=======================



Chapter 2

Kra'ma



There were many things in Kurama's life that he should be less then proud of, but he was sure nothing he did was equal to the punishment he had been given. Hiei had somehow turned into a small innocent looking leach, refusing to remove the frighteningly tight grasp he had on Kurama's hair.

For the past three months.

Not for the first time did the silver haired Youko consider shearing off his hair, but if he did that, Hiei might start latching onto his tail instead. And that would definitely hurt a heck of a lot more if that was pulled, not to mention he couldn't exactly remove it.

And Kurama had no one to complain to, as Hiei was still slumbering peacefully. In fact, the only times the demon *wasn't* sleeping was when it was eating, crying, or depositing a horrible smelling present somewhere in Kurama's den and then leaving a trail of small, dirty, and equally smelly footsteps away from it.

Casting a glare at the still sleeping half-Koorime, Kurama decided to catch a quick fox-nap before heading out again. He was supposed to meet an ice demon who might have the plant he wanted.

Stupid ice.

Closing his eyes, the fox had just began drifting into a Hiei free dream when a piercing wail and a tell-tale tug at his scalp jerked him back to reality. Praying that he was just experiencing a pain induced nightmare, Kurama kept his eyes closed. Another tug and that same banshee like wail repeated themselves and Kurama reluctantly opened his eyes.

"WHAT?!" He half yelled, half whined.

Hiei winced, his blood red eyes welling up with even more tears. "Kra'ma," he said in a tiny, sniffily voice.

Kurama practically melted at that, his name was Hiei's very first word. Two tears of absolute happiness leaked down the fox spirits face before his sharp nose caught a whiff of a very familiar smell.

So he then acted like any responsible adult with a child should when he realized what it meant. He burst into tears and let out a piercing wail that rivaled Hiei's. "Hiei, not *again*!"

Looking down at the warm pile now atop of the discarded shirt, yet underneath Hiei's bare toosh, he sighed. After dropping a seed on the pile, knowing that it would take root after only a moment or so, he looked at the now naked demon and frowned. He then picked the demon up, being careful to avoid contact with anything that would transfer the smell onto him and carried the small child out of his den. With a glance back, he sent a burst of his ki into the seed, relieved when he could no longer detect the scent that seemed to haunt him.

"Kra'ma! Kra'ma! Kra'ma!" Hiei happily chanted, pulling the silver hair dangling in front of him as they walked along the path towards a small sun-warmed stream. Hiei caught sight of the water and instantly paled, as any normal child would do.

"KRA'MA! KRA'MA! KRA'MA!" The baby began to panic, kicking his feet in attempt to get away from his inevitable bath. With a burst of his steadily rising spirit energy, Hiei's skin began to heat until Kurama could no longer hold him for fear of burning his hands. The small, and not to mention naked, demon landed on the ground. The grass instantly caught the baby and began pushing him into the water. With a hiss of steam, Hiei was pushed down into the water of the bank and he sat there pouting.

"Kra'ma." He muttered as more water was heated into steam around him.

"Hiei," Kurama said, stepping into the water in front of the demon and squatting down to be close to eye level. "Will you promise to not complain about bath time if I buy you a nice present in town today?" And by 'buy' he meant 'steal'.

"Kra'ma?" Hiei asked, inquiring about the present.

"That's right, but you have to behave." After a moment of thought, Kurama added another requirement in the deal. "And no more leaving presents inside the den, understand?"

"Kra'ma!" Hiei nodded, lowing his body heat and splashing in the water.

And of course, like any child would do, the fire demon refused to leave the bath when he had been pronounced clean. And by the time the silver haired Youko got him out, the boy had learned a new word.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Hiei screamed as Kurama literally dragged him away from the stream and back into his den. The scream kept up while the fox placed him in a clean shirt and began walking towards town. If anything, it proved that Hiei had very strong lungs and vocal cords.



=================================

Kurama: irritating little brat...

Hiei: serves you right, you know it all youko.
