OMG, I just looked and it’s been almost a month since I updated. I don’t really have a good excuse. I pretty much knew what I wanted to write, I just didn’t feel like doing it. Well, I’ve been on vacation this week and this chapter is one of the many projects I planned to get done while I was off.
I’m such a wuss. I can’t believe that even knowing how this story will end, I still made myself cry writing this chapter. When you read Shiori’s part you’ll understand why (it must be the mom in me).
This chapter should wrap up all the side stories and leave just Hiei, Shuuichi and Yoko to finish up in the next chapter. The next chapter should be the end, unless I manage to drag it out even more (I doubt it though). Oh well, I hope you enjoy it and please leave a review. As I’ve said many times before, your wonderful reviews is why I write. Thank you all so much.
Chapter 17
Sitting in the window sill of their hotel room, Hiei watched Kurama dress. Every time he looked at one his foxes, Hiei couldn’t help but marvel at how incredible the last two months with them had been. “Do we really have to attend this circus Fox?”
Looking into the mirror Kurama smiled as he brushed out his red hair. “Yes Koi, we do. Yusuke and Koenma are two of our closest friends. We can’t miss their wedding. Besides, this is the event of the century. I don’t think we’ll ever see more Reikai gods and Makai lords in the same place at the same time. Not to mention the entertainment factor of watching them rub elbows with mere humans.”
Rolling his eyes, Hiei grunted. “Hn, like I care about any of that. Aren’t you even a little offended that the request was made that you not appear in your Youko form?”
Turning towards his lover, Kurama fastened a diamond dragon pendant around his throat. “Actually Hiei, I see it as a compliment that gods and demons alike fear for their jewels as well as their lovers enough to make such a request. Now enough stalling Koibito, it’s time for you to get dressed.”
With a sigh, Hiei hopped down from the window. Eyeing the dress uniform his lover had laid out for him, Hiei frowned. “Do I really have to wear that thing Kurama? I haven’t even been to Alaric in months. Mukuro can’t possibly still consider me a general in her army.”
Smiling, Kurama leaned down to run his fingers along the metals and ribbons decorating the elegant blue coat of Hiei’s dress uniform. “I’d say she most certainly does still consider you an officer in her army as well as her heir since she’s the one that brought your uniform.”
Stripping out of his clothes, Hiei smirked when Kurama leaned back against the window sill to admire the fire demon’s naked body. Wickedly, Hiei stroked his hand down his bare chest before trailing his fingers along his semi-hard length. “Like what you see Fox? All this can be yours for the taking. All you have to do is take your clothes off and join me on the bed for the evening instead of going to that stupid wedding.”
Licking his lips, Kurama’s eyes hungrily followed every stroke of Hiei’s fingers. “That’s a very tempting offer Dragon, but I’m afraid I have to decline or we’ll miss the wedding. I will however promise to strip you naked and have my way with you after the wedding. Now get dressed Hiei. I’m looking forward to showing off how handsome my lover will look in that fancy uniform.”
Turning away before he pounced Hiei and spent the night torturing him for being a tease, Kurama looked out the window. Trying to take his mind off the naked fire demon behind him, Kurama smiled and tried to appreciate the view. There was nothing but green grass, tall trees and colorful flowers for as far as the eye could see. “Botan couldn’t have chosen a more perfect site for this wedding. Yoko hasn’t been here in centuries, but he says it’s still one of the most beautiful places he’s ever seen. The hotel is just as luxurious as it was then too.”
Behind him Hiei grunted. “How in the hell did Yoko get invited to Cloud Nine? Only the most elite from Makai and Reikai are invited here. Wouldn’t they have been afraid Makai’s greatest thief would rob them blind?”
Turning back, Kurama saw that Hiei was just fastening his katana. There was a sparkle in Kurama’s green eyes as he smiled at Hiei. “Did I say he’d been invited? It wasn’t hard for Yoko to persuade a lover to sneak him in, just ask Koenma. As for robbing them blind, that’s why Yoko was asked not to make an appearance today.”
Raising an eyebrow, Hiei gave Kurama a mischievous smirk. “One whispered slip to Yusuke that his groom had a tryst with Yoko in the same place they’re planning to marry, and I could spend the evening right here in that bed with my fox.”
Glaring at Hiei, Kurama growled. “If that slip comes from you Hiei, you’ll be spending tonight, and several more nights ALONE in that bed.”
Sneering, Hiei grunted. “Hn, you never let me have any fun.”
Stepping in front of his lover, Kurama leaned over to purr in his ear. “Be a good little Dragon at the wedding Hiei, and you can have fun with me any way you want me when the wedding is over.”
Turning away, Kurama checked his reflection in the full length mirror. Brushing his hand across the soft fabric of the elegant purple tunic, embroidered in black, red and silver with dragons that matched his pendant, Kurama smiled in satisfaction. He then went to the door and held it open for his lover. “Shall we go Hiei?”
Reluctantly, Hiei allowed Kurama to usher him out of the room.
XXXXX
One of Cloud Nine’s largest and most beautiful gardens had been set up with chairs for the wedding. Holding Hiei’s hand, Kurama led them down the isle. In Kurama’s mind he could feel Yoko smirk as he recognized many of the gods seated on one side of the garden. Without hesitation Kurama turned toward the other side where there were even more familiar faces. These were not the faces of gods however, but the faces of the demons and humans that he had learned to call his friends and family.
Only brief greetings were exchanged as they took their before ethereal music began to play signaling the arrival of the wedding party. Everyone turned to see Kuwabara standing at the entrance of the garden. He was an impressive figure wearing a black tuxedo. After pausing to make sure he had everyone’s attention, Kuwabara turned and held out his arm to an as yet unseen person.
A moment later Botan, wearing an elegant blue gown appeared and took his arm. Together they walked down the isle, then waited under an arbor of lush green vines and colorful flowers. Beside him, Kurama heard Yukina whisper. “The flower arrangements are just beautiful Kurama.”
Quietly he smiled and whispered his thanks at her complement of his work. When the music made a subtle change, everyone stood. A moment later Koenma appeared at the entrance to the garden. Wearing the royal blue dress robes of a Reikai prince, Koenma seemed calm as he smiled and held out his hand for his groom.
Everyone waited expectantly until suddenly a brown head and big chocolate eyes peered around the garden gate nervously. As if he were afraid Yusuke would bolt, Koenma quickly reached for his lover causing those watching to chuckle. Reassured by Koenma’s warm smile and the confidant hand holding his, Yusuke drew a breath to calm himself before grinning at his lover.
When Kurama saw that Yusuke was wearing green, for one heartbeat he thought his friend was wearing his old school uniform. Now, as he walked down the isle beside Koenma, Kurama could see that, like Hiei, the Mazaku King was actually wearing a dress uniform as the leader of Tourin’s army.
Looking at his friends, Yusuke began to relax, that is until he saw one face in particular watching him. Koenma turned to see what had caused Yusuke to suddenly stop, only to see him and Keiko staring at each other. Yusuke’s heart pounded uncertainly until Keiko suddenly gave him a beautiful smile. Reaching out to caress her cheek, Yusuke grinned before turning back to Koenma. “Let’s get married Old Man.”
Beside Keiko, Atsuko was sobbing at how grown up her baby boy was. Yusuke just rolled his eyes and followed Koenma to where Kuwabara and Botan waited. With a big smile, Yusuke nudged his shoulder against his best man as he watched Koenma wink at his sister. It seemed only fitting that their best friends be the ones to stand up with them at their wedding.
Now that everyone was in position, and the onlookers had taken their seats, the person officiating their ceremony appeared before them. A few gasps were heard when Yusuke suddenly shouted. “GRANDMA!”
Before Genkai could respond Yusuke swept her up in big hug and swung her around. “Put me down you dimwit!”
Obeying her request, Yusuke set her down and turned to Koenma. “Grandma and Keiko? Is this your doing Old Man?”
Wide-eyed, Koenma shrugged. “Don’t look at me Koi.”
Looking passed his lover, Yusuke saw Botan’s happy smile. When he raised an eyebrow at her, Botan giggled. “Daddy and I wanted to give you a special wedding gift.”
Before Yusuke could comment, Genkai grumbled. “Finish this later you two. I want time for sake and wedding cake before I have to go back.”
Without further interruption Koenma and Yusuke stood before Genkai and took their vows. The party that followed would be remembered for a very long time as the party of the century. Yusuke sent Botan’s carefully made plans out the window by ordering that the champagne and wedding cake be brought out before dinner was served. Several champagne toasts later, Yusuke convinced Genkai to stay for the rest of the reception.
Later, when dinner was over, Kurama dutifully stood at Hiei’s side as he paid his respects to Mukuro. “So Hiei, how much longer are you going to be on sabbatical? My army is getting soft without you.”
Hiei grunted. “Hn. With all the damn peace in Makai you don’t even need an army.”
Mukuro smiled. “Hiei, a large part of that peace is the result of the strength of my army. The peace is being upheld because my army is working in conjunction with Yomi and Yusuke’s armies. Besides, peace doesn’t last forever Hiei, so I intend to maintain a powerful army, and I still need you as my heir.”
Ruby eyes widened a moment at the determination in her voice. Embarrassed, Hiei just grunted. “Hn.”
Seeing Enki trying to get her attention, Mukuro turned to leave, but turned back briefly to add. “Come home soon Hiei, and feel free to bring your fox with you.”
Hiei was grateful that the demoness had walked away and didn’t see his blush. Glancing at his lover, Hiei saw Kurama smile. “Guess we don’t have to worry about where to live when we move home.”
Hiei nodded but before he could reply, Yomi joined them. “Kurama my old friend, it’s been a while.”
When Hiei growled at the demon lord, Yomi had the audacity to laugh. “Hiei, you’re as pleasant as ever. Can I take it from that greeting that the Jagonshi is letting me know you’re off limits Kurama?”
Pleased with Hiei’s reaction, Kurama grinned. “Yes Yomi, I am most definitely off limits. Hiei and I have been together for several months now.”
Hiding his disappointment behind a pleasant smile, Yomi inclined his head. “Then Hiei’s a lucky man. Perhaps when he finally brings you home Kurama, we can discuss you retaking your position as my advisor.”
Knowing that Hiei’s scowl meant he wasn’t happy about that prospect, Kurama simply shrugged. “The best I can offer Yomi, is that I will discuss it with Hiei after we return home and are settled at Alaric.”
Understanding that Hiei would remain Mukuro’s heir and that it would create a conflict of interest, Yomi conceded. “I won’t hold my breath then. I hope you’ll at least visit an old friend when you’re back in Makai Kurama.”
Just as Yomi walked away Hiei’s head whipped around. “Yukina!”
Before Kurama could ask what was wrong, Hiei was gone. Rushing after his lover, Kurama found him at Yukina’s side feeding her ki. Kuwabara’s huge, terrified eyes told Kurama that Yukina’s baby would probably make an entrance today. Wanting to keep Hiei and Kuwabara calm, Kurama took control. “Yukina, if you’re alright, I’m going to have Kazuma and Hiei help you to your room while I go find Genkai.”
Giving him a grateful smile, Yukina nodded. “Thank you Kurama. With my husband and brother beside me I’m sure I’ll be fine.”
Seeing that they were taking his lead in tending to Yukina’s needs, Kurama scanned the room. It didn’t take him long to locate Genkai and quietly enlist her help. By the time they reached the Kuwabara’s suite, Yukina was in a nightgown settled comfortably on the bed. Seeing the men sitting on either side of her, Genkai scoffed. “Alright you idiots, out. I’ll let you know when you can come back.”
Before Hiei could growl his displeasure at the old psychics words, Kuwabara shouted. “I am not leaving my wife you old hag! Neither is Hiei! Yukina’s energy is low and she needs her brother to share his!”
Placing a hand on Genkai’s arm, Kurama interjected. “Kuwabara is right Master Genkai. He and Yukina have been taking child birth classes, and have been planning to have their baby together. He’s also right about Yukina needing Hiei’s ki right now.”
Rolling her eyes, Genkai grunted her acceptance. “Alright, they can stay. Yukina, do you want Kurama to stay too or should he get the girls to help me?”
Through all of this, Yukina had been calmly breathing through her contractions. “I don’t know if Kurama’s ever assisted in a delivery before, but I’m very confident in his abilities. Will you stay Kurama?”
Smiling at the little Koorime, Kurama nodded. “Of course Yukina. Actually, with Yoko’s memories I even have a little experience.”
With the delivery team decided, Yukina gave herself over to their loving and capable hands. Two and a half hours later Yukina sat in the circle of Kuwabara’s arms holding her daughter in in her arms. Satisfied that his sister no longer needed him, Hiei moved to Kurama’s side. Slipping his arm around Hiei, Kurama leaned down to whisper. “Your niece is beautiful Uncle Hiei.”
Hiei had trouble hiding his blush and his grin. Yukina looked up at him then. “Oh Hiei, I’m so happy. Could you and Kurama go get our friends? I’d like everyone to see her while we’re all together.”
Nodding, Hiei took Kurama’s hand and they left the room. The moment they entered the ballroom Yusuke descended on them. “Where the hell have you two been? It’s my damn wedding and most of my friends deserted me!”
Hearing Yusuke shouting, Koenma, Botan, Keiko, Shizuru and Atsuko joined him. Looking at them all, Kurama grinned. “I’m sorry Yusuke but we had something more important to take care of.”
Kurama’s grin grew as his friends looked at him in shock. “If you all can tear yourselves away from this fabulous party for a few minutes, Hiei would like to introduce you to his new niece.”
As shocked expressions quickly turned to smiles, Botan was the first to recover and squealed. “The baby’s here!”
Koenma put an arm around Yusuke. “I think we can forgive them for missing the reception Koi. Come on everyone, let’s go see the baby.”
Entering the suite ahead of the others, Hiei went to knock on the bedroom door. Peeking inside, Hiei opened the door at his sisters nod. No one complained when Shizuru pushed ahead and made her way to the bed. “Alright you two, quit hogging my niece and hand her over.”
With a laugh, Yukina passed the baby to Shizuru. With a rare smile, Shizuru looked at Yukina before turning to Kuwabara. “She’s beautiful Yukina. One good thing about asexual reproduction is that this little angel didn’t get stuck my brother’s orange hair.”
Everyone laughed as the baby was passed to Botan. “Oh Keiko look, she is an angel. What’s her name Yukina?”
Yukina glanced up at her husband and smiled. “If it’s alright with Kazuma, I’d like to name her after the two men that I love, my husband and my brother. I’d like to name her Kaihi.”
Grinning at Hiei’s stunned expression, Kuwabara leaned down to kiss Yukina’s cheek. “For a change, I don’t think Hiei will argue with me when I say we’d be honored Sweetheart.”
Smiling at her brother, Yukina saw Hiei try to hid his blush as he nodded. “For a change, the oaf is right.”
As everyone cooed over the baby, no one seemed to notice how quiet Kurama had gotten. Almost half an hour had passed when Hiei suddenly noticed his lover’s unusual posture. Kurama stood stiffly beside him with his arms crossed. Looking closer, Hiei saw that behind his arms Kurama’s fists were clenched. Shifting closer, Hiei saw the redhead take a subtle step away from him.
Realizing that Kurama was trying to mask his unstable ki and hide the fact that he was trembling, Hiei frowned. Looking around the room at their happy friends Hiei didn’t hesitate to growl. “Alright everyone, out! My sister needs to rest.”
With a few grumbled protests, everyone kissed Yukina and the baby before leaving the room. At the door, Yusuke paused. “Yukina and Kuwabara are excused, but I expect everyone else back at the party. Now we have a wedding and a baby to celebrate! Come on Grandma, you too.”
When the others were gone, Hiei went to his sister. Looking up at him, Yukina smiled. “We used to each be all alone Hiei, now you have Kurama, I have Kazuma, and with little Kaihi here we have a whole family now.”
Leaning down to kiss her cheek, Hiei didn’t bother to hide his smile. “Yes little Sister, we do. You get some rest, I’ll talk to you soon.”
Kuwabara and Yukina exchanged a look when Hiei didn’t wait for a response before taking a quiet Kurama by the arm and ushering him from the room. The moment the door closed and they were alone, Kurama moaned. “Hiei, it’s happening.”
Putting an arm around Kurama, Hiei felt the redhead lean into his strength. “We talked about this Fox. I need to get you to Makai.”
With a cry, Kurama tried to pull away. “No Hiei! Please, I need to see my mother first.”
Seeing the fear in Kurama’s green eyes, Hiei sighed. “Alright Kurama, let’s make it quick though.”
Forgetting the party that took place nearby, Kurama allowed Hiei to lead him to their room to change. Try as he might, Hiei couldn’t help but worry about his lover as he helped him change. Fifteen minutes later when they opened the door to leave, both men were surprised to see Botan waiting for them in the hall. With a look of impatience Hiei growled. “Get out of the way woman. We’re not going to that stupid party.”
Ignoring his rudeness, there was genuine concern in Botan’s eyes as she reached up to caress Kurama’s cheek. “I know. I’m here to help.”
Realizing she knew more than she should, Kurama smiled. “I’m not sure what you can do Botan.”
Botan gave him a gentle smile. “Not much I’m afraid, but my new status does allow me a few privileges.”
As if to emphasize her point, Botan brushed back her bangs to reveal the newly acquired ‘Jr.’ on her forehead. “Let’s go outside, I’ll create you a portal to where ever you wish to go.”
Grudgingly nodding his gratitude, Hiei helped Kurama follow her out a side door. Once clear of the hotel, Botan turned to Hiei for instructions. Hiei gave his lover a worried glance before growling at Botan. “I need to get him to his den in Makai, but the stupid fox insists on seeing his mother first.”
Botan nodded. “It’s alright Hiei, if you know the exact location of the den, I can have you there in a matter of minutes. I’ll open a portal directly into Shiori’s back yard. At this late hour, no one should see a thing.”
When Botan paused, Hiei and Kurama saw her reach for the locket at her throat. Taking something from inside, she held it out to Hiei. “I’ll leave the portal open for twenty minutes. Before it closes use this stone to redirect it near Kurama’s den in Makai. Simply feed ki into it to activate it as you concentrate on the desired location, then throw it into the portal ahead of you. Keep in mind, the portal will close exactly twenty minutes after I open it.”
Closing his fingers around the transport stone she had given him, Hiei grunted softly. “Thanks Botan.”
Botan nodded before looking at Kurama. “Now don’t you worry Kurama, I’ll take care of everything here. I know Hiei and Yoko won’t let anything happen to you so I’ll see you both when you return.”
After leaning up to give his cheek a quick kiss, Botan turned away and opened the portal. Before entering the portal, Kurama gave her a weak smile. “Thank you Botan.”
A moment later the demons were in Shiori’s back yard. Kurama immediately went to the back porch. From under a flower pot he took out a key and tried to open the back door. Seeing the redhead’s hand shake, Hiei quickly took the key and opened the door. Watching as Kurama crossed the kitchen and dining room, Hiei saw Kurama pause as he watched his parents from the doorway.
Drawing a breath for strength, Kurama stepped into the living room and called out. “Mother?”
With a gasp Shiori jumped up from the sofa where she and Kazuya had been watching TV. With a nervous laugh, Shiori came around the sofa to greet her son. “Oh Shuuichi, you startled me.”
One look at Kurama’s face and Shiori’s smile faltered. “Shuuichi, what is it? What’s wrong? Oh my God, it’s time, isn’t it?”
Knowing he was the cause of the fear in her voice and eyes, and knowing there was nothing he could do to alleviate it, Kurama simply nodded. “Yes Mother, it is. Hiei’s taking me to Makai. Since it appears that one way or another I will become a full demon, we both think it is best that I be there for whatever is about to happen.”
With a cry, Shiori was near tears as she reached for her son “Why do you have to go to Makai? Couldn’t you just stay here with us for as long as you can?”
Holding her close, Kurama tried to reassure her. “I’m sorry Mother, but I need to be in Makai right now. It’s hard to explain, but Makai has it’s own natural energy that soothes and even strengthens a demon. I need that right now. I promise, as soon as this is over, we’ll be back.”
Kurama felt Shiori’s arms tighten as she softly cried. “You’ll be alright Shuuichi. I know Hiei and Yoko won’t let anything happen to you.”
Looking over her shoulder, Kurama saw his stepfather’s worried face. With a smile, Kurama held out a hand to him. Moving forward, Kazuya clasped it in his. “Don’t worry Son, I’ll take care of your mother until you get back.”
Squeezing Kazuya’s hand, Kurama smiled at him. “I know you will. Thank you Father.”
Knowing how hard this was on Kurama, and the limited time they had, Hiei finally made his presence known. “Kurama, we need to get going. The portal will be closing soon.”
Lifting her head from Kurama’s shoulder, Shiori was reluctant to release her son. “Not yet Hiei. Please don’t take him from me so soon.”
Pulling her arms from his neck, Kurama smiled down at his mother. “Hiei’s right Mother. Botan gave us a direct portal to my den in Makai. We have only a few minutes until it closes.”
Giving his stepfather a pleading look for help, Kurama leaned down to kiss Shiori’s cheek. “I love you Mother.”
When Kurama stepped away from her, Shiori would have reached out to hold him but Kazuya held her back. “He has to go Sweetheart. Hiei, Shuuichi, take care and we’ll see you soon.”
Unable to bare seeing the tears streaming down his mother’s face, Kurama turned away. Only Hiei’s arm around him prevented Kurama from rushing back to her when Shiori cried out. “No Shuuichi, don’t go! Please Shuuichi, I love you! I love you Son!”
Trembling in earnest now, both from the changes happening within him and the emotions running through him, Kurama leaned heavily on Hiei as they left the house. Standing before the portal, Hiei withdrew the transport stone and, following Botan’s instructions, fed ki into it as he concentrated on their destination.
After throwing the stone into the portal, Hiei and Kurama stepped through without a backwards glance. A few moments later the portal closed behind them.
