CHAPTER SEVEN


It just wasn’t fair!, Yusuke thought in misery. They were on their third date with Hiei that week. Well, it felt like Hiei and Kurama were dating and he was just the third wheel. After all, Kurama wouldn’t pay for him. Stingy, perverted, sicko fox.

Yusuke watched as Kurama fed Hiei more of his triple chocolate sundae. The detective wasn’t really hungry but seeing Hiei’s tiny mouth parting and licking the chocolate off his lips made Yusuke hungry for the koorime.

He wanted to date Hiei too but he was dead broke. Most of his allowance already went to ice cream, lubricant and whatever stoked Hiei’s fancy. He should get a part time job, but it was just too energy consuming.

It really wasn’t fair! Kurama Youko had hoards of treasures stocked up in the Makai. The redhead also had a high paying job working for his stepfather. Yusuke can’t even access his father’s treasures until he turned 100 years old!

“Aren’t you ordering anything, Yusuke…?” Kurama broke through his reverie and the hanyou scowled at the redhead.

“I’m not hungry.” he muttered but was inwardly drooling at the sight of Hiei licking his spoon.

“Ho…?” Kurama said and Yusuke felt his knuckles itch, wanting to beat Kurama into a pulp. The redhead smirked at him before leaning over Hiei. “You have chocolate here…” he said, his face so kind and gentle then licked the smear of chocolate off Hiei’s cheek.

The small koorime moved away, tickled. “Stupid fox.” he muttered and attacked Kurama’s ice cream again.

Yusuke gritted his teeth. He needed to be calm or else Hiei might do another disappearing act if they fought.

Kyaaah! But what the heck made him agree to this? All he wanted was to have Hiei as his wife.

When the time comes to replace his father, Raizen, he wanted the koorime by his side. They’d live in the Makai because Hiei hated the Ningenkai. There’ll be some major changes with the castle because that crappy tower Raizen had built didn’t fit Hiei’s taste. He’d have it replaced with a traditional Japanese castle… with a bridal room for Hiei. The koorime would look especially beautiful in long flowing kimonos made of silk and satin. He’d have Hiei pampered and spoiled with legions of servants to do the housework while he, the almighty Makai Lord, conquered more lands and territories.

And then, Yusuke shivered at the thought, their nights will be filled with hot, hot sex. He’d have Hiei spread wide and just begging for it.

“Wipe that lecherous look on your face before Hiei looses his appetite.” Kurama said, dryly.

Yusuke flushed, covering his mouth as Hiei studied him with a surprised look on his face. It made Hiei look younger more than ever and another picture of Hiei begging him to ‘put it in’ flashed before his eyes.

“You’re bleeding…” Hiei said.

Kurama burst laughing as he threw a napkin at Yusuke. The detective’s face was as red as a beet root as he wiped the blood from his nose.

“S-sorry…”

Hiei blinked at him. “Don’t be so weak.”

Yusuke felt as if an anvil was dropped on his head. Weak?! It was just his hormones threatening to destroy his reputation in Hiei’s eyes. In panic, he grabbed Hiei’s shoulders and leaned closer to him.

“I’m no weakling, Hiei! C’mon, let’s go to bed right now. I’ll show you how powerful I am…!”

Kurama pushed him off Hiei with a foot on Yusuke’s face. “Stop saying weird things in public.”

Yusuke pushed hi away with a snarl and was about to yell at the redhead but Kurama had completely ignored him.

“Let’s visit the park next, ne Hiei?” Kurama asked with a smile.

Yusuke bit his lip as Hiei nodded at Kurama. Fuck Kurama and his thick wallet!

The redhead and Hiei turned when they heard Yusuke quietly chuckling behind them. What the hell’s wrong with him?

Kurama touched Hiei’s arm. “Maybe, it’s the heat.” he whispered making the koorime mutter about ‘idiots’.

Just you wait, you girly man, he thought. I’ll have Hiei falling in love with me in no time.


(…………………………………………)


Hiei squirmed as Yusuke licked the shell of his ear, trying to get him in the mood again for another round of sex. Wasn’t he tired yet?

“Hiei…” Yusuke whispered hotly against his ear making the koorime blush.

“You’re as stupid as that fox.” Hiei muttered.

Yusuke nuzzled the koorime’s neck like a kitten. “But, I was tagging along you two all day. He wouldn’t even let me near you…”

“Don’t act like a spoiled child.”

The detective pulled Hiei’s naked body closer to his. “But I want you…”

Hiei sighed as if he was tired of dealing with an annoying brat but held Yusuke closer. Yusuke took it as a signal to start again.

The koorime let Yusuke do what he wanted. He had been feeling a little tired after all that walking but Yusuke had slowly fired him up and it was good. Sex with Yusuke always made him feel calm.

Unlike that stupid fox who made him loose all senses and control. It was shameful even to think about.

Yusuke paused in his ministrations and stared at Hiei. “What’s wrong…?”

Hiei looked startled for a moment before shaking his head. “It’s nothing.”

The detective nodded and continued. Soon, their bodies were moving together, tangled with sweat and trembling in pleasure. It was after they finished when Yusuke finally noticed it.

“You’re cold.” Yusuke said.

Hiei opened his eyes with difficulty. “Hn…?”

Yusuke leaned down on him until their foreheads were touching. “You really are cold!”

Being a fire demon made Hiei’s body temperature warmer than humans, almost like he had a fever. But tonight, it felt even cooler than Yusuke’s. “Are you feeling okay…?”

The koorime didn’t answer.

“Hiei.” Yusuke shook him when he didn’t open his eyes.

“Sleepy…” Hiei muttered and Yusuke let him be, arranging the blankets around the small koorime’s body. He debated whether he should call Kurama. He couldn’t remember a time when Hiei’s temperature went down like this so he didn’t know if this was something he should be worried about. The koorime didn’t look like he was sick or suffering from anything.

Yusuke watched as Hiei snuggled closer to the pillow, his usual scowl gone and the elfin face looking so young and vulnerable. The detective smiled, his fingers stroking Hiei’s hair. He wanted to be like this forever with Hiei by his side every night, waking up with Hiei against him.

The dark head sighed and brushed his lips against Hiei’s warded forehead. It was a long shot, but he will definitely give all his best to win Hiei from Kurama.


(…………)


It was a subtle change, a sudden drop in Hiei’s temperature that woke Yusuke. The small body began to tremble as soon as Yusuke arose.

“Hiei…?”

“Nn…”

Yusuke sat up and flicked open the bedside lamp. He gasped when he realized Hiei’s naked body was damp with sweat.

“Hiei! Wake up!” he called, grabbing his shirt from the foot of the bed.

The koorime opened his eyes a bit as Yusuke began wiping his body. His small mouth opened and closed before he started breathing heavily.

“What?” Yusuke demanded, gently slapping Hiei’s cheek to wake him. “Hiei, please wake up. Tell me what’s wrong…”

“Y-youko…” Hiei was pleading.

“Kurama?! You want Kurama?” Yusuke asked, his voice incredulous. The koorime was asking for Kurama. Didn’t Hiei think he would be able to take care of him?

“Y-youko…”

Ignoring the ache in his chest, Yusuke grabbed the phone and dialed Kurama’s number. His eyes stung but he continued wiping the sweat off Hiei. He didn’t want to think.


(…………….)


Kurama wanted to bang his head on the wall. Sleep just wouldn’t come to him. He wanted to smell Hiei again.

He raised his hand and spread it before his eyes. So…? Shall we give it another go?

Kurama snickered in spite of himself. He never thought he’d be jacking off to memories of Hiei’s sultry expressions when they made love. He’d always imagined Hiei would always be there when he wanted to have the koorime.

The redhead glanced at the digital alarm clock. Uwa! It was almost three in the morning. How would he wake up early for class?

A bit pissed, Kurama rolled on his stomach, shutting his eyes tightly. A few more days and he’d have Hiei again. Was it really a good idea to let anyone else be intimate with Hiei? Kurama wondered what Hiei really felt about him. Was he someone special? More than an ally? More than a friend?

A lover…?

Kurama jumped as the phone rang.

Stupid prank callers, Kurama grumbled as he reached for the headset.

“Kurama?”

The redhead almost jumped off the bed as he heard Yusuke’s panicked voice. “Yusuke? What’s wrong? Is Hiei okay?”

There was a pause, Yusuke breathing before an answer came. “Hiei wants the Youko. Come now.”

Kurama was already on his feet, his red hair bleeding into silvery strands that glittered in the moonlight. The voice that answered was deeper, huskier.

“I’ll be there.”


(……………)


Yusuke blinked as the line was cut off. Kurama didn’t even ask for additional information. What if he had been kidding?

On the bed, Hiei had stopped trembling. Yusuke sighed as he replaced the receiver then picked up Hiei’s boxers from the floor.

“Hiei…? Are you feeling better? I’ll put on your boxers for you.”

The koorime’s eyes fluttered open. “Y-youko…?”

Yusuke exhaled. “He’s coming. Are you hurting anywhere?”

Hiei closed his eyes again, ignoring him.

The detective sighed and dropped Hiei’s boxers on the bed. He sat down beside the koorime and stroked his hair. Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong…? I can take care of you, too.

Yusuke jumped as Hiei’s ki spiked up, sending what seemed to him like SOS signals.

The detective’s eyes widened. Was he sending it for Kurama?

Yusuke bit his lip. Then why choose me when it’s Kurama that you want…? Do you even really want me?

He wanted to shake Hiei awake and get answers but the koorime looked so weak as he lay on a fetal position. Yusuke leaned down and kissed his cheek. The koorime stirred and opened his eyes.

“Youko…”

“Ah, no. He’s coming…”

“Yusuke!”

They both turned at the voice. Standing by the balcony windows was Kurama in his youko form.

“That was quick.” Yusuke muttered as he got up to open the balcony windows.

“I came as fast as I can…” Kurama’s voice trailed off and Yusuke turned to see Hiei sitting up on bed. Arms wide open, as if inviting Kurama to him.

The Youko had forgotten Yusuke and he quickly went to Hiei, enclosing the small koorime with his bigger body. “I’m here…”

Hiei sniffed Kurama, as if making sure he was the real thing before snuggling to the bigger body.

“Hiei…?” Yusuke’s voice caught in his throat as he watched Hiei’s face fill with peace at the Youko’s presence.

The koorime molded his body as best as he could against Kurama and promptly fell asleep. It was a few minutes of Kurama stroking Hiei and whispering sweet nothings before he turned to Yusuke. “What happened?”

Yusuke sat at the edge of the bed. “I have no idea.” he replied, his voice gruff. “When I woke up his temperature was low and he was sweating like crazy…”

Kurama’s eyes widened suddenly.

“What?” Yusuke demanded.

Kurama was silent for a moment before he answered. “He’s sucking my youki…”

“What…?”

“Hiei’s leeching off my youki.” Kurama repeated. “It’s not hurting me but … why is he doing this? Did anything else happen before I came?”

Yusuke was watching Hiei who was sleeping snugly against Kurama. He stood up, jealousy clear on his face. “Nothing. I’ll sleep on the couch.”

Kurama blinked at Yusuke’s outburst and raised an eyebrow as Yusuke slammed the door on the way out.

“What about neighbors…?” Kurama muttered.

Hiei stirred and snuggled closer against Kurama. The redhead smiled at that and hugged him closer. He buried his face on the thick hair and inhaled deeply. He made a face as he detected Yusuke’s scent on Hiei. A bit annoyed Kurama arranged the pillows so that they can lie more comfortably on the bed.

The elfin koorime’s small hands grabbed at his robe, as if he was afraid Kurama would run away.

“Hiei-chan…?” Kurama called.

Hiei just moved closer to him.

The redhead bit his lip and gathered Hiei to him. “Don’t worry. You’ll feel better in the morning.”

Kurama smiled when Hiei seemed to nod at him. And he hoped.
