Romeo and Juliet: YYH Style!
Act III
Hiei felt something soft tickling his nose. He sneezed and
squirmed slightly,
feeling a slight ache in his muscles. Awareness flooded through
him and his eyes
popped open.
He was lying on a *large* bed (think Henry VIII plus wife), the
sheets draped
haphazardly over him. He was a naked as the day he'd been born.
AND he was
being held by a sleeping youko, his silver hair cascading down
into his face.
Hiei inhaled, the green and rose scent that was uniquely Kurama
making him
slightly heady.
The silver youko stirred, his lashes fluttering up to reveal
narrow golden eyes.
"Ohayo," he said, releasing Hiei and stretching sexily.
Hiei did nothing, remaining still and keeping his usual silence as
Kurama rolled
above him, placing his hands on either side of his head. His red
eyes stared
into Kurama's gold ones as the fox slowly lowered his lips to his,
taking him up
in a deep kiss. He arched into it willingly, a bit surprised that
he could
actually move after the previous afternoon's-and
night's-activities. Kurama had,
after all, screwed him silly, making up for the fact that he'd
'left him so
unsatisfied' a couple of days before.
"Kurama, I haveta go soon," Hiei gasped, tilting his head to allow
the youko
better access to his neck. Kurama didn't seem to be cooperating,
and for once
Hiei wasn't very inclined to argue. "Well, okay, but just this
once-" The sheet
was pulled up over their heads.
Hiei wandered through the forest, dazed. He was busy attempting
to find way to
break the news of his...marriage...to Mukuro. Odds were that she
wouldn't be
thrilled, especially when she learned that his 'bride' was Yomi's
heir.
"Oi, Hiei!" Yuusuke's hail broke his trail of thought. The boy
and Jin were
approaching quickly. "Where'd ya disappear to yesterday?"
"Hn," Hiei grunted. As if he'd tell. He didn't want the rest of
the demon world
to know that he'd just gotten hitched to THE most eligible
bachelor in the Makai.
He resumed his steady pace, jumping lightly from branch to branch,
his mind on
other things. Yuusuke and Jin followed below, a bit pressed to
keep up with him.
"Hiei!" a voice suddenly squealed. The high pitch stunned Hiei,
upsetting his
balance. He crashed to the ground below, a ringing sound
reverberating in his
ears.
"Dare da!" he snarled, shaking his head as he staggered to his
feet, a hand going
to the hilt of his katana.
A tall, orange-haired man stumbled out from behind a tree. The
sword he held in
his hands glowed a bright yellow. "Teme!" he shrieked. "I saw
you yesterday
talking to the fair Yukina! How dare you profane the area
surrounding her! I,
Kuwabara Kazuma the Man, will teach you a lesson!"
Huge sweatdrops appeared on the other three's heads. "Uh,
Kuwabara, remember
what Koenma said," Yuusuke began, not *really* wanting to find out
what DIRE
CONSEQUENCES the Reikai prince had up his sleeve.
Kuwabara turned his thin eyes on him. "And you, Yuusuke! What're
you doing
hanging out with this little shrimp, anyway? You're becoming as
cowardly as he
is!"
Yuusuke's eyes narrowed as he cracked his knuckles. To hell with
Koenma's rules,
NOBODY called him a coward. "Yaro! I'm gonna kick your ass!" He
charged
forward, fists ready.
Hiei watched impassively as the fight escalated. He'd read the
script, and he
knew what was coming, impossible as it seemed. He narrowed his
eyes.
"Ack! Ya killed me, ya big oaf!" Yuusuke fell his knees. "But
that's okay, 'cos
I've died before. I'll be back! Erk." He keeled over and died.
"Bwahaha!" Kuwabara glared at Hiei. "Okay shrimp, its your turn
now!"
"Hn." Hiei looked at him with contempt. "Baka, didn't you read
the script?!"
The orange-haired human looked puzzled. "Come to think of it, no.
Why?"
"Because I finally get to kill you, you moron!" Hiei gave the
suddenly pale
Kuwabara a feral half-smile. "Ja Ou Ensatsu Kokuryuha!" The
Black Dragon roared
toward Kuwabara, giving him time for only a startled 'eep!' before
being fried to
a crisp. Oddly enough, the bright orange hair was untouched on
the blackened
ningen. "Hn," muttered Hiei, "must be all that crap he puts in
it." Motioning
to Jin, who had been standing there frantically leafing through
the script, he
walked over to where Yuusuke had fallen. He hoisted the upper
half of the body
up, nodding at Jin to take up Yuusuke's legs. "Fuck Yuusuke!
You're damn
heavy." It had been a long day, and right now, Hiei needed a nap.
Prince Koenma, Yomi, and Karasu stood ringed around the charred
corpse. "Are you
sure this is Kuwabara?" Koenma asked.
"Of course; look at that hair-not even Mukuro can match *that*
shade...not that
she'd want to," Karasu replied urbanely.
"I suppose Kurama will have to be notified of this," Yomi sighed.
"He *did* have
an aquaintance with him." The youkai tilted his head,
considering. "You'll have
to punish Hiei, you know," he addressed Koenma. "I recommend
sending him to the
Ningenkai; his dislike of humans and their habits is almost
legendary."
The prince thought a moment, chewing on his pacifier. "Good idea.
Mukuro won't
miss him for say, five years, and its not like he's being executed
or anything.
You might even call it a learning experience."
Karasu smiled thinly behind his spidery mask. What he wouldn't
give to see
Hiei's face when the youkai learned he was being banished to the
Ningenkai. He
thought of Kurama, and his smile widened, becoming seductive.
*Someone* was
going to have to *comfort* the beautiful youko over his grief at
Kuwabara's
death. This was going to be fun.
Kurama lay face-down on the bed, his head cradled in his arms. It
wasn't fair;
he'd only had a few precious hours with Hiei, and now his
beautiful little fire
demon was-literally-a world away. Kurama whimpered. Hiei had
been sent to the
Ningenkai immediately; he hadn't even had the time to sneak out to
see him off.
Kurama rolled onto his back. Five years was nothing to a youkai,
but for Kurama
the wait would be a long one. Hiei was going to be faced with a
*very* horny
youko when he returned. The thought brought a smile to Kurama's
face, and he was
finally able to fall asleep.
Kurama stared at Yukina in growing horror. "Me? And KARASU?!" he
squeaked,
furry ears laid flat against his head. "Uh uh. No way." He
strode toward the
balcony. "I'm getting out of here!"
Yukina trotted after him, tugging ineffectually at the filmy white
robes.
"Kurama-san, omachinasai. Where are you going?"
"To find Hiei," was the short reply. The fox halted and whirled
to face the
Koorime girl. "I can't end up with Karasu, don't you understand?
The maniac
will try to kill me-or worse!" He shook his head. "No, I can't
stay here..."
He peeked over the balcony. "Shimatta!"
Standing guard against Kurama's possible attempts at escape were
members of
Yomi's special guard. Unless the youko was willing to chance
getting beaten to
a pulp, there was no way out of the palace. His proud figure
slumped with
defeat.
A gentle, hesitant touch on his arm snapped his head up. Yukina
looked up at
him, her crimson eyes wide. "Yomi didn't want you to escape when
you heard about
Karasu, but isn't there anything you can do to trick him? A
sickness caused from
one of your plants, maybe?"
Kurama's ears perked up as an idea started to form. "That's it!"
he cried.
"Come to think of it, there *is* a plant that causes youki to be
hidden and the
body's functions to slow. It makes you look and feel dead." He
grinned down at
the tiny girl. "Arigato, Yukina-san!"
The Koorime smiled and blushed. "I'm glad I could help,
Kurama-san."
The youko nodded. "Okay, here's the plan..."
"Was that yaoi scene at the beginning really necessary?" asked
Take.
Kurama pouted and tossed his head. "I'm telling this my way.
Besides, if I have
to put up with Karasu in this, I should at least get to have
*some* fun with
Hiei." He looked over his shoulder to his sister. "Why'd you
pick *Karasu* to be
Count Paris, anyway?"
Takemi hunched a shoulder and grinned unrepentantly. "I love
getting a reaction
from you."
Take smiled evilly. "I think she gets that from hanging around
you all these
centuries."
"Fuu. Why am I always being picked on?"
"'Cos its fun, Kurama-chan," Take replied cheerfully. "Now,
where's Act IV?"
"No respect." Kurama ducked Take's swat. "Okay, okay..."
