Chapter 5


Yusuke stared up at the ceiling. By then he knew every crack or slight bump on the ceiling as recently he had found himself repeatedly staring at it. A hand stole to his taunt stomach, as he rubbed it slowly, mind completely lost in thought. His thoughts drifted to everything that had happened in the last couple of months.
He was now eight months pregnant, and so much in his life had changed. He was happy where he was, living with his friends, the baldies, and his lover; the physical changes where what he had to get used to. His stomach was enormous as his hips had yet to expand. Any day now, his hips would stretch out, or at least that was the theory, but already, Juichi was becoming increasingly worried, and planning on an alternate course of action.

Juichi had recently moved into the Raizen castle, as she was recording Yusuke’s pregnancy closely. Yusuke wasn’t fond of the way the demoness attempted to fawn over him, and that he had to now get daily check-ups. It was fine with him though, so long as he could help some poor mazoku in the future that found himself in Yusuke’s shoes. At least then, he might have some better advice on what to do. His expanding stomach was last on his mind, however, as he had recently accumulated… boobs. Yusuke had always liked boobs, but on women, not on himself. He already had B cups, and while that wasn’t a bad size to have, they hurt and were sore a lot because of the sudden growth. If he could look down and saw them, followed by his expanding stomach, he was a little weirded out.

He wasn’t the only one in an awkward situation, though. It had recently been found out that Puu to was pregnant, or well, it seemed that he was carrying eggs inside him that he would soon lay. Since Yusuke found out that Puu was in a similar position, he immediately demanded that he be moved into his room. Puu now slept in a small nest next to Kurama and Yusuke’s bed, and Yusuke couldn’t help but feel comforted for some reason when he and his spirit-beast were close together. Well, at least now he wasn’t the only one pregnant, in one way or another.

As he thought about how he found himself in this situation, a pang of sorrow rushed through his body. Not that he regretted getting knocked-up, in fact, he was so glad that it happened, and already he loved all of his kits so much, but…well… he wasn’t sure about his and Kurama’s relationship. Before Yusuke became ill with morning sickness, before they even knew it was possible for him to become pregnant, Kurama and Yusuke’s relationship was faltering. They never reached the stage where they were fighting, but Yusuke wondered what would have happened if Yusuke hadn’t gotten preggers. Would he and Kurama have fought? Would they even still be together as a couple?

Since the attack on Yusuke a couple of months before, Kurama had been some-what distant from the pregnant mazoku. They never talked anymore, unless it revolved around the kits, and Kurama rarely ever touched Yusuke anymore unless it was to feel his stomach. Yusuke knew what Genkai had said to Kurama when he first found out that his lover was pregnant, “If you cannot promise to stay with him, I will have no choice but to terminate the pregnancy now.” The young man knew that Kurama would never do anything that could inadvertently harm the kits in any way. Did that mean that the fox was staying with Yusuke only because Yusuke was pregnant with their children? Yusuke shook his head, trying to clear his mind.

With all this emotional turmoil, Yusuke was terrified by the next toll the pregnancy would take on his body. Yusuke blushed at the thought, but Juichi explained it to him very well. It seemed that because the kits required abundant amounts of estrogen, his body had been dutifully supplying them with it. However, this meant that most of his testosterone was repressed. During this stage of the pregnancy, the testosterone could suddenly be released in large amounts, which would cause the mazoku to randomly get a boner. If he and Kurama weren’t speaking when that happened, how would they ever get past the awkwardness?

He heard someone open the door, and looked over to see the fox walk into their room. ‘Speak of the kitsune…’ he thought to himself. He looked up at Kurama’s beautiful features, his high cheek bones and flawless skin, his blood-red hair, those deep green eyes. As he thought about it, he realized that he had grown so distant from Kurama emotionally that he was looking at Kurama like he was a stranger. He was shocked, and almost felt his chest restricting when he thought about how he considered Kurama’s beauty to be like anyone else’s. His beauty seemed to no longer belong to his friend, his team-mate, his lover.

Kurama must have seen that Yusuke was shocked and worried about something, because he sat on the foot of the bed and began massaging Yusuke’s feet.
“What’s wrong?”

Yusuke looked at the wall for a moment, which worried Kurama. Yusuke was known around all three worlds as one of the most hot-tempered beings that existed, after-all, once he had actually cussed out King Yama while standing dangerously close the to god. The fact that Yusuke was holding back information wasn’t a good sign. He stopped massaging the feet and looked intently at Yusuke and said “Please don’t tell me something’s wrong with the kits.” Kurama said in a guarded tone. It was a particular tone of voice that only Yusuke and Hiei were perceptive enough to know that something was worrying the stoic fox. Yusuke’s heart almost shattered, it seemed like all of his worst fears were being validated right in front of him. His whole world seemed to turn upside down in front of him as his chest constricted and his throat clenched and burned. ‘Kurama doesn’t love me; he just doesn’t want to be responsible for the death of the kits’ his mind taunted him. Try as he might, he couldn’t escape the tear that slid slowly down his cheek as he shook his head at the kitsune.

“Kurama, you still love me right?” Yusuke said it with such conviction in his voice, it was as though he had decided the answer before hand and only needed the stamp of approval.
Kurama looked at Yusuke, shock written all over his usually stoic face. His mind took a minute to be able to process and formulate words again before saying “what on earth would ever make you think otherwise?”

It was obvious to Yusuke that he had made a mistake, and he said timidly “I just… well, I don’t know. We were having problems before I got sick from the pregnancy, and since the attack you’ve just been… I don’t know… distant. And I knew what Genkai told you at her temple, about how she would kill the kits if you left me, and I thought maybe you were staying with me because of that. If you were, I was going to tell you that there was no way Genkai would be able to kill the kits now and that you were more than free to leave me if that was what you wanted.”

Kurama’s mind was trying to process what his lover had told him. Kurama was for once completely floored by what the mazoku had said. What had he ever done to the man to make him think that Kurama was like that? How could the man for a second doubt what he felt towards him. But then he remembered what Yusuke’s father had been like. Not Raizen, but his biological father.

Yusuke had once told Kurama about the man that he could barely remember. All Yusuke could recall was that the man was always fighting with his mother. Apparently Yusuke was an accident, which was no surprise seeing how Yusuke was born when his mother was so young. His father always blamed it on her, and believed that she had roped him to stay in the relationship by getting pregnant. Eventually the man couldn’t take it anymore, and in a drunken rage beat both Atsuko and Yusuke before leaving. That was the last time Yusuke ever saw his father. It was for that reason that Yusuke was as strong as he was, after all, he was never going to be beaten again, not unless the other man was too. Kurama had understood how the man had effected Yusuke in that way, and now Kurama could understand why Yusuke would want Kurama to get out of the relationship if there was any possibility that he felt towards Yusuke, what his father had felt towards his mother.

“Yusuke… I love you dearly, yes, I do love our kits very much, but you came first. The reason I’ve been so distant since the attack is because, well, I felt like I was the one that had caused it. We had gotten into a fight, and that’s what caused you to react the way you did and handle yourself in a very unsafe manner. I wanted to make sure that it wouldn’t happen again and so I arranged for Kuwabara and the gang to come here and keep you company.”

“So… you don’t think that I was, you know, trying to keep you in a relationship against your will? You didn’t stay just because Genkai threatened you?”
“No Yusuke, I did not. You weren’t conscious to see it, but those few days when your condition was unknown were the worst days of my life, in both my lives, and even my Yoko side felt the same way. I cried for hours and prayed to every god and deity I could think of, for Christ’s sake Yusuke, I even prayed to Ra. RA!. I did that all for you. Yes, I wanted the kit to live, but when it came down to it, if it was between the kit and you, I would have chosen you any day.”

Kurama slowly crawled up the bed and held his lover tightly to him. His arms were wrapped around the dark-haired man as his lover’s face buried itself deep in his chest. Yusuke continued to bawl into Kurama’s shirt. They both knew that at that point it was most likely due to hormones, but neither would say it. However, Yusuke was also crying with relief. Kurama did love him, and while they may not technically have been mated yet, it seemed as though that might change soon.

They stayed like that for a couple of hours until Yusuke was sure that Kurama wasn’t just yanking him around. Kurama finally got up to get out of his tear soaked shirt. He crawled off the bed and slowly took of his shirt, his muscles moving perfectly under the tanned skin. Yusuke moaned inwardly as he looked at the toned body in front of him. While Yusuke enjoyed the view, he didn’t really feel like doing anything that night. With his stomach so large it felt like it would be almost wrong some how. He turned over in the bed to get some sleep, however it was at that point that his smaller head, with out warning, stood up to salute him. Kurama saw the boner and looked at the stunned mazoku.

“I guess Juichi was telling the truth, huh?” Yusuke said through clenched teeth. The yearning and desire was intense and flowed powerfully through his veins. Already his cock was throbbing and aching for a touch, for anything really.

Yusuke winced lightly as he took off his pants and grabbed the lotion. He was prepared to take care of this himself, but Kurama apparently had other plans in mind. Kurama randomly walked up and kissed Yusuke, his hands grazing up Yusuke’s shirt and grabbing each breast. Yusuke moaned into the kiss before breaking it off and saying, “Kurama, I’m still not used to, you know…” Yusuke was blushing, and Kurama couldn’t help but find it adorable. He massaged the breasts making the man squirm before saying “Well, while you have them, let’s make good use of them.”

Kurama continued to stoke and massage each breast as he made his way down. He avoided the stomach, as he knew Yusuke would not like the thought of his kits being anywhere near this, and so began to kiss, nibble, and suck at Yusuke thighs and groin, but always avoiding Yusuke’s cock. It was then that Kurama did something that they had never done in bed before. He grabbed for the lotion, and Yusuke began to protest. He just knew that Kurama was going to try to have Yusuke the way he used to, and he just wasn’t sure if he wanted Kurama to do that to the kits’ future birth canal. However, Kurama shocked Yusuke as he coated his fingers, and began to prepare himself for the man. He winced lightly as he stretched himself out, but did so willingly for his lover. Yusuke lay in shock until Kurama kneeled over the mazoku. He braced his hands on Yusuke’s shoulders, and slowly lowered himself onto his lover.

Yusuke sucked in air as he felt his cock being taken into Kurama’s tight warmth. Yusuke had never topped Kurama before, not to mention Kurama letting Yusuke top from the bottom. Kurama slid down Yusuke’s cock the entire way, wincing slightly. After a second he began pushing himself up and down with his knees. Yusuke threw his head back and moaned loudly as the fox road him. Yusuke shifted his position slightly, and the next time Kurama moved down he moaned loudly and gasped.

Kurama moved faster and faster, and felt Yusuke watching him intently. Yusuke was trying to keep his eyes open as he looked at the beautiful fox do this. He thought that Kurama had never looked more amazing. The way the body glistened lightly in sweat as his face was filled with pleasure as he completely lost his mind on his lover. The fox decided to put on a full show and began stroking himself, slowly at first, but at a faster rate in time with their movements. He moaned as he became lost in his own world of pleasure and pain. He went faster and harder as the two panting demons worked their way to their climaxes. Kurama leaned forward a little more finding that at that angle his pleasure increased much more. He looked down at his lover’s pleasure filled face, and kissed his neck. Yusuke’s hips bucked up as much as he could managed as the demons snarled anamalistically. They then made a silent agreement between the two of them. Both of them moved to their lovers neck, and the next time Kurama moved down, they both bit hard on each other’s shoulders. The feeling and orgasm was umbeleivable as fireworks went off in their bodies. Kurama rode out his and Yusuke’s orgasm until they were both finished, and both were nothing more then a puddle of panting, pleasure-filled mass.

Kurama dismounted and lay down next to his lover, no, mate. They both lay on the bed, Yusuke curled up in Kurama’s arms. For the first time in months, they let their naked bodies press together and both felt complete. They were now mates, they had made a commitment, and it was apparent, at least by makai standards that they were as good as married.

Within 30 minutes however both felt cold a sticky from the bodily fluids, and so took a shower. They kissed and held each other, not really speaking very much, if only to say “I love you.” They were actually kind of disgusted by the idea of them being so “romanticky” as Yusuke dubbed it, but they both decided to blame it all on Yusuke’s hormones. After the shower, they quickly changed the sheets on the bed and then fell asleep, Kurama holding Yusuke close, one arm resting on his stomach, and the other, his chest.

The next morning, Yusuke’s hips began to expand.


That morning, Kurama lay on the bed half-awake. He heard his lover grunting beside him, however due to bad dreams and night-terrors, it was not abnormal to hear the man doing so while he was asleep. He went to put a protective arm around Yusuke’s abdomen, only to have the man’s energy shock him like an electric fence. Kurama’s eyes flashed open and sat up his eyes looking unbelievingly at his lover. Yusuke was curled into a ball, or at least as much so as his bulbous stomach would allow it. Sweat poured down the man’s contorted face as his teeth clenched and he inhaled sharply against the pain. When he had a moment he looked up at Kurama apologetically and said “Sorry, I didn’t think that they would try and attack you.”

Kurama shook his head to tell the man that it was alright, and stood with every intent to inform Juichi of the development, and drag the demoness back with him. He felt a hand grab his wrist as he stood however, and heard a sound that shook every fiber of his being. Beneath him, Yusuke emitted a piteous whimper. Kurama never would have thought he would see the day that the fearsome mazoku lord would make such a helpless noise.
Kurama looked over at the worrying Puu who sat next to their bed and instructed him do find Juichi, and if he couldn’t find her to find and bring Kuwabara there. Around two minutes later a squawking Puu pushed Kuwabara into the room.

“What Puu, Jesus Christ, I can walk you know! What’s got your feathers in a knot?” He looked up at the hunched over Mazoku and understood immediately. “I’ll go find Juichi.” He said as he turned to leave, Kurama thanking him as he hurried down the hallway.

Ten minutes later the demoness hurried into the room. It was rare to ever see the demon looking frazzled or unprofessional, but as she walked in, Kurama noted how her hair was frizzled and loose and her usually either stoic or laughing eyes were filled with worry and nervousness. While he understood that it was perfectly normal for her to feel this way since she had never worked with a pregnant mazoku, a part of Kurama wanted to snap at her and find someone who would seem more competent to take care of his lover. He knew, however, that the most competent person was standing in front of him busily looking over Yusuke and asking him questions.

“Yusuke, honey, are you alright? Are you feeling any kind of pain that is different from the initial pain or a pain that worries you?”

“No, everything seems to be going alright. It’s a steady ache. Well, ache isn’t the best word, it’s almost got that same feeling as when you break a bone, you know, the feeling of being stabbed repeatedly by a knife when it’s on fire.” As Yusuke managed to grunt out his response, Juichi wondered if the man had ever been stabbed with a flaming knife, but after thinking it through, thought that it could be very likely.

“Yusuke, is the energy around your stomach aggressive?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright, Yusuke, then unfortunately, I’m going to have to ask you to do something that may be very difficult for you to be able to do. I need you to reign in the energy that surrounds your abdomen, so that I can take a measurement of your hips. Do you think you could manage that for me?”

Yusuke nodded slowly before putting his head in Kurama’s lap. He closed his eyes and took a calming breath. When he opened his eyes again, the man began to concentrate on his energy. Slowly the aura around his stomach began to die down. The man’s hands fisted into the sheets and his sweat dripped down his face with more intensity as he harnessed his energy. After two minutes, he looked at Juichi and nodded once. Immediately she sprung into action lifting Yusuke’s hips gently, and placing a measuring tape bellow him before placing his hips back on the bed. As she carefully measured his hips, Kurama was comforting Yusuke and wiping off the sweat on Yusuke’s face. Puu, who always wanted to be helpful, left the room for a minute before returning with a damp washcloth dangling from his beak. He hopped on the bed and handed it to Kurama before resting next to Yusuke and wrapping his neck around Yusuke’s chest and resting his head on the man’s shoulder.

Juichi finished measuring his hips and nodded once as the relieved demon released his energy again. All three beings looked at Juichi expectantly as she sighed and shook her head.

“I was afraid of this, it looks as though your hips have expanded about an inch-and-half but they have to expand a good four inches. It looks like you’ll be at this for another four hours easily.” Yusuke nodded again, and asked if someone could bring in more cool water and a few more pillows. In what felt like seconds Yusuke was propped against more pillows so he was practically sitting up, and Hokoushin brought in a bowl with cool water.

Puu’s head was in Yusuke’s lap, and Kurama was kneeling next to him slowly wiping off the sweat and mumbling words of encouragement. As Juichi looked at the three of them sitting on the bed, she felt out of place next to them. She said she would be back within two hours and walked into the hallway and felt like she walked into a hospital waiting room. It felt like everybody who lived in the castle was waiting outside that door and they were all demanding answers from her. She sighed before giving information to Yusuke’s adopted family.


Yusuke shifted uncomfortably on pillows as he moaned from the intense pain that seemed to spread from his knees to his middle back. Kurama was currently massaging Yusuke’s back, and he had to admit that it felt a lot better. He looked down at Puu, who was cooing in pain lightly, sweat running down his face. Yusuke knew automatically that due to the bond he and the spirit-beast shared, Yusuke was not the only one in pain. He grabbed a wash cloth and lightly dabbed it on Puu’s head, all the while smiling wearily at the beast and apologizing lightly. Puu only cooed appreciatively at the man.


The rest of the afternoon continued in a similar fashion with Puu and Kurama supporting Yusuke who tried his best to pretend to not need support from either of them, but failing miserably at attempting to pull that façade off. Juichi interrupted every hour-and-a-half or so to take measurements and inform them of any new finding, but that only happened once. Finally around five hours after Kurama had been woken up by his lover did Yusuke’s pain turn to a dull ache, one likened to a bad growing pain.

Both Yusuke and Puu seemed relieved, but exhausted, and both drifted in and out sleep until Yusuke woke again by a sharp pain, but this time it was located more near his butt. He inhaled sharply as he felt like his anus was tearing, like after a rough night of sex, only worse. It didn’t take long until blood was soaked into their comforter. Kurama called for Juichi loudly and in a rarely panicked tone of voice. She ran into the room and inspected the demon carefully.

“Yusuke, everything is alright, please calm down, the future birth canal just had to widen a little more for the kits, and found this to be the best opportunity to do so. It has already finished doing it. From what I can tell, your body is done making adjustments, you’re kits however may move around and kick a lot in the next few days as they become accustomed to the move.”

Kurama nodded along with an exhausted Yusuke as he rolled back into the sitting up position. As Juichi left, Kurama stopped her and said “will you please have Hokoushin or one of the monks come in and change these sheets?”

“Of course, but where are you going to take Yusuke?”

“I’m going to help him take a warm shower and clean him up.”

“Of course, if anything else happens, don’t hesitate to get me, even if it’s late at night.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t.”

“Somehow, I don’t doubt that in the least. Have a nice night Kurama, Yusuke.”

Kurama bent down and scooped the fatigued demon, and carried him into their master bathroom. He carefully helped the demon strip himself of clothing, and let the shower warm up as he himself stripped. He picked the demon up again and walked with him into the shower*, before sitting on the bottom of the tub and letting the water bombard them both. He grabbed the wash cloth and cleaned his lover up from the blood and sweat. By that point Yusuke was passed out, and by the looks of it, Kurama knew that he wouldn’t be up until the next day.

He stepped out of the shower with his lover, wrapping towels around them and attempting to dry the man off before stepping into the bed. He stacked the pillows up again so that they were sitting up and lay behind his lover holding him in his strong arms. His arms were wrapped around Yusuke’s waist as Puu climbed on to the bed, and lay his neck across this laps. He looked down at the bird and patted his head lightly saying quietly “You know I don’t have a problem with you being in the bed, but don’t get used to it.” Puu just looked up at him tiredly before nodding his head lightly. He felt two of the kits in Yusuke begin to toss and turn, and almost what seemed like fighting in his lover making him moan lightly. Kurama rubbed the belly lightly and sent some calming chi before saying “Sash. You guys have to calm down in there, your dad is trying to sleep.”

It was the first time he had ever called Yusuke a dad. He felt a shocking sensation down his spine as he once again realized that him and Yusuke were going to be parents. He thought he wouldn’t still be shocked by the idea eight months into the pregnancy, but obviously, he was. With a goofy grin on his face, and a warm feeling flowing through his veins, Kurama drifted into a wonderful, deep sleep.

The next few days went by smoothly on the whole. Yusuke’s hips were still incredibly sore, and because of all the energy his body had used in order to make the change, Yusuke was now unable to walk or really even stand. He felt pathetic being so weak, but new that this was unavoidable. The one thing that really pissed him off was how everyone was treating him. Besides Kurama and Shizuru, all of his “protectors” treated him differently whenever they saw him in his bed. They would come in to visit for a couple of hours everyday to help cheer him up, but Yusuke wasn’t cheered overly much sitting in a room with his friends who found that it was too awkward to really speak to the man. None of the baldies really changed how they acted towards him because, with the exception on Hokoushin, all of them had always treated him like the sun rose and fell on him. Christ these people were pissing him off.

He was glad however, that because of his hips widening, the size of his stomach did go down. It was no longer sticking out as much or was as much of an oval shape, now it was more rounded. The downside however, was the quads weren’t sure whether on not they liked the new arrangement. They continued to kick and punch, which was keeping him up all night, and Kurama wasn’t sleeping either. Yusuke had gotten into the habit in the last few days to put his arms around Kurama and hold the fox tight whenever the slept, not the other way around. However, this left Yusuke’s stomach right behind Kurama’s butt. Every once in a while, one of the kits would manage a kick in the right direction, and manage to kick Kurama’s ass… literally. Yusuke found this immensely entertaining, Kurama on the other hand, did not.

Yusuke was happy that everything seemed to be going so well, but now that he was in his third trimester, hypothetically speaking, he could give birth to the quads at anytime, and that scared the piss out of him. He knew that Boton and Yukina were busy back in the Ningenkai buying all the things we would need for the kits, but even with that feeling of preparedness, he still couldn’t get over his fear. He couldn’t help but worry if he could become just as shitty a parent as his father was, although, Kurama wanted to beat the shit out of Yusuke when he had suggested it. Yusuke’s doubts went a little bit further then that however, he was a murderer, a demon, a good-for-nothing punk. He had stolen from people, beat people up beyond recognition, killed countless demons, and even taken human life. Did he deserve these kits? Was this some cruel joke of some kind? And the big one, would King Yama even allow such strong children to be born, or devise one of his plans to get rid of them? Could everything he had worked hard for and loved, be taken away from him in a moments notice? Yusuke could only pray and hope and lean on the strength of Kurama’s arms.

* I chose to make it a western shower apposed to a Japanese shower for convenience sake.
