Kagome slowly rose from her sitting position. The guys would be there soon, and she needed to hide the demonic aspects for now. Quickly casting an illusion over Kirara, and something to hide the auras, she told Shippo to recast his illusion. Just as the kit did so, the boys came into the clearing. Widened eyes looked at her and she simply smiled at them. "Hello. I didn't expect to see you here."

 

Yusuke carefully looked around before looking over at her. "We were heading over to a temple that our friend's stayin' at. I told you I'd bring a few friends home for ya to meet."

 

"A temple near here?" Kagome asked with widened eyes. "You know Genkai?"

 

Yusuke looked at her strangely. "Yeah, how'd you know her?"

 

Kagome looked at her friend happily. "Genkai's my grandmother!"

 

If she hadn't had all their attention before, she had it now. "You mean the old hag actually had a kid?"

 

Kagome glared at the man in front of her. "Yes!" Turning around, she walked right back to her tree and fell into a meditative pose beneath it. "If you'll excuse me, I was meditating." This time, she carefully kept her powers in check and allowed her aura to become peaceful.

 

"You meditate?" Yusuke asked while looking at her.

 

Kagome would've rolled her eyes had they been open. "Nope, I only said that I was for no reason."

 

Rolling his eyes at her response, he turned to leave. "You're gonna make dinner right?"

 

"I dunno, is there any food left in your house to make?"

 

"Good point." He pulled out a credit card and tossed it to her. "Use that and get some." Then he walked out of the clearing, his friends following behind him. When they were a good distance away from the girl he turned to his team mates. "Was it her? I mean she's the only one who was in there."

 

"I'm not sure." Kurama stated. He seemed to be in deep thought. "I think we should keep an eye on her. I felt two demonic auras in that clearing just before we showed up. They disappeared right before we did."

 

"Why not have the shrimp follow her then. He's got the best shielding." Kuwabara stated.

 

First Yusuke smacked his head. "He's gonna kill ya if you keep pickin' on him, but that ain't a bad idea."

 

"Will you Hiei?" Kurama asked calmly.

 

Sighing, he gave a "hn" and left to return to the clearing. When he got there, he noticed the girl was in a meditative state. The boy was walking towards her as well. "Momma."

 

"Hm?" The girl said as she slowly opened her eyes.

 

"Can I take the illusion off now? Yusuke shouldn't be coming back."

 

She quickly scanned the surroundings, but found nothing. "I suppose." Mumbling something, there was a faint glow, then the cat had a second tail. "There, now you can take your own illusion off."

 

"Alright momma." The boy concentrated for a moment, before he turned into a kitsune. Hiei's eyes widened at the sight. He hadn't felt a demonic aura from any of them, even now he couldn't. But the boy clearly had three tails and two fox ears.

 

The little girl seemed to be giggling madly as she jumped up and attacked the boy. "I got your tails again!"

 

Kagome giggled at their antics before relaxing to watch them play. A peaceful aura surrounded her and the entire clearing, causing the fire demon to relax slightly. He was intently watching the girl, but she didn't seem to notice. What is she?

He was still watching them a few hours later when Kagome finally stood from her spot. "I think it's time we head home... or at least to the store to get food."

 

"Can I get some pocky?"

 

"Can I get some sweet snow?"

 

Kagome giggled at the both of them. "If you're good, I'll get both."

 

"Yay!" Came two cheers.

 

The woman just shook her head at their antics. Turning to the animals, she looked at them seriously. Kage had long since returned. "Do you four think you can make it back to the house?" They all gave an affirmative sound and headed back to Yusuke's as Kagome turned towards the children. "Ok my little kit, time to illusion yourself."

 

"Can you tell Yusuke about demons momma? I'd love to be able to walk around the house without hiding."

 

Sighing, Kagome thought for a moment. "I'll think about it. I doubt he'd freak out, but I still don't want him thinking I'm crazy for saying demons exist."

 

Shippo laughed at her. "Momma, he has a demonic aura... haven't you noticed?"

 

Kagome's eyes snapped from the flowers she was looking at and onto her son instantly. "He does?"

 

"Kikyo and Miroku are gonna be mad at you for not noticing. Did you even notice that Hiei and Kurama also have demonic auras?"

 

Kagome gulped. "I'm so dead if they find out."

 

"Yep! You need to pay more attention momma."

 

The miko just growled at the boy. "Shut up and get to the car. Say one more thing, and I'll illusion you into a little girl."

 

Now the kit gulped and took off toward the car. The little girl was now giggling happily. "That means Rin can make more friends mommy!"

 

She sighed at the girl. "Humans aren't that bad Rin."

 

"Humans are scary though!" The girl argued.

 

"You and I are human sweetie."

 

"But humans killed Rin's family!"

 

"I know sweetie." Kagome said as she gently picked the now upset little girl up. "Does this mean you'll talk to them more often?"

 

"Rin's not scared of demons, so Rin doesn't mind talking to them!" The little girl happily chirped.

Hiei quickly headed back to his team mates to tell them what happened. It shocked him that the little human girl didn't like humans. Even odder was that she loved demons. Finding everyone at Yusuke's house, he entered through the living room window. "What did the brat say?"

 

Yusuke smirked at Hiei's name for their boss. "He said that if what the demon says is true and that the miko's back, we need to find her and take her into the Reikai. What'd you find out?"

 

"The girl is human, but has some sort of power. She's shielding it so well that not even the jagan can feel it. Have those animals of hers returned?"

 

"Actually, yeah. Why?"

 

"The neko is a demon and has two tails, and that boy of hers is kitsune. After they thought we were gone, they dropped their illusions."

 

Kurama's eyes had widened at the fact the boy was kitsune. "A kitsune? How are these two in Ningenkai then?"

 

"I'm not sure, but the woman didn't notice that we were demons. She now knows because the kit told her."

 

"She knows? What's she gonna do?" Yusuke asked worriedly.

 

"I believe that she may tell us that she knows about demons. It's what the kit wanted so that he didn't have to hide his ears and tails all the time. Also the little girl, she doesn't like humans."

 

That had everyone's complete attention. Kuwabara was the first to speak. "Is she a demon too?"

 

"No. Humans killed her family and she finds them scary which is why she was so shy around us. She does not fear demons though, and is happy to know that that's what we are."

 

"The kid is crazy." A growling sound was heard, and the 'baka' looked down to see a twin tailed kitten growling at him. "You're a cute kitty." As he reached down to pet the cat, she growled deeper and bit his hand. "Ow!"

 

Yusuke snickered at his friend's luck. "Isn't that the one you said was a demon?"

 

"Yes."

 

"Hey Kirara, come here a sec." Nodding, the cat jumped into the man's lap. "So you're a demon huh?" She tilted her head to the side and meowed an affirmative. "Are you a good demon?" He received a nod and a meow. "Are any of the other animals demons?" Another nod and meow. Then the pup jumped into his lap too. "So she's also a demon?" A bark was his reply. Looking up at his friends, he found them looking curiously at the animals. "Now I see how they understand her."

 

An hour later, the four boys were still discussing the new members of the household. Kagome managed to sneak in and overheard them. "So are you going to ask her about how she knows about demons then?" Kuwabara asked while looking at Yusuke.

 

Sighing loudly, she ended up drawing their attention. "Guess that means even the baka knows about demons." Yusuke laughed at her statement.

 

"Yeah, he knows. But how do you?"

 

"My secret!" She said as she took the bags into the kitchen. The two kids came in a moment later with treats.

 

Rin ran happily over to Hiei and handed him an ice cream cone, which surprised everyone. "Mommy said Rin could get you a treat too, since Rin asked nicely."

 

Hiei looked at the girl somewhat shocked, but accepted the ice cream. Who was he to turn down an offer of sweet snow? Kagome returned to the living room about fifteen minutes later. "You can drop your illusion Shippo, they know."

 

A big grin overtook the kit's face as he let his illusion drop. Three ebony tails sprouted and his ears shifted to the top of his head. His hair was only shoulder length, but it seemed to take on a brighter shine. Three of the four guys just stared at him. "Good, I was getting tired of having to keep it up."

 

Rin squealed and ran over to start petting his tails. "Rin loves your tails!"

 

"I can tell." Shippo said as he continued to eat his pocky. He moved to the couch, and Rin sat right down beside him with one hand wrapped in his tail.

 

She looked up at the others and cocked her head to the side cutely. "Rin heard that you were demons too! Will you show Rin what you look like?"

 

"Does she always talk in third person?" Kuwabara asked.

 

"Rin talks how Rin wants to. Mommy said Rin was allowed!"

 

"It's a habit she picked up from Sesshou." Kagome stated. "And if you wish to stay in one piece, I'd leave her alone."

 

"What could a girl do to I, the Great Kuwabara?"

 

"I could set Kage and Kirara on you... they're girls as well. Even Kiba and Hige could take you."

 

"Those tiny things." Kuwabara said while laughing at the cat. he soon wasn't laughing when a giant saber toothed feline was pinning him to the floor and growling. "Wh-what is this thing?"

 

"Kirara, down." Instantly the cat reverted back into it's tiny size with a blast of fire (that singed the baka's clothing), and jumped into Kagome's arms. "You insulted her. I'm surprised Kage didn't attack you as well."

 

Yusuke was now looking at the cat in amazement. "I didn't know she could do that."

 

Kagome smiled at him, then down at Kirara. "How would you, you just found out she was a demon."

 

"What kind of neko is she?" Kurama asked curiously.

 

"Fire neko. Don't ask about Kage, though... I'm not sure. I think she's a shadow inu though. Sesshou never told me. Kiba and Hige are actually demon wolves. They don't really do anything like these two, but they are loyal."

 

"What are you?" Hiei asked as he looked at her intently.

 

"I am miko." She said as she looked at them. Knowing exactly what a miko is, the three with demonic blood took a step back. That caused the girl to sigh. "I'm not a very good miko."

 

"How so?" Yusuke asked.

 

"I don't kill demons without reason. I have no reason to harm any of you, so I'm not going to."

 

"Well, how do you know about demons?"

 

"I've been attacked by them."

 

"That's not what I meant."

 

"I live on a shrine, so of course I know about demons. Just as I know about the different worlds. Heck, I've been to the nether world." Sighing, she returned to the kitchen. "No more questions, I need to make dinner. Is anyone else coming over?"

 

"Shizuru, Botan, and Keiko." Yusuke said as he continued to look at her. "We will be talking more about this."

 

"Yusuke, I haven't really talked to you in a few years. Give me time to get to know you again before you expect me to hand over my secrets."

 

"That is fair." Kurama spoke up. "I suppose we can wait for you to know that you can trust us."

 

"Good." Said the little girl, drawing everyone's attention. "Now Rin wants to see what you really look like!" Chuckling, Yusuke shrugged and transformed for the girl. She started giggled happily and ran up to him. "Rin thinks you look very strong."

 

"Well I think he looks like a Mazoku demon." Kagome stated from the doorway.

 

"You've met a Mazoku demon before?" Kurama asked curiously.

 

"I've spent some time with one." She said as she turned to look at him. He tensed as her aura wrapped around him. The other three did as well. "Ah, you're kitsune."

 

"Really!" Shippo exclaimed as he jumped up to look at the man. When he got a nod, his eyes became hopeful. "Will you train me? Momma tried, but she can't do it as well as another kitsune can!"

 

Looking at the now smiling woman he nodded. "I will if it's ok with your mother."

 

"Please momma?"

 

How could she say no with his eyes so hopeful? The answer is, she couldn't. "As long as it's not a problem for him, I don't see why not." To see the smile he had was worth allowing a stranger to teach her son. But she knew he'd be safe with the man, kitsune were fiercely protective of their own kind. Since they were all preoccupied with Shippo being so happy, she sent her aura out to the other man. He tensed immediately upon feeling it wrapping around him. Instantly he completely masked his aura, gaining a growl of annoyance from the girl. "I was only trying to see what kind of demon you were." She said testily.

 

"Then ask onna. I am a fire youkai."

 

"Whatever." She returned to the kitchen a minute later.

 

"Rin wants to see what you look like as a fox!" The little girl said a few minutes later as she ran up to Kurama.

 

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to show you." His hair turned silver and grew longer, his eyes changed to gold, deadly claws and fangs grew, and his ears moved up to his head. Seven silver tails also sprouted.

 

The girl's eyes widened before she looked like she could burst with happiness. "You look like Fluffy!" Happily she grabbed his tails and started petting them. He was trying to figure out what she meant, when a gasp drew everyone's attention.

 

They saw Kagome staring at Kurama in amazement. Slowly she walked towards him, and everyone tensed. They were not expecting what she did. She grabbed his ears and started petting them. "I love ears!" She said happily. "They're like Inu's!" Then she noticed his tails and giggled. "You're like a mix between Sesshou and Inu... except more tails." And she started helping Rin pet them.

 

Shippo was giggling madly at her, while the guys were looking at her like she was crazy. "She has a problem when it comes to silver hair, tails, and ears."

 

Kagome turned a glare on her son. "I do not!"

 

"Yes you do. As soon as Sesshou and you became friends you kept attacking his tail. You always attacked Inu's ears."

 

"Oh shut up." She said as she turned back to the seven tails.

 

Rin was now looking at Hiei expectantly. "Rin wants to see what you look like too!"

 

"No."

 

"Please! Rin thinks you'd look pretty."

 

"Rin, if he doesn't want to, you can't make him." Kagome said from her place, playing with Kurama's tails. Kurama looked helpless at the fact she wouldn't leave them alone.

 

"Shouldn't you be fixing dinner momma?" Shippo asked in order to save his new teacher.

 

"You're right." She said with a sigh, and walked off into the kitchen.

 

"Thanks kit." Kurama said as he returned to his human state.

 

"You're welcome." He said as he walked over to help out with the little girl. "I think Kiba and Hige want to play Rin."

 

"Then Rin will take care of them!" She said as she ran off to find the wolves.
