A Lover's Destiny

Hikari's Confession and Hiei's Expression

Botan nodded.

*That night*

All the girls got ready for bed. Botan in her starry pajamas. "Oh, those are so cute Botan. Where'd you get um?" Keiko asked.

Botan smiled. "Thanks and I got them from Koenma..."

"Oh...I wonder if he would give me some too. Wait. Who's Koenma? He's the one with the pacifier right? The tall cutie?" Keiko asked curiously.

She had no idea about Koenma's truest form.

Botan blinked but nodded.

Yukina nodded too. "He's the one Kazuma is always calling pacifier breath. I could never forget him." she said smiling.

Botan chuckled.

*back at the boys room*

Hiei and Hikari were on the couch. Sitting.

Kurama looked right at Hiei. "Hiei, why are you two just sitting there staring. You're honestly making me nervous." he said.

Kurama smiled.

Hikari leaned into Hiei. "Because we are bored..." Hiei said.

Yusuke chuckled. "Surprising."

Hiei blinked.

Yusuke mumbled under his breath. "Yeah, I bet he's so dense he probably doesn't even know what I mean. Man, he really must not have had a childhood. Or parents for that matter. Who taught him that stuff anyway!?"

Hiei growled.

Hearing everything.

He bared his fangs.

Hikari walked over and whispered to Yusuke. "you are going to die. Hiei didn't have parents, friends, anything. Bad memories..." she said to Yusuke. Just loud enough for Yusuke to hear.

Yusuke looked over at Hiei and saw him shift where he was sitting. "Really...I didn't know. I've always wondered about shorty. He always acted weird when we touched that subject." Yusuke said. "And since I want to live, I'll stop talking about it."

Hiei growled. Hikari hit Hiei over the head hard and Hiei just stopped.

Kurama laughed to himself.

Hikari sat in Hiei's lap.

Hiei kissed her on the lips lovingly.

Yusuke watched from around the corner. "Man, I wish Keiko and I could act more like that. But Keiko is too much of a goody goody." Yusuke squished his cheeks together. He imitated Keiko. "Yusuke, do this. Yusuke do that. Man she's annoying."

Hiei and Hikari continued to kiss. She felt his chest lovingly.

*the next morning*

The sun was shining through the window and onto Keiko's face...who was sleeping. She turned in her sleep. "No...stop it Yusuke. Leave me and my skirt alone."

She was sleep talking.

Hikari woke up and ran into the bathroom. She slammed the door. Hiei blinked. "Uh oh..." he mumbled.

The vibration of the door slamming woke Kurama from his sleep.

He got up and rubbed his head. "What was that?" He was too tired and he went back to sleep.

Hiei walked in the living room part of the hotel. Hoping to god that Hikari wasn't what he thought she was...

Hikari came out of the bathroom. She laid on the couch. "Don't.... feel.... good...."

Yusuke came out of his bedroom cause he heard the door slam and was curious why. He was kind of hoping Hikari and Hiei had gotten in a fight.

He spotted her on the couch. "What's with you?" he asked.

"Think... I'm pregnant..." she mumbled.

"You're WHAT!? Have you even mentioned it to Hiei?" Yusuke asked.

Hiei was in his room, changing now.

Hikari shook her head.

"Ok...this is bad." Yusuke said pacing and nearly running a hole in the floor.

Hikari sighed. She didn't feel well at all.

"You do know you got yourself into this?" Yusuke said not even believing what he just said. "You and Hiei." he added.

Hikari sighed. Hiei came out of his room. He looked over at Hikari.

Hikari sighed. "Hiei... I think... I think..." she then mouthed 'I'm pregnant'

Hiei's eyed widened. He went back into his room and slammed the door.

Hikari winced.

Kurama had heard everything and he wanted to make Hikari feel better. He knew she was upset about it.

Hikari looked away. Trying to hold back tears.

Kurama walked out of his room and over to her. He walked over to her and tried to comfort her.

"If I know Hiei...there is now way he could be mad at you. More likely, he's mad at himself. Just let him sort it out." he said calmly.

Hiei sat on his bed right now thinking. He was mad at himself.

Hikari nodded sadly.

Kurama rubbed Hikari's shoulders. "You'll be alright. You'll see." he said.

Hiei came out of the bedroom a minute later. He walked over and pulled Hikari into his lap.

Kurama decided to leave them alone and he grabbed Yusuke (who was still in a frozen state of shock) and led him out of the room also.

Hiei sighed. "Hikari... you're aren't going to fight..." he said.

Hikari pouted. "I am fighting! No matter what!"

Back at the girls room. Yukina jolted from her sleep. "I just know something's wrong. I think it's Hiei." she said quietly. Then she slipped into something more appropriate and left the girls apartment.

Hiei sighed.

"Fine. But if the baby gets hurt, I will never talk to you again" Hiei said.

Hikari sighed but nodded.

Yukina knocked on the door quietly...not wanting to interrupt anything.

Hiei blinked. "Come in"

Yukina stepped in cautiously. "Hiei, is there anything wrong? I..I sensed it." she said quietly.

Hiei sighed.

"I'm pregnant..." Hikari said.

Yukina didn't look surprised. "Oh, I see. Well, I hope you wont be fighting. I...don't think I could bear to see you get hurt." she said concerned.

Hikari pouted. "I wanna fight though"

Yukina looked worried and she sat down next to Hikari. "Well, maybe...but not the team leaders...nor in the finals. I'm sorry but I don't want you to get hurt. I hope I don't sound over protective. " she said smiling weakly. "Save that for Hiei."

Hikari chuckled. "But I want to... please Yukina... I am the strongest on the team... and if the baby is in trouble I will give up right away. I promise..."

Yukina hugged Hikari. "Promise?" she asked.

Hikari smiled. "I promise"

Yukina smiled cutely. "Ok then."

Hikari smiled still.

*day of the finals*

Hikari walked to the stadium. If any demon smelled, they could smell Hikari was pregnant.

Kurama noticed the demons were staring. "Get your eyes off of her or you'll pay with your life. I do hope you think I'm kidding." Kurama said acting fairly protective of her. Kitsune instincts probably.

Hiei was just glaring at the demons meanly. If one tried to touch Hikari or something... they would be dead.

Koto's voice rang all through the stadium again. "Once again they have placed me in the horribly cramped broadcasting booth and replaced me with Juri. Man, I'm getting sick of this. I think it's just cause they want a ref. to fit with the new 'creepy' lookout of the stadium. But maybe thats with me."

Hikari walked to the arena. Hiei followed her. Kuwabara followed them.... far far away.

Hikari had been having mood swings... and... Kuwabara already had been scratched enough.

Kurama walked besides Hikari and Hiei still. He was acting kind of weird.

Hikari was really wondering why.

Kurama turned to her. "Um...I'm not really sure. It's just how I am I suppose. I guess you could blame it half on my Yoko side and half on my human side."

Hikari chuckled. Nodding.

They reached the main part of the stadium.

"I trust you will not be fighting today Hikari." Kurama said, half asking.

Hikari sighed. "I am going to fight"

"I already told Yusuke I was fighting the team leader too...."

Yukina looked concerned and she walked next to Hikari her head hanging low.

Hikari sighed. "Look. I will be careful"

"But you promised." Yukina said.

"I promised I would be careful..."

Hikari was waiting to see what Kurama would say.

Kurama walked over to Yukina and put his hand on her shoulder. "Yukina. Don't forget, if she get's hurt, you do have healing powers."

Hikari nodded. Agreeing with Kurama.

Yukina was on the verge of tears. "Ok." she said.

Hikari hugged Yukina. "Yukina... I will be very careful..."

Yukina hugged her back. "Ok." she said the glow to her eyes came back.

Hikari smiled.

She waited for Koto to say something. 'I swear to God if she says something about me being pregnant I will kill her' Hikari thought to herself.

Koto watched Hikari. She saw the look Hikari shot her and decided better of it. She kept her mouth shut about it.

Hikari yawned. She waited for the fight to begin. "I will go first" Kuwabara said.

Yusuke glared at him. "Yeah right KuwaBAKA! You lost us our first match with whatever the @#$%^&* you did. I'M fighting first."

Kuwabara stuck his tongue out. "Fine!"

Yusuke kissed Keiko...kind of in secret cause he didn't want Koto to see...then he walked up to the ring. Juri was standing in the middle of it.

Hikari sat down. Watching. Her hands on her stomach somewhat.

"Well, team Urameshi's team leader Yusuke will be fighting the first match of the finals against team Tsunaku. Their first fighter will be...Namiko! Let the match begin...oh, and this is only my second year folks so be nice to me." Juri said into the microphone.

Hikari just watched.

Hiei sat by Hikari. Hikari moved into Hiei's lap.

Yusuke fought Namiko bravely. He laughed. "I can't believe a weakling like this got into the finals. Geez." he said as he used a spirit gun and hit Namiko hard...almost enough to knock him out.

Hikari watched.

Namiko stood up and started babbling. "Blah blah blah.." Yusuke said. He was getting ticked. "SHUT YOUR FACE!!!" he screamed and he punched him continuously until his face was barely recognizable.

Yusuke stepped out of the ring. Juri sat dumbfounded.

Hikari just watched.

She found that amusing.

"Ok...I don't think there is a need to count. YUSUKE WINS!" she said loudly.

Hikari sighed. "3 more fights then it's my turn..." she mumbled.

*2 fights pass*

Hikari just sighed. She was waiting...

The total was 2 to 1. There was one more fight before the finals that Hikari would fight in.

Juri called the team members from both teams over to the ring.

Hiei went onto the ring.

"Start!" Juri yelled.

Hiei ran after the opponent.
