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*."
