Lol have fun.
BTW, Sorry late update. I have a few more papers to do though so I have been busy. Guess what, t is like midnight here and the last time I went to sleep was at around 8 in the morning earlier today only to wake up again at 10 because I had to prepare for a commercial. I am so tired. And I got into an argument with someone, I need to remember that I bench more than the average girl so what I think i just a rather weak push can lead to having someone's face in the wall. Totally her fault. But dude I have been writing this damn chapter for two weeks! Why!
Happy Halloween, this chapter has nothing to do with it though. You will hear a little about Kurama though.
Also just incase you want to check it out.

Chapter 4: Explain to me the way of the Koorime
Hiei wouldn't believe it, nope, he wasn't going to believe that he actually had a baby growing inside him -especially the Oaf's child. Kurama must think he's retarded or something, if he was going to believe the fox about some speck that was found in his stomach. Who knew what that was? It was probably a tumor or something. But yea, it definitely wasn't a baby.
Yes, Hiei did agree at first that the beast in his stomach could possibly be a baby earlier. But, he was dizzy and all he wanted to do was sleep, he would have agreed to a lot of things after puking his guts up. So technically, that didn't count.
And he would have questioned the Fox on it after he recovered from his 'sick spell', but Hiei had been forced back into the Makai to deal with Mukuro and whatever the hell she wanted with him. That was two weeks of nothing but training an army that was hardly even necessary anymore, not with the way times were changing. But what Mukuro wanted, Mukuro got. And Mukuro wanted a fucking army, so Hiei had to give her one. Stupid ole bitch.
But eh...she was pretty good in bed, so Hiei didn't care. Not much at least.
It was a full 3 weeks before the demon even stepped foot into the Ningenkai. And rest assured, the Fox was waiting for him. In his tree.
"Hiei, how was your stay in the Makai?" Kurama asked, devoid of the cast and bandages, his silky red hair gleamed in the red japanese sun. Eyes as green as the forest leaves stared up at him with a hint of amusement.
"Why are you in my tree?" Hiei asked instead. Easily jumping into said tree, despite how tired his body felt. After working Mukuro's men into shape and throwing up at every meal with barely any sleep. Hiei was ready to drop dead...but Mukuro had to go first.
"Because I knew you would come," Kurama said, taking in Hiei's worn appearance, of course the fire demon had seen worse days but with the baby and the abysmal Makaian dinners, Hiei looked like complete shit...And smelled like it too.
"Hiei," Kurama started, wrinkling his nose in distaste. "Why do you smell like rotten blood?"
Kurama, normally one for tact was completely lacking in it today. But could you really blame him, it was Hiei he was dealing with. Now Kurama's old and dealt with many blunt and less mannered demons in his time but for some reason, it was hard to bring himself to be tactful with Hiei, sigh best friends, he supposed. Or maybe it had to do with everything that was going on in the recent weeks that had him under his game instead of on top of it. That was what the young people were calling it nowadays, wasn't it?
"Because Fox," Hiei growled, ignoring the Fox inner monologue. "I need to whip some lowly demons into shape. I can't help it if some die along the way."
"Now Hiei...you're an S-class demon, I hardly think it fair to use such force against lowly C-class demons."
"Don't give me that shit, Kurama," Hiei grumbled, so tired that he practically reclined himself into the Fox's lap- much to Kurama's distaste over the smell of rotten blood. ...The Fox always did like it fresh. "Just because you're getting up there in age doesn't mean you're not the demon you were before. How many men were rumored to have died when you trained the great Bankotsu's army? 3,000...and now the numbers can barely reach past 200 hundred whenever you decide on training Youmi's pathetic excuse for an army." ...Seriously, Youmi's army was pathetic. Hiei could do away with them all with one flick of his dragon's tail.
"Now Hiei, is that really necessary," Kurama chided softly, while quietly running his fingers through the demon prince's hair.
"It's not like I'm hurting his FEELINGS, Fox. Unlike you, I didn't decide to have him killed. Though I heard a rumor that around that time Youmi could have been pregnant at the time."
Kurama's hand stilled. Which didn't go unnoticed by a very tired Hiei.
"His kind are able to impregnate themselves aren't they, Kurama? But they are also able to take sperm from any demon, But it's always a high chance that the child will be born male. ...Heard some of the soldiers talking about it. Didn't know what to think about Youmi pushing a baby out of wherever."
"...Yes. This is true. Youmi's kind are more app to bare male born, but the ratio between female to male differ greatly when two male partners share fluids. Much like the Koorime tribe, a male is almost guaranteed." Kurama said coolly, resuming his run through the fire demon's hair.
"Hn."
"..."
Hiei would never admit openly that he liked the Fox more when he played with his hair. His pride couldn't take that, but his body showed it freely, with the minute adjustments or the small purrs, and the way those red eyes squinted so slightly whenever Kurama found a particular spot. Kurama would have laughed at this, but he really couldn't stand to be on the wrong side of Hiei's blade. Restraining the demon was like trying to climb an oiled pole. Unnecessary.
"Hiei," Kurama called, putting the matter of Youmi aside for now; he decided to go ahead with his plan.
"What is it?" he murmured.
"Have you been eating correctly,"
"...Are you still on about that pregnancy joke, Fox it is not funny." Hiei glared up at the Fox, tempted to just leave but knew it would be a waste of time, he barely had any energy left to do anything, much less run away form a fox.
"Hiei, I'm over 4,000, do you really think I would joke around about this, especially with you?" Kurama asked, tempted to glare right back, but that would be childish.
"I'm not pregnant," Hiei said, resolute, because damn it; he refused to believe it. He just needed to work out harder. He was getting older after all.
"Yes you are, Hiei. I'm glad the Koorime are resilient otherwise that child of yours would be dead by now," Kurama said, tactful as ever.
"I'm not pregnant," Hiei muttered.
"Why are you so adamant about this, Hiei, accept it. Your energy levels are reading that you're eating for 2. You are a Koorime, it isn't uncommon for males to bare children. I am able to bare them and so are Toushins. It isn't odd at all. You act as though you have something to hide-
...Wow ...it all becomes so clear now.
"Hiei,"
But the fire demon was silent, eyes closed tensely waiting for something to be figured out but Kurama had to say, he was surprised.
"Hiei...I don't care if you like to sleep with men. I myself partake in both sex, there's no shame in baring another male's young. Is it your mate?"
So...to say Hiei sighed in relief wouldn't actually be accurate. The correct thing to say was that said fire demon heart dropped while ALSO sighing in relief. The Fox wasn't too far off, but as long as he never figured it out, Hiei wouldn't open his mouth.
"I have no mate, and I am NOT ashamed to sleep with men, Fox. Even if it is bottoming. But I am not pregnant and the fact that I have sex with men is not going to change that." Hiei insisted, but also hinting at the Fox to shut the hell up.
Sadly, the Fox never listened.
"Hiei, as you lay on me right now, I can feel the almost human heart beat of your child, it's small but it is still forming. Your stomach has grown and you're in rut. Your ki is off balance from feeding your child and you have no ki right now to even more yourself from my lap. You are pregnant, you will not deny it, Hiei." Kurama growled, daring Hiei to prove him wrong.
Damn...It was true, after three continuous weeks of training and puking and sex, Hiei's body couldn't take anymore. His energy levels was so pathetic that the lowest class demon could take him out. He had honestly wasted a good amount of energy coming back here, many demon with some stupid idea that killing Hiei would bring them fame had attacked him. What was usually an easy fight turned out to be a difficult task, the fire demon had to even use his full demon strength and the power of his Jagan to take them out, and there was only 300 of them. It was not his best moment, and now to face what could actually be true, Hiei was at odds with himself. The part that knew something wasn't right with his body was warring against the much larger side that insisted he was just sick.
...But Hiei hadn't actually been completely honest with the Fox, how could be honest with the red head when he could be honest with himself. If Hiei were to be honest then he would be admitting that he could very well be pregnant, but that would also mean that he would have to admit to something else that could be important.
Hiei sighed.
Hiei sighed...that wasn't a good sign, Kurama thought, staring down and the childish face of his comrade, though Kurama was older and far wiser now that in all his 4,000 years of life, he could never understand the fire demon that he shared his teen life with. The man who forced him back outside in the real world when Kurama was intent on living a human life. A man who never cried, walked off even the most fatal wounds, had a smart comment at every turn and was almost as brash as the detective if not for the Jagan. ...Yes, that implanted eye, that allowed so much invincibility and so much vulnerability. Kurama could see Hiei's thought if allowed or forced, yet he could make no sense of the jigsaw puzzle that was in the mans mind. A simple sigh, Hiei just didn't sigh after thinking, it just wasn't done. So...what was he hiding.
Perhaps a lover. But Hiei had admitted to having a lover.
Perhaps a human lover. ...Aah...
"Kurama,"
"Hm," Kurama hummed, reveling in this new theory, it explained everything form the way, Hiei avoided admitting a lover to Kurama. Not normal considering, but then again Hiei only tolerated humans, he even worked with them to help solidify the bridge between demon world, but Hiei didn't like humans, so he wouldn't have slept with one willingly, but who other than Yuusuke and maybe Genkai could take down the S-class demon, much less fuck him around the time his Koorime blood allowed him a child to conceive.
...Maybe Kuwabara.
Kurama almost laughed at this, but Hiei had begun to speak again,
"You're an old demon, you know more about my history than I do, I will admit that, but did the Yoko ever see a pregnant male Koorime before?"
...
...
Huh, that was...actually a really good question, did he actually know any Koorime when he was fully Yoko. Why didn't he think of that?
...Well...technically 4,000 years of perfect memory was a little hard to sort through.
"...I would have to check my memory to see, but as Shuichi, I can not recall the information as fast as I could if I was in my Yoko form."
"You say this like you can't just turn into Yoko," Hiei replied as though Kurama was the idiot.
"Well..." Kurama started, Hiei opened his eyes staring up at the green eyes that looked away from him.
"Well," Hiei insisted, Kurama was hiding something from him.
"I can't actually turn into Yoko while you are around, Hiei,"
...
"Explain," Hiei demanded, his voice sleepy, his body requiring renewed ki that would only come from a good bath and a long sleep, and possibly sleep.
"Oh my Hiei," Kurama actually seemed shock, by what, Hiei didn't know, but damn it if it wasn't irritating the fuck out of him. "Oh...fuck, I didn't tell you this, but the Koorime are normally kept guarded while in their pregnancy stage." Kurama muttered looking very uneasy.
"FOX! Just get on with it" Hiei growled, angry enough to actually want to hit him, but that would require something he didn't have. Energy.
"No need to get angry, Hiei. The Koorime are one of the rarest species of demon and from what I know. A male almost never happens, a pregnant male has happened only twice. A baby surviving the pregnancy and passing down the bloodline has happened only once. And as far as I'm aware that bloodline died out 400 years ago, when the Koorime were being hunted. And Hiei, I know Yukina cries jewels, but your jewels are the rarest item in the world."
"...My mother's tear gem is special but I don't it is different from Yukina's jewel." Hiei mumbled, listening intently, he held no care for those blasted women, but apparently they just kept coming up in his life. Damn them, he should have killed them when he had the chance.
"No Hiei," Kurama corrected "a male Koorime's tear gems. In my time they were the most sought after gems in the world, they triple the amount of a female's tear gem at it's highest bid, and that's for one. I recall getting my hands on one when I was young, barely passed a thousand a perfect heist that was. The Koorime we captured...such a beautiful man with eyes of the purest silver. Tears as pink as a rose. He-
"Did you kill him," Hiei asked. Head buried in the Fox's warm body. He didn't care either way.
"Hm...no. I kept him ...as a lover for a few decades. I remember Yoko was very particular about him, even more so than Kuronue or Youmi. Though I can understand why, such a good lay he was." Kurama smiled, a genuine smile that Hiei hadn't witnessed before, such a joyous memory that even the fox couldn't help but smile.
"And what happened to him," Hiei was ALMOST afraid to ask. But Kurama was quick to answer.
"Died in a raid one night. I had taken him along; showed him the ropes. I think Yoko may have even loved him. I think he may have loved me as well. Such beautiful eyes, taken out by two arrows that I had been too careless to stop. I was too cocky."
The hardened voice of Yoko was clear in the rising the darkness, gold tinged the forest green eyes as unadulterated hate seeped into them.
"But enough about Hana, he's been dead for three thousand years now. But, one thing about a Koorime, the reason they were so guarded during their pregnancy before they moved to a floating island after the last great slaughter. Koorime's are the rarest form of Succubi and incubus known to these three worlds."
"...Come again." Hiei growled, there was no way his people were a bunch of sexed up demons.
"Well yes...they are. Mainly succubi, with special healing abilities, many were kind in nature and instead of flitting from partner to partner, these demons are able to mate. On top of that they have the gem's. But when a Koorime becomes pregnant, she- like many other demons that are unmated- releases a hormone that attracts demons of a higher or equal rank. A very strange combination that lead to slave trades and nearly extinction. Really, the floating island was for the best. The unbearable cold blocks out the pheromones and a mate cannot find the pregnant Koorime. Many stories told of death by rape for your kind. It was very popular when I was a child.
"Unfortunately Hiei, the pheromones that you're releasing right now while I'm in this human form has forced me to make a hard choice. If you decided to keep this baby. I could protect you from the S-class demons that you are giving signals to, but I can't do this while I am in this human form, but if I switch into Yoko, not even 4,000 years of restraint can help me from forcing my way into you and marking you ruthlessly. And as your friend Hiei, I would rather not be mated to you. No offense.
"But that would mean you would need to find a mate, because I am surprised you haven't been forced into sexual activities with a demon of your rank. Unless of course you count Mukuro, but she probably would realize that your pheromones make her unable to keep off of you...assuming that you two had sex, that is."
Hiei was silent for a long time and this time not because of exhaustion, how could he not have noticed. What he assumed to be Mukuro being impatient and horny was just some hormone making her want to screw him into the ground. But how did he survive training those demons? ... Wait , they weren't S-class. Ok, but what about the Detective, the Fox may be right. How would he escape the Toushin, the stupid demon king with insane powers befitting of an S-class demon?
"Hiei, I would ask you to talk to your lover about this. As far as I know, before I check through Yoko complete memory, is that if a Koorime has a partner that they are sexually active with, then they are normally safe from unwanted suitors." Kurama suggested, practically reading Hiei's mind and dooming him in one swift move.
Hiei had no lover...unless you counted Mukuro and knowing her she would regret that mistake when she realized she mated a sick demon. So she was a no. Although Hiei hadn't really changed his mind, he couldn't deny that the Fox was accurate on most points and though he could trust the Fox, he would have to admit something.
And he would have to admit it now.
If he really were carrying a child, then that would mean...oh fuck.
He was going to have Kuwabara's baby.
"Fox..." he grumbled, head lolling to the side in pain.
"Yes Hiei,"
"...I'm going to sleep now."
And with that he promptly passed out-cough cough- fell asleep.
When Hiei had woken up before it was to a room full of lavender and a stomach full of food. And though the demon couldn't remember Kurama showering, feeding, and laying him in this ridiculously comfortable bed, he couldn't say he didn't appreciate it.
The room he was in was fairly large for a Japanese room with an upraised bed and fluffy covers with a scent undeniable. He was in the Fox's room.
But the Fox wasn't here, in fact the Fox wasn't anywhere within a twenty mile radius which meant one thing. He was visiting the Makai or Rekai.
Rest assured, one glance at the night stand confirmed it all.
Hiei,
I took the liberty of pampering you for the past few days while you slept. I unfortunately have been called away to a trip to America, they want to talk about the demons that have been spotted recently. So I will try to contact you as soon as possible, but I want you to take those pills that are on the counter, they are vital for your pregnancy, I studied the formulas myself. As a Koorime, I hope that you ask your human lover to continuously fornicate with you so that your scent can be masked from high demons. After all you are indisposed and unfortunately Yuusuke would mark you in a heart beat. Oh by the way, he is with me. But we can be in Japan in a heartbeat if needed. Again, just a reminder as a Koorime, you MUST have sex. I mentioned this to Yukina as well- you should really think about telling her that you're related- and she thinks she will be able to find a male or female, if not Genkai herself (GROSS.). But please Hiei your ki is only replenished to its full extent if your body is satisfied. But I must go and meet Yuusuke at the airport, there is plenty of food that does not require cooking so please DO NOT USE THE STOVE.
~Shuichi Minamino
p.s. There are barriers around my home to ward off any demon that you have not accepted, but unfortunately, while they are strong they will not hold for very long. So if a high demon does somehow find you, and I am not back then contact me with your Jagan. I will take the next portal there. Be safe.
Well... that was a bit strange, but nonetheless Hiei found himself swallowing the pills that Kurama had made. Because he trusted Kurama more than any doctor, so who cares if he gave him unmarked pills. He probably created most of the drugs out there in the world today. They tasted like strawberry. Hiei wasn't sure how why or how. But he rather liked the taste of strawberry candy instead of dusty pills.
Stumbling out of that freakishly comfortable bed, Hiei went about his daily routine. Restraining an urge to puke, eating something, Restraining an urge to puke. Showering, restraining the urge to puke. Brushing his teeth, giving into the urge to puke. Showering, and lounging near Kurama's plants, such a good thing the feed themselves otherwise they would have died if left up to Hiei, though he was pretty sure Kurama already knew this.
It was well into the afternoon and Hiei was flipping through Kurama's mail when he came across a letter. A letter from the source of his suppressed feelings.
Without even thinking, Hiei ripped open that letter.
Look man, I can't do this anymore. Ya'll are just a bunch of powerful demons with good looks, I don't belong in your group. I'm just a token, hell the girl...the one I mentioned to you. She said she would rather go roll in a pile of blood than be caught smelling like me. So, I don't know man, I just give up. I'm sorry for Urameshi injuring you, I wish it was me instead. It would have been better that way. But I can't let myself get depressed over that. ...I made it in. They put me on the team. I got a game practice coming up soon, but I thought you and Urameshi were going to the States? But anyways, here's the money I owe you, thanks man. I don't know if I should so I won't put my address. I guess this is the last time we will talk ...or write to each other, Kurama, or do I call you Shuichi in this letter
Ah fuck, I wrote in pen...don't read this...Well, yea. Bye Kurama, you were pretty cool for a girly boy. Just yea, don't attack me with your roses or something next time you see me.
~Kazuma K.
Hiei blankly stared at the ground, where a piece of paper that survived his ripping lay. Picking it up, Hiei, couldn't tell if the numbers written on the paper was a lot but if someone gave him this amount in Makaian money...well he would be suspicious. Was 5,000 UN Euros a lot or no?
But off that, did the Oaf really think that. Well yea, Hiei said it, but come on the Oaf was supposed to figure out that it was necessary. Sigh...nothing much he could do. He couldn't track the Oaf without using too much ki...
or apparently
looking at the return address written on the back of this check.
...
It seems Hiei was going to go look for the Oaf and unfortunately break this terrible news to him.
As he raced from the Fox's apartment, he briefly wondered if Kuwabara would react the same way he had.
He severely hoped not. Orange puke did not look good on his cloak.
Yo! So thats done...Wow I am so tired and I still have German to do and a video to edit later today. Sigh...school sucks. But oh well. Happy Halloween. hope you go trick or treating. I need to find a good Chinese Food dish recipe to make my roommate. Cause she made me lunch last time, so now it is my turn.
