Chapter Two: The Child

"What are these?!" The `bodies' aren't exactly bodies anymore; it looked more like……… He stopped his train of thoughts before it could go any further; he was not in the mood for throwing up.

Now, back to our favorite youko.

Kurama stood next to the tree, he right hand extended to caress the bark, whispering to himself or the tree, *that* his lover was not certain. "You are old……… Very old……… I………" he looked up to his lover, "Let's spend the night right here, shall we?"

Hiei raised an eyebrow, "No offence, Kit, but I thought we were on a `date.'" The other brightened instantly at his words.

"You remembered, Hiei!" The fire demon smirked and gave his a look of `Of course I did.'

"But I can't help but noticing the fried bodies scattered around here, kitsune."

"Oh! So *that's* what you were worrying about." The kitsune waved his hand and vines immediately twirled themselves around the bodies, decomposing them in a matter of seconds. "There. Is that better, itooshi?" Hiei nodded dumbly and followed his fox to sit under the tree. He curled up next to his kit. Nights in this part of Maikai are quiet cold and his lover just looked so warm.

"Good night, Dragon. I love you."

"Hn……… I love you, too, but don't tell anyone."

The redhead chuckled as he settled himself more comfortable against his boyfriend. It wasn't long before they both fell into the world of dreams.

The full moon shone bright in the sky.

Kurama woke up because he kept feeling someone was shining a light in his eyes. He looked at their surroundings. Trees, grass, grass, child, trees, more trees………Wait, *child*?

He rubbed his eyes and blinked to make sure he saw what he thought he saw. Surely, there was glowing child floating in the middle of the clearing. The child was in nothing but his/her birthday suit and was facing him, however, since the child was in a curled up position, Kurama couldn't tell the child's gender.

The child opened his/her (Keep saying his/her is too much work so I using `she' until further notice.) eyes and stared into Kurama's direction.

Glowing silver met emerald green.

Then she muttered a single in an ancient language. "Natïm."

Then the child closed her eyes and the glow that surrounded her disappeared.

She fell.

Kurama never knew he could jump that far as he wrapped his arms around the child before she hit the grassy grounds below her and cradled her in the safety of his arms. He let his eyes travel over her childish features.

Straight but curly at the end silver hair framed her face, as two delicate silver eyebrows rested just above two round eyes that at this moment were covered by closed eyelids, a small buttoned nose that reminded him so much of his Koorime lover, and a small mouth with pouty, full lips. (I know pouty is not a word. But I DON'T care.)

He slowly let his wondering gaze travel lower and lower. The youko had decided to find out the child's gender before she wakes up; he knew the feeling when somebody mistakes your gender, hell, he'd been mistook as a girl for more than……… Well, he lost count after 200……… *So* anyway he gaze traveled.

Down her neck, chest, (Note: since the child is still young, Kurama couldn't tell from there.) stomach, waist………

His grass green eyes gone wide and he nearly dropped her.

The redhead ran to his still sleeping boyfriend and kneeled beside him, calling the other's name. "Hiei! Hiei!" The youko-nigen signed when there was no response then cradled the silver-haired child in his left arm as he shook his friend roughly by the shoulder with his right hand. He inhaled a deep breath and………

"HIEI, WAAAAKKKKKE UUUUPPPPP!"

The called demon jumped as he covered his sensitive youkai ears. The fire demon looked around, searching until his gaze landed on Kurama and the child in his arms. He raised an eyebrow.

"Who's the kid?"

The redhead didn't answer, he just showed the other the `part' of the child that disturbed him the most and watched with half-amusement as Hiei's already large crimson eyes widened to an impossible degree.

Hiei felt his jaw drop.
