Chapter 16: Complications Are No Fun

On the third ay of the sixth month of the present year; Kuwabara had a dream. It wasn't just any normal dream tho; this is Kuwabara we are talking about!

He felt numb. He felt nub from the tips of his fingers all the way down to each of his toes. It was this sensation that caused him to awake.

He found himself in a sterilized white room. It took him a few moments to realize he wasn't in Spirit World, but a hospital. He didn't remember how he got there or why he was even there. He looked over his still numb body and found scratches randomly placed over his arms and legs. He looked under his long white hospital gown; which he just notice. He found the scratches covered his chest and stomach; his stomach especially.

His eyes widened as he noticed his stomach. It wasn't the scratches that bothered him, they didn't look that deep. What bothered him was the fact that his stomach was flat. He looked...normal. Like before he had gotten pregnant.

"You're future sir?"

Kuwabara's head snapped up and found a cloaked figure sitting at the foot of the bed he was now sitting up in.

"Who are you?" Kuwabara asked.

It was then Kuwabara noticed the cloaked figure was shuffling a deck of what looked to be playing cards.

"Do you mean read my future?" Kuwabara asked.

The figure continued to shuffle the cards, in silence.

Kuwabara narrowed his eyes at the stranger and was about to move when he found himself unable to.

"What the..." he exclaimed.

The cloaked figure stopped shuffling and placed the cards in front of Kuwabara.

"Cut."

The voice was deep and smooth; definitely a man.

Kuwabara looked at him before down at the cards. He found he was able to move his hand and decided to go along with this guy; for now. He picked up the cards and cut the deck in half.

"Pick a pile." the man said pointing to first the left pile and then to the right.

Kuwabara furrowed his eyebrows but picked up the pile on his left.

The man picked up both piles and placed the one Kuwabara didn't pick off to the side. He then took the first card from the pile he had picked and lay it down on the bed.

The care was a card that had a man and a lion on it. The card was upside down to the man but was normal in front of Kuwabara. on the card was written: STRENGTH.

The cloaked man picked another card up and placed it to that card's right; being Kuwabara's left. It was a normal playing card, the Ace of Spades. Another card was placed next to that card. it had a sun with a face with the words: THE SUN on the bottom of the card. The card was upside down to Kuwabara.

The cloaked man picked up a fourth card from the pile and laid it to the left of the first card: Kuwabara's right. It had a man in a chariot. He had two animals that looked like Sphinxes in front of the chariot. It had THE CHARIOT written at the bottom of the card. Another card was placed next to that one and was a normal playing card; King of Clubs.

He laid two more cards below the first card; one being the King of Diamonds and the other being a picture of what looked to be a demon; though the name of the card was THE DEVIL.

Two more cards were placed above that first cards. One was a picture of two naked people with an angel above them. On the bottom of this card is said THE LOVERS. The last card was another normal playing card, the Queen of Spades.

The man placed the rest of the cards off to the side with the other pile and looked down at the cards that were lain in front of Kuwabara and himself. The cards seemed to take the shape of a cross at how they were lay down. Kuwabara looked at the cards as well; though puzzled at what they meant. He had never had a reading before so he didn't know how it went.

"Danger is in your future," the man began. "Soon will be some form of treachery or health problem that will be sad or cause sadness. however, depending on a choice or decision, which may be brought about by a nagging worry through a mistrusted confidence; it could end up being good health, splendor, or end up leading to treachery. It may be influenced by someone; an older yet powerful man who you must be cautious with; not necessarily someone you know."

Kuwabara instinctively covered his stomach at the part of 'health problems'. However not only did he find his stomach still flat, but a warm wet substance seemed to be coming from it. He looked down at his hands and found them along with his stomach to be drenched with blood. He held out his blood soaked hands in front of his wide eyes; not knowing how or why he was bleeding.

"What the hell..." he whispered as his body felt cold along with the numbness.

All of a sudden, everything grew dark as a baby crying was mixed within the darkness until he could hear nor feel anything.

Sweat poured down his face as his eyes snapped open and he sat up. Wide eyes flashed around the room before looking down at his hands and stomach.

"Kuwa?" came a half a sleep voice to his right.

Kuwabara looked over at his waking best friend; who was one of the fathers of his baby. He let out a sigh of relief before wrapping his arms around his stomach in a protective manor.

"That's the third time this week..." Kuwabara mumbled.

"Had another bad dream again eh? Which one was it dis time?" Chuu said stirring from his slumber and sitting up.

"Was it the one of that three headed chiwawa chasing you down the street while only wearing your boxers?" Yusuke asked a smirk on his lips.

He thought it would be funny to see that happen in real life.

Chuu snickered at that dream as well before wrapping Kuwabara in a secure hug, nuzzling his nose in the crook of Kuwabara's neck. However, not even that seemed to settle his mother of his child's nerves. Yusuke scooted closer to the two. He wasn't much of a cuddler as the other two were; however, he did sometimes feel left out whenever Chuu would cuddle with his best friend.

"No...tho I haven't had that one for a while now." Kuwabara said, going in deep thought for a moment.

"Hey, what's wrong? Don't tell me it was that 'card' dream?" Yusuke asked.

Kuwabara sighed and nodded.

"Ah, well dontcha worry bout dat Kuwa-chan. It was nuthin' more than a dream." Chuu said, pulling the man closer to his chest as he continued to nuzzle into his neck.

Kuwabara sighed and relaxed just a bit as he leaned back into Chuu's embrace. His hands still rested protectively over his stomach. Yusuke leaned against Kuwabara's side, resting his hand on top of Kuwabara's hands.

"That's right. It doesn't really mean anything." Yusuke added, feeling a bit sleepy again at the warmth he was feeling just leaning against Kuwabara.

Chuu snuck an arm around Yusuke and pulled him closer. Yusuke gave Chuu a glare, however all he got from Chuu was his famous smile and wink. Yusuke sighed. He knew the only way to get out of this 'cuddling' was to go back to his side of the bed; which was probably cool by now. He decided to enjoy it, just this once.

"I guess so..." Kuwabara said, not really believing their words.

"Hey." Yusuke said scooting up a bit to make Kuwabara look at him.

"Even if it was gonna happen; I won't LET it happen, got that?" Yusuke said with seriousness in his voice and face.

Kuwabara looked deeply into Yusuke's eyes before sighing and nodding.

"Yeah, I know."

"So stoop worrying about stupid stuff." Yusuke said before giving Kuwabara a soft kiss on his cheek.

Kuwabara blushed slightly. This was the only thing he would allow the two demons to do with him. Otherwise, he would be one big blushing tomato; and that isn't manly. Although, carrying a baby isn't really that 'manly' either; however, it was hard to convince Kuwabara of that fat; let alone his two 'fathers'.

"Geeze, anymore attention like this and I'll really feel like a girl."

"Who said you weren't?" Yusuke said with a snicker.

However, he regretted his words as Kuwabara pulled away from Chuu's embrace and gave Yusuke a knuckle sandwich that sent hi off the bed and onto the floor.

"Asshole!" Kuwabara growled, his eyes turning a bit bluish as he glared at the feet that were still on the bed; the rest of Yusuke on the floor.

Chuu began to laugh and before he knew what happened; he found himself on the ground looking up at the ceiling; his own feet still on the bed. He shook his head and sat on the floor looking at his steamed ' mother of his child'.

"What was dat fer?"

"For laughing at Urameshi!" Kuwabara said.

"Geeze, having a demon baby had given you superhuman strenght cause that hurt." Yusuke said, rubbing his cheek, which already started to bruise a bit.

Kuwabara pouted, which usually was the signal to leave before he either got violent or went into a crying fit. Both Chuu and Yusuke were on their feet and at the door the moment they saw that pout.

"I'll make us breakfast!" Yusuke said, already turning the doorknob.

"And I'll give ya a hand 'ere Urameshi." Chuu said, very close behind him.

Kuwabara's mood seemed to change at the mention of food.

"Can I have pickles with my omelet? Not in it but on the side?" Kuwabara asked.

"Ah...sure?" Yusuke said before giving Chuu a disgusted look.

However, Kuwabara saw it and growled before picking up his pillow.

"I saw that look Urameshi! It's not MY fault I got this weird pickle craving!" Kuwabara before throwing the pillow at the door.

Yusuke and Chuu however, made it out the door in time before the pillow hit. Kuwabara sighed and pouted. However, he had to smile. He had two great guys helping him out, making him breakfast and what not. He could get use to the treatment, just not to the weird cravings.

Kuwabara sighed and leaned back, resting his hands protectively over his stomach as he subconsciously stroked his more than obvious stomach. He looked up at the ceiling; deep in thought. To him, all the dreams he had ever had; hand some sort of significance to it. If only he had gotten that dream book he had seen in a book store a year ago. If only he had a job to pay for that book; he would know what it all meant. However, there was no use to wondering about the 'what ifs'. All he could do was try and calm down and try not to worry too much about it.

'They're right...nothing bad will happen.' Kuwabara thought; however, deep down he knew something just could; and that didn't help easy his mind at all.

About fifteen minutes had gone by, Kuwabara just continued to stare up at the ceiling; gently stroking his stomach. It was at this time he felt something in his stomach. It was first a soft pain and gradually it began to hurt even more. At first Kuwabara thought he was just hungry; that is until a firm sharp pain seemed to flash throughout his stomach. His eyes widened and his mouth opening but nothing came out; the pain making it hard for Kuwabara to even express how much it was hurting.

He clenched his eyes and covered his stomach with his arms; hoping to stop the pain with just covering his stomach. However, it seemed to make it worse as the pain went straight from his stomach to down his spine and up to the top of his head.

Kuwabara moaned in pain, the only noise that was able to escape his curled lips. He started to convulse from the pain; as wave after wave hit his stomach and traveled up his spine to his head. It was starting to become hard to breath; as he found himself gasping for air in-between the pain.

'Yusuke...Chuu...help...me...' Kuwabara thought as tears began to fall from his eyes; the pain growing with each breath he took.

As if they had heard him; Yusuke and Chuu busted into the room. Both reaching his side in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Yusuke asked, already on the bed and cradling the withering man in his arms.

He didn't care about how much he hated to cuddle; the only thing he could think about at the moment was figuring out what was causing Kuwabara so much pain and to try and calm him down.

"It'-it's my stomach...arghh!! It...it..." Kuwabara started before grunting in pain.

"Stay calm, Kuwa-chan." Chuu said, pain in his eyes; however he wasn't letting it be heard in his voice. "Breath. I'll go get Genkai."

He looked at Yusuke who nodded at him; before Chuu dashed out of the room.

Yusuke awkwardly cradled the withering and softly moaning man against his chest; his arms protectively wrapped around his stomach. He began to rock Kuwabara a bit, trying to calm him down.

"H-how'd you guys...urmm...know?" Kuwabara asked in-between the spikes of pain.

"I don't know. One minute we're cooking you a delicious breakfast, and the next we felt like our heads were about to explode."

Yusuke really wasn't sure how they knew; all he knew was they just knew Kuwabara was in trouble once they felt that sharp pain.

Kuwabara would have made a comment regarding to 'father's' intuition; however he was struck with another sharp pain, this time filling his entire body. He hissed threw his clenched teeth. A soft whisper also escaped his lips; causing Yusuke to began to panic. He didn't know how much more he could stand to see his best friend in this pain. He also feared for the baby. The pain seemed to be coming from Kuwabara's stomach, meaning it could be some kind of problem with the baby.

Yusuke closed his eyes, holding Kuwabara closer.

'God please let the baby and Kuwa be alright....' he prayed.

"Don't worry Kuwa, I'm here with you and we are gonna get through this together, ya hear me?" Yusuke said, trying to calm not only Kuwabara, but himself.

Kuwabara only grunted as his response and for what seemed like hours; only being ten minutes; he grunted and whimpered and convulsed in pain. Leaving poor Yusuke only able to rock the pain stricken man in his arms, humming slightly to try and settle both of their nerves. Finally, as quickly as it came; the pain stopped.

Yusuke sat there, never letting go of Kuwabara; however he grew fearful as Kuwabara went slack in his arms; as if dead.

"Kuwa? Hey...Kuwa are you alright?" Yusuke asked, worry and fear deep in his voice as he brought Kuwabara's face close to his own to see if he could feel Kuwabara still breathing.

Kuwabara stirred slightly and looked up at Yusuke, causing a sigh of relief from Yusuke's lips. He gave Kuwabara a relieved smile and couldn't help himself but kiss Kuwabara's sweaty forehead.

It was at this moment, Chuu came into the room with Genkai. Yusuke glanced up just to see Genkai close the door behind her; leaving a crowded hallway of worried demons.

"Great timing; you missed the 'fun'." Yusuke sighed in frustration.

Genkai ignored the comment and felt Kuwabara's stomach; Yusuke removing his hands to let the old master check his best friend out. Her brow furrowed in thought as she continued to gently feel the bloated stomach. It was obvious by the look on her face that what she was feeling wasn't good.

She looked up at the two worried fathers with a stern face.

"Leave, I need to examine Kuwabara."

Yusuke, afraid something else would happen to Kuwabara; wrapped his arms protectively around Kuwabara's form.

"I'm not leaving him. What if he has another 'attack'? No way, grandma." Yusuke said with a glare.

"I agree wit Urameshi." Chuu said, standing next to the two on the bed.

Genkai sighed, this was gonna be a pain.

"Its ok guys..." came a soft yet hoarse voice.

They both looked down at the exhausted looking Kuwabara. He gave them a weak smile.

"But Kuwa..." Yusuke started.

"If you guys stayed; then you'll just get in the way. Besides if I have another attack, you can always come back in." Kuwabara said with a pleading look in his eyes.

Chuu sighed.

"Alright."

Yusuke wasn't that easy to convince. He stared deeply into Kuwabara's eyes. He could see that he was scared, however he could also see that Kuwabara would be fine; for a little while with out him there to hold him. Yusuke sighed and nodded.

"Fine, but if I hear any screams I'm coming right back in here; got that?" Yusuke said, gently laying Kuwabara back on the bed as he moved himself out from behind the tired man.

Kuwabara smiled weakly.

"I'll hold ya to that Urameshi...." Kuwabara said a bit weakly.

Before Yusuke could change his mind; Chuu wrapped his arm around Yusuke's shoulder and guided his lover out of the room. Before closing the door; the two gave one last look at the mother of their baby; who looked ready to pass out any minute.

As soon as the door was closed behind them; the two found themselves surrounded by worried demons.

"How is he?" asked a concerned and worried Kurama.

Hiei was at his side; not looking worried; but his eyes told another story.

"Not sure..." Yusuke said, as he combined an unsteady hand through his messy black hair.

"What happened?" Rinku asked, looking up at them with a child like innocent that didn't seem to go away since the last time Yusuke had seen him.

"It seemed like he was having contractions." Chuu said, however after saying that he went deep into thought.

"How do you know that?" Yusuke asked, already forgetting that Chuu was married and had a kid.

"I've seen this before..." Chuu said, still in thought.

It was oddly familiar, but he wasn't sure if it was what he was thinking of. He would have to wait till he heard from Genkai to make sure. However, if it was what he thought it was; it would be easy to cure; although he might have a hard time of convincing Yusuke that the treatment was not a scam on his part. He would just have to wait.

"Oh." Yusuke said, now recalling the talk they had a long while back.

It was at this time Yusuke also remembered that Chuu had never really finished telling him what happened to his mate and kid. However, this wasn't the right time nor place to ask him about that.

"Isn't it too soon for that tho?" Toya asked.

"Maybe 'cause they are both demons it quickens da birth, that it does?" Jin suggested, also looking worried.

He had a small crush on the red head back in the Dark Tourney; which developed into a strong friendship over the years. He didn't want to see anything bad happen to the human; nor to his baby.

"Could be..." Yusuke said before mumbling to himself, "but something about this doesn't feel right..."

They all waited by the door; some more patiently then others. It felt like hour; but forty-five minutes later Genkai came out of the room; closing the door behind her. She let out a sigh before turning to the anxious and worried demons that had waited in the crowded hallway.

"How is he grandma?" Yusuke asked.

She sighed again and shook her head.

"What? What is it?" Yusuke asked, his eyes beginning to dilate from the worry.

"His body is ready to give birth; however, the baby isn't fully developed yet." she said.

'Or rather babies; but that can wait until this is solved.' she thought.

Genkai had not only discovered the fact that his body was somehow speeding up the process; while the baby it self was developing at a normal human birth speed. However, she discovered that the 'baby' was actually twins! She hoped they wouldn't both end up like Yusuke. She didn't think the world could handle that.

"How is that possible?!" Yusuke asked.

Chuu remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"It's normal with human males; even half human- half demon males to have this problem."

This information stunned everyone; however, Genkai was the first to recover; having already known about that.

"That is correct."

"Is there anyway to stop it?" Kurama asked.

He had heard of something like that happening. It was one of the reasons male demons and male humans were forbidden to have children for a long time in the demon world. However, Kurama had never personally dealt with nor knew anyone who had it happen to; until now.

"I haven't dealt with this before." Genkai said.

"I have."

Everyone turned to look at Chuu who had a serious look on his face.

"My first mate was half demon male and he was only four months pregnant when complications occurred. For a cat demon that is two months earlier than normal." Chuu said.

"Is...is that how...?" Yusuke started to ask.

"No. He died later."

"So you know what must be done?" Kurama asked, hoping the alchemist master knew how to save Kuwabara and his baby.

Chuu nodded.

"Yusuke and I must stabilize Kuwabara's energy with our own energy. The baby's demon energy is affecting Kuwabara's spiritual energy to the point that it thinks the baby is a disease and that it needs to spit it out. However, if Yusuke and I can transfer enough of our own energy into him; than it would balance out the power and help the body slow down. However, in order to do that, we gotta spend at least a week being...intimately close to him."

Everyone stood there for a moment, letting the words be absorbed in before looking at Chuu with stunned eyes.

"Are you fucking serious?!" Yusuke shouted.

He couldn't believe his ears. If what Chuu said was true; then that means that; according to how Chuu put it, he and Chuu had to have sex or something in order to help Kuwabara out. On top of that, they would have to do it possibly non-stop for an entire week!

Now, it wasn't the fact Yusuke didn't want to have sex with Kuwabara. In fact, he wished he could do more than cuddle with him every night; against his own wishes but more so to be close to Kuwabara. However, he didn't want it to be this way to have their 'first time'.

"come on Urameshi, don'tcha tell me ya haven't thought about it? Not even fantasized?" Chuu said, a knowing smirk on his lips.

He had caught Yusuke several times in the shower fantasying about Kuwabara; hell Yusuke had caught Chuu fantasizing about Kuwabara a few times.

"I've heard you in the shower, while ya thought I was cuddling up to Kuwabara at night; as ya moaned out his name and talked all dirty before ya climax. I'm surprised Kuwabara hasn't woken up from yer screams." Chuu said with a smirk and a wink.

Yusuke's face turned red; now whether it was from anger or from blushing at Chuu's comment; no one knew.

"Oh yeah? Well, I know you've fantasize about him so much that it's amazing Kuwabara hasn't caught you as you masturbate right next to him while he sleeps!"

"Stop." Kurama growled out.

"Yeah...yea makin' the rest of us itch..." Jin said.

Chuu and Yusuke looked at the group of demons and sweat dropped. they could see the lust in their comrade's eyes and the in-difference in Genkai's eyes.

"do you guys mind?!" Yusuke growled, showing his fangs as he glared at all the perverted demons.

"Yeah, get out and practice. We know what we gotta do." Chuu said, not really liking those looked either.

If he could, he would have thrown them all out just by the lusty looks they had in their eyes. However, Chuu knew it wasn't there fault; so he wouldn't, this time.

Genkai nodded in agreement. She didn't really like it; however, it made sense what Chuu said; and that method had been useful in the past. She had seen it done with other aliments; why not this one?

"You heard them, they can handle it from here." She said, while leading the frustrated demons out of the hallway.

She couldn't help but smirk; before plastering her usual stone cold look.

Once every9one left; Chuu and Yusuke continued their conversation.

"There's gotta be another way!"

Chuu snickered.

"There is."

Yusuke blinked and gave Chuu a look of disbelief.

"Well, spit it out then! How else can we give him our energy?!"

Chuu chuckled.

"I never really said it was through sex."

He laughed as Yusuke's face faltered and he did an anime fall, before picking himself back up and with a flustered face full of anger; got in Chuu's face.

"Then why the Hell did you make it seem like we had to do THAT to him?!"

"It was fun watching yer reaction." Chuu said with a chuckle.

"Stop fooling around and tell me how the hell we transfer our energy into Kuwabara!" growled Yusuke.

He loved the guy, but he loved Kuwabara just a bit more; so he wouldn't mind killing the alchemist demon if he had to and oh how much did he want to at this moment.

Chuu put his hands up in self defense.

"Alright, alright...we must transfer our energy threw....the lips." Chuu said.

Yusuke did another anime fall at that one. He should have known. It was at this moment he remembered that was the same way he was brought back to life four years ago; so it only made sense that to save the baby and Kuwabara, it would be threw a kiss.

"You coulda just said that to begin with!" Yusuke growled.

"Awww...and ruin me fun? No way." Chuu said with a wink. "Besides, it's easy to cure; and its not just kissing him on his lips; but we gotta be touching him and kissing him the entire week. We gotta be near him at all times so he can absorb some of our energy. It's the safest way ta do it." Chuu said.


"Are you serious or are you just being a pervert and making this up?" Yusuke said, narrowing his eyes at Chuu.

No lie. I swear on me mum's grave." Chuu said with a serious face.

Yusuke studied Chuu's face for a few moments before nodding; believing what Chuu said to be the truth.

"Alright....so I guess we should get started." Yusuke sighed.

Chuu clapped his arm around Yusuke's shoulder and leaned close to him.

"Stop sounding like yer being sentenced ta death."

"I just don't like this entire situation. I wanted to make out with him after the baby was born; not to save him and the baby's life." Yusuke sighed.

"Nothin' we can do 'bout dat, so just enjoy it while we got the chance....now let's go!" Chuu said.

Before Yusuke could say anymore, Chuu had opened the door and barged into the room. Yusuke sighed. He figured what the worse could happen?
