Oh Baby

Hiei walked out of the room that he and Mana we're sharing that night. Hiei felt a bit relaxed, knowing that little baby boy didn't move as much in his sleep, only the turning and kick the covers off. Hiei found himself laughing at him as he tried to find some warmth. Hiei found that sleeping with Mana was more relaxing then anything so far, but being hungry in the morning wasn't relaxing to him.
He walked down the hall and the stairs to get to the kitchen, he found plenty of fruits on the table and took an apple for himself and a banana for Mana. Hiei looked around the room more, upon looking he found the sink-side was full of washed bottles, but for who?. Hiei thought of what a bottle would be used for was quiet brain rattling. He didn't have to wait that long, for just as he was going to mess with things Yusuke walked in and grabbed an apple.
Hiei: Baka, what are the bottles used for?
Yusuke looked at the sink and laughed a bit.
Yusuke: That's for Mana.
Hiei was confused.
Hiei: why would Mana want that? What will he do with it?
Yusuke almost choked on the apple piece he bit off.
Yusuke: your kidding right, he might need it for when he's---
Yusuke was cut off my a sudden crying by the hallway. Hiei walked out of the kitchen and saw Mana rubbing his eyes as he sniffled. Hiei picked up Mana and walked in to the kitchen.
Hiei: are you hungry, little one?
Hiei asked with some worry in his voice. Mana nodded and hugged his neck as he sniffled softly. Hiei piled the banana and gave it to him.
Hiei: Here.
Mana looked at it but didn't eat it, only threw it to the ground and started to cry again. Yusuke sighed and walked over to the sink and took a bottle from there and went to the refrigerator and took the milk out. He walked to the counter. He poured the milk into the bottle and put the top on it and took it to Mana.
Yusuke: Here you go, Mana. I bet you were really hungry this morning, huh?
Mana took the bottle from Yusuke and started to drink it. Yusuke smiled and petted his head as Hiei glared at Yusuke. Hiei felt somewhat hurt, he thought he and Mana had some sort of connation, but he guess it wasn't as he thought. Mana let the bottle go and out stretched his little arms. Hiei looked at him and sighed as he picked up the olive hair boy and took him to the living room and gently set him on the couch.
The couch was so fluffy he had trouble staying standing up on it. Kurama walked out of his room and walk in to the living room and looked at Hiei. Hiei sat on the couch with Mana and watched him fall a few times before he thought it was a pain in the ass to stand up on the couch.
Kurama: Good morning, Hiei. How are you?
Hiei: okay I suppose.
Mana looked up at Kurama and started to cry. The bottle fell out of his mouth. Kurama moved away from him quickly, while Hiei picked up Mana and patted his little back. Yusuke walked out and blinked.
Yusuke: Whoa what happened, why is Mana crying so loudly?
He asked covering his ears as he looked at Hiei, whom was trying to sooth Mana a bit. Kurama moved back more and covered his ears as Mana just started to scream louder.
Kurama: Make him stop!
Kurama yelled, as he moved back more hitting the wall as he did. Mana's scream/cry didn't stop. He moved to hide his face in between Hiei's neck.
Mana: MAMA WAAAAHHH!!!!!!!
Hiei continued to pat his back more and started to bounce him a bit, Mana stop scream, but started to cry. Soon that started to turn into sniffles, then silence. Hiei looked at Mana and blinked. The small boy was fast asleep in his arms holding on tightly on a few strands of hair, sniffling softly. Kurama Stared at them and looked away as he went to the kitchen. He wasn't sure why, but the baby scared him to no end. Why would the small baby cry when he was close. He wasn't sure and he wanted to find out. Kurama walked to the living room and saw Hiei walked up the stairs. He followed silently, frowning to himself as he thought more about why Mana was mean to him. Kurama watched as Hiei walked into the room then walked back out after putting Mana in bed. As Hiei walked out of the room Kuwabara came out and walked over to him.
Kuwabara: Hey shrimp, how's Mana, you two seem really close. It's like you grew a heart as soon as the baby come to live with us.
Hiei stood there and blinked as he started at Kuwabara. Hiei started to smirked.
Hiei: Yes, He seems better when he's asleep and out of my hair. He doesn't get into trouble when he's asleep. It's a bit annoying when he's awake, he's just as annoying as you.
Hiei waked off passing Kurama. Kurama sighed and looked at Kuwabara. Kurama walked over to Hiei's and Mana's room and walked in. He stared at the sleeping baby from a far and moved closer a bit. He sat on the bed and gently stroked Mana's Head. Mana moved a bit and nuzzled closer into Kurama's hand. Mana's little jaw moved as he grunted a bit. Kurama smiled softly and kissed his head gently.
Kurama:Why do you hate me, I only want to help, little one.
Kurama stood up and walked back out of the room, walking back to the Kitchen. Hiei sat on the window sill of the living room watching on the outside world, thinking about what the idiot said. Hiei looked over at the reflection of the pen and paper that Mana had use to color with. He smiled abit then shook his head. He needed to get away from the baby and fast he was getting too soft now. Hiei looked at Kurama as he came down from the stairs.
Hiei: Fox, can you make sure Mana is safe while I go to talk to the Deme brat.
Kurama blinked and looked at Hiei a bit. He slowly nodded and continued to the kitchen.

< (@.@<) five hours later... (>@.@) >

Hiei arrived back home and looked around He saw Mana laying on the couch sucking on his bottle. Hiei smiled a bit, but shook his head and walked over to the couch and picked up the olive haired boy.
Hiei: Bed time, runt.
Mana looked at Hiei, after he pulled out his bottle and yawned a bit.
Mana: Hai-ie! Hai-ie! ere ou go?(Hiei! Hiei! Where'd you go?)
Hiei pushed his head down on his shoulder and patted his back helping the small boy fall asleep on his shoulder. Kurama Walked out after feeling Hiei's kai(sp?) Yusuke and Kuwabara walked down the stairs and stared at the demon and baby.
Yusuke: Hey Hiei, how was your meeting with Konema?
Hiei shrugged and started to head up the stairs with a now sleeping child. He walked to the room and gently opened the door and locked it after closing it. He laid down Mana and laid down beside him and gently rubbed The onyx eyes baby's head. Maybe it was too soon, but it was for the best. He couldn't keep up this unwanted feelings He couldn't support the wanting to take care of the small youth. he needed out and this was the only way. Hiei closed his eyes and turned away from the sleeping babe. This was his last and only goodbye, to the little life laying next to him.

The following morning Mana woke up in the bed, alone. He looked around and blinked.
Mana: Hai-ie?
The onyx eyed boy walked over to the dresser in the room and opened it pulling out a shirt and shorts, put them on and ran out the room are footed, tripping a bit. Mana may have been small but he knew what he wanted to wear and how to put them on. Mana looked in every room to find his only friend in the house and world, but couldn't find him. He come up to the stairs and looked down the stairs, holding onto the railing and slowly walked down the steps, one at a time, he made it. Mana walked around the couch and frowned.
Mana: Hai-ei?
Mana called out and waited. He pouted and ran into the Kitchen and looked around only seeing Kurama cooking breakfast for everyone. Mana soon went into the dinning room and looked around. He stood in the empty room and started to sniffle. He knew... His only friend, his only best friend, his Papa, was gone... Mana started to cry loudly and soon he was picked up off the ground and was being patted on his back. He could barely see through the water in his eyes, red. A beautiful rose color red. Mana continued to cry gently fisting Kurama's red hair strands.
Mana: Hai-ie! HAI-IE! N-NONO! NO EVE NANA ERE!!! NO!
Kurama gently tightly his hold on Mana and kissed his small shoulders to sooth the heartach he must have felt for loosing the only one that cared about him.
