"The Mating"

Disclaimer: If I owned the show, the plot would have definately been more twisted. Just borrowing the characters.

AN: This chapter is otherwise known as the second part of ch. 18. Yes, I know this was a very quick update for me, but what can I say? Anyway, I love the comments, and questions. Rabidfangirl101, thanks for the comments on that last chapter, I tried really hard and still can't quite believe that I wrote it, but what can I say. Morwen re, glad you're enjoying it too. I'll try to hurry and post the next chappies, but for now, I'll be seeing you. My muse lets me go for very short times.

Chapter 19- Surprising news

Shizuru looked at Hiei. She still had not slept, too occupied thinking about everything. She had learned more of his past then she she ever expected to in such a short time. He truly wanted her to accept him, the good, the bad and the ugly. The moon was now high overhead.

Hiei started rolling his head back and forth, then sitting bolt upright with a cry, gasping for air. "Yukina!"

"Bad dream?" Shizuru asked.

Hiei just nodded and removed his ward covering his Jagan, searching and reassuring himself that his sister was okay. He just chuckled. "That was quick."

Shizuru just asked, "Okay, what are you blathering about?"

"I do not blather." Hiei felt some amusement at her phrasing. Then answered her. "My sister and your brother have mated."

"Way to go baby brother. That had to be a case of the blind leading the blind." Shizuru commented.

Hiei dropped his voice. "She's pregnant."

"That quick?" Shizuru blinked.

Hiei nodded. "Koorime are almost too fertile for their own good." he commented dryly, "If not already pregnant when they make love, they are when they are done. She'll have to ask Kurama for some kind of birth control, though she should be safe for the next eight months."

"I thought pregnancy lasted nine?" Shizuru asked.

"With humans, yes. Yukina is currently carrying twins, one has mostly human energy and one is almost pure koorime, similar to the mix that Yukina and I are. A koorime gestation period lasts six months, a human one is nine, hence it will last somewhere between seven and eight months."

"This is just too wierd for the middle of the night, Hiei." Shizuru told him. "I'm already trying to process information that I have never dreamed of."

"Is that why you could not sleep?" Hiei asked.

Shizuru nodded. "I don't know, maybe I'm overanalyzing everything and our siblings have it right. It'd be a first, I'll say one thing."

Hiei agreed with her. "So what do we do now?" He met her eyes, pleased to note that there was no fear present at all. "What do you want, Shizuru? My wishes are unchanged."

Shizuru took a puff on the cigarette she was holding. Blowing out smoke, she asked, "Do you have any clue just how much confusion you caused? My thoughts are completely scattered. I had a terrible time trying to get back to sleep last night when you woke me up and my thoughts have not stopped spinning since."

Hiei dropped his gaze. "I am sorry. I shall leave you in peace." He stood up and made as if to leave, only to be halted by Shizuru grabbing his hand.

Shizuru emphatically said, "Wait just a minute!" She pulled him around to face her, not quite sure of why she did so. "Who said you could leave? My thoughts may be spinning, but this has been the first truly peaceful night I've ever had since my dad died."

Hiei just looked at her. "Is that what you were dreaming of last night?" He quietly asked her.

Shizuru closed her eyes and nodded, breathing shakily. "I have the same dream every night, last night was the first night where the cycle was broken."

Hiei just looked at her other hand holding the cigarette. It was getting in the way of what he wanted to do. "Can you put that thing out?"

Shizuru just smiled at him, guessing it got on his nerves, that or just irritated his nose. "I suppose." She carefully pushed the tip into the wet ground, wondering what Hiei was thinking.

Hiei removed his hand from her grip and before she could blink he had his arms around her shoulders, holding her head to his chest gently. He quietly told her, "Shizuru, you have to let it go. If there is anything that I have learned in these years with you people, it's let things go. There are enough out there who would blame you for completely blameless things. You have to stop blaming yourself."

Shizuru breathed shakily, but didn't cry. She usually kept this all under lock and key within her head, knowing that if she ever let it out, she might never stop crying. Her shell was very tough, but what was inside was not. "What are you trying to do to me, Hiei? Turn me into an emotional wreck?" She tried to get some balance back in her head as she put her arms around his waist, returning the embrace.

He held her for a long time without replying. He finally told her, "No. I want to heal you."

Shizuru just sat there quietly when he said this. She looked up at his three eyes, the two red and the one violet. She felt like she could drown in his gaze. ~but how are you supposed to do that?~ She though, never realizing that she sent the thought.

Hiei started when she sent the thought, though he knew that he shouldn't have been surprised. She was the equivalent of A class, and many of them were telepaths, as he had been born as himself. His voice gruffly answered her thought, "By being your mate." He answered her, staring straight into her eyes. Even his Jagan eye was in agreement on this and that was usually the hardest to convince of anything.

Shizuru just looked up at Hiei, not sure what to say to that declaration.

***************Yusuke and Botan**************************

Yusuke looked around at the disaster that was his house. It was getting so depressing coming home and honestly wished he could stay in the Makai. At least there, he had servants to clean when he didn't feel like doing it himself. Botan had been a chore to get home from Kurama's. He had tried to cheer her up on the way home, and it seemed like it hadn't done anything.

Botan looked around listlessly. "Where's Atsuko?"

Yusuke snorted, "Where else? Out partying. I think she'll be back in a couple of days. Listen, Botan, I have a couple of questions to ask you."

Botan sat down on the couch, slumped over. "I'm not in the mood, Yusuke. I don't want to think of anything right now."

"Yeah, I know that, but I don't know just how long my mother can wait." He crouched down on the floor in front of Botan, forcing her to look into his eyes.

Botan looked curious at that, she had assumed that he wanted to talk about her. "What's wrong with your mother?"

Yusuke asked, "Look I know you're not supposed to give out times of death and such, but in your oppinion, how long do you think my mother has on this self-destruct sequence that she's on?" He turned away and looked as if he wanted to slam his fist into the wall, but they both knew that the wall could not take it.

"Your mother?" Botan thought about it. "Personally, I would say she's succeeding at an astonishing rate. The minute that you are capable of living on your own, she could do some serious things to herself."

"Yeah, I know. Why do you think I don't move out of here?" Yusuke looked around at the piles of dishes, the magazines, and all the other accumulated crap. "Botan, when am I going to have time to take care of my mother? If I move back to the Makai and take over my territory, that's a full time job!"

Botan was at least not focused on her own depression, now. She started to think of the problem of Yusuke's mother. "Why don't you have her move with you? It's not like your castle is terribly unstable or anything like that."

Yusuke nodded. "True, any ideas on how to get my mom to go with me?" They talked over different strategies on getting Yusuke's mother out of the Ningenkai where she seemed to have all the outlets for her self-destruction and to the Makai where admittedly she could try to self-destruct in much more inventive ways, but it would be in Gandistra that the real danger would lie for her.

A knock on the door roused them from their quiet talk. Yusuke got up to answer the door, realizing that it was quite late and wondered who it could be. A quick peak proved to be Kurama, Keiko and more disturbing to his mind, Jin and Touya.

Yusuke opened the door. "Hi, guys, it's almost ten thirty at night, what's up?"

"I'll be tellin' y' what's up, Urameshi." Jin said, "There's somat you killed, well, he's up an' movin' again!"

Yusuke looked at him. "Ya know, Jin, I like you a lot, but I still can't understand a damn word you say."

Touya gave a small smile, "What he means to say is that we spotted someone that all of us thought was dead. Toguro is alive and well, living in the Makai."

Kurama had only known that Jin and Touya needed to see Yusuke as quickly as possible, but didn't realize that it was as desperate as that. Keiko gasped, snuggling under his arm for reassurance. "It was just the younger Toguro brother, right?" He had left the older brother tied to a Sinning Tree, forever on the brink of death.

"Aye, just th' one that Urameshi fought!" Jin answered and while still fast, was almost intelligable.

Touya nodded. "I don't think that the older one has been spotted in recent history." He bowed slightly to Kurama, "I forgot to congratulate you when we arrived for accepting the appointment as Yomi's heir."

"Touya, you have reformed your ways, there is no need to be so formal with me." Kurama told him, seeing that the warning that he had given Touya earlier may have had lasting effects beyond what was necessasary.

Touya gave a wry grin. "Thank you. Though you will be inheriting one third of the Makai and thus should get some respect, Kurama."

"Maybe sooner than anyone expects." Kurama gave a glance at Keiko and remembered some of his abilities that had come out completely spontaneously.

Botan just listened wide eyed to all of this. "I escourted Toguro myself to Reikai! That means only one thing, either Enma, or Koenma must have been behind this!"

"Great," Yusuke drawled, "First I have assassins on my case, then I have people who should be dead but aren't! And I thought Koenma was a pain when he was my boss!"

Botan looked at Yusuke sorrowfully, "And I was right there on my oar when they were initially dispatched, too! My whole world is turning upside down!"

Keiko knelt down beside Botan, putting her arms around the ferry girl. "It'll be alright, Botan. Somehow. We're now twice as strong as we were then, too."

Botan just looked at Keiko. "What do you mean?"

"I think what she means, Botan," Shizuru added from the window, being held by Hiei, as the two entered and Shizuru was put down, "Is that now my baby brother is also mated to Yukina, Keiko is mated to Kurama, and I haven't decided yet about myself, but I'm definately helping on this one."

Touya and Jin looked at her.

"What are you boys looking at?" Shizuru glared at the two.

Touya thought she looked beautiful, but then looked at the charm bracelet, as well as the tear-gem at her throat. Silently he thought, Two of the most powerful demons in the Makai, and they both fall for humans. Maybe I should try to spend some time here as well. "So what should our course of action be, my lord?" Speaking to Yusuke.

"Damn!" Was the response and he thought furiously, "Just observe for now. You two haven't changed too much in power levels since Kurama and I fought you, but we have no clue as to what his power level is. I kinda liked him, except for his attatude problem. So I would like to recruit him if possible. Besides, I need to talk to Genkai before anyone does anything. She should have the say so on what needs to happen to Toguro."

"My sister and her mate are there now. We should have a meeting in the morning." Hiei stated.

"But, Hiei, it's a school day tomorrow." Keiko protested.

Hiei just looked at her. "Which is going to make more difference to your future? School which will be completely obsolete when you move to the Makai, or dealing with the restlessness before you end up with kits?"

Keiko paled at hearing the bald truth stated. She had never thought of this angle before. She looked up into Kurama's calm eyes, they were golden, she realized. She wondered why his eyes were completely golden. ~Kurama?~ She tentatively sent the thought to him.

Kurama heard the question in her mental voice. ~It is the thought of you pregnant with my kits, my flower.~ He answered her. "Hiei has a valid point. If Yukina is mated, then we all know the koorime. We have six months to solve these problems in the Makai, provided that Keiko does not join Yukina. The thought of not finishing school leaves me cold, but there is very little that I can see to change that."

"Hn. Problems are adding up. Though with Toguro added in, we know at least where part of the destabilization is coming from." Hiei added onto Kurama's assessment.

Yusuke swore, "Yeah, only two people who can bring someone back from the dead, I should know. Unless, of course, you have demon blood and don't get picked up by a ferry girl."

Botan nodded. "It's very rare for anyone to be granted a second shot at life. There usually have to be overwhelming reasons for anyone to be given one."

"So tell me, if you can, why was the detective given the opportunity?" Hiei asked.

Botan smiled at Yusuke, "Because Koenma saw the fact that Yusuke had a great deal of potential, and the fact that even though his attatude was that of a punk, there was an element of self-sacrafice to save others."

"Ah, yes. His 'save-the-day-superhero' tendencies." Hiei put it into his own terms, smiling at Yusuke to show that he was teasing.

"Well, this's all fine an' dandy, but the real question is: What's fer us t' b' doin'?" Jin asked.

Touya told him. "We watch, and we wait. We let these people handle Toguro. I could not tell if his power was still where it was, just that it was unmistakably Toguro's power."

"I gotcha, Touya." Yusuke told him. "Did the two of you want to head back now, or wait until morning? Either way, we've had a very eventful day and I for one am about to crash."

"If'n y' don't b' mindin', I'd like t' b' stayin' here." Jin told Touya.

Touya just nodded. "It had been a long day for us, too. It will be nice not keeping watch."

Hiei turned to Shizuru, "I should see you home. Were you planning on working tomorrow?"

"That'll be a not no, but a hell no. I told you, I'm helping on this one. My baby brother's going to move to the Makai anyway, what's tying me here anymore?" Shizuru said, looking straight into Hiei's eyes.

Hiei was at a loss for words for the moment. He looked over at Kurama.

Kurama stepped in smoothly. "I believe that you have the same choice to make as another once did. Only your heart can answer that question for you. Once you find where your heart lies, then you can answer your question."

Shizuru looked between the two demons, then glanced at Keiko, who just looked back with steady eyes. She realized they already held hints of pure youko gold in them. "The problem is that I know where my heart is, I'm just not sure about any of this. Though I can't see myself as an office fly for the rest of my life. Maybe if I see what I'll be getting into, I'll be able to actually sort through my head and my heart."

Hiei nodded. He wasn't sure about that, but he had to trust that her heart would in fact overrule her head. Shizuru was too head driven in his opinion. React first, then think over what happened, it was the way of survival in the Makai. "Would you like to go out the same way we came in, or would you prefer to walk?"

Jin looked about to tease them, when Touya stepped in, undoubtedly to prevent bodily harm done to his partner.

Kurama looked at Keiko, who was getting a bit tired. She didn't quite have the resiliency of a demon yet and able to get by on four hours, or less sleep. "I think we're going to head home as well."

Keiko stood up, nodding. "I am getting tired, Kurama. And regardless of whether we have school or not in the morning, it looks like it'll be an early start for us."

Touya offered a hand to Kurama. "Tell your mother that I apologize once more for disturbing you so late in the evening. If it hadn't been critical news, we would have waited."

Kurama took the proferred hand. "I'll tell her. Thank you Touya." He then left, with his mate.

Shizuru looked at Hiei. "You know, I think I would like to travel the same way they did."

Hiei smiled at her. "On foot?" He slightly inclined his head, "As you wish." He offered her an arm which she took.

Yusuke contained himself until they had left, then burst out, "Their height difference is so wrong! I mean, thinking of Kuwabara and Yukina gives me headaches, but at least the guy is taller than the girl! It's not right to have a foot taller gal than guy together!"

Botan just stood up for them, showing some of her usual spunk, "And just what is wrong with that, Yusuke! If they love each other than what else matters?"

Yusuke just shook his head, "I don't know, it just makes my head hurt." He yawned again. "Well, guys, did you want to sleep in mom's room? I know for a fact she won't be back tonight."

Jin and Touya just nodded and went into the offered room.

Yusuke looked at Botan, "Did you want the couch, or my room?"

Botan looked at the couch, then glanced over at Yusuke's room. She put her finger to her mouth, thinking. "I don't want to deprive you, Yusuke, I'll just take the couch."

"You sure? You can have it if you want it." Yusuke pressed.

Botan shook her head. "No, Yusuke, I'll take the couch."

Yusuke shrugged and said, "Okay. Sweet dreams." Then he went into his bedroom.

Botan laid down on the couch, trying to get comfortable. She removed her ponytail holder to release some of the tension in her head. Well, I guess that answered my questions about who Koenma loves. I wonder what will become of me? I can't continue to be Koenma's top ferry girl, not after this. And King Enma and I have never seen eye to eye. Once again, I was Koenma's choice, and not his. She wondered where he got off, Sensui had Enma's approval, and look where that lead. She finally drifted off to slumber, wondering what she would do now.

Yusuke got ready for bed, but found himself almost peckish. He walked out, wondering what scene he would walk out to. He saw Botan, asleep on the couch, the light coverlet used on the couch thrown over her and her thick blue hair released from it's ponytail. He realized he'd never seen her without her hair up. It fell down in soft waves around her face as she quietly breathed. He wondered if she would ever care for him such as he cared for her. He sighed and thought probably not.

He quietly went into the kitchen and rummaged through the cupboards, his mother hadn't gone to the store and he hadn't had a chance to, either. He sighed as he grabbed the inevitable ever-present ramen noodles. He cooked them quickly and ate them out in the kitchen, still standing up. He added the bowl to the pile already in the sink and walked back towards his room. He paused by the couch, knelt down and just looked for a moment.

Botan stirred slightly in her sleep and murmurred, "Yusuke."

Yusuke was shocked, he never had dreamed that she would have dreams about him. He bent forward and just barely brushed her lips with his, giving her a soft kiss. He quietly moved back into his bedroom, never noticing the pink eyes open and follow his progress.

Botan had felt the brush and knew instinctively who had kissed her. She had never dreamed that he could be so gentle. She smiled softly and snuggled down in the couch, feeling much better.

*****************Kurama and Keiko**************************

The two walked through the front door, only to be greeted by Shiori.

"How did it go?" Shiori asked.

Kurama smiled at his mother, "Not too badly, though it's looking like we're going to have to deal with this situation as soon as is possible. Touya and Jin were doing a patrol within Yusuke's area and spotted someone whom everyone thought was dead. We're going to have a meeting in the morning discussing this. Apparently, Kuwabara and Yukina mated tonight, which means that she's pregnant. Koorime's are fertile enough that they get pregnant every time they are with someone sexually." He mentally wondered if she would want one of his plant concoctions to prevent such an occurance.

Keiko told her, "Touya apologized again for disturbing us, but the news couldn't wait. It means the destabilization is getting worse quickly."

"Sounds like tomorrow will be another chaotic day for you." Shiori looked troubled as she asked, "You won't be able to finish school, will you?"

Kurama embraced his mother, "Probably not. Keiko's going to be changing faster than we can keep up with it. It's beginning to look as if we're going to have problems coming at us from all sides."

"Well, son," She returned the embrace. "I can't say that I'm not disappointed, but it sounds like you people have multiple timetables to work around and now you are committed to solving these problems before Yukina delivers."

"More than that, Mother, if Keiko starts carrying, she could deliver before Yukina." Kurama told her.

Keiko's eyes widened as she looked at her mate, who wordlessly drew her into the embrace that he already had with his mother. She leaned into Kurama's side. "What are you telling me?"

"A pure youko, such as you when you are done, have a gestation period of just under four months. Fortunately, kits born to two youkos are not born as foxlets, but actual youko kits. They do not have to gain the powers of the demon over hundreds of years, as I had to do. You will have two or three kits." Kurama told her matter of factly in his soft voice.

Keiko just looked at Kurama in disbelief, as Shiori shook this new information in.

Shiori studied the two and withdrew from their embrace. Keiko looked slightly troubled, while Kurama looked as calm as always. Shiori told them, "Go to bed, you two, the morning always brings a new perspective."

Kurama nodded. "Come Keiko. We need to sleep on this before any decision can be made. We will have to be at Genkai's temple tomorrow morning."

Keiko walked up the stairs with him.

****************Hiei and Shizuru***************

Shizuru looked at Hiei as he was going to leave her on her doorstep. "Not going to come in?"

Hiei just looked back into her eyes. "I thought I would leave you in peace." He replied. Besides the fact that he wasn't at all sure that he could control himself if something happened this time.

"How many times do I have to tell you, Hiei?" Shizuru just looked at him in exasperation. "You bring me more peace than I have ever known."

"You sound as if you blame me for bringing you peace." Hiei told her. "I am not in the habit of being blamed for pleasant occurances."

"If you continue to court me, you'll have to get used to it." She brought him in. "Did you need a snack?"

"No." He looked at her. He wondered if she knew just how much he burned to claim her.

She grabbed a soda from the fridge. She had briefly thought about grabbing a beer instead, but thought better of it. "Come on." She told him, tossing a head towards the stairs.

"Not without knowing the answer." Hiei told her. "I need an answer, Shizuru."

Shizuru looked at Hiei, seeing the sincerity in his eyes. She looked down at him, puzzled.

He answered the unspoken question. "If I am to be your mate, I must be your mate. If I am not, then I cannot. One cannot have the privilages of having a mate if you do not have one." He turned away from her. "You are not the only one who has found peace with the other. I have slept twice today. I normally sleep once, and very short times at that. So much so that either one of the times today was my entire quota of sleep."

Shizuru never realized that Hiei had found peace with her as much as she had with him. She turned him toward her, sitting down on the steps. "Then, I think we need to take care of this mutual problem that we have. My thoughts have stopped spinning. I needed a statement from you, but I needed to hear what I inspire in you as well. I may have your heart, that doesn't mean that I know what's in it."

"Are you sure, Shizuru? Once begun, I will be unable to stop." Hiei told her steadily.

Shizuru gazed back at him, her eyes steady. "Hiei, I never answer until I'm sure. We both, it would seem, need each other. I've never been romantic, too grounded in practicalities to consider the romance."

Hiei reached up, cupping her face. "I know. For the most part, as have I." He bent down and softly touched her lips with his. Her mouth tasted of the soda she had drunk as she kissed him back. "Let us move to your room."

Shizuru nodded as she stood up. She wondered if she could ever have a day more eventful than this, then decided that she probably could and really didn't want to know.

Hiei followed her up the stairs. He had wanted to claim her so badly earlier, but knew that she would have resented it then. It was much better to let her come to him. He still intended to fill out the charm bracelet that he had given her. He knew that he would also have to introduce her to Mukuro. He looked at her sorrow laden eyes and wondered what they would look like if they were ever filled with happiness.

Shizuru opened the door to her room. She was used to the emptiness of the house, but somehow it didn't seem as overwhelming as it had, not with Hiei there. She went and sat on the bed, wondering what it would feel like to have an other half there for you. She needed one, badly.

Hiei saw the hope in her eyes and knew that she wanted, not just needed, this. Her mind had joined purpose with her heart as he had hoped that it would. He bent his head down as he was still standing and gave her a burning kiss.

Shizuru gasped at not only the heat, but the intensity. He took this opportunity to thrust his tongue in and plunder the depths of her mouth as he gently laid her down on the bed. She willingly followed his lead laying down, then pulled up on his cloak, now knowing that there were no fasteners.

Hiei withdrew his arms and broke off the kiss so that he could toss the material over his head. He had briefly paused to grab a clean shirt from the hallway closet when he had arrived at Kurama's house. It was a sky blue one, similar to that he had worn at the beginning of the Dark Tournament. He started undoing the buttons on her shirt even as Shizuru started exploring his arms, seeming to memorize the muscle contours.

Shizuru knew that beyond his size, it was always his physique that gave away the fact that he was no child. Others would always underestimate him, until they knew him. She knew his strength. She also vividly remembered the pleasure earlier. It was going to be different after today.

Hiei knew that once more, he would have to hold his strength in check. She was wearing a long sleeved shirt this time and so he brought up one hand so that he could nibble her fingers while he unbuttoned the cuff. He didn't release her hand after he was done with the cuff, though. He drew each finger deep within his mouth, suckling on each of them and giving a soft lip coated nip to the tip. He then repeated all of the actions on her other hand as he made sure that cuff was unbuttoned as well. After he was done with the ministrations he reached up and pushed her shirt off of her shoulders.

Shizuru sat up, ensuring that her shirt fell cleanly off. She eagerly removed his shirt as he unhooked her bra. When they were both completely topless their arms tangled around each other as their mouths devoured each other's. Her hands tangled in his hair as his slanted her head and held it motionless for his plundering.

They both moaned as their tongues met and stroked the other's. Hiei leaned slightly, laying them down again. He kept one hand at the back of her head while his other moved to where it was between their bodies, stroking down and cupping her breast.

Shizuru thought that he had been intense earlier. She suspected this was how badly he had burned earlier, but held back for her sake. There was a yearning present that had not been there. Her hands started wandering down his back, noting that this was just as muscled as his front was.

Hiei broke off the kiss finally with a moan as he felt her hands on his back, which was particularly sensitive. Her hands glided over his shoulderblades as he gasped.

Shizuru grinned as she explored his back, which seemed to be an erogenous zone for him. He leaned back into her hands almost sitting up. She took the opportunity to explore the front at the same time. She kissed his collarbone, opening her mouth as she brought her tongue into play.

Hiei revelled in this sexual assault that she had mounted. Her hands on his back, mouth in front. He moaned, caught between the two and unsure of whether to lean forward or back. He raised to his knees and just held motionless as she continued.

This was more than Shizuru had barganed for, but didn't question it. She got her chance to explore with lips, tongue, teeth and hands. Her mouth moved down to his nipples, which were nothing more than a nubbin of flesh, but became hard under her ministrations. She moved her hands down to his still clad butt, kneading the two rock hard peices of flesh. There was nothing soft about this body of his. He was a warrior in his prime.

Hiei could do nothing except moan. He didn't think anything could be quite so pleasurable. She was finding all of his areas to bring him pleasure as he had done to her earlier, though the fleeting thought crossed his mind that he hadn't explored her back. As he felt himself becoming painfully aroused, he knew that he would have to have release from this torture soon. He felt her hands stop their delicious kneading and moaned his disappointment only to feel her hands snake around to start removing his belts.

Shizuru could feel the rock hardness of his manhood and removed his belts, letting them slide to the floor along with his pants dropping down to his knees, which he was still on. As she released him, he blurred away, removing his pants, then coming back just as quickly. He ravenously kissed her as if this time he was well and truly desperate, his hands moving at the same time to undo her fastenings on her pants. He pulled back just far enough to pull off her lower clothing and immediately returning.

Hiei needed her to be just as desperate as he was. He kissed his way down her front, not pausing at many spots. He gave each peak attention, but not much, he was too anxious for a slow leasurely love making session. He caught her nub with his lips, tasting her wetness. Her flavor was unlike anything he had ever tasted, so uniquely Shizuru that he couldn't put words to it. He licked her core directly, thrusting his tongue into that wet and tempting hole that he was about to claim as his, and his alone.

Shizuru cried out as she felt this. She had others do similar things to her, but nothing compared to this sensation. She felt him adding a finger to just manipulate her nubbing of flesh and gasped as she felt herself becoming even more aroused. She reached down and clutched his head, fingers clamping and flexing as she was overwhelmed by pleasure.

Hiei didn't want her to come like this, not this time. He withdrew before she climaxed. She was not quite on the brink and in much the same state as he was. She tried to pull him back to her core. "Not this time, Shizuru." He moaned at her as he surged up and seated himself once more within her depths. He had primed her to last about as long as he would and once more he had his concerns about his strength. It had been harder than he thought to hold back his strength earlier. He wanted to minimize the risk to her that he would lose control.

Shizuru gasped as she felt herself being filled again. He didn't seem to have quite the amount of control this time as he had last time. He was definately warmer within her, not enough to hurt her, but enough so that she noticed. She met his hips eagerly. She could feel the iron control that he held his strength under as he started moving within her. She moaned his name as she felt her climax approaching. Just as she was about to explode, he stopped, forcibly. She cried out her need.

Hiei locked eyes with her, as she tried to move. He put the base of his neck to her lips. "Bite me, Shizuru. Make me yours for all time." He huskily said.

Shizuru wasted no time in doing exactly as he told her to. She bit down hard, hearing him moan as his blood flowed into her mouth. It was hot, with once more that cool overtone to it. Hiei started moving again and she tore her mouth free from the already dwindling trickle as she screamed her pleasure as she felt her own climax burst upon her.

Hiei gave a few thrusts after she exploded around him before bending down, feeling his own climax approching. He bit into the soft flesh joining her neck and shoulder, tasting her blood. He too, removed his mouth so that he could cry out his pleasure to her. He collapsed on her, feeling his youki drain to almost dangerous levels.

Shizuru cradled her demon in her arms as his breathing slowed to sleep patterns. He gave a soft kiss to the side of her neck just before he fell into slumber with a smile on his face. She smiled at him and then followed him into sleep.
