I don’t own any of the YYH characters mentioned here because they belong to
Yoshihiro Togashi, Studio Pierrot and all the other people who helped produce
this wonderful series. So don’t sue me onegai.
Note: This fic is yaoi. So don’t read this if you don’t like M/M couples. I was inspired to write this because of a fic called ‘Kurama no Tanjoubi no Purezento’ by the great Katchan and added my secret ingredient. Sap. Just couldn’t make a fic without it! *Grin*
*^^*
Hiei
was sleeping on a tree outside the Minamino residence when he felt the familiar
ki of his green-eyed lover come closer. Cracking open one eye, he could make
out the Kurama’s slim figure walking towards the tree he was sleeping in.
The redhead stopped below the tree. “Hiei, come
down here! I need to tell you something” Hiei sat up. “Hn?” Kurama sighed,
“Just please come down here kudasai. I look like I’m talking to a tree” “Hn”
The Jaganshi stood up and dropped down in front of Kurama. “What?” he was sleeping
peacefully and he didn’t like to be bothered. Kurama smiled and Hiei felt
something light up in his chest. He ignored it and kept his best poker face.
“My
birthdays coming up in 3 days and I’m throwing a party, can you come?” He
pleaded the fire demon with his eyes. Hiei snorted. “No” he said flatly, Kurama
pouted. “Please come. It’s only my close friends. There won’t be many people.
My parents will be away so no one will bother us and there will be lots of ice
cream…” He trailed off; actually it was a real party. It never hurt to lie.
Seeing for any reaction from his dark haired lover. “Please…for me…” That
seemed to get him. “I’ll think about it” Then he disappeared in a blur of
black. Kurama let a triumphant smile overtake his face. He heard his mother
call him and walked back to the house whistling happily.
*^^*
Hiei
stood on a tree branch outside of the Minamino residence, it was the day of
Kurama’s party and he was considering going inside or not. He could hear
boisterous music coming from inside the house. He snorted; ningens had very
stupid customs, why did they have to celebrate every time they turn a year
older? It wasn’t going to make any difference anyway.
He
went around the house and saw Kurama’s bedroom window open. He jumped in and
took off his cloak, laying it on Kurama’s bed. Next he took of his boots,
Kurama has this incredibly obsessive neat streak and he didn’t want Hiei coming
into his room with his boots dirty.
He propped himself up on the pillows, letting him
breath in the sweet smell of roses mixed with his own scent. He closed his eyes
and let himself drift off to sleep.
*^^*
Kurama
felt the dark flicker of Hiei’s youki enter the house. He smiled as he looked
around his friends; Yusuke and Kuwabara didn’t seem to feel Hiei’s youki.
Neither does Shizuru, she was-as usual-smoking a cigarette and getting blitz by
sake. Yukina and Botan were talking with each other and Keiko was beating
Yusuke to a pulp for saying that she looked like she gained weight in the dress
she was wearing.
He
felt an excited flutter in his stomach as he ran up the stairs to his room. He
was delighted that Hiei came; he knew the fire demon didn’t like social
occasions, especially if there were ningens around, he reached the top of the
stairs and opened the door to his bedroom, he saw his precious youkai sleeping
on his bed propped up in the pillows. He crept over and slid his arms around
Hiei’s shoulders in a hug. Burying his face in the pine-scented scented hair,
he sighed contentedly.
*^^*
Hiei
felt slim arms wrapping themselves around him; he almost elbowed the intruder
when he felt Kurama’s ki signature. “Hn. Baka kitsune” Kurama giggled and
licked his earlobe. “Why don’t you come down Koibito, everybody is there” Hiei
snorted. “Hn. you said that there will only be a few people around ” Kurama
assumed that it meant no. He decided to just side step the statement. “C’mon
itooshi, the ice cream is downstairs” The fire demon perked up immediately.
“Sweet snow?” Kurama sighed, he tried to correct Hiei a number of times that it
was called ice cream but he wasn’t really listening. He just let it go, it was
really kind of cute. “Yes, sweet snow” He released Hiei and went down the
stairs. Hiei stood up and followed the kitsune down.
They
reached the living room and they were greeted by incredibly loud music and
Kurama led him into the kitchen and opened the freezer door. Hiei stared at the
way Kurama’s hair swayed when he turned around, and his graceful hands when
they took out a carton of ice cream from the fridge. He was now staring at
Kurama’s perfectly shaped bottom in his tight fitting jeans and was snapped out
of his reverie when he heard the cheerful chatter come into the room.
“Ooohh…Ice
cream!” A red-faced Botan exclaimed as she ran for the ice cream carton, Kurama
stared at her. “Are you drunk?” Botan giggled while getting a heaping spoon
full of ice cream. “Not really, I just had a couple-“ Keiko entered the room
and cut her off. “She almost finished off a whole bottle!” then she joined
Botan in getting the ice cream devoured. Hiei was getting irritated and shot
Kurama an ‘where’s-my-ice-cream?’ look. Kurama turned to the two girls and
found that the ice cream carton was empty. He chuckled and got another one.
When
Hiei had finally gotten full, he sat down on a window in a corner of the living
room. Just watching Kurama entertain the other guests. He looked out the window
and stared at the stars. In the Ningenkai, the stars were beautiful to look,
while in the Makai. The fog covers up the sky and all the stars were blocked
out. He had been thinking about how much his life had changed when he had met
Kurama. First they were companions planning to steal the Reikai artifacts, then
friends. Now they were lovers. He was quietly reminiscing when Shizuru plopped
down on the floor beside him.
“Nice
party ne?” Hiei could tell she was drunk by the way she kept swaying around.
“Hn” he never really met Shizuru, he just knew her as that stupid oaf’s sister
(Kuwabara ^_^). She got a cigarette out of her pocket and held it up in front
of Hiei’s face. “Would you light it up for me chibi-chan?” He would have
blasted the woman to hell for calling him chibi-chan if it weren’t only for
Kurama’s sake not to kill anyone. He just ignored it and just flicked his
finger over the cigarette. “Doumo” Shizuru thanked him and smoked.
After
a few minutes, Yusuke made his way over to the fire demon with something behind
his back. He grinned at Hiei and produced a sake bottle. “C’mon Hiei! Why don’t
you have some?” Hiei snorted. “No.” He was expecting the raven-haired tantei to
leave but he still lingered there. “What are you still doing here? Leave me
alone” Yusuke didn’t seem fazed by Hiei’s rudeness and called Kuwabara over.
The carrot top bounced (literally) over to them. Yusuke whispered something in
his ear and Kuwabara guffawed. He pointed at Hiei and it took all of his
willpower not to bite it off. Kuwabara finally had his laughter under control
and puffed up his chest.
“Why
won’t you drink? Afraid you can’t handle it?” Hiei had a glint in his
ruby-eyes. How dare they say he was scared! He fixed them a fierce look. “I’m
not afraid anything!” Yusuke grinned and handed Hiei a cup of sake (Don’t know
what those little cups are called).
*^^*
Kurama
weaved through the crowd looking for Hiei. He finally saw him with Yusuke and
Kuwabara. He finally reached them and began to call out. “Hiei, what are you
doing…” He trailed of as he saw Hiei.
The
fire demon’s face was as red as a tomato and he had an impish smile on his
face. “Are you drunk?” He asked for the second time that day. Hiei shrugged and
hiccupped, Kurama got the answer he wanted and grabbed the fire demon around
the scruff of his neck. He knew he shouldn’t have left him alone. He knew that
sake and fire demons don’t mix if you don’t want your lawn incinerated. He had
spent hours on making his moms garden grow the way it was and he had lost a lot
of youki the last time he had let Hiei drink sake. Dragging the fire demon
across the room towards the stairs, a fast song was put on the CD player and
Hiei shrugged off his arm and ran to the center of the room. Kurama sighed and
went after him. He did not want to refresh the garden again. He looked around
the room; he couldn’t see Hiei anywhere around the gyrating bodies. After a few
more moments of searching, he had decided to sense for Hiei’s youki. He
couldn’t sense it, must be either the sake or Hiei was masking his youki.
He
looked around the room again. He was willing to give up, might as well rest
while there’s time. He was about to sit down when he heard hooting and
squealing in the next room. The redhead sighed, what is it this time? Making
his way to the next room, the shouting got louder. He saw a crowd gathered
around the dining room table. He stood on his tiptoes to see but a lot of
people were blocking his way. A female classmate of his noticed him and
sauntered over to him. “That spiky-haired boy is a really great dancer ne,
Minamino-san?” She laughed as the crowd cheered again. If Kurama were in his
fox form, his ears would have perked up. Spiky-haired? boy? He elbowed his way
to the center of the crowd and his jaw almost hit the floor. There, in the
middle of the table was Hiei. Dancing. The fire demon was swaying his hips to
the music and it would’ve turned Kurama on if it weren’t so ridiculous (H_H).
He quickly grabbed the fire demon much to the
crowd’s dismay. Hiei tried to struggle but Kurama held him tight. A few boys
tried to get him but Kurama quickly dashed of to his room offering a lame
excuse that Hiei was very drunk and he had to get home before curfew.
Laying
the fire demon on his bed, he sat down on the side of the bed and brushed a few
strands away from Hiei’s sweaty forehead. Hiei tried to protest but he shushed
him by putting a finger on his lips. “I never knew you could dance like that.
Maybe you could do that some time when were alone,” Kurama suggested. “Hnn…”
Hiei mumbled, almost asleep. Kurama kissed his forehead and rose from his seat.
He stopped when he felt Hiei’s hand grab his arm. “Hiei?” The fire demon kept
quiet and tugged on is arm, beckoning him closer. He sat down again and Hiei
pulled on his side locks. He pulled until they were almost nose-to-nose.
Kurama
stared at Hiei’s lips hungrily. It was so tempting to run his tongue over
Hiei’s lips and taste the sake there. He started a little when Hiei suddenly
pressed they’re lips together in a brutal kiss. He heard the fire demon moan
into his mouth when he dived his tongue into Hiei’s sweet cavern. They parted
when they both needed air and stared at each other. Hiei started to tug him
over to the bed but much to Kurama’s disappointment. The party not over yet and
he had to entertain the guests. He held up a hand. “I’m sorry Hiei. But there’s
still a party out there and I have to entertain the mmmphh!!” he hadn’t had the
chance to answer because Hiei suddenly kissed him and muffled his words.
After
a few moments of struggling he had finally gotten away from the libidinous fire
demon and went down stairs to the party. After three hours the party had
finally ended and Kurama was leading the last groups of guests to the door. He
leaned against the door and sighed, he looked at his watch. 2 a.m. good thing
it was Saturday tomorrow or he wouldn’t be able to get up.
He
cleaned up the last of the soda cans and sake bottles off the floor while
humming a nameless tune when he felt Hiei’s ki come closer. He smiled and held
out his arms, signing for Hiei to snuggle with him. Hiei went to the CD player
first and pressed play, soft music began to play. (Hey! That rhymes!)
Kurama
was surprised Hiei even knew what buttons to push. The Jaganshi went closer and
pulled Kurama into a slow dance. The kitsune smiled and swayed his body
together with Hiei in time to the music. It was amazing how the sake had made
Hiei become so relaxed and show some feelings to him. They stayed that way for
three songs, Hiei laid his head on Kurama’s chest and nuzzled it. Kurama rested
his head on the pine-scented hair and sighed, wishing that he could stay that
way forever. Hiei looked up and they’re gazes locked together.
“I
haven’t given you your present yet kitsune” Kurama cocked his head to the side
curiously. “Honto?” Hiei nodded and reached for a hidden pocket on his
trousers. He pulled out something. It was a necklace with a pendant hanging off
on it. Kurama studied the pendant and gasped. The pendant was shaped like a fox
with five tails. It was snuggled against its tails. He felt tears of happiness
push at the back of his eyelids and he fought them back. He gazed at his
precious fire demon and kissed him. A long sweet kiss, they parted and Hiei
hung the necklace around his neck.
Kurama
pulled Hiei for another slow dance and swallowed the tears that were
threatening to spill over. He fingered the small pendant and nuzzled Hiei’s
neck. “Arigato koibito. Ai shitteru” He whispered in Hiei’s ear. The fire demon
snuggled deeper into Kurama’s chest. “Hn.” Then he looked up with a mischievous
smirk on his face. “You still have to pay for leaving me before kitsune” Kurama
blinked and Hiei’s smirk grew bigger, baring one of his fangs. The youko
finally got the message, grinned mischievously and picked the fire demon up
despite the protests. They reached Kurama’s bedroom and the redhead closed the
door with his foot with a soft ‘Click’.
