Chapter 16

He had no idea why his back felt stiff let alone why he could not move his legs or arms. First, he felt panic and then anger that he let himself get caught. He tried to free his right arm but whatever had him pinned only held him tighter, making him grow even more annoyed. He opened his eye briefly to take in his surroundings and saw a bush of red hair.

‘What the fuck?’ He thought then he remembered. ‘Oh yeah, never made it upstairs did we?’ He chuckled and tried once more to free himself but the person would not let up.

“Kurama…fox…foxy…” Yusuke whispered his mate’s name to rouse him but Kurama didn’t budge. He nuzzled his face in the crook of Yusuke’s neck and chirred. Yusuke laughed, his chest vibrating with his mirth. “Fox, as much as I love cuddling with you my back is killing me, can we please go upstairs?”

“If I move from this spot it is only by you, Koi.” Kurama replied half sleep and half awake.

Yusuke wriggled his arms free from the body bind his mate had on him. Kurama smirked in his half awareness. As he tried to free his legs, his fox wrapped his tightly around his lover’s making Yusuke groan in frustration.

“Fox if I am to take us to our room how can I when you won’t let up?” He asked as he poked his lover’s side playfully.

“I never said I would make it easy for you love.” Kurama now fully awake rested his chin on Yusuke’s chest, his green eyes shining with his happiness.

“Well then fine, put my back out of commission see if I care.” Yusuke huffed playfully.

“I shall see to that and more love.” Kurama grinned evilly as he rose fluidly off his mate’s body and stretched. His body reminded Yusuke of a cat waking from a nap.

“Glad to see your up.” A gruff voice said beside them.

“Morning to you too, Mr. Sunshine. Sleep well?” Yusuke asked Kuwabara as he pulled himself into a sitting position.

“Oh yeah, I slept like a lamb.” Kuwabara replied with a deadpanned voice. “Say, what’s for breakfast I’m starving.”

“Get your ass up and go fix yourself something if your hungry, lazy bum.” Yusuke got up from the couch and headed towards the kitchen.

“Well that would have been rude seeing as its Kurama’s house. I didn’t want to eat something he might have wanted, Urameshi.” Kuwabara got to his feet as well following behind his friend.

Kurama remained reclining on the couch, enjoying the silence of the new morning until he heard a crash and something akin to a yelp and scream. He groaned and followed the noise. He found his mate over the sink nursing what looked to be a burn and Kuwabara cleaning up the spilled grease from the floor.

“Oh dear, what have you done to yourself now love. You were only in here for what, two minutes. How did you manage to injure yourself?”

“It wasn’t me, the grease decided to attack me! Ask Kuwabara, he saw.” Yusuke exclaimed as he turned off the cold water. “I poured it into the pan when it jumped out and burned me.”

Kurama turned to Kuwabara who shrugged and continued to clean the grease. He turned back to look at Yusuke who looked a bit put out.

“Yusuke, come with me. Kuwa-chan you think you can handle making your own breakfast?”

“Yeah, sure. You guys want anything?”

“That would be great Kazuma, thank you.”

Kurama led his mate upstairs and to their bathroom. He shut the door, locked it and sat his lover on the side of the bathtub. He then proceeded to run the tap and slowly undressed his mate. Yusuke allowed himself to be undressed and smiled when Kurama caressed his chest lovingly and kissed his lips softly. Kurama went back to the tap to test the water and found it to his liking and turned it off when it filled the bath.

“Hop in Koi, you need to relax.” Kurama purred as he lathered up a washcloth and began to bathe his lover. “You, my love are tensed, I can feel it. And don’t deny it, I know you Yusuke. Something is bothering you; now tell me what’s on your mind.”

Yusuke rested his head against the wall of the tub and closed his eyes as his body was cleansed and worshipped by his mate. It was true something was bothering him but how could he tell his fox his fears? It would only make his lover worry more and that’s the last thing his mate needed.

“I will tell you if you join me.” Yusuke said as he cracked open one of his chocolate eyes. He smiled as his mate stood from his kneeling position to remove the hospital gown he still wore from the ningen hospital and Mukuro’s place. The little one-piece frock fell effortlessly to the floor. Kurama stood naked before his mate, his red hair making his all ready pale form look even more ethereal. He was sexy as hell and he was all Yusuke’s.
“As you wish, my love.” Kurama replied with a smirk. He stepped into the warm water facing his lover. He sat with his legs on either side of Yusuke’s. “Now, tell me what is on your mind?” He grabbed the forgotten cloth and washed Yusuke’s outstretched arm as he waited for his mate to speak.

Yusuke sighed through his nose and looked intently into his mate’s eyes. They were bright and filled with something new. Something he knew he saw before but couldn’t place it. It made him happy to see that new emotion and he had a feeling he knew what the cause was. The arm that wasn’t preoccupied he reached out and smoothed his hand over his lover’s flat stomach. There. He could still feel the tiny spark. It was strong and he knew that without a doubt he was going to be a father. And that scared him.

“Kurama, you know how much I love you, right?” Yusuke asked as he still stroked the spot where the spark was.

“Yes, I know how much you love me.” Kurama replied, he dropped the cloth into the water and held both his hands over his lover’s where his rested on his stomach.

“Damn it fox, we’re going to be parents. Parents! Aren’t you scared, nervous, baffled?”

Kurama closed his eyes and he too felt the tiny life. He knew his mate was scared. Hell, he was scared but something told him he shouldn’t be, that this was a blessing and he would cherish it to its fullest.

“Yes Yusuke. I am scared. I was scared to tell you once I saw the plus sign on the pregnancy test the girls got me as a gag joke. I was scared when I knew that I was pregnant when I was at Mukuro’s and I heard her speaking to her servants. Your reaction was what scared me the most. I didn’t know if you wanted children and if you didn’t what I would have done to…”

“Don’t you dare finish that sentence!” Yusuke growled, his eyes glowing red for a second. He regained his calm and stared intently at his mate. “No matter what my reaction would have been, I would never, NEVER allow you to even consider what you were going to say. I wouldn’t have even mentioned that as an option. This,” Yusuke emphasized as he pressed his hand firmly to Kurama’s belly, “this is your gift to me ‘Rama. This is our love made into a physical being. Our baby. Gods, just saying it is hard to believe.” Yusuke pulled his mate closer to his body, placing Kurama’s body against his chest. “Kurama you are my life now. This child is our life now nothing can break that. I love you, and I love you too, you little monster.” Yusuke cooed.

“Hey, don’t call our child a monster. If it comes out like that, it’s your fault.” Kurama chuckled and nestled himself closer in his mate’s embrace. “Yusuke, what do you think we’re having?”

“Hm, oh a boy no doubt, do you feel how strong he is. He’s going to be a power house just like his fathers.” Yusuke grinned goofily as he kissed his mate’s hair.
“But it could be a girl, love. Just as strong and beautiful. I dare say we will have to fight off suitors for her hand.”

Yusuke growled and held his mate protectively. “No one will come near our daughter. No one is good enough for her.”

“Yes love, she will be our princess and nothing will come to harm her innocence.”

“Kurama?”

“Yes love?”

“Do you think I will be a good dad?”

Kurama turned fully in his lover’s embrace and searched his face. He could see fear, doubt, and most of all failure. His mate’s father failed him and left his mother to raise Yusuke all alone. He could see Yusuke was feeling that he too would follow the same path and kissed his lips passionately. He wanted to erase all those feelings from his mate.

“Yusuke, never doubt yourself. You are not your father. You are better because you stuck around when things got tough; you were there when your mother needed you most. Even though she was not always there, you were. I haven’t a doubt that you will do that to our child let alone to me. You my love are the bravest, strongest, sexiest demon to walk this earth. Never think that way again.” Kurama kissed his lips once more before sinking into the warmth.

Yusuke held his mate, enjoying the warmth from both the water and his mate’s presence. He loved his fox and no matter what it was, he knew he would love the child they created. He smiled to himself and whispered, ‘I’m a daddy'. Kurama smiled too.


Yusuke emerged from the closet as he tried to find something to throw on. Kurama relaxed on his bed watching his mate toss his clothes around. A pair of socks from god knows where landed on his head and he scowled. They had just come from eating a good breakfast prepared by Kuwabara. Who knew the orange-haired youth liked to cook? His dish of the day was omelets with a hint of rice and grilled sausage. Kurama enjoyed the meal and asked if he could borrow the recipe. Now the two demons retired to their bedroom after seeing Kuwabara out to head home. Hiei went to the Temple for the day to check up on his sister, leaving the two mates alone, finally.

“Yusuke if you don’t stop playing ring toss with your clothes I’m going to tie you down.” Kurama threatened as he plucked another piece of clothing from his body.

“Is that so, Fox?” Yusuke raised an eyebrow in challenge.

“Yes, that is so Yusuke. What are you looking for anyway? We have no where to go or anything.”

“Yes we do, well I do anyway.”

“Oh and where is that?” Kurama asked suspiciously, his eyes bleeding gold.

“Whoa, whoa not like that love. You see today is Saturday. Meaning my mom should be home.”

“She comes home on Saturdays?”

“Yeah that’s her break day from doing whatever it is she does. I can catch her today and tell her the good news.” Yusuke said as he found his black sweat pants and pulled them on. “I can see her facial expression. Boy she’s gonna have a cow.”

Kurama remained lying in the bed when he just understood what Yusuke planned to do. He sat straight up and appeared before his mate. Yusuke yelped and jumped back a bit.

“What the hell Kurama. You scared the shit outta me. What’s wrong?”

“My mother.”

“Yes, Shiori is your mother. Speaking of which I need to see how she’s doing. We never told her that you’re better, well in better condition.” Yusuke smirked as he ducked the punch aimed as his arm.

“This is no joking matter Yusuke. My mother. She doesn’t know anything. Anything! If I tell her this, I’m going to have to tell her about my demon heritage and that I’m well…that I’m with a man.”

“Wow, she doesn’t know about your…preferences. Tell you what we should do.” Yusuke pulled his mate to sit beside him on their bed. “Why don’t I get my mom and bring her here and you call Shiori. That way we can break the ice to them both. My mom all ready knows about my demon stuff and blah blah. Well not my sexuality but who cares, look who she hangs with.” Yusuke chuckled and held his stoic mate close.

“That is all well and good for you Yusuke but my mother…how can I tell her that her only son, the son she had high hopes for, is a demon and loves males and is carrying said male’s child. Can you imagine how she will react? I couldn’t bear the guilt or disappointment in her eyes.”

“Kurama, first off, shut up.” Kurama blinked several times at his mate’s tone of voice. “I don’t give a damn if no one approves of our union. Nothing and I mean nothing will make me relinquish my hold on you. And if your mother can’t accept that our love is genuine then pardon my French but fuck her. I love you and only you. I know how much your mother means to you, but when it comes down to it, who willyou choose her or me?”

Kurama had tears in his eyes. He knew what Yusuke was saying was the truth. He was a grown man in ningen years and a demon with thousand plus years. He would choose his mate over any and everyone if it came down to it. It was just that his mother, Shiori, a ningen woman showed him what it was like to love and be loved. And without her guidance, Kurama would not be the person he is today. Her approval was welcomed but not an important factor. He had Yusuke and their unborn child. His family was complete.

“I would choose you, Koi. You are my family now. We are a family now.” He held his stomach and smiled. “Thank you love, for everything.” He kissed Yusuke’s lips tenderly before his mate took control.

Without much effort, Yusuke had Kurama pinned underneath him, his breath coming in short pants and his face flushed with desire. He could smell the pheromones his fox was producing and felt his demon stir within. His eyes bleed red and he could feel his body raging to pleasure his mate. Kurama tilted his head to the side, inviting his mate to take control. Yusuke growled and latched onto his mate’s neck laving the sensitive spot where he marked him. Kurama moaned softly as his neck was made loved to. He wanted more, needed more.

“Yusuke…please…” he whined as he spread his legs apart. Yusuke quickly filled that space and undid the robe hiding his beautiful fox’s body from him. He tossed the robe with the other piles of clothing around the room and allowed his eyes to drink up every part of Kurama’s body. Kurama shivered under his mate’s gaze and whined again. “Please…Yusuke…”

Yusuke silenced those pleading whines with a kiss. He loved the way his fox tasted; he could never get enough of him. He wanted more and parted the fox’s lips, plundering his mouth. His hands roved over the pale body underneath him, playing with his pink nipples until they hardened under his talented fingers. Kurama pulled his mouth away as he arched his back. He was so sensitive now that he became pregnant. Yusuke took that to his advantage and suckled the left nipple while his right hand continued a path to his mate’s backside. He found the spot and softly tickled where Kurama’s tails would be. Kurama’s eyes bulged and his body bowed. His breathy moans turning Yusuke on even more.

“That’s right ‘Rama, show me how much you want me. Tell me what you want me to mate. I am at your services.” Yusuke’s demonic voice spoke. His body full of his demon tattoos.

Kurama had a hard time breathing let alone telling his mate what he wanted him to do. He reached behind his back to stop the attack and brought that hand to his rock hard erection. “Fucking put that mouth to good use Urameshi.” Kurama hissed out as Yusuke’s hand started pumping him slowly. “Gods…Yusuke…stop teasing me and suck me off!”

“As you wish, my love.” Yusuke smirked as he lowered his body. He brought his face closer to his mate’s erection and stuck out his tongue, licking a trail from his scrotum to the tip of his cock. Kurama’s eyes fluttered close as his hands balled the blanket his was lying on. Yusuke did that again before he slowly and painfully took Kurama inch by inch into his mouth. Kurama held his breath as he sat himself up on his elbows to watch as his cock disappeared into his mate’s mouth. He couldn’t take it anymore. If Yusuke didn’t do something quick, he knew he would come too quickly. He tried to calm himself and enjoy what his mate doing to him.

Yusuke finally had all of Kurama inside his mouth. His eyes gazed from under his thick lashes as he waited for Kurama to look at him. Once Kurama had his breathing under control, he opened his eyes tentatively and peered down. What he saw nearly made him come. Yusuke's lust filled eyes gazed up at him, his cock was not in sight but in his lover’s mouth and it was hot. His Yusuke was fucking hot. Kurama groaned wantonly and fell back on to the bed. Yusuke took that as his cue to suck powerfully on the erection. Kurama’s moan never left his throat.

“Nnnhhh…right…ahhhhh…ohhhhh gods yes….Right there love….yessssss…” Kurama encouraged his lover as Yusuke licked the crown and fondled his balls at the same time. He could tell Kurama wouldn’t last long and wanted him to enjoy every last bit. Taking his left hand, he wrapped it around the base of his lover’s cock stilling his climax. Kurama growled pitifully as his climax was denied.

“Not yet love, I haven’t been in you since the day before and I think I deserve a treat.” Yusuke said as he slid off his pants and flung them somewhere in the room. He lifted his mate’s legs over his shoulders and lined up his erection with his mate’s and felt as his cock breached the unprepared hole. Kurama yelled in pain as he split open. He still felt pleasure but the pain in his ass was making that feeling just a memory.

“Dammit Yusuke at least prepare me first. Your cock isn’t that soft.” Kurama exclaimed as he reached into his hair and produced a seed. He used his ki to make the tiny plant grow. It produced a slick substance and he reached his hand out for Yusuke to use it.
Yusuke scooped up a good amount and slicked up two fingers, sliding them into his mate’s hole. Kurama nearly dropped the plant in his hand as he grabbed for his own hair and tugged. Yusuke hooked his fingers and found his prize. This time Kurama did drop the plant and arched off the bed his body broke out in sheen of sweat.

“I believe I found your sweet spot love. That’s put that to the test, shall we?” Yusuke said as he stroked the bundle of nerves again. Kurama swore if he screamed any louder the neighbors on the other side of the street would hear him. Yusuke inserted a third just to make sure his fox was ready. When he thought it enough, he reached for the forgotten plant, slicked up his cock and tried again. This time the tip of his erection went in smoothly and Kurama hissed from the intrusion. Slowly Yusuke worked his cock inside his lover until he was balls deep. He took the time to catch his breath and restrain from pounding his mate into the mattress.

“Hold on tight love, this may be a bumpy ride.” Yusuke warned as he pulled out and pushed back in quickly aiming for his lover’s prostate. Kurama cried out and tried to pull Yusuke closer to his body. Every thrust was on point, abusing his poor prostate and driving the fox crazy with pleasure.

“You like that fox, you like being underneath me…begging me to fuck you…tell me you love it” Yusuke demanded as he angled his thrusts and slowing down, drawing out their orgasm.

“Yes…love you…always love you bring us Koi…bring us…” Kurama chanted as his body hummed with pleasure. He was so close so very close.

Yusuke growled and bit into the mating mark, drawing blood and a strangled cry from his mate. He felt the warm essence coating his stomach and chest. He thrust a few more times until his orgasm took him over, his body convulsing at his mate’s body milked him dry. His arms held him steady so as not to collapse on his lover and took a deep shaky breath. Kurama’s green eyes were dark, a deep forest green with flecks of gold. He stared up at his lover and drew him into a passionate kiss. Yusuke complied and allowed Kurama control. He felt his heart rate slow and his demonic markings and aura recede.

“Kurama I swear I have no control when I’m around you. You see what you reduce me to.” Yusuke laughed as he rolled onto his sides. “Now we have to bath again.”

“Aww, Koi you say that like it’s a bad thing.” Kurama chirred and rested his head on Yusuke’s chest. “Love, thank you for everything.”

“Anything for you foxy. Just so you know, we’re still telling our folks. Now get up don’t want to be doing this all day.” Yusuke dodged the pillow thrown at him and ducked into the bathroom.

‘Sometimes I want to strangle that boy.’ Kurama mused as he followed his lover into the bathroom.
