Key: ~dream~

`Telepathic talking'

`Thought'

You can really skip the dream if you want, I just got bored and wanted to mess with Hiei.

 

-----

 

~Monkeys. The entire room was filled with monkeys. Happy monkeys, sad monkeys, angry ones, laughing ones, and a monkey that played the cymbals. Then the monkeys all turned into foxes and they started to say some very dirty things. All of the foxes/monkeys/whatever-the-hell-they-were clumped together to form Yoko, who for some reason had big googly eyes. “Do you know hot to count to chicken?” Yoko asked. Yoko suddenly started laughing and that's when Hiei woke up. ~

 

“What the hell?” He muttered to himself. Hiei got out of bed and took a fast bath, coming back out dressed only in his black pants. He wasn't surprised to see Kurama lying on his bed. More often than not he found Kurama on his bed after he got done bathing. Probably why his dreams were so odd. “You have your own room.” Hiei said. Kurama rolled onto his good side to look at Hiei. “You have a better bed than me.” Kurama replied. Hiei sat down on the bed and said, “Liar.” Kurama chuckled and tugged Hiei closer, nuzzling his face in Hiei's damp hair.

 

He loved the way Hiei smelled after he had gotten out of the bath. It was a mix of the soap and Hiei's natural scent that Kurama couldn't get enough of. “You smell good.” Kurama said. Hiei scoffed in reply. “You do. I'm not talking about the soap either.” Kurama said. He moved Hiei into a more suitable position closer to him and nuzzled the koorime's neck. “You wouldn't say I smelled good if I just finished training.” Hiei stated.

“Maybe. But you do look very enticing with all that sweat running down your body and your skin is flushed.” Kurama's voice had taken on a sensual tone and he nibbled on Hiei's neck. “You're worse than that damn bat. You're too affectionate, it's only been five months.” Hiei said, squirming. “We can't do this at five months?” Kurama asked. “Hn.” Hiei replied. Kurama sighed and settled for resting against Hiei.

 

“Did you have a weird dream?” Kurama asked, changing the subject. “Yes. There were monkeys in it.” Hiei answered. Kurama raised a brow but didn't say anything. They stayed like that for a while, Kurama holding onto Hiei and Hiei being relaxed for once. Hiei reached back without looking and pulled a blue flower out of Kurama's hair. He moved his hand out in front of his face to look at the flower and twirled it with his thumb and forefinger. “Hallucinogen?” Hiei asked after getting a weird liquid on his fingers. “Mmhm. I didn't know you took an interest in my flowers Hiei.” Kurama answered. “They're…interesting.” Hiei replied. He wiped the liquid on his pants and handed the flower back to Kurama.

 

He twitched as he felt Kurama's fingers gliding over his bare stomach. Kurama's fingers moved again and Hiei twitched again. “Ticklish?” Kurama asked. “No.” Hiei answered. Kurama's fingers suddenly moved f aster and a quiet laugh escaped Hiei. “You are ticklish.” Kurama said. “I am- not.” The break in Hiei's sentence was because Kurama had tickled him again. “Just admit it Hiei. I'm ticklish too you know.” Kurama said, tickling Hiei again.

 

It took ten minutes and fifteen more tickles, but Kurama had gotten Hiei to laugh. Now where else was he ticklish...? Kurama tickled Hiei everywhere, starting from his stomach and going to the other's neck. As much as Hiei tried not to, he couldn't stop laughing and he couldn't manage to wiggle away from Kurama's merciless fingers. The fact that the two of them were still recovering from their injuries and probably shouldn't be doing this hadn't crossed their minds even once. So it seemed that Hiei would have to retaliate with the only weapon available to him.

 

Lightning fast, Hiei's fingers shot out and began tickling Kurama's neck. The fox's hands slowed for a moment and his face scrunched up before he started laughing. Hiei smirked (how he did that while laughing it's unclear) and moved his fingers to the plant master's stomach, noting that it made Kurama squeal. “H-Hiei! Stop!” Kurama squealed, wiggling to get away. “Hell nooo!” Hiei replied. Kurama tickled the sides of Hiei's neck and it almost stopped the koorime's attack.

 

Their tickle war finally ended with Kurama holding onto Hiei's wrists so as not to tickle him. “I told you, you were ticklish.” Kurama said. “Hn.” Hiei replied. Kurama let go of Hiei's wrists and intertwined their fingers together. “Don't be like that Hiei. Even though you lost the tickle fight, I have a consolation prize for you.” Kurama said. “What?' Hiei asked. “You have to close your eyes first.” Kurama replied. Hiei was somewhat wary, but a sweet smile from Kurama made him close his eyes slowly.

 

(1/2 Lemon! Not really a lime)

 

He felt gentle lips on his own and he remained still as Yoko continued kissing him. Hiei opened his eyes to see that the other's eyes were closed and his hands were free, more focused on kissing than anything else. Hiei began to respond and traced Yoko's ear with a fingertip, enjoying the shudder it invoked. Yoko's tongue swept against Hiei's closed lips several times before the koorime's tongue slid out to move against the fox's in slow, lazy movements.

 

Hiei's hand moved down from Yoko's ear and into his hair, curling the strands around his fingers. He gave it a slight tug and was surprised to get a moan from Yoko in response. Hiei smirked when they finally parted to breathe and looked at Yoko with darkened red orbs. He tugged on Yoko's hair again and the fox covered his mouth to stifle another moan. “Masochist.” Hiei said. Kurama brought his hand down and replied, “Sadist.” Hiei chuckled for a moment before kissing Yoko and giving his bottom lip a vicious bite.

 

Yoko made a noise that was a mix of a choked gasp and a moan. Hiei broke the kiss and smirked at Kurama's swollen lips. “That wasn't very nice.” Kurama said. “Whoever said I was nice?” Hiei replied. He pushed Kurama down onto his back and immediately attacked his neck, delivering nips and kisses. Yoko groaned loudly and moved a hand into Hiei's hair, toying with the strands. Hiei wasn't normally this energized during the few kissing sessions they had, but he was never was one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

 

Hiei's hand was still in his hair and tugged again, bringing his head up for another kiss. Yoko thought he heard a growl from Hiei and responded with one of his own. Their tongues met amidst their mouth and it was completely different from the first time. This time their tongues moved over one another passionately. Neither one gained the upper hand for dominance, but they weren't really trying.

 

The kiss was broken again and Hiei resumed his attack on Kurama's neck, sucking on the fox's pulse until it left a sufficient red mark on his skin. Kurama groaned and suddenly pulled Hiei into his lap after he sat up, hands moving to loosen the other's pants. Hiei gasped once Kurama found what he was looking for, squeezing and palming the growing hardness in Hiei's pants.

 

“Kurama…” Hiei moaned out, resting his forehead on Yoko's shoulder. “Well aren't you responsive today.” Kurama said, beginning to move his hand faster. Yoko slowed down for a moment and Hiei glanced up to see what was wrong. “If you don't want me to do this I can stop.” Yoko murmured. Hiei answered by thrusting into Yoko's hand and kissing him fiercely. He moaned again as Kurama's hand continued to move and the other went to squeeze Hiei's ass.

 

Hiei's breathing soon became shallow and his darkened eyes swirled with lust; for a moment something else flashed there, but it quickly faded. If Kurama had seen it in the other's eyes, he didn't say anything. Besides, Hiei wouldn't have admitted it was there. Kurama's hand stroked Hiei faster while his fingers gently pressed against his tight hole. Hiei shuddered as a wave of pleasure went through his body. How had it come to this so fast? The rational side of his brain-what was left of it anyway- was frantically telling him to stop before he got in any more deeper than he already was. But instead of saying stop, he opened his moth to allow Kurama's fingers inside, laving them with his tongue.

 

He sucked on them and listened to Yoko groan loudly. Yoko finally removed his fingers, but not before Hiei nipped his fingertips. He paused in his stroking to remove the koorime's pants completely and then resumed. Yoko could feel Hiei tense as he slowly forced two fingers inside of him, the other relaxing only once he stopped. “You okay?” Yoko asked. “I'm not made of glass fox.” Hiei answered, sounding irritated.

Kurama chuckled and slowly thrust his fingers in and out of Hiei, watching as he tried to suppress another shudder Yoko had been so preoccupied making sure he didn't hurt Hiei that he didn't realize Hiei's hands had moved away from his hair until he felt a bolt of pleasure shoot from the base of his tail and into the rest of his body. It only served as a reminder of how painfully hard he was underneath his clothes and that he had been neglecting his own needs.

 

He tried his best to moan quietly so as not to let Hiei know just how sensitive his tail was, but the swordsman seemed determined to make him be as loud as possible. Which is why when Hiei rubbed the base of his tail with his thumb, Yoko jerked and his fingers thrusted in a little too fast, causing the koorime to wince. Hiei thrusted down on Kurama's hand and shot the fox a look that was equivalent to, `don't stop damnit!'. Yoko squeezed Hiei's shaft with his hand and ran his thumb over the head, retribution for what Hiei did with his tail.

 

Hiei shivered as he felt himself nearing his peak. He was almost there…almost…and then the door opened just as Hiei came hard into Yoko's hand. Kuronue and some blonde-haired woman stumbled and judging by the flush on both their faces, they were drunk. Needless to say it was quite the awkward moment and Kuro looked from Yoko to Hiei to Yoko again. The blonde woman giggled as she clung to Kuro, breaking the silence. “Uh…wrong room…” Kuro said.

 

He didn't miss the venomous glare shot at him by Kurama when he left either. Hiei shifted uncomfortably and Yoko got the hint, carefully removing his fingers and letting go of his flaccid length. Hiei moved to leave but Kurama held onto his hips. “Not yet.” He said. Kurama gently laid Hiei on his back and kissed his way down the smaller one's chest, dipping his tongue into his navel along the way, Hiei shuddered and moaned as he felt Kurama's mouth on him, licking away all traces of his come. His hand moved down into its familiar place in Yoko's hair while he felt the other sucking him off.

 

Just as he felt himself getting hard again, Kurama stopped and released him with a wet pop. Yoko kissed him and pulled him back up into a sitting position at the same time. Hiei mumbled something about bathing and Kurama let him go. Hiei got off the bed and went towards the bathroom; Kurama had been sitting at the edge of the bed when Hiei turned around. “Hiei?” Kurama asked when the other walked back over to him. He was beginning to wonder why Hiei was staring at him oddly and was he actually blushing? Hiei only looked at Kurama for a second longer before quickly kissing him on the lips and when Yoko blinked, Hiei was gone. Kurama smiled; Hiei could be so cute at times.

 

Although his good mood was somewhat dampened when he glanced down at the prominent bulge in his clothes. He might as well do something constructive while Hiei was bathing. A part of him was miffed that Hiei had gotten his release before Kuro interrupted them, but he knew the swordsman wouldn't be in the mood again for a while.

 

For the most part Kurama enjoyed the shy side of Hiei that only seemed to come out when Kurama was being `too affectionate' as Hiei pt it and someone else was in the room. But it did get annoying at times, like now. Kurama sighed, after looking at the door for a moment and wiping his cum-stained hand on the sheets, he slid a hand inside his clothes, going to work on his erection.

Hiei looked up as a bird cried loudly and took off in flight, soaring into the sun. Hiei hopped off the root he had been standing on and continued his walk. He decided he wanted some fresh air and Kurama and Kuro went on a heist after he had gotten out of the bath anyway. A giant lizard slithered past him, but not before staring at him with its yellow eyes. Hiei made his way deeper into the forest.

 

He didn't have a specific destination in mind as long as he didn't get lost it wasn't a problem. He paused for a moment and looked around. His thumb pushed up his sword to reveal the metal and he waited. Hiei quickly turned around in time to block a sword slash that would have lopped his head off.

 

The attacker landed on the ground and chuckled. “That was pretty good Hiei, but your wrist is in the wrong position. If I had attacked any harder, there'd be a chance your wrist would be sprained.” Shigure said, chuckling again. “What the hell do you want Shigure?” Hiei asked. “Just wanted to see if you had what I asked for.” Shigure said.

 

Hiei smirked and put his sword away. “I have a story, but are you still able to implant the Jagan?” Hiei asked. “Of course, my new office is already set up. Why don't you come and see? It's not like you have anything better to do.” Shigure said, walking off. Hiei glared at the demon's back for a moment before following. No one ordered him around; it was the kind of thing hat grated on his nerves.

 

Still, if following this crazy surgeon meant he'd get the Jagan implanted sooner, then he could keep his anger in check. Hiei did notice that as he walked, the leaves were getting bigger and the sunlight was fading. They soon stopped in front of a tree that was several hundred feet high. “Right this way.” Shigure said, walking right through the tree. Hiei raised a brow and memorized the surroundings before walking through. If he had thought it was dark out there, it was nothing compared to where he was now.

 

`I am in a tree though.' He thought. Hiei looked around and saw Shigure up ahead and going through a box. “You might as well tell your story while I'm looking for the stuff.” Shigure said. “Fine.” Hiei replied. He then began to tell his story and it would be seven hours later that Hiei would finish. Currently Hiei was strapped down to a table staring up at the kind of surgical item you only see in horror movies.

 

The machine had a very sharp point to it and judging by the way it gleamed, it was cleaned often. “That was an interesting story Hiei and I have to wonder if it's true.” Shigure said, rubbing his chin in thought. “None of your damn business.” Hiei replied.

 

Shigure chuckled and walked over to a lever. “What's going to happen right now is after I pull this lever, that machine will fire a beam into your forehead. That way the Jagan will be implanted better. You may feel some slight discomfort,' Shigure chuckled at that, “but this is the worst part. Oh, before I forget: you can't tell anyone who gave you the Jagan. All the important people think I'm dead now and I'd like for them to keep thinking that for a while. And I want you to stop by as often as you can for sword training, This procedure is pretty draining, so no doubt you'll go down a few classes. Besides, your swordsmanship could use some work.” Shigure said.

 

Hiei thought about it for a moment as he stared up at the menacing machine. “Hn. There isn't anyone I want to tell.” Hiei replied. “You can scream if you want to. Some say it keeps their mind off the pain.” Shigure said, about to pull the lever. Hiei looked right at him and said, “I do not scream.” So Shigure pulled the lever.

Kurama's tail swished quickly behind him, twitching ever three seconds or so. The fast swishing would normally mean he was angry, but since his tail was also twitching it meant he was disgusted. Mostly because he had exerted himself more than he wanted to and so sweat was sticking his clothes to his body, but also because Kuro would not shut up.

 

“Did I say was sorry about walking in on you? Because I am. I think I had too much to drink…that wine was good though. I just lose my mind around women I guess. Did I say I was sorry? Because-“ “Kuro. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.” Yoko said, cutting his friend off mid-rant. Kuronue looked at him and gave an apologetic smile. “So where's Shrimp-ei? I haven't seen him since this morning and that was ten hours ago.” Kuro said.

 

“Hiei probably went out training. He'll come back when he wants to.” Yoko replied. “Yeah. Hey, you remember that guy that showed up at the heist? I think he should join our group.” Kuro said. “I don't know…there was something off about him.” Yoko answered. “Think about it. I'm gonna take a shower.” Kuro said, patting Yoko on the shoulder. Kuronue walked off and

 

Kurama entered his room, surprised to find Hiei on his bed. His second surprise was that it was completely dark in his room, save for a few candles. He saw a shadow slide under the door and since there was a glass of water with its liquid slightly shaking, surmised the shadow to be one of his servants. Yoko walked over to the glass and saw a note that said, `Requested painkillers but none relived pain. Tried to get stronger pills, but were locked in cabinet. -Staff.' `Why would Hiei need painkillers?' Kurama thought. And judging by the different empty bottles, he had taken some pretty strong pills.

 

Kurama slowly walked over to his bed and sat down next to Hiei. “Hiei?” Kurama asked, gently brushing the koorime's arm. Hiei didn't answer and Kurama wasn't that surprised: all those painkillers were bound to knock the other out. Still, he brushed Hiei's arm again and this time got a groan. “Kurama?” Hiei asked, his voice raspy. “Are you okay?” “More or less.” Hiei answered.

Kurama tried to get Hiei to face him, but the other didn't move. “Then why won't you look at me?” Kurama asked. “I'm tired.” Hiei replied. Kurama sighed and got off the bed. “Fine. I'm going to go take a bath.” He said, “Kurama.” Hiei said, making the fox pause. Kurama looked at him and he could see ruby eyes staring back at him. Hiei mumbled something and Kurama smiled “I know.” Kurama said, heading into the bathroom. When Kurama got back out, he found Hiei standing on a chair picking the lock to one of his cabinets.

 

Kurama crept up behind the swordsman and wrapped his arms around the smaller's waist, pressing his slightly damp body against Hiei's. “You know, a key would work so much better.” Kurama murmured into Hiei's ear. “A lock-pick words just as well.” Hiei calmly replied. Kurama nuzzled his face into Hiei's hair and didn't expect to feel a bandage. “Hiei, you know the medicine in my cabinet is really potent-“ “Yes.” “-And too much can kill you-“ “Yes.” “-So why exactly do you need those painkillers? And why is there a bandage on your head?” Kurama asked. “I hurt myself while I was training.” Hiei answered. “Did you hit your head?” “Something like that.”

 

Hiei unlocked the cabinet and started rooting around for painkillers. “You're not going to tell me are you?” Kurama asked rhetorically, grabbing the right bottle. He set it down next to the glass of water and moved out of the way so that Hiei could get down. Hiei turned around to face Kurama and Yoko could see the bandage covered his forehead as well. Hiei reached up and slowly unwound the bandage, revealing the Jagan.

 

A wave of demonic energy pulsed through the room, going through anything, which included Kurama. Kurama visibly shivered as he stared at the Eye until Hiei closed the Jagan and covered it back up with the bandage. “When did you get that?” Kurama asked. Hiei took the cap off the bottle and shook some pills out, saying, “Around this morning. How many am I supposed to take?” Kurama looked at the number of pills he had taken out and put them all back except one.

 

“You're going to be out of it for a while once you take this.” Kurama said. “That's better than feeling you're being ripped in half.” Hiei replied. He downed the pill with the glass of water and yawned a few moments after. “Since you woke me up, I'm going back to sleep.” Hiei said. He got back into bed while Kurama looked in his closet for clothes to wear.

`Don't bother putting on clothes. You look better this way.' Kurama heard from within his mind. He chuckled and picked out a sunset red outfit, slipping it on. `But I'll get cold.' Kurama mentally replied. He got under the covers with Hiei and immediately snuggled up next to him. `I can keep you warm.' Hiei said.

 

Kurama could feel Hiei's hands trying to divest him of his clothes and chuckled again. Hiei was being uncharacteristically forward, but it could always be blamed on the pills. Or it could be blamed on wanting to see him naked longer. After more prodding from Hiei, Kurama slipped right back out of his clothes. `Now I wonder why I bothered getting dressed.' Kurama said, mentally sighing. `Because I can't undress you with my eyes if you're not dressed.' Hiei replied.

 

Kurama smiled and pulled the koorime closer, letting the other rest his head on his shoulder. His tail movedto rub against Hiei's back and Kurama heard him sigh. “Better?” Kurama asked quietly. Hiei gave an affirmative mumble. Kurama looked at Hiei as the candlelight flickered over his body. The swordsman actually had his shirt on for once and he had a peaceful expression on his face, something Kurama knew was reserved only for him.

 

To make it simple, Hiei looked really cute right now. Kurama looked back down at Hiei's face and noticed the flush on his cheeks. “I don't do cute.” Hiei muttered. Kurama snickered and kissed the top of Hiei's head. “So what do you think you look like now?” The fox asked.

 

Hiei didn't answer and Kurama soon found out it was because he fell asleep. “Kawaii.” Kurama whispered, lightly brushing Hiei's cheek. It seemed Hiei hadn't fallen completely asleep, since Kurama received a mental threat involving a whip from Hiei. Kurama chuckled a third time before letting himself fall asleep.

 

---

 

There was a crash as Hiei went through a wall, only to be stopped by the roots of a tree. He pulled himself out of the tree with an angry growl. They had been at this for six hours and even though Hiei had damaged Shigure substantially, he had gone through three walls already. “Don't hold your sword so tightly. You'll end up with a broken arm that way.” Shigure said.

The demon could be very annoying at times, but he did seem to know something about swordsmanship. Hiei flipped forward and slashed at Shigure's sword arm. He only slashed an after-image and Shigure stabbed at Hiei's back, also getting an after-image. This went on for a while before Hiei sliced Shigure's side open.

 

They both landed on the ground and the surgeon grinned. “Nice job. Try this.” Ten different imaged of Shigure moved around Hiei, each one looking just as real as the first. “See if you can find the real one. “ Shigure said. Hiei looked at all the different copies and waited. When they all charged forward, Hiei jumped out of the way and attacked the image in the middle. This time it was Shigure who was flung into a wall and hit a large root hard.

 

Hiei smirked while Shigure attempted to dislodge himself from the tree. When Shigure did get out, his face was a mix of annoyance and self-amusement. “That's enough for today. I need to get these walls rebuilt again and I have other things to attend to.” Shigure said. Hiei didn't reply and walked over to where he had tossed his coat. He picked it up and began to walk off, hearing Shigure call out, “Remember what I said about gripping the sword hilt.” Once Hiei was outside the tree, he looked up at the sky and judged the time by the daylight.

 

A flock of birds flew overhead and Hiei watched the sunlight reflect over their blue feathers for a moment before continuing walking. He picked his way through moss and marching lines of iridescent beetles. Hiei could see the almost imperceptible ripple of the base's cloaking spell in the distance and a miniscule smile formed on his face as he saw just who was waiting for him up ahead.

 

Kurama smiled after he saw Hiei making his way towards him and kept himself busy by petting the fox that was sitting beside. When Hiei got close enough, the fox moved and looked Hiei up and down, sniffing him in a few places. “A friend of yours?' Hiei asked. “Cute isn't she? I found her after that heist Kuronue and I went on. She was being mistreated, so I decided to take her home with me.” Kurama said. The fox then started dig her nose into Hiei's pockets and in one of them she found a flower.

 

Hiei made a swipe towards the fox but she nimbly jumped away and gave it to Kurama,. It fell in my pocket.” Hiei said, stopping Kurama from saying anything. “Did you give her a name yet?” Hiei asked. “I was thinking of letting her name herself.” Kurama answered. Hiei looked at the fox for a moment before sitting down next to Kurama. “Why don't we name her Moki?” Judging by the fox's growl, she didn't like Hiei's suggestion. “You didn't like that name idea when I tried it either.” Yoko pointed out.

 

`I would like to be called Taiyou if you please. Although my coat is brown now, perhaps I will show you what it really looks like.' The newly named Taiyou said, looking at Yoko and Hiei directly. Hiei looked at Yoko and said, “She's not sleeping in my bed.” `I wouldn't want to sleep there anyway. You smell too sweaty for my liking.' Taiyou said. She nuzzled against Kurama before walking towards the base. `I'm going to take a bath and find my room. Don't worry, I won't get lost.' Taiyou said, her tail swishing behind her.

 

“She's too pampered. You said she was being mistreated?” Hiei asked, skepticism in his voice. “That's just how she comes off. I can tell she's really sweet on the inside. Sort of like you Hiei.” Yoko said, looking at the koorime. Hiei's smile returned and he leaned against Yoko, looking at the leaves on the ground. Yoko moved his hand down to grasp Hiei's and intertwined their fingers together. He watched a pair of butterflies head towards the sky with a content smile on his face. “Kurama?' “Hmm?” “What are you thinking about?” “You.” Yoko said.

 

Hiei was quiet for a moment and Yoko felt his hand being squeezed gently. He then found himself lying on his back on the ground with Hiei on top of him. Hiei reached out and gently rubbed Yoko's ear, listening to the other hum in approval. Yoko closed his eyes and sighed, almost forgetting that he was getting twigs and the like in his hair.

 

“What did you do today?” “Training.” Hiei replied, moving his fingers into Yoko's hair. “Did you learn anything?” “…Hitting a tree hurts worse than going through a wall.” Hiei got a weird look from Yoko at that, but nothing more. After a while Yoko sat up and shook his head, dislodging most of the forest from his hair. “Let's head back. I think the ants were trying to turn my hair into a new home.” Kurama said.

 

Hiei gave a slight nod and moved off Kurama, standing up not too soon after. Kurama got to his feet and after a quick shake of his clothes to remove any leaves, the two set off for home.

 

----

 

“Hiei, it's not going to bite you.” Kurama said. “Hn.” Hiei replied. Taiyou curiously sniffed at the different flowers in the room and sneezed after smelling a couple. She glanced over at the two demons before continuing her exploration. The two of them could be so odd at times. Kurama looked from the orange flower to Hiei. The koorime had been perfectly fine helping him water and feed his other plants, but this one he didn't appear to like very much. “No it won't. Look.” Kurama said. He moved his hand forward and lightly brushed the flower's petals.

 

“That's only because it knows not to bite the hand that feeds it. It probably perceives me as a threat.” Hiei said. To further prove his point, Hiei reached out to touch the plant, only to quickly move his hand back when it tried to bite him. The swordsman shot Kurama an `I told you so' look and walked over to a different plant. Taiyou walked over to him and started sniffing him again.

 

`Lovely. You smell much better than you did earlier. Did you and Kurama have a good rut while I was gone?' Taiyou asked. `We didn't do that out in the woods. Kurama deserves better and besides, he'd complain about the stones digging into his back while I took him.' Hiei said. `Do you really think that Yoko Kurama is going to be uke?' Taiyou asked dubiously. Hiei turned to look at Kurama and smirked. `He's not going to have a choice.' Hiei answered. Kurama felt a chill go down his spine and turned to see Taiyou and Hiei starting at him. “What? Is there something on my face?” Yoko asked, touching it to make sure. “No, but there will be something in your ass apparently.' Taiyou said, making Hiei blush ever so lightly.

 

She brushed her tail against Hiei's leg and for a few seconds her fur changed from brown to a luminescent reddish-orange. `That was for amusing me.' Taiyou said, her green eyes sparkling. She padded off to a flower next to Yoko and prodded it with her nose. Hiei tried to move but found that a plant behind him had wrapped it vines around his arm. Hiei looked at it and saw that the flower's petals had turned a deep purple with golden swirls on top. Yoko moved closer to Hiei and upon seeing the flower, chuckled. “I moved this one because it was too big from my room and now it seems to have taken a liking to you.” He said.

 

“Why is it purple? It was white earlier.” Hiei said. “Remember that white rose I used in our last battle? This is where I got the seed from.” Kurama replied. He chuckled as the vines tried to cling onto his arm. “So the reason it's purple is because your emotions are going into the plant.” `Which means that the golden swirls mean he's thinking about you naked again.' Taiyou interjected, watching a plant sway. “No one asked you.” Hiei said.

 

Kurama smiled and suddenly kissed Hiei on the cheek, watching as the other tried not to blush. `Are you two going to go at it again? I swear…' Taiyou muttered to herself. Hiei at this point had successfully untangled himself from the plant's vines and walked out. “Why did you say that? You know he's sensitive at times.” Yoko said, giving Taiyou a disapproving look. `That just makes him even more than an uke than he already was.' Taiyou replied. “Don't smell too many flowers or you'll get high.” Kurama said before he left.

 

Taiyou sniffed and continued perusing the plants, thinking about how weird they were again. Kurama found Hiei meditating on the floor and softly closed the door. He sat down in front of Hiei and his tail swept against the other's leg. “I'm not mad. Taiyou's voice started to grate on my nerves.' Hiei said. Kurama smirked and his tail moved again against Hiei's stomach. “No doubt she's tormenting Kuro by now. “ Kurama replied.

 

They suddenly heard Kuronue swearing loudly and both chuckled. Hiei opened his eyes and moved until he was in Kurama's lap. He pressed his cheek against Kurama's chest and mumbled something. “What?” Kurama asked. “Hn.” Hiei replied, obviously not wanting to repeat what he said. Kurama threaded his fingers through Hiei's hair and once again felt the bandage that was covering the Jagan.

 

“Does it still hurt?” He asked quietly. “Sometimes. It's sensitive to light.” Hiei answered. The swordsman suddenly yawned and rubbed his eyes. A few moments later though he was glaring at Kurama who had an innocent smile on his face. “Don't call me that.” Hiei demanded. “I didn't say anything Hiei. Maybe you should stop reading my thoughts love.” Kurama replied smoothly. Hiei made a noise that was similar to a huff and it almost looked like he was pouting.

 

But a Hiei doesn't pout or make huffy noises. Either way, Kurama chuckled and kissed Hiei. “If you don't want me to call you that, then maybe you shouldn't act like it.” Kurama said. Hiei glared at Kurama for a few more seconds before smirking and tugging Kurama's head down for a kiss.

 

(Warning: Lemon! Read at your own risk!)

 

Hiei gained dominance of the kiss for a while and had free reign of Kurama's mouth, taking complete advantage of it. Kurama let Hiei have his fun for a while before nipping the other's tongue and moving his own against his. Kurama then pushed Hiei up against the foot of the bed and broke the kiss to attack Hiei ear instead, Hiei groaned quietly and Kurama chuckled in his ear.

 

“What's so funny?” Hiei asked. “Nothing really. I was merely thinking of how quickly we went from talking to kissing. It always seems to come as a surprise to me.” Yoko said, tracing the shell of Hiei's ear with his tongue. “If no one interrupts us this time, you'll get another surprise fox.” Hiei replied, redirecting the other's lips for another kiss. Yoko's nails dug into Hiei's skin and he used his knee to move Hiei's leg aside, brazenly moving his hand between Hiei's legs.

 

Hiei moaned into Yoko's mouth and the fox used that opportunity to force Hiei's tongue into submission with his own. Hiei allowed Yoko that small victory in favor of ripping off the upper half of Kurama's clothes, surprising the other. “I'm not going to have any clothes left if that becomes a habit.” Yoko mumbled against Hiei's lips. “Don't wear any clothes and it won't.” Hiei replied with an evil chuckle. By now Kurama's hand had slipped inside Hiei's pants and he stroked the growing erection inside, making Hiei moan louder.

 

Yoko then ripped Hiei's pants clean off in retribution for his ripped clothes. Hiei glared at Kurama but there was no anger in his eyes, only lust and one other emotion that Hiei still refused to name. Yoko moved to kiss Hiei again, but only got air as Hiei moved to sit on Kurama's bed. The fox frowned for a second before following Hiei onto the bed and pinning him down. “Mine.” Yoko said, his golden eyes glowing dangerously.

 

A blush blossomed on Hiei's cheeks and the koorime cursed at himself for acting this way. Yoko kissed Hiei on the cheek before tugging the other's shirt up and over. Hiei shivered, but it wasn't from the cold. Kurama moved Hiei's hand towards the bulge in his tattered clothes, groaned once it reached its goal. Yoko lowered himself onto Hiei and started placing feather-light kisses on the swordsman's chest. “You might as well rip the rest of it off.” Kurama said, moving his lips closer to Hiei's nipple. It took a few seconds for Hiei's pleasure-hazed mind to figure out he was talking about his clothes and curled his fingers around the other's length. Yoko closed his eyes and groaned loudly while Hiei gave his erection an experimental squeeze. Yoko pumped Hiei's shaft in response and it became a battle for whom would last the longest.

 

Hiei arched his back when Kurama ran his thumb over the head of his erection. A gasp escaped him and Kurama chuckled around his nipple. Hiei squeezed Kurama roughly and moved his hand faster, intent on making the kitsune come. Yoko gave his nipple a bite before moving to the other, not missing the curse thrown his way. Yoko shuddered as another wave of pleasure surged through him and redoubled his efforts. “Mmm Hiei, that feels so good…” Yoko moaned out, thrusting into Hiei's and. He tilted his head back to moan again and felt the koorime hardening even further in his hand.

 

Kurama repositioned himself to kiss Hiei and ground their hips together, eliciting a moan from both of the, “Ah, Hiei…so good, that feels so good…” Kurama said, is words almost being devoured by Hiei's ardent kisses. Hiei's' entire body was quaking and Yoko could tell he was close; then again, he wasn't too far of himself. “Come form e Hiei.” Kurama growled out, giving Hiei a final squeeze. Hiei shuddered and moaned out Yoko's name, following Kurama's demand. Yoko managed to hold his own orgasm at bay and moved Hiei's hand away from his cock. After Hiei gave Kurama a questioning look, he only said, “Not yet.” Hiei grabbed Kurama's hand moved it near his lips, his eyes on the other while he licked his hand clean. Yoko groaned as Hiei tongue swirled around his fingers before sucking them into his mouth.

 

Yoko's cock throbbed painfully and he wished Hiei's mouth were sucking that instead of his fingers. Hiei sucked on Kurama's fingers for a few more seconds before allowing the fox the pull them out, a thin line of saliva connecting his fingers to Hiei's lips. Yoko kissed Hiei while his hand went down between the koorime's legs before going even lower. Kurama's fingers gently pressed against Hiei's entrance, making the other tense up. “Hiei?” Yoko asked tracing a finger around Hiei's hole.

 

Hiei seemed to be having a mental debate with himself, but a few minutes later he gave a slow, shy nod. Kurama then got an idea and moved away from Hiei to hand over the bed, tail twitching while he looked for something. Hiei looked at Yoko's tail and couldn't resist rolling over and reaching out to rub the base, rustling in Kurama almost falling over. “Hiei…don't do…that.” Yoko said shivering. Hiei smirked and did it again, despite what Kurama had said.

 

Yoko shuddered more violently and he was relived when he found the bottle. Any more of that he would end up coming in the sheets .He turned back around and swatted Hiei's hand for teasing him. Kurama pulled the cork out of the bottle and Hiei instantly smelled jasmine. The fire demon shot Yoko a look that said, `Use that on me and lose an arm.' “C'mon Hiei, it'll feel really good.” Kurama said, his tail brushing Hiei's leg. Hiei rolled back onto his back and gave Kurama the same look.

 

“I don't want to hurt you.” Yoko said quietly. That made Hiei's look fade away he glanced off to the left. “I can handle pain. But…since you seem to have this ridiculous notion of wanting to be gentle, I'll humor you and allow it.” Hiei said. Kurama smiled and begun pouring the sweet-smelling liquid on his hand. “That doesn't mean I'm uke.” Hiei said. “Mmhm.” Kurama replied; you could tell he hadn't been listening. His fingers returned to their earlier spot and he slowly slipped a finger inside. Hiei tried his best not to show any outwards signs of pain, but the few times he twitched no doubt gave it away.

 

Yoko looked at Hiei's face and stopped moving his hand once he caught Hiei twitching. He kissed Hiei to distract him while he moved his finger in deeper. Hiei seemed to have a relaxed a bit and Kurama slid two more fingers inside. It earned him a bite on the lip and a warning growl. Yoko smiled against Hiei's lips and thrusted his three fingers deeper inside, making Hiei gasp.

 

Kurama shuddered as he felt Hiei's fingers massaging his tail base again and he almost forgot what he was doing. Hiei continued torturing Kurama and gave the fox's tail a tug, listening to the other moan.

 

Yoko made scissoring motions with his fingers and plunged them deeper, hitting a bundle or nerves that made Hiei arch his back and say his name. He couldn't help but chuckle at the fact that he normally y stoic and silent swordsman was the complete opposite while ensnared in the throes of passion. Yoko thrusted his fingers in and out of Hiei for a little while longer before removing them. Kurama lined himself up with Hiei's entrance and looked up at the other to make sure he really wanted this. All it earned him was an annoyed glare and a, “Hurry the fuck up fox.” Yoko gave Hiei his own annoyed look and thrusted inside, making both demons groan.

 

He waited a few moments to let Hiei adjust and he couldn't help but think about how tight Hiei was. Yoko tried not to make a habit of comparing his past lovers, but the koorime was definitely better than any of the others. He moved his hands onto Hiei's hips and Hiei thrusted down to signal he was ready. Hiei felt the fox pull out of him almost all the way before ramming himself back inside. Except for that earlier moment, there was no time to adjust and Kurama thrusted in and out of Hiei savagely, grunting with the effort. “Mmm…Hiei…so fucking tight.” Yoko groaned.

 

Hiei gave a throaty chuckle coupled with a slight moan and his sweat-soaked hair clung to his face. :”It seems you`ve lost some of your eloquence Kurama.” Hiei said before stifling a gasp. Kurama moved Hiei's legs up on his shoulders and caused Hiei to moan loader than he had before. Through all of this, Yoko's hand had yet to stop stroking Hiei's shaft and the swordsman felt he was nearing the end. “Yoko…” Hiei moaned, shudders racking his body.

 

Yoko kept fucking Hiei into the mattress and leaned down to nibble Hiei's ear, despite the fact that it was forcing Hiei's legs to bend in an odd way. “You're close aren't you Hiei? The feeling of my cock hitting your prostate again and again is making you want to come isn't it?” Kurama whispered, his voice barely above a pant but still able to pull off a seductive purr. His tongue traced the shell of Hiei's ear before biting the tip, making Hiei shudder.

 

“Don't ask questions you know the answer to.” Hiei replied. He smirked and redirected Kurama's head for a kiss. “Don't think that I'm coming first again. I know you're holding back fox. Don't.” Hiei said, his eyes ablaze with emotions. Kurama chuckled and kissed Hiei hard on the mouth and thrusted harder and faster into the other's body. Demonic energy crackled over Kurama's body and swirled around Hiei's before hitting the bed or the wall, leaving scorch marks.

 

He hadn't noticed Kurama's lips had reached his neck until he felt the other's teeth sink into his neck. Hiei gave a choked gasp and tugged on the fox's tail again, which only made Kurama bite harder.

 

A wave of possessiveness went through Hiei and he bit Yoko on the opposite side of the same place he was being bitten. Emotions were mixed, thoughts shared, memories intertwined and they both shared the same feeling of togetherness.

 

Only a second later did Hiei feel Kurama coming inside of him and he followed not too soon after. Yoko removed his teeth from Hiei's neck and sighed softly once Hiei did the same. “Hiei.” “Kurama.” They weren't fools, even as they looked art each other, they knew what they had done. The question was: did one of them regret it? “Are you-“ Yoko began. “I care about you.” Hiei said, cutting Kurama off.

 

Kurama smiled when he got what Hiei was trying to say. He kissed him while pulling out of the other's body. “I care about you too Hiei.” Yoko said, moving to lie down next to Hiei. Hiei turned to ace Kurama and the fox was surprised to see a blush on his face. Hiei didn't say anything and snuggled closer to Kurama, resting his cheek on his chest. Kurama watched Hiei try to fight off going to sleep and came to realization that intimate contact made Hiei very vulnerable.

 

It was cute in a way, so long as the koorime was only vulnerable around him. Hiei yawned despite his best efforts to stop it and began wondering why the fox was looking at him that way. “What?” Hiei asked, breaking the silence. “I just realized that, even with everything that's happened so far, I still know so little about you.” Yoko said. “Hn.” What do you want to know?” Hiei asked.

 

Kurama blinked; he hadn't actually expected Hiei to say that. “Umm…do you have any siblings?” That seemed like a good place to start. “I have a sister…her name is Yukina.” Hiei said. “Is she a fire demon like you?” “No. She's an ice demon. We share the same mother but different fathers.” Hiei said. Yoko was quiet for a moment and Hiei thought he was done asking questions.

 

“Why did you get the Jagan?” Kurama asked. “…So I could keep the people I care about safe.” Hiei said. Kurama seemed satisfied with that answer and settled down to go to sleep. Hiei closed his eyes and sighed softly, using Kurama's heartbeat to help lull him to sleep.
