Chapter 14


In Makai, outside of the examination room, Yusuke began to pace back and forth. Hiei remained glued to the wall he was leaning against both eyes closed.

“I wonder what she found. I hope it isn’t anything too serious.”

“I am sure that whatever ails Kurama, Mukuro will find a way to remedy it.” Hiei replied. One eye opened to take in his friend’s agitated state.

Yusuke felt something buzzing in his pocket, startling him. He pulled the object from his pocket to reveal it was the compact communicator. He flipped it open and the screen turned on to reveal a distraught tiny lord.

“Yusuke! We have a big problem on our hands!”

“Yeah, tell me something I don’t know.”

“Where are you right now? We need you guys to get on this case ASAP.” Koenma’s panicked voice yelled.

“Why? Did daddy dearest find out?” Yusuke retorted with a smirk.

“No…thank kami. But really Yusuke you need to get downtown, here have a look see.” Koenma adjusted the communicator to zoom in on the big screen.

People ran through the streets. Panic and chaos ravaged downtown Tokyo. Other pedestrians tossed debris, ransacked buildings, and started fires. Women, children, and men were attacking one another. A girl that looked about five picked up a broken piece of glass and stabbed her mother in the leg. The sky turned a hazy blue as screams filled the air. Yusuke’s eyes widened at how quickly things had escalated since he just left Ningenkai a few minutes ago.

“What the hell, Koenma! Where’s the fucking SDF or sumthin?” Yusuke shouted.

Hiei’s eyes opened fully as he listened to the exchange. Yusuke couldn’t believe that this was happening to him at this point in his life. His girlfriend/ fiancé leaves him, his mate and best friend is sick, and the whip cream on this whole fiasco is that he still had to play Detective. He was removed from that position and here he had to do it again. Yeah, things just kept getting better and better.

“Yusuke…Yusuke do you hear me?” Koenma screamed.

“Um yeah…hell well right now we’re in Makai. At Mukuro’s place.”

“Well why are you there?”

Yusuke took his patented deep breath and plunged right into the explanation as best as he could.

“You see…Kurama got sick at work so I took him home. Then when I got back to work Kurama’s stepfather came into the office and told me Kurama got sick at home and was rushed to the hospital where his mother and stepbrother were waiting for us. So I went into his room to talk to him, he told me to take him to YOU, but Hiei showed up and suggested we go to Mukuro…so here we are.” Yusuke finished inhaling deeply.

Koenma’s face stared blankly back at the toushin, his eyes just now blinking back into focus and registering what his friend had just relayed.

“Um whatever you just said Yusuke. But get back here when you find out he’s better. Give him my well wishes.” Koenma said as the screen went black.

Yusuke closed the compact and sighed in frustration. He really needed some sleep, food, or something to take his mind off this life for just a second. The sound of the door opening up caused both demons to look at said door to see Mukuro walking towards them.

“Is he all right? Can I see him now?” Yusuke asked rushing to meet the demon lord halfway.

Mukuro finally acknowledged his presence with a curt nod and stepped aside. Before Yusuke could open the door Mukuro’s voice hung in the air.

“I want you to know that as of this moment right now, Kurama will not be in any condition to go on any missions. He is to rest for two weeks at the most so he’ll need round about care. Hiei that is where you need to be. I need you to help watch over him and make sure Mister Reckless doesn’t do anything that will hinder Kurama further.” Mukuro issued with a tone that brook on no arguments.

Hiei only nodded his head and pushed himself off the wall to head to his bedroom.

“I’ll go get things prepared for your departure. Until then you are on official leave until I deem you fit to return. Yusuke, you go and take care of the kitsune, he’ll need your support the most.”

With that said, she disappeared through another door leading into the hallway. Not wasting any more time, Yusuke headed into the room that housed his mate. Hiei stood outside a little longer giving his friends some time alone.


Inside the sound of the different machines reverberated in the room. His eyes quickly scanned the room with its various machines and equipment when they finally came to rest on his beloved’s form in the makeshift hospital bed. He approached the bed slowly taking in everything from his paler than normal complexion, the slow rise and fall of his chest, even the subtle movements of his eyelids.

“Hey fox. I’m here and I want you to get better. You hear that Kurama, if you don’t I’ma kick your flowery ass. So wake up dammit.” Yusuke pleaded as a tear fell from his eyes and onto Kurama’s cheek.

Yusuke took his mate’s hand in his and pressed it against his face. Even though Mukuro said he was okay, seeing him lying there only made his already racing heart pound ruthlessly against his ribcage. The hand resting against his cheek began to move and stroke it gently.

“Kurama,” Yusuke’s eyes opened and saw a pair of dark green ones that he fell in love with gazing back at him. “You stupid fox, having me worry like that.” He kissed Kurama briefly on the lips before pulling back and smiling. “You had me worried sick. I thought I was gonna lose you.”

Kurama smiled and shook his head. “Koi, I could never leave you. We’re bonded and even if I did somehow I would always find my way back to you.”

“Yea right, just what the hell happened? First, you pass out and then you almost give up the fight. I thought I lost you when I just found you.”

Kurama’s eyes widened as he took in his surroundings. Seeing that he was no longer in the human hospital he felt relieved then panicked when he noticed he wasn’t in the Reikei.

“Um Yusuke where are we? I could have sworn I told you to take me to Koenma.”

“Ah yea about that,” Hiei took that moment to enter the room and nodded in the direction of his two friends, “You see, Shorty over there decided we should bring you to bionic woman’s lair instead of diaper boy’s domain.” Yusuke chuckled despite the situation.

However, the fox didn’t look too thrilled to be in a place where he was unfamiliar with the territory. At least within Reikei he knew where he could venture. Here he had know idea where he could go. Soon his eyes roamed the room and rested on his new guest leaning against the far wall. Hiei met his knowing gaze and smirked. ‘He knows!’ Kurama nearly shouted but held his composure. ‘How does he know?’ As if to answer his unasked question a slight pulse emitted from the Jagan from beneath the headband. ‘Of course. Damn Hiei.’ Hiei in turned smirked again and closed his eyes, all three of them.

“So what did Mukuro say?” Kurama asked hesitantly.

“Well nothing actually except that you can’t go on any missions and now Hiei’s moving in with us…which I don’t agreed with but whatever.” He growled out the last part. Hiei said nothing. Kurama just closed his eyes. “She told me I had to ask you what was wrong. So what’s wrong with my fox?”

Kurama looked everywhere except at his mate who could feel piercing him with his glare. ‘How on earth can I tell him that I’m carrying his child? Even I don’t know how though I have a theory.’ He looked down at his hands in his lap, twiddling his thumbs.

“Yusuke…love…I don’t know how to say this…but… I’m”

Bzzzzzz. Bzzzzzz. Bzzzzz. Whoever was looking down on them Kurama praised their timing. Yusuke groaned in frustration as he roughly jerked the communicator from his pants pocket.

“What the hell do you want now pacifier breathe?” Yusuke yelled.

“Who are you calling pacifier breath your insolent punk.” Genkai replied with a stern frown.

“Oh shit. Um sorry grandmom thought you were-wait---wait a minute how did you get a communicator?” Yusuke wore a dumbfounded expression.

“I got it from that ferry girl, Botan. She told me I could have one if I ever needed to get in contact with you. Anyway long story short your friend has returned.” She moved the communicator around to show the grinning face of an orange-haired youth waving happily.

“As you can see he’s fine and driving me crazy.”

“Don’t worry grandmom we’re on our way back now.” Yusuke closed the communicator and looked back to Kurama. “Are we able to take you home?”

“Yes! By all means let’s get the hell out of here, pardon my French.” Kurama tossed the blanket that was covering him to the floor and reached out to grab the hand his mate held out for him.

“But what about Mukuro? Doesn’t she-”

“Yusuke, I just want to go home. I need to be at home right now. Please just take me home.” Kurama collapsed into Yusuke’s arms and began to shake.

Yusuke held his mate close rubbing soothing circles on his back and nuzzling the mating mark on his neck. Hiei looked at the couple and made his exit to inform Mukuro of the state of things. Alone at last, Yusuke helped Kurama back onto the bed and climbed in beside him. He continued to nuzzle and massage his backside. Kurama moved closer wrapping his arms and entwining their legs together. Slowly they fell into a light dose with the hissing from the machines as the only noisemakers.


Yusuke made sure his fox was still soundly asleep before moving off the bed and headed towards the doors. As soon as he went to grab the handle, it flew open causing him to lose balance and fall on his enticing ass.

“Geez, what the hell?” He yelled nursing his sore bottom.

“Ah, just the one I wanted to see long gone from my territory, Lord Yusuke.” Came the snide remark.

“We would have left already but my mate needed to regain his strength.” Yusuke growled. He hopped back to his feet and brushed himself off. “Besides what time is it anyway?”

“It is almost six o’clock in the human world. And I agree he will be needing lots of rest. Be sure he gets plenty of it. Now, if I return to see the two of you still here it will not be in any of your best interests. Understand?” She turned to head back the same way she entered.

“Bionic Bitch.” Yusuke muttered as he walked back over to the bed. He gazed at his mate’s peaceful expression and stroked his hair lovingly. “Hey foxy…fox…you have to get up or Shiori will see us naked.”

Kurama’s eyes opened widely as he scrambled to cover his already clad body. Yusuke couldn’t help but laugh at the pure look of horror on his mate’s face.

“I’m kidding. At least I know how to wake you up, my sexy vixen.” Yusuke purred as he kissed Kurama’s lips. “But in all seriousness, Bionic Bitch wants us gone and I can’t agree any better than that. So let’s get you ready, yeah?”

“Yusuke, first of all don’t ever scare me like that again, I could have stressed out the...” Kurama broke off and looked at his hands that were just below his stomach.

“You could have stressed what Kurama?”

“I…I could have caused myself to stress my body than it already is. I’m still a bit ill and don’t want to cause you any more concern.” Kurama lied. Fibbed. Well half-truthed.

“Oh, okay. I’m sorry. I didn’t think waking you with a blowjob would have been such a bright idea.” Yusuke grinned slyly.

“Well, I don’t think it would have caused me any problems.” Kurama grinned in return.

He pulled Yusuke down for a passionate kiss. Their tongues danced together, stroking, caressing, and trying to win against the other. Kurama moaned as Yusuke started rubbing his thumb over his clothed left nipple.

“Mmmmm…Yus…ke…” Kurama pulled him on top of him, spreading his legs for his mate. Yusuke filled the gap and thrusted his hips to brush their growing erections together. “Oh gods…I feel like I’m on fire…”

Yusuke removed his finger and placed it at the hem of the hospital gown, inching it up ever so slowly as his mouth worshipped his mate’s body until his mouth found that glorious, sexy mark. Kurama’s eyes opened wide and a breathy moan escaped his lips. In his mind Yusuke knew they had to leave but his instincts were telling him he needed this, they both did.

“Please love…take me…I need…need…”

“Damn fox you sound so fucking hot I can’t stand it. But we can’t…shit…not here…oh gods right there…fuck….”

Kurama took hold of Yusuke’s hardening cock and started stroking it through his pants. Spreading his legs further, he didn’t even allow the toushin to prepare him. He unzipped the zipper, pulled it free and guided it to his leaking entrance. Yusuke eyed the hungry look on his mate’s face and helped him guide his erection to his heat. Slowly Kurama pushed himself on it and shuddered when his lover was sheathed completely inside.

“Oh my fucking, this feels…ah…oh man…” Yusuke resisted the urge to just fuck his mate senseless but controlled the urge of his inner demon, literally. “Fox your ass is so fucking hot…shit…I don’t think I can move I might cum.”

“Then move, lover.” Kurama brought his legs around Yusuke’s waist and pulled their bodies closer. His hands undid his mate’s shirt and rubbed his chest happily. Pinching his nipples in the process. “Fuck me Koi, fuck me into the mattress. You never did get that sundae.” Kurama smiled lasciviously. Yusuke pulled out half way and plunged back in hitting the fox’s prostate dead-on.

“Yes, that’s it love. Harder. Yes oh gods yes. Yusuke…” Kurama hung his head back as he pushed himself further on Yusuke’s cock, practically riding him.

Yusuke kissed and nibbled on that swan-like neck leaving little red marks in his wake. Kurama’s eyes began to water from bliss at the feeling of being loved by this man. Yusuke felt their impending climax and took a firm grasp on his lover’s erection stroking it in time with his powerful thrusts. Lying his mate back down on the bed, Yusuke changed the pace to slow and long strokes drawing out their orgasms causing him to rub against the bundle of nerves on each stroke. Kurama’s cries of ecstasy grew until his cavern clamped tightly around Yusuke’s cock, his cum streaming out of his erection and onto their stomachs and chest. Yusuke thrust a few more times then released his seed deep within his mate, the fox’s hole milking him of every drop. Both demons body went limp and Yusuke tried to steady his before rolling onto his side and breathing deeply.

“Shit Kurama, that was…was…”

“Fucking hot!” Kurama finished with a toothy grin. “I agree. But now I think we need a shower before venturing out in the open. Don’t want any demons trying to hump you while we’re heading home.” Kurama laughed as he moved his weaken limps to sit up.

“Oh ha ha very funny. I guess you’re right though.” Yusuke said finding a reserve of energy from somewhere and climbed out of bed a sated smile firmly in place.

The both of them gathered themselves up and found the bathroom just a door away and showered quickly. When they returned to the room Yusuke slipped on his button up shirt and handed his jacket to his mate when the door opened and Hiei stood in the arch, smirking.

“Seems the two of you had fun while I was away.” He said smugly.

“Ah fuck off, Hiei. What did she send you to do, get rid of us? We’re leaving okay. I don’t like this half assed castle or whatever the hell it is anyway.”

“My such colorful words and yet I’m here because as you may recall Mukuro put me on permanent leave until…” Hiei’s gaze roamed to the fox who shook his head furiously. “Until this matter with Koenma is settled. She doesn’t want this interfering with my training.”

“Oh so I guess that means you will be staying at the temple? And since Kuwabara’s back I bet he’ll be all over Yukina.” Yusuke grinned cheekily. He prepared himself for a quick getaway by inching towards the doors.

“Keep making jokes Detective and you might be missing something dear to you.” Hiei threatened wit a low growl.

“Hey sorry Hiei, touchy subject I know. Hell, when are you going to tell her? I’m sure she wouldn’t hate you. She might even if I dare say it love you.” Yusuke feigned shock as Kurama suppressed the urge to laugh.

“As a matter of fact Yusuke, I will spend my vacation if you will call it at Kurama’s place. Which is also your place if I’m not mistaken? How does that sound.”

To say that Yusuke was shocked was an understatement. Oh no our young demon friend paled considerably and his eyes bulged out of his head. He totally forgot about that little tidbit of information. He would be spending the next month, possibly months, living with a horny fire demon trying to get into his fox’s pants. Wait they already had this conversation so things were back to normal. But still the thought with living in the same place with Hiei so near to his fox was still a bit unnerving.

“Do not worry Detective as I have stated before the fox is yours to deal with. I am an honor bound demon. As it is, I will respect your dominance. Kurama has chosen his mate and I respect that. Though this will be the only warning I will give you, if you hurt him in any manner; I will torture you then kill you. Got that.”

“You don’t have to worry your pretty spiky hair, Hiei. That will never happen; he has my heart under lock and key. If he wishes he can end it and I will go my separate way. He owns me.” Yusuke said pulling the fox closer to his body and kissing him briefly on the lips.

“So why don’t we finish this little chat back in Ningenkai. Mukuro will be returning shortly. She was even nice enough to create portals for us near the temple.” Hiei replied.

Yusuke quickly picked up Kurama in his arms bridal-style, carried him out the door (much to Kurama’s chagrin), and proceeded out of the creepy fortress. They walked at a moderate pace keeping their energy signals to a dim so as not to attract attention. As they reached the edge of Mukuro’s lair, a portal opened.

“This one will take you back to your house.” Hiei explained. He waited patiently as his friends walked towards the swirling oval sphere.

“You’re not joining us?” Yusuke asked his eyebrow rose in question.

“No, I have to retrieve the oaf from Genkai’s to make sure Yukina is in one piece.” Hiei said shortly.

Kurama and Yusuke shared a glance before laughing. Hiei’s aura radiated at a dangerous level and the two of them vanished into the portal before streams of black energy headed their way.
