A/N- well, not many review from this site, so I cant say I'm not disappointed in that view, but the reviews I did happen to catch were lovely to read ^_^ I'm surprised I've got no flames at all on this story, that was rather a nightmare I had thought up of when I started browseing around for other OC stories and found a lot out there that are much, MUCH better than mine! But hey, I'm trying to do my best and it seems to have worked. The `hits' on this story are going up faster than on Fanfiction.net although it is behind a few thousand or so… still, I love that others like my work as much as I enjoy writing it!
((shit I sound self centered…)) is that how a `closing A/N is supposed to be?? I don't sound conceited do I??
Anyways, please help the review count and review the story!
Oh!- I don't own Yu Yu Hakkusho

Chapter 22- Final beginning
Desota felt so heavy. Her body absolutely didn't want to move and she felt like she did on a winter morning in a warm bed. She didn't want to get up, but the sun or something with a bright light was shining in her face and she was waking up whether she wanted it or not.
With a moan, Desota slowly sat up and looked around. She was back in the Minamino apartment. She was in the guest bedroom across the hall from Kurama's' own bedroom. Rubbing her eyes, Desota glanced over at the mahogany wooded dresser to check the time on the digital clock.
“8:00 a.m.?” she groaned, “I'm going back to sleep.”
Before she could pull the covers over her once again, Kurama's voice reached her from the door way, “Oh, so you're already up? Good, I was just about to wake you.” Suddenly, she was deprived of her warm cocoon of the comforter when it was yanked off her almost gently, but she got the hint that there was no getting out of this one.
Sitting up fiercely intent on glaring at the ill willed red head that dared take away her warm blanked, Desota suddenly sat there dumbstruck as Kurama set a breakfast tray over her lap with a pancake breakfast complete with scrambled eggs and beacon with a glass of orange juice and even milk! Hell there was even a red rose flower in a bottle vase to decorate the tray even! She was sure that one had come out of his personal garden. Its color was too healthy and deep to be otherwise.
“Kurama? What's all this?” she cocked her head to the side curiously up at the fox demon.
Kurama just smiled down at her, “You're still recovering and it's Saturday today. So I had time to make you breakfast this morning and let mother sleep. Lord knows she needs it with all the wedding shopping she plans on doing today.”
Desota nodded at that, but then gave him a dry look, “So the lady that gets to go shopping today gets to sleep in but the girl who's pregnant and still `healing' as you say must get up now?”
“Precisely the point,” Kurama agreed shamelessly with a smile when she groaned and slumped her shoulders in defeat.
It had been only 2 weeks ago that Hakkuto had revived her and the surprise baby that she carried. It was a day he'd always remember as the day he both won and lost it all.
She remembered him, and still loved him as a friend, but other than that, something had complicated things and made it to where she didn't remember anything more that went between them. Hakkuto told them that she never would be able to remember her love for him, but she could still fall in love once more. She knew she all that happened from the time he first met her and all their adventures, but anything that led her heart on in their romantic feelings for each other was permanently erased from her heart, mind and soul.
She knows she's pregnant, but doesn't know who the father of her child is. For all she knew, she bought the story the others were surprised to hear Kurama telling her that she got too drunk at a club outing they went to and had a quickly with the father in the back of the ally. Hakkuto had pulled him aside before she woke up after he brought her back to life and told him the delicacy of the situation. The unicorn didn't know the full extent of the curse on her, but knew that what its purpose was to do on her was already done. She wouldn't remember anything about their lovemaking and could very well breakdown if she learnt that Kurama and she were anything so early in the game. The Unicorn suggested that if Kurama and Yoko wanted to keep her still and share their child's life as the father and mate to its mother, then wait to tell her the truth after she fell in love with him again.
It had hurt him when the Unicorn told him the best course of action. Yoko and he had analyzed many other ways they could break it to her earlier, but every plan was doomed to failure and both didn't want to lose her again. So they decided to take Hakkuto's advise had to offer and get her to fall in love once more. Yoko wasn't appalled in any way when they decided to start over and work the relationship back to the way it once was. In fact, the silver Kitsune was preening at the advantage they had over her that they did in fact know her intimately and was looking forward to using this knowledge to its full extent to seduce her all over again. The 1st time was rushed, but this time, they both wanted to slow it down and milk the pleasure they knew could be released if only given a slight nudge. They would get her back to their side once again.
Desota looked up at him through her long ebony bangs and blew the morning hair fuzz out of her eyes with a small puff of air, “You're just eating this up that you get to tease me again when I'm too tired to do much in retaliation.” She snorted up at him then yawned.
Kurama chuckled, “Fine, you caught me.” He shook his head.
She stretched, mindful of the balanced tray across her lap, and then picked up her fork to dig into her pancakes. She had once tried to eat with chopsticks like Kurama and his family ate with, but she ended up dropping her food everywhere but her mouth. So she just insisted on using a fork. She may be somewhat Japanese, but chopsticks and her didn't mix well.
Kurama watched her while she ate as the two simply sat in silence, waiting for her to finish her meal. She seemed hungrier than usual, for when a piece of her syrupy pancake missed her mouth and stuck to her chin; she ignored it and continued cowing down.
Kurama could feel Yoko stir from with in him and dreaded the reality that the perverted fox was indeed once more awake.
//She's certainly ignorant this morning// the Kitsune mused with purr.
`She's always ignorant like this.' Kurama deadpanned.
//I say we clean her up then. She's giving us an opening, so why don't we just help her with cleaning the syrup from her lip and mouth….. Then we could even try//
`Yoko… You know as well as I do that you're rushing ahead of yourself. She doesn't recognize us as a suitor anymore. All we are to her is her friend like we used to be.' Kurama reminded with a hint of nostalgia.
His feeling was mutual between the 2 halves of the spirit.
//All the more reason for us to correct her view// Yoko said snidely, choosing to omit those feelings Kurama had up rooted from them. They'd get nowhere if they brooded on what happened to the relationship they once had. He looked at this as an opportunity: if they could get under her skin before, imagine how much they could fan that passionate flame inside her now that they knew what made her tick even if she didn't?
Kurama had to suppress a chuckle at his other sides' optimism of the situation, but he had to agree that Yoko had a good point. He shook his head mentally when Yoko whined as Desota used the napkin to clean herself off, taking away the kitusunes `opening' to start something up.
Desota downed her orange juice as she finished her breakfast and turned to her close friend, “So, now that you've got me up, what do you have planed?” she asked. Knowing he wasn't one to disturb her when she slept unless something was planned.
Kurama frowned, “Do I need a reason?” with the `don't give me that crap' look she sent him he shook his head and sighed dejectedly, “Come on, I was bored.”
“You and bored rarely end up in the same sentence and you know it.” She chided him as she crossed her arms over her chest waiting for her answer.
//You're losing the battle, Kurama// Yoko taunted with a smirk.
`I'd like to see you try any better.' Kurama justified himself with out a second thought.
Yoko's confidant smirk turned smug as a fang poked out of his mouth in an evil like way //She can't complain and moan about it if I'm on top of her soon as I say it and kiss away any protest she'd have before it even came to thought.//
`Shameless bastard'
//You're too kind//
Kurama didn't say anything after a while so Desota chose to speak instead, “If it's going to that `baby doctor' then I say hell no.” she stubbornly refused. She didn't even know the proper term for it, but she'd never been to a doctor and didn't plan on needing to.
“Dessy…,” Kurama warned.
“No means No means NO.” Desota shook her head, “I'm demon after all so I can't risk anything getting out about it. Besides, I don't like the idea of these `shots' Kuwabara said the Doctor has to give you. They sound none too pleasant.”
“Quit acting so stubborn about it. This kind of thing has never made you so stubborn before.” Kurama persisted.
//Yeah but she was never pregnant before either// Yoko chided Kurama.
`She also had a lot on her mind back then' Kurama sighed in agreement this once.
“It's not like they're going to hurt you. You know I wouldn't let them do anything like that.” Kurama tried to ease her into caving.
“I'm sure you wouldn't Kurama. Believe me when I say I have complete confidence in that.” She unknowingly just made his ego swell, “But I still refuse to go to a human hospital for this pregnancy.”
And….. Now she deflated the said ego that had just been inflated by her words. Man! She was getting good at dealing with him.
//Isn't it great? We get to up our game because she's learning how do react to us.// Yoko preened.
`It just makes me love her more' Kurama said back and the silver Kitsune could only spread a warm feeling over them as he agreed wholly.
“Isn't there someone we know that could do it instead?” Desota tried a different approach. He was getting to be more and more over bearing now that he knew she was pregnant. She guessed it was because he got so attached to her while she stayed here.
Kurama thought about it a moment, “The only one I can think of is Genkai, but I doubt she'll be very well versed in this type of situation.” He complied.
“Well could we at least go ask her if she knows anyone?” Desota pursued.
Kurama huffed out a sigh and hung his head then looked up at her through his red bangs with a sour look, “You're not going to back down with this are you?”
“Not a chance.” She smiled brightly as she tried to cover up the small flutter her heart made when he looked at her like that. She couldn't help it, he was good looking…. But as far as she knew, that was where any feeling like that ended. He was a charmer and probably had his sights on someone already. Especially with the look in his eye every time it rained and he stared off into space. That was a look every girl knew on instinct: he was love struck. And although it slightly put a damper to her feelings since she had developed a small crush on him, she didn't intend on acting on any feelings such as that especially when he seemed happy as is.
“Fine. I'll tell mother we're going to Genkai's today and we'll return tomorrow morning.” Kurama caved.
Desota didn't expect for him to cave so easily, but she wasn't complaining, `Desota-1, Overbearing friend-0' she mentally cheered as he sat up from where he had sat on the edge of her mattress.
“Get dressed and I'll take care of your tray and tell mother. Then we'll leave.” Kurama said as he took the empty tray, smiling as she gently took the glass cup vase that held the rose in it and put it on the dresser beside her alarm clock and lamp along with the novel he had recommended to her for her English class she'd go to when Monday came around the next week. She was going to school with him until her pregnancy was showing too much. Shiori really wanted the girl to at least get some kind of education since her life had yet to allow such a luxury.
//Luxury?// Yoko snorted as Kurama closed the door when he stepped into the hallway and made his way to his mother's room //Most of it is a waste of time in my book. They just repeat the same lessons over and over so it gets edged into your brain or drive you mad in the process so you can pass those `exams' the hand out. Even then however, very few of the student population make good grades on them.//
`And you?' Kurama prodded.
//All I need is one session of the lesson and I get it. Half the time at school is a waste.// Yoko prided himself in his ability to soak up knowledge quickly as it was given to him.
Desota rolled out of bed and went to her closet to pick out a baggy pair of black Capri pants and a dark blue tank top since it was getting a little warm outside. She slipped on her jell heeled dark colored tennis shoes and walked out of her room while brushing her hair with a hair band around her wrist she was going to use to put her hair into a ponytail when the telephone rang in the living room.
“I'll get it” she called as she answered the white cordless phone, “Hello, Minamino residence, may I ask who's calling?”
“Hey there Dessy!” came Yusuke's voice on the other line, “So you're up and at it already? Wow, how do ya feel?”
Desota smiled, “I'm doing fine Yusuke,”
“That's good to hear. You gave us all a heart attack back there. Especially Kurama..,” his voice trailed off.
Desota's brows knotted a little, “Excuse me?”
“What is it that you called me for, Yusuke?” Kurama cut in as he picked up the kitchen phone from where he was washing the dishes Desota had used.
“Hey there Kurama! I see you're up too!” Yusuke ignored the fox's request.
“You know I'm a morning person. Now what do you want?” Kurama didn't really trust Yusuke or Kuwabara near Desota just yet. They knew what was going on with her but they thought he should tell her anyways. Yusuke never missed a chance to make Kurama bristle up to cover himself when the topic was brought up. Kuwabara didn't agree with Kurama's choice, but respected his friends' wishes and tried to keep a tight lip about it. Hiei didn't care either way. Besides, Yumi would be pissed if he messed this up for Kurama.
“Kurama,” Desota sighed pleadingly.
“Nah, it's fine Dessy, he's just been edgy lately with ya since you died and all and now your alive. I doubt that'll dull either.” Yusuke chuckled, “Keiko wanted to know if you wanted her to go with you to your little baby Doc's visit.”
“ARGH! Did everyone know it was today besides me?!” Desota sighed in frustration.
“Just about.” Yusuke confirmed, “What, Kurama not tell you?”
“No, Yusuke, he decided it wasn't important enough to relay that to me until this morning.” Desota grounded out as she made her way over to the kitchen and leaned on the door frame of it to glare half-heartedly at Kurama who shrugged.
“Would you have gotten up today if you knew it was today?” Kurama retorted.
“Never.” Desota answered with a snort.
“Then I rest my case.”
Yusuke barked with laughter, “Well it really seems you two are doing just fine. So if you aren't going to the doctors then what's up?”
“We're going to Genkai's today to see if she or someone she knows with knowledge of demons can do it instead. I don't plan on accidentally causing chaos in this world because a pregnancy doctor has found out their patient isn't all human and neither is her child.” Desota replied, regardless of Kurama's attempts to tell her to not say anything with hand signals.
“You're going to the hags? Hey, cool! Keiko and I'll go with ya! It's been awhile since we've all got together, and I'm sure Kuwabara will wanna go since Hiei and Yumi are there with Yukina.” Yusuke offered.
Once again Kurama did the `cut off' signal to Desota who ignored him with a smile, “Sure Yusuke! That sounds great!” she said brightly and Kurama nearly dropped dead. Yusuke was doing this on purpose and he knew it!
“What time ya planning on leaving?”
“Soon as we get ready, which is now.” Desota answered.
“Kay, Keiko and I'll grab Kuwabara on our way and meet you at the station.” Yusuke said.
“See ya there.” Desota hung up the phone with a push of the button and nearly jumped back at the displeased look Kurama gave her as he dried his hands.
“What?” Desota asked innocently.
“I thought you didn't want anyone to know.”
“Yeah, well everyone already knew so why don't they come with? We're just going to Genkai's for advice anyways.” Desota replied unfazed as she went to go put the phone back in its holder.
“You know how Yusuke and Kuwabara can be! Why'd you invite them to come with us? They could accidentally bump into you and hurt the baby!” Kurama excused.
“Yeah, and some man on the street is going to run by us, grab me and take me away to torture me.” She joked.
“That's not funny and you know it.” He kept a straight face while she smiled at his expanse.
//You're doing SO well with the dominance in the arguments thing.// Yoko chuckled sarcastically.
“Look, Kurama, I'm only just 3 weeks pregnant and going for my first pregnancy check up to make sure nothing in my body is rejecting the sudden change with new life in there.” She patted her stomach for emphasis, “It's not like Yusuke and Kuwabara are going to go rolling around rough housing to that extreme while were out. I'm still fine and the baby will be safe it I get `bumped' on accident.” She reassured him as she walked back to the kitchen door way where he now stood looking down at her slightly over annoyed that she was being so difficult.
She put a hand on his should to help calm him down, “I'm fine so long as you're there, Kurama. Do you really have such small faith in yourself to protect a mere little pregnant girl?”
//I hear Black Mail// Yoko said in a sing song voice.
“You're not just a `Mere pregnant girl', Desota. You're more than that.” She would probably never know just how much he meant that as he wrapped an arm around her back to hug her to him. Everything just seemed to not matter as he was allowed to hold her even for a little while. His agitation melted away and the frustration Yusuke insisted on hailing him with didn't matter anymore. His mind was clear once more and he was once again amazed that even now with all that's happened, she unknowingly had his heart in the palm of her hand.
Desota blushed when his other arm wrapped around her as he embraced her more fully and rested his chin on the top of her head. He was noticeable more touchy feely after she was revitalized by Hakkuto, but she didn't blame him. The others said he was really the most worried out of them all and that meant he certainly cared for her a lot.
“Kisha Nabora?” Kyo mewed at their feet.
Desota pulled away, much to Kurama's disappointment, and bent down to pick up Kyo to hold him an arms length away from her like a cat, “What, I suppose you want to go too?”
“Hai!” Kyo nodded with a wag of his tail.
Desota looked back at Kurama as if asking permission this time. Kurama nodded his consent.
“Shiori's fiancée should be here to take her wedding shopping so Kyo can come with us.” He confirmed out loud.
“Speaking of which,” Desota looked over her shoulder to see if the older woman was anywhere in sight, “I thought you said you were going to wake her up?”
“I did.” Kurama said as he walked past her to lead her to the door.
“So where is she?”
“I said I woke her up. I never said she stayed up when I left her alone.” Kurama smirked.
“Playing favorites now, are we? Why'd she get to sleep but I gotta get up?” Desota teased with a smile.
“Because I cant very well scold my own mother.” Kurama retorted as he locked the apartment door behind her and looked down at her in a mockingly sizing up way, “And you're just a push over.”
“Push over!” Desota echoed, “Oh it's on now fox boy! Just wait till I get you back for that one.”
// `I look forward to it' // both Yoko and Kurama thought in unison as they followed the fuming half demon in her human guise down the hallway to the train station.

Desota stared in disbelief at the long stone stairway that led to Genkai's house, “This is Genkai's Temple?” She eeped.
“Nani??” Kyo squeaked as his bright orange eyes bulged at the mere size of them.
“Oh yeah, I forgot it's your first time here.” Yusuke mused, “Yep, this is granny's home and grave.”
“Have you ever been near a temple before, Desota?” Keiko asked as they approached the stone stairway.
Desota turned to the human girl with a nod, “My mother was a shrine maiden. I was born in the family shine before it was utterly destroyed beyond repair when the demons followed Kyo and me from my fathers' estate in the demon realm.” She explained.
Keiko winced. She didn't mean to hit that kind of nerve. She had been with everyone else when the half demoness retold her story in the beginning. The brunette girl sent an apologetic look over to her friend.
“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to,”
“It's no big deal.” Desota brushed it off. Kurama was keeping her in sight to gage her reaction to something that he knew really was a big deal to her, “It happened when I was still really little. So I've had plenty of time to cope and accept it. I'd be too lucky for my own good if I had too easy of a life ya know.” She laughed.
Keiko offered a small smile but she was still concerned. She'd nearly forced Yusuke to take her to Desota when she heard what happened. When she saw Desota sleeping in Kurama's bed before she woke up from her `death' she'd seen the way Kurama held on to her with an almost death-like grip as she was curled onto his lap. She couldn't believe something or someone had actually deleted her memory of her love for Kurama and now only saw him as a good friend. She only hoped that if the fox hanyou could fall for Kurama once, she could do it again.
Then there was the whole `Kurama not telling her of their history together even though she's pregnant with his child.' Why wasn't he telling her? Wouldn't that help her see that she should love him like she had before?... `No. that sounds too selfish. She'll know when Kurama's ready for her to hear it from him' Keiko thought.
“Yeah, I know it looks really steep from here, but you get used to it.” Yusuke laughed when he saw Desota's not amused expression, “what? If you're really that bothered by it, I'm sure Kuwabara or Kurama would be glad to carry you up there. With the baby and all….,” he trailed off looking down at her stomach for emphasis.
“It's only been 2 weeks and already all of you are acting worse than a flock of mother hens around me.” Desota sighed, “If they're this bad when I'm not even showing much signs of the baby, I cant imagine what 5 moths is going to be like…..” she mumbled.
This was going to be a bumpy ride if what she thought was true.
“I was just saying..,” Yusuke defended.
“Yusuke…. If only you'd learn when and when not to speak.” Keiko sighed as she started up the stairs putting an arm around Desota's back to help her up if needed. Kurama walked on her other side while Kuwabara and Yusuke decided to walk ahead of them.
“It's fine, really Keiko. You don't need to lead me up a few stairs.” Desota insisted she could do this herself.
Keiko let her be in obligation, “You're sure?”
“If I said scouts honor would you believe me?” Desota joked.
“I didn't know you were a scout.” Kuwabara said as he looked back at her.
“Never said I was.” Desota shrugged.
All five of them laughed.
“But seriously, Dessy, we can slow down if you're,” Yusuke started.
“Thank you Yusuke but I can do anything you can do. The only difference is that I have a small body growing in me.” Desota giggled up at him.
“Isn't that the whole cause for concern?” Kurama couldn't help but knock her off her high horse.
“Argh, if it really bothers you all I can ride Kyo up the stairs.” She caved.
At the smiles she received, Desota knew she was expected to hold to what she said.
She looked to her shoulder where the faithful little chibbi animal rested, waiting for her to give the word.
“Kyo, will you please help me appease these reincarnated mother hens?” she sighed.
“Hai!” he squealed and leaped down from her shoulder to transform into his larger form before his hooves even touched the ground. He even bowed so he could lower his back for her to mount easier.
Desota wasn't used to being pampered so this was all a little awkward to her. Who ever heard of any one getting so worked up over a pregnant half demon….. `Was there ever a case that a half demon got pregnant?'
She guessed not. So she considered herself lucky to live the life she was granted a second chance at as Kyo started to carry her up the steps again, picking up the flank of the small group.
Desota caught Kurama looking back to probably `check on her' again and she scowled at him, knowing she wasn't really angry, “Happy now?”
“So glad you saw the light in you stubbornness.” Kurama smiled back and turned around before she could retort.
`OOOO! The nerve of that guy sometimes!' Desota inwardly seethed.
A flash of dark blue and light grey caught her eye from deep with in the forest and she quickly looked off to her left curiously, thinking it was Hiei.
`Wait…Hiei doesn't wear blue or grey…. He wears black.' She reminded herself.
Now she let down her human guise to better use her senses as her large red ears stood erect on her head to try and catch any type of sound. She could catch the faint scent of something K-9, but other than that…. Nothing.
She was so focused on that, that she didn't realize Kyo had picked up on her alerttive behavior and stopped to try and see what she had obviously spied. Making them lag behind the others.
“Kyoma shita?” he bellowed lowly up to her.
“I don't know what I saw…,” Desota answered, taking one final sniff in the air only to get nothing, “must be some sort of dog.”
“Hey you two! You tired already?” Yusuke called from the top of the stairs.
Kyo and Desota were only half way up.
“Huh? Oh right!” Desota came back to the matter at hand and urged Kyo to hurry up.
Not wanting to shake her up do to the uneven ground the stairs made, Kyo tried to gallop as smoothly as possible as he quickly caught up.
“Why'd you stop down there anyways?” Kuwabara asked as Desota slid off Kyo's back with Kurama's help, “you let down your guise and everything like you were looking for something.”
“Oh that?” Desota looked back down to the spot she'd been just before and had seen that… dog?
“I saw something running in the woods and found out it was only some kind of light grey dog.” She replied.
“Light grey dog? You mean a wolf?” Yusuke asked.
“Wolves don't live here you idiot!” Kuwabara smacked him upside the head.
“How do you know?! I don't recall you ever being an environmentalist!” Yusuke retorted with a smack of his own which led to the two boys rolling around in another wrestle fight.
“Why am I not surprised..,” Keiko dead panned.
“Is that Yusuke and Kuwabara I hear?” everyone looked up to see the wolf demoness Yumi as she leaned against a temple pillar in a long dark green and black lined Kimono that matched her eyes. No one had seen her nor Hiei for the past 2 weeks right after they had returned from their fight with Sensui. Her stomach looked a little swollen…. Had she gained weight??
“Yumi” Desota called as she rushed up the shines wooden porch steps to hug her friend who hugged her back, “It's so good to see… you?” Desota couldn't hug the wolf very well since her swollen stomach was sticking out just enough to get in the way.
“Wondering what that could be?” Yumi smirked at the confused expression on the younger demon's face.
Desota nodded as she stepped back when Kurama and Keiko caught up with her. Kyo sat on Kurama's shoulder in his smaller form now and Kuwabara and Yusuke were still going out.
Yumi put a hand on her stomach with a smile, “They're the twins, Taku and Haru.” She announced.
“YOU'RE PREGNANT TOO?!” Yusuke and Kuwabara stopped all movement for a moment.
“How come you're so big already?” Kuwabara asked, “Desota doesn't even show any signs of hers yet, but you look like your well off,”
“For one, I was impregnated before her, for two, I have twins while she's got only one, and for three, I'm full wolf demon so my pregnancy period is only 5 months and I'm already past my first one.” Yumi explained while she tacked off each reason with a finger.
“Oh my fucking god!” Yusuke shoved Kuwabara off him while Kuwabara yelped and flew into the small pond in the courtyard, “Hiei's having kids! I didn't even know he was allowed to reproduce with the way he acts!”
“I'll pretend I didn't hear that, Yusuke, but repeat anything like it and I'll have your tongue as my pups' first meal.” Hiei threatened as he walked out of the training hall and approached his mates' side.
“Oh hi Hiei” Yusuke replied with a wave.
“Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing shoving me into the pond like that you fucking jerk!” Kuwabara stood up in the water soaked to the bone in his blue uniform, “Now I gotta get a new Uniform! Shizuru'll kill me!”
“Oh cry me a river and float a boat down it.” Yusuke blew him off as he stood up to join the others, leaving Kuwabara to fend for himself.
“What brings you to the temple?” Yumi asked.
“Actually I need to talk to Genkai about a doctor…” Desota started to blush.
“Hm? You mean a doctor for your pregnancy?” Yumi specified.
Desota nodded.
“She refuses to go to the human hospital.” Kurama explained, “She's afraid they'll somehow find out she's not all human.'
“Desota, its fine to go there this early in your pregnancy. So long as you keep your human guise up and as long as you carry your child in your womb, they'll never know your demon even if they take a blood sample. Just don't give birth there.” Yumi told her.
“Well what about you?” Desota asked, “Who do you go see?”
“Me? Well, no one.” Yumi admitted, “I've never had to go. Wolf demons tend to do fine the natural way.”
“Lucky little flea bag” Desota mumbled.
Yumi laughed out loud when she heard Desota curse her, “I agree with Kurama wholly that you'd be fine in any normal hospital, but if you insist, we can see what Genkai says about this, but she herself can't do it.”
Desota seemed crestfallen that no one she knew personally could do this, but took what ever advice Yumi had to give none the less.
“I'll go get Genkai” Yukina said, making her presence known from the other side of the yard where she held a bushel of flowers in her hand. Hand picked daisies to be exact.

“You want me to tell you anyone who's good at this sort of thing?” Genkai asked as Desota told the old woman her concerns.
She sat on her heels on a fluffy red cushion across form Genkai who sat on an identical cushion in the same fashion with tea in her hand as Genkai listened to the hanyou's questions.
“Yes, I was hoping that you'd actually be the one to help me out, but Yumi already said you're not very well versed with this type thing.” Desota confirmed.
Kurama and the others sat against the wall and stayed silent while the two of them talked.
“Yumi was right when she said that. I have no idea how to deal with birthing babies besides a very limited knowledge, but I'd rather let a professional take care of you.” Genkai confirmed as she thought it over, “I'm a fighter, so I don't really know anyone who has that type of skill, but there is one person I know who could do this.”
“Who?” Desota leaned forward eagerly.
“He resides in the Demon realm now however, but I think with his power he can come to these grounds periodically for your sake.” Genkai said, “His name is Hakkuto of the Lunar clan.”
“Hakkuto?!” Yusuke and Desota repeated shocked.
“You know Hakkuto?” Genkai was surprised, “I was under the impression that he no longer likes to reveal himself but to good friends.”
“He was a good friend of Ryu's when he was alive and he revived my spirit and body from the grave from Ryu's last requests as he says it.” Desota explained.
Genkai nodded, “Ah, I see. Well in that case, I'm sure the old pony will be happy to make a few visits here for you if he already helped you once.” The older woman said getting up, “It is late, are you planning on staying the night?”
“We would like to.” Desota replied.
“Very well,” she turned to Yusuke and Kuwabara, “Dimwit, Dog face, go prepare 2 rooms. One for you boys and one for Desota and Keiko.” She ordered.
“What! Who do you think we are your lackeys?!” Yusuke barked.
“I meant NOW not in the after life!” she snapped and smiled evilly as the 2 boys begrudgingly complied with her order.

“Did you find her?” a male voice asked as a familiar silver gray fox eared and tailed demon approached wearing dark blur ninja like robes.
“Yes, Master. We have found the hanyou at last. She is with others, and I gather that Sensui is indeed dead as well as the dragon. They intend to bring Lord Hakkuto out from demon realm to help her pregnancy.”
“She is pregnant?” the voice was surprised. Light blue eyes were wide, “Who is the beast that has impaled her in such a manner! She is not mated!” he sounded angry.
“My lord, I am not fully certain, but from what my men have uncovered from watching her and the people around her, we believe the red head, Kurama, is the father, but she doesn't know.”
“How can she not know it was him?!” The young man threw his hands up in the air frustrated, “It takes two to tango and I doubt that fox did that to her while she was unconscious! We don't do the unwilling!”
“But sir, everyone's willing.” Came another voice, this one was more flat and rat like, “You know with Kitsune seduction and all.”
“Shut up Shina” the one with blue eyes snapped, “honestly, I can't wait till your voice breaks with maturity.”
“Sir, if I may..,” the ninja Kitsune pressed on.
“Yes, yes. Tell me what you know”
The ninja relayed the story and condition the hanyou was in to the lord Kitsune who put his head in his hand.
“Dear go, how much more trouble can she cause?” he groaned.
“What shall we do?”
“You said that some one named Kurama is with her?”
“Yes Sir,”
“Then Yomi will bring her to demon world for us.” The blue eyed one said, “If we go after her now, we could be killed since we must wear these ridiculous things to keep our aura to d class level. I tire of this realm and wish to go back home.”
“Is it wise to let Yomi get involved with her? Or even Kurama for that matter? Isn't he the legendary Yoko Kurama?”
“Yes, it is a bit hazardous, but Yomi isn't a fool to harm her, least he wants to tip our anger and start a war. Raizen and Mukuro will not tolerate us if we force Yomi to fight on their lands. Yomi isn't stupid so he will not do anything we tell him not to.”
“Your arrogance is something to be admired.” The ninja Kitsune deadpanned.
“Hold your tongue when talking to your lord!” blue eyes flashed dangerously.
“Yes sir.”
“Go to Yomi and tell him what we promised to relay to him. He gave us a way of coming here, now we must tell him how his little friend is doing.” The lord ordered,
“Yes Sire.” The ninja bowed, “And what about the girl? She seems very close to him still.”
“Go on and tell Yomi. If that bastard thinks he can use her to get to Kurama, let him. His castle is very easy to break into even if he is a former thief. Try to even encourage him to take her to get Kurama to comply. For if Yomi has her imprisoned and we break her out, we'll win her favor.”
“Yes Sir Joseph” and with that the Ninja disappeared.

Since I did do this on Fanfiction.net it's only fair if I post sneak peaks for the sequel on this site. I don't plan on making the wait much longer for me to start posting the chapters.
The Hanyou II: All's Fair in Love and War ((sneak peeks))
Desota nodded, “This is much different from what I'm used to. I was never this popular before” she only partially lied this time. Being hanyou and all….
“Really?” Reina nodded her thanks to the lunch lady as she took her food from over the hot tables and started to lead `Kurama' to her usual area to eat lunch with her friends, “You sure don't show it. Plus, you're sooooo lucky that your host family happens to be the Minamino's! Prince Suichi is a keeper if you ever happen to catch his eye.” She nudged Desota with a wink, “the Prince already seems quite taken with you, too. Is there something I should know?”
“Kn-Know??” Desota's aqua blue eyes snapped back to the girl in surprise, “There's nothing to- AH!” She eeped in surprise when she tripped over something and fell on the floor. Guilty giggles came from the table they were passing and Desota turned over to see a particularly snide looking girl with her hand to her mouth as she giggled with an evil gleam in her eye.
“Kurama! Are you okay?” Reina set her stuff on the ground and offered to help Desota up.
“You're not much to look at are you?” the girl who was the perpetrator of Desota's “accidental” trip oozed out with all innocents.

Kurama turned quickly when he noticed the spike in the strangers Ki for only a moment before the demon vanished from sight, but his presence was still near. Kurama searched with his green orbs as he reached for his rose whip, but a clawed hand stopped him as it caught his wrist from behind, shocking the red head to new heights.
“Think twice before killing a messenger. We hold important information you know.” Sensing the teen wasn't going to attack him just yet since his point was made, the demon let go of him and stood back as the green eyed man turned to face him with narrowed, suspicious eyes, “Plus, it's down right rude.” He added as an after thought as he took in this `Kitsunes' presence.
`That's him?' the demon thought with a flick of annoyance from his black ears, `That twig is Yoko Kurama? What's next? Nanari's true form really is a BUNNY instead of a nine tail?'
“What kind of message do you deliver?” Kurama demanded.
“A spirit Orb from my lords rival, Yomi.” The Kitsune replied.
“Rival?”
“I intercepted it at my lord's command” the black Kitsune demon smirked as his silver eyes flashed with a devious look that reminded Kurama all too much of Yoko.

“I CANT BREATHE YOU IDIOT!” Yumi was now getting hysterical. She was nearly scared to death and her mate wasn't here to comfort her. Even if Yukina petting her fur helped a little, Yumi still needed Hiei.
“Where is he?” she gritted out through her clenched fangs.
Outside the Dojo, Hiei was scared to death himself. He was frozen in the tree line as his ruby eyes stared unblinking at the silhouettes of his mate, Hakkuto, his sister, and Genkai while Yumi was giving birth.
What was he suppose to do?! He'd never been around a birthing mother, let alone one in labor! He wanted to help her, but his joints were locked firmly in shock and confusion in what to do. Her pain made him want to kill what ever was causing it, but he couldn't do that this time. She was having their children! There literally was nothing he could do for her to help ease her though this.
“Damn it!” he cursed under his breath when he cringed at the loud howl of pain come from Yumi again.
A sudden WHOOSH of the wind near him made him jerk startled when the larger form of Kyo stopped by his side with Kurama and Desota astride him. The large animal blinked confused orange eyes down at him.
“Matea, Nani Hige??” the zhorse mewled lowly.
“What are you doing out here, Hiei?” Desota was just as shocked as her spirit beast and unknowingly repeated what Kyo had said, only Hiei was able to understand her.
