"Please, Hiei, let me help you." Kurama said reaching for somethings. Hiei caught his hand and had him sit down. Without saying a word Hiei turned back to what he was doing.

Hiei was finishing packing their things. They were headed back home already. Kurama's pains had worsened over night and they hoped they could make it home in time.

Their vacation was also cut back very short. They had only been up there a week and their original plan was a month. It seems that their child wanted to come early. Though because of that Kurama was weakening faster and the baby drained more ki than before.

Kurama only had a second to take a breath before another pain hit. He leaned forward holding his stomach a pained expression on his face. Hiei heard the bed move and turned around only to catch Kurama.

He had fallen unconscious. Hiei didn't know what to do. If he flitted off to Genkai's temple he would make it there in a few hours. He could also go to Makai, but he would have to explain to Mukuro what was going on.

Their house was out of the questioned, it was further away than Genkai's. Finally he decided to see if he could wake Kurama. If he couldn't than he would go to...

"Kurama! Kurama, come on, wake up!" Hiei yelled shaking the limp form. When Hiei shook him again calling out to him Kurama only groaned. That when he figured he would go to Genkai's.

If anything worse happened he would simply open a portal to Makai and go to Mukuro. Lifting Kurama carefully into his arms he flitted off to Genkai's.

Luck must have been on his side because he made it there in a hour and a half without any trouble. His only problem was though, Kurama has yet to awaken. He ended up almost dropping Kurama when he heard Yukina call up to him from the bottom of the stairs. "Onii-san, what are you doing here?" He heard her ask.

Turning slightly with Kurama still in his arms Yukina gasped, "Get him inside." It took a minute for the words to sink into Hiei's brain before he quickly entered the temple. Genkai, unfortunately, was out at the moment.

Hiei was surprised when she handed him a yamata. "Change Kurama into that while I collect somethings." Yukina instructed and hurried from the room. Hiei wasted no time changing Kurama.

When he finished Yukina wasn't back yet so he tried calling to Kurama again. Hiei wanted him to wake up so he knew he was ok. Yukina entered the room and continued her work.

Just as she finished preparing everything Kurama groaned and squeezed his eyes shut. "That's it Kurama. Open your eyes." Hiei said and pushed his hair off his face. Kurama slowly opened his eyes and noticed Hiei first.

"Koi?" Kurama whispered. Hiei smiled and hugged his whispering, "I was so worried." and "Your awake, my fox." Kurama looked surprised at this, "What's wrong Hiei?"

Hiei slowly pulled away to look at Kurama, "You've been out almost two hours. You passed out on me at the mountain." Kurama's eyes widened knowing how worried Hiei must have been.

"Where are we?" He asked. It was Yukina who answered, "Genkai's. Hiei carried you here when he couldn't wake you." Kurama looked at her than back at Hiei. After hearing that he understood Hiei's reaction to him waking up.

"I'm sorry I worried you both. I didn't mean to." Kurama said though he was looking at Hiei the whole time. Kurama's breath than caught as he cringed in pain. Doing as he always done Hiei fed his ki to Kurama.

After a moment Kurama took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He shifted uncomfortably. Yukina smiled seeing this as Hiei watched him with a worried expression.

"Let's get him into the other room with a bed." Yukina said. Carefully Hiei, once again, lifted into his arms. Only this time they were going a short distance. Hiei placed Kurama down on the bed.

Yukina set her things on the stand next to bed than asked Kurama if he felt anymore pain. Looking down a moment Kurama shook his head, "No, but I do feel uncomfortable." Yukina smiled, "That's to be expected."

When Kurama and Hiei heard her say that their baby was to be born in a couple days they only stared at her. "Well, it's true." She said. "I thought I at least had another month to go." Kurama said putting a hand on his very pregnant belly.

"Well, it's not uncommon for demon children to be born early. I know it seems like a shock but really everything is alright." Yukina said. Hiei thought for a moment than excused himself.

"Hiei? Where are you going?" Kurama asked trying to sit up from the bed. He didn't Hiei to leave him. "I'm going to call Yusuke and let him know that we're here." Hiei said. Kurama nodded and told him to hurry back.

With a kiss and an extra dose of his ki Hiei went to call Yusuke. Yusuke, to say, was shocked to hear that they were back. When he heard that the baby was coming soon he said he'd be there as fast as he could.

Hiei got off the phone and went back to his fox to tell him. Kurama laughed, "That's Yusuke for ya." The next pain came sooner than the others and Kurama's face twisted in pain.

Hiei took Kurama's hand in his and hoped that the pain would pass quickly. It didn't it lasted about three minutes and left Kurama sweaty and panting. Kurama had gripped Hiei's hand so tight that it was bright red.

Seeing this Kurama looked at Hiei guilty. Hiei, not understanding his expression, tilted his head to the side. He followed his mates gaze to his hand and he smiled, "I'm fine." Kurama blushed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Hiei grinned holding his hand to Kurama's face, "You can kiss it and make it feel better." Kurama laughed slightly and instead of kissing his hand he leaned over to kiss his mate passionately.

Hearing a soft giggle from the door way they turned and saw Keiko and Yusuke in the doorway. Keiko was the one who giggled and Yusuke was grinning. "Howe are you feeling Kurama?" Keiko asked.

He smiled at little, "Better but the pains are getting worse. Thank you for coming." Both nodded coming to sit by the fox. Yusuke laid a hand on Kurama's stomach smirking when he felt the baby kick.

Keiko felt his stomach next giggling again, though this time because of the baby. "Oh, just wait until you have the baby, he or she will be so beautiful." She said smiling at Kurama. He smiled back.

Another pain sharper than the last made him grip the sheets in his hand. He forced himself to take deep breaths and try to relax. This one didn't last long but the pain made it worse than the last.

Yukina saw this and had Keiko and Yusuke leave the room. "Do you mind if I do a quick check up on the child?" Yukina asked when Keiko and Yusuke left the room. Kurama looked to Hiei than shook his head, "I don't mind."

When Yukina was finished she looked at Kurama, "I'm sorry Kurama. Your going to be uncomfortable for a few days. Your body is already switching to the delivering part of the pregnancy. I can give you something to ease the pain but not to completely get rid of it."

Kurama smiled at her, "Thank you Yukina some medicine would help a lot." Smiling happily she quickly left to get the medicine leaving Hiei and Kurama alone. "Are you sure you'll be alright Baby? I want to feel as comfortable as you can." Hiei said.

"The medicine Yukina is getting will help ease the pain and hopefully can let me sleep a few hours. I'm tired but I know I will not be able to sleep." Kurama said. Hiei sat next to him and had Kurama lean against his chest, "I'm sure you'll asleep in no time."

Yukina came back in and gave Kurama the medicine. Hiei was right, Kurama fell asleep a couple minutes after taking the medicine. "The medicine will settle within the hour so he may be sleeping longer than he thought." Yukina said smiling at Hiei.

Hiei smiled back at her, "Thank you little sister. At least I know he's getting rest. I don't believe he had been able to sleep well." Yukina nodded understanding why. The baby took more than just Kurama's ki. His energy was always drained and tired easily.

Though, most the time he didn't want Hiei to know. Being mates Hiei knows when Kurama is in a lot of pain or tired. "I'll make something to eat and bring it to you. You just stay there and allow Kurama to rest." Yukina said and hurried from the room.

Yusuke and Keiko were curious if Kurama was ok. Yukina said that he was sleeping and Hiei was with him. Than said how she was going to make something to eat for everyone. Keiko followed Yukina to help her and Yusuke when to check on Kurama.

When Yusuke cracked open the door he saw Hiei watching him. "Hey, how is he?" Yusuke asked looking at Kurama. "He's worn out and is now getting extra rest. He should feel better when he wakes." Hiei said whispering.

Yusuke nodded and smiled at the two. 'I'm so happy for them. Damn, I wish I had a camera.'
