True Dedication

Chapter 9

On his way to Kurama’s house from his interview with Hatanaka-san, Yusuke drove down the street from the building to stop at a red light.

“Damn light, shit always gets me.” He muttered as he checked his reflection in the mirror and changed the radio station. “At least I have some good news when I get there.”

As he sat there, he thought about how his interview went as his favorite song played, “Minority” by Green Day. After what seemed like an eternity, the light turned green and he pressed his foot on the gas.

‘I hope Kurama’s all right.’ He thought as he turned the last street corner leading to Kurama’s home. He parked the car on the street, straightened his clothes, and started towards the front door. He reached out to insert the key and unlock the door when it suddenly swung open and a body tackled him forcing him to fall backwards. Opening his eyes, he saw that he had an armful of a distraught Kurama clinging to him like a lifeline. He noticed that his fox only wore his pajama bottoms and his body was shuddering violently. Holding him tightly to his body, Yusuke guided his lover into the house and shut the door behind him. That’s when he caught a whiff of something foul, it smelled of sex and shame.

“Kurama…were you-” But before Yusuke could finish, Kurama buried his face in his lover’s chest.

“He’s here Yusuke…I couldn’t stop…it just happened…” He muffled. He buried his face more and clung to Yusuke for all his worth. “I tried to stop…I tried but…curse it…”

“Who are you talking about? And what do you mean you couldn’t stop? Kurama what the hell happened?” Yusuke asked his voice taking a higher note and laced with fear and anger.

“Hiei!” Kurama blurted out. “He’s still upstairs and won’t leave. I swear to you I tried to get away…tried to control myself…Yusuke?” Kurama finished as he felt his lover pull away from him. A look of disgust and hurt adorned his boy-like face.

“You…didn’t…you couldn’t have…” Yusuke exhaled harshly as his expression contorted to anger. He sniffed again and narrowed his eyes at the fox. “You did!”

“Oh gods…I’m so sorry Koi, Yusuke. Please you must understand what I’m going through. I couldn’t control myself…I tried so hard…Yusuke…” Kurama finally let the dam of tears go and he cried, cried so hard his body trembled.

Standing up and moving away from the fox, Yusuke just stared at him, not really looking at him, just staring past him. He had to get a hold of himself before he said or did anything to hurt his already agitated lover. Closing his eyes and taking another deep breath, he made his way back over to the couch and took Kurama’s hands in his.

“It’s okay.” He sighed and stroked Kurama’s hand thoughtfully. “Just tell me what happened. I promise I won’t get mad.” To say that and hide it were two different things, but Yusuke managed to hide his true feelings, allowing his fox to feel a little at ease.

“It…it was so sudden…and…and…”

“I understand Kurama just tell me and I won’t think any different about it. Please I need to know.” He clenched his teeth to hold back anything else he might have said.

Kurama took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and looked up at Yusuke. His eyes lacked the hatred and disgust, but held pain and concern. Kurama knew he had hurt Yusuke in the ultimate way however since what Hiei had confessed to him earlier, his demonic instincts took over, making him lose control over his body and literally his mind. He cursed his weak human side. He looked down at his hands clasped tightly and spoke.

“It all started when you left. I started to feel well…how can I put this…I started to feel sexually aroused. I had no idea what brought about that desire only that I wanted…needed relief. Then the raging onslaught of emotions began to toy with my mind…I could not control what my instincts were asking of me…it was horrible. And just when I thought I figured out what was happening…”

Kurama caught his breath as his heart sped up. Yusuke’s grip on his hands tightened and Kurama felt the anxiety pouring from him.

“Then out of nowhere Hiei showed up and it seemed so sudden. I couldn’t control myself. One thing led to another and-”

^_^ *FLASHBACK: LEMON SCENE AHEAD* ^_^

Hiei had Kurama pinned to the wall next to the bed. Kurama released a small gasp as he felt Hiei’s lips traveling across his clothed chest. Then he felt said shirt lifted up to expose his trembling stomach. Hiei’s talented tongue trailed up to his smooth chest and took a pink nub between his teeth. Kurama’s breathe hitch and a small whine escaped his traitorous lips.

“Hiei…nnhhh…please…” Kurama pleaded as he succumbed to another moan as Hiei latched onto the other nipple, giving it the same attention as its twin. “Please…”

“Please what Kurama?” Hiei asked as he licked the tiny nub. He changed from licking to sucking driving the kitsune into a frenzy of groans and whimpers. “I cannot hear you fox.”

Kurama hands instinctively searched for the soft, black locks brushing against his chest and face. His fingers melted within the spiked pyres. ‘I must resist…must fight him off…Hush enjoy what he is giving you…I will not betray Yusuke…(growls low in throat)you will not deny me this…’

“Please…ahhh…no…no…” Before Kurama could protest, he felt the wet muscle sink into his navel, dipping in and out in slow, agonizing strokes. His legs stiffened as another burning sensation took refuge in his groin. Hiei raised his head to gaze at the lust-filled emerald orbs. He smirked to himself. ‘Yes that’s it fox, submit to me just like before.’ He just about had Kurama melting in his grasp when the fox had flipped their positions. He was pinned on the bed, both wrists grasped tightly in the fox’s left hand as the right stroked the muscled-tone chest affectionately.

“You have been a very, very bad fire demon, little Hiei.” Kurama said his voice low and husky. His eyes were melted gold and his body seemed to stretch into a leaner physique. “Yes, quite bad indeed.” He chuckled.

Hiei stared at the fox for what seemed like an eternity. He felt his cloak torn away from his tiny frame and witnessed the scratch marks made on his right side. Little red welts began to fill in the five red lines and seep blood. Kurama moved to the spot, licked at the stream, savoring the hot, salty taste. Hiei arched his back and moaned wantonly into the touch, his wrists painfully captured in the iron grip of the kitsune, his legs flailing uselessly.

‘What are you doing...what does it look like Shuichi…give me back control Youko…no I have put up with you for far too long it is my turn…you can’t do this to him…I can and I will…’ Kurama felt his will crumbling as the fox demon continued to break free.

Youko sniffed the air and purred deeply within his chest. He would enjoy this freedom while it lasted. Knowing Shuichi could come back at any moment. He tore off Hiei’s belts and pulled down his pants, exposing him to his hungry eyes. Hiei’s cock rested against a nest of downy black hair, its tip glistening with want. Youko licked his lips eagerly.

“Hmm it has been such a long time since I have had a taste of you, little Hiei…” Youko murmured against the quivering flesh. “Allow me to reacquaint myself.” He licked the tip languidly savoring the way Hiei’s body seized up at his touch.

‘I will make you mine…stop this Youko you can’t do this to Hiei it is not right…silence Shuichi he is here and willing…still does not make it right what about Yusuke…what about him…I chose him and I…I…YOU what Shuichi…’

Hiei moaned and bucked his hips but Youko ignored him, stroking his balls, while his tongue trailed up and down Hiei’s chest and torso.

“Ku…ra…ma…” Hiei groaned out as his aching cock dripped. He was besides himself. He wanted to have the kitsune under him but he also missed the fox taking his body.

“Yes my willing Hiei …” Youko drawled his eyes making contact with Hiei’s fiery pools of crimson.

“Take me…now!” the fire demon demanded.

“Why Hiei, all you had to do was ask nicely.” The kitsune said half-heartedly. He smirked as he spread apart Hiei’s legs. He slipped out of his pajama bottoms and tossed them to the floor.

Before Hiei could voice his opinion, two slick digits found their way into his puckered hole. Thrusting in and out with slow and tortuous strokes, Youko smirked as a sigh escaped those supple lips. Hiei arched his back thrusting his hips downwards wanting more contact. The fox ravaged Hiei’s lips, sucking the bottom lip gently. Hiei parted his lips, Youko’s tongue darted inside tasting and exploring the wet cavern. Hiei moaned into the kiss, his hands finally freed from the kitsune’s grasp wrapped themselves about his neck pulling him closer. Youko deepened it, drawing Hiei’s tongue into his mouth as they battled for dominance. He continued to prepare the demon for his entrance, scissoring the tight passage and stretching him to accommodate his large girth.

“Kurama…onegai…unnhhh” Hiei breathed out as Youko picked up the pace, thrusting faster and harder into the lithe body.

Hiei’s back bowed harshly as one of Youko’s thrust hit the bundle of nerves within him. His eyes rolled in the back of his head as his hands raked the fox’s backside. Another smirk graced the kitsune’s face as he continued to hit that spot over and over.

“Kurama!” Hiei cried as his seed spilled between their bodies. His body writhed from the aftermath.

“My, if you came just from me fucking you with my fingers, I can’t imagine how beautiful you will look with my cock shoved up your sweet hole.” He said licking the semen from Hiei’s stomach. “Now that you are cleaned I do believe my cock wants a turn with you.”

Shuichi fought with all his might to break the mind barrier Youko placed around him. He couldn’t believe he allowed himself to succumb to such a thing as his heat. He couldn’t believe the demon fox would torture their friend in this manner. It was deplorable. And he could not believe how easily he was trapped within the barrier let alone it was of his own doing. He had to break free before something irreparable took place.

Youko took his left hand and wrapped it around his own throbbing erection, slicking it with lubricant he found in the night table and guided it the fire demon’s well prepared entrance. He used his other hand to support his body as he pushed in. Hiei’s legs wrapped around the fox’s waist, helping him go deeper into his hungry body. His cock slipped easily pass the ring of muscles until he was balls deep within the tiny body.

“Mmmmhhh….nnnhhh …foxxxxx….” Hiei moaned as his body welcomed the fox’s intrusion. Finally sheathed inside that warm cavern, Youko stilled watching the fire demon writhe in pleasure, his face scrunching up in annoyance. Bucking his lower body, he urged the fox to move.

“Move you damn fox…kami-sama…” Hiei whimpered. (later he will deny he did that)

Shuichi took Youko’s minor pause and pulled him back within the barrier. He took control of his body and felt a little dizzy. He felt the fox fighting against the barrier but Shuichi held him at bay. Inhaling deeply he braced himself against Hiei’s strong chest, willing his self-control to hold out.

“Hiei…we have to stop this…” He shivered as he felt Hiei’s inner muscles clench his length tightly. “I cannot…I can’t…” He held back a groan as the fire demon pulled his body closer, his cock pulsing with the need to thrust.

“Oh shit…..Kura…” He saw stars and held Kurama closer, wanting more.

Kurama bit his bottom lip as he slid his length free only to have Hiei pull him back. ‘I have to escape from…YOU WILL LET ME OUT…I will not have you ruin my relationships with my friends…I NEED RELIEF…you need to be kept in check…I WILL GET CONTROL…not now you won’t…’ Kurama twisted out of Hiei’s grasp.

“Hiei please…listen you don’t want this…we can’t do this…” He pushed himself away from Hiei, his cock slipping free from the small body. “I won’t have sex with you.”

Hiei recovered from the lost of contact to glare at the kitsune. He found himself staring at a flustered Kurama with deep gold eyes and a pained expression. Then he had an armful of the fox holding him tightly and crying into his shoulder.

“I am so sorry Hiei…I took advantage of you during this…I don’t even know what has come over me…It is quite confusing and frustrating. You must leave before I lose control again…I don’t know what will happen if he escapes…” Kurama mumbled against his wet neck.

Hiei held his companion awkwardly and tried to understand what he was saying. He knew he was just about to have sex with the kitsune when Kurama withdrew and now crying on his shoulder. He patted his back in the manner he saw others do and pushed Kurama to a sitting position. Looking him over Hiei noticed the puffy green eyes and the upturned lip. ‘What is going on with him?’ Hiei shook his head and inhaled thru his nose. ‘I should have never followed this scent, even if it belonged to him.’ The fire demon went to remove himself from the bed when his lap was occupied said fox.

“And where do you, little demon, think you are going? Hm?” Hiei’s movement stilled as he looked upon the face of not Kurama. “Oh my, have I caught that sinful tongue of yours.”

In place of the perfect red strains of hair, there cascading around his broad muscular shoulders were thick flowing silver threads with pointed silver ears on top swiveling back and forth. The green eyes full of fire were replaced with cool molten gold pools, simmering him with his stare. Hiei was in awe. He would have never imagined in all the three worlds that this beautiful, creature would ever…ever consider him worthy.

“Kurama?” He heard a deep rumble within the chest and could not stand staring into that face. He never had the chance to bed Kurama in his true form before and was baffled by his appearance. “Where is the fox?”

Shuichi shook his head in dismay as he once again found himself within the barrier. How could he allow his emotions to distract him when his inner self was raging with pent up sexual frustration as it seemed. ‘I hate heats.’ He banged his head against the barrier. ‘I have to wait for another opportunity, feeling a bit fatigued…I really do hate heats…’

The kitsune only purred and nudged his face closer to the fire apparition. “Hiei,” Kurama purred, “are you all right?” His silky baritone voice reverberated off Hiei’s skin.

Hiei could only nod. Memories of their past relationship came rushing back to him. He knew he messed it up and now he regretted it with all his heart. He missed the sound of Kurama’s voice calling him for breakfast, the way he held him at night. Though he pretended not to like it, secretly he enjoyed it. Even the way their eyes would connect and they understand exactly what the other thought. His heart clenched when realization hit him. He was still in love with Kurama! However, his fox belonged to another. Yusuke. Hiei wanted nothing more to do with the fox. He was using his companion’s heat as an excuse to get close to him. He felt low even lower than low. He felt guilty.

“Kurama…I…we…” Hiei tried to say but the words were lost. Even the musky scent was driving him crazy.

Again, they stared into each other’s eyes. The message was clear when the fox searched those red irises and saw guilt and betrayal.

“Hiei what is wro-”

But the words were swallowed but the force of Hiei’s chaste kiss on his lips. Such a kiss filled with pain, sadness, guilt, love, anger, but of all…regret. Hiei regretted ever hurting the fox. Youko deepened the kiss while placing Hiei gently back on the bed positioning himself between his spread legs. He gave a slow nod as he inserted his cock within the fire demon thrusting with slow long strokes. Hiei felt his resolve completely unhinge and met the fox’s thrusts. He moaned into the kiss, his small callous hands digging into the fox’s back. Youko pulled out and slammed back in, causing Hiei’s body to arch upwards and grab the sheets for dear life.

“Unnhhh Kurama….faster….kami faster…aaaoohhhh!” Kurama’s cock brushed against
his prostate.

“You like this, my little inoko.” Youko said as he pounded into the demon.

The sound of flesh smacking flesh echoed in the bedroom, a curtain of sweat caressed their drenched bodies adding more lust and pleasure filled cries to create a beautiful symphony.

“Come for me Hiei. I want to hear that beautiful voice of yours cry out my name. Let all the three worlds hear you!” Youko growled out as he placed one of Hiei’s legs on his shoulder, helping him angle his penetration more deeply. He grabbed the limp cock between them and stroked vigorously with his thrusts.

“KUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMAAAA”

Hiei’s walls clamped down tightly around the large cock and milked him for all his worth. His cum spurted out like water from a fire hydrant coating their stomachs, chests. Couple more thrusts later, Youko followed suit howling Hiei’s name at the top of his lungs. As the effects of their orgasm slowly calmed, Youko licked some of Hiei’s spent seed off his chest and sucked on his nipple. Hiei stirred and stretched his sore body in a cat-like movement.

‘Here is my chance. It is time for you to return, you insufferable demon. You had your fun now give me back control.’ Shuichi pulled the demon fox back within his mind, securing him with a chain and a well-placed scolding.

“Unnnhhh…that was…great Kurama…” Hiei panted out. He did not notice as he stroked the fox’s hair that they were now blood red.

Kurama opened his bleary green eyes to discover he was sheathed inside a body that did not feel like his toushin. He also felt worn out and physically drained. ‘Had Youko actually gone through with it?’ A horrified look spread across his face as he recalled his last conversation before being held within the confines of his mind. ‘Damn that fox.’

“What’s the matter Kurama? Are you feeling okay?” asked Hiei as he tried to sit up as Kurama’s cock slid easily from his abused hole.

Kurama’s gaze slowly crept up to meet eye to eye with Hiei. He couldn’t dare look at his friend…he betrayed him and his lover. Toying with their emotions was not his intentions and on top of that he had allowed Youko to escape. ‘If only I had been more prepared I could have went somewhere or done something’ Kurama berated as he thought of ways to remedy the situation.

He rolled onto his left side and sat up. He examined his body and grimaced at the sight of Hiei’s essence on his person. Still disbelieving that he had sex with his old lover he was disgusted with himself. He found and reached for his discarded pajama bottoms on the floor and slipped them on. He found his shirt and wiped away the mess on his body. As he tried to stand he felt a hand halt his progress. He turned around as the hand on his wrist caressed his backside, moving up and down in languid strokes.

“What do you think you are doing, kitsune?” Hiei whispered as he moved closer. His eyes were hazy and unfocused.

Kurama didn’t respond. He just wished Hiei had disappeared and that none of this took place. He was supposed to be home alone, preparing a victory lunch for Yusuke. Instead his damn inner demon thought it best to conjure their heat thus attracting a certain fire demon who should not have been around. The weight of the bed shifted and he was on his back. The initial shock wore off and Kurama’s mind went into defense mode. He saw the way Hiei looked at him, as if he were not in total control. He also took in the glazed over look in his eyes.

‘He wants his turn with me. I cannot let him. I belong with Yusuke now.’ Kurama pushed himself off the bed. ‘Whatever happens after this day, I know it will never be the same again. Thanks to you, you damned fox.’ Youko growled low and closed his eyes shutting Kurama out.

He felt dirty. He stood with his back towards the door. He touched his face and felt the wetness, he was crying and he was pissed. ‘Damn these hormonal outbursts and damn this heat you’ve caused nothing but problems! And what is worst, you are only beginning!’

He slowly backed towards the door, Hiei watching his movements carefully before bounding from the bed and tackling the fox to the floor. Only he landed with a thud in the empty space where Kurama once stood.

“Hiei…listen we are not together any longer…what that was…well you said it so yourself…it was a reaction from my heat…please Hiei don’t do this…it won’t end well…” Kurama pleaded as he tried to speak through his anguish.

‘Forgive me Hiei.’ Kurama said as he saw no reasoning with the wound up demon. He pulled a seed from his hair, willed it to grow, and used the long vine to wrap and subdue Hiei. He cried out in pain as the thorns pierced his flesh. His eyes brimmed with annoyance as he struggled to break free. Kurama took his chance to escape, dashing down the stairs with lighting speed. ‘I’m so sorry…’

“Fox!” Hiei growled out. “You’ll pay for that. I let you fuck me, now I’m going fuck you. Get your ass back here!” He yelled.

He made it to the last step when he felt a familiar ki approaching the house. Panic struck him as his brain went blank for a spilt second.

‘Oh shit. Not now! You can’t come home now.’

He was brought back to reality when he heard the loud thumps and Hiei’s angry growls from upstairs. He thought about placing the fire demon in a closet or dropping him off in the nearby park but as it seemed his lover decided to reach for the door. He opened it for him, and flung himself in Yusuke’s arms.

FLASHBACK Ended^^

“The front door opened and you were there. That is what happened, Koi. Please forgive me. I tried my best…I really tried…my…best…” Kurama held to Yusuke for dear life, fresh tears running down his face. ‘Please kami…let him…forgive me…’
