A/N: Thanks to all my reviewers so far: DarkIceKitsune, HarukoSisters, and Kuroune'sForbiddenLover on Fanfiction.net. Here is the next chapter for you.
Where we last left off:
"She seems pretty advanced for a child," Kurama observed.
"She is a demon child after all," I replied.
She toddled over to Kurama.
"Papa Karma!" she exclaimed.
Uh-oh!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
/Kurama's POV/
I stared at the child who just called me "Papa Karma."
Cute kid. See, she obviously wants us to be her father.
But she must already have a father. Kagome must already have a mate.+
She told us before in her story, red, remember?
Of course I did. I did not want to admit my feelings towards Kagome until I was assured that she felt the same way about me.
"Meilin," Kagome laughed as she scooped up her child, "he's not your daddy."
"That's alright," I assured her, "I don't mind her calling me that."
Kagome's eyes softened at my expression.
"Ok, then," Yusuke said, "well I have to go and meet up with Kayko. See you later Kagome, Kurama."
"Bye Unca Yuske!" Meilin cried.
He waved and left, leaving me with Kagome.
Now's your chance! Go get her!
Stop it, Yoko+
Kagome turned to me and laughed.
"I'm sorry about that," she said once she put Meilin down on the floor. She toddled off into the kitchen, crying out "ramen" as she ran past me.
"I have no reason to be offended, Kagome," I replied, "I don't mind her calling me that. It makes my intentions much easier."
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
Yoko decided to take over my body at that time.
"You see," Yoko said, "I really do like you. I want you as my mate."
"Why did your voice change?" she asked, suddenly frightened, "and...mate?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
Kurama changed his voice...That must be Yoko again.
Tears started coming into my eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I have a daughter whose father doesn't give a damn about her!" I sobbed, "he hates me and tried to kill me. It was because of him that I almost lost Meilin."
"You know that I am here for you, right?" Yoko purred.
"Really?" I asked, hoping that it was true.
"Yes," Kurama came back, "Yoko and I are here. What this creep did to you, I hope he gets what he deserves. No one deserves to be put through this pain, not even you. I will be here for you; for you and your child."
"How can you care about me when you have only just met me?" I asked, suddenly doubtful.
"I can feel it, in my soul," he responded, "I feel as if we were meant to be."
He handed me a rose.
I suddenly realized that he meant it. I did feel a connection when we met earlier that day.
I looked up at him. He really does care for me.
We both do, kitten a voice purred. Yoko.
Kitten. I like the sound of that.
Kurama leaned towards me and lightly pressed his lips against mine. My eyes widened at his sudden gesture.
He pulled away, apologizing profusely.
"I like you, Kurama," I replied, "I really do. I just need to take it slow and not rush into things."
He nodded, completely understanding me. He smile at me, and I smiled back.
He's so cute!
"Now," I changed the subject, "How about you stay for dinner and then you can help me with my math homework?"
I pouted, showing my displeasure at the thought of math homework.
He laughed, realizing that I hated the subject.
We both went into the dining room, joining my family for dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
It's been about a month since Kurama and I actually mated. It didn't take us that long. I used my miko energy to "erase" the mate mark that I received from Inuyasha.
I was finally happy. We decided to stay apart until we were both done with school. He wanted to stay near his mother while I felt that it was still my duty to protect the shrine.
I finally got to meet Koenma, Prince of Spirit World. He seemed actually surprised that I was the guardian of the Shikon Jewel, since I was the new jewel.
He assigned Kurama to protect me whenever we were not on missions. Of course, I wasasked to jointhe Spirit Detectives. I politely declined since Yusuke was recently kicked off the team since becoming the Ma-zoku.
I now stood with Kurama, waiting to leave for demon world. Meilin was at home with my mother; I put up a barrier around the shrine to protect them.
We were headed to demon world to meet with Yomi, one of the three main powers of demon world. The other two were Raizen, Yusuke's ancestral father, and Mukuro, another strong demon.
I met them all once before, during the construction of the barriers between the worlds.
Yomi, as it turns out, is an old friend of Yoko's. They used to work together centuries ago.
"I'll be alright, mom," Kurama spoke into the phone, "you two have fun on your honeymoon."
He hung up the phone.
"She's having fun?" I asked.
"Yes, they both are enjoying it," he replied.
We soon departed for demon world. I haven't been here in years, so everything was still pretty new to me. I was in my miko clothes, but my I didn't hide my demon attributes.
We were greeted by some random demons, which Kurama quickly disposed of.
"Was that really necessary?" Kurama asked the lone figure walking towards us.
"I cannot see like I used to, remember?" Yomi asked. He was blinded centuries ago. I found him wounded and tried to help him, but it didn't work.
He turned towards me.
"You seem familiar," he said.
"It's been years since I last saw you, Lord Yomi," I bowed respectfully, "You seem to have adjusted well to this change in your life. I am sorry that I was not able to help you regain your eyesight then."
"You are the miko who I met centuries ago?" he asked, "how are you still alive?"
"I am half cat demon now," I explained, "I also happen to be a distinct relative to Raizen."
"Ah," he said in awe, "I see it now."
