Hiei was heading back to his tree when he sensed Kurama nearby. Once he got closer to the tree, he realized that Kurama was in it. Hiei cautiously climbed into the tree to see Kurama sitting on the opposite wall with the wolf and her cubs. "When mother said she bought that stuff for you, it meant it was yours to keep," Kurama said and Hiei noticed the sleeping bag, sleeper, and pillow in a pile as well as a small backpack with a dragon on it.

"How come Mesuinu let you in?" Hiei asked.

"I'm a fox remember. I speak wolf. By the way she doesn't appreciate you calling her that."

"But it means female dog doesn't it?"

"In a sense yes but it's more the cursing someone as a female dog."

"Oh I was gonna call her Mama but I didn't know if…" Mesuinu went over to Hiei and rubbed her head against his hand. Kurama stood up and went over to Hiei.

"She doesn't mind having another cub to take care of."

"I'm sorry I left."

"It's okay, Kuwabara said you were feeling homesick. To be honest I expected you to run out before midnight. I was wondering if you'd be interested in having dinner at my house tonight… It'll only be mother and me… You can leave whenever you want." Hiei nodded and they left for Kurama's house.

Hiei followed close behind Kurama as they walked through the door. Hiei was feeling more than a little nervous when Kurama pushed him in front as they walked into the kitchen.

"Mother," Kurama said and Shiori turned around.

"Oh, honey you're home," she said. "How are you Hiei? Are you hungry?" Hiei just looked down at his feet.

"Hiei?" Kurama asked as he knelt in front of him so he could see his face. "Are you okay?"

"He's just being shy Shuichi." They sat down to eat spaghetti, meatballs, and garlic bread. Hiei watched Kurama and tried to eat it that way but had trouble. Without a word Shiori cut Hiei's spaghetti up and gave him a spoon. Hiei really liked it and cleaned his plate before Kurama and Shiori were done.

"You can watch some TV if you want," Shiori told Hiei but he shook his head and stared at his plate.

"Would you like some more?" Kurama asked and Hiei nodded but didn't look up. Kurama gave him more of everything and cut it up. Hiei ate four platefuls before burping. "Say excuse me," Kurama told him as he was doing the dishes.

"Excuse me," Hiei said so quietly that if Shiori was still in the room she wouldn't have heard him.

"Are you full now?" Hiei nodded.

"Can I still watch TV?"

"Sure," Kurama said before turning the TV on. Hiei sat on the couch while Kurama finished the dishes. Shiori came down dressed in night clothes and a robe.

"Thank you Shuichi for doing the dishes," Shiori said. Hiei went over to Kurama and tugged on his sleeve. Kurama looked at Hiei and noticed he seemed a little green. "Is he okay?"

"What's wrong?" Kurama asked Hiei.

"My stomach hurts and… I think I need to go outside," Hiei said quietly.

"I think he just needs some fresh air," Kurama said and led Hiei out the back door. As soon as they got outside and before they were off the porch Hiei lost his dinner.

"Sorry," Hiei said as his feet collapsed under him and he fell to his knees.

"It's okay. I'll hose it off in a little bit. I had a feeling you were going to get sick, the way you ate four platefuls."

"I've never tasted anything so good before."

"Do you feel better now?"

"I wanna go back to my tree."

"I'll walk with you."

"Could you carry me?… My legs won't move."

Kurama was carrying Hiei on his back when he asked, "So where'd you get the dog food?"

"I didn't steal it."

"I wasn't accusing you of stealing. I just want to know who has been keeping this a secret from me."

"Yusuke but I made him promise not to tell anyone."

"Oh."

When they arrived at the tree Hiei was already feeling better and walking. The wolf now known as Mama and her cubs weren't there. Hiei laid on the floor while Kurama found a comfortable place to sit. "Are you planning on staying?" Hiei asked rolling over to face Kurama.

"At least until your Mama comes home," Kurama said with a smile. "I guess that would make me your baby-sitter."

"What's a baby-sitter?"

"Someone who watches someone else's kids when they aren't home."

"Oh okay but if you're staying then you need to be quiet."

"Why?"

"Because I wanna go to sleep." Hiei closed his eyes but stayed facing Kurama.

"You shouldn't take a nap so close to bedtime," Kurama said getting up and going over to the pile of things he brought for Hiei.

"Why not?" Kurama grabbed the rolled up sleeping bag and started to unroll it.

"You'll have trouble sleeping tonight."

"No I won't."

"Alright if you say so. Here get up."

"I don't wanna."

"That again. What do you want this time?"

"I want you to leave me alone so I can sleep."

"Well I want you to sleep in the sleeping bag so you won't have to sleep on the ground." Hiei then opened his eyes and looked at what Kurama had done. Next to him Kurama had made a bed out of the sleeping bag and pillow and had the sleeper laying on top of the sleeping bag. "If you're gonna go to bed this early you might as well do it right."

"Okay." Hiei got up and stripped his clothes before having Kurama help him put the sleeper on. "What about the other thing?"

"What other thing?"

"When your ningen mother put it on me she gave me a pair of underwear."

"You don't wear underwear," Kurama said opening the sleeping bag for Hiei to climb in.

"That's what I told her but she said that they were special underwear and would keep me dry." Kurama stopped in the middle of zipping the sleeping bag closed and stared at Hiei in shock.

"Wait do you mean she gave you one of Shuichi's old bed wetting pull-ups to wear?"

"I don't know but I peed in it while we were watching TV."

"You peed in it?" Hiei nodded. "Why?"

"I thought if I peed my pants you'd let me leave but they didn't get wet." Kurama finished zipping the sleeping bag and sat down.

"You only wear them if you're a bed wetter… so mother must have thought that you were a bed wetter. Are you a bed wetter?"

"No. What's a bed wetter anyway?" Hiei rolled over to face the wall of the tree.

"A bed wetter is someone that pees their pants while they are asleep." Hiei apparently had nothing to say about that. "Hiei have you ever peed in your sleep?" Hiei didn't answer so Kurama got up only to discover that Hiei was out cold. Kurama sat next to Hiei and waited until Mama and her cubs came back for the night before leaving Hiei in their care.
