True Dedication

Chapter 7

Meanwhile in the bathroom, a young man with raven black hair found himself locked in a stall trying his best to relieve the ache between his legs.

“Oh god…oh…god…yessss…” Yusuke moaned. He was in the last stall in the bathroom, fiddling with his zipper. He finally freed himself with a slow release of air between his parched lips. He placed himself facing the porcelain bowl, slowly stroking his angry erection and pent up frustration.

He then heard the bathroom door open and then the sound of a ‘click’, indicating someone locked the door.

‘Oh man…oh man…oh shit…’ he chanted in his mind. ‘Please kami; don’t let it be some perverted freak.’

“Yusuke…” A voice called out. “It’s me. Where are you hiding?” Kurama said aloud, using his nose to sniff the toushin out. “Are you all right?”

“Uh…yeah I’m okay…just give me a second… or two and I’ll be out…” He said, clenching his teeth together. The ache was getting worse since the person who caused it was there with him. ‘Damn fox, always causing problems and this one won’t go away.’

“Yusuke, are you sure you’re all right. Do you need anything?” The smell was driving the kitsune crazy. He wanted, no, needed to be with Yusuke now. The mazoku was calling for him. He didn’t know what was happening to him only that his youki and Yusuke’s youki were reaching out to one another.

“Oh…uh…mmmhhh…no thanks…Kur…Kurama…” Yusuke was breaking; he couldn’t hold the moan in any no longer. The faster he moved his hand the closer he felt he was going to come add Kurama’s sultry caring voice to the mix and Yusuke was panting from the effort to keep upright, his right hand supporting himself on the stall wall.

Kurama unable to take this any more stood in front of the door and pulled it open. What he saw was enticing. There Yusuke stood, his pants pooling at his ankles, his hand trying to bring him to completion. His cock oozing with semen and the crown jewel was an angry red. Kurama licked his lips unconsciously and moved in for the kill, sort to speak.

“Oh…my…” Kurama all but purred, his eyes never lifting to look Yusuke in the face.

“Shut the damn door Kurama before someone walks in!” Yusuke shouted, afraid someone would see him with his cock out and that would be hell trying to explain. Besides he didn’t want his friend to see him jerking off, it was…embarrassing.

However, Kurama did not hear a word Yusuke said, he barely registered they were still in the bathroom. All he knew was that Yusuke had a ‘problem’ that needed to be solved, and he was the kitsune to do it. Inhaling the intoxicating aroma, he removed his friend from the confining stall, slipping his arm around Yusuke’s waist and pulled him closer. Yusuke gasped when his erection rubbed against Kurama’s clothed hip.

“Yusuke…” Kurama purred, his lips met with a cherub cheek, slowly trailing towards those sinful lips. Yusuke felt himself lost in the sensations, his eyes fluttering close as he leaned heavily against his friend. “I want to taste you, all of you.” Kurama growled low in his throat as he meshed their lips together in a heated kiss. Kurama pulled Yusuke closer, as his tongue swept across Yusuke’s bottom lip, asking for entrance. The mazoku opened his mouth allowing the wet muscle to explore. Kurama released a moan when he felt Yusuke pull at his tongue, nipping it here and there with his teeth. He placed his free arm around Kurama’s neck, pulling him closer.

Unable to deny the necessary air, they broke apart gasping for breath. Kurama gazed into Yusuke’s eyes, a crazed lust-filled expression pulled at Kurama’s heartstrings. He nodded his head in understanding, and trailed a delicate finger across Yusuke’s cock. Yusuke whimpered as he bit his bottom lip. Never once breaking the heated gaze, Kurama slide down Yusuke’s toned body, each hand mapping out all the sensitive areas on the boy for future references. Yusuke groaned when Kurama found an all too sensitive spot on his right hip. The touch was so gentle yet firm. The kitsune smirked and nibbled at the flesh. Yusuke’s hand quickly found their way into his hair and tugged it. He then felt something wet and hot on the tip of his cock. Looking down he saw the redhead’s tongue licking the tip of his erection like an ice cream cone, slow sensual licks. Yusuke groaned from the sight and placed his left hand on the fox’s shoulder for support.

Then with one quick motion, Yusuke’s cock was in the confines of Kurama’s mouth. Yusuke’s legs stiffened as the pressure began to build in his lower stomach. He felt like his whole body was aflamed and only Kurama’s talented tongue could extinguish the flames.

“Kurama…please…” Yusuke strained as the fox worked his muscle, sucking and clenching around his length.

The kitsune’s red hair curtained his eyes from the half-demon, only adding to the erotic feeling drawing him in. His tongue worked wonders while his hands fondled Yusuke’s balls, squeezing and stroking them with well expert hands. Kurama pulled his mouth off Yusuke, just leaving the tip in and smiled around him. He hummed around the organ, sending goose bumps up the boy’s spine and through his entire being. Kurama felt Yusuke wobble where he stood and knew it wouldn’t be long until his friend released . Yusuke’s body was on fire, he was so hot that he swore the sprinklers would go off any minute. He wanted to come and he wanted to now!

“Oh…my…freakin…. (pants)…god… (moans)…Kurama….” Yusuke was beside himself. On the one hand, he should not be enjoying this since he was battling his feelings for Keiko, but what Kurama was doing to him at the moment was gradually washing away all memories and thoughts about her. Though his friend was giving him the attention he needed it wasn’t just about that. Kurama had earned his friendship, his trust…and damn it the fox along those lines had won his heart and soul. Kurama was really a great thief. He stole his breath every time he would speak, his presence made life worth living and that’s why Yusuke felt he had fallen in love with this creature. Kurama showed him what love really was and he wanted what his friend was offering.

“Please…Kurama…aaaahhhhhh….please…so…clo-” Yusuke breathed out, the sheen of sweat making him look positively radiant.

Kurama felt Yusuke jerk, and then a wave of sweet, hot essence flooded his mouth. Not wanting any to escape, he wrapped his mouth tighter around the organ and sucked deeply drawing more of the nectar into his body. Yusuke held onto Kurama’s shoulders for dear life as his orgasm took him over. Kurama let the cock slip from his mouth when there was nothing more, licking his lips and savoring the taste. His eyes were a deep viridian and slightly dilated.

“My Yusuke, you taste absolutely delicious. I must have more of you.” He purred as he stood up to his full height and kissing the toushin deeply. Yusuke tasted himself in the fox’s mouth and whimpered in pleasure.

Gold mixed with green eyes stared at his friend as he broke the kiss for breathe. Yusuke was trembling in his embrace, his head resting in the crook of Kurama’s neck. Kurama not wanting to waste anymore precious time, picked Yusuke up bridal-style, walked them over to the sink and settled the toushin on the counter. He turned the water on, ran a towel under the water, and began to wipe the layer of sheen from his face. Cleansing and kissing him in the process. Yusuke shivered at the contact and moved closer for more.

“Yusuke remove your shirt and sit back.” Kurama instructed. He rewet the towel and waited for his friend to remove the soaked shirt from his form. He wanted to get the scent of sex off him before they headed back into the main dinning room. Yusuke did as he was told, tossing his shirt on the floor. His pants still hung around his ankles and he felt his cheeks flame. He looked himself over and couldn’t believe that Kurama had just given him the best damn blowjob he ever had, in the men’s bathroom in a restaurant at that! He wanted to yell at the fox but when he finally brought his eyes up to look at his friend he noticed that the fox was now naked.

‘Damn, that was fast…but what the hell…wait…what’s he up…to…’ Yusuke thought and then it hit him. ‘He can’t…not here anyway…’

“We can’t…do you know where we are?” Yusuke said, still trying to figure out what just happened between them. He couldn’t deny that a naked Kurama wasn’t half bad to stare at. In fact he couldn’t stop himself from staring.

Soft pale skin with a well-toned physique stood before him. A chiseled chest moved up and down with every breath breathed in. The long, silky strains of red hair cascaded down broad, strong shoulders. Muscled arms hung loosely from his sides and his thick legs stood firmly together. The masterpiece was not complete without a certain erection making itself known by standing at salute towards him. Yusuke felt himself drooling at the mouth and quickly composed himself. He couldn’t fall for his friend…it wouldn’t be fair to Kurama or…her…

“I know fully well where we are Yusuke. Now if you would stop that incessant talking I can do this.” Kurama said, taking full advantage of the open mouth in protest to plunder that cavern once again.

He wrapped his arms around the boy, their erections touching for the briefest moment, drawing moans from them both. Yusuke tried to remove himself, but the kitsune’s strong arms kept him still. Finally parting both panted for breath as Yusuke tried to speak once more.

“But…” Yusuke’s response was halted by a sharp nip where the collarbone and shoulder met quickly silenced him. He gasped and pulled Kurama closer. His body stirring once more. He didn’t know why that particular spot made him shudder but he wanted the fox to lick, suck, anything on the place again.

“I told you to stop talking. Enjoy this and let me show you what I can provide for you.” The kitsune said, his baritone voice dripping with lust. “Besides, they cannot hear us.” Kurama wrapped his tongue around one of Yusuke’s nipples, tugging at it and biting it.

“Aaaaahhhhh…” Yusuke hissed as he felt his nipple bitten and harden under Kurama’s ministrations. “What…do you mean…ooooo…they can’t hear… (moans)…us…”

“Let’s just say I brought some friends from home just in case something like this arose.” Kurama laughed when he saw Yusuke’s expression grow worried. “Do not worry; they will not harm anyone, as long as they stay away that is.” Another soft chuckle escaped his throat when he felt Yusuke’s hand fondle his ass. His friend was a fast learner. His smiled as he licked a trail across Yusuke’s chest to his other nipple and sucked.


Outside the bathroom, everything was perfectly normal. The customers ate their food in quiet bliss, exchanging small talk here and there. However, if anyone were to venture near the bathrooms, particularly the men’s room, they would encounter many vines growing and other plant life attaching to the men’s room door. They were plants from the Makai, especially grown by the kitsune for such uses. Barrier plants that grow in bunches grew like poison ivy and have special thorns that secrete a fluid causing a numbing sensation if disturbed, paralyzing any who touches. What makes these plants extraordinary is that they can camouflage to any surfaces.

An elder gentlemen approached the bathroom, his hand reaching for the handle when he felt a tiny pin prick on his finger. He pulled his hand away and brought the injured finger closer to his face. He saw a dot of blood and looked at the door trying to find what stabbed him. Shrugging the incident off, he headed back towards his table only to fall halfway there. He fell with a thud and his eyes glazed over. The numbing effect was taking over. The only remedies for this effect were if the person drank a brewed tea with the antidote in it or it would wear off in a couple hours. Unfortunately, for the man he had to wait until the effect wore off, seeing as the person who could brew the tea was currently busy elsewhere. Poor fellow.


Back in the bathroom, both occupants were breathing heavily, eyes glazed with unfulfilled desire. Kurama scooted Yusuke closer to edge of the countertop while his other hand searched the tile surface for some sort of lubricant. He wanted to make sure Yusuke’s first time would be memorable and less painful.

‘Ah, this will do just fine.’ Kurama mused. “Spread your legs wide for me love and scoot down a bit more.” He said, coating his left hand with the lotion.

‘Did he just call me…love?’ Yusuke asked himself. ‘Oh what the hell. Might as well dive in then just wad through.’

Yusuke scooted down more, his ass barely on the countertop. His back supported by the mirror and leaning on his elbows he waited for whatever the fox had planned. Kurama noticed Yusuke’s erection slowly growing in size as his other hand fondled Yusuke’s balls. His mouth slightly parted as he took deep breaths. Kurama was in awe, he never saw such a beautiful sight. Maybe once in his previous life but this was his new life and he would treasure this moment as if it was his last breath. Yusuke noticed Kurama grow quiet and took the opportunity to ask the fox something that had been plaguing him for a while.

“He-he-hey Kurama…” Yusuke moaned as Kurama gently stroked his opening with one lubricated finger. His eyes still holding that far away look.

“Yes Yusuke.” Kurama replied, his eyes staring intently at his new lover. ‘He will be once this night is over.’ He thought as a smile made its way to his lips.

“How do you feel about me…honestly?” He asked. He felt the finger still in his opening as the one fondling him came to rest on his stomach. Kurama trailed the finger lightly on the muscled abs in thought.

“Honestly Yusuke…I think I am falling in love with you. Do not think I will pursue you if you wish to still have a relationship with Keiko. For right now, just enjoy yourself. It’s okay not to feel the same way as I do, but never forget, I will always love you, Yusuke.” Kurama stated, kissing Yusuke’s stomach with much fervor. He wanted to prove to him that he did desire him so much. “I (kiss) am (kiss) here (kiss) for (nips) you (sucks).”

He reached his neck and sucked on it hard, using his fangs to graze the flesh. He stood up straighter, standing between Yusuke’s legs he resumed stroking Yusuke’s tight hole with his lone finger and the other hand still resting on his stomach. Yusuke pushed his hips down, wanting more but still feeling anxious about this new development.

‘It didn’t sound like he was lying so maybe I can believe him. Hell if he wanted to he could have had his way with me a long time ago, but he chose to respect me. Damn, now what do I do?’

Yusuke’s train of thought ended when he felt something slide into his ass and it hurt…a lot. He tried to pull away but a firm hand held him still. Kurama slide his index finger in slowly, hoping that he wouldn’t cause the boy any unnecessary pain.

“Sshhh…calm down Yusuke, it’s just my finger. I have to prepare you for my intrusion. It will hurt for a bit, but I promise it will all be worth it. But you have to relax.” Kurama soothingly said, still kissing Yusuke’s throat. He continued to thrust his finger in and out, his left hand caressing his friend’s stomach.

Yusuke nodded his head and tried to calm his body. He inhaled deeply, then breathed out harshly as another finger penetrated his entrance, scissoring him from the insides. His inner walls clenched around Kurama’s fingers, sending pleasurable chills down his back.

“You’re so tight love. Just relax.” Kurama coached his lover into calming down but he only grew tenser. ‘I have to calm him somehow. I know.’

Kurama delved his tongue into Yusuke’s navel, swirling it around the small hole. Yusuke arched his back, granting Kurama more reign to plunder his ass. Yusuke cried out when Kurama’s fingers stroked the bundles of nerves in his body. His whole body seized up and a new sheen of sweat plastered itself on his body.

“Wha-what the hell…was that…?” He panted, his eyes trying to refocus on his surroundings and on Kurama.

“That would be your prostate, love. Shall I do that again or have you had enough?” Kurama asked as a mischievous smirk played on his lips. He kept his fingers still allowing Yusuke to breathe.

“Hell yeah. Do that again, harder next time.” Yusuke demanded. ‘I can’t I believe I just said that.’

That’s all Kurama needed to hear. He felt that Yusuke was ready and withdrew his fingers, slicking up his cock with the lotion and positioning himself with the tight hole. They both looked into each other’s eyes, finding mutual agreement, Kurama slide the head of his erection into the opening. Yusuke cried out but was silenced by a pair of soft lips. He ignored the slow burn in his backside and allowed Kurama to dominate the kiss. The kitsune pushed in further, slowly letting the toushin’s body get used to the new intrusion. Once he was finally sheathed inside his lover, Kurama waited for him to adjust. After what felt like eternity, Yusuke opened his eyes to see Kurama holding him close, their bodies joined and sweat covered them both. He couldn’t believe this was happening.

“Damn it fox-boy, move all ready before we’re old.” Yusuke demanded. ‘Hurry before my mind catches up with what’s going on.’

“As you wish Koi.” Kurama obliged, pulling out only a little bit before he plunged back in, hitting Yusuke’s prostate dead on.

Yusuke groaned, his nails digging in Kurama’s back as he held on. He legs instinctively wrapped themselves around the fox’s waist and pulled him closer. Setting a steady pace, Kurama pumped into him, their bodies flushed with blood as they consummated their joining.

“Harder….uunnhhh….faster fox…..aaaahhhh…” Yusuke moaned, his body pressed tightly to Kurama’s, he couldn’t catch his breathe as it was stolen by the deep strokes.

Kurama held them, thrusting his hips upwards, every time his aim hit the toushin’s prostate, making him see colors of light and tiny sparks of white. Yusuke never knew he could feel this good, this loved by anyone in his life. Yeah he had a rough childhood, his mother barely around, his father nowhere in sight. But by being a Spirit Detective he met this beauty before him, Kurama. He never wanted to let him go, so he held him tighter, meeting him thrust for thrust. He still didn’t know what or why he was going along with it but wherever it led him, he knew he wouldn’t be alone.

Kurama sensed the change in his friend. The walls of his past seemed to melt around them. He was happy he was the one to bring peace to his friend. Not wanting to disappoint his lover, Kurama pulled back slightly wrapping his free hand around Yusuke’s cock and started pumping his cock up and down. Yusuke’s body practically flew off the countertop as he was stimulated inside and out. His whole body shook with ecstasy and he knew he wouldn’t last much longer. Kurama picked up Yusuke, making sure his legs were still secured around his waist, and laid him gently on the ground. He pulled out and thrust harder causing Yusuke to whimper, he was so close.

“Come for me Yusuke. Let me feel you once again. Come for me, Koi.” Kurama urged. He kept up the pace while stroking Yusuke’s cock.

“Kurama…so close…so close…aaaahhhhh…” Yusuke growled low in this throat. He closed his eyes tightly. Then he felt Kurama suck on his neck, his teeth grazing his flesh. That’s all it took for Yusuke to spill his seed.

KUUUUUURRRRRRAAAAAMMMMMAAA.” Yusuke screamed his body shuddering as his second orgasm ripped through his body.

Kurama swirled his tongue vigorously tearing more cries of pleasure from his lover as Yusuke’s semen coated their stomachs, chest and his hand. He continued to thrust as the toushin’s inner walls clenched him in a vice-like grip, milking him of his essence. Both of them were out of breath, tired and fully sated. Yusuke opened his left eye groggily, trying to figure out where he was. He saw Kurama trying to pull himself up on his arms but failed miserably when he collapsed on top of Yusuke.

“Um Kurama…” Yusuke mumbled as he let his legs slid from around Kurama’s waist.

“MMMhhhh?” Kurama murmured, his body aching in a delicious way.

“I can’t…breathe.” Yusuke said, trying to move his arms but they wouldn’t respond.

“Oh, I guess I have to get up then, don’t I?” Kurama replied, not wanting to move just yet. He was quite happy to be lying on his lover.

“Yeah you do. I’m still hungry and sticky.” Yusuke squirmed under Kurama coaxing the fox to move. He felt himself chuckling as he pushed at Kurama playfully.

“Fine, but first I have to clean you up. You look a mess.” The fox smirked and lifted his upper body.

“Whatever. Now get off before I have my way with you.” He said playfully.

“Do you promise?” Kurama asked, with a smile as well. He rose to his feet on wobbly legs and helped Yusuke to his feet carefully.

Yusuke winced at the pain in his backside and rubbed it. He glared at the fox who only stared back at him with innocent green eyes.

“My ass hurts thanks to you. I probably won’t be able to sit for a week.” He complained as he limped over to the sink and turned the water on. He continued to grumble under his breathe as he wiped away the dying semen from his belly and chest. He noticed a dark blemish on his neck where Kurama had been sucking and blushed furiously. 'He freakin' marked me, damn fox.'

“I did say it would hurt but the experience was well worth it though.” Kurama said wrapping his arms around the boy’s waist and hugging him close to his body.

“Yeah I guess. But what now? Are we a couple or what?” Yusuke asked, looking back at Kurama. “I don’t want just a quick fuck…I don’t…”

“It is up to you where we go Yusuke. If you want a relationship I said I would not refuse you. However, if you still harbor feelings for Keiko then that is understandable as well. I will not make you decide.” Kurama held him closer, nuzzling the exposed flesh of his neck.

Yusuke thought about this while Kurama slipped from behind him and dipped the towel Yusuke held under the water to wash them properly. Then after gathering their clothes, they quickly dressed, Yusuke being more careful since his ass still hurt. Kurama checked Yusuke and himself over one last time before vacating the bathroom. It was true they were in there a long time and their food was probably cold, but it wasn’t those reasons that stopped the boys in their tracks. Before they walked out Yusuke asked Kurama a question that he wish he hadn’t.

“Kurama…do you think they heard us?” Yusuke asked, sliding on his shoes.

“I don’t think so, besides my plants would have alerted me if that was so.” Kurama said confidently.

That was so not the case. As they walked out it seemed the whole dining area grew quiet. All eyes were on them it seemed. Kurama checked the door to see one of the vines on the door handle was damaged.

‘Oh no…they did hear’. He felt himself pale at that notion and quickly pushed Yusuke towards their table. ‘We have to leave, now. My senses are off it seems.’ He deduced.

Once at their table, Denise appeared and asked if everything was okay. Kurama nodded and asked for two take-out platters and the bill.

“Of course, just let me go get them.” She said in her chipper tone and hurried to the kitchen.

“After she returns with our stuff we are leaving.” Kurama said as he tried to hide the blush forming on his cheeks. He was so embarrassed.

Yusuke nodded and waited for their waitress to return. All the while he felt like everyone was staring at them and it started to get on this last nerves. Kurama noticed this and stroked his hand, smiling and trying to hide his blush. Denise returned shortly after with two take home platters and the bill. Kurama took the platters and handed them to Yusuke while he looked over the check. Finding everything in order, he paid her and rose from his chair, Yusuke following suit.

“Thank you again.” Kurama said as he bowed slightly and walked away.

Denise nodded her head and went back to the kitchen. She looked inside the book to find a very nice tip. She smiled inwardly, hoping they would come back and request her. ‘Especially that raven-haired dream boat.’ She swooned.

“Come on Kurama. Let’s get going before I have to bloody some noses tonight.” Yusuke said as he started heading for the door. He felt irritable all of a sudden and the stares were starting to piss him off.

Kurama was right behind him when he bumped into his back. Trying to figure out why he had stopped Kurama tapped Yusuke on the shoulder but the boy didn’t flinch.

“Yusuke, what’s the matter. Are you okay?” He asked as he tried to see what Yusuke was staring at.

Yusuke’s face paled considerably when a familiar voice graced his ears. ‘No it can’t be…her.’

Yusuke wanted to crawl in a hole. His stomach sunk to his feet when Kurama mouthed the words ‘Keiko’. Yusuke nodded and turned to see his ex with another guy. He was a bit taller than Yusuke with dark brown hair and slightly built.

The guy helped Keiko to her seat, pulling it out for her and then pushed it in. She gave a small laugh and smiled. Yusuke’s heart began to beat rapidly. Kurama stood next to his friend placing his hand on his shoulder and gave it a squeeze.

‘I used to make her smile like that.’ Yusuke recalled. ‘I used to do a lot of things to make her happy…’

“Don’t let her ruin your happiness, Koi. Let’s go home so I can make you feel much better.” Kurama said, trying to distract his lover from his ex. “If she had any sympathy she would have contacted you by now.”

Yusuke didn’t acknowledge the statement he only allowed Kurama to guide him towards the exit. Then without so much as a warning his resolve broke when he heard her call out to him. ‘Damn, almost. So close.’

“Oh Yusuke! Hi and Kurama how are you?” She said cheerfully.

That did it. Kurama felt Yusuke tense under his hand and reassured him by squeezing his shoulder. Yusuke glanced a look over his shoulder and saw Kurama’s gaze fixed on Keiko. He recognized that stare, he saw it plenty of times when they faced enemy demons.

“Everything will be fine Yusuke.” Kurama stated in his ear. “Just don’t let her get to you. I am here if you need me, I always will be.”

“How have you been Yusuke?” Keiko asked stepping closer to the two. She went to give them both hugs but stopped by the intense glare Kurama was giving her.

Before Yusuke could even say a word, Keiko’s date walked up behind her and placed an arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Yusuke bristled but said nothing. He just fixed him with a glare that would put Hiei to shame.

“Hey babe, who’s this kid?” The guy asked with a smirk.

Yusuke’s eyebrows knitted together as his fists clenched and unclenched. Kurama felt the tension in the air and knew he and Yusuke had to leave before something bad happened.

“Who the hell are you and who are you calling a kid you bastard!” Yusuke shouted.

“Let’s not make a scene now Yusuke. Come on, let’s go. Keiko it was nice seeing you.” Kurama said, pulling Yusuke away from the two of them.

“What do you mean, ‘not make a scene’? This piece of shit just called me a kid has his arm around Keiko like some prize he won and then has the nerve to laugh about it! You know what I’m gonna do…I’ma kick this guy’s ass!” Yusuke cried out as he broke from Kurama’s grasp and lunged at the guy.

His fist was locked on to the guy’s face but Keiko intercepted by wrapping her arms around Yusuke and held him close. Yusuke froze mid-punch and looked down at her in confusion.

“Yusuke! This is exactly what I was talking about. You’re still acting childish. It is time to grow up Yusuke. I mean…I’m…I…”

She then released her hold on him and backed up slowly towards her date. Yusuke’s heart broke into tiny pieces. He and Keiko were officially over. His eyes took on a shadowy hue and his lips turned into a frown. Kurama wrapped his arms around Yusuke’s form and guided him out the restaurant before the tear s formed in his friend’s eyes fell.

Keiko’s date pulled her back to their table and sat down. As she watched the retreating form of her once boyfriend and fiancée leave out the door, a pain of guilt stabbed her in the chest, causing her to lose her breath for a moment.

“Boy, that kid is a bum ain’t he?” said her date.

“You take that back. He’s just having a tough time right…now…” Keiko shot back.

Trying to take her mind off of Yusuke, she scrolled down the menu. But her thoughts kept wandering back to Yusuke and the hurt expression he had before he left.

‘Oh Yusuke…’


On the drive home, Yusuke was silent. He gazed out the window at nothing in particular. Kurama tried to lighten the mood by talking about nothing in general but it didn’t work. He even tried singing to him accompanied by radio but he couldn’t make him flinch.

As they turned the last corner towards the modern style home, Yusuke reached his hand out to touch a lock of Kurama’s hair. The simple gesture showed just how much he appreciated his fox, and that made Kurama smile.

“Thanks Kurama…for being there for me.” Yusuke said looking at his new lover.

“Anytime Koi. You know I said I would be there for you and I meant it. So, do you still feel like some dessert?” Kurama asked with a grin.

“FOX! You’re such a perv.” Yusuke said laughing.

The car finally came to a stop in the driveway. Kurama turned off the ignition and started to get out the car when he felt a hand creep its way to his groin, giving it a good squeeze. He followed the length of the arm to face Yusuke who had a big goofy grin on his face. Stifling a groan, they both raced out the car and into the house where they consummated their new love all night long.
