Warnings: Birth, lime, and perhaps language later on. Perhaps. I do have the ability to write a good fic without cussing every two lines, you see.
Author notes: ^^ Well, I've had this idea for a little while now. I had a previous idea for a YYH fic, but it wasn't going anywhere, so I gave up on that and thought of this one. Ever since I chose MukuroxHiei as my favourite OTP, I wondered, 'What would happen if they were to have a child?' The general story idea began with daydreams and fantasies, but I finally turned it into words. ^^ This is the second fic that I've written that involves pregnancy and birth. My last one was a Hiei mpreg, however. x_X So, here you are. From Psycho Anime Studios, here is Diary of the Damned
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hiei's POV
So strange.
So very strange.
My mate has been acting so peculiar the past few weeks. Yes, my mate. My . Anyway, she's been acting strange. Mind you, by strange I mean not getting out of bed until ten o'clock, having very odd mood swings, and vomiting. I think she's just ill, but it seems like something...more. Her scent has changed. It's a scent I've never before encountered and it's driving me mad trying to figure out what it is. I wonder if it's just a woman thing. In that case, I'd better stay out of it. Or maybe I'll pay the fox a visit and ask him. Maybe.
End Hiei's POV
Hiei walked into Mukuro's chambers. Earlier, he had sent for a doctor to examine her, much against her wishes. But he insisted, and she finally gave in. The doctor was now getting up from beside a sleeping Mukuro. Hiei raised an eyebrow to inquire as to why his wife was asleep.
Hiei would've laughed, but he really wasn't in the mood. "What's wrong with her?"
The doctor/ogre took off his bifocals and looked Hiei square in the eye. There was a hint of a smile on his face. "Can I ask you a question?"
Hiei only blinked.
"Have you and Mukuro mated recently?"
Hiei frowned and shifted. "That's rather personal, isn't it?"
The doctor chuckled a bit.
Hiei sighed and looked up to the ceiling, remembering. "About three months ago. Why?"
Now the smile on his face appeared. "I thought so. Congratulations, Hiei. Your wife is pregnant."
Hiei blinked, frowning in thought. "Pregnant?"
The ogre nodded, slipping his glasses back on. "Yes. You should be very proud. If you have any questions, feel free to drop by my office." With that, the doctor swept past Hiei out the door, leaving the fire demon staring into space.
...What does 'pregnant' mean?
Now, I would like you to remember, dear readers, that Hiei is not familiar with our large, ningen terms such as 'pregnant.' If the doctor had said, "Mukuro is going to have a child.", Hiei would've understood perfectly. However, that's not the case here. Hiei is not stupid, now, he was just never schooled in words such as those. So, it's off to Kurama's house for a little talk.
"Pregnant." Hiei muttered to himself once more before flitting out the door.
~*~
"Pregnant!"
"Shrimp! You did that with Mukuro! I'm going to be sick!"
"Oh, my goodness..."
Hiei looked at all three of his friends with narrowed eyes. Some friends...
Yusuke was sputtering in disbelief while laughing, tipping himself off the armchair he was sitting in. Kuwabara was clutching a pillow, screaming something about being mentally scarred. Kurama had choked on his drink and was now coughing into one hand while the other was clutching his chest.
Hiei growled and cursed himself for even coming here in the first place.
"Yes!" Yusuke cheered from his place on the floor. He was lying on his back and still laughing. "Hiei scored! Ouch!" Yusuke clutched his shoulder where Hiei had kicked him.
"Must. Fight. Images." Kuwabara muttered, looking very much like a fish out of water.
Kurama cleared his throat and tried to look composed, although a blush was very apparent on his face.
"That's very wonderful, Hiei." Kurama said, smiling kindly.
"Wonderful?" Yusuke guffawed. "It's GREAT! Hiei got laid! Ouch! Stop it!" He clutched his shoulder again.
Hiei growled in warning.
"Geez, Shrimp, I didn't know you had it in you." Kuwabara said, very pale.
Kurama supressed the urge to roll his eyes. "So what do you need our help with?"
Hiei sighed and looked up to the ceiling, as if praying for mercy, then looked back at Kurama. "I don't know what 'pregnant' means."
Kurama choked on his drink once more, looking away and coughing while Yusuke continued to roar in laughter and now Kuwabara was chuckling.
"Geez, Hiei, even I know what it means, and I always skipped health class." Yusuke gasped, breaking into laughter again and pounding his fists on the floor.
Hiei silently hoped Yusuke would laugh so hard he would vomit up his lungs, then turned back to Kurama, who was again recomposing himself and now there was a deeper blush on his face.
"Yusuke, I'd stop laughing. You're asking for it."
Yusuke managed to speak. "Asking for what?" Then he caught sight of Hiei's face. "Oh..." He quieted down immediately.
The redhead cleared his throat. "Hiei, 'pregnant' means that she's expecting a child."
Hiei paled very dramatically and a large bob in his adam's apple was visible as he gulped deeply.
Kurama smiled. "In other words, you're going to be a father."
The ex-Spirit Detective on the floor smirked widely, imagining a little kid calling Hiei 'Chi-chi-hue.'
Hiei looked at Kurama, a look of disbelief on his face. He couldn't speak, for it felt as if his tongue had swollen up. His mouth was dry, his stomach was in knots, and his hands were shaking. The shock was just a little too much for him.
The others patiently waited for Hiei to react, a snicker being emitted here and there.
Finally, Hiei shook his head slowly. "How?" He muttered. This sent Yusuke and Kuwabara back into stifled laughter.
Kurama continued to blush, his ears a prominant shade of crimson. "Hiei, do you remember that talk we had before you got married?"
Hiei thought for a minute, then his body convulsed slighly as he grimaced, obviously remembering. About six months ago, Kurama had given him 'The Talk'. However, Hiei had passed out from shock after a few intimate details. "I remember..."
The fox nodded. "That's now. Had you stayed concious, I would've explained what can happen after mating."
Hiei grimaced, sinking very low in the chair he was sitting on.
Yusuke stood up. "This is great! Hiei's going to be a father, Mukuro's going to be a mother, and...that's kinda scary, actually..."
Hiei finally absorbed it all. "So...I'm going to be a father." He nodded slightly, then asked. "What's next?"
"Kuwabara will get laid." Yusuke answered, smirking, earning a glare from the carrot-top.
Kurama sighed. "Well, it will take nine months for the baby to be fully formed. Then the big day will come." Kurama smiled brightly.
Hiei was still slightly in shock. "I'm not sure if I'm ready."
"Hey, we'll be there to help you." Yusuke said, flouncing over and sitting on the arm of Hiei's chair. He put his arms tightly around Hiei and hugged him joyfully. "He's a father before he even hits his growth spurt!"
Hiei growled lowly, but didn't push away. After Yusuke was done, he rose from his chair. "Guess I'd better tell Mukuro." With that, he disappeared out the window.
"That's always the way." Kurama remarked. "The father knows before the mother does."
Yusuke nodded. "Yeah, why is that?"
"I'm not sure." The fox said with a chuckle. "I wonder what Mukuro will say..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, we all wonder what Mukuro will say, don't we? ^_^ And the 'Kuwabara will get laid' line was hilarious, was it not? BUT...was that line just a line? Or was it forshadowing? DUN DUN DUUUUUUN! Well, on the other hand, there's the fact that the Pope would get laid before Kuwabara would... Stick around for the next exciting chapter! Oh, and e-mail your reviews!
