FRIENDS & LOVERS

Chapter 4

Yusuke growled in frustration as once again he was unable to penetrate the barrier surrounding Yomi’s castle. This one was particularly good, it sent his spirit gun blasts bouncing back at him. The one last week simply absorbed them. At least Yomi didn’t under estimate his abilities, every few days his defenses changed in case he, or perhaps Hiei, found a way through them.

As he walked back to Tourin Yusuke took his frustration out on the bushes and trees he passed. He’d been at this long enough that the local demons knew better than to cross the path between Tourin and Gandura when he was around if they wanted to live.

An exceptionally beautiful plant caught Yusuke’s attention. Something about the large deep red flower at it’s center reminded him of Kurama. Stepping closer he reached out to gently caress it’s peddles with the back of his fingers. Almost immediately the blossom snapped at his fingers. “I should have known you’d bite. Kurama’s probably your master and told you to eat me so he wouldn’t have to talk to me.”

Looking at the flower Yusuke chuckled, if he didn’t know better it was licking it’s lips at the little taste of blood it got from his fingers. Suddenly angry Yusuke viciously grabbed the plant by the stem, just below the bud, and began shaking it as he shouted. “Why damn it? Why did it have to be me that hurt that beautiful fox? Why did Hiei have to be the man he was in love with? Why the hell did I have to fall in love with either one of them?”

When his outburst was over the beautiful plant lay in shreds on the ground. “Great! Now Kurama has another reason to hate me. He really gets pissed whenever anyone hurts his plants.”

Turning away he sprinted the rest of the way to Tourin, ignoring the plants he passed. As he entered the castle one of the guards stopped him. “Lord Yusuke, there is a messenger waiting for you.”

Yusuke shook his head. “Tell him to get lost. I’m not dealing with any more crap today.”

Yusuke had just reached the stairs when he heard the guard address the messenger. “Please inform Lord Yomi that Lord Yu…”

The guard was cut off when Yusuke yelled. “Holy shit! Yomi sent you? Where’s the message?”

Unfazed by the young lord’s erratic behavior the guard returned to his post as the little demon handed Yusuke a slip of paper. Yusuke quickly read the note then turned on the demon. “What the hell does this mean? Why can’t he meet with me now?”

Undaunted the little demon replied calmly. “I am to wait for a reply Lord Yusuke.”

Yusuke grabbed the demon by one scrawny arm. “Will Kurama be there? Does Hiei know about this? Talk to me you little shit or I’m going to tear your arm off!”

Not intimidated the demon once again replied calmly. “I am to wait for a reply Lord Yusuke.”

Shoving the demon away Yusuke growled. “Tell that son of a bitch I’ll be there!”

Not waiting for the messenger to leave Yusuke went up to his room. Striping off his clothes he headed for the shower. The moment the hot water touched him his body reacted. ‘Can’t I even take a damn shower without getting a hard on?’ Memories of Kurama’s mouth and hands flooded his mind. When his hand rested on the cool marble wall, supporting himself as he reached for his erection, Yusuke’s thoughts traveled to when Kurama had taken him against the tile in his shower back home.

Shaking his head he pushed that memory aside. In the mood he was in he didn’t want tender lovemaking. What he needed was hot, hard core sex. Hiei’s image popped into his head and he moaned as his hand stroked his length. Closing his eyes he let his mind drift.

*FLASHBACK*

Yusuke could have drooled when Hiei tossed his shirt aside and attacked. They were sparring in a clearing not far from the temple. They did this whenever Hiei came to the Ningenkai to visit Yukina. Luckily for Yusuke the fire demon worried about his sister a lot and visited often. Yusuke didn’t know how he managed to get so much time off, Mukuro was a slave driver, but however Hiei did it, he was grateful.

Something about the sexy little demon had always excited him. He was wicked mean and a vicious fighter yet somehow maintained his innocence. Yusuke also found Hiei extremely attractive. His features weren’t the elegant beauty that had always attracted him to Kurama but beautiful non the less. Even before he’d accepted that he was attracted to men in a sexual way he’d been shocked to realize he found both demons alluring.

Biding his time Yusuke watched Hiei. The fire demon had changed in the last few years. If possible he’d become even more attractive. He’d grown several inches in the last few years. When Yusuke had commented on it Kurama had subtly shut him up saying something about Hiei passing from his demon puberty into adulthood. Whatever happened Yusuke was pleased with the results. Hiei still wasn’t tall like the Youko but was only a couple inches shorter than him and Kurama.

Thinking about it there were other ways Hiei had changed. He’d become more sociable recently though he still stuck close to Kurama. Vaguely Yusuke wondered if Hiei might have a crush on the fox. He also wondered if Hiei knew Kurama had a secret boyfriend.

Maybe all of that was working in his favor. Yusuke had been flirting with the fire demon the last few times they were together and Hiei seemed to be responding well. Red eyes caressed his chest whenever the Toushin took his shirt off. When they were close enough to wrestle Hiei’s hands seemed to linger on his skin. All in all Yusuke was quite encouraged.

Distracted by his thoughts Yusuke missed Hiei closing in on him until he was tackled to the ground. Rolling and struggling, their strength almost equal, Yusuke was surprised when he came out on top. With Hiei pinned beneath him Yusuke was almost giddy when he realized the fire demon must have allowed him to win. “So Detective, you’ve got the upper hand but do you know what to do with it?”

Eyes wide, Yusuke considered Hiei’s dare for only a second before leaning down and kissing him. There was only a brief hesitation before Hiei returned the kiss. After waiting so long for a sign that Hiei might return his feelings, having the fire demon’s tongue lick his lips and rub against him was heaven. When Yusuke released Hiei’s hands each man wrapped his arms around the other.

Astride Hiei’s hips Yusuke rubbed their cocks together causing them both to moan. Excited that Hiei too was rock hard Yusuke repeated the movement. Suddenly he found himself sprawled in the grass and Hiei gone. “Damn it Hiei!”

Frustrated, Yusuke punched the ground before getting up. Not far away was a spring that the gang sometimes used to bathe in after training. Making his way there Yusuke stripped and got in. This time of year the water was cool and would help with the ache between his legs.

An hour later a calmer Yusuke stepped from the water but before he could reach for his clothes he looked up and saw Hiei. Naked and dripping Yusuke stood frozen in place as Hiei slowly advanced on him. When Hiei reached for the belts on his pants Yusuke gulped. “If this isn’t what you wanted Yusuke you’d better run.”

Standing his ground Yusuke watched enthralled as the rest of Hiei’s toned body was bared to him. Standing proudly before him was the hard evidence of his desire. Yusuke gulped again, Hiei was very well endowed for his slender form. Just the thought of what Hiei intended to do made Yusuke harden in anticipation.

When Hiei was standing before him Yusuke expected the demon to reach for him, he didn’t expect to be shoved back into the water. Coming up sputtering Yusuke didn’t have time to look for Hiei as the fire demon grabbed him and kissed him. Yusuke’s body trembled with desire as Hiei’s mouth plundered his, their wet bodies plastered together. Yusuke had to pull back to gasp when Hiei’s strong fingers wrapped around his arousal.

Hiei watched Yusuke enjoy his touch for several minutes before turning the Toushin and pushing him face down on the edge of the spring. The water on this side of the pond was at just the right depth to place Hiei’s erection and Yusuke’s backside just below the water’s surface.

Bracing his hands on the ground beside the water Yusuke threw his head back and howled when both of Hiei’s hands touched him at once, one in front on his cock and the other even more intimately from behind. Hiei’s wet fingers worked quickly and before he knew it Yusuke felt something hard and large probing him.

Yusuke had watched enough guy on guy porn over the last few months to know he needed to relax or this was really going to hurt. Burying his face in the crook of his arm Yusuke refused to show weakness when Hiei took him in one hard thrust. Luckily the fire demon knew to give him a minute before he began moving in the body beneath him.

The warm hand caressing along his back combined with the one between his legs quickly had Yusuke enjoying every stroke of Hiei’s length inside him. Yusuke was about to beg for more when he heard Hiei growl. “Gods Yusuke, you’re so tight. It feels so good to finally have you.”

Thrilled with Hiei’s words Yusuke reached back to caress Hiei’s hip. “I’ve waited so long for you Hiei. Show me just how good it can be.”

If Yusuke thought it was good before it was nothing compared to how it felt when Hiei changed angles and thrust harder. Yusuke saw stars every time Hiei brushed a certain spot inside him. Yusuke had heard and read about that spot but nothing prepared him for how it felt for Hiei to actually touch it with his own hard body.

Whether it was minutes or hours later Yusuke didn’t know but all his pleasure suddenly seemed to peak in one intense surge and he climaxed with a scream. Behind him Hiei’s hands gripped his hips painfully as with a few final deep thrusts he too reached his end with a cry.

It took a few moments for them to catch their breaths and pull apart. Neither spoke as they washed themselves then stepped out of the water to dress. When they finally stood facing each other the last thing Yusuke expected was for Hiei to yell at him. “Damn it Detective, why the hell did you have to be naked? I was coming back to tell you we couldn’t do this! That I’m not free to be with you and didn’t want to end our friendship over a fuck! But no, you had to be naked and get me hard again!”

Anger rising Yusuke yelled back. “You’re blaming me for this? You bastard, who fucked who here?”

Silence filled the air as they stared at each other. Finally it was too much for Yusuke and he broke it. “What did you mean we can’t do this because you’re not free?”

Hiei closed his eyes a moment as if in pain. When he opened them his anger was gone and he spoke softly. “I have someone Yusuke. Someone very special who loves me. Someone I don’t want to lose because I couldn’t control what I feel for you. I just pray to the gods that he doesn’t find out what we did here today. I would rather die than hurt him with our betrayal.”

Hearing Hiei say there was someone somewhere that he was willing to die for stabbed through Yusuke’s heart as painfully as if Hiei had used his Katana. Shuffling his feet Yusuke tried to act as if his words didn’t hurt. “I see, so this is it. Hey, at least my first time was with someone I think is special like that.”

Red eyes widened in surprise. Solemnly Hiei stepped up to Yusuke. Reaching out Hiei caressed his cheek. “You’ll always be special to me too Yusuke.”

In the next breath Hiei was gone.

*END FLASHBACK*

Yusuke was slumped against the shower wall, the evidence of his passion having been washed down the drain. Quickly Yusuke shampooed his hair, rinsed and got out of the shower. After toweling himself dry the Toushin threw himself naked on the bed. Frustrated he covered his face with a pillow.

Looking back Yusuke realized he should have known that Kurama and Hiei were lovers, all the signs were there. They were always closer than normal friends. Hiei was never around unless he was with Kurama. They were both very protective of the other and were never more deadly than when the other was threatened.

The other thing he should have put together sooner was the timing. Kurama started noticing something was wrong with his ‘boyfriend’ about the same time Yusuke started flirting with Hiei. Then Kurama was dumped within a few days of Yusuke and Hiei having sex. When Hiei didn’t put in an appearance for so long Yusuke had thought that he was just in Makai with lover.

When Yusuke and Kurama had started seeing each other Yusuke had been worried what Hiei might think of their relationship. He cringed now thinking of Kurama’s response. Yusuke knew now he should have paid better attention to the anger he heard in the first sentence and the pain he heard in the second. “Hiei’s not my keeper Yusuke so I don’t give a damn what he thinks. Besides, I don’t think he’ll be coming back for a while, if ever.”

Hiei’s words as well should have told him who the fire demon’s lover was. Hiei hadn’t said his special someone would be hurt by “my betrayal” he’d said “our betrayal”. If he’d been a stranger then the betrayal would be Hiei’s alone to bear, but since Yusuke was one of Kurama’s best friends if he found out what they’d done then he too would be guilty of betraying their fox.

Angrily Yusuke tossed the pillow aside. “Our fox, what a joke! Kurama won’t speak to either one of us! Gods why the hell did this have to get so screwed up?”

Yusuke knew he loved them both. If they were both standing before him right now offering themselves to him he didn’t know if he could chose between them. Kurama’s last words were that he loved them both. Even Hiei had said they were both ‘special’. For him that was as good as an admission of love.

Yusuke knew that he and Hiei had avoided seeing each other over the last six months for fear that if they gave up on Kurama and chose to be together that would mean Kurama would remain alone. He feared a similar situation if Kurama ever spoke to them again and forgave one of them. He didn’t want to even consider what would happen if Kurama took one of them back. Would it be him or Hiei that would be left alone with his heart broken?

Kurama had spent yet another sleepless night thinking about what to do about Hiei and Yusuke. This morning was different however. He still hurt but had finally come to a decision. Dressing he went downstairs to join Yomi for breakfast.

Entering the dining room Kurama gave Yomi a real smile for the first time since coming to Gandura. “Good morning my friend. Did you sleep well?”

Kurama then surprised his friend even more by going to where Yomi sat at the head of the large table, placed his arms around the demon lord and kissed him. Yomi sat stunned as Kurama took the seat to his right. “I slept fine, thank you. Judging from your good mood I’d say you finally did too.”

The redhead smiled at the maid that brought his food before turning his attention back to Yomi. “No actually, I was up all night thinking. I’ve come to a decision, I’m going home.”

Startled, Yomi had to think a moment before responding. “Really, and when will you be leaving?”

Yomi held his breath as he waited for Kurama’s answer. “I see no reason to put it off so probably tomorrow or the next day. I want to do something special for you before I go and it will take a day or two to arrange it.”

Reaching out Yomi took Kurama’s hand in his. “There’s only one thing I want that I don’t already have Kurama and that’s you. There’s no chance I could convince you to stay with me?”

Kurama squeezed his hand. “I don’t love you Yomi. In the past I thought the love I had with Kuronue was a once in a lifetime thing. Now that I’ve known that same love with Hiei and, though it was brief, with Yusuke too I won’t settle for anything less.”

Sighing his acceptance Yomi raised Kurama’s hand to his lips for a kiss before releasing it. “What are you going to do about Hiei and Yusuke?”

Kurama shrugged. “I don’t know yet. I guess it’s too much to hope that they’ll stay here. Either way I know I can’t keep hiding from them forever. I’m ready to get on with my life and I can’t do that here. Eventually I’ll have to face them though. I’ll deal with it when it happens.”

Knowing he didn’t have much time to put his plan into action Yomi had to convince Kurama to stay just a few more days. “Alright Kurama, if this is what you want I won’t try to dissuade you. All I’ll ask is that you give me a few days. I have a meeting I can’t get out of tomorrow but it would be nice if the next day we could spend some time together in your garden.”

The redhead laughed. “I think I can endure the luxury of your castle for a few more days. Thank you Yomi, you’re a good friend.”

At exactly noon the following day Hiei entered the Dragon’s Head Pub. Before he could inquire as to Yomi’s whereabouts a barmaid approached him. “Lord Hiei, Lord Yomi awaits you upstairs. It’s the second door on the left.”

Following her directions Hiei found himself knocking on the door she indicated. A moment later Yomi opened the door. “Hiei, come in. Thank you for being so prompt.”

Peering inside Hiei saw a table and chairs. The only other thing in the room was tray containing a bottle of wine and some glasses. Once inside he accepted the drink Yomi offered him before sitting across from him at the table. Setting the drink aside Hiei looked at Yomi. “How is Kurama?”

Yomi smiled. “Straight to the point, I like that. Actually Hiei, I finally think he’s going to be alright. He took what happened between you very hard but he’s doing better now.”

Nodding, Hiei again got straight to the point. “Why did you call me here today?”

Yomi poured himself another drink before replying. “There are a few things I need to know before I decide what to do next. First and most important, do you still love Kurama?”

Red eyes widened but Hiei answered without hesitation. “Yes.”

Nodding, Yomi continued. “Are you and Yusuke together now?”

There was only a brief hesitation before Hiei answered. “No.”

Yomi knew Hiei wouldn’t tolerate much more. “One more question. Do you want Kurama back?”

This time Hiei’s answer was growled. “Yes!”

The demons stared at each other a moment but before either of them could speak there was a knock at the door. Hiei rose to his feet as Yomi went to the door. Hiei wasn’t surprised to find Yusuke on the other side. “Yusuke. Please join us.”

Red and chocolate eyes locked on each other as Yusuke entered but neither of them spoke. The silence was broken by Yomi. “Have a seat gentleman. We need to talk.”

The chair Yomi offered Yusuke was beside Hiei’s. He smirked when he heard them being dragged further apart. “Alright, now that I’ve…”

Yusuke’s hands banged down on the table. “Just a minute Yomi. How’s Kurama? Why isn’t he here? We want to see him. If you’ve hurt him in any way…”

Yomi would have stopped him but Hiei beat him to it. “Shut up Detective! Kurama’s fine now let him speak.”

Nodding his appreciation to Hiei Yomi turned his attention to Yusuke. “I’ll take that outburst to mean you still love him. Do you want him back?”

Yusuke paused long enough to glance at Hiei before he answered. “Yes, if I’m the one that can make him happy again.”

Though happy with their answers Yomi still had one more question. “That just leaves one thing unsettled. I know the two of you betrayed him. What I want to know now is how do you feel about each other?”
