Gabbi: I'm Baa~~~ckkk~~~!

Kurama: No! I was getting used to your appsense.

Gabbi: Well, I'm back! *that Yu-Gi-Oh! song starts to play*

Kurama: O.o;

Gabbi: MWAHAHAHAHA! MY EDITOR, C-KUN STATED THAT IT'S TUESDAY, KURAMA ½ DAY!

Kurama: Crap.

Gabbi: I won't reply to reviews because they are rather unessicary for the last chapter.  I do enjoy, however, that people understood FK's fear for Yuuki.  So let the writing continue!  BRING OUT THE DANCING HOBBITS!

Kurama: *pales* NO!

Gabbi: Aww. I really wanted to, too. go back Pippin and Merry.

Kurama ½ AKA Karasu's Girl

Chapter 17:  Coming Home

***

            Kurama kicked her heels as she  walked around her room, singing.  The nurses were shocked at her pep considering what she went through. 

            "Miss Minamino, shouldn't you sit down?" the nurses all asked.

            "Nope!" FK laughed.  "I am fine!  I feel great!"

            "She's just hyper." Hiei slipped past the nurses.  "Let her be."

            "Hiei!  You came!" FK said contently.

            ~Yay.~ MK said quietly.

            "I see you are feeling better. the doctors here are shocked. you are so young in their case."

FK laughed. "Yeah, well."

The Male Youko spoke.  "Young?  Yeah ri-"

Female Youko cleared her throat loudly.  "Ahem!  She is still little by our standards!"

FK looked at Hiei.  "What took ya?  I figured that you would be here really quick."

"I went to check on Yuuki," Hiei said.  "I just stopped by to see her in her bed.  She was fine."

"And the other.?"

"A nurse went-"

"Miss Minamino!" a nurse ran to us.  "We have great news!  Your other daughter is recovering!  She is going to be okay!!"

"Really?  Can I see her?!" FK asked, excited.

"Yes!" the nurse said.  "You can't touch her, yet.  She is still on a respirator, but you can still see her."

Everyone sighed, relived.

FK and Hiei walked to a rather large room.

"There is your daughter." the nurse pointed to a glass case that had tubes connecting in and out of the case.

"My God."  FK whispered. "That is cruel."

"She's conscious," the nurse explained.  "You see, there are compartments that you put your hands in.  Be careful.  You can reach for her hand.  She will hopefully reach back.

FK nodded and carefully put her hands through the compartment.

She gently took a finger and touched her daughter's small hand.

MY uttered one word.  "Yuri."

FY gagged. "Control yourself!  It's a mother and daughter!"

"No!" MY yelled. "Yuri.  She reminds me of my sister, Yuri."

FK smiled.  "Then Yuri is her name. it is pretty, like her."

Yuri had red hair like her mother.

She opened her eyes slightly, exposing gorgeous purple eyes.

They cut through FK.

She put her hand out of the gloves, shocked.  She was a beautiful child.  But the eyes were so striking.

She smiled softly.  "I always did like Karasu's eyes anyway."

She laughed and turned to Hiei.  "Take a look."

Hiei peered over her shoulder.  "She looks like you."

"Her name is Yuri."

"Yuuki and Yuri.  I like it."

It's kawaii, no?" FK laughed.

"She'll probably stay here for about a good week or so. then I think she can go home with her sister and you." the nurse said.  "Oh, I just love working here.  You are just like all the other mothers. it's just amazing how a woman can be so kind to such a troublesome little thing. You don't seem to care whatever caused this to happen, you just are that happy, aren't you?"

FK blushed.  "H-how did you know?"

The nurse smiled softly.  "I see it in your eyes you were raped.  I have been working here for 20 years.  I know."

FK could finally see the age in her eyes. 

".You are not the youngest, either.  I saw a 13 year-old once.  It is commoner than some people think.  But it is just so sweet.  No matter what the age, they love the children so much.  Is that your boyfriend?"

Hiei blushed.

"Hiei. he's more than a boyfriend," FK blushed.

The nurse nodded.  "Then you must be the first I have ever seen with a male person they still trust.

She started to shoo them away.  "I suggest you get ready to leave, Miss Minamino."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

            Shiori, Hiei, FK, and her little bundle against her arm, marched out of the hospital.

            FK held Yuuki close.  "See that dump?  You probably won't see that for awhile."

            ~FK!  She's just a child!  Whatever you say can alter anything!~ MK warned.

            "You just wait and see, Ku-Chan," Shiori said.  "You'll be there for stitches, broken arms, and animal bites."

            Hiei sweatdropped.  "No."

            Yuuki looked at the hospital.  She gurgled a deep noise from her throat. 

            "Yuuki-Chan. shh. shh. Yuri will come. Yuri will come."

            Yuuki cried a little.

            "Mmm. ahmmm.." Yuuki gurgled.

            "Something that always fascinated me about twins. they seem to have a connection."

            Hiei looked at the ground.  "Yeah. I noticed that too."

            FK sighed.  "Hiei."

            They went to the door and sat down in the car.  Yuuki sat in-between Hiei and Kurama.

            Hiei was afraid to touch her.

            "You aren't sick or anything. you can touch her. she has soft hair. and such soft skin."

            Hiei shakily brushed his hand against her cheek.

            Yuuki nuzzled into the touch.

            "Seems that no matter what, she has Youko in her." FK winked.

            Hiei nodded.  "Yeah."

            Yuuki yawned.

            "Go to sleep, Yuuki-Chan. it's okay."

            FK stared at the window.  "I can only imagine how it is like to be with someone, developing with them, growing with them, but barely knowing it, for 9 months. then being pulled away from them and. it must be painful."

            Hiei turned the other cheek, a little hurt.  "Uh."

            "Hiei," FK didn't turn her head.  "You can't go and give me that sh-junk- about how she doesn't need to know about things and everything.  "You have to go and tell her."

            Hiei threw a stuffed rabbit at her head.  "Eat Gabbi-Usagi[1]."

            FK gave it to Yuuki.  "Here, Yuuki-Chan, have your dose of insanity."

            She kissed her daughter's forehead and stared at the window again, imagining how everyone would react to Yuuki and Yuri.
