Kat-Wings: I think this might be it! Not the last Chapter, there will be one or two more, but I think Kuwabara might have the babies in this chapter, depends on if I have to go to the beach tomorrow...
It was an hour of fierce battle before Hiei showed up with back up. Touya, Jin, and the Toguro's (Who were forced to do this through blackmail), came to the rescue. Kurama was weak, and fading fast, and Yusuke was trying his hardest to continue. Touya and Jin led the assailant away, far into the Makai, until the Toguros, Yusuke, and Kurama could catch up.
Meanwhile, Kuwabara awoke, alone, scared, and with his painful premonition just hanging in the air. Kuwabara, who WAS a whale now, had trouble standing on his own, none the less running, or using his Spirit Swords effectively. Kuwabara's fingertips no longer touched when he hugged his stomach, and there was a gap almost a foot wide between the tips of his finger.
Kuwabara knew what he had to do. He had to help them, they were a horrible team without him. Hiei even admitted so, in his accusing way.
"You got pregnant to disable us, didn't you?" Hiei had growled after a particularly tough mission.
Kuwabara stood, which was a days work in itself, and put shoes on quickly, which Yusuke and Kurama normally did. He opened the door, and waddled down the hall. Kuwabara remembered the time Kurama, Yusuke and himself had wandered into a busy town in the Makai. Kurama had halted traffic for Kuwabara, which Kuwabara thought was very gentlemanly of him. That is until he heard the words coming out of his mouth.
"Come on, Duckie, you can do it!" Kurama later regretted those words.
Kuwabara waddled quickly out the doors, and into a portal that led to the Makai. Some Ogres tried to stop him, begging and pleading, so the wrath of Yusuke wouldn't befall them. When Yusuke had to leave the first time, he made all the ogres and demons promise not to let him get hurt, or leave. Or Else. Kuwabara disreguarded that, and waddled hurriedly to the woods where he sensed his friends, and they ultimately sensed him.
Kurama was down for the count, falling rapidly unconscious, and turning back into his Human form. Yusuke was struggling to stay ahead of this Red-booted attacker. Fast on his feet, Hiei was having the time of his life, or for it. Hiei sensed Kuwabara's slowly approaching form, and when he said slowly, he MEANT slowly. Could the oaf kill himself any faster?
Hiei had not been told of Kuwabara's prophetic dreams. He had not been there the time Kuwabara had spilled his soul onto the two boys all that time ago. He'd been off having prophetic dreams of his own. Kuwabara had no idea what he'd already done for Hiei, just by getting pregnant. Little did Kuwabara know, but Kuwabara's son, which one he hadn't a clue, would be his one day. Hiei had had endless dreams about this Silver haired, orange-eared-tailed angel. Hiei would know him when he saw him, and he would not let him be killed.
Nor the boy who carried him. Hiei concentrated, and wished the oaf was closer. It didn't matter, once he locked his senses on Kuwabara he put a sheild around him, protecting him. Hiei knew it wouldn't work. So he settled for a trick Mukuro tought him a while ago. Holograms. He'd make it seem Kuwabara was where he wasn't. Giving it Kuwabara's scent, energy, and everything. It would knock Kuwabara out for now, but when this attacker realized it was the teams weak point, which would be... NOW!
Kuwabara didn't know what hit him. The moment he fell to his back, his spirit left his body to follow the Hologram. His body lay unprotected, while he saw himself, or what he believed to be himself falling to the ground, dead. His children lay squirming on the ground. Kuwabara, if he had been alive at the moment, would've thrown up at the sight. Kuwabara knew the limits of ghosts and Spirits, but he didn't care, he summoned his spirit sword, and slashed the man repeatedly.
When Hiei got to the attackers body, he was breathing his last few breaths, Hiei let the hologram down.
"Thanks. You may go back to your body, Kuwabara." Hiei said outloud. "About half a mile west. We will meet you, do not come to us."
Kuwabara was dumbfounded, but followed Hiei's instructions. He found his body. Still big as a whale. He settled into it, and resided to staying laying down, far too tired from all this exertion to even sit up. He had done more in the last ten minutes than he had the past three months. Man, was he tired.
Kurama woke up in Yusuke's arms, obviously being carried. Kurama was set down gently, and Yusuke went to Kuwabara's side, crying. Was he dead? Like his premonition.
"I was a fool for not believing you, Kuwabara." Yusuke cried into Kuwabara's chest.
"I'm still living, idiot." Kuwabara hmphed. "I just can't sit up on my own."
Yusuke kissed Kuwabara deeply, biting his bottom lip roughly.
"OW!" Kuwabara pulled back. "Be gentle!"
"You deserve it for scaring me like that!" Yusuke hugged him gently.
"Where's Kur--" Kuwabara's question was answered when he felt a pair of hands on his stomach, followed by the velvety tongue he had grown to know so well.
"I'm here, babe." Kurama smiled.
"Was worried aboutcha is all." Kuwabara smiled. "I'm exhausted." Kuwabara yawned.
"Hmm... It's about time to get you to the den anyway." Kurama noted. "Let's head there."
"I've been thinking, and I've decided I'm done. I don't wanna do this. I think if we just pretend I'm not pregnant they'll go away..." Kuwabara whined.
"'Bara, do you really want to not have them?" Kurama asked sadly.
"I just don't want labor." Kuwabara moaned.
"You're having them." Yusuke sighed, and helped Kuwabara stand up. "But, we're all tired, so no having them until ATLEAST tomorrow, got it?"
"I'll try." Kuwabara sighed.
Kurama and Shizuru stocked the room with food, Eight Months worth, just incase the world above them were destroyed, and he couldn't venture out into the world with their kits just yet. Kurama was a worrier by nature. There was a place where the Kits would be Birthed, and another where they would be changed(Like one every two weeks). There was everything, a small kitchen stocked with food, a small table, Comfy E-Z chairs, there was everything.
Kurama laid down in the Birthing area, Yusuke following, pulling Kuwabara. It was several cushy blankets, Pillows, more blankets, thirty more pillows... Without a matress it was the comfiest thing they could get. Kuwabara kissed the two before he fell asleep. Yusuke watched Kurama for an hour before he fell asleep, Kurama rubbing the slit, Kuwabara letting out dangerously attractive moans of pleasure. Kurama stopped when the spot was red and swollen. Kuwabara was so close. Kurama put his arm over Kuwabara's chest, Yusuke draping a leg over Kuwabara's own legs.
Kuwabara woke up hours after the other two had, a mighty breakfast awaiting him at the small table. Kuwabara tried to get up, but failed. Kuwabara tried, and failed again. Kurama eventually helped Kuwabara up, and to his breakfast. Kuwabara was more than grateful this would be over soon.
"Now it's about time you tell me everything that will happen during the... what is it called?" Kuwabara stuffed his mouth.
"When you have the Kits, you will get very cramped up, it'll feel like you can't breathe, and I'll instruct the rest when it comes time. But unless you sleep, they won't come today." Kurama shrugged.
Yusuke noticed something. Kurama only touched him there when he was sleeping, and could have no possible recollection of what Kurama was doing...
"So after breakfast, you go take a nap, okay?" Yusuke smiled, and Kissed Kuwabara's neck. "Get it over with so you can pound me into the ground."
Kuwabara almost choked on his breakfast, but he blushed and nodded. He couldn't wait.
"If he isn't exhausted half to death." Kurama smiled.
Kuwabara finished his breakfast happily. Honestly, he was scared. He was VERY scared. The only way he got this far was telling himself that he wasn't actually going to go through with it. Now that he was here though, it seemed more real than ever. Kuwabara bit his lip, and hugged Yusuke tightly to him. He knew that this was going to hurt. Badly. More so than the time Rando broke every bone in his body, or the time Oto put his hand in his chest, or any time he had EVER been kicked in the balls.
Kuwabara lay down on his back, himself half sittting up, propped up on pillows. Kuwabara closed his eyes, and tried to fall asleep. Kuwabara counted sheep, he tried everything. Yusuke came, and lay down next to him, cuddling close to him. Yusuke's warmth put him to sleep almost immediatley. Yusuke was always so hot, in both meanings. Kurama joined them, and Kuwabara was deep into his dreams.
Kurama lifted up Kuwabara's shirt, and rubbed the red, swollen slit. Kurama pressed harder, and smiled happily, dragging his tongue up and down Kuwabara's stomach.
"Why do you do it only when he sleeps?" Yusuke asked.
"Some things a Kitsune only does out of instinct. If he knew I was doing this to more or less induce labor, he would jab his fingers up through the slit. It's much better like this. More fun, too, I'd say." Kurama rubbed at a maddenly slow pace.
Kuwabara groaned, and thrust up into the hand. Kurama's eyes lit up. "He's so close, and he doesn't even know it..." Kurama rubbed lightly to get the same reaction. Yusuke's hand was in his pants, taking care of himself, and panting almost hysterically. Kurama rubbed harder, and pulled his hand away, to replace it with his tongue. Yusuke came, and tried to keep himself quiet.
Kurama slipped his tongue slightly into the slit. Kuwabara was panting now. Kurama moved back, and used his fingers once more, slowly letting his index finger trail inside of the slit. Kuwabara was almost howling in ecstacy. Kurama delved a little deeper, letting two fingers enter, before adding a third. Kurama stopped when he felt Kuwabara's body tense. It was time.
Kuwabara's eyes shot wide open, his body was so tense, and he could hardly breathe. "'Rama!" Kuwabara moaned.
"I know, baby, I know." Kurama said excitedly.
Yusuke held his hand tightly, and Kuwabara Squeezed it until it turned purple, blue, and then white. Kuwabara pulled his knees up to his stomach, pushing forward slightly. Kurama but his lip. He had to get Kuwabara undressed. It was only natural. Kurama removed Kuwabara's shirt first, and then his pants and boxers. Yusuke didn't even ask why, he agreed, seeing Kuwa in all his glory. Seeing those muscles tense, seeing those legs pulled tightly to him. Kuwabara released when he felt no more pressure. That was TERRIBLE!
"Rama..." Kuwabara whined. "This isn't fun anymore. I don't think I an do this..."
Kurama looked down with lust in his eyes. "I know it hurts." Kurama nodded.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF THE WORD HURT!" Kuwabara yelled.
"That was only the first contraction, Kuwabara. There are many more to come. Your first one isn't even out yet..." Yusuke told.
"Why did you do this to me?" Kuwabara asked Kurama. "Do you hate me or something?"
Kurama's eyes watered up. He'd never said the words to Kuwabara. "No, 'Bara, quite the opposite. I'm in-love with you." Kurama kissed Kuwabara's lips.
Kuwabara pulled away from kissing him when the next contraction hit even harder than the first. Kuwabara pushed as hard as he could. Kurama ran to get a damp cloth, some ice chips, water, and a wooden chair set closer incase Kuwabara had the need to stand up. Kurama returned to his side, and sat between Kuwabara's legs, feeling into the slit, fingers deep inside him. Kuwabara's contraction released, and he moaned, obviously pained.
Kuwabara pushed for the grater part of an hour, and still, the first baby would not budge. Kurama almost had his fist inside Kuwabara, and he nodded, knowing what was wrong.
"Contractions started, but the water didn't brake..." Kurama sighed. "Pass me a cleaning rod." Shizuru had put several female-birth stuff down there, some make-shift, the cleaner would be used to brake his water.
"Couldn't of found that out sooner?" Kuwabara hissed, tears in his eyes, biting his lip.
"'Bara, it's okay." Yusuke ran his fingers through Kuwabara's hair. "Just remember that after this you not only get me, but I just bet Kurama's been waiting for a round with you..."
"God, Yusuke, don't turn me on, this is painful as it is..." Kuwabara tensed up, and Kurama inserted the rod, pushing it in far enough for it to work. "Man, I think I just pissed myself..."
"No, 'Bara, it's natural." Kurama said softly. "Now the babies will come."
"So I just did that hour of pushing for nothing?" Kuwabara moaned.
"'Fraid so, babe."
"Well, now you have practice!" Yusuke encouraged.
Kuwabara tensed up, Kurama pushed his legs towards his chest. "Lean forward and push." Kurama ordered. Kuwabara leaned forward, pushing as hard as he could. Kuwabara's eyes opened wide. It was right there! Kuwabara let his hand travel down, and he could feel the slit wide open, and the crest, and hair of a Kit. It was right there. Kuwabara relaxed. "Okay, Bara, the skin is going to rip, right here..." Kurama felt the edges of the slit. "It won't bleed, but it's gonna hurt like hell." Kurama warned. "I also failed to mention how big the Kits come out." Kurama worried his bottom lip.
"How big?" Kuwabara asked worriedly.
"Almost toddler size..." Kurama squeaked.
"WHAT!" Kuwabara asked, and felt himself tense up. He surpressed it. It WASN'T coming out Toddler size. "Are... are you joking me?"
"No, I'm not, Bara." Kurama sighed. "Now push!" Kurama pushed his knees to his chest, forcing Kuwabara to push.
"A-Ahh! S-Stop! Please!" Kuwabara begged. "S-Stop! IT HURTS!" Kuwabara screamed.
Yusuke kissed his lips softly. "You're gonna be just fine, 'Bara." Yusuke said, stroking his hair, kissing his face, holding his hands, rubbing his neck.
"P-Please!" Kuwabara pleaded, crying in pain. "M-Make it stop!"
The Contraction ended, the Kit's head stretching the slit, making it be more than just the pain during the contraction. Kuwabara's eyes were filled with tears that fell down his face, and onto his chest. Kuwabara bit his lip, making it bleed profusely. Kuwabara begged softly for it to stop. Kuwabara's body began to tense, and there was a swell of horrendous pain. The slit had ripped 3 inches more.
Kurama pushed Kuwabara's knees up almost until he couldn't breathe, making him push twice as hard, for air, and for the Kit. Kurama didn't let up either, he kept pushing, harder, and harder. Kuwabara untensed.
"Is it out?" Kuwabara begged for this to be true.
"Not yet..." Yusuke whispered softly.
"You're doing great." Kurama said, and he could say it quite honestly. "One more contraction, and he's out! Yusuke, pass me the sissors."
Yusuke passed them to him. Kurama looked down at the slit. The worst thing is, that the slit healed itself up between Kits... Since most only had one child, but Kuwabara was having Seven. Kurama's mind was racing as to how he could keep it open... He'd cross that bridge when he got there. Kuwabara's breath slowed down, and he was quite thankful for the moment of reprieve. Then Kuwabara's body tensed up.
"D-Don't make me do it!" Kuwabara begged. "Can't I just sit this contraction out?"
Kurama didn't meet Kuwabara's eyes, because he knew he'd give in. Kurama pushed Kuwabara's knees to his chest, and kissed the stomach repeatedly. Kuwabara pushed, as hard as he could, Yusuke running his fingers through his hair, kissing his neck to distract him some. Kuwabara wailed in pain, and his body released the Kit.
Silver hair, long, orange fox ears, orange fox tail, male. Kuwabara cried hysterically for a whole minute, while Kurama cleaned off the Kit, and detatched the ambilical cord, giving him the most adorable belly-button. Kurama stared into the eyes of his first born son. Kurama didn't bother covering the Kit, he just put him on Kuwabara's chest, and let him hold him.
Kuwabara was Immediatley in-love. Kuwabara held the Kit close, nuzzling it with Yusuke for a few minutes. The Kit looked confused, and looked at all three of them. Which ones did he belong to? Yusuke kissed the Kit's stomach softly, Kurama played with his feet, his hands, his nose. Kuwabara ran his fingers through the silken locks, and the child closed his eyes contently.
"Now you must sleep for us, alright? Your brothers and sisters are on their way." Kurama said softly to the toddler like Kit.
" Hold it!" Kuwabara's eyes flared up, and he flipped the baby over, and saw the tail. Kuwabara pet the tail gently, and the Kit was asleep within a minute. Kurama almost had a stroke at the cuteness that projected.
Yusuke took the Kit form Kuwabara's arms, and placed him gently in his lap, petting his tail, and ears softly. Kurama took the cleaning rod, and sighed when Kuwabara put his hads over the slit.
"Babe, It'll hurt less after the first one." Yusuke noted.
"Uh... No, it will hurt equally, if not worse." Kurama sighed. "Your body healed the rips." Kurama bit his lip.
Kuwabara was about to cry hysterically at that. Kurama sighed, and put Kuwabara's hands at his sides. "Kuwa, let me do this."
"No." Kuwabara's hands replaced themselves.
"You let me do this or you don't, either way I'm doing it." Kurama growled, his silver ears put down in an angry fashion.
"You wouldn't hurt me like that would you?" Kuwabara asked, scared now more than ever.
"Kuwa, I have to. I'll just put something in the rip to keep it open next time, okay?" Kurama asked, and kissed Kuwabara's stomach. "Please? The sooner we get this done the sooner you can pound into us."
"No sex is worth this pain." Kuwabara whined. "Please, don't do it to me."
Kurama sighed, and pulled Kuwabara's hands away from the slit with one hand, and slipped the cleaning rod into him. Kurama didn't meet Kuwabara's eyes. Kuwabara screamed, and pushed Kurama's hands away, but the deed had already been done, and liquid spilled out. Kuwabara looked ultimately betrayed, and glared daggers of hate at Kurama. Kurama bit his lip, and was kicked away by Kuwabara. Kurama, who was now well across the den, tried to return to Kuwabara.
"BARA!" Yusuke yelled. "Don't do that!"
"He could've given me atleast twenty minutes!" Kuwabara growled, before another contraction hit him. Kurama was back at his legs, pushing his legs into Kuwabara's chest. Kuwabara pushed.
Kuwabara screamed in pain, and when the contraction ended, he pulled himself away from Kurama. Kurama just closed the distance. Kuwabara growled deeply, which turned into the helpless cry of pain that came out of his lips. Kuwabara pulled his legs to his chest, and he felt the ripping, but suppressed the cry of pain. Kuwabara held onto Yusuke's hands, Kurama sitting helplessly. Had it been that bad of him to want them out?
Kuwabara panted heavily, and tried to catch his breath. Kurama stood, and got some water, he wasn't going away, and he wasn't just going to watch as his kits got birthed. After a few rejection from Kuwabara, Kurama returned to his legs, and saw the crown of the kit's head. Long orange hair, white ears. Kurama felt it was far enough out to pull the baby out, and latched in to it. Kurama pulled gently, making sure not to harm Kuwabara or the Kit.
Kurama pulled the Kit out, and grabbed the scissors, tying it quickly, and dryiong the kit off. Kurama quickly put some oil on the slits, making so it wouldn't heal over.
To be continued...
