WARNING: Yaoi & lemon

Kurama waited for Karasu to show himself.  He ignored the sudden strong wind that nearly toppled him to the ground, fisting his hands to his sides.  He stiffened when strong hands grasped his waist.

"Ka-Karasu!"  Kurama spat the name and gritted his teeth when he was pulled in a tight embrace.  The youko cursed under his breath when he felt the youkai's wandering hands on his body.  Then surprisingly, his face went totally blank .

Karasu stared down at the beautiful face hungrily.  Kurama's body went slack in his arms.

"Beautiful, Kurama."  The violet-eyed youkai murmured throatily and sucked the pale skin of Kurama's slender neck, licking the skin with his ardent tongue.

In an instant the emerald eyes opened wide.   Karasu staggered back as his chest was pierced.  The youko's thorny whip quickly wrapped around his neck.   He looked up into the green eyes and snarled.  There was an unholy glint on their depths.  He heard the youko chuckle before his neck was squeezed tightly.

Hiei faltered in his descent at what he saw.  A dismembered and decapitated Karasu lay on the bloody ground.  Kurama was calmly brushing his tunic. The fire youkai's ruby eyes widened and he gazed speechlessly at the youko. Kurama stared at him with bored eyes.

"What's the matter, Hiei?  Haven't you seen a corpse before?"
Hiei glared at him.
Kurama smiled mockingly.  The roots of the plants surrounding Karasu's body pulled beneath, burying what was left of the youkai.  Then Kurama walked away giving Hiei a seductive glance.

"Were you following me?"  He asked softly, bending so that he was looking up into the almond eyes. Hiei stood stiffly, looking down at the youko.  He tried his best not to take a step back.  There was something about the youko.  He looked... dangerous and deliciously so.  Hiei's breath tightened on his chest when Kurama traced the perfect contours of his own lips with his pink tongue, slender hands brushed carelessly at his silky red hair.  He inched closer to the fire demon, inhaling Hiei's scent.

"I want you, youkai."  He said throatily and looked hard into the wide ruby eyes.  Hiei's chest heaved violently.  He took a step back and watched Kurama's slender arms encircled his waist.  He couldn't move.  He let out a harsh breath when he felt the youko's face plastered on his chest.  His body temperature rose alarmingly.

"Hiei..." The redhead murmured and placed a kiss on Hiei's left breast.

"Kurama...."  Hiei whispered in warning.  The hold on his waist merely tightened.

"Koibito."  Kurama gazed up adoringly at the fire demon.

Hiei shook his head.  This was going too fast.  Last time he saw the redhead they had exchanged bitter words and Kurama had been cold to him.  Why was this youko acting contrary now?  He shuddered when he felt warm hands wound their way inside his shirt.  His nipples were caressed provocatively.  Kurama embraced his hips, nuzzling his groin.  Hiei threw back his head, jerking violently.  The youko mouthed his covered arousal while the slender hands moved to squeeze his butt cheeks.  Hiei knew he was lost and he couldn't think anymore.  The starved youko had unfastened his belts and pulled down his pants.  Hiei rocked his hips as he was taken wholly by the sucking, nibbling mouth.  Nothing else mattered except that delicious hot cavern that engulfed him, licking and sucking and tasting his essence. 

He grabbed the youko's red hair, pushing Kurama's head against him.  He panted heavily, crying out Kurama's name softly and then harshly when the youko nipped him.  The youko crammed Hiei's length inside his mouth and sucked every hard, drinking down Hiei's essence.  The fire demon sagged in Kurama's arms.  The youko wrapped his arms around the fire demon and placed him on his lap.  Hiei moaned when he felt the redhead's hard length against his opening.  Kurama nuzzled his neck and pushed inside him.  Hiei planted his feet on the ground and pushed against the youko.

"Aaah!"  The redhead cried out harshly.  Hiei was so deliciously tight around his hot arousal; he almost came at once.  Shakily, the redhead urged Hiei to move.

"Ahn!"  Hiei groaned when the tip brushed against his inner walls.  The youko's suddenly pushed him flat on the ground and rocked his hips rhythmically, riding the fire youkai.  Hiei muffled his cries with his hands.  His arousal pressed and brushed against the green grasses while the redhead pushed inside him, up and down, panting heavily.  Hiei came the second time and collapsed.  Kurama still impaled him in earnest, his slender hips rocking furiously.

"Aaah!"  He moaned and pushed inside Hiei one last time.  Hiei felt the slender body collapsed on top of him.  Kurama still had not withdrawn his length inside him.  Then the youko licked his nape before pulling out.  Hiei moved to his side and watched the redhead rearranged his clothes.  The slender body was bathed with sweat and a deep flush covered his skin.  The youko winked at the fire youkai when he noticed he was being watched.

"Until tonight, koibito.   You don't know how delicious you are."  He whispered in a thick voice.  He knelt before the stunned fire demon and kissed him hard on the mouth.  He ruffled Hiei's spiky hair.  He stood up
only to be grabbed by Hiei.

"Where are you going?"  He was asked harshly.

Kurama blinked his eyes and smiled sweetly.  "I need to tell Genkai about Karasu.  She helped me with this and I owe it to her."  The emerald eyes stared down pointedly at his hand.

Hiei let him go reluctantly, a deep worry nagged his thoughts.  Kurama did not even wait for him to finish dressing.  Then he remembered that they had not even talked.  Hiei scowled.  That damn youko had manipulated him.  He finished fastening his belts and went after the redhead.  Yukina greeted him when he arrived at the temple.

"Hiei-san!"Hiei nodded to her, looking at the temple.  He couldn't sense Kurama's ki anywhere.
"Everyone's inside except for Kurama-san."

Hiei frowned but he nodded again to the ice demonness.  "I'm going inside." Yukina smiled at him.  Hiei allowed Yukina to precede him to the temple while he thought worriedly about his lover.

"Oi, Hiei, where have you been?"  Yusuke greeted him. The fire youkai was uncomfortably aware that everyone's eyes were expectantly turned toward him and he cursed the redheaded youko.

"I followed Kurama.  Karasu is dead."  He said emotionlessly.
"Nani?"  Yusuke and Kuwabara exclaimed in unison. Genkai frowned.
"How?"  The old lady asked curiously.
"Kurama saw to his death."  He said shortly and turned to flit away before he could be asked anymore questions.  He had seen Genkai gave him a calculating look.
"Oi, Hiei come back! " Kuwabara called after him. Yusuke shook his head. Genkai sighed.
"And just where is Kurama?  Is he even okay?" Yusuke muttered darkly glaring at no one in particular.

Kurama lay on his bed in his apartment.  The kitsune was already dressed in his robe, reading a book.  He sat up abruptly and stared at the open window.   His green eyes narrowing.

"Why are you here, Hiei?"  He asked the shadow that settled inside his room. Hiei's face was grim as he walked toward his lover.

"Why are you here?  Why are you not back at the temple?"

Kurama gave him an impatient look.   "I'm bored and I missed my apartment.  Karasu is dead.  I don't need to worry about him anymore."  He added for good measure and continued reading. Hiei stared hard at him. "Anything else you want?"  The youko asked calmly, flipping the page of the book he was reading.

Hiei grabbed the book from his hand. "Why did you leave so suddenly?"  Hiei asked him harshly. Kurama blinked his eyes.

"What did you want me to do?"  The redhead asked in confusion. Hiei was silent.  He couldn't very well tell Kurama that he should have waited for him or assisted him while he dressed after all he was the one who
undressed him in the first place. Kurama yawned and turned to his book.

"Hiei, if you have nothing else to say, I would request you to go to wherever it is you're going.  I need to relax."  He said clearly.

"Kurama?"  Hiei said his name in shock.  He had never heard the youko spoke to him this way until now. Kurama turned to him.

"You heard me."  He told the fire demon quietly, his emerald eyes narrowing. Hiei backed away, hurt and confused at the youko's behavior. Kurama shook his head, muttering darkly to himself. Hiei gave him one last look before he was gone. The youko grunted impatiently and stood up locking his window securely.

"Goodbye, lover!"  He said quietly and grinned.
