Chapter Five: Meet Kurama

By: Gothic Lust

Kagome looked over herself one last time in the mirror, the green dress she purchased the day before looked absolutely stunning. She wore a thin silver heart shaped locket with a key hole, the key hanging delicately on the side to compliment the dress.

Her hair was left down and styled once again after her shower when she came from the beauty salon. Kun-loon nearly had a fit but allowed her daughter to relax for the time being before she grabbed her daughter and blow dried her hair once again in waves.

She wore it down showing off the full body of loose waves of raven hair that was uncommon among Japanese women. Apart from the silver heart locket and key, the rest of her jewelry was gold, along with her 3 inch strap gold heels that left her completely unbalanced and dangerous to anyone near her.

“2 years of fighting demons, time traveling and collecting scattered shards of a jewel and I still can't walk in heels.”

Fixing the halter top of the dress, satisfied that the knot at the nape of her neck will not unravel and expose her to the world she left her room; she descended down the stairs slowly as to not fall and gain a nice set of bruises and into the kitchen where her mother was stirring the pot of vegetable stew Kagome made earlier.

“Kagome this smells wonderful! I think you will forever have reign over my kitchen with these cooking skills of yours! I just can't wait to eat it. Suuichi will never let you go after he tries this. After all the way to a mans heart…”

“…is through his stomach. I know mom.”

The door bell rang and Kun-loon ran to go answer it. “I'll get it! Kagome, please make the tea will you your so good at it.” she said, popping her head around the frame of the entrance. Kagome nodded and watched her mother as she ran to the door way, stopping only a few seconds before the hallway mirror to check her make up and fix her hair one last time.

Kagome sighed, bent down and turned on the light to the oven. The pie was doing nicely, the crust needed some time but it was almost done just a few minutes more.

“Oh! You must be Suuichi, your so handsome!” Kun-loons voice rang in from the living room and made Kagome rethink her choice on staying. The back door stood just a few feet from her, beckoning her to just run right out side on this beautiful night.

“DEMON BE GONE!!!”

Kagome made up her mind. She wasn't about to abandon this man to the mercy of her hyper brother, crazy grandfather and 2 marriage obsessed mothers with hidden agendas. He at least needed someone who was relatively sane to keep him company.

“God I hope he's not boring.” Kagome thought as she walked out of the kitchen once she placed a pot of jasmine tea on the stove.

When she stepped out of her little sanctuary she found her mother and another woman's face contorted with horror, her kid brother laughing uncontrollably from his seat on the couch and her grandfather placing sutra's all over a tall, lean red haired youth whose face was covered in paper. The only thing visible there were his eyes which he had shut closed to protect them from flying sutras.

Kagome giggled deciding to save the man before he got too annoyed.

“Jii-chan, I highly doubt he's a demon here to take me off and create little spawns that are meant to take over the world and destroy mankind, am I right?” she said barely containing her amusement.

Stormy-blue-gray clashed with piercing emerald orbs. His eyes pulled to her very soul. They held mischief, laughter, fun. `I can't breath…' She thought.

Kagome managed to regain her breathing once she broke their gaze. She took a few steps towards him and began pulling off the sticky sutras as her mother and the other woman sprung into action grabbing Jii-chan and nearly throwing him into his room. The clicking of the lock could be heard from their position in the living room.

Kagome started to peel away the sutras, she saw him flinch every time she did so, almost unnoticeable when she pulled the first one off his forehead. When the last one came off she was able to get a good look at him. She had to say her mother was right he was indeed handsome. He was a head taller than her with long red hair, he had a lean build, thin, but in some way it yelled strong to her, like steel wrapped in flesh.

But it was his eyes that attracted her the most, though guarded, they still led her down a winding path towards his very soul.

“I believe we haven't met.” His voice was as smooth as silk, it poured over her skin, seeping in to every pore, muscle and fiber of her being till it made it's way to her soul and there it burned into a flame. He picked up her left hand, the one that did not hold a sutra, and placed a chaste kiss at the top. “My name is Suuichi Minamono. May I have the pleasure of knowing yours?”

Her lungs stopped working once again, it added to the burning feeling that was scorching her gut. She had lost the ability to speak around him, a tactic that made her look more like a fool than it did trying to prevent her from saying something stupid.

“Higurashi, Kagome Higurashi.” She mumbled out as she retracted her hand to place it on her now blushing cheek.

She watched as he smiled, no smirked! His lips were pulled to one side showing pearl white teeth. The blush left her face quickly and she stepped farther away from him. It was predator-like, his gaze, as if he were the hunter and she his prey; a fox who had found the juicy rabbit for his dinner.

Her mother returned quickly with the other woman trailing behind her. Their lips moved too fast to read but she knew that they were speaking ill of Jii-chan for the stunt he pulled. Kun-loon placed on an all too fake smile and motioned for them to follow her into the kitchen for dinner.

When they were all in the kitchen Kagome made her way to the oven and pulled out the apple pie, turning the oven off as she went.

“Oh my it smells wonderful in here!” The woman said as she slowly walked around the small kitchen to find the source of the aroma.

“Sure does! Kagome's cooking is always the best!” Kun-loon said, boasting away about her daughters talents. “She learned it all by herself, never once came to me for advice on this sort of thing, neither did she take a class in school. It just came naturally.”

Kagome groaned as she made herself busy taking the tea off the stove, avoiding everyone she could. By doing something and not commenting on any of the things they said she may seem invisible enough to get away with saying nothing at all the whole night.

“They're sure having a fun time.”

Kagome turned, startled by the voice so close to her ear, dropping the pot of hot tea. His reaction was fast, almost too fast for her to have seen it, or even for a human to move without proper training. He leaned over her side, nearly crushing her against the cabinets to shield her with his body and grabbed the pot by it's handle.

Everyone turned to watch this unfold. Kun-loon gasped and ran to her daughter, check her in every inch while the other woman ran to her son in a waddle like fashion and examined him as well. Once the initial shock had passed over the two worried women, they began to compliment Suuichi on such a noble act.

The two just ignored their bantering mothers and turned to one another. Both women noticed this and allowed them some time together, dinner could wait.

“Thank you… I don't know what would have happened if that had spilled all over me, or you. Are you alright?” Kagome asked looking down at her thumbs as she twiddled them away, avoiding contact with his eyes.

“Don't worry about it, I'm fine. I'm sure any other sensible man would have done the same.” He brushed her words aside quickly as if it meant nothing at all.

“Are you sure you're alright?” She asked again questioning his sincerity for something else.

“I can assure you I am perfectly fine. You act so much like my mother, worried I might die over something so trivial.”

“I don't believe boiling tea goes under the category of trivial, that is if your human and not a demon like my grandfather says.” She joked with him, not bothering to dance around a subject he didn't want to answer to. She was sure he spilled some on his hand but maybe not.

He smirked yet again. It was just a feint pull in his lips but it was there, he must have caught the humor in her words, she was about to think he was stupid and took it all for face value.

“Dear if I were not human and were truly out to take you as the mother of my many demon spawns,” he took one step closer to her boxing her in the corner between the cabinets and himself ; “We would not be standing in this kitchen arguing over imaginary wounds.” The smirk still stayed plastered on his face. She would wish he would just laugh and not taunt her so.

“Are you hinting something behind those words of your?” she teased, she couldn't help it. She needed to do something that would make him react to her differently than just a smirk.

He wound his arm behind his back and smirked once again forcing Kagome to think what this man had up his sleeve.

“Maybe…” He said, but this time he smiled full and bright, showing off a perfectly straight smile and large incisors not normally found on a human. But Kagome paid that no mind as she was lost within the beauty of the man before her.

He pulled his arm out from behind his back and within his hand he had a large and beautiful bouquet of flowers. White lilies and lavenders surrounded a single un-bloomed red rose. It was beautiful but may have been more so if the rose had been in full bloom.

She watched him as he gazed down at the bouquet and back to her eyes. Kagome tentatively reached for the flowers, once her hands touched the green leafy stems the rose burst into bloom. She gasped, her eyes widening to take in the full beauty of such miraculous splendor.

Suuichi released his hold on the flowers leaving them in her hands, she brought them to her face to inhale the sent. Kagome peeked from under her long lashes at the man who gave her such a wonderful gift.

“Thank you.”

“Your most welcome.”

“May I ask you a question?”

“You may, but I may not answer.”

“How did you make the rose bloom?”

“You never ask a magician his tricks. He will never tell.” His smile was replaced by his infamous smirk once again. She was starting to believe he only had two expressions thought they were both charming.

I THOUGHT OF ENDING IT THERE BUT I KNEW IF I DID MANY OF YOU LOVELY REVIEWERS WOULD HUNT ME DOWN AND FORCE ME TO WRITE THE REST, SO I'M SAVING YOU AND MYSELF THE TROUBLE AND PAIN! BESIDES WHEN I WAS RE-READING THROUGH IT UP TO THIS PART I WAS CURSING MYSELF OUT TO WRITE THE REST OF IT SO I WOULD KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!!!

“You're quite charming, but is there anything beneath those ruby red locks of hair other than charm and wit?” She bit her bottom lip to keep herself from fully smiling, it was not working.

“Why? You going to pick at my brain?”

“Maybe…”

The two stood in silence for some time before deciding to follow the rest of the family into the living room. Before they left the Kitchen Kagome stopped him with a touch of her hand, she needed to ask him one more thing.

“What is the name of your mother, I'm assuming she's the woman you escorted here?”

“Shiori. I'm sorry that I haven't introduced you two, I hope you can forgive me. I was under the assumption that you knew her already by how highly she speaks of you.”

“Oh, no I've never met her before, She's pregnant isn't she?”

“Yes, 2 months in fact. She hasn't stopped talking about it since she found out.”

“I can't imagine what that's like. She must be so excited.”

“I don't know who's more excited, her or her husband. He has her on quite the leash. She's restricted from many things since she told him the news. I don't know how she works with such tight boundaries.”

Kagome laughed. She pitied the woman, to have her freedom stripped away because she was pregnant, Kami only knew she would put up a fight before she allowed herself to roll over.

As they exited the small kitchen a loud beeping sound came from one of Suuichi's pockets. He excused himself politely and walked outside, fishing for something in the said pocket as he went.

Kurama sighed inwardly as he was forced away from the small get together to answer his communicator. He saw how his mother had given him a questioning glance, preying that he would ignore the contraption but sadly he could not. He could only hope it was worth the small leave, he was intrigued by the small woman that was to be his fiancé.

He opened the communicator to be greeted with Botan's face screwed up in horror and desperation, something was up.

“Kurama I'm sorry to interrupt but we have a situation! A hoard of demons just broke their way through the barrier and are wreaking havoc on everything in the city! We need your help!” She cried out desperately. Her face vanished from the screen, screaming played in the background. When she reappeared he spoke his answer.

“I'm sorry Boton but I can not leave. How many are in this hoard?” He questioned. This was not good, not good at all.

“15 and still growing. The more we cut down the more show up! Please Kurama we need you here!”

Kurama thought it over and quickly thought of a solution to their problem.

“Boton, have Yusuke or Hiei kill the demon in the center. He should be the one staying far away from the battle, yet surrounded by many to protect him. Kill that one demon and the others will fall. Those demons are already dead that's why you keep facing more and more every time you cut down a foe.”

“Okay, thanks Kurama… YUSUKE!!!” Boton yelled out, turning her attention from him to the battle raging behind her. He could see bits and pieces of it from behind her form, things did not bode well for them today.

“Don't worry about it. Keep me posted and notified. If they change direction and come my way notify me immediately. I don't want any casualties.”

“Sure thing Kurama. Bye!”

The communicator screen went black and he closed it, placing the thing is his pocket before he threw it somewhere far away. So much for a `FREE' day. He sighed and leaned his head against the cool concrete wall, turning his eyes to the stars above him.

“Something happen?”

The voice was soft and sweet, calming him down for a moment enough to regain his thoughts.

“Yea, my boss decided to have his secretary demand me to show at one of his meetings.”

“So… Are you going?”

“No, I basically had her tell me whatever problem was and gave her my solution. It was a stupid thing really any of his other employees could have figured it out.”

“Oh, so what do you work in?” She cocked her head to the side cutely, her Grey-blue eyes twinkled, she was a curious one. If she were a demon he was sure she'd be a fox much like himself.

“Computers. I help them design video games. One of the technicians was having a problem with the graphic and my boss called me, the one without the degree. Funny huh!”

“Yea, so you done or are you going to watch the stars all night?”

“That wouldn't bother me at all.”

“Well if you want to watch the stars you can, but your not going to get any food out here so lets go, I'm starving!”

“Have you not eaten at all today.”

“Sadly no! My grandfather left us a nice surprise in the spice cabinet earlier today. We ended up doing a scavenger hunt for any other weird things he might be growing in the house. We didn't want to touch any of the food. Too bad, my mom made oatmeal this morning, and I love oatmeal.”

“So what was it that was living in your spice cabinet? I'm sure you asked.”

“We did, he didn't know what it was!”

“Dear, that must have been a sight to see.”

Kagome laughed thinking back on the events earlier today. It was true at the time it was completely horrifying, but now that she thought about it the idea was completely hilarious. What would her life be without Jii-chan? Maybe a little less hectic but not as funny!

They walked back into the house, Kurama holding the door open for her. Suddenly she was falling, her heel twisted beneath her foot and she was making a fast decent face first. Kurama was there quickly to catch her around the middle, propping her back onto her feet. He didn't let go though, he just held her, keeping her balanced as she regained her footing.

Kagome blushed when she felt his arms encircle her waist, preventing her from doing a face plant on the floor, now that would have been a story to tell to the kids.

“Are you alright?”

His question was sincere but she didn't know too much about her actions, it spoke otherwise when his arms were still holding her tightly.

“Yes, um… you could let go now.”

“Sorry, I didn't want you to fall again, those heels look hard to walk in.”

“Hard! More like a death trap! I'm surprised I haven't fallen before this.”

Kurama smiled and allowed her to continue her way to the kitchen, leaving him to close the door.

Dinner was a quiet affair if you didn't count the constant praises thrown to Kagome about her cooking, Jii-chan's muttering on demons and ancient artifacts or the lengthy conversation between Kurama and Souta on video games. Nope, completely silent, no words spoken what so ever.

Kurama's communicator went off once again as Kagome was handing out slices of apple pie and ice cream.

“Excuse me but I must take this.”

“Suuichi dear, can't you leave it ring just for tonight I'm sure whoever is calling you will call again tomorrow.”

Kurama knew, no matter how tempting it was to let it ring, he could not indulge hid mother.

“I'm sorry mother but this call could be important. I'll be right back. Excuse me.”

He saw Kagome smile at him, sliding over his desert to his now empty seat. He smiled to her and left quickly. When he was outside once again he flipped the communicator open revealing Boton's face to him.

“Kurama! Thank god you picked up! The demons are heading your way, they'll be there in a few minutes!!!”

Kurama's blood ran cold. The thought of demons heading his way was not something he had fully planed for, he knew of the possibility but he never thought it would actually happen.

“Boton I need you to stall for as long as you can! I need to get my mom and the Higurashi family out of here!”

He saw Boton nod just before he slapped the communicator closed. Without wasting any more time he stuffed the pick disk into his pocket and ran into the house not bothering to close the door.

“Suuichi what's wrong?” His mother asked worriedly as her son raced into the kitchen heaving her off her chair.

“We need to leave now!” He said forcefully getting the rest of the family up off their chairs.

“What? We just started desert!” Kun-loon said, protesting to his abrupt decision to leave.

“No, we all need to leave now! If we don't then I don't know what's going to happen but we need to leave, Mother we need to get you somewhere safe.”

“Suuichi you're making not sense!”

Kurama didn't bother with explinations any more, he picked his mother up off the floor and threw her over his shoulder and grabbed Kagome's arm with his other hand.

“Suuichi what is the meaning of this put me down you are embarrassing me!”

Kurama paid her no mind, he would rather suffer her wrath later then have her exposed to demons or killed by them.

When he reached the front door dragging two protesting women behind him he knew it was too late. He could feel the demons coming, it would only take them a few seconds to ascend the long flights of stairs.

“Damn it were too late!”

Shiori gasped and scolded her son for such crude words but half her argument died on her lips as she watched many hideous forms surround her and their group.

Kurama placed his mother down gently and loosened himself up into a fighting stance. He would protect his mother and these people with his life.

He heard Kagome gasp from just behind him. “Demons! How..? Why now?”

He didn't have time to listen to anyone else's reaction as the mass of demons parted allowing a lone figure to stroll through unhindered.

“Well, Well, Well. It seems you have gotten careless Kurama!”

Kurama's back tensed as he recognized that voice. Slick black hair, tall lean body and sharp onyx eyes stood before him. Karasu was alive!

“Karasu!?!?! How…” Kurama was too shocked he didn't bother to deny his connection to the demon before him.

“How indeed. Hmm.” Karasu gave a small chuckle and pulled his thin lips into a smile.

“I believe you owe me a rematch.”

“I owe you nothing. Leave you are not suppose to be in this world.”

“Do you mean Ningenkai or the world of the living?” He questioned slyly, toying with Kurama and his patience.

“What happened to Yusuke and the others? What did you do to them?” Kurama snarled.

“Temper, temper. This is not the cool and collected Kurama I fought during the Dark Tournament.”

“What did you do to them?!!”

“Nothing, their still fighting for their lives back near the park. They didn't do such a good job stopping me now did they. Trying to buy you some time to get these humans to safety. Now Kurama, you know like every demon should, that humans are lower than us. Why save them when they only live a short lifespan anyway?”

“Who gives you the right to condemn a human to death just because you're a demon!!?!!”

The comment did not come from him. Kurama looked back to see Kagome's angry face directed towards Karasu. Her words bit hard but her stance was strong.

“Kagome please stay out of this, you don't…”

“No! I will not! I will not have my family endangered by this demon!”

“Woman you should learn to hold your tongue in front of a Youkai. I might just kill you!” Karasu smirked, gazing at her fondly, as if figuring out ways to torture and torment her.

“Suuichi…”

Shiori's words where low and frail. She didn't know how to react to this.

“Ah… this must be your infamous human mother! To think you risked so much to protect her. Now what's this,” Karasu lifted his nose delicately, taking in the scents around him. “Hmmm. Pregnant, isn't she?”

Kurama was becoming extremely pissed off, Karasu was threatening his mother and he could do nothing about it. If he so much as moved Karasu would react and launch and attack. He was just to close to his mother, to Kagome and her family. He needed to move.

“Oh, your mad aren't you! Hmm. Your angered at the fact that you can do nothing but stand there and wait for me to move, because you know if you do move these humans will die. So what are you going to do now Kurama.”

“Karasu, you wanted a battle with me correct?” Kurama's question was confirmed by a small tug at the corner of Karasu's lips. “Then leave them out of this, allow them to pass unharmed and I'll fight you, one on one.”

“What! No, Suuichi what are you doing, you've never fought before!” Shiori cried out, tears poured down her cheeks as she tugged on the hem of his pants.

“Mother please move somewhere safe, I won't let you get hurt. Think of the baby!”

Shiori cried even harder, pressing her face into his leg. Kurama couldn't move to comfort her or even look down at her, he needed to focus on Karasu.

“Your offer is a tempting one but I like the spice. I want to see you dance. I want to humiliate you in front of these people just like you did to me in the Dark Tournament!”

Kurama knew Karasu would waste no more time on words, he had run out of time to devise a plan to get the others out safely. Kurama immediately moved to the side, jumping over a kneeling Souta to get them all out of range from Karasu's attack.

“Ha so it finally begins!” Karasu yelled out as he launched himself into a forward attack.

Okay I had to leave it there. It was the best place to do so!

So did you all enjoy that chapter! I did! My heart was racing when I was typing up the part where Kurama found out demons were coming his way. No lie It truly was.

Any of you hate me yet!! I think you all do… I know it probably was not what you were expecting from their meeting, I mean how many authors gush on the feelings of love and attraction when the two meet.

Sure they are attracted to one another but it is only physical.

So yah Karasu is alive, that was the twist.

Now Kurama has to fight Karasu while keeping the others out of danger. This is going to get good.
