Chapter Five: A mission for the Lovers and Theives.

((A/N: Please forgive all grammar and spelling mistakes. I have a good reason for leaving this story as is. Also, I forgot something...))

Disclaimer: I do not now, nor will I ever, own Yu Yu Hakusho. Sadly I own only the plot and the OC's in this story, nothing more. Wow, that actually wasn't as hard as I thought it would be...heh heh.

"'Bout time you showed up...Youko...who's that with you?"Yusuke said, punching one of the four demons they were trying to catch. "Merina." Youko answered. "No way, Merina's a blond, not to mention, not that cute." Kuwabara said stupidly, narrowly avoiding a blow from one of the demons they were after. "Idiot. Skyleana's the blond, Merina's merged with her. Like Youko and Kurama." Yusuke said. "Who are you calling an Idiot, Idiot?" Kuwabara said. "Hn. you're both Bakas." Hiei said, 'so that's the infamous 'Merina of Moonrose', is it, Youko?' Hiei asked Youko telepathically. 'Yes, she is. And you remember who she's always been with?' Youko replied. Hiei smirked, "It's good to see the two of you together again." he said whilst he turned back to the battle. "Wait, did he just say, 'together again?'" Yusuke asked him. "Yes," Youko said, while punching a demon roughly. "So that means?" Yusuke said. "Yes." Youko replied, then he and Merina rounded up the demons with Hiei's help. Yusuke called for a portal and they all returned to Koenma's office.

--------------------------------------------------------------Hours later, at Kurama's house.--------------------------------------------------------------------

Yusuke, Keiko, Hiei, Kuwabara, Kurama and Skye were gathered in Kurama's living room. "So, that was a mission for Lovers and Thieves..."Skye joked, the others laughing and nodding agreeably. "So! The uhm...name you want to go by now is Skye, because of...well...school?" Keiko asked for the tenth time. "Yes." Skye said, "and 'Merina' is just a nic-name, really." Keiko nodded. "I see...so you're like Shuichi, then?" Skye grinned and Yusuke said, "You can say that again...but please don't, we're all bored..." Everyone laughed at this, but nodded. "Well, I guess we'll be going now..."Yusuke said as he and Keiko left. "Me too, I still have homework to do..." Kuwabara said as he left. "Hn. Bye kitsunes." Hiei said, blurring out the door. Kurama closed and locked his door, turning to Skye. "We're alone again..." He said, looking thoughtful. She began to fidgit nervously, eyeing him as she sat on the sofa. "Let's watch a movie." He suggested, and she nodded, mumbling, "Okay." He searched his movie collection for something specific, and pulled out one movie he liked that he thought she'd enjoy too, showing it to her. The Titanic was the title, and she nodded her approval. He went and made some popcorn while the previews were playing, then they sat watching the movie together. Some time into the movie, she fell asleep on his lap, he looked at the clock. It was nine p.m., Kurama smiled, it had been a long day. Soon, the movie ended, and he turned off the T.V. and VCR, then he, too, fell asleep. Early the next morning, Kurama's eyes snapped open.'Something warm and soft and...what is laying on top of me?' he thought, looking down at her. 'Skye.' he thought, seeing her there. She was cuddling him, placing her hands beneath her head upon his chest, her eyes lightly closed. 'She's so cute...' he thought, smiling gently. Someone knocked on the door. "Skye, wake up." Kurama whispered, shaking her slightly. "Mmmm...Kurama...sun's too bright..." Skye mumbled, stirring. Her eyes snapped open, and she sighed against him. Someone knocked again. Kurama picked Skye up and stood. He set her on her feet, she wobbled and leaned against him. He walked to the door with her and answered it. It took him a second to realise it was Hiei. "Kitsune, why are you up? Well, anyway...I came to ask you for more sweet snow." Hiei said. Kurama yawned, "I'm up for school, and I don't have any sweet snow...go bug Yusuke." Kurama said, stiffling another yawn. Hiei gave an annoyed look, saying, "Yusuke already said no." he Hned, then left. Kurama closed and locked the door. Skye went into his room and he followed. They showered seperately, got dressed for school...Skye leaving her hair down and not brushing it. Then Kurama made them some breakfast, and after they ate, they headed to school. They caught up with the others on the way. Hiei sat on the school arch, eating an icecream cone. "Hn. you Bakas are slow." Hiei said, finishing his icecream and jumping down. "At least we are here." Kurama huffed, his arm around Skye's waist. 'Hn. kitsune, you are in trouble.' Hiei thought, sniffing the air. 'What? Why?' Kurama responded, raising an eyebrow. 'Three words. She is Pregnant.' Hiei answered, indicating Skye. 'What have I done?' Kurama whined, shaking his head. 'What? You didn't sense it?' Youko asked, rolling his eyes, 'Why do you think I was worried since that first night we...you know.' he added, laughing. 'So, I get to be God-father or Else.' Hiei intoned meaningfully, and Kurama replied, 'Of course, Hiei. I would ask no other.' Skye looked at him and whined, clearly she'd just had a conversation with Merina, because she thought, 'I'm pregnant?' Kurama tensed and nodded, hugging her gently. "It's okay, I'll take care of you." he whispered so only she and Hiei would hear him. Skye relaxed and they headed on into the school building together. "So, Kurama...ever gonna clue us in ahead of time? What's going on, huh? I know you, shorty, and Skye were having secret conversations again..." Yusuke said stupidly. "Yusuke, I know you aren't as dumb as you act." Kurama huffed. "Skye and you are lovers who got a second chance, I know that much. I also think of you as a brother, Kurama...and I know when something is troubling you, so spill. What's up?" Yusuke said, a bit smarter than his last comment. "Well, since you think of me as a brother, and Hiei already got the God-father role...I guess you're gonna be an uncle in about nine months, Yusuke." Kurama said, finding no way to be subtle about it. Yusuke's jaw dropped, and he looked closer at Skye, seeing the winged-fox mate mark on her shoulder, then the matching one on Kurama's and finally understanding. "You mated her? That's why Koenma was so upset?! And I'm going to be an uncle...? That's amazing, Kurama~!" He said, punching the air as the entered the classroom. Everyone in the class turned and looked when they entered the classroom and sat down. The teacher rushed in before the bell, sat down and started taking roll-call. She paused at Skye's name, looked up, and said, "You married your boyfriend?" Skye nodded, saying, "It was an arranged marriage, but I don't mind because I fell in love with him anyway." The teacher seemed to accept this answer and finished up the roll-call. Then she started the lesson, making some students go to the board to work out problems as usual, and giving a lecture, expecting them to take notes. Skye pulled out her sketchbook and began a picture, noting that no one was taking notes. Hiei even seemed to be taking a nap. "Hiei!" the teacher yelled, anime veins popping out on her forehead. "Why are you sleeping in class? Everyone else is doing their work..." Hiei slowly sat up, opening one eye as though he'd been listening all along. "Hn, whatever." Hiei said, going to the board and writing the lecture word for word without missing a beat. He then took his seat again with a smirk. "Okay, so maybe you weren't really sleeping...my mistake." the teacher said, sweatdropping. She passed out their homework, Skye finished her drawing before the teacher got to her desk, but didn't reach out to take the homework. The teacher left it on Skye's desk and moved on. 'When will the stupid bell ring?' Skye thought, scowling at the homework. The rest of the day passed rather quickly, to everyone's surprise.
