Come Together

Yuusuke cracked his knuckles absently. The past week had been peaceful giving Yuusuke time to relax. The product of this peace was a mild feeling of something. How do I get rid of this feeling? For no reason whatsoever, an image of Yomi popped out in front of him and winked. (This being no mean feat considering it was Yomi who was doing it.)

'PUNT!' The image of Yomi was given a birds view of Yuusuke's portion of the Makai and then some. Unfortunately for Yuusuke now the image of Yomi in his head wouldn't go away. What the hell, I need a good fight anyway. Yuusuke left and ran for the border to Yomi's territory.

Yomi frowned; Kurama slowly edged away from him. Yomi frowned again; Kurama began to wonder if a bolt for the door would be successful. Yomi began to drum his fingers; Kurama prepared to make a run for it anyway. He didn't notice Yomi coming up behind him. 'Siiiggghhhh...' With a startled shriek, Kurama leaped five feet straight up. When he came down he glared at Yomi and quickly left the room. His sensitive fox ears twitching as he muttered about sneaking up on people and breathing in their ear. Yomi had been feeling odd lately; I wonder what I can do to alleviate this feeling, he thought to himself. Yuusuke's image pops up in front of him and starts making faces at him. 'Aaaaghhh!' The image went flying out the window to disappear over the horizon. Yomi huffed and then realized that a fight might just be what he needed. Sensing Yuusuke's presence at the border he left.

By unspoken consensus, the fight was to take place in Mukuro's territory. This was because the loser usually had to pay for the damages done in the fight, but they reasoned that since Mukuro had probably stolen enough from them they had already paid for damages beforehand. Besides neither one of them really cared. The Image crawled out of the bushes and muttered as it faded away, 'No more matchmaking...'

'CRACK!' Yuusuke jumped out of the way just in time. He didn't really feel like fighting like this. Maybe I'm missing some old-fashioned knock out, he thought. Suddenly he launched a right hook at a surprised Yomi. Yomi tripped backwards and flailed his arms; Yuusuke not expecting to miss lost his balance and fell forward against Yomi sending them both tumbling to the ground. Yuusuke's lips brushed lightly against Yomi's sending a tingle of pleasure through both of them. They started and froze for a moment. Then, Yomi's arms slowly wound round Yuusuke in a tight embrace. Yuusuke understood the invitation and lowered his lips to Yomi's. The strange sensations that had been plaguing them bloomed to life and melded with each other. Soon a heavy rain began to fall providing them with the privacy they needed in the sheltered clearing they were in.

Elsewhere, signs of their union were showing. Kurama changed into his kitsune form and began to play with his tail. He looked around and the lowered his ears flat against his head and thought, 'I DON'T want to know.' Hiei who hated water suddenly jumped into a lake and began to play in it. Mukuro was singing 'Auld Lang Syne' to her servant's misery and Raizen had begun to play with cute little dollies. Yup, Yuusuke and Yomi sure were making a big impact.

Yomi reached out drowsily and pulled Yuusuke towards him. Murmuring in his sleep Yuusuke cuddled up to Yomi igniting his desire again. Nibbling on his ear, Yomi began to caress Yuusuke who woke up and gave him a long sweet kiss. 'Ready so soon koibito, hmm?' asked Yuusuke who was tracing Yomi's jaw with his tongue. Yomi's answer was to cup Yuusuke's firm buttocks and pulled him closer eliciting a moan from Yuusuke. 'Who would have thought it would be us of all people, ne?' gasped Yomi as Yuusuke began to rub himself against him. 'Come on, I hear a river nearby. There are some things that I would like to try,' whispered Yuusuke.

Four days later, Yomi walked into his castle. 'Good morning Kurama,' he virtually sang. Kurama who had been preening a rosebush gaped at Yomi and absently snipped off two roses. 'Why thank you Kurama. My koibito should enjoy this.' Yomi picked up the two roses and pinned one to his shirt. He wasn't wearing his regular clothes. Instead he was wearing old Chinese styled clothing that Kurama had been fond of. It was completely in black with a flower pattern done in silver thread on the front. 'What's the occasion?' Kurama croaked out while thinking, I am now a solid believer in alien abduction. Maybe I should contact the X-files? 'Oh it's nothing, I'm just going out that's all.' Yomi smiled sappily and when to stare out the window. Kurama's mind was having difficulty functioning so it keyed in on one word. 'Yomi, who's this koibito of yours anyway?' Yomi just smiled at him and shook his head. Wait and see was all his expression said.

BANG! BANG! Kurama ran to get the door knowing only one person dared to that here. Kurama flung open the door and began to babble about Yomi's strange behavior not noticing that Yuusuke was also dressed up. 'Koibito!' Yomi engulfed Yuusuke in a hug and kissed him on the cheek. Kurama gaped as he finally registered what was going on. 'YUUSUKE?!' Yuusuke and Yomi grinned, 'Surprise. If you think this is bad wait till Mukuro finds out.' Laughing they left for their date while Kurama tried to choose between hysteria and shock. The Makai was never going to be the same.
