9 Months of Maternity
Chapter 6- The White's Day News
"Have you heard?" a bon of blue fire was in the center of the scene, five women were surrounding it. The place was cold, and dark. The wind blew the pale fire making it even stronger. The women were all dressed in Kimono's, they were all elders, but one. She was the youngest among the five, she was kept prisoner inside a tower for three years, because of a crime she said she had committed. Even if she was the youngest, she among all five of them had the gentlest heart. Her name is Rui.
"Yes, it's been a month now…" An elder said her arms were wrapped around behind her back; she was looking at the blue fire.
"The Forbidden one is carrying a child! We should dispose of it once and for all!" Another elder said, angry with the subject of the matter.
"It will give shame to our village; we have to kill it before it can even be born. We are not to make the same mistake as we did to the Forbidden one. We cannot allow it, no matter what!" Another elder said full of hate.
"What is worst here, that it is a mixture of that Youko's. If this child will be born, it would have the blood of the fire demon, Youko's, and the Koorime clan. We cannot afford the blood of the ice clan to be mixed with any other blood, the fire demon was the first, and it would be the last." Another elder protested.
The scene was still cold and dark. Rui, the youngest among all the elders didn't speak a word. She remained quiet as she listened to what the elders are planning to do to Hiei and the child he was carrying. She kept silent, looking at the ground.
"Even so, the forbidden one inherited his inner organs from the Koorime maidens; his child might have the Koorime features, like his sister Yukina. We still cannot determine what to do exactly, if it were a boy we must kill it, but if it were a girl we can still spare it that is if she has the Koorime features." The first elder said, thinking about the whole situation carefully.
"Still, it may be a girl, but what if she didn't have the Koorime features? She can be just like the forbidden one, and the Youko. We cannot have such insult in our village. I will not allow it." Another one protested.
"You are correct with that statement, and then we shall make a plan for that not to happen…" Another elder sounded she was up to something no good.
The subject matter caught the attention of Rui, she needed to know what the elder was up to, and she spoke "What do you mean?" She questioned.
"The Forbidden one, he is only in maternity for a month now, we can still change the results when the child is born." An elder stopped.
The scene was growing intense, the pale fire was stronger, the breeze of the wind made it even bigger. The subject matter suited the background very well. Still it was cold, and it was dark. Ice cold filled the room.
"In a matter of three or four more months we can determine the gender of the child. All we need is time. When we find out that the child is a girl all we need to do is stealing the unborn child of the Forbidden one and let it grow in another ice maiden's womb, there the child will inherit all the Koorime features, making the blood of the Youko and Hiei slowly disappear." The first elder explained.
"No…" Rui whispered.
"Yes, that is a good plan. However, wouldn't it be better to steal it now, so that the growth if the child will be more of the Koorime like? I mean, why wait for another three or four months when we can get it now, there is a bigger chance of it being a Koorime child, and it is sure to be a girl." Another elder voiced out.
"But, we don't have enough strength to have the transfer, the child is only a fetus at the moment, it will die if we transfer it to another womb, or worst even if it will die it still carries a large amount of spirit energy from the Forbidden one and use it against us, we can all be destroyed." The second elder said, explaining.
"She is correct, another is if we transfer it when it is five to six months old now, Hiei is all worn out by the stress of carrying a baby. His spirit energy is dropping now, yes, that is correct, but when it grows bigger it sucks up more and more giving him nothing left for himself, so even if we transfer it. He cannot try protecting it from the within giving it shield as protection, because he doesn't have much energy to do so." Another one explained.
"Hmm…you've got the point there. But while waiting for three to four months, we cannot just leave them be, we cannot allow the Youko to be too close to the Forbidden one for it may just increase the spirit energy of the child." The fourth elder said.
"I've already sent a demon to take care of the job; the Forbidden one will be here with his child anytime in this week. He will be locked strictly under the watchful eyes of the demon guards in the highest tower dungeon. No one is allowed to visit him, but the four of us." The first elder explained.
"Four of you? Why am I not allowed seeing the boy?" Ruiz asked weakly.
"Rui, we know how you can be with him, three years ago, you freed the Youko to be able to get back, now that they are united they bring more shame to this village. That would have never happened if you didn't free the Youko. You have done enough Rui, but I am sorry but you can never see the boy again, and that is a strict order. If you break the rules one last time Rui, you have to be exiled." The second elder said.
"You cannot do this! You already caused him enough pain over the past years ever since he was born, the only time he can be happy is when he is with his loved one and their child and why do you keep on insisting for you people to go and change that! After three years ago, they never did anything to avenge themselves. You people are just plain witches, who want to take lives of people they dislike, even if they didn't do anything to hurt you. I don't see why you have to be all angry at him!" Rui yelled at them, she was crying blue tear gems, each one falling in the ground.
"Rui, nothing will change what we will say, that is the final decision." The first elder said.
"You still can't do this! I will stop you no matter what! Just---" Another elder hit the behind of the neck of Rui causing her pain and drifting to a long sleep, she fell on the ground with all of her Tear gems scattered on the ground.
"Stop us? I don't think so…" The elder who hit her said looking down at Rui with a smirk.
"Bring her to her room, and make sure to lock it." The first elder commanded the Koorime guards.
The Guards were bringing her back to the tower in her room and keeping her there. They locked the room as they were told.
"For now, all we need to do is waiting, until the boy arrives."
"Don't you think one demon will be enough to stand up against the Forbidden one and Youko?"
"One is enough, I set traps for them as well, and don't worry things will go as planned."

"Hiei I'm home!" Kurama opened the door to his home. He just came home from work. He brought a plastic bag with things inside. The whole house was dark, it only meant Hiei was asleep the whole day again, and still he was asleep in their room, waiting for Kurama. It has been a month now that Hiei is pregnant, and more and more did the child eats up most of the energy of Hiei.
'Hmm…sleeping again, I guess he is inside our room.'
Kurama opened all the lights in the house. After, he went to their room opening the door gently. The room was dark, Kurama couldn't see Hiei if he was on the bed asleep or not. He opened the light. As he opened the light, he saw Hiei asleep on the bed, like always. When Kurama opened the light it irritated Hiei, it awakened Hiei slightly.
"Err…close the darn light." Hiei turned to his right trying to cover his eyes.
Kurama laughed a bit, he approached the sleeping demon. In addition, kissed him slightly on the lips waking him up. "Rise and shine baby, I'm home." Kurama said.
Hiei didn't want to wake up yet, even if he was. His eyes were closed tight. "I don't want to yet." He went against it.
"Myves, you have to wake up now, I told you sleeping isn't the only resort to boost your energy up." Kurama said brushing the raven hair of Hiei.
"Hmph." Hiei smirked pretending he was asleep.
"How's our growing baby? Did you give your Tousan a hard day today, that's why he is all worn off?" Kurama talked to the baby inside Hiei's womb, and kissed the growing abdomen of Hiei.
It always tickled Hiei whenever Kurama kissed his abdomen, but this time he tried to stop the feeling of being tickled and pretended to be still asleep.
"Come' on Myves, I have a surprise for you." Kurama smiled, it made Hiei always wake up whenever Kurama had something to give him.
Hiei's eyes opened gently. "What is it?"
"I'll give it to you after dinner." Kurama teased.
Hiei stood up making a big yawn "You're hopeless. You just want me to get to up."
"No koi, I really do have something to give you." Kurama said.
Hiei raised an eyebrow. "Lets eat then. I'm hungry as well." Hiei said.
"Okay, I bought take out so that I don't need to cook, I knew that you would have been hungry once I got home, so I decided to buy take out so that I don't need to cook anymore." Kurama smiled.
"Hn, I like your cooking better. And Kurama, when you kissed my abdomen, it tickled if you must know." Hiei didn't look at Kurama straight in the eye.
"Thank you Hiei, I'm flattered." Kurama smiled.
Both of them went to the kitchen setting up the table. Kurama took out the contents inside the plastic bag earlier, inside were foods inside a plastic topper wear, besides that Kurama took out a white wrapped box, it was thin. Kurama set the white box aside for a while.
"Hiei, can you please hand me the serving spoon please?" Kurama asked.
Hiei gave him a serving spoon, as he went to give it to Kurama the white box caught his attention.
"Kurama, what is that white box for?" Hiei wondered.
"Oh that's my surprise for you Hiei. Thank you." Kurama received the spoon from Hiei. Hiei was still curious about it.
"Can I open it?" Hiei asked.
"Hmm…I think that you should open it a bit later, I don't want to put it in the laundry right away after eating." Kurama gave a hint of what it could be.
"Laundry?" Hiei pondered.
"Yeah, okay just don't think too much about it, you will open it later so don't be too curious, now lets eat." Kurama invited Hiei to sit down and eat the dinner. Their dinner was pesto pasta, thousand-island salad, and chicken soup, their desert was ice cream because that was what Hiei wanted the most.
"Looks delicious don't you think?" Kurama asked Hiei.
"Hn, I still prefer your cooking." Hiei said.
Kurama smiled.
They ate their dinner; Hiei was still thinking about the white wrapped gift Kurama got for him, he was making guesses in his mind what the box may contain.
"Do you like the food?" Kurama asked Hiei, he just finished finishing all the pasta, and was going to get the ice cream in the freezer.
"Yeah, I guess it was alright." Kurama stood before Hiei could even stand from his seat, getting the ice cream for Hiei.
"What would you want Hiei, Chocolate or Vanilla?" Kurama asked, getting two tumblers of the ice cream.
"Sweet snow." Hiei replied. That only meant Vanilla; it looked like snow only sweet that's why he called it sweet snow.
"Okay, good choice it suites the holiday too." Kurama brought the Chocolate back to the freezer, and getting two bowls from the cupboard.
"Holiday?" Hiei questioned.
"You don't know what holiday it is today?" Kurama asked serving the ice cream.
"No, what is so special about today?." Hiei answered taking the bowl of sweet snow and eating it.
"Today is White's Day, if you know when Valentines Day is, well White's Day comes a month after Valentines Day." Kurama explained sitting down and eating his ice cream.
"What's the difference?" Hiei asked.
"Err…well White's Day, you can get it from its name White so you kind of celebrate it in a way of giving people you love white gifts it falls on the 14th of March. While in Valentines Day we celebrate a day with our loved once, it is on the 14th of February." Kurama explained.
"So is that surprise of yours a White's Day gift?" Hiei asked finishing his first bowl moving to the next.
"Yes." Kurama said.
"Why don't you tell me any of these occasions existed, I could have given you something, like Valentines Day. Give me more." Hiei gave his bowl to Kurama asking for more sweet snow.
"Well, I don't want to trouble you, especially with you carrying out baby. So I would be glad to be the one to give you the gifts, you already gave me one, I told you that." Kurama gave Hiei another scoop of ice cream.
"Hn, baka-kitsune." Hiei ate his sweet snow.
After Hiei ate the fourth bowl, Kurama figured he was already full so he gave his White's Day gift to Hiei.
"Here, you can open it now. Happy White's Day." Kurama greeted handing his the box.
"Thank you." Hiei answered looking at Kurama. He opened it not wanting to ruin the wrapper, when he opens it, it was a scarf.
"A scarf?" Hiei wondered why Kurama would give him a scarf they were near summer and he gave him a scarf, far from the cold season in three more months.
"Well, I had this strange feeling that you would need one soon so I got that for you. Do you like it?" Kurama asked. The scarf was alternated colors of white, red, and black. It was a simple design, but it kept him warm.
"Yes, I like it. Thank you very much." Hiei turn to Kurama and smiled at him.
"Anything for you Myves." Kurama smiled, he was going to get all the dishes back when Hiei pulled him down and kissed him.
"Love you." Kurama whispered after they kissed.
Hiei smiled at him.
"Let me do the dishes first and let's continue it after." Kurama said.
"Sounds good to me."
Kurama kissed Hiei's cheek and then stood up. "Love you."
"Me too."
Kurama was heading his way to the sink to wash the dishes.
"Ah, wait Kurama."
"Yes, Myves."
"Hey you don't need to do the laundry, I didn't mess it up."
"Yeah I know, I somewhat thought of that." Kurama returned to washing the dishes.
"Ah wait, Kurama."
"Yes, Myves?"
"Happy White's Day, fox."

BDT: Well I finally updated, after a long week without updating. I hope that I amused you people with what the elder Koorime will do to Hiei, well I just remembered a scene from YYH (where Hiei was badly hurt and he was inside this giant aquarium where Mukuro nursed him) well that sort of gave me the idea. If you ask me why, I have no idea, it just popped like "poof!" Hahaha. Well that is how I get my ideas, in weird places (I know right?). Okay, Reviews please? Include the grammar and the spelling please?
Oh yeah, I use too much of common words don't you think? I mean the terms I use should be more not common…gets? I don't have dictionary meaning words, that how I say it. Well I am somewhat lazy to change some words, so please mind the grade 4 words that I use…hey! Check my profile to know my age, I should be using deeper words right?
I really meant transfer the child from Hiei to another womb, not steal it...do you get me?
