Hiei woke up in the middle of the night. This wasn't right. He was cold. He tried to sit up and pull a blanket over himself but nothing worked. And on top of that his stomach was hurting him terribly. He remembered something about babies stomachs hurting when they were hungry. Great, what the hell was he supposed to eat? And he had to wait for Kurama to get up on his own. He didn't want to wake his friend, but oh man, it really hurt. He squeaked lightly and got no response. He yelled a little louder and Kurama's eyebrows furrowed and he rolled over. Hiei started kicking his feet and whining loudly, not caring that he was crying again.
"Hmmm...?" Kurama got up and lifted Hiei up. "What's the matter little one?"
"I'm hungry!! And don't make fun of my size!! Why is it so cold in here?" Hiei fussed in Kurama's arms and he seemed to figure one thing out as he carried Hiei into the kitchen and made a bottle. Wait...a bottle? No, this had to be some kind of a bad joke.
Kurama put the nipple of the bottle into Hiei's mouth and watched as he began to drink the liquid with pure embarrassment in his eyes. He carried him upstairs, and when he was done he burped him and lay him back in his bed. Hiei gave up on his pride and whined loudly.
"What?" Kurama asked a little louder than he intended. Hiei's eyes filled up and he broke eye contact with his long time friend. "...I'm sorry Hiei...I'm tired...and I don't know what you want."
Hiei kept silent, willing away the urge to cry. He let out the tiniest of whines at odd time intervals though. Kurama wraped a blanket around Hiei and picked him up. The blanket was all he'd wanted...so why was Kurama still holding him? The kitsune carried the infant back to his bed and lay him down facing towards the wall. He lay next to him and held him in a sort of final apology. Hiei watched him for a short while, then fell asleep. Who knew babies had it so hard?

Kurama woke first the next morning and lay Hiei back in the crib. He changed into his school uniform and looked at the defenseless baby. He hadn't thought about what to do with him while he was at school. He picked up the car seat Koenma had given him and quickly changed Hiei's cloths and diaper, being careful not to wake the sleeping demon. He buckled him into the car seat and grabbed the diaper bag. It was packed full of everything he needed, including Diapers, blankets, water bottles, baby bottles, and formula powder. He picked him up and walked towards the door. That was when Hiei woke up.
He looked around tiredly and yawned. "Kurama...where are we going?" He gurgled. Kurama looked down at him.
"You know I can't understand you..." Kurama said softly, apologetically.
"Great...you won't hear a damned thing from me when I'm back to my normal size." Hiei's face got red as he grouched.
"...Did you poop again?" Kurama looked at him.
"No you idiot!! I'm going to kill you!!" He kicked his feet angrily.
"Hiei...tantruming isn't going to help and you know it. You need to accept what's happened and deal with it." Kurama said softly.
"You try being turned into a baby!!" Hiei shouted.
Kurama sighed and stopped in front of the school. He unbuttoned Hiei from the car seat and picked him up. People stopped to watch as Kurama patted Hiei's bottom and cooed to him. If anyone had known how angry the small demon was they would have been shocked. Keiko rushed over to Kurama.
"Yusuke told me everything!" She said, reaching for Hiei.
"What do you mean?" Kurama asked, handing him to her.
"Oh, you poor thing." She lightly bounced Hiei and kissed his forhead. "You're so cute."
"You do know he can understand you, right?" Kurama asked with mild amusement on his face. "And he'll remember all of that."
"Um..." Keiko blushed. "Well...who cares! He missed out on a proper childhood the first time around! He's getting a second chance."
"...that's one way to look at it. The other way is that he's a pissed off little shrimp that's going to tear our heads off once this whole thing is over." Yusuke's voice slipped into the conversation. They looked up and saw him sitting on a wall.
"You're going ot be the first to die!!" Hiei shouted. They all looked at him.
"What the hell did he just say?" Yusuke asked.
Hiei's face turned bright red and he gave up, sticking his face into Keiko's chest. Keiko looked at him for a moment, wondering if he was doing something perverted, but decided Hiei wasn't like that and simply held him.
"What the hell are you doing to my girl?!" Yusuke jumped down.
"Hey, that's enough! He's just a baby!" Keiko held him defensively.
"You know he's not! There's a ful grown man underneath that baby face!" Yusuke shouted.
"Well how many full grown men do you know that cry when they're getting screamed at?!" Keiko got in Yusuke's face.
"He's crying?" Yusuke backed up with a dumb look on his face. Keiko turned Hiei so they could see his face, and to prove that he really was crying. "Oh god..."
"You should be ashamed!" Keiko screamed at him. "He is a baby! Wether he admits it or not, even as a full grown man, he's just a scared little kid!"
"No I'm not!" Hiei kicked furiously.
"Oh, you've got a runny nose!" Keiko reached into her pocket and pulled out a small napkin. She wiped his nose and smiled. "All better?"
"Keiko...you're really pissing him off." Kurama said.
"I don't care. He'll have to face fact eventually, won't he?" Keiko looked at Kurama with a stone face. He sighed.
"Well, do you want to take him for the day? I need to sleep through lunch..." Kurama yawned.
"I'd love to!!" Keiko giggled. She grabbed the car seat and diaper bag. "I'll meet you at your house around 6?"
"Yeah..." Kurama agreed. He really hoped Keiko didn't write her own death sentence.
Keiko walked into the school building and brought Hiei right into the culinary arts room. The teacher simply stared for a moment.
"He's my friends cousin." She lied quickly. "I offered to take him for the day."
"How sweet of you." The teacher smiled softly.
Girls gathered around Keiko and cooed at the baby. Comments of how cute he was floated through the air and girls begged to hold him. Hiei stared at them. Why would anyone want anything to do with a demon like him? The last time he was a baby they'd tried to kill him. Why were these females so different? He was passed around to all the girls and he watched them all intently as they tried to make him smile. One of them succeeded in making him not just smile, but giggle, as they tickled his sides.
Was this something they did with all babies? He didn't care, it was amusing. Females of the human race were very attracted to children it seemed. Uh-oh. Now something was happening that he didn't like. There was a sudden wetness in his diaper. Damn the bladder controll! He kicked in irritation and Keiko just watched. A redhaired girl was holding him now, and he whined loudly, waving his tiny fists in the air.
"Oh look at you, getting all worked up! What's the matter?" She cooed. "Need a diaper change?"
She layed him down on the table and everyone watched at she removed his clothing and changed his diaper. Was there anything more embarassing than this? The girls found it cute, though. They started passing him around again and he felt the familiar pain in his stomach. This was rediculus! He had to flat out cry to get anything he needed! He fussed loudly, reaching towards Keiko, who seemed to understand. She made a quick bottle and took him back into her arms to feed him.
He tried to grab hold of the bottle, determined to at least feed himself, but all he ended up doing was knocking it to the ground. He watched as it fell and started tantruming again. Keiko simply picked it up and resumed feeding him, watching as he fell asleep. He was realizing one thing. He prefered to sleep with the warmth of arms around him. Not that he'd ever admit it, of course. It just felt nice.
