Kurama was waiting at the flower shop for the mysterious San. He wondered what type of demon this girl was, what type of powers she would have, and how well her training was. She appeared to be about the age of fifteen, and the only available explanation other than Moriko, would be that this was possibly one of his young. If such was the case, there would be no way to explain who he was if Moriko was dead. He would judge from her fighting style and then decide, ask a few more questions and hopefully figure out the answer. He continued to stare down the street until he spotted her not too far away. He smiled a bit and walked towards her, making sure she could see him. They stopped when they reached one another, trying to read what one was thinking.
"How has your day been so far?" she asked, hopefully getting somewhere besides just staring.
"Nothing wrong that I know of. Did you wish to grab something to eat first, or just begin immediately?" was his reply.
"It doesn't really matter to me. If your hungry, then I'll treat you this time to some lunch, if not, then afterwards we can grab something."
"Very well. Follow me."
They walked for some time in silence. It seemed as if one was trying to figure out the other one before they began. Kurama was fairly sure that this San was one of his young, maybe the only one to survive. He would decide after seeing her fight, it was the only way to really tell. San smiled slightly when she realized that this was where they had parted ways last night. He did not know this, seeing as she was in her wolf form, but she couldn't help but wonder what brought him here. There was no way he could've known her secret, but she kept her face emotionless, as if none of this bothered her. The smell of the other demons and Urameshi was still here, and the smell of his blood, as well as the blue haired woman that saved him.
After leaving Kurama last night, she decided to go back and observe the young Reikai Tantei. He nearly died against that fool Gouki, and was saved by his assistant, the blue haired woman she had seen in her vision. She still saw the faint image of Raizen around Urameshi, and still couldn't figure out why she was seeing it. He smelled only human, and she knew that Raizen couldn't possibly come here from Makai, he was too powerful. She could tell that Yusuke was more powerful than he led on, and with Genkai's training, he would be a force to be reckoned with. She was determined to see him complete the task that her master gave him, when the timing was right.
Kurama looked over at San, waiting until she was ready. She snapped out of her thoughts and focused on him now. They eyed each other, wondering who would make a move first, and what they should expect from the other. There was a light breeze blowing thru their hair, and Kurama decided he would make the first move, to see how good her reflexes were. He took off at demon speed to appear behind her. San smirked, looking behind her and striking, putting barely any force of her body into it. Kurama blocked her blow, but was knocked back a bit.
"Your eyes seem to work well," he stated, trying to think of his next move. It was hard to devise a strategy when you don't know your opponent, nor how they fight.
"Of course. I'm sure you have a weapon up your sleeve, pull it out. This is starting to bore me," she replied.
Kurama smirked, very Moriko like of her to suggest such a thing. He reached into his hair and pulled out a rose. He charged his spirit energy, and held his rose whip in his hand. He was curious to see what she would do. She had a small smirk on her face, as if daring to him to attack her. He did and at her demon speed, she basically had vanished. She was faster than he had anticipated, and lost sight of her. He kept his ears open, for any little sound that might indicate where she was. Suddenly, he felt the whip in his hand disappear. He looked down and saw that it was nothing but a rose seed now. She appearing in front of him soon after, laying a good kick to his face. She sat on his torso, staring down into his eyes with that look of amusement. He looked back into hers and smiled.
"It seems you have sufficient training. I do not think there is much more we can learn from one another here. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a few questions," said Kurama, hoping she would let him up.
"That depends on what they are. If I don't like it, then I won't answer them."
"Fair enough."
They walked back into town, towards a restaurant that Kurama knew well for lunch. It wasn't anything fancy, just somewhere to eat. San insisted that she get this one, seeing as he paid for her last time. They sat down, waiting until they ordered their food before Kurama decided he wanted to start his interrogation.
"I was wondering... Where are your parents?" he began. He didn't really want to beat around the bush, but he was unsure of how to approach the subject. He was sure that hearing the words she died would hurt him deeply.
"My mother died giving birth to me, and my father has been gone since before that I believe," she answered without a trace of pain. It was so many years ago, there was no point in keeping the pain for that long. She was centuries old after all.
Her mother died giving birth. Her father had been gone since before that. This had to be one of his young, there was no way it wasn't. The eyes, the slightly different hair, the mannerism, the past, this San sitting in front of him was in fact his daughter! Then again, maybe he was jumping to conclusions a little too fast.
"Can you reveal your demon form?"
"No. I'm not that powerful yet," again, an honest answer. San wondered what he was trying to get at, it seemed as if he was suspicious of her.
-We cannot assume Shuuichi. We'll have to wait until she is powerful enough to reveal herself-
-The Dark Mirror is going to take my life, the only other way I can think of is to ask Koenma if she has been to the Reikai-
-And if she hasn't?-
-I'm sorry Youko-
The conversation in his head ended just as the food was being brought to them. San smiled and began to pick at it, not really wanting to eat the contents of it all. Kurama blinked twice before beginning on his dish as well.
"What's your real name?" asked San sometime during their meal.
"I beg your pardon?" said Kurama, surprised by her random question.
"Shuuichi can't be your real name. That's the name that your human mother gave you. What is your real name?"
Kurama thought on this. If this was his child, she would never know who he was at all. If this was Moriko, would she pick up on it that fast? He decided there would be no harm in telling San his real name, "I am called Kurama."
"Interesting..." she trailed before taking another bite.
"You've heard of me?"
"Nope," she wasn't going to reveal her wolf secret just yet. It was still too early, and she didn't want to end her game so soon. She was hoping he'd put a Youko in front of it, but she knew her business with him was not done. Kurama looked at his plate, keeping his face as plain as possible. She did not catch it, so this couldn't be Moriko.
-I think you're giving up too early. She's playing, I know this style-
-It's hard to say. Anything seems to be possible-
They didn't linger long after their meal before parting ways. Their next meeting was undetermined, but San was going to keep an eye on him in her wolf form, unknown to him though.
...
He wakes from his slumber in his makeshift den. He looks down at his beloved, who is still very much asleep. The loot from their latest raid was scattered all over the floor, but that was not why he was awake. He doesn't know why he wakes, but sleep does not wish to claim him at this present moment. He sits up, careful not to wake her. He throws his hair over his naked shoulder, neither of them really caring for clothes while they slept, nor after they mated. He smiles thinking about that night centuries ago, when he had made her his. He looks over at the mark on her shoulder blade, eying his work. He can hear the peaceful and steady breaths while she sleeps. Tenderly, he reaches out a hand to trace the mark he has left on her. She stirs slowly, smiling at his touch.
She turns to face him, staring into his golden eyes. They hold nothing but pure love and adoration, only for her. She feels it, and kisses him, pulling him close. Their passionate kisses lead to a celebration of their love, which leaves them in their own world of bliss. She smiles, stroking around his face and neck, while he holds her close. Her long tawny hair is fanned out behind her, as her head rests on his chest. He nips at her ear playfully, how she feels about such an action.
"One wonders why you are still up," she does not ask, but states.
"I'm not sure koishii, but I did not wish to wake you," he replies, kissing behind her ear.
"Do not worry Youko. Have you noticed anything different about me lately?"
"Is this a game?"
"While I love to play games, this time I must be serious."
"Something is different about you, but I cannot quite figure it out."
"There is something I wish to tell you."
"What is it beloved?"
"I am with young," she looks up and smiles at him.
He stares back at her in disbelief, "Truly?
"Yes. Do you see something different now kistune?"
"The glow of motherhood is upon you, that is what I have failed to notice," he answers her, smiling and placing a hand on her abdomen, where the young were growing.
"Does it please you?"
"Yes koishii. I love you ookami," he answers her before pulling her to him, and preparing to celebrate their young.
...
The full moon was upon him tonight, and Kurama was waiting patiently for Yusuke to appear. Although he should be worried about tonight, his mind kept wandering to the mysterious San. He couldn't make up his mind about her, but he knew that he wanted her to be around. It was a shame that he couldn't explain what he was doing, less he say good bye and explain his actions. If she was his daughter, he would deeply regret putting her thru more misery than she possibly already felt. He wished he knew who she really was, but he was too afraid to find out. He was going to die tonight anyway, so what would be the point?
Kurama could smell the Reikai Tantei approaching. He made himself visible, knowing that the young human didn't have much talent. He could sense something else around him as well, but was unsure if it was worth paying attention to or not. He decided to ignore it but keep his guard up, just as Urameshi was approaching him. He nodded at the young boy and then started to walk towards the hospital. Urameshi was quiet the whole way, not knowing what to do about this thief. Kurama didn't feel the need to say anything until he got up to his mothers room in the hospital, and was surprised that the walk was silent.
"Shuuichi," his mother greeted, relieved, "I see you've brought a friend."
San watched thru the window at what was going on. She was very curious as to why he was so secretive and cryptic about this night, so she decided she would follow him. It came as a bit of a surprise that he would bring the Rekai Tantei with him to what she was assuming his human mother. She watched as they conversed a little and then Shuuichi was rushed out of there. Something was happening, doctors were everywhere in the room. She then noticed the red hair of "Shuuichi" on top of the hospital building. She was too far to see or hear anything, so she decided to get closer. Scanning her surroundings, she saw the route she would take to get on the building beside, rather than across the street. She was about to jump, but then saw something glowing where Kurama and Urameshi were. With swift movements she was on the ledge of the hospital roof. Her eyes widened as she saw the Dark Mirror in Kurama's hands. Urameshi was also holding it, trying to help from what it looked like. She changed back to her human form, just as the mirror was at full power. The energy hit her, and she felt like herself again.
Kurama only remembered seeing white and the black. He remembered Yusuke putting himself in the midst of his wish, trying to tell the Dark mirror to take his life instead. He was getting close to consciousness, though he didn't hear anything. He put a hand to his head, knowing that if he were dead, he wouldn't be feeling any pain. He felt the mirror beside him, and he felt Youko inside, stirring, just as he was. He opened his eyes, not expecting anyone to be standing over him. His vision was still blurry, but it looked just like...
-Moriko?-
It seemed to be, her wolf ears pointing upwards, her tawny eyes full of fear and worry, her fluffy white tail. She was as radiant as ever, the moonlight complimenting her facial features perfectly. She was as exquisite as her remembered her, reaching up a hand, he cupped her cheek. It seemed like centuries since he had seen her, touched her. He missed her so much, it hurt to be away from her for so long. Maybe he was dead, and she was here with him. Fair trade. He smiled, rubbing his thumb across her cheek, missing the feel of her soft skin. But as his vision cleared, he realized that it wasn't his koishii he was seeing.
"San?" Kurama questioned the girl in front of him. She was staring at him with the familiar tawny eyes, almost looking curious rather than worried. Kurama himself was confused as to why she was there, before he realized his hand was still on her cheek. He took it back, but no emotion showed on his face.
"What an amazing thing," she stated moving to look at the mirror. She picked it up, examining it.
"Please be careful with that," Kurama cautioned her. He didn't want something to happen to her, "and what are you doing here?"
But she ignored him, deciding that the question didn't matter. How very Moriko like of her. He hated it when she used to do that. She continued to stare at the mirror, wondering why it didn't kill the two of them, but not showing the question on her face, nor did she dare ask. She supposed it had nothing to do with her, so she held it while Urameshi got to his feet.
"Who's the broad?" asked Yusuke.
"A friend of mine. A strange one at that," Kurama answered, standing in front of her, still observing. San got bored of the mirror and handed it to Yusuke.
"Do you think it worked?"
Kurama tore his eyes away from San, looking at the moon.
"Shuuichi! It's your mother, she's going to be alright!" a nurse called out to him, opening the door to the roof and seeing them. Kurama smiled and ran towards her, assuming he was going to see his mother. San looked over at Yusuke, who was staring in the direction Kurama disappeared in. Again, the faint image of Raizen was right there, in the same space as Yusuke.
"So what's your name?" he asked.
"San, and you?"
"Yusuke, Yusuke Urameshi. I take it you know about Kurama?"
"Something like that."
"Are you a demon to?"
"Yes."
"Well at least your not causing me any problems," he put a hand on her shoulder. She went frigid, a vision hitting her like a tonne of bricks. She saw Urameshi fighting with Suzaku, and he was nearly dying. She saw a girl he didn't recognize, along with the Urameshi's assistant on a screen behind the fight. Just as quickly as it started, it stopped. "You okay?"
"Yeah, sorry, just... not used to being around people," she replied. He looked confused at her, "If you really want to know, just ask Kurama. I have to get home though. Bye."
...
-Well, here we are, just as expected-
-Yes. How long do you think we will be condemned here?-
-It's hard to say. I'm sure since we helped out with Hiei, we might get off a little easier-
-San was proving to be quite the opponent-
-Yes, it will be a while until we see her again, if we do-
-Have you been so blind Shuuichi?-
-Pardon?-
-I'm completely positive that she is the wolf that follows us around-
-What makes you so sure?-
-It was the night we used the mirror, how did she know where to find us?-
-It's hard to say, but she is definitely not ordinary-
"Kurama, Koenma can see you now," said the blue goblin. Kurama nodded and followed him into the office of Koenma, the son of King Enma.
"Kurama, I take it you have been well?" Koenma greeted the fox.
"As well as can be. Your paper work seems to be piling up."
"Yeah it gets like that from time to time, I can't seem to find good help. Now, looking at the current situation, you won't spend a lot of time here, seeing as we had your cooperation and the intentions behind the theft were genuine. Yusuke has vouched for you, so spend some time here during your school hours and weekends, and then we'll see if we can work something out."
"That's very generous of you. I know I don't deserve it, but I have one more request."
"What is it?"
"I was wondering if the spirit of Moriko has passed thru here in the past few years?"
"Is she dead your wondering?"
"Yes."
"No, she's still very much alive. The whereabouts, I'm not sure of however, I can try and keep an ear open, but other than that, you'll have to search for yourself."
"Thank you for all the help. I'll leave now."
-She's alive!-
-Yes. We'll find her Youko, this, I promise you.-

"Well at least your not causing me any problems," he put a hand on her shoulder. She went frigid, a vision hitting her like a tonne of bricks. She saw Urameshi fighting with Suzaku, and he was nearly dying. She saw a girl he didn't recognize, along with the Urameshi's assistant on a screen behind the fight. Just as quickly as it started, it stopped. "You okay?"
"Yeah, sorry, just... not used to being around people," she replied. He looked confused at her, "If you really want to know, just ask Kurama. I have to get home though. Bye."
...
-Well, here we are, just as expected-
-Yes. How long do you think we will be condemned here?-
-It's hard to say. I'm sure since we helped out with Hiei, we might get off a little easier-
-San was proving to be quite the opponent-
-Yes, it will be a while until we see her again, if we do-
-Have you been so blind Shuuichi?-
-Pardon?-
-I'm completely positive that she is the wolf that follows us around-
-What makes you so sure?-
-It was the night we used the mirror, how did she know where to find us?-
-It's hard to say, but she is definitely not ordinary-
"Kurama, Koenma can see you now," said the blue goblin. Kurama nodded and followed him into the office of Koenma, the son of King Enma.
"Kurama, I take it you have been well?" Koenma greeted the fox.
"As well as can be. Your paper work seems to be piling up."
"Yeah it gets like that from time to time, I can't seem to find good help. Now, looking at the current situation, you won't spend a lot of time here, seeing as we had your cooperation and the intentions behind the theft were genuine. Yusuke has vouched for you, so spend some time here during your school hours and weekends, and then we'll see if we can work something out."
"That's very generous of you. I know I don't deserve it, but I have one more request."
"What is it?"
"I was wondering if the spirit of Moriko has passed thru here in the past few years?"
"Is she dead your wondering?"
"Yes."
"No, she's still very much alive. The whereabouts, I'm not sure of however, I can try and keep an ear open, but other than that, you'll have to search for yourself."
"Thank you for all the help. I'll leave now."
-She's alive!-
-Yes. We'll find her Youko, this, I promise you.-
