Chapter 5: Strange Occurrences

Akira was happy that she was going to have a baby brother or sister. She was so happy that she started giving names to it. In a week Hiei's stomach grew when Yukina came over to check she announced that Hiei's going to have twins.

Kurama was frantic trying to stay ahead of Hiei's new schedule. The little demon now slept most the day away. The only time she was wake was when she was hungry. And Yukina was right. Hiei did ask for some weird food, some she hated and others Kurama never heard before. It was in those times that he went to Yukina and she cooked them, since they were Koorime food.

At night they lay in the garden and stargazed. Kurama wouldn't let Hiei in the tree so she lay next to him with Akira between them. Kurama told stories about why the stars formed pictures and Akira listened while Hiei gazed, half listening. She loved to hear the stories her fox tells and never interrupted.

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

They were heading over for Shiori's for their weekly visit. Ringing the bell Shiori greeted them and was surprised by Hiei's new . . . um, parts. (*Hiei hits Kori* Kori: @_@)

"Hiei-san, what happened," she asked.

"Sit down, mother," said Kurama walking in and taking off his sloes. "It's a long story."

They told Shiori the story and she was excited that she was going to have more grandchildren. Hiei was so embarrassed by the whole thing and if that wasn't bad enough every one else found out by Yusuke. (*Hiei hits Yusuke* Yusuke; @_@ Kori: Hiei quit hitting people!) And the girls took her shopping for clothes, dragging the guys along. When Kuwabara found out Hiei was his brother-in-law he fainted and didn't wake for hours.

They brought her maternity clothes and then went into the baby department store. Hiei first refusing to take part but soon started buying clothes in her colors, silently cursing female hormones. They decided to use the toys Akira used as a baby but had to buy more stuffed animals. Akira wouldn't let go of the ones she had.

And like Yukina said mostly with Kurama. Akira was at first sad that her father wasn't paying attention to her but Hiei made up for it by playing with her while Kurama was at work. Hiei would never tell Kurama what they play. They watched TV, played with dolls, and did each others hair. She took Akira to the park a few times to let her run around like a fire wielding youko kit should. Hiei had a time finding her when she wanted to play hide and seek. And, Kami-sama, was she good at that game. Playing with her daughter was the only time she didn't curse at being a female.

"What did you do today," asked Kurama when he and Hiei climbed into a tub of warm water.

"Killed about two hundred youkai and stole a valuable treasure from a lord. How about you?"

Kurama chuckled at Hiei's joke and answered with one of his own.

"I stole about fifty indigo opals and found a new lover."

"Hiei hit Kurama's behind hard.

"Ow, hey it wasn't that bad a joke!"

"No, it was worse." But she rubbed her lover's behind gently for an apology.

Kurama chuckled and put some herbal shampoo in Hiei's hair. Hiei started to purr under her fox's tender loving care .leaning back so Kurama could get the soup out she suddenly hissed at a tense spot on her back.

"What? Too cold?" asked Kurama. Of course he was referring to the water temperature.

"My back," said Hiei placing a hand on her lower back.

"Muscle cramp," said Kurama gently massaging the spot. After a few minutes the cramp was gone and they resume their bath.

Afterward Kurama gave Hiei a full back massage till Akira came in wanting a story, much to Hiei's annoyance. Kurama told a story about a Koorime princess who was captured by a ningen trader and set free by her brother and his band of loyal followers. She fell asleep before Kurama came to the ending.

"You had to tell her that one," said Hiei after they tucked her into bed.

"It's one of her favorites."

"When did you start that story?"

"While you were away. She took a real liking to it. Her favorite characters are the Koorime princess' brother and his best friend."

Hiei chuckled and then hissed when a pain shot through her stomach.

"Hiei?"

"One of them is kicking," said Hiei and grabbed Kurama's hand to gently place it on the spot. Kurama's eyes widened when he felt the baby kick. He smiled and hugged his mate.

"That one's got spirit," he said.

"It certainly does. It's kicking my diaphragm."

Kurama smiled and frowned when Hiei's stomach growled. Hiei looked at her fox with pleading eyes and Kurama knew what Hiei wanted. Sweet snow. The little Koorime goes through a gallon every two days. Kurama's starting to buy three jugs and hiding two at Yusuke's house so he could have an easy reach for them. And not waste money buying ice cream everyday

After Hiei finished her treat they fell asleep. Hiei tossed and turned till Kurama sang her a song to help him sleep.

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

Kurama woke to a furry ear twitching under his chin. Looking at Hiei he saw that his little Koorime was now a six foot youko with long raven hair ears and tail.

"Hiei!" yelled Kurama waking the fire Koorime. Or youko.

"What?" said Hiei opening her now gold eyes.

"You weren't supposed to use you youki!"

Hiei looked at her know youko body, swishing her tail and twitching her ears.

"But I didn't!"

"It must be when Akira made me turn youko. Do you have the feeling to want to be around just me and Akira? Or Yukina?"

Hiei shook her head. Then a soft knock came as Akira slowly opened the door to her parent's room and peeked in. inside she saw her parents sitting up in their bed and squealed when she saw Hiei.

"Yes, Daddy youko!" she squealed pouncing on Hiei's tail. Hiei quickly moved her tail away but she followed. Like any lit their favorite toy was their parent's tail and Akira was no different. She pounced and grabbed at her father's tail till she gave up and went for her ears, gently biting one.

"Ow! Watch it! Those are sensitive," said Hiei lying on her back.

"Aw, I want to play," whine Akria.

`How about with me?'

They both looked down to see a silver kitsune sitting next to Hiei Kurama had turned into his fox form to give Hiei some relief from playing with their daughter.

"Yay," squealed Akira, turning into a kitsune with raven-red hair, white starburst, and three tails. Jumping on the floor they rolled around and played, Kurama sometimes batting her away from a sensitive spot. Hiei watched her mate and daughter play, chuckling softly.

`I wouldn't be surprised if they are youko kits,' she thought, a hand on her round belly.
