Gestation Part One

“Will you stop trying to feed me!?” Hiei shouted at Kurama as he offered him his third snack of the day, a PB&J sandwich. “Damn it Kurama, you’re making me get fat!”

“You’re having a baby, you’re supposed to get fat,” Kurama replied wearily. Hiei’s been like this recently. It was the hormones, he knew it. Nonetheless dealing with the small apparition’s mood swings was taxing. At times Kurama wondered what he was thinking when he invited Hiei to live with him during his pregnancy.

“So I am getting fat?!” Hiei looked down at his belly, “I didn’t think I was, but-- it’s your fault for shoveling food down me all the time!”

“Hiei, I’m just trying to help you keep up your strength--”

“My strength? So I’m weak now? Fat and weak!” Hiei snapped. He got up and dashed for the backdoor.

“Hiei, where are you going?” Kurama nearly dropped Hiei’s PB&J on the floor as he ran after the apparition.

“What do you care? I’m just some fat, weak demon who can’t even make his own sandwiches!” Hiei called back before slamming the backdoor.

“It’s only the hormones,” Kurama told himself, “He’ll be back in ten minutes, feeling silly for flying off the handle, just like the last time.” He sighed.
* * *
Hiei only made it to the back gate before his hormonal pendulum swung in the other direction. Did he just go off on Kurama for making him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? He shouldn’t have done that. He just wasn’t feel hungry, hadn’t felt much like eating in the last couple days. If not for the fox shoving food at him, Hiei probably wouldn’t have eaten anything in the past few days. It was probably a precursor to his morning sickness. He was due to start getting that soon.

Hiei shuttered at the thought, not because the sickness itself bothered him, but because it was more proof of his inexplicable pregnancy. Yes, Hiei the Jaganshi, master of the Darkness Flame, living legend of the demon world was going to have a baby.

The thought sent a chill down his spine-- or was it just his hormones messing with his internal thermostat again. He’d been getting hot and cold flashes all week. Kurama’s been at his wits end keeping him in warm blanks and cool drinks.

He did owe Kurama an apology though, but Hiei kept walking on out the gate and down the street. Being cooped up in that house was only making him irritable anyway. He wanted to walk. Where? He didn’t know until he found himself there. To his surprise it was Yusuke’s door step. The door opened, even though he didn’t knock. He didn’t need to. Yusuke sensed his aura down the block.

“Hey, Short Stuff. What brings ya out here?” Yusuke grinned as he stepped aside to let Hiei into the apartment. It wasn’t as big as the one he had when he was living with his mother, but it cleaner and a lot quieter. “Uh, Kurama not with you?”

“You don’t think I can take care of myself either?” Hiei snapped, and then schooled himself. “Never mind. He’s at his home. I came alone.”

“That’s cool,” Yusuke said, not bothered a bit by Hiei’s outburst. “I guess it’s a good thing for ya two to spend a little time apart. Ya know, before ya drive each other crazy.”

Hiei merely grunted in response as he dropped down on Yusuke’s couch. He hissed involuntarily as his weight eased off his feet.

“Your feet sore?” Yusuke was quick to notice. “Let me see your feet. Dude, they’re so swollen!”

Hiei looked down, aghast at the size of his own appendages and groaned, “Great, this is just what I need.”

“Awe, how’s about I give you a foot rub? I‘m real good at it, just ask my ma.” Yusuke didn’t wait for a reply, but immediately sat down on the floor between Hiei’s oversized feet, took one in his hand and started to gently knead it.

“Nyghhhh,” Hiei moaned. He had no idea how tensed up the muscles in his feet were until Yusuke’s massaging started to loosen them. He thought for a moment that he should be telling Yusuke to stop, kick him in the face-- But fuck that! His feet were sore and this was great.

Yusuke’s hands moved from the ball of his foot, up to stroke his ankles and shins. Every inch Yusuke touched was another inch the Hiei slid into blissful relaxation. He didn’t even notice when Yusuke’s hands slid up his thighs, over his lap to the lowest buttons on his coat. He unbuttoned them. Hiei didn’t notice until Yusuke lifted the hem of his shirt and he felt cool air gust across his belly.

“What are you doing?” Hiei asked indignantly.

“Just wanted to see how you were coming along,” Yusuke said as if that were a perfectly reasonable excuse for lifting up another man’s shirt. He smoothed his palm over Hiei’s belly. “Guess you’re not showing yet. You’re only in your first month. Ya won’t really be ballooning up until you’re, like what, seven months into it right?”

“My mother’s people only gestate for three months. As demons, their bodies are more resilient than a human’s, thus their bodies needn’t so much time to adjust between stages of pregnancy,” Hiei told him. “I should be ballooning up, as you say, by the end of next month.”

“Wow, that quick huh. Then you must got a real proper fetus or something in there right now,” Yusuke muttered as he leaned down to press his ear on Hiei’s stomach, “I wonder if I can hear it kicking or something.”

Yusuke exhaled, blowing warm moist air across Hiei’s belly and exciting a shiver though his small frame. Yusuke’s hands were absently stroking his sides. Like usual, Yusuke probably wasn’t even thinking about what he was doing. But Hiei thought about it. The closeness of their bodies and familiarity of their touch, it wasn’t something Hiei was accustomed. It was taboo, alien, exotic.

It made him think back to that day, not long ago, when his reproductive cycle drove him to fool around with Yusuke in the woods. That had been an experience! One that he might not mind repeating… maybe now--!

Hiei broke his thoughts off with a start. He had been really agitated all day for no apparent reason. Now he realized he wasn’t agitated at all. He was horny! He wiggled under Yusuke, trying to put some distance between them, before the other boy could notice the turgid state of his lower half. Too late. He felt Yusuke’s chest press down on him and then he stiffened.

“I…” Hiei fought to explain himself, but couldn’t find the words.

“Hormones,” Yusuke supplied for him. “Happens. Sorry, I didn’t mean to get you all stirred up. Wow, that‘s uh, some boner you got going there.” Yusuke scrapped his fingernail across the material covering Hiei’s bulge.

“Don’t play with it!” Hiei protested.

“Man Hiei. Not to sound like a cheap porno, but you’re so big right now. Won‘t it cause ya problems if we don‘t take care of this.” Yusuke looked up at him, causing Hiei to blush.

“‘We?’ You and the fox both have some fascination with that word,” Hiei said. The poison in his words was diluted by desire.

“You’re cute when ya blush like that,” Yusuke said, being made nervous by his own words, “Here, uh, let me.” Yusuke fumbled for the zipper on Hiei’s pants. In less time than it takes to tell, Yusuke had Hiei’s pants undone and was pushing them down his trim thighs. “Damn that looks like it hurts,” Yusuke muttered before wrapping his hand around Hiei’s throbbing member.

“Ahh, Yusuke!” Hiei’s body lurched forward on its own will and before he knew it his lips were locked with Yusuke’s in an, if not confusing, enthusiastic kiss.

Yusuke gasped as their mouths parted and re-coupled again. His hand burred over Hiei’s cock, making the smaller demon squirm adorably under him. Yusuke moved, kissing down his chin and across his jaw line. He sucked at the spot just below Hiei’s left ear. Hiei howled and clawed at Yusuke’s shoulders. He tore Yusuke’s shirt, thankfully it was only an old tank top that had a stain on it anyway.

Yusuke pulled the tank top the rest of the way from his body and tossed it on the floor. To his surprise, the moment the material was gone, Hiei plastered his face to his chest and started mapped out the contours of his musculature with his tongue. He was wiggling his body even more. Yusuke dimly realized he was trying to wrap his legs around his waist, but his pant’s around his knees was preventing him from succeeding. Yusuke quickly removed the problem. Instantly Hiei was tightly latched around his body, his tight little ass rubbing on Yusuke’s clothed penis.

Then, Hiei reached down and gasped the waistband of Yusuke’s sweats and yanked them down, allowing Yusuke’s hot member to loll out and tap against his bear bottom. On impulse or instinct, Yusuke couldn’t say, he grabbed Hiei’s legs, lifted them and spread them wide.

“Ohh, fuck Hiei!” He growled as he rammed his shaft into Hiei’s hole.

“AHH!” Hiei screamed. Yusuke’s mind cleared for a moment then, worried that he’d hurt his friend by taking him so suddenly and with out lubricant or preparation. But then Hiei started yelling, “Yusuke! Fuck me! Fuck me!” Then his mind clouded back over and fuck Hiei he did.

He snapped his hips quickly and forcefully. But some remnants of sense told him not do it with all the aggression he could, remembering that Hiei was with child. Hiei’s ass was very willing to take him, but seemed reluctant to let him go, which provided that most fascinating friction that had Yusuke about ready to come. Holding off his orgasm became more and more difficult as Hiei seemed to be approaching his.

“Oh oh, yes, Yusuke. Yes! Give me that cock. Give it to me!” Hiei rambled as Yusuke continued to ram into him. “Give… give… ah… ah… Ahh!” He shot his load out onto his stomach.

“Oh damn, Hiei!” Yusuke cried as he pulled out, spraying part of his fluids on Hiei’s balls and ass.

After a few moments of hard breathing, Hiei said, “I don’t know what just happened now.”

“Me neither, but I think we’d better look into it. It seems to be a reoccurring problem,” Yusuke muttered. His mouth was dry. “I, uh, didn’t hurt you did I?” Hiei shook his sleepy looking head. Yusuke slipped two fingers between ass cheeks, probed his anus. They went in easy, slicked with his semen. He didn’t feel any tears and there wasn’t any blood, nor did Hiei seem to be in any pain-- in fact he was falling asleep.

Yusuke went to pull his fingers out, but Hiei caught his hand, muttered sleepily, “No, ’s good…”

Yusuke was puzzled, but nonetheless continued to move his fingers gently in and out of Hiei’s body until the smaller apparition fell asleep. After that Yusuke got a wet wash rag and made them both more presentable and then he called Kurama to come pick Hiei up in his car.
* * *
It was about as gloomy as any day could be. It had been raining since the night before so it was damp as well as very cold outside. Because of that Kurama wouldn’t allow Hiei to go out walking. Thus Hiei pouted, making the day all the gloomier.

Hiei tossed the remote down on couch after having flipped through all the channels on the TV and finding nothing but reruns. His ill-tempered grunt caught Kurama’s attention. He put down his book and said, “I could run down to the video store and find something you’d like. If you’d like something special for dinner I can pick that up too.”

“Don’t bother. I don’t’ want anything,” Hiei snorted. As Karma stood up he added, “But if you’re going to the kitchen I’d like some potato chips and mustard. If we’re out of chips some relish on saltines is good too-- but it better be dill relish, not that sweet crap!”

“Of course. I won’t make that mistake twice,” Kurama grinned to himself. Hiei was half through his second month. His cravings were coming in full swing and becoming stranger by the day. Yesterday he asked him for French fries and chocolate ice cream. On the bright side he seemed to be keeping it down better these past few days. His morning sickness phase must be on the wane. That had been hard on Kurama, every morning having to stand outside the bathroom, listening to Hiei retch and not being able to do a thing for him.

“By the way,” he called from the kitchen, “I got a call from Kuwabara today. Yukina’s doing well, I’m sure you’ll be glad to know. Anyway the ladies are planning a baby shower on Saturday and they want you to come.”

“Why would I want to go to go shower babies,” Hiei grouched.

“A baby shower is a party in which people celebrate the coming of a new baby and bring gifts for the mother and child,” Kurama explained. “And you should go because half of this shower is for you. It was Yukina’s idea, actually. She was apparently very adamant about wanting so share the shower with you.”

Hiei was quiet for a moment. Then out of the blue he asked, “Do we have any ham?”

“No, but I can run out for some. What kind you want?”

“Honey baked, sliced for a sandwich,” Hiei said, “Oh and get some pine apple rings too… and some mozzarella cheese.”

Without a second thought, Kurama donned his raincoat. “I’ll have my phone on me if you think of anything else you need, while I’m out.”

Hiei didn’t call him, so it was a quick shopping trip. He got the ham, cheese and pineapple, as well as a jar of cherries. He thought Hiei would like them on his sandwich, even though he didn’t ask for them.

“Well look who it is; my favorite redhead,” a feminine draw addressed him.

“Shizuru, what brings you out here on a day like this?” Kurama asked, surprised to see the woman out on such a stormy day.

“Probably the same thing that’s got you out, fox-boy. Craving run.” Shizuru fiddled with the ends of her hair. It was nervous habit she had whenever she couldn’t have a cigarette. With a pregnant Yukina living in her house, needless to say, she was wanting for a cigarette often. “So you how’s your little ‘mama’ coming along? He getting his mood swings yet?”

“Hiei always has been a little moody,” Kurama said with a smile.

Shizuru laughed, “Yeah, but these are pregnant mood swings. There’s nothing like ‘em. I remember when my mom was having Kazuma. One minute she’d be balling like a baby, for no apparent reason, and the next she’d be dragging my dad into the bedroom. And when he came out he was limping. Ah, good times.”

“Well yes, I heard pregnancy can do that to a person,” Kurama blushed a bit at the subject. “But Hiei seems to be handling himself fine, other than a few weird food cravings.”

“Does he dip his potato chips in sweat and sour sauce, too? Yukina does that.”

“No, he uses mustard.”

They laughed at that. “Oh here, why don’t you buy him some of these?” Shizuru handed him a box of ice-cream sandwiches. “Give him one of these and he’ll craw up on your lap and purr like kitty. It works with like a charm with Yukina, especially when she‘s getting her preggy blues.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” Kurama chuckled, getting a mental image of Hiei curled up on his lap like a kitty. Kurama said good-bye to Shizuru, finished his shopping and headed home. He decided to get the ice-cream sandwiches, not because he wanted Hiei curled up on his lap or to cure his ‘preggy blues’ as Shizuru had called them. But because he thought Hiei would like them. Tell the truth, Kurama really couldn’t see Hiei getting all weepy eyed, pregnant or not. He‘s been irritable, but weepy?.

Kurama opened the door to his house. The lights were all off and it was dead quiet. “Hiei?” He called worried.

He heard a sniff coming from under a blanket on the couch, “Kurama?”

“H-Hiei? What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Kurama rushed across the room, forgetting the groceries in the foyer.

“Just leave me alone,” Hiei sniffed.

“Oh dear, preggy-blues,” Kurama muttered. “Uh, wait, I know just the thing!” It was all he could think to do. He dashed to grocery bag and received an ice-cream sandwich, “Its just the hormones talking. Here, try one of these. It’ll make you feel better and….”

“More rational,” Hiei finished it suddenly angry, “Don’t go talking about my hormones, you jerk! You thinking you’re so level headed all the time-- you have no idea what I’m going through. I’ve peed at least twenty times today! And I have….”

Kurama pinched the bridge of his nose. It was hard to keep up with Hiei‘s moods, “Eat the ice-cream.” He more or less shoved the treat into the small demon’s mouth.

Hiei paused for a moment as the flavor spread through his mouth. He brought his hands up to take hold of the treat. “It’s good,” He muttered.

“Oh thank you, Shizuru. I‘m buying you diamonds for Christmas, you angel.” Kurama muttered to himself.

After Hiei finished his ice-cream he sat back on the couch. He still looked distraught about something. Kurama put his hand on his shoulder, “Hiei is there something bothering you?” When Hiei didn’t respond he added, “Hiei I can’t do what you want if you don’t tell me.”

“Anal.”

“Pardon?”

Hiei gritted his teeth and blushed, “I’m horny as hell and I want anal.”

“Oh!” Kurama exclaimed, noticing for the first time the raging boner in Hiei’s pants. Kurama understood the need well enough. Hiei’s hormones were making him horny, as is common for the condition. And with the lack of a vagina for penetration, of course, the need could only be fulfilled though anal. “You want me to….”

“Drive me over to Yusuke’s so I can seduce him again,” Hiei said dryly, “Yes, I know you can’t do that. Yusuke is committed to that Yukimura girl and I probably complicated that enough for him with the past two liaisons I’ve had with him-- And no, I’m not shy about telling you about the second one around a month ago, seeing that I’m sure you know already know about it. I reeked of his spunk when you came to pick me up… I still can’t believe that idiot called you! Anyway, I‘ll just have to--”

His words were abruptly cut off by Kurama’s lips crushing into his. Kurama breathed into his mouth, “I could’ve done that for you, all you have to do was ask.”

“You would… do that, with ME?” Hiei was aghast.

“In the time you’ve been here with me, have I ever failed to indulge your every whim?” Kurama said as he slid his hands under Hiei’s knees and behind his back. He picked him up easily and swept toward the stairs. In moments he was in his bedroom, laying Hiei out on his wide bed.

Without a pause, he lifted the oversized sweat shirt, which Hiei had taken to wearing, off over his head. Kurama could immediately see the changes that Hiei’s condition had wrought on his body. He used to have a thin waist, rippled with a hard six-pack abdominals. The muscles have gone soft now. His skin was smooth there and unmistakably round.

Hiei crossed his arms over his belly, self-consciously. Kurama moved his arms and kissed him delicately above the naval. “You’re beautiful.”

“I appreciate your intentions, but that’s not exactly the adjective I was looking for,” Hiei murmured.

Kurama kept his face down so Hiei didn’t see him smile. He set to work sliding Hiei’s sweat pants down his lean thighs. The muscles here were still intact, but the skin as none the less smooth. Kurama contemplated this as he stroked Hiei’s thighs, form knee to hip. Then, knowing Hiei couldn’t wait much longer, he reached down and grasped his painfully swollen shaft.

“Ah!” Hiei jumped at the initial touch. “Kurama, y-you don’t have to do this. I can handle it myself.”

“Would that satisfy you?” Kurama asked rhetorically. No reply was necessary, nor did he receive one.

Kurama flipped Hiei over onto his hands and knees. He wished he had some lubricant in the house. But he didn’t, he’d have to make do with spit. He slicked his fingers and without farther ado moved them to Hiei’s orifice-- and to his surprise met little resistance. Hiei’s cravings for sex apparently weren’t just psychological. His body really wanted it and it was ready!

“I’m going to put it in now,” Kurama warned, as he unzipped his fly and took his penis out. Hiei only uttered a small whimper as Kurama, pressed his length fully into his hot channel.

Kurama felt momentarily dizzy from the heat and pressure that encased his shaft. He’d had anal sex before, both as the giver and the taker. At his age there wasn’t much he hadn’t tried. Oh but it had been so long ago, he’d forgotten how it felt. Was an ass always this hot? Did it always pulse so deviously around this cock? Or was it just Hiei?

“Hiei, what’s a matter? You don’t seem to be enjoying this,” Kurama said stroking Hiei’s shaft. It was still hard so he was obviously horny, but he was quiet and somewhat contrite.

Hiei clinched his teeth-- and other things-- and hissed, “Excuse me, if I’m not overjoyed that I’m getting fucked out of… obligation!”

“Obligation…“ Kurama said. His voice was nearly a growl as he dug his fingers painfully into Hiei‘s hips, “Do you know how many friends I have, true friends who know what I truly am and accept me? You alone have fathomed the darkest pits of my soul and yet you don’t shrink away from me in disgust.”

“I’d be a hypocrite if I did, Youko,” Hiei shot back.

“Nonetheless, do you realize how precious that makes you to me?” Kurama told him giving his hip another painful squeezed, “Hiei, when I do something for you, never assume it’s out of obligation. I want to do it. This especially.” Kurama ground his hips into Hiei’s bottom to make his point.

“Ha-ah!” Hiei moaned, “Okay, okay, I’ll never question your intentions again! Just….”

“As much as want,” Kurama smirked and laid a kiss on the back of Hiei’s neck.

Kurama made love to him three times before Hiei fell asleep. He really had let his need go unfilled for far too long. Kurama berated him between his second blowjob and his third fucking, that letting his sexual tension build up too much was bad for the baby.

The baby… that was an opaque concept. Hiei was going to have a baby. He was experiencing the condition of pregnancy and knew what was coming. But he couldn’t imagine it, him caring for a helpless little creature… his creature, his flesh and blood, his child. Even at the moment, lying naked in a bed next to his best friend, rubbing his palm over his growing belly, Hiei still couldn’t wrap his head around it.
* * *
The baby shower, Hiei wound up having to attend it after all. How could he not? It was, after all, half for him. The affair was much like one held about a month and a half ago for Yukina’s birthday, except it was being held in the Kuwabara household, rather than Genkai’s compound. Upon entering the home, Hiei was pleased to see Yukina, seated in a comfy armchair with both Kuwabara and his sister, Shizuru, doting on her like a princess on a throne. Yes, in spite of his previous doubts, she would be well taken care of.

He heard a clatter in the kitchen, followed by cursing. It was Yusuke’s mother, Atsuko. Yusuke’s voice followed soon after, urging the woman to calm down. Odd, that they’d put something as all important as cooking in that woman’s hands, while the more competent Keiko was resigned to setting out paper cups with Botan.

“Oh there’s our other little mama,” Botan chirped when she saw Kurama and Hiei come in. Hiei wanted to say something about being called a ‘mama’, but a quick glace from Kurama warned him off.

“Hello, Botan, we’re so glad you could make it, coming all the way from Spirit World and all,” Kurama said in that polite monotone manner that he’d perfected through his lifetime as a human.

Hiei snorted. Botan didn’t pay it any mind, she instructed, “Why don’t you take a seat over there in the chair next to Yukina’s. Now that you’re here, we can get started with the games.”

“Games?” Hiei didn’t like the sound of that.

“Oh yes, you can’t have a baby shower without games,” Botan told him, “After that we eat and then before we all leave, we give you your presents.”

“Presents?” The notion made Hiei even more nervous than the mention of games. . Hiei wasn’t used to getting gifts and didn’t know how to react.

“Just take whatever they hand you and say thank you,” Kurama whispered to Hiei, understanding the nature of his friends distress.

“Right,” Hiei nodded.

“And whatever happens next, just smile and go along.”

“Huh?”

“All right everyone, lets get this party started!” Botan called out.

The games were a heralding experience for Hiei. They had a tournament to see who could diaper a baby doll the fastest. They played ‘the Baby Animal game, in which the players were required to think of proper term for a particular animal young. They were all doomed to loose that one to Kurama. They did karaoke to pop songs with the word baby in it. Hiei was pushed into muddling through Britney Spear’s Hit Me Baby One More Time. They played a deranged version of pin the tail on the donkey; pin the sperm on the egg. And to polish it all off the guests placed bets on who had the bigger tummy, Yukina or Hiei. And then they measured them. Yukina was fractionally rounder, by the way.

Hiei slipped outside. After all the indignantly, he needed some fresh air. All too soon he felt the tingle of another’s presence, surly to drag him back inside so that the masses could poke and prod at his swollen belly and asking stupid questions like ‘is it kicking?’

“Just give me minute, will you,” Hiei growled.

“Whoa, retract the claws. I come in peace,” Yusuke stepped around the corner of the porch, his hands raised in surrender. “I was just coming to see you were alright. You’re not about to loose your lunch are ya?”

“Only if I have to play another one of those stupid games,” Hiei groaned.

“I think they’re just about done with those,” Yusuke laughed. He wouldn’t be laughing if it was HIS belly they were measuring. “They’re doing one more round of baby karaoke. Then lunch is gonna be served, you’ll like that, I did most of the cooking so it’s pretty eatable.”

Hiei relaxed. “I’ll be in, in a minute. You go ahead. If you stay out here too long your female is bound to come looking for you and probably bring half the party with her.”

“Yeah, uh… not too likely,” Yusuke starched his head, “I kinda had another reason for following you out here. Hiei I….” Yusuke was lost for words. He gave it up, shaking his head, gasped Hiei by the shoulders and kissed him firmly on the lips.

Hiei’s body, being in the state he was, responded to the stimuli almost instantly. His rod stiffened and more distressingly his hole tingled with anticipation of action. “What about your female?” Hiei gasped, “Are you so ready to cheat on her again?”

Yusuke squirmed, “Me and Keiko never really were going out… officially that is. I asked her before, but she always says, ‘why would I want to go out with a bum like you?’”

“She was only teasing you and you know that,” Hiei hissed.

“Yeah I know. I guess I’m just trying to justify… this.” Yusuke gave Hiei‘s bottom a squeeze. Hiei gasped and arched his body into Yusuke‘s. “I can’t stop thinking about it, those times we…. Keiko‘s a nice girl, and a great friend, and she was convenient. But she‘s just not for me. I already told her that, so she’s a little miffed at me right now, but I think she’ll forgive me pretty soon.”

“What are you saying?” Hiei shook his head. The man was speaking gibberish.

“I’m saying, it‘s you, Hiei. It’s always been you. I see that now. I‘m never happier and, I don’t know, myself than when I‘m with you.” Yusuke told him.

“Just because had sex--” Hiei bit his tongue. He said the word, it as real now.

“It’s not just because we had sex,” Yusuke protested, “Well, it helped. After I found out we could get physical with each other… and how much I enjoyed it, I realized how much and in what way I want to be with you.” He stroked his hands down Hiei’s back, and up sliding under his shirt, caressing the curve at his lower back.

“Hah,” Hiei gasped, “I don’t understand.” It was a question Hiei soon forgot as Yusuke’s hand dipped down the back of Hiei’s pants, into his warm little cleft to probe at his hole. Hiei moaned and lost any will to fight what was about to happen… again.

Yusuke turned Hiei around so he could brace himself of the porch railing. Yusuke worked his pants down just enough so that his round little bum was in view. Then Yusuke lowered his fly.

“Someone might see,” Hiei warned.

“No one’s coming,” Yusuke assured him, “Unless, you don’t want to.”

“I want to,” Hiei said hastily. Like he had a choice now. His balls were aching with the need for release and his dick was so stiff, there was no way he’d get it back in his pants. Not to mention he could already feel the muscles contracting in his rear entrance with anticipation of being filled. No, he needed it now. “Damn you,” He cursed.

“I love you,” Yusuke whispered into his ear before sticking the head of his cock into Hiei’s hole.

Hiei bit his lip to suppress the moan Yusuke evoked by rolling the burning hot tip of his shaft just inside his gapping hole. “Don’t… don’t fool around. You think I want to be caught like this? Hurry up and make me come so we can put our clothes back on.”

“Boy, Hiei you sure know how to sweet-talk a guy,” Yusuke grinned. He snapped his hips, angling his thrust so that it would enviably strike Hiei in the prostate.

“NGH!” Hiei shoved his fist in his mouth to stifle the scream that erupted from his throat. He kept it there because before he could move it, Yusuke delivered another blow to his sweet-spot.

“I-I don’t know why we didn’t think… to do this years ago,” Yusuke panted as he drove on into Hiei’s body. His hand snaked around Hiei’s hip it grasp his neglected erection and stroked it earnestly.

Hiei didn’t answer. He was barely in the state of mind to register Yusuke’s words let alone reply. All he could do was bite his own hand to muffle out his moans and brace his body to receive every delicious blow Yusuke gave him. He tasted blood. He’d broken the skin where he’d been biting himself. That was when the dam broke. A grunt spilled from his lips shakily. It sounded as if it came from deep within his body, like his muscles creaking as they clinched from his orgasm. His essence shot out of him hard, spattering on the railing.

“Oh damn!” Yusuke startled at Hiei’s quick release. He quickened his pace, taking advantage of Hiei’s clinching body. He chanted, low in his throat, “Hiei Hiei Hiei!” In a few short moments he stilled and Hiei felt a flash of warmth flooding his passage.

“You-- you didn’t, mmm!” Hiei shuttered and to his chagrin he came again.

“Oh, Hiei,” Yusuke cooed. His member made a soft sucking noise as he withdrew. He sunk to his knees behind Hiei, laid a set of tender kisses, one on each buttock. He turned Hiei around to face him, licked up a pearl of cum that still clung to the tip of his member. “Hiei, I want to be your baby-daddy. Will you marry me?”

“What?” Hiei’s eyes widened. “Have you lost your mind?”

“No. And don’t say I’m being rash,” Yusuke said, “I’ve been thinking this out for a month, remember? I want to marry you… raise a family.” He touched Hiei’s swollen middle.

“That’s--” Hiei started to reply sharply then stopped. “I don’t know.”

“Think about it,” Yusuke said, giving Hiei his devil-may-care smile. He fixed Hiei’s clothes. “This… we’ll just call it a diversion.” Yusuke strolled off, presumably to rejoin the party.

After a short breather, Hiei returned the party. They were just getting ready to serve the shower lunch when Yukina, stood up and said, “I have an exciting announcement to make.” She continued when she had everyone’s attention, “I just found out that I’m not going to have a baby… I’m having two babies! Twins!”

“Twins?!” Hiei nearly spit his water.

“Oh my gosh, congratulations!” Keiko said, “How’d you find out?”

“We’ll I was sort of getting concerned, because I was getting bigger faster than I should have been. So I asked Botan to check me out,” Yukina explained, “And well, she sensed two lives inside me rather than one. This accounts for the extra weight.”

“Imagine my surprise,” Botan picked it up, “Ice maidens are not known for bearing twins-- It’s practically unheard of.”

“Well I was a twin,” Yukina reminded her, “But unlike most I had a father. There’s running theory that he was a fire apparition, and twins are common to that kind.”

“That’s right,” Botan snapped her fingers. Something occurred to her and she glanced over at Hiei, “Uh, Hiei, we measured and you’re not much smaller than Yukina.” Slowly she extended her hand and laid it on Hiei’s middle. Then she smiled.

“No…” Hiei‘s face slackened.

“Congratulations Hiei! You’re going be a mother twice!”

The next thing Hiei knew the room tilted. He heard people calling his name. He berated himself ahead of time. Hiei of the Jagan, master of the Darkness Flame, feared power of the demon frame, fainted.
* * *
Hiei woke up and Kurama was sitting at the foot of the bed. After his embarrassing swoon at the party, Kurama had taken him home and put him to bed for a nap. Hiei felt somewhat refreshed-- if not still embarrassed.

“It was quite a surprise,” Kurama said, pawing at Hiei’s cheeks and temples as if checking his temperature. “Hah, I thought I was going to faint, too! But if I had, who would have carried you home, hm?”

“Maybe I could be someone else’s burden,” Hiei muttered.

“I never used the word burden,” Kurama said patiently, “Nor did I even think it, so curb that mood swing before it even starts.”

Hiei’s face flushed red with anger. He hated it when Kurama talked about his so-called ‘mood swings’. “That wasn’t what I meant, I, um. I received more than one shock today, not he least being the news about the… the…”

“Twins,” Kurama supplied, “You’d better get used to the idea, there’s going to be two of them. On that subject, I think we need to start talking about what you plan to do after they’re born. I know you said before you’d return to the Makai after you gave birth, but now you’re having two, you might want to rethink that. I mean a single parent with two small children in Makai….”

“Yusuke asked me to marry him today,” Hiei said point blank.

Kurama‘s expression darkened, “He did? Was that before or after you fucked?”

Hiei’s eyed widened momentarily with surprise then he grunted, “Cursed fox nose.”

“You’re not seriously considering it are you?”

Hiei shrugged, “If I took him up on it, I’d have a place to live in the human world, a means of support and help with the children.”

“Is that the only reason?”

“Well, he asked. I didn’t expected to be proposed to by anyone.”

Kurama’s fingers gripped the comforter over Hiei’s lap. “You’d marry someone, just because he asked? Then why not me?”

“Kurama?” Hiei scrunched his brow. He didn’t understand what Kurama was saying.

Kurama took his hand and looked into his eyes with the sort of severity the fox seldom displayed, “Hiei, will you marry me?”

“What are you saying?” Hiei shouted, “You’re Youko Kurama, you could have anyone! You don’t want me.”

“But I do. I’ve always been enamored by your straight forward attitude. And I’ve become more since discovering your sensual side,” Kurama told him, folding his arms around Hiei’s neck. “Now that I know you’re open to the prospect of marriage, I want to put my bid in. The least you could do is hear me out.”

One of Kurama’s hands strayed down between Hiei’s legs, cupped his balls. If Hiei had a gauge on him for arousal, it would have gone shot from zero to do-me-now! Damned pregnancy hormones, Hiei cursed himself even as his hips started undulating with Kurama’s deliberate stroking motions.

Kurama stripped Hiei of his clothing seemingly without having to ceasing in his sinuous teasing. Hiei wasn’t sure if it was precision or pure sorcery. It wasn’t until Kurama climbed naked between his legs that Hiei managed to find his voice.

“T-this isn’t an answer, you know that?” He said sternly.

“Of course not,” Kurama said, “Just showing you some of what I have to offer. Yusuke is a worthily foe, I’ll admit that and let the best man win.”

Kurama made love to him. It was so much different than the tryst he had with Yusuke earlier in the day. It was unrushed, without the fear of discovery in the act. The excitement and that naughty feeling were missing. But Kurama gave him a different sort of excitement, small, slow pleasures with the promise and anticipation of greater ones to come. Oh he was good, but then so was Yusuke, just different. By the morning light, Hiei still couldn’t say which was the better match for him. The decision of course would have to hinge on more than just sexual performance. He had time. His babies wouldn’t be born for another month and a half.

TBC…
A/N: A lot of lemon in this chapter, is it too much? I was thinking of editing one out, and put in more pregnancy humor. But for plot reasons that I don’t want to spoil, it was important that Hiei have at least two encounters with each of them. One encounter can be coincidental, and just doesn’t put enough salt in the wound. The following chapters will come out pretty fast. I’ve taken to writing out the entire story and posting as I go thought the final edit. This means there might be a greater lag between stories, but less time to wait for chapters. As always reviews are appreciated and I’ll se ya next time.
