Chapter One

Hiei was pacing the floor of Kagome’s apartment. He had heard rumors but he just had to know for sure. Well, the information had come from Kuwabara and there was no telling how accurate it was. Especially considering that the human still fancied himself in love with Yukina after he had been informed of just who her brother was. Even Yukina telling him that he was a wonderful friend but they couldn't be more hadn't seemed to deter him. So when Kuwabara had come to him with this bit of news it had come as a shock. There was no way that his sister was dating his best friend and partner. No way! If Kurama had wanted to date Yukina then he should have had the common decency to ask his permission first. But Kurama hadn’t done that, hadn’t even made any mention at all of any plans he might have had with his sister.

‘There’s only one way to settle this. I’ve got to know for sure.’ “Kagome! I’m going out. Don’t bother to hold dinner, I don’t know when I’ll be back.” Hiei stopped his pacing long enough to grab his cloak and katana before he stormed out the door, He didn’t know what he would do if he got the Kurama’s apartment and Yukina was there, but he was sure that he would let the kitsune know what was on his mind. With his fists if necessary.

It didn’t take him long to cross town and make it over the apartment building where Kurama lived. He leaped up into the tree that was growing by the side of the building and settled down to wait. It didn’t take long.

The lights came on in the living room but for some reason Kurama had only turned them on to the dimmest setting making it impossible to see inside even though the curtains were very thin. Soft voices could be heard and the sound of slight laughter filtered its way to Hiei’s sensitive ears. Female laughter. Yukina’s laughter.

‘Okay, so they’re going to have dinner. I guess that doesn’t make it an official date since they’re eating at his apartment.’ Hiei tried to reason as shifted slightly on his branch, settling to get more comfortable. After dinner was over he could knock on the door under the pretense of stopping by to chat and escort her safely home. Yes, that would work nicely. Yukina wouldn’t be upset because she thought she was being watched over, Kurama wouldn’t be upset by the idea of Hiei spying on him, and Hiei would be happy because his sister would be safely home. ‘And then I can knock the crap out of him for having my sister alone in his apartment.’

Two hours later Hiei was still sitting on his branch and starting to grumble to himself. ‘No one takes that long to eat dinner. No one. Don’t they know that it gets boring out here sitting and waiting on them?’ His attention perked up again as he heard them get up from the dinner table, now maybe she would be ready to go home.

And he almost couldn’t believe his eyes as the lights came on in the bedroom. ‘He must be getting his coat. That must be it. He’s getting his coat.’ There was absolutely no way the kitsune would put the moves on his sister. It was unthinkable! Hiei’s eyes were almost falling out of his head and he was straining his ears, trying to catch every low whisper of sound. When he couldn’t hear enough to satisfy his curiosity and growing anxiety he quietly leaped over to the windowsill making sure his energy was well masked.

Kurama and Yukina had just finished a very nice dinner. Kurama was a really good cook when he chose to be and it didn’t hurt matters any that he had added some spices from his own private collection. It wasn't often that he used Makai herbs but he knew that Yukina likely missed having a taste of home. He walked into the bedroom intent on grabbing his jacket, it was beginning to get chilly at night. Youko chose that moment to voice his opinion as they walked past the bed.

‘You must be losing your touch if you’re going to just let this moment slip away Kurama. Let me take control and I’ll show you just what that bed and a beautiful young woman can be good for together.’ Youko was painting all kinds of images in the back of Kurama’s mind and they were all highly sexual in nature. It had been too long since their last encounter and to put it lightly, Youko was horny. Not that Kurama really minded all that much, but this was his partners sister, so he tried to protest anyway. Hiei would never forgive him if he laid a hand on the girl.

‘Youko, we just can’t. That’s Hiei’s sister. He’ll kill us if we do and he finds out. Hell, I haven’t even asked his permission to date his sister and you’re already trying to drag her into the sack. You’re just trying to get us killed, you know that don’t you?’ He was broken out of his internal argument when Yukina walked into the room with a questioning look on her face.

Yukina wasn't certain what was wrong with him but something seemed to be bothering him. She walked up to him, gently putting her hands on his face. “I got worried Kurama, you were taking so long to get your coat. Are you okay? You’re looking rather flushed. You’re not getting sick or anything are you?”

All arguments fled out of Kurama’s head as he looked at the girl holding his face and took in just how beautiful she looked at that moment. Her hair was loose and flowing down her back, her eyes soft and glowing, and her moist lips were parted slightly as she watched him standing there. It was at that point that Kurama knew he had lost, his body was already responding to Youko’s ideas and the sight of Yukina sitting there.

Kurama's hand reached up and lightly touched Yukina's. All thoughts of Hiei and his reactions flew out of his head as he stared down into Yukina's eyes. Without looking away he lead her over to the bed and sat down with her. The look of trust and innocence that she gave him was enough to make even Youko go silent in his head. Tentatively he leaned forward, brushing his lips softly against hers.

Yukina looks up at him in surprise yet she did not push him away. She had wondered how it would feel to kiss him and she decided that she rather liked it. Slowly she leaned forward, wanting to feel his lips on hers once more. Kurama met her advance slowly, giving her time to back away if she wanted. When their lips met he nibbled gently on her lower lip, prompting her to open up to him. When she did his tongue slid into her mouth, groaning when her own tongue came up hesitantly to brush up against his. He kept the kiss slow and gentle, not wanting to overwhelm her too quickly. he finally pulled back from her, trying to gather his thoughts. "Yukina I don't know that we should do this..."


Yukina silence him with another kiss, this had been something that she had been curious about for a long time and she was attracted to Kurama. Why shouldn't they? She'd been surprised and pleased when he had asked her out, even more so when he had kissed her. "Please don't talk. Just show me Kurama. Please?"


Kurama merely nodded, his hand slowly going to her obi and untying it slowly. Her kimono fell open, exposing her breasts to him. He slid the material down over her shoulders and then laid her gently down on the bed. His fingers caressed her bare breast as his lips claimed hers again. He could tell that she enjoyed the attention by the way her heart began to flutter. Kurama turned his attention to her next, sucking on the pale skin as his hand slid over her tense stomach and then lower underneath her panties, burying his fingers in the soft curls that hid her treasure from his sight. Her breath hitched as he rubbed the tiny jewel nestled between her folds, he knew that it wouldn't take long for her to find her release. He moved his fingers quickly as he watched her trembling under the attention. Yukina began to pant, she knew something was about to happen, the tension was indescribable. Suddenly the tension snapped, waves of pleasure began to wash over her as she whispered his name. "Kurama"


He waited for her to calm down before moving off of the bed. He smiled down at her as he began to remove his own clothing, letting the material drop to the floor. He knelt down on the bed over her and slowly began to pull her panties down. She lifted her hips to aide him and finished removing her kimono at the same time, dropping it to the floor next to his clothes. It was time, she had waited so long for this and now that it was finally happening she was anxious. A slight edge of fear crept in when her gaze slid down, taking in the size of his manhood. Would it fit? She wasn't entirely certain and she knew it was likely to be a bit painful even if it did.


Kurama laid over her, careful not to put too much weight on the small Koorime. His hand caressed her cheek. "Are you sure Yukina?" He ignored the way Youko was objecting in his head. This would be her decision, if she wanted to stop then he would do so and no amount of protesting from his other half would change that. When she smiled slightly and nodded he positioned himself between her legs, nudging the farther apart. Slowly he began to ease himself in, not wanting to cause her any more pain than necessary. He felt her barrier give way but didn't stop until he was fully seated inside her. He held her gently as he watched the tears roll from her eyes and solidify into Hiroseki stones. He regretted causing her pain but it couldn't be helped.


Yukina bit her lip to keep from crying out. It hurt more than she had been expecting but she endured it. Gradually the burning sensation eased and she shifted underneath him. Her arms slid around him as he began to move within her. One arm wrapping around his neck to pull him down towards her. Time seemed to stand still as they kissed, his pace never slowing. She could feel that tension building again and welcomed it. He seemed to sense it too, quickening his pace and moving his mouth to taste her flesh again.


He could feel she was close and slid one hand down between their joined bodies to help push her over the edge. As her walls began to pulse around him signaling her release his teeth sank deep within her shoulder, marking her as his. Her cry echoed through the room, a mix of both pleasure and pain as he spilled his seed deep within her body. Gently he pulled away from her neck, lapping up the blood that had begun to flow.

Hiei stared in shock when he heard Yukina cry out. 'Absolutely not! There's no way that's what that was!' He couldn’t believe what his ears were telling him was happening in that room. ‘There is no way that Kurama is doing that! With my sister? Kitsune you had better be prepared to die!’ With that thought in his head Hiei slammed his shoulder against the glass and came tumbling into the room amid a shower of glass. He jumped to his feet and glared at his partner. It was true, how had this happened? “Yukina get up and get dressed, I’m taking you home! Now!”

Yukina let out a squeal and pulled a blanket up to cover herself. Kurama had already pulled away from her to glare at the fire apparition standing in his bedroom. He was displeased at the interruption but Hiei didn't look any happier. Once he was certain Yukina was well covered he stood, not caring in the least that he was nude. Unfortunately doing so proved to Hiei exactly what he had interrupted by coming through the window.

Hiei's eyes darkened in anger as he saw the proof of his sister's virginity covering Kurama's manhood. “You …. You… you were her first! You did this knowing that she had never been with anyone before? And you still did it? Kitsune you will die!” Hiei was seeing red over this little fact, it was bad enough that the kitsune had bedded his sister but to take her virginity was far worse.

Kurama slowly walked past Hiei and snatched a towel out of the bathroom, wrapping it around his waist. He was not at all amused by being interrupted or by the tone of voice that Hiei was using with him. “Hiei, you will go out into the living room and let Yukina put some clothes on. You came here unannounced, you broke in my window, and you think you are making demands? I think you are more then a little out of place. So go out there and wait for us, we will be out shortly.” Kurama’s eyes were flickering between green and gold, showing Youko’s influence. Hiei looked from Kurama to Yukina and back. “Two minutes!” he growled. “And not a second more or I shall be back in here and cut your heart out!” With that he turned and stalked out of the room slamming the door behind him.

Kurama sighed and looked down at Yukina, his eyes traveling over her length hungrily. “I guess we’d better get up and go out there before he finishes destroying my apartment. But we will finish this later, I promise.” Kurama may have reached completion once but he was far from finished with her. She had asked him to show her and there was so much more that he had planned to help her experience. He handed her the clothes that had been lying on top of his own before he pulled his own trousers on, noting with pleasure the way her eyes followed his every move.

Hiei was stalking back and forth across the living room floor and watching the clock with ever step. He was just about ready to go back and break down the bedroom door when it opened and Yukina followed Kurama out. Nothing was said as the two of them sat down on the couch.

Kurama broke the silence before Hiei began to vent his anger. “Okay, you busted into my apartment, you barged into my bedroom and you broke my window. You interrupted a very nice evening that Yukina and I were having all to ourselves. One that you weren’t invited to I might add. What do you think you’re doing Hiei? Is it Yukina that you’re spying on or is it me?”

Hiei was just about to tell Kurama that he could go to hell when Yukina spoke up and stopped him cold in his tracks.

“Hiei, why are you so angry?” Yukina asked softly, her voice close to tears. “Kurama didn’t do anything wrong, I came over here, he didn’t drag me.” Yukina looked down at her hands that were twisting in her lap, then looked back up at Hiei and continued. “I wanted this to happen Hiei. I guess you don’t realize it but when I’ve spent the night over at Kagome’s apartment and you are there, I can hear you through the walls. So I wanted to know, you always sound like you’re enjoying yourself and Kagome is always smiling after. Why is it okay for you to do this and not me? Don't you want me to be happy?”

Both men stared in shock at her with this little revelation. Hiei felt like he had been hit in the back of the head with a board. This just wasn’t his day He had never even considered the possibility that his sister might have been listening when he had been mating with Kagome. As for Kurama he was having to listen to Youko in his head, going on about how Yukina had wanted them all along and the things he would show her the next time they were in bed together.

All three of them looked up when a knock came at the door. Kurama got up and answered it and came back with Kagome in tow. “We might as well be having a party.”

Kagome had gotten tired of waiting for Hiei to come back to the apartment and had gone looking for him. It was only natural that Kurama’s apartment would be the first place that she would look. And she had hit pay dirt. But when she walked in the door, it was immediately apparent that something was very wrong. “So, who wants to tell me what’s going on?”

Everyone told Kagome what had happened from their point of view. She sighed, seeing how the problems had happened. Hiei should have figured out that his sister was going to get curious about sex sooner or later, he had some incredible blind spots. He always had a hard time seeing her as a grown young woman. And Kurama was an incredibly sexy man. It was a natural attraction. Personally Kagome thoroughly approved of the match, it made as much sense as her and Hiei. And Kurama had already marked the girl though Kagome doubted that Hiei had noticed that yet. Otherwise the apartment would have been a bloodbath.
It was Yukina that inadvertently brought attention to the marking. She brought her hand up to her shoulder, rubbing the soreness there that didn’t seem to go away. She was more then a little surprised when her fingers came away with a trace amount of blood on them. She knew what it meant but she was surprised that he had done so. Was it him or Youko who had made the decision? She looked at Kurama with questions in her eyes, but it was Hiei who jumped up and rage coloring his voice when he realized just what Kurama had done. “The bastard has marked you as his mate!”

Kurama stood up to face Hiei as a growl from Youko sounded deep in his chest. “Perhaps Hiei, instead of worrying so much about the fact that I have chosen to mark Yukina, you should tend to your own business at home? It is after all your woman that is pregnant, not mine. Don’t you think it’s about time you got around to marking her as well?” The look in Kurama’s eyes was positively malicious with the look of surprise that crossed Hiei and Kagome’s face.

Hiei turned round on Kagome and demanded; “Tell me Kagome. Are you pregnant and haven’t bothered to tell me?”

Kagome was shocked. Her period was only a couple of days late but that was nothing unusual. “Uh, not that I know of Hiei. But I do know of a way to find out. Come on Hiei, we’re making a trip to the store.” She turned and looked at Kurama. “And if it is true, then thank you for telling me, if it isn’t true, I’ll skin you for putting me through this.” With those parting words, she took Hiei and dragged him out the door and towards the drug store.

“Woman, I wasn’t finished with them! Kurama had no right to mark Yukina! He knows the way things are supposed to be done, he didn’t even ask my permission! This just isn’t right! And I bet the bastard is back in bed with her again right this moment!” Hiei was pissed and going to make sure the whole world knew it.

They stopped in front of the only all night drug store. Kagome looked at Hiei with exasperation. “Will you please settle down long enough for us to go in here and find what I’m looking for?” At the fire demon’s sullen nod Kagome led the way down the isles until she found what she was looking for. They passed rows of condoms hanging up on display and Hiei had to stop and take a look at them. “Ribbed condoms? Lubricated condoms? Glow in the dark condoms? Why glow in the dark condoms? Can’t these stupid human males find it with the lights out?” Hiei shook his head in wonder, it was a wonder that these humans managed to reproduce at all.

He wandered farther down the isle and came to the tubes of KY Jelly. His stomach growled, reminding him that he hadn’t had dinner. ‘I guess a jelly sandwich will be fine until we can eat. I’ll just let Kagome know this will be a snack until we can get dinner. Now all I need is a loaf of bread.’

It was at right that moment that Kagome walked up holding a do it yourself pregnancy test. She stopped next to Hiei and started reading the box. “It says this only takes sixty seconds to know for sure. I have to dip the little stick in some pee and that will let me know. It’s supposed to be accurate.”

Hiei was staring at Kagome like she had lost her mind. He decided that maybe a small change of topic was called for so he held up the KY that he had picked up. “Kagome, I figured we needed a snack till we could get dinner. Now all we need is bread.”

Kagome stared at the KY and burst out laughing unable to stop herself. She tried to stifle the giggles when she saw the annoyed look he was giving her. “Um Hiei, I hate to tell you this but…” She bent down and whispered in Hiei’s ear what the KY Jelly was for. Hiei growled, putting the tube back onto the nearest shelf and turned, his face was flushed but whether it was from anger or embarrassment was anyone’s guess. Without saying a word he ran towards the door and went outside, traveling so fast that no one saw him go by. The closing door was the only sign of his passing.
