All Yu Yu Hakusho Characters belong to the makers and producers of such show, I have no ownership of them. All Rurouni Kenshin characters belong to the producers and makers of the show, I have no ownership of them eihter. All Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowlings, again I have no ownership. I only claim onto Rain and the story line.

Christmas morning dawned bright and the sun reflected off the snow. It had been decided, that since there was such a big group that all presents would be opened downstairs in the Gryffindor common room. Most presents had been placed under a tree that was decorated in the common room and those that had been put in rooms were just brought down.

Draco arrived carrying two spare gifts, coming from the Slytherin dungeon. Hermione blushed when he sat next to her, kissed her cheek and wished her a merry christmas. Rain came skipping down the stairs, followed by Hermione, Yukina and Boton, who were bunking with them. She stopped next to Kurama, who meerly reached up and pulled her into his lap for a morning kiss. Quickly the wizards, Kenshingumi and Team Urameshi all settled down to hand out presents. Koenma was the present giver, seeing as he was the only 'god' in the room.

The first gift that Rain recieved was from Yusuke and Keiko. It was a plushie of a many tailed fox, silver in color. She loved it. Next from Boton and Koenma (raised eyebrows over them giving gifts together, they claim it is cause they are the only ones there from Spirit World and it made sense to do it that way, yeah right. HEHE). Rain got a protection ward to wear and one to hang from her bed, to be used to protect her and the baby. Next from the Kenshingumi, Kenshin and Sano darted from the room at this point and came back with a handmade, wooden cradle. Along the headboard was a sword, fox and a wand with sparks coming out of it, carved into the wood. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Draco had all pitched in and got her the newest Nimbus, telling her tshe she was not allowed to use it till after she gave birth, as she really liked to fly. Kuwabara suprised everyone by getting her a book on motherhood meditations, things to ponder while life growed within her.

Yukina and Hiei give her a necklace with their three tear gems in a small circle. They show her that they have matching ones, having broken each gemstone into three pieces each and mounted them. From Kurama, who saved his for last Rain recieves a gift certificate to a maternity store, a necklace done in 24 carot gold, formed to look like a pregnant woman. The belly is a flawless mother of pearl, with hands wrapped underneath it. He gives Rain, Hiei and Yukina a triple gift. Three dragons. Rain's is a small dragon statue of blue flickering flame. Yukina's is an identical dragon, only made of pure ice, which won't melt. Finally Hiei's is a black flame dragon of the same pose. The triplets all love their dragons from Kurama.

Rain and Ka haa had decided to go together and get gifts for their friends as a couple. For Kenshin, they got him a new Obi of dark blue silk. Kaoru got, much to everyone's amusement, a cookbook (translated into Japanese) called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Japanese Cooking." Yahiko got a set of platform shoes, as he loved the ones that Ron wore for Halloween. Misao got makeup, which caused her to blush and turn away from an amused Aoshi. Aoshi got a black robe of fiilk.ilk. Sanosuke got a Book of Irish Dialects* which he adored.

Much to everyone's amusement, Kuwabara got a Remembrall, Yukina got a small white snow owl. Hiei got a book that had a cover like Kaoru's with a different title. "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Complete Idiot." in hopes that he would better understand Kuwabara. Yusuke was given a small photo album of wizarding photos taken during his week there, the first being a picture of the first time he shot Peeves with his Spirit Gun.

Keiko got a wizard style cloak of dark blue, the clasp was enchanted silver to look like Yusuke's spirit gun bolt. Boton got a miniture oar that flew around her head, she adored that. Koenma got a gag gift, a Pooh pacifier holder, that clipped to his pacifier on one end and his shirt on the r. r. It took about five minutes for everyone to stop laughing after seeing the look on his face with that one.

For Ginny and Hermione, they got identical necklaces with the arcticfire gemstone, similar to Rain's. Harry, Ron and Draco got new cloak clasps with Harry's being a golden snitch with an arcticfire in the center and Ron's a broomstick, the gem on the tail and Draco's an eastern style dragon with the gem as the eye.

Rain then grinned at Yusuke, who looked damn uncomfortable and handed him a gift she had been hiding. "Now Yusuke, I promised you a gift for covering for me last month. So here it is." He held the long box as if it was a bomb and the rest laughed. Cautiously he opened the wrapping and then the box itself and burst into laughter when he saw what was inside. Rain had taken a GI Joe (barbie size) doll, transfigured it to look like Yusuke. Dressed him in a green outfit. As Yusuke picked the doll from the box it said in his voice, "My name is Urameshi, I'm a Spirit Detective. FEAR ME!" Followed by Yusuke's laugh. It then repeated it in Japanese. The rest of the group sat, staring at the doll and then the room burst into laughter as Yusuke excitedly made the doll talk again.

To Kurama,n gan gave him a few books. "Pregnancy and the Demon" "Youko Spawn: How to be a father when your mate has a litter." "Dealing with Demonic Mood Swings: A guide for the Expectant Father Youki." She also got him a cloak of black cloth. The clasp is of rose colored gold and silver. A rose encircled by a many tailed silver fox. Arcticfire gem stone had been broken into three pieces with one each as the center of the rose and the two eyes on the fox.

Kurama gave Rain a loving smile at his gifts, although he did laugh at the book's titles.

It took a few good hours to get all gifts opened, as there were many people there. Finally they finished and all went down for breakfast. After Breakfast, Yusuke and Kurama nodded to each other and asked Keiko and Rain to go outside with them. They settled their girls on a bench (seperately) in the courtyard, each couple out of hearing and seeing difference.

Yusuke was fidgetting and finally Keiko, having been watching a bird playing in the snow turned to him. "What is wrong, Yusuke?" He sighed and thought 'This is as good a time as any.' Keiko was stunned into silence when Yusuke dropped to one knee in the snow and pulled out a box. "Keiko, as much as we have been through, through it all you have been beside me. You have brought me back to life, held me as I recovered from wounds, went to the dark tournament to support me. My love for you has grown daily. I know that I am not the most romantic or best man out there, but I was hoping that you would marry me.

With that he opened the box and Keiko's eyes filled when she saw the ring. It was a large, 1 carat diamond, surrounded by a circle of 10 small light blue diamonds. 24ct gold band held it in place with the sides moving towards the stone in small waves. K rai raised tear filled eyes to Yusuke's and he felt a moment of panic until she screeched and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tight. He breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her to him. He heard her whisper "Yes" over and over to him. He smiled at her in rf anf and kissed her before slipping the ring onto her finger.

Meanwhile, not that far away. Kurama was staring at Rain and she was curled up in his arms. Both were trying to think of the best way to say what they had to say. Finally Kurama pulled from her and sighed. "I have something to ask you. And please don't think I am saying this because of the baby, I decided to do this before the baby was conceived." Rain nodded, a bit confused and then her mouth fell open as he pulled out a box. "Rain, I love you more then anything in the three worlds, will you marry me?" With that he pulled out a box and opened it. It was a large emerald with small rubies running down the side of a platinum band. Demonic script weaves through the gems with the name of Yoko Kurama on one side and Arcticfire on the other. Meeting in the center with Kurama ending in a blaze of sapphire flame and Arcticfire ending in a jade vine, both encircling the Emerald, crossing over with the rubies.

Rain raised her eyes to his and he saw hesitation there. She was very serious as she spoke "Before I give you my answer, I want to tell you something." He nodded, hesitently and she sighed and took his free hand, placing it over her stomach. "Concentrate and tell me what you feel."

He frowned and closed his eyes, searching with his spirit energy, what he felt almost sent him falling off the bench in shock. Three small, yet distinct, spirit energy's rested within Rain's womb. His eyes raised to hers as she spoke softly "We seem to be having a litter." He burst out laughing and smiled lovingly into her eyes "The offer still stands, we can be having three or thirty and I would still want to marry you." She frowned at him "Well, hopefully not thirty." He nodded and kissed her nose. She in turn smiled very sweetly at him "In that case, yes, Kurama, I will marry you."

He smiled lovingly into her eyes and kissed her as he slipped the ring onto her finger. He pulled back after a long moment and his eyes returned to her abdomen and he smiled with delight as he put his hand on it, feeling the spirit energy there, now that he knew it was there.

Hearinotstotsteps behind them, he looked over his shoulder to see a very happy Yusuke and Keiko. He rose, pulling Rain up with him. Both girls saw the ring on the others finger and gave a scream, running to each other and hugging, tearing up. They then held out their hands to each other and admired each other's ring. Yusuke and Kurama stood back, both smiling uneasily at this and then Kurama turned to look at Yusuke. "Seems I had another present coming too." "Yeah, what's that?"

Kurama's smile got wider and he said low to Yusuke "Rain is having triplets." Yusuke just stared at Kurama and then looked at the glowing Rain. "Man, I hope Keiko never has to give birth to triplets." Both boys burst into laughter at this.

Rain heard Kurama's words, although Keiko didn't. "Keiko." Keiko looked up from admiring Rain's ring "Yes?" Rain leaned down and whispered into Keiko's ear. Keiko's head shot back and she stared at Rain "Are you ok?" Rain gave a nod "Yes, I will be fine."

Keiko nodded and looked to Kurama and then to Rain "But he is much larger then you, and so is his demon form." Rain nodded again "It will work out, don't worry." Keiko nodded "Congratulations." Both girls suddenly smiled at each other "Let's go in and tell the others."

As a group, both couples went in the castle and as they walked into the common room, where all their friends were located, all heads turned to them as they shouted "We are engaged." At once, all the girls in the room jumped up and ran to them, hugging and oooing over the rings. After the noice had settled, Rain looked at Yukina and smiled "Kurama knows." Yukina smiled, so did Boton and Keiko "Good, what did he say?"

Rain looks over to where Kurama is being congratulated by Kenshin "He is happy." Misao spoke up "About what?" Rain smiled and caught the look on Keiko's face, she looked so excited for Rain that she was going to bust. "Keiko, if you want to tell, go for it." Keiko smiled wy any and said to the group of girls "Rain is having triplets." Misao yelled out "TRIPLETS?"

The whole room went silent, as even the guys looked over at them. Eyes moved from Rain's calm features to the large grin on Kurama's face. The room burst into laughter as Sano said to Kurama "Dang Kurama, you don't do things half baked do you?"


(A/N And there you go, next up, the tournament. That will probably be a few chapters. Sorry it took so long to get up, got a couple sick kids here. Pink eye. Anyways. Hope you all enjoyed.

* - In Samurai X: The Motion Picture, when they are having the fight on the dock with the sailor's, Sanosuke says "Well, Blimey, I'm in a bit of a tight spot." in this Irish accent, at least we think it's Irish. That just totally cracked up my little group of friends that hangs out at my house and one of them suggested that I give Sano a book on Irish Dialect as a gift due to that part of the show.

Now, on to the reviews.

Dunken - I loved that last chapter too. Not sure on the kids sex yet, I will probably roll a 4 sided dice or something to see. Dice are my best friend, help me when i am indecisive. HEHE. And they had figured out it was triplets. I will be sending you a new story idea soon, watch for it in your e-mail hon.

Mija - Hmmmm, I have to read your fics, I should go and do that later. Thanks for the reviews, and I will have to think on more things to tell you about the supernatural. So many things to do. Thanks for the review hon.

Rui _ai _agra - Yeah, the last chapter was pretty funny, I laughed the whole time i wrote it. Thanks for the review on the star trek crossover, I will continue to write that, but it might be on a back burno I o I can finish this one and the other two, Ravens and Fun with Demons, which I really need to update. Thanks for the review.

Lauren - Glad you liked that chapter. I am looking forward to writing the tournament. I don't do fight scenes too often, which is why the bad guy never showed up in the first semester, I have been procrastinating on it. Bad Everqueen, Bad. Ja ne!

And there you have it, till next time, be safe my lovlies. Everqueen)
