Chapter 5
Hiei opened the door of the workroom and took a step out, but stopped when he noticed Hikori. The young man was standing there with big hurt eyes and staring at him very pathetically.
"You didn't want me?" he asked pitifully. The two of them stood there, but the silence was broken by laughter in the room across from them. Hikori's face changed into a look of annoyance. He turned around, "I thought you two said you weren't going to laugh?"
In the room, Naoru was sitting on their bed trying to stifle her laughter, while Raimeihi stood against the wall. His laughter had already subsided, but he still had a grin on his face.
"You will never make it as an actor Hikori," Raimeihi said.
"You should have done this," Naoru said as she got to her feet. She took a few steps closer to Raimeihi. She took a dramatic pose. "You didn't want me?" she exclaimed emotionally. She brought one hand up to her forehead, the back of her hand against it. "You cruel, cruel person!" She collapsed and Raimeihi caught her with easy grace.
"That's just scary," Hikori said with a very frightened look on his face.
Naoru and Raimeihi grinned as Raimeihi helped Naoru up. "Get used to it kid," Raimeihi said.
"I don't think I want to," Hikori said wearily.
"What was your final decision?" Naoru asked her daughter.
Shiroi smiled, but it was Hiei who answered. "It's going to be double trouble around this house."
Naoru smiled happily, "Good, I can't wait."
"It's going to be chaos," Raimeihi said as he wrapped his arms around his wife.
"I'm sure we'll be able to handle it," Naoru replied. "We'll even have an extra helper," she added, looking at Hikori.
Hikori grinned, "Sure."
ooo
A little while later, all of them were sitting in the living room. Kaika was sitting on the floor playing with some toys that they had borrowed from Anada and Tana, while Hikori watched from where he sat on the couch. Hiei appeared to be sleeping, and Raimeihi was drawing out plans for constructing what needed to be built for the babies. Naoru and Shiroi were quietly discussing what else needed to be done for their babies.
"You've have to teach me how to sew better," Shiroi said. "The best I can do so far is minor repairs."
"That's not a problem," Naoru said. "It's not very difficult, so you should learn quickly."
"I hope so," Shiroi said. "I tried to teach myself how to knit once, I wasn't very good at it."
"She tried making a hat and it ended up looking like a rag," Hikori teased.
"It wasn't finished," Shiroi muttered.
Naoru laughed softly, "Teaching yourself is one thing, being taught is another."
"But I taught myself how to use the more advanced moves for my powers," Shiroi said.
"Powers and home economics are two very different things," Naoru replied.
"I guess so," Shiroi groaned.
Someone knocked on the front door. Raimeihi got up to get it, and when he opened the door and found Elder Sansa and Nana standing there. "Hello," he said.
"I hope we aren't barging in," Nana said. "I told Sansa about Naoru and Shiroi and he had to come over and see them."
"We were expecting you to come some time during the day anyway Nana," Naoru said as she got to her feet to greet their visitors.
"I hear we'll expecting two more members to our village," Sansa said as Naoru approached. "I'm glad to hear it."
"It was almost one a few hours ago," Naoru said. "Luckily that was straightened out."
"Oh?" Sansa asked. "How so?"
"It was Hiei's fault and Hikori saved the day," Raimeihi said from where he sat. Hiei glared at him. "Can't hide from the truth," Raimeihi said with a grin.
"So Nana, what ideas do you have?" Naoru asked, changing the subject.
"Only a few right now," Nana answered. "It's not as fun, or easy, to design clothes for a baby when we don't know it's gender yet."
"I know," Naoru said. "It would be nice to know the genders before hand, but it isn't possible."
"It's possible," Shiroi said. "We just don't have the resources to do it."
"Resources?" Sansa asked.
"Machinery," Shiroi answered. "Don't make me explain it, it's very complicated."
"That'd be something to ask Kurama," Hikori said. "He knows all about that kind of stuff even though he studies mostly plants."
"We'll keep that in mind," Naoru replied.
ooo
Later that evening, Hiei was lying on the roof looking up at the stars.
"Here you are," Shiroi said as she sat down beside him. "Are you okay?"
Hiei nodded, "I'm fine." He looked at her, "Should you even be up here?"
Shiroi smiled, "Yes, I can do what I want to as long as I'm careful. I did a full training session with you when I was pregnant with Hikori, remember?"
Hiei sat up. "I do, and I was stupid back then. I didn't know what could possibly happen to you. Now I know, and I won't be letting you do anything like that."
Shiroi sighed. "Whatever you say." She reclined against the roof. "It's nice and quiet up here. I see why you come up here so often, it's easy to get away from the chaos up here."
"Which chaos do you mean?" Hiei asked dryly. "The chaos in your family? Or the chaos amongst our own?"
Shiroi laughed, "Oh Hiei." He smiled, "Though I do know what you mean. Hikori..." She trailed off. "I have mixed feelings about what he did. I'm glad he intervened, but it doesn't excuse the fact that he was eavesdropping." She sighed, "It's hard to decide if we should punish him or not."
Hiei lay back down. "Whether he did anything or not, after hearing what we did, I would have been fine either way."
"What does that supposed to mean?" Shiroi asked.
Hiei shrugged, "If he hadn't done anything and you had gone through with it, I don't think I would have really cared."
Shiroi sat up, looking hurt. She looked away from him and started to get to her feet. Suddenly she was caught up in Hiei's grasp.
"I wasn't finished," Hiei said. "That was before Hikori notified us of what you were doing. If I hadn't known what you had done, it wouldn't have mattered to me. Now that I know about it, and you had still gone through with it, I would have been mad."
"Mad?" Shiroi asked.
Hiei nodded, "I would have been mad, at you. Since I would have known that you did it against what you really wanted."
Shiroi looked away. "It's sorted out, for now." Hiei let her go. "I'm going to bed." She jumped off the roof and floated down to the ground.
Hiei watched her go. Once she was inside, he sat back down and reclined back against the roof. He looked up at the starry sky. His thoughts drifted, only coming back to reality when his son's voice pierced his thoughts.
"Are you listening to me?" Hikori asked.
Hiei sat up and looked behind him. "What are you doing up here?"
"I saw Mom come in a while ago and started wondering where you were," Hikori answered as he came over and sat down. "Am I in trouble for eavesdropping?"
"Your mother is still thinking about it," Hiei answered. "Whatever she says goes."
"Isn't it always that way?" Hikori asked.
"No," Hiei answered. "How do you think today worked?"
Hikori made a face. "I don't want to go into that."
Hiei closed his eyes, "Go back inside, I'll be in there in a little while."
Hikori sighed and did as his father said. He jumped off the roof and landed on his feet. He glanced back up, even though he knew wouldn't be able to see his father at the angle he was standing it. "Raimeihi makes more sense than he does," Hikori muttered as he went inside.

Author's Note: Sorry about the wait, my writer's block has been horrible lately. I'll try to make the next chapter a little livelier. I do have plans for some action later. Until next chapter then. Review me and tell me what you think.
