Kat: A request fic for Annabella of Jericho654 upon the guide lines: Kurama-Kuwabara-Yusuke. That's it, that's all she gave me to work on. So... I'm pulling this out of my ass. I owed Anna for a while, since she was so kind to me when I was sick, and so sweet to me when I was down. So... Right out of my ass comes...
Peanut Butter and Pickle Sandwiches.
It was a hot, sticky, humid night. It was that kind of night where if you didn't preoccupy your time in the Air Conditioning, you were to die of two major things, boredom, and heat stroke. Kurama and Hiei were of Romping in Wal-mart, the thought of getting caught made it even more exciting for Kurama, and Hiei would do it anywhere, he wasn't ashamed.
Kuwabara lay splayed out on his back, Yusuke, naked, and sticky lay ontop of him, trying to regain his breath. Now don't get the picture Yusuke Dommed dear old Kuwabara, that was far from the truth, but Yusuke was bored, and Kuwabara hadn't been in the mood, it being 'Too hott for sex'. So Yusuke took it into his own hands, and tackled Kuwabara. Of course Yusuke had his way with him, if himself getting pounded proved he was in control.
They were gonna have Yusuke 18th birthday party, Shizuru, and Atsuko suggested getting drunk, and they had more or less willingly agreed. Sadly this was the setup for a very bad situation, which would alter the way the team would then on operate.
The party got started, and Atsuko, and Shizuru proved they knew their stuff at the bar, and became the bartenders for the night. It was held at Yusuke's house, and the furniture (or lack there of) had been pushed to the side, so the music could be pumped up, and everybody could dance. Koenma and Boton showed up with a few Underworlders, and Jin and Touya came wrapped in eachother. Kuwabara noticed Hiei had made sure Yukina wouldn't go, because there would be alchohol, and Kuwabara was bored, occupying his time with getting as drunk off his ass as was humanly possible. After awhile he started hitting on Atsuko, and Shizuru sat him on the couch, far away from the booze, muttering 'Too old and drunk for you'
Atsuko was drinking far more than making drinks, and after about an hour, Kurama showed up at the bar. Shizuru and Yusuke had planned to get Kurama as Drunk as they could, bring some life into him, some light that they'd never quite been able to see. Hey, maybe if Kurama was drunk, they'd be able to convince him to do random acts of complete idiocy, take a picture of it, and blackmail him later.
Atsuko gave him the most potent drink there was, and quite alot of it. If Kurama drank the whole thing, and could still see straight, Atsuko had another one waiting. Kurama asked for another glass, and Atsuko gave it to him. Even Hiei would be drunk by now, and luckily, as was Kurama. Kurama still had his head about him though, and went to lay down in one of the bedrooms.
"The alchohol is making my blood boil." He whispered to Hiei, and Hiei, who was slightly tipsy, didn't quite hear him, so he sent the drunken Oaf to look after him, while he tried to get up Botan's skirt.
Kuwabara wasn't feeling so hot himself, and went to go check on Kurama, maybe lay down himself. He'd have a hell of a hangover tomorrow. Kuwabara slipped into the bed, and snuggled close to the body next to him. He was a snuggler by heart, and a lover by choice, but right now, a snuggle just sounded his speed. Kuwabara nuzzled into the warm hair, and wrapped his arms around whoever this was, maybe he entered the wrong room, and it wasn't Kurama. His hand rubbed the stomach subconciously, and to a fox whose blood was as hot as he was feeling, that was an invitation.
Kurama flipped over, hair highlighted with white streaks, and turning whiter, slowly transformed from the sweet Suiichi, to Youko Kurama, who would take what he wanted. And did he ever.
The next thing either of them remember is Suiichi waking up, still quite inside of Kuwabara. Kuwabara woke when Kurama pulled out slowly. Kuwabara turned over, expecting to see Yusuke, and ask him why he was Dom, but he saw a blushing, embarrased Kurama. Kuwabara and Kurama sat there in silence, when Yusuke opened the door.
"Ooh... Someone got a little too tipsy last night, huh, baby?" Yusuke kissed Kuwabara, knowing full well that where ever his ass went, or his penis was, he still was Kuwabara's first, last, and only true love.
"Uuh.. Yeah..." Kuwabara blushed, and sat up. He laid back down immediatley. "I forgot why I don't sub more often..." Kuwabara moaned and stood up quickly, knowing he had to get used to it eventually. Kuwabara and Kurama got dressed. "We speak of this to no one." Kurama ordered.
"Wouldn't have it any other way." Kuwabara nodded.
Kurama left the room to search out a toilet, and to maybe find some advil or something. Kuwabara, now dressed, sighed, and held his head. "So, how was it?" Yusuke asked.
"Can't remember. Couldn't've been too mindblowing. Nothing like you..." Kuwabara smiled, and held his head, he had to find a toilet, too. "I hate hangovers..."
Except he threw up every morning for a week. "That's IT!" Yusuke growled. "I'm worried about you! You've gained weight, and you're throwing up everything you eat! It doesn't make sense! I'm taking you to Genkai!"
"I dun wanna go!" Kuwabara whined, pathetically.
"You're going, or else!" Yusuke dragged Kuwabara all the way to Genkai's.
Genkai was more than surprized to see Kuwabara in his PJ's, being led by Yusuke, who seemed to have hit Kuwabara several times, just to get him to cooperate. Genkai thought for a moment. Kuwabara must've been sick. He never got sick, though... Maybe it was serious... Did she have the means to take care of him?
"So, what're the syptoms today, boys?" Genkai asked, laying Kuwabara down on a bed.
"He's gaining weight, but he can't keep anything down. It's been going on for a week. Could you give him something?" Yusuke told calmly, looking at his lover very worriedly.
Genkai ordered Kuwabara to strip down to his boxers, and he did, slowly and clusily. Genkai was shocked. Kuwabara must've gained 6 or 7 pounds! This was unheard of, even if he was sick, Kuwabara's weight NEVER fluctuated... GenkaiLaid Kuwabara down, and pressed softly on his stomach, a little rounder, but still firm... Genkai pressed a little harder, and gasped softly... She felt something... several somethings... They... moved slightly... Genkai took Kuwabara to another room, where she more or less used an Ultra sound on his stomach...
"Kuwabara... You're pregnant with Septuplets..." Genkai said, straining herself, just so she could talk. "And I don't take Yusuke did this to you..."
"After my party, Kurama and him were both drunk... and they..." Yusuke's eyes watered up. He had wanted to be the one to get pregnant by Kuwabara... Because he was half demon that was possible, and since Kurama had been in his Youko form (Yusuke suspected), he had gotten Kuwabara preggies...
Kuwabara just nodded at the news. "Kurama can never find out about this. Got it? I'll have the children, but I'll find someplace that'll take them in. Kurama can never know." Kuwabara decided.
"I think it's best if he did know, they are his." Yusuke mentioned.
"They're in my body, I'll do with them what I wish..." Kuwabara whined. "I don't want him to know, it would be way to embarrassing, and Hiei would slaughter everyone of them. Who knows what'll become of us no less." Kuwabara sighed. "He may even want to get rid of them..."
"Okay, he'll never know." Yusuke agreed, and nuzzled Kuwabara. "I'd take care of them as if they were my own."
"You want to keep them?" Kuwabara asked, his eyes lighting up. "We could never keep it a secret if we did."
"We'll keep the pregancy secret, but I want babies with you, Kuwabara, even if it means I get to be ontop for a while." Yusuke winked.
"I can't promise anything, boys. IF he asks, I will tell, but if he doesn't ask me directly then no word of it will escape my lips." Genkai nodded.
"Thank you, Gramma." Yusuke smiled.
Withing four days the team had a mission, and to hide his now slightly showing stomach, he wore an oversized hoodie, and hoped no one suspected anything. After all it was like 79 out at night. No need for a coat or anything. Kurama had treated it like they always had, and Kuwabara and Yusuke followed along. It was just a normal mission. They'd sleep on the ground, eat what they found, and fight Demons.
When the first night fell, and it was time to sleep, Kuwabara fell asleep instantly, and Yusuke lay, curling protectively around the babies. Nothing would happen to them. They were his, he didn't care who fathered them, he loved Kuwabara with more than he'd ever actually have, but love is funny that way. Kurama had an inkling all day. Something smelled funny. Something smelled familiar, something smelled so much like he did... Kurama woke Yusuke, and spilled his guts to him.
"I smell myself somewhere... I don't know where... It's like this creepy doppleganger or something. It's coming from out that way. Maybe if I change into Youko I can pin point it..." Kurama thought deeply.
"Don't waste your energy. You probably just dropped something, like that time Hiei was sure I was pregnant, an it turned out I just had a piece of his clothing stuck in my shirt." Yusuke sighed. "Go back to bed. It's probably nothing." Yusuke assured, and curled back around Kuwabara.
"Maybe just to calm my spirits..." Kurama started to change.
"If you even go Youko I will slit your throat." Yusuke growled. They were his, he had to protect what belonged to him, the children, and Kuwabara. Maybe Kurama would take both away from him.
"What are you protecting, Yusuke?" Kurama asked.
"Go to bed." Yusuke growled, and Kurama sighed.
"Fine. But I believe I should have some say in it if it has anything to do with the mission, if it will effect it in anyway... I want to be in on it." Kurama said stubbornly.
"Damnit, fox, Go To Bed." Yusuke hissed.
Kurama, knowing Yusuke was stronger, decided sleep was the best thing. Little did anyone know that Kuwabara's power would soon be sapped. With the Kits taking all his food and nutrients, he would have to survive on his Spirit energy. He'd gone far too long without enough food to feed eight. Kuwabara snuggled closer into Yusuke's protective warmth, and slept on.
The next morning they were ambushed, and Kuwabara was for some reason unable to draw out his Spirit Swords.
"It won't work!" Kuwabara 'eeped', and climbed a tree.
"Maybe you're doing it wrong!" Hiei yelled, fighting off 3 of a hundred angry demons.
"Leave him alone!" Yusuke growled. "He's just sick."
When they were safe and everyone had been dead, Kuwabara climbed down. "They just won't work..."
"Well we killed the bad guy..." Kurama pointed. "Maybe we should take him to Genkai."
"I already took him." Yusuke sighed. " He's got a stomach flu, and his body is using all the energy to feed himself, since he can't keep anything down." Yusuke defended.
"But he looks heavier..." Hiei mentioned.
"He's wonderful and perfect! Leave him alone!" Yusuke growled, took Kuwabara's hand and led him home.
Kurama knew right then and there that something was seriously wrong. Normally Kuwabara could defend himself, and would call Hiei an anorexic bitch. Hiei said, normally 'And proud', which was obviously an inuuendo Kuwabara would never understand. Kurama switched to Youko, and followed Yusuke home.
"What's running through your mind, fox?" Hiei asked.
"Kuwabara isn't sick, I'm no fool. Yusuke is hiding somehting, and it has everything to do with me." Kurama growled. "I smell myself on Kuwabara."
"You coupled, won't the sent linger a few days?" Hiei asked.
"Not more than a week at most." Kurama sighed.
"Maybe you got the poor boy pregnant." Hiei said, and laughed hysterically.
Kurama's eyes opened wide. Why else would Yusuke sleep like that, stand up for him, and a flu would not make Kuwabara gain weight! Kurama dropped to his knee's.
"He's carrying my Kits... He's carrying my first litter..." Kurama said shockedly, and all he wanted to do then was go hold Kuwabara's stomach, hold Kuwabara, tell Kuwabara he'd take care of him, and that he'd be there to raise them right by his side. He wasn't giving up his first litter. It was the most important.
Yusuke laid Kuwabara down. "I'm so hungry..."
"What do you want to eat, babe?" Yusuke asked, smiling sweetly down at him.
"A Turkey..." Kuwabara sighed. "I'll eat the whole thing, and pay you back later..." Kuwabara promised.
"No need to pay me back, I'll go get you a turkey." Yusuke left the house, and locked the door. He didn't want to leave Kuwabara behind, but he had to, if he met up with Kurama he'd never be able to lie to his face again, not with a preggy 'Bara right there with him.
Kurama, Youko form, slipped through a window, he had to see for himself. Kuwabara was shirtless, laying on the bed, holding the swollen stomach, and humming softly. Kuwabara looked up to see Youko kurama, and immediatly pulled the blanket over his stomach.
"Bad infestation of worms!" Kuwabara rolled onto his side.
Kurama chuckled softly, and sat on the bed, flipping Kuwabara onto his back.
"Is it true you are carrying my Kits?" Kurama asked.
"Genkai tell you?" Kuwabara asked,disappointed, and flipped onto his back.
"No, found out myself." Kurama smiled. "I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna be right there holding your hand, Kuwabara." Kurama placed a hand on his stomach.
Kuwabara looked up at Kurama shockedly. "You aren't gonna take em away? Or make me get rid of them? Or hurt them or me, or Yusuke?" Kuwabara asked.
"I'm not meaning to intrude into your personal relationship, but you are carrying my first litter, and I'm not going to sit back, I want to raise them."
"Like hell you are!" Kuwabara growled. "I'm raising them."
"I meant with you, and possibly Yusuke." Kurama sighed, and smiled. "I would never take them away." Kurama put an ear to Kuwabara's stomach. "How many?"
"Septuplets." Kuwabara groaned.
"Seven... Seven!" Kurama smiled, and kissed Kuwabara's stomach.
Kuwabara groaned, at held his stomach. "Yusuke's gone out, he's getting me a turkey." Kuwabara sighed. "I'm just so hungry."
"You have eight mouths to feed, I wonder why." Kurama chuckled.
"Kurama? How are they gonna get out of me?" Kuwabara asked, holding his stomach.
"Right here..." Kurama placed his hand on the underside of Kuwabara's swollen stomach, and took Kuwabara's hand. "Your abdomen is making a slit right here..." Kuwabara felt it, it was right where the stomach ended, and it was only about 3 inches long.
"It'll hurt huh?" Kuwabara felt the slit softly.
"Like pushing a watermelon out your nose. Seven times." Hiei said, sitting on the window sill.
"Hiei!" Youko hissed. "Don't scare him!"
"It's true." Hiei shrugged.
"I don't care. I'm still having them." Kuwabara sighed. "How long?"
"Five or six months more." Kurama assured , and put his ear to Kuwabara's stomach.
Yusuke, who had been there all of 3 minutes, dropped his things, and his Demon half took over, and he changed to his Demon form.
"Get the hell out!" Yusuke hissed. "You have no right to intrude here. Get off the bed, and out of my house."
"He's carrying my kits! I have every right!" Kurama stood, and said calmly.
"Get away from my mate. That is your last warning!" Yusuke growled from deep in the recesses of his throat.
"Not a chance." Kurama stood his ground.
"Guys, honestl-"
"Back out of this!" Kurama and Yusuke hissed at Kuwabara in unison.
"Get out. I will not refrain from killing you." Yusuke growled.
"You wouldn't. Not infront of Kuwabara." Kurama smiled.
"Hiei, stop them!" Kuwabara ordered.
Hiei, thinking about interfering, didn't move. He knew how important these Kits and Kuwabara were to him now, and he knew that soon he'd be pushed out of the circle completely. The minute Kuwabara stepped into the bedroom, and into the bed, he had already lost Kurama forever. He knew that interfering would be insanity at it's purest point, but still, something tugged at him to step inbetween the two, and he figured it was Kuwabara.
"Hiei, get out of the way." Kurama growled. "This isn't your fight."
"You both know very well what must be done. You will go into the kitchen in a calm fashion, and if this isn't sorted out by the time we go down, I'm taking Kuwabara to Genkai's and putting a sheild around the temple so neither of you can see him." Hiei said brashly.
"Fine then." Yusuke turned, and tossed Kuwabara the turkey, and some peanut butter, and went to the kitchen to put the groceries away. Youko followed, and left the two in the room.
Kuwabara covered the turkey in peanut butter, and pigged out.
"The solution is easy, you stay away." Yusuke growled, turning to put some groceries away.
"You know that won't work." Youko 'tsked'. "I'm entitled to see my kits."
"And you can. After they're born." Yusuke growled.
"He's carrying my children! I have every right to help him. It is my job to." Kurama growled.
"No, it's my job, he's my mate!" Yusuke hissed.
"You don't deserve him!" Kurama yelled, and Yusuke was taken aback by this. Kurama lose his cool? He'd better make a safe deal.
"But he loves me." Yusuke said.
"How about I stick around, and help where you need me to." Kurama sighed.
"Then why stick around? We won't need you." Yusuke growled.
"Soon the mood swings will start, then the weird food cravings, soon he'll been insatiable, and then he'll only be 2 months pregnant." Youko said in a low tone. "You won't be able to handle this on your own. Not with 7. If I wasn't a fox spirit he'd only he having 1. But foxes have litters, normally of 3 to 5. He's carrying 7, and I'm not going to let them be raised like Kuwabara was. Without a father."
"Get your stuff." Yusuke growled. "But if I see anything I don't like, like you in his bed, or in his room when he didn't call for you, or you being too close to him, you're out of here."
"I have every right to touch his stomach, and be near my kits." Kurama growled.
"You don't go near our bed, got it?" Yusuke frowned deeply. "Never."
"If he asks for me, I will tend to him." Kurama smiled, but this smiles did not indicate compliance on his part.
"You've already defiled it and everything else I've held close to me, what more do you want!" Yusuke yelled, his expression of pained tolerance.
"Yusuke." Kurama sighed. "I never meant to intrude on your happy home. I was drunk, we both were. I didn't know what your mother gave to me, but it was too potent, and I went to bed. He came after, and laid beside me. I was drunk. He was drunk. It didn't mean anything. Now I have to do all I can to repent to Kuwabara for ruining his hopes and dreams. I'm going to help him however I can, and if you love him as you say you do, you'd do the same!" Youko's face changed into a somber expression. "I've killed a little boy by doing what I did to him."
"Kurama..." Yusuke placed a hand on Youko's shoulder. "Kuwabara and I had been trying to get pregnant for many months. You didn't ruin anything. If anything they are 7 little miracles, and I don't want to share." Yusuke chuckled. "I know they aren't mine, but they do belong to me, and I do love them."
"They are my responsibility." Youko said with a sincerity he only used when talking of his human form's mother. "Just let me take care of him, let me help you both."
"Would it benefit the kits?" Yusuke asked.
"In total honestly, yes. After they are born, I am the only one after Kuwabara who will be able to feed them." Youko sighed.
"How does that work?" Yusuke asked.
"Kitsunes are funny creatures, Yusuke. It doesn't happen in foxes, but the male who gets the other pregnant is the one who well... This is rather embarassing... we lactate." Kurama blushed maddeningly red. "It's to insure that the father sticks around."
Kuwabara and Hiei walked down the stairs, Juwabara waddling more than walking.
"Have you come to a conclusion?" Hiei asked.
"Kurama can stay." Yusuke murmured softly.
Kuwabara had finished his turkey, and was currently napping with his head on Yusuke's lap, Yusuke's hands running themselves through Kuwabara's hair. Kurama sat on the floor, nuzzling Kuwabara's stomach softly cooing into the stomach. Kuwabara stirred unhappily in his sleep, and shot up, and held his stomach. Kuwabara held the stomach protectively, tears streaming quietly down his cheeks, landing on his stomach.
"I'm having these kits." Kuwabara swore, and Yusuke held him close.
"No one is going to stop you." Yusuke assured.
"I wasn't dreaming, Yusuke. It was a premonition." Kuwabara shuddered.
"What happened?" Kurama asked, placing a hand on the stomach.
"It was a week before my due date, and... something went wrong. I had stopped going on missions, and well, I had to go help you guys. Except I was killed, someone stuck their hand right through my stomach, and I saw each of them fall to the ground, crying hysterically, and I couldn't help them. I couldn't move. I saw the man laugh, and run away. Hiei was there, he took each of my children, and brought them to Genkai's temple. My spirit had left my body before Hiei got there, so Hiei couldn't help me. He took all of them, and I followed them. He brought them to Genkai, who checked each of them, and they were fine. Hiei left them under her care.
He went back, and he buried me, telling my body that he was just repaying a debt he owed to me. I followed him, and he went to Kurama and You. He told you what happened to me, and where the Kits were. Kurama ran for Genkai's and you headed to my grave. Still, I followed Hiei. He went after the man who killed me, and killed him with his bare hands. Still I followed Hiei. He went to Shizuru, and then to Atsuko, and then to Shiori. He went to Koenma last, and told him of what happened.
Hiei left for the Temple, and took three of the boys. He said he would raise them, and still I followed him. He took them to where I think was his territory, and I saw my boys grow up right before my eyes. I couldn't go anywhere near them. I couldn't see their faces. Hiei brought theb oys to meet their siblings, two girls, and five boys. Grown up without me." Kuwabara held his stomach.
"It's just a dream." Yusuke sighed, worried badly, but hiding it.
"No! It wasn't!" Kuwabara yelled. "Why can't you just understand!"
"It's not unnatural for pregnant males to get Premonitions from the Kits. I assume one or two are psychics with the ability to see future events, but we can't let this rule our lives. It might not come to pass." Kurama assured, and nuzzled the stomach.
