As the sky lightened, Kagome woke. Used to waking at sunrise, or an hour to two before hand. Souta popped into her room about twenty minutes later. Boxes were in his hands, and he was prepared to help her pack her things. Most of her stuff was easy to put in the boxes, the rest it was decided would be moved over later. After about two hours, a knock sounded on the door. Itsuki was the one that answered it. "Hello?"

 

The man at the door looked surprised as his eyes widened slightly. A deep growl reverberated through the man's chest as he stared at Itsuki. "What the hell are you doing here?"

 

Now Itsuki's eyes widened as wisps of youki began to rise from the visitor's skin. Sensui was by his side minutes later, having been nearby. Said man was now glaring at the apparent demon. "This is my house, demon. So leave!"

 

"Where's Kagome?" He demanded.

 

The man's look turned into a glare. "You'll leave her alone! Get off my..."

 

He was interrupted by a happy feminine voice. "Shippo!" After the squeal, Sensui found his daughter wrapped in this new demon's embrace. After giving him a kiss on the cheek, to which he complained about, she turned to the two men in the doorway. "This is my son Shippo. Shippo, this is my father Sensui and his demonic lover, Itsuki."

 

Shippo's eyes widened slightly as he quickly bowed his head. "Sorry I jumped to conclusions. I only knew of Souta and Grandma living here."

 

"How do you have a son this old?" Both men asked at the same time.

 

Kagome giggled and led Shippo inside. After sitting in the living room, with her son at her side, she started her tale. Telling of how she used to travel between this time and fuedal Japan. The explanation took about an hour and a half, because she shortened it. Some information was left out, and then she told of how the well had closed. Then of how a few things happened. Keeping some secrets, things he didn't need to know.

 

Once everything was done, Kagome dragged the kitsune back upstairs to help her and Souta finish packing. When Shippo accidently brushed his uncle with his youki, he was shocked. That led to the revelation that Souta had seikouki also. Their father found out and was thrilled. The man then told them that he'd train them both to use reiki. Kagome then stated that she already knew how to. Finally everything was ready. Souta offered to help her move, and Shippo was adamant about meeting this boyfriend of hers.

 

And so they all started moving the boxes down to Shippo's car. Which Kagome had no clue about. When asked, he shrugged and stated that Sesshoumaru gave it to him. That led Kagome to rolling her eyes, and placing her things into the neon green corvette. When asked about the color, the kitsune gave a fanged grin and said it was to attract attention. Which it most definitely did.

 

They also placed things into Ms. Higurashi's Volkswagen. The fox snickered as he was loading things. His snickers earned a glare from his mother, and he quickly cleared his face of all emotion. Said action received a comment about how he spent too much time with Sesshoumaru. It was at this time that Kirara popped up. "You brought Kirara?"

 

"She wanted to come." He stated with a shrug. "Her demonic energy is perfectly masked, and you can tell people her two tails is a birth defect."

"I don't understand why you're having this girl move in with you Urameshi. She knows nothing about demons or your job." Amazingly, it was Kuwabara who said this.

 

"I have to agree with Kuwabara, Yusuke." Kurama stated calmly. "You could be putting this girl in danger by bringing her here."

 

"I can protect my own girlfriend Kurama."

 

"Just leave Yusuke alone. He's already made his decision." Came Shizuru's voice. "Besides, if a demon crosses over, they'd go for her if she was near anyways."

 

"What makes you say that sis?" The dumb red head asked.

 

"Didn't any of you sense her? She's really pure. I'd say completely pure, and demons go for that."

 

A sudden surge of youki had all the guys tensing. It felt nearby, almost as if it were in the park across the street. Everyone quickly moved to the window, and were surprised at what they saw. A man was standing in front of Kagome and Souta. No one knew who the man was, but he was glaring at a demon across from it. The scent of blood reached the demons, and Shizuru pointed out that Kagome's shoulder was bleeding. They could all hear Souta's frantic questioning of whether or not she was ok. "I'm fine." Her smile was genuine as she rose to her feet. "Shippo..."

 

The man in front of the two gave a nod as the demon before them moved. Everyone in the apartment could see the demon move. Kagome quickly turned and pushed Souta out of the way of an attack. The man with them suddenly snarled. "Leave them alone!" They felt the ripple of magic as an illusion dropped. There stood a tall kitsune youkai. Nine tails stretched out behind him as deadly claws gleamed with promise.

 

The demon he was facing began to shake. "S-Shippo-sama...." His terrified squeak was cut off by a delighted squeal.

 

"Tails and ears!" And Kagome ran over to him. Both demons sweat dropped, as those in the apartment looked on with widened eyes. "I wish you didn't always have to hide them."

 

"I'm trying to fight a demon here." The kitsune said with a smirk.

 

Giving a defeated sigh, Kagome moved away grumbling about conceited kitsunes and not letting her pet their animal attributes. "Fine."

 

The stray demon's eyes widened. "Please, spare me my lord."

 

The kitsune chuckled darkly. "I don't think so." He moved fast, faster than even Hiei was capable of. So fast, that there was not even blood on his claws. The demon lay dead a this feet as he flicked an ear, looking for anything else. "Let me see your shoulder."

 

"I'm fine."

 

"Kagome." His stern voice had her relenting and she allowed him to heal her using his youki. "There, all better now. Let's finish getting you moved."

 

"You might wanna take your human form again Shippo." Souta pointed out."

 

"Good idea." He said with a laugh. Quickly changing back, he picked up the things he was carrying and moved toward the building.

 

Those in the apartment looked between each other in shock. Shizuru was the first one to speak. "If she knows about demons, we should say something to her."

 

Before anyone else could say anything, there was a knock on the door. Yusuke went over and opened it to a smiling Kagome. "Yusuke." She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a kiss. Shippo coughed some, and she broke the kiss to glare at him. "What?"

 

"Nothing, I just don't want to see a make-out session."

 

"Ah, come in." The ex-detective said, he then showed them which room to put her things in. It was at this time that Kirara made her presence known. Giving a soft meow, she jumped onto his shoulder. "What's this?"

 

"Kirara." Kagome answered with a giggle.

 

"A kitty!" Kuwabara exclaimed happily. "Wait, it has two tails."

 

"It's a birth defect." Kagome answered smoothly. No one could scent or detect a lie from her.

 

"How do you know about demons?" Shizuru asked, deciding to be blunt.

 

Kagome gave a slight sigh as she turned to face the woman. "I simply do." Then she mumbled about being attacked enough to have to know what they are or she'd be an idiot.

 

"Why do you get attacked?" Kurama asked smoothly.

 

"Because demons want to kill me." She said with a smile.

 

"Why?" This time it was Shizuru who asked.

 

"All of them seem to think that I'm food." She said with a slight growl. "Well, except for Shippo here." After giving said kitsune a smile, she turned to the others. "How do you know about demons?"

 

"Umm.... maybe because two of them are demons." Shippo suggested.

 

Kagome's eyes widened as she turned to look at him. "They're demons too!?" Then a sigh. "Why do I attract demons?" Now pouting.

 

The kitsune laughed at her and pulled her into a hug. He gave a smug look to Yusuke when he heard him growl. "Perhaps it's your stunning innocence. Kitsune can be good help with that."

 

His statement shocked everyone else, as Souta tried to hold in his laughter. Kagome, however, smacked his arm. "And who do you know that's a charming fox? Hmm...?"

 

"Why Kagome-sama, I'm hurt that you don't think of me as charming."

 

"Go get the rest of my things fox-boy." Shippo pouted, but moved to the window to get them. "You can use your powers since they know about demons!" She called after him as he jumped from the ledge. He gave her a fang filled grin as he disappeared into the shadows. Silence followed his departure, until Kagome turned and moved to Yusuke. Said detective wrapped his arms around her as she smiled. "So, are you one of the demons?"

 

He coughed slightly at her question. "Umm... hai."

 

"He's hanyou." Shizuru stated for him.

 

The ex-detective tensed, waiting for her to say something. He wasn't exactly well liked because of his... differences. "Oh, ok... So you're like a few of my friends." She said as she laid her head against his chest.

 

Wisps of youki began rising from somewhere outside, and it was strong. The power screamed danger. Then, it vanished and reappeared in the bedroom that was supposed to be Kagome's. They all moved to it to find Shippo smiling at his work. Everything from both cars were arranged nicely in the room. Kagome giggled and told him how great he did. "Of course I did good. I was trained by the best."

 

"I thought you trained yourself?" Souta asked.

 

Kagome rolled her eyes. "That's why he thinks his teacher was the best."

 

A surge of youki shifted through the air, causing almost everyone to tense. Shippo merely sighed as Kagome tried to contain a giggle. "It seems Fluffy's calling me. I trust you'll hold onto Kirara?"

 

"Of course." Kagome answered happily as the kitten jumped onto her shoulder and meowed.

 

Leaning in, he gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'll be back." And he disappeared into the shadows of the room. Yusuke once again growled as the kitsune leaned in and did that. Souta was snickering about it too.

 

"Wow sis, he's worse than Inuyasha."

 

"No he's not. Inuyasha's a selfish jerk." Kagome said as she glared at her little brother.

A few hours later, and Yusuke's friends had finally left. So Kagome was relaxing in the living room and waiting for Yusuke so they could watch a movie. When he plopped down on the couch next to her, she relaxed back into him. "What movie we watchin'?"

 

"Saw II." Kagome answered as she turned the VCR on.

 

"I thought girls liked romance movies?"

 

"They only like to watch those things to give their boyfriends ideas. Besides, I kinda hate romances."

 

Yusuke smiled at that and wrapped his arm around her. Her head moved to rest on his shoulder as a content smile appeared on her lips. Turning out the lights, they watched as the movie started. Around the middle of it, Kagome fell asleep and curled closer to the hanyou. He continued to smile as he pulled her into his lap and rested his chin on her head. When the movie was over, he turned the TV off and carried her to her room. Unfortunately, she wouldn't let go of him, so he had to lay down with her. Wait, did I say unfortunately? I meant rather fortunately for him.

 

And so the next morning, Kagome woke to find herself wrapped around Yusuke. His arms were around her waist as hers lay upon his chest. Her head was pillowed on his shoulder. Her face was pressed into his neck. She was so comfortable that her eyes didn't want to open. So she simply snuggled closer to his frame, taking in his scent, and sighing in happiness. She could feel his youki moving around her, toying with her own aura. Testing it. And leaving it's mark on her. A piece of his youki would now be part of her aura. In a way, claiming her as his.

 

It was an hour later that she finally managed to get up. Heading toward the bathroom, she brushed her teeth and showered. Then she went to the kitchen, in hopes of making something to eat. If she could find anything that was. All she could find were a few eggs, bread, milk, and some syrup. Sifting through the fridge, she found some orange juice as well. Shaking her head, she took the things out and began making french toast.

 

Yusuke came in a few minutes before it was finished, a large smile on his face. Kagome smiled at him, a bright smile that seemed to make him melt. She loved the effect she had on him. She remembered the first time they'd met. What her smile had done. It now seemed like it was destined to be. Maybe he was the one. The one she had been meant to be with.

 

Flashback

 

"Stupid Inuyasha. Always going off to see that stupid Kikyo." Her grumbling was cut short when she found herself on the ground.

 

"Watch where you're going." Said an annoyed sounding voice.

 

"Well sorry, but you could've watched out as well!" Kagome retorted, sounding just as annoyed. Attempting to stand up was a bad idea as she fell right back down, clutching her head.

 

"Are you ok?" The other person asked as she felt him shift toward her.

 

"Just a little dizzy." She said as she looked up with a slight smile. And she gasped at what she saw. Beautiful amber eyes set in a tanned face. Soft looking lips, slight concern on the masculine features, all on a heart shaped face. But then he gave her a grin and she felt herself falling. His eyes made him look quite a bit older than she was, but his body seemed to be that of a teen. Mentally shaking herself, she gave him another slight smile. "What's your name?"

 

"Yusuke."

 

His simple answer surprised her slightly. "Mine's Kagome."

 

"Think you can walk Kagome?"

 

"Should be able to, I've been through worse than a little bump." A slight laugh was given with her statement as she once again began to rise.

 

"I'll walk you home, just in case."

 

And she gave him a smile. She could see as he melted at it and she felt herself grow lighter at that fact. Her smile had led to him asking if he could maybe take her out sometime. Being thrilled, she said yes. They had their first date later that week. It went well and they ended up going out again. Soon it was that they went out whenever she was home.
