Kurama ½ AKA Karasu's Girl

Chapter 17:  Upon the Roof…

***

        "Welcome back!" everyone cheered.

        FK blushed severely as she held Yuuki's basket close (A/N: What are they called?  I don't know…)

        The girls crowded over Yuuki.  "Aww!  Kawaii!"

        They began to fight over who would hold her first.

        "I'm sorry, but you have to wait…" FK laughed.  She set Yuuki's basket down and collected her and her blankets.  She kissed her daughter's forehead and turned to Hiei.  "You first."

        Hiei paled.  "A-Atashi?"

        "Hai," FK nodded.  "You first."

        Hiei shakily reached out.

        "Hold her close, Hiei… don't let her fall…" FK instructed.

        "He's going to drop her…" Kuwabara whispered to Yusuke.

        "Iie, Kuwabara…" Yusuke shook his head.  "He won't.  Look at his eyes.  He's really scared."

(A/N: Ahh… I am looking at LOTR pics… and when I said Kuwabara I thought of Sam… but I like Sam!  How is he directed toward Kuwabara?!  Why the hell am I bantering like this?!  If LOTR did an anime would Sam be degraded to that just a little bit shorter?  AHH!)

        Hiei got Yuuki in his arms.  He shifted his arms a little, trying to find a way for him and Yuuki could be comfortable.  "Ah…"

        He clutched her close.  He felt like a fool.

        "Not bad for a first time, Hiei," Kurama smiled softly.

        Hiei nodded slowly.  "R-really?"

        "Hai!" Kurama said.  "You are doing great!  She's really enjoying it!"

        Yuuki looked at Hiei with a slight grin almost… Kurama had a feeling that even she liked Hiei. 

        She closed her eyes.  'Thanks, Hiei… you have not idea how much you saved the day…'

        Everyone was so happy.  They didn't care how much twisted this was.  Just pausing life for awhile for new beginnings was fine.

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

        Yuri returned home a week later, welcomed from the same crowd.  This time, when Hiei held her, he held her with confidence after practicing on her older sister.  Kurama laughed as Hiei gave her a weird lop-sided smile.  He didn't seem like the type to enjoy this stuff, but he was going to have fun.  His loyalty to Kurama was what kept them together and this was nothing big.  It's just two kits, ne?

        Well… two nights after Yuri came, Kurama walked to his window and started to try and climb to the roof.  He gave up and called Hiei to help.  Hiei jumped up to the roof and pulled Kurama up, too.

        "So… what's up?" Hiei asked.

        "I was just thinking…" FK closed her eyes.

        "…About?" Hiei asked.

        "About the kits and stuff…" she sighed.  "You know, Hiei, you don't have to stay with me… you can leave… I won't be mad…"

        "Why would I?" Hiei asked.

        Kurama stared at him.  "Well… I was thinking how you are such a wanderer and... well… I thought that…."

        "You thought I'd leave you…?"

        "Yeah…"

        Hiei laughed.  "Your girl body is getting the best of you.  Get it into your head.  I haven't left you now, I certainly won't leave you later.  I could never bring myself to doing that."

        "Oh?  The girl body is getting the best of me?  You should talk… you sound just as bad as a romance novel!"

        "I am sure you have been reading tons!"

        "No!  I was reading Lord of the Rings!"

        "I opened that book and all I saw was 'Oh, Frodo… I love you…'"

        "Look!  Just because they are in a master and servant doesn't mean you have to rag on them!  You are gay too, you know!"

        "Demons don't give a shit about sexuality anyway!"

        "Whatever!"

        FK almost shoved him off the roof.

        They stared at the soon-setting sun.

        "You little bitch…" Hiei laughed.

        "Whatever…" FK snorted loudly.

        Hiei leaned his arms on his legs.  "So… you going back to a guy any time soon…"

        "I have no time!" FK yelled.  "I have to feed Yuuki and Yuri… and I have to do so much stuff!"

        Then her eyes downcasted slightly.  "And… I just can't… I don't want them to see what I am really… I want them to have a mother… I don't want them to see the monster I am… they don't deserve it… I am so foolish…"

        "No… I wouldn't say that… I guess it's a good idea… considering that it's for the best… they should have a mother… not a transgender… they will find out when they get older…"

        "Exactly!" FK said.  "I knew that you'd agree!"

~FK-Chan… we have to talk…~ MK started.

*Later,* FK said firmly.

            Hiei nodded.  "I can't disagree.  I can't complain.  This is definitely your decision."

            FK nodded.  "I knew that you'd agree."

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

~You aren't going to tell them?  You are just going to pull a façade till they are old enough to know on their own?!  Are you mad?!~ MK screamed.

*Please understand, MK…* FK pleaded.  *They just don't have to worry… they shouldn't have to…*

~What should they know, then?  Will you mention Karasu?~

*Please stop being so harsh, MK… please… they will know that Karasu is their father… I will make sure of that… but the fact that they are born from mistake… I don't think that they need anymore stress.*

~Guess I can't complain…~

            They were in a closed room, so know one knew about the conversation.

~Let's just go… come on…~

            FK ran to the little bedroom Yuuki and Yuri were at.  She looked at them.

            Yuri was kept in her own bed, just because they didn't want her to risk getting any colds, should Yuuki get any.  She was still very weak.

            "They don't need to know yet… they don't need to know…" FK repeated.

            FK turned to the calendar.  It was January.  The kits were a little more than a month old.  She knew she had to return to school.  She needed to get a job for Yuuki, Yuri, and her mother, and even Hiei, to have food.

            "I have to go back… I got to go back… I will go back…" FK kept repeating.

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

            "Did you hear?!  Minamino-Kun is coming back to school!" some fangirls whispered.

            "Really!  I can't wait to see him!  He missed a whole year of school!  What happened?" someone asked.

            "Supposedly he was raped…" a boy said, trying to see the girls scream.

            "No!  Minamino!" a girl wailed.

            "He needed to recover… it's kinda tramitizing… like when you meet Michael Jackson or something…[1]" Kuroibara[2], a year older than Kurama's class, said.  "My God… I met him once… I had nightmares…"

            "True, true… I hope he's okay…" someone said hushed.

            "Hello?" MK said.

            "MINAMINO!" a parade of fangirls nearly trampled him.

            The boys that liked him waved and the boys that hated him sighed.

            "I'm back!  Please!  Stop!" Kurama said.

            "Oh!  Minamino-Kun!  When we heard that you were raped… we were horrified!"

            Kurama laughed.  'Well it's not like I'm lying…'

            They were all worried.  "Are you sure you are okay?!  Do you need help?!  Are you scared of us now, Minamino?!  We can go away if you need us to!"

            "It's fine… really…" Kurama calmed them.

            They backed off. "Okay…"

            *My God… they make such a big deal… you only got raped, became a transgender, and bore 2 children…* FK said sarcastically.

            Kurama got to class.  "Strange world we live in… they don't understand…"

            *Don't do that!  They'll think you'll start sputtering gollum, gollum!* FK warned.

            ~You got into those books, didn't you?~ MK teased.

            *Yes I did!* FK said proudly. 

            MK sighed as he walked to the classroom.  It seemed almost normal… yet now… there was more to what was happening… and the future seemed almost bright… but we all know that you shouldn't say that.  That jinxes it.

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

[1]= That was a bit of a pun… you see… my brother and I realized that Karasu sorta looks like Michael Jackson… course, he is much sexier!

[2]= You can say that was a treat for the Numb fangirls.  A little Cameo for the cute Goth child, Kuroibara… I love this guy… maybe he should come back…

Please review!

Peace, ♥, and ♂ that look like ♀,

Gabbi
