Forgiveness

Author’s note


Wow, it’s been a while since I updated huh?

No, I haven’t abandoned the story! I’m still loyal; it’s just that school has been extremely busy lately.

Sorry this took so long, I just wanted to make this chapter suuuuuper long, like longer than one thousand words. This chapter, I promise, will be intense with loads of drama!

That said, enjoy!

Murder.

It was a very tempting thought for Hiei at the moment. The moment that he had stepped through the portal, he had decided to go visit Yukina at Genkai’s shrine. When he arrived at his usual perch, he sensed no one on the property but Genkai. Before he could even leap down from the branch and inquire as to where his sister was, Genkai appeared beneath the branch. Looking up at him, she called irritably “If you’re looking for Yukina, she’s out dress shopping with Chiyoko for Kurama’s wedding. Now unless you have a death wish, scram!”

Hiei gave the woman a glare, and Genkai glared back. While Genkai cared for the members of the team, Hiei was one of the few she could honestly say she cared very little for. She didn’t despise or dislike HIei, they both just had a simple understanding. Hiei was welcome on her property, and she liked Hiei as an acquaintance, but her affection for her stupid apprentice and grudgingly, the oaf, as well as Kurama were welcome affections. She didn’t have much for the little demon that she hardly knew. Hiei, still glaring at the old woman, took off, tracking his sister with the help of the Jagan. Hiei finally came to a stop outside a dress store. Leaping to the ground, he hurriedly covered the Jagan and shoved his hands inside his pockets under his cloak and strolled inside the building.

The moment HIei stepped inside, he immediately wanted to step out. There were so many white things. Some were soft and smooth, kind of like skin, other’s were of a rougher, bumpier texture that glowed in the light. Hiei thought wryly ‘Fox would like some of these fabrics.’ With a start, Hiei shook his head. Damn, even now the fox still dogged his thoughts. Hiei had, at first just decided that he’d missed Kurama simply because of the great sex. The fox had been fantastic thanks to the hundreds of years of experience he had under his belt.

Now, as Hiei found himself in the middle of the store, surrounded by mountains of fabric shaped into hideous upside down flowers, Hiei was tempted to burn the place to the ground. He didn’t, knowing that Koenma would definitely have him put in jail, and this time, there would be no one to get him out of this trouble.

It was then that Hiei heard a group of familiar voices, and he drifted along, following the sounds until he came upon the group of girl’s. Among the group were Yukina and Keiko. The rest were unfamiliar, but the one Hiei recognized as the human ‘bitch’, he noticed was trying on dresses and modeling for the group. In Hiei’s opinion, whatever she wore was ugly. Although, in a way he thought that it was fitting for her, and for Kurama, an ugly dress for an ugly human bitch. Before Hiei could even turn to leave, he felt an arm placed on his shoulder effectively stopping him from leaving.

Upon turning to see just who had stopped him, he was met with familiar ruby red eyes. Yukina. Hiei stiffened, the movement hadn’t gone unnoticed by Yukina, but she said nothing about it. Instead, she said softly, “It’s good to see you again Hiei-san. Kurama-san is in a store down the street, and he said that if you showed up today to come and see him. They are doing fittings for the suits, and as you are best man, he wanted you to get fitted today.” Hiei pulled his shoulder gently from her grasp, letting out a “hn.” as he did. Hiei left, leaving the store to go and find Kurama. It was very easy to find them seeing as he could sense the Oaf’s spirit energy from a mile away.

Upon arriving at the store, Kurama was upon him in a heartbeat. Hiei didn’t even bother hiding his discomfort with Kurama touching him. He stiffened and followed Kurama’s lead, trying hard to ignore Kurama as he spoke “it’s a good thing you came Hiei, I could only give the tailor’s a rough estimate of your size.” Hiei frowned, and before he could protest, he was interrupted with a very familiar voice “I told you dammit, that the suit was too tight!” Another familiar laugh interrupted the tirade and a “Urameshi! You look like the hulk with the split suit!” More laughter “Shut up Kuwabara!” The sounds of fist echoed in the store. Along with the tailor’s squeaky, terrified voice “S-Sirs! P-Please don’t fight in here!”

The tailor went unheard and Kurama called the tailor over “Mr. shinya, my best man has arrived. If you could please show him his suit? Mr. Shinya looked relieved to be distracted from the brawl. After going into the back of the store, he came back with a suit, tailored to fit Hiei. Mr. Shinya handed it to Hiei, and said “I will see to your two ah, groomsmen.” Mr. Shinya hurried off to try and avert the damage being done to his suits. Kurama chuckled and looked at Hiei. He said jovially “Come, Hiei, I will help you change.” Hiei hned and followed after Kurama to a dressing room.

Once the screen was pulled shut, Kurama turned on Hiei and said “Removed your clothes Hiei so that you can put the suit on.” Hiei stared at Kurama warily, clearly not trusting his judgment or his words. Kurama laughed a little and promised softly “I won’t try anything, promise.” Hiei glared at Kurama, and grudgingly removed his cloak and scarf, tossing them aside. Next went the belts on Hiei’s pants, followed by his shirt and then he finally took off his pants and shoes. Naked, he took the suit pants from Kurama and pulled them on. Hiei didn’t wear underwear. It was only humans that wore them. The only time he even ‘wore’ underwear was when he was being stuck in the healing chamber in Mukuro’s castle, and even then they were shorts that were like boxers, but were actually shorts. Before Hiei could button and zip up the pants, Kurama’s cool hands caught Hiei’s. He dropped to his knees and murmured “Let me help you.”

Kurama’s fingers danced along Hiei’s bare skin, touching the bare skin on Hiei’s body. His fingers danced along the curves of Hiei’s muscles, briefly teasing Hiei’s nipples, to which Hiei responded with a hitched breath and a growl of pleasure. Hiei, glared at Kurama, and said, voice rough with a need from not being touched for over three months “What are you doing fox?” Hiei was hard, and as much as he wanted the pleasure, he had been thrown aside for a human woman, and for Hiei to have even let Kurama get this far showed how desperate for Kurama he had become and Hiei hated himself for it.

Kurama said as he regained his composure and buttoned Hiei’s pants and zipped Hiei up. He said “I told you Hiei, I was helping you with the pants.” Hiei growled and said “That’s not what I asked fox.” Hiei growled at Kurama and said nothing as Kurama quickly interrupted Hiei by handing him his shirt. Hiei put the shirt on and tucked it in before slipping on the coat Kurama had handed him to go with it. The suit was fine in size surprisingly. The pants, coat and shirt just needed to be lengthened, the pants taken in a couple inches. After Hiei had grudgingly allowed the Mr. Shinya to tack in the suit, Hiei went back into the changing room to change. Without Kurama’s help.

When Hiei came out dressed in his familiar old clothes, Yusuke and Kuwabara were gone. Mr. Shinya had finally gotten the balls to kick the two brawlers out of his store, afraid that they might wreck his store. Both had been embarrassed, but had acquiesced and left at his rather insistent request. As they left, Kurama had watched them leave, looking amused. They left, leaving Kurama behind to talk to Mr. Shinya. At least, that was what Hiei had expected from the conversation he had heard. Instead, Kurama was outside waiting for him. Hiei tch’ed at the smiling fox, whatever Kurama wanted to do, Hiei had a feeling it was going to leave him feeling even more pissed off than when he first arrived in the ningenkai. But, Hiei followed anyways, cursing himself for it. Hiei followed after Kurama as they walked towards the park. Kurama led Hiei into a small clearing, the one Kurama had managed to cultivate into their own little space, where no humans dared go because of the thick, unforgiving brush. However, for Hiei and Kurama, it was nothing since Kurama simply coaxed the plants to make a path for them.

Once in the safety of the clearing, Hiei asked “What did you want to talk to me about Kura-Mmph!” Hot lips smothered his own and there was a passionate kiss, tongues fought each other for dominance of the kiss, and before Hiei could even stop himself or Kurama, clothes were being shed and Kurama was touching him again. Kurama was touching him in ways Hiei hadn’t been touched in months, and Hiei was helpless to stop it as he gave in to Kurama’s embrace, muffled cries of pleasure escaping his lips as Kurama positioned himself above Hiei and slowly pushed in, and pulled out. All too quickly, the thrusting sped up as the love making changed from slow and passionate to rough and fast, as if Kurama just wanted to slate his lust and get it over and done with.

When they both came, Hiei had sat up, and watched Kurama slowly get dressed and fix himself up. Kurama said as he flicked his hair back over his shoulder “I’m getting married in two months Hiei, this won’t be happening again. I expect you to be on your best behavior.” With that, Kurama left, leaving Hiei behind in the clearing. Hiei watched Kurama leave, a realization slowly coming over him, along with a disgust and self loathing with himself.

It was with that knowledge that Hiei realized what Kurama had done. Kurama had given him a pity fuck, a bribe to make him behave, and suddenly, Hiei was angry. The good mood brought on by the sex diminished and was replaced by rage and self-loathing. Hiei cursed himself for falling for the trap, and as he sat there, soaked in Kurama’s seed as well as his own, Hiei felt disgusting. He was dirty. As Hiei got to his feet, he dressed in his old clothes, wincing at the sore muscles as he went. Shit. Hiei had never felt so low in his life. He knew Kurama had enjoyed the sex, if Kurama hadn’t been remotely interested in him anymore, there would have been no sex, but the statement made Hiei doubt just how well he knew Kurama.

Hiei was pissed with the knowledge of being a pity fuck, but he was even more upset at himself that he didn’t stop Kurama. Hiei gripped his fists and looked up at the sky as it began raining. Even through the rain, he couldn’t stop the tear he shed. Catching the tear gem in his hand, he looked at the black tear gem with flecks of red in it. Hiei thought to crush it, but on a second thought, he held onto it. A present for Kurama. After all, it was the first tear he had cried for Kurama, and Kurama deserved the gem as it was customary for koorime to give the gem they shed to the person that caused the tear. After hiei pocketed it, he leaped into the trees, making his way back to Genkai’s temple where he took his rest on his usual tree.

Hiei was left alone on the branch, left to sulk in his own misery because he didn’t want anyone to see him in pain, but it was a pain that Hiei felt he richly deserved.
