News, Decisions, And Confessions
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The demons slowly made their way to the nearest portal. Which was the battlefield the fox had died on. They stopped when they wanted, just enjoying being together in the Makai wilds. It had been so long since they had been there without being on a mission for Reikai. It was actually calming to their souls to finally and truly be home where they belong though they were about to leave that world. They weren’t worried about their boys. They knew the kits had a lot of people watching over them.
The demons were finally nearing the clearing where the portal was and luckily they hadn’t ran into any trouble in the four day journey they had made to get there. Just when everything was looking up, a group of armed demons jumped out from behind trees and bushes, surrounding the fox and his mate. Hiei instantly recognized some of the attackers from Mukuro’s army. Kurama and he got back to back, ready to battle their way out when all the demons dropped down to one knee before them, actually bowing.
“Lord Hiei.” One of the males announced.
“What?!” Hiei was wide eyed as was his fox.
“Aren’t you Hiei, Mukuro’s heir?” The same demon spoke again, head bowed out of respect.
“I’m Hiei, but I’m not Mukuro’s heir.” Hiei spoke quite harshly. “Who are you?”
“I’m Junaco, captain of the outer forces of your army.”
“I don’t have an army.” Hiei was becoming increasingly annoyed and the mood swing he was having wasn’t helping any.
“Begging your pardon, my lord, you do have an army. You’re Mukuro’s heir, heir to a third of the Makai and lordship over that land.”
“You must be mistaken.” Hiei growled lightly, clenching his fists. “I gave up being Mukuro’s heir over eight years ago.”
“It’s no mistake, it’s all in her papers. You are her heir.” Junaco tried again.
“I don’t want the trouble.” Hiei snarled angrily. He didn’t know how to make it any clearer.
“Are you refusing the lordship then? If you are, then we need to find the one that killed Mukuro. That demon has to be strong and able to handle the lordship. It would only be right for this demon to take the throne since you’re not. Would you know who it was that killed Mukuro?” Junaco finally looked up to the fire demon.
“The demon that killed Mukuro is….” Hiei started quickly.
“Hiei, wait!” Kurama interrupted. “Can I speak to you a moment over there.” He pointed off to the side.
“Hn.” Hiei grunted, following his mate to where he had indicated. The group of demons stood up and quietly waited. The fire demon turned to his lover when he was sure they were out of ear shot. “What is it you want?”
“Koi, you can’t tell them Kaihei and Toushi killed Mukuro. The boys may be strong enough, but they’re not ready to be lords.”
“What do we do then?”
“We give them what they want….Lord Hiei does have a nice ring to it.”
“But I don’t want that trouble.”
“What trouble? You won’t have to answer to anyone and you will be able to rule like you have always wanted.”
“What about you? Are you going to leave Ningenkai and your mother behind?” Hiei asked quickly. “I’ll only take the lordship if you are with me and help me rule.”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way. I belong to and with you, Koi. Our sons and I will follow you even if it means leaving my mother behind. Yet it won’t be for good, I’ll always be able to visit her. Besides, I have to be around to help out with my new baby.” Kurama answered sounding sad, but with a approving smile on his lips.
Hiei nodded curtly and then went back over to the group of demons, his mate following close behind. “I’ll take the lordship. A third of the Makai is now mine.”
“My lord, shall we lead you back to your fortress?” Junaco asked, bowing once more.
“No, I’ll show up there in three weeks.” Hiei answered. “I do have some orders for you though.”
“Yes?” Junaco asked.
“I want the biggest bed chamber completely cleaned out and then redone in black and red items. I also want a new bed, not one some other demon has slept on and I want it ready for our arrival in three weeks. Understand?”
“Our arrival?” Junaco asked, looking confused.
“Do not question me!” Hiei growled. “If you must know I was talking about my arrival with my mate Kurama.” He gestured towards the fox beside him.
“K….K….Kurama? As in Youko Kurama?” Junaco was stunned, staring wide-eyed at the pair.
Kurama chuckled. “I’m Youko Kurama and Lord Hiei’s mate.”
A demon off to the side snorted. “Why should we believe that? He’s dead and probably wouldn‘t mate with a crossbreed.” The demon wasn’t watching his tongue “Whatever……..What do we have to call you?” The demon was dead before he knew what had happened, a rose whip took off half his head.
“Hn.” Hiei smirked wickedly. He loved it when his mate got angry. It showed they were actually a lot more alike then most beings believed. The fox didn’t like disrespect anymore then he did. “He will be known as Lord Kurama and you will take orders from him as if they were from me.”
“Yes, my lord……My Lords.” Junaco did another sweeping bow, glancing to the now dead demon that had spoken. He would have to be very careful around the new lords, they all would.
“We will require another large bed chamber near ours, preferably next door or across the hall.” Kurama spoke softly, betraying just how cruelly he had just killed. “Clean it out like ours, but I want it done in greens and blues and like ours I only want one bed in it.”
“Yes, lord Kurama, that order will be followed as well.” Junaco answered quickly. “Is there anything else you need of us?”
“No, you all are dismissed and remember you have three weeks before our arrival to get this done.” Kurama responded with a nonchalant wave of his hand.
“Everything will be ready.” Junaco assured his lords.
“It better be, I won’t hear any excuses if it’s not.” Hiei growled a warning. Junaco only bowed one last time. He turned and led the group of demons towards the fire demon’s new lands.
“Now let’s go see our boys.” Kurama smiled, pulling out a communicator. He quickly called Koenma and a portal was opened. The demons jumped into it and were standing in front of Capsule Corp. home in no time. The front door was thrown open, revealing two excited kits that took off running toward their parents.
“Papa! Daddy!” Toushi and Kaihei cried, running along side each other. When they were near enough, they leaped towards their fathers, hoping that they would be caught. The demons didn’t fail their sons. Kurama caught Toushi and Hiei caught Kaihei, but they all ended up on the ground, laughing.
“I told you they missed us, Koi.” Kurama smiled over the kit’s brown head.
“So you did.” Hiei couldn’t stop the big smile that found it’s way to his face.
“I’m glad you’re okay, papa and daddy.” Kaihei looked up to his parents.
“Me too!” Toushi nodded his head vigorously. “We missed you so much!”
“We missed you boys too.” Kurama replied softly. “Didn’t we, Koi?”
“Hn, of course we did.” Hiei answered quickly. The kits just grinned up at their fathers. By now, the Saiyans had gathered around them and was smiling at the happy scene, except Vegeta. He was smirking as usual.
“I’m so glad that you two are okay.” Bulma stepped forward.
“We are too.” Kurama smiled, looking up to her.
“Hiei, how are you?” Bulma asked, glancing to the fire demon. “Any problems?”
“No, I’m fine and everything is proceeding normally. And yes, Kurama does know.”
“You do?” Pan asked.
“Yes, I do.” Kurama smiled proudly. “Now, how many of you all know?”
“All of us, including your detective team.” Bra was the one to answer.
“Everyone knew before me?” Kurama turned towards his mate.
“Um…….the Saiyans found out that first morning and the team found out because of a slip up.” Hiei answered nervously.
“Well, at least I know now.” Kurama smiled, showing he wasn’t mad that he wasn’t the first to know about the pregnancy.
“This calls for a party.” Bulma announced suddenly. She looked around the group at the rest of the Saiyans. “Everyone into swimsuits.” The large group agreed and then hurried into the house, leaving the demon family by themselves.
“Kaihei, Toushi? We need to speak with you both for a few minutes before we join the party.” Hiei said, knowing the boys were ready to run off. The boys didn’t answer, but they did get up. The small family moved off into some shade far a little talk.
“We’re getting a new member to our family.” Kurama got things started with the direct approach.
“Who?” Toushi asked.
“Well, your father and I don’t know who, but it will be here in about two and a half months.” Kurama answered.
“Is it a boy or girl?” Kaihei asked the question this time.
“We don’t know that yet either and won’t know until it gets here.” Hiei replied quickly.
“Oh……where’s it coming from?” Toushi was showing a great deal of curiosity about this. Which was good, considering what his parents had planned.
“From you father.” Kurama smiled softly. The kits’ eyes widened as they looked to the fire demon.
“Huh?” Kaihei finally managed.
“Remember when we told you boys that your father was very special, that he could have babies?” Kurama asked. When the boys nodded he continued. “Well, papa is pregnant. He’s going to have a baby, you two are going to have a baby brother or sister.” The fox reached over and gently patted his mate’s stomach which had a little swell to it. The fire demon had begun to show on the journey back to the portal.
“We are?” Toushi lit up with a smile.
“Hn, you are.” Hiei smirked.
“Really?” Kaihei grinned.
“Yes, want to feel the baby’s energy?” Kurama asked, smiling brightly. Both kits just nodded enthusiastically. Hiei smirked again as he raised his cloak. The fox took Toushi’s hand and laid it on his father’s stomach. He then got hold of Kaihei’s and guided to lay beside his brother’s. “Now search for a small energy signal.” He instructed, putting his hand over the top of his sons’.
A few moments passed with the kits concentrating hard. “I feel it!” Kaihei suddenly announced.
“I do too.” Toushi was a second behind his brother.
“That’s your brother or sister.” Hiei smiled, looking down to the hands that were still on him.
“It feels like my energy.” Kaihei stated, pulling his hand away.
“It will a little bit, but it will be different.” Kurama explained to his son.
“How did a baby get in father’s stomach?” Toushi asked, removing his hand as well. “Is it because you two kiss so much?”
“Not exactly.” Hiei smirked. “It’s because he put….”
“It’s a talk for another time.” Kurama broke in quickly, sending a disapproving glare at his lover. The kits were far to young to learn about sex and it’s consequences. Hiei’s smirk only got bigger while he dropped his cloak back into place and then blew a kiss towards his mate. The fox just shook his head as he looked back to his sons, his mate was much more playful when pregnant. “Shall we join the party now?”
“Yeah!” Toushi and Kaihei answered at the same time.
“Go on then.” Kurama gestured towards the house.
The kits jumped up and joined hands before running towards the house, not caring if their parents followed or not. Kurama stood up and held a hand out to his mate. Hiei took the offered help and stood up, lacing their fingers together. They walked slowly towards the house. The fire demon came to a stop and turned his lover around to face him.
“I haven’t said it yet and I should.” Hiei spoke softly. “Thank you for saving my life.” He drifted his free hand across his stomach. “Our lives.”
“You really need to think Koenma. I know he had something to do with you two’s survival. In all rights, you and our child should be dead.” Kurama answered, sounding quite sad. “Just promise me one thing, Koi.”
“What’s that?”
“Never try to kill yourself again if something happens to me while our children our so small. They need one of us in their lives.”
“I promise, fox.” Hiei smiled slightly. “I can do this because I know we are going to be together for a long time, a demon’s life time.”
“Well, we’re sure gonna try.” Kurama replied, leaning down and gently kissing his mate. They parted, both smiling at the other. The demons continued on into the house, changed into swimsuits, and then joined the party.
Hiei grudgingly let the Saiyan women touch his stomach, feeling the tiny energy. When Toushi and Kaihei brought up the pack of kids, he put a stop to it. He wasn’t some oddity on display. When one of the women came back for a second feel, Kurama had enough. He told them that ‘No one else was going to touch his mate’s stomach and ultimately his child’. Everyone completely backed off then.
The party continued on for some time and lunch was served. The big group ate and chit chatted about nothing in particular. The party then went back to pool side. The beings were either sunning themselves or swimming.
“Have there been any more pranks pulled?” Kurama asked the Saiyan on the lounger next to theirs. Hiei was spooned up against him and was dozing.
“No, no more pranks.” Trunks answered. “Maybe the prankster got tired.”
“That’s possible.” Kurama agreed.
“I think it’s time for the prankster to come forward.” Pan walked over and sat down between her mate’s legs.
“I agree.” Trunks brought his arms up around her and pulled her closer.
“Alright then, I’ll go first.” Pan smiled slyly. “I did the prank with the cars.”
“You did that!?” Goten gasped, sitting down in another chair with Bra sitting down in his lap.
“My car was a wreck!” Trunks growled lowly, nipping at his wife’s neck. “You’ll have to pay for that.”
“IT will be my pleasure, I’m sure.” Pan replied brazenly. The other Saiyans pulled up chairs when they heard the confession.
“Hm, Pan pulled the car stunt.” Vegeta smirked. “I pulled the pranks of the stink bombs and shaving cream bombs.”
“I can’t believe you did that!” Bulma yelled, remembering the big messes. “But I’m not totally innocent. I pulled the prank of the frisky training bots.”
“I suspected that was you, woman.” Vegeta growled out.
“That was a good one.” Goten praised highly. “I pulled a prank too. I’m the one that sent the emails bouncing around the Capsule Corp. office.”
“I’m so going to get you for that!” Trunks threatened angrily. “The emails are still being passed around work. I can honestly say, I didn’t pull any pranks.”
“Well, I pulled one.” Bra smiled. “I did the fire crackers on the strings that was attached to the bedroom doors.”
“That was a good one, it certainly woke everyone up.” Videl laughed. “I did the original one of tying the rope to the doors so when one is opened another is slammed closed.”
“That one was okay.” Gohan remarked. “But I did one too. My prank was the spray water attachment on the sink.”
“We did some too.” Lacy spoke up from the edge of the pool.
“Which one?” Videl asked quickly.
“Well….” Lacy began with a smug smile on her young face. “We did the paint over the door that got grandpa Vegeta. We also put the stuff in the bottle that changed grandpa Gohan’s hair color to blonde and then set it up so he would fall into the pool.”
“That was you?” Gohan growled deeply. “I had to color my hair back to black!”
“What else did you do?” Pan asked, titling her head to the side.
“We….. um…did the salt and sugar thing.” Hokori smiled, swimming up beside the girl. “We also did the eyes glued on everything.”
“Toushi was in on every one and Kaihei was in on some.” Zenaku climbed up on the side of the pool.
“You two were?” Kurama asked, looking quickly to his sons. Toushi and Kaihei just smiled as they continued to swim around the pool. The fox gently shook his lover. “Koi?”
“Hn?” Hiei grunted, annoyed that he had been woken up.
“Could you get our little surprises since you’re faster?” Kurama asked sweetly. Hiei growled, but he did get up and blur from sight.
“Chi Chi and I even pulled a prank.” Goku spoke up. “Chi Chi put the laxative in the food and I put the icy hot on the toilet seats.”
“That had to have been the worst prank!” Goten snapped. “As I sat down I slipped off the toilet and ended up on the floor.”
“That one was bad.” Trunks agreed. “But the stealing of our favorite items and getting ransom notes for them was the best and most harmless one.”
“Yeah, it was.” Videl laughed.
“So, who did that one?” Bulma asked, looking around the group. Just then, Hiei reappeared, holding a closed box. He sat the box on the ground and sat back down beside his lover.
“What’s that?” Gohan asked, staring at the box.
“Hn, a few surprises.” Hiei smirked, opening the box.
“We got this made?” Kurama smiled, pulling an album from the box and opening it. Inside were pictures of all the different pranks and at different angels.
“Kaihei and I took most of the pictures.” Hiei announced.
“I took a few as well.” Kurama added. “It was an opportunity that we couldn’t pass up.”
“I like the album.” Pan smiled. “It will remind us of your family’s time here.”
“That it will.” Bulma smiled, taking the book the fox was handing her.
“What else is in the box?” Chi Chi asked, leaning over some to look in it.
“Your ransomed items…..Kurama and I pulled that prank.” Hiei smirked, looking quite smug, very pleased with himself. Kurama was smiling, very pleased with himself too.

“I agree.” Trunks brought his arms up around her and pulled her closer.
“Alright then, I’ll go first.” Pan smiled slyly. “I did the prank with the cars.”
“You did that!?” Goten gasped, sitting down in another chair with Bra sitting down in his lap.
“My car was a wreck!” Trunks growled lowly, nipping at his wife’s neck. “You’ll have to pay for that.”
“IT will be my pleasure, I’m sure.” Pan replied brazenly. The other Saiyans pulled up chairs when they heard the confession.
“Hm, Pan pulled the car stunt.” Vegeta smirked. “I pulled the pranks of the stink bombs and shaving cream bombs.”
“I can’t believe you did that!” Bulma yelled, remembering the big messes. “But I’m not totally innocent. I pulled the prank of the frisky training bots.”
“I suspected that was you, woman.” Vegeta growled out.
“That was a good one.” Goten praised highly. “I pulled a prank too. I’m the one that sent the emails bouncing around the Capsule Corp. office.”
“I’m so going to get you for that!” Trunks threatened angrily. “The emails are still being passed around work. I can honestly say, I didn’t pull any pranks.”
“Well, I pulled one.” Bra smiled. “I did the fire crackers on the strings that was attached to the bedroom doors.”
“That was a good one, it certainly woke everyone up.” Videl laughed. “I did the original one of tying the rope to the doors so when one is opened another is slammed closed.”
“That one was okay.” Gohan remarked. “But I did one too. My prank was the spray water attachment on the sink.”
“We did some too.” Lacy spoke up from the edge of the pool.
“Which one?” Videl asked quickly.
“Well….” Lacy began with a smug smile on her young face. “We did the paint over the door that got grandpa Vegeta. We also put the stuff in the bottle that changed grandpa Gohan’s hair color to blonde and then set it up so he would fall into the pool.”
“That was you?” Gohan growled deeply. “I had to color my hair back to black!”
“What else did you do?” Pan asked, titling her head to the side.
“We….. um…did the salt and sugar thing.” Hokori smiled, swimming up beside the girl. “We also did the eyes glued on everything.”
“Toushi was in on every one and Kaihei was in on some.” Zenaku climbed up on the side of the pool.
“You two were?” Kurama asked, looking quickly to his sons. Toushi and Kaihei just smiled as they continued to swim around the pool. The fox gently shook his lover. “Koi?”
“Hn?” Hiei grunted, annoyed that he had been woken up.
“Could you get our little surprises since you’re faster?” Kurama asked sweetly. Hiei growled, but he did get up and blur from sight.
“Chi Chi and I even pulled a prank.” Goku spoke up. “Chi Chi put the laxative in the food and I put the icy hot on the toilet seats.”
“That had to have been the worst prank!” Goten snapped. “As I sat down I slipped off the toilet and ended up on the floor.”
“That one was bad.” Trunks agreed. “But the stealing of our favorite items and getting ransom notes for them was the best and most harmless one.”
“Yeah, it was.” Videl laughed.
“So, who did that one?” Bulma asked, looking around the group. Just then, Hiei reappeared, holding a closed box. He sat the box on the ground and sat back down beside his lover.
“What’s that?” Gohan asked, staring at the box.
“Hn, a few surprises.” Hiei smirked, opening the box.
“We got this made?” Kurama smiled, pulling an album from the box and opening it. Inside were pictures of all the different pranks and at different angels.
“Kaihei and I took most of the pictures.” Hiei announced.
“I took a few as well.” Kurama added. “It was an opportunity that we couldn’t pass up.”
“I like the album.” Pan smiled. “It will remind us of your family’s time here.”
“That it will.” Bulma smiled, taking the book the fox was handing her.
“What else is in the box?” Chi Chi asked, leaning over some to look in it.
“Your ransomed items…..Kurama and I pulled that prank.” Hiei smirked, looking quite smug, very pleased with himself. Kurama was smiling, very pleased with himself too.
