Hiei was in the Makai. He was fighting against a guy who kidded him for his short height. He blew him with a punch hurling that guy against a rocky wall that cracked. Some stones fell down and Hiei saw a cavity. In that cavity he saw a round, small bottle. He took that object examining it. Not far from him some yookai were discussing but no one was talking about the bottle he had just found. He was a little curious so he opened it and poured some drops of the liquid inside on the palm of his left hand. It was a bitter-sweet fragrance, but nothing very interesting. He put the small bottle into the pocket of his black coat and decided to go to the Ningenkai to visit his friends. He was a little annoyed so he chose a way where he was sure to not meet with anybody.

When he arrived in the Ningenkai it was very late so he decided to go to Kurama's house. He jumped to reach the window-sill of his friend's bedroom and stayed there saying: "A long time since we meet last time!". He was sure to surprise his friend, and he really surprised him, but not the way he thought… Kurama turned his face to see his friend staying near the window, then he quickly reached him and hugged him strongly. Hiei blushed and in a moment they embrace each other. Kurama loosened the hug only to look into Hiei's eyes and tell him: "Hiei, I missed you so much!" "Me too…" Hiei bashfully replied. Kurama lowered his head closing his eyes and kissed him lightly, Hiei widened his eyes and blushed more, but Kurama didn't stop and turned the light kiss into a passionate but sweet one, so Hiei closed his eyes and returned the kiss. Softly, Kurama stopped, then whispered: "Hiei, I have loved you for a long time, but this night I want you to be mine!", Hiei blushed even more and clumsily replied "M - me too"; Kurama gave him another passionate kiss slipping his scarf off; then Hiei looked into his friend's eyes and whispered: "Kurama, I want you, I have always wanted you …and I have always loved you, even if I didn't realized it" "Hiei, I'm yours, I'll be yours forever and ever" "Me too!" Hiei replied, this time with a smile of resoluteness.

Following morning, while they were dressing themselves again, Hiei found the little bottle on the floor and gave it to his lover-friend. "What's this?" Kurama asked him, but he replied: "I don't know, I've found it in the Makai; I think it's perfumed water". They spent the morning together as two ordinary friends and went out for a stroll, then Hiei had to leave. They said good-bye with a kiss full of love, then they parted. Kurama opened the small bottle and, when he realized the liquid inside was a perfume, he poured some drops on some fingers of his left hand to examine it.

A little later he met with Keiko "Good morning, Kuramasan!" she said and she approached him with a strange look. Keiko's body touched Kurama's, so he withdrew, but Keiko approached him again, getting Kurama with his back to the wall. "Kuramasan, I want to be yours …now!" Kurama didn't replied, he only tried to withdraw approaching the wall as much as possible. But Keiko touched him with her body again and shaved his neck with her right hand, then rested it on his left cheek. Kurama felt very confused, the only thing he was sure of was he couldn't betray his good friend Yuusuke, moreover the only person he loved was Hiei! Keiko brushed her right leg against Kurama's left one and said "Kuramasan, I want you, please, let me be yours!" and tried to kiss him, "Please, forgive me, Keikochan, I don't think you aren't a charming girl, but you know I can't…" he replied and flung his Rose Whip up blinding it to the top of the building behind him. "Please, Kuramasan…!!", but he was gone.

"This perfume can be very dangerous! So Hiei and I last night… only because of this perfume! I have to admit I don't regret it _at this thought he blushed a little_ , but I think Hiei could be very angry at this moment! Even if…" the small bottle slipped out of his pocket and fell down and someone very known took it before it could reach the ground.

Yuusuke uncorked it and smelled it "As I thought, it's a scent!" and put on a little of that perfume "It smell good, I'll present it to Keiko!". Yuusuke put the small bottle into his pocket and went on walking when he heard a cheerful voice calling him "Hi, Yuusuke!!", "Hi, Botan!" he replied. "Yuusuke, today you're so… so sexy!!" "What!?" "Really, I feel so attracted by you… " and she began slipping Yuusuke's jacket off. "What are you doing, Botan!??" he couldn't understand the reason of Botan's unusual behaviour, but he was unconsciously beginning to like it. "Yuusuke, I want you! Yuusuke… " "But, Botan…" "I have always liked you, since the first time we met… " "Botan, I … ". Yuusuke couldn't resist longer, Botan was such a pretty girl, moreover that day she was so sensuous, he had to admit he liked her, even if he loved Keiko, but now Keiko was so far from his thoughts… "Come with me, Botan!" "Where?" "My home is more comfortable than this street, isn't it?!".

Yuusuke took the small bottle from the pocket of his jacket and gave Botan it "Take it, Botan", "Ooh, nice! Is this a perfume?", "Yes, a perfume, I want to present you with it to remember the wonderful moments we spent together", "Thank you very much, Yuuchan!". Botan put on that perfume and went out to go to Genkai's temple.

There she met Yukina. She was alone because Genkai was out for a stroll in the wood. "Hi, Yukinachan!" "Good morning, Botansan". Yukina approached her "Botansan, let me be yours" "What do you mean, Yukinachan?!" "I want to be yours, you are so beautiful… " "But… " "As I thought, you don't like me, I'm so sad!" "Oh, no, I like you… " "So you like me!" "… I… I … Yes, I like you, but not the way you think!" "Do you think I'm not charming?" "No, you are charming, but… " "But…?" "We are both girls!" "I know it". Yukina embraced Botan looking in her eyes with a pleading look "I beg you, Botansan, let me be yours, only one time". Botan really didn't know what was right to do, Yukina was so beautiful, her face was so delicate, her eyes so sweet… Slowly, she shaved her left cheek with her right hand, her skin was so soft… "Yukinachan, why do you want to be mine?" "I… don't know, I only want it, it's something I've never felt before" "Well, I understand now" Botan said thinking "I had the suspicion that Hiei liked Kurama, now I know Yukina likes me… Maybe the koorime and the koorio, or what they are named, are all… Women like women and men like men!! The people from Makai has strange tastes! I also noticed that Kurama likes Hiei, so also the yooko are… ? Now I have to decide what to do. Yukinachan is very lovely and I like her… I could content her, it could be a pleasant thing to do!", "Why do you say nothing? I beg you, Botansan…" Yukina asked, Botan didn't replied, only asked her: "Are you sure you want…?" "I'm sure". Botan hugged her stronger, then undid the knot of the waistband of her kimono and very slowly began to slip it off.

When Botan leaved the temple, she forgot to carry the perfume with her. When Yukina found it, she wondered what that small bottle could be and she put it in a place where whoever could see it. Genkai saw it, but she didn't take any interest in it. Some hours later Yuusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko, Kurama and Shizuru came to the temple to visit Genkai. Kuwabara saw the small bottle and decided to present it to Yukina "Please, Kuwabarakun, don't touch it! Please, give me that bottle" Kurama said, "Why?! I need it, I'll present it to Yukinasan!" "You haven't to give Yukinasan this perfume…" but he stopped and tought: "If I'll tell him what this perfume can do, he surely will use it!", so he only tried to take it, but, while they contended for it, Shizuru took it without any problem and Kuwabara was very angry and tried to beat Kurama. Shizuru went out and gave Keiko the small bottle. "I've found it into the temple, do you like it? Genkaisan said it isn't hers, do you want it?", Keiko uncorked it and smelled the perfume, "I think it's for men, you can give it to Yuusuke", "Well" Shizuru said and she went to find him. Keiko felt very guilty "I tried to seduce Kuramasan… please, forgive me, Yuusuke, you are the only person I really love!". In the meantime Shizuru gave the bottle to Yuusuke, "Thank you!" he said and put on the perfume, then he thought: "I feel so guilty, I betrayed Keiko! I love only her, I'm so stupid!!". Keiko saw him and approached him "Yuusuke… I…" "Keiko… I…" "Yuusuke, my love, I want you!!" "Keiko, I love you too!" they embraced each other and kissed passionately. Shizuru smiled, "So that's an aphrodisiac perfume!" she thought and she took the small bottle. Keiko and Yuusuke's passion made their friends curious, so the two lovers went and search for a more discreet place.

Shizuru thought "I can use this perfume with my sweet Yukinachan! If we both use it, maybe we… ", then she heard a soft voice "Shizurusan…" "Kuramakun…" "Where are you going?" "Did you see Yukinachan?" "Sorry, I don't know where Yukinachan is… I've to go now, good-bye" "Good-bye, Kuramakun" …but Shizuru didn't notice Kurama had took her precious bottle using his ancient ability as a thief! Finally Shizuru met Yukina who was very happy to see her "Good afternoon, Shizurusan!" she said and, hugging her, she kissed her. Shizuru was confused "But… I didn't put on the perfume! …So Yukinachan really loves me!" she thought, then she returned the kiss.

Meanwhile Kurama went to the Makai to meet Yomi. "Kurama, I'm glad to see you, why are you here?" "Please, Yomi, keep this small bottle, then I'll explain everything" "I'll do it, but what is it?" "It's a perfume, please, don't let anybody see it!". When he was gone, Yomi poured some drops on some fingers of his left hand, "It's only a perfume, but why did he brought it here?" he thought, then put it into his safe. Yomi had to see Mukuro for some Makai affairs, so he went to her home. When she saw him, she jumped at him saying: "Yomi, I want you!!".

Kurama had gone to Reikai, there he asked Koenma to let him read some books of his library. Kurama found a book about Reikai artifacts and in that book the Reikai Koi no Koosui (Reikai Passion Perfume, that perfume was produced in Reikai, but a yookai had stolen it and carried it in Makai) was described, so he read everything about it, then thought: "As I thought, if someone meets with the person who used that perfume and talk with him or her, he or she feel an irresistible attraction for that person and lose the control of his or her actions, but the person who put on the perfume don't undergo any effects", then "That means… Hiei really loves me. I have to meet him again to talk about what happened last night, we have to make everything clear, then we'll decide what's right to do".

Meawhile Hiei heard two very old yookai talking about something interesting: "Somebody stole the Reikai Koi no Koosui" "I heard about it, that scent can be a danger!" "Yes, but it can be useful too! For example, if you like someone, but she doesn't like you, you can put on that scent, so she'll feel an insane passion for you!" "I know, but in any case, she'd not love you!". Hiei stared, "So Kurama doesn't love me! _he thought_ I didn't have to tell him about my feelings, next time I'll met him, he'll surely laugh at me! I'll better avoid to see him and the others for a long while, hoping he'll forget everything and I'll forget everything too!".
