Hi guys! Thanks for the reviews, I love when you review because it just like makes me want to write more and more you know? I’m sorry about the spelling mistakes etc too, I’m kind of still finding my feet with the writing for enjoyment thing and not having a reasoning behind the action and hey I am only a teenager, we’re kind of allowed to make mistakes >.< Thanks again for reviewing , no matter what comment I try to take everything in mind and thanks for the inspiration!

PS Shippous eyes are blue in this story, I thought it would be too strange if he and Kurama shared to many physical attributes

Sadly I own neither Yu Yu Hakuso or Inu Yasha. I like to think I do now and again, but sadly I don’t. Damn.

A Second Chance for Heartbreak

11 Months Previously


The next few weeks at Kagome Higurashis’ small home were filled with joy at being reunited with whom she considered her son for all intents and purposes. After her initial shock and enough tears that would put a flood to shame Kagome finally accepted that the Kamis or even Koenma were giving her life true meaning again and she was no longer part of the monotonous world but rather she felt that she was in on a big secret that only a select few were enlightened about.

Kagome and Shippou had stayed up until the morning rays were streaming through the window talking and reminiscing about their feudal adventures and Kagome was rather amused that she found herself in the position that Shippou himself had taken up several times during their travels with her head on his lap as he stroked her hair. Shippou had deemed it okay for this partial role reversal seeing as he towered rather gracefully over her 5 ft 2 frame by over a foot and received an impromptu slap for voicing his opinion on the matter. Apparently height was still an issue.


“So how is everyone, Inu Yasha? Koga? Everyone, what are they doing? Are they here in Ningenkai too?” The questions spilled from her lips before she could stop herself as she stared up into the blue eyes that sparkled with mischief and she felt her heart stop when the rhythmical stroking of her hair paused before picking up the motion. She sat in silence waiting for him to compose an answer and kami help him if he thought he could lie to her. He may have grown into an extremely handsome demon with his tan skin stretching over a muscled body that still retained a lithe quality rather than over muscled and a face most men would sell their soul for with well defined cheekbones and a strong jaw that helped his flame of hair accentuate his fox like eyes that retained their animalistic quality even in his human form but she was still his mother and as his mother she knew when he tried to tell her lies.

“ Kaa-san, I uh..Please be patient it’s jus-just still hard for me to relive that day, the day you were taken from us, I was so angry Kaa-san. Please understand that” he all but gasped out, his eyes beginning to water. Kagome sat up suddenly at his tone and turned around to face him before bringing wiping his tears away with the pads of her thumbs and pulling him into a tight embrace.

“ Understand what Ship? You have to tell me for me to understand honey, I promise I’ll try not to get mad or anything. Miko swear!”

Shippou chuckles were watery as he attempted to compose himself enough to give a straight answer. “ I, I don’t really know what happened too everyone after you left, Kaa-san I was so angry and shocked and so was everyone else, you where there and then that stupid jewel, that life destroyer took you away from me, so soon… so soon after I lost my real parents and then taking away the woman who was most important in my life so soon after… I r-ran Kaa-san. I ran way from everyone. I’m sorry, you must be so disappointed in me, I think I should just lea-” He was cut off when he found himself clutched desperately to his mothers chest as she made soft noises of reassurance and rubbed his back tenderly. Her soft words soothed the ache in his soul. “ I understand Shippou, you were so young


It must have been so hard for you. My poor baby, this isn’t your fault if its anybody’s its mine or even the Jewel’s fault. But I’m here now and you know I’m never leaving don’t you? I’m here forever Ship, not just for the next few decades. I’ll be your kaa-san as long as you need or want me to be honey”. Shippou nuzzled her neck as his breathing steadied, funny, he was almost certain she had said she’d be here forever, an immortal like a demon. “Kaa-san” he sniffed “What do you mean, your human I’ve accepted that .That’s why I’m here. To be with you for as long as I can. I was denied a childhood with you as my mother so I thought 50 to 60 years with you might be worth living here in Ningenkai. I want to be there for when you need me I’m okay with your mortality kaa-san don’t indulge me because I’m upset.”

“Well, it seems like you’ve got the wrong end of the stick don’t you Shippou. Close your eyes and focus your youkai. Do you sense the Jewel anywhere in the house?”

“I don’t sense it in any other room, it’s in here. It’s like it’s right in front of me” His eyes shot open and he stared incredulously at his mother. “It’s directly in front of me, it’s pulling at my youkai. You’re the only thing in front of me. Kaa-san” he drawled out before inhaling deeply “What the fuck did you do?”

“Uh…”

“Please Kaa-san, tell me you didn’t wish on that god forsaken thing. Even if you did, lie to me.”

Kagome laughed at this, here was her little Shippou looking like quite an exasperated father, it was strange. He was well over 500 years old and his masculine face still held the traits of childish innocence and yet the glint in his eye that came with experience contradicted his cherubic smile. He didn’t look a day older than 25 at most and like Kagome he would stay like this, in his prime, forever. “Well Shippou, I’m sorry to tell you that it’s not that simple. When The jewel brought me back to the present. Well, my present time it kind of did something to me.”

“What exactly did it do Kaa-san?”. Kagome knew that to look away from his eyes at this second in time was dangerous, the little baka was growling at her as it was. ‘Oh damn, he’s gonna be so mad at me’.

Kagome mumbled out an answer even the youkai with the best of hearing would have trouble deciphering. “ Again kaa-san. Louder.”

“Well I uh, it ah…it merged with my body basically making me immortal to guard it for all eternity I guess?”

Shippous eyes widened until verging on ridiculous and Kagome might have laughed if the situation had been any different. ‘Kaa-san, I get to keep Kaa-san forever, my mother will never be taken away from me again…’

Kagome didn’t see him move until he was above her on the floor where they had fell. Shippou was clutching her to himself as if never to let her go laughter echoing around the room and happy tears streaming down both their angelic faces. “So your not mad at me then Shippou, you looked pretty mad there for a second?”

“Well, I thought you’d done something stupid like sell your soul or something, it wouldn’t surprise me with you. If you thought it would make other people happy you wouldn’t think twice about doing it regardless of what it meant for you . So really mama, your really here forever like a youkai?” Her son was practically glowing, she thought he had been happy when she woke up a few hours after her slight shock upon hearing a grown man at her door calling her kaa-san, but now at the thought of never being parted from her through human mortality her son looked glorious, like the sun shone through his entire body bursting through to dazzle everyone around through his eyes and smile and she couldn’t help but return it with one of equal beauty herself.

After claiming Kagome’s spare room over a week Shippou had decided that whilst he loved his mother he most certainly did not want to live in the same house as her, her company and closeness he simply adored. But holy shit, he was 507 years old and he knew how to look after himself, including remembering to turn the switches off at night, feed himself and wash close. He was a Youkai not a barbarian dammit! So after a long discussion with Kagome they had decided that although they loved each other greatly walking in on Kagome during a bath perhaps they were a bit to old to be sharing her rather small but cosy home and so She would be helping Shippou buy a house of his own.
It hadn’t taken long for them to discover a place that would be rather perfect for him on the outskirts of Tokyo. Close enough to the town centre and a mere half an hour from Kagomes place and yet only 10 minutes (at a sprint) from the forest. The kitsune could only thrive at such an environment and Kagome was genuinely pleased for him although she was rather annoyed that they had only had several days of sheer bonding . Shippou’s new 4 bedroom, two story house would not have been found if not for Keiko and Kuramas help when they found out the small family’s condition, Keiko helping to be a good friend towards Kagome who had become a rather dear confidant and aid with her pregnancy and the latter simply because he didn’t like the idea of another kitsune in on his turf, it simply wasn’t allowed. However Kurama also sympathised with Shippou about him missing the abundant nature that covered nearly every surface of the Makai, as a kitsune the lack of nature pained his soul and he was certain the same went for Shippou.
Kagome surprised a smile as she hauled another bag into the back of the shiny car Shippou has procured for himself, ‘Humph, stupid demon thieves with their hordes of money stashed in every nook and cranny in their dens, well I suppose I shouldn’t complain. Rekai is paying me a rather handsome fee and all I’ve done so far is purify a few low level demons who where in the process of attacking humans’. Her mind wandered back to the morning after Shippous arrival when after finally getting to bed for about 3 hours she was awoken by a vicious knocking on her front door that she was certain it didn’t deserve. She stumbled to the door and opened it whilst rubbing her eyes of the residue of sleep. “ Oh Yusuke? To what do I owe the pleasure at this fine hour, of 8 o’clock in the morning?”

“Who the fuck is that Kagome, what was this Kurama was saying down my phone last night about some DEMON turning up to your door, your lucky I wasn’t here earlier. Keiko had a bit of a rough night, she just can’t get comfortable when she gets into bed, I swear I’ve never seen a person use so many pillows in my life…Shit, what the fuck an I talking about who the fuck is this demon Kurama nearly had a shit attack about because you threw him out ?”

“That demon has a name you know. Shippou. It’s a pleasure I’m sure.” Kagome turned to scold him for being rude when she suddenly looked at his state of dress or undress . The little shit just marched on out in his boxers. She looked down at herself and the large t-shirt that was the only thing covering her, and then back at Shippou. She turned her gaze to Yusuke who was standing there looking quite startled and frowning with brotherly concern. “Kags, your not fuckin-”. He never finished that statement. Kagome’s fist crashed into his skull before he could.
“OF COURSE NOT BAKA. Kuso, this is my SON Yusuke, the one I ADOPTED during the feudal era. Kami, you big hentai Yusuke, hentai baka!” she fumed. Shippou looked on in amusement as Yusuke spluttered out “This is Shippou? I thought you said he was a kit…oh, OH!” He thrust his hand out towards the amused auburn haired man and smiled genuinely for the first time since leaping out the door this morning. “ I’m glad to meet you, how did you get here? I’m Yusuke, Urameshi Yusuke!”

Shippou shook his hand gingerly, ‘well this is new, I wonder what he wants me to do now? Do I keep shaking his hand?’

They probably would still be shaking hands now if she hadn’t explained the essence of a handshake Kagome snickered as she tucked yet another box in safely. That had been a good day she decided. Yusuke had left eventually after a round of questions and cornered everyone into going for a picnic. Keiko’s request, and he couldn’t deny the woman. Whilst he could look any demon in the eye with a complete lack of fear, one glare from his wife promising pain and a major case of blue balls had him quivering in fear. And anyways, in her emotional state and carrying his child he found he just couldn’t deny her anything she wished.

The lunch itself had been a raucous event. After the greetings between the group of friend’s and the new comer the tension that had been sizzling and ready to spark at any second disappeared and Kagome couldn’t have been prouder of Shippou, he was quite the gentleman and definitely new when to put on the charm however she frowned as she thought about his outrageous flirting with Shizuru and Boton. Whilst Shizuru could more than handle him, which amused Kagome to no end, Boton did not have any notion in her mind as to how to react to this attractive male and was quite flattered. She had not been able to meet Boton before unlike the other’s who she’d hung out with on several occasions from her lunches and dinners with Kurama to shopping for the baby with Keiko, Shizuru or even popping in at Genkai’s old place to visit Yukina and more often than not finding both Hiei and Kuwabara present there also more often than nought. Kagome thought Boton to be a nice girl, with childlike innocence , a pretty little thing too. She could imagine Shippou liking her, he also had a fondness for pretty things.

Shaking her thoughts Kagome grinned mischievously at Shippou’s back as he went to lock up the house before making a running dash and leaping on his back securing her arms around his long neck and laughed as his hands automatically caught her legs in an easy grip. “Silly kaa-san! I seen that coming a mile off OWW!” He yelped as her tugged a lock of his hair sharply “You know your hairs nice too mother, no reason to try rip mines off my head!” They both laughed merrily at their inside joke, whilst Shippou loved shiny things Kagome simply adored hair. Any other than her own of course, she sighed.

After closing the door and locking it, they walked towards the car together and climbed in for the journey. Shippou had picked up the art of driving after seeing the funny looking metal contraptions on day 2 of his Ningenkai adventures and Kagome felt rather disgruntled that he had picked up driving after one day of lessons with her. ‘Stupid youkai’s’ she inwardly fumed as she watched him change gears before changing lanes. Some minutes passed before they found themselves travelling up what was to become a familiar route and Kagome admired the craftsmanship of whoever built this gorgeous structure, his collaboration of the modern home and nature blending together easily. Kagome watched Shippou from the corner of her eye as he practically glowed of excitement and pride at his new home and she found she couldn’t stop the smile from crossing her features. ‘My baby’s all grown up!’

Hiei felt a great sense of ease pass over his entire self as Kagome entered through the portal to Koenma’s office and he allowed himself simply to bask in her presence. It had been day’s since he had seen her. Far too long in his own opinion, for what exact reason he couldn’t understand. He knew he was attracted to her but he had never before allowed his attraction for a woman to get in the way of his life and hell he wasn’t exactly a blushing virgin. Whilst Hiei was feared for his unstable blood and even just his reputation in the Makai that did not mean he didn’t get his fair share of attention from the female populous. Though he had shared intimate situation’s with these women he had felt no emotional needs with them, it had been merely sex for both parties, bad sex, good or even grat sex but sex and that alone none the less. Hiei willed himself to stop mentally undressing the woman in front of him before he embarrassed himself in front of everyone. He could already smell the foxs’ growing arousal but glady not that of the idiot or the detective.
‘That pervert doesn’t even bother trying to cover his scent!’ he glared heatedly at the fox who was to busy staring at Kagome with a look that could only be described as hunger, and Hiei again felt jealousy. An emotion he only seemed to feel with things concerning this woman. What is it about her?


Kurama on the other hand was having a more interesting argument seeing as there were two people arguing inside his head.
‘You want her Suuichi, you know it. I want her aswell be assured we will have her. If only you’d let me out a little I would be more than happy to persuade her into our bed. Can’t you see it already? You, me, us? Buried to the hilt , those lovely legs wrapped around OUR waist. Let me do it Suuichi. I swear to you, let me out and I’ll bring her to our bed.’ Youko whispered this seductively into Kurama’s mind. Kurama was having a hard time disagreeing with Youko and in the past few monthes this had been an ongoing argument between the two that usually ended up with Kurama and a searing migraine. He thought of the pro’s and con’s of allowing Youko out. He admitted to himself, that he was interested. Not just in her body but her mind and he wanted to learn all off her. He knew she was attracted to him. Perhap’s she still needed time but the attraction was there between the two. However, he had not missed the stolen glances that were being shared between his hybrid friend and the woman he believed would be his and knew that he needed to up the game a little. Whilst he knew Kagome was attracted to him he had been there the first time Kagome and Hiei had met and had seen the instant spark that was kindled. They hadn’t spoken a word yet and Kurama knew already that his friend was interested, and Kurama was stunned. Whilst he had seen Hiei gaze lustfully at a woman before he had never seen him enamoured without even the passing of a word from her mouth and a human female , if he himself hadn’t felt attracted to the power oozing from her from the moment she stepped in the room or the lithe body she possessed he might have found Hiei’s situation humorous. As it was, he didn’t . Hiei was the competition.

‘Alright Youko, it’s a deal.’
