The Terrible Two Chapter Three: Bakudan

"Are you done?" Hiei asked Kurama. Hiei had been asking that about every five seconds, ever since Kurama had said they would go to Makai that day, because he was almost done with his work. So, Hiei thought that that meant that he would be done in a few seconds.

"No, Hiei. I answered that question ten seconds ago."

"You could have been done now! I needed to make sure!" Hiei was mad…

"I already told you that I would tell you when I was done!" Now Kurama was mad! Why didn't Hiei realize that the more he asked that, the longer it would take?!

"Hn." Hiei jumped out of the open window, and Kurama went back to his work.

Hiei will be back. I know he will… We have had arguments like this before.

Baka Kitsune! Why can't he just ignore his Ningen work for a day? Hiei kept jumping from tree to tree… Just one day? To… Be with me? Not once… He loves his work more than me! When he finally finishes that damn stuff, I will talk to him. Hiei then stopped right in his tracks, and immediately turned back to the house. He ran back, and got there like four seconds later. He opened the door. Kurama heard him, and smiled. He knew he would be back. Hiei burst into the room where Kurama was working (which was their bedroom), and picked up the sleeping Kurosuke off of the bed, and jumped out the window again.

Hiei loves that cat more than me! When he finally gets out of his mood, I will talk to him… Kurama looked at his work. He didn't enjoy it, not at all. He needed to work, or his stepfather might get mad. His stepfather had offered him a job, but he had fallen behind. He did not want to get fired, and he knew his stepfather would fire him if he didn't do his work well. His stepfather was very kind, but also very strict. The fact Kurama lived with another man didn't help much, either. Kurama felt like he would cry… He was very flustered. He covered his face with his hands. Hiei watched him from the outside.

I wonder what he is thinking… Hiei thought. Kurama didn't move from his sad position, and Hiei began to feel bad. He jumped back through the window, set Kurosuke down, and then walked over to Kurama. He tapped his back. "You are almost done, keep going." Hiei said. Kurama looked at him, and smiled. Hiei glanced at him. Kurama then stood up, and hugged Hiei.

"Thank you so much, my Hiei…" Kurama said. Hiei purred. After stroking his hair a while, Kurama sat back down, and began to work, faster than before. He wanted Hiei to be happy, so he did have to take him to Makai. Hiei lie on the bed, playing with Kurosuke. After a while, Kurosuke got tired, and Hiei got bored. He wanted to hurry Kurama again, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"I am done!" Kurama shouted happily, and he put his paper work in a stack. Hiei jumped out of the bed.

"We can go now?" Hiei asked hopefully.

"Yes, Hiei." Kurama took Hiei's hand, and Hiei transported them to Makai with his Jagan.

"It's been a while." Hiei said. "The last time I was here, I was telling Mukuro that I quit, and that she had done all that she could for me." Kurama frowned. He knew Mukuro must be… Cool, if Hiei liked her, but he could not help but feel a little jealous. He shouldn't feel that way, though. He should feel more sorry for her than anything. She had, no doubt, fallen in love with Hiei, and he had left her to be with him.

"Would you like to visit her?" Kurama asked.

"Hn. Let's go get the demon first, and I may go. You're the one who wants to go, Kurama." Hiei said. He was in fact, correct! Kurama wanted to say that he was sorry.

"Hiei, you are to smart." They began to walk around Makai. "So, what exactly are we looking for?"

"There is a place in Makai where some demon children go. The will either die, or some demon will take them. That doesn't happen very often. I had to go here a few times during the time I spent being one of Mukuro's generals."

"All right, well, I don't know where to go, so you will have to take me." Kurama said.

"I figured." Hiei said, and he turned to the direction they should go.

"How long will this take, exactly?" Kurama asked.

"About a day." Hiei replied, and he looked back at Kurama. That had better be ok…

"Is there any way we could get there faster?" Kurama asked.

"A day isn't that long, Kurama." Hiei said, he was now very angry. He had waited a whole week to go here, and now a day was to long?! "Kurama, I waited for a whole week. If you can't be away from your precious work for one day to be with me, then I am done even looking at you." Hiei spat. Kurama gulped.

"Ok, Hiei… It's all right…" Kurama said. Hiei started walking, and Kurama followed him, very silently. Tears were coming down his cheeks, but Hiei didn't notice. I don't love those papers! I hate them, but I would rather do them than starve to death! Of course, Makai was always an option… But he could not just leave his mother…

The hours passed. Hiei finally looked back at Kurama, who was still silently crying. Hiei stopped walking. "How long have you been…" Hiei looked at the ground. He knew how long. But, this time he could not feel bad. He had waited a week for him to get those papers done, and now Kurama wouldn't have even one day with him. The one-day he would, he was crying and Hiei was pissed. This was pathetic! "Kurama… Let's just go, let's forget this pathetic fight." Hiei walked back to Kurama, and took his hand. Kurama gently smiled at Hiei.

"All right." They began to run. Telling each other funny stories about their lives before they met each other, and laughing together. Both of them felt extremely happy. Then, Kurama tripped. Hiei fell on top of him. They both blushed, and then began to laugh. Hiei got up, as did Kurama. They brushed themselves off, and then began to run again. "Hiei, what kind of demon are you planning to get?"

"Well…" Hiei slowed into a walk, and Kurama caught up with him. "A boy, no doubt. I don't understand girls."

"Do you wish you did?" Kurama asked.

"I have no need to. And I am not talking about that stupid expression male humans use. I won't know what they want or anything. It would be harder to raise." Hiei said out loud.

"Hiei, you are starting to act like a human!" Kurama said, pretending to be extremely shocked and surprised.

"WHAT?!" Hiei shouted. Kurama smiled and closed his eyes. He knew Hiei would do that.

"Hiei, I don't mind at all. That is the only way you are starting to act like one, I am glad you want to raise a child. You know, I have always wanted to." Kurama said.

I only am doing this because I want Yusuke to quit all the stuff he does to insult Kurama… I wish I had known Kurama wanted a child; I would have talked to him about it. Or, maybe not… I don't know what I would have done. Hiei thought to himself. They silently walked towards the place Hiei had said they were going.

"Hiei, I am starting to get thirsty…" Kurama said.

"Hn. We are almost at a stream, you may take your drink there." Hiei said. As it turned out, a stream came into view about five minutes later. Kurama smiled, and ran over to it. He kneeled down, and reached his head towards the ground, and began to drink like an animal would. "I thought you were human, Kurama."

"In this form." Kurama replied, water dripping from his chin.

"I know that, baka. I meant I didn't know you didn't act human in this form." Kurama giggled.

"It's easier to drink like this." Kurama began to lap up the water again. Hiei knelt down beside him, and began to do the same exact thing! Kurama started laughing.

"What's so funny?! Demons act like this, in case you have forgotten!" Hiei shouted.

"I have not forgotten, it's just kinda funny." Kurama then splashed his face with some water. "All right, we can continue now."

"Hn." Hiei splashed his face with water, and they continued walking. Just then, an extremely tall demon appeared in front of him. He had four ears: One on each side of his head where ears are supposed to be, but they were really long and pointy. The other two were on top of his head where dog-ears should be. His hair was a silver color, and went down a little farther than his shoulders. He has big eyes that were a shade of blue the color of the sky. He also had a fang sticking out of one side of his mouth (think Jin). He had a foxtail. He also had two scars on his right cheek, and one on the left. "Get out of the way." Hiei said.

"Hiei, I wouldn't…" Kurama said. Kurama began to back up.

"What's your problem, fox?" Hiei questioned.

"He is… A Nihome." Kurama said quietly.

"A what?" Hiei asked.

"Nihome. They are a certain type of youkai… They are extremely ruthless, and very evil."

"Aren't all demons?" Hiei said. Baka Kitsune, he really has forgotten Makai.

"Yes, but the Nihome are very strong. S class. At least, almost all of them are… And this one is really tall… He must be." Kurama said. The Nihome walked up to Kurama, and held out his hand. Razor sharp claws came out of his hand. There were bloodstains on all of them, every last one. He began to open his mouth, sharp fangs and teeth showing. "ROSE WHIP!" Kurama called, quickly pulling the rose out of his hair and turning it into a long plant colored whip with thorns. The Nihome backed up slightly, and closed his mouth. He also put his hand down. Hiei pulled out his katana.

"Kisama… I was hoping to have no distractions." Hiei said.

"If you take one step towards us, I will strike." Kurama said, getting ready to attack at any moment. All of a sudden, the Nihome burst into tears. Hiei and Kurama both got a sweatdrop. "Gomen…" Kurama said, slightly lowering his whip. Hiei didn't move. It could be a trap, but…

"I just wanted to say hi!" The Nihome wailed.

"Anything else?" Hiei said.

"Yeah!" The Nihome stopped crying. "Where are you going?" Hiei pointed in the direction they were headed. "Can I come?! I have been really bored! I was waiting for my brother Kimida to send me a map to get to him, but he hasn't yet! Please let me come with you, I will do anything!" The Nihome got on the ground and kneeled to Hiei.

"Kurama…" Hiei whispered, "What is it with this thing?"

"I don't know. I don't think it's dangerous, like the rest." Kurama whispered back. He then knelt down by the Nihome. "What is your name?" Kurama asked.

"Fushigi!" It answered.

"Fushigi?" Hiei said. The name did not suit him at all.

"Yes! And my brothers name is Kimida!" Fushigi said.

"Are you a Nihome?" Kurama asked.

"Yeah! What are you?" Fushigi asked.

"I am a Youko." Kurama said. Fushigi tilted his head to the side.

"A Youko? You don't look like one. And you smell human. But I like humans!" Fushigi said.

"I am happy!" Kurama said, and he smiled at Fushigi. "How old are you?"

"Umm… In human years, about 21." Fushigi replied.

"21?" Hiei asked. He felt like laughing. Not nicely, either. That was pathetic! This was really pathetic!

"You may come with us." Kurama said. Hiei looked at him.

"Wait one moment, Nihome." Hiei said, and he pulled Kurama by a nearby tree, leaving Fushigi yelling that his name was Fushigi, not Nihome, though he was one. "Kurama, I wanted to spend this time with you!"

"Yes, but I want to know some things about the Nihome. From what I have heard, they are really dangerous. I want to see if the rumors where misleading." Kurama said. Hiei frowned. Kurama could tell he was disappointed. He couldn't blame him; he had spent a whole week waiting. Now Kurama felt bad… But, now what could he say to the childlike Nihome? He could tell that if he said no, he would probably cry, and then Kurama would feel bad about that, too. There was just no right decision here. "I promise you, Hiei. I will take more breaks from work." Hiei then looked up at him.

"What?" Hiei said.

"I need to help raise this demon anyway, and I feel bad for making you upset all the time." If Hiei really felt what he said to me earlier, well, I don't want to loose him. I can't loose him. "Yes, Hiei. I will take a break more often." Kurama smiled down at Hiei.

"How much more often?" Hiei questioned, folding his arms.

"As often as you like, within reason." Kurama said.

"Everyday?" Hiei said.

"Within reason!"

"Just leave later and come home earlier everyday, and take one day off a week." Hiei said.

"I guess I can do that…" Kurama said, and he winked.

"NIHOME!" Hiei shouted at Fushigi, "GET OVER HERE BEFORE WE CHANGE OUR MINDS!"

"YAY!" Fushigi shouted, and he ran over to Hiei and Kurama. Hiei started walking, and Kurama and Fushigi followed. Fushigi was singing some song that Hiei and Kurama couldn't understand. Kurama could not get any information about the Nihome from Fushigi. About three hours later, they arrived at the place Hiei had said they were going. There was a bunch of trees, and a lot of little demons were in these trees. There were a lot of bones on the ground. "AAA!!!" Fushigi shouted, "IT'S A GRAVE YARD!"

"BAKA! This is Makai, of course there are bones." Hiei said.

"Sorry…" Fushigi said. Hiei, Kurama, and Fushigi walked into the forest like trees. All of the chibi youkai didn't say anything, and just looked up at the sky. Only one came up to them. He was a Nihome! (Four ears, fox tail, one fang). He had his hair tied back in a little ponytail, and his hair was gold. Sparkles and everything ^_^ His eyes were royal blue. He was crawling on all fours, and was the size of a small puppy.

"How old are you?" Kurama asked.

"Why should I tell a human?" The Nihome snarled.

"I am a demon using a human body." Kurama replied. The child Nihome began to walk away, his face flushed red. Kurama leaned down and grabbed his tail. The Nihome yelped as Kurama pulled him up by it.

"Ya know… That really does hurt…" Said Fushigi, wincing as he saw the little Nihome yelp.

"Baka." Hiei said, looking at the pathetic adult Nihome.

"Now tell me, do you know anything about the Nihome?" Kurama questioned.

"Duh!" The Nihome cried, "I AM ONE, YOU FOOL!"

"Do you have a name?" Kurama asked. The Nihome growled in response.

"Do you have a family?" Kurama asked.

"No."

"Do you want one?" Kurama asked. The Nihome growled. The growling must be something like Hiei's 'Hn'. "Hiei what do you think?"

"About what?" Hiei asked.

"This youkai." Kurama replied, smiling.

"It'll do, seeing that the others are not interested…" Hiei said, looking up at the half asleep demons above.

"How old are you?" Kurama asked the young demon, yet again.

"I am two years old." The Nihome said.

"You can talk at two?" Kurama asked. He also noticed that he did not say 'in human years'.

"The Nihome are different," he started, "we have the minds of an older demon even at this age. At least talking, and at least some wizeness. We grow even faster than humans till we reach about five, and then we grow much, much slower. Like normal demons."

Apparently he does know a lot about the Nihome. And he seems to want at home, well, maybe. "I like you." Kurama said to the child Nihome. The Nihome stared at him. "Come home with us. That's why we came in the first place." The Nihome just stared.

"Bakudan." Hiei said, looking at the Nihome.

"Bakudan?" Kurama said, and looked at Hiei, then at the Nihome. "Bakudan. All right, Bakudan, you are coming with us."

"BAKUDAN?" The Nihome snarled. "Ok, fine I'll come. But you have to put me down."

"All right." Kurama said. But, he grabbed a vine from one of the trees above, and tied one end to his own foot, and the other to Bakudan's foot. Bakudan growled, but didn't do much else.

"So… I guess this is good bye." Fushigi said sadly.

"Yes." Kurama said. He smiled at Fushigi. "Sayonara! Take care of yourself, Fushigi-kun!"

"Hn." Hiei said. Fushigi began to sniffle.

"It's his way of saying good bye, and he will remember you." Kurama said. Hiei glanced at Kurama.

"Good bye, Hiei, Kurama!" Fushigi called, as he ran into the distance "I hope to see you in Ningenkai! That was where you were going, right? My brother might be there. Maybe I will see you then! You gotta meet him!" They heard him call, as he ran into the distance, his voice fading.

"So, Hiei, are you ready to go back?" Kurama asked, taking Hiei's hand.

"Hn." Hiei's Jagan activated, and Kurama, Bakudan, and himself got transported back to Ningenkai. They found themselves right in front of their house.

"Ya mean I have to live in NINGENKAI?!?!?!?!" Bakudan shouted.

"Hai, you better get used to it." Hiei said. The new family walked into the house filled with love.

Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long ^_^ My computer is being really slow, and it is really hard to update, cause it takes forever now. Anyway, Fushigi and Bakudan are both owned by me, if anyone uses them without my permission and without giving me credit, I am gonna be mad… Why would you want to use them? Oh well. Just don't. Oh yeah, Kimida is owned by me to, but he wasn't really in here. Kimida and Fushigi will be in one of the later chapters, but only one. Oh yes… All Nihome are owned by me! I don't want to see any fics with demons with four ears, one foxtail, and one fang, even if they have a different name. Well, if you like, feel free to review. Sorry for any mistakes in this fanfics. If the writing gets big all of a sudden, I am sorry, I didn't mean to do it (I am saying this cause it happened a few other times when the chapters were a bit longer).

The reason Hiei and Kurama didn't go to Mukuro's castle was because Fushigi came and they were to 'amused' with him. K? But, next time they go to Makai they are going to visit her with Bakudan ^_^ Look forward to it… Bye-Chu!
