Shezka: Sorry for not updating sooner! I've been reading a really good book and haven't wanted to put it down. Now to make more time I listen to audio books. There the newest thing, just like little MP3 players. Anyone ever read Inkheart?
Hiei slept peacefully in his bed. Lexi lingered over him, nibbling at the edge of a tuna sandwhich that was meant for him. He peeked an eye open and smiled weakly at her. Lexi smiled guiltly back at him, but continued on eating the sandwhich anyway. After he had cooled down Hiei had gotten somewhat sick. He was instantly assigned bed rest despite his protests. He could see his uncle later.
"Thank you, for saving me some lunch to." Hiei said to Lexi sarcastically. She giggled a bit then handed him the other half of the sandwhich. He sighed and accepted the sandwhich. Never the less his parents were explaining to Yukina everything that had happened. She must have nearly had a heart attack at all this sudden news.
"Are you really going to adopt me?" Lexi asked, popping the question so suddenly that he nearly choked on what he was eat. Hiei was silent for a moment. Then finally decided to answer.
"Yes, I never meant for you to find out so soon." Hiei answered. Lexi beamed at him, but he could easily tell she was worried about something.
"Lexi, do you want me to be your father?" Hiei asked her, guessing what might be troubling her. Lexi's smiled became less worrisome and that troubled look in her eyes disappeared almost instantly.
"Yeah! That would make you're uncle my uncle and Yukina would be my auntie. Then Hina and Huroda would be my grandparents." Lexi answered eagerly. This jerked Hiei's mind almost in a completely different direction. He hadn't thought about that. If he adopted Lexi, she would introduced into his whole family. Then there was Murkro, whom he wanted to marry, but only after Yukina had adjusted to her whole new world. Which would probably take an entire year at the most. Besides, that was how long he was planning to wait anyway before proposing to her anyway.
As this thought swirled around in his mind it opened up totally new things that he had ignored until now. Adopting Lexi would also make her two older sisters and brothers his children as well. Then if Yukina married Kuwabara, the baka would be his brother-in-law. As well as that strange sister of his would officially be related to him to. Perhaps he could stir Yukina away from him. Maybe with a bit of pushing she would fall for the kitsune instead.
"Daddy, is something wrong?" Lexi asked worridely shaking his shoulder. He stared at her in bewilderment for a moment then shook his head. He was going to have to get used to that new name from now on.
"Nothing is wrong, Lexi. I just thought of something that opened my eyes to reality a little bit more." Hiei answered with a warm smile. Only three people in the whole entire world could ever get such a smile from him. Yukina, his mother, and last but not least his only daughter, Lexi.
"You don't look so sick anymore Daddy. Let's go visit Uncle Hiede now." Lexi replied smiling back. Hiei sighed and swung his legs out of bed. He stood up and followed her out the door and down the hall. They walked for no more then a few minutes when they came to his uncle's door. Instead of instantly opening the door, Lexi hesitated. Her large ears went up straight, slapping Hiei in the face by accident.
He looked at her then pressed his ear against the door. He could hear yelling inside. It sounded like his father, mother, and uncle were all arguing. Hiei's brow furrowed in confusion. How could they possibly fight at a time like this? Still, the arguing came to him loud and clear. Each word stabbing his heart sharply.
"I won't have it anymore, Hina! I've put up with this long enough. It's about time you let it go." He heard his father, Huroda, yell at his mother.
"I don't care! Hiei is a part of this family and will be for the rest of eternity. What is it you have against my son?" Hina questioned in a distressed voice.
"I agree with her, Huroda. Hiei is a fine lad that knows what he's doing. A bit silent, private, and seems a bit lonely all the time. That still doesn't compare at how big his heart is." Hiede defended in a surprisingly calm voice. It filled Hiei with warmth at the sound of these words. Lexi's ears quievered at all of this. It was tempting information to her.
"He is a murder my love. I know what you're getting at, but-"
"People can change and my son already has. You changed, so if I were you I wouldn't be talking." Hina snapped before her husband could reply.
"Really, the both of you stop arguing. What if your grandaughter and son and daughter heard you two arguing? I dare say, it would scare them." Hiede commented ending the argument.
Hiei felt his face grow hot. He had never known his uncle had such good instinct. He lifted his head from the door and sneaked away with Lexi. It would be better if they came back later. He had heard a surprised gasp from both his parents when his uncle had mentioned their grandaughter. He stared at Lexi who had trailed behind him. She was a bit taller then him, but size didn't matter. He was defenitely going to adopt her. No matter what anyone thought or said.
Shezka: Sort of a sweet ending, but it's not over yet. We're not out of the dog house yet. Oh, and I'll let you in on a little secret. I wrote this whole thing while listening to an audio book. So, in a way, I read my favorite book and wrote one at the same time.
