"Hiei, how many notches do you have in your bedpost?" Naomi asked looking straight out the window, watching the morning sun and she traced circles on Hiei's pecs.

"Not that many, maybe a few. Why?" he asked her. Since that night they had slept together many times, and until now she had never asked about it. They had formed a relationship, a weird one at that. They acted mainly the same, except for the sex.

"I'm not one of them right? Like I mean something don't I?" she asked as she sat up in their bed pulling the sheets to her chest and grasping them lightly.

"You do" he stated as he climbed out of bed to get ready for the day. He got dressed.

She lay back down, "Just wondering,..." she paused. "Come lay back with me." she insisted.

He smirked "Someone has to make breakfast and start the day."

She sat up and walked over to him, the sheets still wrapped around her body "I suppose that means I shou-" she stopped talking as her nose scrunched.

"What?" he asked as he pulled on his cloak.

"Nothing,..I just feel this weird pain by my belly button" she said as she rubbed it slightly as an attempt to alleviate the pain.

"Is it that bad?" Hiei asked concerned.

"No its just,...minor." she said as she got dressed in her own sweats and hoodie.

She lay on the couch for the rest of the morning while Hiei made breakfast. He walked out and held her breakfast out to her, as she had become accustomed to with the kitchen table now broken. Her vision was trippy, rotating around and moving. "I'm not very hungry,..." she said as she curled herself back into the ball she had previously laid in.

"Are you alright?" he asked her as he lay it on the coffee table in front of her.

"Yeah I think I just ate something bad" she said as she curled her arm around her stomach, pain was starting to radiate further down the right side of her stomach. She usually knew her body quite well, and Hiei trusted her. He finished his breakfast of french toast and went to the kitchen to wash it.

Using this time wisely, Naomi closed her eyes and fell back to sleep, but it wasn't long before the pain woke her. She wasn't sure how to react, it was pulsing, throbbing pain now. She rolled over into another position to lessen the impact. She was probably just overreacting right? It was probably just indigestion, or maybe even gas.

Naomi shut her eyes tightly, trying to block out the pain, but no relief came. She wanted to sob, it was getting worse and worse and it was throbbing. It didn't feel like labor, but what if she was wrong she thought to herself. What if her baby dies? She was after all only 6 months pregnant. She opened her mouth in an attempt to call Hiei back to her, but no sound came from said mouth. Naomi was in too much pain to call for help. Or at least she was, until a whole new level of pain unleashed, giving her back her voice, she moaned out "HIEI!"

Hiei dropped the glass he had been washing and ran in to her "What? What is it?" he asked.

"Somethings wrong, somethings so wrong" she repeated. The sweat was coming down her face now, her fever was radiating out of control.

"Are you in labor?" he asked as he bent down to pick her up. "No,.no I don't think so,...maybe I don't know?" she cried out as he picked her up and she lurched forward in his arms "Oh god please put my down, I don't like this please no" she said.

"I have to pick you up." he insisted as he walked towards the door.

She was screaming now, holding onto her side so tightly her knuckles began to whiten "No,..no please put me down, your touch is killing me. Call an ambulance, I cant take this" she started going on in a manner Hiei didn't understand, her pain tolerance was usually so high. Something was dangerously wrong. With that request he set her down and flitted towards the phone as fast as he could. He dialed the digits of 911 and hung up instantly remembering Kurama telling him they will come even for a hang up, he didn't have time to waste with them.

He returned to the ball of life on the couch he used to call Naomi, she was crying and writhing in pain. Her face had gone red and she had a fever, she was sweating. He reached forward and grabbed her hand, holding it in his own. She squeezed the life from his hand until it turned purple, he could tell it was becoming unbearable.

"Damn those fucking humans" he said aloud, but quietly, more towards himself. How long does it take to get in an ambulance and go!GO!

He heard the approach of the sirens and picked her up again, despite her protest. "OH it hurts, don't bend me, stop moving me UGH" she shouted as her body twisted in circles to attempt to free herself from his arms.

The EMT's then took her from his arms and they piled into the ambulance together, "Hiei don't leave me" Naomi called after as their hands ripped from each others grasps.

"I'm going with her!" Hiei shouted

"No room, we've got to go now, we're taking her to mercy medical center" he said as the door was slammed in his face and they took off faster than they had come.

As Hiei was left dumbfounded, rain started to pour from the sky, along with clashes of thunder and lightning. The weather became so morose, it was almost as if it followed his mindset. Could he really loose her? He thought to himself.

His hair became wet, and his clothes stuck to his body. Tears outlining his face in a red pattern, "I love you" he finally said to the air. Hiei took off running after the ambulance, soaked to the brim and all. There was no way he could loose her now, not after she had just become his.

There were people all around her, everyone poking and prodding at her, and that annoying siren in the background. Her ride felt smooth as she lay on the table, but she knew they were speeding. She knew cars everywhere were pulling over, hoping that the injured in the ambulance wasn't dying. Was she dying? They had put an IV drip into her vein, and they were checking her vitals. She wondered how she would explain her demon blood to them, but that was the furthest worry from her mind.

Naomi could feel her eyes beginning to clothes, her body beginning to give under it all. It began to feel as if she were floating on air, on top of her body as her eyes finally did shut, and it all went black.
