Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Identity Crisis 2: Hiei's Turn ❯ Side Story!! Marriage ( Chapter 3 )

You asked for it! The side story to my Identity Crisis series!! Here is when they get married!

Marriage

Kurama set Akira in her cradle and walked back to the master bedroom where Hiei waited for him. It had been a year since the Kurama-turned-a-woman fiasco and they had a nice apartment to live in. Hiei still left every once in a while to help Mukuro but he always returned within a week or so. Now his love was back and would be for a while.

"Hi, love," said Kurama walking in the room and scooting next to Hiei.

"Hn." And Hiei snuggled against Kurama's chest.

"Hiei, I was wondering what do you feel about getting married?"

"Why should I?"

"Because I've thought about getting married, a lot."

"Stupid fox, of course I have."

"Really?"

"Yes, can I go to sleep now?"

"Are you serious or do you just want to go to sleep?"

"Both."

"Okay, love."

As the two feel asleep two small tears fell from one's eyes.

****************

"So who should we invite?" asked Kurama the next morning.

"You want a ningen wedding?" asked Hiei half way through his breakfast. Akira stared at her two parents as she at the oatmeal her father heated for her. It was the only thing he could make since Kurama did most of the cooking. Hiei remembered what he and Kurama talked about the night before and gave it some thought. He was hoping for a Makai Joining but obviously Kurama wanted a ningen wedding.

"It would be nice," said Kurama. "Shiori was hoping for one but if you want a Joining then we could try to do both."

"Is that what you want, Kurama?"

"Hiei, quit asking what I want! What do you want?"

"I don't know what I want."

"Do you want a Joining or a ningen wedding?"

"I guess I want a Joining."

"We can do that."

"But you want a ningen wedding."

"Yes, it would make Kaasan and me happy."

"Boff!"

Kurama and Hiei looked at their daughter who was covered in oatmeal. She smiled at her parents and waved her spoon.

"Do boff!" she squealed again.

"Smart girl," said Hiei.

"So we'll do both?"

Hiei shrugged, "Sure."

Kurama smiled and kissed his love. Akira giggled at the scene.

*****************

They told everyone and started to prepare for the ceremonies. The Makai Joining didn't need any preparation. Kurama and Hiei just needed to be there. But they decided to have both rituals on the same day and had to get ready for the ningen ceremony. Kurama made the flowers easily and the girls made the food. Shiori insisted on tailoring their outfits. The location was easy. Genkai would let them use the temple as the place. The old shihan wasn't looking too well and Koenma said that she had maybe three years left. She said that she'd hoped to live long enough to see her children married, meaning the gang. They promised to wed soon.

The wedding was set for the next month to give Shiori time to sew and Kurama started to get worried about rings. Shiori didn't have her old wedding rings any more and there wasn't any time to buy them.

"Kurama, don't worry. I'll get the rings," said Hiei.

"Not Makai rings. Those could have magic in them."

"Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I do, koi, I just don't want magic rings."

"Don't worry. They'll be none magic."

But Kurama still worried after that.

*****************

The wedding day came. Hiei was nervous, or as Yusuke and Kuwabara called it cold feet. He would be the one to walk down the aisle. That was why he was nervous. He never did anything like this, except in the Tournaments but then his mind was occupied by the fights, not saying vows of unconditional love to his fox. He straightened the hem of his black-red Chinese tunic with a silver fox embroider in it with gold eyes. Shiori did a good job with it. Kurama wore one identical to it, white and red with a black dragon on it with red eyes. It was really a work of craftsmanship.

Hiei sighed as Yukina knocked on the door.

"Hiei-san, we're ready. Kurama is waiting."

Hiei nodded and checked himself one more time. He was ready as he'll ever be; time to get it over with. He followed Yukina out and waited for her to join the girls. Yusuke and Kuwabara were their best men and Genkai was doing the ceremony, denying being weak and said that she would do that. No one argued with her. Kurama waited by Yusuke as Hiei walked down to him, feeling slightly embarrassed. Why Hiei chose Kuwabara as his best man was a mystery to everyone and Hiei would never tell. Now he just wanted to get this darn ceremony over with.

He joined Kurama's side and held his hand as Genkai recited the vows, her raspy voice somehow coming strong and clear. Akira was held by Shiori in her black and white kimono with a black fox on it.

"Okay, who's the man here?"

"I am," said Kurama as everyone tittered. Hiei sent them a glare and they shut up.

"Okay, Kurama do you take Hiei to be you husband to have and to hold till death do you part and your lives after?"

"I do."

"Hiei, do you take Kurama to be your husband to have and to hold till death do you part and you lives after?"

Hiei didn't say anything. Kurama was beginning to worry if he had backed out. He hoped Hiei didn't. They had waited a long time for this and if Hiei backed out Kurama didn't know what he was going to do.

"Hn, I do," said Hiei and Kurama silently breathed a sigh of relief.

"Always like to keep us in suspense, eh shrimp?" said Kuwabara

"You don't even know the meaning of the word."

"Why, I. . . "

"Guys, not now," said Yusuke.

"Who has the rings," asked Genkai.

"Oh, I do," chirped Yusuke and fished in his pocket and handed the rings to Hiei. "Nice craftsmanship too."

Hiei nodded and took the rings.

"Exchange the rings please," said Genkai and Hiei gave one of the rings to Kurama. Kurama opened his hand to find a black wedding band made from a tear gem, Hiei's tear gem! When did he cry?

"When . . . "he asked as Hiei slipped his ring on Kurama's finger.

"The night you asked. I guess I was happy."

Kurama smiled and slipped his ring on Hiei's finger. From right then Hiei never looked more perfect in Kurama's eyes. His face held that half smile of his and his eyes that would normally hold hatred and anger now held love for the red-head in front of him. And to Hiei Kurama looked more beautiful then when he met the fox. His crimson hair brushed till it gleamed and his face held a loving smile to his mate, as did the look in his eyes. For a moment there was no temple no audience witnessing their commitment to each other, just a fox and a dragon sharing a world of their own. Now they were going to make it a reality.

They placed their hands against each other and allowed their suppressed ki to rise to their fullest. Then they embraced each other as their energy gathered as one and engulf the two. For a moment they were one, one body, one mind, one heart, and one spirit. They went through each other's memories and felt each other's pain, how Kurama felt when Kuronue died to save him and how Hiei felt when he was banished from his birth land. How each felt for each other when they first met and the betrayal Hiei felt when Kurama help Yusuke in the fight in the warehouse. The happiness they had when they confessed their feelings and the joy when Akira was born. For a moment they felt they held the most powerful force in the universe, which they did and a lot of others. Love.

The mass of energy dispersed as the spectators watched the awesome event. The two joined released each other and smiled.

"I now announce that these men are now one!" said Genkai and everyone cheered.

"Hey, shouldn't they kiss," asked Kuwabara.

"Can it, idiot," said Yusuke and hit his friend.

"I think Kuwabara is right," said Kurama. "It is tradition to kiss."

"Fox, don't you even mhmmhn." Hiei couldn't say any more as Kurama captured his lips and gave him a long passionate kiss. Hiei decided that to hell with the others. He had his fox.
