______" Ah! Finally! Hah-ha! We're here. Hot baths and soft beds, here we come!" Yusuke said in jubilation as he and his friends stepped out of the large van and on to the very steps leading up to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, one of thee best five-star hotels in town.

______" Gosh, this place looks so big! Like a palace in Makai. So very different from Genkai's temple," Yukina said in wide-eyed amazement as she stood staring at a large fountain in the middle of the square. Lights illuminated the backdrop of the structure, creating quite a breathtaking effect. Kuwabara laughed, a sappy smile on his face. " Of course, only the best for you, Yukina, hee-hee-hee..."

______Keiko smiled at the happy couple and turned to her own husband, Yusuke, snuggling into the crook of his embrace. " I can't wait to get into our room. It's been quite a long day and I have to admit, I'm bushed!" Keiko said which earned a small kiss on her cheek from Yusuke. " Yeah, I can't wait to get into our room too," he told her with a glint in his eye. Keiko gave him a light punch on his shoulder.

______Meanwhile, Kurama stood beside his, err...newly-married "husband", a smile plastered firmly on his face as he draped his arm around Hiei. " Ai shiteru, koorime," he whispered seductively into Hiei's ear. Hiei chose to ignore the comment and surveyed his surroundings. " Well, don't I get an answer back?" Kurama said, nudging him. The only reply he received from Hiei was a small " Hn" before the demon untangled himself from Kurama's arms and walked ahead. He still wasn't used to showing that much affection for Kurama while the rest of their friends were around.

______The group moved inside towards the lobby and Koenma, who went ahead with Botan, stood waiting inside holding three keys. " Well, here you go, all you lovebirds," he said while handing out the keys to the different couples. " The manager forgot to put towels in room 202 though. Who has that key?" Kuwabara raised his hand. " What?! No towels?! How do you expect me and Yukina to enjoy ourselves?!"

______Hiei’s ears perked up at the comment and said quite gruffly," Kuwabara, you're such a pervert! Is that all you think about? You better not play around with Yukina or else..."

______" Or else what, shrimp?!" Kuwabara said, balling his fists up in challenge. Hiei moved forward, roused by Kuwabara's actions and ready to beat him to a pulp. The rest of the group sweatdropped and Yukina grabbed Kuwabara's arm waving her hands in panic. " No-no, it's okay Kuwa-kun. Towels are easy to come by. We'll just get some later on. We might not even need it tonight because I feel kind of tired." Immediately Kuwabara dropped his guarded stance and looked over Yukina, worry lining his face. Hiei saw this and was forced to drop his stance too. After all, he couldn't beat up a guy who loved his sister that much.

______" Well, I'm sure towels or no towels you're all going to enjoy yourselves anyway!" Koenma said, a smile peeking out from his pacifier. Yusuke turned to him, a mischievous glint in his eye. " Well, you're always welcome to join us, you know. After all, there must be some reason why you brought Botan along, right?" Botan blushed slightly and looked away. Koenma turned a deep shade of red. " Uh..uh...of course not. We just came here to wish you all a happy honeymoon and uh, that's it!"

______" Oh c'mon Koenma," Kuwabara said, joining in the fun," It's getting pretty late. Surely you're not thinking about making that long journey back to Rekai at this time of the night. And since you dragged Botan along, making that trip isn't exactly a very good way to treat a lady."

______" I--well..."

______" Excuse me, sir!" Yusuke called out to the desk clerk, " Is there a spare room you can give these two?" The clerk shuffled through a few papers. " Well, sir, we seem to be fully booked ..oh wait! Consider yourselves lucky! We seem to have one extra room on the eighth floor. It's got a king size bed complete with a romantic view of the city lights too! So who's name shall it be in, sir?"

______" I--ah," Koenma stuttered.

______" No one's!" Botan shouted, grabbing Koenma's hand and practically dragging him out the door. " Goodbye guys! Thanks but no thanks for the offer, Yusuke!! Congratulations again to all of you!"

______" But Botan, why didn't we take the offer? They had an extra room!" They heard Koenma say as the pair retreated outside.

______" Koenma...there's only ONE bed!!!" Botan screeched before the door closed behind them, drowning out their arguments.

______Yusuke and Kuwabara burst out laughing and gave each other a high five. Keiko tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for Yusuke to finish his antics. " I don't know about you Yusuke, but I'm going up to the room. Goodnight to you all!" Keiko said, grabbing the keys from her husband's hand and heading towards the elevator. " Uh..uh wait!" Yusuke said running after her, making it to the elevator just in time, right before the large doors closed in on the couple.

______" We probably should be heading upstairs too, love," Kuwabara said, touching Yukina's sleeve. " Oh, you go on ahead, Kuwa-san. I'll just get some towels," Yukina told him with a smile. " Uh, are you sure you don't need any help?" Kuwabara asked her softly. She nodded, giving him a light push towards the next elevator. "I'll see you upstairs in a few minutes."

______Kuwabara gave her a small kiss on the cheek before heading towards the elevator doors. Kurama tugged at Hiei's sleeve, indicating that he wanted to get up to the bedroom too. Hiei took one look at Yukina and shook his head. " Uh, you go ahead, fox. I'll just check a few things out first." Kurama nodded. He figured Hiei just wanted to make sure Yukina would be safe, so he joined Kuwabara in waiting for the next ride up to their floor.

______Meanwhile, Yukina headed towards the information counter to ask for some towels. The desk clerk pointed her out to the " Supplies and Claims " center where she could get a fresh set of towels, which was on the opposite side of the building, right beside the souvenir shop, they said. All the while she was walking to the center, Hiei followed discreetly behind her, taking extreme precautions not to be seen. She reached the supplies counter and ordered for towels. The lady handed her three sets of towels and a small toiletry bag that came along with it. Yukina thanked her and proceeded to walk out of the booth. She stopped when she got outside and a small smile spread across her face. " Thank you for following me, Hiei, but it really wasn't necessary," she said, loud enough for him to hear. Hiei stiffened and held his breath, wondering how she knew he was there when he made certain that she couldn't detect his qi. Or could she?

______" You can come out now, Hiei," she said again, " I could use some help carrying these towels, please?" Hiei let out a breath and emerged from behind the wall. " How did you know that I was there?" he asked, taking the bundle from Yukina. She shrugged. " I just knew."

______They both walked back to main desk and after a while Yukina turned to him once more. " You know, I really am glad you and Kurama are, well, together. I always knew you two would be good for each other. "

______" Hn. " was Hiei's reply. Yukina bit her lip and continued on. " What about you, Hiei? Do you think Kuwa-san and I are good for each other?" Hiei was startled by the question and he was about to give his opinion on how much of an idiot he thought Kuwabara was but he caught sight of the pleading look in her eyes, begging him to say 'yes. Hiei looked down at the bundle in his hands. " He loves you very much," was his only answer. Yukina smiled. She was content with that reply. She knew Hiei didn't really say much and his comment could only mean that he approved of her marriage. His opinion mattered so much to her and she suddenly felt like a burden had been lifted off her shoulders. And that was twice already since Hiei was holding the towels! (he-he)

______They both headed towards their floor in silence. When they finally got off the elevator, Yukina took the towels from him. " I can handle things from here," she told him happily," Thank you so much." Hiei nodded and flitted off to be with his Kurama. Only a few hall lights were on at this time and Yukina found herself groping her way towards her room in the dim light.

______Hiei zipped around the corridors, counting as he ran. :_9...10...11_: he thought, stopping at the eleventh door. Reaching for the knob he found the door locked. :_ What is Kurama trying to pull? !_: Hiei thought in irritation as he moved the knob back and forth. He was sure that this was the eleventh door he passed. Grumbling, he decided to check the next door before blowing up the one in front of him, just in case he made a mistake. Turning the knob of door number twelve he found that it was open and as he headed inside he heard a slow, romantic tune playing in the background. The lights were off, dimly setting the mood and highly arousing Hiei's senses. :_ Kurama sure outdid himself this time: he thought, unable to stop an eager smile from spreading across his face. He saw Kurama sitting by the bed in the darkness. That smooth muscled chest, those long and powerful legs that felt so good wrapped around his body! It was pure perfection.

______" Darling," he heard Kurama whisper seductively, motioning for him to come closer, " Come to bed. I've been waiting for you." Hiei climbed on the bed, his eyes having a hard time focusing in the darkness. His hand accidentally brushed Kurama's naked thigh and even just the mere contact of skin against skin gave Hiei an elicit erection.

______" I take it you're more than ready," Hiei whispered in the dark. " 'Have been for a long time," Kurama whispered back, drawing Hiei close to him. " I hope you’re ready for me." And with that, Kurama tilted his mouth over his lover's and they both began a series of hot and passionate kisses; Kurama's tongue battling with Hiei's. Hiei felt Kurama probe deeper into his mouth, his partner’s ardor quite arousing his own and he finally gave himself up into the kiss. They fell on the sheets in a passionate embrace and Hiei felt Kurama's legs move around his own. The kiss was sending him into a spiral of emotions and Hiei finally gave up in trying to figure out the many sensations it was giving him and concentrated instead on how to make his fox moan in pleasure.

______Yukina continued feeling her way around the hallway. :_ Oh no_" she thought in despair, :_ I seem to have gotten myself lost somehow. Kuwa-san's going to be very upset!_: She stopped at one of the doors and sighed, wondering what she would do. Suddenly an idea struck her and she checked the toiletry bag that they had given her. Sure enough it had a small, plastic flashlight contained within it. Yukina clicked it on and checked the number of the door in front of her. " Hmmm...205," she walked back to the other doors she had passed," 204, 203...202!" Smiling, she tried to push the door open by turning the knob with her other hand and she found it locked. She looked up at the number on the plaque above the door again to make sure she hadn't gotten the wrong room and 202 glittered back at her as she shone the flashlight on it. Knocking softly she called out, " Kuwa-san! Kuwa-san it's me, Yukina." When there was no reply, Yukina figured that he probably had fallen asleep, waiting for her. Turning around, Yukina wondered, :_ What am I going to do now? _:

______Yukina looked down the dark hallway, her arms tiring immensely from the load she had to carry around and only one solution hit her. Kurama and Hiei. She hated to bother them, especially at this time when she was sure they wanted to be alone but her bundles were wearing her down and she was sure she'd fall over if she didn't find a place to rest. She tried recalling the room number they had given Kurama. :_ What was it again? 209? 210? Ah, yes...211_: she thought as she shined the flashlight on each of the door numbers. She knocked against the door softly before Kurama answered, " Come in. The door's open."

______Pushing the door open with her other hand, Yukina stepped inside the room and found Kurama sitting calmly on top of the bed, the small lamp illuminating his gorgeous features.

______" Gomen nasai, Kurama-san," she told him apologetically as she set the towels down on one chair," I hate to interrupt you and Hiei this way but I was wondering if it was okay that I stay with you both for the night. Kuwa-san has locked me out of the room. "

______" What?! Why would he do that?!" Kurama said, alarmed. Yukina gave him a sheepish smile. " He fell asleep waiting for me, I think. I tried waking him up but..." Kurama laughed. " But when Kuwabara's asleep, there’s no waking him, right?" Yukina giggled and nodded, wrapping her arms tightly around herself. Kurama noticed this. " Why Yukina! You're shivering! You're feeling cold aren't you?"

______She nodded again but motioned to the bathroom. " It's alright Kurama-san. If you'll permit me to sleep in your bathroom though I'll be more than thankful." Kurama shook his head firmly, motioning for Yukina to come closer. " You sleep on the bed. Hiei and I will just sleep on the floor," he told her, wrapping a blanket around her. Yukina sat beside him but still continued shivering " I can't do that. I'm sure y-you and H-Hiei would want the bed. W-where is he anyway?"

______Kurama shrugged. " He just went to get something downstairs. I'm sorry Yukina but I will have to insist that you take the bed. Are you still feeling cold?" he asked as Yukina continued shaking.

______" It's not really the cold that's making me shake Kurama-san," she admitted," I'm an inhabitant of ice after all. But I am really scared of dark places, and it was so dark in the hallway and..." Yukina broke off and cuddled closer to Kurama. " I can't help it...I-I'm sorry."

______" Shh...it's okay, Yukina. There's nothing to be afraid of," he whispered, stroking her hair gently. He smiled. It was as soft as Hiei's and he felt a light throbbing in between his legs again, just thinking about the koorime. That was when he remembered he had absolutely nothing on. " Yukina," he whispered gently, about to point out the fact that he had to dress first when he realized that she had fallen asleep. He tried moving his arm but she was cuddled so close to him that any sudden movement would wake her. And she lookd so tired too that he didn't really want to wake her and start her shivering again. Sighing, he leaned back against the bed and decided to wait. In a few minutes though, they had both fallen asleep.

______:_ Oh, Yukina!_: Kuwabara thought passionately as he kissed her neck and nibbled at her ear. :_ My sweet darling Yukina!_: She moaned against the pressure and Kuwabara quickly continued his slow seduction of her body. It all seemed almost like a dream; a dream he wished he'd never wake up from. He felt her lips move down his chest, tracing lazy circles over his nipples. Kuwabara gasped out in pleasure.

______" Yes, oh ye--esss," he whispered raggedly, " Oh god, please...don't,uh...stop." Kuwabara felt her lips move down to his abdomen and his erection jutted out largely from the center of his groin, the center which Yukina was fast approaching.

______" No," he whispered, trying to control himself. He wasn't going to spill. Not until he made Yukina wriggle in pleasure first. Not until he was inside of her. Not until then.

______" Oh god," he gasped out as her tongue licked lower and lower. He couldn't stand it. He was going to spill if she continued any lower. Pulling her up to him roughly, he slammed his mouth once more on hers and proceeded to remove her clothing. Clutching at her bottom he rubbed at the coarse fabric covering her ass and pushed her hips up against his groin, moaning in pleasure as she unconsciously rubbed against his erection. He tried pulling the cloth away, eager to get inside her warm wetness when he realized that the cloth didn't want to move. All the while Yukina continued kissing him passionately, stifling a groan as Kuwabara moved his hands down to her thighs.

______:_ What the hell is she wearing?! _: Kuwabara thought in frustration as he tugged once more at the cloth, which strangely seemed to extend down the length of her leg. :_ I never knew Yukina wore pants under that kimono of hers _: Kuwabara thought, trying to pull her clothing down. Still it didn't seem to budge. He was getting frantic and he moved his hands up to her waist, trying to find the garter there when his fingers collided against cold, smooth metal. He fumbled with it in confusion, wondering what it was. When he still couldn't seem to get the thing off her, he raised his body up from hers a bit, despite the insistent tugs she was giving him to kiss her once more and turned on the lamplight. " Now let's see what the hell that thing on you really is..." Kuwabara grumbled, looking down at the smooth metal he felt a while ago. A silver belt was wrapped around her waist and Kuwabara tried focusing his eyes on it. :_A silver belt? _: he thought in surprise, :_ It looks so much like..._:

______Yusuke placed the empty glasses of wine down on the table beside the fridge. :_ And now, down to some interesting business...finally!_: Yusuke thought, rubbing his hands together.

______" Yusuke, darling," he heard Keiko say behind him, " Hurry up and get into bed." Looking over his shoulder he saw Keiko's lithe body sprawled on top of the bed, her breasts peeking out a bit from the sexy nightdress she was wearing. Giving him a seductive wink she motioned for him to lay beside her, licking her lips in the process.

______Yusuke grinned. Keiko looked so different out of those manly pants or long skirts h was used to seeing her wear. Man, this was going to be a very long, pleasurable night! Yusuke moved over to where Keiko lay and sat down beside her, trailing a finger up her thigh, eliciting a small gasp from her. Leaning on her elbow, Keiko was about to unbutton his shirt when they heard a loud scream from outside.

______Yusuke's ears immediately perked up and Keiko stopped mid-button. They both could hear shouting from outside and Yusuke looked at Keiko. " Tell me if I'm wrong," he told her in confusion," but isn't that Kuwabara's voice I can hear shouting?"

______Keiko listened intently and turned to Yusuke once more. " It sure sounds like it!" Yusuke stood up in a hurry. " Do you think it could be one of those Reikai monsters again?" he said, a worried expression crossing his face. Keiko bit her lip. " Let me guess, you're going out?"

______Yusuke headed towards the door. " I'm sorry, but I have to Keiko, I mean, what of Kuwabara's in trouble?" Keiko sighed and dropped back against the bed. Yusuke stopped at the doorway. " I promise I'll be back soon Keiko, just, uh...be patient, please." " Yeah whatever," she said before Yusuke closed the door and ran towards Kuwabara's room. He checked the knob and finding it locked he kicked the door open with a bang. " Kuwabara, are you alright?!"

______Yusuke's mouth dropped open as he caught sight of a fully naked Kuwabara on the bed with Hiei. "Aieeeee!" Kuwabara screamed, grabbing a blanket and wrapping it around himself. Hiei continued to glare at Kuwabara, anger building up inside of him.

______" What...what's going on in here?" Yusuke asked weakly, looking from Kuwabara to Hiei and back again. Neither of them spoke and just continued glaring at each other. Looking at Kuwabara's naked body, Hiei's tousled hair and their angry expressions Yusuke was able to piece things together.

______" Hentai!!" Yusuke gasped out," D-don't tell me you guys were uh, doing it with each other?!!" Kuwabara and Hiei both glared at Yusuke. " Shut up!" they shouted in unison.

______Yusuke bit his lip, took one more look at Kuwabara and burst out laughing. He clutched at the door frame as he continued laughing his head off, tears streaming down his cheeks.

______" Hahahaha..n-no wonder you guys fight a lot! You're b-both explosive in and out of bed, hahahahaha!" Yusuke gasped out through his laughter. " Urameshi!" Kuwabara warned angrily, his fists clenched as he stood up angrily, the blanket falling to his feet. Kuwabara looked down and hurriedly jumped under the blankets on the bed again, turning beet-red. Yusuke saw this and laughed even harder. Hiei turned his glare on Yusuke and said, a dangerous tone in his voice, " If you know what's good for you, Urameshi you'll shut up."

______Yusuke tried clamping his mouth with his hands to stop his laughter and asked in a muffled voice, " How exactly did this happen ?"

______" None of your business," Hiei said, looking around for his katana. " Well, surely, you'll have to have something to explain to Kurama and Yukina once they ask where you two have been," Yusuke reasoned, trying to suppress his giggles. " Which reminds me, where are Kurama and Yukina if both of you are here,um together?"

______Kuwabara looked up in alarm and Hiei perked up. " Yukina!" Kuwabara exclaimed. He pointed at Hiei. " Then if you weren't Yukina and she was supposed to be here half an hour ago then..." " You thought Hiei was Yukina?!" Yusuke said in disbelief before chuckling, " Well, they are the same size!" Kuwabara didn't mind his friend though as he ran out the door, pulling his clothes on as he checked the hallways. No sign of Yukina.

______" Are you sure she isn't with you, Yusuke?" Kuwabara asked worriedly. Yusuke shook his head. " The main desk is closed as well as the other shops so she can't be downstairs," Kuwabara said.

______" I have to be getting back to Kurama," Hiei said moving out the doorway too. " Kurama!" Kuwabara exclaimed and ran to Kurama and Hiei's room, Yusuke and Hiei right behind him.

______" Wait!" Kuwabara said stopping short a few feet from the door, making Hiei and Yusuke collide with his back. " What the hell was that for?!" Hiei said, jabbing Kuwabara on the back angrily. Kuwabara turned towards Hiei. " You both have to promise that what happened now will never get out of this circle!"

______" You both have no choice," Yusuke said grinning," Kurama will kill Hiei if he ever finds out and Yukina will never forgive you, Kuwabara!" Hiei and Kuwabara both stared at him. " That just leaves one of us!" they both chortled. Yusuke smiled innocently at them.

______" Urameshi!" Kuwabara said angrily," If you tell anyone, even Keiko, I swear I'm going to cut you into little pieces and make Hiei roast you over and open fire!" They glared at him and Yusuke raised his hands up in defeat. " Okay, okay, I won't tell."

______" You better be sure about that!" Kuwabara grumbled as he opened the door. He stopped short once more causing Hiei and Yusuke to collide with his back again. " Would you stop doing that!" Hiei said, punching his side. Kuwabara ignored him though and rushed to the bed. He grabbed Kurama and started shaking him violently.

______Kurama opened his eyes groggily as Kuwabara started cursing at him, strangling his neck.

______" Uck..Kuwa-Kuwabara..wha-what's ..urgh...wrong?!" Kurama asked, trying to pull Kuwabara's hands away from his neck.

______" You're sleeping with my wife, you a$$#*le!" Kuwabara said shaking him. He was about to strangle the life out of Kurama when Hiei threw a hard punch against Kuwabara, smashing him against the wall. " Don't ever touch him again," he said gruffly. Kurama smiled to thank him but Hiei turned away, a pained expression on his face. " Hiei--" Kurama began to say but the fire demon rushed out of the room. " Hiei!" he called out before he started coughing out.

______Roused by the commotion, Yukina rubbed her eyes gently, wondering what was happening. "What's going on?" she asked softly. " Kuwa-san! What are you doing here? Kurama!" she said in alarm as Kurama held his neck in fits of coughing. Kuwabara stood up. " Y-Yukina," he said in a broken voice, pain etched clearly across his face, " How...how could you?!"

______Yukina looked at him in confusion then realized she must've fallen asleep and how it must've looked to them. " Oh Kuwa-san," she said hurriedly," It's not what you think. I wasn't sleeping with Kurama. After you locked me out, I began panicking and he was only comforting me because I was afraid of the dark. I just happened to have fallen asleep because I was so tired, that's all."

______" Then why isn't he wearing anything?!" Kuwabara said, suspiciously eyeing Kurama. Yukina looked at Kurama in surprise. " I wasn't wearing anything because I was waiting for HIEI, okay?!" Kurama said sighing and looking out the door, wishing the koorime could hear him right now. " Yukina just happened to fall asleep before I could tell her and I couldn't exactly go up to change cause it would wake her and she looked really tired okay? If Hiei had come here sooner, you would have seen me sleeping with him on the floor instead while Yukina takes the bed because someone here locked her out! Can you explain that?!"

______Yusuke stifled a laugh and watched as Kuwabara turned red. " I--I guess I should apologize," he told both of them, "I'm sorry about locking you out, Yukina, I didn't mean to and I'm sorry too, Kurama for jumping into a lot of conclusions." Kurama smiled. " It's okay. Just take Yukina back with you already. She looks really tired." Kuwabara nodded and gathered his wife up into his arms before leaving the room. Yusuke smiled. " I guess I should be getting back to Keiko myself. She's probably really pissed at me by now."

______" Good luck explaining things to her," Kurama said smiling. Yusuke nodded. " Same goes for you and Hiei." Yusuke closed the door behind him and Kurama sighed, wondering where Hiei could be. He tried scanning around for his him but it was either Hiei had left the place or he was just masking his qi. He stood up and opened the window to get some fresh air. Kurama was surprised to find a familiar figure sitting out on the window ledge a few windows away. Biting his lip he called out:

______" Hiei, it's getting cold out here. Get inside before you catch cold!" But Hiei just continued to sit there. " I'm a fire demon, baka! I don't get cold."

______" Well, will you come inside anyway? We haven't been together for the whole night and this is supposed to be our wedding night." Hiei turned around to look at him, his face unreadable as he glared stonily at Kurama. "That's what I thought, too. You know you should've just told me you liked her in the first place instead of using me as a replacement cause it's not going to happen Kurama. I'm not going to be anyone's replacement!"

______Kurama sighed. So that was what Hiei thought, that he only liked him because Yukina was taken already. After all, they were brother and sister so there really wasn't that much of a difference. But to Kurama there was a difference, a very distinct one too. And that was the fact that he loved Hiei and not Yukina. Pulling himself out, Kurama climbed on top of the window ledge and moved carefully towards Hiei. :_ Please don't run away,_: he pleaded in his head, :_ not until I can explain things_:

______" What do you want fox?! Just leave me alone!" Hiei said coldly. Kurama grabbed Hiei's shoulders and roughly turned him towards himself. " Not until I get it into your head that it's you that I love and no one else. Yukina came to me, shivering cause she was afraid of the dark, okay? I was only trying to comfort her till you got back and I probably would've let you do the honors of calming her fears. But you didn't show up and I fell asleep waiting for you, the person I wanted to spend a romantic evening with...the person I want to spend my whole life with!"

______" Hiei," he said softly, brushing a finger against his cheek, " You have to understand me. Now that we're married you have to learn to trust me. Trust me, Hiei. And know always that whatever happens, whatever you see or hear against your beliefs about me, it's always you that I love and no one else. That's the truth."

______Hiei continued to regard Kurama with that unreadable expression of his and Kurama feared that even his words couldn't get through the barrier Hiei had built around himself anymore. He released his hold on Hiei and drew his knees up, wrapping his arms around himself, suddenly feeling very cold, inside as well as outside. Kurama stared down at the street below, trying hard not to show the pain that was resonating within him. Hiei just stared at him, saying nothing at all.

______" Okay, if that's how you want it," Kurama said nodding his head slowly, looking everywhere else except at Hiei. A tear slipped from his cheek and Kurama felt his eyes blur with tears. " I'm sorry I even tried..." he choked out before crawling back into the window quickly, hoping Hiei had not seen him on the verge of tears. He pulled the window shut and curled himself up on the bed, dropping his head into his hands. A sharp pain seared through his heart and he tried to squeeze himself together hoping to stop the dull ache that was forming from within as his body was racked with sobs.

______Suddenly, Kurama felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his waist and a warm face pressed softly against his back. " I trust you Kurama," Hiei said kissing the back of Kurama's neck slowly. Kurama felt chills run down his spine but he continued to hide his face away from Hiei. " But...but do you love me, Hiei?"

______" Hn," he blurted out, his kisses moving down the base of Kurama's spine. Kurama couldn't help but shiver a bit. Kurama couldn't help feeling a bit hurt that Hiei still found it hard to tell him that he loved him. It should have been easier for him now that they were married. But it wasn't. :_ Maybe someday..._: Kurama thought with hope,:_ And I'll still be waiting by then..._:

______" H-Hiei," he told him, his face turned away," C-can I go wipe my eyes first and fix myself up for you..I-I look like a mess and..."

______Hiei turned Kurama's face towards him and Kurama looked away, ashamed to have Hiei see the tears spilling down his cheeks. " You're always beautiful to me, kitsune." he told Kurama before proceeding to lick Kurama's tars away. Kurama sighed and closed his eyes. Hiei moved his lips down his neck, giving it small butterfly kisses. He trailed his tongue down Kurama's chest, pushing him down softly against the bed. His teeth grazed a nipple and Kurama gave a small gasp of pleasure. Teasing his nipples with his fingertips, Hiei drew his lips slowly down the muscles in Kurama's abdomen as Kurama's gasps deepened into moans. Hiei smiled as his tongue delved down, lower and lower. He had an advantage since Kurama was already fully naked. He brushed his lips softly around Kurama's stomach before concentrating on the center of Kurama's arousal. Taking his cock firmly in his hands, Hiei began moving his hands up and down the length of Kurama's arousal, massaging it slowly. Kurama moaned in pleasure, his hands clenching against the bed sheets as he tried to control himself.

______:_ No, I can't spill,_: he thought as Hiei continued his slow seduction, :_ Not until I can give him pleasure._: Kurama vowed he'd make Hiei spill first before he reached any sort of orgasm. " Hiei...please," he gasped out," You're still...fully...clothed...I..uh..I...oh god...please... take...your clothes o--"

______" I'm not falling for that," Hiei said grinning deviously," I'm going to make you suffer first." And Kurama felt his resolve crumble around him as he felt Hiei take his erection into his warm mouth, suckling slowly. Hiei felt Kurama's body grow as taut as a bow string, his hips pushing higher and offering his body up to him, encouraging Hiei to deepen his suckling. Hiei was enjoying this. Kurama was completely at his mercy. " Hiei...stop it...please...uh...just... hurry," Kurama said, his breath increasing with every stroke Hiei made. Cupping Kurama's balls in his hands, Hiei rolled them around in his palm before pressing them against the base of the cock, speeding up his suckling. Kurama lost it then and in one final spasm he reached his climax, spilling his seed neatly into Hiei's mouth who greedily took it in.

______Kurama lay gasping and catching his breath as Hiei crawled up to him, grinning devilishly. " Did you enjoy that, kitsune?" he asked. Kurama nodded before pulling Hiei down beside him. " Now it's my turn to make you suffer. You're really going to get it now, Hiei." Kurama leaned down to kiss him but Hiei held a hand up before their lips could touch. " Before anything, kitsune, I have just one thing to say..."

______" What is it, Hiei?!" Kurama said impatiently.

______" Ai shiteru, Kurama."

______Yusuke walked slowly back to his room, groping in the dark and cursing himself for not bringing a light, as well as Kuwabara and Hiei for drawing him out of a nice warm evening with Keiko. " Damn it, where is that door!" he grumbled angrily, turning the knob of the umpteenth door. Finally the knob clicked and thee door opened. " At last!" Yusuke said tiredly," Thank god I've found you, Keiko!" Keiko's form stirred in the bed softly and she turned towards Yusuke and whispered groggily," Close the door will you, you're letting the cold air in!"

______Yusuke shut the door behind him and proceeded to unbutton his shirt and discard all of his clothing, impatient to get into bed with Keiko already. " Sorry for making you wait that long, love. I hope you aren't tired yet."

______" Hmmm," she murmured drowsily from her part of the bed. Yusuke slipped in beside her, putting an arm around her. " Aww, Keiko," he said while kissing her neck and trailing soft kiss down her face," Why did you change your nightgown? I liked the one you were wearing awhile ago."

______" I was feeling kind of cold," she told him. He nibbled on her earlobe , his breath tickling her ear. " But it was so much easier to get you out of. No matter," he told her as he slipped his hand up her thigh and pushed her nightgown upwards," I'll just take care of that." He turned her towards him and pulled her nightgown off, revealing soft plump breasts which he cupped eagerly in his hands.

______" B-but," Keiko protested weakly before Yusuke put a finger to her lips. " Shhh," he told her," I promise I'll make it up to you for waiting. Just trust me." He moved his mouth down and began teasing her nipples slowly, eliciting a gasp of pleasure from Keiko. He took her whole breast firmly in his mouth and suckled hard. Keiko wriggled in ecstasy under his grasp. He moved on to the next breast and did the same, pinching the last one in between his finger tips.

______" Oh god, yees..go on," Keiko said as Yusuke moved down her body, licking her stomach and stopping lightly where the small, lace lingerie covered her naked sex. Pulling the only remaining barrier they had in between them, Yusuke proceeded to push Keiko's legs further apart to which she so gladly obliged, moaning in pleasure as she felt Yusuke's head go in between her thighs. Using the flat of his tongue, he began teasing at the tiny nub where ecstasy centered, painstakingly slow, the sweet friction causing Keiko to spasm. Continuing with his slow seduction it wasn't long before Keiko reached an earth-shattering orgasm falling limply into his hands. Yusuke grinned and proceeded to mount her, his cock already throbbing in anticipation for her warm welcome. " I hope you're ready for me, Keiko."

______" Give it to me," she croaked, her breath coming in short ragged gasps. Wrapping her legs around him, Yusuke began to insert his cock slowly into the folds of her sex and in minutes they began the slow roller-coaster movements of mating with each other.

______He drove into her again and again, his ardor arousing her and driving her into a passion. They continued on and on, far into the night...

______Keiko sat at the breakfast table, sipping coffee and watching the two happy couples walking towards her. Yukina and Kuwabara moved to some seats near her, two identical sappy smiles on their faces while Kurama had his arm wrapped firmly around Hiei's waist. Even Hiei seemed to have a certain twinkle in his eye.

______" I take it you all had a good time last night," Keiko said, smiling at them wryly. Yukina blushed and Kurama grinned back. " The very best," he told Keiko, winking at Hiei," Did you enjoy yourself, Keiko?" Keiko laughed dryly.

______" I probably would have if Yusuke decided to show up last night. As it was I spent my time waiting in a cold, empty bed, wearing a stupid nightgown that kept me freezing the whole night!" Keiko said angrily, banging her cup down on its saucer.

______" But I remember he was even in a hurry to leave last night just to get to you. I wonder what happened to him?!" Kurama said, puzzled. Keiko frowned. " Well, we'll find out soon enough. And when we do, I swear he's not going to get off that easily!"

______Yusuke opened his eyes as he felt sunlight pour in through the window. Smiling groggily to himself, he closed his eyes once more as he recounted the memories of last night in his mind. He had made love to Keiko about four times and the last one was definitely the best. Yusuke turned to put an arm around Keiko and cuddled her body up to his chest. " Good morning, sonny," she heard him say.

______Wait a minute.

______Sonny?!

______Yusuke opened his eyes... and found himself staring into the eyes of a wrinkly old woman. Yusuke jumped from the bed, falling to the floor as he stared at her in shock. " Who are you?!"

______" I'm the woman you made love to," she told him smiling. " My, my, but you do have a sexy body, don't you!" Yusuke continued to stare at her. " What do you mean?! Where's Keiko? What have you done with her? Where is she?!" The old lady shrugged.

______" Well, I don't know which other Keiko you're talking about but my name is Kieko Yamagata. I must say you remind me of my late husband. He used to make love to me exactly the same way you did last night," she told him. " You were pretty good, I..." Yusuke failed to hear her next words though as he fell to the floor in a faint.

I hope you enjoyed this little piece of fiction that popped into my head after reading Bulma-chan's fan fic YYH: The Weddings. You can say it's a sort of continuation, so if you want to see what happeneed before this, please read her fic first.;-) A big thank you to Bulma Briefs for the inspiration! And to Togashi for making Yu Yu Hakusho (duh!) and all the gorgeous characters in it!

Yusuke: That was the worst piece of fic I've ever read! Where do you get your crazy ideas?!
Kuwabara: Hey...why don't I have a intimate scene with my Yukina!
Keiko: At least it was implied that you had it...I didn't get anything!
Botan and Koenma: Neither did we!!!
Keiko Yamagata: I don't know about all of you but I enjoyed it!!
