The Chosen One
(Amy) I'm back with another chapter redone. My god I'm half way done now, Yay me!
(Hiei) Hn, it just means you need to work harder at your job.
(Kurama) Hiei, be nice she is working hard on this. She sometimes does this over her own homework which should come first.
(Amy) I don't own Yu *Yu* Hakusho, and now onto the chapter.
Chapter Three: Next Generation Dark Tournament
It has been a year since Karen had been born, Hiei is at least two months pregnant again. We both say that this is the last child for at least a hundred years or so. Hiei treats Karen as if he is her world. Although, he likes his night by my side, he can't deny our child anything and in truth, neither can I.
I just got home from a meeting in town. I hate leaving for those damn meetings, but they know that soon my lover will need me home twenty-four hours a day, as he nears the point of drawing in demons that I will need to fend off. That is the only part that truly sucks when Hiei is pregnant demons want to kill him.
"Hiei," I say waiting for him to respond so I don't have to go looking throughout the entire house for him because he might not even be inside.
"Karen's room" speaks Hiei, my ears picking up his words easily. I see, he must be entertaining her in some way or watching her sleep. His two favorite past times now. Even though he is pregnant but now, we don't have to worry about him losing too much energy because the plants feed him when I am not around to do so.
I walk up the stairs and to the door of Karen's room, and I find Hiei sitting in the rocking chair walking her play with the baby toys are surround her. I walk up to Hiei and lean down to kiss him his neck, his chin, then his neck. God I have missed him, and I was only gone for only two hours. Hiei opens his mouth letting me slip my tongue in and making the kiss deeper. He breaks the kiss in order to breath and I stand up straight and turn around and move to the side so he and I can watch Karen together. I sit down and start to play with her, hoping to tire her out so she can take her afternoon nap without too many problems getting in the way. Once she is put down to sleep, Hiei, and I move downstairs, I go into the kitchen to start dinner while Hiei moves to the living room to rest for a few minutes.
Knock, Knock, Knock
"I'll get it," I say moving around in the kitchen until I walk out into the hallway and down to the front door. I open the door to come face to face with Yusuke and Keiko. I know why they are here. Since we are not allowed to fight in the Dark Tournament anymore, Yusuke wants us to train our children to fight in it. Of course, I'm not saying anything good or bad about the idea. I know our kids could win that damn thing if they wanted to with the y way we could train them. Since Our Team has to show up again and we are not allowed to fight, our children will have too.
"About time you answered the door" Yusuke snaps out smiling with Puu sitting onto of his head.
"Oh yes, Yusuke had to wait forever for you to answer the door. He just wants to discuss what is coming up and go home to rest for the rest of the day even though I'm the one that should be resting" speaks Keiko rolling her eyes.
"Yes, I agree with you there Keiko, please come in" I say turning and leading the way into the living room.
"I hope we didn't disturb you guys too much" speaks Yusuke using the manners he learned from the Makai.
"No, Kurama was about to cook dinner" remarks Hiei from his spot on the couch.
"Yes, well you two should know why we are here. We need five fighters and since we are not allowed to fight and only our children can fight. We may have a small problem" speaks Yusuke rubbing his temple. "I hate that the damn committee has to involve our children instead of making us just fight again."
"True that would be better, but what can we do," sighs Keiko shaking her head.
"Let's see Keiko and I are going to have a child, so that is one, Shizuru told us yesterday that she is going to have a kid as well" speaks Yusuke thinking about it.
"Botan and Koenma are expecting so that makes three," sighs Keiko.
"I hate to admit it but Yukina is pregnant, so that makes four children, plus there is Karen who makes five," grumbles Hiei looking away from everyone.
"We need at least one more because Botan and Koenma's might not fight or maybe they will require six fighters instead of five like the last time we fought together. So the one Hiei is carrying and be the sixth," I state even though I don't truly wish for either of my children to fight in this damn tournament coming up.
Hiei and I both look up to the stairs at the same time as a cry breaks out. "Go feed her and I'll get our dinner started. Since we have everything figured out for now, we'll talk to you guys later," I say ushering them out the door as Hiei climbs the stairs to take care of Karen. I know that we both don't want either of our children fighting in this tournament it almost killed us all.
Once I got dinner started and knew it wouldn't burn if I was away for a few minutes I go up the stairs to watch Karen and Hiei for a little while. I can see Hiei won't last much longer than Karen will. She'll fall asleep and then he will. I'll have to wake him up when the food is done being cooked. I smile as he moves to place her in her crib after she fell asleep. I help Hiei to our room and help him into bed, so that he can sleep for a while.
I kiss him on the forehead and head down stairs and into the kitchen to think while I cook our dinner. I love Hiei and we both love Karen to death. If anything were to happen, I don't know what we would do about it! It would break something inside of Hiei, I can be sure of that. She is the symbol of our love and so will her baby sibling once the baby comes into the world. If what I believe to be true, our family will be in danger until the woman who is after our Karen to turn her evil is dead. Perhaps the tournament will present a way to killing this evil before it has a chance to corrupt our precious child. Whoever wants her dead will continue to send demons out to attack us, and we will kill them all and protect her.
Flashback:
"'There is a girl who will be born in the Ningenkai, born from the demon imeko, the Forbidden Child. She could destroy the three worlds or protect them. Her powers will rival that of a demon super s class from birth. She shall protect her younger siblings her parent have, and they shall be called the Chosen Family, and she shall be called the Chosen One.'"
End Flashback:
I look out the window and up to the stars. I pray to the stars to protect our family from harm. After finishing dinner, I eat my full and make a plate for Hiei. I bring the plate upstairs and wake him up. I watch him eat before we both get ready for bed. I slip into bed next to him, and we both fall asleep in each ' arms dreaming about the future.
(Amy) All right, done with that one, at this one was only a few pages long.
(Hiei) You are just a lazy authoress.
(Kurama) I think she is doing much better this time around. I mean the original one was only about three pages long, and now look at it a little over four pages long.
(Amy) Shut up! I don't like working this hard. Review, and later!
