Hiei didn't hesitate in moving as the blast was hurled towards the Detective, even a moments delay would have cost Yusuke his life for the third and likely final time. Time seemed to slow as he pushed himself to his limits, straining to reach the man before the blast engulfed him. Thankfully this time however he was in time, throwing his body against his team leader and throwing him clear of the danger zone. He himself however was not so lucky. The blast hit him in the shoulder, a glancing blow to be certain but as the metallic scent of his own blood tainted the air he realized that this could be bad, very bad. Once more his dominant arm had been rendered virtually useless. A fatal condition in a fight such as this one. Still, the famed forbidden child would not go down without a fight. With his left hand he ripped the ward off of the Jagan fully prepared to use the eye's influence to his advantage against the scum who had managed to score a hit on him.

Pain seared through his body as Yusuke hit the ground roughly, rolling on instinct and coming back to his feet before the enemy had a chance to capitalize on his prone state. His eyes widened as he stared at Hiei, his upper body bared to the sun light illuminating all too well the crimson blood the poured from the wound on his shoulder. "Hiei!" Even wounded the apparition had placed himself in between their opponent and Yusuke, a fact that was not lost on the Detective even if he didn't quite understand it himself. Of course, the hybrid had done so on more than one occasion which often made the Toushin wonder just what he had done to warrant such protection from the normally cold demon.

"Spirit gun!" Reiki filled the air as Yusuke took down yet another demon hellbent on ending their lives, this one would have taken Hiei out while he was busy with the one who had managed to injure him. So far the hybrid was managing to hold his own but Yusuke wasn't stupid. He could easily see the signs of Hiei weakening, the demon's complexion even paler than normal and the slight sway in his stance. The apparition was about to go down and there were too many enemies for Yusuke to take down on his own. If only the others would show up but at the moment he had little to no hope of seeing Kurama or Kuwabara. He had to do something fast.

Hiei felt the Detective appear at his side but he didn't spare the man a glance, instead concentrating on trying to hold the demon in the Jagan's grasp. It was slowly overpowering the eye's influence though as his control continued to slip. Strong arms wrapped themselves around his waist, yanking him backwards just in time as the restraints on the beast snapped. "What are you doing Detective?" It wasn't that he was ungrateful for the action but his pride demanded he put up at least some show of displeasure. It also didn't help that Yusuke had completed the final step necessary to seal the third stage of ritual courtship with that action but that was something he would brood over later, assuming they survived this encounter.

"Returning the favor Hiei. As much as I hate to say it, we gotta get out of here." Not willing to hear any protests coming from the smaller demon Yusuke took off running, pulling Hiei along side of him. He wouldn't humiliate the apparition by insisting on carrying him unless the demon lost consciousness. For the moment Hiei could run even if it wasn't anywhere near his normal speed. It was enough for the moment, that was all that mattered. Yusuke could have sworn he felt the enemy's breath ghosting along his neck as he ran but he dared not look back. It was enough that he could hear the thunderous footsteps behind him as the beast continued to gain speed. What it lacked in intelligence it certainly made up for in size and strength. The armor plating surrounding its body just made it all that much more difficult to kill.

Taking a chance he changed courses, darting into the forest in hopes that the trees would slow the creature down enough for them to find a place to hole up. Tress crashed to the ground behind them but the sounds were coming from farther away. For the moment at least his gamble was working but now wasn't a time to slack off. Tthe scent of blood was heavy in the air, calling to him threatening to awaken his Mazuko blood once more. Although that would put an end to the beast trailing them, he didn't want to contemplate just how Hiei's injury might affect his instincts. 'There!' He'd almost missed it but one of the shadows on the mountainside caught his eye. It wasn't much but the depression into the rock might be a good place to seek shelter in. "Just a little further Hiei." A grunt was his only answer as the approached the crack in the stone.

It wasn't much, barely wide enough for a man to stand in but it was deep which was the important part. Not listening to any objections, Yusuke insisted Hiei go in first before following the apparition inside. He was the only one capable of defending their sanctuary at the moment, a good shot gun blast to the eyes might make the beast think twice about trying to force them out. Oh how he longed to shut his eyes for even ten minutes and take a desperately needed rest but it wasn't something he had the luxury of. Stripping off his shirt he began to tear it into strips suitable for bandaging even as Hiei leaned against the wall for support.

Watching the Detective critically, he made no protest as the man came forward, his intent clear. If nothing else accepting the Toushin's aid might well keep him from bleeding to death while they waited for their backup. Wordlessly he stood once more, trying not to pay attention to the feel of the warm hands that caressed his skin while wrapping the bandages. It was unnerving, the feel of calm that enveloped him as Yusuke took care of his injuries as best as he could. He couldn't help but groan as he realized that it was starting, now that courtship had been established it was only a matter of time before things got out of hand. Worse yet was the fact that Yusuke didn't even know what he was now involved him. Not for the first time he cursed the Fire Apparition blood that coursed through his veins, if only he had taken the Koorime side then he wouldn't have to worry about taking a mate and any rituals that came with it. 'I may go back to the Koorime Island and burn every one of those bitches for the hell of it. This cannot be happening to me!'

"Hang in there Hiei, the others should be here. Any time now." Yusuke wanted to believe it but when the group had been separated he hadn't expected them to be gone this long. 'Where the hell are they anyway?' Truthfully he was worried that something might have happened to them but until some sort of contact was established they had no way of knowing. Tying the last bandage off, Yusuke surveyed his work. It wasn't the best field dressing in the world but at least it would stop the bleeding long enough for Hiei's own healing abilities to begin to kick in. Quiet had reigned for several minutes now and Yusuke had begun to hope the ugly beast had given up on them. His hopes were dashed seconds later as the sounds of falling trees reached his ears once more. "Dammit doesn't that thing ever give up?"

"Doubtful Yusuke, that is after all why it was sent. To eliminate us, whoever is responsible knew we would not be easy to kill. I can only imagine what condition Kurama and Kuwabara are in at the moment." Now that they had shelter Hiei wasn't exactly worried about their survival. If Yusuke would use the training Genkai had given him about erecting barriers then any energy blasts the ugly thing might use would be easily deflected. "It might be wise to call that idiot ferry girl. She might be able to get a portal together to pull us out of here."

Yusuke nearly smacked his own head for not having thought of that first. Digging through his pocket he yanked out his communicator, hoping the damned thing still worked after the fall he had taken. Static covered the screen for a moment before Botan's cheery face came through the other side. Leave it to her to be happy in the face of any problems. "Botan can you get a fix on our position? We're kinda in a jam here."

"A jam? It wouldn't have to do with that eight ton beast that was chasing you around would it? Really Yusuke, You should have let Hiei use the dragon to take care of it. You wouldn't be in this mess now if you had." Truthfully she was worried but Yusuke needed to learn to make use of the weapons available to him and Hiei with the dragon was a powerful force to be reckoned with. Punching in numbers on the computer, she tried to get a lock on his position. The coordinates they had earlier were no longer valid since the great escape they had just pulled.

Growling in exasperation Yusuke scowled at the woman. "Enough of the lectures Botan, can you get us out of here or not? That thing is almost here!" True enough the ground was shaking violently with each step it took, it would be a matter of seconds before it was upon them. Yusuke backed up further into the cave wanting to put as much distance between them as possible. His back encountered something firm as he continued to move further away from the entrance and he dimly realized that it was Hiei. He didn't have time to break the contact though as a large paw filled the opening, hoping to pull them from their hiding spot. "Shit!" Dropping the communicator to the ground he brought his fist up and prepared to fire.

Hiei would have backed away even further had he room to move but already he back was pressed against the stone wall. Having Yusuke pressed against him so tightly was pure hell on his instincts but a battle situation certainly was not the best place to be explaining just why he wanted to feel more of that warm body against his bare skin. Ignoring the ache beginning to consume his entire body he placed his hands on Yusuke's sides, pushing his energy into the Detective's body to give an added jolt to the shot gun blast he was preparing to fire.

A burning warmth spread through his body like wildfire and with a start he realized just what it was that Hiei was doing. He nearly lost control of his concentration then, wondering just when Hiei had developed this ability. Deciding not to question it, he decided that this demon hunting them was at the very least going to lose a leg for its trouble. "Shot gun!" The explosion hit the advancing paw dead on, bits of muscle and bone exploding against the rock walls as the blast collided. A shriek of pain and fury echoed in the small cavern but for the moment the beast retreated. With any luck it wouldn't be back, the blast had taken a lot out of them both. Without the extra energy that Hiei had lent him it was unlikely that he would have even made a scratch on the beast's armor. "Thanks Hiei. When did you pick that trick up?"

Fortunately for Hiei he was saved from having to answer as a portal opened up in front of them with Botan standing on the other side. "I opened it as fast as I could. Hurry through, we have a medical team ready to look the both of you over." Botan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the way Hiei's hands were firmly planted on Yusuke's side and how neither of them had seemed to notice. She brushed it off however, she could easily see that Hiei was badly injured. It was likely that he needed to support to steady him nothing more.

"Thanks Botan, we gotta look for Kurama and Kuwabara. There running around somewhere out here too." Even if he was certain Kurama could handle nearly anything thrown at him Kuwabara was still human. Up against something like they had just faced it was likely the guy would charge it head on and get flattened for his trouble. As much as Koenma claimed to like the guy Yusuke wasn't certain if the toddler would bring his friend back if he became roadkill. Stepping through the portal he wasn't surprised to find that he was in the Reikai. Hiei's injuries at the least couldn't be treated by humans.

Botan smiled at him, he was always so concerned over everyones welfare. "No worries there Yusuke, I actually found them first. They're alright here in the Reikai and waiting to see how the both of you fared." Thankfully the other two had come away with little more than scraps and bruises. Kurama had managed to use his plants to good effect, especially being in the middle of the forest when the strike happened. The enemy hadn't stood a chance against him. "Now if you'll follow me we can get those injuries tended."

Both men then followed the spirit guide through the corridors that would take them to the medical wing. As they came closer they could easily sense their other two team mates even if their energy was a bit low. As they walked through the door they could feel the weight of Kurama's stare s he looked them over. Yusuke broke the silence first as the doctor in attendance led Hiei over to one of the unoccupied bed and began to unwrap the makeshift bandages on his shoulder. "Well it's good to see the both of you made it."

"Well what can you expect when me and Kurama work as a team? What the hell happened to you two anyway Urameshi. Run into an enemy you couldn't handle?" Kuwabara ran his gaze over the many cuts and scrapes that covered Yusuke's body before looking at the dried blood on Hiei. He had gotten more than a glimpse of the beast before he'd been cut off from that part of the fight and chosen to stick next to Kurama for the duration of the battle. It hadn't been something he would have wanted to contend with that was for certain.

Rolling his eyes at his friend Yusuke couldn't help but grin. "Nothing we couldn't take care of Kuwabara." He was almost certain Kurama had done most of the work if the strength of his youki was any gage. He probably used most of it in calling some huge demon eating plant that could take care of an arm all on its own. Leave it to him and Hiei to get the tough fucker that didn't want to die. Still, it wasn't likely to live long with its leg blown off, he'd have to take comfort in that.

"So why is Hiei so beat up then. It looks like that thing chewed him up and spit him out." It wasn't often Hiei took so much damage in a fight, usually the shrimp was dusting himself off with a sneer saying something about how pathetic of an opponent they had to take out. Perhaps shorty was having an off day, that would certainly explain it.

"Oh Hiei decided to play the hero again and tackle me to the ground." Yusuke looked over his shoulder at the apparition who seemed to be doing his best to ignore the conversation for once. "So how many times does this make that you've stepped in to save my ass Hiei? Three or four?" Giving Kurama a conspiratorial look he couldn't help but grin. "I knew the guy liked having me around, otherwise he'd have let me die one of those times."

Kurama's eyes widened at Yusuke's statement and then flew over to Hiei. Three times. The words echoed through his head as he stared at the apparition in amazement. The first time it was an unavoidable circumstance, the instance at Maze castle. The first instance of devotion had come to pass, signifying friendship. It was what had helped the apparition accept the Detective so easily from that point on. But for a second and third time to have taken place, what exactly had he missed here? "I was only aware of one time he had saved your life Yusuke, that of maze castle. When was the second?"

If looks could kill Yusuke was certain that Kurama would have been burned alive at that very instance from the look that Hiei was giving him. He wasn't exactly sure what the big deal was about his question however and decided to answer it. It wasn't as if it were a huge secret after all. "The second time was when Sniper targeted me. Instead of letting me become air conditioned by the various objects that bastard was throwing at me and then being burned alive, Hiei showed up and took care of the problem. Of course, he played it off as being concerned about the trees but.. you know."

Locking eyes with Hiei, Kurama couldn't help but wonder if the apparition knew what he had done. If Yusuke was correct and Hiei had indeed saved his life from Sniper the second instance of Devotion had been declared. The mark had been placed upon the Detective as a potential lover and therefor under his protection but Kurama had never thought to look for the telltale signs. Had he been informed of the occurance however it wouldn't have been something he would have missed. The burning look of anger in Hiei's gaze told him though that the knew exactly what he was thinking. Could Hiei really be interested in Yusuke that way? Shaking his head Kurama realized that he had to be, unless there was some sort of attachment Hiei would have never saved the man a second time much less a third. In all his research he had never heard of an instance of the courtship ritual being broken without the death of one of the parties involved. It was up to Yusuke to accept the hybrid's advances or fight for his freedom which would kill one or both of them.

"So yup, this makes three times." Yusuke couldn't quite understand the uncomfortable silence that had descended in the room after his statement but whatever was going on it looked to be fairly important based on the looks being passed between the two demons. "Ummm guys. What's going on?" Hiei looked ready to kill and Kurama was looking uncharacteristically concerned over the whole thing. Saving each others asses was something friends were supposed to do right? So what was the big deal?

"I think that you and Hiei should talk." Ignoring the way Hiei's scowl deepened even further Kurama turned his attention towards the Toushin. Now that he knew what to look for it was apparent the way Hiei's aura covered him, though he knew there was no way he would have missed this before. This was a new development, something that had to have happened with the third show of devotion which signified the imminent claiming of ones life mate.

Hiei had taken more than enough of the foxes interference for the moment and growled lowly in his chest. "That's enough Kurama, this is not your concern." As much as he enjoyed the Kitsune's friendship this was well into overstepping his bounds. What happened between him and Yusuke from here on out was not his business. He'd easily seen where Kurama's thoughts had been going concerning breaking the bond and that was something that he had to reconcile with himself. While he did not wish to die he doubted that his strength was enough to take Yusuke down, assuming he was willing to try in the first place which was by no means a certainty. He hadn't tried to keep Yusuke alive for so long just to end his existence himself.

"What's he talking about Hiei?" Confusion had settled in at the cryptic conversation going on. It was obvious he was missing something here, though at the moment neither demon seemed to be particularly inclined to enlighten him. "Kurama?" Annoyance was quickly coming to rest right along side of confusion now as he stared at the Kitsune who had started the entire conversation to begin with. Why wouldn't anyone tell him what the hell was going on?

When it looked as if Hiei wasn't going to answer the question Kurama sighed and turned back to the Detective who looked as if he wanted to beat the answers out of someone. He had a right to know, even if Hiei wouldn't tell him. But as he well knew it wasn't his place to break the news to the man. "All I will say is this Yusuke, your current relationship with Hiei is going to be redefined. I suggest you begin to think about what is important to you in your life now and what sacrifices you are willing to make in light of this new development. Anything more is up to Hiei to tell you, it should come from him after all."

This was not something that Hiei wanted to deal with at the moment and to that end he took the one way out that he knew was available. Sleep. His injuries were now treated and he would need sleep to begin the healing process. Ignoring the questions coming from the Detective he allowed his eyes to close. He would deal with this complication later, once he had decided what to do about it.

"Well shit." The temptation was strong to go and shake Hiei in an attempt to keep him awake long enough to get some answers but as he stared down at the apparition's exhausted face he thought better of it. The fight had taken a lot out of him, the least he could do was let the man grab a few hours of sleep before the interrogation began. Kurama wasn't an option either, one look into those hard emerald eyes told him in no uncertain terms he wasn't about to elaborate on just what it was that he knew. Kuwabara was of no help, he looked as clueless as Yusuke felt at the moment. "Fine then I guess I'm going to get some sleep as well, if he wakes up come and get me."

Without waiting for an answer Yusuke turned and walked back out the door, intent on finding Botan. Right now what he needed above all else was peace and quiet with some much needed sleep. Finding the ferry girl wasn't that difficult and soon enough he found himself in a bedroom alone. Kicking off his shoes he made his way into the bathroom, determined to wash the blood off before he crashed from a while. In a matter of moments he was underneath the hot water, allowing it to wash the days troubles away. He would have been content to remain in the shower longer if it weren't for the fact that he was dozing off in the process. He'd never hear the end of it if he fell asleep and managed to break his neck in the process. Koenma would make sure everyone knew of his idiocy at that point he was certain. Barely taking enough time to towel his body off he then threw himself into the bed, his eyes closing almost immediately.

He wasn't sure how long he drifted in between the dream world and reality before he was plunged abruptly back to Maze castle. Everything was just as he had last seen it, right down to the blood that spattered the floor from Hiei's strike on the floating eye. Warily he walked around, unsure of why he had returned when a cold voice stopped him.

"You finally made it. Back to where it all began." Hiei dropped down on top of the boulder that had once attempted to crush him so many years ago. Unconsciously he licked his lips as he stared at the Detective, his gaze burning a path down his naked body. Stepping off the rock lightly he stalked towards the Toushin, a predatory gleam in his eye. "This should not have happened but in a way I'm glad it did."

Yusuke stared at the apparition uncomfortably, unsure of why Hiei would act so weird in his dream. Was this even a dream? A nightmare was more likely considering the fact that he was nude, had this been real some cutting remark would have surely been made about how he was lacking in some form or another but instead, the dream version of the hybrid was looking at him almost hungrily, circling him like he was prey. "What's happened Hiei? Why am I here?"

Having reached his target warm fingers brushed against tanned skin, evoking shivers from the one he was caressing so intimately. "For me Detective, that is why you came isn't it?" It was so very hard to think with Yusuke displayed so deliciously, he couldn't help but move closer and run a tongue over a dusky nipple to see just how the Toushin would react to such an advance. "Am I right Detective?"

Gasping at the contact, Yusuke trembled at the burning eyes that locked with his own, challenging him to confirm or deny the question. Was this why he had come? He wasn't certain but as those fingers trailed even further down his abdomen he realized it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe. "For.. For you?" Never had he thought about the apparition in such a fashion but he couldn't deny the way his touch was affecting him now.

Reaching up Hiei grabbed a fistful of Yusuke's hair and dragged his head down, stopping a mere whisper away from his own lips. "Yes Detective. The choice is yours. Accept or deny me." His hand wrapped around the thick length of the Toushin's cock which was now standing at attention. Stroking it slowly, he stared into confused brown eyes. "It's a simple question Yusuke. All that I am I offer to you, I just need an answer." The slow pace he was setting was maddening he knew but he couldn't help but torment the man, bringing him so teasingly close to release but not allowing it to overcome him.

It was a fight not to thrust his hips in an attempt to speed up the hybrid's motions. He couldn't deny that he wanted Hiei to finish him off, even if this were only a dream but he couldn't help but think there was more to the offer than just simple pleasure. Groaning harshly, he was unable to think any more as he closed the remaining distance between their lips and thrusting his tongue into the apparition's mouth.

Momentarily caught of guard by Yusuke's aggressiveness, Hiei immediately took control of the kiss. Tightening his grip on the hard length in his hand, he swallowed the moan of pleasure coming from his Detective as his pace increased. His own cock demanded attention as well be he ignored it, wanting Yusuke to come first before he buried himself into the Toushin's tight body. Running his thumb over the tip, he spread the moisture further over the sensitive skin knowing that Yusuke was close.

Pulling his mouth free, Yusuke panted harshly as Hiei moved to nip on one of his nipples. "Hiei!" The apparition's name echoed through the compound as his release overwhelmed him.

His eyes flew open, staring in the darkness as his cock pulsed in his hand. Thick streams of semen coated his chest as he bit his lip, trying not to cry out his pleasure. Slowly his hand stilled and Yusuke relaxed against the pillows, unsure of what to think. "Damn what a fucking dream and with Hiei no less!" For several long moment he laid there, allowing his eyes to close as he replayed the way Hiei had touched him in his mind. There was no denying it had been a dream and it was unlikely that Hiei would ever make a move on him like that but he couldn't help but wonder if reality would be just as good or better. Eventually though he had to pull himself out of the bed and into the bathroom once more, cleaning up the evidence of his fantasy. Some time later he dressed and fell back into bed, but this time sleep didn't come as easily.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hiei opened his eyes slowly, knowing that he was not alone in the room. Slightly amused green eyes regarded him much to his annoyance and he had to wonder just what the Kitsune found to be so damned funny. Quite frankly at the moment he was aroused and pissed off. He might not have any control over the ritual from here on out, the dreams being a side effect to determine his life mate's acceptance of the situation but that didn't mean he couldn't direct the dreams to a certain extent. It was just his luck that Yusuke had awoken at the moment he did, though it was probably for the best. Having Kurama watching him get off to a dream wasn't something he wanted hanging over his head. "What?"

"So they've started already. I'm not surprised but you could have continued you know. It's not like anyone here is going to make mention of it." Kurama couldn't help but poke at the apparition and his obvious problem. Had it not been for the fact he was still wearing his pants more than likely he would have gotten quite the show. Kuwabara had left for his own room so there would have been no other audience to worry over.

Hiei snorted at this, as if he'd indulge in something like that where he had someone watching his every move. "Not a chance in hell." Had Kurama approached him before this there would have been a chance that they could have taken care of each others sexual tension. However now that the ritual had started Hiei's instincts demanded that the only on to touch him in such a fashion be his life mate.

At this Kurama had to laugh, knowing that was what the answer would have been anyway. "Seriously Hiei, you're going to have to tell him what this means and soon. He's probably quite confused as to why you are now invading his sexual fantasies. I'd be surprised if he'd ever thought of another male in that situation before, he was human for most of his life after all." Unfortunately Kurama knew that was likely to play a major role in just how easily Yusuke accepted this whole mating business. While he and Keiko may no longer be a couple he would have been blind to have missed the way the Detective's gaze lingered after anything wearing a skirt.

"Don't presume to tell me my own business Kurama. I know more about this than you do after all." While Hiei had been worried before about Yusuke's reaction, the way he had responded in the dream gave him hope. They already had a solid friendship and trust. Affection in some form was guaranteed on Yusuke's part and his own motives proved where Hiei's loyalties lay. All that was left now was to determine whether it was enough to make a permanent relationship.

Even Kurama knew that Hiei had his limits on what he would accept for interference. He had done what he could to nudge Hiei in the right direction, it was up to him now to figure out how to proceed. However as he looked at the apparition on the bed he had to stifle a laugh. Unless the demon either took care of the problem in his current location or moved to the bathroom, it looked as if he were in for an uncomfortable night.

Growling to himself Hiei threw the blanket off of his body and made his way into the bathroom, shutting the door soundly behind him and ignoring Kurama's laughter. The belts came undone easily, allowing his pants to slide to the floor and he set to work on removing his bandages. The wounds were beginning to close slowly, though no where near as quickly as they normally would have. Attributing it to the excessive drain on his youki, he debated on a cold shower before disregarding that thought entirely. Yusuke got to cum, why shouldn't he as well. Stepping into the soothing spray his hand closed over his erection, pulling lightly as his eyes slid shut. He could feel it starting again, the pull of the Jagan towards the Detective. It was insistent, refusing to be denied in its quest.

His eyes opened to find himself staring at a forest of green, the charred remains of a few trees standing out in contrast against the lush vegetation. Yusuke was here somewhere he knew and he couldn't help but grin at the possibilities. Without a second thought he began walking towards the one area that to this day continued to plague his thoughts. As he reached the ledge, Yusuke was just as he had remembered him. On his hands and knees, waiting for salvation. "Now that looks appealing."

Yusuke looked up, his eyes taking on a mischievous gleam when he saw Hiei. it would figure this time it was the apparition who was nude. "So I take it you like what you see." Taking the opportunity to push himself back on his knees the Detective stared at the hybrid who was walking towards him, seemingly uncaring about the way his erection stood at attention. This definitely answered the question of just how well equipped Hiei was.

"I believe you are enjoying the view as well." Stopping just in front of the Detective, Hiei realized that Yusuke's current position was perfect for activities other than talking but he had to know. "You never gave me an answer Yusuke. What do you want?" It thrilled him to see the spark of lust consuming the Detective and it wasn't surprising as strong hands came to rest on his thighs, inching their way towards his cock.

"What I want?" Yusuke moved forward, tired of talking already. Why was talking so necessary in a dream, especially when someone so tempting was parading around in front of them nude? Avoiding Hiei's erection for the moment he concentrated on his inner thigh, running his tongue lightly over the sensitive skin. A tense hand fell on his shoulder, encouraging him to explore even further as his hands slid up and over the apparition's hips to cup his backside.

The Toushin seemed to be intent on driving him mad he had decided as he shifted once more, trying to coax that teasing tongue into playing with his cock. As that wet warmth slid over his sack he groaned, his hand slipping into those raven locks and tugging harshly forcing Yusuke to look up at him. The bastard was teasing him and enjoying every moment of it, he could tell by that cocky smirk on his face. "Detective...."

Hearing the barely hidden demand for more in that one word Yusuke decided to give him what he wanted, at least in part. Never breaking that heated gaze he slowly ran his tongue across the tip, tasting the fluid that had begun to drip with the hybrid's excitement. A groan and the tightening of the hand in his hair told him just how much Hiei enjoyed the attention. Wetting his lips, he tried again deciding he rather liked the way the apparition tasted and began to lap at his dripping cock in earnest. It didn't take long before Hiei had taken control and slipped his length further into Yusuke's mouth.

If he didn't know better Hiei would have thought Yusuke had experience in sucking cock. Only his hesitation in taking it all in signified that he was inexperienced. It didn't matter though as his tongue trailed along the sensitive underside, pulling a moan from his lips. Thrusting slowly Hiei lost himself in the pleasure that Yusuke was giving him, "Yusuke... faster" He panted roughly as his lover picked up speed, taking him further into that delicious warmth.

The tightening on his hair was the only warning he got as Hiei began thrusting harder into his mouth, fucking his face with enthusiasm. Adjusting his position slightly, Yusuke slid his hand up between Hiei's legs, a finger brushing against the apparition's entrance repeatedly. Feeling the hybrid tense he nearly pulled away but before he could Hiei shoved his cock roughly into Yusuke's mouth, The toushin swallowed reflexively as the apparition came, taking all the demon had to offer him. After he was spent Hiei slowly pulled away and dropped to his knees in front of the Detective, staring contentedly at him. Slowly their lips touched, a promise for more to come later as Hiei slowly faded from view.

Opening his eyes Hiei realized the shower was beginning to lose hot water and he sighed. If only he could have stayed longer, he would have gotten his answer for certain that time. But it was not to be. He looked down at his traitorous member which was already trying to harden once more at the thought of fucking the Detective. "This is insane." He could only imagine how his libido was going to kick into overdrive if Yusuke accepted their newly defined relationship. If he thought he had it bad before, it was going to get ten times worse. 'Let's hope that the Mazuko gene influenced more than just his hair and markings or I'm screwed.'

Toweling his body off progressed rather quickly in spite of the way his body was insisting on more pleasure and it was with irritation that he stepped back into his pants making sure the buckles were secure before even thinking of venturing back into the main room. The scent of his arousal hung heavy in the air, so thick that even a human such as Kuwabara would be likely to pick up on it. If the fool so much as thought about mentioning his current problem it couldn't be guaranteed the human would survive until the next day. He stood in front of the mirror for a moment, surveying the damage of his injuries. It was regrettable that they weren't exactly ready to be exposed to the open air at the moment and meant that he would have to find someone to assist him in bandaging them once more. Rummaging through the cabinet under the sink, he found the first aid kit and carried it out to the main room. Thrusting it at the Kitsune in a wordless demand to help patch him up once more, he sat carefully on the edge of the bed.

"I take it you enjoyed yourself in there?" Kurama opened the lid and began rummaging through the bandages, using this as an opportunity to needle the hybrid again. Selecting a wide roll of bandaging, he set to wrapping the wound once more being especially careful about how his fingers lingered over Hiei's skin. The last thing he wanted was to be skewered for some imagined touch. Seeing the scowl on Hiei's face he couldn't help but laugh. "Well it isn't as if you were quiet Hiei. Really, Botan wandered by to check on us and asked why I wasn't in the bathroom helping you if you were in such pain. I had to explain to her that wasn't groans of agony she was hearing and that you had everything well in hand."

"You can't be serious." Hiei nearly snarled at the kitsune, wishing he could throttle him at that particular moment. So now Botan was aware of the problem now as well? He didn't even want to think about the looks she'd be sending him from here on out. He could only imagine the mental images the ferry girl would be having now if that was indeed Kurama's exact wording. So much for being looked upon with fear and awe.

Kurama tied off the bandage and started to work on one of the more minor wounds the apparition had. "Actually I am. You are lucky it wasn't Kuwabara or Koenma that stopped by, I'm sure they would have waited around for you to come out." If he were to be honest it looked as if Botan had intended to do the exact same thing but a subtle reminder of what Hiei wanted to do to her made her flee the scene. Unfortunately that wouldn't have worked on the other two and it would have been up to him to calm the situation down once again.

"This is ridiculous. My private life is not their concern!" Irritation seethed just below the surface and threatened to boil over. A laugh coming from behind him just settled things, when his temper snapped the Kitsune would be the first to go. Clenching his fists he stood, turning just long enough to snatch the bandages out of Kurama's hand. There was one person he could go to at least that wasn't likely to laugh at him. Kill him perhaps but laughing at him was highly unlikely. It was high time he got this mess figured out anyway, at least then it would shut the snickering kitsune up. Walking briskly to the door he ignored the good luck! that was called to him. As if he needed luck in this one. If the dreams were anything to go by he'd be welcomed with open arms.

Stalking down the corridor it wasn't especially difficult to find Yusuke's room. It was easier to locate him than ever, especially now that his ki flowed through the Detective's body. That at least was something that would never change, no matter what the outcome of this confrontation happened to be. Ever so slowly he pushed the door open, stepping inside before shutting and locking it behind him. He refused to have any interruptions for this, the first person who tried was guaranteed a bloody death by his hand. His eyes adjusted to the darkness quickly and he wasn't surprised to see the slight rise and fall of Yusuke's chest indicating the man had fallen asleep once more. However he seemed restless, tossing on the bed. By the looks of things his pants had only recently been discarded, as if in anticipation of his visit.

Hiei couldn't help but frown, had he known of his impending arrival? The blankets and sheets were kicked to the foot of the bed, displaying every toned inch of Yusuke's body including the erection that jutted out so proudly from his body. A smirk came to his lips, so the Detective was waiting for him to come in his dreams a third time. He couldn't help but wonder if Yusuke realized that it wasn't just a dream. Dropping the bandages on a nearby table he made his way over to the bed, unbuckling his own pants as he walked. As the slid to the floor he stepped out of them carefully and then crawled up onto the bed, hovering the Toushin who seemed to calm slightly.

With a smirk he removed the ward over his Jagan once more and projected himself into the man's dream, unsurprised to find themselves back at the site of the day's earlier battle. His eyes widened as he saw Yusuke sitting there in the sunlight on a grassy knoll, slowly stroking his erection as he waited for his lover to make an appearance. "I see you are as impatient as always."

Yusuke's eyes slowly opened to take in the appearance of the apparition before him. He'd been waiting to see if his dream would take a sexual turn this time and it hadn't disappointed him. Lust filled crimson eyes held his own gaze as they contemplated each other. "I didn't know how long it would take for you to get here. You're ready as well I see."

"Indeed." Hiei wasted no time in crossing the distance between them, slowly lowering himself into the Toushin's lap. As their erections rubbed against each other a predatory smirk crossed his lips. I hope you know I don't intend on stopping this time Detective." Leaning forward he nuzzled the side of Yusuke's neck, taking in his familiar smell before running his tongue over a sensitive area. Hands settled on his hips, guiding him in a slow but steady pace that caused their arousal to climb even higher.

"Good." Yusuke groaned the word out as he tilted his head to the side, giving the apparition better access to his neck. Sharp nips teased his skin only to be soothed away by a gentle sweep of his tongue as Hiei made his way further and further down his body. "If you stop I'll have to kill you." Teasing fingers slid over his collarbone and lightly traced over his nipples, causing Yusuke to arch up into the touch.

Smirking as he continued to tease the Toushin, eventually his mouth settled over one of the hard pebbles and drew it into his mouth. Running his tongue over it slowly elicited a gasp from his lover and a plea for more. While he tormented the man with his tongue, his other hand slipped down to the hard cock brushing so temptingly against his own and ran his fingers over the swollen head. Soon the Detective would give him exactly what he had been craving for so long and nothing stood in his way. Palming the throbbing length gently he pulled a whimper out of the Toushin. 'So needy. Don't worry Yusuke, I'll give you exactly what your body demands.'

Pleasure surged through him with every touch that Hiei was giving to him but it still wasn't enough. Leaning backwards he pulled the apparition down on top of him. Fisting a hand in that soft spiky hair he pulled Hiei up into a bruising kiss, trying to find an outlet for the pent up desire he felt.

Hiei knew that it was time, they needed to complete the ritual but it had to be done in the waking world. Ruthlessly he plundered the mouth below him, conveying just how much he needed this as well. Instinct would not be denied. 'Yusuke you must wake up!' The command echoed through both of their minds as he exerted control over the Jagan. He felt Yusuke fade from underneath him as he opened his own eyes to find he had indeed been ravishing the Toushin's mouth relentlessly.

Yusuke's eyes slid open as he stared at the apparition who now lay on top of him in the real world. Any protests he might have had died as the hybrid continued to touch him so intimately, just as he had in the dream. But if Hiei had been real in those dreams then just what did this mean? With great reluctance he broke th kiss, staring up into those passion filled crimson eyes. "Hiei?"

Knowing exactly what Yusuke was asking, Hiei calmed himself slightly. This had to be done now, there was no more putting off any explanations. "I'll be brief Yusuke because I'd like to get back to what we were doing and I can tell you would like to as well." To emphasize his point he gave a sensuous stroke to the Detective's erection, grinning at the moan of desire that spilled so easily from those swollen lips. "A chain reaction was started when we first teamed up in Maze castle, the second stage occurred when I took Sniper out. The third and final stage was completed today by taking that blast. By ritual my youki has determined that you are my life mate and I'm not in the mood to argue with it. I mean to have you Detective which means you have a decision to make. Accept and I will give you all this and more. We will become one. Or deny it if that is your wish and we will have to fight. I'm not going to kid you Yusuke, if we fight then one of us will have to die. Either way the choice is yours." As he fell silent Hiei worried for the first time that Yusuke would push him away. It was clear who the victor would be, the Toushin's strength exceeded his own and he wasn't injured. Even if that weren't a factor however Hiei doubted that he could bring himself to kill the Detective anyway. His fate was already sealed should Yusuke choose to deny his claim.

Quickly his desire cooled to a manageable level as Yusuke stared into those wary eyes. He knew there was no way that Hiei would lie to him, not about something this important. The question was, what did he want to do about it? Questions burned through his mind, ones he needed answers to before he could make a decision. He'd been cast off and neglected most of his life, he wasn't about to set himself up for such a thing again. "If I said yes, is it permanent? You were honest with me, I'm going to be upfront with you. If all you're looking for is a one night stand and then go our separate ways when this is done the answer is no. I have too much respect for our friendship to do that shit."

Hope cautiously made it's way at home in his chest as Hiei stared at the Detective. He almost wasn't certain he had heard him right. "It would be permanent Yusuke, until one of us dies." He left it unsaid just how many mates continued on once on half of the bonding was gone, most found they didn't have it in them to continue living. He'd felt like that once, when he watched Sensui kill the man beneath him.

Yusuke nodded slightly, accepting his answer. "I understand, my next question is do you care. About me I mean?" It was a blunt question but not one asking for an outright declaration of love. He couldn't even say he loved the apparition, though there was a great deal of respect, friendship and now since these dreams had started, attraction. Given enough time he could see it turning to love but he had to know how Hiei felt first.

"If there was not some measure of affection between us I would have left you to die on this last battle. I knew what would happen when I pushed you out of the way." As Yusuke's expression turned to one of contentment Hiei realized what his answer would be. It wasn't given in spoken words, but in the kiss that had been interrupted earlier. As their bodies rubbed together Yusuke's arms wrapped around the demon's slighter form, hands sliding to that tight backside he had only just begun to explore earlier in the dream. Sensing what the Detective was about to do he smirked and stopped the roaming hands from progressing any further. Grasping one of Yusuke's wrists lightly Hiei brought the Toushin's hand to his mouth and began licking his fingers sensuously.

Yusuke's eyes widened as he realized just what Hiei was planning to do. He never pictured the apparition as being one to give up control to anyone, but if his guess was correct he was just about to be proven wrong. "Hiei?"

Releasing the hand after sucking on them for several long moments he stared at Yusuke, feeling just how uncertain the man was. Hesitantly the hand returned to its former position on his ass, teasing the puckered entrance causing Hiei to groan. Pushing back on them, the apparition forced his body to relax as the tips of those fingers slid in. "More Yusuke!"

Encouraged by the moans of pleasure coming from his demonic lover, Yusuke pushed them in further and pumped them slowly. Even around his finger the apparition was so damned tight, he couldn't wait to feel that heat encasing his cock which pulsed eagerly, more than ready for what was to come. Having a writhing demon rubbing so deliciously against him was quickly undoing his control and when a sword calloused hand wrapped around his erection it was nearly his undoing. "Gods Hiei I want to fuck you now!"

Hiei pulled back, his eyes alight with an eerie glow. It wasn't often he allowed anyone to top him but in this instance he'd give the Detective what he wanted. There would be time in the future to show Yusuke just who was alpha in their relationship. Pulling away from those teasing fingers reluctantly, Hiei slid down Yusuke's body and took his weeping erection into his mouth. The Detective's hands flew into his hair, pushing him on faster as he swirled his tongue along the taut length. When he pulled back a cry of disappointment left the Toushin's lips making him pause. "I thought you said you wanted to fuck me Detective."

Grinning wickedly he straddled Yusuke's waist once more and gently lowered himself down onto his cock, groaning as it filled him. It was a fight to hold still, knowing that if he moved now it would be beyond painful even with the slight preparation he had received but as his body relaxed Hiei braced his hands against the Detective's chest and began to move. It didn't take his lover long to fall into a rhythm, thrusting up into his body with an increasing speed. Harsh pants filled the room as they both took pleasure in each other's bodies.

He was beautiful Yusuke decided, sweat covering Hiei's lithe form as the apparition rode him. Gripping the dripping erection that was so tantalizingly close, Yusuke stroked it quickly enjoying the look of ecstasy on his lovers face. The sound of his name being whispered reached his ears and he closed his eyes, reveling in the fact that it was him that made the stoic apparition tremble with desire.

Giving himself over completely, Hiei gasped as Yusuke struck his sweet spot and nearly came from the contact. With every thrust afterwards it was hit with unerring accuracy. Unable to maintain his control with such an assault, his release overpowered him causing him to cry out as his seed painted Yusuke's hand and chest. Breathing harshly he knew that Yusuke had reached his end as well, a pulsing warmth filling him. Collapsing on his mate's chest, Hiei didn't bother to pull away from the Toushin.

"That was... wow." At the moment Yusuke didn't have the words to describe what had just happened. In all his fantasies and dreams about his first time never had he imagined it to be with Hiei of all people. This was definitely something he could get used to and he looked forward to seeing just how far they could test the limits of their pleasure in bed. "Hey Hiei?"

"Hn?" At the moment Hiei was content to remain where he was, just taking enjoyment in the fact that he'd just taken a mate. Something he had never expected to do.

"You up for a shower? We're rather... sticky" When Hiei raised his head Yusuke gave him a wink, letting the apparition know that getting clean wasn't the only thing on his mind.

Within moment's Hiei was up and off the bed, heading towards the bathroom door with a towel in hand. Casting a wicked look over his shoulder, he grinned at his lover. "I do hope you realize that I'm on top this time." At that second Hiei considered himself a very lucky apparition, it would seem his prayers had been answered. The Toushin had indeed been graced with a demon's sex drive.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." As Yusuke followed the hybrid into the bathroom he couldn't help but smile. He would have never thought that dreams such as this could come true.
