A Lover's Destiny
Chapter 14- Blood Stained Apologies
Yukina ran over to Hikari and tried to help her up. She got blood all over her hands in the process but she didn't care.
Hikari slowly stood.
Yukina looked at Hiei to see if he would do anything or at least apologize.
Hiei went and picked Hikari up, blood getting on his clothes.
Yukina sighed.
Kurama motioned to Hiei to follow him. 'At least Naturo wasn't involved in this.' he thought.
Hiei followed Kurama. Holding Hikari close.
Yukina walked not too far behind. Her head was bowed as if she was ashamed.
Hiei turned around. "Yukina. Please... I am sorry. I just... have never liked Kuwabara and now that you are marrying him... it just made me a little mad"
Yukina just kept walking. She would have to tell Kuwabara the good news later. She didn't feel like it now...not now that Hikari was hurt.
Hikari fell asleep in Hiei's arms. Hiei sighed but continued to walk.
Kurama led them into his house once again. "Bedroom I presume?" he asked, knowing full well that's where Hiei would put her.
Hiei nodded. "Yes if it's not an annoyance" he said. He was really mad at himself. This was ALL his fault.
Yukina walked in but changed her mind and took off towards Kuwabara's house.
She wanted to tell him everything. It didn't feel right keeping it to herself.
Hiei brought Hikari to Kurama's spare room.
Yukina ran right up Kuwabara's front stairs and into his house, not even bothering to knock.
Kuwabara was in the living room. Watching TV.
Yukina ran in and flung her arms around his neck, crying.
Kuwabara blinked. "Yukina. What did he say?"
Yukina was still crying. "He...said...yes...but...now...Hikari is...hurt again...and I..." Yukina said sniffing in between.
She was being hysterical.
She wasn't making much sense either.
Kuwabara blinked. He held Yukina.
She had already confused him.
"I...don't know what to do about it..." she said burying her face in his chest.
"Tell me what happened..." he said stroking her hair.
Yukina looked up and into his eyes. She explained the whole thing. Everything from Hiei throwing Hikari to her crying after she climbed the tree.
Kuwabara nodded.
A tear gem fell onto Kuwabara's lap.
Kuwabara held her. "At least he isn't against it... like I thought he would be..." Kuwabara said talking about Hiei.
Yukina laid her head on his chest again and cried softly to herself. So much had happened in the past few days and she just didn't know what to do with herself.
Kuwabara held her close. "Shh... stop crying..." he said comforting her... hopefully.
Yukina calmed down a bit. She was feeling a little drowsy and lightheaded. She fell asleep.
Kuwabara held her close still.
Back at Kurama's house, everyone was still in the kitchen. With the exception of Hiei and Hikari. Keiko was still holding Naturo.
Naturo looked around. "Mommy... w-w-where's Mommy?" he said. He wanted his mother.
Keiko played with his arms. "She's upstairs. Would you like to go see momma?" she asked him, having the weird feeling that he would actually answer her in a full sentence.
"I... want to see mommy" he said. It took him a little while to say it since.. some of those words he had only heard... not said.
Keiko smiled. She wasn't exactly surprised. She knew he was very smart.
"Ok. Lets go see mommy." Keiko said bringing him upstairs.
Yusuke just sat there staring.
Naturo smiled. Happy.
Hikari was in Hiei's lap. Sleeping softly.
Keiko brought him over to the bed. "He was asking for mommy." she said softly, not wanting to wake Hikari.
Hiei nodded. Smiling a bit.
He took Naturo.
Hikari woke up softly.
Keiko smiled and left the room.
He gave Naturo to Hikari. Smiling.
Hikari held Naturo. "Hiei. I'm thirsty" she said. Hiei nodded and put her on the bed and went downstairs. He went and got a glass of water.
Kurama saw Hiei come down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Is everything alright Hiei?" he asked.
"Yea. Hikari is just thirsty" he said.
"Oh, I see." Kurama said as he sat down at the table next to Keiko. He looked across the table at Yusuke who was still in a state of shock.
Kurama and Keiko both sighed.
Hiei blinked at Yusuke. "What's a matter with him?" he asked Kurama.
Kurama shrugged. "I think he's still surprised about Naturo."
Hiei blinked. "What did Naturo do?"
"He spoke...in full sentences. And I don't think Yusuke is used to that." Keiko replied.
"Oh" Hiei shrugged and went back upstairs
Keiko shrugged.
Hiei entered the room upstairs. He gave Hikari the water and Hikari drank it. She still held Naturo.
Hikari looked up at Hiei. "I want to go downstairs" she got up but her back hurt. Hiei picked her up, Naturo still in her arms. Hiei walked downstairs.
Hiei entered the kitchen. Naturo looked at Yusuke and said "You are funny Yusuke" while laughing softly.
Yusuke fell over. Keiko put her foot on his chest. "Get up Yusuke."
Yusuke scurried back into his seat a bit embarrassed.
Naturo laughed a bit more. "Really funny. Why do you act so weird?" Naturo asked. It was... really weird to see a little baby talking in complete sentences...
Yusuke ignored him. He didn't like babies being that smart. "Babies should be crying for their diapers to be changed...not asking politely." he complained. "Mother dearest, could you possibly remove my wet and soiled diaper within the hour?" Yusuke said in a mocking tone.
Hikari went into a draw and got a fork. She was ready to throw it at Yusuke but Naturo took it and threw it at Yusuke's forehead. Hitting him.
Hiei noticed something. "Yusuke. Since Naturo is my child, and I know the black dragon wave, he can use it. So unless you want to die... shut up" Hiei said.
Yusuke shuddered. "I'd like to keep my ENTIRE body intact if that's alright with you Hiei."
"Well then shut up" Hiei said. Naturo was glaring at Yusuke.
Half an hour later, Kuwabara still held Yukina.
And in Kurama's house, everyone was now in the living room. Hikari on the couch, holding Naturo, who had tried to use his Black Dragon Wave 4 times on Yusuke...
Yusuke was sitting in the corner. 'I still think he should be crying and asking for his baba or something. It just ain't right.' Yusuke shrugged and watched Naturo. 'Man that little kid is gonna kill me. He'll probably accidentally learn the attack and blow me into oblivion.' he thought to himself.
Hikari held Naturo. "Now don't use the attack because I know very well you can use it..." she told him. Naturo frowned. "But I want to make Yusuke cry like a baby!"
Hiei sweatdropped.
"HEY! Why I oughta..."Yusuke said, taking a quick glance at Naturo's face.
Naturo glared. "Jao Ensatsu Kokury--" he was cut off by Hiei. "Naturo, if you kill Yusuke, I swear I will make you regret being born" Hiei said. He knew if Naturo killed Yusuke... Hiei would be blamed by Koenma. Hikari glared at Hiei.
Yusuke nodded.
Then stuck out his tongue. "Don't ever mess with the great Urameshi."
Hiei glared at Yusuke. "Naturo, ignore what I said. You can use the black dragon wave now."
Yusuke backed into the wall.
Naturo started to say it over again. "Jao Ensatsu Kokur--" this time he was cut of by Hikari. "Hiei! Don't tell Naturo he can use it!" Hikari scolded.
Hiei gulped.
The one person he was scared of was Hikari.
Yusuke was still scared to death.
Naturo used one of Hikari's attacks and made a ball of fire in his hands. He threw it at Yusuke.
Hikari glared at Naturo.
Yusuke dodged it quickly and it made a hole in the wall.
Kurama cringed.
Hikari sighed. "Sorry Kurama...." she said.
"Now, my mother wont be too happy about that will she?" he said quietly.
"Put a chair in front of it" Naturo said.
"It's quite alright. I'll pay for it myself." he responded. "No, I don't think that would hide it. Good thinking though."
Yusuke shrugged. "Babies aren't supposed to think." he mumbled under his breath.
Naturo glared at him. He jumped from Hikari's grasp and walked over and kicked Yusuke in the... you know where... hard. Hiei tried not to laugh but it wasn't easy. Naturo came back over and sat in Hikari's lap again.
"Yusuke glared at Naturo, despair in his eyes* Keiko ran to Yusuke. "Y-Yusuke? Are you ok?" she asked.
Yusuke sat down silently. Cringing.
"Stupid toddler." he mumbled. No one could make it out.
Naturo yawned. "Pretty bad when a baby can hurt you" Hiei said.
Yusuke glared at him. "Yeah...right..."
Hiei glared right back at Yusuke.
Hikari held Naturo.
Yukina stirred and woke up. She found herself still in Kuwabara's arms. He was asleep also.
Kuwabara slept silently... for once...
Naturo played with Hikari's hair boredly.
Yukina looked up at Kuwabara.
Kuwabara started to wake up. He yawned and looked down at Yukina. He smiled.
"Mommy... I'm bored..." Naturo said.
Yukina smiled. She was feeling a lot better now. She could sense that Hikari was feeling better.
Kuwabara was happy that Yukina was happy.
Hiei picked Naturo up. "Come on..." he said. "I'll race you" he said. He put Naturo on the ground and ran off. Naturo kept up with Hiei... somehow...
Yukina kissed Kuwabara.
Kuwabara kissed her also.
Yukina pulled away after a couple minutes.
"Gomen nasai for being so emotional earlier. I just didn't know what to do with myself." she confessed.
He smiled. "It's ok. As long as you are ok now"
Yukina nodded. "I'm alright." she said sweetly.
"Good" Kuwabara said.
Yukina smiled cutely.
Hiei and Naturo ran outside... Naturo tagged Hiei and ran away from him.
Kuwabara held Yukina.
Yukina hugged him tightly.
Hikari moved to the window and watched Hiei and Naturo.
"Ok. Maybe we should start planning." Yukina said still smiling.
Kuwabara smiled. "Yea. We should. So... when do you want to get married?" he didn't care.
"Well...September is beautiful. How about then?" she asked.
"Fine with me"
Yukina smiled. "Good."
They began planning. Yukina got out some wedding magazines she had purchased and had been storing under the couch at Kuwabara's.
Kuwabara smiled. Helping.
Hikari continued to watch Hiei and Naturo chase each other. She was able to keep up with watching them easily.
Keiko walked over to the window and watched also.
Hikari smiled. Still watching.
Keiko stared. "Whoa! Look at them go. I can barely keep up with them."
Keiko's eyes moved from left to right.
Hikari smiled. "I am surprised you can keep up with them"
She continued to watch them.
Keiko smiled.
Yukina was looking through the magazines. She was sitting on Kuwabara's lap again.
"I like this one. How about you Kazuma?" she asked sweetly, pointing to a beautiful wedding cake.
"I like that one too" he said as he kissed her cheek.
Hikari glared out the window as she saw Hiei make a sharp turn so Naturo wouldn't catch him.
Yukina smiled cutely. "Ok. Now...how about the decorations?" she asked him, turning to that section of the magazine.
Kuwabara smiled. He looked both at the book and at her.
Yukina smiled and put her hand behind his head. "I love you." she said softly.
"I love you too" he replied.
"Yukina turned back to the magazine. Hm...what should we have the men wear? It will have to be black, considering Hiei will wear almost nothing else." she said smiling.
Kuwabara nodded. "Hm..." he looked through the magazine a bit.
Yukina nodded too. "Ok...and the girls? Hm..." she said looking through the magazines also.
Kuwabara continued to look. He didn't really care.
"How about blue." she said. "Oh, I've just remembered. We have Naturo now too. He'll be so cute in a tux. " she said laughing softly.
Kuwabara smiled. "Yea he will look cute and I don't care what we choose... as long as you want it"
"Ok. That settles most of it. I'll go talk to Keiko and see if she can help with the rest. Would you like to come too?" she asked kindly.
"Sure. I want to be with you" he kissed her cheek again.
She smiled and kissed his.
"Alright."
He smiled. Happy.
Yukina climbed out of Kuwabara's lap.
Kuwabara pulled her back into his lap and held her in his arms. He stood, carrying her. Smiling.
