Hiei woke up after about 12 hours. Kurama wasn't in the room, but he didn't mind. He was just trying to find out why it was so dark. It didn't matter though, he just got onto his feet and stumbled his way to the bathroom. He felt like he was going to be sick again.
After a few rounds of harsh vomiting he lay down on the bathroom floor, lacking the energy it would've taken to go anywhere else. He started to fall back to sleep when he felt the bile climbing his throat again. He ignored it and hoped it would go away, but ended up puking on the floor, effectively getting it in his hair and on his cloths.
He lay there in it for a few minutes, too exhausted to do anything else. He lay there, worried about Kurama not coming, or the possibility of him drowning in his own vomit as he started to fall asleep again. He really wished Kurama would come find him, but he had a sneeky suspicion that the red head was sleeping. Either way, the stench really got to him and he yelled loudly.
"Rama!! Rama hep!!" He screamed loudly, before falling silent and closing his eyes.
"Hiei?" Kurama stumbled into the room. "Oh my god..."
He picked Hiei up and turned on the bath water. He quickly flushed the toiled and took off Hiei's cloths and lay him into the water, cleaning him off gently.
"Rama...sick.." Hiei mumbled.
"I know, calm down." He washed Hiei's hair and then took him out of the tub. He wrapped him up in a warm towel and this time just held Hiei, more concerned with him than his clothing.
"Rama..." He whispered.
"Yeah?" Kurama looked at him. He didn't answer right away. "Want me to put you down?"
"No..never..." His "R" sounded somewhat like a "W", but it always had. Kurama nodded. "Wuv you..."
"I love you too." Kurama said. Hiei breathed heavily.
"Seepy..." He mumbled, nuzzling against Kurama.
"Go ahead, go to sleep." Kurama kissed his forehead.
"Mhmm..." He slipped into a sleeping world.
Kurama lay him down and put a diaper on him, then put some warm footy pajama's on him, ending it with a bag blanket. He held the small demon against his chest, almost sad that he was so big now, but knowing he'd always be able to hold him that way. He was amused at the fact that he would always have his height over the smaller male. Hiei was a short man at full height, so Kurama would always have the upper hand.
He brought Hiei into his room and lay down on his bed with Hiei on his chest. He sighed contently, making sure he had a firm hold on Hiei before going to sleep.

The next day came and Kurama realized that it was more than just Hiei wanting to be held, but he also wanted to hold him. So he bought a cloth baby carrier and wrapped it around both Hiei and himself so he could hold Hiei without having to tire his arms constantly. Hiei was nervous at first, clutching tight to Kurama, whining his name softly. Kurama meerly chuckled and held his hands up, watching Hiei.
Eventually the fire demon settled down, finding that he enjoyed being close to Kurama like this. He also decided that the bag blanket he'd slept in the night before was his favorite and refused to let Kurama take it away, thus it was resting between Kurama's chest and Hiei's body.
"Comfortable?" Kurama asked after a little while.
"Yeah.." Hiei said softly with a yawn. "Hungy..."
"What?" Kurama looked at Hiei.
"Hungy." Hiei said again, looking up at him.
"Oh, hungry. You're hungry, ok." Kurama went into the kitchen and made him a bottle.
He took Hiei out of the carrier and cradled him, feeding him the contents. Hiei sucked it down happily, then yawned again.
"Why are you so tired lately?" Kurama asked.
"Donno..." Hiei yawned. "Rama...mind..."
"You want me to go into your mind?" Kurama asked.
"Uh-huh." Hiei nodded. Kurama went into his mind.
"What's up?" Kurama asked.
"Nothin, I just think you'd make a great dad." Hiei teased.
"Maybe I will someday, I've got the perfect mate already." Kurama said.
"...I'd be a terrible parent..." Hiei said softly.
"I don't think you would." Kurama said.
"Why not?" Hiei asked.
"Because underneath it all, you really do care." Kurama said.
"Oh..." Hiei said softly. Kurama pulled out of his mind.
"Alright. Go to sleep." He tucked Hiei back into the carrier and patted his bum until he fell back asleep. Then he lay back on the couch to watch TV.

This really is my shortest chapter ever, but it's really just a filler before the 3 month time skip in the next chap.
Sorry I'm not replying to reviews these last two chapters. Everythings a little crazy in my life right now...
