 She pretended to be full of ramen and arranged the container to feed Kirara. That was when it happened. She did something, she wasn't sure what, but she somehow dropped the bag.

 `Oh no!' “Kirara get out of there!” Kirara sprung to life, jumped out of the bag and into Kagome's awaiting arms.

 “Kagome, what exactly are you holding?”

 Kagome was panicking. `How do I explain this?' “Well...”

Noticing her nervous fidgeting and lack of response, Kurama coaxed the girl's admission. “I'm certain the truth would present the easiest explanation.”

It amazed him how the calm, collected enchantress he met only a few hours ago flustered and near tears before him.

Kagome had no other alternative. She had to tell him the truth or at least an altered version thereof. She stared lamentfully at her lap and scratched Kirara's head complacently. “Shuuichi, this is my cat,” she got out before her body quivered and she began sobbing. “I guess I just didn't want to leave her all alone at the house without me. I mean, she isn't really used to my family or my house, but she is used to traveling with me. I'm really sorry. I didn't want to burden you or your mother after everything you must be dealing with to put me up. I just-”

Doing something he rarely did because of how rude he felt it was, Shuuichi interrupted the distraught girl. “Kagome,” he calmly asserted her attention. “I don't mind a cat. You certainly are not by any means imposing.” Although he did not sense a complete confession from her, he could perceive complete and utter honestly coupled with her genuine tears.

She looked up at him and squeezed Kirara to her lightly. “You really mean that?”

He slowly came toward her and gently pulled her forward out of her chair and to a standing position. His fingers delicately met her chin and raised it so her eyes met his. He stared at her intently. “Yeah, I do.”

He was being so nice. He was like a more interesting Houjo. If only her heart hadn't been shattered. She might have jumped at the chance to be with him before the well happened. Before the jewel happened. Before Inuyasha happened.

Still in her lonely stupor, Kagome did not realize the downward movement of Kurama's lips towards hers. She was not aware of the sets of ruby or chocolate eyes watching. She was, however, aware of a familiar sensation she should not have felt. She quickly turned her head in its direction.

“Shuuichi, I'll be right back.”

Before either Youko, Shuuichi, or Kurama could acknowledge what had just happened, she had fled.

{What the FUCK just happened!!! She can't do that!}

 [`That's never happened before.']

{`Well it certainly never happened to me. Damn human body.'}

Shuuichi and Youko stopped their quibbling upon hearing an unfamiliar chuckle from a very familiar figure.

Yusuke's mind felt like the world was imploding. First a girl resists Kurama, the probable inspiration for the Kama Sutra, and then HIEI of all people is in hysterics rolling around on the sidewalk.

“Okay. What the hell is going on here? What just happened?”

Just waking up Kurama could only mutter, “She turned me down. That's never happened before.”

“So what. It's probably only been a couple hundred years since you got rejected by a girl. Hey look at it this way. It'll be another couple hundred til another girl turns you down.”

“You don't seem to grasp my meaning,” he muttered trying to recompose himself. “That has never happened before.”

“EVER?!” Yusuke bellowed.

“No hahah. That's wha hahaha. That's w hahaha,” stammered.

“And what the hell is up with you?”

A very irritated and angry Kurama answered, “I'm afraid the only pleasure he takes in life is my embarrassment in retribution for Youko's defamation and uncomfortable innuendoes.”

`Whoa. I don't get it. Is this a dream?'

“Alright, that was funny, but I'm kinda ready to wake up now.”

“We seem to be in agreement, Yusuke.”

Suddenly Hiei's incessant laughter stopped and he rose quickly. “She's coming back.”

“Alright! Let's get a front row seat. I can't wait to see what's gonna happen now.” Just as the detective and the koorime hid from view, Kagome rounded the corner and returned short of breath.

“I'm...sorry...left...Shuuichi.” After a short period, she regained her breath and continued. “I wasn't trying to just leave you here. She leaned in close to his ear. He was much taller than she, so she had to grab his forearm and shoulder to support herself on her tip toes. To a passerby, she appeared to be pecking him on the cheek.

“I had to make a pit-stop to the little girls' room.”

Did she have to whisper it like that? She sounded breathy and seductive, as if she were trying to arouse him. Well, she didn't have to try. Her soft whispers caused him to shiver and the hair on his neck to stand up. And the way her hands brushed up against him...He was fighting hard (figuratively and literally) to not lose control.

The mental images in his head were not helping him at all. Youko was going insane. It was too bad for Yusuke that all the sensual energy Kurama generated fantasizing would shortly be converted to anger as the Detective would try to pry the fox from Kagome.
