Hiei sat on the counter watching Ren intently as she slept, her small body was curled up in a tight ball to keep her warm. He didn't really like little human kids, let alone demon spawn, but looking down at the small sleeping youko, he felt his heart soften just alittle. She kinda reminded Hiei of himself when he was a child...but differently. She had no parents...possibly know family...atleast he had Yukina....Hiei looked down at Ren with warm eyes as she snored softly in her sleep.

Kurama watched as Hiei stared down at a sleeping Ren silently. '...she needs to be back in the bedroom.' Youko murmured..well more like growled some in Kuramas mind, Kurama could imagine the fox's tail twitching in aggitation. Kurama finished his soup and then collected the dishes from the table and rinsed them in the sink before he turned and picked Ren up gently craddling her to him softly. Hiei watched everything silently and followed the foxes as Kurama walked upstairs and back to his room, "Hiei what are you doing?" Kurama asked when he closed his door and Hiei was still right behind him. Hiei looked up at the red head before turning and sitting on the window sill and looking out the window, Kurama just sighed before Youko took his place.

Youko placed the small kit on the bed before making a small nest for her and adding some of the grass that Hiei had brought with him from the Makai. Hiei watched Youko silently but his gaze kept straying to the small kit, she rolled over onto her back her small belly upwards her small hands almost perched up in the air some. Hiei stiffled a chuckle but noticed Youko look up sharply at him before returning to what he was doing. Youko continued on her nest silently before he found it suitable to his liking, he wasn't very fond of another male being so close to his young as he now considered Ren.

Rens' fluffy tail curled up between her legs ar she laid there snorring softly before her small face scrunched up some and she started to whimper, then her small arms started to reach out. "mmmm.." she whimpered as though she wanted to say something, Youko reached down and picked her up gently, cradling her to him and making a soft purr. Ren whimpered and burried herself closer to Youko, Youko could guess she was having a nightmare about when her mother had been murdered. Youko started to nuzzle her hair softly and rocked Ren gently back and forth trying to soothe her from her nightmare, she calmed downn some after a few minutes.

Hiei stepped down from the window sill and stepped closer to Youko and Ren quietly, which casued Youko to growl some, Hiei stayed passive and held his hands out for the child. Youko snarled some but carefully watched as he handed the kit over to Hiei; Hiei craddled Ren closely to him, she was small and fragile in his arms. His body was much warmer than Youko's and Ren must've noticed becasue she curled up closer to Hiei and burrowed her nose into his chest. Youko smiled softly, she must think that the warm is from her mother...he stayed quiet watching Hiei before randomly growing plants to help out with anything Ren would need.

Hiei walked back to the window and sat down, settling Ren in his lap against his chest. She curled into the warmth, that Hiei's fire demon heritage allowed him, and made small cooing and snoring sounds as Hiei watched her some before looking outside again, petting her soft silver ears getntly.
