Ch.9


Yusuke woke to his alarm clock buzzing. Seven o'clock on a Sunday, it was a record for him. Most of the time he slept through the alarm and woke up around noon, two hours before he went to work. Kuwabara usually went an hour before him, so they didn't see each other much during the earlier hours of the day. Kuwabara woke up at five-thirty am to feed his three cats. Yusuke didn't mind his friend's liking of felines, except for what he named them. All three had names in accordance to their coat colors and patterns. Yusuke had almost made him hand over his balls for that one.
The newest cat, an orange tabby named Apricot, hopped onto his bed, purring.
"Go away," He muttered.
It responded by rubbing against his foot that was sticking out from under the blanket.
He shook it away,"Hey, cut that out!"
It meowed and leaped down.
"Apricot, are you in here!?"
Kuwabara peered into his room," There you are!," He picked up the cat and scratched it's neck," I told you not to go in there, he's a big meanie in the morning."
Yusuke frowned," Please tell me you didn't just say 'meanie'."
"Ah, shove it up your ass."
Yusuke shrugged and put the pillow over his head to block out the sound of Kuwabara baby talking his pets. A few minutes later the doorbell rang.
"Yusuke! It's your girl!"
He sat up and stretched. Keiko walked in smiling," Hurry up and get ready to go, we have to be at Genkai's temple in a few hours."
Yusuke was at a loss," What for?"
Keiko fumed and smacked him over the head with a sock that was discarded on the floor.
"Dummy! Kurama is going to report in pretty soon, don't you want to be there?"
"Oh, shit I forgot, I can't believe it!" Yusuke jumped out of bed, searching for a pair of clean pants.
"I can believe it!," Kuwabara called from the next room.
"Shut it!"
"Yusuke, hurry up!"

"Hiei!?"
When Kurama ended his conversation with the demon lord he wanted to check on his three eyed friend. Finding him leaning against the wall, barely awake and panting quietly hadn't startled him at all, thinking he was on the verge of death once more had. Rhianon warned him of what might happen if the demon refused the familiar after the process had begun. Either their body or mind would be damaged. Kurama suspected it was the fire demon's body that had gone haywire. Hiei would resent Kurama bringing him anywhere near the woman, but a little animosity towards him was better than watching his friend die.
He hurried to where the demon lay. Hiei had once again passed out and was now on his side. Kurama lifted him into his arms, he was much lighter than he ever had been. The man had lost quite a bit of weight, he was in no condition to resist anything. Still he tried, and was suffering as a result.
'I can't let this happen to him. Not when it isn't his fault.'
He used his shoulder to push the door to Jordan's bedroom open. He carried the unconscious demon to the other side of her bed. Jordan watched him.
"What's going on?," She asked.
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"Sure."
"Stay with him for the rest of the day, or until he wakes up?"
"Sure," She rolled over to face the fire demon. Almost out of instinct Hiei moved closer, curling around her like a child holding a stuffed animal.
Jordan looked over his spiky head at Kurama and raised an eyebrow.
"I think that's what he needed,"Kurama said softly," I'll come back later to check on him."
"Err...Ok."
Kurama turned and glanced at the two before leaving the room again. He would have done the same for the smaller demon in a heart beat, but it wasn't him that Hiei needed to be around.

After the red head left Jordan couldn't seem to fall back asleep, she was an early riser anyway. Truth was she had never slept with a guy in the same bed before, human or demon, so it was all new to her. Considering he also had his head buried in her chest, and his hands resting around her lower back, she definitely would never get back to sleep. She felt him sigh and exhale onto her tank top, she shivered. Nope, she did not like this position at all. Jordan reached back to pull Hiei's arms off, but the demon tightened his grip instead, pulling their bodies closer.
'Yikes, not good' She cringed. That had put a certain part of his anatomy up against her leg.
"Ah shit," She whispered between gritted teeth.
She put her arms between them and pushed on his bare chest. The reaction to that was a low growl deep from his throat. Jordan stopped in defeat, she really didn't want him to bite her, which was probably next.
'God damned demons' She swore to herself 'It figures the one I get stuck with acts like a predator'
In an attempt to try to get more comfortable she settled for draping her right arm around his small waist. The other one was trapped underneath his shoulder. She stared down at his face.
'Why couldn't it have been a chick?'
She leaned her face against his hair, it was softer than it looked. Jordan couldn't remember how long it was before she fell asleep.

Hiei awoke on a cold surface staring up into nothing. The dream had returned. He sat up, and glanced down at himself. His clothes were gone.
'Odd' ,He thought,' This has never happened before.'
He then gazed down at the familiar who lay beside him, also naked.
'*This* never happened either'
Hiei watched to see if she would open her eyes, she didn't. He lost interest and decided to stare at the ground. Then he felt a hand caress his arm, then the other one. His eyes went wide. The hands traveled up his arms to his shoulders, then left.
The familiar crawled on hands and knees around him, and brought her face close to his. He gasped. Her eyes were yellow.
"What is this?," He whispered.
She smiled seductivly,"Whatever you want it to be."
The woman leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. Hiei wasn't sure what to do, he really didn't want to do anything with her, but he couldn't seem to stop. The kiss changed to open mouth and his tongue found hers. The familiar was very talented. She broke the kiss and gently pushed him down by his shoulders until he was flat on his back. Then she was on all fours above him. She leaned her head down and kissed his navel, then dipped her tongue into it. Hiei hissed, but it wasn't in annoyance. Then she licked the tip of her tongue in one long stroke from his waist to his Adam's apple.
This wasn't good. Hiei couldn't hold his human form and become aroused at the same time, it didn't work that way. He tried to ignore it, and think of something else. Unfortunately he learned the woman was a little more talented than he could handle. It felt too real to be a dream, much too real.
She bent down to kiss his mouth again. Then his control shattered.
He felt his human form slipping away, the eyes forming on his chest. Curved black claws replaced his human nails. Then the dream ended. He was back in the room...but the familiar was in the same position as the dream. Her eyes were closed, she was kissing him. Then with their mouths still touching her eyes flew open. The woman gasped and broke the kiss. Both were breathing heavily. She stared at him for a while in confusion, then realized where she was.
"Oh, s-shit!,"She threw herself off his hips and clambered from the bed. She stopped when she reached the wall, which wasn't very far away. She looked at him like a deer caught in headlights.
Hiei was glad the room was dark enough she didn't notice his skin color had changed, or that everything else was different as well.
"What the hell was that?," She stammered.
"That was *you* on top of *me*,"He said calmly.
"No shit, I'd like to know why."
He didn't want to explain anything to her, he wanted her to leave. Hiei was far enough in the shadows he was hidden, but if he moved to get out of the room she would see what he looked like now. He also felt extremely tired so he was sure his speed wasn't up to par.
"I have no idea why...but I was enjoying it. I'm a little insulted that you stopped. I'd like it if you came back over here," He paused and made his voice sound as low as possible," Or I could go over there."
He swore her eyes got even bigger.
She laughed nervously then said," No fucking way."
"Very well. But I would advise for you to change your underwear, they felt a little wet."
Her face darkened," You arrogant piece of..."
He hissed and she jumped then slinked away, keeping as far from the bed as possible without going through the wall.
He heard the bathroom door close and lock. Hiei sighed, his demon form faded away. Hiei's body felt a thousand pounds heavier then. He heard the shower start, and would have smirked if he could. Scaring humans was always fun, even more so if they didn't know what to expect. He was glad that the woman was gone. The jagan, however, was not.

The warm water was great, especially after the fiasco a few minutes before. Jordan shuddered remembering the feel of him underneath the thin cloth. She had been that close to screwing a male demon. The thought disgusted her. She didn't even like sleeping with *human* men under the best of circumstances, but a demon? Not a chance. Jordan wanted to wash the smell of him off her, the taste of...
"Ahhh!,"She hit her forehead against the tile covered wall," I can't believe I frenched a...*male*!"
"Oh well, I'm never doing *that* again," She said in a sing-song tone.
Jordan grabbed the bar of soap and lathered her arms and torso. A stinging pain when she began to do her legs made her look down.
"What the...?"
Right where her hips met her legs were four shallow cuts. Her left side was the same.
'Did he scratch me?' Jordan wondered.' I hope I don't catch anything from him.'
A bang at the door made her jump.
"Jordan! What happened, are you alright?!,"It was Kurama, he was back, and he didn't sound very happy.
"Yeah, I'm fine!," She called back.
She quickly turned off the shower and snatched a blood red towel before unlocking the door. Kurama looked very worried.
"There is so much...blood I was afraid you were hurt as well," He seemed in shock,"Hiei..."
"Hiei?"
She ran to the bed. There *was* a lot of blood. It soaked the pillow his head was on and dripped down the bed. Jordan's mouth hung open, in the five minutes she'd been in the shower he'd managed to bleed that much. But where was it coming from? She stepped closer. His third eye. It was letting out a steady stream of blood, and it wasn't stopping.
Kurama ran to join her," I should never have left him alone."
"How the hell do we stop this?!," She yelled,"Oh ,fuck it!"
She pressed both hands down over his forehead, forgetting what happened the first time she touched his blood.
The heat spread up her arms, but it was too late for her to move. Hiei suddenly reached up and dragged her onto the bed. She stared into his now open eyes, filled with a terrible hunger. He tore the towel from her body and flung it away. Nude was the last thing she wanted to be at that point. He was now on top of her staring into her eyes. He scooted back into her lap. Jordan knew what he was going for. She flinched when Hiei ran his tongue over the cuts on her hip. The burning feeling grew, but Hiei's bleeding eye had stopped.
Jordan glanced up at Kurama who was watching in horror, probably wondering what to do. A piercing feeling made her look back at Hiei. His mouth was locked on the cuts, she could still vividly sense his tongue grating them. She tried to force him away by grabbing his hair. That was a bad move on her part. When she yanked his head back, he simply buried his long canines into her flesh causing the cuts to become deep slashes.
"Hiei stop!" Kurama had found his thoughts and grabbed the fire demons' jaw, trying to pry him off. Hiei growled none to nicely and elbowed the fox spirit in the stomach sending him flying into the wall. It left a spider web shaped dent where he hit.
"Kurama!,"Jordan whispered," No."
She looked down at her lap where the fire demon continued to drain her blood,"Hiei, stop, are you trying to kill me?"
She pressed the long nail of her thumb into his closed eyelid and slowly increased the pressure. Hiei felt it because he let go of her hip and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her hand back and opened his eyes.
"Stop it," Jordan whispered again," Wake up already."
To Jordan's dismay he didn't wake up, instead he brought his head up and kissed her. The taste of her blood almost made her gag. Then the tingling warmth washed over her. It spread outward and touched Hiei. He stopped kissing her and leaned back, he was back in right mind. The sight of her face smeared with blood must have been surprising. He stared at her in disbelief. His hands looked as if they had been dipped in dark red nail polish.
"What..." He stammered," What am...?"
His eyes went wide at the ragged cuts on Jordan's body," What-what have I done?"
Jordan watched as the dark room turned red, then white. Then the world went black.


(Author's note: Uh-oh looks like Hiei's gone vampire on us, huh? Think he'll get any better? And yes Kurama is acting weird for a reason, a good one too. I'm not giving it away now so read and find out. :p Next chapter's coming tomorrow like always. )
