"The Mating"
Disclaimer: If I owned it could you have imagined the plot? These lovely characters are not mine, just borrowing, save for Moya, who was created completely by accident.
AN: Just a small note here, Moya and Touya will most likely turn into a side story of their own, that will start within the confines of this chapter. I can hope that no one will be too disappointed, but I just have so much going on already that I really need to focus on what the main characters are doing. Their story will be written, and I want to reassure any readers on that. I didn't realize just how short this chapter was. The plot really picks back up in the next chapter. Sorry this took so long to get out. I wrote some in the next chapter and realized that rabid plot bunnies were taking over once again. I've also had time finding time to write. Thank you to all of you for reviewing! Sorry I'm not putting up individual responses this time, but between one thing and another, I think I'm lucky to be able to find time too update. Should have another chapter in about a week(I hope).
Chapter 28- Arrival in Gandistra
Their trip was very uneventful, but then, there were five A-class, two of whom bordered on S-class themselves travelling with three S-class youkai. Nothing wanted to bother them unless they had a death wish.
Moya found herself fascinated by the forest they walked through, Touya pointing out the flora that could be deadly, if they weren't travelling with two silver youkos. She shuddered at the appearance of the death tree.
Kurama entered the gates of the city that he was soon to inherit with his mate at his side and the rest of the group following them. The guards at the city gates gave very polite bows to both Kurama and Keiko, who they only recognized as Kurama's mate due to the symbol on her neck as last time she had been completely human in appearance. They also bowed to Hiei and Shizuru as well as Yusuke, who had once more taken his demon form. Botan got distrusting looks, but a growl from Yusuke made them behave in a hurry. Moya got curious looks, but considering the group she was with, none quesioned her. Touya was also passed without question, and seemed well known. Yukina and Kuwabara weren't even given two looks, though the presence of a koorime was noticed by others.
Walking through the market place, the sharp eared amoung them could hear the whispers going around. They varied from "Mukuro's heir has mated?" all the way to "Reikai bitch!" The last had Yusuke fuming.
"Kurama, how do you tolerate this?"
"If you wish to put a stop to it, please do, no physical violence, however is allowed in my marketplace." Kurama told him.
Yusuke smiled grimly, "No violence, huh? Okay, then, WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP!" When the marketplace had quieted of everything, save for a screaming baby or two, and the mothers trying to hush them, he said in a slightly calmer, and much quieter voice, "Now, I'll have you know that Botan," Here he put his arm around her, "Is NOT working for the Reikai anymore than I am. Neither of us are owned and if anyone has any problems with that, you can come see me!"
Kurama lifted a brow, "Effective," he began, only to have Hiei pick it up, "But wouldn't you call that just a little overdone?"
"Well, you two know how I get when I'm pissed." Yusuke replied, "And I know you two heard what she was called."
"Yusuke," Keiko said with understanding eyes, "We all heard it. Kurama did more or less the same thing you just did when we first came to this market, only he did it with a single glare." She gathered Botan up in her arms, just holding her gently.
"I knew it would be bad for me to come to the Makai. King Enma doesn't seem to care how many youkai he hurts, and Koenma doesn't seem to realize what his father is exactly doing!" Botan cried into Keiko's shoulder.
"Come on, let's get you to the palace." Shizuru laid a hand on Botan's shuddering shoulder. "Get you away from these prying eyes."
They hurried onto the palace, which immediately let them in, having heard of the incident in the marketplace. The group quickly made it's way to the throne room where Yomi was. He was in the middle of hearing a dispute and had his most polite look on his face, which meant that he was bored. He sensed the group's entrance though and told the others, "Hold!"
Kurama just looked at Yomi, "What's going on?"
Yomi walked over to them, and then whispered, "Just a minor dispute about something or other. Truth to tell I haven't really been paying attention, these two have brought me disputes about twice a month for the last six. I'm getting a little tired of it."
"I could tell." Kurama replied. "Would you like to retire?"
"You mean now?"
"Either now, or would you like us to tour the rest of the cities to get them used to the idea that I'll be taking over?" Kurama told him.
"I think I prefer the latter. Some of my cities, as you know, are entirely run by the theives. I have little or no control there."
"Wonder why that would be." Yusuke commented. "Look, how about we split up and meet up again in a month? All of us have some damage control to do, and I'm sure Mukuro wants to meet Shizuru."
"Hey, Urameshi, what about us?" Kuwabara asked.
"Kuwabara, how about if Yukina and yourself came to my castle?" Yusuke turned to Hiei, "Would you trust your sister's safety in my castle?"
"Hn." Hiei replied with a nod.
"Okay, then, and Botan, it goes without saying that you'll come with me." Yusuke told her.
"Do I have to go through that marketplace?" Botan asked.
"I happened to hear about that." Yomi said, "No, you don't. There is a place you can exit from on the roof."
"Cool." Yusuke said, "I can summon Puu and we can ride him. I miss the big guy in the Ningenkai."
Yusuke started to go, when Kurama's voice stopped him. "Yusuke, do you need Touya to team up with Jin again?"
"I don't know. I'll send Jin here for you to investigate that. He should be checking in at the castle."
Hiei looked over at them. "I must be going. Mukuro's probably frantic by now and I hope to make Alaric by nightfall."
"Understood, Hiei. Take care and we'll meet back here in a month?" Kurama told him with a smile.
Hiei raised a brow, then realized why they needed to meet in Gandistra. "Indeed. Shizuru, are you ready to go?"
"No offense, but is it possible for us to visit the marketplace first?" Shizuru asked. "I'd kinda like to return Keiko's clothing and get some of my own." She swept her hair, now waist-length, out of her face.
Hiei looked at Shizuru. He was still amazed at her beauty. Her eyes no longer held the disillusioned look that she sported for so long, cynicism was still there, yes, but that was similar to the look common to most youkai. Her eyes retained their shape from before, just turning the eye color to the crimson of the fire demon. It was the only indication that Yukina was not a full koorime, but a cross-breed. Shizuru inherited the pale skin tone, as pale as she had been, it was now lighter yet. Hair color was an indication of just how powerful the fire demon was. Shizuru's was ranked only second within the fire demons, with his own ranking first. He smiled at her, "Very well, we shall acquire clothing that you are happy with."
"Not just clothing, I need some things like hair clips and such. This mass needs some taming." Shizuru said, running her fingers through said hair.
Keiko nodded, "I understand, this does take a little getting used to. How thick did yours end up? With the translucent effect, it's hard to tell."
"It's very thick, or at least thicker than my hair was when it was human hair." She looked at her mate's hair. "Why did mine get long? Yours is very short."
Hiei shrugged, "Most fire demons have shorter hair, however, almost all female fire demons do have longer hair and all koorime have long hair, such as Yukina has. The main difference between the two, is that koorime and ice demon's hair color is all in shades of ice, and hi youkai all have flame colored hair. Mine is as dark as a flame can get, and yours is the next hottest next to mine. The only way a fire demon can be beat is by a hotter fire then their own at least within our own ranks."
"Which is how you got forced to first use the dragon, Hiei." Kurama interjected.
Hiei nodded in agreement. "It is." He looked at Shizuru. "Fox, is it all right if we stay the night and get an early start in the morning?"
Kurama looked at Yomi, who shrugged. "I do not mind if they stay here for the night. There are guest rooms. I must get back to my hearing." Yomi sighed. "I'll give the two of you a month to make contact with some of these cities, especially the ones that I have literally no control over."
"We'll leave in the morning, then." Kurama said, looking over at Keiko, who smiled.
"Well, guys," Yusuke said with obvious reluctance, "I'd love to stay and chat with you, but I really need to check on my mother, Genkai, Toguro and Chuu. I only hope the castle is still standing."
Botan laughed, "Now Yusuke, I know you don't really think that they would tear down the castle, now do you?"
The others were delighted to hear an honest laugh out of Botan, ever since she had arrived from Reikai, she had been depressed. Nothing obvious, just constantly there. Yusuke said, "That's my gal." He gave her a quick hug when she blushed.
The four left, with a servant showing them the way to the roof even as Yusuke summoned Puu. "We'll see you guys in a month! Don't be idle while we're gone!" Yusuke called at them from Puu.
"Yeah, don't forget now! And Shrimp, you'd better take care of my sister!" Kuwabara yelled at him.
"Same goes for you, Baka!" Hiei replied.
When Yukina looked about to say something to her mate, Shizuru interrupted, "Sweethart, I don't think either of us will change them. They'll be like this even after years."
Yukina sighed. "But I can hope, can't I? That my mate and my brother will get along?"
"As the saying goes, don't hold your breath, but yes, you can hope." Shizuru replied. "Now get going, and take care of yourself."
Hiei nodded. "We'll see you in a month."
Yusuke had Puu take off and waved as they turned towards his castle.
"Shall we visit the marketplace?" Shizuru asked.
"Lets." Keiko agreed.
Touya looked at Moya, "Did you want to join them?"
"How about some food? We didn't get to eat any of the food that Kurama's mother had and I'm starved." Moya replied. "Then we can visit the market?"
Touya nodded. "Lord Kurama? Lord Hiei? May we withdraw?"
Moya was still trying to get used to her old schoolmate being a lord. She sighed when the two nodded at them, giving their permission. The two were about to walk off when Kurama stopped Touya and handed him a small pouch of gold.
"Buy her some garments as well." Kurama told him, "We do not know how long we will be here."
Touya nodded and the two left the palace and walked towards the inn
Hiei and Kurama just sighed. They knew that this was inevitable and just resigned themselves to their fate at the moment. Kurama felt for a pouch of gold that he had gotten into the habit of carrying once again. Hiei always did have a pouch full of gold on him. They both knew that their purses would be considerably lighter when they came back.
While at the marketplace, Kurama kept a sharp eye out for any pickpockets that were around and about, he had a message to deliver and knew that a pickpocket was the best way to do that. He finally stopped one who looked up at him. It was a boy, possibly in his early teens who looked up at him distrustingly. "Don't worry, I will not hurt you, boy. I need a message delivered."
"Who to?"
"Your masters. The Guild masters."
"Why should they listen to you?"
"Because I will make it worth their time." Kurama replied, reaching in to his purse. "Tell them that Youko wishes to speak with them regarding some very important matters." He gave the boy two silver coins. "Keep this one for yourself, the other one is for your masters only." He differentiated between them for the boy. "There are very troubling things going on and if we do not all wish to end up dead, your master will hear what I have to say. Tell them that."
"It's your head." The boy shrugged. "Guess I'm off. You're at Yomi's palace, right?"
Kurama nodded.
"I will see the message is delivered, what they do with it is out of my hands."
"I understand. I used to rank third in the guild and understand well how they operate." Kurama replied. "What is your name?"
The boy shrugged, "Tashan, why?"
"If this works out, I'd like to have you as my messanger for this mess." Kurama told him. "Now I know who to ask for." He watched the boy scamper off through the crowds, avoiding people with ease.
Hiei just said, "I hope you know what you are doing."
Kurama smiled slightly, "I do. I watched him for a full half-hour before catching him. His mind is quicker than his hands, it's why he's still just a pickpocket. Usually the guild moves them on from a pickpocket at twelve, only one's who've shown promise, but they can't figure out what to do with remain pickpockets after that age."
"I see. I worked for the guild from time to time, but only freelance work." Hiei said.
Keiko turned from the booth that she had been looking at, she had heard the whole conversation, but chosen to ignore it. "Well, if you are done with that business, maybe you can help me find something here? And I fully intend to be briefed on this conversation that seemed to go over my head."
Kurama went over to Keiko, "I was just making contact with the Thieve's guild, love. I'm going to need their cooperation. I was third in charge of the guild 20 years ago, it's barely the blink of an eye to us demons. I'm hoping that some of them remember me and trust me. We'll see either later tonight, or tomorrow."
Shizuru shrugged, "Shall we continue our shopping? I've only found a couple of things so far."
Hiei smiled very slightly. "Yes, we can. I think Kurama's done with that contact for now. Where did you want to look next?"
Keiko and Shizuru took one look at each other and promptly said, "Hair things!" Fortunately for Kurama, he remembered the layout and it hadn't really changed all that much in 20 years. They spent considerable time looking through the selection available and it went without saying that cutting it was an excersize in futility at best. They came away from that booth with a good collection, as well as some combs and brushes.
Shizuru had come back to the palace with almost a whole new wardrobe. Her tastes ran to more pants than Keiko's, but she still came back with a couple of the multi-colored shimmering dresses, including one identical to the one she was borrowing from Keiko. Her clothes were tending more to the form-fitting variety, rather than the loose, flowing stuff that Keiko preferred. Hiei assured her that was a tendancy of the fire demons, loose enough to move in, but no extra frills for the most part. She also got two cloaks like his, only not a black, but one a very pale blue and the other a darker, navy blue when Hiei just made a comment about how visible she'd be.
They had seen Moya and Touya from a distance, but not many of those in the market place ranked above a low B, so Kurama knew that Moya would be safe. Most thought that Keiko and he had mated quickly, when the truth was that Kurama had contemplated that very thing for years now. He had known that Yusuke and Keiko had never been a true couple, Kurama just needed to know what Keiko had thought of him to make that final move. Hiei as well, ever since the Dark Tournament and had been impressed with Shizuru, had thought about mating with her. None of their matings had really been spur of the moment. Touya was impressed, yes, now he needed to make his mind up on a decision that would last the rest of his life. Moya was only seventeen, they had time.
Hiei retired with Shizuru to the suite that they were assigned to, it was across the hall from Kurama and Keiko's.
Kurama arranged for Touya and Moya to have a suite with two bedrooms. He didn't know if they would share a bed or not, but he would make sure that Moya was protected as best he could. After which Kurama and Keiko withdrew to their own suite.
Keiko put her purchases away and made sure her new hair things were on the dressing table for the morning. "So when do you think the guild will get back with you?" She asked as she arranged the dressing table.
Kurama sat on the bed. "I'll have to hear something before I go to those towns that Yomi has no control in, otherwise we'll have no more influence than he. If I have the blessing of the guild, then we can take control of those towns. I wonder if they ever filled my position?"
"Probably not, but I don't know. Is it well known, what you did?" Keiko asked.
"It is a well known technique, but as well known as it is, it is very rarely used. The effects of this method are kind of unknown, and unique in each case." Kurama said. "I was surprised myself when this happened. It took longer than I thought to regain my true youko powers, but it did happen." He watched his mate as she brushed through her hair.
Keiko met her mate's eyes through the mirror and smiled at Kurama with more than a hint of mischief in her eyes. She slowly turned around on her seat and stood up, using her grace to make to movement as fluidly as possible. "So, what would my mate like?"
Kurama watched Keiko. She is a full vixen all right. He smiled, feeling himself get hard just looking at her. "Anything and everything."
Keiko slowly removed the belt from her waist and dropped it on the floor where it made a nice thump. Her dress was a simple pull over, so she couldn't draw out her strip tease as much as she wanted to, but Kurama was obviously enjoying what he was seeing from where her glance confirmed his hand was mildly caressing. The thought that he found her arousing enough to just look at was making her wet herself. She wondered if he would enjoy watching her. She went over to him and gently took his hands in hers, making him stand.
"What-?"
"Hush." Keiko told him. With a vixen's smile, she told him, "Keep your hands to yourself, until I tell you otherwise."
Kurama raised his brow at this, but nodded.
Keiko proceeded to undress him, keeping their skin contact to a minimum for now. She then went back in front of the mirror so that Kurama could see her backside as well as watch her front.
Kurama returned to the bed, laying down and ready to watch whatever Keiko had cooking in that mischeivious brain of hers.
Keiko reached down and pulled her dress up slowly, revealing her calves and legs. Both were just as trim as when she had been a human, just leaner. She continued up, freeing her tail, which she purposefully twitched, brushing the back of her legs, causing her to gasp in delight. She pulled free the bra like attachment of the dress and tossed the dress off to the side. She now stood, completely naked, in front of her mate. She felt shy about doing this, but wanted to. She had never touched herself before, but she knew where he had touched and how he had touched that brought her pleasure. She closed her youko eyes to give herself a little more courage, only to be stopped by Kurama's voice.
"Keiko, if you don't want to do this now, you do not have to." He stood and took her by the shoulders, causing her to look at him. "We have all the time in the world now. Let's just play with each other, don't force it."
Keiko smiled up at her mate. "Thank you. I wanted to do this for you, I thought I was ready, and you seemed to enjoy watching me, I thought I -" She was cut off from what she was going to say by Kurama tipping her face up and kissing her deeply.
Kurama released her mouth, trailing his lips down the column of her throat even as his hands wandered down to grip her hips and drew her nearer to him.
Keiko's arms went around his shoulders, exploring his back with her hands and lightly scraping her claws down his back, not drawing blood. She could feel his manhood trapped between them, very hard with a restrained urgency to it. She moaned into his mouth.
Kurama drew her back to the bed, having her sit down on the bed. He leaned her back, following her onto the bed, his hands exploring wherever they touched and his mouth nipping its way down her neck. He straddled her hips and brushed his tail along her legs, making her moan.
Keiko didn't quite think it was fair for him to be on top so she ever so quickly gave one good shove, pushing him onto his back and pinning his hands above his head. She grinned down at him.
Kurama willingly laid beneath her, not sure just what she had in mind, though from the grin he was probably going to enjoy this. She kissed him briefly on the lips before her mouth followed the same trail that his own had down his neck. He moaned loudly, knowing that no one could hear them so he could let go and not try to be quiet.
Keiko reveled in the sounds she was drawing from Kurama, but she wanted more. As much as she enjoyed being on top, she found she enjoyed being under him, too. She kissed her way down his pectoral muscles, causing his nipples to pebble up and teasing them lightly with her fangs. Her hand went to his hard manhood, slowly teasing him, but keeping one hand on his wrists.
Kurama decided that he had enough of the teasing, and from the smell of her own arousal, so had she. Kurama surged up, putting her on bottom again. "Enough, vixen." He held her hips in a solid hold, kissing her silver curls. He dampened one finger, exploring her wet depths and listening to her own cries of enjoyment as he kissed and nipped her bud. He, like her, did not find satisfaction in just bringing pleasure to her. Pleasure was meant to be shared between mates. He withdrew his hand and mouth, turning her over onto her stomach and onto her hands and knees.
Keiko moaned loudly as Kurama leaned over her and reached his hands around, playing with her breasts. Their tails somehow brushed each other, causing them both to moan at the contact.
Kurama moved one of his hands from her breast and down to her nub, where he rubbed, causing her to moan more. He regretfully moved her tail off to the side, the silkiness of it causing them both to moan as it brushed them. His hardness and her softness, caressed by her silky tail. He shifted, entering her with one swift stroke, after which, he held still, just caressing her breast and nub just above where they were joined. He heard her moaning, and felt her flexing her inner muscles, trying to get him to move. He crouched down, "Not yet, my vixen." He whispered hoarsely in her ear.
"Please, Kurama!" Keiko said loudly as she felt herself throbbing and knew that she was close to orgasm just from the stimulation and his being inside her.
Kurama smiled contentedly and just held himself still, wanting to feel her contractions around his shaft. He increased his ministrations and gave one forceful thrust, just as he felt her start to go over the chasm, increasing her pleasure, and his. As she calmed down, one of his hands went to her ears while his other remained at her breasts. He loved feeling her pebbles and softness in his hands.
Keiko moaned as she felt her ears being caressed and could not help it as she started moving underneath him.
Kurama removed his hand from her ears and trailed it down the back of her head, brushing down her throat and caressing the planes of her back. He started moving with her, slowly at first, but they both started moving faster and harder against each other. Kurama's hands went to Keiko's hips, holding her steady for his forceful thrusts now that her body could take his full strength, wringing cries of enjoyment from her.
Keiko realized on some level that he had never been this forceful with her and knew that she was now feeling the full force of a youko's mating, but the rest of her didn't care, it was feeling too pleasurable to question. She also never knew that she had quite this stamina for this activity, but it was being proved now as the sensations went on and on and she could feel herself coming closer to her climax and was finally thrown over the edge with a loud cry.
Kurama was right behind her as he thrust one last time and emptied himself within his mate with a groan. Kurama pulled out of her reluctantly as he fell off to the side and curled up with Keiko, spoon fashion. He pulled a blanket over them with the last of his strength, gave her a quick kiss and the two collapsed into sleep.
********************
&nb sp; Hiei smirked at Shizuru. He was glad they'd stayed in Gandistra this night. It was possible to have a full night of pleasure here, where in the woods it was not, and Mukuro's castle in Alaric was not the most peaceful local in the Makai either. You carried the risk that a messenger could knock on the door to your bedroom at any time with some urgent news or situation.
Shizuru was busy braiding her hair, not wanting to deal with the tangle issue in the morning. She was glad she had found equivalents to hair ties at the stall or else it would not have been possible for her to do this, and keep it up.
"Your hair looks even more like a flame, Shizuru." Hiei told her when she was finished tying it off.
Shizuru tossed it over her shoulder. "You really think so?"
Hiei walked over, touching the braid, which kept a transluscent effect on the edge, but had a core of the palest blue flame. "Yes, I really think so."
Shizuru turned around. "Hiei, just how much of a hybrid am I?"
Hiei dropped his hands and turned away from her. "I don't know. I know that I myself have very few koorime traits. Only time will tell."
Shizuru placed her hands on his shoulders and turned her to face him. "Will you stop acting as if you are supposed to have all the answers in the world? You don't, you know. And knowing that you don't, does not make you weaker, it means that you know that you are not perfect." Shizuru leaned forward and kissed him.
Hiei returned her kiss without hesitation and deepened it, pulling her off the stool and towards the bed. "Do you know how beautiful you are?" He finally asked her when he came up for air.
"I know what I look like in the mirror, and I know how attractive you find me, if that's what you mean." Shizuru playfully told him, cupping his manhood in her, smaller than they used to be, hands through his pants.
Hiei let his head fall back with a moan. Her heat went right through his clothing straight to his libido. He was far from what the humans would call a monk, but his mate brought out all of his passion when he had been rather restrained in the sexual area.
Shizuru went once more on the attack, licking her way down his now exposed neck as she removed his scarf. She noticed the air around them heating up, causing heat eddies in the air and it caused her to pause. "Ah, Hiei?"
Hiei brought himself out of the cloud of pleasure that she was causing. "Yes?"
"Is it normal for us to cause the air to get hot?" Shizuru asked tentatively.
"Why do you think we got assigned to a fire proofed room? This room has an enchantment on it to not allow anything in this room to burn, save for the fireplace. Shizuru, only between two fire demons can we really loosen the tight grip we have on our temperature and female fire demons are very rare, most of us are male. It will get much warmer in here before we are done, my mate."
"Hiei, anyone tell you that you're too serious?" Shizuru asked innocently, with her expression anything but.
"I think you just did. Or am I wrong?" Hiei asked back.
Shizuru kissed the mating mark she left on him, licking it and causing Hiei to moan. She pulled back just enough to remove his cloak and dropped it to the floor, now free to explore his arms, which she had always loved. She was wearing the pale blue cloak that she had gotten at the market over the dress that she was going to return to Keiko in the morning. As she continued to explore his arms, shoulders and chest, part of it through his tank top as he pulled her away from him so that he could remove her cloak.
Hiei more freely explored her shoulders, especially now that she was only a head taller than he was. He would have preferred getting taller, but her coming down to his height was acceptable as well. He kissed her ravenously, feeling her return his kiss with just as much hunger as he was displaying. Even he could feel the air getting warmer around them. He felt her hands moving to his belts, and moved his hands in suit. Belts fell to the floor in a loud clatter, followed by Hiei's pants, which had only been held up by the belts. He broke the kiss to gasp when her hands gripped the two globes of his ass and she kneaded them. "Shizuru . . ." He moaned.
Shizuru stepped back and pulled off her dress which had been left loose by the removal of the belt. Hiei removed his shirt as well.
Shizuru tapped his headband, careful to not tap the eye. "Can you remove this now?"
Hiei nodded. "Though I don't know if I can remove the ward on my arm." He reached up and untied his headband.
Shizuru studied his odd three eyed gaze. The two scarlet eyes, and then the one purple eye above them. She kissed him again, signifying that she still accepted him.
Hiei wrapped his arms around her, pressing their bodies together, which seemed to be giving off enough heat to light a furnace. He brought a hand up to her breast, kneading firmly, but gently. He thrust one of his legs between hers, feeling her wetness at the junction of her thighs which caused him to get even harder. He backed her up against the wall and used it to brace her. He never broke the kiss.
Shizuru felt the coolness of the stone behind her, but didn't pay it any mind with her mouth still being ravaged by Hiei's. She knew that he was not holding himself under the iron restraint that he had been priorly, but he was still being gentle with her.
Hiei moved one hand to her hip, holding her easily in place while his other hand moved to the junction of her thighs, testing her depths and causing her to moan. He smirked at her in male pride. He bent his head slightly, capturing her nipple in his mouth and sucking on it, even as his fingers played within her folds. He thrust one finger in and gasped at the heat and wetness he felt.
Shizuru gasped, "As much as I like that, I think you have something different to fill me with."
Hiei grinned back at her, "And what might that be, mate?"
Shizuru couldn't believe he was teasing her in quite this fashion, but reached her hands through the gap between their bodies, took his length in her hand and squeezed. "I think this might work better."
Hiei looked at her seriously for a moment. "Are you sure you don't want to be prepared a little more? You're a little smaller than you were."
Shizuru kissed him, "I'm sure. You haven't taken me ever since we mated, I need you Hiei."
Hiei kissed her, putting two fingers within her hot, slick core. She was wet enough, he just didn't want to cause her any discomfort. He removed his fingers and shifted so that his tip was nudging her entrance and then thrust in with one long, hard thrust, causing her to cry out. He held still as he saw the beginnings of tears in the courner of her eyes. He reached one hand up, gently caressing her cheek until she opened her own crimson eyes.
Shizuru met his own serious eyes with watery ones. She blinked rapidly, feeling the pain start to ease and getting replaced by a much more pleasurable feeling. "Hasn't quite felt like that ever since I lost my maidenhead."
"I warned you." Hiei felt her relaxing and could see the pain clearing even as it was being replaced with a much different sensation.
Shizuru moaned as Hiei gave a tentative thrust. "You did, but the pain is gone."
Hiei took this as a sign as he thrust into her, still slowly and carefully at first, though he didn't worry about his strength nearly as much. Her body could now take more then she could have as a human. He claimed her lips once again as she moaned loudly. He loved to taste his name coming from her lips almost as much as he loved causing it. He held her still as his hips started moving faster and harder within her depths.
Shizuru would have moved with him, but between the iron grip he held her in and the stone wall at her back, she was at his mercy. She leaned her head forward, resting her forehead on his shoulder, holding him closer to her by wrapping her arms around his shoulders, caressing his strong shoulderblades and locking her ankles around his hips.
Hiei wormed one hand between their bodies, playing with the nub just above their joined flesh, causing her to tighten around him and cry out. He felt her close to the edge and sped up his own thrusts.
Shizuru turned her head to the mating mark she had left on Hiei and bit down on it just as she felt her contractions around his shaft within her. His blood freely poured into her mouth briefly, intensifying her climax.
Hiei knew that he could not hold on for too much longer as he thrust in and out, feeling her milking his shaft. He gave a few more thrusts, then followed her over the edge, biting down on her mark and tasting her demon blood for the first time.
The two slowly came back to their senses. Shizuru thought the wall had been an interesting idea. Hiei, still joined with her, carried her over to the bed and layed them down.
"So how did you think of the wall?" Shizuru asked, still panting.
"Why, didn't you like it?" Hiei asked.
"Didn't say that, was just curious."
"It's just always been one of my favorite positions." Hiei shrugged, causing him to flex in her and she gasped. He smirked at her, "Ready for another round?"
Shizuru laughed at him playfully. "And here I thought that you weren't the insatiable one?"
"So I lied." Hiei shrugged it off, then turned more serious, "Though only with you, Shizuru." He kissed her deeply, rolling them so that she was on her back.
To be continued . . .
Disclaimer: If I owned it could you have imagined the plot? These lovely characters are not mine, just borrowing, save for Moya, who was created completely by accident.
AN: Just a small note here, Moya and Touya will most likely turn into a side story of their own, that will start within the confines of this chapter. I can hope that no one will be too disappointed, but I just have so much going on already that I really need to focus on what the main characters are doing. Their story will be written, and I want to reassure any readers on that. I didn't realize just how short this chapter was. The plot really picks back up in the next chapter. Sorry this took so long to get out. I wrote some in the next chapter and realized that rabid plot bunnies were taking over once again. I've also had time finding time to write. Thank you to all of you for reviewing! Sorry I'm not putting up individual responses this time, but between one thing and another, I think I'm lucky to be able to find time too update. Should have another chapter in about a week(I hope).
Chapter 28- Arrival in Gandistra
Their trip was very uneventful, but then, there were five A-class, two of whom bordered on S-class themselves travelling with three S-class youkai. Nothing wanted to bother them unless they had a death wish.
Moya found herself fascinated by the forest they walked through, Touya pointing out the flora that could be deadly, if they weren't travelling with two silver youkos. She shuddered at the appearance of the death tree.
Kurama entered the gates of the city that he was soon to inherit with his mate at his side and the rest of the group following them. The guards at the city gates gave very polite bows to both Kurama and Keiko, who they only recognized as Kurama's mate due to the symbol on her neck as last time she had been completely human in appearance. They also bowed to Hiei and Shizuru as well as Yusuke, who had once more taken his demon form. Botan got distrusting looks, but a growl from Yusuke made them behave in a hurry. Moya got curious looks, but considering the group she was with, none quesioned her. Touya was also passed without question, and seemed well known. Yukina and Kuwabara weren't even given two looks, though the presence of a koorime was noticed by others.
Walking through the market place, the sharp eared amoung them could hear the whispers going around. They varied from "Mukuro's heir has mated?" all the way to "Reikai bitch!" The last had Yusuke fuming.
"Kurama, how do you tolerate this?"
"If you wish to put a stop to it, please do, no physical violence, however is allowed in my marketplace." Kurama told him.
Yusuke smiled grimly, "No violence, huh? Okay, then, WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP!" When the marketplace had quieted of everything, save for a screaming baby or two, and the mothers trying to hush them, he said in a slightly calmer, and much quieter voice, "Now, I'll have you know that Botan," Here he put his arm around her, "Is NOT working for the Reikai anymore than I am. Neither of us are owned and if anyone has any problems with that, you can come see me!"
Kurama lifted a brow, "Effective," he began, only to have Hiei pick it up, "But wouldn't you call that just a little overdone?"
"Well, you two know how I get when I'm pissed." Yusuke replied, "And I know you two heard what she was called."
"Yusuke," Keiko said with understanding eyes, "We all heard it. Kurama did more or less the same thing you just did when we first came to this market, only he did it with a single glare." She gathered Botan up in her arms, just holding her gently.
"I knew it would be bad for me to come to the Makai. King Enma doesn't seem to care how many youkai he hurts, and Koenma doesn't seem to realize what his father is exactly doing!" Botan cried into Keiko's shoulder.
"Come on, let's get you to the palace." Shizuru laid a hand on Botan's shuddering shoulder. "Get you away from these prying eyes."
They hurried onto the palace, which immediately let them in, having heard of the incident in the marketplace. The group quickly made it's way to the throne room where Yomi was. He was in the middle of hearing a dispute and had his most polite look on his face, which meant that he was bored. He sensed the group's entrance though and told the others, "Hold!"
Kurama just looked at Yomi, "What's going on?"
Yomi walked over to them, and then whispered, "Just a minor dispute about something or other. Truth to tell I haven't really been paying attention, these two have brought me disputes about twice a month for the last six. I'm getting a little tired of it."
"I could tell." Kurama replied. "Would you like to retire?"
"You mean now?"
"Either now, or would you like us to tour the rest of the cities to get them used to the idea that I'll be taking over?" Kurama told him.
"I think I prefer the latter. Some of my cities, as you know, are entirely run by the theives. I have little or no control there."
"Wonder why that would be." Yusuke commented. "Look, how about we split up and meet up again in a month? All of us have some damage control to do, and I'm sure Mukuro wants to meet Shizuru."
"Hey, Urameshi, what about us?" Kuwabara asked.
"Kuwabara, how about if Yukina and yourself came to my castle?" Yusuke turned to Hiei, "Would you trust your sister's safety in my castle?"
"Hn." Hiei replied with a nod.
"Okay, then, and Botan, it goes without saying that you'll come with me." Yusuke told her.
"Do I have to go through that marketplace?" Botan asked.
"I happened to hear about that." Yomi said, "No, you don't. There is a place you can exit from on the roof."
"Cool." Yusuke said, "I can summon Puu and we can ride him. I miss the big guy in the Ningenkai."
Yusuke started to go, when Kurama's voice stopped him. "Yusuke, do you need Touya to team up with Jin again?"
"I don't know. I'll send Jin here for you to investigate that. He should be checking in at the castle."
Hiei looked over at them. "I must be going. Mukuro's probably frantic by now and I hope to make Alaric by nightfall."
"Understood, Hiei. Take care and we'll meet back here in a month?" Kurama told him with a smile.
Hiei raised a brow, then realized why they needed to meet in Gandistra. "Indeed. Shizuru, are you ready to go?"
"No offense, but is it possible for us to visit the marketplace first?" Shizuru asked. "I'd kinda like to return Keiko's clothing and get some of my own." She swept her hair, now waist-length, out of her face.
Hiei looked at Shizuru. He was still amazed at her beauty. Her eyes no longer held the disillusioned look that she sported for so long, cynicism was still there, yes, but that was similar to the look common to most youkai. Her eyes retained their shape from before, just turning the eye color to the crimson of the fire demon. It was the only indication that Yukina was not a full koorime, but a cross-breed. Shizuru inherited the pale skin tone, as pale as she had been, it was now lighter yet. Hair color was an indication of just how powerful the fire demon was. Shizuru's was ranked only second within the fire demons, with his own ranking first. He smiled at her, "Very well, we shall acquire clothing that you are happy with."
"Not just clothing, I need some things like hair clips and such. This mass needs some taming." Shizuru said, running her fingers through said hair.
Keiko nodded, "I understand, this does take a little getting used to. How thick did yours end up? With the translucent effect, it's hard to tell."
"It's very thick, or at least thicker than my hair was when it was human hair." She looked at her mate's hair. "Why did mine get long? Yours is very short."
Hiei shrugged, "Most fire demons have shorter hair, however, almost all female fire demons do have longer hair and all koorime have long hair, such as Yukina has. The main difference between the two, is that koorime and ice demon's hair color is all in shades of ice, and hi youkai all have flame colored hair. Mine is as dark as a flame can get, and yours is the next hottest next to mine. The only way a fire demon can be beat is by a hotter fire then their own at least within our own ranks."
"Which is how you got forced to first use the dragon, Hiei." Kurama interjected.
Hiei nodded in agreement. "It is." He looked at Shizuru. "Fox, is it all right if we stay the night and get an early start in the morning?"
Kurama looked at Yomi, who shrugged. "I do not mind if they stay here for the night. There are guest rooms. I must get back to my hearing." Yomi sighed. "I'll give the two of you a month to make contact with some of these cities, especially the ones that I have literally no control over."
"We'll leave in the morning, then." Kurama said, looking over at Keiko, who smiled.
"Well, guys," Yusuke said with obvious reluctance, "I'd love to stay and chat with you, but I really need to check on my mother, Genkai, Toguro and Chuu. I only hope the castle is still standing."
Botan laughed, "Now Yusuke, I know you don't really think that they would tear down the castle, now do you?"
The others were delighted to hear an honest laugh out of Botan, ever since she had arrived from Reikai, she had been depressed. Nothing obvious, just constantly there. Yusuke said, "That's my gal." He gave her a quick hug when she blushed.
The four left, with a servant showing them the way to the roof even as Yusuke summoned Puu. "We'll see you guys in a month! Don't be idle while we're gone!" Yusuke called at them from Puu.
"Yeah, don't forget now! And Shrimp, you'd better take care of my sister!" Kuwabara yelled at him.
"Same goes for you, Baka!" Hiei replied.
When Yukina looked about to say something to her mate, Shizuru interrupted, "Sweethart, I don't think either of us will change them. They'll be like this even after years."
Yukina sighed. "But I can hope, can't I? That my mate and my brother will get along?"
"As the saying goes, don't hold your breath, but yes, you can hope." Shizuru replied. "Now get going, and take care of yourself."
Hiei nodded. "We'll see you in a month."
Yusuke had Puu take off and waved as they turned towards his castle.
"Shall we visit the marketplace?" Shizuru asked.
"Lets." Keiko agreed.
Touya looked at Moya, "Did you want to join them?"
"How about some food? We didn't get to eat any of the food that Kurama's mother had and I'm starved." Moya replied. "Then we can visit the market?"
Touya nodded. "Lord Kurama? Lord Hiei? May we withdraw?"
Moya was still trying to get used to her old schoolmate being a lord. She sighed when the two nodded at them, giving their permission. The two were about to walk off when Kurama stopped Touya and handed him a small pouch of gold.
"Buy her some garments as well." Kurama told him, "We do not know how long we will be here."
Touya nodded and the two left the palace and walked towards the inn
Hiei and Kurama just sighed. They knew that this was inevitable and just resigned themselves to their fate at the moment. Kurama felt for a pouch of gold that he had gotten into the habit of carrying once again. Hiei always did have a pouch full of gold on him. They both knew that their purses would be considerably lighter when they came back.
While at the marketplace, Kurama kept a sharp eye out for any pickpockets that were around and about, he had a message to deliver and knew that a pickpocket was the best way to do that. He finally stopped one who looked up at him. It was a boy, possibly in his early teens who looked up at him distrustingly. "Don't worry, I will not hurt you, boy. I need a message delivered."
"Who to?"
"Your masters. The Guild masters."
"Why should they listen to you?"
"Because I will make it worth their time." Kurama replied, reaching in to his purse. "Tell them that Youko wishes to speak with them regarding some very important matters." He gave the boy two silver coins. "Keep this one for yourself, the other one is for your masters only." He differentiated between them for the boy. "There are very troubling things going on and if we do not all wish to end up dead, your master will hear what I have to say. Tell them that."
"It's your head." The boy shrugged. "Guess I'm off. You're at Yomi's palace, right?"
Kurama nodded.
"I will see the message is delivered, what they do with it is out of my hands."
"I understand. I used to rank third in the guild and understand well how they operate." Kurama replied. "What is your name?"
The boy shrugged, "Tashan, why?"
"If this works out, I'd like to have you as my messanger for this mess." Kurama told him. "Now I know who to ask for." He watched the boy scamper off through the crowds, avoiding people with ease.
Hiei just said, "I hope you know what you are doing."
Kurama smiled slightly, "I do. I watched him for a full half-hour before catching him. His mind is quicker than his hands, it's why he's still just a pickpocket. Usually the guild moves them on from a pickpocket at twelve, only one's who've shown promise, but they can't figure out what to do with remain pickpockets after that age."
"I see. I worked for the guild from time to time, but only freelance work." Hiei said.
Keiko turned from the booth that she had been looking at, she had heard the whole conversation, but chosen to ignore it. "Well, if you are done with that business, maybe you can help me find something here? And I fully intend to be briefed on this conversation that seemed to go over my head."
Kurama went over to Keiko, "I was just making contact with the Thieve's guild, love. I'm going to need their cooperation. I was third in charge of the guild 20 years ago, it's barely the blink of an eye to us demons. I'm hoping that some of them remember me and trust me. We'll see either later tonight, or tomorrow."
Shizuru shrugged, "Shall we continue our shopping? I've only found a couple of things so far."
Hiei smiled very slightly. "Yes, we can. I think Kurama's done with that contact for now. Where did you want to look next?"
Keiko and Shizuru took one look at each other and promptly said, "Hair things!" Fortunately for Kurama, he remembered the layout and it hadn't really changed all that much in 20 years. They spent considerable time looking through the selection available and it went without saying that cutting it was an excersize in futility at best. They came away from that booth with a good collection, as well as some combs and brushes.
Shizuru had come back to the palace with almost a whole new wardrobe. Her tastes ran to more pants than Keiko's, but she still came back with a couple of the multi-colored shimmering dresses, including one identical to the one she was borrowing from Keiko. Her clothes were tending more to the form-fitting variety, rather than the loose, flowing stuff that Keiko preferred. Hiei assured her that was a tendancy of the fire demons, loose enough to move in, but no extra frills for the most part. She also got two cloaks like his, only not a black, but one a very pale blue and the other a darker, navy blue when Hiei just made a comment about how visible she'd be.
They had seen Moya and Touya from a distance, but not many of those in the market place ranked above a low B, so Kurama knew that Moya would be safe. Most thought that Keiko and he had mated quickly, when the truth was that Kurama had contemplated that very thing for years now. He had known that Yusuke and Keiko had never been a true couple, Kurama just needed to know what Keiko had thought of him to make that final move. Hiei as well, ever since the Dark Tournament and had been impressed with Shizuru, had thought about mating with her. None of their matings had really been spur of the moment. Touya was impressed, yes, now he needed to make his mind up on a decision that would last the rest of his life. Moya was only seventeen, they had time.
Hiei retired with Shizuru to the suite that they were assigned to, it was across the hall from Kurama and Keiko's.
Kurama arranged for Touya and Moya to have a suite with two bedrooms. He didn't know if they would share a bed or not, but he would make sure that Moya was protected as best he could. After which Kurama and Keiko withdrew to their own suite.
Keiko put her purchases away and made sure her new hair things were on the dressing table for the morning. "So when do you think the guild will get back with you?" She asked as she arranged the dressing table.
Kurama sat on the bed. "I'll have to hear something before I go to those towns that Yomi has no control in, otherwise we'll have no more influence than he. If I have the blessing of the guild, then we can take control of those towns. I wonder if they ever filled my position?"
"Probably not, but I don't know. Is it well known, what you did?" Keiko asked.
"It is a well known technique, but as well known as it is, it is very rarely used. The effects of this method are kind of unknown, and unique in each case." Kurama said. "I was surprised myself when this happened. It took longer than I thought to regain my true youko powers, but it did happen." He watched his mate as she brushed through her hair.
Keiko met her mate's eyes through the mirror and smiled at Kurama with more than a hint of mischief in her eyes. She slowly turned around on her seat and stood up, using her grace to make to movement as fluidly as possible. "So, what would my mate like?"
Kurama watched Keiko. She is a full vixen all right. He smiled, feeling himself get hard just looking at her. "Anything and everything."
Keiko slowly removed the belt from her waist and dropped it on the floor where it made a nice thump. Her dress was a simple pull over, so she couldn't draw out her strip tease as much as she wanted to, but Kurama was obviously enjoying what he was seeing from where her glance confirmed his hand was mildly caressing. The thought that he found her arousing enough to just look at was making her wet herself. She wondered if he would enjoy watching her. She went over to him and gently took his hands in hers, making him stand.
"What-?"
"Hush." Keiko told him. With a vixen's smile, she told him, "Keep your hands to yourself, until I tell you otherwise."
Kurama raised his brow at this, but nodded.
Keiko proceeded to undress him, keeping their skin contact to a minimum for now. She then went back in front of the mirror so that Kurama could see her backside as well as watch her front.
Kurama returned to the bed, laying down and ready to watch whatever Keiko had cooking in that mischeivious brain of hers.
Keiko reached down and pulled her dress up slowly, revealing her calves and legs. Both were just as trim as when she had been a human, just leaner. She continued up, freeing her tail, which she purposefully twitched, brushing the back of her legs, causing her to gasp in delight. She pulled free the bra like attachment of the dress and tossed the dress off to the side. She now stood, completely naked, in front of her mate. She felt shy about doing this, but wanted to. She had never touched herself before, but she knew where he had touched and how he had touched that brought her pleasure. She closed her youko eyes to give herself a little more courage, only to be stopped by Kurama's voice.
"Keiko, if you don't want to do this now, you do not have to." He stood and took her by the shoulders, causing her to look at him. "We have all the time in the world now. Let's just play with each other, don't force it."
Keiko smiled up at her mate. "Thank you. I wanted to do this for you, I thought I was ready, and you seemed to enjoy watching me, I thought I -" She was cut off from what she was going to say by Kurama tipping her face up and kissing her deeply.
Kurama released her mouth, trailing his lips down the column of her throat even as his hands wandered down to grip her hips and drew her nearer to him.
Keiko's arms went around his shoulders, exploring his back with her hands and lightly scraping her claws down his back, not drawing blood. She could feel his manhood trapped between them, very hard with a restrained urgency to it. She moaned into his mouth.
Kurama drew her back to the bed, having her sit down on the bed. He leaned her back, following her onto the bed, his hands exploring wherever they touched and his mouth nipping its way down her neck. He straddled her hips and brushed his tail along her legs, making her moan.
Keiko didn't quite think it was fair for him to be on top so she ever so quickly gave one good shove, pushing him onto his back and pinning his hands above his head. She grinned down at him.
Kurama willingly laid beneath her, not sure just what she had in mind, though from the grin he was probably going to enjoy this. She kissed him briefly on the lips before her mouth followed the same trail that his own had down his neck. He moaned loudly, knowing that no one could hear them so he could let go and not try to be quiet.
Keiko reveled in the sounds she was drawing from Kurama, but she wanted more. As much as she enjoyed being on top, she found she enjoyed being under him, too. She kissed her way down his pectoral muscles, causing his nipples to pebble up and teasing them lightly with her fangs. Her hand went to his hard manhood, slowly teasing him, but keeping one hand on his wrists.
Kurama decided that he had enough of the teasing, and from the smell of her own arousal, so had she. Kurama surged up, putting her on bottom again. "Enough, vixen." He held her hips in a solid hold, kissing her silver curls. He dampened one finger, exploring her wet depths and listening to her own cries of enjoyment as he kissed and nipped her bud. He, like her, did not find satisfaction in just bringing pleasure to her. Pleasure was meant to be shared between mates. He withdrew his hand and mouth, turning her over onto her stomach and onto her hands and knees.
Keiko moaned loudly as Kurama leaned over her and reached his hands around, playing with her breasts. Their tails somehow brushed each other, causing them both to moan at the contact.
Kurama moved one of his hands from her breast and down to her nub, where he rubbed, causing her to moan more. He regretfully moved her tail off to the side, the silkiness of it causing them both to moan as it brushed them. His hardness and her softness, caressed by her silky tail. He shifted, entering her with one swift stroke, after which, he held still, just caressing her breast and nub just above where they were joined. He heard her moaning, and felt her flexing her inner muscles, trying to get him to move. He crouched down, "Not yet, my vixen." He whispered hoarsely in her ear.
"Please, Kurama!" Keiko said loudly as she felt herself throbbing and knew that she was close to orgasm just from the stimulation and his being inside her.
Kurama smiled contentedly and just held himself still, wanting to feel her contractions around his shaft. He increased his ministrations and gave one forceful thrust, just as he felt her start to go over the chasm, increasing her pleasure, and his. As she calmed down, one of his hands went to her ears while his other remained at her breasts. He loved feeling her pebbles and softness in his hands.
Keiko moaned as she felt her ears being caressed and could not help it as she started moving underneath him.
Kurama removed his hand from her ears and trailed it down the back of her head, brushing down her throat and caressing the planes of her back. He started moving with her, slowly at first, but they both started moving faster and harder against each other. Kurama's hands went to Keiko's hips, holding her steady for his forceful thrusts now that her body could take his full strength, wringing cries of enjoyment from her.
Keiko realized on some level that he had never been this forceful with her and knew that she was now feeling the full force of a youko's mating, but the rest of her didn't care, it was feeling too pleasurable to question. She also never knew that she had quite this stamina for this activity, but it was being proved now as the sensations went on and on and she could feel herself coming closer to her climax and was finally thrown over the edge with a loud cry.
Kurama was right behind her as he thrust one last time and emptied himself within his mate with a groan. Kurama pulled out of her reluctantly as he fell off to the side and curled up with Keiko, spoon fashion. He pulled a blanket over them with the last of his strength, gave her a quick kiss and the two collapsed into sleep.
********************
&nb sp; Hiei smirked at Shizuru. He was glad they'd stayed in Gandistra this night. It was possible to have a full night of pleasure here, where in the woods it was not, and Mukuro's castle in Alaric was not the most peaceful local in the Makai either. You carried the risk that a messenger could knock on the door to your bedroom at any time with some urgent news or situation.
Shizuru was busy braiding her hair, not wanting to deal with the tangle issue in the morning. She was glad she had found equivalents to hair ties at the stall or else it would not have been possible for her to do this, and keep it up.
"Your hair looks even more like a flame, Shizuru." Hiei told her when she was finished tying it off.
Shizuru tossed it over her shoulder. "You really think so?"
Hiei walked over, touching the braid, which kept a transluscent effect on the edge, but had a core of the palest blue flame. "Yes, I really think so."
Shizuru turned around. "Hiei, just how much of a hybrid am I?"
Hiei dropped his hands and turned away from her. "I don't know. I know that I myself have very few koorime traits. Only time will tell."
Shizuru placed her hands on his shoulders and turned her to face him. "Will you stop acting as if you are supposed to have all the answers in the world? You don't, you know. And knowing that you don't, does not make you weaker, it means that you know that you are not perfect." Shizuru leaned forward and kissed him.
Hiei returned her kiss without hesitation and deepened it, pulling her off the stool and towards the bed. "Do you know how beautiful you are?" He finally asked her when he came up for air.
"I know what I look like in the mirror, and I know how attractive you find me, if that's what you mean." Shizuru playfully told him, cupping his manhood in her, smaller than they used to be, hands through his pants.
Hiei let his head fall back with a moan. Her heat went right through his clothing straight to his libido. He was far from what the humans would call a monk, but his mate brought out all of his passion when he had been rather restrained in the sexual area.
Shizuru went once more on the attack, licking her way down his now exposed neck as she removed his scarf. She noticed the air around them heating up, causing heat eddies in the air and it caused her to pause. "Ah, Hiei?"
Hiei brought himself out of the cloud of pleasure that she was causing. "Yes?"
"Is it normal for us to cause the air to get hot?" Shizuru asked tentatively.
"Why do you think we got assigned to a fire proofed room? This room has an enchantment on it to not allow anything in this room to burn, save for the fireplace. Shizuru, only between two fire demons can we really loosen the tight grip we have on our temperature and female fire demons are very rare, most of us are male. It will get much warmer in here before we are done, my mate."
"Hiei, anyone tell you that you're too serious?" Shizuru asked innocently, with her expression anything but.
"I think you just did. Or am I wrong?" Hiei asked back.
Shizuru kissed the mating mark she left on him, licking it and causing Hiei to moan. She pulled back just enough to remove his cloak and dropped it to the floor, now free to explore his arms, which she had always loved. She was wearing the pale blue cloak that she had gotten at the market over the dress that she was going to return to Keiko in the morning. As she continued to explore his arms, shoulders and chest, part of it through his tank top as he pulled her away from him so that he could remove her cloak.
Hiei more freely explored her shoulders, especially now that she was only a head taller than he was. He would have preferred getting taller, but her coming down to his height was acceptable as well. He kissed her ravenously, feeling her return his kiss with just as much hunger as he was displaying. Even he could feel the air getting warmer around them. He felt her hands moving to his belts, and moved his hands in suit. Belts fell to the floor in a loud clatter, followed by Hiei's pants, which had only been held up by the belts. He broke the kiss to gasp when her hands gripped the two globes of his ass and she kneaded them. "Shizuru . . ." He moaned.
Shizuru stepped back and pulled off her dress which had been left loose by the removal of the belt. Hiei removed his shirt as well.
Shizuru tapped his headband, careful to not tap the eye. "Can you remove this now?"
Hiei nodded. "Though I don't know if I can remove the ward on my arm." He reached up and untied his headband.
Shizuru studied his odd three eyed gaze. The two scarlet eyes, and then the one purple eye above them. She kissed him again, signifying that she still accepted him.
Hiei wrapped his arms around her, pressing their bodies together, which seemed to be giving off enough heat to light a furnace. He brought a hand up to her breast, kneading firmly, but gently. He thrust one of his legs between hers, feeling her wetness at the junction of her thighs which caused him to get even harder. He backed her up against the wall and used it to brace her. He never broke the kiss.
Shizuru felt the coolness of the stone behind her, but didn't pay it any mind with her mouth still being ravaged by Hiei's. She knew that he was not holding himself under the iron restraint that he had been priorly, but he was still being gentle with her.
Hiei moved one hand to her hip, holding her easily in place while his other hand moved to the junction of her thighs, testing her depths and causing her to moan. He smirked at her in male pride. He bent his head slightly, capturing her nipple in his mouth and sucking on it, even as his fingers played within her folds. He thrust one finger in and gasped at the heat and wetness he felt.
Shizuru gasped, "As much as I like that, I think you have something different to fill me with."
Hiei grinned back at her, "And what might that be, mate?"
Shizuru couldn't believe he was teasing her in quite this fashion, but reached her hands through the gap between their bodies, took his length in her hand and squeezed. "I think this might work better."
Hiei looked at her seriously for a moment. "Are you sure you don't want to be prepared a little more? You're a little smaller than you were."
Shizuru kissed him, "I'm sure. You haven't taken me ever since we mated, I need you Hiei."
Hiei kissed her, putting two fingers within her hot, slick core. She was wet enough, he just didn't want to cause her any discomfort. He removed his fingers and shifted so that his tip was nudging her entrance and then thrust in with one long, hard thrust, causing her to cry out. He held still as he saw the beginnings of tears in the courner of her eyes. He reached one hand up, gently caressing her cheek until she opened her own crimson eyes.
Shizuru met his own serious eyes with watery ones. She blinked rapidly, feeling the pain start to ease and getting replaced by a much more pleasurable feeling. "Hasn't quite felt like that ever since I lost my maidenhead."
"I warned you." Hiei felt her relaxing and could see the pain clearing even as it was being replaced with a much different sensation.
Shizuru moaned as Hiei gave a tentative thrust. "You did, but the pain is gone."
Hiei took this as a sign as he thrust into her, still slowly and carefully at first, though he didn't worry about his strength nearly as much. Her body could now take more then she could have as a human. He claimed her lips once again as she moaned loudly. He loved to taste his name coming from her lips almost as much as he loved causing it. He held her still as his hips started moving faster and harder within her depths.
Shizuru would have moved with him, but between the iron grip he held her in and the stone wall at her back, she was at his mercy. She leaned her head forward, resting her forehead on his shoulder, holding him closer to her by wrapping her arms around his shoulders, caressing his strong shoulderblades and locking her ankles around his hips.
Hiei wormed one hand between their bodies, playing with the nub just above their joined flesh, causing her to tighten around him and cry out. He felt her close to the edge and sped up his own thrusts.
Shizuru turned her head to the mating mark she had left on Hiei and bit down on it just as she felt her contractions around his shaft within her. His blood freely poured into her mouth briefly, intensifying her climax.
Hiei knew that he could not hold on for too much longer as he thrust in and out, feeling her milking his shaft. He gave a few more thrusts, then followed her over the edge, biting down on her mark and tasting her demon blood for the first time.
The two slowly came back to their senses. Shizuru thought the wall had been an interesting idea. Hiei, still joined with her, carried her over to the bed and layed them down.
"So how did you think of the wall?" Shizuru asked, still panting.
"Why, didn't you like it?" Hiei asked.
"Didn't say that, was just curious."
"It's just always been one of my favorite positions." Hiei shrugged, causing him to flex in her and she gasped. He smirked at her, "Ready for another round?"
Shizuru laughed at him playfully. "And here I thought that you weren't the insatiable one?"
"So I lied." Hiei shrugged it off, then turned more serious, "Though only with you, Shizuru." He kissed her deeply, rolling them so that she was on her back.
