Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ In A Kitsune's Embrace ❯ Awareness Is The Key ( Chapter 5 )

Disclaimer- I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha but I do love to write about them.




Kagome leaned against the head board of her bed with Dachu an her lap and Shippo curled up on her side. She glanced at the bedside clock which read 1:19. Sighing heavily she pulled Dachu up higher on her stomach so the she was carrying him and got of her bed quietly. Not one noise was heard and neither of the boys stirred. She gently shook Shippo and whispered to the half asleep boy, “ Shippo, honey, I have to go see Inuyasha for a bit. Could you mind staying with Shuicci?” The sleepy-eyed child rubbed his eyes before shaking his head no. Kagome smiled at him and hefted Dachu more securely around her waist. He gave her his small hand and Kagome took it gently and led him to the door which she opened silently.




They crept towards Kurama’s door silently, careful not to wake their sleeping host who was sleeping in the room across from theirs Kurama’s room was the next door on the right. She stopped before it, hesitantly knocked on once, before opening it ajar. She knew at once that he knew she was there for she heard his small intake of breath that her youkai senses allowed her to hear. But she was to distracted to care. For his room smelt heavenly to her and it smelled like-




“ Roses.” The pure white kitsune was awake and had been since Kagome told her of the jewel shard in the museum. “ He smells like roses with a tint of vanilla. Foxes always have smelled very good. The best I should say.” Kagome inwardly laughed at her counterpart but had to admit the Kurama’s smell was magnificent. And the rose happened to be one of her main weapons. She took in another small breath and let the smell sooth her.




I should get this kind of candle scent. It smell’s really good. I’ve never tried this combination.




Kaoru snorted. “ All you have to do is stand next to him and I’m sure you’ll get a better candle. If it’s lighted or not.” Kagome couldn’t hold in her snort of laughter at the kitsune’s bluntness and pervetedness. Shippo pulled her hand slightly and she suddenly remembered where she was. Her face heated up slightly and she mumbled a sorry to Shippo who was beginning to nod off again. She began walking up to the red head’s bed; half dragging Shippo along. But as she stood over him she couldn’t help but admire his beauty. Even if it was a bit on the feminine side. She definitely knew by now that he knew she was there but that didn’t stop her from scanning him over.




His red hair framed his completely peaceful face and Kagome was sorry that she wasn’t able to see his beautiful emerald eyes behind his closed lids. The moonlight shown on his elegantly pale skin which was only covered by a t-shirt and his small sheet. She gulped and straightened before calling out to him softly. “ Shuicci, Shuicci.” His green orbs opened up slightly and then widened when they saw her form. He sat up abruptly and Kagome had to admit that he was a very good actor.




“ Kagome,” he said sleepily, “ What are you doing here?” He saw the two kids with her and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. " And Shippo and Dachu?” Kagome couldn’t help but laugh at him and the sound brought Shippo out of his sleepiness. He hugged Kagome’s legs tightly and yawned hugely.




“ I’m truly sorry to bother you, Shuicci, but I need a huge favor.” She bit her lip as a half lie came pouring out of them. “ You see, when I was at the museum I lost a very important jewelry of mine and I need it back. So I’m going down there to see if I can get it back .” She looked at him innocently as Shippo had to muffle his laugh in her pants. That was one of the most absurd lies she’d ever told, but it was almost…believable. Kagome just looked blankly at Kurama and tried to hide her smile as well. Kaoru was rolling around in her mind laughing. Kurama looked at her incredulously.




“ I can’t believe she just said that.” Youko was laughing in the background as he said this.




“ But it’s almost believable.” Kurama frowned and looked at Kagome for a moment before nodding his head.




“ You need me to watch Shippo and Dachu.” He smiled at her and Kagome‘s heart skipped a beat. “ I’ll be happy to do so. But I must say. That is the most original lie I’ve ever heard. But I trust you shall be back soon.”




Kagome’s smile never faltered. “ Thank you so much, Shuicci. Here,” she handed the sleeping Dachu to the older kitsune. He fidgeted slightly before relaxing in Kurama’s gentle arms. Shippo climbed into the bed and sat beside him. Kagome couldn’t help but smile at the picture. Shippo looked so much like Kurama. “ Well I’m going to go. I’ll be back soon.” She backed out of the door way with the smile still on her face and as she closed the door she heard a small voice whisper,




“ Goodbye Mommy.”




“ You know, I had a lover who used to call me by that name.”




You just seriously ruined the moment, Kaoru.

Kagome opened her drawer, hoping to find the outfit that she usually wore for battle. But as she was moving to take it out of the it’s compartment a voice sounded in her head.




“ Don’t wear that. It’s to bright. People might see you. Here, I have something better.”




Before Kagome could even respond to what the kitsune had said a bright blue flash of light covered her form. Her eyes closed softly while a ring of white encircled her body. It went from the tips of her feet to the last strand on her head and by the time it was over she was completely transformed. Her long black hair was let down and held back by a black bandana. Her outfit was like that of Sango’s youkai exterminating clothing except without the armor and it was a pants and shirt type of thing with the shirt right under her belly. A loose skirt went over the leather pants and the same material vest went over the shirt. Her leather boots went over the pants securely and Kagome found the outfit…fitting. She smiled to her selves and waited for, what she knew she would get, Kaoru’s explanation.




“ I used wear this on my more extravagant missions. It’s very useful, actually, as you’ll probably see.” The pure white kitsune laughed lightly when the miko wrinkled her nose daintily. “ Come on, now. We have to leave now. We don’t want to rouse the curiosity of that scrumptious kitsune, do we? The curiosity of our race is renowned.” Then she added after a bit of a silence, “ And where did you get that ridiculous lie from?”

Kagome’s head turned as she landed on the roof of the museum building. Her unbraided hair whipped behind her, rising as the wind lifted it gently into the air. She focused her eyes on the ground below to where two guards were stationed in front of the museum doors. Now how should I deal with them.




She jumped down silently and gracefully from the roof and landed behind one of the unsuspecting guards. Before he could turn around and notice her she had knocked him in the head. His body made a soft thud on the ground and Kagome gave a small grin when the other guard simply kept walking. She crept silently behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. It’s time to show him that even guards can be seduced.




The man turned around sharply but blinked in confusion when he saw Kagome smiling at him seductively. “ Excuse me, miss, but no one is allowed on these grounds after hours. You may come back tomorrow when the museum opens at nine o’clock.”




Kagome inwardly smirked. “ I’m sorry, sir ,” Kaoru was the one speaking now seeing as Kagome’s voice would have betrayed her laughter. “ But I thought I saw some men chasing after me and then I saw you.” She batted her eyelashes suggestively. “ I thought maybe you could protect me seeing as your so strong and handsome.” She was now up in his face, whispering into his ear. She could smell the arousal on him clearly and smirked mischievously. Sliding her hands up to fasten around his neck Kagome took out one of her rose petals and focused her miko energy into it. She threw it into a the trashcan near her and it immediately caught on fire. She pulled away from the guards sweating body and pointed behind him. “ Your trash can’s on fire.”




His eyes widened considerably before he spun around and took off his jacket trying to bat the fire with it. Kagome smirked for the third time that night before silently stealing through the museum glass doors.

Kurama was staring at the stealing of his room when the shrill sound of his compact when off. He quickly checked to see if it woke up any of the children and breathe a sigh of relief when it didn’t.




“ Getting attached to them, are you? ”




Kurama decided not to answer him and instead preferred to open his compact device. Botan’s cheery voice filtered through the room as she told him that Koenma wanted him in his office. Before he could say anything she already closed off.




He gave an aggravated sigh. What was he to do with Shippo and Dachu…




______________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________




The Spirit Detectives gaped when Kumara came through the portal. Even Hiei had a hard time stopping himself from widening his eyes. Kurama, in turn, ignored them while Youko was roaring with laughter in the back of his head.




“ Do you see their faces, Red. This is what you ningens call a Kodak Moment.”




Even Kurama had a hard time trying to hide his chuckles. He casually strolled towards the only couch in Koenma’s office and laid the still sleeping Dachu on it. Shippo climbed up next to his brother wit a grin on his face that he flashed around the room warming Botan’s heart instantly. “ Is Mama here?,” he asked inquisitively in his small childish voice, looking up at the smiling Kurama. “ And where is here?”




Gasps went around the room again and this time Kurama couldn’t stop the laughter from spilling out. The rest of the gang was still gaping and Shippo was grinning madly as if he knew what was happening. “ What the hell’s happening, Kurama? And how come you didn’t tell us you had kids?” He pointed accusingly at both boys and Shippo’s grin fell into a curious frown.




“ Who’s Kurama? And there are more kids?” The grin returned to his face and he started hopping up and down as he got of the chair. “ Where are they? Where are they? Where are they?” They had a hard time focusing there eyes on the bouncing child as he practically jumped off the walls. His brother groggily opened his sapphire blue eyes and the only person who seemed to notice was Hiei.




“ Fox, the other’s awake.” His monotonous voice rifted through the room and Shippo stopped in his tracks. He looked back at his brother before quickly running over to him and holding his head in his chubby little hands.




“ Please don’t cry, Dachu.” And it became apparent to them that the little boy was crying. He nodded at his older brother and Shippo stared at the group of people around him. “ Where’s my mommy?,” he demanded, “ She said she was going to see Inuyasha.” Kurama, who had seated himself beside the two boys frowned thoughtfully. So that’s where she’d gone. “ She told Mister Shu’chi a really bad lie and knew it, right Mister Shu’chi?” The red head nodded his head in affirmitive.




“ So their not you sons?,” the question came from a very confused Kuwabara who was now staring at the two kids. Especially the one that looked like Kurama himself.




It was not Kurama who answered him, though. “ No. Mister Shu’chi isn’t my father. My Daddy died by really mean people who wanted to use his furs for their belt. But Mama saved me and then she and Inuyasha killed them. Mama saves a lot of people.” You could plainly see the child-like adoration in his eyes. But something he said made Kurama stand at a pause. But before he coukd question on it Koenma interrupted him.




“ Will you two come here for a minute,” he said suspiciously. Shippo looked at him also suspiciously before obliging with a small shrug of his shoulders. He led Dachu towards the young ruler- after sticking his tongue out at the laughing Yusuke- and gave him the cutest most adorable smile he could think of. Koenma tried- he really did- but it was exceedingly difficult not to smile back. Dachu, watching the interaction, giggled.




And just when Shippo thought they were in the clear, for he had an idea of what the toddler prince wanted, a puff of what smoke enveloped him and Dachu. “ Oh, no,” he said in a whiney voice, “ Mama’s going to kill me.” He ran around the room again chanting the same mantra over and over again while everyone else watched. Some in shock the others in apprehension. Dachu was just laughing at his older brother not aware of the danger he was in or the tension in the room. He was also not aware of the tiny fangs he was displaying, the furry tail coming from his tailbone, nor the kitsune feet thumping on the ground. He wasn’t aware of any of that but unfortunately or fortunately the other occupants in the room were.
