Chapter 7

A Sad Morning

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was a while later when a shrill cry split the quiet and calm of the night. Both demons groaned when they were awakened from their shared and pleasant dream. It was quite common for them to share the same dream, thanks to the fire demon's Jagan eye and their bond.

Kurama pulled out of his mate's arms and got up. He grabbed a pair of boxers out of his dresser and put them on. He headed from the bedroom towards the kitchen to get a bottle. When he walked back into the room, Hiei was sitting on the bed in a pair of his boxers, holding the still crying kit. Kurama yawned, walking over to the bed and handing the bottle to the fire demon. He climbed back into bed and pulled the covers up to their waists. The crying instantly stopped when the nipple found the baby's mouth.

"You called it, fox." Hiei mumbled tiredly.

"I wish I hadn't." Kurama replied, looking down to the kit. He was happily sucking away on his bottle, oblivious to the fact he had just woken up two very tired demons. "He should start sleeping through the night when he gets all of his energy back and gets enough to eat."

"I hope so! I don't know how long I will be able to stand this." Hiei said, very annoyed. Kurama started laughing out right. The fire demon sent him a glare and growled. "What's so funny?"

"You." Kurama managed to get out. After a few moments, the fox got his laughter under control with his lover glaring death at him. "You say you can't stand this now, but when our kit comes, it'll be waking up a couple of times a night to eat or have it's diaper changed. What are you going to do then?"

"I'll let you deal with our kit." Hiei smirked, glancing sideways to his fox.

"No way am I going to be the only one getting up in the middle of the night!" Kurama stated decisively.

"I know, I was just teasing you." Hiei smiled, laying his head against the fox's shoulder. Kurama cupped the fire demon's chin and tilted his head back. He softly kissed his mate's still slightly swollen lips.

"I know you were." Kurama smiled when they parted. "When will you be leaving for the Makai?"

"At first light."

"Well you wait until a little later?"

"Why?"

"Well, because I want to see you off and not wake up to another empty bed." Kurama said, lying his head against his lover's. "Plus, I want to pack you some healthy plants you can add to your food. How long do you think you will be gone?"

"I don't know maybe a week or two, depending on how fast I travel and how often I have to stop and rest." Hiei answered, noticing the kit was falling back to sleep. He heard the small sigh the fox let out. "Don't worry to much, Kurama. I won't do anything stupid to endanger myself and our child."

"I know you won't, but I can't make myself not worry. My pregnant, forbidden mate is going to be traveling through the Makai alone."

"Hn, like I promised I'll be very careful." Hiei said before getting up. He carried the kit over to the crib and laid him down, pulling the small blanket over him. The fire demon got back into bed, next to his fox and took his hand. He could tell Kurama was still worrying. "Besides I won't be completely alone. I'll have you with me." Hiei smiled, bringing the fox's hand up to his chest and placing it over his heart. "Here." The fire demon moved his mate's hand down to his stomach, over their child. "And here."

"Yes, that's true." Kurama smiled, encircling his lover's waist with his arms. They slid down into the bed together, the fox laying his head on the fire demon's shoulder.

"I'll be here when you wake up in the morning." Hiei said, slipping his arms comfortably around the fox.

"Thank you, Koi." Kurama mumbled before falling back to sleep. Hiei stayed awake a little while longer, thinking about all the safety measures he would have to take in the Makai. He could not make one single mistake while there. If he did it could very well cost him his life or the life of his child. He really wished his fox was able to go with him, but that wasn't possible. He drifted to sleep, starting to worry too.

Kurama was just starting to wake up when he felt the bed suddenly shift, violently. He set up, fully awake and looking down next to him. He found that Hiei was not on the bed. The fox heard noises coming from the bathroom. He quickly got up and went towards the door. When he opened it, Kurama saw Hiei on his knees with his head hanging over the toilet. The fox sank down beside his lover and started rubbing his back gently. Hiei was vaguely aware of the fox's hand, while he continued to involuntarily rid his stomach of all contents. He finally was able to get the heaving of his stomach under control and took a deep breath. Kurama got up and grabbed a wash cloth, wetting it. He also filled a small glass with water. He sat back down and gently washed his mate's face.

"I really believe you should wait to go to the Makai, Koi." Kurama commented quietly as he handed his mate the glass. The fire demon quickly washed his mouth out and sat the cup on the counter. The fox reached up and flushed the toilet.

"I'll be fine." Hiei mumbled, leaning against the fox for support. Kurama pulled the fire demon into his lap and wrapped his arms around him tightly. He just held his lover for several minutes.

"Wait, just until after the baby comes and you are back to your old self." Kurama tried again.

"No, I have to go now." Hiei replied forcefully.

"Why now?"

"Because, I want the baby born in our new dwelling and not in this little apartment."

"Oh, I would like that too, but not at the expense of you or our child." Kurama commented quietly.

"Hn, I promised I will be careful and I will." Hiei replied, pulling back some to look at his fox. "I wish you were coming with me though."

"I wish I was too, but I can't not in this form. I won't be going back to the Makai until I have mastered the switch to my Youko form."

"I know, will you continue to practice while I'm gone?"

"Yes, I'll keep trying to switch and to hold it longer." Kurama nodded with a smile.

"Good boy." Hiei smirked. Kurama leaned towards him, but he quickly stopped him. "Don't, my mouth tastes awful. I need to brush my teeth before you kiss me."

"I don't care." Kurama replied, leaning forward again for a gentle kiss which the fire demon let happen. A cry from the other room signaled that Toushi was awake. Hiei got up, off the fox's lap, and walked out the bathroom door. Kurama got up too and followed his mate. "You go make his bottle while I change his diaper, Hiei."

"Hn." Hiei grunted, leaving the bedroom. He was coming out of the kitchen when another bout of nausea struck him.

Kurama had just walked out of the bedroom door when a bottle was passed to him as his lover ran by. He heard the retching coming from the bathroom and decided the fire demon needed something to calm his stomach. He pulled a seed from his hair and forced it to grow as he walked towards the kitchen. He put Toushi in his bouncer, sat the plant down on the counter, and grabbed a mug from the cabinet. He filled the cup with water before sticking it into the microwave for a couple of minutes. While he waited he quickly sketched out a map to the location of the items he wanted the fire demon to get. He just hoped the landmarks hadn't changed to much.

Hiei came slowly walking into the kitchen with a hand against his upset stomach. He smiled and took the mug of peppermint tea, his fox held out to him. They walked into the living room and sank down into the couch together. Kurama shifted the kit to sit in his lap and stuck the bottle into his small mouth. Hiei started sipping at his tea, hoping to keep it down. In a little bit, the tea was gone and the bottle was empty.

"Here, hold him for a minute." Kurama said, passing Toushi to the fire demon. He got up and went to the kitchen. He came back out carrying a mortar and pestle, the plant from earlier, and a couple of plastic sandwich bags. He sat down on the couch with a bright smile. "Can you use some of your fire energy to dry this plant out?"

"I can." Hiei nodded, putting the kit on the floor between them. He took the plant and looked it over. "You made this plant bloom until it produced seeds."

"Yes, I will make a couple of more plants from them and save the rest for later use."

"I see." Hiei said, sending heat to the hand that held the plant, quickly drying it out. Kurama took the now dried herb and started breaking it up. He grinded it down using the mortar and pestle before putting the now very small pieces into the sandwich bag. The whole process was repeated three more times, making the baggie quite full. The fox pulled several different seeds from his hair and made them grow, which the fire demon also dried. That mixture of plants went into the other sandwich baggie after it was crushed up. Kurama held the baggies out to his mate.

"How much do I use?" Hiei asked, taking the offered bags.

"For the peppermint tea, you can put however much you want in there, if you would like it stronger." Kurama replied, looking from the bag to his lover.

"I like it the way you fix it."

"I put about five pinches into a cup."

"That's what I will use then." Hiei commented, looking over the other bag.

"For the plant mixture, sprinkle it over your food. It is high in vitamins and minerals which is what you need right now." Kurama replied when he noticed his mate looking at the other bag.

"Hn." Hiei grunted, accepting what the fox had said.

"Do you think, you will be able to eat some breakfast?"

"I'll try, I am hungry even though I'll probably get sick again."

"Okay, I'll fix you something bland." Kurama said as got up from the couch. He picked up Toushi and went towards the kitchen to start breakfast.

"Okay, I'm going to get dressed so I can be on my way." Hiei said, getting up and walking towards the bedroom. Kurama just watched him sadly over his shoulder. He didn't want his mate to be away from him, especially right now, but there was nothing he could do, Hiei had set his mind to it and there was no changing it. The fox went on into the kitchen and made breakfast.

Hiei walked out of the bedroom several minutes later, completely dressed in his normal black clothes, katana at his side. The demons ate breakfast in silence, neither really knowing what to say with both of their moods depressing. They both walked into the living room solemnly. Kurama put Toushi on his stomach, on the floor. He walked over and embraced his lover tightly. The fire demon returned the tight hold. They stood like that for a long while, neither wanting to let go of the other. Kurama finally pulled away some and tilted his mate's head up. He leaned down and caught the fire demon's lips in a deep kiss. The demons slowly and reluctantly parted their mouths.

"Please be very careful, Koi." Kurama said, rubbing his hands up and down his lover's back.

"I won't take any unnecessary chances." Hiei stated, trying again to reassure his fox.

"I love you, Hiei." Kurama smiled softly.

"I love you too, Kurama." Hiei said with an equally soft smile. The demons kissed again before stepping away from each other. The fox handed the map he had sketched out to his lover and the fire demon stuck it into a pocket in his cloak. Kurama walked over and picked Toushi up off the floor. Hiei went over to the sliding glass doors, looking over his shoulder. He smiled at the picture he saw, his fox had a sad smile of his face and tears in his eyes that he refused to let fall, holding the little kit.

In that moment, Hiei wanted to break down and fully cry for the first time in his life. He finally realized, he actually had a true family that wanted and cared about him. The whole time he had been with the fox, he was waiting for the inevitable 'I don't want you anymore' speech. It didn't matter that they were mated, he still waited for it, but it never came and he now knew, never would. He was no longer trash to be thrown out, he was no longer forbidden. He was now a husband and a father, by ningen standards, and that was fine with him. He was also going to be a mother in a way, his hand drifting over his lower stomach, and that was fine with him too. The fire demon looked at his lover with tears in his eyes as well.

"Please come back to me, to us." Kurama whispered, a single tear running down his cheek.

"I promise, fox, I will." Hiei replied softly, letting a single tear run down his cheek too. He could have easily stopped it, but didn't want too. It fell from his chin and solidified just before he caught it. He smiled, tossing the gem to his fox. "Have Toushi a necklace made similar to ours."

"I will." Kurama smiled, catching the black Hiruseki Stone with his free hand.

In a black blur, Hiei was gone out the opened glass door. Kurama walked over and shut it, looking out the glass miserably. There was nothing he could do now, but wait and worry until his lover returned from the Makai.

THE END, SORT OF!
