Hiei smiled as he watched his beautiful fox and Kaida sitting on the ground, playing a game. "Okay, can you say 'Daddy?'" Kurama asked pointing to himself with a hopeful expression on his face.

She furrowed her eyebrows in concentration and worked her tiny mouth and brain, trying to figure out how to formulate her word. "Da….dada…dada!" She sounded so pleased with herself as she looked up at him, clapping her tiny hands.

Hiei's heart warmed at the happiness that spread across Kurama'a face, mixed with pure pride for their intelligent daughter. "Oh wonderful Kaida!" Kurama picked her up and nuzzled her gently.

She giggled, wiggling in his grasp with happiness as she leaned over and nuzzled her neck lovingly, her tiny cheek brushing over the fresh mate mark, only a few days old.

"Give her to me, fox." Hiei said holding out his arms, Kurama grinned at Hiei. Hiei had been much happier these last few days with their new daughter to keep him busy and their mating to bring them closer.

Without a word, Kurama handed over little Kaida who settled down in Hiei's lap. She seemed to accept the fact that Hiei couldn't move to do everything with her. At first, when Kurama always showed up to take her out of her crib, she cried for Hiei and reached for him. But now she just seemed to slip into accepting mode and took it in stride.

"Okay, you can now call your daddy, dada. But what about me? Can you call me papa?" Hiei refused to be called mama or mother. He may have carried her, but he wasn't a woman. And daddy was just too….feminine for him. He wanted masculine. So papa was his choice.

She cocked her head up at him, blinking in confusion as she tried to formulate what he was saying to her. "Pa…pa…" She said slowly, as if unsure of her wording.

"Yes! Try again…" Hiei encouraged, reaching up he ran his fingers through her soft hair and said, "Papa…say it." He wasn't as gentle as Kurama in some of his aspects, but he tried.

"Papa! Dada!" She looked between them both for dual praising and she wasn't let down. She got a kiss on the forehead from her papa and a happy nuzzle from her dada.

"She seems to have inherited your intelligence, fox. Good thing." Hiei said with a nod. Him and Kurama were still working through everything, but they were both reassured now and were not going to let anything stand in their way.

Hiei was still struggling to adjust to having a kid, and still being in a wheel chair. It tore him apart that he couldn't always take care of his daughter. Especially at night. Once he was in that bed, he didn't want to get out until morning. It was WAY too hard on him to be moving in and out of that bed all the time.

Much to everyone's popular belief, Hiei was an EXCELLENT father, he spoiled his little girl beyond belief and gave her everything that he could. He showered her in love and was protective of her.

Kurama was proud of his lover, and happy to have him back, unable to fathom why they had fought so much. He himself was still adjusting to taking care of a disabled person, and a child, but Hiei tried to do a lot on his own, which helped.

"They're coming over to talk to me today, koi." Kurama said softly, sitting on the couch, placing Kaida on his lap.

"I know. They're approaching actually." Hiei said, not looking uncomfortable as he reclined back and looked at his lover. "Fox, remind me. I want to talk to you later." Hiei said as the door opened and the rest of the gang looked in.

"Hiei! When did you get back?" Yusuke looked surprised as they all came rushing in. Kaida had only seen them all once in her young life and she was frightened, especially when Yusuke approached her parents so quickly.

When she started to cry loudly, Hiei glared at the group. "You move another inch, you die. Stay put." He reached over as Kurama held her out. Hiei gently took her in his arms and then cradled her to his chest, surprising everyone as he whispered to her soothingly.

She calmed in her crying, looking up at him with wide, trusting eyes. Hiei smiled and kissed her forehead. "Good girl." He said and then set her on his lap and continued to feed his ki into her. "Now you idiots may move." Hiei said, "And no language in front of the baby. One curse word in this time and I'll stab you. She's heard enough of it, she doesn't need to hear anymore. Especially since she's picking up on talking."

"Hn!" She announced as if to punctuate Hiei's point, this just made everyone laugh. She was far too cute to be Hiei and Kurama's daughter.

"So did you too work everything out?" Yukina asked, placing a hand on Hiei's arm gently.

"Hn." Hiei nodded, "Yes, we did. We're mates now, and we're trying our hardest. We still get mad at each other, but we're working on it."

"Yes." Kurama smiled and nodded, "I think we should manage just fine. We still have on subject that we can't seem to decide on though." He said slowly, glancing at Hiei, unsure of how he would react.

Hiei's body visibly stiffened, but he tried to reign in his temper. "I already told you Kurama, we are NOT sending Kaida to a ningen school. I won't allow it. Homeschool her." Hiei said, impressing everyone with how he kept his voice in check.

"But Hiei," Kurama took on a slightly pleading tone, trying to appeal to his mate. "She needs to learn how to socialize, that's a key part of being a person. Admit it Fire-fly, you aren't comfortable in society because you aren't sociable. I don't want that for her." Kurama said softly.

"How about you send her to school for a few years when she's young," Keiko put in her suggestion, "Then take her out because you don't feel its adequate enough for her? That way she can learn basic math skills, and basic reading and social skills and then you build on the rest."

"She's too intelligent! She'll be considered a freak." Hiei growled, holding his daughter close to his chest, protectively.

"How about you two just take her out in society, to the park or places like that every few days?" Genkai stepped in this time. "She'll get social skills, but you two can teach her on your grounds."

Kurama thought about it, that idea did seem to work out just fine…he glanced at Hiei and sighed in defeat, "Alright, I can live with that. How about you?"

"Much better." Hiei said, relaxing as they moved off of the topic. Then he noticed Kaida was wiggling in his lap, trying to get somewhere.

He shocked everyone when he asked softly, "What is it sweetheart? Where do you want to go?" He watched as she lifted her hands and reached for Yukina. Hiei held her out, and Yukina happily took her in her arms.

"Oh Hiei, she's so precious. Kurama she looks so much like you, so calm and intelligent. She'll be a pretty girl when she gets older."

"Pretty doesn't even cover it." Kurama smiled beautifully as he glanced at his mate to finish the rest. Hiei smirked proudly, it almost seemed like his chest puffed out with pride.

"She'll be beautiful. Not pretty, beautiful. She'll be intelligent and a good fighter. Kurama and I are not going to let her go without proper demon training. She'll be a ruthless fighter just like us."

"Say what?" Kuwabara said loudly, his eyes were wide with surprise, making Kaida look up at him with furrowed eyebrows. "You mean you're gonna let her kill people?"

"Of course," Kurama said calmly, reaching over he picked up his tea and sipped it. "She will need to learn how to defend herself and Hiei will help her train. Maybe help her master the Dragon when she gets old enough. If she shows anything for plants, I'll teach her the skills of the rose whip and the Death plant. She's a demon, she needs to learn." Kurama said, a small, proud smile on his face.

Their moment was interrupted when Kuwabara took the reaching baby without permission and Hiei snarled angrily, whipping out his katana to throw at the man.

"What did I do!" Kuwabara said when Yukina quickly took back the child who whimpered in frustration because she didn't get what she wanted.

"Kaida, no." Hiei took her from Yukina and set her in his lap.

"You touched our baby without our permission," Kurama explained gently, trying to smooth the situation over. "Hiei's reaction was just natural, it doesn't matter that she wanted to be held by you. We have to say it's okay. Now Hiei, give her to Kuwabara, he won't hurt her." Kurama gently placed a hand on his arm.

"He'll hurt her! Just look at the oaf! He has no grace. I don't want my daughter getting hurt." Hiei said rudely and cradled her protectively.

"Hiei, if he can hold a kitten and not hurt it, he can hold a baby, a demon no less." Kurama said and took Kaida gently. "Trust me."

Hiei looked at him and then sighed in defeat and looked at Kuwabara. "Fine. Don't hurt her. You'll find your guts spilling on the floor if that happens." Hiei gave in easily because he didn't want to have another argument with Kurama, they were just starting to get along.

All throughout the day, Hiei tried to retrieve something he wanted by himself. But it didn't always work out to his advantage. When he tried to reach the bottle to feed Kaida, Kurama had placed it back too far accidently, and Hiei was unable to reach it.

"Fox!" Hiei called, frustration leaking in his tone.

Kurama handed Kaida to Yukina and hurried into the kitchen, since the kitchen was nearby, everyone could hear what was being said, "Yes koi?"

"Why the he…ck is the bottle so far back on the counter?" Hiei tried to keep his voice level as he held back his glare, and settled for an upset look up at his fox.

"I accidently must have just set it there Hiei, I didn't mean to." Kurama reached over and grabbed the bottle.

"How can you forget that I can't move that easily to grab it?" Hiei demanded, making Kurama's eyes flash.

"As I said, it was an accident, forgive me for not being perfection!" He roughly shoved the bottle into Hiei's hands and walked towards the living room.

Kaida started to cry when she saw how upset her daddy was and held out her hands for him. "Dada…" he strained to reach him.

Kurama couldn't help but smile and take her, "Shh…" He kissed her forehead. "Would you like me to fix everything with your papa?" he asked softly.

She looked up at him, "Hn…" she looked towards the door as Hiei came wheeling back in, with a fresh bottle in tow.

"I'm sorry Kurama," Hiei was the first one to apologize before Kurama could even open his mouth. "I know it's easy to forget and you didn't mean to." Hiei sighed, "Forgive me?"

"I already have koi, I already have. As long as you forgive me for being so insensitive," Kurama kissed his cheek.

"Of course." Hiei took Kaida and gently started to feed her, ignoring the looks he was receiving for being so gentle and so considerate.

For the rest of the day, the group visited, all taking turns of holding the baby. Kaida always wanted to be held by someone, but by the end of the day she went into her daddy's lap and went to sleep.

Kurama took her upstairs to get her ready for bed while Hiei stayed with the group, waving them off. When they were snuggled into bed together, Kurama looked at him.

"What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Hn. We got this in the mail." Hiei reached into his pocket and pulled out a little invitation to a large meeting for disabled people. "I was thinking we should go." Hiei looked up at Kurama hopefully. "I think…this is the boost I need. To know I'm not the only one in this situation."

"Are you sure?" Kurama reached down and stroked his hair. "I think it would easier if I posed a female. I don't want to answer questions about where Kaida came from, I can just say I'm the mother."

"Hn. I think that's a good idea." Hiei nodded, "It's in two days. It's only a few hours away. Are you sure?" Hiei looked up at Kurama.

Kurama gave him a tired, but happy smile. "Anything for you my dragon." He whispered and kissed him gently.
