Scene 26 ------------------------------------------- The Workroom

* When they reach a door, down a narrow hallway off of the main barroom, Kichiro pauses at one of the doors. When he motions to it and looks at Hiei, he has to nudge the koorime to break his attention from the cage. Having followed "downwind" of them the heatscent has garnered Hiei's full attention.

Kichiro- Remember this room number, Shi. It's the one you'll be using.

* Hiei glances up at the big number 12 on the door, then nods, and looks back at the cage.

Dasan- I think you better hurry, Boss... I'm about to jump this imp myself.

* In spite of the situation, Hiei curls his upper lip to show a hint of fang in amusement as the Imp begins bouncing around the small cage squawking indignant curses. Kichiro chuckles.

Kichiro- I got something else for you to do before we deal with the birdie, Dasan. Come on.

* When they enter the sparsely furnished room, the pimp waves toward the small table.

Kichiro- Set the cage down over there, Dasan. Then come over here.

* Kichiro gets ahold of Hiei's right arm and pulls him over toward the bed with him. Dasan sets the cage on the table, then goes over to join them. Kichiro is once more inspecting Hiei's wrapped right arm.

Dasan- What is it, Boss?
Kichiro- I need you to purge our Shi of the dark power under this ward...
Dasan- Another jagan?

* Kichiro feels Hiei's growing apprehension through their new "bond".

Kichiro- Relax, Shiyounin. You have me to protect you now.

* In the cage, the Imp settles to watch what's going on curiously.

Hiei- Uh, it.. it's not.. that... If you remove the Dragon... I will truly be.. empty...
Kichiro- Explain.

* Hiei hesitantly raises his eyes to meet Kichiro's.

Hiei- T-the Dragon and I... We are one... We.. m-merged... several years ago... Didn't you learn that when you...?

* Kichiro lays one of his hands on Hiei's head to quiet him, then closes his eyes to scan through the memories he'd collected from the koorime.

Kichiro- Ahh, yes... In that farce of a competition called the Dark Tournament.

* Hiei nods. Something inside him clenches when he now realizes for certain that Kichiro actually does know everything that he's gone through.

Hiei- (Quietly) Y-you do... know... everything...

* Kichiro nods then lifts a hand to touch his earring, 'Yes, Shiyounin. Seems that you have more to protect than just... them'. Kichiro glances his eyes upward. Hiei lowers his eyes.

Hiei- As long as I keep this ward on...
Kichiro- Then I'll have Dasan seal the ward. No argument on this, Shi.
Hiei- (Quietly) No, sir.
Kichiro- Dasan, seal the ward.

* Hiei lifts his eyes to watch the mage take his right arm. Dasan examines it for a couple moments.

Dasan- There's a great, dark power...

* Kichiro rolls his eyes and jackslaps Dasan.

Kichiro- We know that already, Dasan. Just seal the d--- ward so we can get to Birdie over there.

* Hiei looks toward the cage again. As Dasan begins his task, he meets eyes with the Imp. Dasan chants his spell quickly, then triggers it.

Dasan- Seal!

* Hiei looks back down at his arm as a thin black stripe winds its way over top of the white warding cloth. When it has covered the entire length Dasan nods and steps back.

Dasan- It's done, Boss.

* Hiei closes his eyes as he feels the Dragon squirm inside his being a few moments, it's hiss echoing through his mind until finally everything goes still. Hiei swallows.

Kichiro- Okay.
Imp- What have you done to Hiei?!

* Dasan looks toward the Imp shaking his head.

Dasan- There he goes asking about that Hiyo guy...
Kichiro- Birdie's just stressed, Das. Pay him no mind. You happen to have one of those sealing collars on you?

* Dasan turns to look up at Kichiro. Hiei does as well, eyes widening.

Dasan- Sealing... Oh, you mean one of these...?

* The mage fishes a strip of black leather out of one of the pockets in his baggie pants. Kichiro nods.

Kichiro- Prepare it quickly.

* As Dasan takes the collar over to lay it on the bed and begin, Kichiro looks down at Hiei.

Kichiro- Relax in that chair while we deal with your new friend, Shi.

* Hiei looks up at Kichiro puzzled.

Hiei- He's no...
Kichiro- You can't lie to me, Mutt. I won't tolerate that.

* Kichiro cuffs Hiei firmly.

Kichiro- Now do what I told you!

* Hiei cowers back some away from Kichiro's impatience. Kichiro gathers himself, willing himself to ignore the growing "aroma" in the small room. Hiei moves to the indicated chair and sits. He turns his red eyes back to the cage, a feeling of dread unsettling him. Kichiro decides to distract Hiei from this so he moves to place himself between the koorime and the Imp.

Kichiro- I bought Dasan from our old friend, Satjiyu...

* The bird Imp squawks loudly.

Imp- What the h---?!
Kichiro- He taught Dasan all the ancient seals and spells that he uses... I'm sure you recognize what that is...

* Kichiro motions toward the bed where Dasan is finishing up with the collar. Hiei slowly raises a hand to his neck.

Kichiro- No, Firebug. This one's not for you...
Dasan- It's ready, Boss.

* Before Hiei can comment Kichiro places a hand on his head heavily again.

Kichiro- Silence. Just watch.

* Kichiro turns and moves to look into the cage, his red jagan open and glowing. The orb catches the Imp's attention before it even realizes what's going on. Hiei sighs quietly as he watches the bird imp's body stop swaying, as it was anxiously doing. Hiei knows what will happen now and looks away. Kichiro opens the cage door and pulls the unresisting Imp out by the neck.

Kichiro- Take your true form, Birdie.

* Almost immediately the Imp obeys with a poof. Hiei looks back up to find his suspecions confirmed. Shishiwakamaru stands naked before Kichiro, in his grasp. Dasan comes over and hands Kichiro the collar.

Kichiro- Stand still.

* Shishi remains frozen by Kichiro's jagan, unable to move as he places the black strap against his throat. With a snapping sound, the warding collar closes securely around Shishi's neck.

Kichiro- Birdie's collar, seal your host of his powers,.. but not his youkai.

* As soon as the words are spoken, even though Shishi can't move, he does feel the draining sensation that accompanies the spell Kichiro has just placed. Kichiro nods with a confident smirk.

Kichiro- You will stay put until you hear that door shut hard.

* Kichiro steps back a couple feet, half closes his jagan, and runs his eyes over the Banshee's skinny, but pleasantly proportioned body. The pimp demon nods again, then turns to look toward Hiei.

Kichiro- You know what to do,.. stud.

* Hiei now glares up at Kichiro.

Hiei- What?! No way in...!
Kichiro- You will stay here in this room until you've successfully bred our new Birdie friend.

* Hiei slowly stands and glances nervously toward Shishi, who is still standing motionless.

Kichiro- He's a rare male Banshee...
Hiei- I know what he is, d--- it! I have enough babies...
Kichiro- And if you want to return to... all of them... you'll do what I told you... Do you understand me?? Nod!

* Hiei feels the sincerity of his master's threat. Sadly, he lowers his eyes and nods slowly.

Kichiro- That's my good slut... Have fun. I'm going to ward the door, you know what that means. Let's go, Das-...

* When Kichiro turns away from Hiei he finds the mage over beside Shishi inhaling deeply. Kichiro curses, hurries over, and drags the aroused mage out of the room. When the door slams shut Hiei looks toward Shishi who is now jarred from Kichiro's hold. Hiei sighs and watches the Banshee streak to the door to begin trying to open it. Hiei's already learned that when the doors are warded only Kichiro can open them.

Hiei- Hn.

* When Hiei makes the grunt Shishi turns to look at him. Hiei can tell by the Banshee's expression that he's heard everything Kichiro had said. For several more minutes neither speaks. But their eyes remain locked, Hiei's gaze resigned and Shishi's fearful. Finally the Shinobi Samurai decides to break the tense silence.

Shishi- S-so... you've... had your babies...
Hiei- So, you're in heat.

* Shishi swallows hard and moves to a point in the small room as far away from the koorime as he can.

Hiei- What the h--- were you doing in this region?
Shishi- I was... l-looking for... you...
Hiei- Well you found me, d--- it.

* Shishi half glances toward Hiei with a brief nervous laugh. He takes note that the koorime doesn't approach him.

Shishi- That b------ is controlling you?
Hiei- You're not an idiot... And you're not deaf. I know you heard everything Kichiro said... You're not exactly in any... position... to criticize me now that you're in the same mess.

* Shishi raises a hand to touch the collar.

Shishi- So... What's with this collar? It's not exactly a fashion accessory, I gather.
Hiei- It's a warding collar. It seals your powers.

* Hiei discreetly takes a deep breath, inhaling the Samurai's scent, as he watches him hold a hand out. After staring at it for several moments, Shishi sighs and drops it.

Shishi- So basically I'm helpless...
Hiei- Hn.

* Shishi looks toward Hiei completely. As he sends his aura out to test if it works, he realizes the mistake in this move almost immediately. Hiei still remains in his place when he feels their youkais connecting. He watches Shishi's eyes examine his 'small, handsome, definately all male...' Shishi suddenly forces himself to turn away.

Shishi- D--- it!!

* Again silence fills the room as Hiei keeps his eyes on the naked Shinobi and Shishi gathers his heat-scrambled thoughts. When they begin to turn to a certain ice master, Shishi quickly shoves them away.

Shishi- So I'm at your mercy, should you... come over here and... ravage my irresistable body...?

* Hiei hears the nervousness in Shishi's voice then turns away and moves to lay on the bed. Discovering that there's a mirror over top of it.

Hiei- (Thoughtfully) Hn...

* The koorime hears Shishi turn with a squawk toward him.

Hiei- I may be trapped here in this h---... the same as you are now... But that doesn't mean I've lost... all my honor... yet.

* Shishi forces himself to calm down as he studies Hiei. His mind recalls everything that the master demon told Hiei.

Shishi- (Quietly) But... if you... refuse to... (Scowls) breed me...
Hiei- Hn. I will no longer have... twins...

* Shishi's eyes widen. Hiei continues to keep his eyes fastened on the overhead mirror.

Shishi- So... if I don't... c-consent...
Hiei- (Quietly) He wants Sabie's... baby... So he won't... kill him... He knows that the twins are sired by the Mazoku... He's not too stupid to know the significance of my... firstborn...

* Hiei growls then falls silent again as he closes his eyes. Shishi's empathic abilities are still functional enough to feel Hiei's inner anguish. Slowly he begins to pace as he tries to figure a way out, examining the small, windowless, escape-proof room they're in. He's unaware that his pacing is stirring up his scent even more until Hiei growls. When he turns to look toward the bed, he sees how the koorime is clutching the mattress.

Shishi- This is... only my third heat cycle... I always managed to hide away before since a Banshee's heat cycle only lasts for a week. The last three days being the peak... fertilization period...
Hiei- I don't need a d--- sex-ed session, Banshee!!

* Shishi falls silent a couple moments more, then he gathers his resolve and goes over closer to the bed.

Shishi- I was just saying, that those creeps caught me because I was too busy concentrating on finding a hiding place... I planned on staying in that tree until.. it passed...

* The closer position Shishi's placed himself in makes it harder for Hiei to control his very-masculine instincts. Shishi watches the koorime's tongue flick out to "taste" the air involuntarily.

Hiei- So.. H-how many more...?
Shishi- This is the.. s-second day of my.. fertile period...

* Hiei closes his eyes tightly.

Hiei- Th-then you'll have to... only stay on the... other side of the room...

* When Hiei whimpers quietly and clinches his fist tighter in the mattress, Shishi realizes that he has honor as well. His honor dictates that he cannot risk the innoccent life of Hiei's.. and Yusuke's baby. Hiei jolts straight upright when the Samurai sits down on the bed beside him.

Hiei- What the...?!
Shishi- So if... Since we're going to do this...
Hiei- Shishi,...
Shishi- (Shrugs) Well, I could certainly think of a few... worse choices...

* Hiei snarls.

Hiei- If I let go of my c-control...

* Shishi takes a deep breath, inhaling the scent that the koorime is giving off as well. It isn't long until he feels himself begin to react to the equally-classed, all male...

Shishi- I didn't say I was a.. virgin... I can take it rough... Just try not to scratch up my beautiful face...

* Shishi lays down and scoots closer to Hiei, showing his willingness to accept him. Hiei's upper lip curls as Shishi's spiked scent grabs his full attention. It draws the koorime down to crouch over top of the blue-haired Banshee. When he meets Shishi's eyes he sees the Shinobi's nervousness is still evident.

Hiei- If.. If my... son... wasn't at r-risk I... I would n-not...

* Shishi nods and reaches up to grasp Hiei's head.

Shishi- (Quietly) I know... At this st-stage in my.. heat... I'll be an easy... lay for a strong,.. handsome,... stud... Like you...
Hiei- (Growl) Hn...
Shishi- (Nods) It's okay, Hiei... Take me or... I'll help myself...

* Shishi curls his mouth into a lusty leer as more of Hiei's arousal invades his senses. Hiei feels the Banshee's words go straight to his groin. Without any further delay he lowers his mouth to capture Shishi's. No further battle is given by either as their instincts take over completely. Hiei growls excitedly and Shishi cries out shrilly in response. Their initial coupling is done in a very demonic fashion. Fast, hard, and driving. Their bodies rolling and writhing until they eventually end up on the floor. They are so lost to what they're doing that neither pays very much mind. When Hiei reaches his first completion he lunges down to capture Shishi's gasping mouth again. The koorime's small, lithe frame jolts in staccato fashion on top of Shishi. The Banshee continues keening as he keeps his legs wrapped around his 'stud's' body. This keeps them locked together throughout Hiei's release. The next session, after only a brief pause to catch their breath, is slightly more controlled. But it isn't until a couple hours later, and at least three more heated sessions, that Hiei finally begins to regain some of his senses. As he thrusts and shoots this time he shakes his head wearily. Hiei gets his hands under him and raises up as much as he can to look down at the heaving, exhausted demon beneath him. Shishi is now too worn out to even move. Hiei swallows, then stiffly lowers his head some to take a deep whiff of the Samurai. It slowly registers to Hiei's weary mind that Shishi's enticing scent is gone. Instinctially, the koorime knows why. When his load is spent he slowly collapses, rolling to the side so he won't land on top of Shishi. The sudden emptiness, when Hiei leaves him, rouses Shishi enough to make him open his slightly-darker red eyes, partially.

Shishi- (Mumbled) Wha...? A-am I...?
Hiei- (Quietly) Just.. re-lax... and sleep... now... We're done...
Shishi- (Mumbled) D-d---... Th-that was... in-tense...

* Hiei raises up onto an elbow briefly to watch Shishi's eyes slide fully shut once more. His head rolls to lay facing away from him. Hiei gathers his remaining energy and carries the taller Banshee back up onto the bed. He then settles down beside Shishi.

Hiei- (Quietly) S---....

* Hiei rolls onto his back to stare at himself in the overhead mirror until finally his own exhaustion takes him way into hibernation.
