Kurama moved away from the door. All the rumors that Keiko had become a nun or she had met a rich guy were lies. He had always believed she went to travel the world without any rules or just to get away from the heck of the demon world. He had never once believed Keiko was pregnant. Does Yusuke knows? He took off his hat, his hair had grown about two inches longer since Keiko had seen him last. He rubbed his forehead. Keiko walked away from the door.
"Lets begin like this: does he know?"
Keiko shook her head.
"You know he's here in Italy, right?"
"I do now."
Kurama put back on his hat.
"I'm just not sure I want to tell him."
She looked at him. Kurama grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her to him.
"I've always considered you a little sister," he said, smiling at her. "If you don't want to tell him fine, but you've got to tell Shizuru."
"Why? She only cares about herself."
Kurama laughed softly.
"Be careful what you say about my wife, and she has changed you know."
Keiko's mouth fell open.
"Yeah, we got married two years ago, we tried to find you but…"
He shrugged his shoulders.
"She thinks someone kidnapped you to do their homework."
Keiko busted out laughing.
"Some crazy teens who need A grades real bad."
"Where does she come up with this?"
"I think being around Kuwabara has hurt her IQ-"
"Mommy."
Keiko snatched around, the twins went running at her. They wrapped their arms around her legs. Kurama saw how her eyes grew bright. She was happy. Keiko bent down picking up Raimondo. Abby came out of the room. Keiko waved at her. She let out a deep breath and went back in. Raimondo looked at the stranger. He recognized him instantly with the hair.
"Foko Nurama."
Kurama busted out laughing. Keiko hugged him.
"You mean Yoko Kurama," Kurama said.
Raimondo nodded his head. Kurama put his hand on his hat and nodded his head.
"Hello buddy," he said.
He smiled.
"Raimondo this is Kurama-"
"Uncle Kurama," Kurama said.
Keiko looked shocked at him. He took Raimondo from her. Raimondo looked at him in amazement. Then Kurama saw the other boy standing beside her.
"What's your name?" he asked, bending down to his eye level.
Ambrogio walked up to him and smiled.
"Amgio."
"It's Ambrogio."
Kurama picked him up.
"How many others are here?"
He looked at her.
"Keiko I won't tell, I promise."
"No but I miss my old family."
Kurama smiled.
"Hey you guys have to go back to bay base"
"Nooo," they moaned.
"They're officially spoiled now since they've got a celebrity uncle."
Kurama handed them back to her. Both boys kissed her on each cheek at the same time.
"Love you."
She dropped them off by the door they ran back in and she shut it. Keiko moved down the hall and Kurama followed.
"Well Yusuke, Hiei, Jin and Toya are here, the rest will be here tomorrow."
He shrugged his shoulders.
"The girls as well"
"So did Kuwabara and Yukina get married?" Keiko asked.
"They're working on it, have been for the last three years."
Keiko shook her head.
"Everybody was worried when you just got up and left. Did you think we would just forget about you?"
"Yeah."
"Keiko!"
He glared at her.
"What?"
She jumped back.
"Why would we not care?"
"I never fitted in-"
"Doesn't matter, you were a part of the spirit detective family, and you still are. Keiko half of us consider you like a little sister with your kind advice and your warm heart for our safety. As for Yusuke, he believed you were his true mate, and for Hiei a dang pain in the ass."
He gave a warm smile.
"I have to get back to work, bring Shizuru here tomorrow."
Kurama hugged her tightly.
"Alright darling, but it's wonderful to see you again."
He went on. Keiko realized how much she had missed her old family. She needed to give her parents a call.
At the end of the day Keiko was exhausted as can be her butt-cheeks hurt because she had been pinched on the butt so much. Keiko settled back in her bathtub. She laid her head back. It was about ten o'clock she hated to file new reports. The boys had worn themselves out from playing with the other demons' kids. She slid her fingers through the bubbles. This was the life: peace and quiet with a bubble bath. She slid down deep into the warm water.
Keiko heard a knock at the door. She sat on the wooden floor reading her biology book for college. Lizzy open the front door. Her farther walked into the room six foot three hundred pounds. She kept her eyes on the words. He walked into the room. She could feel his eyes. He dropped down on his knees. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and slides her close to him. He holds back his tears but Keiko doesn't.
"You are my baby girl" He kissed her on the forehead. She curled up in his arms. "Don't ever run away from me again you are going to give your daddy a heart attack" She busted out laughing. He held her for awhile longer. Nathanial sat on the couch. He was listening to Keiko's ideas.
"Daddy this is what I want"
"Baby, I know you want to stay but I would rather you come home"
"I don't want to"
"If this si about Yusuke"
"Don't speak of him"
"Baby your goi-"
"Not if I can avoid him"
"I taught you better than that" Keiko nodded his head.
"I know daddy"
"Your mom is crazing out"
"You mean freaking out"
"Yes"
"Didn't you tell me I should be on my own to understand my mistakes in life?"
"I really wish you wouldn't remember all I said"
"If I let you stay you will follow all the rules Lizzy and I set"
"Don't I always"
"Don't be sassy, missy" Keiko giggle. Nathanial got up wrapping his arms around her. "You know your mother will becoming soon"
"Yes sir"
"Your always welcome home" Keiko kissed him on the cheek "You have always a family waiting for you with open arms" He hugged her one last time.
(Next ch: Keiko rethinks her decision on meeting the girls but Kurama has other thoughts about the situation But Rogio had decided to sneak out and looks around as he walks outside he spots Yusuke talking to Hiei)
