The Aftermath

I'm really, really a bit nervous about how this scene will be received. If you are underage (You shouldn't be reading this in the first place!) DO NOT, I repeat... DO NOT read this scene!! Go to bed, go do your homework, clean your room... You have been warned by Momma Hie(08) (Brandishes kitanna)!

Now, for the rest of us "mature" people... Please enjoy! I don't think you'll mind the.. er.. length.. in the end. :o)*

Scene 12 ------------------------------------- Three Hours Later

* When the Memorial Service was concluded a small group of Yusuke's closer friends, plus Yomi, Mukuro, and the Spirit World trio had gathered in the medical area's larger waiting room. Touya is the first to break the silence and look up at Koenma.

Touya- How long is he usually out during one of these spells, Lord Koenma?
Koenma- Usually only about one or two hours... I'm going to go check on them.
Chu- If the bloke's awake, tell 'im that he has visitor's, mate.
Koenma- Right.

* Koenma goes down the hall. When he enters the room he knows Yusuke's in he finds Kurama knelt beside Yusuke laying a cool rag on his forehead. Kurama glances up at Koenma timidly, reacting to his powerful aura as he never had before.

Koenma- Any change?

* Kurama shakes his head. Yukina stands from the other side of the thick futon Yusuke is laying on.

Yukina- He's physically fine... I think perhaps it was too soon or too much lately for him to deal with.

* Koenma sighs.

Koenma- Well, there's a whole waiting room full of concerned demons out there.

* Kurama turns, staying on his knees, and looks up at the Prince.

Kurama- Sir,.. where is Hiei?

* Koenma glances toward Yukina.

Koenma- It's... complicated...

* On the futon, Yusuke yawns. His hearing has returned to him first, then his voice. Kurama looks down at him.

Yusuke- He... t-took off... Away from m-me... Just like you did...

* Kurama takes Yusuke's hand and holds it as he looks up at Yukina, then Koenma.

Kurama- Please... Could we have some privacy?
Yukina- Of course, Kurama.

* Koenma nods and holds the door open for Yukina. Koenma then looks back toward Kurama and Yusuke a moment.

Koenma- (Quietly) Help each other... please.

* Neither answers, so the godling leaves. Kurama continues to hold Yusuke's hand as the dark-haired Toushin continues to wake up. When he finally sits up he avoids looking at the silver fox.

Yusuke- Sorry, Kuwa... I f---ed up again.
Kurama- The Service wasn't disturbed too much, from what I gather.

* Yusuke glances at him.

Yusuke- From what you...?
Kurama- I've stayed in here with you... As I should have done a month ago...
Yusuke- (Quietly) We both know why you really left, Kurama.
Kurama- You think you know...
Yusuke- Well, I'm awake. I'll be fine now. You can return to Yomi.
Kurama- There's something I need to do... Give me your right hand, please.

* When Yusuke hesitantly obeys, Kurama pulls him back around and over closer to him. Kurama then places the hand on his stomache. The Toushin feels a pulse almost immediately course through them both. Yusuke raises his eyes puzzled.

Yusuke- What...?
Kurama- I'm introducing them to their Daddy.

* Yusuke swallows and looks back down at Kurama's middle.

Yusuke- M-my...
Kurama- Our kits.

* Yusuke closes his eyes, enjoys the sensation of feeling the tiny life forces a couple moments, then pries his hand away from the kitsune. Kurama watches him turn away. For a moment, the kitsune's heart sinks. But then he sees how visibly shaken Yusuke has become again. Kurama realizes how much Yusuke needs him in that moment. In the next, the kitsune realizes how much he, himself, needs.. and wants Yusuke.

Yusuke- (Quietly) W-will he... accept them?

* Kurama forces himself to remain calm and patient.

Kurama- Do you want Yomi to raise your kits?

* In a sudden, brief Alpha instinct-induced flare, Yusuke glares at the silver kitsune beside him.

Yusuke- H--- no!!

* Yusuke looks away again to calm himself.

Yusuke- B-but I... I know that you'll never be able to.. trust me again...
Kurama- What makes you say that?
Yusuke- I know why you... really ran, Kurama... You know what I let that...
Kurama- Yusuke. Look at me.

* The Toushin hesitantly meets Kurama's golden gaze.

Kurama- Yomi has left this decision up to me...
Yusuke- Then choose wisely in this, like you do everything else... Choose a mate that has proven himself worthy of you. One that's strong enough to protect you and... your kits...
Kurama- I have already done that.

* Yusuke nods and starts to look away again, but Kurama raises a hand to his cheek, stopping him.

Kurama- I've chosen you,... Lord Urameshi.

* Yusuke stares blankly at Kurama, until his words sink in past his despair.

Kurama- If you can forgive my stupidity in leaving you...
Yusuke- You-you left because I let...

* Kurama shakes his head as he moves a thumb over to gently quiet his chosen Alpha.

Kurama- No. I ran because I'm a kitsune.

* Yusuke tilts his head puzzled.

Yusuke- Oh? Is that another kind of demon ritual, nature thingy that... I don't know about? D--- it, I should've paid more attention to those monks...

* Kurama bows his head to chuckle warmly. Both of them beginning to feel those same stirrings toward each other as they did back in Satjiyu's dungeon.

Kurama- You might say that... But you know how... agitated I was in that cell...

* Now Yusuke remembers Hiei's words about what captivity can do to kitsunes. He swallows again and lifts Kurama's pale face to look into his golden eyes again.

Yusuke- So... you were running madly through Demon World...?

* Yusuke's eyes travel down Kurama's body now, taking note of the various healing scars and bruises.

Yusuke- And you.. went to... him...?
Kurama- I couldn't think of anywhere else to go... After I'd shamed you so in leaving you...

* Now it is Yusuke who quiets Kurama as he raises his eyes back up.

Yusuke- No more... leaving... Do you feel the same pull I'm feeling.. Deep inside?

* Kurama nods and locks his golden eyes on Yusuke.

Kurama- Oh h--- yes... We need each other, Yusuke. I'm despondent without you...
Yusuke- And I'm not whole without you..
Both- And Hiei...
Yusuke- We'll find him.. together...

* Kurama nods and leans closer to Yusuke. Waiting for him to make the first move. Fully ready to accept his new position of Beta to this powerful Mazoku Toushin.

Kurama- Yes. Together... If you still want me... I am yours, Yusuke Urameshi.

(Momma Hiei(08)- This is the last warning, if you are an underage ningen! - Growl!!)

* For several moments, the two demi demons study each others' faces and auras. Yusuke feels Kurama lowering his youkai. He feels how his own youkai begins to preen, pulling him to raise up onto his knees. Slowly Yusuke gives in to his instincts. Kurama listens to his, also, and lays back to place himself willingly beneath Yusuke. In every aspect of the word. Yusuke moves into a crouching position over top of the kitsune with a quiet, non-agressive growl. Their eyes remain locked.

Yusuke- (Quietly) If... we do.. what we're starting here... It's for keeps, Fox.

* Yusuke hears Kurama's tail thump the floor happily.

Kurama- (Quietly) I'll.. take that... as a promise,.. Love.

* Yusuke nods.

Yusuke- You do that,.. Babe.

* Yusuke dips his head down to brush Kurama's lips cautiously, his body sinking to spread out over top of him.

Yusuke- No regrets?
Kurama- H--- no... You?
Yusuke- oh h--- no... Not about this.. Not anymore...

* Kurama lifts his head to capture Yusuke's mouth once more. As their kissing becomes deeper, more passionate, their instincts connect. Yusuke's youkai, though, remains mindful of Kurama's 'condition' and he doesn't place his full weight on the kitsune, even if his frame is a bit larger. Soon Yusuke allows his mouth to begin migrating down Kurama's jawline, then down the side of his neck, searching until he finds the main artery. Kurama allows his head to roll to the side giving his Alpha as much room as he'll need. As soon as Yusuke's mouth finds the right spot, the pulse point on the right side of Kurama's throat, it triggers his full demon form to show itself. He growls against the pulse. He feels his dark hair begin to grow, tickling his neck, shoulders, and down his back. It then shimmers out to it's bright white. Yusuke feels his skin tingle as the black markings of his heritage emerge and spread. The growth of his body, as well as the burst of his energy, obliterates the yukata that Kurama had changed him into. Then, at last, Yusuke feels his fangs elongate and another growl erupts from him, a louder more dominant one that makes Yomi's ears wiggle erratically in the waiting room. Mukuro glances at the goat Lord sitting beside her, then shakes her head and returns to her own thoughts. Yusuke's eyes flare to a brilliant blue, matching the aura that now envelopes the two mating demons.

Yusuke- (Growl) Mine!

* He feels the kitsune nod quickly, hears Kurama keen as he recognizes Yusuke's authority.

Kurama- Always... Forever, Love... Yours!

* Their connection pulses stronger through them both. Yusuke reacts by sinking his razor sharp fangs into Kurama's pulse. Kurama reacts by going completely limp, submissive beneath Yusuke, accepting the brief pain. The taste of Kurama's blood is the sweetest that Yusuke has ever tasted. Then, as it floods down Yusuke's throat, into his deeper being, he begins to feel his mate's emotions. Joy, excitement, satisfaction... completion. Then his aura slowly relaxes and he sends his mental permission to Kurama, 'Your turn, Kurama'. Yusuke rolls, pulling the kitsune's upper body with him. Now it is Kurama's turn to be puzzled, 'Yusuke,..?' . The Toushin moans, keeping his fangs latched in Kurama's neck, 'Do it... We will be equals, Kurama... I won't lower you'. The impact of Yusuke's words goes straight to Kurama's youkai. When he feels Yusuke's fangs retract slowly now, Kurama closes his eyes.

Yusuke- (Softly) It's okay, Kurama... We belong together... We are equals...

* Kurama's eyes begin to flare, now, as he looks down to meet Yusuke's. Again, Yusuke nods.

Yusuke- Come on, Foxy.. Let's do this right.

* Slowly Kurama's lip curls back into a lusty, sensual smile, revealing a hint of his sharp fangs. He nods.

Kurama- Okay, Baby... We do this my way now... The kitsune way.
Yusuke- (Moaning sigh) Oh h--- yeeahhh...

* Keeping his eyes on Yusuke's as long as he can, Kurama lowers his head to begin exploring the Toushin's chest, laving over the tattoos slowly. Yusuke feels his mate's lust through their connection and his body reacts quickly. Kurama takes his time, slowly worshipping his mate's fully masculine body with his long, lithe tongue. Then with a mewling purr he pulls back crouching on his knees. Yusuke looks down to meet his glowing gold eyes. That same sensual smile.

Kurama- (Quietly) Yusuke,... Alpha... How do you think foxes.. do it?

* Kurama's tail raises to sway over his back excitedly. It soon dawns on Yusuke and his own lusty smile spreads as he nods.

Yusuke- Ohhh... yeaaahh.

* Yusuke rolls and raises up onto his hands and knees. He leers back over his shoulder at Kurama as he wiggles his rear.

Yusuke- You mean.. like this, foxboy?

* Kurama mewls and gives in quickly to his instincts. As soon as Yusuke feels where Kurama begins to nuzzle him he lowers his head and spreads his knees. This is all the signal that Kurama needs and he quickly moves up to mount Yusuke's hips. Then common sense makes its way back into his brain and he leans forward to nuzzle Yusuke's ear as he whispers something to him. Yusuke 'eeps'.

Yusuke- Tie? What the h---...?

* Kurama whispers again and Yusuke.. 'eeps' again. But then when he hears the kitsune's laughing, purring mewl, Yusuke relaxes. He tilts his head to nod at Kurama with his own low growl.

Yusuke- Okay. I'm.. up for it... Go for it, Babe.
Kurama- (Quietly) I'm rather... large, Yusuke... It may...
Yusuke- (Seriously) I've had worse, Fox... (Nods) Do it, Kurama... I can handle it.

* With a nod, Kurama lowers his mouth to continue licking at Yusuke's neck as his hips begin to pump slowly. As Yusuke had promised he remains completely calm, accepting Kurama's mating without any further delays. Yusuke keeps his head low and pants quietly when Kurama latches his jaws gently onto the back of his neck. Yusuke feels, through their connection, that this is not an act of aggressive dominance. Instead it serves to steady the Toushin's body as the kitsune delivers his "ultimate" thrust. Yusuke clinches his teeth, only allowing the slightest moan to escape at the brief, sharp pain. Then the next thing Yusuke knows, Kurama sinks his own fangs into the pulse point on the right side of his neck. Yusuke tilts his head giving him all the room Kurama needs. A half a moment later, the Toushin feels Kurama reach his completion deep inside him. When Kurama finally withdraws his fangs he lowers his hands from embracing Yusuke to brace himself up. Yusuke looks sideways at his mate. Both of them heaving.

Yusuke- S-so... How long...?

* Kurama smiles wearily at Yusuke then moves his mouth back to nuzzle his ear and whisper. Again, Yusuke 'eeps'.
