Cruel Intentions

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurama and Hiei were walking on the dark streets of the ningenkai.  The dark fire youkai was giving the kitsune `the look.'  The redhead turned to the fire youkai and sighed playfully.

"Don't worry, Hiei.  We're almost home."

"Hn." Hiei grunted, but his right hand sneaked out of his cloak and tugged at the redhead's elegant one.

"I want ice cream!"  The fire youkai said so suddenly.  Kurama stopped walking and blinked at the half koorime.  Hiei was in one of his mood shifts.

"Now Kurama!"  Hiei pouted. (pouted!)

"Fine, itooshi."

The redhead bought his dearest koorime a huge scooping of ice cream.  The fire demon enthusiastically helped himself with it while an amused youko looked on.

"Hiei, you're really sweet."  Kurama chuckled.

In less than 10 seconds (Hiei moves really fast!) the ice cream was gone.  Kurama blinked at Hiei's very wide smile.

"Ready to go home now?"  The redhead smiled sweetly.

"Let's go to the park."  Hiei suggested.  Kurama gaped at the fire youkai.

"Y-you're sure?"  Kurama asked uncertainly.  Why would Hiei want to go to the park?

"Hn."  Hiei snorted impatiently and started to drag the redhead across the street.

"Wait, Hiei!" Kurama protested.

Unknown to both youkais, a vigorous police officer had been observing them, or rather he had been observing the redhead from a distance.  The redhead's graceful and delicate beauty had ensnared the law enforcer.  He had sighed.  That redhead was having a date with a short, grumpy boy friend.  What a waste!  Now if only the redhead was available.  Just then, the police officer grew alarmed when he saw the short, grumpy, and dangerous looking guy drag the redhead across the street and head toward the dark park.  The redhead was trying to get away from him!  The law enforcer followed the two seemingly quarreling lovers.  He had a gut feeling that something ugly was about to happen.  He would follow them in case the redhead  was really in danger.  He watched stealthily as the short guy pressed the redhead against the tree and started unbuttoning  the Chinese outfit.

"No, Hiei please."  The soft alto implored huskily.

"Hn.  You'll shut up if you know what's good for you."  Hiei threatened mockingly.  Without warning the youkai pushed the stunned youko on the grassy ground.  Kurama yelped in surprise.

"HIEI!"  Kurama glared at the youkai.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"  A very flushed, very angry police officer came out of his hiding, pointing a gun on Hiei's head.

Kurama got up swiftly, embarrassed at being caught groping in the dark in a public place.  The police officer thought that's Kurama's sudden jerky movements were caused by fear and turned to him.

"It's all right, Miss.  Everything's under control."  He smiled reassuringly.  Kurama became a dark shade of red and a pale shade of white alternately.  The slight frame shuddered with revulsion at being mistaken for a female.  The bishounen police officer turned concerned grey eyes on the shaking `damsel in distress' and caught hold of the soft, elegant hands.

"It's all right.  I'm here."

Hiei had gaped at the ningen wearing a strange and funny outfit.  He was pointing a firearm too.  Hiei came to know about it from Kurama's television set.  The fire youkai growled menacingly when he sensed that stupid ningen's attentive concern for his fox.  Who the hell did he think he was barging in on them in one of their private moments?  Kurama, seeing the dangerous glints of Hiei's ruby eyes cleared his throat and spoke.

"O-officer, this guy here is my friend and I'm actually...."

"No, no.  It's okay.  There's no need to talk right now.  You're still in shock."  He patted Kurama's hands softly.

"Kisama!"  Hiei spat angrily.  He will not tolerate anyone else beside himself petting his fox.  The fire demon grabbed the gun from the police officer as Kurama shouted in alarm.

"Hiei don't!"  Kurama held his breath, fear clutched at his throat as the police officer rendered the fire youkai unconscious.

"H-Hiei...."  Kurama started to kneel in front on the fire youkai's fallen body, but the enforcer held him fast.

"Let go of me!"  Kurama said angrily and struggled, restraining himself from beating the police officer into a pulp.  As much as possible he didn't want to cause any more public disturbance.  The officer, thinking that Kurama was becoming hysterical, was forced to make the redhead unconscious too. 

***************

 "Ouch!'  Kurama sat up slowly, feeling his aching neck and realized he was in a hospital.  The kitsune frowned.  Where was Hiei and why was he here?  He groaned.  If this was a bad dream, he wished someone would come and wake him up fast!  He jumped down the bed when a nurse came in and pushed him back on the bed.

"You stay right there, young lady.  We haven't examined you yet and they say we have to make a thorough report to the police."  She said in a no-nonsense manner.  Kurama paled and then frowned. 

"A report to the police, but why?"  The puzzled redhead asked.  They were just caught about to be doing something forbidden in a public place so why need a medical examination and a police report?

"Oh, boy must be the defense mechanism kicking in." She tsk tsk softly."

"NANI?"  Kurama was beginning to feel exasperated.

"Never mind, dear.  It's a psychology thingy.  Wow!  You're awfully pretty.  Thank goodness the officer found you before the bad deed could be done!'  She peered at the redhead's flush face.

"What are you talking about?"

"Why have you forgotten?  My poor innocent child, you were almost raped!"

"NANI?"  Kurama fainted.

 ***************

 When Kurama woke up, he found Yusuke, Koenma and Kuwabara grinning down at him.  The redhead bolted upright.

"Help!  Hiei needs help!"

"HA, HA, HAK, HAK!" The three shook with laughter.  Kurama crossed his arms haughtily.  If they thought that was funny.  The kitsune silently searched his mind for a vicious makai demon flower to torment the laughing idiots with.

Koenma wiped the tears from his eyes.

"I must Kurama, you and Hiei both go way far from my expectations."

"Ha, ha, very funny Koenma."  Kurama gritted his teeth.  Then the redhead used his puppy eyes to the max.

"Please, please get Hiei out of jail and out of trouble."

"Honestly, Kurama, what were you both thinking?  Why didn't you just clarify everything?" Yusuke laughed.  Kurama flushed hotly.

"I thought at first we were just being reprimanded for being in a public place."

Yusuke's eyes bulged.

"So you two were really gonna do it?"

"Gods, I hate this!'  Kurama muttered frustratingly and watched miserably as the three idiots started another laughing spree.

 ***************

 "What is in your name?"

"Hn."

Well?  Speak up ningen!"

" I am not a ningen! #$@$!"

"Yeah, yeah and I'm really a fairy godmother."  The police officer glared at the fire demon.

"Age?"

"Hn. Six hundred years..."

"Are you being smart?"  The police and Hiei both stood up on their seats and glared at each other.

"You...."  The police officer sputtered.

"Baka ningen!' #%#! %#^$!

The other police officers sighed in misery and covered their ears, praying that someone, anyone would bail that gloomy, bad-tempered, vile-mouthed short guy out of their jail very soon.
