Kurama smiled as he walked home from the store the next evening. Hiei suggested to go on vacation and left it up to him to decide where they were going. He still didn't know where. 'Maybe vacation wasn't the best idea after all.' Kurama thought. He reached the house as Hiei had just opened the front door. "Hello Love. I was hoping maybe we could talk." Kurama said.

Hiei took some bags from Kurama and headed to the kitchen, "Of course Fox. What do you want to talk about?" "About that trip we're still think of." Kurama said going into the kitchen. Hiei, thinking that Kurama finally decided, followed behind his mate to the kitchen, "Ok, what about it?" Kurama put down the bags and turned to Hiei, "Where do you want to go?"

Hiei was thrown off be the question, "I said you could decide. Why the sudden change?" Kurama started emptying out the bags and started lunch as he thought about it. Hiei watched with interest. It looked like Kurama was thinking of a way to say what he wanted without hurting Hiei's feelings. "Fox! Just tell me, I wont be mad." Hiei said irritated.

"Well, I don't know if it's a good idea. What if something happens while were gone or the baby decides to come early or..." "Fox! Listen to yourself. Nothing could possibly happen while we're gone and your not due for about another two months or so. We can have Yusuke check on the house for us. Hell, he could stay here for all care. I just want us to go somewhere so we can relax. You've been stressing yourself out lately and Mukuro isn't expecting until after our child born." Hiei said his voice getting softer.

Kurama thought hard about it, Hiei did have a point and he would love the relaxing time with Hiei. "Alright but we're both deciding on a place to go together." Kurama said in defeat. Hiei smiled, "Good choice. We can talk about it over lunch." So all through lunch they talked about different places until Kurama said, "Hiei could we go to America?"

Hiei got really quiet after that and Kurama got nervous. Did he say something wrong? Was Hiei going to yell at him for saying something so ridiculous? "I suppose if that's where you want to go. I was hoping we could stay in Japan in case there was more demon trouble or Yukina needed us." Hiei was so calm and quiet Kurama had to stop eating and strain to hear him. "Than we'll stay here. The more I think about it I don't I should be on a plane this close to my due date." Kurama said reaching out and taking Hiei's hand.

Kurama face suddenly lit up and he squeezed Hiei's hand, "What if we went up to the mountains?" Hiei grinned from ear to ear, "I think that has been one of the best ideas so far. Let's do that. We'll take our time and should be back in a month. Than one month later we can hold our baby." Kurama jumped up and pulled Hiei into a big hug, "Oh Hiei-Koi I love you so much. Thank you for not giving up on me." Hiei couldn't help but smile back, "I love you too my crazy Fox."

The rest of the day they made arrangements to go to the mountains. They called Yusuke to ask if he could watch the house. He agreed and to call him when there going to leave and he would be right there. Hiei was happy to say the least. He was happy because Kurama was. Kurama was running all around getting ready so they could leave the next morning. "Fox take a break. Dinner is almost ready. And no you can't contiune after you've eaten. Your taking a break the rest of the night, I'll handle the rest." Hiei said leading Kurama to the kitchen.

They eat, Hiei finished packing as Kurama told him what to pack, and finally they settled down for sleep at about 3 in the morning. Kurama said that if they were ready to go by noon the next day they could reach the first rest stop by that night. Hiei spooned Kurama up next to him, kissed him good night and they fell asleep.
