Two-Sided Attraction

Author's Note: I'm sorry this took so long. I haven't really changed it from the way I initially wrote it, but I was unsatisfied, so I tried redoing it...to no avail. At first I thought I didn't like the story bit, but that was fine. It wasn't long enough; didn't have enough bulk; not enough happened. But I don't know how to change that, so this will just have to do. Once again, written a while ago; not as long ago as the first two, but still. Please, don't hate it. Please, do review it. Hope I didn't disappoint you. And now for the "exciting" final chapter of Two-Sided Attraction! (...Applaud, damn you!)

The End

Kurama ruffled the hair of his fifteen year old bisexual son's hair as he was about to rush out the door to go to school. Sighing impatiently like the angsty teenager that he is but not really meaning it, Shuuichi – named after his father – gave him a reluctant hug and darted out the door of the apartment in which their odd little family resides deep within one of the now civilized parts of Makai. He smiled and closed the door, marveling over how much that boy looks like his father, yet... he doesn't.

His father isn't Kurama, if you hadn't already figured that out. His father was actually Kazuma Kuwabara, an old friend and co-worker of Kurama's from a lifetime ago. His mother had been Yukina, Hiei's little sister. What had happened is this: Kuwabara had gotten Yukina pregnant without permission or any sort of helpful warning, such as how you have to be careful because koorime's have children in a different way.

Generally they produce asexually, which means that the act of sex is not needed. When they do have children, however, their body reacts to it differently, because although it is made to also be able to do that, it is not used to it so – for lack of a better term – it gets excited. It takes the best seed out of the bunch from all of them from one night, and it helps it along, so that pregnancy is a sure thing. But, its only getting started. If more sex is had, let's say, the next night (and any night after that – the waiting period is, at most, five days), it takes the best of the bunch from there as well, and gets pregnant again, using a different egg. Eggs come down differently in koorimes: they are a demand item. If there is seed, there is egg; if there is no seed, there is no egg, for that would be a waste (they are only born with twenty eggs, after all, and that's it).

Basically, she got pregnant every night for four nights. That tired her out physically, and she fainted. Brought to Rei-kai, Spirit World, Yukina received medical treatment... and it was discovered that she was pregnant... with quadruplets. Everyone got pissed off at Kuwabara like I don't know what – he's lucky to have survived. It nearly killed her, giving birth after being constantly tried out developing and retaining and sustaining her. Her chances for living were slim. Since chances looked good that she wouldn't live, Hiei told her the truth.

That was what did it. He told her right before the labor started, and she found some energy within her amazingly strong little body. She got through the birth, and all the children were healthy. She, however, was exhausted, and although her chances were better than before, everybody began to mourn the near-inevitable.

Hiei saved her life. She took a year to recover, but recover she did. Since there were four children and she couldn't raise them, and nobody was going to trust Kuwabara (even if he hadn't almost killed her), two were given to Kurama and Hiei, and two were given to Yusuke and Keiko. Originally it was going to just be for a year, but once Yukina was better little Shuuichi and baby Hina didn't want to leave their daddies. Yukina didn't mind. So they became there's, and she didn't have to overexert herself with extra babies. She still loves them, though, and visits them often, more like an aunt than a mother, just like Hiei is more like a father than an uncle.

And Kurama is the mom.

They, as a gay couple, actually got to have kids, which was great because they loved them so much. And as I was saying, there are just times like right now when Kurama can't help but marvel over how much Shuuichi looks like Kuwabara, yet he doesn't at all. It's weird. Their physiques are similar, although Shuuichi's is slimmer, like his "mother" Kurama's. Their hair is the same, although the orange doesn't grow in that weird shape, instead remaining completely straight (resembling Kyo from Furuba!). His eyes are actually dark red, making him look like a more muscular version of Kyo the Kitty, I am not even kidding. Oh, and don't forget the punkish personality and portrayal, which is more to rebel against his real father's very jock-like mentality and spiritual existence.

Hina emerged from her room, running into who she considers her real father. Extremely intelligent, wise and sarcastic, Hina is a scornful heartbreaker with major attitude problems – a meaner version of Kurama or a smarter version of Hiei. She hates her real father, thanks the gods that she doesn't resemble him, and denies any family ties with him – even to they who know the truth. She's been like that since the age of four...so cute! So mouthy! So perfect to be their child!

Her hair and eyes are like her mothers, except darker and lighter. Her hair is closer to a sapphiric and icy midnight blue, while her eyes are so light that – like the clouds – they hardly exist, blending in with the whites of her eyes, they were that close in color. Her skin is like porcelain, although it is still incapable of being burned, and her physique is strong and sturdy – strongly resembling her aunt Shizuru's – with ample curves that make Hiei very over-protective of her around guys...Which makes no sense, since it is the boy's that would need protection.

"Yo, Mom," she greeted, using the title for Kurama she adopted at the very beginning, hugging her dad good-morning before heading into the kitchen to grab something to eat. Unlike Shuuichi, Hina likes to take her time in the morning; her friends wait on her, and sometimes she takes advantage of that fact. But, since most of her friends are male, Hiei especially doesn't mind, while Kurama prefers to remain impartial.

Kurama smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "Good morning, Hina. Sleep well?"

She didn't answer, instead grabbing some milk and a pastry to eat real quick before heading off to school. While she did that and Kurama sat down on the couch to read a long, picture-less, boring book he's been working on for about a week now. Shortly after the silence began it ended, Hiei heading over to Hina, who was only just taller than him – not that it mattered too overly much, her being a chick and all.

"Hey – MOM!" she said, realizing something. School was scheduled to start soon, and with her breakfast finished, she would just make it. Kurama stood up and went over to his daughter. She ushered him away from Hiei.

"I gotta ask you a favor. You see, tonight...Do you remember Keiji? Well, I'm planning on having him over tonight, and I was wondering if you could, you know, occupy dad away from the house. Not for too overly long, of course; I should be done by ten. Not very long at all."

Kurama smiled and hugged his daughter. "You have until eleven-thirty."

Hina smiled, beaming, and hugged her mom back before rushing out the door.

That evening, Kurama was just shooing Hiei out of the apartment as the front door bell rang. Hiei leapt up onto a cabinet, and Kurama gave up for the moment, heading over to the front door. On the other side stood Shuuichi and a guy Kurama didn't recognize. "Yujinn – I want you to meet my mom. Mom, this is Yujinn."

Kurama regained his composure well and shook the young boy's hand. "It's nice to meet you, Yujinn." After living with his son for so long, Kurama was a master at taking things instantly and working with very little to make everything come out and run smoothly. Hiei still could not do this, which is why he stays on all figurative – and sometimes literal – cabinets, out of sight.

Shuuichi kissed Yujinn good-night right in front of his mom, and the boy left without saying anything, an obvious blush on his cheeks. A cute kid, Yujinn had the blue eyes, blonde hair, pale skin and angelically innocent look of an angel – and this being Makai, Kurama did not immediately doubt that the boy was not.

Shuuichi came in and closed the door behind him, waving to his dad. Seeing the skeptical look on his mom's face, he quickly explained, "Yujinn isn't an angel – he's half devil. Mom – devil; Dad – angel. I didn't defile him or nothing; he's only innocent as long as he wishes to be."

Thank god the boy didn't go on. "What about Jin?" Hiei wanted to know, hopping down off of the cabinet to stand beside his lover's side, facing his son.

Shuuichi shrugged. At his parents mutual glare – double whammy! – he sighed and gave in, facing them but refusing to make eye-contact. "Me and Jin are dating, yes, but not that seriously. We are permitted to see other people, as long as we don't actually date them. She's bi too, so we each get to have same sex lovers and all is still good."

Kurama sighed, smiling. "Sex with others, dates with her?"

Shuuichi nodded. "Basically."

Hiei grunted. "Our son – the man-whore. So like his father."

Shuuichi stuck his tongue out at his parents. "I may be horny like Kuwabara, but I am far more successful than he ever was – and I'm only a teenager."

As the boy stalked his way off to his room, Kurama and Hiei couldn't help but laugh.

Shuuichi was so close to getting Hiei out of the house in time for Hina and Keiji, but the doorbell rang right before they made it out. Sighing, Kurama called for her to come in, and she did so – reluctantly. The doorbell was a precaution to check and see if anyone was home; and they were. Shuuichi was going to go with his parents – to a certain extent, of course.

Kurama had only met Keiji once before. A sweet, gentle, soft-spoken boy, Keiji is very intelligent and polite, as well as happy. Once he gets comfortable he shows how lively he really is, and he never treats others without respect. Personally, Kurama would be overjoyed if Hina ended up with this boy. He is technically human, but magic flows through his veins, and he is saturated in demonic and spiritual energies. His hair is a deep, dark violet, his eyes lavender. His voice is high, but not squeaky, and very soothing; peaceful, kind, gentle. Just like him.

Hiei hated him on principle.

Hina glared at them as if to say, What the hell are you doing here? Keiji did not notice her slight distress, or her father's blaring hatred. Instead, he offered his hand to Kurama. "Hello, Kurama-san. We've met before, but I don't know if you remember me. I'm Keiji Fuuniko."

Kurama smiled and shook the boys hand, holding Hiei back in a very subtle manner. "It is very nice to meet you, Keiji. We've heard plenty about you from our daughter. We were just leaving."

Hina glared at her parents as they left, lips pursed and foot tapping. Keiji waved them off, forever the kind and smiley boy. Shuuichi resisted the urge to say something, not daring to risk his Mom and his sister. Finally they were gone, the two not-so-serious (on Hina's part) lovebirds left all alone.

Hina got Keiji out by ten-thirty.

While out, Shuuichi met up with Jin, split off from his parents, found a secluded spot and just talked with her for hours, gazing at the stars, holding one another, kissing and teasing. It was sweet, in there own little, weird way.

Shuuichi eventually calmed Hiei down, and he reluctantly had a good time.

All of them being demons, life was a long affair, with its share of wars and such. However, in their own little bubble, life was happy; life was good. Kurama and Hiei were mates for life. Their children eventually grew up and moved out – taking their good old time. Human friends died, children grew older, their lines went on and contact remained, however sad it was.

Hina and Keiji finally ended up together. She would have never expected it – not because she didn't like him, but because she didn't love him. Thoughts of him were more...hn. Okay, yeah, whatever. But they grew really close, like good friends, and true attraction (for her) followed. She fell in love, he had already been there. They got married, and she was forever the dominate one in the relationship. How else would it be?

Shuuichi and Jin's relationship was a bit of an oddity that no one was expecting. For the longest time infidelity was a part of their relationship, until one day Jin admitted that she loved Shuuichi. He didn't know how to react. Apparently, she hadn't been seeing anyone else in a long while – not since the time of Yujinn – while Shuuichi had had himself many more lovers. They didn't see each other for a long time, Jin being too nervous, until one day Shuuichi found her and asked her to marry him. Since then they have been completely devoted to one another, and no other lovers have ever been had. Their dominance is shared.

And so life goes on. It may be imperfect, odd and downright nonsensical, but it is good nonetheless (if not poorly written). A happy ending is said to just be a story that hasn't ended yet – so I think I'll leave this story forever incomplete.

FIN (pour moi et toi)
