Chapter Five- Kidnapped!
"Hiei! There you are!"
Hiei looked down from his perch in a tree. He had been daydreaming about his meeting with Kurama that night when Yusuke's voice interrupted him.
"What do you want, Detective?"
"I've got some bad news."
"If Kuwabara's dead, I won't be mourning."
"It's not about Kuwabara. It's about Kurama."
"I already know. He's a demon vampire."
Yusuke blinked. "How did you find out? Kuwabara and I just found out last night."
"He attacked me last night."
"What!?"
"He wasn't in control of his actions, a flaw of demon vampires. He regained control when I cried his name, however."
Yusuke then noticed the bite mark on Hiei's neck and flinched at the thought of being attacked like that.
Hiei lightly touched the mark. "It does sting a bit, but I'm fine."
"If it stings, then go get it treated before it scars."
"I want it scarred. It's a special mark."
"How's that?"
"If a demon vampire doesn't kill his/her victim, that means they're mates."
"You're mates!?"
"Yes and I'm rather pleased. I loved Kurama before he was turned."
Yusuke scratched his cheek, embarrassed. 'Heh, heh. Okay, Hiei's officially weirding me out. I can't believe he's gay.'
"Well," the detective said. "that's all I came to say, so I guess I'll be on my way."
"Detective."
"Yeah?"
"If you know where Kurama lives, tell him I'll be waiting for him here at eight tonight."
"Right. Eight o'clock. All right. I'll tell him."
Hiei nodded before speeding off to who-knows-where. Yusuke left too, plannign to leave Kurama a note. Both were unaware that someone had been watching and heard everything they said.

"Is he awake, yet?"
"Yes, human. He just woke up. You can see him now."
The human, Jake, meekly enter the room, head down in respect. He kept his eyes down as he stopped foot from the regal throne before. He bowed to the vampire sitting on the throne. "Master Damien."
"You have news on our latest member?"
"Yes, Master. Kurama plans to meet his mate in the park at eight."
"And who is this mate?"
"A demon called Hiei."
"A demon! He dares take a demon as a mate! Demons are our blood meals, not mates. It's been that way for centuries."
"But, Master, others have taken demons as mates before."
Damien leaped forward and struck Jake, sending him flying across the room. "Underling! Never argue with me! I know others took demons as mates and they died for their love."
"Yes, Master."
"Leave and tell Eril to round up the warriors. We will kidnap this Hiei and use him to lure Kurama to us."

Kurama yawned as he sat up in bed. He had slept very peacefully and even dreamed about Hiei and him having sex as only vampires can, despite Hiei being a demon. He blushed happily at his recollection until a piece of paper caught his eye and he picked it up to read it better.
Kurama,
Hiei said to meet him in the park at eight.
Yusuke
'Hmm. Eigh, huh? Hiei's taking into consideration the fact that I might be hungry when I woke up. And he was correct.' Without another thought, Kurama left his house in search of prey.
&&&&
Hiei leaned against a tree trunck, patiently waiting. He had a reason for wanting the meeting at eight. It gave his mate at least an hour to kill a human and get to the park. Of course, knowing Kurama, he'll choose a criminal as his victim. To Hiei, any human was considered prey, though he might unconsciously avoid killing his 'friends'.
Dark shadows caught the fire demon's attention. Jumping onto the ground, he immediately withdrew his katana. The shadows didn't back down, so Hiei decided to tap his speed ability in order to swiftly kill his adversaries.
But, before he could take one step, the shadows stopped and a figure emerged from one of the shadows. A strong, black-haired man stood before him, flashing a malicious fanged grin. He was a vampire!
"I know of your swift speed, Hiei. But, I suggest you not pull it unless you want us to kill Kurama."
Hiei was startled that he knew his and Kurama's names. Apparently, this was a demon vampire. When a victim is turned, the local circle somehow finds out and that included when he/she takes a mate.
Sheathing his sword, Hiei said, " Who are you and what's your point?"
"I am Eriol. And you will come with us or Kurama will truly be dead."
"Given a choice. I'll take the former."
"Very wise. Come." Eriol led the demon towards the circle's underground lair, but not before planting a note where Kurama would find it.
&&&&
"Hiei?" Kurama glanced around. He smelled Hiei's scent all over this area of the park, yet there was no sign of him. As he passed the bench, he caught sight of Eriol's note.
If you don't show in our underground lair by midnight, then your mate will die.
Damien, King of Demon Vampires
Anger clouded Kurama's eyes. Hiei had been kidnapped! And by his own vampire kind, too! Holding the note under his nose, he took in the scent of the vampire who wrote it. Kurama felt lucky his fox demon half had a sensitive nose. Once he took a good sniff, he headed for the sewers to find and rescue his beloved.
'I'm coming, Hiei. I will not let them hurt you.'
