~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Kurama's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hiei?" the shadowed figure stopped and turned back to me. "Is that you?" I asked quietly, as the figure slowly began to step closer and closer until I began to feel a bit violated. "Yes Kurama, it's me." My eyes light up with joy as Hiei stepped with in my line of view, and I met his calm serene features that I was so familiar with. "Oh Hiei!" before I knew what I was doing, I leapt into my lover's arms, practically squeezing the life out of him. I felt him run his fingers through my long red hair as I nuzzled my face in his chest, a joyful smile spread across my face. That's when I remembered. //oh yeah. I'm mad at him.//

I pulled back and looked him into the eye, the smile on my face long gone. "Hiei" Hiei looked back at me. "Yes?" slowly I pulled back my hand, and brought it down across his cheek, leaving a bright red handprint in my wake. "Don't you ever leave that long again! You had me worried sick!" I collapsed onto my knees and sobbed as I buried my head in Hiei's lap. "You didn't even bother to write to me." Hiei reached down to pet my hair, then pulled my chin up so that I was once again, looking him in the face through blurry tear stricken eyes. With out word, Hiei tilted my chin and leaned down to place a soft gentle kiss on my pale lips, making me quiver once he pulled back. "What was that for?" I asked, my voice slightly shaken.

"Just my way of saying I'm sorry. I didn't have a lot of time to write. I had Genkai check up on you though." I sniffled then nodded, burying my face in the crook of his neck. "I love you." Those three words practically melted my heart. Ever since Hiei and I had been together, he'd never said that to me. Not once. Of course I already knew, but it meant so much more to hear it from him. So I took in a deep breath and hugged him even closer to me. "I love you too" I said, making sure that I meant every part of it, letting each syllable roll off of my tongue, much like the melted ice cream would on those hot summer days in my younger years. This had to be one of the happiest times in both my lives. For once, I didn't miss my Yoko form. In fact, I was actually GLAD that I was in my human body. There's no where in the world I'd rather be besides here, with the two loves of my life, Just the three of us, sitting alone, enjoying the peaceful silence of the darkened room. I buried my face into his light blue tank top as he pulled me closer, and that's when I noticed the horrible dirty sweaty smell he had developed from battle after battle, never once bothering to bath. Hiei never really enjoyed that sort of thing. After all, being a fire demon and all, his hate for water was in his nature. But this was ridiculous! It was obvious that he hadn't had a bath in weeks. I pulled back a little, so that I was somewhat out of Hiei's grasp. "Hiei, you stink. When was the last time you had a bath?" I asked, in my normal calm polite voice. "Um, about a week before you left." My eyes nearly popped out of my head. "You haven't had a bath in 4 months?!" Hiei looked down at the floor and began to fiddle with his fingers nervously. "Well, I washed my hands, feet and face occasionally, if that counts." I couldn't help but sweat drop at his pathetic attempt at an excuse, but finally let out a sigh and got out of bed. "Well, I could use one also, so we might as well get one together. My mother might be upset if we waste the hot water." I said as I pulled my bright red hair back into a tight ponytail. Hiei gulped nervously as he pictured he and Kurama. Alone. In a bathtub. With out clothes. He glanced back at me, and seeing the impatient look on my face, got up and followed me into the bathroom. 'Well I guess there's no way I'm going to get out of it.' With that, Hiei and I headed into the fairly and feminine bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Normal P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some where in a small cave, on the highest peak of MT. Hiei, the dark and powerful witch Kita watched with maniacal glee as she gazed into a small pool,

Enjoying the scene before her. It was so cute. Kurama was standing knee-deep in a large bathtub, not bothering with clothes as he tried to pull Hiei into the warm water, while he attempted to hold a towel around his thin waist. She chuckled to her self as she caught a glance at Kurama's rounding mid-section.

"The baby is powerful. I can tell already." She said as she laughed gleefully.

"The plan is going just perfectly! All I have to do is wait while Kurama does all the work for me!" she threw her head back, unable to control the laughter and glee she had gotten from the mere thought of her success. "Of course I shouldn't get my hopes up yet. After all, something could just 'happen'. Like maybe that puppeteer could come back!" This only caused her to roar with laughter yet again as memories of her vindictive plan flooded back to her.

"Yes, that was a brilliant plan. But that was before I thought of an even better one." Kita turned back to the birdbath like pool, moving her attention back to the images before her. Kurama's laughing face, Hiei's angered features, and of course the water that was flying every where, do to Hiei's struggling.

"Soon Kurama, Very soon. You won't be this happy forever. Not if I have any thing to do with it. Hn. serves you right after what you did to Gama." At the mention of her deceased lover's name, Kita's bright red eyes began to glisten with unshed tears, but she quickly wiped them away before they could spill, much like the flowing rapid rivers of the amazon, resembling her broken heart. Each time the rivers hit the sharp jagged rocks along the bay, little by little they broke away until there was nothing left. Just like her. "But not for long Kurama. Soon I'll get my revenge, and my lover will finally return to me. And I'll never hurt again."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"See Hiei? This isn't so bad, now is it?" Kurama said, as he scrubbed the dirt and grime from Hiei's back." Hiei rested his head so it lied on Kurama's shoulder, lost in complete relaxation due to his lover's comforting ministrations. "Hn." was all he gave as a reply, while Kurama worked over his stomach, rubbing the soapy pinkish sponge along his skin. "I told you that you'd like it." Hiei said nothing, just let out a muffled moan as Kurama continued to clean him. "Now lean your head back so I can wash your hair." Hiei did as he was told, As Kurama made sure to gently remove the small white headband before soaking his hair with the warm water. "Any way, I think we should give our baby a demonic type of name. One with a very strong meaning." Kurama spoke as he rubbed the rose scented shampoo into Hiei's thick black hair. Hiei nodded his agreement as he began to drift off into his own little world, where only he and those amazing fingers mattered. "Do you want to determine the sex of the baby?"

Hiei's red eyes fluttered open as the conversation began to interest him.

"I don't know, what do you think?" He asked as he craned his neck to face Kurama. "I'm not sure. I'd kind of like to wait and be surprised." "Hn."

Hiei said, as he nodded his agreement. "Great. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. You can come if you like, but that would mean introducing you to my mother." "But Genkai said you weren't supposed to let any one know. Especially not some doctor." He clamed as he turned to Kurama wide eyed. "I know, but my mother insists. She said it's that or an abortion." Hiei obviously had given up on the matter, for he only turned back around, making himself comfortable between Kurama's legs as he continued to rinse the suds from his hair. "Very well. I guess she'll have to know about me some time. I mean, it'll be kind of hard to explain me if she thinks you were raped." "Yes, you have a point. So you'll come with me to my appointment?" "Hn." He said, while giving a small nod.

"Good." Kurama said while wrapping his long arms around Hiei's waist, and pulling him into a big bear hug. (A/N: jeez, they hug a lot don't they?)

"Now, it's my turn." Hiei obeyed Kurama's orders and turned so he was straddling

His lap. He took the small pink sponge from Kurama's hands, and began scrubbing down his chest, until he reached the three large gashes on his lower abdomen.

"They're Hideous, aren't they?" Hiei smiled to him self and chuckled slightly, then leaned in so that he and Kurama's noses were practically touching. "No.

It's a part of you, so it's beautiful." Once that was said, Hiei placed a small loving kiss on Kurama's lips. It was more friendly than sexual, but it was still enjoyable none the less. "Now come on. The water's getting cold." Kurama nodded, then climbed out of the tub, once Hiei had gotten off of him. Wrapping a towel around Hiei and himself, they headed back into his room, where they each quickly changed into their nightclothes and crawled into bed. "Oh my, it's already sun rise." Said Kurama as he caught a glance of the rising yellow orb. "I guess we shouldn't have had that bath. We'll only get a few hours of sleep." Hiei only shrugged as he tugged at the over sized light blue Kimono uncomfortably.

"That's alright. We'll live. Damn it fox, don't you have any thing smaller? And who ever discovered cotton was a moron!" Kurama let out a tired chuckle at Hiei's unintentional joke. "I'm sorry Hiei, but that's the smallest thing I have. My mother sold all my smaller clothing, so that's the only thing I have left." Hiei sighed in disappointment, and deciding to give up on the matter, laid back down on the small twin bed, cuddling up close to the red headed fox after her had drifted off. Kurama smiled down at his tiny fire demon, and placed a kiss on his forehead before following his lover into dreamland.

Little did he or Hiei know that deep inside his stomach, grew no ordinary baby,

But what was soon to be a wonder to the world. For it's power was far greater than their own, despite it's tiny form. Of course that wouldn't stop them from raising it with love, care and discipline just like any other good parent would.

But that didn't change the fact that that child would be any thing but ordinary, and would one day decide the fate of Kurama and Hiei both. For deep with in the snowy peaks of MT. Hiei, Kita was slowly developing an evil plan. One so great that it compared to nothing else. If she succeeded in her intentions, no one would be able to stop her. Not Yusuke, not Kurama, not Hiei, not any one.

She would destroy the world in a single blow. Once she managed to get Gama back, there would be no hope for the planet earth. She would take over. She and her lover would rule all and there was nothing that any one could do about it.

Ironic isn't it? The fate of the free world rests on the shoulders of a mere child. But as I said before, this was no ordinary child. No ordinary child indeed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(TBC)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Neko Yasha: ok! There ya go! Exactly 2016 words!

Chibi Kurama: we worked weally hard on it, so pwease weview!

Hiei: like we've said so many times, no flames. We already got one in the earlier chapters, and it only served to make them sound like a pathetic moron.

Neko Yasha: they said (and I quote) why did you give lord Kurama a sex change? I'm flaming you! (unquote) we practically died from laughter!

So, any way, R&R! no more idiotic flames! It really Is a waste of time.

Now, when it comes to you, wandering dragon, I can understand why you sort of almost kinda flamed us for the last chapter, since male pregnancies are very unusual, but I ask you to try and have an open mind. We're just doing this for fun! It's ok if you don't like that sort of thing. So, that's all for now!

Chibi Kurama: bye bye! (waves)
