The Gift

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Koenma finished his chant, dropping his hands to his sides. The gold glowing door slowly bled to white. There came a bright flash and then the ward fell a way followed by the sound of the door unlocking. Koenma opened the door, stepped to the side, and then waved his friends to enter.

The demons walked into the dark room noticing that the only light in the room was coming from the open door. Botan walked in next followed by her husband. Koenma pulled the door closed behind them all, plunging the room into complete darkness.

Before anyone could react his voice was heard, “Shield your eyes, I’m about to flip on the lights.”

The lights came on, but there were only four small ones which left the room still very dim. Hiei, Kurama, and the boys slowly looked around. The room was quite small and extremely warm. On one side of the room was a beeping machine with hoses and wires running up the wall. But the group’s full attention was drawn to the center of the room.

The four small lights were in a circle, shining down on a very odd looking thing hanging from the ceiling in the middle of them. The thing looked like something crossed between a machine and a huge plant. The roots of the plant were attached to the ceiling, holding it in place. The deep green stalk had electric wires and hoses running down it, attached by vines. Big heart-shaped leaves sprouted from each side of the stalk every few inches.

At what would be the top of the stalk, hanging four feet above the floor, was a very large purple flower. Hanging from the center of that flower was a rather big plastic looking bubble. The wires and hoses were attached to this ’bubble’ and it was filled full of a dark purple liquid that was the same color of the petals of the flower.

“What is that thing?” Kurama was the first to find his voice, though it came out as a whisper. He had never seen anything like it.

“That thing doesn’t really have a name. Botan, myself, and a very special helper like to call it second chance.”

“How did you get it and grow it?” Kaihei asked, taking a step forward for a closer look. It was intriguing.

“It was an idea of mine and my special helper’s. We made it together and it serves it’s purpose well.” Koenma answered as he walked up to the plant thing and ran a hand across the plastic bubble.

“You keep saying special friend.” Hiei was having trouble understanding this gift and the god’s evasive answers were becoming annoying. “Who is this special friend? What’s the being’s name?”

“Give me a few moments and I’ll answer that.” Koenma glanced to his wife. “Honey, can you get the three items I need? I also imagine a chair will be needed as well.”

“Yeah,” Botan turned and walked into a dark corner of the room. Shuffling and scraping noises were heard before she came back into the light. She carried a folding chair and a folded up white towel. As Botan set up the chair, Koenma finally answered the fire demon’s question.

“My special friend is someone Kurama knows well, the fox god, Inari. I suppose you can call him my partner in crime, because we kind of broke several Reikai laws with what we did.”

“Inari helped with this ‘gift’?” Kurama was a bit surprised by this.

“Yeah, you know you’ve always been Inari’s favorite. It would certainly explain your good luck.” Koenma opened the towel across his wife’s arms, revealing a sharp looking knife and a pair of scissors. “Inari has always had a hand in the lives you have led, Kurama. He was suppose to be here for this, but as you saw he got pretty drunk at the party.”

He picked up the knife and then waved towards the empty seat. “I suggest that you be sitting down when I pass you this ‘gift’, Kurama.”

“Um…Okay.” Kurama sat down in the folding chair, clearly confused by the whole situation. He personally didn’t like secrecy…unless he was a part of it.

Hiei moved over to stand beside his mate. Something in his gut told him that the fox was going to need his support. Toushi and Kaihei moved in on the other side of their red headed father, both feeling practically the same instincts as the fire demon.

“Alright, here we go.” Koenma turned fully to the plastic bubble trying to hide the smile on his face.

Botan quickly moved forward to stand at her husband’s side. Koenma glanced at his wife, winking before he started to work. He cut a half circle into the side of the plaster bubble, causing the purple fluid to rush out and splash messily onto the tiled floor.

From their vantage point the demon family couldn’t see much. Their friends were in the way, but they did see the god reach into the slit he had just made. Koenma dropped the knife to the floor and quickly picked up the scissors. He slipped the scissors into the plastic bubble for a few seconds and then dropped them to the floor. Koenma grabbed the towel from Botan with his left hand as he slowly drew his right hand out of the plastic bubble.

A strange hiccupping sound was heard as Koenma moved his hands around in front of his body with his back still to his friends. Deep down, Kurama knew that he should recognize that sound. The sound was heard again, forcing him to start putting the pieces together. Kurama began breathing rapidly and grabbed the sword calloused hand that landed on his shoulder. It seemed the fire demon was figuring it out too.

Botan was the first to turn, grinning like mad. “I hope you like this gift my friends.”

Koenma slowly turned, revealing that his arms held the towel with something obviously in it and it wasn’t too hard to figure out what that something was. Kurama was almost to the point of hyperventilating as the god neared him with a big smile on his face.

“Relax, fox, and be careful when you take the ‘gift’.” Hiei encouraged before he released his mate’s hand and put his hand back on a very tense shoulder.

Koenma stopped in front of the red head. “Hold out your arms.”

Kurama took a deep breath as he did what he was told. Koenma carefully laid the bundle into the visibly shaking arms. Kurama drew the ’gift’ close to his body, shuddering upon feeling warmth coming from the towel. Hiei briefly glanced at everyone before he reached out and gently tugged open the material.

There was a collection of gasps from the demon family at what was revealed. Kurama was holding a tiny baby that looked exactly like a new born. And was an exact replica of Tenshi. He raised a tear stained face upwards until he met his friend’s eyes.

“This…is…this is…um…… is this……,” he wasn’t able to get out what he wanted to say.

Koenma understood though. He squatted down in front of the red head. “I know what you are about to say and ask. The answer is yes, the baby you are holding is the baby that was aborted nearly twenty years ago. Congratulations, it’s a girl.”

Kurama couldn’t hold it in anymore. He started shaking with quiet sobs, holding his daughter tightly and yet also gently against his chest. Hiei wrapped is arms around his mate’ shoulders fighting to control his own emotions. He wasn’t crying, but anyone could tell that his eyes were swimming in held back tears.

The demons felt that now their lives were complete, and they couldn’t be any happier or more relieved. Thanks to a couple of great friends and a favorable patron fox god, they had their lost daughter back. The daughter that they truly believed they would never get to see and hold.

Toushi and Kaihei were smiling from ear to ear. They were thrilled to get a new sister and happy that it was the same one that had been mistakenly aborted. The hole that had been in their family was now filled.

For ten very long minutes there was relative silence in the room. Hiei held his mate, while Kurama held their tiny daughter. The others didn’t say or do anything. They didn’t want to ruin the special moment.

Hiei managed to get his emotions under control first. He lifted his head as he took a deep cleansing breath. A few seconds later, Kurama did the same. He asked the question they all wanted to know.

“How did you do this?”

“A few years ago, I found an ancient book of spells in the Reikai library when I was looking for a scroll. Something, a gut instinct, told me to read this book and I did. About half way through I found the spell to restore life of an accidentally lost soul.” Koenma got tired of squatting so he sat down fully on the floor.

“The spell, however, required that the being that performed it have at least half of the powers of the Reikai throne. Quite simply, I needed to have half of my father’s powers. So I started planning and waiting until a year ago when I finally allowed and given half of my father’s powers.”

“But I was going to need some help, a lot of help. The problem with the spell is you had to have something of the soul’s body for the spell to work, not including the soul and that’s all I had. The spell actually would have created a whole new body for the child if we had any of the say the child’s blood for example, but again we didn’t have anything. I recruited Inari’s help when I realized this. We were going to have to create the child’s body first and then insert the soul.”

“The contraption you see, the plant/machine, was what we came up with. Inari did the plant aspect and I was responsible for the technology. Inari used his powers to transform blood samples we had of you two from years ago into something similar to a sperm and an egg. He then helped them to combine and start forming into a baby, though we made sure it didn’t have a soul. Also working from a baby picture of Tenshi, I used another rather simple spell to make the infant‘s body and facial structure identical.”

“When the body was old enough, I used the spell to place your daughter’s soul in it. It took longer then the usual three months gestation for this demon child to be ready to come into the world, but I think that was due to the whole strange process. The baby you now hold, Kurama, is your lost daughter in every way. She is Tenshi’s identical twin sister, though she was born nearly twenty years later.”

“She is a full demon because the blood that was used was from the sample Bulma took when you two were pregnant. I hope that you and Hiei are happy about this and that you want her because I took a lot of risks to give her back to you two.”

“If my father had known what I was planning or what I have been doing, I never would have become the King of the Reikai today. He probably would have disowned me and threw me into the Reikai jail. I broke so many laws by doing this, by giving you back your daughter.”

“But now nothing can be done to take the baby away from you and nothing can be done to me for righting this wrong. With me as the King of Reikai, I make the laws and I do what I want. No one can take the Reikai powers of the throne from me, it can only be transferred to my heir and my son is far to young to take the throne. You could say that every god that may disapprove is stuck with me and my decisions.”

Kurama looked back down and stared into his daughter’s face. The baby was the spitting imagine of Tenshi when she was a baby, right down to the bright red hair, and red eyes with a natural purple jagan included. The baby was perfect in every way, despite how she came into being. “Thank you, Koenma. Thank you so much for giving us our daughter back. Hiei and I are very happy for this gift.”

“So do you two have any idea of a name for her?”

“We already have a name for her.” Hiei gently touched a tiny fisted hand. “She was named when we found out the baby would have been a girl if she was born.”

Kurama leaned down and brushed his lips across the baby’s forehead, being mindful of the jagan eye. “Her name is Namida. It means tears. We thought it was fitting considering the amount of tears that were shed for her.”

“Now more will be shed, but now they’re happy tears.” Hiei added a small smile on his lips. “The name still fits her.”

“Well then, Happy Birthday Namida.” Koenma did a couple of secret hand signs, easily blessing the child. “May all the gods keep you safe.”
