Black Tears

CHAPTER TWO: TAKEN BY SURPRISE

Kakuzo dropped to one knee as he watched his master's every move. The large shadow demon held the black tear gem up and watched the thin rays of light that made their way through the opaque pearl. A low level of ki remained woven tightly around the gem. The shadow closed his eyes and soon the black ki was flipping around the pearl, snapping at the air like tiny whips.

"What is that Lord Sadatake?" Kakuzo asked, his ice blue eyes widening as he watched the sight before him.

"I'm using the ki left by the Forbidden Child to hunt down his location." Sadatake growled, closing his eyes and reaching out. "I can't pinpoint to an exact spot but I will find where hi energy is radiating from. But I want you to go and find him. And if there is more then one demon in the general area, take them all. One of them will be the demon we are looking for."

Kakuzo nodded slowly and allowed his master to finish his mental search. Suddenly the shadow demon's eyes snapped open. A grotesque smile split his face in two, fangs glistening in the dark. He snapped his fingers and a large portal opened up behind his minion.

"Through there." He motioned with a thin finger. "That portal will take you straight to the one we desire. Remember, I cannot pinpoint his exact youkai so take whatever demons are in the area."

Kakuzo nodded and leapt easily through the portal. There was nothing he liked better then a good fight.

"Hiei it's not that bad."

Kurama walked beside the pouting fire demon as they disappeared farther into the surrounding forest. It had been Yusuke's idea to do on this picnic since their last mission had gone so wrong. Without noticing, the kitsune raised his thin nimble fingers to rub the spot where his wound had been.

"Hn." Hiei grunted, snapping Kurama back to reality. "It's a ningen way of amusement. I don't have to partake in it to know it's going to be bad. I'm only here for you fox so make the most of it."

The kitsune grinned and wrapped his arms around the fire demon's shoulders and buried his face in his black hair. Hiei growled lightly and shook his head, trying to rid his locks of the fox. But all he resulted in doing was causing Kurama to laugh as his hair tickled the kitsune's face.

"You know I'm fine with this and all," Yusuke said, observing the two demon with a raised brow, "But I will never get used to seeing Hiei allow someone to treat him like that."

"Yeah!" Kuwabara yelped, lugging the picnic basket. "If I even look at you the wrong way you go all I'm-going-to-kill-you on me."

Hiei rolled his eyes and swatted at Kurama. The fox jerked back before the hand could make contact and chuckled to himself. Even if Hiei was elusive in public he knew that his little fire demon loved him. And that knowledge was enough for him.

"Just keep talking and I'm sure that can be arranged." The fire demon shot at the carrot-topped oaf.

Kuwabara's eyes widened and his voice left him, high pitched squeaks replacing it. Kurama clamped his hands over his ears, the sound driving deep into his sensitive fox ears. He cringed slightly and waved a desperate hand at the loud ningen.

"Please stop that awful noise." The kitsune begged. "You have no idea what it's doing to my ears."

Hiei glared daggers at the tall baka ningen for hurting his koi. But feeling Kurama place his hands on his shoulders, his anger slowly faded away. He just took to grunting and glaring. Yusuke chuckled and shook his head. When were those two going ever going to get along? It had been a long time since they first meet in Maze Castle and had argued ever since. It was like therapy for those two.

The group finally reached a small clearing in the forest and Yusuke spread out a thin blanket. Both him and Kuwabara flopped down quickly, settling with a loud sigh. Kurama grinned and slowly lowered himself to sit in the soft grass. He had always preferred to be one with nature when he got the chance. And besides, by releasing a minor amount of ki the grass would be softer then any blanket.

Hiei on the other hand was peering into the forest with narrow eyes. His hands moved slowly toward the white bandage around his head. Kurama shot to his feet and grabbed the fire demon's hands. Hiei jerked slightly and looked at the fox with wide eyes.

"Not here." He whispered so only Hiei could hear him. "Someone might see you, and then you get the fun of trying to explain your extra attribute."

Kurama smiled lightly and kissed his jagan lightly through the white band. The fire demon blushed lightly and shook his head to rid himself of the warmth. He was sure he had felt the strong ki of a strange demon. Giving Kurama a look, the kitsune nodded and turned back to their friends.

"Me and Hiei are going to go a bit deeper in the woods." The fox called over his shoulder. "Hiei says he has some kind of surprise to show me."

Both spirit detectives blinked slowly while Hiei jerked slightly. Kurama smiled, sure neither ningen would follow them into the forest now. He grabbed Hiei's hand and dragged the stunned fire demon deep into the wooded area. When they were far enough away from the others Hiei ripped his hand from Kurama's and set a death glare on the smiling fox.

"Baka kitsune." He growled. "Why'd you have to make me out to be the sentimental fool?"

Kurama shrugged. "I figured if they thought it was your surprise they would be more hesitant to follow. Your wrath would be greater then mine."

Hiei grunted and surveyed the area around him. The woods were thick, trees casting shadows that could hide any demon. He could see Kurama doing the same at his side.

"You felt him too right?" Hiei questioned his partner.

"Yes." Kurama nodded without turning to look at the small fire demon. "But I've seemed to have lost his ki. Maybe we were just imagining it."

"Both of us?" Hiei retorted. Both he and Kurama knew that was highly unlikely. What got him more was the fact that neither Yusuke or the ESP wielding baka Kuwabara hadn't felt it. It was like this demon was drawing him and the kitsune out here. His defensives automatically went up and his eyes darted around quickly.

After ten minutes of futile searching, both demons came up empty handed. From somewhere behind them they heard Yusuke bellow for them to come back before Kuwabara ate their share of the food. Hiei frowned. Like he wanted the damn food anyway.

"They're closer." Kurama pointed out. "Yusuke's trying to make it look like they're not following us by calling from a farther distance."

"Hn." Hiei grunted. "So what do you want me to do about it?"

Kurama smiled and dropped to his knees in front of the fire demon. He looked deep into Hiei's red eyes, his green ones sparkling like emeralds. The fire demon blinked dumbly and tried to pull away, but when the kitsune's fingers traced up the back of his neck to bury in his hair, he melted. A moan escaped him as Kurama's lips found his neck. The fox trailed small kisses up to the fire demon's ear and he whispered in a low voice.

"Let's give them what they came out here to see." Kurama's voice was thick with lust.

Hiei let out a whispery breath that was meant to be an agreement to the fox's idea. Kurama chuckled and grabbed his chin gently, forcing him into a passionate kiss. Their tongues dueled, neither wanting to submit, but both loving the attention of being dominated. The kitsune reached up and pulled the white scarf free from Hiei's cloak, allowing more of neck visible for his assault.

Kurama latched on to the sensitive skin where Hiei's neck met his shoulder. The fire demon threw his head back and let out a small cry of pleasure. Kurama had found his spot once more, driving him deeper into lust. If the fox kept it up Yusuke and Kuwabara would see more then they bargained for.

Just as Kurama's fingers danced at the bottom edge of his shirt a strong ki exploded in the area. Kurama cried out as ki slammed into his back seeming to hit him with the force of a brick wall. He sagged forward, emerald eyes drifting shut.

The shocked fire demon caught him, gently laying him to the ground. He looked up for the source of immense energy only to be slammed by another wave. Hiei gasped, the ki seeming to enter his body. His head swam, vision blurring slightly. He stumbled forward tripping ungracefully over the body of his unconscious lover.

"What the hell?" He muttered as he dropped to his knees. He couldn't be beaten like this, without even putting up the fight. Trying to push himself up, he gave a small groan and pitched forward.

Them demon that attacked them sauntered over and easily tossed Kurama over one of his shoulders. Hiei felt his whole body go cold. Not Kurama, this creature couldn't take his fox. Suddenly the demon stooped down and picked Hiei up as well. The fire demon grasped onto the last of wakefulness enough to utter two words to their grinning captor.

"Fuck you." And then black was all he knew.

~*~

"No!" Yusuke screamed running towards the portal that the demon had jumped through. Him and Kuwabara had been sneaking up on their two demon friends after hearing a pleasured moan come from Hiei. They had decided dying would be worth the look on the fire demon's face when they popped up from the underbrush.

But suddenly the two had been backwards by a release of amazing amount of energy. They heard Kurama cry out and then a strangled cry from Hiei. Yusuke had been on his feet in seconds, running in the direction of the screams. He had burst into the small clearing just in time to hear Hiei mutter a 'fuck you' and then the demon was gone through a portal to Makai.

Just as Yusuke reached the vortex it closed with a loud pop. He stopped short, panting from the small exertion. Adrenaline pumped steadily in his ears, drowning out all other sounds. Hiei and Kurama were gone, taken by another demon, to Makai. What the hell were they going to do?

The idea hit Yusuke like a ton of bricks. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny purple compact and flipped it open. Pressing a button the screen went fuzzy before Botan's confused face filled the view.

"Yusuke?" Her normally cheery voice was bogged down by worry. "What's wrong? You know this communicator is only for emergencies."

"That's what this is!" Yusuke screamed at the ferry girl. "It's Hiei and Kurama. Some freaky demon just took them to Makai! We need talk to Koenma right away!"

The ferry girl gasped but nodded quickly. Her violet eyes seemed to water up.

"I'll be right there to pick you up." She spoke quickly. "Don't worry Yusuke, we'll find them."

Yusuke nodded and flipped the compact shut. Kuwabara walked over and stood beside the spirit detective. Both stared at the spot where the portal had just been, the worse thoughts running through their mind. Demons were bad news normally, cut throat and straight to the point. They didn't keep their enemies around longer then they had to. Yusuke's hands curled into tight fists. If anything happened to Hiei or Kurama he would take the blame himself.

"Hey don't worry about them." Kuwabara suddenly spoke. "Those two are too stubborn to allow themselves to be killed that easily."

Yusuke was startled by Kuwabara's almost unheard of intelligence and concern for the fire demon's welfare. Neither was usually seen from the tall oaf. But the notion settled well with the once dead spirit detective. He forced a grin and sat down waiting for Botan to arrive.

"You're right, they'll be okay." He sighed glancing once more at the area of the portal. The uneasiness returned.

At least they better be alright. He thought miserably, settling in for the wait.

Next chapter- Kurama wakes up and finds out Kakuzo and Lord Sadatake's plan. He makes a desperate decision to save his love, but will Hiei go along with the plan? Will the fire demon even find out the plan? All that and more in the next installment!
