Be True To Your Heart
Chapter 4: A Kitsune's Love
(A/N: I hope you don't think the title of the chapter sounds too corny; it was the best I could come up with. Anyways, here's the last chapter. And there will be a sequel. It's already typed up.)
Hiei leaned his head on the fox's shoulder, sighing in content. Kurama lovingly stroked his jet black hair streaked with white.
"I love you. You know that, right?"
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."
Kurama frowned at this; his hand halted its motion. He moved to the far end of the bed, turning on his side and getting under the covers.
"What? What'd I do?"
"If you're not going to take our relationship seriously, I don't think we can be together."
Hiei's eyes widened in surprise.
"Why not?"
He sighed in frustration.
"Hiei…do you love me?"
"What are you talking about? Of course I love you!"
"Yeah, I know. But you never say it. I've always known, but… I just need some reassurance, ok?"
Hiei understood. He had treated his love lightly, and Kurama had been feeling a little insecure.
Scooching over, he pressed his naked frame to Kurama's.
"I love you, Kurama. I'm sorry if I never said it," he whispered, reaching for his lover.
The fox shrugged away from his touch.
"You don't trust my words?"
A round, perfect pearl like tear rolled down Kurama's cheek.
"I guess I'll have to show you."
And Hiei proceeded in showering his lover in gentle kisses, tongue delving deeper into the hot cavern of the fox's mouth.
As passion grew, the new couple moved on to bigger, better things...
Later that night, when the moon was full…
Kurama panted, rolling away from an equally exhausted Hiei.
"So, do you believe me now?"
Kurama held up his index finger to his lips, doing a chibi "ponder moment", lips pouting like a fish's.
"Mmm… no."
Hiei growled playfully, lightly punching him in the shoulder. He was too tuckered out to do anything else.
He chuckled, kissing Hiei deeply, then pulling away.
No use getting lost in another whirlwind of passion.
"Of course I believe you."
"Just in case. I love you, Kurama. I honestly and truly love you… both of you."
Kurama's eyes widened in fear and hope.
"Is it…you're not mad?"
"Mad? Why would I be mad? That's my child you're going to carry for the next nine months."
"Are you sure?"
Hiei held the fox tightly in his arms, lightly stroking his flat, smooth abdomen that would soon grow large from the weight of their child.
"Nothing could make me happier… although us getting married could be an added bonus."
Kurama glanced mischievously at him.
"Is that a proposal?"
Hiei smirked. "Yes, I believe so."
"Well then, I accept."
They shared a sweet, solitary kiss, promising much more to come.
(A/N: Well, that turned out differently than expected. Never thought I'd see the day I wrote mpreg. Weird. Anyways, there will be a sequel called 'Baby Days'… if I get 10 reviews. That's reasonable, right? Whatever. R&R please! As always, constructive criticism.)
