to think about it. But at that moment, all Keiko could think of was how much his confession made her deliriously happy and she wanted nothing more than to kiss those lips that had said such sweet words.

So she did.
Hiei willingly kissed her back, holding her to him. He had never thought to have this woman in his arms like this. He had kept his emotions under such a tight reign when it came to her that he was now overwhelmed by the force of them. He felt his manhood stirring again and broke the kiss with a ruefull laugh, "Keiko, if we stay here, I will not be able to hold back making love to you again." He looked his question at her.

~What does my mate want to do?~
A small smirk, a mischevious gleam in soft brown eyes and a sudden spike in female arousal were Hiei's only clues to Keiko's intentions before she had bodily taken him back down into the soft mossy bedding, kissing him deeply as her hands began to wander....
Hiei woke up for the second time that afternoon to the feeling of his mate curled up against his side. This time he had woken up first while she still slept. He remembered with deep satisfaction how her dragon and his had both come to life and almost seemed to twine around each other in the same fashion that he and Keiko had done. He softly kissed her temple, waking her.
Keiko's eyes fluttered open la, fo, focusing on Hiei's face. The sight of him smiling a true smile was definitely something to behold, and Keiko found herself momentarily speechless in the face of it. Finally recovering her voice, Keiko smiled sweetly as she snuggled even closer to her demon lover. "So... what do we do now?"
"Now, we must first get you a ward." Hiei's eyes went to her right arm. "I do not know if you noticed or not, but yours came to life, much as mine did." He grabbed his wards from where he had placed them. "Can you help me?"
Keiko nodded, reaching for the warding strip and proceeded to wrap Hiei's arm, effectively binding the dark dragon which rode it. Once finished, Keiko looked up at him expectantly.
Hiei looked down at his bandaged arm. He nodded at her, his eyes showing tenderness. "Thank you, my mate, it is well done."
Keiko felt a shiver of excitement run down her spine at Hiei's approving words. She smiled happily as they both helped each other to get dressed. Once they were fully clothed again, Keiko turned to him.
"Where are we going to get a ward for my arm?" She asked, a bit curious.
Hiei looked at Keiko. "The same place I got mine. Kurama."
"Okay," Keiko said, waiting on Hiei. She had no idea where they were after all. She gave a gleeful squeal when Hiei picked her up as he had before and quickly bounded off in the direction of the red headed kitsune's house.
