The morning sun had risen and the two sleeping forms stirred in there sleep, their bodies fully aware it was time to get up, their minds reluctant to do so. A loud crash of pans alerted the couple that someone else was up. A black haired girl groaned, her red headed partner moving to get up.

"Let him make his own breakfast," Nara said missing the warmth of her husband. Kurama chuckled as he tied his hair back so it wouldn't get in the way of the food he was about to prepare.

"You know Yusuke, he'll end up burning the whole house down, and I don't think Genkai would be pleased with us if she heard we burnt down her house." Nara laughed sleepily at the thought, it had been six years since her and Yusuke's teacher had passed on. Koenma allowed them to visit her in his office on occasion.

"Besides, you have to get up for work anyways and get those two ready." Nara sighed, her morning routine boring her a bit.

"Hey why don't we switch jobs for the day?" Nara asked propping her head on her head, "I'll cook for everyone and you get them up?"

"I love you dearly Nara," Kurama said kissing Nara on the forehead, "but you cooking is about as bad as his."

Nara made to swipe at him but he moved out of her reach and leaving the room all together. Nara groaned and got up too, deciding she couldn't go back to sleep without her source of heat. She decided she had been spoiled during her 18 years of marriage; they hadn't had a mission since the girls in the gang had had their kids. Nara arrived at a doorway and entered it quietly even though her job was to wake the sleeping teen from his sleep she had the habit of entering her children's room quietly. She smiled at the tuff of black hair sticking up from under the blankets.

"Kaito," Nara said gently shaking the boys shoulder. The boy stirred and rolled over trying like his mother had done earlier to sleep a bit longer. "Kaito you need to get up for school."

"I know mom, can't I just have a few more minuets?" Kaito said sleepily from under his blankets.

"Sure if you don't want breakfast, you know your uncle and cousin won't leave any food for you if you don't get up soon."

Suddenly the boy was up and running down the steps, his emerald eyes glowing with anger at who ever dared to even touch his breakfast. Nara watched his retreating 16 year old form go; it surprised her at how much he looked like Kurama but acted like Yusuke. She smiled and left to go wake the other one.

Not surprising her daughter Akira was already awake, brushing her black hair already in her uniform.

"Good morning mom," she said her emerald eyes fully alert. Akira looked like Nara did except for the eyes. Both of her children had similar features, which is to be expected of twins but it surprised both Kurama and Nara at how alike they were. Both were a perfect blend of the couple, both had inherited their mothers' hair and their fathers' eyes, and their personalities were a perfect blend.

"You might want to hurry Kira," Nara said to her 16 year old daughter, "Your brother is already down there and I'm sure the rest of the family isn't far behind."

Kira's smile faded as she grabbed her bag and ran downstairs.

"Kaito, you better save something for me!" she yelled running down the steps. Nara took back what she thought earlier about her morning routine getting boring. She soon joined the rest in the race for breakfast.

The kitchen hadn't been filled yet with the rest of the family, so far it was just Nara, Kurama, Yusuke, and there twins. Kurama put some bacon on a plate with some eggs and handed it to Nara, kissing her on the cheek as she took it.

"That's cheating you know," he said smiling.

"What is?"

"Using food to get Kaito up and Akira, I thought she was about to send breakfast flying!"

Nara laughed and apologized cutely. Since the twins had turned 16 they had come into their demon powers. Both were able to manipulate plants like their father and both had spirit powers as well as super speed. But when it came to Nara's elemental powers it was split down the middle, Kaito got the ability to manipulate water and earth, while Akira had the ability to manipulate fire and wind. As far as weapons were concerned the twins had been trained to use every weapon imaginable, Kaito loved his fathers traditional rose whip, while Akira was more commonly seen fighting with katanas. Nara had even noticed that when they got extremely emotional their eyes would turn gold. Together they were a force to be reckoned with.

But that didn't stop Kurama and Nara from giving them a normal life with humans. Both were sophomores in high school and had many of their classes together along with the other kids of their strange little family. At that moment Nara heard the running footsteps of Kenji. Nara quickly moved anything breakable off the table and held her plate over her head as Kenji came flying into the kitchen, landing on the table.

"Safe!" Kenji yelled. Kenji was Yusuke and Keiko's oldest child and was a spitting image of his father. The two were so alike Nara sometimes had trouble identifying the two.

"Hey aunt Nara, what up?" Kenji asked smiling a smile that was eerily like his fathers.

"Not much Kenji, hungry?"

"Starved!"

Yusuke tackled his son to the floor, and the two wrestled for their right for breakfast. Keiko and a young girl following not far behind Kenji.

"Morning Yuri, morning Keiko," Nara greeted over the two scuffling on the floor. Yuri was more of a combination of Yusuke and Keiko; she had Yusuke's hair color and Keiko's eye color. While her older brother's personality was just like his father Yuri had a mix of both, she knew when it was ok to be loud and had better control of her rage; she also had the better grades. Yuri was a freshman in high school while Kenji was in the same grade as the twins. Both had inherited Yusuke's spirit powers, and so far they knew only Kenji had Yusuke's demonic abilities since Yuri was not yet 16.

"Morning aunt Nara uncle Kurama," Yuri said her voice light but strong all at once. They all sat and ate their breakfast quietly, a few minuets passing before a quiet orange haired girl walked into the kitchen, her red eyes gazing across the room.

"Good morning Aya!" Kenji said excitedly getting off the floor and getting his breakfast, even though they had grown up together Kenji had developed a love interest in Aya, who was in fact Kuwabara and Yukina's daughter. She was just like her mother and had even inherited her mothers' abilities and had some spirit powers of her own, although they weren't as strong as her ability over ice. They were all sure she would develop a stronger control over ice when she turned 16 since she too was only a freshman.

"Good morning," she said taking a seat next to Kenji who had made room for her. Nara looked at the clock and saw that if the kids didn't leave soon they would miss the train.

"Where's Nina?" Nara said looking over at Akira. Akira shrugged, closing her eyes trying to find a mind link to her friend.

"Don't worry she'll be down soon," came Hotaru's voice as she entered the kitchen a sleepy Hiei following closely behind. And within seconds of that statement a short black haired teen appeared in the doorway. She looked remarkably like Hotaru, but she had her fathers' eyes (not the jagan one) and even had the white star in her hair, only it was on the back of her head.

"Good morning Nina," Kurama said, "hungry?"

"No thank you," she said swiftly sitting near Akira.

"Nina you have to eat breakfast, you hardly ever eat, and then you'll die of hunger. Now have something to eat." Hotaru said looking at her daughter.

"I'm not hungry," she said darkly.

"Eat," this time it wasn't Hotaru that spoke but instead Hiei. Nina looked at her father and quickly made a plate of food for herself. Nina was just like her father, stubborn. Sometimes Hotaru felt that Hiei was the only one who could get Nina to do something, but she knew why. The first time she back talked her father was the last time. He dragged that girl out to the training area that it made everyone's head spin.

Flashback

"You think you have what it takes to take me on, let's see then," Hiei said throwing his daughter a katana and pulling out his own. Nina swallowed hard and drew the sword, her hands shaking.

'What have I gotten myself into? Baka, baka, baka!'

The fight was over in a matter of seconds; Nina was on the ground Hiei holding a sheathed katana to her neck.

"Let that be a lesson to you," he said sternly, "you are to respect me and your mother, if you don't then she will be the one to teach you next time and I will worn you now she is more terrifying than I am in a fight."

End Flashback

Nina had been 13 then, an awkward age for anyone, and ever since that day she hadn't disobeyed Hiei once. Disrespecting her mother was a different story; she hadn't seen her fight and figured that now that she had her own fire power she could hold her own.

In fact the only person the kids had seen fight was Hiei, making him the parent to fear. Not one of the kids believed that their parents were as strong as Hiei or stronger. They knew about their parents' younger days, but now they thought they were too old for that stuff.

Following in after his sister came Jiro, a mirror image of his father. The only way to tell the two apart was by the star in their hair and that Jiro was much taller than his father, while Hiei's star was white Jiro's was red like the red highlights in his mother's hair. He also had the ability to control fire and his personality was just like his mother's, the only difference was he wasn't a morning person and he had his fathers temper. Jiro was the eldest of all the children and was 17 years old in his junior year of high school. He silently took his seat near Akira, who blushed.

"Good morning," came the unmistakable voice of Kuwabara as he made his way into the kitchen, Yukina not far behind. Yukina made herself a plate and sat down at the far end of the table, Kurama finished with making breakfast sat down with his own food and everyone began to eat.

"Hey!" Kuwabara said loudly, "there's no more food left!"

"Snooze ya loose," Yusuke said stuffing his face with eggs and bacon.

"That's not funny Urameshi!!" Kuwabara yelled jumping over the table and tackling Yusuke to the ground. Those who had moved their breakfast out of harms way resumed eating as the two boys scuffled.

"HN Baka's" Hiei and Nina said in unison.

After breakfast everyone went their separate ways. All the kids left to catch the train to take them from Genkai's temple to a block away from their school. All the parents left to go to work, if they had a job. Neither Hiei nor Hotaru had jobs and spent their time patrolling the forest to make sure no low ranking demons found their way to human world. Yukina stayed home as well, but she spent most of her time cleaning the huge temple. It surprised everyone that they could live in the temple together comfortably with their children and still have room for guests.

Kurama went off to his job as a professor at the university, while Nara went to her job as an animator having her own work as an author on the sidelines. Her books were based on real events but no one would ever know that since it was her life put into a book which no one would believe, she was a well known writer and her books were sold all around the world. Keiko went to work as a grade school teacher, she had every single one of the kids in her class when they were younger, making it an advantage for everyone in case they showed any early signs of demonic powers. Meanwhile both Yusuke and Kuwabara had gotten jobs as cops. Nara laughed at the faces Yusuke would have made if he knew he would grow up to be a cop and actually enjoyed it.
