Well guys this is it, the end of 'And Baby Makes… How Many?'. If you stop at Ryu then baby makes four, but if you include Shura and go clear to Reine then baby makes eight. I think you'll like the personalities I have in mind for them, especially the girls (I hate wimpy girls).

If I write everything I have in my head about these kids this would be a really long chapter. Instead I'm going to post five shorter epilogs. One for each of H&K's kids and a short one for them. This starts twenty years after the last chapter. All five are written already so if you review quickly I'll post them maybe one a day. I want to hear comments on each one though so I'll post when you review.

Congrats to those who knew that Reine means queen and to anyone who guessed the pairings. I won't say who because that might spoil it.

I hope you all liked the last chapter. Poor Kurama really had his manhood tested when he got pregnant so I had to do something to give him back his tough guy image.

Thank you all so much for all the support and the great reviews. You have all been so kind. Now I want you to write me some YYH stories, especially with H&K together so I can return the favor and send you a review.

Until next time. SFM

AND BABY MAKES… HOW MANY?

Epilog 1 -Jax

The clink of steel on steel filled the air as two black blurs flitted from the ground to the trees and back. Their shirtless muscular forms were nearly undetectable by the untrained eye. The taller of the two gave a laugh as the shorter fighter's sword went flying. "Your time in the Ningenkai has made you soft Baby Bro."

In a blur the sword was retrieved. A second later the Jax felt the flat edge of the sword swat his behind. Another laugh filled the air, this time from Ryu. "I might be a little out of practice Big Bro but I'm still faster than you."

Ryu flitted at Jax who quickly dodged the attack. A second later Ryu was on his back with Jax perched on his chest pinning his arms at his sides. "Faster isn't always better little Dragon."

When his little brother smirked and the tattoo on his arm began to smoke Jax released him and jumped back. Ryu grinned. "Maybe not Sparky but you're still afraid of my Kokuryu."

Jax reached down and helped his brother to his feet. "Too bad we'll never find out which of us would win if we put your black dragon up against my lightning attack."

Ryu smiled at his brother. "The only way to win that one is not to fight. Now how about a swim before we go home, you stink."

The sight of the two dark and handsome brothers had been making demons and humans, both male and female, swoon since they reached puberty. Jax had grown to be almost six and a half feet tall. As a swordsman his sculpted shoulders and arms along with his ripped abs were the result of years of training. Through his parents skilled training he was also an extremely powerful demon possessing both fire and lightning powers. Three years ago, with no opposition from his siblings, Jax had firmly lay sole claim as Hiei's heir.

Physically Ryu took after Hiei, strong, lean and fast. Thanks to his Youko genes though he had grown to be almost six feet tall. Like Kurama he preferred to wear his silky black hair long. His disposition was more like Kurama's also. To all appearances he was a polite, quiet young man but under his calm exterior was a demon who's powers had proved to rival and even exceed that of his parents.

At the pond they had used as kids they quickly stripped before jumping in. After a brief swim they settled back, both fire demons raised their ki to heat the water. "Welcome home Ryu. You know, you're going to be in trouble for not going to see Papa first."

Nodding, Ryu smirked. "I know, but it was worth it. It'll help to warm up with you before Dad gets his hands on me."

The two talked for almost an hour before they felt someone approach. Neither moved as Uta stopped beside the pond with her hands on her hips. "How can you boys just be lounging around while Uncle Kurama paces a hole in the carpet waiting for Ryu to come home? He hasn't seen you in two months."

The brothers grinned at each other before Ryu spoke to first his brother then his sister-in-law. "Jax, how did you get such a smart and pretty woman to fall in love with you? Hey Sis, come and keep Sparky company while I go see the folks."

Uta blushed and discretely turned her head as Ryu climbed naked from the water. A quick flare of his ki and Ryu was dry before he stepped into his pants. He called back over his shoulder with a grin as he flitted off to the castle. "I'll keep the family busy for a while so you two can… um… have fun."

Uta's blush deepened. When Ryu was gone Jax wiggled an eyebrow at his wife. "Care to join me Red?"

Uta flipped her long red hair over her shoulder with a grin as she seductively stripped for him. "I don't know, do you think you're up to it? The shredded shirts and swords tell me you've been fighting. You might be all worn out."

Jax took a moment to appreciate the sight of Uta's naked body as she stepped into the water. Even as a skinny youth he loved her body, now, as the mother of one year old twins, he loved her womanly figure even more. She was still reed thin but motherhood had slightly rounded her hips and given her fuller more voluptuous breasts. Black eyes met green hungrily as she sank below the water and into his strong arms. "I'll show you who's up to it woman."

Lips and bodies met in a timeless dance of love.


Rami and Ryu both lived with Shiori and Hatanaka in the Ningenkai while they attended the university. Rami had graduated with a bachelors degree in biology two years ago and now would be getting his masters degree in botany. Like his brothers Rami had grown tall and strong. He wore his thick golden hair just past his shoulders and the girls in the Ningenkai all envied it's rich color. With Kurama's help he had honed his plant wielding skills, with time and practice his skill would some day rival that of his father's.

Kurama had also taught both him and Kira the art of illusion. By the time they were teenagers both kits could cast an illusion that would conceal their Youko ears and tails from all but the most powerful demons. This enabled them both visit Shiori at will and Rami to attend the university.

Ryu would be graduating with a bachelors degree in psychology. Hiei liked to tease him that, like Kurama, he enjoyed messing with peoples minds.

Ryu smiled as he watched his parents from the door. He had learned to hide his ki at a young age so he could sneak up on them. Unfortunately that also meant he had caught them in a few compromising positions. Today all he caught them doing was making out. From the looks of things Hiei had decided that pinning his mate to the floor and kissing him senseless was a good way to keep the redhead from pacing.

From the door Ryu cleared his throat. "If you two would rather be alone, I could leave."

Hiei lifted his head. From his position on the floor Kurama's laughing green eyes met Ryu's. "Take one step out that door Dragon and it may be your last."

Hiei stood and held a hand out to Kurama. The redhead jumped up and ran to hug his son. "You little demon, where have you been? We sensed you almost two hours ago."

Kurama finally released Ryu so Hiei could get a hug. "Sorry Papa, Jax thought I should have a little work out before Dad gets his hands on me."

Hiei smirked. "You forgot to mention the swim in the pond afterwards."

Before Ryu could respond Hiei pulled Kurama out of the way as Kira raced in and pounced her brother. "Ryu! I missed you Baby Bro. How's school? Are you dating anyone special? Is she cute? Or is it a he? How long can you stay? Don't you graduate soon? Where's Rami? When…?"

Kira yelped when Hiei stepped forward and lifted her away from Ryu. "Angel, take a breath and let the boy speak."

Grinning, Kira kissed Hiei's cheek. "Sorry Daddy."

Ryu and Kurama sat on the sofa and Hiei took a chair with Kira sitting on the arm. "School's good, I think Papa will be pleased with my grades. No, I'm not dating anyone special, male or female. Spring break's only a week long so I have to be back on Sunday. Graduation's in a little over a month. Oh and Rami took Shi home first so he'll be here soon."

From the door Rami watched his family. "Actually, I'm here now."

Kira beat Kurama to Rami by only a step. Once again Hiei snatched her away giving Kurama room to hug his son. After Hiei managed to get his hug and they sat back down with Kira now on the arm of Rami's chair. "Before you ask, my answers are all the same as Ryu's."

Hiei smirked. "Hn. No new conquests to tell us about?"

Rami gave a wicked grin. "I didn't say that but no one I'd bring home to Papa."

They visited for almost an hour before Jax and Uta came in. "Welcome home little brothers."

More kisses and hugs were exchanged before the family enjoyed their little reunion.


Later that night, in a room much like the one Jax had shared with Rami and Kira when they had first come to Alaric, Jax and Uta were getting their daughters ready for bed. Lyn, named after Jax's mother, had her father's silky black hair and her mother's green eyes. Like Uta and Shi, Lyn's twin was her opposite. Rose had Uta's rich red hair and Jax's black eyes.

Jax and Uta almost had the girls settled down when Rami, Ryu and Kira knocked on the door and peeked in. Seeing them the girls jumped on their beds squealing. "Uncow Wami!" "Uncow Wyu!"

Taking that as an invitation the men each went and picked up one of their nieces. With a look of mock disgust Kira put her hands on her hips. "Sheesh! The boys are only back a few hours and already my nieces have forgotten all about me."

The girls just giggled at her. Uta laughed. "Don't feel bad, even they will be shoved aside when your parents come to say goodnight."

Sure enough a moment later Rami and Ryu were forgotten when Hiei and Kurama came in. Seeing his sons' look of surprise Hiei smirked as he picked Rose up. "Hn. They thought they were so special but you love Granddad best don't you my Rose?"

Rose giggled and nodded. "Ah huh." From Kurama's arms Lyn agreed. "Gwampa too."

Kira went and put an arm around Kurama. "Well Grandpa and Granddad have to share because I want my kiss. I'm going to bed because Shura's coming early tomorrow to take me to the bazaar."

When it was his turn for a kiss Rami teased his sister. "When are you going to put a leash on that goat?"

Hiei and Kurama were quick to notice the hurt in Kira's eyes. Both passed the baby they held to their waiting parents and went after a kit. Kurama slipped an arm around Kira and headed for the door. "Angel, I hope you and Shura have a good time tomorrow."

As his mate and daughter left Hiei's fingers smacked the back of Rami's head. Rubbing his head he turned to Hiei confused. "Hey, what'd I do?"

Hiei just shook his head and followed Kurama and Kira. Jax kissed his girls and left them with Uta as he led his brothers out of the room and down stairs. "Damn it Rami, why'd you say something so mean to Kira. You know how she feels about Shura. You also know Shura's more blind than Uncle Yomi when it comes to our sister's feelings."

In his office Jax poured them all a drink. Accepting his Rami downed it. "I was only teasing, I didn't mean to hurt her feelings."

Ryu's normally calm demeanor slipped a little. "Maybe we should have a little chat with Shura and open his eyes about a few things."

Jax shook his head. "I already offered. Kira forbid anyone from saying or doing anything to Shura."

Ryu got up and refilled all their drinks. "Then I guess we'll just have to trust the little vixen to handle this on her own."

Rami held up his glass and his brothers joined him in a toast. "To Kira's success."


Two hours later a slightly inebriated Jax slipped naked into bed with his wife. "Have fun with the boys Sparky?"

He smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Yeah, it's nice to have them home."

Smiling she trailed her fingers down his chest. He smiled when they slid under the covers to caress him. "I'm glad you enjoyed it because you smell like you've had too much to drink to enjoy anything else tonight."

In one fluid motion Jax lifted his wife until she straddled his hips. "Red that's twice today you have questioned my virility. I'll guess I'll just have to prove to you again that I can handle you anytime, anyplace."

Uta moaned when one of his hands caressed her through her thin nightgown as the other buried itself in her thick red hair, pulling her into a passionate kiss. After a while she pulled back from the kiss. Sitting up she pulled the nightgown over her head. Jax arched on the bed when Uta raised herself up to lower herself down on his erection. "I wouldn't want you to tax yourself Sparky so I'll just do all the work tonight. You just lay back and enjoy the ride."

Jax rested his hands on her hips. "In case you didn't notice it's you riding tonight but don't worry I'll make sure you enjoy it."

Some time later they both cried out their enjoyment.


Down the hall Rami snuck into Kira's room. Sitting on the edge of her bed he reached out to stroke her hair. Slowly her eyes fluttered open. "Rami? What's wrong?"

He smiled guiltily. "I just wanted to say sorry for what I said earlier. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

Sliding over Kira pulled back the covers. Rami kicked off his shoes and lay down next to her. Just like she used to when they were kits Kira cuddled next to her big brother. "It's okay. One of these days I'll get brave enough to just seduce him and be done with it."

Rami raised an eyebrow. If his senses were correct that day would be pretty soon. "I'm sure it'll all work out fine. Go to sleep little kit."

Sleepily she kissed his cheek. "G'night Rami, I love you."

"Love you too."
