"He's just a baby!"

"Hina, he'll kill us all! If we don't act on something now, he will kill us and then the koorime race will be destroyed!"

"But-"

"No buts Hina! You knew that what you did was forbidden! We should just throw you off the cliff along with that baby girl that you had also!"

"She's only a baby too! Please, do whatever you want with me, but leave my children out of this! And anyway, he is half koorime too! You'd actually kill me, a full blooded koorime, because of my babies? Shame on you!"

"Hina, I don't care if he's half koorime, he's also half fire youkai."

"But-"

"No buts Hina! And shame on you, for having children by a damn fire demon!"

"HE SAVED ME FROM THE YOUKAIS THAT WERE AFTER ME!! I HAD TO DO SOMETHING IN ORDER TO PAY HIM BACK!!"

"No yelling Hina!"

"Why not?! You're yelling!!"

Then the little baby that the elders had held started crying.

"Give me my baby!"

"Hina, you are making a mistake!" warned an elder.

"We all learn from mistakes!"

"You will be thrown off the cliff as well if you-" But Hina didn't listen. She snatched her baby boy and left.

"Hina, give us back that baby!"

"Make me!" She walked into a small house where her baby girl was being cared for. A small child was playing with her.

"Hina, this is such a darling baby. I just- Hina?" The girl looked at Hina, who was flaming mad.

"Give me my baby. I'm leaving!" The girl handed her the small baby girl, a bit confused and worried.

"Hina, you are defying the elders!" A koorime came out of the small house that Hina had given birth to her twins.

"They have rejected my baby boy and even threatened to throw him, my baby girl, and myself off the cliff! I have plenty reasons to defy them all!"

"But Hina, they just want the best for all of us."

"No Rui, they just wanted what was best for themselves, not caring what I had to say."

"Hina, what you did was wrong and forbidden. You had sexual intercourse with a fire youkai and this is what happened."

"Some friend you turned out to be!" Hina held both her babies close, for it was starting to snow even harder.

"Hina! Don't leave!" her friend, Rui, had said.

"I don't want to stay in a village that rejected my two beautiful babies! I don't want my children to be prejudice over other youkais!" Hina yelled.

"Hina! That baby boy must be thrown off that cliff! He'll bring all of the koorimes and the village bad luck!" an elder had yelled.

"I hope so, since you all seem to reject him!" Hina said, walking out of the village.

"Hina, get back here!" all the elders called out. Hina didn't listen to them. She kept walking.

"Reject my babies, will they? Then I shouldn't be there," Hina said. The two babies she held were watching her. She kept walking, with a straight face. She kept walking until her feet couldn't walk anymore. She sat down near a tree.

"I hope I don't meet anymore youkais or you two might die. I would rather die then see my babies die," Hina said. They both watched her and then the little girl started crying. The little boy watched his sister.

"Ahh, you must be hungry," Hina said, holding the little girl close to her brest. The little baby boy just watched, didn't cry, didn't do anything. The little girl fell asleep.

"My little baby girl. What shall I name you?" she asked herself. The little boy watched his mom as she began to think.

"I like... Yukina. And you," she said, picking up the little boy, "will wait until your father comes and names you." The little stared at her. She sighed.

"I wish my eyes were like you and your sister's. Mine are just grey. Yours are a beautiful red color." The little boy began to laugh. Hina giggled. She put him back on her lap. "I'm glad you're alive, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." She started crying. The little baby watched as tear gems came out from his mother's eyes. She got the first two that had come out of her eyes and gave one to the baby boy.

"I know you will know what to do with this," she said as she put the other gem to the sleeping baby girl. The boy looked at it. Instead of throwing it away, he held onto it. Hina looked at him and smiled.

"I knew you were going to hang onto it. And hang onto it forever and ever, to know that your mother will always love you, no matter what." She held onto him. Then the boy started crying, blood red tear gems flying out of his eyes. He could sense something that was infamiliar to him.

"There, there," Hina said, holding onto him. He didn't stop crying. The sense was closing in. "What's wrong, my boy? Are you hungry?" He kept crying.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!"

Hina jumped. Something had grabbed her waist and pulled her close.

"Gotcha!" She turned and smiled.

"You scared me, Renji! And you especially scared your son!" A man with gravity defying hair raised an eyebrow.

"Son? I have a son?" Hina nodded and smiled.

"See? And you have a daughter." He sat next to her and saw a boy in her lap and a girl resting near her breast.

"These are our children?" Renji asked, his eyes gleaming and his smile getting bigger.

"Exactly!" He hugged her, making the little boy stop crying. He laughed.

"Now," Renji said, holding the laughing little boy, "what's his name?" Hina shook her head.

"That would be your decision. I named the little girl. This is your daughter, Yukina," Hina said, holding the now awake little girl.

"Yukina? That's such a pretty name for such a pretty girl," he said, smiling at Yukina, who smiled in return.

"Hmm... now what shall your name be, my son?" Renji asked. He snapped his fingers. "I know. You shall be Hiei, my son." Hiei laughed as Renji threw him in the air and caught him.

"And Hina, what if I was a dangerous youkai? Then what?" he asked her, his eyes curious.

"I would have to scream and beg him for my children's lives."

"And if he refused?"

"I would slap his face and run." Renji laughed.

"Nice. And Hina?"

"Hai?"

"Why aren't you in your village? It's a dangerous world outside of your village," he said. Her smiled turned into a mad frown.

"They were going to throw Hiei off the cliff and even threatened to throw Yukina and myself off with him. I wouldn't have minded myself being thrown off, but threatening my babies when they didn't do anything is just wrong. So I left."

"That determination, confidence, and attitude is probably what attracted me to you most, other than your beauty," Renji said, laughing. Hina smiled. Renji stood up and helped Hina up by taking Yukina and Hiei.

"We will all find a place where it's safe for the kids to play and grow up when they're older and big enough to hold all of us," Renji said, smiling at Hina. She nodded and smiled back. Yukina was laughing along with Hiei, who had started laughing awhile ago.

"Hina, you seemed to have given birth to laughing babies," Renji said, laughing. "And it's contagious!" Hina laughed.

"You're right. It is!" And they left, Hina holding Yukina and Renji holding Hiei, to start a good life.

Or not...
