Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Pregnant Fathers ❯ Second Trimester: Week Three ( Chapter 5 )

Hiei had a sudden urge to shred apart the book in his hands - or to at least throw it across the room, and not pick it up for another couple week,s. The more he read the book, 'Pregnant Fathers,' the more he began to doubt what he was trying to accoplice. It talked about fatherhood; it talked about the relationship between a man and the child he brought to life; and it talked about the relationship between said man and the woman that he created the child with. Especially about the relationship with the man and the woman.

What did he need that information for anyway? I would just be him and his boys after all was said and done. There wasn't . . . Hiei swallowed a dry lump in his throat, and then just forgot about the before loathed book entirely, getting up, and leaving it sitting on his bed where he would probably later despise it all over again.

"Ojisan!" The moment Hiei showed up in the living room, Hyouchuu and Nohara sprang to their feet from their seat on their ofukuro's lap, and ran to his side to grab either of his hands with both of theirs, "Ojisan, play with us!"

Yukina and the usual women were sitting in the living room along with Shizuru and Mukuro. Hie liege lady got up, and gently poked his stomach, "Hiei, you've gotten bigger since the last time I saw you."

Hiei looked back and forth from the curious Mukuro to the suddenly pouting children, wondering about which one he was to please first. So, Hiei bent down to the futago, and murmured to them, "How about the two of you give me my check up before we go out and play? Give Mukuro a chance to see them?"

"Hai!" Nohara cheered, "We have to make sure that it's okay for you to play."

Mukuro covered a smile with her bionic hand when Hiei glared at her after hearing a suspicious chuckle from her direction. However, his scowl faded, and he plopped into the seat that Mukuro had vacated, which was right next to Shizuru. He hadn't known for certain wheter anything was wrong with sitting beside her until Shizuru reached over, and began to lightly pet through his thick, silky hair to gently scratch his scalp with her long nails. He wasn't given the chance to even gasp out his surprise because Hyouchuu and Nohara practically leapt into his lap, and started pulling out his shirt from his pants to properly see his futago.

He turned his head to stare at her oddly, but then her hand was suddenly gone, and Hiei felt a bit lost without it.

"Ojisan?" Hiei looked back at his meichan, Nohara, "You ate today, right?"

Again that suspicious from somewhere in the direction of Mukuro, but Hiei bore through it with a sigh, "Ee, breakfast and lunch."

The two gasped as one, "No afternoon snack?!"

He raised an eyebrow at them, "This is a crime?"

"Hai! Hai!"

Hyouchuu continued after they shouted together, "You got to keep up your strength!"

Nohara went right over her, "And our itoko need to know they get afternoon snack everyday!"

"Oh?" Hiei smirked, "I ddint' know that you two were going to raise my boys."

They beamed up at him obliviously, and Nohara said, "Hai! We're going to make sure they get their meals everyday."

"Ne, Nohara, Hyouchuu, " he began, chuckling, "you do know that I'll take care of them, right?"

"Aa, but we'll be there to make sure that you don't mess up."

He frowned softly then, "Meichan . . . after the futago are born . . . I'm not staying here. I'm going back to the Makai as soon as I get all of my strength back."

Very quickly after he said that, the smiles on their faces dispersed, and Nohara took up a wailing cry as Hyouchuu blinked up at him with wide red eyes, "You're leaving us too? But why, Ojisan?"

Sniffling, Nohara said, "I don't want you to go too, Ojisan . . ."

"I'm not leaving for good," he tried to reassure them before he collected anymore hiruiseki on his lap, "I'll come and visit with my futago."

"But, Ojisan!"

"Musumechan," Yukina reprimanded them gently as only Yukina could, "your ojisan lives in the Makai. It's where he wants to raise his musuko."

They turned their tearfull gazes up toward Yukina - away from Hiei, thankfully - and Hyouchuu said, "But, Okaasan why can't he stay here? We want him and our itoko-chan to stay!"

"We know, Musumechan, but your ojisan wants to go back to the Makai. Besides, he has a duty there. He's Mukuro-sama's heir, remember? He can't just stop being her heir."

Immediately, they turned to Mukuro, "Order him to stay here!"

She snorted softly, smirking, "'Order him?' Hiei?" He scowled slightly at that remark, but she only smirked wider, "Well, it's true."

On his other side, Shizuru nodded, "Ee, I really can't see you actually obeying anyone."

Rolling his eyes, he explained, "I can follow orders, but nothing stupid." Wrong choice of words, flashed through his head briefly when Hyouchuu and Nohara began to wail on his lap before him. Sweating nervously as more hiruiseki appeared on his lap, Hiei tried to silence them, "I didn't mean it like that . . ."

Smiling softly at him, Yukina picked them both up, "Oh, Musumechan, you're both so silly."

After they hushed down, she put them both down, and the two scampered off, frowning softly up at Hiei before doing so. His gut twisted a moment at the sight of their faces like that. After a long moment of tense quiet, Hiei stood up, and stalked away to his room, shutting the door behind him with a soft click.
