Too Close For Comfort
Chapter 10: Telling Kurama
The next few days consisted of Kitsumi and Senko's girl talk. Hiei was gone most of the time as he did not feel like listening to their insane giggling. Therefore, Senko and Kitsumi were alone together most of the time. Sometimes they would go out for walks in the woods to ease their stress. But mostly they would converse about the men they loved. Kitsumi finally admitted to herself that she did, in fact, love Hiei. She would lay awake at night for hours just thinking of certain things about him she had not noticed before. Like the way his chest moved up and down when he breathed. Or the way his slightly tanned chest gleamed in the sunlight. All these kinds of things would make her spine tingle and her insides melt whenever she saw him. Kitsumi told Senko everything. Her fears, her hopes, her strengths, and, most importantly, how much she loved Hiei. Senko, in turn, offered her undying friendship and ability to listen. She would also talk of how she loved Kurama and how she planned to spend the rest of her life with him. Hiei would watch them talking and smile to himself. It was good that they were friends. 'Might as well be since technically they are in-laws.' Hiei thought to himself. He had never seen Kitsumi smile so much. It made him happy. With Seirou gone, the only thing she had to worry about was telling her brother his mate was pregnant.
********(In the Living Room Five Days Later)**********
"Kitsumi...I...uh.." The young neko youkai stumbled over her words.
"Spit it out, Senko." Kitsumi said impatiently. "Well, about you telling Kurama that I'm pregnant. Could you ....not?" Senko finished with a nervous smile. Kitsumi looked at her friend and an amused smile appeared on her lips.
"Oh? And who's the one to tell him then?" She asked.
"I will." Senko replied without hesitation. Kitsumi rolled her eyes.
"Hn, fine. I don't care." She said irritably. Senko jumped up and hugged Kitsumi, earning a gagging noise from her suffocating friend.
"Thank you for being so reasonable, Kitsumi. I don't know what I would do without you!" She finished with a squeal as she let her friend go.
"Die, hopefully." Kitsumi replied with a grin. The young neko and kitsune shared a laugh as they began to throw obnoxious insults at each other. Hiei walked in with the bags of groceries he had been sent out for in his arms.
"Hn, here's your disgusting ningen food you asked for." He grumbled as he walked through the living room and into the kitchen. He began to set the bags on the counter when he heard the insane giggling from the den.
"Do you mind telling me why you two are acting like a bunch of moronic children?" He asked tonelessly from the kitchen. The laughing stopped when Kitsumi began to cough. Senko yawned and scratched her head.
"Hiei, did you get the chocolate ice cream I wanted?" She asked.
"No, they were out of chocolate so I brought this white kind. Don't get any ideas about sending me off to another store to get the chocolate kind either." He called back. Senko and Kitsumi laughed to each other.
"Kitsumi, will you be so kind as to fetch me a bowl of ice cream?" Senko asked her friend.
"Hn, I don't 'fetch' anything. But, yes, I will get it for you. Just remember that when I get pregnant you owe me one." Senko laughed and nodded her head.
"Deal." Kitsumi smiled and walked into the kitchen. She hopped up onto the counter and began to paw through the bags.
"Spinach, YUCK!" She grimaced as she began to throw cans out of the bags and into the living room. Senko watched the cans fly through the air and she chuckled to herself.
"What is the point of me carrying these bags in if all you do is throw the food away?" Hiei asked. Kitsumi smiled at him mischievously.
"Because it gives you a good work out, my dear Hiei." Hiei looked at her and smirked.
"Just get the bowl of ice cream Senko asked you for and stop throwing all the food out." He commanded. Kitsumi jumped off of the counter and stood directly in front of Hiei, her face not even an inch from his.
"I do NOT take orders from you. And I refuse-" Kitsumi was interrupted by Hiei's lips pressing down onto her own. He turned her around and slammed her back against the kitchen wall, all the while holding her lips hostage. Kitsumi let a deep, furious growl escape from her throat and was answered when Hiei growled back. (They like it rough I guess)The two became lost in the feeling of each other. They didn't even notice the sound of the front door opening as Kurama and the others came into the house. Kuwabara walked into the kitchen, having found out that hospital food was not at all satisfying, and accidentally interrupted Kitsumi and Hiei's heated make-out session.
"Woah!" Kuwabara called from the kitchen causing Yusuke, Botan, Keiko, Yukina, and well everyone, to come running into the kitchen. Hiei and Kitsumi did not bother to pull away and Hiei merely looked out of the corner of his eye to see the whole tantei watching them. Kurama looked from his best friend to his sister and put on a Hiei-what-the-hell-are-you-doing?! face.
"Since when do shorty and fox girl go together?" Kuwabara asked suspiciously. Hiei pulled away from Kitsumi to glare at Kuwabara.
"Hey, looks like you two were having quite a time while we were gone!" Yusuke said with a laugh. "Hn." Hiei and Kitsumi replied in unison. While his head was turned, Kitsumi snuck a bite to Hiei's bottom lip before walking past him and into the living room. Kurama looked at his fire youkai friend. "Hiei, I do hope you realize that I do not appreciate you making out with my sister while I am not here. I told you to look out for her, not to violate her." Kurama finished, feigning a serious tone. Yusuke and the others cracked up, succeeding in making Hiei's face turn just as crimson as his eyes.
"Don't be embarrassed now. Since you've been caught in the act you might as well fess up and get it over with." Said a very reasonable-sounding Botan.(Scary ain't it?)
"Hn." Was all Hiei said in reply. "What happened while you were at the hospital, fox?" He asked, trying to sound as interested as possible. He wanted more than anything at that moment to change the subject.
"Now, don't try and change the subject, Hi-" Yusuke started but was stopped by a death glare from the enraged fire demon.
"My mother seems to be fine and will return home tomorrow." Kurama said with a laugh. Keiko, Yukina, and Botan walked into the living room, giggling furiously. Kurama sighed and shook his head.
"And to think I trusted you." He mumbled as he walked out of the kitchen and into the den. The others followed him, leaving Hiei to stand there and feel slightly guilty. After a few minutes, he walked into the room. (Here I go: Yusuke and Keiko in a love seat(Cute like), Botan in a chair by herself(Poor Botan. Don't worry, Koenma will be in here shortly^_~), Kuwabara in a chair with Yukina sitting on the floor in front of him, he's playing with her hair(KAWAII!), Kurama in a chair by himself, Senko in the middle of the living room floor, pretending to be interested in the T.V(she's a little apprehensive about having to tell Kurama that she's prego), Kitsumi took Hiei's usual spot on the window sill, (naughty little thing isn't she?)Ok, I am done.*Phew!*) Hiei looked over to Kitsumi, who had taken HIS spot.
'Hn, I should go sit on her.'(eVil Hiei thoughts!)He then noticed Kuwabara and his sister. The red head looked up from Yukina's pretty pearly-blue hair and saw that Hiei was glaring at him. Kuwabara grinned and turned his head back to the braid he was almost done with.
'Baka ningen.' Hiei thought with contempt. He then walked over to where Kitsumi was and sat next to her on the window sill, casually sliding an arm about her waist. Kitsumi snuggled into him and sighed happily. (awwww!) Everyone looked up from the T.V screen and smiled. Hiei ignored their stares. It was then that Senko decided to talk to Kurama. She turned around and walked up to him and sat in front of him on her knees.
"Kurama...I need to talk to you." The male kitsune smiled at her and pulled her up to sit next to him. "What about, my koishii?" He asked gently. Senko's muscles tensed and Kurama knew something was wrong.
"Let's go...somewhere else." Senko said nervously. Kurama looked at her with suspicion but mentally shrugged his shoulders and stood up, pulling Senko with him. Yusuke turned his head to see the two of them go into Kurama's room.
"I wonder what they're going in there for." He said with a wink at Keiko. She rolled her eyes at him, refusing to be amused by his perverted nature. (o_O What a sentence) Kuwabara looked at the couple then gave a sly look towards Yusuke.
"You thinkin' what I'm thinkin' Urameshi?" He asked with a grin.
"Yea!" With that, they ran to Senko's bedroom door, dragging Keiko and Yukina with them and with Botan following quickly behind. They pressed their ears against the wood to hear.
"Yusuke we can't-" Keiko protested. Botan looked at her friend.
"C'mon, Keiko! You know you want to hear what all the secrecy and whispering is. I bet they're talking about-"
"Hardly." Botan was interrupted by a cold voice behind her.
"Honestly, I can't believe you would stoop so low as to listen to my brother's private conversations." Came an equally cold voice.
"Hehe......" Botan laughed nervously while scratching her head. Yusuke stuck his tongue out at Kitsumi and Hiei.
"You both know that you wanna hear what's goin' on."
"Yeah!" Kuwabara joined in. "Denial is not just a river in Egypt you know."
"What if they catch us?" Yukina asked worriedly.
"Can you guys please be quiet! I'm trying to listen! It sounds like there's some really juicy stuff going on in there."
"Yea Keiko! That's the spirit!" Botan said with a grin.
"That's my girl!" Yusuke said proudly, smacking Keiko on the behind. Keiko was so into eaves-dropping she didn't even notice.
"We already know what they're talking about." Hiei said calmly. Everyone stared at the two in bafflement. Just then, the door flew open, causing Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Botan to crash onto the bedroom floor. Senko ran past them down the hallway screaming.
"This is too hard! I can't do this! Why is my life so miserable?!" Kitsumi rolled her eyes.
"Pathetic."
"Disgusting even." Hiei agreed. Kurama ran to Senko, only to have her run away from him and back into the room. He sighed heavily and followed her.
"Senko if it's this important can you at least pick a place to talk about it?" He said in a controlled tone. The neko youkai burst into tears and began to wail.
"What did you DO to her Kurama?!" Yusuke asked with disgust. (He, Botan, and Kuwabara are off of the floor now) The male kitsune gave Yusuke a I-don't-want-to-deal-with-you-right-now look and closed the bedroom door.
"Whoa, that was interesting." Kuwabara said, scratching his head in bewilderment.
"What in the world could be going on?" Botan asked worriedly.
"Hn, none of your business." Hiei replied coldly.
"How come you guys know so much? Tell us! What's going on!" Yusuke demanded.
"Like Hiei said, it is none of your business. You will know shortly." Kitsumi answered, turning away and heading down towards the living room. Hiei gave a glare towards Kuwabara, who had his ear pressed against the door, the followed Kitsumi back into the den.
"They always have so much alone time." Keiko commented. "It's not fair." She pouted. Yusuke looked at her suspiciously then snapped his head back when he heard the reason for Senko's hysterics.
(In Kurama's room)this is gettin' ta be a hella-long chapter
When Kurama turned to face his mate, he saw that she was once again in tears.
"Senko, please. Tell me what is wrong." He begged her. Senko lifted her face out of her hands and ran to him. Kurama held her tightly in his embrace, and Senko began to mumble something into his chest. He pulled her away a little so that he could hear her.
"Kurama...*sniffle sniffle*.......the reason is....*sniffle sniffle* .....that I'm......*sniffle sniffle*..."
"Yes, what is it?" He asked gently.
"I'm....*sniff*........PREGNANT!" She finished with a wail.
(Outside the door)
"Say what?!" Yusuke asked in shock. Kuwabara had fainted onto the floor and Botan, Yukina, and Keiko were giggling with excitement.
don't belive it! We're gonna have a baby!" Keiko squealed.
"It's going to be absolutely adorable!" Botan exclaimed.
"We'll get to take care of it and play with it!" Yukina bubbled. Yusuke looked at them and sweatdropped.
"How could you girls be so happy about this? This means that that little kid is gonna be waking us big manly men up every single day at 2 a.m in the morning!"
"Stop whinin' Urameshi!" Kuwabara said, getting up from off of the floor. "This is a very important thing to happen. We're gonna have a little kid crawlin' around on the floor and-"
"It's not polite to talk about yourself all the time, baka." Kitsumi said icily from behind his back, making Kuwabara jump into the air. Yusuke and the others fell onto the floor laughing. Just then, Kurama opened the bedroom door.
"I'm guessing you guys have heard everything, correct?" He asked with a sigh. Yusuke got up and scratched his head.
"Yea....I guess we did." He said with a nervous laugh.
"Hn, did she tell you, fox?" Hiei asked from behind Yusuke, making him jump as well. Kurama sighed and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand.
"Yes, she did. I just can't believe it."
"Where is she now?" Kitsumi asked with concern.(Senko's her best friend after all!)
"She's sleeping." Kurama answered with assurance in his voice. "I told her to get some rest." Kitsumi
smiled at her brother. 'Senko is right, he'll make a great father.' And she and Hiei walked back into the living room.
"Kurama, you dog!" Yusuke said with a cheesy grin.
"A fox is more like it." Kuwabara replied with an even bigger, cheesier grin. Kitsumi rolled her eyes and looked at Hiei. Hiei looked back at her then towards the fron door. Kitsumi followed his eyes and nodded her head. (Guess where they're goin'?*wink wink, nudge nudge*)
"So Kurama, what are your plans for taking care of Senko and the child?" Came a familiar voice from out of no where. It was none other than the teenage Makai Ruler Koenma. (Finally!)
"Damn it, toddler! I told you not to just pop up on us like that! You almost gave Kuwabara here a heart attack!" Yusuke shouted, trying to use Kuwabara as a cover for his fright.
"I knew he was here the whole time. So don't try to bring me into this." Kuwabara said with a grin.
"Enough!" Koenma commanded. "I asked Kurama a question." They all looked at the male kitsune who was currently finding great intrest in the weaving strands of the carpet. He looked up at them.
"I'll take care of them both as a father would." He answered simply. Koenma nodded in apporval.
"Good, good then. Just making sure you weren't planning to run out on her." He said with a laugh. Kurama smiled a little, but it seemed like he really wasn't in the room as everyone was bubbly with the excitement and anticipation of a baby. His thoughts were racing.
'I'm going to be a father. What should I do?'
/Children? Well this is new. Maybe if I found some stairs and just gave her a little nudge then-\ 'Yoko!'
/Calm down Suiichi, I was just kidding...maybe.
'Gah! I'm not talking to you anymore.'
"Hey, where'd Kitsumi and Hiei go?" Yusuke asked with suspicion. Everyone looked around the room but the two youkais were no where to be found.

"A fox is more like it." Kuwabara replied with an even bigger, cheesier grin. Kitsumi rolled her eyes and looked at Hiei. Hiei looked back at her then towards the fron door. Kitsumi followed his eyes and nodded her head. (Guess where they're goin'?*wink wink, nudge nudge*)
"So Kurama, what are your plans for taking care of Senko and the child?" Came a familiar voice from out of no where. It was none other than the teenage Makai Ruler Koenma. (Finally!)
"Damn it, toddler! I told you not to just pop up on us like that! You almost gave Kuwabara here a heart attack!" Yusuke shouted, trying to use Kuwabara as a cover for his fright.
"I knew he was here the whole time. So don't try to bring me into this." Kuwabara said with a grin.
"Enough!" Koenma commanded. "I asked Kurama a question." They all looked at the male kitsune who was currently finding great intrest in the weaving strands of the carpet. He looked up at them.
"I'll take care of them both as a father would." He answered simply. Koenma nodded in apporval.
"Good, good then. Just making sure you weren't planning to run out on her." He said with a laugh. Kurama smiled a little, but it seemed like he really wasn't in the room as everyone was bubbly with the excitement and anticipation of a baby. His thoughts were racing.
'I'm going to be a father. What should I do?'
/Children? Well this is new. Maybe if I found some stairs and just gave her a little nudge then-\ 'Yoko!'
/Calm down Suiichi, I was just kidding...maybe.
'Gah! I'm not talking to you anymore.'
"Hey, where'd Kitsumi and Hiei go?" Yusuke asked with suspicion. Everyone looked around the room but the two youkais were no where to be found.
