�You�re... huh?�

�Pregnant! You heard me the first time, damn fox!�

�I know what I think I heard, but I didn�t think it was possible when I heard it.� Kurama�s eyes were so wide it looked as though they ought to have fallen out of his head and gone rolling around on the floor like great malachite marbles. Hiei�s eyes were narrow and getting narrower by the second. They were also getting suspiciously red and moist-looking.

�So... how...? A Koorime thing?� Kurama answered himself in confusion. Hiei nodded, screwing up his face and gritting his teeth furiously.

�Stupid...!� He hissed, hot tears sliding down his cheeks. �I went to Yukina for this! I didn�t know� and now she knows I�m part Koorime... and apart from that�� He broke off with a choking sound. �Fox...�

Kurama�s eyes returned to their normal size and he immediately enveloped the smaller demon in a tight embrace. �Hiei... Hiei, it�s all right� it doesn�t matter. Just think with me.� He soothed. �What do you want to do?�

�I don�t know!� Hiei hissed into his neck. He was silent for a few moments. �I don�t want to throw them away.� He whispered finally. Kurama smiled into Hiei�s hair. No, the half-breed could never do something like that to children, whether he wanted them or not. Not after what he had been through. Kurama cuddled the smaller demon gently.

�Well, then, what�s the matter?�

Hiei was silent. Kurama sighed.

�Did you think I would be upset?�

Hiei remained silent. Kurama smiled slightly. �It�s all right, you know. I love children.� Hiei shifted slightly in his arms. Kurama tilted his head to rest it upon the half-breed�s.

�Hiei, what part of �I�ll stay with you forever, if you�ll have me� didn�t you understand?� He teased lightly. Hiei�s fists clenched in the dark green material of his shirt and Kurama found himself the recipient of the hungriest kiss the fire demon had yet dispensed. Kurama�s hand found its way to the back of Hiei�s neck and he played with the fire demon�s hair until Hiei pulled back and glared at him.

It was a rather watery glare. Kurama couldn�t have that.

�So, have you figured out how you�re going to tell Kuwabara that you�re having a baby? Two, even?�

The glare intensified. Kurama smirked. Better.
