Walking into the small cabin Kurama lay the small demon onto the bed. He knew that the transformation had not been complete, because his young lover had not drunken all of the liquid in the vile. He had not become a woman, but his firepower's had been suppressed so that the child inside him would at least be slightly safer. "Sleep well my love, and may you wake happier then when you laid your head to rest." Smiling slightly Kurama pressed a gentle kiss to his loves forehead. "Sleep well." He whispered one final time before leaving the room.
The next morning brought the sun into the small cabin, with it came the chill of the snow and the smell of cold air. Shivering Kurama snuggled against the smaller demon beside him, expecting the warmth he usually received from his lover's body. He was wrong. The flesh he touched was as cold as his own. Sitting up Kurama smiled at the small form beside him. Hiei was beautiful, his hair long and tangled around his head.
Kurama had never really liked girls all that much but he thought he could love Hiei as a girl just as he did while he was male.
Shifting beneath the blankets, a shudder ran along his spine. Eyes sliding open Hiei looked up at his mate and companion. "What are you staring at?" Pausing his eyes widened in horror. His voice was higher that it usually was, he sounded like a little kid.
"Inari, I sound like one of those ningen brats." He cursed; Kurama chuckled pulling the smaller form closer to him.
The next few months would be tricky. Hiei had only half transformed, his ice aspect had taken over, but he was not female. So there was now a 50/50 chance that Hiei could die instead of definite chance. It didn't help his state of mind very much. He was still worried about his little love. Though Hiei would never stand to be worried over so much.
Kurama felt Hiei rise from the bed. Turning he followed his mates procession towards the bathroom near the end of the hall. Sighing he rose from the bed fallowing the smaller demon. He had a strong feeling that Hiei was going to have to live with the morning sickness through his entire pregnancy.
Lifting the small form off the floor the redhead carried the small bundle up to the bedroom. "Poor thing." Kurama whispered laying Hiei in bed. The little demon didn't even have the strength to yell at the Kitsune for patronising him. He just wanted to curl up and go back to sleep.
Neither boy knew what awaited them at the end of this road, but both of them knew that the road to get there was going to be even harder then what a waited.
They days passed and the two made themselves as comfortable as possible. Hiei's temper was not fairing well. He would have almost violent mood swings. More then once had Kurama found himself the object of his lover's anger. He sported the bruises as proof. When Hiei cried everything changed. Even if the demon had committed murder, you would forgive him for it at the sight of those tears. If only he had been so quick to cry when they had gotten caught steeling from Koenma.
Walking into the bedroom Kurama found his love sitting on the windowsill, his eyes cast out of the wintering landscape. "I hate snow." Smiling lightly Kurama reached around the smaller boys waist pulling him close, he laid a hand on to Hiei's rounding stomach. He couldn't help but feel sorry for his little fire- fly. Hiei had never asked to be thrown into this mess. He supposed it was all do to, what humans called, fate.
Outside the wind whipped through the trees. A lone figure stood within the branches close to the small cabin. "Little demon, don't think you will escape. It's been a while, one more trick do I have to play. Your little child, not quite so innocent. By the hand of your son shall you perish." She cackled.
Four months had come and gone, leaving only weeks till Hiei's child would be brought into the world. Neither of the two demons living within the cabin knew the fate that awaited the fire-demon once his child came into the world.
. The pain tore through his small body as he lay against the pillows. Kurama sat to one side, caressing his cheek. Yukina was on her way; thank Inari. They had sent for her yesterday, when Kurama had noticed Hiei's odd behaviour. He had turned the bed into a nest. Surrounding himself with pillows. It was the only way he could find comfort. He had lost all sense of appetite. A calmness had settled over him, leaving him curled against the pillows, a hand resting against the flat of his stomach.
Yukina came through the door at a run, a bag held in her hand. She moved to the bedside, shooing Kurama out the door. Laying a hand against her brother's stomach she sighed. Everything was proceeding as planned. She bent kissing his forehead. When his eyes opened, revealing deep blue eyes, she gasped. She had never seen such deep blue eyes on anyone. Well she had once, on Touya. Touya had the same blue eyes that Hiei now possessed.
"It's alright niisan." When another pain ripped through his body. Yukina was forced to hold him down. "You have to lay still Hiei." She pleaded pressing him back down into the blankets. Her hands began to glow, with a deep white light. A warm heat filled him, he sighed leaning back. Yukina smiled. "Just a few more minutes brother."
Kurama looked up when the door opened. Worry and relief filled his entire being. "You are the proud father of two beautiful baby boys." She smiled allowing Kurama entrance to the bedroom.
Approaching the bed slowly. The redhead grinned at the sight of his small lover lying there with his two precious little boys. He had a feeling that each child would possess an aspect of Hiei's power. One would have his firepowers, and the other his ice powers.
Smiling he bent to kiss the young boy. He loved Hiei more then anything. Nothing anyone did would ever change that. It wasn't possible to change it. They has children now and everything was going to perfect.
