Chapter two

Hiei woke up alone in a guest room. He really couldn't sleep last night with Kurama dogging every path his mind turned. Hiei got up out of bed and stepped silently into the kitchen. In the kitchen he saw Yukina busily cooking breakfast and his daughter seating at the table waiting for her food to come, her little feet swinging back and forth impatiently and all Hiei could think about was how her hair was so much like Kurama's. When she noticed Hiei his own eyes blinked at him before she climbed down from her chair, her five year old body clumsily making its way to him.

"Daddy, it's you! I missed you!" She hugged his legs and looked up at him, her red waves falling softly about her forehead. Hiei tried to be stern in the face of such innocence.

"Did you give your mother a hard time while I was gone? I heard you've been crying. You worried your mother."

Kurami frowned. "Just a little, Daddy. I just miss you. You've been gone a lot." Hiei frowned.

"Still. You did give your mother a hard time…"

Tears sprung to Kurami's eyes, so foreign looking because they were his eyes. "Daddy, I'm sorry!"

"I will think of your punishment later." Hiei relented and picked up his little daughter. She threw her arms around his neck in a hug and Hiei eased her back in her chair and took care to wipe away her tears.

When their reunion was over Yukina smiled gently at her brother. "Good morning, Brother. Do you want some breakfast?"

Hiei acknowledged her with a soft look. His restless night weighed heavily on him and food seemed unappealing. "I'm not hungry. I'll just head to work now." And moved to finish getting ready before leaving.

"Wait!" Yukina exclaimed, her eyes wide and her face a little flush with her abruptness. Hiei turned to her, eyebrow raised. "You need to take Kurami to school today. Kurama is not feeling well."

Hiei's eyes widened. "What? What's wrong with him?" He asked, worried although he did not show it on the outside.

Yukina smiled, seeing through Hiei's façade. "He just feels a little unwell. Please check on him? And bring him this tea, it might make him feel better." She said and carefully gave him the cup of tea she had brewed. Hiei nodded in thanks and turned to go to Kurama.

"Aunt Yukina, do you think Poppy will feel better soon?" Kurami asked, her sweet round face upturned towards Yukina who smiled reassuringly at her.

"Yes, he will feel better soon. Having a baby can make you tired sometimes. Your mother will be just fine." She placed the little girl's breakfast in front of her. "Eat now, sweetie."

Hiei open the bedroom door to find Kurama sleeping. Hiei stepped quietly into the room and placed the hot tea on the nightstand. Hiei stood over his husband, regarding the pale, soft cheeks and dark lashes with longing on his face. Unable to resist, Hiei bent to caress the sweet face.

Awoken by the touch, Kurama regarded Hiei blearily for a moment before seeming to remember who Hiei was. "Why are you here?" Kurama asked coolly.

Hiei frowned, retracting his hand. "Is it so wrong of me to check on my husband?"

Kurama's jaw clenched. "I don't need you to check on me. Just go, Hiei. I still don't want to see you right now." And with that dismissal Kurama rolled so he wouldn't have to look at him and Hiei couldn't see the tears spilling over Kurama's face.

Hiei frowned. " Kurama, we must talk later. After work. Yukina told me to bring you

this tea for you, it's on the nightstand." Hiei refused to let himself linger and torture himself further and left the room.

Kurama pulled the cover over him and cried harder. Hiei, I thought you

would always be there for me.

Hiei took Kurami to school and went to work and a little after that Kuwabara came over and picked up Yukina, leaving Kurama alone in the apartment. He got up out of bed and went to the kitchen to fix him something to eat, his hunger suddenly gnawing. Just as he opened the ice box the phone rang.

"Hello? Minamino speaking."

"Mr. Minamino, this is Ms. Takada from Kurami's school. I'm calling to inform you that Kurami skipped school today."

"What?" Kurama exclaimed, eyes widening. "That's not like her. Are you sure?"

"Yes. When I was reading the class a story she ran off with a girl with brown hair wearing our school's uniform. Mr. Minamino, Kurami jumped out of the second story window to join this girl."

Kurama let out an explosive sigh, his concern and frustration building. "I know who she ran off with. Thanks for letting me know, Ms. Takada. She's in trouble. I'll make her apologize for disturbing class tomorrow. Thanks again." Then he hung up on the woman, not letting her say her goodbyes.

As Kurama dialed Yusuke's home number he lamented again how much Kurami was like Hiei. He grabbed his keys and slipped into his car as the phone rang, pulling out of the driveway when the phone was answered.

"Yusuke!" Kurama snapped.

"No, it's Keiko." The woman answered but didn't seem perturbed about Kurama's attitude so Kurama didn't make an effort to apologize.

"Keiko! You know Kurami and Yue skipped school together?"

"Yes." Keiko said with something like a resigned sigh. "The school called to tell me that she never checked in to her homeroom. I've already called Yusuke at work and he's looking for them. I would help but I've got my hands full with Keri." She paused and when she spoke again she just sounded weary. "Kurama, do you know where they went?"

Kurama frowned. "Yes. The carnival's in town. Kurami's been begging me and Hiei to go but I haven't had the energy lately and Hiei's been busy with work. They should be there. I'm going to call Hiei to let him know, I'm already heading there myself."

"OK." Keiko sounded a little relieved. "OK. I'll call Yusuke and tell him to meet you there."

Meanwhile, Kurami and Yue were riding the kid roller coaster, having a great time. They got off the roller coaster laughing and eagerly looked around for another ride.

"This is so much fun. Which ride should we get on next?" Yue asked.

Kurami scuffed her shoe in the dirt. "You know we will get in trouble for this. My Poppy will be so disappointed in me for skipping school."

Yue just shrugged in a manner that resembled her father. "My mom will be mad at me, too. What's done is done, too bad we're not old enough to get on the big ride." She said mournfully. "It sucks to be a kid sometimes!" The six year old declared, her short brown hair breezing about her head as her eyes, so much like Yusuke's, studied the grounds in search of their next activity. Kurami also knew that though she liked Yue and she was her friend, a lot of other kids were scared of Yue because of her forceful attitude and bossiness.

Kurama parked his car and met Yusuke and Hiei at the carnival's entrance. Yusuke looked a little worried as he regarded Kurama's approach. "Kurama, you should stay in the car. This will drain your energy. I don't want Hiei to kill me for not warning you."

Kurama frowned. "No! I'm going Yusuke. I don't care want Hiei thinks." He said with a glare at his husband.

"No, you're not, Fox. You're staying here. My pregnant husband isn't getting weak." Hiei jumped in the conversation and underlined his stubbornness by crossing his arms.

"What do you care, Hiei!" Kurama snapped, patience worn out. "I'm going if you like it or not." He said, shoving past them.

"Huh." Yusuke marveled as he walked after Kurama, Hiei at his side. "Kurama must still be mad at you for dancing with that chick at the club."

"Hn, how about your woman, Detective?"

Yusuke sent Hiei a playful grin. "Oh, she's not mad at me anymore. I should get in more trouble more often—make up sex is the best!"

Hiei snorted. "I had no desire to hear that."

"Too bad!" Yusuke barked out. "But Kurama is still mad at you. Did he tell you why? He should be over it by now."

Hiei clenched his jaw and shot Yusuke a murderous look. "I should kill you."

At the serious tone Yusuke shot Hiei a nervous glance. "What did I do?"

"Don't be stupid. You're the one who told me to take off my wedding ring."

Yusuke sighed and shrugged. "Well, yeah, so you could let loose and have a little fun. I didn't think Kurama would catch you in the act."

Not wanting to argue how many things were wrong with that statement, Hiei stalked ahead a few paces and talked loud enough to be heard by the other two. "Yusuke, you keep looking. I'll use my Jagan Eye to locate them." He reached out and grabbed Kurama's arm. "Fox. You can stop now. I'll look for them with my Eye."

Kurama tried to yank away his arm but Hiei grabbed him and lifted him so he was carrying the fox. Kurama only struggled a little, not wanting to fall and harm that baby. But that didn't stop him protesting verbally.

"Let go of me, Hiei! I don't even want to be near you right now, much less let you touch me! So it's best you put me down now."

"I don't care what you say, Kurama. I will not let my husband pregnant wear himself out unnecessarily." And with that Hiei jumped up in order to find a high place to use his Jagan Eye. Kurama kept silent, the look on his face disgusted and murderous.
