Kurama was sitting at his desk, his pencil tapping against the wood as he pondered a math question. It was not that he didn't understand it but that he couldn't keep hold of his concentration long enough to actually find the answer to the problem. The Fox's mind kept wandering back to Hiei and Botan. He was quite proud of his friend for finding a someone he loved but he could only wonder how long it would be before the two mated with each other. He was hoping that was the reason why he hadn't seen them in a day or two but one can't be too hopeful when it comes to Hiei.
His pencil seemed to tap louder as he mind wondered. He noticed the tone in picth and dropped his pencil. The tapping continued and it was coming from his window. With a small smile he opened the window and allowed his fire demon friend in. Kurama's senses tingled and it seemed that Hiei's scent had changed some. The Fox turned to his best friend and looked right at his shoulder and noticed a small portion of the bite mark Botan had given him. With a smirk, he sat upon his bed and patted the spot next to him for Hiei to sit down. The fire demon declined and leaned against the wall. Kurama would think that Hiei would be happy at that moment and ready to show him that the two were mated but the no longer stout fire demon wasn't. He was leaned against the wall, head leaned back, eyes closed, and arms crossed. His foot pressed against the wall making his knee bent thus giving him an air of annoyance and irritation.
"So I see you marked her and she marked you. I'm very happy for you both." Kurama smiled. Hiei opened his eyes and looked at him.
"Well I'm glad you're taking it so well." Hiei growled. Kurama once again patted the spot beside him and his friend sighed but sat down. There was no use in fighting about it.
"What happened?" Kurama asked gently. Hiei sighed and stared at the wall ahead of him.
"The toddler came after we had claimed each other. He didn't take it too well and fired the Onna..." Hiei didn't finish and Kurama waited patiently. He knew the ex-convict would tell him.
"She told him that he was only angry about it because she didn't love him back..." Hiei paused, snarling quietly at the memory, "And He told her he would never love a baka ferry onna like her and that she could have found a better choice than me."
Kurama growled as he heard this. Botan was like his little sister and no one could talk to her that way. Then he turned to Hiei, and as if reading the Fox's mind (which he wasn't.) he answered the question lingering on the tip of his best friend's tongue.
"I went over and threatend him. I didn't kill him because I knew the Onna would get upset with me if I did. But I did tell him that next time he did anything like that, whether Botan liked it or not, I would kill him." Hiei said. Kurama knew his friend didn't want him to comment on the fact he used her real name instead of calling her Onna.
"She said she doesn't want to work for him anymore and she wouldn't mind working for someone like Mukuro. I refused to allow that because I know how jealous Mukuro would get. I need to get her job back, Fox and since you're presuassive in a calming manner I need you to help me with this." Hiei gritted his teeth as he said the word help. He wasn't one to normally ask for assitance in anything but this situation was a different one. He had already threatened the brat but that didn't work. He knew how good Kurama was at getting people to do what he wanted.
"I'll help you." Kurama said and stood up. He walked to his door and Hiei followed. He went down the stairs and, even being the stealthy fox he was, without turning around his mother asked him where Hiei and him were going. The fire demon was surprised she sensed him. She turned around from baking to stare at the stunned men's faces and she couldn't help but laugh.
"It's a mother's intuition." She explained. Kurama told her that he would be back soon but what he had to do didn't leave much time to explain. He promised he would explain after he came back and she agreed. Then the two demon's left and headed for spirit world. It was a silent trip but no words were needed. Once they reached the building the halls were empty. The ferry girls and orgres were terrified of Hiei and Kurama didn't look too happy either so it was best just to stay away from the two. When they reached Koenma's office doors Hiei took notice that he got them fixed pretty fast. He'd have to fix what was done to his fine job of destruction. With a simple kick to the middle of the doors they fell in a heap of debris and dust. There was an aggitated groan and when the fog dispersed Koenma was found to be in his chair coughing it out of his lungs. When he noticed the two demons, he backed up.
"Hello Koenma." Kurama said in an eerily calm voice that, to anybody listening, would inform you that danger was soon to be issued out by the pink haired man. He advanced on Koenma and pushed the godling into a corner, cowering. His smile wasn't a smile at all but more so a warning. His eyes held fire and his voice held danger in it. The prince could only hope to survive this time.
"H-hello Kurama." Koenma hadn't meant to stutter but the fear in him triggered it. Kurama could probably kill the ruler in less than a second and then his father wouldn't be able to help him at all. He could only hope that the ex convict was in an agreeable mood and he could bargin with him.
"So I hear that you said something to Botan that upset her. Is this true?" Though Hiei hadn't ever said Botan had gotten upset, Kurama knew the ferry girl well enough to know she did. Koenma meekly nodded his head and Kurama's smile widened into a very terrifying grin.
"And that you fired her?" Another nod from the prince.
"So are you going to apologize to her and give her a job back?" Koenma sighed with relief in his head and then nodded to answer Kurama's question. The Fox's smile became gentler and he pulled back so that the prince didn't have to cower in the corner. The godling stood up and straightened himself out. He would have walked back to his desk but Kurama just wouldn't allow that. The ex-convict wasn't done with him yet.
"Are you ever going to say these things to Botan ever again?" Kurama asked. Koenma shook his head and a smirk grew onto the pink haired man's face. He was quite pleased with the answers he got and he backed up enough so Koenma could pass him. The prince took the opporutunity and went to his desk. Calmly and cooly Kurama walked over to his desk and stood behind his chair. He leaned down so he could be close to Koenma's ear.
"If I ever hear about you messing with Botan, then Hiei won't be the only one you'll have to deal with." Kurama whispered and then with a smile left the office.
"I'll be back with the ferry Onna tomorrow. If you leave for 'vacation' then I will seek you out and beat your little godling body to a pulp." Hiei threatened and walked off. Koenma gulped with fear and was sweating across the brow lightly. He wiped it on his sleeve and then sighed while looking at the destroyed doors. He would have to get those fixed again.
Hiei didn't walk back to his home with Kurama. The Fox did a well enough job and Hiei just wanted to get back to Botan to tell her she got her job back. A small smile graced his lips as he reached the door of their aprtment. He knew it was unlocked and he gently opened it and stepped in. He shut it quietly but as soon as he did he was glomped by an excited ferry girl. Hiei was toppled to the ground and had Botan sitting on his waist with a huge smile on her face. She batted at his bangs and he just stared at her with a cocked eyebrow.
"I have news." Botan said, her smile somehow getting larger. Hiei couldn't help but allow a smirk to come to his lips. The blue hair woman giggled at his smirk.
"We're pregnant!" She shouted and hugged him, though it was a tough position to hold she managed. Hiei held her back with slightly wide eyes. Though he was happy the shock was over riding it. He pulled her back slightly as a question occured in his head.
"How?" Botan's face fell into contemplation.
"Well at least I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. I feel like it. I've never heard of a ferry girl getting pregnant before...but then again they don't fall in love much either." Botan said. She got off Hiei and sat cross legged on the floor. Her face was in total concentration. Then Hiei remembered a ningen product that could tell if a woman was pregnant or not.
"Why don't you take that ninjen pregnant test thing?" He asked.
"It wouldn't show up this early. It shows later." Botan said while thinking. Hiei gently grabbed her arm and pulled her into a standing position.
"We'll go ask Koenma. Also the Fox and I got your job back." Hiei said. Botan smiled at this and then pulled out her oar and flew them to spirit world. They landed in front of Koenma's office which didn't have any doors. The blue haired spirit looked at Hiei and he shrugged his shoulders and walked in. She decided she wouldn't ask what happened because she had a good idea about what did occur. Koenma looked up at them both and looked away quickly when he met Hiei's glare.
"Botan, I'm sorry for what I said to you. You were right and I was jealous. I didn't mean what I said and you can have your job back." Koenma said. Botan jumped up and down and hugged Hiei. He hugged her back and then she remembered the reason they were there.
"Um Koenma, can ferry girls get pregnant?" She asked. Koenma sighed and looked down. He knew that this would come.
"Well it's complicated. The chances of a pregnancy going right with a ferry girl are at a very small percentage." He said.
"How small?" She asked him and sat in a chair that was in front of his desk. Hiei took a seat beside her.
"0.01 percent of a chance of a pregnancy going semi-right." This wasn't going to be easy for him to explain.
"What do you mean 'semi-right' toddler?" Hiei was getting rather annoyed. He wanted children and he would make sure it would go completely right or else hell would pay.
"That percentage is the highest percentage in ferry girl pregnancy...and it's reffering to either deformed, mentally retarded, or mental disordered children, whether the father is demon or not. This is why not a lot of ferry girls bother themselves with falling in love because their maternal instincts kick in and the risks are high." Koenma rubbed his temples. Today was not a good day for the young prince.
"What's the percentage for a ferry girl pregnancy going completely right?" Botan asked. Koenma took in a deep breath. He knew that question was coming sooner or later and he was wishing never. He looked up and met Botan's eyes.
"We don't know." Botan cocked her head to the side in confusion.
"What do you mean, Koenma?" Hiei though had caught on. He knew just what Koenma meant and it was crushing his heart.
"We've never had a ferry girl pregnancy go right that is recorded." Koenma said. Botan's eyes watered up but she bit her lip to keep herself from crying. Koenma looked away to the far wall.
"This is the reason I got so upset with you. I knew that this would happen and you both would want children. Another reason I wanted you to chose me is since I'm a god then the pregnancy would have a higher chance of going right." Koenma turned to look at Botan. "I just want you to be happy and I know that this is tough for you because the both of you want children. You can try but I honestly can't make any promises."
"We'll make sure it goes right Koenma! Hiei is the best demon in the world and his children can survive and kill off any mutations that arise!" Botan yelled while standing up. Hiei knew the words that were going to come out of the prince's mouth before he even said them.
"That means killing even themselves." Botan's heart stopped for a beat and she dropped to the chair in tears. Koenma could only watch on as Hiei tried to comfort his best ferry girl who couldn't help but have an emotional break down. He sighed and walked out to leave them alone. He said all he could and gave them all the information he could and that was the best he was able to do.
Well there should be a few more chapters explaining her pregnancy. I hope you liked this one. Please review.
