Chapter Seven
(New love?)
A few hours later, Kagome snapped out of her trance. It was then that she noticed that she was leaning against a hard chest with strong arms around her. She tilted her head to the side to see who it was. To her horror it was Kurama. She than noticed how she was practically sitting all over him and blushed.
Wow, isn't this a compromising position, she thought
Kurama was still fast asleep. When Kagome tried to move off of his lap the arms around her tightened. Kagome inwardly groaned. This is just great.
Kurama had cautiously opened his left eye into a small slit and saw her stormy gray blue eyes open. He had saw how she tried to move off of him and tightened his hold around her. Her body felt good against his. She calmed him somehow. He didn't know why, but she calmed him.
He had felt her groan and watched as she moved around to get comfortable. He loosened his arms around just enough for her to move but still be trapped in his embrace. The position she was in now was most of her body on his legs, her head resting on his stomach and her arms around him as if she was hugging a stuffed animal. He inwardly smiled at this and noticed how utterly beautiful she looked.
&nbs p; Soon they both drifted off to sleep thinking about each other. Somehow during the night Kurama had slipped down until he was laying completely next to her. Her head was in the crook of his neck, one of her arms flung across her chest, her legs tangled with his. Kurama's right hand was currently his pillow while his other had was resting on her hip. They slept that way the whole night, unknowingly.
That was the position that Yusuke found them, wrapped up in each others arms, legs tangled, impossibly close.
Yusuke smirked thinking about all the ways he could black mail Kurama with this sight. He was interrupted from his thoughts when Kagome shifted a little murmuring, all he caught was, " me the key to the..." But Kagome trailed off falling back into her dream.
He wondered about this. Key to what? He was still unbelieving that Kagome's current mother was not her real mother. So then how did Kagome come to be with them? So many questions that were unanswered. But Yusuke knew that no matter what, even if Kagome wasn't his real family by blood, they were still cousins by heart. He would stand by her no matter what.
Yusuke looked at them and smirked. Kagome, he whispered softly, trying to not awake Kuruma who was fully awake by now.
Kurama took comfort in the fact that she was in his arms and couldn't help but notice how well they fit together.

Kurama took comfort in the fact that she was in his arms and couldn't help but notice how well they fit together.
I know some other things we could be doing.
Shut up Youko. Just take in the fact that she's in our arms.
'It's not enough though. She will be mine Kurama. I have yet to meet anyone as fierce or strong or as beautiful as her in all my years.'
I know Youko. But we can't rush her. She'll just pull away.
'How do you know?'
It's common sense Youko.
'Right, I think your just scared. She might like aggressive men. You never know.'
  ; <And I'm guessing your the aggressive man she's looking for.
'Who else?'
But Kurama was pulled out of his conversation when Yusuke called out Kagome's name. Kurama wanted to kill him for disturbing their comfort. By the rate of her heart she was already awake. Kurama smiled, this would be interesting.
"What the hell do you want Yusuke."
Yusuke jumped up about five feet at the sound of Kagome's voice.
"Heh, good morning Kagome. How was your sleep?
  ; " I wouldn't know for you woke me up."
"It's at least noon Kagome, you got to get up."
& nbsp; Kagome hid her head further in Kurama's neck, fully aware that he was awake.
"I don't want to."
"But you have to."
"No I don't."
"Yes you do."
"Kurama tell him to leave me alone."
To say Kurama was surprised couldn't describe it. He did not know that she knew he was awake. He could practically feel the smile on her face. He smiled mentally. She was a smart one.
"Yes Yusuke what do you want?"
Yusuke jumped seven feet this time.
"You got to stop doing that," he said before continuing, "The big baby wants us over at the palace. We have to bring Kagome."
&nb sp; Kagome groaned in the crook of Kurama's neck who couldn't help but chuckle.
"It seems we do have to wake up Kagome."
"But I don't wanna." Kagome blushed when she realized what she had said. A while ago, she didn't want to be in his arms, but now, she didn't want to leave.
Kurama chuckled louder at her whining tone. Knowing exactly how to get her out of bed he smirked. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Unless you want to stay all day in bed with me, doing certain activities, I suggest you wake up."
Kagome was out of bed quicker than the eye could see. She glared at Kurama, a blush staining her cheek.
"Pervert," she mumbled before heading for the bathroom.
Kurama smirked at her before turning back to Yusuke.
"What did you say?" Yusuke asked Kurama with narrowed eyes.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Kurama said, trying to hold back a smirk.
Yusuke gave Kurama one last look before heading down the stairs. Kurama stared at the bathroom door one more time smiling before heading down the stairs.
Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei waited down stairs for Kagome to come down. She had quite a lot of explaining to do.
Yusuke groaned. How longer was she going to stay up there.
Kagome was in her room changing and still thinking about her new found memory. She was still in disbelief, but she knew, somehow she knew. Her mother was Midoriko, the most powerful miko to live was her mother. The woman that she had just left without a kiss or a motherly embrace. But she knew Midoriko... or I guess mother now had good reasons, she hoped to find them out later.
Unconscious ly she started singing one of her favorite songs, not knowing she had an audience down stairs.
Yusuke was about to call up to her again when he heard her voice. He smiled, she was always such a great singer and didn't even know it.
Kuwabara and Hiei stopped their bickering to listen to her sing. Kurama was entranced. Never had he heard such a sweet and beautiful voice.
He couldn't break out of the trance that her voice was putting him in.
Kagome finished off the song and looked back in the mirror once more and headed down stairs, finally satisfied with her outfit She reached the bottom only to find all eyes on her.
"What?"
< br> Youko was going crazy in Kurama's head who was trying his best to keep the horny silver fox at bay. Kurama couldn't help too, to give in to Youko.
  ; Kagome was currently dressed in a tight silver tank-top with a long sleeved, see through, over shirt over it. It did little to hide her milky white skin. She was in a tight black, khaki pants that showed off her shapely legs. Kurama couldn't help but stare. Neither did Hiei and Kuwabara .
Kagome looked at them and twitched her eye. She was surrounded by Miroku copies. The next instant Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara had large bumps on their head.
Yusuke laughed at him earning his own hit.
"Oww Kagome, you hit too hard."
"I wouldn't have to hit anybody if they would stop being perverts."
"I do not act like a pervert," Hiei answered.
"Right and that's why your eyes weren't wide and staring at me without blinking."
Hiei actually had no come back to that. He really didn't when an angry, blood red eyed Youko appeared in his head. He looked over to Kurama who had a similar look aimed at Kuwabara who didn't notice at all.
Kuwabara suddenly was on the floor with another hit in the head... a more severe hit in the head by a certain red head who was acting innocent.
Kagome looked curiously over at Kurama who still had his eyes of Kuwabara . She didn't know why he hit the blue guy again and right now didn't think she wanted to know.
Kurama turned his eyes back to Kagome. His eyes blinked from green to gold until they settled on gold with green speckles, they held possessiveness in them that was intense but mixed with something else that Kagome couldn't quite put her finger on.
She looked away at the intense gaze, hardly up to the challenge of returning it. Not yet. She wasn't ready.
Sighing she looked back up.
“You sing beautifully,” Kurama said, staring at her.
& nbsp; She's also beautiful, Youko said mentally.
Kagome blushed and briefly connected her eyes with Kurama. That was a mistake. Once their eyes met, she couldn't look away. His eyes were so deep and just looking at them did things to her that she thought she would never feel again.
"Thanks, she said softly, she never could take a complement without blushing no matter how she tried. She smiled hesitantly at him, not knowing the extent of what that smile was doing to Youko and Kurama.
Don't even think about it Youko. Kurama said to Youko mentally.
Why Kurama, I didn't think you would think such dirty thoughts, Youko said teasingly.
Kurama sighed and ignored him, turning back to the angel in front of him.
Shall we go?" Kurama said.
Yusuke nodded and one by one they filed out of the shrine.
Kagome turned around once she was out of her house, spotting the well house, knowing the well was sealed and that she could never use it again. But even though that was true, it mollified her enough that she knew that everyone on the other side was safe.
Shut up Youko. Just take in the fact that she's in our arms.
'It's not enough though. She will be mine Kurama. I have yet to meet anyone as fierce or strong or as beautiful as her in all my years.'

She turned back to the others, "Lets go."
More of her memories had returned last night and to her shock, she found out that Koenma was her cousin, being that her mother was his aunt. She looked forward to meeting her just found cousin even though he would not know who she was. But her mind couldn't help but wander back to a certain youkai/ human. Kagome smiled, maybe she would find new love. Maybe, Sesshoumaru was right.
