Hiei's Harem - Pt 11 - Asserting

I know this one will seem long with a lot of dialog, but there's a Lemon in it that should keep you happy. I'm sure you've been waiting for this, Tachi. :o) It took me most of the day to trype it up. I'll check it for mistakes later.

Scene 14 ---------------- Later That Afternoon


* As soon as the rain stopped Hiei had led his females out of the cave. As they quickly made their way through the remainder of this Territory he had discovered that it just takes a burst of his energy to send the local pack of Rat demons cowering away. So for the past couple hours their journey has been unhindered. Hiei stops near the border of the last Territory he’ll have to cross before he reaches his Ravine.


Hiei- We’ll stop here for the night.


* The females watch him move away toward the bank of the river that’s not too far away. As he bends down to get a handful of water to drink he feels a familiar presence appear.


Hiei- Shironji.


* The Ninjini materializes in the air beside him.


Shironji- Master.

Hiei- I know I’m late, but we were caught up in that d--- storm all night and half the morning.

Shironji- Hai, that was a bad one.


* Hiei finishes quinching his thirst and shakes his hand dry. Tachimaru makes her way closer to listen as inconspictuously as she can.


Hiei- So how are things there?

Shironji- Lightning started a small brushfire in the canyon, but your pack and a group from the village worked well to put it out.


* Hiei looks at Shironji.


Hiei- What about Gamaru?

Shironji- The Kitsune gave him something to keep him sedated until you return. She and the others think that it’ll just take some of your energy to snap him out of this.

Hiei- What of his son?

Shironji- His older brother is doing most of the caregiving.. Oh, and I have a message for you from your daughter.

Hiei- River?


* Hiei cocks an eyebrow at him.


Shironji- Hai. She demanded that I come tell you to.. uhmm.. Quote ‘Get your butt back home’.. She really misses you. She’s so much like you that it’s scary.


* Hiei takes a deep breath as he settles down to sit and look into the fast-moving river.


Hiei- I have one more Territory to go through before I reach the village.


* He glances over his shoulder toward the Tigress, then looks at Shironji again.


Hiei- Tell River and the others that I’ll try to be home by sunset tomorrow.


* Shironji looks toward the females.


Shironji- You lost the one that was sick?

Hiei- Not really.. She just decided to be stubborn and return to her own Territory with her daughter.

Shironji- So you released them?

Hiei- No.. We had a.. disagreement.. She threatened my pack.


* Shironji rubs his chin.


Shironji- I see.. Well, Master, you are starting to collect quite a lot of females..

Hiei- Hn. Don’t remind me.

Shironji- You won’t be able to prevent all fights that might break out amongst them.. The females vie for dominance in a pack as much as males.

Hiei- I wouldn’t have sent Sylk away if it had been any other time.. I’m confident in the training I’ve given ‘Rista and the others.. But she’s not in any condition to fight right now after just having the twins.

Shironji- Understandable. I’ll get back there and give them your report.


* Before the Ninjini can vanish Hiei grabs ahold of his tail.


Hiei- Tell Hab to have his workers build a large hut.. Near the river but not too close to the plant barrier.

Shironji- For these four?

Hiei- Hn.

Shironji- As you wish, Master.


* Shironji dips his head and disappears. Hiei half glances toward Tachimaru.


Hiei- Did you get all of that, Tiger?


* Tachi starts to turn and go back to the others. Hiei sighs.


Hiei- Come join me, Tachimaru.


* She hesitates then turns and obeys. As she sits down beside him they notice a small herd of three-eyed deer approach the opposite bank cautiously. Tachimaru smirks.


Tachimaru- Hey, Loreen.


* The Leopardess looks toward them, sees the deer, and hurries over. Hiei watches her look up and down the river until she spots a tree that leans nearly halfway across it. Before Hiei can say anything Loreen is already climbing the tree.


Hiei- Don’t go too far over there, Cat! It’s another Territory!


* As Loreen leaps and lands easily on the far bank the deer turn and flee with her giving chase. Hiei shakes his head.


Hiei- D---.

Tachimaru- Loreen enjoys hunting.. She has ever since I’ve known her.


* Hiei looks at Tachi.


Hiei- And what about you?


* The Tigress purrs and twitches her tail.


Tachimaru- I’m more of an.. ambush hunter.

Hiei- Ambush, huh?

Tachimaru- Yeah.. I mask my energy and.. sneak up on my prey.


* Hiei’s eyes widen when the Tigress seems to disappear right before his eyes. He is about to open his jagan when he feels soft lips capture his own. Tachi fades back into view, now straddling his lap.


Hiei- Hn.. Well, it looks like you’ve caught me.

Tachimaru- You claim to honor your words. Right?

Hiei- Hn. If at all possible.

Tachimaru- You did say this morning that I was next.. I know you meant me.


* Hiei raises his hands to her sides. Although she’s rather on the large side, like D’Tara, unlike his Hyena hybrid mate Tachi is more lean and muscled.


Hiei- Hn. I suppose I did.. Do you think you’re ready?


* Tachimaru gives a purring chuckle, her tail raises to weave in slow anticipation behind her.


Tachimaru- I’m a b----, but I don’t go around placing myself in the lap of every male I see.


* Hiei lifts his eyes to meet her Tiger eyes with a smirk.


Hiei- Sylk did well in choosing her pack. I’m impressed with the skills you’ve all shown so far.


* Tachimaru shrugs.


Tachimaru- It wasn’t Sylk that put us together. It was her Father.. He was the Alpha. I was one of his..


* Hiei raises his lips to quiet her from finishing that thought. When he pulls back Tachi sighs.


Tachimaru- When her mate, Tsetsuyu, killed her Father I then changed hands to him. Just like I changed into your hands..

Hiei- I didn’t kill that b------ to claim any of you.. I killed him because of.. these.


* He moves one of his hands around to lay on Tachimaru’s middle. The Tigress lowers her eyes.


Tachimaru- When Tset passed Sylk made sure to keep whoever was left after that masacre together.. She trained us to be stronger. We had to be since most of our males from the pack were dead.

Hiei- Then how is it that she resents my claim of her, but the rest of you don’t?


* Tachi tilts her head and twitches one of her rounded ears.


Tachimaru- Sylk loved Tsetsuyu.. He was a very good Alpha.. Panthers don’t give their loyalty lightly.. Tset would.. use us.. Loreen and I both belonged to him..

Hiei- He marked you?

Tachimaru- No. Like I said, he was devoted to Sylk. Panthers tend to mate for life once they do find a worthy mate. Sylk still hasn’t decided to accept you.. That may take a while.


* Hiei looks away with a scowl.


Hiei- I don’t give my trust out easily, either.

Tachimaru- Then your mates back in the ravine must be special.

Hiei- They’re mine.. My responsibility to take care of.. It wasn’t a position I planned on taking.

Tachimaru- Hmm. A lot of things seem to be happening to you like that.


* Hiei looks back up at her. He can feel his energy already beginning to reach out for hers.


Hiei- Hn.. Lately it seems that I’ve become the Fates’ personal whipping boy.. How is it that you seem to know so much?

Tachimaru- It’s another skill.. I become very attuned to anyone I.. touch.


* Tachimaru lifts one of her hands to work it inside his cloak. She purrs when she remembers that he’d left his pants back at the cave.


Tachimaru- It’s like a sixth sense.

Hiei- That’ll come in.. handy.


* Tachi’s smile grows more seductive as she feels the shift in his mood.


Tachimaru- I pledge all of my skills to your.. service, Master.


* She leans and begins to kiss him again. This time the Koorime is very aware of her seduction, the desires that her soft hands begin to stir to life, the feeling of his energy swirling around them. With calm control he accepts what he has to do completely and pulls back.


Hiei- You’re ready to be claimed.

Tachimaru- I’m already yours, sir.


* Hiei watches her unfasten the thin, short white yukata she’s wearing. True to her words, she reads Hiei’s thoughts. The Tigress moves back off of his lap to position herself on all fours beside him. Hiei watches her swaying tail a moment, then catches it. He uses it like a rope to pull her around gently so he can raise up to mount her. Tachimaru growls affectionately and looks back at him over her shoulder when he begins to work himself into her slowly.


Tachimaru- Uhhmm.. yes, I.. I like it.. slow.

Hiei- I can’t make any.. promise on.. keeping it to this.. pace.

Tachimaru- It’s okay.. I can handle you, Master.


* Hiei leans forward to bury his face against her neck. He keeps one hand securely around her waist for balance as his thrusts begin to quicken. His other hand moves up to get a handful of her bushy, striped hair. He finds it to be more mane-like, similar to D’Tara’s. Tachimaru’s movements match his perfectly, encouraging him to drive deeper and harder. Without giving his instincts any resistance, Hiei finds his completion and follows through calmly to finalize his claim on the Tigress by finding his mark on her neck. Then he rolls them both onto their sides, keeping her spooned tightly against him. He finds the faint striping, that’s barely visible under her orangish-tan skin, to be suddenly very fascinating. He begins to trace them with his tongue slowly. Tachimaru growls a bit, amazed that he understands this extended ritual that is common to her species. Clasping her close to him so that she knows that she belongs to him. She leans to look over her shoulder at him.


Tachimaru- Is one of your other mates a Tiger?

Hiei- No.. Why?

Tachimaru- This thing that you’re doing..

Hiei- It’s called bonding, cat.

Tachimaru- Hai. It’s exactly what male Tiger demons do to insure their mates know they belong to him.

Hiei- Hn.. Well, I call it.. snuggling.

Tachimaru- Ahh, I wouldn’t have taken you to be the.. snuggly type.

Hiei- Depends on who I’ve got my cock in.. I guess I picked it up from those d--- Lynx brothers I also own.. Now rest. We might have another round or two.. in a bit.


* Tachimaru chuckles. Hiei returns to his licking.


Tachimaru- I hope that’s.. one of your promises.

Hiei- Hn.


* He grunts and buries his face in her thick mane. Tachimaru relaxes and closes her eyes to enjoy the feel of his energy dominating hers.
