General A/N: I don’t own the characters or show. I’m bad at editing, if I do it at all, so there will most likely be errors. I’m updating chapter by chapter so I’m not sure how often I’ll update, but I’ll try to make it soon. And lastly this story is told by Hiei’s POV.

Turns out that I’m not going to be to over worked with class work this week but next week I will be. So I got to write and update much sooner than I had planned. Hope ya enjoy!


Eternal Darkness
Part 13: Friend or Foe
Ravenx

Two weeks. That’s how long it has been since our training session with Jin and Touya. A couple of days later Kurama’s mother returned home. I began using the window again to reach my love. I don’t like his mother being in the house when I am trying to be with him.

I have to be quiet and so does he. When I want him to scream my name in pleasure all he does is find something, usually the pillow, to bite down on. I hate that. I like it when he says my name in the heat of passion.

It has also been two weeks with no word from Yusuke until yesterday that is. Yusuke called Kurama’s house and talked to him for several minutes. I don’t know exactly what was said but Kurama kept rolling his eyes and getting interrupted when he tried to speak.

Some how Ka waa was able to get Yusuke quiet long enough to make an appointment for us to meet at the clearing today to discuss this like ration people. Hn. Whatever.

Kurama and I have been standing in the clearing for ten minutes waiting for Yusuke and the orange baka to show up. I have my arm possessively around his waist, letting them know when they show up that this fox is mine. No matter what they say he will be mine.

All of a sudden the two appear from the opposite side of the clearing and make their way to us, stopping several feet away as if afraid to come closer. Especially the baka.

I keep quiet. Kurama is the one that usually talks to these two. Let him do it now. I’m not disappointed.

“Thank you for coming.” Kurama nods his head in a sign of appreciation.

“You’re a good team mate, Kurama. We want you back.” Yusuke looks down at me. “But him we don’t.”

Sighing Kurama begins to try and explain. “Yusuke, please, don’t get all hot headed again. Let us try to explain things. Okay?”

“Fine, but one wrong move from you,” he points at me, “and we are gone.” He sits on the ground cross-legged followed by the baka.

I let go of Kurama’s waist so that we can sit, leaning against a tree. I don’t know if they didn’t notice my arm or if they were ignoring it. Knowing them they probably didn’t notice. Once we are seated I don’t replace my arm, instead I make sure I’m close enough so that our knees touch.

After minutes of silence Kurama decides to speak. “It is kind of difficult to explain. You see Hiei is not quite a normal demon. He is a little different. He…Hiei is…is.” He looks over to me.

Taking a deep breath I continue for him. “I am a so called creature of the night. A nosferatu. A vampire.” I watch them closely.

At first they just stare at me. Both giving me one of their dumb looks, which isn’t really different from their normal looks to be honest. After a long couple of minutes and still nothing I look over at Kurama.

He just shrugs. “Hmm…Yusuke? Kuwabara?”

“What are you talking about?” Yusuke keeps his eyes on me.

“I am a vampire.” Maybe if I say it slow enough they will understand.

“That’s impossible, shorty, you’re a demon.” I hate it when the baka calls me that.

“Yes. But demons can become vampires too. It’s just not common. Most vampires go after humans.” I wait for this to sink into their think skulls.

“How?” Is all Yusuke can manage to say.

“Blood exchange.” I may not remember exact what happened when I was transformed but I do remember the taste of blood on my lips and the bit mark on my neck. I just put two and two together.

“But…that…wh…” The baka, as eloquent as always.

“Yusuke, when you saw Hiei in the alley did you get a good look?” Kurama leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.

“Well, truthfully I didn’t exactly see everything but you were covered in blood and there was a dead man. What was I suppose to think?” Yusuke looks at me with serious eyes.

“Well you were half right about what you saw Yusuke.” Kurama looks over at me. “Hiei tell him.”

“I killed him. But I had to.” I’m expecting yelling about now. But surprisingly nothing of the sort happens.

“Why?”

“Vampires need blood. I was about to visit Kurama and I hadn’t feed in a while. If I hadn’t eaten I would have probably feed from him.” And that is something I would never do, unless I have his permission of course.

“But you did kill that man.” I’m surprised that Yusuke isn’t jumping around,otinoting off his big mouth.

“Yes.”

“You killed a human?”

“Yes.” I can tell he is about to explode.

“Yusuke, that man was not innocent. He wasn’t good. Tell him Hiei.” Kurama turns pleading eyes to me.

“He killed a young girl in cold blood. But he got away from the police.”

“How do you know this? He tell you?”

“No.” I pointed to the white bandana hiding my Jagan.

“Oh.” He looks thoughtful for a moment. “Have you killed before?”

“Yes. But only the evil humans.”

“Why? I know you Hiei. I’m sure you don’t care who you kill.”

“Because I know it would of hurt Kurama.” Simple explanation.

He looks at me strangely for a moment. “That’s the onlyson?son?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t understand.” He looks from me to Kurama, waiting for one of us to speak.

“Well, it’s kind of like this. Hiei and I are…well we’re…” Kurama seems to be having a problem deciding what to call us.

“Lovers.” I conceal a smile as Kurama looks at me with wide eyes and Yusuke’s and Kuwabara’s mouths drop open. Guess I was a little blatant.

“You’re what?” Yusuke eyes look as if they are about to pop out of his head.

“Lovers. Boyfriends. Partners. Pick one.” I have no idea why I’m loosening up in front of them so much.

“O…okay.” He looks as if he wants to say something but can’t find the words.

I glance over at Kuwabara to find that he has moved back a couple of feet. He looks like a scared little puppy.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“You…you’re a vampire? A real one?” I nod. “You ain’t…you know…go…going to kill me for…for calling you…you names, are you?”

This would be a good time to tease. I smirk, but before I can open my mouth Kurama grips my knee. “Hiei.” He says in a warning tone. He is no fun.

“No. Just watch it from now on.” The baka visibly relaxes a little.

“Hiei, were you a vampire before you joined the team?” Yusuke seems to have relaxed as well.

“Yes.”

“Then why didn’t you tell us? Why did you wait until now?” Because I want to mate with the fox and make him a vampire too.

“I just thought the time was right.” Good enough. But I do want to be talk to Yusuke alone about it later.

“And how long have you two been…uhhh…you know?”

“Just a couple of weeks.” Kurama smiles over at me before looking back at Yusuke. “What do you think about all this?”

“Well. It will take some getting use to. But I think as long as Hiei doesn’t attack one of us I can be okay with it.” Yusuke looks in thought for a moment. “And that he doesn’t hurt you. And mean in any way.” He keeps his eyes locked on Kurama’s as if asking him to understand.

I know that they have a very strong friendship but I don’t like the way Yusuke is looking at my fox. So I possessively wrap my arm around my fox’s waist pulling him up against my side. They break eye contact with each other to look at me, Kurama smiling, Yusuke studying me closely.

After a moment he breaks into a smile. “Okay.” He looks over at the orange baka. “What about you, Kuwabara? How do you feel about all this?”

The baka looks around at all of us. “Just…uhhh…you know…behave…Yeah. Don’t even think of doing anything bad. Got it shrimp!” He tries to look all big and mean. This could be fun.

I just smirk, letting my fangs extract just a little so that he can see them. He shrieks as he scoots back even further from us. I think his eyes may pop out of his head.

“Hiei!” Kurama slaps my knee. I chuckle as look back over at the scared baka.

“I’ll behave as long as you cut the nicknames.” Seems fair to me.

He just nods his head franticly, looks like it will be shook off if he isn’t careful. Good. I hate the short comments he makes or used to make that is.

Yusuke jumps up and starts to stretch. “Want to train?” How he can go from being totally serious to his usual dumb self so fast I will never know.

The rest of us stand up. I free Kurama from my grip and look up at him. “Why don’t you and the baka go first?” I hope that he understands my unspoken question. I want to talk to Yusuke privately but I don’t want Kurama to know about what.

He looks at me uncertain for a moment. Then gives me a little smile. Looking back to the baka he speaks. “Do you mind, Kuwabara?” No, No, that’s fine.” They walk to the center of the clearing and get into fighting stances.

As Kuwabara runs at Kurama I turn to Yusuke to find him looking at me.

“What did you want to speak to me about?” So he isn’t as dumb as he looks or acts.

“There is something that Kurama doesn’t know yet. The really reason I told you guys now.” I keep my voice low just incase the two fighting get to close.

“What is it?” He is staring down at me with his eyes narrowed.

“I want to mate with him. I just want to make sure that you will still be his friend after.”

He scrunches up his nose. “Okay first I don’t really want to know all the details but I thought you two had been together for a couple weeks. You mean you haven’t…you know, yet?”

Baka. “Of course we have. But that is sex. Not mating.”

“Remember no details but what is the difference?”

“In order for us to mate, which is forever, I need to turn him.” I watch him closely, both of us ignore a loud thud behind us.

“You mean make him into a vampire like you?”

“Yes. I haven’t told him and you won’t tell him. But your friendship means a lot to him. He has been in silent pain the last couple of weeks thinking you hated him. I want to make sure that you won’t hurt him again if I change him.”

“You’re not going to tell him? You’re just going to do it? What if it isn’t something he wants?” That is the question that I have been asking myself.

“I will tell him before. I will give him the chance tcidecide himself. If wants it I will turn him, if not I won’t.” And I’ll die of heartbreak.

“So he will be able to decided himself.” He looks over my shoulder, probably watching the other two. But I keep my eyes trained on him. Finally he looks back at me. “If he chooses to be turned then I will accept him like I’m accepting you.” Good.

I nod my head before I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn to see Kurama looking down at me. “Gomen, but me and Kuwabara are done. It’s your turn.”

I look to see Kuwabara leaning against a near by tree holding his arm that has a long slash in it, no blood. Looks like my fox beat the baka, of course. Yusuke starts toward the center of the clearing, I begin to follow but the hand is still on my shoulder stopping me.
n I n I turn I find him bent down at my level. He brushes a hand through my flame shaped hair.

“What did you need to discuss with Yusuke?” I know he doesn’t want to pry but he is just curious but I don’t want him to know yet.

“Something that is just between me and him.” I kiss his nose like he has done me so many times before. “Don’t worry. You’ll know soon.” He smiles and nods his head before I turn and continue on my way to Yusuke.

I didn’t tell him a lie. I’m going to tell him soon. I just have to get everything ready. It’s going to be a very memorable night for my little fox.
