This fanfic contains YAOI content! (lemon in later chapters) It also alludes to rape, brief mention of drug use, a little bit of naughty language, and some self-violence. You can't say I didn't warn you!

Yey! 6 reviews with fanfiction.net! * loves on them * and ONE review with adultfan.nexcess.net. * loves on her ONE fan * * sniffles * alas and oh well. At least some people lurve me! I've had to put a lot of thought into this particular chapter, because the way I wrote it. just doesn't fit. So here goes nothing! Remember, y'all, chapter 10, the chapter after this one, the FINAL CHAPTER, will only be posted on adultfanfiction.net because of LEMON content.

Heh.. heh.. heh.. * cracks knuckles* Sorry it took so long for this guys, but I got kidnapped and taken for a weekend of PRIMITIVE camping in the woods. (That was a first time for me, and if you've ever been I'm sure you can figure out the part that got to me.) I was a Girl Scout! Girl Scouts had -extensive- restrooms, lemme tell ya! But anyways, thank you for being patient. (Even if you weren't, I'll pretend like you were.)

----------------------

It really was a nice day out.

While still slightly cloudy, the sun had an intense glow, causing the city to be brightly lit with the first cheery rays of spring. Winter's cold grip was fading into memory as plants and trees budded, flowers littering the grass in little rainbows. There was an apartment complex that was completely swamped in every manner of beautiful greenery, the flora thriving as if striving to welcome their creator home at last.

A small silver car raced around the corner and into the parking lot of the complex, screeching to a halt in front of the stairs to said creator's apartment. A small dark haired demon jumped out of the driver's seat and was at the passenger side in an instant, holding the door open for the tall willowy redhead that slowly pushed himself out of the car, looking a tad nauseous.

"Hiei.. you're never driving again," the redhead said faintly, leaning against the car.

"Hn. Get better and you can drive yourself, fox. No keys until you have color in your cheeks again!" the smaller stated firmly, pocketing said keys. He was dressed in an unusual manner today. The spiky-headed demon was not wearing his cloak. His arms were bare and bandaged; plainly visible as all the demon wore above the waist was a tight muscle shirt.

The two had arrived at an agreement. In exchange for Hiei keeping his arms visible so that Kurama would know what was going on, Kurama had to submit to all kinds of crazy rules during his recuperation. Oh, the fox had believed he had the upper hand, the small demon baring part of himself to the world being an unquestionably amazing feat, but he had not counted on the first rule. Hiei was going to be the one driving until he was in full health and wasn't at risk of falling asleep at the wheel. Hiei had no idea how to drive until he got into the car to take Kurama home from the hospital, had no license, and Kurama was pretty sure he'd rarely paid attention to what Kurama was doing all the times he'd given him rides around town.

They started to make their way up the stairs to the apartment, but Kurama soon had to stop for fear of losing his footing. A certain little demon kept coming very close to tripping him, dancing about him anxiously. "Hiei, if you do not get out from under my feet and quit crowding me, I WILL trip and break my neck and it will be your fault. I am not made of glass, damnit!" he finally snapped when he could take it no longer. Yes, Hiei's intentions were good, but being treated as though he was that fragile was most definitely annoying.

The fire demon quickly backed away, arms crossed, looking for all the world as if he would be caught doing no such thing. "Hn," he said, looking away. Kurama couldn't help but smile at the display.

They finally reached the door, Hiei inconspicuously following behind in case the fox suddenly fainted and fell. Kurama of course noticed, snorting mentally at the very idea of Youko Kurama just magically having a fainting spell just because he was malnourished! He was far too powerful to be so weak! He shouldered the door open and passed inside, making a beeline for the couch, kicking his shoes off simply. Hiei's eyes narrowed as the taller collapsed onto the couch, his strength giving out. Kurama's eyes slid shut and he sighed comfortably.

"It is so good to be home!" he exclaimed, wriggling into the couch's embrace. He grunted at a sudden weight on his hips and allowed on eye to slide open and eye the fire demon whose ruby red eyes were level with his own green. "Yes, koibito?"

"I have new rules," he stated, eying the fox as if he'd try to escape. When his only response was a raised eyebrow, he continued.

"First off, you will not be working, not even cooking or cleaning here, until you have fully recovered."

Kurama could appreciate this rule. Of course, if he wasn't cleaning or cooking then who would be..? His eyes widened. Oh no, not Hiei.. Panic rose into his brain at the idea of Hiei keeping the house clean. No such thing was near possible! He'd be living in a mess!

"Secondly, you will only be working one job in accompaniment to attending school. You are quitting the produce outlet, obviously, and the dishwashing job. You like the nursery work, so you keep it," he continued. Kurama's mouth flew open in protest. "and you will not be arguing it." Hiei finished dangerously, placing a finger on the fox's lips to silence him.

"I myself will be taking on one more full time job to accompany my bartending. We will have enough money that way. No sushi and beer parties, but we can live without better than we did with."

Kurama's eyes widened innocently as he pulled Hiei's silencing fingers into his mouth and began to softly run his tongue along them. Hiei wriggled a bit, losing his concentration.

"Thirdly.. mmm.. ah, there was a third.. you will.. tell me when something's wrong. And you will.. oh.. stop that!.. you will tell me.. when you need money.. and ahhh.. Naughty fox!.." he drifted off as Kurama's hips started to push up against his own, rocking slowly. Kurama grinned evilly, continuing to suckle suggestively on the serious demon's fingers. He slowly let them slip from his mouth, admiring the look on Hiei's face. The smaller demon's eye were half-lidded, his lips parted slightly, lost to the foreign feelings of pleasure the fox was eliciting.

"What were you saying, Hiei? No, don't bother; I think I gathered your point, really. And I believe these are terms I can live with.. if.." he paused dramatically, watching for the reaction as his hips stopped their suggestive dance.

Hiei took a soft, gasping breath for air as his vision cleared slightly of the lustful haze beginning to cloud it. His eyes widened as he looked at the fox, who was threatening to cease his attentions. "If what?" he asked warily.

"If.. you agree to one thing. We sleep in my bed." He finished, eyes glinting mischievously as he envisioned all of the fun he would soon have teaching his virginal friend the wonders of his bed.

"Why your bed?" Hiei frowned slightly, knowing there was a catch in there somewhere, some reason Kurama wanted him in the bed that would make his fox grin in a manner he found highly suspect, but he shrugged it off, desperate to get the fox to wherever he needed to be to continue this introduction to pleasure, and he nodded in agreement without an answer.

"Because," Kurama said, pushing himself up and pulling Hiei to his feet. He pulled the fire demon close to him in a sudden embrace; reveling in the heat his lover gave him. Yes he would be teaching this demon a thing or two. But he suddenly realized that this time. there would be so much more to the act. He himself was about to get a lesson in love, and he was going to enjoy every minute of it.

"My bed's bigger," he finished, pulling the impatient fire demon into their room. Everything would be alright. Now there was finally time to relax and enjoy life.

-Yes, that is technically the last chapter y'all. The fun chapter is next, but check it out at adultfan.nexcess.net . I should have it up in a day (or two.) ^_^ Thanks for all the reviews, fanfiction.net. Let me know what you thought of the ending. Adultfanfiction: I hope you guys review me more!

I am already at work on my next story. Gonna write it out first so it'll be about a week before I start posting that. The title will be Frozen Memories. It'll be another Hiei/Kurama fic, but definitely aiming towards a sadder ending. Keep an eye out!
