I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho

Riding the Wave of Life Chapter nineteen

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"What will I give him? He has everything he wants, needs and just extra. What could I possibly do? I only have today to think of something." He groaned.

For the whole day he was trying to come up with ideas or anything special he can do for Hiei, but he couldn't think of anything.

"This is bad." He sighed as he hit his head repeatedly on his desk.

When his day was over, he walked to his car and smiled lovingly at it. 'My own car.' He thought happily as he got in. The roses were still sitting in the passenger seat and he took it and smelled it and sighed. He then took the note and read it again, smiling wider as he read it. He sighed as he thought hard.

"I need professional help for this." He said as he started the car and drove home. The car worked like a dream. Luxury is good, not necessary but it feels good, who would say no to pampering, anyway. He stopped when he was almost in the estate. A thought came to him as he pulled over and parked on the side of the road for a while as he reached in the back and grabbed his laptop from his bag and went online for his expert help. He smiled and then made a U-turn to get his supplies.

When he arrived home, he asked Hideo to help him with the things and talked to him about his plans. Hideo smiled and nodded and then Kurama went to take a shower. He then sat down on the bed and took out his laptop to do all his needed school work instead of waiting for the weekend. Their anniversary was officially going to be the next day, so he was going to make sure nothing was going to get in their way. He sat there writing his thesis, and then switched to studying, and then to the class he was teaching. It was his turn to come up with questions for the exams. He smiled at the thought of when he used to help Hiei with his. Those were good times. Taking out the text book he used for the class, he flipped through the book to get ideas on what he should ask.

Around eleven pm, Hiei walked into the room. Today was the first day he started going into the office and not staying all day in his study. Kurama didn't look up because he was in deep thought as he stared from the computer screen to the textbook repeatedly as he tapped his pencil on his chin.

"What are you doing?" Hiei asked tiredly and Kurama looked stunned up at him.

"You're home? I didn't see you before, where were you?" Kurama asked as he watched Hiei take off his blazer and black jersey.

"I went into the office today." He sighed as he rubbed his shoulder.

"Is it something you must do now?" he asked as he turned back to his textbook and flipped the page.

"It is best this way. There is only so much I can do at home. I'm going to take a shower." He said and he departed to the bath room.

"Alright." Kurama waved with the pencil in his mouth as he typed. Almost down with the test, he looked up and saw Hiei as he emerged from the bathroom. He was just wearing his pyjama pants still rubbing his shoulder. He sighed and sat down on his side of the bed.

"Is something wrong with your shoulder?" Kurama asked as he saved the document and shut down the laptop.

"Just a bit sore. What were you doing?" He said as he looked over his shoulder and then bended his knee as he scooted on the bed while one foot dangled of.

"I was making up an exam to give in to the department on Monday." Kurama said as he got up and put his laptop and text book in his school bag and hung it back into the closet.

"Hn, how do you like it? I'm relieved I don't have to do that ever again." He smirked at Kurama and Kurama went on the bed, kneeling behind to him as he hugged him from behind, encircling his arms around his shoulders.

"It's not bad. I liked helping you better." He smiled against his neck.

"Really, is that why you always sat on my desk? Why did you start doing that?" Hiei turned to the side a bit.

"I have no idea. I was attracted to you back then, even though I denied it to myself and I felt happy to be around you, well after you stopped annoying me and ceased being an insensitive jerk." Kurama said and Hiei smirked.

"You were just being too sensitive then. I speak the truth, it is a harsh thing to hear, and I did like when you get all rattled up." He confessed with a grin.

"You're so mean." Kurama pretended to be hurt.

"And I liked staring at your butt too." He grinned and Kurama blushed.

"Anyway, how was your day?" Kurama asked as he smiled against his neck as he nuzzled it.

"I had to use every ounce of my patients and my shoulder feels stiff." He sighed as he leaned against Kurama.

"Well." Kurama paused as he kissed the junction of Hiei's neck. "Since you gave me an early anniversary, maybe it's time for yours." Kurama grinned.

"It's only fair." Hiei said smirking and then he felt Kurama leave the bed to go to the closet. He rummaged through something and came back to the bed with a bottle.

"I have a surprise for you." Kurama smiled as he hugged Hiei again form the back as he caressed his chest always loving the feel of it. A half naked Hiei is the only thing he can stare at all day and all night, well eventually he would love to see the rest of the clothes disappear. He shook away his not so clean thoughts away as he nuzzled Hiei's neck, still caressing and running his hands all over the divine and well sculpted body.

"Is the surprise, you molesting me?" Hiei asked in amusement.

"No, well..." Kurama paused as he grinned. "I like the sound of that but I will not be molesting you, you'll enjoy it too much for that to be a crime anyway." Kurama said chuckling and he bought the bottle into Hiei's view.

"Heating Massaging oil?" Hiei turned and looked at Kurama who was grinning.

"Yup." He chirped happily.

"Well, I will not object." Hiei said with a grin on his face. Kurama rocked back on his heel as he opened the bottle and poured a few drops from one shoulder straight across to the next and started rubbing it in.

"I actually bought two types of oil." Kurama said as he massaged Hiei and Hiei made an approving sound as he closed his eyes.

"What's the two?" Hiei asked as just relaxed as it became heated the more Kurama rubbed. It was relaxing the muscles as he began to slouch.

"This one, its lavender with camphor, for relaxation and with rubs, or friction, it increases molecular entropy, thus creating a heating affect. You can feel it right?" Kurama said as he inched closer to Hiei's ear and Hiei nodded with a pleasurable groan.

"The second, well that one is for stress relieving." He said with a passionate gleam in his eyes.

"I need some stress relieving now." Hiei moaned out contently as Kurama's hand went lower and massaging harder. Hiei shifted and lie down on his stomach and Kurama straddled his back, as he poured more oil and kept massaging as he added pressure.

"I do believe you're too tired for that kind of stress relieving." Kurama said as he bended down and kissed Hiei's neck.

"How are you so sure?" Hiei asked but his speech was dying.

"Because, this oil is potent and I can tell it is working. How do your shoulders feel?" Kurama asked as he got off him and rolled him over.

"Good." He sighed and watched Kurama who was grinning at him. "I feel drugged. What did you put in that oil?" He asked and Kurama grinned wider.

"Nothing, it just shows how well it works, just sleep. You deserve it." Kurama said as he leaned down and kissed him. He felt Hiei's hand moved up and rested on the back of his head, as he deepened the kiss and Kurama rolled on top of him straddling his waist. Kurama pulled away and looked down at him.

"Now that is a good welcome home." Hiei said as he caressed Kurama's knees and then his thigh while the other was playing with a strand of red hair. "I wish I didn't go into the office today. I would have saved some energy for you."

"Just sleep because you'll need it tomorrow." Kurama grinned mischievously down at Hiei and kissed him again.

"Perv." Hiei teased weakly and Kurama chuckled.

"Sleep well love." He said and got off Hiei as he got out of the bed, walking over to Hiei's side and covering him with blanket as he kissed him one more time. Kurama then took off the lamp on the night stand and crawled into bed as he wrapped his arms around Hiei's waist and rested his head on his shoulder as he too drifted off into sleep.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The next day Kurama was awaken by a delightfully long kiss. Smiling as he opened his eyes, he looked up and Hiei.

"Happy anniversary fox." He smirked.

"Happy anniversary to you too my passionate fire youkai." Kurama grinned as he sat up, and then Hiei lifted a tray from the floor and placed it on Kurama's lap.

"Breakfast in bed?" Kurama looked surprised, but happy. Hiei nodded. "You are going to help me, right?" Kurama asked as he took a quick glanced at all the food and then Hiei picked up the fork and jabbed piece of pancake, and then dipped it in strawberry puree.

"Open." He commanded and Kurama did as he was told and opened his mouth and took it and chewed. Taking a careful look at the plate, he looked at Hiei and laughed.

"They just had to be some violence even in breakfast, right." He said laughing as he looked at the pancakes that were shaped like gingerbread men with the lumpy strawberry puree looking like blood and bloody parts.

"I like to have fun with my food." Hiei grinned as he stabbed the ginger bread man and feed his heart to Kurama dripping with blood. Kurama just chuckled and shook his head at Hiei but accepted the food. Hiei sat there and fed Kurama and himself, somewhat, but mainly Kurama. He then moved on to the blood oranges as he fed it to Kurama.

"I sense a theme here." Kurama grinned and Hiei just shrug one shoulder but he was smirking.

"Want to try it in this?" Hiei said as he took a peg of the orange and dipped it in black looking goo that had a sticky consistency.

"What is that Hiei?" Kurama looked a bit disgusted as he made a face. Hiei smirked again.

'This is fun.' He thought as he held it up to Kurama's lips. "Do you trust me?" He asked seriously and Kurama stared at him for a while.

"Completely." As he said that he opened his mouth and took in the orange peg. As he bit into it, the blood looking juices slide down the side of his mouth to his chin.

"Mmhmm... Chocolate." Kurama melted and Hiei came closer to him and licked the juice trail all the way up to his mouth but then pulled away.

Hiei then fed it to himself and then back to Kurama. He watched as some of the melted chocolate run down his lips, slowing making its way down his jaw. Kurama took his figure and slowly ran it up the path of the chocolate and then licked his figure clean. He looked up and saw how Hiei was looking at him and smirked.

"You like that, didn't you." He said grinning and Hiei and he nodded with his mouth slightly open. Kurama dipped his finger into the chocolate and slowly licked it off his fingers again.

"You're just naturally seductive and you know how to use that." Hiei voiced in a low tone and Kurama winked at him and did it again.

"Fox." He moaned and shook his head as he looked down.

"Let's continue eating shall we." Kurama said abruptly as he took another peg and dipped it, then licking it clean and sucking it. He innocently looked at Hiei and grinned. Hiei was having a hard time to stay away.

"Fox, what are you trying to do to me." He said as Kurama winked at him again.

"Nothing Hiei, I'm just eating." He said innocently. "Is something wrong?" He said as he looked at Hiei through his bangs.

"You know very well what you're doing." Hiei glared, but it wasn't venomous and he was smirking.

"Well there is an activity we can do, if you want." Kurama said as he grinned suggestively at him.

"What is that?" Hiei asked truly curious what Kurama had p his sleeve. He knew it wasn't the obvious, no matter how much he'd hope it would be.

Kurama pushed the almost empty tray aside and got up. Hiei sat there watching him and Kurama held his hand and pulled him up. "We are going to the kitchen." Kurama chuckled.

"To do what?" Hiei asked as he was being guided to the kitchen.

"You'll see." Kurama chirped and stopped abruptly when he stepped into the kitchen as he looked around for Hideo.

"Ah, you here, good." Kurama said as he saw Hideo as he let go of Hiei's hand and went to him.

"Is everything ready?" He asked with a radiant smile.

"Yes, which one do you want now?" Hideo asked with a gentle smile.

"Chocolate." He said instantly. "It has a longer waiting time for it to be complete." Kurama explained.

"Which chocolate? You do have two consisting of chocolate." Hideo said as he pulled Kurama closer to him as he dropped his voice because Hiei was advancing on them.

"Can we do the Swiss then? Can you do the mousse for me, for later?" Kurama asked in a whisper.

"Consider it done." He said and then he took out a round tray from the fridge and a bottle of Kirsch, which is Cherry Brandy and a bottle of dry white wine and rest them on the counter.

"What is this?" Hiei asked as he walked to Kurama who was looking at all the ingredients to make sure everything was here.

"This is breakfast too, can't you see bread?" Kurama said with an amused laugh as he pointed to the cubed cut French bread.

"It's too late for breakfast." Hiei watched him and Kurama turned and pulled him closer to him as he kissed him gently.

"I have no sense of time today." Kurama grinned and pulled Hiei in a passionate kiss. Hiei stepped closer and trapped him against the counter as he responded until Hideo interrupted them, but Hiei wasn't bothered. Kurama pulled away and watched Hideo but Hiei just began trailing kisses down his jaw and neck and Kurama chuckled.

"Hiei, stop." Kurama said weakly between chuckling as he tried to wiggle away from Hiei.

"Why, because Hideo is here, you do know I don't mind." Hiei said with a grin and went back to his neck.

"But Hiei look, fire." Kurama grinned when Hiei quickly looked up. Hideo was bringing a fondue pot, and he rested it on the counter and lit it.

"It is ready, whenever you two are." He said with a smile and left.

"What's this?" Hiei looked at it and then at Kurama.

"We are going to make Swiss Fondue." Kurama said excitedly and Hiei gave him a mischievous look.

"Will I be able to lick it of you?" Hiei smirked when Kurama blushed a bit.

"If you like." Kurama smiled as pulled away from Hiei's grasp. "We just have to add things together, and that's it. I told Hideo to pre- measure everything because I know you wouldn't have patience for that." Kurama said with a grin as he turned to face the ingredients.

"You know me too well." Hiei answered and hugged Kurama from behind and nuzzled his neck. "I like this ingredient the best." Hiei said as he reached in front of Kurama and picked up the kirsch.

"Of course you would." Kurama laughed. "Don't try to get me drunk so soon, now." Kurama turned and watched him with a playful look. "Later." Then he winked. Hiei leaned in and kissed him again, turning him to face him and grinded against Kurama and into the counter. Kurama wrapped his hands around Hiei's neck, drawing him closer. Remembering what he had to do, Kurama pulled away, but then kissed Hiei again, and pulled away and kissed him again. When he pulled away the third time Hiei laughed.

"Alright this is the last one." Kurama grinned and kissed him again.

"Are you sure?" Hiei asked amused.

"No, but I have to learn self control." Kurama said as he turned away and pulled Hiei closer to the counter. "Alright, let's do this. We will need a saucepan and a bowl." Kurama said thoughtfully as he tried to remember the directions.

Hiei retrieved it and rested them on the counter, but then put the pan on the stove and turned it on.

"Alright, this is a quick recipe. I just have to rub the garlic in the saucepan and add the wine and the lemon juice and let it simmer." Kurama said as he did it, and then turned back to Hiei, who now held two wine glasses with a smirk.

"Let's not waste the rest of the bottle." He grinned and rest down the glass and took the bottle of the dry white wine and filled up both glasses. He then handed one to Kurama.

"You know we have to make sure this gets done right." He said as he sipped on the wine and rested it back on the counter, being careful as the glass hit the garnet top.

"Pass the bowl." Kurama said as he thought about what to do next and Hiei handed it to him, he added the cheeses and cornstarch and mixed it and slowly added it to the pan and stir a bit.

"Pass me the nutmeg and pepper." Kurama said as he kept eyes on the pot and Hiei handed it to him and he added it in. "The only thing is the kirsch." Kurama smiled but then Hiei took it and he had the liberty of pouring it in, and pour he did.

"Hiei, we only needed a tablespoon." Kurama looked at Hiei and shook his head.

"The more the better, besides what can one table spoon do, this is not medicine." Hiei said as he splashed a bit more in the pot.

"Junky stop." Kurama laughed and grabbed the bottle from Hiei and held it behind his back.

"I should wrestle you for it." Hiei said in a low voice as he came up close to Kurama.

"What can you do, junky." Kurama smirked and sized up against him.

"Watch that pretty mouth of yours." Hiei said as he inched closer to Kurama's face.

"Oh so you think I'm pretty. Sorry but I don't date guys, especially ones like you." Kurama said as he pretended to walk away.

"Oh no you don't." Hiei said and he pulled him back and Kurama held the bottle away from Hiei as much as possible, leaning over the counter and laughing when Hiei started poking him.

"Hiei, stop, you're tickling me." Kurama laughed as he held the bottle out at arm's length.

"Pass the bottle." Hiei said grinning as Kurama tried to keep him from it. He didn't want the brandy but who would not find a reason to 'play' with Kurama.

"You're playing dirty." Kurama laughed out as he was climbing on the counter trying to get away from Hiei's roaming hand.

"As if you're so clean." He said as slapped his butt and Kurama turned sharply.

"Hiei! We forget the pot on fire." Kurama said as he pushed Hiei off and hurried off the counter and began stirring the pot and turning off the fire. He bought the pot over to the ceramic fondue pot and spooned it in and put the saucepan in the sink to soak.

"Alright, it's done." He said as saw Hiei finish his glass of wine and Kurama gave him a look with a raised brow.

"It's to drink." Hiei said nonchalantly as he picked up a skew with a gleam in his eyes.

"Why did I allow him to drink and give him a sharp object with hot substances?" Kurama said with fake exasperation as he gulped down his wine and re-fill both of their glasses.

"Come over here and get naked." Hiei said boldly.

"HIEI, we're in the kitchen." Kurama looked at him amused and shocked.

"So, Hideo knows not to come around us today, except if we need something." Hiei informed as he took a cube of the French bread and dipped it into the fondue pot, twisting it a bit as to not to make a mess of it dripping and put it in his mouth. His raised a brow in surprise at the taste.

"How is it?" Kurama asked as he went closer to him.

"Hō." He breathed out slowly through his mouth and looked at Kurama. "I can feel the alcohol evaporating through my mouth and nose." He turned to Kurama.

"Of course you will, you put more than half bottle of brandy in it. I'm surprised it didn't ruin it." Kurama said as he too tasted it. "Yea it's ruined."

"No it's not." Hiei said as he kept dipping. He wrapped his arm around Kurama's waist and pulled him closer. He unbuttoned the top if his pyjama shirt, then took piece of bread, all this time Kurama was not paying Hiei much attention as he continue to eat, because he didn't expect him to do anything but to get drunk of the fondue. Taking the bread, Hiei dipped it in the pot and then using it as a sponge; he wiped it on Kurama's neck and trailed it down to his sternum.

"Ah, Hiei that's hot." Kurama jumped, but Hiei's hand prevented him from moving too far. Hiei came closer and blew on his neck and the sensation of it cooling on his skin caused him to shiver. Hiei began to lick it off but luckily it didn't lick of clean the first time. He licked and sucked Kurama's neck and then trailed down to his throat. Kurama soon forgot about the pain and was clutching Hiei close with his head tilted up as he moaned out his appreciation. Hiei backed him against the island as he kept sucking it off. He reached for the skew and dipped the bread in again and rubbed it all over Kurama's chest and Kurama sighed. The heat was a bit arousing especially knowing what Hiei would do. Hiei licked and sucked every inch of his chest and Kurama didn't know when they ended up on the floor, but his back was now pressed against the cold marble floor with Hiei looking over him, licking him all over.

"Ah... Hiei." Kurama moaned out when Hiei came back up and spread more fondue on his neck and began attacking it.

"You taste good, fox." He grinned showing fangs, knowing very well that it's the first time he allowed Kurama to see it.

"Hiei." Kurama voiced out breathless s he stared in awe as he reached up and passed his hand in Hiei's hair. "You're...breathtaking." he said breathlessly.

"Hn, took you long enough to notice." He smirked showing his fangs again. "You're beautiful."

"Took you long enough to acknowledge." Kurama smiled up him and pulled him down for a kiss.

Grinding their hips together, Hiei deepened the kiss and Kurama moaned in his mouth. Kurama reached for the drawstring if Hiei's pyjama pants and untied it as Hiei grabbed onto his thighs making space for himself between them. Kurama pulled away panting.

"Hiei, I don't want to get naked on this cold hard floor." Kurama looked at him and he could see Hiei was feeling the same intensity he was felling.

Hiei pulled him up and as he rocked back on his knees, causing Kurama to be on his lap.

"Better?" Hiei smirked at him as he went foe the neck, creating hickeys. He reached for Kurama's pants but stop. "Maybe you should stop wearing pants." He said as he pulled away.

"I am not going to wear a skirt." Kurama looked down at him, panting a bit as he tried to scoot away as he took off his pants.

"I didn't say to wear one, but I wouldn't object." He grinned when Kurama gave him a serious look. "Fine, then I'll get you a kilt instead." He grinned wider. "That's all they wear, no underwear." He smirked when Kurama shook his head and tried not to laugh.

"How do you know these things?" Kurama said amused as he sat back on Hiei's hips and kissed him passionately. Hiei supported him by putting his hands on the small of his back. He pushed him up closer as Kurama tightened his legs around Hiei's waist. Kurama clawed Hiei's back as Hiei pushed him down on him, just causing friction. He pulled away and sighed deeply.

"Hiei..." He said with his head thrown back and Hiei took that opportunity to kiss his neck all the way up to his lips and kissed him again. Kurama pulled away again as his mouth dropped open when he rotated his hips against Hiei's.

"Uh..." He looked down at Hiei a bit annoyed. "What are you waiting for, an invitation?" Kurama snapped a bit bothered as he moved a few inches away from Hiei.

"Fine." Hiei said as he freed himself and pulled Kurama back on him as the fox lowed himself on him with his back arched, eyes closed and mouth gaped.

"Ah... yes..." he sighed out as he looked at Hiei and kissed him as he went all the way down, now fully seated. Hiei gave a small trust and Kurama broke the kiss.

"Uh..." he moaned as Hiei started moving, thrusting up against him as he return with more force downwards.

"Damn, you're coming down hard." Hiei suddenly said as he stood up with Kurama and placed him in one of the high stool, not breaking they connection. Kurama was now between Hiei and the island as Hiei began to thrust into him again as he kissed Kurama with vigour and unspeakable passion. And then Hideo walked in on them.

"Sir...uh..." he started but quickly turned away from the erotic sight of Kurama intertwined oh so passionately with his legs around Hiei, back arched, moaning as he grip one hand on the counter and one clawing on Hiei shoulder as Hiei kept thrusting into him with his hands on Kurama thighs, holding him in place. He couldn't stop blushing when he heard the pleasurable moans from Kurama. You had to be made of stone not to be affected by that. When he heard Kurama enthusiasm he couldn't help but to be proud of Hiei.

"Out... later." Hiei managed to say as he watched Hideo and he just walked out, redden face but pretended he didn't see anything. Kurama was oblivious to what just occurred as he panted his passion and the building intensity that was bottling up inside of him. Hiei gripped his thighs harder as he increased his pace.

"Harder...uhhhhaahhhh... Hiei..." Kurama moaned and Hiei complied as he pulled him closer to his body. After a few more passionate outbursts, they climaxed. Kurama rested his head on Hiei's shoulder as he panted. Hiei leaned against Kurama as he began to calm his breathing. When then were calmer, Hiei pulled out and fixed his pants and then looked at Kurama.

"I have to go see what Hideo wanted, fix your shirt." He said and kissed Kurama.

"What?" Kurama asked confused as he sat there and buttoned up his pyjama top and Hiei handed him the pants.

"He came in a while ago." Hiei smirked when Kurama eyes widen.

"WHAT, SO HE SAW..."

"Yes." Hiei smirked again as caressed Kurama's cheek. "Don't think about it. I'll be back." He said with a grin and left a reddened in embarrassment Kurama behind.

A few minutes later, he came back. "Your mother called." He said as he handed the hand held phone to Kurama.

"Oh, alright, I'll make it quick then." He smiled and took the phone.

"No, take your time." Hiei said as he kissed Kurama's cheek and left.

He dialled the number and called her back.

"Hello mother, how are you today?" he asked with a smile as he thought of her.

"Hello dear, I'm great, thanks for asking. I just was calling to know if you would want to do something for me and maybe stay for dinner. It's been a while since I've seen you." She told him and he could tell she was excited about him coming over, as always.

"I'm sorry but Hiei and I are celebrating our one year dating anniversary." He couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, I see. Does that mean I cannot have at least two hours of your time?" She asked expectantly.

"I'm sorry. I'm spending the whole day with him. It's been a while since we spend a day with each other, with me back in school now and Hiei being busy as ever." He informed as he shifted a bit on the stool.

"Dear this is really important." She continued.

"Hiei is important mother. I know there are other days we can do this. Hiei and I will only be able to celebrate this once, also what about Kazuya-san." He said sternly.

"Alright. I'll see if he can do it for me, but I doubt it." She answered defeated. "Just be careful." She added.

"Be careful of what, mother." He sighed. She was being difficult as always.

"Are you two sexually active?" She asked softly over the phone.

"Yes mother." He answered feeling very uncomfortable. They've just finished and now he's talking to his mother about being active.

"Are you using protection?" She questioned motherly.

"No." He said bluntly as he leaned on the counter with an exasperated sigh and then he slowly pulled the phone from his ear and waited.

"WHAT! I THOUGHT YOU BETTER THAN THAT SHUICHI." She yelled.

"I just don't want to use any." He said stubbornly. "Nothing will happen to us. We're not human."

"It is better to be safe than sorry." She lectured.

"Mother if anything DOES happen, we can handle it, we're adults." He assured.

"I just worry about you, especially since you decided you wanted to move out, and away from me." She said in a sadden voice.

"That was so long ago." He sighed again.

"I know but, alright dear I'll stop then." She gave in.

"Thank you mother. I don't want to stay too long. Hiei will be back anytime soon." He said as he looked around for Hiei.

"Alright dear. Take care, alright."

"I will mother, thanks for caring." He smiled and bit her farewell as he hung up the phone. He sighed when he thought about what just happen as he looked at his half naked self.

Hiei went to talk to Hideo for a while, and then he sneaked a peak at Kurama and saw he was still on the phone, so he rushed up to the room. When he came back, Kurama was done.

Hiei walked up to him, Kurama was looking down at his intertwined figures on his naked thighs.

"What's wrong? Did she bother you?" Hiei asked as he put his hand under his chin and raised his head up to look at him.

"It's not her. It's just that I feel so naughty doing it in the kitchen." Kurama confessed as he tried to hide his face and Hiei grinned.

"Why?"

"I don't know. It just seemed as something to do only in the bedroom." He finally glanced at Hiei.

"There is no need to feel that way. You can be as naughty as you want in your own home. It's your private dwelling. You have to be decent and proper out there, but in here, anything goes." Hiei said as he caressed Kurama cheeks.

"It's just... it was different." He sighed.

"Different is good, now let's go up stairs." Hiei said as he helped Kurama off the stool as he grabbed his pants and them both went up to the room.

"Is she alright?" Hiei asked as they walked to the room.

"Yes, she just needed help with something, but I turned her down." Kurama smiled at him.

Hiei guided Kurama to the bathroom and Kurama was delightfully surprised.

"What's this?" Kurama asked with a huge grin on his face as he watched Hiei.

"Like it?" Hiei asked as he guided Kurama in the candle lit bathroom.

"Love it." Kurama said as he looked at the roomy tub, covered in rose petals, red and black, with red wine on the edge of the jet tub. Kurama then turned to Hiei with a radiant smile. "Did you do this all by yourself?" He asked as he wrapped his hair up in a messy bun.

"Yes." Hiei replied proudly.

"Thank you Hiei." Kurama leaned in and kissed him gently.

Hiei pulled away after a while and helped Kurama out of his clothes as well as himself. He stepped into the tub and held his hand out for Kurama and he took it and let Hiei guide him in. Hiei sat down with one leg bend and one flat as he allowed Kurama to sit between them as he leaned against his chest. Resting his head against Hiei's shoulder, he looked around the bathroom as Hiei encircled his waist with his hand.

"Hiei, I'm sorry I don't have much to give you." Kurama started.

"You gave me too much." Hiei stated as he kissed his neck.

"How? I didn't give you much. I really didn't." Kurama sighed as he closed his eyes.

"You gave me a relaxing welcome home. You taught me how to make fondue and you're giving me your time. You chose spending time with me as oppose to your mother." Hiei answered.

"But how can I compete with what you gave me." Kurama said as he bit his lips.

"I gave you something you could do without; you gave me something that is priceless, and more important than anything in the world." Hiei answered as he rested his chin against Kurama's shoulders.

"Really?" Kurama was getting happy as he slid down into the water and rested his head on Hiei's chest.

"Yes. I have almost everything I could possibly want and need. I didn't expect anything from you." Hiei answered truthfully.

"Almost everything? What could you be missing?" Kurama asked as he glanced up at him.

"Don't worry about it." Hiei said as he pulled Kurama closer to him.

"Oh I almost forgot the oil." Kurama said as he was about to get up but Hiei pulled him back.

"What oil?" He questioned with a hint of confusion.

"The other one I bought, it's for bath time." Kurama clarified as he got up and wrapped a robe around himself as he left to go in search of it. He came back with the bottle and smiled at Hiei.

"What does this do exactly?" He asked as he watched Kurama pour some in the water.

"They claim that it is stress relieving." He paused and looked at the bottle. "Hmm... a neuro –sensitizer, that's one of the ingredient. I wonder how it would affect us." Kurama said as he added more in the water, then covered the bottle and submerged back into the water with Hiei, in his previous position.

Kurama began to relax again, as Hiei handed him a glass of the red wine.

They relax and talk about any and everything as they finished the bottle of wine.

"I'm getting wrinkled." Kurama chuckled as he lazily lifted his fingers into Hiei's view.

"Then let's get out. Let's see if Hideo cook yet. I'm getting hungry." Hiei said as he nudged Kurama to get off him as they both tried to get up from the tub without falling. Hiei grabbed the robe and wrapped it around Kurama, and then took his own as they went to change.

"I'm going to wear black just for you." Kurama smiled at Hiei as he put on black tank and a black silk shirt over it, buttoning it up half way. He took out black a pair of black slacks that was more fitted than slack.

"Then it is only fair that I wear red." Hiei smirked at Kurama as ran his hands over Hiei's red shirt, feeling the muscles beneath it, caressing all over his divine 'worthy to be set in fine marble' chest.

"I think I'm feeling the oils effect." Kurama said as he pulled away. His hands began to tingle.

"You can stay here if you want." Hiei grinned and left the room and Kurama ran behind him.

"Hiei, wait for me." Kurama called out but then he caught up with him.

When they reached in the dining hall, Kurama looked around astonished.

"Hiei, do you have a theme going for today?" Kurama asked suddenly, after seeing the blood red table cloth with black goblets and charger plates. The only light source was two wrought iron candle holders nesting the candles as they burn.

"Why such a question?" Hiei asked as he pulled out the chair for Kurama.

"Well, it seems as if you're saying something with these blood hints. Is it blood?" Kurama looked up at him as he smirked and walked over to the other side of the table and took his seat.

"A theme? Why would I do that?" Hiei was looking at Kurama very amused. Of course he had a theme, but why would he tell Kurama now?

"It just seems so, with breakfast and now. The only things you actually had control over." Kurama explained with a smile. Kurama looked at Hiei as if he was up to something. "You look guilty."

"Why are you even on that topic still? So what if I do?" Hiei watched Kurama with a glint in his eyes as the candle light flicker casting a warm amber glow over the two, creating the illusion of them glowing in the now darken dining hall. Suddenly a black shadow emerged from the darkness and the identity was only revealed when the figure reached a foot away from the table.

"Dinner is served." Hideo said as he rested their dinner in front of them and giving Kurama a spooky look and Kurama flinched.

"Eh?" He said and turned to Hiei. When Hideo left Kurama cautioned himself before saying something.

"Hiei, did you see the look he gave me. It was creepy." Kurama whispered as he inched over the table closer to Hiei in case Hideo was lurking around.

"I didn't see anything." Hiei said as he uncovered his dinner. He tried not to grin. He did put Hideo up to it. He wanted to create a spooky atmosphere, why? It wasn't because he was evil. It was because he enjoys the look on Kurama's face when he is being scared and cautious. He just seems so much more sensitive, not in a feminine way, just sensitive, physically not emotionally. He was doing it for his enjoyment, if one would like to take it to a more serious term, it could be called a fetish, weird fetish, but it was something he delighted himself in, Kurama all bothered and jumpy. The oil was working; he was feeling more sensitive, so he knew Kurama was also. It took a while to work, but its working.

"Oh wow, great selection." Kurama said mainly to himself as he looked at the food. It was rabbit. It just had to be Hiei to give a fox a rabbit, how romantic. The dish was braised rabbit in a red wine reduction sauce and grilled vegetables, and of course with a medium bodied red wine. All through the dinner, he tried not to laugh at Kurama's expression when he heard something go bump in the dark. He almost jumped when suddenly music was turned on. His senses were so mixed up; he couldn't tell which direction the music was coming from.

As they were finished, Hideo appeared behind Hiei.

"Gosh!" Kurama exclaimed. "Can you stop doing that?" Kurama clutched his chest and Hiei smirked. Hideo stayed in character and did not smile; his pale face looked like a floating head as he spoke.

"I will be serving a palate cleanser before dessert. " He said as he took away their empty plates and left.

"Kurama, are you alright?" Hiei asked trying not to laugh.

"Yes, yes. I'll be fine." Kurama said panting a bit as he watched Hiei. "What are you up to?" He narrowed his glare.

"Why do you think I'm up to something?" Hiei asked grinning.

"You're enjoying my discomfort, aren't you." He asked and Hiei gave him a very amused look. "You evil demon." Kurama said but then stopped. "Of course you are." He sighed.

"Kurama, let your senses take over." Hiei grinned and then Hideo appeared, with oysters still attached with their shell.

"Here." He said and placed a round tray of eight oysters and an aged champagne. "I recommend doing a shot of the oyster then the champagne." He said as he vanished.

Kurama took one, loosen it and poured some of the champagne in it and slurped it in one go. He looked at Hiei who just watched him.

"You swallowed it whole?" Hiei looked at Kurama with a somewhat shocked look.

"That's what you're supposed to do." Kurama said nonchalantly as he took another.

"How did it taste with the champagne like that?" he asked watching Kurama as he prepared on and handed over to him.

"Try it, it's good, and it's also an aphrodisiac, as they say." Kurama grinned widely.

"I don't think I need help with that." He gave Kurama a 'sexy' look as he took the oyster shot.

After a very interesting conversation of why aphrodisiac is not really needed to start any of them, Hideo appeared behind Kurama and touched his shoulder. Kurama almost fell of the chair. He was startled.

"Dessert." Hideo said as he rested a small bowl of chocolate mousse in front of Kurama and another in front of Hiei. Then he was gone again and Kurama looked at Hiei.

"Is he a demon that I am not aware off, you know, a demon butler from hell or something." Kurama asked cautiously as he looked around.

"He's good and I trust him." Hiei answered not directly answering his question.

"I do as well." Kurama said. 'But I've never really thought of it. I just assume he'd be human. What is he? Is he or is he not?' Kurama took his spoon and dug into the mousse and a red viscous liquid squirted up and the mousse began to bleed.

"Wah... that's not the recipe I gave him." Kurama said as he got over his initial shock of a bleeding desert.

"You've seen worse." Hiei said grinning as he tried the mousse. "I like your dessert idea, just thought I'd put a 'creative' spin on it." He grinned evilly. "Just take your time and eat it."

"I have seen worse, I just do not expect it in food, as a romantic gesture." He paused. "But somehow it is doing something to me." He grinned at Hiei as he tasted it. "Oh very good, a great take on strawberries and chocolate." He said and then he felt his body give a delightful chill. He could blame his sensitivity on the oil, all that alcohol, the food, the oysters, this, everything, but he didn't care, he was experiencing bliss and in the dark with just candle light and a handsome specimen such as Hiei as the only distraction of his heightening senses, just make him want to ravish the dessert and Hiei at the same time. He smiled knowing he just have about ten more minutes to be civilised and dainty, until they leave the dining room for their secluded haven of overflowing passion and desire.

Getting lost in his oral orgasm, he felt something hard cling against his teeth. Having a puzzled expression, he fished it out and looked extremely bewildered at the object. He thought he was seeing things as he shook his head and squeezed his eyes shut, but it was what he saw in the beginning. A ring, a fine platinum ring with small white diamonds encrusted in it occupying half of the ring's circumference. His mouth dropped as it finally hit him and he looked at Hiei.

"Hiei..." he lost his voice when Hiei looked up at him and smirked at him with the ring in his hand. "Is this..." He trailed off, his hands now shaking, trembling with the ring, as he waited for Hiei to clarify what was happening.

"Yes. Will you?" Hiei asked as he put down his spoon and stood up then walked to Kurama, holding his other hand. He pulled Kurama in a standing position as Kurama seemed to be in shock. Hiei caressed his cheeks as he held on to his hand.

"Yes." He whispered as Hiei took the ring from him and gently placed it on his ring finger. Kurama looked down mechanically at the ring on his finger, staring at it for a while, as it sank in. He shot up his head and gave Hiei a huge smile.

"Of course Hiei, I can't believe it." He cried and he lunged forward and gave Hiei a crushing hug.

Hiei released the breath he was holding as he returned the hug. Releasing him, Hiei looked at him. "Did you read what's inside?"

"Uh, there is an inscription?" he asked as he took out the ring.

"Yes, it's the theme." He grinned.

"I knew you had a theme." Kurama yelled out happily as he looked inside the ring and read. "Till death do us part." He watched Hiei lovingly. "Hiei."

"Now I have everything I want." Hiei gave a small smile and Kurama couldn't help but to kiss him. Hiei held onto his waist as he deepened the kiss. He backed him onto the table as they devoured each other. Both skins were thirsty for the others touch and hands began to roam. They finally pulled away.

"Do you want to forget about dessert?" Hiei asked a bit breathless as he gazed at Kurama's flushed face.

"Yes, but save it for tomorrow. It tastes good." Kurama said as he jumped off the table as he pulled Hiei to the bedroom. On their way, Hiei yelled for Hideo to pack the mousse away.

As they entered the room, they were kissing as Hiei backed him on to the bed as he clawed away their clothing. Now on the bed, completely nude, Hiei deepened the kiss as he moved his hips slowly against Kurama's as he parted his legs and moaned out when Hiei fell between them as he caused friction. Hiei trailed down kissed from his jaw to his chest and all over and Kurama tremble with new heightened sensations. Every nerve was humming a tune of passion and ecstasy as he arch up against Hiei.

"Uhh...mmm." He moaned out as he bends his knees and Hiei crawled back up to his lips, kissing him again with a fiery passion. Grabbing a firm hold of his waist, he pushed in. Kurama tried to pull away from the kiss, but Hiei held him. He felt deprived of oxygen but he was beginning to get a light headed feeling. Hiei finally pulled away and Kurama took a deep breath as Hiei began to move faster and harder. Pressing his head deep into the bed, he held on to Hiei, gripping his back and shoulder as Hiei added more force to his thrust causing the bed to move with them. Kurama screamed out as Hiei increased his pace and lifted his slender hip a bit, as he abandoned all restraint as he spread his legs wider.

"Uh.. Hiei...ohh...ahh... ahh." Kurama moaned out as he began breathing through his mouth. Hiei looked down at Kurama, taking in every inch of his beautifully flushed body as he gripped his hip with one hand and held himself up with another. Kurama seemed to be caught up with his head thrown back, eyes shut and mouth open. He couldn't vocalise anything, just panting and breathing hard. What happened next took Hiei by surprise. The more vigorous he thrust, the more it seemed as if Kurama's hair was changing. He paused for a minute to see if it was just him going crazy in euphoria. Kurama was now a blend of his human and Youko self as he opened his eyes and looked at Hiei, there were gold as Kurama smiled up at Hiei lovingly.

"Why... why ...d-did you... sstttooopppp." He sighed out and breathing at the same time. Hiei bend down and kissed him as he carry on, going harder and more vigorous as ever as it seemed that Kurama found his voice again as he began to scream with every thrust, louder and louder, which cheered Hiei on. Hiei held on the Kurama, almost painfully as he felt the end, as he continued to reach for the end.

"Uhh uh uh... AHHHH... HIEI!" Kurama yelled out as he melted into the bed, just panting as Hiei kept on. A few thrust later and Hiei released and he collapse on Kurama, with a delightful sigh. They rested for about ten minutes trying to get their breathing under control after that experience. Hiei lifted himself up and gave Kurama a sweet short kiss as he pulled away and took some of the red and silver strands in his hand.

"Woah." He said as he showed it to Kurama. Kurama smiled as he inspected it.

"It was so deep you woke up the Youko in me." He said lazily with a satisfying expression.

"That means I did good." Hiei smirked. "Golden eyes." He said softly as he caressed the side of Kurama's face. Kurama reached up and held Hiei's hand in his and kissed it. He caught a glimpse of the ring and a wave of pleasure ran through him. Hiei noticed him staring at it.

"Like it?" He asked as he bends down and kissed his neck.

"Not as much as I love you." Kurama sighed out as Hiei sucked on his neck, leaving hickeys behind.

"Really?" Hiei looked up at him as Kurama blended fully to his Youko form.

"Really." Kurama smiled as he pulled Hiei down for a kiss and flipped them over. Kurama pulled away and smirked down at Hiei as he straddled him.

"Beautiful Youko." Hiei breathe out as he touched his hair and trailed his hands down his neck and chest and rested one on Kurama's thigh and the other on his slender waist. Hiei caressed his thigh gently as his hands roamed until it was on Kurama's butt, rubbing it smoothly.

"It's my first time, so please be gentle." Youko Kurama said as he winked down at Hiei.

"You wouldn't want it gentle by the time I let you have it." Hiei smirked as he toppled him on the bed and grinned down at him.

"Oh prove it then." Youko Kurama challenged as he pulled Hiei down for a kiss as he shifted between those long smooth legs. It took Youko fifteen seconds after until he begged for more. That night there was no sleeping.

Hideo passed by the room very late, just doing his rounds before going to bed and shook his head very amused after he heard such a crescendo of passionate vocal outburst, mostly from Kurama. He went downstairs and grabbed two bottles of water and placed it by their door and knocked then left.

A few minutes later Hiei went to the door and he saw the water bottles. He shook his head in amusement as he picked it up and closed the door and walked back to a very almost sated Youko.

"It seems as if Hideo thought we'd get thirsty." He grinned knowing that Kurama grasp both meanings.

"That's why we are still quenching it." He sat up and grabbed Hiei's hand pulling him down on top of him again.

They finally went to bed as the sun was rising, and Kurama was back to his redheaded self as he was sleep on Hiei's chest.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

On Sunday, they woke up in time to eat and then went back to sleep. Hiei made sure to tell Hideo to jam the phone lines so no one would wake them.

It was now Monday morning and Kurama was ready to go to school. Hiei was already ready as he walked into the room.

"You're still getting ready?" Hiei smirked as he wrapped his arms around his waist bringing him closer as he kissed him lightly.

"Yes, don't you want me to look good?" Kurama teased as he wrapped his arm around his neck.

"Only for me, not for others eyes." He said possessively.

"No one can ever touch me, and I will not allow it." Kurama assured as he kissed him deeply. Hiei broke the kiss.

"If I don't leave now, we will both be late." Hiei said as he touched Kurama's face.

"We have time for one." Kurama tempted.

"Let's save our energy for tonight." Hiei grinned as he kissed Kurama gains and let him go.

"Fine." Kurama pouted, but smiled.

"Good, I'll see you tonight. Call me if you need anything." Hiei informed as he left. Kurama sighed happily as Hiei left. He finished dressed and headed out. When he was at a stop light, he smiled and sighed contented when he glanced at his hands on the staring wheel as the ring sparkled at him. It was more of an androgynous ring, even with the diamonds and it was thin enough not to overpower the look of his slender hand. He smiled again as he began to drive off.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

He was having lunch with Tokine as he always do and he knew she had a heap of questions for him. He walked it a minute late to class so she couldn't lecture him then and after he had to run off to the lab because he was running an experiment, which was the cause of him almost being late for class.

He smiled up at her as she sat on the opposite side of the table.

"So, explain the ring." She said bluntly as she sat down and watched it. She was smiling at him as she began to eat.

"Hiei gave it to me." He answered as he too began eating.

"So are you two officially together or something, married or something like that?" She asked curiously.

"Yea, you can say that." As he finished she squealed.

"Oh... I'm so happy for you."She said excitedly as a few patrons looked at her. She quickly calmed herself down.

"Thank you." Kurama said as he sipped on his drink. "I just have to tell..." He paused when his phone ring. "Her." He sighed when he saw it was his mother and he answered it.

"Moshi moshi." He greeted.

"Hello Shuichi." She greeted back.

"Hello mother, what can I do for you today?" he asked kind heartedly.

"I still need help with that thing." She started.

"I'll come by today because I have something important to tell you." He smiled as he felt the ring on his finger.

"Oh alright then, how about five?" She asked.

"Sounds good but I cannot stay long." He said.

"Alright dear, see you soon."

"Bye ." He said as he hung up. "I hope she will be happy for me." He sighed.

"She will, once she knows how happy you really are." Tokine said with reason.

"I hope so."

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

After school he went to her and helped her. It wasn't something big. He had a feeling she told him she was remodelling his room to see how he would feel about it and probably decide to come back, but his news to her took her by surprise.

"I'm really happy for you Shuichi." She said with a sad smile.

"Then why are you sad?" He watched her as they opened the paint.

"This means you don't intend to move back and you don't need me anymore. You're making a life for yourself, with Hiei, without me." She stopped and looked at him as he climbed on the ladder to paint the corner of the room.

"It does mean that, but I will always need my mother. You're gaining a son, you're not losing anything." He smiled at her.

"But I can't help how I feel. I don't even know Hiei only what you've told me." She told him as she dipped the paint brush and handed it to him as he outlined all the corners of the room, so it would be easy for her to use the roller.

"We can have little visits and you can come over as well." Kurama said thoughtfully.

"That sounds good." She sighed and Kurama climbed down from the ladder.

"Alright the hard work is done." He said looking around to the now peach lined room with baby blue filling.

"Thanks dear. Kazuya didn't want to take the chance with the ladder. He suffered a broken ankle a few years back." She smiled as she shook her head. "His stubbornness" She laughed and Kurama chuckled lightly.

"I have a break from school about two weeks from now. I will come by to get the rest of my things." He said to her as she hugged him.

"Alright dear." She hugged him tighter and kissed his cheeks as he said goodbye.

When he arrived home, Hiei was already there. He informed Hiei about his mother's reaction and about him getting his things. Hiei was glad to hear she was completely fine by that. It would not help Kurama if she wasn't and that could have a negative impact on their relationship. He even called Kuronue and Yomi to share his great news to them. Yomi was surprised and Kuronue wondered why it took Hiei so long, but they were truly happy for him.

A fortnight after Kurama was sound asleep. It was his break after all.

"Fox, wake up. We have to go to your mother's and it's almost lunch time." Hiei called as he shook Kurama's shoulder and he stirred awake.

"Finally? I thought your stomach grumbling would have wakened you a long time ago." Hiei smirked when Kurama smiled and stretch.

"Yes. I am famished. I felt like I haven't eaten in days." He sighed as he snuggles into the pillow.

"What do you want to eat?" Hiei ask as he began petting him.

"I don't know food." Kurama replied softly as he closed his eyes and buried his face into the pillow.

"I know you want food but what kind. What are you in the mood for." He asked but the answer he received rendered him speechless and no amount of preparing could have equipped him for Kurama's next shocking words. He would not have been affected so much by it if he didn't know the reason behind it.

"Peanut butter and pickles with cheese takoyaki."
