Yay, I've finally gotten around to typing up a Yu Yu Hakusho fic. (smirks) It took me a while, but I've finally come up with a story. While surfing around fanfiction, I've noticed that there aren't a lot of Kuronue and Youko fics. The same goes for pairings with Yomi, but hey, nobody cares about him anyway. (evil grin)

So, hoping you guys enjoy, here's the first chapter of SHADOWED AMBER EYES! WHOO!

Disclaimer: Bah, I don't own it, so leave me alone.

Chapter One: Waiting in the Shadows

By: Asura Mori

He watched the fox demon from the shadows, wanting nothing more than to just go down and take him there and now. But he restrained himself, knowing that he would probably just end up getting killed, either by the fox himself or his followers. But he couldn't deny the longing inside of him as the kitsune's silver hair glinted in the moonlight and the way his graceful body moved under the starry sky. Everything the demon did made him want to just ravage him, but again, he really didn't want to die.

He sat back with a sigh, content for now to just watch the kitsune as he rushed past. He rose with a growl a few seconds later when another demon ran up to his kitsune and touched him on the shoulder, whispering a few words to the silver-haired god. How he wanted to whisper sweet nothings into that ear and bite along its shell, all the while listening to the sweet whimpers of that golden-eyed deity. So, when he saw another demon like the one who was now really close to his fox, it really pissed him off.

It didn't help that his fox was smiling as he talked to the other demon. He surveyed this demon, trying to see what made the kitsune so attracted to him. Long black hair and obsidian eyes, two horns sticking out of his head… nah, he wasn't much. What did that demon have that he, Kuronue, didn't?

The fox's attention.

The thought frustrated him and demanded that he do something about it, but what could he do to catch the King of Thieves' attention? He sat back against the tree with another sigh, his eyes lingering on the smiling kitsune. A thought popped into his head and a grin flitted across his face as he watched the conversation turn into a conflict and his beloved kitsune's smile be replaced with a frown. This was going to be interesting.

"Please, just let me take a few of our men and check out the castle." The other demon demanded, his eyes hard as he stared at the kitsune he loved so much. But he also knew that his silver-haired god would never return his feelings. He had tried once before to get the fox to acknowledge him as a lover, but the thief had only grinned and walked away. He had never brought the issue up again, although he had more than once imagined the other demon beneath him, moaning with suppressed pleasure.

"And why would I do that, Yomi?" the kitsune asked, his eyes cold and uncompromising, "After what happened last time, you expect me to entrust my men's lives to your reckless cause? I think not." He walked away, evidently done with the conversation, but Yomi decided to test his luck as the fox's right hand man. "Youko!" the golden-eyed fox turned to look at him, but didn't answer the call.

He knew that he was pushing it, that Youko would probably hurt him later for this, but he didn't care. He really wanted to go to this castle, with its famed treasures of great wealth. "I'm going and you're not gonna stop me."

"Then do so alone."

He flinched at the words, hearing the anger in the kitsune's voice. He had crossed the line with his words, and he knew it. Youko would punish him for that later.

Kuronue laughed at the terrified expression on Yomi's face, loving the fact that the other demon had fallen into Youko's disfavor. To him, that meant he could now make a move. And as soon as Yomi went on his daredevil mission, he would do just that.

To be continued…

A.M.- Yeah, I know it was short, but I wanted to make it so that the next chapter would have Yomi leaving for his mission. (evil grin) And Kuroune is going to get what he wishes for…? I don't think he actually understands what he's getting into when it comes to Youko… Oh well, it's his death, not mine, although I think my favorite kitsune would kill me if he ever read this… (although he never will, seeing as he's an anime character.)

But yeah, I apologize again for the shortness. I'm having a hard time coming up with stuff these days, due to some issues at home, but I'm not gonna let that stop me. So, look forward to future, longer chapters, because I usually write a lot more than this.
