The Chosen One
(Amy) Hey everyone, I know it has taken me forever to repost this story but I have totally redone this story. I'm hoping to have made it better than the last version.
(Hiei) She has been mulling over this story for a while now, trying to figure out how to redo it so that it meets up with the rest of her stories of great writing.
(Amy) Now that I have started redoing this story, I shall post each chapter as I complete them. In truth, I don't know when the next chapter will be up because I have plenty of other things that call my attention now and then.
(Hiei) Now onto the redone chapter one
Chapter One: My Thoughts
Many things have changed since the Dark Tournament. Everyone has changed including me. Yusuke is married to Keiko, Kuwabara has married my sister Yukina, and his sister Shizuru is not married yet. We move freely between the three worlds now, as we are all very powerful demons, half demons, and humans. Kurama moved out of his human mother's house two years ago into a cottage in the woods away from everyone so that no innocence humans are harmed when they are practicing their powers or are attacked.
Around 2:30 in the morning, I'm sitting outside on the balcony railing staring up at the moon. It is such a beautiful peaceful evening and I just can't sleep for some reason. I always feel so calm staring at the moon, Kurama is currently sleeping in our bed. I know I don't seem like the type to settle down or even fall in love with someone but it did happen. I fell hard for the fox, I love him with everything I am, and I don't know what I would do without him. A pair of arms wrapped around my chest pulling me back into a firm chest behind me.
"Hiei, what are you doing up this late?" asks Kurama kissing my exposed neck.
"Thinking, you're supposed to be asleep right now, don't you have work in the morning," I answer him. Kurama works from home most of the time as a designer of anything that can be built but sometimes he has to go into the office for meetings that he can't avoid.
"Thinking about what Hiei" Kurama breathes against my skin sending a shiver down my spine. "Don't hide things from me Hiei; if we want this relationship to work we can't keep secrets from each other."
"I know Kurama," I whisper while turning and tilting my head to look up at him. I'm as tall as he is but right now, he is taller because I'm sitting down. "I have morning sickness and I'm not sure what it could mean."
"Are you alright?" asks Kurama his voice wavering with a hint of panic laced with concern. "Please, don't let there be anything majorly wrong with you Hiei!" He grips me tighter and pulls me closer to his chest as he sticks his head into the junction between my neck and collarbone.
"Don't worry Kurama, nothing is wrong, I might have a small demon cold. I was just thinking it might be something else but there is no way for that to happen. Especially because I am a man that it can't happen to me," I tell him hoping to calm him down. I don't want him to panic and start worrying about me. He has other issues to worry about, even though I have been thinking about this since he came into his mating cycle on his sixteenth birthday in his human form.
"Oh thank god! Please don't scare me like that," breathes Kurama as I nod my head in response. "Come Hiei, let's go back to bed. Perhaps I can help you sleep." Kurama lets go and turns to walk back into our room. I watch him for a little while before slipping off the railing and following him into the room.
I smile as he slips into bed pulling the covers back and waiting for me to join him. I slip into bed and right up next to him. Who would have thought me to bottom? We share the position and even though we switch each time we make love. I can't help but wonder if something that only happens to females has happened to me.
"Dwell on it no longer night Hiei. Sleep and perhaps the answer will come after you get a good night's sleep," whispers Kurama wrapping his arms around me and pulling me to his body. "I love you so much Hiei."
"I love you fox," I whisper into his ear as he drifts off back to sleep. I love him with everything I am and so much more. I rest my head back on the pillow and close my eyes. Perhaps Kurama is right, that sleep will do me some good, and maybe afterwards I can find out my answer.
I wake up to the even breathing of my lover. Kurama is still sleeping. I think I'll go for a walk to clear my mind and maybe figure out if what I think is true or not. I slip out of bed, hoping not to disturb Kurama's sleep. I glance at the clock that Kurama keeps in the bedroom. It's eight in the morning right now, and Kurama has to be up by ten so he can be ready to go by eleven to in for the meeting at one.
I walk downstairs and leave a note on the kitchen table for Kurama to see, I avoid eating anything because my stomach is making me feel nauseated and I don't think I can eat anything without throwing it back up in a few minutes. I walk out the back door and go down the steps and into the beautiful backyard. I pick up speed as I walk into the forest and by the time, I reach the trees I'm flitting into the treetops and letting my speed overwhelm me as my thoughts speed up as well.
"Am I pregnant…?" I whisper out into the woods maybe hoping that nature will answer me. Although, I'm not sure how I would react if I were to find out that I am. Even though I'm suspecting it, I just don't know how I will handle the information once I come across it.
I twist my body to avoid being hit by a knife aiming for my stomach. A demon jumps up into my line of view and smiles at me. He throws another knife at my stomach but I catch it and toss it back. The demon disappears and reappears behind me. Before I have the chance to turn around to dodge his attack again –he places a knife to my neck and wraps his other arm around my stomach. He breathes into my ear "You are pregnant Forbidden Child. I'm going to kill the child before it has a chance to be born." My entire body freezes as the words sink in that I'm carrying Kurama's child and that this demon wants to kill my innocent child before it gets a chance at life.
The demon screams in pain and drops me. I jump down the trees to the bottom and land lightly. "HIEI" screams Kurama running up next to me. "Are you alright? I felt the demon and came as fast as I could. You're not hurt are you?" Kurama stands in front of me as the demon turns to look at the two of us. "I'm fine, he didn't do any damage," I growl out shifting my weight to one foot as I lean down ready to attack the demon.
"Don't, you don't have your sword" speaks Kurama before stepping forward and addressing the demon. "Leave now or die." The demon laughs as he launches towards us, jumping into the air, and aiming another knife at my stomach. Kurama lashes his rose whip out, knocking the knife out of its path, and embed itself into a tree. Kurama jumps up into the air and whips his rose whip back and forth trying to catch this demon. The demon dodges and throws tow more knifes my way but I easily move out of the way because he is too far away from me to be able to pin me down. I pick up a rock from the ground and throw it at the demon distracting him long enough for Kurama to transform into Youko Kurama and attack.
Yoko Kurama smiles as the vines climb up the trees, spring out, and wrap themselves around the demon. "Y-You're the de-demon, Y-Yoko Kur-Kurama" stutters out the demon struggling to get free from the vines.
"Hn, took you long enough to figure that out" I growl from my spot a few feet below him.
"Hiei, don't agonize the poor demon" smiles Yoko Kurama from his spot standing on a tree limb a few feet away from the demon.
"Just finish the job, my stomach has finally settled and I would like something to eat," I state turning to walk away as the demons scream echoes throughout the forest. Kurama lands besides me and we both walk back to the house. I stop to gaze at the garden Kurama has growing in his backyard. The things Kurama can get plants to do in both of his forms is amazing. A perfect place to raise children if I took what the demon said for the truth.
We return into the house and for the next two months, nothing out of the ordinary happens. No, demons attack proclaiming I'm pregnant and they want to kill it. I wonder if that demon had me mixed up with some other demon. No, that's not possible he called me the forbidden child. If anything that demon must have been drugged up.
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong
I don't move from my spot and ignore the doorbell ringing. I have other things to be concerned over besides Kurama is already going to answer the door. I think I will sit back and just listen in on who is coming here. "Hello Kazuma and Shizuru I didn't know you guys were coming here today. Please come in" speaks Kurama. Great the moron is here, I don't think I want to talk to him or his sister.
"Don't even think about leaving Hiei" barks Shizuru grabbing my arm and keeping me in the room. "We are here to see you after all."
"Whatever you have to say, just say it and go," I say turning to look at the two of them. Shizuru frowns as the moron tells Kurama to go far enough away that he would not be able to hear what they had to say but in distance to feel spirit pressure going up. Kurama agrees and walks out of the house. I growl as the two sit down and wait for me to do the same. "Tell me now before I kill you for making Kurama leave."
"We know you and Kurama are together in the sense of lovers, so we can guess how it happened to a certain level but you'll have to explain to us something" starts Kuwabara pointing right at me.
"Tell us about your two demon powers and how you got them?" asks Shizuru flipping her hair back.
"I am part fire demon and part ice demon. My mother was an Ice Demon. I'm the Forbidden Child does that work for you" I growl out wanting Kurama to come back and get rid of these idiots for me. I can't stand them. "Now get on with it, I don't have all day to listen to you."
"Calm down Shorty, it's just that I have been feeling two spirit energies from you for the past two months and now I know why. Yukina is you sister right?" asks Kuwabara. I don't have a clue as to why he wants to know something like that. I wonder what the point is to bring up my sister in all of this.
"Hn" I don't say anything more because I just don't feel like it. If he doesn't understand, what it means than that is his fault and not mine.
"We'll take that as a yes, this means to us is that you are pregnant" speaks Shizuru as if she is giving someone a weather report. She has to be joking, there is no way I can be pregnant.
"Quit joking with me, I don't take jokes very well" I growl out moving to flare my spirit energy to bring home Kurama.
"We are not joking, I see two energies inside of you, and one is the child you are carrying. If you want we can tell Kurama for you" speaks Kuwabara smiling as I finally accept the fact that these two idiots can't be lying about something this serious.
"So it's true, what that demon said was right...Kurama did get me pregnant" I groan and watch as Kuwabara flares his spirit energy and a few minutes later Kurama walks back into the house. I walk up to him and hug him tightly. I'm not sure how I should tell him. I mean we haven't even talked about mating yet and by the laws of the Makai; children can't be born to anyone unless they are a mated pair. "I have something important to tell you." I whisper into his chest as Kuwabara and Shizuru excuse themselves from the house to give us privacy.
"Thanks to the fact that my mother was an Ice Demon from the Valley of the Glaciers, I can now get pregnant and give birth" I start telling him. I feel like crying because this will be the first time I acknowledge the fact that I'm from that blasted place. Kurama rubs circles on my back to calm me down. I know I'm overreacting but what else can I do at this moment. I'm two months pregnant and I'm not mated to the father of my child.
"Hush Hiei, everything will be alright," whispers Kurama picking me up and bringing me to our bedroom. He places me on the bed and lies down next to me. "No it won't, I'm pregnant and un-mated. You know what that means in the Makai." I shudder out and he pulls me close to his body and whispers into my ear that we'll just have to mate so our child will not be sought after or taken from us. I fall asleep listening to him whispering in my ear.
I wake up to the quite talking's of Kurama and Genkai. I can tell Kurama is talking to Genkai on the phone. "It's easy to explain how the demon knew; the demon either had that sort of spirit awareness, or knew that a child, from the Forbidden Child would be very powerful." Genkai states, over the phone.
"I see, but where would he get that kind of information. No one knows what would happen if Hiei gives birth to a child unless there is something out there that talks about it" speaks Kurama with a bit of fear in his voice.
"There is a legend that a girl born from the Forbidden Child, that if used for evil could destroy the Spirit World, but if used for good, she will protect it." States Genkai sounding as if she knew this would happen eventually because of whom I am. "So says the demon Reima."
"Hiei will be alright, right?" asks Kurama his voice wavering in control.
"Who knows what is going to happen?" speaks Genkai sounding tired and old. "One thing is for sure. Hiei will be targeted by other demons further down the road because of this and so won't your child."
"I'll protect and so won't everyone else. Hiei can also protect himself from harm. I'm just afraid that something might actually happen to him. I can't lose him" I hear Kurama say before I drift off back to sleep.
