Chapter Twenty Two
When they arrived at the shrine, Yukina, Botan, Shizuru, and Koenma were waiting for them.
"Angela!" Yukina and Botan yelled together as they ran towards Angela. They hugged her tightly.
"Oh! I thought we'd never see you again," Yukina exclaimed, almost crying.
Botan, however, bawled. "Angela! I've missed you so much!" Angela smiled.
Shizuru came over and rubbed the top of Angela's head. "Missed ya, kido."
Angela stepped back. "Oh, Yukina! You've gotten so big!"
"Well..It's expected when you're five months pregnant," Yukina said smiling.
Angela smiled back. "Well, that just means we'll have to specialy make your dress for the wedding."
"Wedding!" The three women asked.
Hiei walked up to them and held Angela's hand. "Yes, Hiei's aksed me to marry him," Angela said, looking into Hiei's eyes, smiling.
The three women started hugging her and Hiei again. "That's wonderful!" Yukina said, smiling.
"It's about time! I was about to hit him with my oar if he didn't ask you soon," Botan joked.
"I had something similar in mind too," Shizuru said.
Koenma came and clapped Hiei on the shoulder. "You're a lucky man."
Yukina turned and hugged Hiei. "I knew you loved her and that you would tell her eventually."
Hiei looked a little uncomfortable being hugged by Yukina. Angela, sensing his feelings, quickly distracted the women. "Girls, I want you to meet Star," she said, taking them to Star, who stood nervously beside Yusuke. "I met her when I was captured and escaped. She's like a sister to me and I want her to be like a sister to ya'll."
Yukina smiled at the red head. "If you're Angela's sister, then you're ours." She hugged Star who hugged her back, awkwardly. The other two hugged her as well, welcoming her into the family.
When they finished hugging her, Yukina went to Kuwabara. "I'm so relieved that you're alright Kazuma," she whispered as Kuwabara gently hugged her.
Botan walked up to Kurama. "Uh...I'm...Oh, hell!" She jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly. "I was so worried!"
Kurama laughed and hugged her back. He gently pushed her away. He looked at Hiei. -Will you mind a double wedding?- he asked.
-I'd be happy to have a double wedding,- Hiei replied, smiling.
Kurama looked at Botan and said "I'll be right back." He ran into the shrine.
After a few minutes he came back and walked to Botan. He knelt down on one knee and held out an open ring box, showing a small silver diamond ring. He held Botan's left hand. "Botan," he said. Botan blushed. "Would you do me the honor of being my wife?"
Botan knelt down with him and hugged him tightly. "Yes, yes! I will!" Kurama stood up, still holding Botan and swung her around, laughing. Everyone clapped.
Angela looked to Hiei. "I no longer have to look at the stars to see hope. I only have to look around me. At you, at my family now. I see hope in everything. And it's all thanks to you." Hiei smiled and pulled her close, kissing her and holding her.
"Wowee! Ol' Jin here's trying hard to keep from cryin'," Jin said, wipping his eyes. Touya nodded.
"I wish Chu was as strong as you," Rinku said as he covered his head from Chu's tears.
"I can't help it," Chu blubbered. "It's such a happy time."
"Yeah, and you're drunk and too emotional!" Rinku griped.
Suzuka was crying too. "Ah, such a beautiful thing, love." He reached up and grabbed Shishi and used him like a handkerchief.
"Hey! Stop it!" Shishi yelled.
Star looked on the happy couples, particularly Angela and Hiei. "I'm happy for her. But I can't help but feel envious of her love. I wonder if I'll find love."
Yusuke looked at her. "Everyone will have their chance at love. You never know when you'll find it, but you'll find it. Sometimes you don't know you've got it until it slaps you in the face." He laughed, remembering all the times Keiko had slapped him.
Star looked up at him and smiled. -I think I'll get along great with this guy,- she thought. Yusuke smiled back at her.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Oh! You two look so beautiful!" Yukina exclaimed as she looked at the two brides.
Angela was dressed in a white shoulder-less dress, with a white corset with small pearl decorations. The skirt fell all the way to her feet, flaring out only a little, while the train, starting from a small bow at the back of the corset, fell a foot behind her. Her low heeled white shoes had tiny pearl decorations. Her hair had braids in it that wrapped around her forehead with small beads wrapped through her braids. The hair that wasn't in braids fell down her back in soft waves. Her veil started from two pearl barrets that were placed above her braids at the sides of her head, making it look as if the veil fell from her braids. Her make up was done in soft shades of pink, with a touch of pale green around her eyes.
Botan wore a long sleeved classical wedding gown. The sleeves started from just below her shoulders and ended over the back of her hands with silver colored lining on the cuffs with a small pearl near where the cuff reached the middle finger. The neckline of the dress was a princess cut with a thick silver lining with a small pearl at the middle of the neckline where it dipped towards her breasts. The dress was body fitting until it reached her hips where a belt of pearls lined her waist. The skirt flowed out around her, ending slightly past her feet, where a thick strip of silver lined the hem. Her train started at a big bow at her lower back, and ended a few feet behind her. Her high heeled shoes were silver with a pearl on the top. Most of her hair was rolled up into a bun at the back of her head. The rest tumbled around her shoulders in curls. Her veil started from a tiara of pearls. Her make up was also done in pink but instead of green she had white around her eyes.
"Yeah. I'd say we did a great job. What do you two think about us?" Shizuru asked. She, Yukina, and Star were in light pink spagetti strap dresses that fell to their ankles, body fitting for Shizuru and Star and a special dress for the eighth month pregnant Yukina. Their shoes were low heeled light pink. Their make up was done in soft shades of pink and they each wore a pearl necklace. Yukina's hair was again in the three french braids with the pearl barrets, while Shizuru had curled her hair, and Star pulled her hair back into one braid.
"You look wonderful." Angela said, smiling. "Well, we couldn't over do it. It would be horrible for the brides maids to out shine the brides," Shizuru joked.
Botan started crying. "Thank you three," she said as she carefully hugged them.
Angela did the same. "It makes us happy that you're here."
"We wouldn't miss it for anything," Star said.
Angela smiled when she hugged Yukina. "Well...You, and we, might have needed to miss it if Yukina went into labor. I've been wondering if we shouldn't have held it off until you gave birth."
Yukina smiled. "No, you two have waited too long for this day as it is."
Botan heard a cough and looked to the door. Her eyes widened. "Angela, look," she whispered.
Angela looked, and gasped. It was her parents. "We've been given the permission to be here to give our baby away," her dad said.
Botan hugged Angela, explaining "A wedding gift from Koenma. We'll leave you three alone now." She and the other women left.
Angela stood there, silent tears rolling down her face. "I thought I'd never see you again after that time in the garden."
Her parents came to her and hugged her. "Oh my baby," her mother cried. "You've grown into a beautiful woman. I'm so proud of you." Her mother let go of her so that her father could hold her.
"I know how much you've been through. I wish we had been there for you," he said.
Angela cried. "You were there for me, remember. You've always been there for me."
Her father smiled. "I've always wondered if I was a good father. If I raised you right."
"You were the best father. You did raise me right." They held each other and cried for a bit.
Finally her father held her away from him. "Now we're giving you away, into someone else's care. I know he'll be good to you."
"I know Daddy," Angela said, smiling.
"But just because you're getting married doesn't mean that you won't still be our baby girl," her mother said, hugging Angela by the shoulders.
"Well..." Her father said. "I think it's just about time."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yusuke and Kuwabara took their places beside Hiei and Kurama. They were standing in the shrine. A white wooden arch with lace drapped around it stood in front of the large statue. A podium, where Koenma was standing at, stood in front of the arch. A soft pink carpet rolled from the podium to the entrance of the shrine, where another white archway stood. Several rows of white wooden chairs filled the shrine, seating for the numerous demons and humans.
Yusuke looked at the two grooms and snickered. "I never thought I'd live to see Hiei wear white!"
Hiei just ignored him. He and Kurama were dressed in white tuxes while Yusuke and Kuwabara were dressed in light blue tuxes.
"That's because we never imagined him to get married," Koenma joked. He was dressed in a black tux.
Kurama laughed, joining in "Yes, well after he met Angela, it was inevitable that he'd get married."
Hiei smiled at the mention of Angela. "Yes, well I never imagined you to marry Botan," Hiei said.
Kurama laughed, "Neither did I, but no one can predict who they will fall in love with and marry."
Yusuke smiled. "You're friends can. Me, Shizuru and Koenma were playing match maker." "
I kind of figured that," Kurama said.
Yusuke shrugged. "Now all we have to do is marry off Koenma!"
Koenma glared. "I can marry myself thank you very much."
Yusuke quirked an eyebrow. "I wonder how the honeymoon would go if you married yourself."
Koenma turned red. "Uh...I didn't mean it that way!"
At that moment, Jin flew in. "The lasses are ready." Everyone straightened up and took their places.
The wedding song started softly and Yukina, Shizuru and Star, each carring a small bouquet, walked up the aisle where they took their places on the left side. The wedding song grew louder. Everyone turned their heads towards the entrance. In walked Botan and Angela, both carrying bouquets of white and pink roses, with Angela's father in between them. Hiei's and Kurama's hearts lifted as they saw their brides. As the two brides reached the grooms, Angela's father gave Botan to Kurama and Angela to Hiei. He then stepped back and took a seat beside his wife. The men lifted the veils of their brides.
"So beautiful," Kurama said.
Hiei nodded, "Yes, beautiful..."
Koenma coughed, getting the attention of the brides and grooms. "We're here today to join Hiei and Angela and Kurama and Botan..." Koenma started the marriage ritual.
"...Please take out the rings," Koenma said. Hiei and Kurama took their rings from the pillow that Rinku was holding. "Place the ring on your brides' ring fingers." Hiei placed a silver ring with a diamond surrounded by tiny wings on Angela's ring finger. She gasped at the beauty of it. Kurama placed a silver ring with a diamond enveloped by roses on Botan's ring finger.
Botan smiled at the symbolism. -So many things happened because of his roses. One of them being us getting together. And he uses his roses to fight for and protect the ones he loves.-
"Now Hiei, repeat after me. I, Hiei..." Koenma said.
Hiei looked into Angela's eyes. "I, Hiei..."
"Take you, Angela," Koenma said.
"Take you, Angela," Hiei repeated.
"To be my wife."
"To be my wife," Hiei smiled, liking the way 'wife' sounded.
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold." -I'll always hold you,- Hiei silently promised.
"To cherish and love."
"To cherish and love." -You're my true and only love,- Hiei said to Angela.
"Forever more."
"Forever more." -For ever more and eternity.- Angela smiled at the love she could feel in his voice and mind touch.
Koenma turned to Kurama. "Repeat after me Kurama. I, Kurama..."
"I, Kurama..." Kurama repeated, looking into Botan's eyes.
"Take you, Botan."
"Take you, Botan."
"To be my wife."
"To be my wife." Kurama smiled at the term 'wife'. He had never thought he would get to say that word.
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold." He squeezed Botan's hands.
"To cherish and love."
"To cherish and love." -Truely and deeply,- he said to her, using his slight telepathic ability.
"Forever more."
"Forever more." Botan, without any psychic ability, could feel and sense the adamant promise in Kurama's voice and heart when he said those words.
Koenma turned to the girls. "Please take out your rings and place them on the grooms ring fingers." Angel picked up a silver ring with flame engravings. Botan pick up a silver ring that had small rose engravings. "Now, Angela, repeat after me. I, Angela..." Koenma said.
"I, Angela..." Angela said, staring into Hiei's eyes.
"Take you, Hiei," Koenma said.
"Take you, Hiei," she repeated, treasuring his name.
"To be my husband."
"To be my husband," she loved the word 'husband' and automatically associated it with 'Hiei'.
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold." -And I'll always hold you,- she responded to Hiei's promise on the same line.
"To cherish and love."
"To cherish and love." -You're also my one and only true love, my dear,- she said warmly.
"Forever more."
"Forever more." -Beyond eternity,- she promised him, sending all her love through her empathic ability.
Koenma turned to Botan, who was staring into Kurama's eyes. "Now, Botan, repeat after me. I, Botan..."
"I, Botan..." she repeated, gazing into Kurama's green eyes.
"Take you, Kurama."
"Take you, Kurama," she smiled at his name.
"To be my husband."
"To be my husband." -I never thought I would say that,- she thought in a happy daze.
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold," she said, squeezing his hands, unable to send him telepathic messages of her love to him she did the best she could.
"To cherish and love."
"To cherish and love," she smiled warmly at him, loving the word 'love'. She knew he would be the only one that she would love.
"Forever more."
"Forever more," she repeated, gazing deeply into his eyes, wanting to jump into his arms and kiss him just as deeply with all the love bursting in her heart. Kurama knew what she was thinking and nodded, showing that he felt the same.
Koenma looked at the couples. "By the power in vested in me, I pronounce you husbands and wives. You may now kiss the brides." Kurama took Botan and kissed her deeply, bending her over, while Hiei kissed Angela gently at first then deeply. Cheers errupted from everyone.
"Now it's time for the party!" Yusuke yelled.
The DT gang and several helpers started to fold and move the chairs out of the way and pulled out a sound system and the tables laded with food that had been hiding next to a wall. On it were two multi tiered wedding cakes. They both had white icing but they had different colored decorations. One had silver and green, the other had pink and blue.
"Time to cut the cake you four," Kuwabara said, handing Hiei and Angela one knife and Kurama and Botan another.
Kurama and Botan stood in front of the blue and pink cake and Angela and Hiei stood in front of the green and silver. "You two first," Botan said.
Angela nodded. "Well, here's to the second thing we do as husband and wife," she said to Hiei, as they took a hold of the knife. They turned to the cake and sliced it. Cheers went up. Botan and Kurama took their turn. More cheers errupted.
"Now time for the messy part," Shizuru said.
Angela laughed as she and Hiei cut a peice of cake for each other. Hiei looked to Kurama. "We won't do it unless you two do it with us."
Yusuke laughed. "Yuck! We didn't want to know that!" he joked. Star laughed beside him. Kurama shook his head and rolled his eyes.
He and Botan cut out a piece of cake for each other. "Alright..." Kurama said, holding his peice of cake. "Go!" He started to feed Botan the peice of cake he was holding, then he smooshed it over her mouth. Botan laughed and took her revenge and smashed the cake she was holding into Kurama's face.
Angela and Hiei had looked at each other before Kurama had 'fed' Botan, then Hiei and Angela smashed their cakes into each others faces at the same time. Everyone cheered again and laughed.
"Now it's time we went and changed," Hiei said, wiping the cake off of his suit.
Angela nodded as she took Botan's hand. "Let's get out of these dresses and into something comfier." Botan nodded. Yukina, Shizuru and Star came to help the wives change.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hiei and Kurama were about to leave their changing room when Angela's father came in. "I just wanted to share a few words," he said, Hiei and Kurama paused. "I know you both are good men. I don't think these girls could be in safer hands. But I also know that you two live dangerous lives. I want you to promise me to love them as if there were no tomorrow." Hiei and Kurama nodded.
"After nearly losing Angela, I don't think I could do anything other than love her as if there were no tomorrow," Hiei said. Kurama nodded, agreeing with him.
"Then take care of them, take care of my baby girl," Angela's father said the last part to Hiei, tears in his eyes. "I don't think she could have picked a better man," he said as he walked back to the training room.
Hiei and Kurama came back in, Hiei wearing a white version of what he usually wore, Kurama wearing a white long sleeved shirt that was buttoned down showing his chest and tan slacks. After a few minutes the girls returned, Angela wearing a white spagetti strap body fiting dress that reached mid thigh, Botan wearing a white long sleeved dress that flared out at the hip and reached her knees. Both wore white low heeled shoes.
"Now we can dance!" Jin said, excitedly, wanting to try the moves that he had seen the girls teach the guys.
A slow song came on and everyone cleared the floor, making a dance floor. The new husbands pulled their wives onto the dance floor and started to dance slowly. Every now and then they would kiss. After awhile other couples joined the dance. Shizuru with Drake, who had taken the news about demons and the Spirit world existing quite well, Yukina and Kuwabara, Yusuke and Star, and several others.
Yomi sensed where Mukuro was and went to stand with her at the back. "What is going through your head when you see Hiei there with Angela?" he asked.
Mukuro sighed. "I think of how happy they are. And how proud I am of Hiei for finally telling her he loves her."
Yomi shook his head, "That's not all. What are you feeling?"
Mukuro sighed again. "Lonely I guess."
Yomi smiled. "Well, we can be lonely together then." Mukuro looked at him and smiled too.
Angela and Hiei danced to several songs, looking into each others eyes. At one point they bumped into Yukina and Kuwabara, who hugged them and congratulated them. Angela saw the look that passed over Hiei's face as he watched Yukina dance with Kuwabara. Angela leaned to him and whispered in his ear. "Tell her. She want's her brother to be here for the birth of the twins." Hiei looked at her, unsure. She pleaded again, "Please. Remember how you waited until I nearly died before you told me you loved me. Don't take that risk with Yukina."
Hiei thought about it, then he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to find Yusuke smiling. "Can I have a dance with one of the lovely brides?" Hiei nodded and passed Angela to Yusuke.
Angela smiled. "That was a good crack," she said, commenting on the remark he had made before the two couples had smashed cake into each others mouths.
"You should have heard the one I made when Koenma said he could marry himself," Yusuke said laughing.
"I think I can guess at what you said," Angela said, eyes sparkling. She caught sight of Star dancing with Jin. "I see that you and Star have been getting along nicely," she said, smiling.
Yusuke smiled back. "Yeah...Remember what you told me about the stars." Angela nodded. "Well I thought about it and found that I don't have to look at the stars above, but at the Star in front of me to see hope and peace." Angela smiled. Yusuke went on. "I thought I would never find love again when I realized that we weren't meant for each other. But now I think I have found it again. But I can't help feeling that I've betrayed Keiko."
Angela hugged him. "Keiko will be happy that you've moved on and started a new life. I'm sure this is what she meant when she said make something of yourself and not to mourn her forever."
Yusuke nodded. He hugged her back. "Thanks Angela."
Angela caught sight of her parents at the side door. "Excuse me," she said as she left Yusuke.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hiei found Kuwabara and Yukina dancing. He tapped Kuwabara's shoulder as Yusuke had done to him. Kuwabara turned. "Can I talk to Yukina?" Hiei asked. Kuwabara nodded.
Yukina turned to Hiei. "What is it?" she asked gently seeing an odd look pass over Hiei's face.
"Lets go outside and talk." He led her to the porch in the front. They sat there for a moment. Finally Hiei sighed. "I have something I need to tell you..." Yukina nodded, encouraging him to go on. "I found your brother, but he wants to know if you'll accept him before he comes out and admits it." Yukina nodded again. Hiei took in a breath. "He led a bloody life once. He killed ruthlessly, and even enjoyed it at one point. Then something happened that made him think twice about his life. He started to wonder about his homeland, his mother, his sister. After he lost the hiruseki stone that his mother cried for him, he began to think seriously about finding his stone and his homeland. After many hardships he found the Land of Ice, but he found that his mother had died and that his sister had disappeared into the Human world. He went to Human world to find her, along the way he made the mistake of upseting the Spirit world. He was caught and punished. He was then released. After spending time with the people of Spirit world and it's human allies he slowly began to change. He was no longer a ruthless killer. I met him at the demon tournament for king. He's been in the border patrol since. He still leads a dangerous life. He had no intention of letting you know who he was because he didn't want you to know about the bloody life he's led." Hiei finished, not looking at Yukina.
Yukina smiled. "I don't care what type of life he led. I only care about him being my brother." Yukina turned Hiei's head towards her, asking gently "Brother?" Hiei nodded. "I had hoped that you might have been my brother," she said as she hugged him. "I'm glad that you've finally told me." She let him go. "Let's go back inside. I'm sure our spouses are wondering where we are." Hiei nodded, feeling like a weight had lifted off his chest.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Angela found her parents standing beside the pond. "Mom, Dad?" she asked. "You're going away again, aren't you?"
Her dad nodded. He held out his arms. "For good this time." Angela ran to him and her mother.
She hugged them tightly, crying "I won't miss you because I know you'll be there."
"Always, my baby girl," her father said as he and her mother disappeared.
Angela stood there for a few minutes, crying. Finally she wiped the tears off and went back to the party. Inside she found Hiei waiting for her. He hugged her gently. "I'm here for you. I'll do anything for you, just to see you smile," he said.
Angela smiled. "And I you."
Hiei smiled and gently kissed her. "I think it's time we left for our honeymoon."
"Where are we going?" she asked curiously. She realized during the two month preparation of the wedding she had totally forgotten to plan the honeymoon.
"There's a cottage beside a lake in Demon World, the area's safe and peacefull. There the air is clear and you can see the stars perfectly. And the sunrises and sunsets are magnificent. Many times I have gone there to relax and get away from the border patrol."
"Ah...Sounds wonderfull. I can't wait," she whispered as she leaned in for another kiss.
Hiei smiled. "Then let's leave." She nodded.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They arrived at the cottage just as the sunset. "Oh! You were right. The sunset is amazing," Angela cried happily. Hiei smiled at her. They watched the sunset then stayed out awhile to star gaze.
Angela looked at him. "Let's go inside," she said, smiling.
Hiei carried her in bridal style, then gently laid her on the bed. She pulled him down, kissing him. "This is one dance I don't know, can you teach me?" Angela said sultry.
Hiei smiled. "Yes," he said as he kissed her.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Ahhh!" Yukina yelled. Kuwabara held her hand, wincing as she nearly crushed his hand.
"Push Yukina! Push!" one of the doctors urged.
"Nnngg!" Yukina pushed hard.
A wailing started. "It's a girl!" one of the nurses said as she took the baby from the doctor.
The doctor turned to Yukina. "Okay, one more to go."
A group of people stood in the hall around the room Yukina was in.
"That's it, I need a cigarette," Shizuru said as she heard another scream.
Yusuke stopped his pacing and nodded. "I'll join you."
Angela took up Yusuke's pacing. Botan and Star sat beside each other gripping hands. Kurama looked out the window, and Hiei leaned against the wall, keeping his eyes on Angela, wincing when ever Yukina screamed.
Suddenly Angela became dizzy. Hiei was at her side in an instant, saying "You should be sitting down."
Angela smiled at him. "It's just morning sickness. It's normal. You don't have to baby me."
"Hn. Let's just say I'm practicing," Hiei said as he sat her beside Botan and Star.
Another scream form the room made everyone jump. "It's a boy!" they heard the doctor say. "You did a good job Yukina." Everyone sighed.
After several minutes Kuwabara came out, smiling. "A boy and a girl!" he said proudly as Yusuke and Shizuru came back.
"That's great," Yusuke said, clapping Kuwabara on the shoulder. "What're their names?"
"We're calling the girl Sakura and the boy Ken," Kuwabara said, still beaming proudly.
"Good names. So I guess the girl has red hair?" Angela asked smiling.
Kuwabara nodded. He came over and clapped Hiei on the shoulder. "Just think, in a few months you and Angela will be picking names. Or at least making a list."
Hiei smiled. Angela walked to him and put her arm around his waist. He smiled more and put his arm around her waist. "I think about it all the time. That is if I'm not thinking about you," he said to Angela.
The doctor came out. "A few of you can see her, but she especialy wants Hiei to be one of the first." Hiei nodded and brought Angela with him into the room.
Yukina smiled as she held Ken and Sakura. "What do you think of your neice and nephew?" she asked tiredly.
Hiei smiled. "They're beautiful."
Angela nodded and leaned over Yukina to kiss her forehead. "Just like their mother," she said.
Yukina smiled more. "Thank you Angela, for being there and for becoming a sister, not just through marriage," Yukina said.
Angela understood what she meant. "Thank you for being a sister too."
"Hiei, thank you for finally telling me. I already thought of you as a brother, and I am thrilled to find that you are my real brother. My children couldn't have a better uncle. Thank you for being there for me," Yukina said to Hiei, smiling gently.
Hiei nodded. "I think we should let the others have their turns to take a look at the babies and congratulate you," Hiei said, smiling as he and Angela left.
As they walked back into the hall, Angela turned to Hiei. "You know, as a child I'd dream of being on a great adventure like some kind of heroine and I'd meet my knight in shining armor that would save me time and again, and at the end of my adventures I'd marry him and have a happy ending." She smiled, "I dreamed of a tall and blonde handsome man, I never dreamed he'd be shorter than me with dark hair." Hiei smiled. Angela continued. "It turned out that my knight is a dark and mysterious man." She leaned close to him, "And I prefer him over the knight in shining armor." She kissed him. "I have my happy ending."
Hiei shook his head and touched her stomach. "Not an ending, but a begining."
