Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Aftermath ❯ Aftermath ( Chapter 1 )

Yusuke opened his eyes with a groan. He could feel heat on either side of him, but not above him. He also felt strangely sore. He glanced to his sides and saw his teammates, his friends, lying next to him, almost on top of him, completely naked. The remembrances of the game suddenly came back to him, eliciting another, louder groan. Neither of the demons stirred at the noise. He glanced down to his body, the traitorous thing, to see the results of the game still on his bare belly. He let his head fall back to the floor, groaning again. `Fuck, what the hell was I thinking? I wasn't, that's the answer. Oh, fuck!' Kurama's soft voice calling his name pulled him from his self-recriminations and into embarrassment. Reluctantly, he turned to meet the now open green eyes.

 

Kurama knew exactly when Yusuke woke, and he knew Hiei knew it too. Without speaking, the two had already decided that Kurama would be the one to talk with Yusuke, to ease the inevitable feelings of guilt and shame the boy would experience. “Yusuke,” he began softly when the boy's eyes met his, “I won't say I'm sorry because I'm not. I also don't want you to be sorry either.” He brought his hand to the other's cheek, smiling softly, “It's been some time since anyone's made me beg, you should know that, Yusuke.” The tantei reddened as the kitsune continued, “I've been thinking about you for a while and the game seemed like the opportunity to see if you were open to the idea. I was a little surprised at what you confessed for your fantasy, I have to admit, but it made me think I had a chance, so I pursued it. I don't want you to regret anything, Yusuke.”

 

The dark haired detective looked at the ceiling again, trying to sort things through in his head. “But what about Keiko?” he asked softly. He closed his eyes, his expression pained, “I didn't even think about her once.”

 

“Do you think about her when you masturbate?” the red head asked.

 

“Sometimes, but…” Yusuke took a deep breath and turned to make eye contact with Kurama, “None of this goes anywhere, right?”

 

The red head nodded solemnly, “None of what happened tonight goes anywhere at all, nothing that happened, nothing that was said.”

 

Yusuke could feel the color rising to his cheeks as he continued his confession, “Whenever I think about sex with Keiko, it usually ends up that she's beating me up. I just can't imagine sex with her being anything else.”

 

“Is that something you want?” Kurama asked gently, trying to help the detective sort things out in his own head.

 

Yusuke chewed on his lip for a moment, “Not really. I mean, I find her attractive and like her a lot and all that, but I don't want to be beaten up during sex, y'know.” He glanced over and saw green eyes watching him intently, compassionately. “I get pounded on enough as it is.”

 

Kurama's fingers again sought out Yusuke's cheek, lightly running up his neck on their way. “I understand,” the red head stated, watching as Yusuke unconsciously leaned into his touch. “What is it you do want, Yusuke?” The question was potentially dangerous, but it had to be asked.

 

“Fuck, I don't know,” the detective gusted. “If I knew the answer to that, I would go after what I want, you know me well enough to know that.” The kitsune smiled at him and he continued, “I really did enjoy….well…not the first part of the game, but that last part. I really did enjoy sex with you two.” The tantei's cheeks were bright red and warm under Kurama's fingers. “I guess I need to think things through. What do you want, Kurama?” For some reason, he just had to know. The kitsune had confessed this was his idea, so now what?

 

Kurama propped his head up on his hand, considering the question. “I want us to still be friends, I think that goes without saying.” He waited for Yusuke to nod before continuing, “I really enjoyed the sex, as well. I wouldn't object to an encore, or even more, if you wanted it, but I'm not going to pursue it unless you tell me I can. Neither of us will. But, that is your choice to make, Yusuke, not ours.”

 

Yusuke turned to look at the koorime on his other side, “Hiei?”

 

The black haired demon regarded the tantei. “He speaks for both of us,” was the extent of his comments.

 

Yusuke's eyes returned to the ceiling as he tried to process his feelings and what the two demons had said. Not getting anywhere, feeling dirty and sticky, and reluctant to loose the physical contact with the two, he suggested, “Why don't we take a shower?”

 

“Just one shower? The three of us?” Kurama asked, a teasing note in his voice. Yusuke blushed deeply and nodded. “Alright, then. Be careful getting up, Yusuke, you're going to be sore.”

 

The detective looked at the kitsune with a look of confusion that melted into understanding and pain as he attempted to sit up. “Holy fuck!”

 

“That would be the cause,” Kurama returned, his voice shaking with mirth. He stood up and held out a hand to the boy. Yusuke took it and allowed the kitsune to pull him up. Kurama continued to pull until Yusuke was against his chest. He wrapped his arm around the detective and began to massage his lower back. “You'll feel better soon. The first time's always the worst, though.”

 

Yusuke tensed momentarily when the red head pulled him into an embrace but relaxed when the kitsune's clever fingers began to ease the pain in his lower back. He allowed his head to rest on the other's shoulder, his arms going loosely around his waist. He was vaguely aware of Hiei leaving the room when the fox slapped him on the butt. “Hey!” he squawked in protest.

 

“Shower, and I am not going to carry you there.” He laughed at the pout that graced Yusuke's face. He did enjoy the feel of the boy's body against his own, but until the detective answered, he wasn't going to push. That also involved avoiding temptation, and the dark haired detective was more than enough of that. Yusuke turned to walk, but kept one arm loosely around the red head's waist.

 

Hiei had gone into the bathroom to start the water and make sure there were towels for the three of them. There were times he envied the kitsune's ability to articulate what he thought. Had he tried to talk to Yusuke, his natural taciturnity would have probably caused the boy to have regrets which would have jeopardized their working relationship as well as their friendship. They were partners, and if they could not trust each other, they would not be able to work together effectively. While the fox had a way with words, Hiei choose action to express himself. He allowed a small smile to cross his face when he saw the two walk sideways through the bathroom door, Yusuke refusing to let go of Kurama's waist. His smile grew slightly when the detective's free arm snaked around his shoulders.

 

Yusuke couldn't have explained it, but he felt more secure when he was in contact with the two demons. His thoughts, however, were still riled and confused. What did it mean? Was it going to last? How would he feel tomorrow? He couldn't answer any of those questions, try as he might. All he was sure of at this moment was that he wanted to be near the two who had taken him, that he felt bereft when Hiei had left and he couldn't bear the idea of Kurama leaving. `Fuck, why does this have to be so difficult?' he thought to himself as he stepped into the shower.

 

Reluctantly, Yusuke let go of the kitsune, turning his back against the taller boy's chest as he wrapped both arms around Hiei's shoulders, pulling the koorime's back against his chest. He smiled slightly as the red head wrapped his arms around him. The kitsune nuzzled his hair and suggested, “Tell us what you're thinking, Yusuke.”

 

The brown eyed boy sighed, “Well, I'm confused. I don't want to let go of either of you, it feels wrong. But, how long will that last? What does it mean? I don't know…I'm not sure….why is this so difficult, Kurama?”

 

Thinking quickly and speaking slowly, the fox asked, “Who did you fantasize about, Yusuke?” He could feel the tantei's face warming next to his cheek.

 

“I…uh…I would fantasize about you two…” his voice trailed off.

 

The kitsune's heart leapt at this confession. `He does want to pursue a relationship!' the red head's mind rejoiced. `But, first things first.' “Yusuke, what are you afraid of?”

 

Yusuke bowed his head, his nose coming to rest in Hiei's hair as he spoke quietly, “That Kuwabara will freak, that Keiko will freak and beat me up, that you guys won't wan….that I can't decide which….that…that…” he took a deep breath, trying to control the shaking he felt overcoming him. He felt Hiei turn in his arms.

 

“Detective,” the fire demon began, waiting for Yusuke to pull his face out of his hair before continuing, “you don't have to decide between the two of us.”

 

Yusuke's eyes went wide as he stared at the petite koorime, “I don't?”

 

Kurama chucked, “No, we're quite happy to share, if that's what you want. And as for us not wanting you, I do believe we've disproved that already.” Yusuke turned to look at the kitsune over his shoulder. “Hiei wouldn't be here if he didn't want to be and you wouldn't be here if I didn't want you to be,” he explained.

 

“But the others?” Yusuke asked, his voice unsure.

 

“It's up to you if they know, what they know. We won't discuss anything. Everything that happened will remain between the three of us.”

 

Yusuke closed his eyes, thinking, “If…if I'm gonna do this,” he began, opening his eyes, “If we're going to do this, I'm not gonna hide. I've always lived how I want to, why stop now.”

 

“Then,” the kitsune summed up, “it's just a matter of if you want this, then, isn't it, Yusuke?”

 

The brown eyed detective looked over his shoulder to the green eyed kitsune and down to the red eyed koorime. He reached a decision. “I wanna try this out, see how it works. I like both of you. I wanna see if we…well…I wanna do it.” His cheeks were pink at this, but his eyes were determined.

 

Hiei reached up and pulled the boy into a possessive kiss, claiming what was his. Only the cold water hitting his back caused him to pull back reluctantly. “Let's hurry and get out of here,” he murmured, reaching for the soap. Before the detective to react, the koorime began soaping the front of his body, passing the soap to Kurama so the fox could finish the other half of the tantei. The demons' eyes met with a mischievous sparkle as they both rubbed up against the detective, using the soap on his body to clean their own. Hiei smirked as he felt Yusuke's body begin to respond to the feel of the soap slicked bodies rubbing against his. A wicked glint in his eye should have warned the boy something was coming, but his eyes were closed. A startled gasp escaped him as he was pulled forward into the cold stream of water.

 

“Hey, you could turn on the hot, y'know!” Yusuke protested.

 

“It was warm when we got in,” Hiei countered.

 

Kurama gasped as he too passed through the frigid rain, “Fine, next time, we take a bath!”

 

Hiei added as he turned off the water, “Besides, he's not really up for any more tonight, anyways.”

 

Yusuke protested, “Who says I'm not?”

 

In answer, the koorime slid an arm around the detective's waist, slid his hand between his lower cheeks and pressed a finger against the puckered hole he found there. Yusuke hissed in discomfort at the touch. “That says your not.” He pulled the curtain and handed out towels before stepping onto the bath mat. “Let's get some sleep. In the morning, we'll figure out how to break the news to the baka and Keiko.” With that, he dried his hair off quickly and left the room.

 

Yusuke turned to look at Kurama. The fox pulled him into a gentle kiss, “He is right, you know. We will have more time to explore later. For now, sleep is a good thing.” He pulled the towel over his head, effectively ending the conversation.

 

Yusuke sighed, and dried off his own hair before stepping out of the tub and returning to Kurama's bedroom. He saw Hiei in the bed already, his back pressed against the wall, waiting. Kurama walked in behind him, pressing against the small of his back, guiding him to lie down. Yusuke couldn't help but to smile as the two demons wrapped their arms around him, each kissing a cheek and whispering good night. He returned their good night wishes, turning to kiss each lightly on the lips before allowing his eyes to close and sleep to over take him.
