[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
First off I want to let you all know Hiei did not know Kyoko was Kurama's mate or that she was pregnant or else he would've told Kurama. Kookaburra just told him that he was to help capture a princess and bring her back to him. So it was no completely his fault.

Chapter 10
Room of Mirrors
Kyoko hit the side of her body when the large demon threw her on ground in front of a throne. She looked up and saw a Youko in emerald green robes. It was Kookaburra, he was a red breed of the Youko species, and he was just smiling evilly down at her. She struggled sit up right as she growled at Kookaburra behind the gag as he approached her.
He kneeled in front of her and held her chin as he smiled, “Don't try that you're in my territory now. Do you really think your insult would go unpunished?”
The only answer her gave him was a continuous growl and a glare.
He pushed her face away and turned to guards, “Take her to the mirror room.”
It was then Kyoko began to fight against her binds as the guards approached her. She turned pleading eyes to the demon that protected her to save her but the look on his face made her realize he didn't know how serious the mirror room was. Kyoko screamed and struggled against the guards as they dragged her away.
The large demon looked at Lord Kookaburra and asked, “My lord, what is the mirror room?”
“I'll show you but first tell me how your trip went,” he said as he followed the guards.
“Well, getting her wasn't the problem it was staying ahead of her mate. My partners you assigned were killed by stalking him so I could get the Princess here.”
“Tell me, Moori.”
“Don't let Youko get to me,” Moori ordered the other demonsrunning far aheadas Kyoko struggled to get off his shoulder.
“Yes sir,” the demons answered knowing that they wouldn't survive and fell back to face Kyoko's mate.
Kyoko gave another muffled scream as she watched Kurama face off with the four demons. Moori heard clashing of weaponsand cursing from Kurama as he fought against the demons.
Kookaburra chuckled as they came to a door, “Well I wasn't expecting that man whore would go after her. Here we are the observation room of the mirror room.” (A/n: Sorry Youko fans! I'm a fan too but that's Kookaburra for you.)
When Moori stepped to the observing window he was Kyoko in a small room with the walls made of mirrors. He could only watch as Kyoko threw herself, kicked, and punched the walls in an attempt to free herself. He looked at Kookaburra as the Youko came up chuckling.
“Silver and grey Youko are very powerful among the Youko species but there's only one flaw with them. They hate to be confined in rooms like these. The stress will soon have an effect on her and her kits.”
“You mean...”
“She'll be delivering the kits sooner than she thinks.”
`I gotta get her out of here.'
Suddenly Kyoko's energy flared as she screamed out and the mirrors were deeply cracked but then she leaned against the wall and slide down exhausted.
Kookaburra held of his chin with one hand and with the other held the inside of his elbow, “Well it appears the rumors about Princess Tatta Hitotsu No Gini Ronomono's powers are true. My heirs will be strong...”
“May I ask what are you are going to do with Youko's kits?”
The lord smiled evilly, “I'm going to kill them in front of her to break her will to fight me,” once he said that he turned and left.
Moori could only watch the lord leave before turning to the exhausted princess, `I will not allow that to happen.'

Isamu ran into the guards' room with an urgent message and yelled to his two brothers', “Kyoko's been captured!”
Aden and Katsu looked up from the maps they were looking at as will as the guards. Aden looked at him with frantic eyes, “We can't get to her not with the war just outside the walls. There's no way to save here!”
Katsu turned to their eldest, “Isamu can.”
“What?” the king turned to his brother.
“It may have been years since our training days, but Isamu is the only one fast enough to keep up with Kyoko. If he can get past the war lines he'll be able to get to Lord Kookaburra's castle.”
“You're right,” he turned to his youngest brother, “Shed your robes and into peasant clothes--NOT IN HERE YOU IDIOT!” Isamu just as he held his pants up. (A/n: couldn't resist.) “And we'll clear a path for you.”
“Yes sir!” Isamu saluted and let go of his pants and blind the guards with his white legs. (A/n: NO! He's wear a fundoshi!) He looked down and quickly pulled them, “Oops!”
“Get out of here!” Aden yelled.
Isamu squealed and ran out of the room holding his pants.
“Idiotic brother,” Katsu mumbled.

Isamu made it through the war lines, straight across the desert, and somehow caught up to the neutral villages rescue team. He told them who he was as they continued to run and that Kyoko was already at the lords' castle. They picked up speed while Hiei ran ahead to save Kyoko himself. Each of the team was praying to their own deity to protect Kyoko and the kits.

Kyoko held her knees to her chest protecting the medium size bulge her in abdomen as rest her head on her knees and let silent tears fall from her eyes. Her ears moved towards the door as it opened and slowly she looked up with her now white colored eyes (a/n: effect of her power). Kyoko's black pupils widened when she saw Moori.
“Quickly, he plans on killing your kits. I won't let him do that!” he told her as he picked her up.
“It took you long enough to realize that he's evil but...thank you for coming back,” she told him as he ran down the halls.
“I didn't know he was going to kill your kits or else I would've protected you.”
All too soon they reached the throne room. Moori turned to the only exit out of the castle when a red whip hit his back. He quickly pushed Kyoko away from him so he wouldn't crush her as he fell to the ground. Kyoko tumbled a few feet away from Moori but when she opened her eyes she saw him in front of her with a giant hole in his stomach.
“Moori!” she cried out but then felt it. Looking down she confirmed that her water broke and the kits were coming out. She screamed in pain as the contraction hit her. (A/n: I have no idea how it feels to go into labor so sorry if I get it wrong.) She held her stomach as Kookaburra approached her.
“Looks like it worked. Now you'll watch as I kill your kits one...by...one,” he told her as he pronounced the last part slowly.
Kyoko cried out in fear and wisdom, “If you do that your people will revolt! And it's horrible!”
“Like I care, I control them with fear.” He turned to a servant, “Help birth the kits and once they're gone leave.”
The servant bowed before she went to Kyoko.

Kurama was close enough in the city to see the castle but the city was too big and he had a ways to go. He sped along sensing that Kyoko just went into labor but he was already at his max of speed. He prayed that he would reach them before anything could happen to his mate or kits.

Isamu knew he had to get to the castle before time ran out but he couldn't do it with the team slowing him down. He turned, running backwards yelled, “I'm going ahead!”
“Go ahead!” Toya yelled back. “We know how much she means to your kingdom and your family!”
“Thank you!” with that Isamu turned and ran at his full speed. He was half-way through the city by the time the rescue team broke through the forest.

Kyoko screamed out when she saw Kookaburra place her five kits on the cold ground as the cried out for her. “Please! Don't!” she desperately struggled against the guards that held her back.
Kookaburra pulled out a knife and held dangerously close to the kits as he kneeled next to them. His voice was filled with amusement as he asked, “Which one should be first? ...How about the runt?”
“No!” Kyoko cried out.
“Stay away from my kits, you bastard!” Kurama suddenly yelled as he burst through the doors of the throne room and ran at Kookaburra.
Kookaburra smiled as he waited until the last minute to spin kicked Kurama across the room. Guards rushed him before he even hit the ground. The lord laughed when the guards held Kurama as he turned to the kits once again, “Watch, Youko Kurama, as I kill your kits.”
Kyoko and Kurama watched in horror as the blade came down at the runt of the litter. Kyoko screamed, “NOOOO!”
Glass shattered and blood splattered the lord's face as he stared down surprised.
Cliff hanger! Yay!
