Chapter 2

Hiei woke the next morning with the sun in his face. He growled and turned onto his side, capturing his fox around the waist. The red head moaned in his sleep and Hiei opened his eyes to look at him. His lover's brow was furrowed in pain. He propped himself on an elbow and frowned. Was Kurama in pain from being taken last night?

He was about to coax his lover out of sleep when he felt something rather odd. He didn't know what it was at first. Then when he did, he didn't believe it. It couldn't be. Simply couldn't, and that's all there was to it…But no, it was there when he touched his fox; another presence, another pulse, another life. He placed a shaky hand on Kurama's stomach and almost melted with the onrush of mixed emotions.

There wasn't just one, but two. And they were his; his and Kurama's. Life created out of the two lovers' flesh and blood. He loved them immediately, but was terrified all at once. What would he do with them? Raise them obviously, but he didn't know how to do that! But most importantly, what would this pregnancy do to his fox? He wished for no harm to befall his lover.

Before he could drive himself mad with his own thoughts, Kurama awoke to find his love above him. He smiled. "Good morning," he said sleepily and Hiei nearly jumped out of his skin. Kurama frowned at this. "What's wrong?"

Hiei smiled at him and kissed him passionately. When he pulled away Kurama could see unshed tears misting his lover's eyes. So much love resided in that one look that Kurama almost stopped breathing.

"Nothing's wrong, really," Hiei laughed. "Just strange." Kurama frowned at him. "Kurama," Hiei said more seriously. "I have something to tell you."

All the rest of that day, Kurama didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He kept asking Hiei if he was absolutely certain. And each time the fire demon would laugh and hold his fox as the kitsune shook with sobs and uncertainty.

Now Kurama was sitting up in bed, his hands resting on his bare belly as Hiei brought him a late lunch. The hiyoukai refused to let his fox strain himself by getting out of bed. He placed the bowl of soup on the bedside table and looked at his silent lover.

"I--I can't believe it," Kurama whispered, still shocked. "How is it possible?" Hiei ran his fingers through his fox's beautiful hair.

"I don't know," he shrugged. Then he got an idea. "You know, Koenma might know…or Genkai, for that matter," he suggested. Kurama looked at him. "This isn't something we can handle in a place like a ningen hospital. We probably should get Genkai involved."

Kurama smiled. "You're right. A pregnant male demon might turn more than just a few heads."

"Hn," Hiei smirked. He watched his lover rub his hands affectionately over his firm stomach. Overcome with love he took those hands into his own and pressed them into the mattress as he placed wet kisses on the soft, exposed skin.

"Mmm," Kurama moaned as the soft lips traveled down to the sensitive, still naked skin where his thigh met the rest of his body. His leg twitched as sharp teeth nipped his flesh. He growled impatiently. "Hiei!" The mischievous demon snickered. "Do not tease me, please. Not now," the fox begged.

The hiyoukai looked up from his pleasant work and studied his mate's face fondly. Moving up he captured the fox's lips in a gentle, but deep kiss. "Very well," he said gently. Then added, "bearer of my children." Kurama glanced lovingly at his own stomach before quirking an eyebrow.

"Your children, huh?" Hiei nodded as he continued his soft kisses on the fox's tender mark. "As I recall," Kurama continued. "According to ningens 'it takes two to tango.'"

Hiei choked back a laugh and reached for the scented oil they had made specially for their mating the night before. Rubbing a slick generous amount over his fingers he rubbed his own flaccid member, coaxing it to stiffness. Then he pressed a finger against the sensitive opening and rubbed in small circles around the rim listening with satisfaction to his lover's mewling cries.

"Nnn, Hiei, that's so good." Kurama lifted his hips, doing everything possible to make it easier for his lover to take him. Now, if only the hiyoukai would hurry up and stop teasing his… "Ah"…his entrance. Hiei was positively loving every moment of his lover's writhing pleasure. "Damn you, Hiei." The fire demon chuckled as Kurama's hips bucked. "Don't tease me, please. I want you inside me…Now."

Hiei clicked his tongue in a mock reprimand. "Ningens also say 'patience is a virtue', the fire demon continued with the slow, tortuous preparation that had his fox in such a desperate state.

"Curse what the ningens say," Kurama bucked his hips trying to force the fingers deeper. "If you don't hurry up you will never watch television in this house again." Hiei paused for a moment, weighing the possibility that the fox was bluffing, and whether or not he was willing to take such a risk. Finally, he decided Kurama was too damned sexy, and that he was too damned hungry for his lover's reaction and his own need, to wait.

Placing his hands on each slender hip Hiei settled himself comfortably between the milky thighs and positioned himself against the ring of sensitive muscle. Kurama sighed, content with the knowledge that his lover would soon fill him. Hiei paused at the sound. Gazing down at the slender features of the kitsune, his fair skin glowing in the window's light, soft pink lips parted in labored need, he realized the other-worldly beauty of his beloved mate. Not just now, but in everything his fox did there was beauty and grace. Their children would be the most captivating beauties of the three worlds.

"Hiei?" The fire demon blinked and noticed the emerald eyes had opened during his thoughts. "What is wrong?" Kurama asked, terrified that his life mate might be having second thoughts. Though demon mating was for life, a pregnancy was never a circumstance they thought they would have to face. Perhaps he was having second thoughts.

Hiei smiled reassuringly. "Nothing. Nothing is wrong." His nose brushed his lover's in their closeness. He became serious, looking his fox in the eye. "I love you, Kurama," he said. The kitsune sighed happily.

"I love you , koi," Kurama whispered. Hiei closed the distance between them with a slow, sensual kiss--not one lost in hunger or lust, but enveloped and consummated with love.

Amidst the distraction of the kiss Hiei's member slid easily into the silky heat. Kurama's pained pleasure thrummed in his throat muted against the mouth locked with his. The fire demon allowed his mate a moment to adjust around him before he eased back out. Kurama groaned long and low as Hiei's member left his body and slid back in. The hiyoukai set a steady rhythm all the while finding it impossible to leave the kitsune's mouth alone.

Soon the air of their small apartment was filled with the sounds of lovemaking. Sometime between thrusts and kisses Hiei managed to remove the band from his Jagan eye wanting to feel everything his fox felt, just as he had done for their mating. Deep within his lover's muscled abdomen he could feel the life energies of their kits pulsing as they fed from Kurama's energy. He knew the babes would need Kurama's strength to grow and develope. It happened to every female demon with child. But Kurama was male and Hiei worried what damaging effects this theft of energy and growth would have on the redhead.

Hiei finally decided all would be well. He just needed to talk to someone. Little in the three worlds scared the forbidden one, and this was at the top of the list. Just as long as Kurama had the help and company he needed Hiei would be able to relax a little.

"Aah!" Kurama's cry as he released between their sweaty stomachs brought him completely out of his worries. He watched through his own pleasure haze as the lithe form beneath him shuddered; the relief crease in the graceful demon's brow, the hushed breathing through the parted lips. It was all too beautiful, too perfect and Hiei's eyes widened at his own release. Exhausted for the moment he only had time to lower Kurama's legs before he laid against his mate, arms sliding up behind his back to grip the top of the kitsune's shoulders.

A soft hum murmured through Kurama's chest and Hiei smiled, his ear pressed over the vibration. Simply listening to each other, feeling each other before they welcomed in the morning and the outside world.

Kurama shifted slightly against his lover's arms behind his back.

"Sorry, love," Hiei said sliding his arms away and shifting to lay beside him.

"No worry." Hiei traced a slender finger over the lines of Kurama's abdomen causing him to shiver.

"You want to go see your mother today?" he asked finally.

"Yes, I wish for our kits to know their grandmother." Hiei nodded.

"Hn. Well, we should get cleaned up, ne?" he smirked looking at their little mess. Kurama blushed.

"A shower and breakfast sounds great right now." The kitsune stretched languidly and then together they sleepily shuffled to the bathroom.
