Well I suppose this is chapter 10, if you don’t include the prologue which I did last time hence some confusion! Don’t worry hopefully that’s cleared up for now. Hopefully in this chapter but probably the next one I’ll have us back up to date with the prologue. But don’t take my word for it, I haven’t a clue where to go with this right now, I have the gist of how I want this story to go in my mind its just getting the thoughts into words you know and filling in the gaps. Thanks for readings and your reviews. Merry Christmas!


The morning after the night before..

“ Nnngh! Sleepy, stop” The incoherent words spewed from Kagomes’ mouth and Kurama couldn’t prevent the grin from stretching across his lips as he kissed the juncture or her neck in a more determined fashion than previously. He barked out a laugh and rubbed his head when Kagome’s free hand clobbered him soundly before she giggled sleepily and turned from the annoying kitsune and burrowed under the nice warm covers again.

Kurama smirked mischievously as a golden gleam entered his eyes. He got out of the bed and steeled himself against the cold air of the room before pushing his hair out of his face and reaching for the boxers he found deposited on a lamp shade, he moved silently towards the bottom of the bed and grasped the covers. Kagome screamed as he yanked them off her tired body.

“Ahh! Shit Kurama, what have I ever done to you , you baka hentai kitsune give me my blanket! Mou, this is My home. Baka baka baka!” She fumed as she curled into herself trying to preserve as much body heat as possible. Kagome gasped as warm arms wrapped around her form and lifted her off the bed and stepped towards the bathroom. She smiled faintly as she burrowed her face into Kuramas’ neck ‘He still smells like roses, I could get used to this’. She out her feet on the cold tiled floor obediently as Kurama fiddled with the shower controls before turning the temperature dial.

“How hot do you like it?” Kagome nearly groaned at the statement and felt her face and other areas begin to heat up.

“Well ‘Rama, you should know right?” He grinned back at her.

“Very hot then.” He urged her towards the shower before kissing her chastely. “ We have much to talk about Kagome, take a shower and refresh yourself, I think I can figure out some sort of breakfast if that’s okay with you?”

Kagome reached up to peck his lips again, “ Calm down Kurama I can feel the nervousness in your aura, of course you can fix something up if you like” She smiled genuinely up at him as she stepped under the blast of hot water and closed the shower door over . She admired him is he freshened up over the sink as she lathered herself up before lathering her own body up. ‘Thank Kami these shower doors blur out the good bits eh?’ she thought humorously even though a telltale blush darkened her cheeks. She had just spent the night with Kurama. And she had liked it. A lot.

She rinsed her body and images of the previous night flitted through her mind as a dull twinge was felt in a most intimate area Kurama had worshipped thoroughly the night before. What were they going to do now she mused. Could they go back to normal? Did she want things to go back to how they where?

No. No she didn’t. She cared for Kurama immensely and was very attracted to him. He was mysterious and interesting and he was genuinely interested, with some effort they had the potential of a good relationship. She ignored the little voice in her brain that whispered thought of Hiei in her mind. She determinedly tried to push those thoughts away. Hiei wasn’t available like that, he was a friend. Kurama was ready for such a step and Hiei would probably impale me on his sword for even thinking about it. ’He obviously still feels for Mukuro, I can tell from the way in which he talks about her, he’s not interested and neither am I, I had enough of those types of relationships in the Feudal Era..’

This train of thought led her to examine her memories of the Feudal Era with the best people and friends she could ever ask for. A hint of a smile made itself known on her face even as her tears mingled with the water of the shower. Visions of dense forests skimming by her as she tried to look past the thick volume of silver hair towards the landscape in front of them as she whispered something to InuYasha that had his hands squeeze her thighs as he laughed heartily. Kagome swore she could still feel his fingers teasing the backs of her thighs.

She wiped her eyes and turned the shower off and let the excess water drip from her body before sliding the door open and moving into the bathroom and grabbing a towel for her body and after securing it grabbing yet another for her hair to squeeze any excess water from it.

Kagome moved into her bedroom in pilot mode as she grabbed her underwear and dropped the towel. Her nose picked up the wafting smell of breakfast and she grinned to herself. ‘Kurama didn’t have any problems then’. She moved towards her wardrobe and tugged a breezy golden kimono style top over her head before pulling on a pair of cut off leggings. She stopped at her vanity table and grabbed a hair tie before scooping her hair into loose high ponytail. Kagome began the walk down her small hall way slowly as she thought to herself about upcoming conversations. She knew she was going to have to tell Shippou about InuYasha, it wouldn’t be fair on either of them to keep it bottled up. She looked up in surprise when she bumped into the table in her kitchen before moving to sit in her chair.

“ Are you alright Kagome?” Kurama asked as he set the steaming omelettes in front of the little miko. “You seem like your in your own little world there, I hope you don’t mind omelettes? They where all I could think to throw together…”

“Eh? Oh no, no, no Kurama. It’s just I think… I think I’m gonna have to tell Shippou about what happened. With InuYasha” her voice had ended in a whisper and Kurama reached across the table to clasp her fingers in a reassuring grasp.

‘We give her the night of her life and she’s still thinking of a dead friend? Are you serious. In the Makai we learn to get on with it , death is a natural occurrence’ Youko snarled within his mind, now that he had had a taste of her the fox who shared his body was extremely possessive. ‘Well’ Youko snorted, ‘She is ours for the taking now. Perhaps we should slow it down though for now, convince her that it is us and only us whom she needs’. Kurama tried to keep a frown off his face, things were going deeper than he felt comfortable with at the start of what was only a potential relationship. Whilst the kitsune residing in him was all plans and tactics Kurama usually left the planning to the master while he waited for the chips to fall where they may and go from there.

“ To be honest I think that would be the best thing to do, the kit deserves to know. Perhaps this will help bring him closure I know your worried about him after discovering what happened after your untimely departure. I could be there though anata if you’d like me to be. Moral support as a friend if necessary?” He finished dejectedly. He raised his lush green orbs towards her face to gauge her reaction.

“Kurama, it’s just strange you know? I like you and I’m attracted to you and I care, you know I care I just don’t want to rush into things to fast you know?”

“ We could go as slow as you want Kagome, we can explore this if you want to. You know I’m interested but this decision belongs to you.” He ended solemnly as he recited the words Youko whispered in his ear. The fox was going abut things right, the lack of pressure and earnestness that oozed from his countenance worked in his favour.

“ I want to explore this to ‘Rama “ Kagome grinned at him “ Perhaps the first date shouldn’t begin in the bed again huh? We seem to be doing everything in reverse!” she laughed out in a joyful giggle than sounded like music to Kuramas’ ears.

“Yes Kagome I do believe your right, it would be highly inappropriate to do in a restaurant what we do in the bedroom. Now do eat up before those omelettes get cold”

His rich laughter filled the room as Kagome choked over the eggs she had previously been shuffling in caught in her throat.



Kurama had went with Kagome when she had went to tell Shippou about what happened. He watched with a surprising ache in his chest as he watched the proud young kitsune break down in front of his adoptive mother and he felt no jealously as she dropped his hand before moving forward to sit beside Shippou and stroke his hair as he tried to calm his tears. She was a good mother Kurama observed and it obviously wasn’t just some notion the two had harboured from previous adventured. They really cared for each other like family, Kagome easily fitting into the role of a mother consoling her child at the loss of his father. And this poor kit had to experience this type of situation before too. Kurama sympathised with the fact that the younger kitsune had too, been deprived the goodbye that would have provided more closure.

The kit would accept it though and learn to accept the pain and he had both Kurama and Kagome to help him and give support if he needed it. It was strange that he was willing to help Shippou when he had barely known the younger youkai.

‘Hell I almost ripped his throat out when I thought he had been a previous lover of Kagome’ he thought amusedly to himself. It had been about a week since they had shared their first night together. Kagome and he had ventured out on many dates during the week, at different times and locations every time. He smiled contentedly as he thought about the smiles of sheer happiness that Kagome exuded whether they where in a candle lit room surrounded by sensuous music or it they where in a clearing having a picnic when the heavens opened and they where drenched to the bone.

Surprisingly he wasn’t just worried about bedding the woman. He was still bedding her obviously, but he found that not all his thoughts on Kagome circled around their sexual encounters. Her mind intrigued him. She was a puzzle that he believed would never be solved, there were to many pieces that would forever remain unknown to him.


Shippou stared at the fox through his tears, he could smell him all over Kagome. So his mother had finally taken a lover after InuYasha then huh? He tried to help her wipe his eyes before he looked at her intently searching for any signs that she was uncomfortable or unhappy being around the Youko who resided in a ningen body. She seemed at ease for once. He watched her nod gently at Kurama and exchange a glance, a pretty blush creeping up her neck. If his mother was happy, he would bite his tongue for now, however the first step out of line from the ancient kitsune and all bets were off.

Shippou vowed to himself, if Youko Kurama hurt his mother Shippou Higurashi would annihilate him.



Hiei slowed down as he ventured closer towards the front door of Kagomes home. He had not visited her since before InuYasha’s death and Yukina had sent him with the message that she had missed her at lunch on Saturday. Hiei had easily volunteered himself up for the task of informing her and inviting her to Genkai’s compound for lunch with Yukina and Keiko to discuss Keiko’s later stages of labour and Yukinas’ mating with Kuwabara. He could smell the fox all over the place. He frowned to himself as he knocked almost hesitantly on the door. He heard Kagome calling out that the door would be opened now and he felt his eyes widen before he regained his composure as Kurama clad in underwear and a t-shirt answered the door.

“Hello Hiei, to what do we owe the pleasure?” Kurama asked innocently as Youko laughed gleefully in his mind. Hiei needed to realise that Kagome was his, he had won the battle the hybrid hadn’t even know he was participating in. He felt guilt ebb at him as the lost look flickered on Hieis’ face before his usual unemotional façade replaced it. It had changed so quickly Kurama hadn’t been certain he had witnessed such an event in the first place.

“ Yukina has been worried about Kagome it seems,” Hiei answered crisply. Kurama found himself feeling surprisingly nervous to seeing Kagome and Hiei reacting with one another. He mentally scolded himself and Youko heartily agreed as he thought to himself, he was in control of this situation now. He was with Kagome now and not with Hiei.

Hieis’ heart warmed at the sight of Kagome as she came in with a tray holding cups and a small ornate kettle which spouted a lazy stream of steam. He sniffed lightly and decidedly ignored the kitsune scent on Kagome and almost allowed a smile to crack his face. Mint tea. His favourite. And Kurama absolutely loathed it.

“Hiei! Sorry I haven’t visited in a while, I’ve been kind off busy lately” She looked at Kurama guiltily who returned her gaze with a leer and a wink. “How’s Yukina? And Keiko? Just a few weeks left to the birth now!”

“ Try to breath between sentences Kagome” Hiei advised indulgently “ Yukina and Keiko are fine, they wish for you to visit soon, Yukina has greatly missed your presence. Understandable living with that baka.”

“Now , now Hiei. Play nice you know Kuwabara cares for your sister a great deal and would protect her with all his being” Kurama admonished lightly. Hiei felt a bitter taste in his mouth and let out a grunt of neither approval or disapproval rather than telling the fox to fuck off like he ached too. He gulped down his tea quickly.

“ That is all Kagome, I’ll see you on the next mission I suppose, or at Yukinas’ if I’m present”. He stood quickly and almost let out a frustrated groan as a dainty female hand grasped his upper arm. He needed to get out of this room, the scent of their rutting too much for him. He needed to get away from Kagome and Kurama or so help him he thought he would remove the smirking kitsune’ head from his shoulders.

“Hiei? Are you alright? Maybe you should sit back down. You look rather pale. Why are you leaving so quickly anyways?! You haven’t been here longer than ten minutes!?!”

‘Ten minutes to long’ he thought as he turned to look at Kagome with unemotional eyes before brushing away her hand. “ I am fine Kagome, I have somewhere I need to be” ‘Away from here’ “ I’ll take my leave then.”

Kagome stared after his helplessly feeling that ill in her stomach for some reason as Kurama caressed her arm comfortingly. “ Hiei’s surprised that’s all, it takes him a while to deal with changes” he nuzzled behind her ear before moving forward to whisper “Your looking rather poorly yourself, perhaps we should get you back to bed…”

Kagome stifled giggles as she forced the dull ache of worry to the back of her mind before turning and kissing her way up Kuramas own jaw to whisper back “ I think that’s the most intelligent comment you’ve said all day, HEY!” she yelped as she was tossed roughly over Kuramas’ strong shoulder towards the familiar path to her bedroom.

She sighed happily as Kurama began unbuttoning her shirt with practised ease. She was being paranoid and everything was fine, her mind overacting after the stressful few days. Nothing had changed, nothing at all.

A few miles away Hiei ran at a furious pace with his sword outstretched as he hacked his way through a few of the larger tree’s in some random thick foliage he had uncovered. He paused to wipe the sweat off his brow as his chest heaved furious at his pace. His chest ached in more than one sense at the thought of Kurama and Kagome together. He wished to rip the image from his mind and banish it from ever gracing his thoughts again. Why was he feeling like this? Why did it hurt so much to see Kagome with another, she was not his to claim and be jealous of after all?
The forbidden child had a lot to think about. Everything was different now.
