Ch. 2: Wistful Dreams and Remembrances

He slumped down in a chair once he was alone. It wasn't long before exhaustion kicked in sending him into a light sleep.

As time went by a smile graced his face. He dreamt about how perfect life would be if his wife were still here, Hiei always did.

It was funny in a sense. Three years ago if you would have told him he would ever be in love, he would have laughed- scratch that, he would have kicked your ass.

A slight sound caught his ears causing him to drift out of his little world with a sigh.

"Hn... I guess it's like they say; Better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all..."

The sound became louder now to his ears and he smirked before standing to goto his room where his child laid.

He slowly opened the door and the sound of cooing and babbling filled the room, "He's going to be a talkative one... Just like his mother... If it weren't for the spiky hair and those odd brown eyes, one would say it wasn't my kid... But he's all her... At least one would hope."

Hiei leaned over the crib and Kitshu's eyes looked up and he beamed before reaching out a hand. It opened and closed slowly before babbling started again.

With a small chuckle the father kissed the palm of the hand causing little gurgles to sound and Kitshu also tried to wiggle away.

"Where do you think you're going little man?" he laughed and lightly tickled his son'ssides causing more laughs and squirming from the five month old.

Abruptly the phone rang and Hiei looked up before placing a finger to his lips, "Shhh..."

The phone rang again and Hiei answered, "Hello, Hiei Jaganishi speaking, who is calling?"

"Hello Hiei, this is Shuichi. How are you tonight?"

Hiei quirked an eyebrow, "I'm still alive, aren't I? How did you get my number?"

A nervous chuckle made it's way over the phone, "Miss Kai gave it to me. I just wished to find out a bit about what it is an assistant advertiser does-"

"Look, it's good to see you're interested in the job and all, but you couldn't have waited until tomorrow? Secondly I thought Mukuro said you had plenty of experience, so wouldn't you know?"

"Um... I believe what she meant by experience is I've made posters and such. All of which are said to be very clever and creative... other than that and a masters degree in psychology, I'm clueless."

He shifted the phone to his other ear before settling himself down on his bed, "So I'll be working with a newbie? Wonderful... Well, I suppose I'll explain it all tomorrow... and don't call my house phone if you need to get in touch with me, call my cell."

"But I don't have-"

After clicking the phone off he puffed, "A newbie got my old job... What's next? A dog?"

A whimper and a small grunt called his attention to the child, "Kitshu... you didn't..."

With a quick sniff he got his answer and scrunched up his nose, "As soon as you can walk I'm potty training you mister. That is disgusting."

After placing Kitshu on the changing table, dumping the soiled diaper, cleaning and powdering the bottom, he laughed, "Come on stop moving, you need to wear your diaper."

A little while later the man finally conquered the quest and left his child in just the diaper, "Too hot huh? Fine. Let's watch t.v."

That's what happened for the remainder of the night before the young one feel asleep. Once Hiei placed Kitshu in the crib he went to bed himself.

Hehe, a little filler chapter, short but sweet, please review after the teaser, will be for next chapter and future chapters...

"Hello? Yukina can you met me outside your building? I'm running a bit late and-"

"Call me Hiei. Brown nosing gets you no where."

"What kind of products does this company make?"

"Oh, who's this little cutey?"

"Yukina? My I would never have known! How are you? Is this your husband?"

"Hiei why don't I take you out for dinner tonight? It's best if we get a bit more acquainted if we're going to be working together."
