HI! I hope all is going well! Sorry this is taking forever lol I'm working on two other stories o.O So please bare with me. You know the rules :) enjoy!

Kurama sighed, "Hiei, I think you're an idiot."

Hiei stood, "What did you say?"

"You heard me. That kid needs help and you cannot sit there and tell me that you don't want to help him."

Hiei gave his trade mark blank expression, "I just did."

"I understand why you don't want to get close to him. He could be taken away. Yes, it will break Cole's heart and that will irritate you to no end; however, pushing him away will not change that. You need to train the boy and move on. Stop being so damn stubborn about this." Kurama plopped down on his couch and laid his head back. He was a nerve racked father-to-be and didn't need this right now.

Hiei glared and thought for a moment. He knew Kurama was right but he also knew he already secretly thought of Sky as a son of sorts. He also knew Koenma would never let him live down the fact the boy's blood would be in his hands. Then, there was the issue of Cole. He hated it when she was mad at him. He groaned and smacked his forehead, "Whatever. I'll do it."

Kurama smiled. So he did have a soft spot for the boy. He relaxed and placed his hands behind his head, "So how are things?"

Hiei raised an eyebrow, "Things?"

Kurama nodded, "Yes, things."

He gave a suspicious look, "Fine. Why do you ask?"

"No reason. It's just you look wore out."

Hiei sighed, "I just got back this morning."

"How many have you had this week?"

He thought foe a moment, "About ten."

"That's ridiculous. Why is he pinning all of this work on you?"

"I don't know but I wish he would stop. The same for Cole too. She's in her office all of the time. Not to mention the brats she has to keep up with," Hiei growled, "It's annoying."

Kurama nodded, "I would think so. However, with you training Sky and Cole preparing for what is to happen once Cora goes into labor, you'll at least get some sort of break."

Hiei saw the look in Kurama's eyes and smirked, "You're scared aren't you?"

Kurama swallowed, "Out of all the demons and enemies we have faced, I have never been more scared in my life."

Yusuke walked in the door and plopped on the couch, "Hey guys." He looked tired, "Raiden was sick last night. A.K.A. squall fest."

Kurama looked at Hiei, "See."

Yusuke looked at Kurama and laughed, "You're scared aren't you? The great Kurama, one of the strongest demons in existence, is scared?" Kurama blushed and nodded. Yusuke gave him a pat on the shoulder, "Well, it's ok. I was too. I almost threw up when it was getting this close. But hey, you're doing surprisingly well."

Kurama sighed, "Thanks."

Yusuke then looked over to Hiei, "I heard."

Hiei rolled his eyes, "Of course you have. Your woman couldn't keep her mouth shut for anything."

Yusuke smiled, "I also hear this kid gives you a run for your money."

Hiei growled, "I'm leaving."

Kurama turned to Yusuke with an evil glint in his eyes, "We must be there when he trains the kid. I want to see this."

Yusuke laughed, "Anything to keep your mind off of things right?"

Kurama then bowed his head in defeat, "Yes."

Heie returned to see Cole lying on the porch swing. Seemingly asleep. He walked up to her and smirked. Her breathing was even and her eyes unmoving. He heard a giggle and his head snapped to see Sky standing in the doorway. He narrowed his eyes, "Change into something comfortable. We're going to start training now."

The boy gulped and disappeared. He turned his attention back to Cole to see her still sleeping. He bent down and gently picked her up. He made his way to her room and laid her down. Her eyes opened and she grabbed his arms. He smiled, "It's just me."

She smiled and pulled him down to her, "Sleep."

He chuckled, "I can't right now."

She narrowed her eyes, "Why?"

"Because I am going to whip that brat you like so much into shape."

She smiled and pulled him down into a deep kiss, "I knew you would do it."

He got a smug look on his face, "Well if I keep getting these kinds of rewards then I'll do anything you ask."

She laughed, "Yeah whatever."

He gave her another kiss and stood, "Rest. I'll be back later."

"Don't kill the kid. He's six years old."

Sky stood in the clearing with Hiei staring, just staring. Hiei drew his sword and Sky visibly tensed. Hiei noticed and sighed, "I'm not going to use this. I'm just laying it aside."

Sky nodded and watched as Hiei set the sword down followed by himself. He motioned for Sky to sit and the boy silently did as he was told. "Now," Hiei began, " We are going to teach you how to harness your power and eventually control it."

"Like you?"

"Yes. Now, close your eyes and focus on the energy you feel." Sky did as he was told. Hiei instantly felt his energy rise. "Good. Now focus on putting that energy into your hand." Sky's eyebrows furrowed as he concentrated. Hiei smirked. "Open your eyes."

Sky looked to see his hand on fire and smiled. The flames didn't hurt. He looked to Hiei with shining eyes. Then he thought for a moment, "How do I make it go away?"

Hiei chuckled, "You stop thinking about the energy."

Sky did so and the flame disappeared. Hiei then stood, "Just work on that for today and tomorrow we'll take it to the next level." He went to turn around and paused, "Don't catch anything on fire. Cole would kill you?"

When Hiei turned around Sky smiled and concentrated on his energy. He looked to see the fire in his palm and looked to the retreating Hiei. Maybe this will go quick and not be bad at all, Hiei thought. He then felt fire connect with the back of his head. He spun around to see Sky rolling on the ground laughing. "Listen kid, I can make your life hell."

Sky thought for a moment, "No you can't. Cole would be mad at you."

"Try me."

Sky stuck out his tongue and threw another fireball. Before he knew it flames were flying towards him via Hiei. He shrieked and his behind a rock. "Now, stop it and work on what I taught you."

Sky's head peeked out from the rock as he stuck his tongue out at Hiei one more time.

"Boy, out that back in your mouth or I will dispose of it," Hiei warned, walking away. The boy quickly retreated his tongue and sat on the rock.

"How does he do it?" Said the kid, "It's almost like he's smart or something."

'I heard that brat.' Hiei's voice rang in his head.

"AAAAHHHHH! I'm not safe!" Sky yelled, grabbing his head.

Hiei merely smirked and went to lay down and hold the woman he loves in his arms.

:) Sky is going to be one of my favorite characters. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed! Later Days~
