I don't own YYH. I refused to out-and-out type the word "disclaimer". Dang it. I did it anyway!

Chapter 4: Diaper for Hiei

…Bri…

If you've ever changed a diaper for the first time, you know how mortifying it is having to clean up after the baby. If you've ever been the baby, God help you. It's ten times as bad, because you have to be cleaned up after. I found this out the first time my mother had to change me, but it's a zillion times worse when it came to Hiei changing me. I mean, I liked Koko's fiancé, but…

Don't even ask me how Koko got him to change me in the first place.

Mortification knows no boundaries.

Why couldn't you change Kuronue

"Hn."

Although Hiei didn't really answer out loud, I had a funny feeling I knew the reason why Hiei had chosen to change me instead. My twin brother had a very unique sense of humor and found vast amusement in peeing on whoever was changing him. In the three months I had known him as Okuro Marion Wolf, we had become closer than the near force I would undoubtedly relearn later on in physical science class. We knew each other like the back of the other's hand.

It helped that we both had a past with one Youko Kurama, although it was different personalities of him. I blatantly told my "new" twin that I would not see Kurama ever again, and if he wanted to, he would have to wait until we were old enough to be separated in our parents' eyes.

Hiei threw away the old diaper in disgust and began the arduous task of putting on a new one. I had barely any control over my own body. That would come of my physical mind coming in tune with my body. Other than the fact that my soul was actually about nineteen years old, I was a half human, half fox demon infant.

Hey, you're going to have to do it when you have kids of your own with Koko in three years, ya know.

Hiei didn't answer as he finished sticking the diaper around my waist and lifted me gently off the table. I had to admit, I hadn't actually thought of Hiei as a gentle person, but he'd proven me wrong. Either that, or I was just actually stronger in my halfling form. I doubted it, though, copper kitsune weren't generally powerful. In fact, it took them years to be able to manipulate a simple plant.

I had, of course, requested the absence of roses.

Nothing to remind me of Kurama.

Although, I must admit, I do that pretty well myself. Have you noticed? Okuro stared at me from Koko's arms as the couple put us in our crib. His wide blue eyes narrowed at me when I moved without "comment" to take our afternoon nap.

You never answered my question. Why can't we see Kurama?

The same question he'd asked ever since two weeks after we had come home. Since I had told him we wouldn't be seeing Kurama, ever. Keiko had come over, along with Yusuke and Kuwabara a few times. I swear I think they recognized me, even in my infant form. I refused to let Koko allow Kurama anywhere near our nursery.

Anywhere near me.

I sighed. This was the last time I was going to listen to Kuronue's question. Months of the same question really didn't do a girl good.

I was his girlfriend. My mother in our past life killed him. I don't want to see that again, okay? Are you happy now?

Kuronue stared at me as Koko tucked the blue baby blanket around his shoulders. No. Of course not.

What do you want from me, Okuro?

I want my twin sister to be happy.

Hiei tucked the pink baby blanket around me and the couple turned out the lights. Okuro couldn't see the sad smile that I had on my face, but I think he knew it was there.

Then don't ever let me near Youko Kurama again.

This chapter was short, but I just had to put it up. ;; Hiei, changing a diaper. Come on, admit it, it's funny! And I wanted to reinforce Bri's reasoning for not wanting to see Kurama again. Yeah, so, there's my short, two-page chapter that came two days early.

Also, I wanted to announce my second piece of art for this fic. You can find it on Media Miner Dot Org, under my alias there angel (underscore) indigo. It's called Sleeping Foxes and it portrays a future scene. Here's a major hint on how this is all going to work out: She's wearing a Meikou High School uniform.

Kuramafan-06: I would draw it, but I've already got four requests on other topics at the moment and that's overwhelming enough with this to write on top of that. Plus several other fics…I'm a bad, bad UK.

Celtic Kitty: I'm glad to be providing a good escape from finals, but are you sure you want to divert your attention from them? Of course you do! Nobody wants to focus on school all the time. That was me before I got into anime. Yup, bad times, bad times…

Sillylittlenothing: Actually, if you've seen after Sensui, Hiei becomes remarkably more expressive in his facial features. This is especially true around his friends. I think Hiei would smile a lot more often. And he even laughs just before Yusuke "defeats" Sensui. I like Hiei's character, and I believe I've been true to it.

SilverDragon: Eheh…I loved that review almost as much as I liked Kuronue's little bit at the end. I got a good chuckle out of it. Arigatou!
