Love Can Over Come All Odds

Chapter19. Love can Over Come all Odds

"Shh, Kurashi, please stop crying. You'll wake your sister." Shikka said trying to get her son, who was crying, to sleep. He has white/silver hair like his father, Yoko, but he had red fox ears and brown eyes like his mother Shikka.

"Hiei never told me you had twins." Kurama said as he quietly walked in surprising Shikka. "The door was open so I just let myself in." Kurama sighed and look down at his feet. "I'm so sorry for this whole mess, Shikka. I really am. I should have listened to you."

"It's alright Kura' . . ." Shikka trailed off. "I've been doing just fine with Daka's help. And . . ."

Kurama cut her off with a kiss, when they pulled away he said. "They're beautiful . . . like you."

Shikka blushed a little. "Yeah?"

"Hiei said that." Kurama said smiling.

"What did Hiei say about me now?" Shikka asked bored. She was so tired of his childish name calling game.

"He said that you were beautiful . . ." Kurama stated, staring at Shikka.

Shikka was shocked. "Hiei said that huh. Remind me to thank him later." Shikka chuckled as she put the gurgling Kurashi in his crib.

"Their names, Red, what are their names?" Kurama asked as he leaned over Kurashi's crib to look at him.

"His name's Kurashi. His sister Suuikka is asleep in the crib next to him." Suuikka had red with white tipped red ears and yellow eyes.

"Suuikka and Kurashi, I like them." Kurama smiled and began to play with Kurashi which ended in hair pulling.

"I'm glad your back." Shikka whispered to her mate, Kurama, in bed after they had finally gotten Kurashi to sleep.

"So am I." Kurama smiled and hugged Shikka tight never willing to let her go.

"I tired to tell you . . . about . . . it's just . . . you wouldn't listen." Shikka slowly said to not make Kurama feel too guilty.

"I know, and I'm sorry." Kurama sighed. "My mother's going to have a heart attack when I tell her."

"Kura', you don't . . ." Shikka trailed off.

"I have to. I want to tell her. How could I not? Mother will like you of that I'm sure. She'll probably yell at me though, tell me how stupid I was. Then she'll say what a sweet and innocent girl you are and 'how did you ever get yourself into this kind of mess'." Kurama did an imitation of his mother's voice. "Then melt when she sees the children."

"She sounds like a very good mother." Shikka said with tears almost in her eyes.

"She is . . . Red! I had forgotten! Your mother . . . your parents . . ." Kurama trailed off.

"It's alright . . . that was a long time ago and . . . I like your mother already." Shikka smiled, kissed Kurama, and cuddled into him. "Night Kura'."

Kurama smiled. "Good night Red."

"You think he went?" Iyudaka asked worried.

"Iyu, for the one millionth time, yes, I'm sure he went. If he didn't he's more of a bastard then I thought."

"Hiei!" Daka scolded.

"Well . . ." Hiei was interrupted by a baby cry.

"That's Rainah . . ." Iyudaka said as she got up to get their new baby.

"I know that!" Hiei snapped not really meaning to. "I'll get her." Iyudaka was surprised but sat back down as Hiei left to the other room. It was hard getting use to family life but it was easier then being on your own. And Hiei liked the fact that he could watch his children grow up.

"Hey there Rain. What's all the fuse about?" Hiei said picking Rainah up out of her crib. She immediately stopped crying and smiled at her father. Rainah looked just like Hiei except for the fact she had her mother's blue-gold eyes and had white on the tips of her black dog ears. Hiei smiled. "Just wanted to see your father huh?" Yup, life might not be perfect but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh Hiei. Iyudaka thought as she watched her mate talk to their baby girl. What would I do without you? I guess what they say is true. Love can over come all odds.
