FRIENDS & LOVERS

Chapter 5

“What I want to know now is how do you feel about each other?” Yomi’s question hung in the air between Hiei and Yusuke.

Slamming his hands down on the table Yusuke confronted Yomi. “Damn it Yomi, this is about Kurama not us! It’s none of your damn…!”

Once again it was Hiei that calmly stopped Yusuke’s outburst. “Sit down Yusuke! Though I agree our feelings are none of his business, Yomi holds the trump card here… Kurama. So for now we’ll play by his rules.”

Trusting his long time friend Yusuke grudgingly sat down. Through all of this Hiei never took his eyes off of Yomi. Hoping he’d sized the situation up correctly Hiei’s next comment was addressed to Yomi. “Before we answer any more questions Yomi I need to know one thing. Is Kurama still ours to win back?”

A slow smirk crossed Yomi’s lips. “As much as I’d like to say no to that question Hiei, I can’t. Not for lack of trying on my part mind you. Believe me, if there were any way I could take Kurama away so you idiots couldn’t hurt him again I would. But he doesn’t love me and for some odd reason Kurama seems to think that’s an important emotion.”

This time the smirk was on Hiei’s face. “Hn! It’s that damn ningen heart of his. It has some how contaminated his demon soul. The detective has the same problem, his heart overrules his common sense. As for me, I blame it on prolonged exposure to them.”

Yomi howled with laughter at the disgusted sound in Hiei’s voice. Even Yusuke couldn’t help but chuckle though for him it was because Hiei looked so cute. Hiei didn’t have to raise his temperature much to shut them up allowing him to continue. “Alright Yomi, you know Yusuke and I both love Kurama. As for Yusuke… yes, I have had feelings for him for a very long time. Because I didn’t want to hurt Kurama I tried not to pursue them but I failed and Kurama got hurt.”

Hearing Hiei say he had feelings for him Yusuke’s heart was pounding so hard he was sure the older demons could hear it. Figuring it was his turn Yusuke tore his eyes from Hiei and spoke. “I’ve always cared a great deal for both Kurama and Hiei. It wasn’t until after Kurama had been caught in the middle that I found out they were seeing each other. So if you’re asking if I love Hiei the answer is yes, but I love Kurama too.”

When he finished Yusuke glanced at Hiei and was pleased to find him shyly glancing back with the corner of his mouth turned up in a little smile. Neither seemed to notice that Yomi seemed pleased with their answers. In fact they’d forgotten about him until he spoke. “Do you think the two of you can find a way to make Kurama happy again?”

There was no hesitation as Hiei and Yusuke turned to him and answered together. “Yes!”

Pouring himself another drink Yomi nodded. “Good, because you’re out of time. Kurama has decided to return to the Ningenkai. I’ve convinced him to stay through tomorrow. That means you have one day to decide how to fix the mess you’ve made. I want this done here before Kurama goes back to the Ningenkai so that if you two screw up again I’ll be here to pick up the pieces.”

After looking at each other briefly Hiei and Yusuke both nodded their acceptance before Yomi continued. “One more thing, I don’t care whether you talk it out or fight it out but I’d suggest that neither of you die. Kurama might not take it well if one of you killed the other to win him.”

When Yomi rose from the table Hiei and Yusuke pushed their chairs back to stand but he stopped them. “No, the two of you stay and work this out. I’ll have Kurama in the garden at my castle tomorrow at noon. You have one chance to get this right. Know this though, if you hurt him again I’ll kill you both.”

Without waiting for a response Yomi left. Once they were alone Hiei and Yusuke sat in an awkward silence. After a minute Hiei tentatively reached a hand out to Yusuke. Needing no other invitation Yusuke flew out of his chair. Kneeling beside Hiei’s chair Yusuke threw his arms around the fire demon and buried his face against his chest.

Hiei immediately wrapped his arms around Yusuke holding him close. After a moment Hiei pulled back a little. Cupping Yusuke’s cheek Hiei tipped the man’s face up to his then leaned down and claimed his lips.

Entering the main hall Yomi was greeted by a maid. “Excuse me Lord Yomi but your presence is requested in the throne room.”

Before he could ask her at who’s request the maid curtsied and scurried away. With a shrug Yomi headed to the throne room. As he pushed the door open he smiled. His senses had already picked up not only the Youko’s scent but also his ki. Wondering why Kurama would want to see him here Yomi entered the room.

If Yomi weren’t blind he would have drooled at the sexy sight before him. Sitting at an angle on his throne was Kurama. One arm and his long silver hair draped across one arm of the throne and one of his long legs draped across the other. Even without the benefit of sight Yomi could imagine the beautiful Youko quite clearly as he almost purred at the demon lord. “Welcome home old friend. Did your meeting go well?”

Slowly advancing on him Yomi nodded. “Actually, yes it was quite enlightening. To what do I owe this pleasure Kurama?”

Yomi now stood before him and Kurama was forced to look up at the tall demon. “I just wanted a chance to thank you for being such a good friend. It means a lot to me that you shielded me from the outside world and gave me a shoulder to lean on when I needed it.”

The only warning Kurama had was the sly smile that crossed his friends face before he found himself scooped up into strong arms. The Youko laughed and wrapped his arms around Yomi’s neck as the demon lord sat on the throne with Kurama on his lap, cradled in his arms. The look on Yomi’s face however was serious. “If you really like my throne Kurama I’ll give it to you. I’ll give it all to you, the castle, the kingdom, everything, if you’ll forget those fools and stay here with me.”

Soft golden eyes smiled at him as Kurama caressed Yomi cheek. “Hm. A kingdom, a castle and a sexy lover to go with them, that’s tempting my friend but I’m afraid I’ll have to decline. You are a lifetime too late but I do appreciate the offer.”

Before Yomi could speak however Kurama took his breath away by leaning in and claiming his lips in a gentle kiss. Groaning, Yomi pulled Kurama close and deepened the kiss. Kurama didn’t hesitate as he opened his mouth and allowed Yomi to plunder it’s depths. Even though Kurama didn’t love Yomi he was still a male with needs that had been denied for too long. It wasn’t long before Kurama felt his body begin to harden with desire. Beneath him he could feel Yomi harden as well.

Surrendering, Kurama allowed the kiss to continue for several minutes. When Yomi’s hand began roaming across his chest Kurama finally pulled away from the kiss. Both men were panting as they just held each other in silence for a moment. When Kurama kissed him on the cheek Yomi was reminded that all it would ever be was a kiss.

Distracted by the sexy Youko in his arms Yomi didn’t notice the change in Kurama’s energy. When Kurama moved away Yomi reluctantly released him but was surprised when the Youko just sat up straight but didn’t leave his lap. Curious he waited for whatever Kurama had planned. “It’s not easy to get a gift for a man who has everything but I made a few inquiries, called in a few favors, and I think I managed to find something you’ll enjoy.”

Not sure what Kurama intended Yomi was surprised when he felt Kurama take hold of the back of one of his hands and guide it forward. When he tried to use his senses to see what the Youko was up to Yomi was surprised to find them blocked. Kurama was using his own energy to shield Yomi from something.

Yomi’s breath caught when his palm brushed against what was obviously a bare hip. Intrigued, he allowed Kurama’s hand to guide his as he caressed along the soft skin of the hip then around a firm, shapely cheek to a soft tail. Kurama must have released his energy shield because Yomi could now easily sense the very naked Youko male that stood just inches in front of them.

As Kurama’s hand continued to guide his hand back across the hip and around to stroke a rather impressive, semi hard cock Yomi couldn’t suppress a moan. Kurama’s voice was little more than a sexy whisper in his ear as together they stroked the man before them. “This is Aya. He is a Youko, with a soft red tail and mane. He also has the most alluring golden eyes. He’s beautiful Yomi and he’s all yours.”

Yomi’s breath was coming in short pants as Kurama’s hand guided his away from Aya’s erection and across his firm abdomen to caress his chest. Yomi’s thumb flicked across a hard nipple eliciting a little gasp from Aya. Pleased with the reaction Yomi pulled Kurama’s hand over so he could circle the other nipple. Though Aya didn’t make another sound Yomi could feel his chest rising and falling with each harsh breath.

Focused on the naked Youko before him Yomi barely noticed the agile one in his lap slip away until it was almost too late. At the last second his free hand reached for Kurama. Kurama smiled when Yomi’s hand tangled in his hair. Kurama nodded to Aya and the young Youko knelt at Yomi’s feet as the older one pushed him back on the throne and kissed him.

With Kurama’s tongue in his mouth it took Yomi a moment to realize Aya had pushed his robe aside and was undoing his pants. Kurama released Yomi’s lips just as Aya took the head of his erection in his mouth and suckled. Yomi had one hand in Aya’s red hair and the other in Kurama’s silver hair as he moaned out his pleasure.

Again Kurama’s voice purred in his ear. “Aya has been expertly trained in the art of pleasuring a lover. He is an adult but he is very young Yomi and he’s never been taken before so please be gentle with him the first time. Enjoy your gift my friend.”

After placing one last kiss on Yomi’s panting lips Kurama pulled away. Glancing down Kurama saw the young Youko’s mouth bobbing up and down on Yomi’s cock. Wide uncertain golden eyes looked up at him and Kurama smiled reassuringly. Reaching out he gently scratched behind a cute red ear. Leaning down he whispered to Aya. “Don’t worry little one. Yomi is an exceptional lover. I promise he’ll see that your first time is one you will never forget.”

As he continued to pleasure Yomi the Youko’s golden eyes smiled up at Kurama briefly, then closed as he focused his full attention on his new lover. Satisfied that they’d be alright Kurama left them alone. He’d barely closed the door behind him when he heard Yomi cry out his release. Smirking, Kurama headed for the garden.

Before he could go outside however he heard a commotion behind him and turned to see what was going on. Kurama couldn’t help but chuckle as two maids went running and several guards stared with their mouths open as Yomi exited the throne room with a very naked Youko cradled in his arms. Aya’s arms were around Yomi’s shoulders and his head was buried against his neck. Aya’s tail was trying it’s best to cover him as Yomi climbed the stairs headed for his private chamber.

Happy that Yomi seemed to like his gift Kurama went out into the garden.

It was late the next morning before Kurama saw Yomi again. The redhead was putting the finishing touches on the garden before leaving it in the hands of Yomi’s gardeners when the demon lord appeared. As Yomi entered the garden Kurama turned toward his friend and was surprised to find himself swept up in the demon’s arms and swung around.

Going along with his good mood Kurama clung to him and laughed. “Good morning old friend. Sleep well?”

After planting a firm kiss on Kurama’s lips Yomi growled. “Not a wink, thank you very much. Damn Kurama, Aya is beyond a doubt the best gift anyone has ever given me. Where in the hell did you find such a talented virgin.”

Kurama found his feet once again on the ground. With an arm around each other they began walking in the large garden. “Have you ever heard of a panther demon named Cole?

Yomi didn’t look surprised. “Of course. He traffics slaves legally because his victims sell themselves to him willingly. He’s known for having only the best merchandise. He finds the most beautiful and sensual demons, both male and female. He has a team that trains them in all forms of sexual pleasure. He’s also very selective in who he sells to. His security team deals harshly with anyone abusing the merchandise.”

Leading Yomi into the shade of a big tree Kurama pulled him down to sit in the grass. Without much resistance Kurama allowed himself to be held tightly in Yomi’s arms. “I contacted Cole a few days ago looking for something special to give you. Yesterday he brought me three very attractive Youko males to examine. As I recall Youko have always been your favorites. After speaking with them I chose Aya for you. As you know he’s extremely attractive. He’s tall and muscular enough not to appear feminine yet soft spoken and very graceful.”

Settled against Yomi’s chest Kurama began telling Yomi about Aya. “His Youko lineage is impeccable. His great-grandfather Ethan is famous among our people for his skill as a sword smith. His father was one of the few Youko to be acclaimed for his sword skill. When his parents were killed a few years ago in a fire their family fell on hard times. Ethan is too old now to practice his craft. The old man has a little shop where he and Aya clean and sharpen weapons but in this new modern age business isn’t good. With Aya and his younger sister Ana to care for it’s been hard for the family to get by.”

Yomi growled. “So wanting to take care of his elderly grandfather and his sister Aya was an easy mark for Cole.”

Kurama sighed. “Yes, but Aya says that Ana was actually Cole’s initial target. Using his virginity as a bargaining chip Aya negotiated a rather impressive price for himself. He also insured Ana’s safety by making it part of the deal that Cole would never approach her again.”

Completely at ease with his friend Kurama had his eyes closed as Yomi’s fingers gently stroked through his red hair. “Kurama, how long do I get to keep him?”

Hearing the excitement in Yomi’s voice Kurama smiled. “He’s yours for as long as you desire my friend. A day, a year or a life time, it’s up to you. There are only two conditions you have to keep for me. One is Cole’s rule that Aya never be harmed while in your care. The other is a promise I made to Aya. If you should ever tire of him you are to personally see to it that he is returned to his family.”

Kurama was so relaxed that he didn’t notice subtle changes in Yomi’s energy. “I’ll do even better than that Kurama. After he’s settled in I’ll take him to see his family and make sure they have everything they need. After that time I won’t force him to remain with me.”

Looking up at him Kurama smiled. “Thank you Yomi. I however hope you both fall madly in love and that you never want him to leave your side. You both deserve a little happiness.”

Yomi laughed. “You’ve become a true romantic my friend. Now we just have to see that you find love again. What are you going to do about those fools you’re in love with?”

The smile faded from Kurama’s face. “There’s nothing I can do Yomi. They have each other now so I don’t know why they keep trying to get to me. I don’t think after everything they meant to me that I’d be able to stand seeing them together. I just want to forget about them, go home and get on with my life.”

Kurama had known about the barriers Yomi used for some time now. Each was designed specifically to keep only Hiei and Yusuke away from the castle. What he failed to notice now was that Yomi was slowly adjusting the barriers allowing those same two demons to approach the garden. When they were just inside the garden, in clear view of Kurama nestled in Yomi’s arms, he suddenly halted their progress.

Hiei and Yusuke were forced to stand just out of reach and watch as Yomi tenderly held the man they loved. “Kurama, I want you to know that you will always have a safe haven here with me. That no matter what happens I always have your best interest at heart.”

Not allowing Kurama to respond Yomi pulled him closer and claimed his lips. Knowing he would soon be leaving Yomi’s protection Kurama surrendered to Yomi’s fierce embrace. The kiss was passionate yet tender and Kurama knew Yomi was saying goodbye. Caught up in the kiss Kurama didn’t feel Yomi reach into his pocket.

The first indication that something wasn’t right was when Yomi reached up to caress the back of his neck and it burned. With a gasp Kurama pulled away from the kiss and frightened green eyes turned to Yomi. “Relax Kurama, it’s only a small ward to inhibit the use of your spirit energy. It won’t last long, perhaps an hour or two depending on how hard you struggle.”

Kurama squeezed his eyes and shook his head in an effort to clear away the effect of the ward but it didn’t help. When he opened his eyes it took him a moment to realize that Yomi was addressing someone else. Looking up he was shocked to see Hiei and Yusuke standing over them. “There is a hunters cottage just beyond the trees to the west. I’ve had it prepared for you. There are barriers in place to prevent you from taking him any further unless he allows it. You have less than two hours to fix things with him before his powers return. If you hurt him in any way I will hunt you down and kill you myself.”

Kurama’s foggy mind barely registered what Yomi told them before Hiei and Yusuke each took him by an arm. Supported between them Kurama found himself led out of the garden. Glancing over his shoulder Kurama was about to call out for Yomi to help him when he saw Aya rush into his arms for a kiss. Without turning back Yomi led Aya into the castle allowing Hiei and Yusuke to take Kurama away.
