Two Months in the Forest

Two Months in the Forest
Chapter 10: From the Sidelines

It was hard for Kuwabara to concentrate. Every time he looked at Hiei, he saw the demon in all his naked glory. As a result he had gotten more than a few injuries. Even now Hiei was charging at him, but he was too distracted by the memory of the apparition coming in his mouth to do anything about it.

Hiei stopped short of attacking the boy. His face showed nothing but irritation. “You’re pathetic. The tournament is almost here and instead of getting better you’re getting worse.”

The carrot-top shouted indignantly, “It’s not like that! I’ve just got other stuff on my mind!”

The red blush tinting the human’s cheeks betrayed him. All the demon needed was one look at the boy’s face to figure out what was going on in his mind. He wanted to taunt the carrot-top a bit and make him squirm, so he asked, “What stuff would that be?”

Not wanting to give him the satisfaction of answering Kuwabara mumbled, “Nothing.”

Hiei could have goaded the boy more and made him really nervous, but they had work to do. “Pay attention, because this time I won’t stop.”

Kuwabara knew the demon was serious. He shook his head several times to forcibly remove the nude images from his mind. He held his sword out in front of him and squared his shoulders. He was ready for whatever his teacher had in store for him.

Hiei quietly appraised the human. His defenses had improved; there weren’t too many openings. It was time to see how the boy put his defenses to work.

Kuwabara noticed that Hiei had raised his sword, an indication of a forthcoming attack. In the blink of an eye the apparition was gone. The fire demon moved so fast that the carrot-top couldn’t rely on his eyes. His only recourse was to use his senses. He tried to think like Hiei and anticipate the apparition’s moves. The demon wouldn’t attack him from the back. The front would be too obvious. That only left an aerial attack or one from either his left or right side. He didn’t feel a change in the air above, so that narrowed it down even further. The demon would definitely come at him from the left or right. He thought about all that Hiei had taught him. He kept his sword extended in front of him. He shifted his eyes from left to right, readying himself to react at a moment’s notice.

Kuwabara saw a flash of black. It was the left! Hiei was coming in for a low ambush. The carrot-top narrowly avoid becoming very intimate with the sharp katana. The demon didn’t stop there. He quickly recovered and renewed his assault. He brought his blade upward, swinging it in a wide arc. Kuwabara felt the disturbance the sword caused as it sliced through the air. He swung his sword down, using it to block the weapon.

Kuwabara took several leaps backwards. He needed the extra distance to reestablish his defense. Hiei charged the human head on. When he was a few feet away he jumped up and launched an aerial attack. Kuwabara held each end of his sword in his hands. When Hiei’s katana met his Spirit sword, he used the demon’s own momentum to throw him backwards.

Hiei landed on his feet. He stood still and waited to see if Kuwabara would make the next move. Fighting wasn’t only about a good defense. The carrot-top needed to be to inflict damage, as well as deflect it.

The teen knew what was expected of him. He ran at Hiei, after all he was best known for charging in blindly. He saw the annoyed looked on the demon’s face, he practically heard him shouting, ‘Don’t be so predictable!’ The carrot-top thought to himself, ‘Don’t worry, shrimp, I won’t.’

When the human was within striking distance he knelt down on his right leg. He quickly sprang up in the air, aiming his left knee squarely at his teacher’s chin. When it looked like Hiei was going to dodge the attack, Kuwabara used his left arm to grab at the wily demon.

Hiei assumed Kuwabara's hand was going for his head or shoulder. Since the human’s hands were so large, he would’ve been able to hold the demon in place long enough to strike him. He had no choice but to try knocking it away with his sword arm.

“What the-”

The words unintentionally slipped out Hiei’s mouth he was so surprised. He had been so focused on keeping Kuwabara's hand away from his head that he hadn’t thought the boy was going for his arm. Kuwabara held the demon’s sword arm firmly in place. He then swung his sword. Being so close there was no way he could miss.

Hiei saw the sword was aimed straight at him. He quickly caught the boy’s wrist and held it in place, a few inches from actually making contact. He saw the frustrated face his pupil made and smirked. “You should have seen that coming, oaf.”

Kuwabara held onto Hiei’s arm for dear life. He had come too far to give up so easily. However, it was also clear that he wouldn’t be able to break free, no matter how much he twisted his wrist. He smiled down at the demon. “It looks like neither one of us can move. I promise not to laugh too hard if you give up now.”

“I still have my feet.”

The confused look on Kuwabara's face was priceless. But not as priceless as the expression he made when Hiei ran up the front of his body and used both feet to kick him squarely in the face. The force of the kick knocked him backwards and he landed on his ass.

After introducing his pupil’s face to his feet, Hiei did a neat back flip and made a perfect landing, while at the same time sheathing his sword. He considered heckling the boy, but thought better of it. After all, the teen had managed to momentarily trap him. Instead he said, “Twelve minutes, a new record.”

Kuwabara spit out the blood that had pooled in his mouth. “And you said I was getting worse.”

Always one to burst the carrot-top’s bubble, Hiei said, “Don’t get too cocky. Several times I came close to taking your head.”

“But you didn’t did you?”

“That was luck, more specifically dumb luck.”

“Call whatever you want, I still lasted twelve minutes with you.”

Hiei easily changed the subject. “Tell me why you were so distracted.”

Kuwabara's voice momentarily caught in his throat. He quickly recovered and shouted, “That’s none of your business!”

“It is if you were thinking about me.”

The carrot-top scoffed and rolled his eyes. “This coming from the shrimp who gets off on watching people!”

“We’re not talking about me, are we?”

Kuwabara was interested in what the demon had to say, so he decided to temporarily hold off on arguing. “No, we’re not.”

Hiei took his time before saying, “You said it was good for you.”

“So what if I did?”

“Does that mean you want to do it again?”

Instead of answering the carrot-top asked, “Do you?”

Hiei slowly made his way towards the human. “I asked you first.”

“…I guess I wouldn’t mind if we did.”

“Hn…”

“What’s that supposed to mean?!” When the demon didn’t respond, Kuwabara asked, “Do you want to?”

“Not really.” The fire apparition turned and began to slowly walk away. After taking a few steps he called out over his shoulder, “I’ve already had you and I get bored easily.”

Hiei smirked at the insults hurled at his back. Even if he did want Kuwabara again he wasn’t about to tell the boy that. He wanted the carrot-top to come to him, not the other way around.


~*~THAT AFTERNOON~*~


Streaks of green and gold were intertwining; the two colors blended together to create fantastic designs. It could be consider a beautiful sight if it wasn’t so deadly. The green was Kurama’s whip and the gold was Kuwabara's spirit energy. As usual the pair was working on improving the carrot-top’s spirit control. Kuwabara had improved a lot in such a short amount of time, a true testament to his determination and also his potential.

Kurama told his student, “Stop, that’s enough for now.”

Kuwabara counted the injuries he received from their sparring match. “Hey! I only got cut four times!” For the first time the carrot-top was walking away with a single-digit number of wounds.

“It could have been less. You get distract too easily, you need to concentrate more.”

“I was paying attention! I saw it when you tried to ambush me by sending those vines through the ground.”

“That was good; however, you failed to notice an obvious attack when I called you clumsy.”

Kuwabara was at a loss for what to say, the older boy had got him there. “Well, that was…just a case of-”

“It was a just case of you not concentrating. Focus on what your opponent is doing, not what they’re saying.”

“I will.”

Kurama smiled at Kuwabara. He knew the boy was too hot-tempered to ignore an insult. His only hope was that it wouldn’t get him hurt or worse. The fox cast a look at the quickly setting sun. “We’re done for today.”

“The time went by fast.”

“It usually does.” Kurama picked up the bottle of salve that was on top of Kuwabara’s shirt. He began to apply it to the injuries on the younger boy’s arms and chest. “Speaking of time, how did your training with Hiei go?”

“It was okay. I set a new record while sparring with him.”

“That’s not what I had in mind. What I want to know is whether or not there was some tension in the air.”

“Tension?”

The fox cupped the carrot-top’s crotch and gave it a squeeze. “Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten about yesterday.”

The carrot-top spoke as if it was no big deal, “Come to think of it, I was a little distracted.”

Kurama arched an eyebrow and fixed a scrutinizing stare on the boy. He questioned, “Only a little?”

Kuwabara broke underneath the emerald gaze. “More like a lot distracted.”

“What about Hiei?”

The carrot-top let out a harsh bitter laugh. “Him distracted?! Yeah, right! He doesn’t even care. First he asks me if I wanted to do it again. After I tell him yes, he tells me that he’s bored with me.”

The fox couldn’t help but chuckle. “That’s Hiei for you.”

“If he’s already bored with me then that’s his problem. I’m not going to beg him for anything.”

“You can always make him beg you.”

“Like that’s ever gonna happen!”

“Just show him what he’s missing.”

The carrot-top tried to play it cool as he asked, “Not that I care…but how would I do that?”

Kurama squeezed the younger boy’s arm. “Don’t worry; I’ll help you do it.”


~*~LATER THAT NIGHT~*~


After wolfing down his dinner Kuwabara left to shower at the waterfall, leaving Kurama and Hiei at camp. The fox was sitting in the grass, idly staring at the fire, contemplating whether or not it needed more wood. Out of nowhere he said to Hiei, “Kuwabara told me about the conversation he had with you earlier.”

“That fool has a big mouth.”

“Telling him that you’re bored with him was a bit cruel. Why do you tease him so?”

Hiei crossed his arms and looked away from the fox. He wasn’t about to explain anything to anybody.

“I suppose your silence means you don’t have a reason. Then I’ll change the subject.” Kurama grinned slyly at the fire demon. “How was yesterday? Was it better than watching?”

The apparition sighed underneath his breath, “Meddlesome…”

“You’re one to talk, voyeur.”

“That was different.”

“Why, because you were the one doing it?”

“Of course.”

“You still haven’t answered my question. Was is it better experiencing Kuwabara in the flesh or watching from the distance?”

“Why do you even care? I thought you would be more upset about me being with him.”

“You should know me better than that. Something like that wouldn’t bother me.”

Hiei stared at the fox with a quizzical expression. “Then how come you threatened me when I first started watching you?”

“I was protecting Kuwabara's privacy.”

“If you were so concerned about protecting him, why did you invite me to watch the first time you claimed him?”

“Because it turns out Kuwabara is a pervert, just like you, and enjoys being watched.” Kurama smiled broadly at the apparition. “It’s really quite simple; an excited Kuwabara does the most wonderful things. I benefited immensely from having you watch us.”

“So you had an ulterior motive.”

The fox chuckled softly. He rhetorically asked, “Is it really that surprising?” He wasn’t quite ready to give up on his previous line of questioning. “Are you sure you’re no longer interested in Kuwabara?”

“Why are you so insistent on playing matchmaker?”

“I already told you. If Kuwabara is happy I reap the benefits.”

Hiei insulted the redhead of instead answering the question. “You can be very selfish sometimes.”

“I don’t recall ever saying I wasn’t.”

The fire demon stood up from his favorite spot. “That’s it, I’m leaving.”

“Kuwabara will back any moment. We’ll be having sex here tonight. You’re more than welcome to stay and watch.”

“I have better things to do.”

Having said that Hiei was prepared to make his departure, he wasn’t expecting to hear, “What things, shrimp?”

The apparition recognized the voice as being Kuwabara's. He briefly pondered when the human had showed up, but he forgot about it as soon as he turned around and looked at the boy. Kuwabara still had some water clinging to his bare chest from his shower. The clear drops sparkled in the campfire. His orange hair was loose and the slight curls framed his face. He was wearing his usual pair of blue jeans, which were left unbuttoned in his haste to dress.

After looking the carrot-top up and down several times Hiei sat back down. He scooted over slightly, insuring he had an unobstructed view of the two redheads. Who was he to refuse a friend’s invitation?

Kurama smiled up at his lover and said, “We’ll be having company.”

Kuwabara looked over at the demon and frowned. “I don’t care.”

Hiei didn’t take offense to the boy’s harsh words, because he knew they weren’t true. He could tell by the bulge in the front of the human’s jeans.

Kurama patted the spot next to him on the ground. “Sit.”

As soon as Kuwabara was seated the older teen leaned over and kissed him. The carrot-top looked out the corner of his eye and saw Hiei staring at him. He quickly looked away and concentrated on his lover. At least the older teen wasn’t bored with him.

Kurama slowly halted the passionate kiss he was sharing. He pulled his lips away from Kuwabara's ever-so-kissable ones and purred, “I love it when you wear your hair down. It gives me a chance to do this.”

The fox grabbed a fistful of the orange locks and pulled back the younger teen’s head, exposing his neck. He ran his mouth over the sinewy muscles and sucked hard enough to leave red marks on the pale skin. He looked over at Hiei to see how the demon was responding. He was pleased to see that the apparition was already practically salivating. He thought to himself, ‘So much for being bored with Kuwabara, Hiei.’

Out of nowhere the fire demon called out, “Kuwabara, take off Kurama’s shirt.”

The older redhead was taken aback by what Hiei said, but he didn’t show it. He had invited the demon to watch, not to give commands. He pulled away from the carrot-top’s lips and shot a questioning look toward the apparition.

Hiei returned the fox’s stare. He repeated his order in a calm voice, “Remove his shirt, Kuwabara.”

The carrot-top looked to his lover for guidance as to what to do next. Finding no answer in the green eyes, he slowly began to remove the shirt. His fingers shook with anticipation. He didn’t know if it was because he would soon be with Kurama or because Hiei was watching so close and giving orders.

Kurama was slightly annoyed at his friend’s interference. However, it was shortly lived. He noticed the change in Kuwabara's physiology and decided that it was worth it. The younger teen’s heart was beating faster and his breathing was shallower. More importantly the boy’s cock, which was pressing into his thigh, was harder. Yes, he would definitely be profiting Hiei’s presence tonight and he planned to thoroughly enjoy it.

“Get completely naked.” Once the redheads were undressed Hiei said, “Kuwabara, suck Kurama’s cock.”

The fox liked that order since it would lead to instantaneous gratification. He leaned back on the palms of his hands and spread his legs. “Do as he says; use that delectable mouth of yours.”

Kuwabara lied down in between his lover’s legs, settling on his stomach. He softly licked the steel-like shaft just the way the older redhead liked it. He started at the base and didn’t stop dragging his tongue until he reached the tip. He did it so many times that his tongue turned dry, surely it was a sign that he should move on.

Kurama sighed contently as soon as he felt the warm mouth engulf his erection. He marveled at how good the carrot-top had gotten at giving head. The younger redhead no longer choked as he deep-throated and always made sure to put his tongue to good use. Soon the fox was overwhelmed by the oral ministrations. He fell back in the grass. The older redheaded bucked his hips upwards, thrusting in and out of Kuwabara's mouth.

“Do him now, Kurama.”

The carrot-top reluctantly released the older boy’s erection. He rolled over from his stomach onto his back. He sat up, because he wanted to be able to see everything the redhead was going to do to him.

Kurama, though upset about losing Kuwabara’s mouth, knelt in between the carrot-top’s muscular legs. He licked his lips as he leaned down close to the younger boy’s manhood. He opened wide to accommodate the mouthful. He slowly worked his way down the thick shaft. Once he had swallowed it completely he looked up and gave his lover an exaggerated wink.

Kuwabara exclaimed, “That is so hot!”

“Move Kurama’s hair I can’t see.”

Kuwabara used his right hand to hold the older boy’s lush red mane out of the way. Hiei thought about how much Kuwabara moaned when he was being rough with the boy. He wanted to hear that sound again. He said, “Kurama, use your teeth more, I’m sure he’ll like it.”

The older teen experimentally bit the swollen tip. When he heard Kuwabara emit a sharp hiss he was afraid he hurt the younger boy. However, once he saw look of pleasure etched on his lover’s face he knew better. This time he bit a little harder and followed it up with some loving licks. Once he was done the head was an even darker shade of purple. He moved his mouth lower, nipping at the shaft as he did so. Every place he nibbled was covered with a placating kiss, just in case he had bit too hard.

Kuwabara buried both his hands in Kurama’s hair, twisting the scarlet locks around his fingers. He gently pushed down on his lover’s head, urging his mouth to do even more. As soon as he felt his lover deep-throat him completely, using a generous helping of teeth as he did so, he let out a guttural groan. It was too much; everything the fox did felt so good.

Hiei grinned smugly and said, “I told you he would like it.”

Hiei was incredibly aroused. Being up close was much better than watching from a distance, even more so since he was giving orders. He felt like a king having the two redheads put on a personal show for him. He used the heel of his palm to massage his hardened shaft. He then shoved his hand in his pants and roughly stroked his cock. He allowed his claws to scrape over his shaft, much like the way Kurama’s teeth were on Kuwabara's cock.

The apparition could tell that the carrot-top was really starting to enjoy himself. If the boy came too soon that would ruin his fun. He told the redheads, “I want you to stroke each other’s cocks.”

Kurama sat up. He scooted closer to and wrapped his legs around Kuwabara's waist. Their cocks were squeezed together due to the closeness of their bodies. The two boys arched into each and began rubbing their erections together. When that no longer satisfied them, each teen began to stroke the other’s shaft with their hands.

Hiei told the pair, “Not so close, I can’t see.”

The carrot-top scooted back until only his and the fox’s knees were overlapped. As soon as he was resituated the teens went back to rubbing each other’s manhood. The fire apparition admired the view before him. “Much better.”

The demon moved over towards Kuwabara's belonging and found the boy’s vial of salve. He tossed it to Kurama. “Use this on him.”

Kurama caught the bottle in midair. If Hiei wanted him to use it, it could only mean one thing. Finally the real fun could start. The fox coated his index and middle finger with the lube. “Open your legs some more and lean back.”

The fox placed the tip of his finger at the carrot-top’s entrance. He carefully inserted his index finger first and worked it in and out. After a few minutes he added the second finger. He scissored the digits in order to prepare the teen for what was coming next.

Hiei’s voice was thick with lust as he said, “Take him from behind, Kurama.”

The horny fox replied, “Gladly.”

Kurama leaned forward and gave Kuwabara a deep kiss. When he broke it off he told the carrot-top, “Get on all fours.” Once the younger teen was in position the fox then said in a conspiring whisper, “Let’s give him a good show.”

Kuwabara nodded his head enthusiastically. “Yeah.”

Part of Hiei wanted to jump in and join the two redheads, but he was having too much fun calling out commands. He freed his erection from his pants, giving it the proper attention it deserved. His hand moved up and down it at a frenzied pace. He was looking forward to what he was about to see next.

Kurama quickly lubed his cock. He steadied it with his left hand and guided it towards Kuwabara. He pushed the tip in and paused to give the boy time to adjust. It continued that way, the fox sliding in an inch at a time, until he buried deep within the carrot-top. He moved at languid pace, careful not to rush it.

“Go faster.” A satisfied smiled spread across the fire apparition’s lips as the fox sped up his thrusts. “Give it to him harder, I know he can take it.”

Kurama wasn’t about to do that without first getting the younger boy’s approval. He asked in a low voice, “Kuwabara?”

The carrot-top nodded his approval and said, “It’s okay, I want you to.”

Kurama pulled out so that only the head of his cock remained inside. He plowed into his lover’s inviting body, burying himself to the hilt. He could have came from the first stroke alone, it felt that good. He clutched the carrot-top’s hips in a desperate attempt to regain control of his body. Once he had calmed down enough, he renewed his thrusts with great vigor. He drove in and out of the tight tunnel hard and fast, giving it to the younger boy for all he was worth.

The fox had entertained the fire demon long enough. He wanted to complete his release and he wanted to do it now. He gave one final thrust before erupting inside his lover. He told the carrot-top, “I’m sorry I didn’t wait for you. You felt so good that I couldn’t hold off anymore.” The redhead withdrew from the younger boy and sat down next to him in the grass. His desires were completely satiated.

Hiei may have had no control over Kurama’s climax, but he did over Kuwabara's. When he saw the teen stroking his erection the demon barked, “Stop it!”

Kuwabara was frustrated about having to stop. His voice was strained as he asked, “Why’d you make stop?! I was so close!”

The demon didn’t offer an answer; he merely told the boy, “Lie on your back.”

The carrot-top did as he was told. The apparition moved closer to the boy and placed a hand on each of the teen’s knees, forcing his legs open even wider. “Masturbate for me.”

Kuwabara wrapped his right hand around his erection and slowly began to stroke it. Hiei had made him hold off his release so long that he was at his limits. It didn’t help the situation that both Hiei and Kurama were watching him so intently. He could feel their eyes staring expectantly at his crotch; the green and red eyes only heightened his arousal.

If Hiei moved his hand any faster he was going to give himself a friction burn. He didn’t care though, he only wanted to come. And with Kuwabara moaning and writhing in the grass as he was, it was only a matter of seconds.

Kuwabara looked up and locked eyes with the fire apparition. He saw that the crimson orbs were glazed over with lust. ‘Is that because of me?’ With that thought in mind the carrot-top came, spilling his semen on his hand and stomach. The demon quickly followed suit, shooting his seed into the grass.

Kurama almost wished that he held of on his own release so that he could have joined his two companions. He picked up Kuwabara's hand and licked the come that covered it. In between licks he said, “Now I know why you watch, Hiei.” He leaned down and ran his tongue over the boy’s stomach and lapped up some more of the pearly liquid. “It is a most erotic sight.”

Hiei quickly stuffed his now flaccid penis in his pants and left. As he walked away he thought to himself, ‘So much for having him begging me.’

The fox watched the fire demon until he was swallowed up by the dark forest. He told the younger teen, “Don’t take that personally.”

“I don’t, he did the same thing last time.” The carrot-top touched his stomach. Even though Kurama had licked most of it off, he was still sticky. “Let’s go clean up.”

“All right.”

The pair gathered their clothes. They decided to go the pond since it was closest. Once they arrived they sat next to the water and began washing up. Kurama glanced at his companion and said, “Tomorrow is our last day of training. We leave the day after that for the tournament. Are you nervous?”

Kuwabara splashed water over his abs. “Nope, I’m ready to kick ass and be done with it.”

The fox chuckled at the boy’s comment; he enjoyed the bold statements the carrot-top made. “Be sure to remember all your training and you’ll be fine. I have faith in you.”

“Thanks, that means a lot to me.” Kuwabara nervously glanced at his friend. “What about us?”

“I assume you’re referring to our relationship of sorts.”

“Yeah, that’s what I meant. Once we’re done training is it over? Or are we gonna keep doing it?”

Kurama smiled at the younger boy and patted his shoulder. “With the tournament coming up that’s the least of your troubles. Good night.” The fox redressed and headed back to camp, leaving the carrot-top by the pond.

‘What does he mean by that? Why wouldn’t he answer me? Maybe he’s bored with me too…’

The human’s thoughts were interrupted when he sensed a certain fire apparition’s presence. He asked in a grumpy voice, “What do you want?”

Hiei stood behind the boy and spoke to his back. “I want you tomorrow after training.” The apparition quickly vanished into the darkness.

‘Who the hell does he think he is?! He tells me that he wants me then he leaves like it’s no big deal…well, that is what I wanted so I guess I can’t really complain. But he’s still a jerk.’
