Disclaimer: I still don't own any thing.
Neko Yasha: ok, I couldn't think of any thing to put in this chapter, so I decided to skip ahead.
Lets just say that this chapter takes place 4 months later, which would make Kurama 4 months pregnant.
Ok, before I start, I'd also like to clear something up. Kurama had gone home from the island, and his mom already knows about the baby. Hiei, Yusuke, Kuwabara and Genkai had all stayed and competed in the dark tournament. Also Kurama's been home schooled since his mom found out. In this chapter, Hiei comes home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Kurama's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sighed as I sat at my desk, finishing up the homework I was assigned for the day, though not really getting much work done on it. I was having an extremely hard time concentrating. My mind was on other things.
Hiei was supposed to come home today, after staying on the island and competing in the tournament.
I was only sorry that I couldn't have been there to fight with him. But in my condition, that was nearly impossible. So Botan had taken Keiko and I back to my hometown, where Genkai thought I would be safest. 4 months had passed since then, and so far she was right. Nothing bad happened, no one had tried to hurt me. Well, all except for my mother when she found out. But I had still missed them all so much, especially Hiei. I had gotten a letter or two from him in the beginning, but since then I hadn't heard from him at all. I was beginning to get worried until I had gotten word from Genkai. Today was the day when he was supposed to return to me. But I was beginning to doubt it as I watched the sun set among the many tall skyscrapers scattered across the city. Genkai had said he would arrive in the early morning. But that turned out to be on the contrary. Nightfall would arrive soon, and still no sign of him. I couldn't sense him at all. So either he was trying to hide himself or he was no where near me. Once again I let out a sigh, followed by a long yawn as i8t began to grow late and I had been up since dawn waiting for him. Vaguely I heard my mother walking down the hallway, coming closer and closer to my bedroom. I heard the door creak open, and I smiled as I met the worried gaze of my mother. She smiled back and walked up to me, lifting a soft hand to my head and smoothing out my disordered locks. "Get in bed Suuichi. You'll have to get up bright and early." I nodded and got up from my desk, being sure not to bump into any thing with my enlarged mid-section. My mother gave me a hand, and led me over to my bed, pulling the covers back for me. Carefully I lied down, and pulled the covers up to my chin, as my mother tucked them around my body, as if I were still 3 years old. I felt an extra weight on my bed as she sat at my feet, and reached up to brush some stray hair out of my eyes. "Are you alright?" she asked, pure concern in her voice. "Yes mother. I'm fine." I replied calmly, as not to alarm her. "You know, you can tell me if something's wrong. You've just been acting rather strange lately." I didn't want to tell her the truth. She didn't know about Hiei. She still had the idea that I was raped so telling her the truth would be out of the question. So I put on a fake smile and tried my best not to act nervous. "I'm fine mother, really." Finally, she sighed and decided to give up the idea. "Very well. Good night Suuichi." She said, then placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.
"Good night little one." She said as she repeated the action, this time placing a kiss on my round stomach.
She glanced back at me one last time before flipping off the light switch and shutting the door.
Once I was sure she was gone, I turned toward the window. "Where are you Hiei?" I asked no one unparticular. Finally my eyelids grew heavy, so I decided to let sleep claim me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Hiei's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I raced from rooftop to rooftop, the sound of my swift footsteps hitting the pavement being the only sound in the still dead night. Broken street lamps flickered on and off until they finally gave up and gave out, making the night even darker aside from the bright stars that littered the sky.
I was late. Kurama would be very upset when I finally got there, but that didn't bother me too much, as I was much too excited. This would be the first time I had seen him in months. I couldn't begin to imagine how much he'd changed.
He'd obviously be much bigger around the waste, but not too bad, Unless something happened. What if something happened to him while I was away? What if he lost the baby? What if he's not even alive? All these thoughts ran through my head, although I knew that if something happened I would've been informed right away. Genkai would have told me, or I would've heard it from some one else.
This helped me to calm down a bit, and I continued on my short journey to the
Minnamino residence. As a grew nearer and nearer to Kurama's household,
I felt that tickle feeling in my stomach, then rise up to my chest. What had Kurama said about that? The butterflies? Yes, the butterflies. Much to my surprise, when the great Hiei was actually some what nervous at the beginning of the dark tournament, Kurama had said that the nervous feeling in my stomach were only butterflies fluttering about. It was one of the stupidest things I had ever heard. Apparently that insane ningen mother of his had told him that when he said he felt nervous on his first day of kindergarten. Ridiculous. Finally I came to a large oak tree that sat in front of Kurama's window and paused for a moment. //What if Kurama doesn't want to see me? After all, I left him alone for four months, with out so much as a phone call. Well, that's if you don't count those couple of letters, but that was more Genkai's idea than mine.// I thought to myself. //oh well. I'll just have to deal with it.// I took one last deep breath before leaping up into the tree, and climbing into Kurama's window.
Once I was inside the dark room, I immediately noticed my lover's beautiful sleeping face as he lye there asleep in his bed, arms stretched up lazily, covers rolled half way down his body. Obviously he had been tossing in turning, judging by the disordered bedding. I quietly walked up to the bed, and sat down gently at his feet, as not to wake him. I pulled the covers down a bit more,
And examined his body, head to toe. Indeed, I was right. Kurama had gained at east ten pounds in the past 4 months, making his balloon-like mid-section
Look twice as big as when I had left. His chest had expanded slightly, from the herbal remedy Genkai had given him, enabling him to develop milk in order to breastfeed. His hair had grown slightly, probably reaching his lower back by now. And his face had only increased in its beauty, if that were possible.
I ran my fingers over his slightly chubby cheeks, until he began to stir.
Quickly, as not to wake him just for me, I walked back to the window sill, and was about to climb out and rest in the tree when I heard a small tired voice.
"Hiei?"

Sun: ok! There's chapter 8!
Water: so sorry it took us so long, but updating is a pain in the butt
Fire: and we've been really lazy
Earth: we're not lazy! We're simply enjoying our youth while we can.
Neko Yasha: yep! ^_^
Hiei: Hn. Sounds like lazy to me.
Kurama: shut up Hiei! Before they hurt us!
Hiei: stupid fox! They wouldn't do that!
Earth, Sun, Water, Fire, and Neko Yasha: (big evil grin)
Hehehehehehehehehehehehe..................
Hiei & Kurama: (gulp)
Earth: so any way, R&R! no flames please!
Baby: bye bye!
