Here's the second chapter to my newest YYH fic, Baby of Mine! Yay! I really haven't had much to do since I broke my ankle, so I worked on this fic. And, to tell you the truth, I really had lost interest in it until just now. So, I guess I'll write chapter two and see what I think of this fic now.
Thanks for all of your kind reviews for chapter one! They really helped me! I can only hope I get twice as many for chapter two!
Alright, enough of my rambling, and let's get on to the second chapter!
Baby of Mine
Chapter Two: Bodyguard?
For Yusuke, the past night had been...interesting, to say the least. If he was asleep, he was having strange dreams. And if he was awake, he was either satisfying an odd craving or puking. Interesting was putting it lightly. And it didn't help at all that, at eight in the morning, a certain orange haired man came barging into his apartment, demanding to know what the hell was going on.
"Haven't you ever heard of knocking?" The dark haired man asked, desperately trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes.
"Urameshi! What do you think you're doing?" Kazuma Kuwabara demanded as he stomped towards Yusuke, who was stretched out rather comfortably on the couch.
"I was sleeping until you almost broke down the damn door trying to get in." He replied sleepily.
"That's not what I meant!"
"Then what did you mean?"
Kuwabara slapped his forehead out of pure exasperation. "Urameshi..." He growled dangerously. "How...dare...you..."
"How dare I what?"
"How dare you sacrifice your manhood to father...err...mother a child!"
Yusuke looked down at his crotch, "My manhood is still here."
"I didn't mean that!"
"Then what did you mean?"
"You already said that!"
"That's because I don't know what the hell you're talking about!"
Kuwabara stopped yelling and sunk down to the floor, massaging his temples by placing his fingers to his head and slowly going in circular motions with them. He finally got the will to speak after what seemed like an eternity of thinking to him, in reality, it was only mere seconds. "Koenma told me...he told all of us. Hiei, Keiko, Yukina, Genkai...Genkai called you a dumbass for the millionth time."
Yusuke gave a slight chuckle, "That's Genkai for you. No matter what I do, she calls me a dumbass."
"Because you are one."
"That's not funny." Yusuke glared. Kuwabara laughed harder at the Spirit Detective's utter seriousness. A pillow was thrown at the carrot top's head to prove his point.
"You shouldn't laugh. It makes you look stupider."
"I didn't come here to be insulted."
"Then you shouldn't have come at all."
Kuwabara growled in frustration. " I...came here to check on you..."
"Why?" Yusuke was puzzled.
The orange haired man seemed contemplative, nervous, to tell him or not why he came. "Keiko was worried about you."
Keiko? Yusuke thought, glancing over at Kuwabara, who had a far away look in his eyes, as if he were thinking about something. "What did she say?"
"She said she didn't know why you would do something like this, but it was okay with her."
"Well, that's weird...for Keiko to be so supportive of this."
Kuwabara rose from the floor and headed over to Yusuke. Once he reached him, he sighed, "This is weird, Urameshi." He placed a large hand on Yusuke's stomach, which had already gotten slightly round, to the Detective's surprise. "But I'm sure everything will turn out alright." He started to rub Yusuke's stomach softly with his hand.
"Okay, Kuwabara, quit molesting me!"
"Hey! I wasn't molesting you!" The carrot top defended. "I read in 'Babies Digest' that if you rub a pregnant person's stomach, the baby will - "
"Be scarred for life because you molested the parent!"
"I wasn't molesting!"
"I felt you going lower!"
Kuwabara jerked his hand away from Yusuke's belly as if it were on fire. The two just stared at each other, horrified looks on their faces, as an awkward silence engulfed the room.
"I think I'd better go." Kuwabara said hurriedly.
"Yeah."
Kuwabara walked to the door. His hand was inches from the doorknob when he said, "He, Urameshi?"
"What is it now?"
"I just remembered..." Kuwabara said, glancing over at Yusuke. "Botan told me to remind you to lay off the beer, cigs, and your porn. She told me she's watching your every move."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. She came here last night and 'baby proofed' the apartment." Yusuke rolled his eyes.
"You can never be too careful with a baby on the way."
Yusuke looked at him curiously. He had a glint in his eye...he's up to something, but what?
"You're looking at my like I'm hiding something. I'm not." Kuwabara opened the door.
"You are." Yusuke said, no doubt clouded his mind. He knew the orange haired man was up to something. He just needed to find out what it was.
"Bye, Urameshi."
And with that, Kuwabara shut the door and left the apartment.
"I'm surprised you got him to do it, Koenma." A chipper Botan told the toddler.
"I was as shocked as you." Koenma replied. "The strangest thing was, I didn't convince him...he volunteered."
"I'll do it, Koenma."
Koenma remembered the man's words. Now, all he had to do was wait to get an angry Yusuke in his office, complaining about a certain visitor to his apartment and how he wouldn't leave.
That visitor was Hiei.
Kuwabara kicked off his shoes by the door and entered his house. He called out loudly, "Hey, sis, I'm home!" Looking around the house, he began to full curiosity.
He yelled again, "Sis!"
The orange haired man walked into the kitchen. There, on the refrigerator, was a note left by his apparently annoyed sister.
Bro,
Yukina called while you were out. She said she needed help with something. I'll be back in a few hours.
Shizuru
P.S. There's food in the fridge. And, by the way, don't try to come and help, you'll only end up acting like an idiot and hurt yourself.
Aww...why does Shizuru have to do this to me? Kuwabara thought sadly. "I'm the one who loves Yukina, not her!"
Once again, Kuwabara's booming voice was heard throughout the house.
The tall man walked into the living room and sighed as he plopped down on the plush pillows of his sofa. Ah, time for a nice nap...
Suddenly, an amused smile spread across his features. Kuwabara let out an amused chuckle.
"I wish I could see the look on his face when he..."
Kuwabara trailed off as sleep claimed him, but the same smile remained on his lips.
A lone figure raced its way through the leafless bushes and trees along the pathway. The chilling wind whipped at his hair and cloak, causing them to billow around him slightly. His boots crunched on the freshly fallen snow and against the hard bark of the trees. Crimson red eyes glanced up finally as he stopped, standing on the very top branches of a tree that was only a few feet away from the window to the Detective's apartment.
His superb vision zeroed in on the figure he was glancing at through the clear glass window.
Yusuke's jet black hair was left down around his eyes, no trace of gel was in the dark locks. Water dripped from the stands of hair and ran down his perfectly sculpted chest. Muscular arms stretched up above his head, and the Detective yawned in a catlike way.
The Jaganshi looked at Yusuke as he sat on his couch, stretching his limbs even more.
Hiei jumped very gracefully from the tree to the windowsill. He pressed his body against the left side of the wall around the window, so he couldn't be seen.
Slowly, he peeked around the edge of the wall, and was met with a pair of almond orbs, boring holes into him.
Hiei resisted his natural instinct to run off and instead he met Yusuke's gaze with a glare of his own.
Suddenly, the window was yanked open.
Yusuke looked at Hiei.
Hiei looked at Yusuke.
Yusuke was pissed.
Hiei was indifferent.
"Why were you spying on me, Hiei?" An angry Yusuke growled, chocolate eyes narrowed.
"Hn." Hiei grunted. "It's nothing."
"Yes, it was something!" Yusuke fumed. "You were looking at me! That's something!"
"Ugh..." The hiyoukai moaned, rubbing his temples in an aggravated manner.
Yusuke moved to the side so Hiei could come in. The raven haired demon gave an exasperated sigh and looked up at the Detective. "I've been assigned to protect you, Yusuke."
Yusuke's mouth hung open. "Wha?"
"You heard me." Hiei said. "Let me explain. Since you are...with child, many demons will want to kill you once they find out. You won't be able to move around as well because of your...condition." The Jaganshi seemed awkward in his explanation.
Yusuke scoffed, "I don't need to be that agile." He held up his hand and curled his fingers so it was in the shape of a gun. "I have this."
Scarlet orbs rolled in a gesture of annoyance. "You idiot."
"What? It's true!"
"No, it's not." Hiei snapped, obviously irritated with the Spirit Detective's foolishness.
"Alright, then why isn't it?"
"Because, while you're pregnant, your spirit energy will be reduced dramatically, so it won't harm the child. If you had your full energy while you were pregnant with Kurama, he would probably be destroyed by the sheer pressure of your spirit energy."
The dark haired man looked at Hiei, almond orbs wide. "You're...serious..."
"Did I stutter?"
Yusuke growled, not only did he have to play the role of a woman and give birth, but now, he had to rely on the protection of the Jaganshi who stood before him.
This was not going to be fun.
Hiei sighed in relief, "Finally you listen. Oh, and by the way, I'm going to be living with you, if you haven't figured that out already."
"Living with me?"
Hiei only nodded in reply before saying, "Koenma told be if anyone took this job, they would have to live with you."
Yusuke gaped at the hiyoukai.
Definitely not fun.
Hiei moved his blood red eyes downward, focusing them on the peculiar item of clothing Yusuke was wearing. A smirk soon passed his lips and he said, "Red boxers with pink hearts, Yusuke?"
The Detective's cheeks burned with embarrassment as he raced to his bedroom to change, cursing all the way.
Oh, no, not fun. Torture. Pure torture.
End Chapter Two.
