The scent of incense hung heavily in the air, bringing a slight smile to Kagome's face while she continued to work on her latest project. A little bird had told her about a certain apparition's upcoming birthday, and she'd wanted to do something special for him, but for the longest time she'd drawn a blank. What did you get for a man who could get almost anything that he wanted? In the end, the answer had been almost deceptively simple and she'd wanted to kick herself for not thinking of it sooner. Of course, it had taken Yukina to give her the basic idea but once she had it she'd taken off running with it.

'I doubt this is quite what she meant, but that's okay. He'll never see it coming and in the end we'll both get what we want.'

Anticipation ran high and she couldn't wait to put her plan into motion, but there were certain preparations that had to be finished first. It would do no good if he were to arrive before she was ready and she wasn't about to let all this work go to waste. Quickly she turned her attention to the two small boxes that were laid out in front of her, their contents already securely in place.

Before she could seal them however, she needed to pen a couple of notes that would accompany the gifts and lead the apparition to her. There was no hesitation, nor any uncertainty about what she was going to be doing when she picked up the pen and began to write on the small pieces of stationary that she'd set aside. Each note contained a single question, one that she had no doubts would be easily answered when he realized what each gift implied.

Giggling softly, she laid the notes on top of his gifts and then sealed each box carefully. There was no point in decorating them with fancy ribbons, especially knowing how short his patience tended to be when dealing with trivial things, such as with birthday presents. Now all that remained was to finish setting the stage and then wait for the arrival of the people who would help make her plans come to fruition.

'I'm sure that when they see what I've done they're going to ask questions, but I don't think they'll have a problem with helping me.'

Either way, it was far too late to even contemplate that option since both Kurama and Yusuke were due to arrive in less than ten minutes. She'd called them on their cell phones earlier in the day and asked them to come over. Of course, they had asked what was going on when she'd requested their help, but they easily accepted her answer when she told them it was for Hiei's birthday. 'That's probably because they're facing the same problems that I was in figuring out what to give him. Too bad what I'm giving him won't work for them.'

Quickly she set the boxes aside and proceeded to hurry about the living room. Fortunately for her sanity, the furniture had been easy enough to arrange by herself and now there was ample space for the games that she hoped the night would bring. A small fortune in velvet pillows had been spread around the room and she'd taken the liberty of placing sheer silk drapes around the room as well. Combined with the candles that had been positioned around the room, it made for a seductive atmosphere, one that begged for his darker side to come out to play.

She already had a small tray of finger foods prepared with things that she knew that he'd like. Small pieces of fruit had been artfully arranged and a bottle of chilled wine awaited his arrival. All that remained was to change into something... more comfortable, but that would have to wait until after her guests had come and gone. 'Speaking of Kurama and Yusuke...'

Seconds later the doorbell rang and a smile crossed her face, 'It figures they're here a little early, I have no doubt they're curious to find out just what is going on since he always seems to know everything before anyone else.'

When she opened the door, she nearly laughed at their expressions. Kurama's was pure curiosity, along with speculation and she just knew he was wondering if there was a way that he could use her idea to come up with one of his own. Yusuke's however, had just a touch of impatience there, most likely because he probably thought that she was going to ask him to deliver something foolish, like chocolates. He always had said she needed to get over her fear and just tell the apparition she wanted to jump him. 'It figures that Yusuke would be the one to figure out that we liked each other before we even knew it.'

That, however, was a question to ponder over another time. She had enough to deal with now, like seducing an apparition and letting him have his wicked way with her. Quickly she stepped to the side, “I'm so glad that the two of you could come. Why don't you come in, I'm sure you have questions.”

“I'll say,” Yusuke said after stepping inside and seeing just what she'd done to the place, “If I didn't know better, I'd say you're planning to get lucky tonight, Kags. What do you need us here for?”

“Let's just say I'm tired of beating around the bush with him and this is the perfect time to lay it on the line. But I'll need your help to lure him here,” she said with a wink. She'd always known that Yusuke was smarter than he let on a lot of the time, and it didn't surprise her that he'd already figured it out.

“Heh, that's one hell of a birthday present if you ask me. You know... my birthday is coming up in a couple of months too,” he said and gave her a playful look. While he wasn't serious, it got him the reaction he was hoping for when she flushed a rather interesting shade of pink and his smirk widened.

“I'll be sure to remind Keiko when the time comes then,” Kagome said, pretending that he hadn't just hit on her. Instead she walked up to table that she'd left the boxes on and picked them both up. “These are what I called you for. I need you to get these to Hiei for me since I obviously can't leave the house and ruin the surprise. I just need to be sure that your box gets to him first, Kurama.”

Kurama accepted his package and gave her a curious look, “Am I to assume that these are clues to lead him here then?”

He had to give it to her, she'd definitely come up with an interesting idea and he was positive that Hiei would be... appreciative of her efforts. He'd known that it was only a matter of time before one of them made the first move. In fact, he and Yusuke had money riding on it and by the looks of it, he'd just earned himself some quick cash.

“Right, it wouldn't be any fun if I just handed him a card that said come here for a good time,” she replied with an embarrassed grin, “I figure that you could keep him there long enough to open the box, Kurama, and then let him know that Yusuke has the second one.”

Hearing this, Yusuke couldn't help but laugh. The girl definitely knew how to get what she wanted, and he was positive that the apparition was going to give it too her good. This was one instance where he definitely envied his teammate. Quickly he took the second box, and shook it lightly, but it didn't give him any clues as to what was inside. Sighing slightly, he turned his attention back to the miko, “So then he'll haul ass to find me. And you're wanting me to tell him what? Get his ass to you if he wants his last present?”

“Assuming you need to say anything when he sees what I've put inside? Yes,” Kagome replied, although she was fairly certain that the apparition wouldn't need any prodding at all. If he did, then she'd most likely completely misjudged his interest, along with everyone else. But somehow, she didn't think that would be the case. She'd seen the looks of longing and she knew it was the whole “defiling someone pure” thing that was holding him back. Well, she was about to put a stop to that particular way of thinking.

Sighing lightly, Kurama looked to both Yusuke and Kagome before asking one final question, “And how do you know that he won't come here before we locate him?”

While he had no problem helping the woman out, Hiei was rather unpredictable and there was a chance that this would be doing nothing but wasting their time. Not to mention how upset Kagome might be if the surprise she'd set up so carefully ended up ruined.

“Simple. Today is his birthday, so you know he's probably off somewhere brooding. I wouldn't have even made the connection if Yukina hadn't said something about her birthday coming up,” Kagome said matter of factly. Given what had happened to him all those years ago, she knew he'd likely seek his solitude and in fact, she'd debated whether she should even plan something for this day. However, Yukina helped her to realize that unless he was given a reason to look at the day in a different light, things would never change for him.

Yusuke stared at her incredulously for several long seconds, “Wait, Hiei told you about Yukina being his sister?” Somehow he just couldn't see the apparition doing such a thing, even if he liked the miko. Hell, if it hadn't been for Koenma giving him the tape, even he wouldn't know. The hybrid would have been more than happy to keep everyone in the dark, the rest of the team included, so why would he tell her of all people?

Giggling slightly, Kagome shook her head, “No, Yukina told me. It's not as big of a secret as what he'd like to think. Right now, I'm guessing that Kazuma is the only one that's still in the dark.”

“I certainly hope that you weren't the one that told her, Kagome. Hiei would be most displeased to find out if you were the one who revealed the secret he's been jealously guarding,” Kurama said, his voice clouded with concern. Somehow, he doubted that mutual attraction would be enough to spare the miko from Hiei's wrath if he were to find out.

The question had Kagome blinking in surprise before she rolled her eyes, “Give me more credit than that, Kurama. Yukina's not as stupid as everyone likes to think she is. If you haven't noticed, they look alike and she does know what a mirror is. And as far as Hiei finding out she knows, that's not going to happen until he finally gets the nerve to tell her. Until then, she'll just wait and give him the space he needs.”

While she could understand their concern, it was completely unnecessary and sooner or later they were going to have to accept the fact that Yukina was a big girl. And she wanted her brother at her side more than anything else. 'If only Hiei would give her that as a birthday present, but I don't see it happening.'

“He's going to lose his shit if he finds out,” Yusuke said with a sigh, “Well, at least none of us will be in the line of fire.” And that, in his opinion was all to the good. There was no telling just how the apparition would take it and he really didn't want to be there when he did. 'He'll be convinced one of us said something. Hopefully Yukina can convince him otherwise, or we're all going to be toast.'

“Until it happens, I'm not going to worry about it,” Kagome said, dismissing the issue all together. She hadn't called them there to discuss the apparition's family issues after all. What she really wanted to do was get the ball rolling on her plans for the night. “So do you think it'll be easy for you to find him, Kurama?”

“It shouldn't be terribly difficult since I doubt he'll return to the Makai today. Even though this isn't a day of joy, he'd still have a wish to remain close to the only family that he has,” Kurama said, contemplating just where the apparition could be lurking. The forest around Genkai's temple was the most likely, yet at the same time he wasn't sure that was the right place either. Hiei had a complex mind and was difficult to predict. While he might wish to remain near Yukina, there was an equally likely chance he'd put a bit of distance between himself and his sister.

Kagome nodded slightly, it made sense to her and she trusted in Kurama's abilities to track Hiei down. If anyone could find him, it would be the kitsune. Clasping her hands together, she smiled at the two of them, “Well, if you'd be so kinda as to deliver his... presents, I would be eternally grateful. I really should finish getting ready since he'll be here soon.”

Yusuke allowed himself to be shown to the door, but stopped just before he stepped out onto the porch, “Before we go, you wanna give us a peek at what you're going to be wearing?”

“Ha, no. If you want to see skimpy clothing, go talk to your girlfriend,” Kagome said with a laugh and shooed the Toushin out the door with Kurama. “And.. Thanks guys, I wouldn't be able to pull this off without your help.”

“You're welcome, Kagome, just... be careful,” Kurama said, giving her a slight smile before he stepped off with Yusuke in tow. While he didn't know just what she had in mind exactly, he was pretty sure that he knew how Hiei would react and if he was right, the woman had better be prepared for the consequences of her actions.

Kagome watched them go until they reached the sidewalk and then she closed the door. Most likely it would take the redhead some time to find Hiei, but she didn't want to be caught unaware if he showed up a bit early. So without wasting any time, she walked towards the bathroom so she could shower and then change into more suitable attire. Hopefully by the time that she was finished, she wouldn't have that long of a wait until Hiei arrived.

(Later That Day )

It was a little over an hour later when Kurama finally picked up the apparition's trail and his eyes lit up in satisfaction. Had Hiei not wished to be found, nothing short of a miracle would have led him to the right path. Carefully he moved forward, stepping lightly so that his prey wasn't alerted to his presence. It wasn't often that he managed to get the drop on his former teammate, so he was going to utilize the opportunity to its fullest. However, before he got much further he came to the edge of a glade and he resisted the urge to snort. 'Somehow it doesn't surprise me that he would train in an effort to distract himself from what today is. Let us see if we can help him out slightly.'

“You're a very hard man to find, Hiei, I was beginning to wonder if I was going to find you,” Kurama said, finally stepping from behind a tree. Now that he was here, he was looking forward to seeing what Hiei's reaction was.

Slowly Hiei moved out of the crouch he'd landed in and sheathed his sword before staring at the kitsune with a raised brow, “Did you ever stop to think that there might be a reason for that? Why are you here?”

“I'm here because Kagome asked me to be,” he replied, eying the apparition carefully while fingering the small box that resided in his pocket. There would be no hiding the fact that she knew this was his birthday, but he could deflect it like she'd just put two and two together, rather than revealing the truth. “Or rather, she asked me to give you something.”

Instantly Hiei's curiosity was aroused, along with his suspicions. Any news from the miko was welcome, even though he wouldn't admit it even under the threat of death. However, he knew that she was aware of his interest, even if he hadn't acted upon it yet, and he knew that it was returned.

When the kitsune didn't seem to be forthcoming with any more information, he finally decided to ask,“Why? What could she possibly want me to have?”

“It's a birthday present, Hiei. I couldn't tell you what is in it, but she seemed rather insistent that I give it to you personally,” Kurama replied and pulled the box out of his pocket. Within seconds it had been taken, but as of yet the apparition had made no move to open it.

“I'm afraid you came out here for nothing then, it is not my birthday,” Hiei said, his voice completely flat and devoid of any emotion. The lie passed easily from his lips since it had become second nature to deceive people when it came to Yukina. Yet he still didn't release his grip on the small box in his hand, because it had come from the woman he was interested in. The question that echoed through his mind though was how did she find out?

“A convenient lie, but a lie none the less. Perhaps you should open your gift, she seemed to have put a lot of thought into it,” Kurama said, gently insisting that the apparition take some form of action. He'd almost been expecting the denial, so he was far from disappointed when it was spoken.

The frown on Hiei's face deepened when he heard the smugness enter Kurama's voice and he needed to know the truth, “How did she figure it out?”

“Like me, she put two and two together the last time she saw you and Yukina together,” he replied slowly, “You two look an awful lot alike you know?”

“Are you sure that one of you didn't tell her something?” Hiei bit out, completely unconvinced that was the truth. Things were rarely black and white when it came to Kurama and he wouldn't put it past the man to lie, especially if he were the responsible party.

“I'm certain Hiei, none of us said a word. As for how Kagome knew it was your birthday, apparently Yukina was speaking of her own and naturally, our dear miko immediately grasped the implications of what that meant. Again, don't you wish to see what she got you?” Kurama asked, neatly sidestepping the issue of how the priestess knew things that she shouldn't.

“I'll open it in my own time, Kurama,” Hiei said after a moment and then pointedly looked at the kitsune in a clear dismissal. The explanation he'd been given seemed probable enough, so he wasn't going to storm down to the woman's house and demand to know the truth. However the next time he saw her, he intended to make it quite clear that it was his decision alone in if Yukina ever learned the truth.

But Kurama wasn't about to be sent off just like that, and he remained standing in place like he hadn't even noticed that the apparition all but told him to get lost. Instead, he gave the hybrid a knowing smile and shoved his hands back in his pockets, “I have to admit, I'm quite curious as to what Kagome gave you, aren't you the least bit curious?”

“You're testing my patience, Kurama,” he replied and narrowed his eyes at the redhead. Something told him it wasn't just idle curiosity that kept him there. It was something more, and he was sure that the kitsune wouldn't leave until he'd drawn this out for as long as he could.

Easily Kurama shrugged, as if the subtle warning wasn't anything to be concerned about. It seemed to be time to dangle a bit of information in front of Hiei and see if it was enough for the man to rise to the bait.

“My apologies, Hiei. I suppose I could leave, but then I wouldn't be doing my task properly. After all, Kagome specifically stated that I wasn't allowed to leave until I let you know where the next gift was,” he said, trailing off and watched the apparition as he tried to figure out just what he wasn't being told. “And before you go rushing off, I assure you, it isn't at her place so you'll want to save yourself a fruitless journey.”

A low growl of impatience spilled from Hiei's chest and he was seriously considering the possibility of using the Jagan against the kitsune to remove the information he needed. However, there was the possibility that Kurama would be immune to the eye's influence. After all, he hadn't been able to use it against Yusuke and there was no telling if that failure would be repeated against the redhead.

After mulling over his options for a second, he realized that his choices were rather limited if he wanted the second gift the miko had picked for him. Using the jagan was out, but there was nothing saying he couldn't use physical persuasion. However, that particular option would take far too much time and he had no interest in fighting Kurama at the moment anyway. So that left opening the box and satisfying the kitsune's curiosity.

Finally he made the decision to get it over with and he pulled the lid off of the top of the box. Immediately the smell of Kagome's perfume drifted up and he reached in to remove the small handkerchief. While he enjoyed the scent, the meaning of the gift was far from clear and he frowned in his confusion. “What the hell is that woman thinking?”

“Interesting,” Kurama murmured before kneeling down to pick up the discarded box top. Ordinarily he wouldn't have bothered with such a thing, but a small slip of paper had slipped out at the same time it had been opened and fallen to the ground. “Perhaps this will hold some answers?”

“It'd better,” Hiei said, muttering beneath his breath while he took the note from the kitsune's hand. Quickly he opened it, figuring that the miko had to have some reason of sending him such an unusual gift. However when his gaze landed upon the words, he blinked in surprise.

Wanting to see just what had stunned the apparition, Kurama peered down at the note as well and nearly laughed when he read what it said out loud, “Does this turn you on?”

Grinning wickedly, he turned his attention back to the fire demon, “My, my, I'd say that Kagome might be trying to tell you something. If you want to find out for sure though, I'd go looking for Yusuke. He's got your second... gift.”

The information pulled Hiei out of his surprised state and he couldn't resist bringing the handkerchief up to smell it again. He had to admit, at least to himself, that he'd always thought she smelled nice. A slow smirk spread across his face when he noticed faint traces of another scent there and it was tempting to abandon this little treasure hunt she was sending him on, just to find the prize at the end.

However, he had enough patience to play her game for now, provided that she wasn't going to have him running across the countryside seeking out more clues. Before he left though, he fixed the fox with a curious look, “Is there anything else I should know before I leave, Kurama?”

Chuckling darkly, Kurama shook his head, “No, Hiei. Find Yusuke and from there you'll know where to go. I'll only say, happy hunting. I think you'll enjoy this little chase.”

Nodding once, Hiei sprung away and began his hunt for the Toushin. Most likely the man was somewhere in the city, given his dislike for trees or anything to do with nature. That was probably the reason why Kurama had found him first, because knowing Yusuke it would have taken him days to stumble upon the right trail.

While he ran, he wondered just what could possibly be in the second box. Knowing Kagome, it wouldn't anything terribly obvious, especially if she was expecting someone else to deliver it. There was no telling what hell Yusuke would give her for anything particularly suggestive. In the end, he really couldn't decide on what to expect. He'd be forced to wait until he found the man and opened it.

When he hit the outskirts of the city, he paused long enough to utilize the Jagan. Just because he couldn't read the Toushin's mind didn't mean that he couldn't pinpoint that bright spark of power. Now that he had his target acquired, there was no way that Yusuke was going to escape him. Quickly he put on speed and raced off into the shadows, determined to reach the man with a minimum of trouble.

It wasn't long before the Detective's movements began to change and Hiei allowed a smirk to cross his face. Clearly Yusuke had sensed him nearby and was coming to him instead of forcing him to continue the chase. 'Good, it means this foolishness will be over soon and we can get down to business.'

Once he was in the Toushin's immediate vicinity, he dropped down to the ground, heedless of the masses of people who happened to be watching. There were several startled gasps from people who hadn't been expecting him to appear from out of nowhere, but he ignored them all.

“I heard that you have something for me, Detective,” he said at last, getting straight to the point.

“And here I thought you might have come all this way just to see me,” Yusuke said dramatically before casting his gaze upwards, “I'm crushed, really I am.”

“Spare me the theatrics and just give me the box,” Hiei said dryly, not giving into the Toushin's failed attempt at melodrama. While he normally didn't mind the man's sarcastic sense of humor, this was one of the few times that he really didn't want to have to deal with it.

But Yusuke wasn't done playing with him yet. It hadn't been all that long since he'd left Kagome's house and he wanted to buy her a few extra minutes in case she needed them. So he gave the apparition a look of mild confusion, “All kidding aside, Hiei, what are you talking about? Who said I had a box for you?”

“Your attempts at humor are proving to be lacking, Yusuke. I already spoke to Kurama and he gave me the first one,” he said and crossed his arms. He didn't give a damn that people were staring at them oddly, or that they were blocking the sidewalk. He wasn't moving until the Toushin gave him what he wanted.

Absentmindedly Yusuke scratched his head, pretending to consider the question, “Kurama, huh? You sure he wasn't just yankin' your chain? Hey! What was in the box he had, anyway?”

“A note saying that Kagome would give me permission to gut you, if you didn't give me the second box,” Hiei said with a wicked grin. There was no way in hell Kagome would have told this idiot what was in the boxes, especially given how surprised Kurama had been when he'd read the note as well.

Immediately Yusuke paled and shoved a hand in his pocket, “Dammit, she would write something like that, wouldn't she?”

Quickly he passed the box over to the apparition, although his scowl of disappointment had yet to fade. He'd been hoping to play just a bit longer, especially since Hiei always seemed to have a stick up his ass. Unless of course he happened to be killing something anyway, then he was as happy as a clam. “Hurry up and open it, will you?”

“I'm assuming that you have my next destination in mind,” Hiei responded dryly, making no move to open the box yet. When the Toushin just gave him a grin he sighed, it would figure that he'd be forced to jump through yet another hoop in order to get to the bottom of this puzzle. This time when he pulled the top of the box off, he was careful not to allow any potential letters to slip out.

As expected, there was a small note inside, but he ignored it when he saw what lay underneath. His lips twitched and he didn't bother to repress the dark chuckle that escaped him when he pulled his “gift” out so that he could examine it more thoroughly.

“Damn,” Yusuke said, a touch of awe in his voice, “I didn't know she had it in her.”

The gift was a rather skimpy thong made of blue lace, something that he'd never once thought that Kagome might dare to wear. Apparently by the look on Hiei's face, he'd at least pictured it though because his expression had become rather heated. The miko was in for one hell of a time tonight, that was for sure. “So... what's the note say?”

Quickly Hiei peeked at the note, although this time he was careful not to reveal the contents and his eyes widened by what he saw. 'I was wearing these earlier, but I had to take them off when I started thinking of you. Tell me, are you turned on now?' When it looked like Yusuke was about to try to look anyway, he refolded the note, “It's none of your damned business. Tell me where I'm going next and be quick about it.”

“Tch, I thought it would be obvious by now, but if you can't figure it out, you don't deserve all the trouble she's went through for you,” Yusuke said and walked away, not bothering to worry about the potential reaction that the apparition might have.

In Hiei's mind, the answer could only mean one thing, and that was for him to find Kagome herself. That suited him just fine since he was tired of waiting for the game to end. It had certainly been interesting though, and he couldn't wait to see just what Kagome had in mind for when he arrived.

It was pointless to say goodbye to the Toushin, especially since he'd already taken his leave and all it would do was waste precious time. Before he set off he pocketed the flimsy panties and then began to roughly push through the crowd. However it didn't take long for him to get fed up with the humans and he started to look for the quickest way out of the mass of humanity. An opening appeared moments later and he took it, leaping to a roof top. From there he used the Jagan to locate the miko, her pure energy shining like a beacon. “Got you.”

Somehow it wasn't surprising that she was at home, but then again she was rather unpredictable at times. She could have just as easily picked out a nice hotel room to give him his present. Either way, he was going to take his time unwrapping it when he got there.

In the next instant he'd disappeared, running against the wind. It did little to cool his blood, but he was well beyond the point where anything but satisfying his carnal desires would do any good. He'd held himself back from touching her for far too long, determined that if anything was going to come of their attraction, it would be because she'd made the first move. Well, despite all his beliefs to the contrary, she'd done what he refused to and set things in motion. Now he'd show the miko exactly how much he desired her, how much he longed to possess her. There were so many fantasies that he'd built up around this woman, and he intended on fulfilling each and every one of them.

The lengthening shadows told him just how late it was getting, but that was of no matter as well. Since the woman lived alone, there would be nothing to prevent him from staying as long as he wished. There would be no interruptions, no family to interfere with her choice of a lover.

Knowing he was closing in on his prey, he allowed his energy to flare, alerting anyone with the slightest amount of spiritual energy to know that he was coming. There was no way in hell that the miko could miss it either, and this would definitely keep any lower class demons well away. No one in their right mind would challenge him in this state, not when he was so close to claiming the woman for his own. To do so would be certain death, and he would show them no mercy if they were to be so foolish.

But for once, thoughts of death weren't the foremost thing in his mind. Instead someone far more sensuous had taken their place and he was loath to let those thoughts slip away. So instead he concentrated on what he was about to do. Now that the house was in sight, he slowed in his headlong dash to his goal. When he dropped to the sidewalk, his boots echoed heavily on the concrete and he began the last leg of his journey.

Cautiously he advanced, stalking his prey. He could feel her lurking in the house, just beyond the doorway, waiting for him to step through and claim his prize. 'Who am I to turn down such an inviting challenge?'

The feeling of anticipation continued to build, the tension soaring to even greater heights when his hand touched the door knob and he slowly pushed the door open. Stepping through, he was enveloped in the dim light of the room and he inhaled the sweet fragrance of Sandalwood that permeated the air. But the scent quickly faded away when he saw the miko advancing upon him and hungrily he licked his lips.

Delectable was the best word to describe her at that point, and the way she wore the skimpy, silk wrapping was positively sinful. In his wildest dreams he'd never pictured her in such an outfit, and now he was glad. His surprise just kept getting better and better, and he couldn't wait to see what she came up with next. “Kagome...”

“Master,” Kagome purred, immediately falling into the role of harem girl, just as she'd planned. Her walk was one of pure sensuality as she approached him, “you must be tired from the day's journey. Come and allow me to serve you... in any way you desire.”

“And what if I say I want to bend you over and take you where you stand,” he said, growling in response. The woman was definitely playing with fire, not that he was complaining. He was going to take great pleasure in stripping that decadent outfit from her body.

A slight smile touched Kagome's lips and her eyes sparkled in response, “If that is what you desire... but wouldn't you like to see what pleasures I offer up for your indulgence, first?”

The response was immediate and he moved impossibly close to her. However, she wasn't done playing with him yet, so she leaned in just enough to brush a teasing kiss against his lips before pulling away. Gently she took his hand and began to lead him deeper into the room. “Come with me, and I'll see to your every need tonight.”

“You're full of surprises, aren't you,” he murmured, staring into her eyes as he did so. Even though his attention was focused on her, he still noticed the changes to the room that she'd done just for him. One thing for sure, when she decided to do something she didn't hold back.

Curiously he waited to see just what she'd planned for him first, and he raised a brow in surprise when she began to strip the cloak off his shoulders. The material slid off easily, and she carelessly tossed it over to the small couch where it would be forgotten until much later.

She wasn't exactly surprised when she found him to be bare chested underneath. That was one of the many things that she liked about him and she took her time in exploring his body with her hands now. Slowly she slid them along the planes of his chest, leaning in to press another soft kiss to his lips.

It was hell on his self control when her lips brushed his, and before he knew it, his arms had encircled her waist, effectively pinning her in place. Easily she surrendered to his embrace, and he took his time in taking possession of her mouth. It became apparent that for all her brazenness earlier, she still wasn't experienced and he couldn't rush things. When she all but melted in his arms, he released her and took a step back, “A taste of what will happen later, if you please me.”

Breathing heavily, Kagome nodded and tried to gather her thoughts. She'd wondered just what he would do once she offered herself to him, and he'd completely taken her off guard by falling into his role so easily. She'd almost expected him to follow through with his threat and take her hard against the wall. This was definitely uncharted territory and the possibilities were thrilling.

“Then allow me to continue, Master,” she whispered and dropped gracefully to her knees. Immediately she could tell that the change in position pleased him and “Then allow me to continue, Master,” she whispered and dropped gracefully to her knees. Immediately she could tell that the change in position pleased him as she took his hand and led him over to the silk covered pallet that she had prepared for him. A bottle of wine rested in a bucket of ice and fresh fruit waited alongside, refreshments that would be suitable for anyone of high rank returning home. Demurely Kagome stepped to the foot of the pallet and knelt there, waiting while Hiei stretched out in comfort. From some hidden location soft music played creating an atmosphere of sensuality and intimacy. Small vials of perfumed oils sat near to hand and once he was comfortably settled so opened the one closest to hand. At the arched eyebrow in her direction she offered a simple explanation. “I know my Master must be tired from his long journey. Will you allow me the pleasure of touching you; to sooth away the tension that I can feel each time my fingers caress your body?”

`I hope she knows what she's letting herself in for because she's carrying this thing much to far to turn back now.' Hiei leaned back and watched her through narrowly closed eyes, enjoying to way the sheer silk cast playful shadows over her skin. He wasn't sure if she meant for the outfit to reveal as much as it did at this point but the candle light had the effect of making the clothing disappear. He could see the suppleness of her body as she moved, her rounded curves exposed to his view and yet hidden at the same time. The overall effect was incredibly arousing to him, combined with her natural body scent it made for an intoxicating combination.

Inside she was shaking with nervousness. `I hope he doesn't decide that I'm too inexperienced and not what he wants.' The thread of doubt tried to wind it's way into her thoughts but she resolutely pushed it back as she removed the stopper from the vial of sandlewood. Smiling softly to herself she moved to Hiei's side, “I've warmed this oil for you, Master. It's just the right temperature to bring comfort to your sore muscles and relieve the stress of the day”. Pouring a small amount of oil into her palms she brought her hands up to begin massaging the hard muscled chest of the fire apparition. Although he probably didn't know it, she'd gained a lot of experience in knowing just how to work her hands back when she was on the girl's track team in high school; and she planned on utilizing that knowledge to the fullest.

Hearing a sigh of pleasure as she worked out a particularly tight knot, it encouraged her further and Kagome carefully climbed up to straddle his waist so she could better reach the areas she was aching with curiosity to explore.

For a moment Hiei lay there surprised, wondering if Kagome realized how close she was to sitting on his cock. If she stayed in her current location it would only be a matter of seconds before she found herself impaled on his shaft, whether she was ready to move past the teasing stage or not. The idea was so very appealing, and Hiei allowed a smirk to cross his face then. It only took a slight shift in position, making it impossible to tell whether it was an accident or not; and in the end, Kagome ended up sitting right where he wanted her to be. Now there was no reason for him to not take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself to him and he ran his fingers slowly along the edge of her panties. It was then that his eyes widened slightly with the realization that they were crotchless. There was no suppressing the groan in his chest when she rocked against him, driving home the point at it wasn't silk that his member was touching, but heated skin.

'Let's see how he likes this.' In one of her books that she'd read about harem life Kagome had come across a routine called “The dance of the veils” and the book had said that it was supposed to drive men wild with desire and lust. Sitting astride the man's member when the dance was performed wasn't something that the book had mentioned, but at this point she was willing to see if it would work just as well. As she rocked gently from side to side, teasing Hiei but not allowing him entrance to her body, she coyly reached up and unfastened a scarf of silk from her outfit. There was a gleam of mischief in her eyes while she ran it over his body; stopping only to wrap it loosely around his wrist. The look of desire in his eyes spurred her onwards and she reached out to pick up another scrap of silk before repeating the process.

For a moment Hiei wondered exactly what she had planned. The bindings were loose and it would be child's play to slip out of them, but he didn't want to ruin her plan just yet. However, he'd never pegged her for the bondage type. In the end he supposed that it didn't really matter, not when she was gyrating so sinfully on his cock. Desire guided her every movement and he wanted to see more. He wanted to strip that flimsy garment off of her and delve into the treasure that she was offering to him.

However when he reached for the thin silk bodice that was covering her breasts, he found that she'd done her job well and his reach extended only so far. He could tell that the little minx knew it too by the smirk that teased at the corners of her lips.

To his way of thinking, the miko was the embodiment of pure seduction, sitting astride him and in complete control. Every movement was graceful and enticing as she swayed back and forth, coating his member with the proof of her desire. Nor was her expression one of brazenness; instead it was coy but at the same time belied her inexperience. The candlelight hid the faint traces of her blush and her eyes lowered demurely, avoiding eye contact as she leaned forward, lowering herself until her breasts lingered just out of reach of Hiei's dry lips.

Once again he tried to move his hands and found that her body was still well out of reach. Clearly she was taking great delight in teasing him and he sought to catch her eye, needing to see the desire that lurked in those smoky blue depths. It was then that the thought occurred to him that she'd made herself off limits to him and it only made him want her all the more for it. Understanding dawned in his eyes then, realizing the game that was being played; and while he wouldn't ruin her fun at pretending to be under her complete control, it didn't mean that he couldn't have some fun of his own while he was at it.

Oblivious to his thoughts, Kagome giggled and slowly pulled another piece of silk off of her bodice. This was entirely too much fun and she was hoping that before the night was out that Hiei would want her as badly as she'd been wanting him. `Maybe it's time to up the stakes a little.'

A plan quickly formed in her mind and she allowed a knowing grin to cross her face. One of the things she knew about him was that with the jagan, the apparition was a master at reading minds and she was sure that she could use that to her advantage. How hard would he take her when she allowed him to see the fantasies she'd had with him? The thought was enough to make her lick her lips in anticipation and her movements were confident as she flipped away the piece of silk that she had been holding in her hand. If he was wondering what she had planned, he wouldn't be waiting for long, Coyly she leaned forward, allowing her breasts to brush against his toned chest while she carefully reached up and removed the ward from his forehead.

“What do you think you're doing, woman,” Hiei hissed through gritted teeth, trying to clear his head long enough to stop her from making a foolish mistake. The jagan was nothing to trifle with, and here she was staring into it looking like a cat that just got into the cream.

Silently it regarded her as she did the same in return, willing with all her soul that Hiei would come to understand how much she desired from him and how much of her hopes for the future she had pinned on him as well. There was no violet light, no sign that Hiei was using his powers, and for a moment Kagome feared that perhaps she had misjudged her attempt to use this as a method of communicating her desires. But she forced that fear back and concentrated on what she was about to do.

“Oh... nothing,” she said with a teasing lilt to her voice, “I was just thinking... you might like to know what I've been thinking; the fantasies I've had about you; see the way that you take me over and over and over again.” She knew that he had his interest by the way the jagan began to glow faintly and she allowed her eyes to close.

Immediately the jagan showed him her innermost thoughts and desires; revealing the image of her sprawled on her back with her legs draped over his shoulders while he drove into her. It was arousing, watching just how she wanted to be taken and he could see that she liked it rough, no, embraced the idea of him taking complete possession and control of her body. Also there, but buried deeper still was the burning question to know if demons take their lovers in the same way that humans did; or if there was some difference, some mystery that had yet to be revealed. It added to the allure and mystery of taking him for a lover, but it had also become something of an obsession to learn the answer to.

Almost in a trance now, and not wanting to break the connection that brought her in such close intimate contact with the demon of her dreams Kagome shifted her position until she was in full body contact wit the demon laying beneath her. Gone was the idea of the game she had planned and now all she wanted was to be taken by this strong viral male who embodied everything that she found attractive. Seductively she rubbed body against his, knowing on an instinctive level that he would understand what she needed and that she wouldn't be left wanting. The answer she received was almost immediate, slamming into her with an intensity that left her breathless.

Hiei smirked then, knowing that he alone was the cause for the lust he'd inspired in the miko. No longer was he concerned with the thought of the jagan being unwarded, not when he could use it to his full advantage. Before she could regain her bearings, he allowed the eye to convey his own desire to her, allowing her to feel the sheer force of the pleasure that she was bringing to him with every roll of her hips.

Driven now by the insatiable needs of her body, Kagome slowly crawled forward over the still bound fire apparition, clearly intent on removing the silken scarves that were holding his wrists immobile. Only once he was free from the entanglements would she be able to satisfy this driving primal urge that was now controlling her every movement. As she moved over him she could feel the way he was lazily dragging his tongue over her bare skin, sampling what he could reach of her flesh. Warms shivers raced down her spine and her body trembled with need as his tongue danced along her skin, caressing her and bringing her body alive in ways that it had never known. Hurrying now to release him, Kagome finally got into a position where she could free his hands and stilled when she felt that slick, insistent tongue begin probing her depths.

“Hiei,” she whimpered, her fingers stilling on the silken bonds around his wrists, one knot pulled free. Nor did she have any desire to move, not when his lips were busy suckling on her sensitive flesh.

There was no doubt in Hiei's mind that he had her now, and she'd eagerly do anything that he demanded of her so long as he continued to tease her clit as he was doing now. The movement had taken her completely off guard, causing her to cry out and her back to arch. 'That's it, show me how much you like it, Miko.'

The way her hips bucked, forcing her dripping sex harder against his mouth had him reaching up with his free hand to hold her hip and guide her movements. There was no denying that she was lost in the sea of pleasure as his tongue worked her over, teasing that sensitive flesh over and over until she was sure that she would shatter into a million pieces. Frantically she gripped at his hair, needing an anchor to hold onto, yet still the pleasurable torture continued, driving her further and further into the throes of passion. Abruptly the tension snapped and she came, crying out his name.

Yet still he wasn't ready to release her, not when he wasn't finished tasting her. Insistently he probed her with his tongue and tasting her sweetness. Only when he was sure that she had no more to offer did he release her, allowing her to take some of the pressure of her of legs. It took only moments for him to shred through the remaining scarf that held him in place and he eagerly took his freedom.

The sound of movement had Kagome looking up and the predatory look in the apparition's eyes told her that playtime was over. Abruptly she found herself on her back with her soon to be lover looming over her, one clawed finger tracing over the curve of her breast. “Was there something you wanted, Master?”

“As a matter of fact, yes. I hope you're not attached to this outfit,” he whispered lowly before the slow sound of tearing fabric filled the air. Now her breasts were finally exposed to his view and he liked what he saw. Slowly he ran his fingertips over the sensitive peaks before rolling them between his fingers. This was what he knew she wanted, to be treated as his possession, to be dominated. In the end, he'd give her exactly what she wanted. Quickly he leaned forward and took one of the small pebbles between his teeth, grazing it gently. The gasp of combined pleasure and pain had him pinching it's twin causing her to arch beneath him and he knew if he were to feel between her thighs she would once again be slick with desire.

The scent of her arousal called to him, making his shaft ache almost unbearably and he was tired of waiting. There would be plenty of time for exploring her body later, but for now he wanted to sate his lusts on her, to punish her with his cock for making him wait so long. Roughly he forced her legs apart with one knee and he gave a heated glare at he material that was still in his way. Though the panties gave him as much access as he could want, they were still a nuisance and he shredded them from her body, leaving her bare almost nude. All that remained was the gauzy skirt that left nothing to the imagination.

“Take me,” she growled, knowing that she was only moments away from having her fantasies fulfilled. Once he rested back on his knees, she could see the way his cock stood proudly away from his body, hot and heavy with the need to be sheathed inside her. The question was, how would he take her?

The answer came swiftly when he grabbed her ankles and forced her legs up, pinning them to her chest. Now she was completely immobile and prime for the taking. She waited breathlessly when he grabbed his shaft and began running the tip along her slick folds. That was the only warning she got before the apparition flexed his hips and impaled her on his cock, burying it to the hilt. To her relief there was no discomfort, no pain; only the fullness that came with taking a lover. Not even her fingers had begun to compare and she found herself hoping that he wouldn't hold back.

The jagan picking up on that thought was what finally snapped his control and Hiei began to ride her hard, his hips snapping hard, forcibly driving their flesh together. It was exquisite, feeling her wrapped around his cock like they were made for each other and he found himself torn between heaven and hell with the need to come warring with the desire to make this last as long as possible.

Patience won out, at least for now and he slowed his maddening pace long enough to allow the miko to relax her legs slightly. Only then did he spread them out to the sides so that he could watch his cock slip slowly in and out of her body, the shaft glistening with the proof of her desire. She was so hot, so needy, that he wondered why the hell he'd waited so long to make her his. From this day forward there would be no holding back, no secretive looks of longing. Convention be damned, if he wanted her then no one would be able to stop him.

Possessiveness welled up within him at the mere thought of someone attempted to stand in his way. Everyone would know who she belonged to, who she gave herself willingly to. With a growl he thrust into her hard, causing her to cry out his name. The added friction was quickly driving over the edge again and before long her tight passage clamped down on his cock like a vise.

“That's it, come for me. Show me you know who you belong to,” he growled out, quickening his pace. He wasn't going to be able to hold out much longer, but he wanted to feel her tight body pulsing on his, giving over to the pleasure that only he could bring her. And when she finally gave herself over, reaching that peak she'd been striving for, she called out his name letting the world know that she had given herself over to her demon lover.

Now there was no holding back, no stopping his own release while she trembled beneath him. He threw his head back, giving a primal growl as he came, depositing his seed deep within her body. Finally spent, he slumped over her to catch his breath.

They were both hot, slick with sweat but neither made any move to pull away. Instead Kagome threaded her fingers through his hair, stroking it gently. This had been everything she'd hoped for and then some. Now she could only hope that he'd indulge her and stay for a while since it was so rare that she truly got to have him all to herself.

A slight smirk touched Hiei's lips when he realized what she was thinking, and he shifted to the side to make himself comfortable. He had no intentions of moving anytime soon, unless of course it was to explore some of the other secret fantasies that she'd been hiding.

(Outside)

“Damn, I gotta hand it to her; she sure as hell knew what it would take to catch his interest, didn't she?” Yusuke asked Kurama after they'd ventured far enough away from the miko's house so that they wouldn't risk being caught. He could only imagine the pain that the two lovebirds would have put them through if only they'd known that they'd had two silent watchers.

“Kagome has always been rather resourceful, so this shouldn't have come as any surprise. However, I'm rather shocked that Hiei didn't notice us when she removed the ward over the jagan,” Kurama replied, giving a reproachful look to his companion. While he wasn't above sneaking around, gathering information and spying on people if it served a purpose, he'd been hesitant about actually following through with Yusuke's idea to spy on them.

With a grin, Yusuke shrugged, “As you saw, there was nothing to worry about. If he had seen us then I'd have to wonder if he knew how to use his dick. What man would be worried about who might be watching when they have a hot chick spread out on the floor and begging to be fucked?”

“Still, it was a dangerous risk to take. I daresay it'd be unwise to attempt to do so again. Next time, we may not be so lucky,” he said quietly, although he had to admit that it was a rather dismal thought. The hybrid had managed to grab onto something special and he had no doubts that Hiei would find subtle ways to remind him of what he couldn't have.

“And I say you have no sense of adventure. You might be right though, Hiei might try to gouge our eyes out with that sword of his,” Yusuke replied thoughtfully. It was regrettable that the apparition was so damned possessive, he could easily come to enjoy those little free shows. “Hell, maybe you're right. Maybe I can bribe my favorite thief into installing a hidden video camera in her bedroom. You know he's gonna be attached to her ass like velcro now. Hell, who wouldn't be with a body like that?”

Quietly Kurama sighed and shook his head, knowing that once Yusuke got an idea in his head he'd never get rid of it. Of course, it wasn't a half bad idea, not that he'd ever admit it out loud. A secretive smile briefly crossed his face while he contemplated how hard it would be, but it was gone moments later and presented an impassable front to the Toushin. After all, who said he wanted to share those secret videos after all the trouble he would be going through to acquire them. “You're impossible, Yusuke.”

The End.
