Yeah... I have no idea as to what chapter I left off of before this site went down, but I changed it a bit, hopefully for the better, so here's the third chapter! Thanks to everyone who reviewed, please do continue to stroke my ego, it's about all I got goin' for me these days, and I promise to update faster next time. My school situation has been a little hectic, so I'm sorry.

Just a warning, Hiei is really out of character, and is completely oblivious to just about everything.

Chapter 3: Confusing Evidence
*****

“Hello again, Shiori,” the dark haired woman was twice as surprised to see Hiei this time.

“Oh, um, Hiei, I’m sorry, Shuuichi hasn’t woken at all.”

“Hn,” he held back the glare for her. He had seen the lights on in his friend’s room, “I’m just here to drop off the cookies from Yukina.”

“Yes, thank you very much, please tell your sister that Shuuichi really appreciates her kindness. How is she feeling by the way?”

“Much better,” was all he said. Shiori was trying to change the subject, but she was too nervous to do so smoothly.

“Um…okay, well, I’ll go put these in Shuuichi’s room so he can wake up to the smell of Yukina’s delicious cookies. It’s getting a bit cold outside, would you like some hot chocolate?”

Usually Hiei would have refused, not wanting to be alone with anyone other than Shuuichi or his sister, but there was something going on…

“Yes, that would be nice.”

“O-okay, um, please make yourself comfortable in the living room. Watch some television if you would like.”
“Hn,” Hiei nodded and took a seat on the light blue couch in the well furnished room. Flipping on the TV, Hiei went through a few channels before he heard Shiori come back down and go into the kitchen.

As quietly as possible, Hiei slid to the stairway and slipped up the stairs silently. He had been in the house so often since he was little that he probably could have navigated blindly. In a matter of seconds, he was sitting outside of Shuuichi’s door, pressing his ear completely against the wood.

“But master…” Hiei could barely make out the words.

That wasn’t Shuuichi’s voice, but it sounded so familiar at the same time.

“None of that.”

That wasn’t Shuuichi either! What the hell was going on?

“If he doesn’t love you...”

“He does! He will anyway…”

“You haven’t even been able to shift… He’s outside!”

“Oh no!”

“Shuuichi?”

“Um, Hiei?” a small cough marked every syllable.

“Are you alright?”

“D-don’t come in, please. I look horrible.”

“You’re too vain for your own good. I don’t care what you look like. Now let me in.”

“I’d rather not get you sick.”

“What about the person you were talking to?” he was about ready to break the damn thing down. The urge to see his redhead was threatening to kill him right now.

“Hiei, if you can’t tell, I’m having trouble just talking to you right now,” his voice came raspy.

“It wouldn’t be so hard if you’d let me in.”

“Um…” a flurry of whispers came through the door, “j-just a minute…”

“Shuuichi?” he was getting really irritated and about ready to bust the door down.

“Hiei?” Shiori stood over him, and Hiei turned to face the taller woman, guilt apparent in his eyes, “I’m sorry, but Shuuichi is sick, it would probably be best if you left.”

“N-no, it’s okay mother,” the normal alto voice returned, coming closer to the door.

“S-Shuuichi,” his mother gasped as the redhead opened the door, his hair in a complete disarray and pajama buttons off by one.

“You look absolutely lovely,” Hiei smirked, using sarcasm to hide the actual lust coursing through his body at the sight of the disheveled teen. Shuuichi really was just sex on very long, muscled legs. He was normally so neat and pristine that it became naturally arousing just to see him a little messy… especially his hair.

“Jerk,” Shuuichi growled, but noticed the look Hiei was giving him, “Why don’t you come in.”

“Hn,” he nodded, closing the door behind him.

Shuuichi went back to sit on his bed, “So what are you doing here?”

“You’re my friend, I know you’re sick so I came to see you.”

“I didn’t really want to be seen.”

“I think I know why,” he shook his head approaching the redhead.

“What?” Shuuichi looked up timidly, “I mean, why?”

“Because you’re a complete mess,” he smirked, undoing the buttons on the pajama top.

“Um, you don’t have to do that,” soft hands gently encircled the rough, callused ones that continued to undress him.

“What is this?” Hiei opened the top completely, “Why is your stomach all pink? It looks like you’ve been scratching at it all day.”

“You know, I could swear I have fleas,” he laughed nervously.

“Hang on, let me get something for that,” he rummaged about the desk for a second and came back with some scented lotion… one of many reasons that Hiei felt that he might have a chance with Shuuichi.

“No, really, I can do that, ah…” the rest of his words cut off as he felt the cool lotion wash over his lower belly.

“Stop complaining and let me help, you idiot,” Hiei huffed as he tried not to enjoy the feel of Shuuichi’s smooth skin under his hand.

“Please, Hiei,” the fingers wrapped about the other’s wrist tightly, “please stop.”

“It’s no problem.” Honestly, he couldn't help but watch the flushed expression on Shuuichi's face as he gently stroked the flat abs.

“No!” he ripped the hand away from his skin, throwing Hiei half way across the room.

The shorter teen was completely stunned, barely noticing the pain of landing so hard on his ass. Some of the reasons he couldn’t move was the fact that Shuuichi had just shown incredible strength that he did not possess, but there was also the fact that his best friend had completely thrown him away. Looking down at his slightly rumpled clothing, Hiei wiped away the last traces of the lotion from his hands before standing and heading for the door.

“Hiei… Hiei, wait! Hiei! Please come back…”

Needless to say, nothing was going to call Hiei back to his friend that night.

*****

The hot tempered teen entered the small house completely fuming. He wasn’t sure what he was angry about anymore. Shuuichi had asked him to stop, but he was so enthralled by the feel of that perfect skin under his hand and he could swear that he heard Shuuichi moan a little…

“How did he like the cookies?” his internal rant was disrupted by the sweet and gentle voice of his caring sister.

“Huh? Cookies? Oh, I- I don’t really know, he was still asleep when I got there,” Hiei mumbled, he hated lying to his sister, but it was too embarrassing to tell her what actually transpired. “How are you feeling?”

“A little more tired than I’d like to be feeling, but quite a bit better than usual,” she smiled sweetly.

“I’m glad.”

“It’s nice to see you smile every now and then, brother,” Yukina’s lips fell a little, but her eyes remained sparkling with pride, “I wish you would do it more often. I know that you have more than enough reason.”

“W-what?”

“Hiei, I know I only see you two together when he’s here to pick you up in the morning, but when he’s around, I can see you almost glow.”

Hiei felt his cheeks start to burn.

“You shouldn’t be sad about it either, I know you like to sulk about how you shouldn’t be feeling this way about a friend, but you know, don’t you? You know that you are in love with…”

“Hiei? You’re in love?” Ruri came in wiping her hands on a dish towel, “Who’s the lucky girl?”

“Um, no there is no girl, I swear.”

“Oh, Hiei, it’s so cute how shy you are sometimes. So, who’s the boy?”

“W-what?” he clung to the wall to keep from stumbling over.

“I’m not blind, you haven’t befriended any female other than your sister and myself,” the thin, blue haired woman shook her head.

“Well… still…”

“When is he going to tell Shuuichi?”

This time Hiei hit the ground hard. Was it really that obvious? “I’ll be in my room.”

“Good luck with that,” Aunt Ruri scoffed.

“Hn.”

*****

The moon hung high in the sky, watching as a small figure slid from the quaint house’s second floor window. Continuing down the block, Hiei made it to the playground Ruri would take him and Yukina to and went into the neighboring forest. This was a bad idea. He had needed a walk to clear his mind of all the problems swirling in his head, but the wandering path led him to the park.

“Youko!” What the hell had possessed him to want this? Why the hell did he want to see that fox again? This was entirely his fault. He kept thinking about the silver haired man in ways he had only thought of his best friend. Maybe this was better, he could get a lover to take out his sexual frustrations on and still keep his best friend.

The wind picked up a little before completely dying, but the trees about him continued to shake and shudder.

Crimson eyes scanned the surrounding nature… silence… nothing was moving, “Where are you? Show yourself.”

“You came to me. Tell me what it is that you are here for first,” that beautifully smooth voice whipped around him.

“I-I don’t know…”

“Hm, maybe you do love me,” there was a sudden rush of sound to Hiei’s left and the teen found himself staring up at seven feet of sensual glory.

“V-very tall.” They had been laying down the entire time when they first met… he had not expected to only come up to the man’s stomach, the tips of his hair barely brushed underneath Kurama's chin.

“Sorry, do I scare you, love?” his purr sent burning shivers up Hiei’s spine.

“No,” he shook his head nervously.

:How about now?:

“What the-?” Hiei was suddenly attacked by his memory of a gorgeous silver fox with striking gold eyes, but the creature had grown quite a bit.

:Hm, so warm:

The fox cuddled even closer into Hiei’s lap as the teenager toppled over.

:You wouldn’t happen to have a bologna sandwich on you, would you?:

“Sorry, no,” his hands refused to listen as they started to roam through the shinny, silken fur. ‘Why can’t I stop?’

A warm tongue slid over Hiei’s lips.

“Your breath smells like kibble,” Hiei groaned with annoyance.

:Sorry, I had a drink out of the toilet before I left:

“Gross,” Hiei gave the strangest expression he could muster and the fox backed away, transforming in to the laughing Youko.

“You are too cute, my little lover,” the much larger man laid out over the teenager.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Doing what?” Kurama lapped at Hiei’s neck possessively.

“This,” he pushed at the much broader shoulders, showing that there were no apparent gaps between their bodies.

“I love you.”

“You don’t know me.”

“You love someone else?” he nearly growled.

“…” Hiei tried to find anything else to look at but the fox demon loomed over him with his silver hair curtaining the rest of the world from their view. “You’re hurting me.”

Those golden eyes went wide as he released his grip on Hiei’s shoulders.

The teen stared with confusion, it was obvious that this Youko could do whatever he wanted. Forcing himself on Hiei would be no problem, and probably no problem to seduce him, especially the way their legs twined together. Hiei was starting to feel a little comfortable, or maybe a little too comfortable.

“Sorry, are you alright?”

“Why do you care?”

“Oh, my love, you can’t possibly think that I would ever want to hurt you… unless you wanted it. Are you into that sort of thing, Hiei?” he straddled the thin hips, tightening his thighs to pin Hiei in place while his hands clutched at the bony wrists, “How would you like that? If I were to take you right here in the middle of the forest? There is no one to hear you scream my name.”

To his embarrassment, Hiei found himself becoming unbearably aroused. His breathing became very unsteady as the fox lost his little smirk.

“What are the chances that you wouldn’t yell for me to hurt you? Would you shout for this person you love? I don’t smell any other’s scent on you, does this person love you in return?”

Hiei remained silent as Kurama leaned into sniff at his neck.

“If I were to do anything to you tonight, I would definitely mark you…” he threateningly nipped at the tempting throat, “that would hurt your chances with whomever it is that you truly want…

“As much I love this, I believe our time for the night is over,” Youko placed a soft, warm kiss on Hiei’s lips, “You should be heading home now, it’s late and you have a family who would be very worried if they found you missing.”

“Wait,” Hiei’s mouth started as the heavy weight disappeared from him and the silver fox froze between two very large trees, “W-what are you?”

:I am the fox spirit of this forest… Come to this clearing and call my name, I will always come for you:

Turmoil filled Hiei as he headed home and climbed up the tree to sneak in his bedroom. He hadn’t really done anything, but he felt that he had betrayed his best friend. He truly loved Shuuichi, but there was something about this Kurama that was so alluring… It was so right to be flush against that much taller man, his much heavier weight resting on him, their legs intertwined, meaning that Hiei’s legs were wrapped about one of Kurama's thighs. Mm, that scent… it was so familiar even though it was something that could not possibly belong to a human.

Hiei was starting to get a headache as he laid out on his pile of mixed clothing. His fingers grazed for his lips in deep thought. He could still feel the tingle that Youko had given him, and he felt sick to his stomach again. His love for Shuuichi had been the only thing he was certain about in his life, but now… he had a fox demon who was actually showing interest. No one had ever shown any interest in him other than a few girls who had been stammering something at the time, but when he demanded them to spit it out they ran off crying. Girls were too hard to understand sometimes, bt then again, he spent the last decade trying to understand Shuuichi.

While trying to straighten his thoughts about Shuuichi and Youko Kurama, Hiei finally fell asleep, still confused with no idea about how to save himself.

*****

“Hiei,” the saddened redhead walked into the chaotic bedroom and sat on the pile of dirty and clean and still okay clothing next to his friend, “we need to talk.”

“Hm… bugger…”

“Are you dreaming about a hamburger?” he pulled at the spiky black hair that was sticking out of the untidy pile.

“F-fox…” the slumbering boy pouted almost adorably.

“Hiei?” he swallowed hard.

“Hm? Ug, Shuuichi, it’s Saturday morning, can’t I sleep in?” he covered his head in what appeared to be boxers.

“Actually,” he picked at the undergarment, “it’s already a little past afternoon, I thought we could go somewhere for lunch. I’ll buy… as an apology, of course. We should talk about what happened last night…”

“Last night?” he pondered through his barely aware mind, “Oh, right. Yeah, sure, free food’s always good.”

“Great, um, here you may need these,” he offered the gray boxers back to his friend, a light blush landing on his cheeks.

“I swear,” Hiei grumbled as he went about throwing clothes on, “you’re worse than a girl. I have never met a man who wants to ‘talk’ about everything.”

“Well, there’s also the fact that the only other males you ever talk to are Yusuke and Kuwabara. One rarely ever likes to leave the house completely sober and the other is too busy trying to get a date with your sister to notice that you’ve been trying to kill him ever since you met him.”

“Hn, that’s true,” the shorter teen smirked as he finally pulled on a shirt, “What’s wrong? Are you still sick? You’re looking a little overheated.”

“Ah, no, I’m feeling just fine, thank you,” he let his head fall a little so that gorgeous mane fell about his shoulders.

“How did you like those cookies Yukina made me bring to you?”

“They were delicious,” he smiled at his black, slip on shoes, “You are happy to see her up and about so much, aren’t you?”

“Hn,” he nodded, knowing that Shuuichi understood even if he wasn’t looking up at him.

The two headed down stairs where Hiei put on his oversized army boots.

“Where are you boys off to?” Ruri leaned in the doorway to the living room from the front entrance.

“Going to lunch, Shuuichi’s paying. What do you want?” Hiei smirked.

“Oh, Shuuichi is too kind with his money,” she chuckled softly, “Don’t you think you should be using that to take out your girlfriend rather than spoil the hell out of Hiei?”

Hiei felt the color draining from his face as he stared completely wide eyed at his aunt.

Shuuichi chuckled softly, “Um, no, I don’t really have a girlfriend, and I’m not spoiling Hiei.”

“Then what are you doing?”

The tall teenager shrugged, “Hanging out with my mooching best friend?”

“Jerk,” Hiei huffed, but the other two just laughed at his expense.

“Alright, I’m done teasing you, let’s be on our way, then?” the redhead smiled gently and the two were out the door with the skinny aquamarine haired woman waving to them at the door.
