Well peoples, this is chapter 7 of My Father. I would have had this posted sooner, but I used Word-Pad and I needed to read over it for mistakes, and fix them. I'm sorry if most of you don't like Ginjiro. But…he IS Hiei's father. He'll be a bit better in this chapter, I promise. If you have any suggestions for what should happen in the next couple chapters, please, help me. I need some advice, running out of ideas. Thanks to anyone who has read this story and or reviewed it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Word-Pad (which is up there in the note, not in the chapter itself.).
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Ginjiro woke up, he was laying before a fire, wrapped in a thin blanket. He could smell some meat cooking over it. No sign of Hiei. He looked down at his chest and was shocked to see the wounds were wrapped up. Then he heard footsteps and he looked up.
-Hiei-
I walked back into the cave after washing the blood off my cloak. I looked to see my father sitting up and staring at me as I walked in. Then, I couldn't believe my ears when I heard a quiet.
"Thank you for saving me Hiei."
"Hn," I said, "Thank my mate for knowing so much about plants. A lot of the plants I used were ones he taught me about." It hurt me to talk about Kurama, I missed him so much, I really needed to get home to him.
"You have a mate?" Ginjiro looked surprised as he stood up, I just gave a quick nod.
"Do you believe me when I say I am your son now?" I asked going over and checking the rabbit. Almost done.
Ginjiro sighed behind me, "I don't know, really, I don't. You are like me in a lot of ways, you look like me, you say your mother was Hina, you even fight like me." Ginjiro sounded frustrated.
"Hn." I was amused, very amused. Then I remembered something Kurama had said to me when I had made my decision to leave.
If he turns out to be a nice person, I think it would be nice to finally get to meet him.
I sighed to myself, damn that fox, sometimes he never made the right decision. And my father wasn't exactly mean, I mean, he just thanked me, so by my terms, he's good enough for Kurama to meet.
"You're going home with me." I said and Ginjiro's eyes widened at me.
-Kurama-
The days just kept getting worse, I tried not to show it, I was sick now, and Hiei wasn't there to help me. And I don't mean morning sickness sick, I mean actually sick.
I hoped that Hiei had found his father, I really did, I needed him here at home with me. I was making an herbal tea mixture to take away most of the symptoms when there was a polite knock on the door and a cheery. "Kurama!" From Botan.
I sighed, not in the mood to have guests, but thanks to my mother, I was never willing to turn away from someone. I walked over and answered the door.
She was just about to say something to me when she stared in shock, I must have looked worse then I had thought.
"Kurama! You need to lie down!" She said rushing in and taking my arm, she pulled me into the living room and pushed me on the couch.
"Oh Botan, no, I'm fine, I was just making some herbal tea…." The kettle went off.
"You just stay there, I'll get it." She retrieved it for me and then told me she'd be right back and went outside.
Botan pulled out her communicator and pushed the button labeled 'Hiei' and waited for him to pick it up.
-Hiei-
"So, you're mated to a male fox, not a vixen?" My father asked me.
"Yes." I said quickly, "which means he can produce both ways, and he is pregnant." I didn't know if I should be telling him this or not, I mean…maybe he could use that to hurt Kurama? But I saw no ill intent in his mind.
I heard the ring of the communicator. I sighed angrily, flitting over I pulled it out of my pack and flipped it up.
"What do you want Baka Onna?" I asked.
"Hiei, you told me you found your father earlier, now get your butt back home! Kurama's very sick! He needs you!"
Now worry spiked into my system. "Let me talk to him." I said, ignoring Ginjiro who came and looked over my shoulder. I watched as Botan hurried in and handed Kurama the communicator.
I stared at my poor fox, he looked terrible. He also looked very tired. "Kurama…" I sighed sadly watching as he gave a weak smile. "Don't worry Hiei, I'll be fine, just a case of the flu is all."
"Fox, you go lay down on our bed and you will not move at all until I get back." I said firmly. Kurama just smiled. "Whatever you wish, Hiei." He stood and headed up the stairs.
"Did you find your father?" he asked me.
"Yes, you will meet him, but for now you must rest, we are on our way there, we had to
stop, he got some injuries that needed fixed, we should be there within the next couple of days."
Kurama nodded and relaxed after lying on the bed. "I love you Hiei, I will see you then."
"I love you too Fox." I said and then hung up and slipped the communicator back into my pocket.
I looked up at my father. "Ready to move?" I asked.
"Ready." He nodded.
