Lisha roused from her deep slumber, feeling something different than she did every morning before. She started to sit up when she felt an arm around her waist, she stopped and turned to see Kurama smiling at her. The actions of last night instantly came to her. She blushed and smiled back at Kurama.

 

“Good morning sunshine.” Kurama teased. “Sleep well?”

 

“Mmmmm.” Lisha mumbled as she buried her face into Kurama's chest.

 

“I'm afraid that we can't stay here forever Lish.” He brushed some of her hair from her face.

 

“Mmm, why not?” she pushed her face back into his chest.

 

“Because we have a life to continue with.”

 

“Kurama, one thing first before I decide to wake up.” She pulled back her face and looked up at Kurama.

 

“Sure, what is it?” He looked down into her deep orbs.

 

“Promise me that you'll never leave me, please.” She looked at him with shining eyes.

 

Kurama smiled. “Of course, I'll stay by your side until the day that we die.”

 

She smiled and cuddled into Kurama once more before finally getting up. She gathered her skirt and shirt and slid them on, not tying the corset top very tightly. “I'm going to head to the shower first, I'll meet you in the kitchen.”

 

Kurama nodded and watched her leave his room. She went into her room and grabbed some things. She pulled out her lime green long-sleeve belly shirt, and her black skirt that went down to just above her knees from her closet and went down to the bathroom. Once she was satisfied with her cleanliness, she put on her clothes and went to the kitchen with the towel on her head. Kurama was sitting at the table and Yukina was messing around with food as she did every morning.

 

“So Lisha, what's your taste dujor this morning?” Yukina asked.

 

“Same as always, a banana.” Lisha replied pulling one from the bunch. “I think that this'll be my breakfast forever.” She went to sit next to Kurama, but then turned around. “Actually, some toast sounds good to me right now.”

 

Yukina smiled and handed her a piece of toast. “Strawberry jam, or marmalade?”

 

“Er, jam.” Lisha took the jar from Yukina and sat down next to Kurama.

 

“Straying from our normal choices of meals Lish?” Kurama questioned with a smile.

 

“Hm?” Lisha turned to Kurama with the toast hanging out of her mouth. “Oh, yeah I guess. This just sounded good right now. I'm gonna go to see Lindsay today, hope you don't mind.”

 

“Just call me if you're going to be there later than seven.”

 

Lisha stood up and bowed. “Yes master.”

 

Kurama grabbed her waist and pulled her to himself. She let out a small `ep!' before he gave her a quick kiss. “Have fun.”

 

“I always do `Rama. See ya later. Love you.” She made her way out of the kitchen.

 

“Love you too Lish.” Kurama turned back in his seat to his teacup.

 

Yukina came around and sat opposite Kurama. After a few sips of her own tea, she spoke up. “Did you notice it as well Kurama?” she asked.

 

Kurama looked up. “The difference in her scent?”

 

She nodded. “Not just from mating with you last night, the other one.”

 

“Yes, I noticed it when we woke up this morning.” He looked out the door that Lisha had just passed through. “She's pregnant.”

 

“When do you plan on telling her?”

 

He re-directed his attention to Yukina. “Tonight. I don't like keeping things from her.”

 

“It's really hard to keep things from her.” She looked down. “I told her about my mate yesterday.”

 

“Have you told Kuwabara that you can't be with him yet?”

 

She sighed. “I've tried, but he's too thick-headed. Maybe I should ask my mate to come for a visit. I haven't seen him or our children for fifteen years.”

 

“Didn't he say not to come back until you've found your brother?”

 

“Yeah, but I'm starting to think that I'll never find him.” A few tears started to well up in her eyes. “I don't care who he is or what he's done, I just want to know him.” The soft plink of her tear gems was heard from the table.

 

Kurama got up and put an arm around Yukina. “You'll find him soon. He's bound to be out there somewhere.”

 

“Yeah.” She gathered up the gems from the table. “I'll add these to the box. I could make three necklaces, a set of earrings, two bracelets, a ring for each finger, and still have some left over with all the gems that were from my brother.”

 

“Do you think that he'd approve of you crying every night over him?”

 

“No, probably not.”

“Lisha, you're so great with her.” Lindsay said. Lisha smiled at her friend before returning her smile to the small baby in her arms. “I'm serious, you, Mark, and my mom are the only people other than me that she'll stay quiet for.”

 

Sukira grabbed a clump of Lisha's purple locks and gave a gentle tug. “Suki, give me back my hair please.” Lisha eased her hair out the small hand. “Do you think that it has anything to do with the fact that my hair is very long?”

 

Lindsay laughed. “It could, but you're the only one with hair that long.”

 

“Exactly.” Sukira started to wine. “That's a hungry wine isn't it?”

 

Lindsay sighed. “Yeah, here.” Lisha handed Sukira over to Lindsay to put on her bib while she got up to get the food.

 

Lisha came back and sat down opposite Lindsay with a small jar and spoon. She opened the jar and started to feed Sukira, who eagerly accepted the food. “She eats this stuff faster than my old neighbor's son did.”

 

“I think you're just great with small children. She doesn't like it when Mark tries to feed her.” She wiped the bit of food from her baby's mouth with the bib.

 

“It might also have to do with the fact that she doesn't much like to be fed by anyone but her mother, or me.”

 

“Yeah, he wasn't the one who breast fed her. Or the one who fed her when I wasn't around.”

 

Lisha smiled as she put a small spoonful more into Sukira's mouth.

 

~Flashback~

 

“Wow, she sure is hungry.” Lisha said watching Sukira suckle Lindsay.

 

“She's barely a month old, wouldn't you be hungry a lot too?”

 

Lisha looked up at the ceiling. “I dunno, I'm always hungry anyways, so.”

 

“True, true.”

 

The door opened and Mark started to walk in. “I'm back, I've got the—” he stopped, dropped the papers that were in his hands and turned around. “Sorry, I'll be back in a half hour.” He put his coat back on and left the dorm room.

 

Lisha got up picked up the papers. “What to do if your child won't feed?” She looked back to Lindsay. “Looks like she's feeding just fine to me.”

 

Lindsay smiled and motioned for Lisha to sit back down. “She wasn't before, I was getting kinda sore, so he was going to get information from the doctor's office for me. I guess it just took her godmother to convince her.”

 

“All's I did was get her and give her to you.”

 

“It took your mere presence to make it happen.”

 

Lisha rolled her eyes. “Sure, whatever you say.”

 

~End Flashback~

 

“Lisha, you're going to be a great mother someday.” Lindsay said.

 

Lisha smiled and closed the empty jar. “Sooner than you think.” She mumbled.

 

“What d'you mean?” She cocked her head to the side.

 

Lisha stood up and went into the kitchen to clean out the jar, then she threw it into the bag. When she came back, Lindsay had the look that said `don't think I forgot, keep talking.' She sighed. “I overheard `Rama and Yuki talking this morning, I'm pregnant. I also noticed the feeling of my body making small adjustments this morning.”

 

Lindsay set Sukira down in her rocker. “Wait, if you're pregnant, then that means that you,”

 

“I gave it last night.”

 

Lindsay squealed and pulled Lisha into a big hug. “I'm so happy for you Lish!”

 

Lisha smiled and returned the embrace. The door clicked open and Mark came in with a few bags in his hands. “Do you two always have to hug?” he asked.

 

They sat back down on the couch and giggled. “Yes, Mark, we do. I'm me and that should explain everything.” Lisha said.

 

“True, true.” He sighed. “Lish, have you noticed the change in your,”

 

“Why do you think that we were hugging Mark?” Lindsay said. She walked over to him and gave him a soft kiss, then took the bags and went to the kitchen.

 

“So you did notice then?”

 

“Of course. I also overheard my mate talking about it. Apparently, it's not just my aura that changes, but also my scent.” She sat back down on the couch and crossed her legs. “I don't know what I feel though.”

 

Mark sat down next to her. “You do have confusion swirling around you.”

 

“Would you mind?”

 

Mark smiled. “Not at all. Sit down here.” Lisha slid down in front of Mark. (*I'm not going to go through all the stuff he does. If you really want to know, go back to chapter 6*)

 

Lindsay came back in and quietly took Sukira into her room to put her down for a nap, not wanting to distract Lisha. Quietly, she came back in and sat down on the couch. Once they were finished, Lisha slumped back into the couch, felling completely relaxed. “Thanks.” She mumbled before falling asleep.

 

“Uh, Lisha?” Mark stopped when he felt Lindsay's hand on his shoulder.

 

Lindsay shook her head. “Let her sleep, she's had a `busy' night.”

 

“Oh.”

 

The two got up and left the dorm to let the two occupants sleep.

“Fox, what is it?” Hiei asked, slightly annoyed. Azriel placed an arm around his neck in hopes to calm him.

 

Kurama sighed. “I know that you heard what Yukina said this morning,”

 

“What's your point?”

 

Azriel turned to Hiei. “You heard that, and you still won't tell her? Some big brother.”

 

“Yame, stay out of this.” Hiei said, more annoyed.

 

“Hiei, since I'm your mate, she's my sister too. I want to know her as a sister, not an acquaintance, which is what it's becoming.” She yanked on his ear. “If you don't tell her after this morning, I will.” Hiei grabbed her hand and growled at her. “Oh, big scary Hiei's growling at me, I'm shaking. What are ya gonna do this time, chain me up and make me stay?”

 

“Hiei, Azriel's right.” Kurama said. “You don't have to tell her, but someone will, she might just figure it out on her own.”

 

Azriel's head snapped in Kurama's direction. “What d'you mean he doesn't have to tell her?? He's her brother, of course he has to tell her!”

 

“Azriel, you don't know why he doesn't tell her do you?”

 

“He shouldn't have a reason, he needs to stop being so selfish.”

 

“He had to make a deal with the guy that implanted his jagan. If he was to tell her, he'd loose it.”

 

“But if someone else was to tell her,”

 

Hiei closed his eyes in defeat. “Fine, if it will get you two to shut up, you can tell her Yame.”

 

“Thank you Hiei.” Azriel said before running out of the forest.

 

“This is your head fox.” Hiei growled before flitting off after her.

 

Please Review

 

A/N: When Hiei had his Jagan eye implanted, after he had stabbed straight through his hand to show that he could handle the pain and giving up his tear gem as payment he was forced to not tell Yukina that he was her sister, lest he loose his jagan.
