.A/N(pt 1) For those of you confused, this chapter will clear up the "surrogate" issue�but just to be clear here�s what Dictionary.com has to say about it�

Surrogate: A person or animal that functions as a substitute for another, as in a social or family role.

.Disclaimer: *is sick* So I will not have anything witty to say right now. I don�t own YYH. Sad, but true. *goes off to eat some chicken soup*

.Chapter 5: Surrogate

"Surrogate is an Alpha who stands in place of a mate. He will be with her during the pregnancy, and care for her. When the pups are born he may take partial guardianship." You watch Kami�s face as she explains, and for the first time it isn�t a cool mask of indifference. She�s annoyed, annoyed with Hiei, you, or whatever else you don�t know. It�s daunting.

Still, anger swells up like venom in your stomach. She�s leaving things out, important things. Things that affect you. Before you could stop yourself, you were destroying that sugar coated version and unloading more truth on everyone than you were allowed. "It�s different than a mate though. A mate does those things too, but between mates, even if one is Alpha and the other is not, that allows the mate certain freedoms from his or her mate�s dominance. A surrogate isn�t about partnership, it�s about ownership. There is no freedom there."

The entire pack is watching you, eyes cold and holding their breath. Spilling such a deeply held "family" secret was not wise of you. You know it. You knew it even before you started speaking, but it�s too late, and for that moment you can�t care. Even with the feeling of your brother going tense behind you, it just doesn�t feel wrong.

"I�ll be her surrogate," Hiei says, taking a step towards you.

Kami�s annoyance slides easily into shock. "You�want to be her surrogate?"

Hiei glares ferociously at Rai and nods. "I didn�t waste my time for nothing."

She puts a hand to her forehead, closing her eyes to reign in her control, but you can�t look anywhere but at Hiei. He wants to be�? It�s not you, it couldn�t be. So why else�unless. �He want my pups!� That�s the look you saw in his eyes, that�s the reason it made you so uneasy! You can�t imagine why, but he wants the pups, and because the pack has called him Alpha, and acknowledged his parentage of the pups, there�s not a thing you can do if he wants to take you.

Almost in control, Kami says, "You are the true father, and so you don�t need to be a surrogate. But are you sure you�re willing to stay with the pack for the next three months?" She almost laughs as she says it, knowing as well as you do that Hiei is too restless to stay.

Hiei smirks slowly and shakes his head. "I won�t be staying. She�ll be coming with me."

"I won�t stand for it!" Okami says suddenly. "Kami-sama, pack master, you cannot allow this!"

"I second the motion," Rai declares angrily. "She should remain with her people. If he will not stay, then she should be given a surrogate."

"Let the onna decide," Hiei says quiet, but fiercely.

Rai snorts. "She�s not even Alpha."

Kami is silent for a time as a great debate rises. You�re mind is too full of your own thoughts to listen to the din around you. Do you go? Or do you stay? The pack will defend you if that�s your choice, but a surrogate. The idea leaves an almost physical bad taste in your mouth. You�re eyes lift, and through the fog and white noise in your brain you see Hiei. He�s watching you, sure of the decision you�ll make, and just like that so are you. You feel Kami�s eyes on you, and gently you pull away from Okami, who is too busy with the argument to notice. You kneel before Kami and say, "I want to go, Kami-sama."

You know you shouldn�t. You even know it could mean loosing your pups. But you also know you�re willing to fight for them, and that if you stay here, you will never be more than a submissive mate. Going with Hiei isn�t the best option, but the way you see it, it�s your only one. You have three months to find out why he wants the pups, and how to stop that from happening. You�re not sure how, but you�ll do it.

Kami places her hand atop your head and sighs. "Very well."

And just like that, Hiei is at your side, wrapping his hand around your wrist to lead you away. The wolves are still arguing, and you know Kami-sama is waiting for you to go before she calms them. Okami would get himself killed before letting you go off to have your pups. You take Kami�s hand and kiss it.

"Please help him understand," you say, knowing she�ll get who you mean. Kami nods, and then Hiei is pulling you away from the pack. For the next three months, his home will be yours.

*~*~*~*

"Is this where you live?" you ask, unable to hide the awe you feel at the sight of the giant temple from your voice. Hiei shakes his head.

"No but the owner, Genkai, will take care of you until you have the child."

"Genkai?" the name sounds familiar, but you can�t quite place it. "You won�t be staying then?"

He sneers. "Hn�what did you expect? For me to hold your hand these next three months? I have more important things to do." You scowl and look away. PerhPerhaps it�s for the best,� you tell yourself.

The doors open as you approach and a petite old woman with graying pink hair steps out to greet you. Her hands are clasped behind her back, and she sizes you up almost instantly with her eyes. This treatment doesn�t even as faze you, you�re used to the Alphas doing it all the time. You twitch your ears forward curiously, and simply wait for her to finish her inspection, the whole time trying to recall where you recognize her from.

"Oh!" you blurt out as your memory returns. Genkai raises an eyebrow.

"Oh what?"

Blushing slightly at your outburst you say, "I just remembered where I�ve seen yeforefore. You were on team Urameshi at the Dark Tournament!" Just then another realization hits you. "You died!"

Genkai chuckles softly and shakes her head. "Come on inside. Hiei, will you be joining us for tea?"

"No. I have other things to do," he replies coolly.

"Of course," Genkai smirks, and you follow her inside. The doors shut behind you and you find yourself looking around a comfortable living room.

You�re just a little confused about how Genkai could be alive, but let it go for now. Now that you�re thinking about the Dark Tournament, you realize that both Kurama and that Yusuke fellow were part of the team themselves. �I must have been so preoccupied,� thi think to yourself, �to have missed that.�

"Tea?&q Gen Genkai asks.

"Yes, please," you tell her. "I�ll help."

Genkai shakes her head. "Not necessary. I asked Kurama to come over and help you adjust. He seemed to know a lot about wolf demons." It�s then you noticed the red-haired fox sitting on the couch with a book in his hands, seemingly oblivious to your presence. He looks up after a moment and smiles.

"Hello, _________(your name)." He stands and walks over to you, while Genkai slips away. "Let me show you to your room. Do you need me to get any of your belongings?" You shake your head.

"I�ve just got me," you reply a little sheepishly.

"Very well." He leads you down a hallway to a bedroom, complete with it�s own bathroom attached. It�s simple, just a bed, dresser, and closet, but to your eyes it�s the nicest place you�ve ever lived.

"Wow! Much better than sleeping on the ground," you sigh, dropping onto the mattress. You�d only enjoyed them the few times you and Hiei had managed to meet in an abandoned house or a hotel. Now you�ll get to sleep in one every night! What a dream!

Kurama chuckles softly at your display as you roll around on the bed for a moment before sitting up and grinning. You splay your fingers over your stomach and say, "I think this will be better for the pups."

He nods. "I�ll be visiting often," he says, "So if you need anything, let me know."

"You and Hiei must be very good friends," you say gratefully.

"Something like that," he grins and nods for you to follow him back to the living room. "We understand each other."

Shaking your head you mutter, "I wish I understood him."

*~*~*~*

A week passes uneventfully, and you adjust to living at the temple with Genkai. She�s a bit stern at times, but you find yourself really enjoying her company. She has been teaching you a few spirit techniques �just to pass the time�. It�s nothing intense, just enough to keep the both of you busy. She�s also been teaching you breathing techniques, meditation, and giving you health advice. Whether she likes it or not, you�re starting to look to her as a mother figure.

Hiei hasn�t been by, but Kurama visits almost every day. Today he�s taking you into town to buy some maternity clothes. Your stomach has begun swelling, and you want to get this out of the way before your pants don�t fit anymore. As it is, you spend more and more time in the sweatpants he loaned you. Everything is going fairly well, except for one thing.

You miss your pack. Not specifically it�s members, though you miss your brother something terrible, but it�s presence. You miss lying down for the night, six or seven of your brothers and sisters piled up all around you. The touch of your pack is what you miss most, and you feel yourself starving for the feel of someone snuggling close to you. It�s not sexual; it�s just comfort.

"Kurama�s here," Genakai says, looking up from the game you�re playing to the door behind you.

"Alright," you say with a smile, and stand up to greet him.

"Ready to go?" he asks smoothly.

"Yeah, just let me grab my coat." You shuffle off down the hall, feeling cold, and knowing that it wasn�t the kind of cold a coat could fix. But you needed the coat to hide your tail, and your hat as well, you remember.

You start to tug the jacket on, when you feel someone behind you lift it up and help you. You turn to stare at Kurama, who is smiling sadly at you. "You do not look well," he tells you. You nod. He seems to understand, and pulls you into his arms. The smell of freshly turned soil and roses fills your nose, and you sink into it, letting the comfort of touch seep into you. Below the earthy smell is his fox scent, it�s canine and your wolf senses respond to it. Without meaning to, you snuggle against him.

When he finally pulls away, you feel a thousand times better, and there are tears in your eyes. "Thank you," you whisper.

"Anytime," he tells you, "Ready to go?" You nod, and pull on your hat as you follow him out the door.
