(Chapter one) Doubts:

BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!! *THUMP!!!
"Freaking alarm clock!" Kurama cursed the horrid ningen invention. He struggled to untangle himself from the sheets. He gracefully fell to the floor after being awakened by the dreadful machine. Grumbling the whole time, he seperated himself from the floor and kicked the sheets aside. He sighed. 'Monday morning.....' He hated Mondays, although he was glad he didn't have school on account of Summer vacation. Kurama trudged sleepily toward the bathroom on the other side of his bedroom. 'Still getting up at 7 in the morning.....I must be insane.' But he had to keep the routine up. He didn't want to start getting accustomed to sleeping in, he'd never survive school then. After taking care of stool business, he turned the shower on, letting it heat up. Once the water heated up, he stripped out of his pajamas, and settled underneath the nozzle spray. "Aaaaahhhh...." He moaned contently. He let his thoughts wander to his lover. 'Oh, Hiei, we've been together for about a year now, I wonder how long we'll be together? How much time do we really have?' But there's no way to tell what the future holds, so you should just make do with the time you have. 'Speaking of time.................I'm supposed to go shopping for Mother today.' Kurama groaned. He hated shopping, but a perfect son's gotta do what a perfect son's gotta do. Finished with his shower, he stepped out and wrapped himself in a robe. For some reason, he wanted to see Hiei rather badly. He pulled open the doors of his Armoire, hunting for clothes for the day. He finally settled on a thin, longsleeved maroon turtleneck, and dark bluejeans. He Pulled on his hiking boots. Sitting in front of the vanity, he brushed his long, silky fire red tresses. He had hair that made every woman jealous. He was rather proud of his red hair. It takes a lot of work to get it just right each day. When he didn't hear any noises downstairs, he guessed his mother wasnt' home. 'Good, I didn't really wanna hear her gushing about girlfriends this early in the morning.' Kurama thought bitterly. He loved his mother to death, but he'd be damned if she didn't bring up him getting a girlfriend at least 10 times a day. How was he supposed to tell her that he HAD a lover? And that lover just HAPPENED to be a man. 'Oh yeah that'd sit with her real well.' Kurama sighed and set down the brush. He stood up and stretched languidly. He felt the satisfiying sound of his joints cracking. He left the room and headed toward the top of the stairs. When at the top, he looked around, and when he made sure the coast was clear, he lept up on the banister. "WHEEEEEEEEEE!" He knew he'd be dead if he was ever caught, and his mother would disown him. But for now, he just enjoyed the sensation. Just picture it, Shuuichi Minaminno, famed for being perfect, caught sliding down the banister of his stairs. Kurama chuckled at the thought.

"Grrglleenngh." Kurama sat at the table, reading the newspaper, listening to the sounds of the coffe pot making his morning coffee. An ad caught his eye. "For sale: 1998 Ford Tempo, runs good, gas tank has a leak. Will take $1500 for it. Contact me at 392-8879, ask for Christy." Kurama raised his eyebrows. "Mother would kill me if I even thought of it." With one last grrgle, the coffee machine signified that it was done. Tossing the paper down, he stood up and opened the cabinet. Searching around, he found his favorite coffee mug. It was given to him by his lover for a Valentine's Day gift. It had a picture of a silver fox playing in a field of roses. How Hiei managed to find it, Kurama could only guess. But nevertheless, he loved it and used it every morning. After filling the cup with the dark brew, he rummaged around in the frige for his Hazelnut creamer. He finally found it. It was almost empty. 'I'll have to pick some up while I'm out.' After adding some creamer and some sweetner, he settled back down to his paper. Reading the second page, he started to gaze at an article. "Gay men will burn in Hell! See proof inside." Kurama closed his eyes and sighed. What was it with these ningens and their predjuduce? He still didn't understand. There's stories everyday about how gay people get beat and killed by gangs. It was really sad. Brought out of his reading mood, he finished his coffee rather quickly, immediantly regretting that, he rushed to the sink to cool off his burnt tongue. Yep, he could tell this was going to be a good day.......
************************************************************ ***************************************************************

De ep in the Makai, trouble was brewing. Involving an oblivious kitsune and a jealous Makai lord.........
She had always hated Kurama. Kurama and his perfect body, Kurama and his perfect hair, Kurama and his perfect life, Kurama and his perfect LOVER!!! A lover that should've been hers. She'd get her revenge, and a fire demon as a bonus......yes, this plan was foolproof. She had to make Hiei see that he didn't really love Kurama, he loved his beauty, nothing more. After that, Hiei would come crawling to her. It would work, it HAD to! By the time she's through, Hiei won't be able to recognize his fox!!
***************************************************************** **********************************************************

Pushing his way through the flocks of ningens, Kurama made his way down the street. He was heading to the mall to pick up some things. He adverted his eyes to the list he found on the counter. "Shuu-chan, these are the things I need you to pick up:
Eggs
Milk 2%
2 loaves of Wonder Bread
2 Gallons of chocolate ice-cream (for your friend with the dark clothes.)
A pair of scissors
and don't forget to get my new hairbrush!
Red lipstick
CucumberMelon body mist.
Thanks Shuuichi dear!
Love, Mother.

Kurama put the list away. He found his way in front of the sliding doors of JC Penny, his mother's favorite place to blow her money. He stepped inside, feeling the airconditioning cooling his heated body from the humid weather outside. He decided to get the food items first, since they were closest to the door. Looking at his list once more, he made his way to the cosmetics.
Eggs-
Milk 2%-
2 loaves of Wonder Bread-
2 Gallons of chocolate ice-cream (for your friend with the dark clothes.)-
A pair of scissors-
and don't forget to get my new hairbrush!-
Red lipstick
CucumberMelon body mist.
Thanks Shuuichi dear!
Love, Mother

So far, he only needed the lipstick and the perfume. He felt a little embarrased being in the makeup aisle, but no one questioned him on account of his looks. That was the only kick to his femminine appearance, not being questioned when buying female products. As he grabbed the perfume, a voice caught his attention.
"You there, pretty redhead. Come closer." The voice sounded like an old woman. Kurama turned around and was greeted by a woman of about 70 years old, sitting behind a table he was sure wasn't there before. He stepped up to the woman.
"Oh yes, just as I thought....but I didn't think it was this bad." Kurama grew confused. 'Just what is the woman trying to pull?'
"What's wrong?" Kurama asked.
"You have a significant other, correct?" The woman prodded.
"Why yes I do, why?" Kurama was starting to get suspicious.
"Don't you want to be beautiful for them? I'm sure they've noticed those wrinkles by now......" The woman trailed off at Kurama's wide eyed stare.
"What wrinkles!?" The woman held up an antique mirror so Kurama could get a look. He was horrified! He had little lines around his eyes! Hiei wouldn't say anything to hurt his feelings! Seeing the fox's distraught look, the woman spoke again.
"Of course, you could get rid of those horrid lines with my lotion here...it will make you look young and beautiful, your lover will certainly love you more..." Kurama looked at her, then said, "How much is it?" He fumbled around for his wallet.
"Free of charge, I'm just happy to be able to assist." She handed Kurama a tall purple bottle. "Apply it once a night, to whatever place you desire." Kurama thanked her and turned to leave. Forgetting to ask her for her name, he spun around to find the old woman gone.

Walking home, Kurama pondered about the strange lady at the mall. 'She just disappeared...' It was pretty mysterious. He glanced down at the bottle, nestled inbetween the bread and eggs. 'Should I use it? Bah! What's my problem? I'm scared of a bottle of lotion!' Kurama smiled at that. He reached the front door. He noticed his mother was still not home. He used his key and walked inside. The first thing he noticed was the answering machine was blinking, signifiying that he had a message. Kurama set the sacks of groceries on the kitchen table, then headed back to the living room. He pressed the button and the room was filled with Shoiri's soft voice. "Hello Shuu-chan, sorry but I'm going to be at your Aunt Ginny's for a week, something came up. I hope you can take care of things on your own. Love you. Bye." With that, Kurama's face lit up. 'A whole week, I'd better invite Hiei over.' He grinned wickedly at that thought. He could think of all the delicious things he could do to the little demon. That was the only message, so he went back to the kitchen to unpack the groceries. Once done with that, he went upstairs to work on his stories. He had a knack for writing romances. A lot of the work seemed to involve a redheaded bishounen and a dark headed demon....not that it had any references...yep. Once, he'd caught his lover trying to read on of his recent stories, the one about a mischievious silver fox and an angry dragon. When Hiei had noticed he was being watched, he'd looked like a child who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He'd flushed bright red, and took off out the window like a bat out of hell. Kurama laughed out loud at the memory. He settled at his desk, placing his recent project in front of him. He briefly wondered if Hiei would come see him today. 'I wish he was here, I have the sudden urge to hold him and make love to him sweetly.' Kurama smiled gently at the thought of his lover's ruby eyes glazed over with pleasure. A couple hours and curses later, he finally held up his finished story. It was called, "Sudden Urges" and it was about the time Hiei and himself spent the night in a hotel. He based it off the first time he made love to Hiei, when Hiei was just an innocent virgin. He'd showed Hiei all the ways to make love. It was a sweet memory. Of course, that was about a year ago. Sighing, he set it down and went downstairs to start lunch. He glanced at the kitchen clock. '1:30, hmmm, Hiei should be here about 8:00, like he normally does...' He rummaged through the cabinets, searching for some food. He finally came up with some veggies and ranch dressing. Unlike his lover and his gigantic sweet tooth, Kurama had a taste for vegetables. Making himself comfortable at the table, he dipped a carrot in the dressing. He brought it up to his mouth and chomped on it. He felt like a rabbit. Now all he needed was some bunny ears, whiskers, and buck teeth. *chuckle

'Come on! It's just body lotion!' Kurama continued to argue with himself over whether or not to use the lotion. 'It'll make me beautiful, Hiei would like that.' Speaking of Hiei, the little fire demon failed to show up tonight. It was 10:30 and Kurama was debating over the damn bottle. He wanted to get rid of the wrinkles so Hiei wouldn't stop loving him. 'If I let myself go, I'll be ugly and Hiei will leave me...' Kurama had it in his mind that Hiei only saw his beauty. Finally he sighed and opened the bottle. "Well, what can it hurt." With that, he squirted some on his arms and hands. He rubbed it on his face and around his eyes. It felt warm and smooth. The lotion was like nothing he ever felt before. 'Hmm, nice texture, that old woman sure knows her stuff.' With that done, he slipped under the blankets and tried to drift to sleep. When he finally slept, he had a dream of foxes and dragons. The dragon lived to protect and love the small fox. They lived happily ever after.

"BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" *Thwack!
Kurama gave the alarm clock a swift smack with his arm. He stretched and glanced at the clock. 'Serves it right..' With that, he pulled off the covers and let out a blood curdling scream...........
