Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Depth Of Demon Bonds ❯ Lunch In The Park (Original) ( Chapter 5 )
Thanks for all the reviews everyone.
StormAz: Hi, thanks for the review. I will try to do better with the grammar, I know have the habit of putting ‘thank’ for ‘think’ a lot of times *sweat drops*.Though I kind of see both demons letting their guards down when it’s just them two together. Shuuichi/Kurama doesn’t have to be perfect and Hiei doesn’t have to be emotionally closed off or so controlled at least that‘s my spin on it. *grins*.
UPDATE!!!!! NEW CHAPTER!!!!!!!!
-------------------------
Chapter 5
Lunch In The Park.
-------------------------
The clerk made his way back over to the two demons carrying the wanted item.
“It just so happens we do have it.” The clerk smiled, holding up the red leather jacket.
“It’s perfect. Thank you.” Kurama said taking the jacket and inspecting it. It was exactly like the one Hiei had picked except it was red.
“So can I have your name?” The clerk asked stepping closer.
“Oh…I don’t know about that.” Kurama smiled coyly, tilting his head to the side. Hiei raised an eyebrow, instantly intrigued. He knew the demon side of the redhead was showing.
“Why not? You are an awful nice guy and pretty too.”
“Really?” Kurama asked tossing his hair. Hiei snickered; the fox was very good at flirting.
“Yeah! It’s nice to buy such an expensive jacket for your little brother.” The man said gesturing towards the fire demon. “So…Are you going to tell me your name?”
“Well………I am real nice.” Kurama smiled slipping his arm around Hiei’s arm. The clerk’s eyes widen considerably but his wasn’t the only ones. Hiei was a little startled at first but soon recovered enjoying the show. “You see this isn’t my little brother. He’s my boyfriend. As for my name, you have to ask him. He is very possessive of me.”
“Now what were you saying?” Hiei growled, playing his part.
“I’m so sorry.” The clerk apologized taking a step back when the fire demon fixed him with a nasty glare. He then made a hasty retreat. Kurama started laughing letting go of the demon’s arm. Hiei was chuckling as well.
“Thanks Hiei.”
“I must say that was pretty good fox. You sure know how to flirt.”
“What can I say? I have had plenty of experience in that area. So are you going to take the jacket?” Kurama asked picking up the black jacket again.
“Since you seem to have one then I will take it.” Hiei nodded his approval.
“Good! Let’s go pay for them.” Kurama said walking towards the checkout counter with Hiei beside him. A woman rang them up smiling brightly.
“Do you want me to wrap these up or are you going to wear them now?” The cashier asked sweetly.
“I think I will wear mine.” Kurama said picking up the red jacket. “Can you cut the tags off?”
“Yes sir.” The woman said pulling out a pair of scissors. She cut all the tags off before turning to the boy. “Do you want your tags cut too?”
“Hn.” Hiei grunted.
“Yes but can you put the jacket in a bag please along with my old one?” Kurama asked shrugging into his new jacket. The lady done as she was asked and handed the bag to the redhead.
“Thank you come again sir.” The cashier smiled.
“Thanks I’m sure we will.” Kurama replied before following Hiei out the door. Once outside he found and alley and pulled the fire demon into it.
“Why do you pull on me so?” Hiei spat.
“Because.” Was Kurama’s only answer while pulling the jacket out of the bag. “Do you have you tank top on under that cloak?”
“Yes. Why?”
“So you can wear you jacket.” Kurama replied holding it out to the fire demon.
“I guess so…..but one wrong comment from a ningen and it comes off.” Hiei huffed.
“Agreed.” Kurama smiled. Hiei pulled his cloak off and dropped it into the bag. He then took the offered jacket, pulling it on. “Now is that so bad Hiei?”
“Hn.”
“Translation: No!” Kurama laughed heading out of the alley. Hiei muttered something along the lines of ‘stupid fox’ before following the redhead.

They continued the day walking along the city streets and talking. About one o’clock Kurama’s stomach started growling.
“I guess I may be hungry.” Kurama chuckled sheepishly putting his hand on his stomach. “Are you hungry yet?”
“I don’t want ningen food.” Hiei grumbled.
“Well I’m sorry that is all there is. I know of a good place, and then we can go eat in the park.”
“Hn.”
“Translation: Yes!” Kurama teased.
“Why is it you can read me so well, fox?” Hiei asked a little unnerved.
“I don’t know.” Kurama shrugged. “I have always been able to read or judge people, you know that. With you it’s different it’s like an open book. I just know what you are thinking.”
“Which is why I always have to be on guard around you.”
“What? Why?”
“I thought you said we were getting some ningen food?” Hiei asked effectively changing the subject. The fox noticed this but let it drop.
“Yes, it’s just up ahead.” Kurama replied. They stopped in front of an open-air café. The redhead went to the counter and ordered some food. The waitress handed the fox a white bag and two drinks with a wink. Kurama smiled politely before turning towards his friend. He was quite surprised to see a blonde haired girl standing next to Hiei, trying to get a response out of him. The demon was watching her out of the corner of his eye with restraint. Kurama approached them and handed the fire demon his drink.
“OH WOW! You’re a cutie too.” The girl smiled looking the redhead up and down.
“Thank you….I guess.” Kurama replied bowing slightly.
“I was trying to get your friend’s name and number. He is so cute and has the prettiest eyes.”
“Uh….Yes, well…” Kurama started but was cut off.
“He won’t give me either or even say anything. Can I have yours?”
“Um….I’m sorry. I am kind of seeing someone.”
“She is one lucky girl.” The blonde-haired woman replied.
“I guess.” Kurama laughed.
“Can you get your friend to talk to me?”
“I don’t think so…..he’s from out of town and has a girl back home.”
“Well she is lucky too. You two are just the cutest guys I have ever seen. Maybe I will see you around.”
“Maybe.” Kurama shrugged. “Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.” The blonde said before running off. The fox had to stifle his laughter when he heard the fire demon grinding his teeth as they walked into the park.
“Stupid ningen girl! She could not tell I did not want to speak to her.” Hiei growled.
“Sometimes they are that way.” Kurama replied. “Some of the girls can be very persistent.”
“I don’t know how you can be so polite to them.”
“After living here so long it just comes natural. You know what? If you’re not careful you will get a little fan club too.”
“I don’t think so!” Hiei spat.
“Yeah you will.” Kurama smiled.
“So where are we heading, fox?”
“I know of a nice place we can eat at. It’s kind of out of the way but we won’t be bothered by ningen girls.”
“Fine by me.” Hiei muttered, looking at the weird drink the fox had given him. It was very cold in his hand almost like ice.
“It’s right through here.” Kurama said leading the way down a small path in-between thick bushes. He came there often when he needed to think. Hiei was the first person he had ever brought there. The path opened up to a small clearing surrounded on all sides by thick trees and bushes. It was very secluded. The fox reached into his hair, pulling out a few seeds. He walked into the shade of a big tree, squatted down and dropped the seeds to the ground. Kurama put his hand over them sending out some energy. The ground instantly covered in a rich green carpet. The fox sat back on his butt and crossed his legs. Hiei sat down near him still eyeing the weird drink.
“Taste it Hiei. It’s good.” Kurama urged.
“It’s cold and looks funny, plus you did not make it.” Hiei grunted.
“No I didn’t, but it’s still good.”
“Why is it dark red? It looks like blood.”
“It’s not blood.” Kurama replied stifling the laughter that threatened to burst forth. “It’s called a Black Cherry Slurpee. It’s very sweet.”
“What kind do you have, fox?” Hiei asked shifting slightly to try to see into the cup.
“Mine is called Code Red Mountain Dew.” Kurama smiled holding out his cup to the fire demon. “You can taste it if you want too.”
“Hn.” Hiei grunted taking the cup and looking inside. The fox’s drink was red too but not as dark. “Why taste it? They look the same.”
“Yes but they have different tastes. Come on try them Hiei.” Kurama urged again. Hiei looked between the cups and slowly rose the fox’s straw to his mouth. He figured that since the redhead already had drinked some it should be okay. He took a big swig before Kurama could stop him. “That’s too much.” It was too late. The demon raised his hand clutching his head as if in pain.
“What the hell is this?” Hiei hissed when the weird feeling subsided.
“It’s called Brain freeze. That is what happens when you drink too much at one time. It’s not dangerous. Try again but this time take a smaller drink.”
“Why would I want to do that?”
“Because I think you will like the stuff if you get a good taste.” Kurama said pulling out the food from the bag.
“Hn.” Hiei grunted but he did raise the straw again, taking a smaller drink. He then brought his own straw to his mouth, taking a drink. He handed Kurama back his drink with a mumble. “It’s okay fox.”
“I told you so.” Kurama smiled triumphantly, opening the food. He handed one of the packages to Hiei. The fox then picked up his own and started eating. Kurama glanced to his friend to find him again eyeing the food suspiciously. “You should know by now I am not going to give you something bad to eat. Just try it.”
“Hn.” Hiei grunted again. He knew he could trust his fox but it still didn’t look good. He brought the awful looking mess up and smelled it. It smelled different then the way it looked. It appeared to be a long round piece of meat, surrounded by ningen bread. It was covered in two different red sauces, two different yellow sauces, and green and white specks. Hiei glanced to the fox finding him half way done with the mess that he called food. He huffed before bringing the food to his mouth and taking a bite. After he swallowed, he decided it was edible but he liked Kurama’s eggs better. Hiei ate the food so as not to offend his fox. Kurama let out a satisfied breath after he laid down watching the clouds float by.
“What did you mean earlier by fan club?” Hiei asked after whipping his mouth. Kurama turned to his side and propped himself up with his arm, facing the fire demon.
“It’s just a group of people that really like you. A fan club is usually made up of mostly girls but there are a few boys sprinkled among them.”
“OH! So I take it you have a lot in your fan club?”
“Yes, I do.” Kurama nodded picking up the white bag from the café and dumping the contents between them. “It gets bigger everyday too.”
“What are these?” Hiei asked picking up a white piece of paper from the small pile. He examined it finding ningen numbers and letters on it.
“They are names and phone numbers to probably every girl behind the counter at that café.”
“Not much has really changed for you fox.” Hiei laughed. “You are still the most lusted after creature in all the three worlds.”
“Yes but it does get old.” Kurama replied turning back to his back.
“How so?”
“Well sometimes I wish it would all change. I want to settle down.”
“What? I have never heard of a fox wanting to settle down. The race is too promiscuous.” Hiei said seriously not really believing the fox.
“This is true but I want to be bound to one mate for the rest of my life.” Kurama replied softly, knowing the demon did not believe him. That was to be expected though, his race was very wanton.
“I doubt that.”
“I hear you are getting quite the reputation in the Makai. It is getting as bad as mine.”
“Yes, I admit it is.” Hiei smirked finally laying back on the ground. There was no since not to relax too. He hardly ever got to do so.
