InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Kisses: Mistletoe or No ❯ Chocolate ( Chapter 6 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
**DISCLAIMER: I love "InuYasha" and "Yu Yu Hakusho," but I do not own or profit from writing fanfiction using their characters or worlds because I didn't create them. Give all the love and credit to Takahashi-san and Togashi-san. And chocolate. Lots of honmei chocolate.


"Chocolate"


As Kurama walked along with Hiei, he hid a smile as he glanced at the scowl on the other man's face. "If you don't want to go with her, you could have said no. She would have met up with you in the Reikai later."

"And let her go see them, to give them chocolate, all by herself?" the apparition scoffed. "That would like be like handing her over to them on a platter. Any one of them could take a notion to take off with her and try to keep her. You know what happened last year."

"Well, to be fair, from what she said, she didn't explain the tradition very well to Prince Kouga and he thought she was proposing," the avatar pointed out.

"Exactly. And this year, now that Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha have come to an agreement as brothers, in the past, she is taking some for him, too. If he misunderstands her gesture, I might have a little trouble retrieving her from him," Hiei grumbled.

Kurama chuckled a bit. "Don't take this the wrong way, Hiei, but I don't think she's Lord Sesshoumaru's type."

Hiei glared up at him. "Don't be ridiculous. She's everyone's type. Anyone with half a brain would jump at the chance to snatch her up. And they frequently do."

Kurama couldn't dispute that, especially considering just two weeks ago, while they were in the Reikai meeting with Koenma, the Greek god Eros had been visiting and tried to take her home with him. He covered his mouth and coughed to hide another smile. It irked Hiei no end that the woman he had fallen in love with, -- or chosen, as Hiei would say, -- was so friendly and popular. If he had his way, he'd probably just lock her up in a tower somewhere and keep her all to himself. The little fire demon didn't like to share. And he had been grumbling about Valentine's Day for the past week. He didn't like the idea of her giving chocolate to other males.

The avatar suspected the only reason he was tolerating it at all was because last year she had made him a huge chocolate heart and he said she had a real talent for chocolate-making. He was expecting even more this year, since they had recently passed the courtship phase and become lovers. They would already be mated, but her mother had asked them to wait until Spring to have a wedding at the shrine at the most auspicious time and Kagome thought it would be meaningful to do the youkai bonding after they wed in the ningen tradition. Hiei had surprised him by agreeing to wait. That showed just how far gone the little demon really was.

When they reached the shrine, Kagome greeted them brightly. "Are you coming with us, Kurama?"

"No, he isn't," Hiei answered. "There will be no confusion as to who you belong to."

Kagome giggled and patted his cheek. "My, aren't you grumpy? Are you sure you wouldn't rather get some sleep while I go to the Feudal Era? You all were gone all night after those lizards, weren't you?"

"Hn. Not that it matters, since you were here last night, visiting your mother. And you are not going there by yourself."

"I think I will go say hello to your mother, Kagome," Kurama excused himself with a smile. "I'll see you in the Reikai this afternoon."

"Okay," she waved as she grabbed Hiei's hand and pulled him over to the well house. There were two bags sitting at the door there. It looked like Hiei would be busy shuttling her all over Feudal Japan.
---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------


It was mid-afternoon before Hiei and Kagome walked into Koenma's office. The other Spirit Detectives were all there, and Kagome went up to each one and presented him with a box of giri choco with a sincere "thank you," while Hiei frowned at all of them.

"That's a big sack you have there, Kagome. Do you have more chocolates to deliver?" Kuwabara asked.

"Oh, yes! I need to go into the Makai now. There's Chuu, Rinku, Jin, Touya, Shishi, Yomi, and then of course, Inuyasha, Shippou, Kouga, ..."

"Onna! What the hell are you talking about? We just spent all morning delivering chocolate to those bastards!"

"But, Hiei, that was 500 years ago," she said earnestly.

Yusuke and Kuwabara burst out laughing while Hiei just stared disbelievingly at her. "You should get going then. It sounds like you will be busy all afternoon," Kurama couldn't resist saying.

As the couple stepped through a portal, they all heard Hiei hiss, "There had better be a damn big chocolate heart back at our house when we get home."
---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------


That evening, when they finally got back, Kagome handed Hiei a package.

"What is this?"

"A gift. Happy Valentine's Day, Hiei," she said as she kissed his cheek.

He opened it and found a new set of bedsheets. They were red. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to say, so he said the first thing that came to mind, "Where is my chocolate, onna?"

She kissed him again lightly and headed into the bedroom. "I didn't make you a chocolate heart this year."

He stared after her. He had spent the whole day taking her all over Japan, both past and present, including the demon and spirit planes, to deliver chocolate to a bunch of slobbering idiots who would just as soon bash his head in and steal his onna, and she didn't make him any chocolate?!!?

"What do you mean you didn't make me any chocolate?" He stomped into the bedroom after her.

"Oh, I made chocolate, -- I just didn't make a chocolate heart," she smiled.

In their room, she was sitting on their bed, already naked, dipping a finger into a bowl that was sitting over a large candle. There were three big bowls in all, -- all being kept warm by candles. Licking her finger, she said, "You should have seen Keiko's face when I asked her to come over and get the chocolate out of the refrigerator and set it up in here in time for it to warm up and melt before we got back."

With a gleam in his eyes, he asked, "Is that all of it?"

"There are three more bowls sitting out on the counter."

"Good."
-------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

< br> The next day, Botan and the other detectives came by bright and early to bring them with them to the Reikai. Koenma had a new assignment he wanted them to get started on right away. As they stepped through the portal into Koenma's office, Yusuke was teasing Kurama about all of the honmei choco the avatar had received the day before. "Of course, it doesn't compare to the honmei choco Kagome made for Hiei," he grinned wickedly.

Kurama raised a brow at him curiously as he saw Kagome's cheeks turn bright red. "I know Hiei was looking forward to some of her chocolate. Apparently, you have a real talent for making it, Kagome. Do you put something special in it?"

"Yes, she does," Hiei answered him with a smirk.
---------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------End.


I could have added more, but I thought that was as sweet a place to stop as any. ^_^
I know it's not much, but I just couldn't let Valentine's Day pass without some Hiei/Kag goodness. And because I love you all, if my son finishes his report in a couple of hours and I get the computer back, I'm hoping to actually get the next chapter of "BWM" (chapter 14) up sometime tonight. I wish you much love and chocolate!
