Chapter 20: Eternity

 

 

 

Hiei and Yoko walked out to the back porch of the temple. Yoko stopped as Hiei stepped forward. She could feel the cool spring air. Hiei wondered what the water demon was thinking about.

 

“Mukuro would like to offer you a position at her castle.” Hiei said. Yoko looked at the Jaganshi confused.

 

“You mean that woman you work for? The crazy one who keeps hitting on you??” Yoko asked. Hiei turned around and blushed. Yoko laughed.

 

“Kurama told me. Don't freak out.” Yoko reassured him. Hiei growled and turned away from the water demon. It wasn't easy for him to do the personal delivery of a message for Mukuro.

 

“She would like you to come and spend time with her; she assures me you two have much to talk about.” Hiei rolled his eyes. Yoko snorted.

 

“Like what? The last time I saw Mukuro, I was hunting down one of her guards on a mission from Koenma. I was pretty taken with the idea that she was furious at me.” Yoko remembered the mission. It had been a few years ago.

 

“I don't know. Stop asking ME the questions.” Hiei glared. Yoko sighed.

 

“You're right. I'm sorry. Of course I will go and see her. Is that alright with you?” Yoko asked the fire demon. Hiei was taken aback by what Yoko asked him.

 

“Why does it matter what I'm alright with?” Hiei replied.

 

“Because you work for her. And I don't want to push you out of the way of something…” Yoko said. Hiei nodded.

 

“It is fine. I just don't want Kurama and Takara to….” Hiei cut himself off.

 

“OH!” Yoko laughed. Hiei blushed and glared at her at the same time.

 

“Oh dear, I guess I didn't think about that! It doesn't look strange if I disappear with you into the Makai for a few days or so. Right, I will tell Kurama if you let Takara know. She'll probably be upset at me, but its okay.” Yoko assured the Jaganshi that it would all be alright. Hiei sighed. He walked back towards the door.

 

“Good.” He said before he walked in. Yoko looked out at the spring evening. She wondered why she hadn't realized that she had missed the entire winter. Her body felt heavy to her, so she sat on the edge of the steps.

 

“I missed the first snow.” Yoko pouted. She did try and remind herself that there wasn't a lot of snow that winter, that she spent most of it in the Kazekai, and that she should be happy that everything was getting reborn again. Yoko closed her eyes and took in the sweet fresh air. She smiled when she realized it was tinted with roses.

 

“I smell you.” She said without opening her eyes. Kurama kissed her neck softly and purred. Yoko giggled. She opened her eyes and Kurama pulled her into his arms.

 

“I must smell pretty good then.” Kurama teased. Yoko nodded and sniffed his shirt.

 

“Yum.” She said. Kurama let his hands wander on her arms, feeling the cool skin.

 

“So what did Hiei and you talk about??” Kurama asked, deciding to be nosey. Yoko shrugged.

 

“Mukuro offered me some sort of position. I told Hiei I would go and speak with her.” Yoko said non-chalantly. Kurama pulled himself back.

 

“What?” Kurama asked. He couldn't believe that she thought it was no big deal.

 

“It isn't that bad Kurama. I would only be away for a few days.” Yoko said. She turned around to see his stunned face. Yoko had the sinking feeling that he wasn't worried about Hiei and her spending a few days together.

 

“I will not be fighting anyone Kurama. I'm not going to get killed.” She reassured him. Kurama frowned.

 

“But Mukuro is crazy… Not that Yomi isn't…” Kurama said. Yoko smiled.

 

“I know you are worried. But what am I going to do Kurama?! I have been through High School a hundred times. I know a ton of languages and subjects, and I honestly need something to do for myself. You like your human life and your human mother. I was forced into mine. It has been hundreds of years since I have been allowed to be this free and not worry about being found. I'm not leaving you. But you cannot ask me to stay here and live my life the way that would be most convenient for you….” Yoko said solemnly. Kurama looked at her. She was truly much older than him, and each word she spoke was the truth.

 

“You are right. I would never ask you to live like that for me. But I don't want to lose you, to the Makai or to a rogue attack on Mukuro's palace.” Kurama stated. Yoko nodded. She ran her hand across his cheek and felt the simple pleasure of his warm skin. There was nothing that could keep her from him anymore.

 

“Of course, I understand. But don't you remember that I am also a demon; not just some damsel princess who needs saving??” Yoko said. Kurama nodded. He was taking in all of Yoko's facial features, remembering how perfect she looked.

 

“I just want to keep you. I can't lose you. The first time nearly killed me, the second time surely will.” Kurama spoke softly as he caressed Yoko's bare arms. She could feel the shivers up and down her back. Her body ached to be near the boy.

 

“Oh, you'll keep me…” She said softly as she wrapped her arms around the kitsune and kissed him passionately. Kurama could feel the heat of the kiss radiate through out Yoko's body as he let his hands run down her back. Yoko let her fingers wind up in Kurama's long red hair. They pulled the fox closer to her. Kurama gently pulled Yoko's face back so he could breathe.

 

“Now you are just toying with me. You want to go away for a few days after you kiss me like that? Nope. Not going to happen. Not a chance.” Kurama smirked. Yoko laughed and hit him on the shoulder.

 

“Well, what happens if I kiss you like this?” Yoko asked as she kissed his forehead. Kurama shook his head.

 

“Like this?” Yoko kissed Kurama's cheek. Kurama shook his head again.

 

“What do I have to do so that you'll let me go speak with Mukuro?” Yoko asked her kitsune. Kurama smirked mischievously.

 

“Promise me that we will get married when I finish my last year. Then we can go do what ever you want to.” Kurama stated. Yoko's eyes went wide. She hadn't seen that coming at all.

 

“Are you serious?” Yoko asked the fox. He gave her a “duh” look. Yoko looked around for a moment, wondering if anyone was going to pop out and say surprise or yelling April fool's. When they didn't, she looked back at Kurama.

 

“What do you say? Let me keep you forever.” Kurama asked. Yoko blinked. Her heart started to race really fast.

 

“That-that's only a year and a half away! That is…uhm… wow….yes?” Yoko thought out loud. Kurama laughed.

 

“Yes?? …What am I saying? YES! HELL YES!!” Yoko yelled. She jumped on the kitsune and kissed him. Kurama tried to control the happy water demon. He picked her up so that he could sit up.

 

“Good, now I will let you go.” Kurama smiled. Yoko shook her head. She couldn't believe what she just agreed to.

 

“Hey! Could you keep the sex down to a minimal level out here?!” Yusuke said as he poked his head out of the back door. Yoko's face went red and there was lots of banging and clanging of pots and dishes as Takara stormed out the back door, running Yusuke over.

 

“What the hell is going on here!??!” Takara demanded. Kurama fished in his pockets for a second and pulled out a little blue box. Hiei's eyes were wide when he saw that box.

 

`Oh no he isn't….' Hiei thought to himself.

 

“I figured you would like the ring… since I didn't really ask with it…” Kurama said as he gave the box to Yoko. At this point, Yoko noticed that everyone had come running out to the back porch. She held the blue box with lots of fear and excitement.

 

`Marriage….what the hell am I thinking?!' Yoko asked herself.

 

“Open it!!!” Botan squealed. She and Keiko were holding hands and make “cutesy” faces at the fox. Yoko gently lifted the box top and felt all her air leave her when she saw the ring. It was a single sapphire, set in between two diamonds and on a silver ring. Nothing extravagant that showed she was engaged to a thief, but not too simple that there was no thought to it. Yoko felt herself get all choked up.

 

“You are an idiot.” Hiei spoke to the kitsune. Everyone looked at him angrily until he dug his hand in his pocket and pulled out a little black box. Takara looked at him and then at the box.

 

“Seriously?!” She said. Hiei nodded. He pointed to Kurama and Yoko and growled.

 

“Blame them, they ruined it.” Hiei replied. Takara took the box from Hiei's hand and opened it.

 

“Wow, holy crap!” Takara said. She snapped the box shut and thrust herself at the Jaganshi. He was surprised when she kissed him right there in front of everyone.

 

“Hell yes! HELL YES!!!” Takara said. Everyone laughed as Hiei's face went bright red.

 

“Dude, we totally suck at this.” Yusuke said to Kuwabara. Kuwabara smirked at the detective. Yusuke's eyes were wide.

 

“Am I the only one who missed the freakin' memo!!??” Yusuke yelled. Keiko pouted and Yusuke pulled her close.

 

“Don't worry!! You'll get your ring!! I just wanted to make sure that no one ELSE was going to propose on the SAME NIGHT.” Yusuke said, emphasizing all the key words. Everyone just laughed at him.

Kurama pulled Yoko close to him. She had her hair pulled back into a pony tail as she let her bag fall to her side. The kitsune looked into her happy blue eyes and frowned.

 

“Not fair.” He said. Yoko kissed him softly and scratched him behind the ear. Kurama smiled and put his forehead against hers.

 

“Come back to me. We've got a wedding to plan.” Kurama threatened sweetly. Yoko nodded and smiled. She pulled away from Kurama, and he grabbed her hand one last time.

 

“I will. Promise.” Yoko said as she moved away, letting her hand slide out of Kurama's. Hiei and Takara walked over to them and he looked at her.

 

“Ready?” Hiei asked. Yoko nodded. Takara looked at her best friend and her lover and pouted.

 

“I am not saying I'm comfortable with this, but at least come home soon. I don't want to be left alone with this fox.” Takara said. Hiei looked at her and she snorted.

 

“Fine. Love you too.” She turned slightly away to hide her pout.

 

“We'll be back soon, you'll barely miss us.” Yoko laughed. Both Takara and Kurama glared at her. Hiei stepped back.

 

“Right. Okay… never mind then.” Yoko said. She turned around to face Hiei. Both of them started for the Makai portal. Kurama and Takara watched as the two black-haired heads eventually disappeared into the portal.

 

“This is going to suck. Majorly.” Takara sighed. Kurama nodded.

[ One Year Later]

 

 

Yoko tapped her fingers on the stone table as Mukuro was talking to all her minions. Hiei looked at the water demon with a great understanding.

 

“Alright. Any questions?” Mukuro said. Everyone raised their hands. Yoko growled and stood up, slamming her hands down on the table.

 

“JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE!!! All she wants YOU to do is to go and scout for those people in the North section of the woods. She wants YOU over there to go and barter with the locals over near Yomi's palace. AND YOU! Oh my god! She just wants YOU to go and get her some freakin' coffee!!! GO! NOW!” Yoko commanded. Her face was tormented by the stupidity of the minions. The room cleared out quickly.

 

“That went well…” Hiei lied. Yoko stood up quickly. Mukuro looked at her.

 

“You are doing really well with delegating.” Mukuro said.

 

“Fuck you, I'm leaving.” Yoko growled. Mukuro looked at the water demon with shock.

 

“WHAT?” Mukuro asked, not sure that she heard the girl right.

 

“I said FUCK YOU I'M LEAVING! I have a fiancé and I have a wedding, and I have another life that doesn't require me to stay closed up in your palace! I did that already in my life!! And Hiei, you haven't even told her you are getting MARRIED!! I'm am sooooo done with this…” Yoko said casually as she walked out of the make-shift board room. Mukuro's jaw dropped. She looked at Hiei and he nodded and walked out after Yoko. She was up in her room, stuffing her clothes into her duffle bag.

 

“I think she took it well.” Hiei contemplated. A really loud girlish scream rang through the castle at that point and Hiei grabbed Yoko's bag and stuffed her clothes in faster.

 

“Time to go!” Hiei said quickly and the two youkai rushed out of the palace to avoid Mukuro's wrath.

“Shuichi!” A girl called from the door way of Kurama's classroom. Kurama turned his head to see a gaggle of girls standing at the door way. He smiled at them and waved. A few of them came to see him.

 

“Hello there.” Kurama said to the girls as they approached him. He looked them all in the eyes, but slowly looked away when he realized they weren't what he was looking for.

 

“Shuichi, you look so sad!” One of the girls said. She had dyed blond hair and dark brown eyes. She wasn't her.

 

“Oh, I'm alright. I appreciate you worrying about me though.” Kurama smiled lightly at them. It was a normal, fake smile for the kids at the high school. He felt miserable inside, he missed her so much that he wouldn't let himself say her name.

 

“Alright, if you are sure! We will see you tomorrow!” The girls waved good bye to Kurama and he looked outside the large window his desk was next to. He slid off his school jacket and sat in just his white shirt and pink school pants. There was no sun outside the window, just rain and umbrellas as girls and boys in pink school uniforms ran home or ran out on dates. Kurama sighed and closed his eyes. He would rather be in the Makai, sitting next to her outside Mukuro's palace, near the Makai Mountains. Kurama let himself think about it until it hurt him.

 

“You don't look happy to see me at all…” A voice whispered into his ear. Kurama's eyes shot open and he found himself staring into two lovely, large deep ocean blue eyes that washed over him and crashed right down into his heart.

 

“Yoko…” Kurama whispered. The eyes sparkled. She moved the remaining inch to kiss his lips. Kurama was barely aware of the fact that she was leaning on top of his desk to kiss him. The idea made him love her more. Her lips were cold and her hair was shorter than it was before she had left. Yoko held Kurama's face gently, touching his neck softly. She pulled away from him slowly.

 

“Hmmm….” She smiled. Kurama looked at her and noticed that she was wearing the girl's uniform to his school. His heart raced. Yoko could sense the tension building up.

 

“Oh, so you like the uniform??” Yoko teased. She scooted across his desk and kneeled on it. Kurama hugged her waist and laid his head against her stomach.

 

“You're back. I like that more.” Kurama said. Yoko laughed and Kurama could feel the laugh through her stomach. He let go of her and stood up. Quickly, he picked her up and swung her around the empty classroom. She smiled and reminded herself why she would never leave the kitsune again.

 

“Well, I'm happy to see I still have a fiancé to come home to!” Yoko teased. Kurama pouted and pulled her close, nuzzling against her hair.

 

“I was good.” Kurama played along. Yoko kissed him softly. He could only think about holding her forever. There was no way he could finish school now that she was back. He'd go wherever she wanted him to. All she would have to do is say go. Kurama had never been so serious about even the thought of quitting school.

 

“I hope you like the uniform a lot, because you'll get to see it everyday…” Yoko said seriously. Kurama looked at her and tilted his head in confusion.

 

`Role-play every day!? SWEET!' Youko purred.

 

“We are officially going to be class-mates.” Yoko confirmed. Kurama looked at her sadly.

 

“You didn't do this for me did you??” Kurama asked her. Yoko shook her head.

 

“Mukuro was a pain in the ass, and I couldn't be without you any longer. I thought I'd kill Hiei if I had to listen to another word about Takara. He felt the same. He is probably surprising her like this….hopefully not like THIS…” Yoko laughed as she pointed towards the uniform. Kurama nodded and tried not to picture Hiei in a pink uniform crawling on a desk to kiss the dog demon. He shook the image out of his head.

 

“How did the school let you in!? There is less than a term left!” Kurama asked Yoko. Yoko smirked.

 

“I told them I could ace their tests and boost their scores higher than you. They liked the practice results.” Yoko laughed.

 

“Oh… so I have some competition?” Kurama asked playfully. Yoko snuggled up close to him. Kurama had missed the way her body had fit right against his.

 

“We'll probably even out.” Yoko said. Kurama let his hands wander down her hair and her back. Everything about her seemed so new and yet so unchanged.

 

“I love you. I will go anywhere with you. All you have to do is say where. I don't care about all this school crap anymore.” Kurama growled. He didn't want to miss another moment with the water demon. She just laughed at him.

 

“That was my speech.” Yoko said. Kurama beamed at her.

 

“Alright then, you pick now.” Kurama watched Yoko as she thought. Her eyes were dazzling as ever and her body was soft with new muscles from all the work she was doing at Mukuro's.

 

“I want to go to school with you, watch you learn, watch you take boring tests and pass. But right now, I want to meet your mother. I've thought about this moment forever. I want to meet the woman who kept you attached to the Ningenkai for me…” Yoko squeezed Kurama's waist. He felt like he could almost cry, he was so happy. It was the first place he wanted to take her too.

 

“You are so perfect.”

Kurama opened the door to his family's home in a hurry, almost knocking down the lamp and table that stood next to the door.

 

“MOM! Come down stairs! I have someone you HAVE TO MEET!” Kurama yelled from the front door. Yoko quickly come in out of the rain and almost fell over while trying to take off her shoes. Kurama could hear his mother coming quickly down the stairs.

 

`Well, you probably scared her! You never yell through out the house! She'll think you are dying or something!' Youko chided Kurama.

 

“Do I look alright?” Yoko asked her fiancé. Kurama kissed her quickly and almost tripped over his own feet.

 

“She'll love you.” Kurama said. He shook his hair and watched as the water fell from his hair. Yoko looked around quickly and when she didn't see anyone, her hands were a familiar deep blue. The water evaporated off of Kurama and Yoko, leaving them both drier. Kurama kissed her again, just so happy that she was with him again.

 

“Shuichi! Are you okay?! Oh…” Shiori came down the stairs quickly, wondering what happened to her son. She stopped when she saw her son standing next to a young woman with black hair and fierce blue eyes. A quick look in her son's eyes told her that this girl was the one. Shiori felt her heart stop as she thought about what the last year was like. Her son had been quieter, more reclusive. She had asked him what was wrong, and he had only replied that someone very important to him was visiting another country for a long time. She finally understood what her son had wanted to tell her. He was in love.

 

“Mother, this is Yoko. She's home.” Kurama said softly. Shiori's eyes softened as she motioned for Yoko to come to her. Yoko carefully stepped towards Kurama's human mother. She was pretty and fragile looking. Shiori looked Yoko over and then enveloped her in a passionate hug.

 

“Your absence has been the reason my son has been so miserable…” Shiori said. Yoko looked down, feeling horrible. Shiori lifted the girl's face up.

 

“And now I can see why.” Shiori smiled brightly. She knew that Shuichi had found his one and only. There wasn't a reason to worry about him anymore.

 

“Thank you.” Yoko smiled nervously. Kurama stood next to her and held her hand. Shiori motioned for Yoko's left hand. Kurama looked at his mother shocked. He had no idea that she knew. Yoko gave over her hand and Shiori felt tears well up in her eyes. She didn't know why the girl just felt right standing next to her son, but she knew that it wasn't something rushed and unplanned like other young marriages.

 

“Shuichi, she's perfect.” Shiori said to her son. Kurama nodded and squeezed Yoko's hand harder.

 

“Yes, she is.”
