A/N: This chapter is dedicated specifically to Monster From Hell because they took the time to PM me and ask what was taking so long, so this is kind ofme trying to apologize for taking so long.
Hiei wasn't happy. Not at all. His relaxed demenor had faded to absolute nothingness in light of this. And he blamed Kurama solely.
Hiei did not need a babysitter anymore. As far as he was concerned, he was perfectly fine. He'd always been fine without someone up his ass every three seconds. (Both figuratively and litterally, seeing as Kurama's labido was more than he anticipated.) He grunted and started climbing a tree in the park when Yusuke suddenly pulled him right out of the fucking thing. He turned his best glare to the boy, but it did nothing. Ever since they found out he had a nicer side to him - the same one that was saving their lives at the moment - they treated him as they pleased. He felt a serious decrease in respect, and became very frustrated by it very quickly. They acted like he couldn't take care of himself. That fucking invention of Koenma's would have to be shattered.
"Let go of me, Yurameshi." He snapped. Yusuke smiled.
"Kurama's calling for you." Yusuke said.
"Let. Go. Of. Me." He snapped, his teeth showing in a dangerous looking way.
"Are you PMSing or something?" Yusuke asked, depositing him on the ground.
"Go fuck yourself." He snapped. Keiko's eyes welled up.
"Why can't you be nice?" She asked. Hiei glared at her before stomping off toward his mate.
"You alright, Hiei?" Kurama asked, pulling the smaller male into his lap.
"Do I look alright?" He snapped.
"Hiei..I think it's time you took a pregnancy test. You've been displaying symptoms." Kurama said slowly.
"Such as?" Hiei asked.
"Well, for one, your mood. You've also been peeing a lot. And you never used to eat this much." Kurama said, placing a hand on Hiei's tummy. "Your muscles are losing definition too."
"Don't pick me apart like that." Hiei practically whined. Kurama raised a brow.
"Now?" He suggested. Hiei glared.
"Did it ever occur to you that you guys are just irritating me?" Hiei asked harshly. Kurana sighed.
"Yes, it did. But I want to explore all posibilities first." Kurama said.
"Fine." Hiei said. Kurama got up, pulling Hiei up with him and leading him back to the house.
"I'll send for someone." Kurama said. Hiei sighed and curled up on the couch. "Tired?"
"What of it?" He snapped. Kurama sighed and called for a demon doctor. Not long after a man showed up and went straight to Hiei. "What?"
"Can you lay on your back? Please?" He asked. Hiei sighed and rolled over. The doctor pulled up his shirt gently, paying no mind to the soft growl the tiny demon emitted. He felt the boys stomach gently then nodded. "Definately pregnant."
"I thought so." Kurama said.
"Any temper problems?" He asked. Hiei nodded before Kurama could answer.
"I'm pissed off all the time." Hiei snapped. The doctor smiled.
"Common side effect. There's one thing we've found that really helps." He said.
"What's that?" Kurama asked.
"Hot chocolate. Three cups a day. It never fails. Just give him a cup. I can almost guarentee he'll calm down as soon as he drinks it." The doctor said.
Hiei laughed softly at this. Kurama breathed a sigh of relief at his mates soft chuckle.
"I'll get right on that." He said, kissing the dark haired boy's forhead.
"Thanks.." He mumbled. The doctor sat down in the chair near the couch.
"So do you know anything at all about your type of pregnancy?" The doctor asked.
"No." Hiei admitted.
"Well, you'll have twins, no questions asked. The gestation period is about eleven months, as opposed to a humans which is about two months longer than a humans." He said. Hiei stared at him. "I'd say yo're about one or two months in, so about nine or ten months from now you should go into labor."
"How bad is it gonna be?" He asked seriously. The doctor sighed.
"It will be some of the most intense pain you've ever felt." He said. "The reason your gestation period is so long is because your body needs to prepare to open a birthing canal which will take about two weeks to fully close after you give birth."
Hiei stared down at his stomach in horror.
"What do I do while it's closing?" Hiei asked.
"Bedrest. And the same with about a month before you're due. I'm not sure of the conception date just yet." The doctor said. Hiei squirmed uncomfortably and tugged at his shirt. He suddenly felt an intense urge to cry.
"Rama.." He called out nervously. Kurama came back with a cup of cocoa and handed it to Hiei. The smaller boy sipped at it silently, waiting for the doctor to leave.
"Is there anything else we need to know?" Hiei asked.
"Just that I'll come back in a month." The doctor said. Hiei grunted.
"If that's all could you leave?" Hiei snapped. The doctor smiled patiently.
"Of course." He got up and left. Hiei climbed into Kurama's lap with tear-filled eyes.
"I'm scared." He admitted.
"You'll be fine. Promise." Kurama kissed him. Hiei looked up at him and sighed.
"Maybe it's time to talk to Yukina.." Hiei mumbled.
"Yeah? Maybe it is." Kurama said, smiling.
