I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho... just Chantelle!!
*****
Chantelle set the book she was trying to read aside for what felt like the hundredth time. She had had another minor crying fit only moments before, and had tried to sleep to no avail. She was totally exhausted and wanted nothing more than to sleep for a week, but she just couldn't. And when she somehow DID manage to fall asleep, she wound up experiencing the nightmares and woke up, too afraid to fall asleep again. And the cycle continued. She had only been in this world for four days... so why did it feel like she'd been here for an eternity already?
She was about to try forcing her mind to go blank for the millionth time, just sitting on the edge of her bed, staring straight forward, when the knock came at her door.
Relieved at the distraction, however temporary it might be, she gave the affirmative. When the door opened, Jin stepped into the room, his wide golden eyes blinking twinkling and a grin on his face as he gave her a greeting wave.
“Hey there! I just thought I'd come give my favorite girl a visit before it gets too late...” Then he blinked, looking at her. He saw that her eyes were slightly puffy. “Are you okay?” he asked, coming forward immediately.
She took in a shuddering breath... a sure sign that she had been crying only a moment or so before he came in. “Not... really...” she answered, not bothering to try and hide it. Her appearance had definitely given it away already anyway.
He sat down beside her on the bed, his expression now concerned as he looked at her. “You've been crying?” It wasn't really a question and they both knew it.
She sighed. “Almost nonstop. It just... seems to come out of nowhere.” She shook her head. “I'm a wreck, Jin... I can't eat, I can't sleep, and when I DO sleep...”
He nodded, placing a hand on her own. “Chu told us about the nightmares.”
She nodded. “I figured he would. I can't focus at all. Every time I try reading one of those books, nothing sticks. I can't make any sense of it. I can't...” Ah, shit, she thought. Here comes another crying fit...
Jin saw it coming on the second she realized it herself, and before she knew it, he was holding her tight against him. She immediately started crying all over again, despite her attempts to keep it from happening. His strong arms held her close and her face was in his chest as she sobbed for a few minutes. His mouth was up by her ear as he hushed her soothingly and gently rocked her back and forth, his hands rubbing up and down her back. She just clung to him as her sobs tapered off and she spent a moment trying to compose herself, basking in his warmth. Then she slowly pulled away from him. His hands were on her shoulders as he looked at her.
“I'm sorry, Jin...”
He shook his head. “Don't ya be apologizin' for anything. Ya didn't do anything wrong. And besides... we told ya... if ya need anything, we're all here for you.”
She gave a shuddering sigh. “I know... and thankyou.”
His right hand came up and brushed a few stray tears away, a gentle smile coming to his lips as he looked at her. Something about the way he looked at her sent her heart up in her throat. “I can't stand ta see you like this... tears should never fall from the eyes of such a beautiful woman as you,” he said, his voice low now. His hand came down from her face, gently brushing along the front of her body before settling on her hips. The feeling of his fingers sent a feeling akin to an electric shock charging through her body.
She took in a sharp breath. “J... Jin...”
“Shhh...” He gave her a heart melting smile as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. “Ya need something, Chantelle. Something that'll take your mind off of the terrible feelings that are overwhelming you. You need something that will make you FEEL good... and I want to be the one to relieve you of that pain. By doing this.”
Jin closed the distance between them and he pressed his lips against her own as he pulled her up against him. His hands started going up and down her back gently, and then moved to her sides, causing another surge of pleasure to surge through her. In that instant, her hesitation fled. Feeling the pleasure that his touch gave her immediately concealed the pain she had been feeling the last few days, and she decided that he was right. She DID need this. Before she knew what was happening, she was returning his kiss.
The Wind Master gently lowered her onto the bed, never breaking his lip to lip contact with her. One of his hands went down her front, and cupped her left breast and she let out a moan.
But then, an instant later, Jin's mind was filled with a memory... of when they had saved her from Matt... and how she had revealed her past abusive relationships. And not only that, but also the time when she had revealed she was a virgin... and strangely, although it should have made him desire her all the more (as it had for a long time), this time, it made him pause. There was a reason she had been waiting for it... she was wanting a man who would treat her right... a long term relationship. Right now, she was simply vulnerable, her emotions a jumbled mess, and all she wanted was some sort of relief to make her forget her troubles for the shortest amount of time. She wanted ANYTHING to take away the pain she was feeling. He knew in that instant that this was a mistake. She DID want someone... and even though she was willing right now to be with him, it was merely to distract her mind, and in the end, it would hurt her all the more.
He broke the contact, and looked down at her face. She was breathless from the kiss and his sensitive ears could hear her heart hammering in her chest. She opened her eyes and looked at him, blinking when she saw his own expression.
“Jin?”
He sighed and sat up. “I'm sorry... I can't do this to you.”
She blinked curiously and sat up with him. “Do what?”
He looked at her and sighed again. “Listen, Love. I know you're hurting... and right now you would give anything to make that pain go away. Even if it meant trading it in for only a few moments for a bit of pleasure. I know you think this is what you want right now... and it very well might be... but not with ME.” He smiled at her. “You've held yourself back from doing this with a man because you wanted to be sure that it was a man that you truly had feelings for... a man that you knew would be right for you. Now, although in most cases I'm a trustworthy man, I'm a little too lustful for you to fully trust in the relationship area. And if ya do this now... it'll only hurt you all the more in the end.”
She looked disappointed, but she didn't argue. She understood what he was saying, so she simply nodded silently.
He cleared his throat and got to his feet. “Well... I suppose I should leave ya be with that, then...”
As he started to head for the door, Chantelle's eyes widened and she reached out to stop him, taking a hold of his hand. “Jin, wait!”
He blinked and looked down at her. “What is it?”
She sighed. “Would you... could you just... hold me for a while? Until I fall asleep?”
The Wind Demon blinked again, seeing the circles under her eyes and her pale face. She was exhausted, and if she had the ability to fall asleep on her own, she would have already. He smiled and nodded, sitting beside her once again. “Sure.” He took her into his arms and held her head against his chest, while his other arm went around her waist and he held her close to him.
She basked in his warmth for long moments, her eyes sliding shut as they stayed in that position, the Wind Master privately basking in her own warmth as he held her tightly against himself. After a good five minutes passed, he heard her even breathing and the slow beat of her heart, indicating she was now asleep. Suppressing a regretful sigh, he gently lowered her down onto the bed once more and covered her with the blankets.
Looking at her peaceful features as she slept, he couldn't help it as a mischevious grin crossed his face and he decided to indulge himself just one last time with the beautiful woman. Leaning forward, he very gently placed his lips against hers for the span of a few seconds before he pulled away with a sigh of relief. Then he quietly shut off the light and left the room.
As he closed the door behind him, he jumped when he heard a voice.
“Well, that didn't take very long...”
He turned and saw Toya leaning against the wall, his arms crossed as his icy eye regarded him cooly.
Jin sighed. “I just couldn't do it. She was more than willing, but...” he shook his head. “I know she would have wound up regretting it if we had done it, and I couldn't stand the thought of hurting her more.”
Toya smirked. “She still awake?”
He shook his head. “Nah. I got her ta sleep.” He stretched. “Which is what I'm on my way to do right now. It's gettin' late.”
The ice master shrugged. “Good night then.”
Jin nodded. “Goodnight. See you in the morning.”
He shook his head. “She'll only sleep for a few hours before a nightmare wakes her. I intend to be here to wake her when it strikes.”
The Wind demon shrugged. “Alright. She's all yours then. Goodnight, Toya.”
The Ice Demon nodded. “Good night.”
Only an hour passed before the Ice Master heard her start to cry out in her sleep and he entered the room. He saw her on the bed, sleeping restlessly, her head turning back and forth as she tried to stave off the nightmare that was consuming her. He listened to her cry out for her mother and father before he nodded to himself and stepped forward, sitting on the edge of the bed and shaking her awake.
The woman sat bolt upright in her bed, her eyes going wide as she gasped for breath. Toya could almost hear her heart hammering insanely in her chest and tears brimmed her eyes. The instant she was upright, he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her close to him, hushing her gently, his hands trailing up and down her back. She immediately gripped the front of his clothes and had her face buried in his chest while she sobbed a few minutes. The Ice Master's mouth was right up by her ear as he whispered soothingly to her and shushed her gently. Soon she simply clung to him, only giving out the occassional shudder.
Then she slowly pulled away, looking up at him hesitantly. “Thank you, Toya.”
He allowed a small smile to come to his lips as he nodded to her. “It was no problem. I was in the area.” He had one hand on her waist and the other on her left shoulder. The hand on her shoulder came up and wiped some of her tears away. “You look like a wreck.”
She almost smiled, but just couldn't quite bring herself to do it. “That's probably an understatement...”
He put on an expression he knew was very effective in getting a woman's attention... a smirk with his brows furrowed slightly, but his eyes still icy as always. Seductive and yet slightly dangerous. “I didn't mean it to sound like you're in any way unattractive. You just look very tired and a little pale. You're still absolutely beautiful.”
Her heart almost skipped a beat when she saw the expression and she felt a flush of heat go through her face as he looked at her. His smirk only widened.
“Ah, now you've got some color back in you.” He cupped her face with his hands, making sure the hand that came from her hip just barely contacted with her front, evincing a slight shudder from her. “Shall we see if I can get some more color back in those cheeks of yours? Or would you like to give me another reaction?” He brought his face forward and very gently brushed his lips against her own.
Chantelle was shocked for a few precious seconds. First Jin, and now Toya? She almost wondered at the strangeness of the timing, but when his tongue gently brushed against her lips and she gasped in surprise, any further speculation was forgotten. A moan escaped from her lips as his tongue immediately entered her mouth and started to explore tentatively. He broke the contact for a few seconds as he lay her down on the bed once again and leaned over her, bending his face close to her own. He kept a seductive smile on his lips.
“Although I may be an ice demon, I also have another little known talent... I have the ability to make a woman very... hot...” he said huskily, his hand coming up to brush her breasts, immediately being rewarded by another moan. He brought his lips down to her own again and continued to work his magic with her body, taking care to torment her slightly by leaving on her clothes and dragging it out as long as possible. He slowly started to maneuver down with his lips, sending butterfly kisses down her throat as his hand slowly started to make its way under her shirt.
But then, in that instant, he, like Jin, was struck by an image in his mind... the same ones as Jin had had. How she had revealed her past abusive relationships after her encounter with Matt and the time when she had revealed she had not yet lost her virginity. Like Jin, he immediately paused, the same realization dawning on him that this might not be the best idea. If she should regret this action tomorrow, it would most definitely make her pain increase, and that was not what he wanted.
He pulled away immediately, cursing himself for his stupidity. “Damn. I'm an idiot... What the hell am I doing?”
Chantelle looked at him. “Whatever it is, I approve!”
He looked at her with his icy eyes. “Will you be able to say that when you wake up tomorrow morning... when you realize that you've lost your virginity to me? I'm not a relationship kind of guy, although the thought has crossed my mind on the rare occasion. Do you really want to lose your virginity due to a one night stand, Chantelle?”
Hearing the words and seeing his now cool expression, she almost felt on the verge of tears once more. But she understood what he was saying. And he was right. No matter how much she wanted to feel something other than the pain, she couldn't just cave in to the pleasure he was offering her. She wanted something, yes... but not from Toya. She wanted it to come from... HIM...
Toya saw her tormented expression and sat beside her on the bed slowly, pulling her against him to just hold her a few minutes. “I'll stay with you until you go to sleep, and then I'll let myself out.” he said gently.
She just nodded into his chest silently and let him hold her.

Standing on a high branch in the courtyard of the Palace, Hiei smirked, replacing his headband back over his third eye. He knew those two would be stricken with guilt with his little ploy. With their advances on her, they had made the woman's desire for sexual release all the greater, but at the same time, the way they stopped themselves lowered her options, and would continue to bring her thoughts to a certain Kitsune. The first phase of his plan was complete. Now he had to start phase two.
He stood there for a few moments, focusing once more with his eye and saw as Toya layed the now sleeping girl down once again and left the room wordlessly. Then he jumped from the tree he had been standing in and started to make his way to the pond in the courtyard.
He saw Kurama standing beneath a tree, leaning against its trunk with his arms hanging limply at his side as he just looked over the water, his back turned to the fire demon. He knew Kurama knew he was there.
“Can I help you with something, Hiei?”
He got right down to the point. “You can't keep doing this. She's hurting and she needs you, Kurama.”
“I can't see her. That would only hurt her more, after what I've done to her.”
Hiei snorted. “Her condition can't get much worse, trust me. You wouldn't know this, seeing as how you haven't even looked in on her once since we returned, but she is a total wreck right now. She can't keep her food down, she can't sleep, and when she does sleep, she suffers from nightmares. I have not seen her smile once in the past three days. She's in a complete daze when she's not having a breakdown, and her studies of our earth are going nowhere. She simply can't focus. I'll also have you know that in all the time that we've been seeing her, even with her knowing that you were the one who killed Bonkotsu, she didn't say a single thing that suggests that she harbors any ill feelings toward you at all. In fact, she's upset because you WON'T come see her.”
“Chantelle's not the kind of person who would speak badly about anyone... especially to the friends of the person in question. But inside she must hate me.”
The fire demon shrugged, a motion unseen by Kurama. “If you say so. Then I guess there's no harm in me telling you the most recent developments. You see, needing a way to relieve her of her pain, Jin and Toya both decided to try their hands at seducing her tonight.”
THAT got Kurama's attention. He had to smirk when she saw him stiffen. When he spoke, his voice was low and held a very real threat. “They what?”
He waved it off. “You don't need to worry. She's still a virgin. The both of them seem to think that she would only be hurt more if either one of them were the ones to take her. They started out with the intentions in mind, but stopped themselves before it got anywhere.”
The fox demon seemed to relax slightly hearing this, and Hiei could hear him breathe a small sigh of relief.
He smirked once more. “I, on the other hand, figure that if physical pleasure will cause her to forget her problems if only for a short while, then it's worth the sacrifice, wouldn't you agree? So... I'm going to try my own luck with her... but unlike last time, I intend to go all the way.”
Kurama whirled, his eyes ablaze with rage immediately. “You wouldn't DARE!!”
Hiei's gaze turned hard. “The way I see it, Kurama, you lost any right you may have had to complain about that particular issue. She needs someone to be close to her right now, and if YOU'RE not going to give her that, then I will. It's that simple. Would you rather she continue to live in misery? You haven't had to see her ekeing by from day to day, but I have, and I'm not just going to stand around and watch as her condition worsens. Her mental state is rapidly deteriorating, and her health is going to go on a downward spiral as well if someone doesn't do something. Do you want that to happen to her?”
His teeth gritted together a moment before he sighed heavily. “No.”
He smirked. “I thought not.” Then he turned. “I just thought you'd like to know what's been going on since you haven't come to see for yourself. I'll leave you be now. Goodnight, Kurama.”
The fire demon walked away without another word, smirking as he did so. He would leave Chantelle be for tonight. She needed the small amount of sleep she was going to be getting, and having three men seduce her in one night would be more likely to stress her out than anything else. So he decided tomorrow night... that was when he was going to put the last part of his plan into motion. It was time for the final phase of his plan to go into motion.
