I am so excited. I want everyone to go check out my profile. The Forbidden Fox has drawn the most wonderful fan art to go with this story and I posted it in my profile. First there is an adorable pic of Hiei comforting a female Kurama. That one was easy because we all know what Hiei and Kurama look like. Then there is an awesome one of what the kits might look like as teenagers. It is so cool, what a great imagination. They are just like I described. Both have Hiei's starburst. Kyba has Youko ears and Yukiko has Kuro's elf ears and wings. Yukiko is drawn better than I could ever describe. TFF says Kyba's outfit is like Hiei's on the way to the dark tournament and that Yukiko's is a female version of what Kuro would wear. Her outfit is just the right amount of cute and sexy. I hope everyone that likes them will mention TFF's great work in their review. If anyone doesn't like them (which I can't even imagine happening) I hope they will keep their opinions to themselves because I don't want to hear even one negative thing about them. I happen to think it is the greatest honor that such a talented artist complimented my writing with such beautiful artwork.

In this chapter I'm going to just say thank you to all that reviewed. It mean just as much to me as the fan art does.

Chapter 24

Hiei smirked at the small silver fox's efforts to evade him. Knowing his mate's tactics almost as well as his own, Hiei flitted left and scooped the fox up in his arms as he ran into their home compound.

Kurama gave a small yelp as he was snatched up and folded intohis lover's arms. Conceding his loss he snuggled against Hiei licking at his face and neck. Stopping at the base of their tree house, Hiei squirmed trying to avoid Kurama's warm tongue, growling a warning. "Kurama!"

In his head he could hear Kurama laugh. (You asked for it Koi.) Hiei just shook his head and placed the fox on the ground. "Change back Fox. The kit's should meet their Foxie-Mama and Mama-Kitten first. They can meet your cute cuddly side later."

There was a surge of energy before the silver Youko bent to whisper teasingly in Hiei's ear. "I always knew you thought my fox form was the cutest. I'm hurt."

"Crazy Fox. Our kit's are waiting." Hiei reached out and swatted his mate's sexy behind before flitting up to the tree house where he sensed the kit's were. Kurama wasted no time following.

Kurama tentatively poked his head around the entrance to the tree house. Shina was rising from the edge of the bed where two very excited kits had just spotted Hiei. Both were squealing and bouncing with their arms raised as Hiei sat on the bed to greet them with hugs and kisses.

Seeing Kurama's hesitation, Shina realized he was nervous about how the twins would receive him. With a loud squeal Shina ran and threw herself into his arms. "Mama!"

Kurama moved further into the tree house with his daughter still in his arms. "I missed you Foxie-Mama. Don't worry, they'll sense who you are just as I did when I was little and you and Mama-Kitten would change forms. We'll visit tomorrow. Go get acquainted with your babies. Their bottles are ready on the bedside table."

Shina kissed his cheek before moving to leave. Kurama smiled at her for understanding. "Thanks Little-Fox. Kiss Yokuro and our grandbabies for us. We'll see you all in the morning."

Yukiko, was in Hiei's arms and Kyba was cuddled into his side, both looking curiously at Kurama. When their sister had called the new arrival 'Mama' it had caught their attention. Kyba's black ears were back and he sniffed the air suspiciously. Yukiko shyly gripped Hiei's cloak and hid her face.

Kurama tried to hide his hurt when the kits didn't welcome himas they had Hiei. At Hiei's encouraging smile and nod Kurama slowly made his way to the bed. Yukiko's wide green eyes peeked at him then she clung tighter to Hiei, Kyba gave a protective little growl and Kurama's heart sank. Not wanting to scare them with his height, he knelt by the bed but didn't reach out to touch them.

"Look babies, it's Mama." Hiei moved his arm from around Kyba and reached out for a handful of Kurama's silver hair. Hiei brought the long strands closer for Kyba to smell and feel. Looking to Hiei for approval, Kyba grasped the hair. At the familiar smell of roses Kyba pulled the hair and thus Kurama closer.

"Hello Baby-Fox. I love you." Kurama nearly sobbed his happiness when Kyba squealed and jumped into his arms. Seeing her brother being kissed and licked by the newcomer, Yukiko loosened her hold on Hiei and looked closer.

Again Hiei brought a handful of his mate's hair to the kit in his arms. When she didn't grasp it Hiei used it to tickle her cheeks. She giggled then gave a little sneeze when it tickled her nose. "Bless you my sweet Angel."

Yukiko's large green eyes widened at the nickname. Slowly she raised her arms to Kurama. With Kyba settled in his lap, Kurama gently reached out to lift his daughter. "I love you my beautiful little Angel." Another baby squeal filled the air and Yukiko's silver wings fluttered excitedly as she clung to Kurama's neck for kisses and hugs.

Feeling left out, Hiei reached for Kyba before slipping from the bed onto Kurama's lap. There were tears in Kurama's eyes as he held his family. "Hiei-Koi, I truly believe this is the happiest moment of my entire life."

Hiei snuck past his children to kiss his mate. "I love you Kurama. Thank you for our family."

Sitting in the big chair by the window Kurama smiled at his daughter, sleeping peacefully in his arms. Kuronue knelt by the chair and untangled a handful of red hair from the kit's fingers. Lifting her from Kurama's arms, Kuronue placed Yukiko in the kit's nest where she snuggled into Kyba.

Rejoining his mate he lifted Kurama and settled him in his lap. "That went pretty well I think. Once they caught your scent they weren't even bothered when you changed forms. I think your breast milk in the bottles helped too Kitten."

Kurama cuddled into his mate, tucking his head into Kuronue's neck. "Now that I'm a male again it sounds really weird to call it my breast milk. You're right though, I think it helped a lot. There's enough for Yoko and I to feed them tomorrow night too before it's gone."

Moaning at the hands that had slipped inside his shirt to caress his chest, Kuronue began to return the gesture. "I'm going to miss watching you nurse our kit's but I can't tell you how glad I am to have my Kitten back."

"Then why don't you show me Kuro-Darling." Kurama purred seductively as he worked the fastening of Kuronue's pants.

Some time later they were still in the big chair, their clothes forgotten on the floor. Kurama straddled Kuronue's hips as they made love. When each of them loudly cried out their pleasure it was followed a moment later by whimpers from the kit's nest. Both of them stilled and remained quiet as the kits settled back to sleep.

Kurama snuggled against Kuronue's chest enjoying the hands messaging his back. "That was close. We're going to have to work out different living arrangements soon. They are beginning to cramp our love life."

Kuronue tilted his head back to give Kurama's wandering lips better access to his neck. "Hiei and I have been discussing that very thing. We love hearing your cries and moans when we make love to you and the kits are spoiling some of our fun. We can talk about that later though. In case you hadn't noticed I want you again."

Kurama wiggled against him. "Believe me Lover, I noticed, now take me to bed." With an arm around his back and a hand on his behind Kuronue carefully lifted Kurama and took him to bed. After another round of fairly quiet lovemaking they slept in each others arms.
