Spells of Love
Chapter 1: A Spell
Kurama had left Hiei on the couch in the other room to sleep last night, only now, when he got up and checked, there were only Hiei's clothing, and something was wiggling underneath. Kurama slowly pulled back the collar of the shirt, hoping it wasn't an enemy.... He slowly pulled it back to reveal.... A baby? Kurama looked at the infant, same black hair, same color eyes, though now innocent to the t.... "Hiei?!", Kurama blurted, a little shocked.
Hiei's eyes teared up, and the little thing pouted, making small hiccup like sounds, then he started to cry. "Oh, Hiei, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...", Kurama picked him up, and gently bounced the now infant Hiei.
Eventually Hiei stopped crying, only to find interest in Kurama's red hair. "No, no now, don't need to play with my hair, Hiei.", Kurama stated, prying the little hands off of his hair, "Let's see if we can't find anything for you to wear, I know my Mother kept everything from when I was a baby....",
...
So this led to Kurama digging through the boxes of saved up stuff in the basement, whilst holding Hiei in one arm. "Well, I better not put a cradle in my room, Mom would find out too easily about you that way... Oh, this'll work.", he stated, inspecting a basket, "Just needs some blankets, and it'll work fine, plus, it'll fit under my bed... Not to mention easy to carry you with.",
Hiei just made a few cute, little baby noises, and continued with his exploration of Kurama's buttons on the shirt. "Here's some cloth diapers, and my old baby clothing...", Kurama continued, "And some old toys too, they'll need to be washed but, all, and all, they'll do.",
Hiei just sat in Kurama's arm, only to start getting fussy over one thing or another. "What's the matter, hm?", Kurama asked Hiei softly.
Hiei just made little whining noises, as to the fact he was hungry, only Kurama couldn't tell that. "Well, I think I have everything we need, come on, Hiei, up the stairs we go.", Kurama stated, carrying the box in one arm, and Hiei in the other.
After getting everything washed, and Hiei still being fussy after being dressed, Kurama figured he must be hungry. He did try solid food, but the little thing wouldn't take it. "What I need, really is baby food, or, formula...", he stated, digging through the cupboards.
Kurama found some pudding, it would have to do, so he mixed it up, and carried the little squirming child upstairs to his bedroom. "There, now...", he stated, taking a spoonful of pudding, "Try some of this."
Little Hiei quieted down the instant the spoon was in his mouth, he happily complied to being fed, though making a mess of himself. He even let Kurama re- dress him easier than before being fed. Kurama decided it would be best to get some help from Yusuke, and Kuwabara with this... It was only nine am and already Hiei was becoming a hassle... So he stuck Hiei inside the basket from earlier, along with a couple blankets underneath, one on top, and another to keep the sun off of his face. "Here, now, you just play with these while we take a little walk.", he stated, sticking the toy keys in the small hands.
Hiei happily complied.
...
Yusuke answered the door, "Yeah, wha- Oh, Kurama, come in, how's Hiei, is he awake yet?", Yusuke stated.
"Very, actually...", Kurama stated, "Look, well, I think that someone put a spell on him or something because, well, look for yourself....", Kurama stated, lifting the blankets off the basket.
"Is that?", Yusuke asked, Kurama just nodded.
Luckily the tyke had fallen asleep those toy keys clutched happily in his little grasp. "He is.... Kinda cute I guess...", Yusuke said.
"Glad you think so, I need you to watch him while I go get a few things.", Kurama stated.
"Well, okay, I guess.", Yusuke stated, having no other choice because Kurama had already left.
(Remember, R&R, I think a baby Hiei would be.... Kawaii, don't you? Anyway, back to the fic!)
Everything was fine until the little, sweet, thing decided to wake up. Hiei wailed at the top of those little lungs of his. Yusuke came into the room, and picked the crying babe up, only to find he needed to be changed. "Okay, good thing Mom babysits, or else I wouldn't know what to do....", Yusuke stated, and proceeded to change Hiei's diaper.
Only that didn't get him to be quiet.... Hiei continued to cry, that is until Kurama came back, and hushed him enough to stop. "There now, I was only away for a half and hour.", Kurama stated, sticking a pacifire in Hiei's mouth, which he sucked on, with a cute little teary face, and sniffling slightly.
"Thank you for looking after him.", Kurama stated, picking up everything he needed, and left.
...
Later that day Kurama was busy dusting as little Hiei crawled about the floor, happily giggling whenever finding something new to look at. Kurama would just look down at the little squirt, chuckling at whatever it might be, and continued on his cleaning. Before too soon Hiei had tuckered himself out, and was ready for his afternoon nap. "There we are.", Kurama stated, sitting the little yawning bundle in the basket, and sliding it safely underneath his bed.
He really was not of much trouble, not really, just curious that was all... Kurama decided he needed a small nap as well. Seems he had been busy all day caring for the little kid that had once been his lover... So he lay down and drifted into slumber.
...
It was later, around twelve twenty six at night that the demons entered. Quietly they came in, and took the basket, only to wake the sleeping babe within. His large, innocent, red, eyes teared up, and he started to cry loudly. Which woke Kurama, "HIEI!!!", he gasped sitting up, and then jumping out of bed at the demon who held tightly to the baby's basket. Kurama finally sliced the idiot into peices, and then picked the still crying Hiei up out of the basket. "It's okay, everything'll be fine, I won't let anything happen to you Hiei, I promise...", Kurama soothed the infant. They wanted Hiei for some reason and Kurama was not going to give him up without a fight, but still, he would be safer at someone else's home at the time being...
