9 Months of Maternity

Chapter 10- The Death of a Loved One.

Inside his womb, a child is growing, its aura is getting stronger and stronger as each day passes, it is the living fruit of Kurama and Hiei's love, and it is their child. Two months had passed, the growing fetus is now three months old, and it ate most of Hiei's energy, making Hiei loose all his odds for self-protection for himself and his child. Two long months had passed, Kurama, never came. Sadness, loneliness, and fear have been brought about the fire demon for so long.

Hiei opened his eyes awaking from his cold nights sleep, Hiei didn't have the privilege to even have a comfortable bed to rest in. He turned outside the Ice glass seeing the usual Toya guarded him 24/7. Hiei sighed, he felt very cold. Wires were connected on his abdomen, monitoring the baby, he attempted to take it out, but there was no use it was stuck like glue on his body.

For two months, Hiei has been cooperating with the Koorime elders very well; he needed to, for his survival, and his child's survival. He would only get three meals a day, he was only allowed to wash himself every week, and he wasn't allowed to go out of the Ice Glass. Hiei didn't have privacy either, Toya was alwaysthere watching him, every night before midnight the Koorime elders would visit Hiei to check on the progress of his child, every two weeks a physic healer (someone like Genkai) would come by and check up on him.

Hiei couldn't help but think of the Youko, where can he be? Why isn't he with him now, it has been two months how come he never came back to rescue him yet? Doesn't he care about him? The child? These thoughts entered Hiei's mind, again, and again. He felt anger, loneliness, and betrayal whenever he thought about Kurama.

The door opened, Toya checked on the person who came by, as expected, it was the four main elders. It was unusual of them to visit in the morning. They went to Hiei, they were about to tell Hiei something.

"Hiei," The first elder began.

Hiei smirked at them, giving them an "Hn" for an answer.

"We have news for you." The second elder said.

"I am sure you'll be very interested in knowing, what happened to your precious Youko." The third one said.

By the time the elders said Youko's name, it got Hiei's attention. "What! Kurama! Where is he!" Hiei said excitedly and yet afraid.

"Don't get your hopes to high, Hiei. Two months ago, the Youko came to rescue you." The fourth one started.

"What! Kurama! What did you do to him?" Hiei yelled from the inside of the Ice Glass.

"Youko Kurama found the floating island of the Koorime, he was on his way going here he was close to actually rescuing you, Hiei. However, unfortunately, Itsuki, came to stop him, Kurama battled with Itsuki, it was a real fight. Both parties put everything into it. However, Itsuki was much stronger than that Youko of yours, Kurama tried to change into the fox but deeply failed, and it was too late for him to change with the situation he was in. Obviously Kurama didn't have spirit energy left in him, causing him to loose."

"What?" Hiei whispered, shocked by what he heard.

"After the battle, Itsuki, the spell master, killed your precious Youko Kurama." The first elder said with a grin in her face, and so as the rest of the elders.

"No…" Hiei's eyes were wide open; he was dumbfounded, his fox, Kurama, was killed. Now all hope was lost, not only was his child going to be taken away from him, now his fox was dead. Hiei lost all his sense of dignity, hope, and strength, not everything meant anything. Hiei could have broken down, his source of strength was now gone. Thinking of a dull, miserable life to come ahead of him. Hiei slowly broke down into tears.

"Hiei, we decided to tell you this after two months because we don't want to strain yourself, it wouldn't be too good for the child if ever we told you sooner." The second elder said.

Hiei didn't say anything, for such a long time, he never cried. Now he couldn't help to stop his tears from falling, slowly one by one Tear gems fell from his eyes sliding from his cheek and dropping on the bed. His tears were red with the mixture of black. It was unusual, it were Hiei's.

"Two weeks from now, a physic healer will be visiting; according to the progress of your child she said that it will be time to determine the gender of your child. And you know that the betterment of your child's future will be determined by the gender of that kid." Said the third elder.

Hiei didn't say anything at all, he still wept. Pouring all his heart, through his tears.

"Hiei,"

"Forget it, we'll leave him now, he has to learn how to accept that the Youko is now dead." The first one said.

All of them agreed, "We'll be coming back later tonight Hiei." The second one said.

"Good day." The third elder said as they left the room. Leaving Hiei and Toya again, back to their normal everyday routine.

Hiei wept, he didn't want to show anyone he could cry, but his fox was dead, he didn't even know it has been two months since the death of Kurama. He couldn't do anything, it was all hopeless.

Toya offered Hiei his breakfast, "Eat." Toya said coldly. Hiei ignored Toya, Toya left the food by Hiei, Hiei didn't mind the food, and he couldn't care more. Toya left Hiei, to be alone.

'Kurama! How dare you die on me! How can you leave me with our child in this kind of situation! Kurama, don't you care about us? Our family? It is not only you who are having a hard time with what has been going on, but me as well. Now that you're gone…Fuck you to hell! You said you would always protect me! You said you would always be by our side whenever we need you! What kind of son-of-a-bitch promise was that! Kurama…' Hiei closed his eyes shut, thinking about his fox, and all the memories Kurama left with him.

"KURAMA HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! HOW DARE YOU DIE ON ME!" Hiei shouted, pouring his heart out. Hiei felt like his heart was being torn a thousand times, it hurt too much. It wasn't good for him knowing that he was pregnant; the pressure was too much he couldn't handle it.

With the emotions Hiei had, his energy grew selfishly Hiei's spirit energy grew to its maximum, the spirit energy that Hiei used to feed his growing child was used for himself, Hiei's spirit energy grew, black flames appeared all around him, causing for the Ice Glass to melt intensively. Hiei's eyes were blank with so much sadness and anger. Toya was shocked as to see what was happening to the fire demon, he released him most deadly attack to Hiei enabling to stop him the Evil Flute Hail Storm. Nevertheless, there was no use, Hiei's flames were so strong, a product of an S class demon. The wires on his automatically removed (its only stuck when the demon has a very low spirit energy), as the black flames gotten closer to Toya it instantly knocked him out, it didn't kill him, Hiei still had control of it.

The Black Flames of Hiei was running through the room, it caught the attention of the elders who were in the ground floor of the tower. Hiei left the room, with his speed, in a matter of seconds he was right in front of the Koorime elders who watched him with fear.

"You! You bastards killed Kurama! UNFORGIVEABLE!" Hiei suddenly released his Dark Dragon of the Darkness Wave technique, killing all the four main elders and all that the dragon can touch.

From the room in the second floor two ice maidens were held captive there, Rui, and Hiei's sister Yukina. They saw through the window that black flames burned half of the village. They were astounded, they knew from who the black flames were.

"Oh no! Onisan!" Yukina shouted, she was so afraid, she ran going out of the dungeon, no use it was locked. "Someone! Get me out of here! My brother needs me! He is in danger! Please let me out!" Yukina was banging the door, begging anyone to open the door, but there was no one in the tower but Rui and Yukina, the tower was also half burnt it would have fallen anytime.

"Yukina, push the door with your maximum strength, its not locked!" Rui said as she stood up and went to push the door.

Yukina nodded, and then they pushed together. The door broke falling on the ground; the place was burning by the flames of a demon. It was hard to get out of the tower.

"Onisan!" Yukina shouted as she and Rui were trying to escape out of the tower. The bricks were all falling, locking Yukina and Rui there. There was a way out, but with this one way out, only one can survive.

"Yukina, go!" Rui said.

"But Rui,"

"Go! Your brother needs you more than he needs me, go! Before anything bad happens to him and his child!" Rui said shouting while the bricks of the dungeon.

Yukina almost broke into tears "Thank you Rui." She said as she hugged her, before she left. Rui just gave her life away for Yukina enabling her to rescue her brother. Yukina left without looking back, she deeply treasured what Rui did for her, Rui way one of the elders, the fifth one, even if she was an elder she was different from the others, she cared for Hiei, unlike the other elders.

"Hiei, I hope you live a good life after this. Now everything has come to its end." Rui said smiling. The tower broke down in a matter of minutes after Yukina left, Rui was left there, and she is killed.

Yukina began to look for her brother, despite of the island being burnt, she didn't care very much. All she wanted to do is to keep hold of her brother, making sure that he and his child is safe.

"Life is useless, why did you have to leave? Kurama." Hiei was in the edge of the island the island was burning, all the ice was melting. Hiei still wasn't himself, he lost all his energy giving off the Dragon of the Darkness Wave, and nothing was left now. Slowly Hiei lost all his consciences, he closed his eyes, Hiei fell from the island again, and he was falling.

"Brother!" Yukina was too late, she couldn't get to her brother anymore, and he was thrown away, again, like when he was still a baby. Yukina cried she couldn't save her brother; all she could do was shouting his name.

It was raining; it was caused by the ice that melted from the island, everyone who lived in the island died, because of the black flames. Now the Koorime Island was dead, nothing of the ice maidens existed anymore.

"Strange, it is raining." Coco the wife of the present king, king Eiki (in the last saga, there was a tournament, who will determine the king of Makai, Eiki the friend of Raizen won as the king) said as she and her husband were island hoping trough all the different islands in Makai. They were riding a creature that could fly; the creature had the face of a bird, wings of the butterfly, fur of a bear, and legs of a horse.

"You think?" Eiki turned to his wife.

"Yeah, it's only raining in one spot." She looked right above, she noticed something. "That is the Koorime island right?" She asked her husband.

"You're right. It's the island of ice," Eiki said.

"Hmm…strange do you think its melting?" Coco turned to her husband.

"I am not sure." They were below the island. All of a sudden, someone fell on the back of the creature where Eiki and his wife were.

"Woah! What was that? Did someone just fall?" Coco was shocked.

"Let me check it out." The Pinked face demon king slowly walked towards the unconscious creature. He made a grip to see who it was. "I am sorry, but may I know what your name is? This ride is privately for me and my wife, so may I--" As Eiki turned the body, he saw that it was Hiei.

"Hiei!" Eiki exclaimed.

"Eiki! Who is that? Is it trouble?" Eiki's wife ran to her husband, and saw that Hiei was the unconscious creature that fell. "Hiei! The heir to Mukuro's land!"

Eiki examined Hiei, looking if there was any part of him that was damaged. When he got to his abdomen, he was shocked. "Coco, we need to go to Mukuro's territory, Hiei is in deep danger!"

"Eiki, what's going on!" Coco asked out of nervous.

"Go! We don't have much time, I'll explain on our way there!"

Coco nodded. She commanded the creature to turn back; they were on their way to Mukuro's territory.

A Tear gem fell on the blank black background, it was read with black.

'Kurama,'

Hiei appeared.

'Kurama, why did you…'

There was a sudden crying, it sounded like a baby crying.

'I am sorry. I didn't mean to cause you any harm.'
