Romeo and Juliet: YYH Style!
Act IV
"Kurama! Oh my lovely one, how could you? Going off and dying
like that...I
wanted to be the one to kill you!" wailed Karasu. "Me, me, me!"
Yomi stood by the side of the bed, frowning. "Damn it Kurama, I
know you didn't
want to be my heir, but did you *have* to go to such measures to
get out of the
job?" The six ears flicked slightly, disturbed by Karasu's
wailing. "Will
somebody shut that blubbering idiot up?!" he shouted. Guards
instantly grabbed
hold of the youkai's arms and forcefully removed him from the
room.
"Yukina-san, please go make arrangements for Kurama's
funeral...Even if I'm a
little vexed with him, I wouldn't want any scavengers to get his
body." The girl
bowed and slipped away. She had to find Hiei and tell him what
had happened.
"That was short," Take commented.
Kurama made a face. "I wanna get to the good part."
"Kurama, stop that; you're drooling."
Act V
Hiei regarded the tiny girl before him, his red eyes dark. "Hn.
So lemme get
this straight. Kurama wants me to go back to the Makai to rescue
him from his
grave when he wakes up from his 'death'." Yukina nodded
vigorously. "Why?"
"Please, Hiei-san? He loves you and wants to be with you.
Kurama-san was
willing to fight his way through Yomi's guards for you. Please
go." Sometimes
it didn't hurt to stretch the truth a little. Yukina looked at
the youkai with
her wide, innocent eyes.
The fire demon could feel his resolve weakening. He dropped his
gaze. "Hai.
I'll go."
"Arigatou, Hiei-san!" Yukina's face lit up with happiness. "Now,
before you
sneak into Yomi's palace, you have to stop by Botan's apothecary
shop and get
something." She handed Hiei a slip of paper with a set of numbers
on it. "This
is the number potion Kurama wants you to get." She smiled and
bowed before
trotting off.
"Hn." Hiei regarded the piece of paper for a moment before
stuffing it into his
pocket. He had to find Botan and Gate back to the Makai.
Botan giggled and looked at the slip of paper Hiei had given her.
"Are you sure
you want this one?" she asked dubiously. The glare she recieved
was all the
answer she needed. Rumaging through the sleeves of her kimono,
she produced one,
waving it triumphantly. "Here it is!" She handed the vial to
Hiei. "When you
take this you'll need to be near someplace comfortable; it works
fast."
Hiei raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Tucking the vial into a
pants pocket,
he nodded curtly and vanished.
"Chotto matte!" Botan yelled. "You didn't pay for that!" She
fumed until a
stray thought occured to her. Laughter bubbled forth as she
wondered if Hiei
knew what he'd asked for.
"Kurama! Wah!" Karasu sobbed as he was dragged out of the crypt.
Yukina
sighed and watched the others file out. Kurama had been popular
and the
services had taken longer than planned.
When she was finally alone, she took the 'dead' youko's right hand
in hers,
placing her left on his forehead. The soft blue-white glow of her
healer's ki
flowed into the fox.
Satisfied, Yukina smoothed away a few strands of hair from the
youko's face
before exiting the crypt. Kurama would awaken soon, and hopefully
Hiei would
already be there waiting.
Hiei easily avoided the guards patrolling the palace grounds,
making his way to
the crypt. He still wasn't quite sure how he'd gotten himself
talked into doing
this, but hell, it wasn't as if he had anything better to do. The
Ningenkai had
been kind of boring.
Spying the door to the crypt, he flickered up and darted inside
before anyone
could catch him. Crouching in the shadows, he searched for any
sign of youki,
finding one at the other end of the room; fluttering, but growing
stronger by
the second; Kurama. In a fraction of a moment, Hiei had
disappeared, only to
reappear next to the unconscious youko.
Staring down at his perfect features, the youkai felt a twinge in
the vicinity
of his heart. Though he would never admit it, the youko had
gotten under his
skin in a bad way. *Kuso*. Reaching out, he gently stroked the
side of
Kurama's cheek in a feather-light caress. His eyes widened as the
fox turned
into his touch, starting to stir.
Quickly taking the vial out of his pocket, Hiei downed the
contents in one gulp.
He vaguely remembered reading something about this in the
script...why did he
feel so relaxed all of a sudden?
Kurama opened his eyes, feeling Hiei's body heat near him.
"Mm..." His gaze
sharpened as it fell upon the said youkai. Hiei was swaying
slightly, a confused
expression on his normally impassive features. Kurama caught him
as he toppled,
twisting so the youkai lay beneath him.
A tinkle drew his attention; a small bottle had dropped from
Hiei's fingers to
roll on the floor.
"Shit Kurama! What the hell *is* this?!" Hiei growled furiously.
Attempting to
move, he found his muscles too relaxed to do much.
A slow, wicked grin spread across Kurama's face. "Oh, just a
little something
masseuses' give their clients; it relaxes while heightening the
sensation of
being touched." He ran his hand down Hiei's arm in demonstration,
elicting a
shiver from his lover.
"Are you nut's?! What if someone comes in and finds us like
this?!" Hiei hissed.
Kurama shrugged, tugging Hiei's tank top off and tossing it aside.
"I'm supposed
to be dead, remember? And for that matter, you're safely in the
Ningenkai at the
moment. So just lie here and let me do all the work." he placed
nipping kisses
down the middle of Hiei's chest, fingers busy at the four belts
around the
youkai's waist.
Hiei groaned, terribly aroused but unable to do anything except
lie there. He
bit his lip, trying to make as little noise as possible. He
almost lost it
when he felt Kurama kiss him *there*, the potion in his veins
magnifying the
sensations tenfold. "Dammit fox, I swear you'll be the death of
me someday."
Kurama grinned, ripping off the rest of Hiei's clothes with
lecherous glee...
"Oi, oi, yamete!"
"Un?" Kurama blinked in confusion, looking up from the computer.
Take glared at him. "Now I KNOW you didn't read the play. The
two main
characters are supposed to *die*, baka."
She didn't notice 'Kemi sneaking away, Rakuen in her
arms. 'Kemi knew the signs; for a small girl, Takechan had a
rather violent
temper. As she snuck out of the room, she passed the other Yuu
Yuu's; things
were going to get ugly pretty soon.
"Saa, Rakuen, let's go someplace safe for a while, ne?" The Makai
'dog'
yapped his assent. With a slight laugh, 'Kemi headed for the tiny
garden
outside.
Kurama gave the girl next to him an innocent look. "But Takechan,
they did
die!" At her raised eyebrow, he elaborated, "Orgasms are known as
the
'little death' too, you know." A smug expression crossed his
face.
"And Hiei and I both *died*."
