After a minute Kuwabara came down with a towel on his head and just jeans on. He sat in a chair across the room, opposite from Yusuke. They both looked at each other, then to Kurama. "What's wrong Kurama?" The two boys saw a tear fall onto Kurama's arm and they realized he was crying. Suddenly Kurama looked up. "I have to tell you guys something….I don't want you to tell anyone else…especially Hiei. o-okay?" Yusuke was shocked. NOT Hiei? Those two were more in love than he and Kuwabara.
"Sure Kurama. Whatever you need. What's going on?" Kurama began to sob. "Ok…I…I have…..a baby youko… inside me. Growing. I-In other words…I'm pregnant."
"WHAT????? You have GOT to be joking! PLEASE tell me you're JOKING!" Kurama shook his head fiercely, preparing a fresh set of water works for if they laughed at him. "No…I-I'm not." Kurama whispered. He was trembling now. "But um…..The reason why I'm telling you is that……"

"Is what Kurama?" Kuwabara asked moving to the edge of his seat. "I broke Hiei's sword today on accident….and he punched me….In the stomach. And-and I'm scared." Yusuke and Kuwabara were speechless. "Um…how far along are you?" Kuwabara was trying to think. It was like a really old car trying to start. "S-Seven weeks." The two boys relaxed a little bit. "Oh…good…Then I'm sure you're fine the baby is probably too small to have been hit." Reasoned Yusuke. Kuwabara smiled and sat back in his chair. "No." Kurama said. Yusuke and Kuwabara looked at him again with worry in their eyes. "No. You don't understand." Kurama sighed and put his hands on his forehead, pushing up his bangs. "The duration is only eight weeks. Like I said, I'm already seven. Since my stomach doesn't get any bigger the baby is a lot smaller. But it's plenty big enough to be hit." Kuwabara and Yusuke both stood in panic at once. "Oh my god!"

"That's why I came here. Kuwabara…I need you to tell me something. Okay?" the word 'okay' was drenched with fear and anticipation. "Yeah Kurama…what is it?"
"Please count the ki of the beings in the room." Yusuke's face laid back. 'oh I get it now! Kuwabara can sense beings with power. And if this baby is a youko then he has to have a bit of power even if he cant use it after he's born. That…..That is if its alive.' Yusuke thought. Kuwabara nodded and closed his eyes. He raised his fist and began to lift fingers for each one he felt. One…..two…..three……………….Kuw abara opened his eyes and looked at Kurama. Kurama broke down sobbing, burying his face in his hands. He flopped back on the couch and cried harder. Even Yusuke had tears in his eyes.

"Kurama?" said Kuwabara. He was looking at him strange. "What?" Kurama moaned. "Don't move."
