Abroad

Chapter 2

A/N: I’d like to take a moment to thank my reviewer. I actually did not think anyone would review this story as it is a rather…odd pairing to say the least. I’m so happy at least one person is though!

SanctumSyte – Thank you for saying it is very original. The though struck me one day while I was reading Artemis Fowl fanfictions and all of the pairings/ideas were all basically the same. I thought to myself ‘Artemis really needs someone as smart as him so he won’t get bored. Holly’s great and all, but they have nothing in common’ then I realized that Artemis and Kurama have so much in common (you know, aside from the whole Kurama’s a demon thing) that it could work Then I realized the story lines could be blended together if I worked carefully. So yeah, here we are! Also, you inspired me to keep writing, so this story is no dedicated to you! ^^

Disclaimer: I do not own the Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, or Artemis Fowl fandoms nor do I make money from this

Shuichi didn’t show up until halfway through the school day. His hair was slick from a shower, and his clothes had wrinkles in them; his left eye was sporting a nice bruise and judging by the way he was walking, it wasn’t the only thing that was bruised. Artemis could tell that at least three ribs on his left side had to be cracked.

“You look like you got hit by a truck.” Artemis commented when the red head sat next to him.

The boy sent him a smile, “Got into a fight at work. Nothing serious.” He then added with a sly look in his eyes, “You look like you had a long night? You bring a girl back to your room?”

At this, the Irish boy blushed, “N-no!” For maybe the third or fourth time in his life, he was flustered.

“Are you blushing?” Kurama asked with a smirk, “You’ve never gotten laid, have you?”

“I, well, that is…” Artemis thought about Holly; about the kiss they shared. “No. I haven’t.” He then said with downcast eyes, “I’m only 17; it’s not like it’s important right now.”

The fox pondered the other boy’s words before shrugging. “To some it is more important than it is to others. I, myself, am rather indifferent on the subject.” Smirking, he added, “A growing boy has needs though.”

“Minamino-san, Fowl-san. I trust you are paying attention?” The teacher said, glaring at the two boys.

The two ended their discussion, Artemis still blushing. The Irish teen could not even look at his friend for the rest of the day. When walking home with the two, Butler notice this and sighed.

“What happened?” He asked.

Once more, Artemis’ cheeks turned red. “Nothing. Just an…embarrassing conversation. Nothing to concern yourself with.” He then sighed and stuck his hands in his pockets. “Shuichi, I’ve been meaning to ask…what is your job? Your wounds look pretty serious.” Though not as serious as they had been, the youth noted. His visible bruise was almost nonexistent now and he was walking fine despite the fact that earlier he was having trouble due to his ribs.

“I work as a type of detective,” Kurama said awkwardly, “Nothing serious. Just missing cats and such.”

Artemis nodded. “Yes. Sounds rather boring.” He then said slyly, “So how big was the cat who beat you up?”

Kurama shrugged with a small smile on his face. “It is unimportant.”

“Shuichi! What’s up!” Yusuke yelled out, running to catch up with the group. “Hey, Artemis, right?” The boy asked once he reached them. “Shuichi talks…very highly about you.” He paused, then smirked, “So does Hiei.” He added as an afterthought.

Artemis’ cheeks turned slightly pink. “Oh? Well I’m sure it’s all good.” Suddenly, the boy’s phone rang and he reached in his pocket and answered it. “Hello?” He spoke in English, “Yes mother…no, he did not tell me…mother, that is not necessary………Thank you mother…18 mother……Yes I know mother……no you do not need to fly here; I’m certain I can handle one birthday on my own…Thank you mother……there is no need to send anything…………I love you too,” He clicked shut his phone and found that both the Japanese boy’s were staring at him. “Yes?”

“It’s your birthday?” Kurama asked, cocking his head to the side. “How come you did not tell us?”

“Birthday?” Yusuke smirked. “That’s what you were saying. Never was good in English…I thought you were talking about flying pandas! We have to through a party.” He said with a mischievous look in his eyes.

Kurama sighed and rubbed his temple. “Yusuke will do anything to throw a party, I’m afraid.”

“I…haven’t had a party since I was a child…” He was frozen, his eyes wide. He didn’t know the first thing about parties; he wasn’t a typical teenager.

“I must also insist we do not.” Butler spoke from behind the group.

“It’ll be fun! Don’t stress. I’ll do everything. First, we gotta get some alcohol. Since none of us are old enough…I’ll just snatch some from my mom. You guys drink Sake?”

“My birthday isn’t until Saturday.” Artemis said, holding his hands up in defense. “If you insist on having a party, we should plan some more stuff out then booze and getting drunk.” He said nervously.

“This is true…besides; we can’t have a party with booze at Shuichi’s place. We should get a hotel room or two.” Yusuke put an arm around the Irish boy’s shoulder. “Come on, let’s go to the arcade and plan this out.”

Artemis wasn’t the type of teenager who liked to go out in public to ‘hang out’ with people his own age. He preferred the indoors on his computer, learning all there was to learn about every subject known to man. With an IQ of 198(1) it was quite hard, he found, to learn anything more then what he knew, however.

Today, though, he was learning. The subject was teenagers. They were loud and rowdy, talking in a Japanese slang that he could not understand. They dressed strangely, acted even stranger, and were intent on flirting – if you could call it that – with anyone they saw. In Ireland, he never would be caught dead hanging out with peers his own age, so he was unused to the situation he found himself in now.

“I love your eyes,” A girl said next to him. “Do you wear contacts? It’s a little odd to see someone with two different colored eyes.”

“I…their natural.” He said with a blush, trying to ignore her.

She was cute; black hair striped with hot pink, warm brown eyes; curves in all the right places. “So, you don’t look Japanese…?”

“Irish.” He spoke, looking to Kurama, who was holding back a smirk. “Can I help you with something?” His voice came out rude, but he didn’t care; she was confusing and bothering him.

She, however, seemed determined and brushed off his disrespect. “My name is Naomi.”

He turned his eyes towards her, “Artemis.”

She smiled brightly, “Oh, how cute!”

Finally, taking pity on the nervous boy, Kurama walked over to the pair. “Sorry, Naomi-chan. Artemis doesn’t…swing your way.”

“What?” Artemis asked in a panicked voice.

Naomi narrowed her eyes, “Are you sure Shuichi-kun?”

He nodded and wrapped his arms around Artemis from behind the black haired boy. “Yes, I’m quite sure,” His voice was a purr and he leaned closer to the black haired youth. “Sorry for your loss Naomi-chan. Maybe you can try another boy.” She frowned, looking at the two suspiciously, before she lost interest and moved on.

Artemis shrugged off the arm and glared at the other boy. “Why did you do that?” he asked with a puzzled look on his face. “Now the whole school is going to think I’m gay.”

“This isn’t Ireland; no one here cares. Besides, you’ve never thought about a male before?” The red head asked as casually as he could, sitting next to his new friend.

With wide eyes, the child prodigy found himself at a loss for words. “I…well…no…”

Kurama shrugged, then added with sly eyes, “That’s too bad; you’d make a great bottom.”

OOOOOO

Artemis sat nervously in front of his computer screen. He looked to his door once more to make sure it was locked; it was. “Computer?” He asked in a tentative voice.

“Yes, Master Fowl?”

He paused and looked to his door, checking the lock once more. In a whispered voice, he asked “Search internet. Keywords: Bottom and homosexual.”

After a second, the computer spoke. “Results found. Number one result Urabandictonary.com.”

“Open website. Read article.” He gulped audibly and prayed that the demon in the next room could not hear; he would never live it down.

“1) Someone who prefers to take a more submissive role in sexual situations. This definition pertains to the B/D/S/M (Bondage and Domination, Domination and Submission, Sado-Masochism) scene. 2) A homosexual male who either a) enjoys receiving anal penetration or b) is actively involved in being anally penetrated.”

A blush as red as Kurama’s hair engulfed Artemis’ face. Kurama wanted to…do that to him? Maybe he was mistaken and Kurama merely suggested that he try it with someone else. He growled in frustration and ran his hands through his hair, surprised that he actually found the idea exciting. “Computer?” He voice was so soft; the computer could barely register it.

“Yes Master Fowl?”

“Search Google images. Keywords: Gay intercourse…turn safe search off.”

Images ran across the screen and Artemis found himself unable to turn away. Pictures of men in the act of pleasing each other, touching each other ran across his eyes and he found himself growing hard at the site of it; something he had rarely ever experienced. He groaned low in his throat then froze, looking to his door. Locked.

Slowly, he reached for the button to his pants and opened them, letting his manhood bounce free of its prison. He gripped himself firmly and groaned again; he bit his lip. He had never pleased himself before. Tentatively, he started to stroke up and down, resisting the urge to cry out. Against his will, he started to imagine Kurama above him, kissing him, touching him. It was all Artemis needed; never being touched before had made him too sensitive. He cam with a hard thrust into his hand, a muffled cry of ‘Kurama’ spilling forth from his lips. He sat in his computer chair for a few minutes panting before he blushed bright red once again. ‘How good is demon hearing?’ Was his panicked thought. ‘Maybe I can get Holly to wipe his memory…’

Artemis didn’t know it, but he had every right to be afraid. Kurama laid awake in his bed, and erection crying at him to be touched. He had been listening to the boy since he heard him search his computer for the definition of bottom. Then listening to him moan was too much, his dick swelling. Finally, when he heard his name – not the name his mother called him – roll from the boy’s lips as he cam, he let out a groan of his own.

Finally, Kurama decided to take care of himself. He couldn’t wait to see Artemis in the morning; things had just changed.

OOOOOO

Butler sighed, taking a long sip from his green tea. He couldn’t sleep – though it didn’t bother im since he rarely did anyway. It still felt strange to him, this house. Artemis had informed him of Kurama’s situation – what little he knew of it anyway – and it only made the bodyguard more feverous. He had fought fairies and a troll though, and didn’t see the difference.

“Can’t sleep?” Shiori asked from the doorway to the kitchen. She walked over to him and offered a small smile. “I understand. New home. New life. It’s much to adjust to.”

He nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”

Again, she gave him a warm smile. “Please, call me Shiori.”

Butler blushed. “Thank you, Shiori…” He was at a loss for words. She was a very beautiful woman. Her hair was long; a bluish black color and her eyes were a warm brown. “Would you like some tea?”

The woman nodded. “Don’t worry yourself, Butler-san. I can get it.” She hurried to stand as he moved to get it for her, but she tripped over her chair. Butler was there in an instant to catch her and their eyes locked together. “Thank you,” She said in a whispered voice, a blush on his face.

Slowly, without thought, Butler lowered his lips to her and she tilted her chin to allow him. Their mouths connected gently and Butler found himself drawn to the woman more than he had ever been drawn to anyone.

Butler had always found that he needed female company. He was drawn to the allure of the opposite sex’s body, mind, and personality. He had sex will warm, willing bodies before Artemis had been born and once the child prodigy came into the world, he thought of nothing other than his young charge who he viewed as a son. Now, he found that he rather missed sharing a connection with a female.

“Shiori, do you think this is wise?” The bodyguard asked as they parted.

She answered by kissing him once again. “I don’t know…but if we don’t try, we would always regret –”

He cut her off by catching her lips. He knew he was supposed to marry an assassin who was deemed worthy by his old sensei; but he found he didn’t care. He was more of a love kind of man anyway.

OOOOOO

A/N: Sorry for the abrupt ending. I thought it was a great place to do wrap things up though. I know this chapter is short, but the next one is going to be really, really good! I promise!
