Heroes Unite
Chapter 11 of 30
Forgiveness
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kurama leaned forward quickly and embraced his lover, trying to comfort him. Hiei returned the hug and leaned back, taking the fox with him. He didn’t care if Kurama wanted to lie down or not, he needed him to. The fire demon needed Kurama’s strong arms around him to calm him, anchor him in this sea of emotions, and reassure him that he hadn’t been wrong for being angry at their son.
The demons just held each other for awhile. Kurama didn’t even try to move, his mate would release him when he was ready. He could tell his fire demon was just as upset about the incident as their son had been. The fox finally felt the arms around him loosen and took the opportunity to slide to the side so his weight wasn’t directly on his smaller mate. He slowly looked up and met guilt filled red eyes.
“I’m so sorry, Kurama. I didn’t mean it, I was just so mad.” Hiei started quietly, keeping eye contact with his fox.
“I know all that, Koi.” Kurama ran a hand gently across his mate’s cheek. “But Toushi doesn’t. I think you need to talk to him.”
“I can’t, not right now! He had no right to say what he did and I’m still mad at him.”
“He’s just a child, Hiei. He didn’t really know what he was saying.”
“Hn!”
“He’s only seven years old, all boys his age thinks love stuff is gross. Toushi will come around, I can guarantee that.”
“Fine, but I’m still not ready to talk to him.” Hiei said, sounding almost like he was pouting.
“The sooner the better.” Kurama pressed the matter, trying his best to fix the problem.
“I know that, I’ll talk to him later. I’m going to make him wait awhile.” Hiei replied grumpily.
“Just not to long, Koi.” Kurama commented sadly.
“Why not?”
“Try to put yourself in Toushi’s place. His father, one of the only two people he looks up too, just basically told him to go off and die.”
“I was just trying to make a point, Kurama. When I was his age, I had to fight for everything, to live, to eat. Most demons have to go through this. I wanted him to realize just how lucky he truly was.”
“I know that too, and he may realize that now, but he’s still hurting as much as you are. Please talk to him soon.”
“Fine, I’ll talk to him soon.” Hiei promised, reaching up and running a finger across his mate’s lips. “Will you let me kiss you, though you’re mad at me?”
“Of course you can.” Kurama slowly smiled. “And for the record, I’m not mad at you. I didn’t like Toushi’s comment either.” He leaned in while his mate leaned in too. Hiei quickly claimed the fox’s lips possessively. They kissed for a few moments before slowly parting. “I’ll go check on our kits, you stay here and relax.” The fox said, quickly getting up from the bed.
“Hn.” Hiei grunted, watching his fox saunter out of the room for his benefit. When the door was closed, he stretched out on the bed trying to figure out how to talk to Toushi without losing his temper.
Kurama walked into the kit’s room and smiled. Kaihei was dressed and sitting on the big bed manipulating a small plant in his hand. He was about to ask about Toushi, but he heard the water running in the bathroom. The kit happened to look up and see his father standing a little ways from him.
“Daddy!” Kaihei jumped to his feet and ran over to the fox, throwing his small arms around his father’s waist. “Is papa still mad?”
“No, Kaihei, he’s not.” Kurama answered gently, slipping his arms around his son.
“Is Toushi going away? I don’t want him too!!”
“Toushi isn’t going anywhere. Your father was just upset with what your brother said. He didn’t mean what he said and feels very bad for saying it.”
“Toushi was still crying when he got in the shower.” Kaihei glanced to the bathroom door and then back to his father.
“He’ll feel better once he gets over being upset.” Kurama tried to reassure his son.
“Does papa wish that I was never born?” Kaihei asked, tears quickly filling his eyes.
“Of course not, Fire-bug.” Kurama cupped the boy’s face. “He loves you very much and he loves Toushi just as much. You and Toushi are the best things ever to happen to us, to him. Your father will never want to change that.”
“That’s right.” Came a deep, emotion filled, and familiar voice. The fox and kit turned to see Hiei standing in the room.
“Father?” Kaihei whispered, pulling away from the fox and approaching the fire demon cautiously.
Hiei frowned at the display and held open his arms. “Come here, kit.”
“Papa!!” Kaihei squealed, throwing himself at his father. Hiei caught his son easily and held him close. Kurama watched the two silently, knowing that was exactly what the boy needed to reassure him.
Hiei looked up from his kit to his fox and let a small smile grace his lips. “Kurama, will you take Kaihei downstairs for breakfast? Toushi and I will join you two in awhile.”
“I will, Koi.” Kurama said, walking over to his family. He took Kaihei from his mate and then sat the boy on his feet before taking hold of his small hand. As he walked passed his mate, towards the door, he whispered so their son couldn’t hear. “Be gentle.”
“Hn.” Hiei grunted his acknowledgement. He walked over and sat down on the bed, waiting for Toushi to emerge from the bathroom.
Kurama and Kaihei walked into the kitchen just in time to see Chi Chi and Videl get soaked by a shower of water. The kit immediately started giggling at the sight and the fox tried hard not to smile, but failed. The sight was just to funny. There was a bright flash of light, temporally blinding everyone in the room.
When Bulma got her sight back, she hurried over to the women at the sink. “What happened?”
“I don’t know!” Chi Chi answered, wiping water off her face.
“Yeah, I just turned on the water and we got soaked!” Videl quickly added. Bulma pulled out the spray attachment on the sink just as the two demons and other women joined them. She looked it over finding the problem easily. “Someone has taped the handle down so when the water comes on, it comes on.”
“It seems the prankster is stepping things up.” Kurama commented, watching the blue haired woman remove the tape from the handle. “I wonder what will happen next and who will be pranked.”
“There really isn’t no telling in this house.” Pan stated with a small shrug. “Or who it is. I had originally thought it to be the kids, but these pranks are too advanced even for them.”
Bra nodded in agreement. ”I thought it was the kids too.”
“Speaking of the kids, where are they?” Kurama asked, glancing down to his son.
“Oh, they’re upstairs in their game room. Kaihei, why don’t you go up and play with them.” Bulma tried to encourage.
“No ma’am.” Kaihei quietly and politely rejected the offer.
Kurama quickly knelt down in front of his son. “Why not?” He asked softly.
Kaihei looked to the ground, refusing to make eye contact and mumbled. “I don’t want to get in trouble again.”
“You won’t get into trouble, Kaihei.” Kurama tilted the boy’s head so they looked at each other. “You can go play.”
“No, I want to stay with you, daddy.” Kaihei said, very determined with his decision. The fox almost laughed, his son was so very much like Hiei, but that was expected.
“Fine, you can stay with me if you want too.” Kurama smiled, leaning forward and gently kissing his son’s covered jagan. He stood up and turned towards the ladies to see big smiles on their faces.
“You’re so good with him.” Videl almost cooed.
“Yes, you’re nothing like our mates.” Bulma laughed lightly. “Don’t get me wrong. They love their children, but you’re……”
“Very sensitive and gentle.” Pan finished for her mother-in-law.
“Thank you.” Kurama smiled with a slight blush from such an appraisal. “But in my former life I wasn’t like what I am now. My human mother changed me into what you see. Hiei and our kits helped as well.”
“Well, I for one think it’s great.” Chi Chi smiled. “Now, if you all will excuse me. I’m going to go get dry clothes on.”
“Me too.” Videl added, following the older woman from the kitchen.
“If you don’t mind, can I cook breakfast for my family again?” Kurama asked, looking over to the blue haired woman.
“Yes, but you don’t have too.” Bulma answered. “There’s plenty always cooked.”
“I know, I just like to cook. Plus today I have a little helper.” Kurama smiled, hugging his son to his side.
“So you do.” Bulma smiled too. “Go right ahead. You do remember where everything is?”
“Yes, I do.” Kurama nodded quickly.
“Have at it then.” Bulma laughed before going back to work on the big breakfast she and the other women had to prepare. Kurama started gathering up the items he needed with Kaihei’s help.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the kits’ room, Hiei was still waiting for Toushi to emerge from the bathroom. He was growing very impatient too. After a few more minutes of hearing the shower run, he had enough.
“Toushi, come out of that bathroom! I know you can feel my energy signal out here!” Hiei called, trying to control the anger in his voice.
The water turned off and a few seconds later the door slowly opened, revealing a very scared looking kit. Toushi walked forward with his eyes downcast in a show of submission. He came to a stop about a foot in front of his father. Hiei reached out to pull the kit closer, but the boy flinched away. Hiei frowned; he supposed he deserved that so he let his hand drop, for now.
“Toushi, look at me.” Hiei ordered as gentle as he could, keeping in mind what his fox had said.
Toushi slowly lifted his eyes to meet the fire demon’s “I’m sorry, father. I’ll …….leave …….if you want me too.” The boy was crying again by the time he was done speaking.
“That’s not what I want!” Hiei said, guilt flooding his emotions. He reached out quickly and pulled the boy into a tight hug whether he wanted it or not. “Even though you’re not my son, Toushi, I still think of you as my son and love you as if you are. I just got very angry at what you said.”
“I’m so sorry!” Toushi cried, clinging tightly to his father. “I don’t know why I said that.”
“You just said what was on your mind and that was the way you have been raised. We also raised you to believe that two males or two females in a relationship together are okay.”
“I know, but all I ever see is male and females together.”
“That is only here in Ningenkai. In the Makai and Reikai, it’s very different. You will mostly see males together or females together. When this current problem is over, your dad and I will take you and Kaihei to the Makai for a few weeks.”
“Really?” Toushi asked, quickly looking up at the fire demon.
“Yes, you two are old enough, plus you and Kaihei will be with us. It’s time for you boys to see your homeland.” Hiei smiled slightly. ”I believe that is exactly what you need.”
“So, I can stay with you and dad?”
“Hn, only if you can forgive me for being so harsh with you and if you promise to think next time before you say something about my relationship with your father.”
“I forgive you and I promise.” Toushi answered with a big smile.
“Good, because I forgive you. Now, let’s go get breakfast.” Hiei smirked, pushing gently on Toushi to get him on his feet. He didn’t even know when the child had gotten in his lap. The fire demon stood up when he was able too. He was walking towards the door when he felt a little hand slip into his. He looked down to see his son grinning up at him. Hiei gripped the boy’s hand as they left the room behind, heading for the stairs. They walked into the kitchen still holding hands. The fox and Kaihei looked up when they felt the familiar energies enter the room.
“How’s everything?” Kurama asked quickly.
“Everything is fine, fox.” Hiei let a small smile touch his lips before glancing down to Toushi. The kit grinned and nodded vigorously.
“I’m glad to hear that.” Kurama smiled as well. “Breakfast is almost ready.”
“Hn.” Hiei grunted, releasing his son’s hand. “I’m starved.”
“You sound like my mate Goku.” Chi Chi giggled behind her hand. “He’s always hungry.”
“That’s nothing! You should have been around him when he was pregnant with Kaihei. I couldn’t keep enough food cooked.” Kurama laughed, winking at his mate. Hiei blushed, but only enough for the fox to know it.
“So, are you two going to have more kids?” Pan asked, walking over to the demons.
“What does everyone always ask us that?” Hiei asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Well, for one you make beautiful children.” Bulma smiled.
“For two, you two are very good with those children.” Bra added, a smile on her face too.
“So, anymore children coming?” Pan pressed the matter.
“Yep, that’s what I would like to know.” Bulma said quickly. “I would love to deliver the baby.”
“We have talked about another child, Hiei and I, but probably not for awhile yet.” Kurama finally answered as he dished out breakfast for his family.
“Yes, we wanted to wait until our two kits are older.” Hiei added, motioning towards his two sons.
“Oh, how long do demons live?” Bra asked, dishing up the last of her food.
“You see that’s the thing.” Kurama smiled. “Demons live a very long time. No one knows for sure, but at least five thousand years. Now that is for full demons like Hiei, I am half demon though so I won’t live as long as that. I still however will live a lot longer then normal humans and I haven’t aged a bit since I turned eighteen.”
“Demons stop aging at a certain age?” Pan asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
“No, we don’t exactly stop aging. We just slow down an awful lot.” Hiei answered for his mate. “If there was anyway I could, I’d change my fox back into a full demon so he’d live as long as I, instead of the other way around.”
“Other way around?” Videl asked, not understanding what had been said.
“What Hiei means is when I die, he’ll die with me.” Kurama answered, sadness evident in his voice while he nervously glancing to his sons.
“And you won’t be able to stop me, fox.” Hiei stated with equal sadness in his voice.
“You two sound so sad about that.” Chi Chi observed. “Why do you both have to die?”
“Demons are known to kill themselves when their mates die. The pull to be together is too strong.” Kurama answered, it being almost a whisper. He hated talking about this subject, especially in front of the boys, but it was all true. With his human blood, he wouldn’t live as long as he should. Hiei and he had discussed the matter a couple of years back and came to a decision. They decided that they would die together if their kits were old enough to take care of themselves. If the kits weren’t old enough, the one left would live until the boys were and then take his life. That way, they could be together again in spirit world for all eternity.
