Chapter 2
Resurrection
The day is warm and the grass is green. A picnic today was a fabulous idea and Kurama beams as his favorite environment comforts him. For some reason he simply can't be blue today. Normally the worst day of the year for him, and yet here he is laughing with friends... how long could this last?
His family is over talking with Botan and Keiko. The gang had slipped over toward some trees to discuss Kurama's search plan. It would effectively take them no more than six hours to search the entire area that the demon could have reached without detection. For some reason it didn't seem as though it was trying very hard to run from them, Koenma expects it to still be in the Tokyo area.
Kurama leans back against an old oak, a bit away from the others. He lifts his nose to take in all the wonderful scents of today and idly rubs the smooth pendant hidden safely in his pocket. As he releases it he extends his energy outward brushing against his beloved plants and the forest they gather in. Majestic oaks, tiny daisies, moss, mushrooms, and... demon? Kurama inhales deeply to confirm and nearly chokes.
His sharp intake of breath catches the others attention. Yusuke might have asked him what the problem is but Kurama isn't paying attention. He is staring dead ahead. That scent and aura are unmistakable to him. The brush of it against his is enough to send shivers down his spine. The others have picked up on it by now and they wait in anticipation. Hiei grabs his sword while Kuwabara forms his. Yusuke powers up. The girls and his family realize there is an intruder, they keep a careful distance.
He steps out of the trees. Long black hair, pale white skin, and dark purple eyes that don't stray from a certain red-head. His hat is still tattered, and his clothes are as filthy and torn as Kurama remembers. Those black wings flutter in excitement, flutter to the erratic beat of Kurama's heart. Green eyes are transfixed as his old partner walks right out of his dreams, though as usual, not a hint of surprise crosses either thief's face.
A standoff.
Kuronue slowly moves closer and closer to Kurama. The Fox does not budge, neither to run, nor grab a weapon. Yusuke screams obscenities... Hiei is probably threatening... Kuwabara is blathering about something... but neither of them pay any attention. Kuronue stops, leaving a foot between them. Slowly he reaches a hand out and runs it down the right side of Kurama's face, inch by sensual inch. When he finally withdraws it, he holds a single red rose, Kurama's rose. He breathes deeply taking in the scent.
"Twenty-five years hasn't even changed the scent that is forever burned into my brain. A single red rose behind your right ear and a certain pendant in your left pocket... you really are my Foxy aren't you?" Kurama nods once, but says nothing as of yet. Kuronue twirls his pendant idly in his left hand. "Now I could go about trying to convince you that I am who I am... but what would be the point of that? After all, if you weren't sure you never would have let me have either."
Kurama smiles. "There wasn't a doubt in my mind from the moment you stepped onto the field."
Kuronue smiles for a moment and the it fades, he rubs his pendant thoughtfully. "You kept it."
Green eyes flash. "They didn't deserve to own any part of you."
At that the Chimera's smile returns full force. "Keeping me all to yourself? How possessive..."
A small smirk forms. "Well you know how I've always been about my possessions..."
The grin grows impossibly wider. "Does that mean I get to call you 'Master'?" They both burst out laughing. It takes them several moments to contain it. By the time they do, tears are leaking from Kuronue's eyes.
"You still have an incredibly twisted sense of humor Kuro."
Kuronue's demeanor grows serious. "Hm, and you haven't changed nearly as much as others lead me to believe..."
Kurama blinks a few times. "Oh?"
In a flash Kuro closes the distance between them, staring down on his fox... lips a breath apart. "Indeed... you see, human or demon, you still get sexier every time I see you Foxy." With that, he closes the distance between their lips - just as a bright red flush sweeps across Kurama's face.
Kuwabara falls over, Yusuke whistles, the girls clap their hands over their mouths and Kazuya slaps a hand over Suu-chan's eyes. Shori stands there in shock. It's Hiei's growl that snaps Kurama out of his Kuronue induced haze... after all, his old partner had rekindled things that have burned in him for years, even as a human.
He pulls back and turns his head to the side, completely stunning Kuronue. "Foxy what...?"
Kurama cuts him off. "Kuro we need to talk."
"Words have always been useless between the likes of us Yoko."
"Then allow me to demonstrate." He turns to put some space between them, but Kuro won't allow it. He tucks a strong arm around the thin waist of his favorite kitsune and pulls them together, back to chest.
"I have a present for you." A breath, hot and heavy against Kurama's ear.
"Stop." The tone is sharp, but thought ceased as a beautiful vision of red invades his line of sight.
"The last one to complete your collection." Kurama takes the delicate piece into his pale white hands, mesmerized.
"The seventh Ruby Rose... it's real." A chuckle from behind.
"As if I'd give you anything less."
Kurama cradles it to his chest and slowly closes his eyes. "It's beautiful."
"Yes, but not nearly as beautiful as you are."
"Kuro..."
"I love you Foxy... everything about you."
Kuro firmly presses his nose into the softness of his lover's hair, breathing in the beautiful scent he's longed after for so many years. Long thin fingers tipped in neat claws splay across a tunic covered stomach, a unique maroon pendant dangling in the soft breeze. Kuronue nudges aside the bright red mass and lets his breath ghost across the pale white skin of a neck exposed; goosebumps rise quickly. A soft deep chuckle rises from his chest as a shiver vibrates from Kurama's body. He takes one hand and runs it up the kitsune's spine, nails dragging along, pausing and circling right behind the heart... before he knows it his fangs graze there... where one would mark their mate. Kurama stiffens, back going straight, eyes widening just a touch. Kuro feels the change immediately.
"You're never going to give up are you Foxy?" Kuro's hand moves from Kurama's stomach to his hips, giving the fox just a bit of needed space. He takes in a deep breath and lets it out slowly allowing for both time for his body to relax, and his mind to form the correct words. Only his Foxy could wreak such devastation on his equilibrium. Kurama takes a similar moment before speaking.
"You know my reasons Kuro."
"I do, and I'll destroy everyone of them. No matter how long it takes, I'll prove it to you." Kuronue lets go and runs his fingers through red hair. "Enjoy your present Foxy, I'll be back." With that, he is gone. Reality comes crashing back. A harsh wind blows through the trees carrying away his scent, though it is still firmly imprinted on one heart, one mind, one soul... or is it two? Ruby red eyes watch closely as Kurama is left holding the single ruby rose.

"But Urameshi! They're like... both guys!" Kuwabara has the most confused expression on his face.
"What's that got to do with anything? If Yukina suddenly turned into a guy would you love her any less?" Yusuke's gaze steadily bores into his friend's, willing him to understand.
"That's not gonna happen!"
"Say it did."
"Well... um..." Kuwabara's face sinks a bit then slowly dawns in understanding. "I couldn't love her an less."
Yusuke smiles. "Exactly. I really not all that surprised... Fox-boy has always been smarter than the rest of us, and he's a lot older. I've noticed that demons seem to care less about that sort of thing anyway, guess actually loving someone is so rare in Makai... "
"Would you shut up!" Hiei growls out. Red eyes flashing in pure irritation.
Yusuke glances toward his friend, taking in the kooromie's very closed posture, he gets a goofy grin. "Hey Hiei, what about you? Ever slept with a guy?"
Hiei's growl deeps as his face flushes red and his eyes flash again. "Hn. Sexual gratification is beneath me, and love is a luxury not afforded to my race, sanity, or health." This leaves both Yusuke and Kuwabara looking perplexed. "Stupid oafs."
"But brother... you love me?" Yukina had just walked into the room, catching the tail end of the conversation.
Hiei's expression softens. "They speak of a different love sister."
She cocks her head to the side. "Different?"
He sighs and smiles a bit looking down as if searching for the right words. "The kind of love that Mother was shunned for... that had me thrown over the edge... that had you so lonely. The kind of love that created us."
Yukina's face lights up in understanding. "Oh, then I suppose you are right brother, love is a luxury not afforded to our race... it only causes pain." Kuwabara falls over, half dead; Yusuke gets a disturbed, angry expression; Genkai goes solemn; Meiyo laughs. Everyone turns to stare at him.
"Forgive me, sometimes I forget how young you are my little children." Hiei takes to his feet angry.
"What would you know!?"
Meiyo remains calm, but there is a determined fire in his gaze. "Know? I know I love your Mother even if she is gone. I know that I will never regret anything that brought you two into my life. You are fully capable of love Hiei, and if I'm not mistaken - you are just starting to discover that aren't you?" Hiei freezes up not knowing what to say, shock written into his face. "3... 2... 1..." Hiei flits off and Meiyo laughs again, Yukina tugs on his arm.
"Papa?" Meiyo smiles at her.
"Don't worry Yukina, he'll be fine. I was just thinking about how much he inherited from Hina. She used to run from uncomfortable situations too. It got to the point where I could time it exactly, just like your brother. The first time I told her I loved her, I had to hold onto her for ten minutes before she quit struggling and accepted it. Your brother needs someone who will force him to face his emotions as well... things are about to get very interesting again."
"Why do you say that Papa?"
Meiyo looks out the window of the temple to the trees that block Tokyo from view. "Because Kurama's stepfather looked none to pleased as they left."

A/N: Cough, cough... wow... talk about PDA. But that's how I see Kuronue, very straightforward and persistent. He knows what he wants and goes after it full force. Not to mention corny... but that too just seems so right from him. I love how this is turning out. Yes, Kuro is going to be back, just like he promised.
Remember when I told you that Kazuya's feelings were going to blow up all over everything? Maybe not. But the next chapter is where that happens... or at least begins to. If I offend anyone, you are more than welcome to stop reading, I'm not forcing you, and you probably shouldn't be reading things that upset you. I did categorize this as Shonen Ai for a reason.
The Kooromies are well known for their hatred of men, they are described as cold. While there could be romantic love between the women... I seriously doubt it. It isn't the way they are portrayed. I don't think romantic love is a part of their culture. You are of course welcome to your own opinion. That doesn't mean they don't possess the ability to love. As both Yukina and Hiei will soon discover. After all, Hina loved(s) Meiyo.
