Hiei woke up suddenly. It was silent and dark in the house. His eyes adjusted and he saw the bear next to him. He sat up and stared at it. What was he supposed to do with a bear?

'Keiko...' He thought to himself. A grin spread like butter across his face.

He jumped on top of the bear that was only a bit smaller than himself. He'd been able to tell that he was gaining unnecessary weight, and he figured playing would help him lose it. He giggled and it came out as more of a squeal and he instantly rolled off the bear and crawled to the other side of the crib, afraid someone would wake up and see him playing.

After a long while no one came. He grinned and went back to his game, eventually wearing himself out and collapsing on top of the abused animal. He snuggled against it, closing his eyes and preparing for sleep when that awful pain returned to his stomach and reminded him that he really did need to eat. He tried to ignore it and closed his eyes, drifting into a light sleep after not too long.

About an hour later he woke up to harsher pains and a still dark house. He yelled loudly at the stabbing feeling. The bedroom light turned on and Yusuke stared at him. He was curled into a tight ball, holding his stomach.

"Are you sick?" He picked Hiei up. "Holy shit! You're on fire!"

He ran out to Keiko with Hiei in his arms. He shook her lightly and she sat up.

"What?" She asked tiredly.

"He's really hot. I think he's sick." He looked at her, unsure what to do.

"Babies temperatures rise when they sleep. He's probably fine." She said, reaching for the demon. Yusuke handed her off, feeling slightly relieved. That is, until Keiko gasped. "Oh my god...call Kurama."

"Why? Is he ok?" Yusuke looked at her.

"No, his temperature is at least 102.." She got up and put Hiei into the carriage. He yelled loudly and Keiko shook her head. "What do you want?"

"Boba." He forced out.

She nodded and made him a bottle, and he stared in surprise that she understood him. Yusuke walked into the room and sighed.

"Kurama's going up to talk to Koenma and get a spirit doctor down here." He said.

"Alright then..should we wait?" Keiko looked at Hiei thoughtfully before picking him up and feeding him.

"Yeah. I think that'd probably be best." Keiko nodded and sat down.

Hiei grabbed the bottle and chewed fiercely on the nipple while sucking down all the contents. Keiko smiled down at him and ran her fingers through his hair, causing him to pause and look up at her. After a few moments the pain in his stomach reminded him to keep eating and he did, all the while chewing the hell out of the nipple. When the liquid was gone from the bottle Keiko pulled it away from him and he immediately held tighter to it. She just laughed and reached into the diaper bag, pulling out a pacifier and popping it into his mouth.

He now turned his forceful chewing to the new object in his mouth. That tooth was really hurting him. He had tears forming in his eyes as he felt Keiko pulling the sucker away and reaching a finger into his mouth and feeling around for the bump on his gums, and gasping in surprise when she found not a lump, but three teeth.

"Well...I guess they weren't kidding when they said you'd develope quickly...now I know why you have a fever." Keiko smiled. Hiei cried out loudly and Keiko sighed.

"Hey, I think Kurama's here." Yusuke said, pulling the blinds on the window to the side. There was a heavy knock on the door and he smiled in relief, opening the door.

But it wasn't Kurama at the door. It was a cop.

"Can I help you, officer?" He asked. Hiei regained the binky and set about to destroying it.

"Who's baby is that?" The cop asked. "Because I know your mother didn't have another child."

"Oh him? He's um...heheh..." He laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Well, you know, he's my friend's kid."

"Oh really? Which friend?" The cop looked at him skeptically.

"Which friend? Oh, well, he's um..." Yusuke looked at Keiko nervously.

"He's mine." Kurama's voice floated into the room. The cop turned around.

"Shuichi? Who's the mother?" He asked with a hard face.

"I'm a single parent. I'm adopting him." Kurama said. "It was a personal project, to take care of an orphaned child for a small amount of time, but I grew a liking for him and decided to keep him in my home."

"Right...does your mother know about this?" He asked warily.

"Yes." Shuichi nodded.

"Well..alright then. I'd better not get any more calls about screaming babies, though." He said, annoyed.

"Understood." Yusuke said. The cop left and Kurama came inside, with Koenma and a black haired girl behind him.

"What's wrong with him?" Kurama asked, taking Hiei from Keiko.

"He got three teeth." Keiko looked at him.

"Ah...well, I'm not needed then." The black haired girl said, turning to leave.

"No...I want you to check him over anyway." Koenma said. The girl nodded.

"Yes, of course." She held out her arms for the 'child' and Kurama placed him into them.

She lay him down and checked everything vital, and sighed.

"He's sick. Not just from his teeth. Has anyone been leaving windows open at night or anything to that effect? Fire demons don't always handle the cold as well." She looked around. Kurama nodded slowly.

"Yeah, the past two nights I have." He sighed. "I thought he was over heated."

"So he's been without blankets as well?" She asked. Kurama nodded in shame.

"Alright, well, just keep him warm and be prepared for puking and he'll be fine." She held Hiei close to her body, patting his bottom until he fell asleep.

"I'm going to take him back to my house, ok guys?" Kurama took Hiei back fromt he girl and placed him into the stroller.

"We'll bring his stuff over in the morning." Yusuke nodded.

"Alright then, good night." Kurama left with Hiei and went back to his house.

He placed Hiei into his bed and curled up next to him, making sure he was safe. As he was falling asleep though, Hiei was waking up. He crawled closer to Kurama and nuzzled against his chest. Kurama smiled down at Hiei and rolled onto his ack, so the tiny demon was laying on his chest. He ran his fingrs through his hair and sighed, reaching out to then touch Hiei's hair.

"You need some warmer PJ's." Kurama said, puting Hiei down and getting up.

He went over to his dresser and opened the top drawer. He looked through the cloths and eventually found some very warm footy pajama's and a bag blanket. He pulled Hiei's cloths off, and decided to change him as well. Then he pulled the new cloths onto him and put him into the blanket, which he seemed to enjoy a lot.

Kurama held Hiei against his chest and lay back down. He felt Hiei nuzzle against him again, and then settle down. Kurama hestitantly ran his fingers through Hiei's hair and smiled. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
