Hurray! For the first time ever I have over 100 reviews on a story. This deserves a celebration. I think it is time I thanked all my reviewers personally starting with a special thanks to the most recent and most loyal reviewers.

The Forbidden Fox - As the first reviewer of this story and one of my most faithful reviewers I thought you should be first. Thanks for all the support, especially with the babies names. Sorry all I could do was use the aunts and uncles first initials but our favorite Auntie did kind of get honored in both names.
Bootsie - I love Kurama as a male too but having him be a girl has been kind of fun. Don't worry though he'll be his hot hunky male self again soon.
Kitsune Bandit - Thank you for the complements on my writing. This really has been lots of fun.
Hiei obsessor - You're right, a jagon on one of the babies would have been really creepy. I'm glad you're pleased with the kit's names. Thanks for the nice reviews.
Heartbrokenalloveragain - You were right about it being twins. It wasn't exactly a secret but I do love to tease. Thanks for all the great reviews.
KyoHana - My son is a huge Y-G-O fan and Kaiba's one of my favorites too. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
sil-kurama - You're right Yoko & Shuuichi are hot and have been gone way too long but I promise they'll be back very soon. I'm glad you reviewed, every one means so much to me.
Jasmemini - You have faithfully reviewed from the very beginning. You are one of the reasons I wrote a fourth story. Thank you.
Silver Rose & LadyRainrin - Both of you are new reviewers for me. I'm so happy you've enjoyed my stories. Hearing how much you like them is why I write them. Thank you. I love it when someone new finds my stories.

I want to thank everyone who took a moment to send me a review on this story (and some of you even my other stories). I hope I don't leave anyone out, if I do I'm so sorry.

I don't know if people like these personal notes but when I see an author has responded to their reviews I always look for my name so I thought I'd give it a try. Thank you for indulging me, now on with the story.

P.S. Don't know if anyone's looked at my profile lately but the picture posted there is kind of what I wanted Kurama's female form would look like in this fic. Sorry I can't give credit to the artist, I have now idea where the picture came from.

Standard disclaimer: I do not own YuYu Hakusho.

Chapter 20

Kurama leaned against a tree at the edge of the Youko garden secretly watching her mate play with their children and grandchildren. Hiei sat in the thick grass surrounded by babies. Hiro sat across from him using a large flower to tickle Kyba and Kuryn. The littlest, baby Yukiko, sat in Hiei's lap giggling along with the other kits.

Kurama was amazed at how much they had all grown in just two months. Both Kuryn and Kyba could sit up on their own. Kuryn had begun crawling last week and Kyba wasn't far behind her. The two were already showing signs of being quite the mischief makers. They were into everything and usually very noisy about it.

Yukiko, however, was a different matter. She was much smaller than the other kits, content to sit in someone's lap rather than on her own. She loved to watch the other babies play, giggling at things they did, but rarely showed interest in joining them. Yukiko was the sweetest child. She never fussed and was always happy.

Kurama smiled as she looked at her baby daughter, 'She's definitely a cuddle bug, I wonder if it's the fox in her or if she inherited it from Hiei'.

Kurama's smile grew as her eye's moved to Hiei. 'Boy would I be in trouble if he knew I called him a cuddle bug.' Kurama stepped away from the tree and went to sit behind Hiei, wrapping her arms around him. Hiei leaned back for a kiss and to whisper in her ear. "You'll only be in trouble if that particular nickname ever crosses your lips with my name attached to it."

Blushing, Kurama gasped. "Hey, no cheating!"

She laughed when she was suddenly pounced by Hiro. "It's about time Nana. You sure do take a lot of naps now. Mom just had a baby too and she doesn't sleep that much."

When Kuryn and Kyba saw Hiro with Kurama they both crawled over and baby pounced her making her laugh as Hiei moved away to make room for them all. "No Fox-Boy she doesn't, but I have two kits keeping me up at night and I'm like four hundred years older than Shina."

Hiro's eyes got wide. "Wow, Nana, Papa-Kuro's right, you really are old."

At Kurama's glare Hiei held up a hand in defense. "Don't look at me, Kuro did it. I would never dream of calling you old an old fox."

Knowing that teasing a Youko about their age could be dangerous Hiei scooped up Yukiko and headed for the den.

/Thanks for selling me out Hiei. Now I'm really going to get it./ Hiei mentally smirked at Kuronue. /Yeah right. I just hope I get to reap some of the benefits of when you 'get it'/

Kuronue couldn't disagree. /You're right there Hiei. I do love it when our mate's out for revenge. Kurama knows the best forms of sexual torture. I can't wait./

Carefully taking a baby in each arm Kurama stood and followed her mate. 'They think their so sly. I wonder what they'd do if I didn't react to their teasing. Yeah like that's going to happen. I'll see if Shina will keep the twins for their afternoon nap. My mates obviously want some of my special attention.'

Meal time had become quite an ordeal at the demon's home. Yokuro took care of Hiro while Shina nursed Kuryn. Hiei or Kuronue took care of sweet little Yukiko while Kurama nursed a rather demanding Kyba whowas always hungry and didn't like to wait to eat. His sister would patiently wait her turn, never fussing at being fed last.

Knowing that the twins would only be able to nurse for one more month Kurama had begun mashing regular food for them to try. Kyba took to this right away, always willing to copy anything Hiro and Kuryn did. Yukiko however only seemed to like some of the mashed fruit her parents gave her. She would shake her head and flutter her little wings at anything else. Everyone would laugh at how cute she was and Hiro would offer her all kinds of things just to watch her.

Kurama however was concerned. In one month she would be a male again and unable to nurse her silver Chimera kit. Seeing the look on Kurama's face Hiei understood and tried to reassure his mate. "Kurama, she'll be fine. No one ever nursed me and I did just fine on fruits and veggies until I was big enough and strong enough to hunt. She's just taking after me."

Nodding at him, Kurama smiled. "I know you're right Hiei. She may have Kuro's wings and Yoko's coloring but in every other way she's just like you. I just can't get past years of ningen training on good nutrition. Not to mention the Youko in me wants my kit to eat meat."

Shina moved to take Yukiko in her arms. "Don't worry Mama. If my sister's not ready to wean when the time comes I can always nurse her for a while. At the rate Kuryn's learning to eat real food she won't nurse any longer than Kyba."

"Thank you Little Fox. She's just so little I can't help but worry about her." Kurama did feel better about her kit but couldn't help but be a little jealous that Shina might get to spend what Kurama considered to be her special time with her kit.

With lunch over Kurama and Shina settled all three kits down for a nap. Kurama thanked Shina for babysitting then went looking for Hiei. A quick search for his ki found him in the tree house.

When Kurama got there she found Hiei sitting naked on the bed. "Took you long enough Fox. I am definitely in need of some of your special attention before I let you punish Kuro for calling you old."

Kurama purred her response as she did a slow, sensual strip tease for him. "You've been a bad little demon too Hiei. You've been cheating and using the jagon to read my thoughts. I think I'll have to punish you first and let Kuro suffer a while."

Fully aroused Hiei swallowed hard as the last of her clothes hit the floor. He took a moment to appreciate her beauty before answering. "I've been a really bad demon Fox so we may have to let Kuro suffer for a really long time."

Kurama's tail flipped in excitement as she slowly crawled up the bed to Hiei. "Really bad huh? Why don't you tell me in detail just what kind if punishment you think you deserve and I'll do everything in my power to see that you get it Koibito."

/Hiei, this isn't fair. I was bad first, that should be me Kurama's doing that to. Hey, she's never done that before. When's it going to be my turn/ Hiei was almost too far gone to growl. /Shut up Kuro/
