Epilogue:
Yusuke and Kuwabara ran through the kitchen, destroying all the hard work that Keiko, Yukina, and Botan had done. The girls shooed them out of the kitchen with utensils and the occasional piece of food. Genkai paced by the front door, waiting for her special guests to appear at any moment.
“Waiting for someone important?” A voice came from behind the old master. It was short and sassy, but filled with a new sense of happiness.
“AH! NYAKO!” Genkai hugged the young woman tightly, taking in all the differences that five years had on her human body.
“Hi. It has been a while, huh?” Nyako smiled and looked at the aging woman. It had been a while since she had seen large groups of ningens.
“Let's get you three inside!” Genkai added and quickly ushered in her company.
“HEY! Somebody ask for Uncle Yusuke?!” Yusuke came out from the kitchen excitedly and looked around for the baby.
“Do you ever stop being an idiot?” Hiei asked as he stood next to Nyako and Kurama. Yusuke pouted and grabbed a pregnant Keiko from the kitchen.
“Come on! It's all the rage! Keiko and I are doing it!” Yusuke added.
“Yes, Yusuke, we can SEE that…” Nyako laughed. Kurama held tightly around his wife's waist. Every time he reminded himself that he was married, it made his heart race.
“Yeesh! Get going with the baby making! I'm still trying to convince Yukina to marry Kuwabara!” Yusuke sighed and headed back towards the kitchen. Hiei's aura flared and was angry enough to kill the detective as he headed towards the kitchen.
{Be gentle.} Nyako reminded the Jaganshi.
{Hnn.}
“Tell me why you had a private wedding!” Keiko asked as she attempted to sit down. Kurama held out the chair for her and Keiko thanked him. In the kitchen, Nyako could hear Hiei pull his katana and threaten the detective.
“She just wanted it to be quick. Her father doesn't know, and we plan to fix that while we are here…” Kurama stared at his wife. Nyako laughed nervously.
“Hey! It was hard enough to tell him that I was traveling where cell phones and post cards don't work, AND make it convincing. I could have given the old man a heart attack…” Nyako sighed. Keiko made a quick “ooh” sound and Nyako smiled.
“It's the baby. Sweet, but sometimes I think this baby is all Yusuke's. Loves to fight. 24/7.” Keiko smiled. Nyako placed her hand on Keiko's belly and smiled. She felt the tiny feet kick against the girl's stomach.
“So cute. I'm so happy for you. I'm really sorry we couldn't be at the wedding. Did you get our gifts?” Nyako asked excitedly. Keiko winked and laughed.
“What do you think??” The young woman pointed to her growing belly. Nyako laughed and nodded. Kurama watched her as she carried on talking about her adventures in the Makai and how she was learning to love it just as much as the Ningenkai.
“ It isn't as great as I thought it was. Not a vacation! But I'm learning a lot that I wouldn't have if I just stayed here. Besides… I've got the two best guides ever!” Nyako laughed. Hiei came back in the room and put his katana back.
“You didn't hurt him too bad did you? It isn't like I can work right now, Hiei.” Keiko asked. Hiei “hnned” and out stumbled Yusuke, black and blue, but walking and still alive. Nyako smirked and waited for Hiei to sit next to her, but he didn't. He walked back to the front door and stopped before leaving.
“Mukuro wants me back.” He said before he left.
“He works too hard.” Kurama smiled. Nyako inwardly smirked.
{He doesn't do anything but avoid getting hit on by her!} Nyako thought.
{That's a lot of work!} Kurama added.
{True.}
“So when can we expect our first litter of half kitsunes and half nekomattas?” Yusuke asked seriously. Nyako looked up towards the ceiling.
“I'm not sure if they come in litters…” She thought out loud. Kurama blushed and didn't say anything.
“I don't know if we can discuss this at the table.” Kurama grabbed his wife's hand and squeezed it.
“Oh. Right. The point is… not until we do the whole fancy wedding of Boy-wonder's dreams.” Nyako rolled her eyes and laughed. Kurama nodded and seemed content. Genkai felt an over whelming sense of pride through out her.
“You know your mother would be proud of you.” Genkai said softly. Nyako nodded and smiled.
“She's with me. Every where. And she has already given me the talk…and expressed her concerns that I should give my father some grandbabies.” Nyako sighed. “Seems like I'm just getting the third degree from everyone!” She smiled.
{Kids don't sound so bad…} She thought.
{Oh really?? We could go and get started on that…} Youko teased.
{Not at this moment kitsune!} Nyako soothed.
“Well, it would be nice to have some new blood to train.” Genkai admitted. She looked at Keiko who just laughed.
“Yusuke is so excited about having a kid. He hopes it is a boy. I hope it is too. That way the little guy can drive him crazy.” Keiko said. Kuwabara came out with Yukina, holding her hand.
“Kazuma asked me to marry him!” Yukina cried. Everyone looked at the two of them and smiled, knowing that Yukina probably didn't know what `marriage' was. But it was adorable. Kuwabara was grinning and never seemed happier.
“I guess you two just keep bringing good news with you!” Genkai said. Nyako shrugged. She had a feeling that things would be fine, just so long as she was honest.
“I hope my father feels that way.” Nyako replied. Genkai touched her hand and looked her directly in the eyes.
“Your father will be so happy for you. He and Kurama got a long fine back when you were in a coma. Though I'm sure he will want to know the truth.” Genkai said.
“Yeah. That is the problem.” Nyako admitted. Kurama squeezed her hand.
“My mom wasn't sure what to make of it when I told her, but she was happy and she loves me because I am still her child. And she loves you. Very much. Remember how happy she was when we went to see her today? Ecstatic!” Kurama beamed. His mother was happy that Kurama had found someone just like him to spend his days with. She had also hinted at the kids thing.
“Yeah. Alright, I will try to get it off my mind.” Nyako said.
“So when are you thinking about having the wedding?” Keiko asked Kurama, the obvious head master of the wedding plans.
“August. It's a good month.” He added. Nyako shrugged and seemed more content to let him do all the planning. She didn't even want a big wedding. Or one at all.
{Compromise. That's what marriage is about.} Nyako reminded herself.
{And lots of-}
{YES! Okay! That too! I get it! Calm down kitsune!} Nyako reminded her husband. Suddenly her stomach felt all fluttery. It happened every time she mentioned to herself that she was now a married woman, to a fox youkai, and that they would be together forever. It was only mentioned every few hours; but it still caught her off guard.
“Yeah, August sounds fine.” Nyako added. She felt her human figure almost shrink as she remembered what it was like to run in the Makai in her youkai form. It was exhilarating and she would take all the icky rain and lower level youkai for the chance to run around in the endless forests of the Makai.
“Are you even listening?” Genkai asked Nyako. Nyako snapped back from her day dream and shook her head no.
“What do you want?” She asked. Genkai laughed and rolled her eyes.
“I asked if you and Kurama would like to stay in the temple while you are here. Keep up with us.” Genkai said. Nyako glared at her and nodded.
“That would be great. Thanks.”
“I think we should take a walk really quick before dinner is done!” Kurama reminded his wife. Nyako nodded and excused herself from the table. The two sat on the steps at the back of the temple and looked out into the forests.
“So you ready for this?” Kurama asked Nyako. She laced her fingers around his and stared at him.
“No. It's been five years with the occasional phone call and post card. He'll be pissed.” Nyako sighed. Kurama breathed deeply and Nyako looked at him suspiciously.
“I… kind of kept in contact more than you…” Kurama admitted. Nyako glared at him and scooted away.
“What do you mean….MORE THAN me?” She asked, curiously. Kurama smiled.
“Every time I talked to my mother, I called your father. He's had a full report since we left.” Kurama said. Nyako sighed and rolled her eyes.
“Wow. I thought I was bad. I wrote him long letters, and mailed them all every time we came back. Sorry.” Nyako laughed. “I guess we both were home sick.” She tossed her long hair back and looked at her husband.
“Yeah. But at least you know he won't be mad!” Kurama pointed out.
“That is true. Very true.” Nyako said. She was quiet for a while, before she decided to voice what was on her mind. “Why don't we have kids?” She asked. Kurama looked at her, shocked.
“I thought you wouldn't want them.” Kurama said honestly.
“You never asked kitsune.” Nyako replied. Kurama agreed.
“But you never said you wanted them until now.” He pointed out.
“Well. I guess I'm saying I do. So there. I want your children. That good enough for you!?” She growled. Kurama's eyes flashed a pretty shade of amber and he smirked.
“Just what I wanted to hear.”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ END ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Okay. That was really the end. And I'm done with this one! WOOT!
I know that was kind of odd, and bear with me the fact that it really depends on my taste in characters and who I believe is better paired up. In my opinion… Kuwabara and Yukina probably shouldn't be together… it is just kind of weird… lol! And I really wish I had the chance to get another character to pair Hiei with- but it didn't happen this fic! Oh well, maybe next one! But Keiko and Yusuke HAD to be pregnant. I'm just telling you. That HAD to happen! Hahah! Gotta love my sense of humor!
Lovels, Bunny.
Kurama and Nyako: BYE!
Keiko and Yusuke: JA!
Hiei: Hnn (Get out of here)
Kuwabara and Yukina: Bye Bye!
Genkai: Go already!
Bunny: See ya next fic!
P.s.- I am TOTALLY sorry about the fact that Botan doesn't really make a lot of appearances… if any I think in this fic. I guess that is the luck of the draw. I feel bad though. Really I do. I declare my undying love for Botan RIGHT NOW. I LOVE HER. (and every other YYH character…) but I still feel bad! To my Botan fans- I'm sooooo sorry, won't happen again =]
