Chapter 2

Kurama's subconscious slips into the dream world.

*Kurama's Dream*

Kurama was running, his aching muscles screaming for his body to stop. He would not... could not stop... not until he found it. His body felt as if it had been running for hours, days... maybe it has. Suddenly, Kurama stopped. He heard a small cry... a baby's cry. Slowly, Kurama turned around a gasped. There was a baby laying on the ground wrapped in a blanket... his baby! Kurama gracefully knelt down, scooped the crying bundle in his arms, and began to sing.

My tiny angel, my small ryu May Inari give you wings My precious baby, my golden one To you I wish to sing

I'll love you forever, deep within my soul May you always feel that I do Your father and I waited so long... And Inari granted us... you.

The baby calmed down and cooed up at its mother. Kurama smiled down at his child, leaned down, and was about to kiss its forehead when it disappeared. Kurama blinked back tears forming in his eyes, fear rising in his chest. Frantically he searched.

" Is this yours... Kurama?" a cold, emotionless... but silky voice called behind him.

Kurama froze immediately. 'I know that voice...Oh God' Kurama slowly turned around to face the man with the voice. What, or who, he saw made him gasp in surprise and fearful shock.

" K...Karasu?!" Kurama saw Karasu standing without a care... and holding the little baby, his little baby!

" Surprised?... I thought so." Karasu drawled in a lazy voice.

" But I... I thought that..." Kurama was too flabbergasted to finish his sentence, so Karasu finished for him.

" ...That I died? Well, obviously you didn't. Let me explain. I knew what you were going to do, so all I had time to do was conserve my energy. Luckily, I had just enough to live... in one piece."

" What do you want, Karasu?" Kurama asked firmly, masking his fear of the creature that held his and Hiei's baby.

" Let's see... what I want... well, Kurama, you of all people should know. I want you. Not just your delicious body, but you mind also.

" No. You will never have me. I belong to Hiei and I always will. Nothing can change that... not even you."

" Then this", Karasu held up the baby, " dies. You know I'm capable of it." Karasu smirked.

" No. Please... please don't harm Kogare!"

" Then what do you choose? A dead baby... or me?" Karasu smiled maliciously.

Kurama had never came across a more difficult decision that this. 'What am I to do? If I choose not to go with Karasu, then Kogare will die. If I choose to go with Karasu, then Kogare will be safe... with Hiei... Oh Hiei! What will I do without him? He is everything to me... but at least they will both be safe.' Tears welled up in Kurama's eyes. He knew his answer.

He looked up, tears streaming down his face, and answered. 'Hiei, please... oh please forgive me.' " I will go with you, Karasu."

" That was a wise choice, Kurama. I didn't think you would want Hiei to blame you for the cause of death of your child."

Gently, Karasu placed the baby on the ground and immediately Kurama was running towards it. He knelt down and cradled his little one. He kissed every little finger and every little toe. He kissed the little button nose that their child had most definitely gotten from Hiei.

Karasu walked over to Kurama, stood behind him, and clasped his hands around Kurama's neck, " It is time to say goodbye. You're mine now."

Kurama gave the child one more hug and sat it down, " I love you, Kogare. I'll miss you always. Tell your father... that I'm sorry and ask him for forgiveness for me? Until our next live my little golden ryu."

Kurama slowly stood back up with tears freely flowing down his cheeks and with Karasu still squeezing his neck. They walked a few feet until Kurama stopped and turned to look at his and Hiei's product of love. Karasu thought this would be the perfect opportunity. Suddenly, the child exploded.

" KAGARE!... NO!" Kurama screamed and crumpled to the ground on his knees. Kurama looked up at Karasu and asked the only thing he could.

" Why?... Why did you do this?"

Karasu looked down with amusement written all over his evil face, " Because, Kurama... you will bear my children... not some half-breed bastard's who has a nasty attitude."

" No..." Kurama said in a faint whisper.

Karasu looked like he was just punched in the stomach, " What do you mean 'no'?"

Kurama was obviously in shock, " I will not have any children fathered by you." Kurama spoke in an eerily calm voice.

Karasu just reared back his arm and punched Kurama hard in the face. Kurama was sent sprawling backwards until he hit a tree. Karasu ran up to him and immediately pinned him to the tree. Karasu punched him again, but this time in the stomach. He punched him repeatedly all over his body. When he was finished he looked down. Kurama was covered with blood and not putting up much of a fight anymore. Karasu reached into his coat and pulled out a rope. He quickly tied Kurama's wrists to the tree and began to work. First he ripped off Kurama's pants, receiving a groan. Then he stripped away Kurama's boxers, leaving the red head exposed. Karasu quickly divested himself of his pants and undergarments and then knelt back down. He spread Kurama's legs wide open, and in one single thrust, he buried himself deep in Kurama. Kurama screamed out in pain as Karasu violated him, tears streaming down his face. Oh, how Kurama wished and prayed that Hiei would forgive him.

As Karasu kept plunging, Kurama felt something tear and screamed out in anguish...

*End Kurama's Dream*

Well, that's all for now. Tell me what you think. Don't worry all you mpreg lovers, there will be more than a mention of mpreg in upcoming chapters... very, very soon. Probably in chapter 4.
