Chapter 3

What? A baby!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Unbeknownst to anyone what the two demon lovers were doing and the life they were creating. Koenma just arrived at Genkai’s temple, very worried. The old woman met him at the door.

“What brings you here so late, Koenma?”

“I need to talk to you about a possible problem that could effect us all. I wanted to get your ideas on the subject, with no one else around.”

“Come in.” Genkai said, stepping to the side. After they were settled on the floor and had a cup of tea in front of them, Koenma got right to the point.

“Kurama and Hiei have gotten together.”

“Well, it was only a matter of time. They have had feelings for each other for a long time now. Anyone could see the strong connection between them. I wonder how long it will last.” Genkai commented with a approving nod.

“For good apparently, they have mated.” Koenma replied before taking a sip of tea.

“I did not see that coming. Are you sure?”

“Yes, Botan saw the bite marks herself. They showed them to her.”

“Who would have thought that those two demons would have mated. They are both notorious for their one night stands.” Genkai stated, shaking her head.

“So I hear.” Koenma replied dryly.

“I think it would be good for them two, they may settle down some now.”

“Maybe.”

“You sound as if you don’t trust them, even after all their help with missions, or you don’t like the match.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust them. In fact I believe I could trust them with my life, if need be. They are also a good match for each other. I am worried of what could come from their mating.”

“What do you mean?” Genkai asked concerned. “Do you not wish them happiness?”

“I wish them more happiness then anybody else, especially with what those two have been through. I am worried about, if they reproduce.” Koenma answered truthfully. “You know Hiei can conceive and carry a child, that’s why he is the forbidden one.”

“I think I understand your worry now. I doubt Hiei would ever do that, even for Kurama. It just would not be him.”

“That’s true, but what if they do have a child? The kid would be beyond forbidden. A cross between a fox spirit and a half fire, half ice demon, if that wasn’t enough, let’s throw a little human blood into the mix too. The kid would no doubt be powerful, it would pass it’s parents easily in that power. Let’s not forget to mention the child would most likely be able to conceive and carry a baby too, if it’s a boy. I fear we would have something far worse than a Mazaku running around in Ningenkai. What if the kid can’t be controlled?”

“That is what you are worrying about? You are jumping to conclusions, Koenma.” Genkai stated seriously. “If they reproduce and I’m not saying they will, because I seriously doubt Hiei would ever take that step. I’m saying if they do, they would be able to control the child, being it’s parents, no matter how strong it could get.”

“But what if they revert back to their old demon ways?” Koenma asked, still totally worried.

“They won’t! Those two demons have changed to much, even though they would never admit it. Kurama has his ningen mother here. He is very protective of her, you know that. The demon inside of him has learned to love and accept love in return, it‘s all thanks to that woman. This is something that would have never happened in his former life, if he had not been shot and taken refuge here in Ningenkai. As for Hiei, he has changed just as much. Not to long ago, he would have slain a ningen with not so much as a look back. Now, he works with ningens, to help protect Ningenkai from other demons. He even lives here, though he could go back to the Makai anytime he wanted. If what you say is true about those two, then he has learned to show his feelings as well, even if it is only to Kurama. You told me about the fight with Yomi. You said, Kurama had taken a blade meant for Hiei without even trying to defend himself and using his life energy to even move. Then Hiei gave what was left of his energy to save him.”

“That’s true, I saw everything on my screen.” Koenma nodded.

“Then that alone should be proof enough for you, they have changed. They would have never done that for anybody in the past, not even each other. Those two demons have a vast love for each other, that too few in the Makai experience. Who are you to try and stand in their way?” Genkai asked, drinking the last of her tea.

“I don’t want to stand in their way. It’s just, if they have a child.”

“If they have a child and that’s an impossible if. They will raise it to the values they now have. They would not let the child run wild or become evil. I would even go as far as betting the child would be the sweetest and kindest demon ever, and probably completely spoiled. I seriously doubt though, they would ever take that step. I honestly can‘t see Kurama and Hiei caring for a child.” Genkai stated, very calm and serious.

“I hope you’re right.” Koenma answered. He knew the demons had changed a lot, he just hoped they had changed enough. The talk with Genkai had helped a lot. A beeping noise distracted him from his thoughts. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a communicator. Flipping it open, Botan’s face instantly appeared on the small screen.

“What is it, Botan?”

“Koenma, we have a big problem. You have to get back here now!”

“What’s wrong?”

“You just got to get here! You have got to see this for yourself!” Botan stressed.

“I’ll be right there.” Koenma said, getting up and turning off the communicator. He turned to Genkai. “Thanks for the talk, it has helped. I got to go!” He opened a portal and jumped into it with it closing immediately behind him.

Genkai sat there a few moments, hoping she was right about everything and wondering what was so wrong.

Hiei awoke from a satisfied sleep, quickly noticing it was morning. He stretched, feeling the strong arms of his mate tighten around him. He also noticed, with that small movement, the painful burn in his rear. Him and his fox had made love three times over the night. They were making up for the two weeks apart. Hiei turned over and laid his head against Kurama’s chest, slipping his arms around his mate’s slender waist. The fox’s eyes slid open, having woken up from the movement against him. The fire demon leaned forward, kissing the soft lips before him.

“How are you, Koi?” Kurama asked when they parted.

“Very sore.” Hiei admitted truthfully. “But it will fade.”

“Yes, it will. With your demon energy and healing, it should be gone by afternoon.”

“Do you feel like cooking, fox?” Hiei asked hopefully.

“Yes. Are you hungry?” Kurama asked with a knowing smile. Demons usually started showing signs of pregnancy, incredibly soon after the conception. The typical signs was that of being exceedingly hungry, now that the demon was eating for two, and the slight drop in their energy, since the child was using that to survive on. The fox quickly scanned his Hiei’s energy and found what he was looking for, the slight drop in power. It seems all their love making paid off, his fire demon was pregnant. Hiei noticed the fox’s distant look and smiled. He leaned forward quickly and kissed his mate, startling him out of his thoughts. When they parted, Hiei spoke softly with an equally soft smile.

“You feel it too, fox?”

“Yes, the drop in your energy.”

“Hn. That explains why I’m starved and craving cinnamon rolls!”

“Our baby is already making itself known?” Kurama laughed gently.

“So it seems.” Hiei nodded sitting up. He put his hands on his stomach. Kurama sat up and his hands quickly found their way to the fire demon’s stomach too. They sat like that a few moments before Hiei spoke again. “The kid is going to be very demanding.”

“Yes just like you.” Kurama teased, his hands leaving the flat stomach. He reached up and pulled his lover into a possessive kiss. Hiei allowed, and responded to the kiss. It was true, he now completely belonged to his fox. Kurama slowly pulled away and got up from the bed. He went into the closet and came out only seconds later. He threw Hiei his pants before pulling on his own. “I’ll go make breakfast, I am hungry too. After that, we will take a shower.”

“Hn.” Hiei grunted, getting up. Kurama left the room and headed straight for the kitchen. The fire demon came in a short while later to see if he could help. The fox had just put the rolls into the oven, when they heard a knock on the front door. Kurama went to get it, leaving Hiei in the kitchen watching the clock. The fox opened the door to find Botan standing there with what appeared to be a dirty blanket, wadded up.

“Kurama, I am so sorry to be disturbing you so early in the morning, but none of us in spirit world know what to do!!” Botan almost shouted.

“Come in.” Kurama offered, moving to the side worried. Botan entered quickly and the fox closed the door behind her. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m really sorry to bother you two.” Botan apologized again, noticing Hiei coming from the kitchen. She chose to ignore that fact that they were both shirtless and still had bed hair.

“Don’t worry about it, Botan. Tell us what is wrong.” Kurama urged getting more worried with each passing second. Botan let out a breath, looking between the two demons. She then looked down and opened the blanket some that she carried. Kurama’s mouth fell open and Hiei’s eyes widened not believing what they were seeing.

“Why do you have a baby, Botan?” Kurama asked, stepping closer for a better look.

“It’s a demon baby. He was found yesterday.”

“Why bring it here?” Hiei asked, still stunned.

“We don’t know what to do with him. He has been crying nonstop for hours. He finally cried himself to sleep on the way here. He will not eat and we have tried everything, he just keeps screaming.” Botan answered, trying not to wake the baby.

“He looks to be about six or so months old.” Kurama said, carefully taking the child from her. He pulled the blanket completely open, looking him over. “It’s a fox kit! But something is not quite right about his ears.”

“That’s what Koenma thought too.” Botan replied, watching the redhead.

“Or his tail.” Kurama said after turning the child into his chest, so he could get a good look. A sudden smell assaulted his nose. A smell he hasn’t smelled in a long time. That of the fox demons’ mortal enemies. Kurama looked up with shock clearly written on his face.

“What is it, Kurama?” Hiei asked, noticing his lover’s face.

“He is only part fox demon. He is part wolf demon too.” Kurama answered, noticing the child stirring

“WHAT?!!” Botan exclaimed. “I thought the two races were mortal enemies.”

“They are mortal enemies, but that does not explain the kid.” Hiei said, moving closer to his fox to peer at the child. The kit had rich brown hair on it’s head, ears and tail, but what set it off was the white streaks through it. “Can you tell which demon was the mother, fox?”

“I believe the wolf demon was the mother.” Kurama answered, watching the little lids open to reveal beautiful eyes, one brown and one blue. “The wolf was definitely the mother and judging from the baby’s appearance she was a white wolf.”

“But…” Botan never got to finish as a shrill cry filled the room, forcing her to cover her ears. Hiei winced and the fox was wondering how such a cry come from something so little.

“When is the last time he ate?” Kurama asked loudly, watching the little hands flay around.

“We don’t know! We tried feeding him, but he wouldn’t take anything. He hasn’t ate since last night at least.” Botan answered, watching the child turn into the redhead’s bare chest.

“Then he’s……...” Kurama started, but ended with a very startled sound. Botan’s and Hiei’s mouths hung open in shock. The kit had successfully latched itself to the fox’s chest and was sucking away. Kurama pulled the hungry mouth away from his already sore nipple, with a glare at the other two, daring them to say anything. “As I was saying, I believe he’s still on the breast.”

“I think you may be right.” Botan replied, trying to keep a straight face.

“If he is, that’s why he will not eat anything else.”

“But I thought female demons stopped nursing at about his age, and then the child is fed food from there.”

“That usually depends on the female demon. I’ve know some foxes that nursed until the kit was two or three years old.” Kurama commented before the child started wailing again.

“Then what do we do?” Botan asked loudly.

“The trick is to get the milk to taste like demon breast milk. Here, I’ll go fix some!” Kurama answered, pushing the kit into Hiei’s arms.

“I don’t…” Hiei started, holding the baby away from him. He quickly turned to his fox, who was already across the room.

“Hey! How do you know what demon breast milk taste like?”

“I have tasted it a few times in my former life.” Kurama said simply, walking on into the kitchen. He came back out holding an empty plastic jug. “You drank all the milk Hiei!”

“I was thirsty!” Hiei defended himself, quickly.

“It was over a half gallon of milk!”

“So?! I told you I was starved!!”

“I have to go to the store down the street now. I’ll be back in about fifteen minutes.” Kurama said, sitting the jug on the counter inside the kitchen door before going towards the bedroom. He pulled on a shirt and grabbed his wallet, stuffing it into his back pocket. He quickly ran a brush through his hair to make himself somewhat presentable to be in public. The fox really wanted a bath, but there was just no time right now. He walked back out to find Hiei with an serious eye twitch, holding the kit out to Botan, who was vigorously shaking her head no. Kurama walked up to the fire demon and gently pushed the baby against his lover’s chest.

“Hold him close, Hiei. It might calm him down.”

“I don’t want to hold the brat!” Hiei growled. Kurama just shook his head walking towards the door. He looked over his shoulder as he stopped in the doorway with a teasing smile on his face.

“Get used to it, I’m not going to be doing all the work. Do not forget to watch him, he may try to nurse again. Oh wait, you have to get used to that too.”

With that the fox was gone before the fire demon could even think to reply. Hiei stood in the middle of the room with the worst eye twitch he had ever had, a screaming kit against his chest, and a very confused Botan staring at him after Kurama’s last comment.
