Damned if I Do Damned if I Don't Meeting by Chance

Yoko Kurama raced away from the building, laughing.

"Such an easy task," he muttered. Suddenly he tripped. Kurama landed ungracefully on the ground and glared at the offending object - no person - who'd dare trip him.

It was a boy, no older than three hundred years, with bat wings. The boy had pointed ears and black hair up in a high ponytail with a black half-hat like thing on his head. His eyes were closed. He wore a vest with no shirt underneath and black leather straps wound around his arms. Black pants adorned his legs and a white cloth wound around the pants opened in the front. Two belts were about his waist, one hung sideways off his hip.

'Funny, I've never seen a bat like this before,' Kurama thought. 'He's actually kind of cute.' Kurama smirked at this thought. He frowned when he noticed how undernourished boy looked. 'Where has this kid been? He looks starved!' Frowning Kurama decided that he was far enough away from the building - no castle - that it was safe to rouse the boy and bring him along.

"Oi, kid, wake up!" The bat boy did nothing. "Kid!" Kurama shook him forcefully and the boy snapped open indigo blue eyes. He quickly crawled away as Kurama knelt next to him. "Hey, kid, what's your name?" Kurama asked.

"K-K-Kuronue," the boy responded shakily.

"You look like you could use a good meal, want to come with me?" The boy looked wary. "Oh come on, nothing will harm you at my den!" Kurama grinned a toothy grin. "What do you say?" The boy nodded. "Good kid, can you stand? You look awfully weak…." He nodded and stood shakily as Kurama stood. "Come on," Kurama coaxed and the boy, having regained his strength, chased after the fox thief.

. .. …"Like that do you?" questioned Kurama as he gave Kuronue, the boy bat, some deer meat. Kuronue just nodded.

"Hai," he said softly.

"Come on, kid, can't you honestly speak more?" Kurama smirked knowing he had gotten the boy right where he wanted him. Kuronue's eyes were livid.

"I can too speak more!" Kuronue snapped. He was practically snarling.

"Oh I don't think you can…."

Kuronue growled and leapt up, whipping out a pair of sickle scythes. He lashed out at Kurama. Kurama dodged and caught the boy with his rose whip. He tugged at the boy's leg and Kuronue fell to the ground harshly. The air whooshed out of his lungs.

"You suck," Kurama stated plainly. Kuronue snarled at him.

"I do not!"

"Then how come I got the better of you, kid?"

"I'm no kid!"

"Whatever."

Kuronue lashed out again, only to be caught once more and thrown into the ground harshly.

"Can't you honestly do better?" Kurama questioned. Kuronue snarled and lashed out, this time nicking Kurama's arm before Kurama again tripped him. "Tsk tsk, kid, haven't you ever been taught to treat your others with respect?" Kurama waved a finger in Kuronue's direction. Kuronue leapt up and this time was able to slice a hole in Kurama's outfit and nick the skin underneath.

Kurama blinked.

Kuronue blinked.

Kurama grinned.

"Not bad kid."

"I am not a kid!" Kurama's grin widened.

"With a bit of shaping up," he said as he walked circles around the boy, "you could make a great companion…and thief." Kuronue blinked again.

"…thief?" he questioned. Kurama just smiled.

"Ah, yes, thief. I suppose I haven't told you my name then?" Kuronue shook his head. "Yoko Kurama at your service." Kuronue's eyes widened.

"Th-Th-The Yoko Kurama!?" he cried.

"No other is like me." Kuronue just stared at him and Kurama chuckled. "I know I have a wonderful body, kid, but honestly, you're a bit too young for me…maybe when your older." Kuronue turned beet red.

"I - I - I-" Kurama once more chuckled before going into full blown laughter.

"Honestly, kid, you'd think I'd do that?" Kurama laughed. "I know I am notorious for pulling young vixen's to my bed, but I wouldn't try that upon you! Not in a million years."

"P-P-Promise?" Kuronue stuttered.

"Hai, promise." (hai - yes)

"Okay…"

"Now, what of my offer, are you willing to become a thief? To become my partner?" Kurama was grinning a foxy grin. Kuronue nodded smiling. "Okay, rule number one, kid, don't show your emotions. It's the best way for an enemy to get you. Now, cocky is a good thing but fear, or even anger are bad. Lust is okay too." Kuronue was once more blushing. Kurama smirked. "Such a pure child…too bad."

"Wh-What!?" Kurama was grinning again.

"It's okay, kid. You know…you're quite cute for a youngling." Kurama smirked again. "Anyways, you can show your emotions around the den, but I'd suggest keeping them hidden outside. You never know when you will run into an enemy." Kuronue nodded. "So you ready for being a thief, kid?"

"Hai."

"Good. I like your spirit, kid."

"I am not a kid!"

. .. …Kuronu e chuckled as he and Kurama reminisced upon old days.

"I was such an idiot then," Kuronue said.

"Ah, that you were," Kurama grinned. Kuronue snorted.

"Yeah well you and sake don't mix. I remember that well."

"What!? No way in hell!" Kurama cried.

"Ah yes…I believe it was on my four hundred and twelfth birthday, I had been with you for a hundred years now…."

. .. …"Tanjoubi omedetou," Kurama grinned at the young bat. (tanjoubi omedetou - happy birthday)

"Arigato, Kurama," Kuronue chuckled. (arigato - thank you)

"Let's celebrate, eh?" Kurama laughed. Kuronue nodded as Kurama pulled out some sake. "To your tanjoubi!" (tanjoubi - birthday)

"Hai." They clinked glasses together before downing them full.

Fifteen minutes and several glasses later Kurama was thoroughly drunk. He was giggling like a madman and swaying as he talked. He fell over laughing.

"Nice ass," he slurred. "Tis a won'ful beauty." Kuronue scowled.

"Your dunk, Kurama."

"Am not." Kuronue sighed and stepped over the obviously intoxicated fox.

"Hey, where you goin'?" Kurama questioned.

"To get you some water," Kuronue replied. Kurama frowned but giggled insanely. When Kuronue returned Kurama was standing shakily.

"Hey love," he greeted with a silly salute. Kuronue shook his head and moved closer to the fox to give him the water.

This was his first mistake.

"Oomph!" Kuronue was tossed backwards with Kurama on top of him. "Kurama!" Kuronue cried, trying to push the dunk fox off of him.

"No." Kurama was grinning and he leaned down and kissed Kuronue, surprising him. When Kurama pulled back Kuronue was livid.

"You're fucking drunk!"

"Am not," Kurama muttered.

"Kurama?" Kuronue questioned when the fox wouldn't get off of him. "Kurama!" Snoring greeted his pointy ears.

Yoko Kurama was asleep.

. .. …"Tha t's not true!" Kurama cried. "If it is then why don't I remember it?"

"Because you were drunk baka!" Kurama began to sulk. "Hey, I didn't mean it like that! Come on Kura!" Kurama just grinned. (baka - idiot)

"Well…I clearly remember the time when you got yourself beaten by an old woman," Kurama smirked.

"Oh no…."

"Oh yes."

. .. …"Hey, look at him," Kuronue muttered, he was nearing his five-hundredth birthday. "I bet he's an easy steal." Kurama wasn't paying attention. Currently he was twirling a small stick of wood he had pilfered off of a man wearing robes between his fingers. Kuronue humphed. "Fine then, I'll go steal by myself, baka."

With that Kuronue walked off.

Blinking Kurama looked around and spotted Kuronue sneaking not so sneakily towards the man with a giant purse. He smacked his head.

"Baka…."

In the next second Kuronue was in a tug-o-war with the purse, snarling.

"Baka…."

The man, who wasn't a man but a woman, pulled out a frying pan. Kuronue paid no mind to this but believed he had gotten the purse.

That was until the frying pan connected with his head.

"Ow! Hey! What are you trying to do!?" Kuronue cried. Kurama hung his head.

"Baka…."

The woman continued to repeatedly hit Kuronue who was now shielding his face with his arm.

"Not the face obaa-san!" he shrieked. The woman paid no heed to what Kuronue was saying. The pan eventually hit him in the face and he stumbled. (obaa-san - grandma)

"Ow…."

"Baka…."

"Give me back my purse!" shrieked the old woman. She yanked it back before hitting Kuronue on the head with the frying pan. Kuronue collapsed, seeing stars.

"Oh hey pretty birdy," he muttered, "come to have a drink? Bye pretty birdy."

And with that he lost consciousness.

. .. …This is a weird story idea I had received…I just need ideas for a few chapters to post, it does deal with K/K pairing…and if you don't know what that is it's Kurama/Kuronue. So this will be Yaoi. Now, I just need a few ideas, I will take them and use them (if they are appropriate) and then post them in a chapter. Please give my ideas, I want to drag this out for at least ten chapters before I post a sequel (yes I have a sequel planned).

Thanks
