The Hybrid’s Guide to Miko Hunting
The Cat’s Out of the Bag

.

Seeing his mate in so much pain was nearly enough to kill the mighty hybrid, if the vice grip on his fingers didn’t. Hiei couldn’t have guessed there was so much strength in her little hand, but he supposed he shouldn’t be surprised considering the circumstances.

As Kagome was seized with another contraction, she let out a strangled cry that drowned out the quiet urgings of “Push, Kagome-chan, push,” from the green-haired ice maiden beside her. In the haze of pain fogging her mind, she scarcely heard anything around her. She took a deep, shuddering breath and bared down as hard as she could, pushing back into the supporting cradle of her mate’s lap.

A wail pierced the air as the baby was finally released from its mother’s body, and the young miko collapsed back into the hybrid’s arms with relief. With her death grip gone from his hand, Hiei swept the soaked bangs from her forehead and placed a kiss there. Coherent thought began to return to Kagome and she smiled softly up at him, tears falling down her cheeks when she saw the admiration shining in his crimson eyes.

Amidst the strong cries coming from the baby as Genkai attended to it, Yukina congratulated the young miko and the father. Even if she didn’t know what it meant to him, Hiei was glad that his sister was there for the moment he became a father.

“It’s a girl,” the old psychic rasped, handing the little bundled infant up to Yukina.

Kagome smiled joyfully as she repeated in awe, “A girl!”

Hiei, however, was focused on the rare frown that crinkled his unwitting sister’s brow as she proffered the little writhing creature to him. Her red eyes, a mirror image of his own, reflected the gears he could practically see turning in her head as he took his and his mate’s first daughter and cradled her to his chest to allow Kagome to look up at her from her twisted position in his lap.

Hiei wondered why the ice maiden was looking at him like that.

The hybrid lifted the corner of the little blanket that covered the baby’s face. Brilliant blue eyes, just like her mothers, blinked up at him innocently. A little smile curved lips he recognized easily as his own. But what really caught his attention were the little silken strands of aqua-colored hair that peaked out from the blanket around her face.

Oh, that was why.
