A Lover's Destiny

Chapter 9- Naturo's Grand Entrance Into the World

Yusuke was all the way on the other side of the house. He heard Hikari screaming and covered his ears. "Man, I wonder if human screams are as bad as demon screams...if so...I'm not too sure about me and Keiko." he said taking a pillow off the couch and covering his head.

Fortunately, Kurama's mother had left before it all happened. She had a lot of shopping to do.

Hikari pushed harder. She let out a scream as it hurt so bad.

Yukina helped her some more. She was overjoyed that soon she would be an aunt soon.

Keiko rubbed Hikari's hand and helped her with her breathing.

Hiei was saying softly 'It will be okay. Everything will be fine' but it wasn't helping much. Hikari pushed again. She let out another scream.

Keiko looked at Hiei. He looked so helpless. She walked over to him. "I don't think that's helping much. Tell her how to push and stuff." she whispered to him.

Hiei nodded and instructed Hikari how to do everything.

It helped somewhat.

Yukina nodded at Keiko. She mouthed the word 'thanks'

After about 45 minutes of this, Yukina nodded at Hiei. "Would you like to do the honors?" she asked him kindly.

Hiei was already grossed out and shook his head 'no'

Yukina shrugged. "Kurama do you have any scissors? We need to cut the umbilical cord and tie it off when it comes out." Kurama nodded and went to go get them.

"Any time now Hikari." Yukina said as she grabbed a towel.

Hikari pushed again.

Kurama came back in with the scissors. "Here we go Hikari." Yukina said. She was getting a bit uppity...she was very excited.

Hikari groaned in pain. She was so weak right now... she didn't think she could push again.

"One more time please? Hikari...that's all we need." Yukina said softly.

Hikari pushed again.

Yukina got the towel ready. She caught the baby just in time. "Last chance Hiei. You don't even want to cut the cord?" she asked him sweetly. "You wont know what it is till you do."

Hiei shook his head. "I'm grossed out as it is and doing that would just make me sicker..." he admitted. Hikari felt really weak.

"Ok then. Keiko, do you think you could do it because my hands are sort of full?" she asked her.

"Sure" Keiko replied.

And she cut the cord. Just as she did. She let out a squeal. She knew what the baby's gender was.

"It's a boy Hikari. Hiei. You now have a beautiful baby boy." Yukina said and she put a towel on Hikari's stomach and laid him there.

He was crying hard.

Hikari pulled the child close. Hiei smiled softly.

"Hikari..." Yukina said curiously. "What is his name going to be?"

Hikari looked at Hiei and then said "Naturo..." weakly.

Yukina stood up and set the towels down. She hadn't gotten to look at him very well so she walked and stood next to Hikari and Hiei. She looked at him closely. "He really is beautiful." she said softly. Then she hugged Hikari.

Hikari smiled softly. She held Naturo close.

Hiei just watched Naturo. He wasn't really sure of how to take care of a child...

Yukina smiled. She had dealed with children in the world of ice. She was very good with them and loved them very much. She would teach Hiei everything she could.

Hikari hadn't had much experience with children... well none... but she held Naturo smiling.

Naturo stopped crying. Hikari smiled softly.

"Do you have any clothes to put him in?" Keiko asked.

"Well first he needs a bath." Yukina reminded her.

Hikari yawned tiredly. Hiei took Naturo into his arms and Hikari fell asleep.

Yukina turned to Keiko. " I think she did really well. Considering she had no medication." she said.

Keiko nodded. "Yeah. Don't you think so Hiei?"

Hiei nodded. "I thought at least she would hurt me"

"She was a bit...preoccupied." Yukina said smiling.

"I'm surprised she didn't pull your hand off or squeeze it to death." Keiko said laughing.

Hiei nodded.

"Well. Since Hikari is asleep. Would you like to give him a bath? You can't say that's too disgusting for you." Yukina said. "I'll run to the store and buy some clothes for him. It shouldn't take me too long."

Hiei nodded. He went into the bathroom with Naturo carefully in his arms.

Yukina warmed up some water and put a towel and a washcloth next to the sink. "I'll be back shortly Hiei." she calmly said and she left to buy Naturo some clothes.

Hiei washed Naturo carefully.

Keiko went and told Yusuke. She told Botan too cause she had showed up without Keiko noticing. He still had his head covered.

"Is it over yet?" he said cringing.

Keiko nodded. He sat up and put the pillow down.

Botan was sitting next to Yusuke.

Botan sighed. "Only yelling that much without medication was really good" she knew Hikari hadn't used any medication.

Keiko nodded then sat in Yusuke's lap. "Someday Yusuke...someday." she said and she kissed him long and sweet. Yusuke rubbed her sides and he closed his eyes. Keiko was different somehow. These latest happenings had changed her personality greatly. He liked her this way.

Botan just moved off the couch and sat in a chair. Away from them.

'Wish me and Koenma were like that... wish me and Koenma at least kissed once...' she thought. She loved Koenma's teenage form. I mean LOVED.

Keiko broke the kiss and laid her head on Yusuke's chest.

Hiei finished washing Naturo and dried him and put him back in the blanket.

Yusuke only smiled and laid his head on hers.

Hiei walked out of the bathroom and since Hikari was still sleeping, he went downstairs to where Yusuke and Botan were.

Naturo in his arms still.

Yukina came inside. She came in carrying 6 brand new outfits. One said 'Daddy's Little boy' and another said 'Don't ever call me a cutie'. Yukina thought they were VERY appropriate for a child of Hiei and Hikari's. She smiled and brought them over to Hiei.

Hiei smiled softly. Happy Yukina was back.

"You don't exactally know what to do with him do you?" she said sweetly, smiling.

Hiei sighed. "Not really..."

Yukina smiled. "Ok, I'll help you." she said. She then took Naturo from his arms leaving him to go see Hikari alone.

I'll take care of him till Hikari is awake.

Hiei went back upstairs after he nodded a silent 'Thanks'

He sat by Hikari.

Yukina sat down on the couch that Yusuke and Keiko weren't sitting on.

Yukina put Naturo into some clothes...luckily, she had also remembered to buy some diapers.

Hikari slowly woke up. She felt weak.
