Kurama nibbled on his lower lip and tapped the chair's armrest. For a huge castle, it was pretty boring. He already explored what parts he was "allowed" to go and greeted most of the servants. Almost all of them bowed timidly and scuttled off quickly as if he could get them fired.
The kitsune got up and looked outside the large arch-window that was the only window in his room. Drifts of white snow patted against the glass softly as he stared into the shine of the hidden sun. Bare trees and large ice peaks dotted the ground below. He sighed and pressed his warm hand against the glass. A slight fog circled his hand print and the frost outside of it melted.
Then he got an idea.
***
With some warm clothes on he went outside. It was very pretty and.well..cold. Kurama smiled and trudged through the snow. He found a broad tree where he could sit without being surrounded by snow. He leaned against the trunk and closed his eyes.
A few seeds fell out of his hair while he dozed and planted themselves into the tree's rough bark. Kurama turned over and mumbled something in his sleep.
A short time later, he woke. It was nighttime. He slid off the tree branch and felt a cold shiver run up his spine as the wind seemed to whisper "Kurama..."
"Kurama," said a familiar voice. The kitsune looked over his shoulder and saw his lover's red eyes softly look at him from the side of the tree. "Hiei, can you accompany me back to the castle?" he said sweetly extending his hand out. Hiei walked near him and brushed his hand away. He put an arm around Kurama's waist and walked with him to the castle doors. Where a figure was waiting for them.
Armanda sat on a flat rock near the doors, sharpening one of her many daggers. She had one leg bent over the other, and one swinging lazily over the edge. She spotted the two and jumped down.
"Hiei-sama," she said bowing in front of them, "and Kurama-sama." Hiei sighed and wished she wasn't there. "What is it Armanda?"
Kurama blinked. He once saw this girl spying on him and Hiei from a high cliff on their way to the Winterland. He had been wondering who she was.
"It's regarding your campaign."
Hiei's heart seized up, did he have to go on another trip for another year? A.R. saw his expression and rolled her eyes. She was never going understand the concept of soul mates or love. "Don't worry you highness, the whole thing is over. We won. They lost. You don't have to worry."
Hiei sighed in relief, letting go of his death grip on Kurama. He noticed that A.R. didn't leave. "Is there something else?" he said coldly. Kurama kept looking between the two. "Yes, in fact, there is."
Armanda turned and whistled up at a ledge. An orange and green haired boy popped his head over the edge. "What?" he said in an accented voice. " Move it Kiyoshi," Armanda said in a stern, annoyed voice. The dragon boy sighed heavily and glided down, his giant wings folded neatly on his back as he landed. "This is Kiyoshi, my cousin. He's a collector of wares and specializes in odd objects. He is the one I got the mask from."
"Howdy mates," he said nonchalantly. A.R. nudged him hard in the ribs. He cringed and pulled something out of his winter cloak. It was a clear box, inside was a odd-looking plant. "The Souyouju Plant!" said Kurama, mouth wide. "The Sou-what?" Hiei said, giving him a questioning look. "Well, seems the kitsune knows his gardening," said Armanda under her breath.
((1))"The Souyouju Plant is a very rare, very expensive (at this, Kiyoshi whined under his breath to Armanda why he couldn't just sell it..he got a punch in the ribs for that). It has the capabilities of making a child from the hair of a being. Unfortunately, without a special draught, this plant won't survive. So it must be kept in a safe place and nourished every day till it is ready to bud. And the children in produces only last a week without another special draught. Another downfall is that it'll only produce a child every 3 years," Kurama said a mouthful. Kiyoshi was nudged again, he moaned and pulled out two vials and said glumly, "And these are the two draughts needed. Why can't I just sell them A.R.?"
Hiei was puzzled still, "Why did you bring these?" Armanda sighed with frustration. "Take a wild guest your highness. The reason you needed to marry, other than the curse, was you needed to produce an heir since Yukina- sama is now unable. Since you lover is a male, there is probably no way. So that is why we are giving you these gifts as a..wedding gift I guess."
Kurama smiled widely and Hiei showed signs of happiness. Kiyoshi handed them the objects stubbornly and mumbled under his breath. "We must be going, farewell your highnesses." With that, Armanda disappeared and Kiyoshi took flight.
***
Kurama tended the plant in his room. Hiei sat on the bed, cross-legged and watch the kitsune work. "So? What do we do now?" Kurama motioned him over with his finger and Hiei came over obediently. The kitsune ran a hand through Hiei's hair and plucked a few hairs. "Ow! What sis you do that for?" Hiei said, rubbing his head. "It's all for the cause dear." He braided a strand of his hair and Hiei's hair together and held it out. The plant opened up and ate the hairs. Kurama smiled and put the plant back in its box.
"How long will it take?" he asked staring at the plant. "Don't know. I think around three weeks. Oh, Hiei. We are going to have kids!" Kurama said. There was a knock at the door. "Come in."
Ams peeked through the door, "Your highnesses, dinner is ready."
"Arigatou Ams. We'll be down shortly," the kitsune said, Ams curtsied and left.
"Who is that girl?" asked Hiei.
"Isn't she one of your servants?"
"I've never seen her before in my life.."
~~~ Yippee! Kids!!!
((1)) Ok, this is from a pro manga called on a site ((see my profile for a link)) and there is such thing as the Souyouju Plant. BUT I made up some stuff, it doesn't need intense care, it can produce anytime you want, it does make on-week life-span kids and doesn't need a special draught. The only way the kids can survive, so far, is by swallowing this jewel that I currently forget the name of.which came to the creation of the two kids in the manga by the names of Hiichan and Chibko/Kurara.
