Chapter 11 To the Eastern Lands

 

“That'll be fine, Kurama,” Genkai said into the telephone she held to her ear at the shrine, “She'll be here tomorrow morning? Before or after the dawn has broke…?” she waited while the Kitsune on the other side of the line answered her, “How about I just leave a lantern burning near the door and the extra room you're to put her in.” she deadpanned, then nodded, “Sure thing. See ya around.” She hung up the phone into the receiver with a sigh.

 

“What'd Kurama want?” Keiko asked from where she and Yukina sat on their heels near the shoji door that was open to allow the cool weather to float in from outside. A small child giggled delightedly in Yukina's lap while the Ice Demon cooed at her with baby talk.

 

“First of all, he said Desota's pregnancy was a success. She gave birth to a son that's physically blind, yet can some how see the world around him through the auras of living things. Not surprising, if you ask me…,” Genkai murmured the last part to herself.

 

Yukina looked up from the baby in her lap, “Blind? Is he still alright?”

 

“Healthy as any child, from what I've heard… just blind to the physical world.”

 

“Sounds like an interesting situation.” Yukina said in awe.

 

“What else did he want?” Keiko asked while she took her daughter from Yukina's lap and cradled the child in her arms. Big, hazel eyes fluttered closed while the child released a yawn and started to settle down in her mother's embrace to nap.

 

“Kurama says that things in demon realm are getting rougher to deal with and he's bringing Desota and their child back here for safe keeping until this danger has passed or otherwise.” Genkai walked over to the two girls and sat down cross legged, quirking a small smile when the hazel eyed baby giggled and smiled over at her.

 

There was a pause for a moment between the women while the child started to mess with the fabric of Keiko's blouse.

 

“Does she remember him?” Yukina finally asked.

 

Genkai sighed, “He didn't say much about that. From what little he did say regarding that, she probably does have the knowledge that the child is his,…. Whether she remembers his love or not, I don't know.” Genkai let that sink in before she pointedly looked at both women, “Just remember when she arrives tomorrow and during her stay; don't push her memories about him. Hakkuto told us that there may be a trap that could be triggered.”

 

“Mum's the word” Keiko put a silent finger to her lips. Yukina nodded.

 

“Well then….,” Genkai stood up, “I guess I better beat one of the extra futons and prepare a guest bedroom for our new addition to the temple.”

Desota awoke slowly when the sunlight rays stretched through the window near her face. She rubbed her eyes out of the sleepiness and stretched her back a bit before settling down again. Her arms absently curled around her middle to embrace her son close to her, only to end up empty.

 

Aqua eyes flashed open and darted around her frantically looking around for her son. She sat up and held open the blankets to look around her, “Kurosuki??!” she called.

 

A baby giggle at her side was her answer while she started to lean over the side of the bed to search out her son with the sheet covers in her grasp. She let the said covers fall from her grasp and pulled her head out from under the bed sheets to stare at the sight next to her.

 

Yoko was lying with his back propped up against the head board of the bed next to her. Kurosuki lay on the silver Kitsunes stomach, sightless navy eyes, although pale in blindness, were shining brightly as he saw the aura surrounding the small vine coming from the seed in his fathers palm. The kit batted at the vine playfully as the plant darted around him, gently poking and tickling his small frame. His red-white-tipped fuzz of a tail bobbed around as he wagged it in delight. Yoko would lean forward every now and then to puff air playfully into his son's ear to distract him from the plant. Both were clearly having fun just goofing around.

 

Yoko's ear twitched when he noticed she was awake and watching him and his son, “Morning bed head.” He greeted, “Ow!” he suddenly yelped in surprise when Kurosuki's small hand snatched one of his silver fox ears. Desota laughed while Yoko tried to pry his ear out of his sons grasp.

 

Kurosuki's navy eyes darted over to his mothers' laughter, small ears erect at the familiar sound and a wide smile spread over his face as he held out his tiny arms to her, squealing at her to take him into her arms. Desota reached over and plucked her son away from Yoko while Yoko massaged his abused ear.

 

“He's got a nice firm grip…” Yoko mumbled.

 

“You don't breast feed him….,” Desota deadpanned.

 

Before he could retort, they heard a commotion at the door as someone tried to open it while it was being held firmly in place by a manipulated fern plant that was intertwined around its hinges to hold it firmly in place.

 

“Who is it?” Desota called.

 

“It's Tsuya! I came to get you for the morning `inspection' at Lord Yomi's breakfast!” Tsuya called through the door.

 

“Come back later…,” Yoko answered.

 

Desota shot him a dirty look and batted him on the arm, “Let her in…”

 

Yoko snorted at her, “And if I don't?”

 

“Yoko….,” Desota pleaded with him. She wasn't in the mood for his teasing.

 

Rolling his eyes and making a big show that he was reluctant, Yoko called the plant off.

 

“Come in,” Desota called.

 

The door immediately opened, “Ah! You're still in bed!” the lemur demoness threw her hands in the air exasperated, “Get up, GET UP!!! We're already starting behind schedule today!”

 

Desota sighed in dismay half-heartedly while she got up and handed off Kurosuki to Tsuya's awaiting arms while she made her way to the closet to pick out her clothing, “Any suggestions on attire?” she asked while she walked deeper into the walk in closet, picking out a decent top to show Tsuya. When she turned around, instead of Tsuya behind her, Yoko was with an out fit hanging on a hanger dangling from his fingers.

 

“I like this one.” He said.

 

Desota blushed as she looked it over. The top was black leather and looked like it would stop just under her breast the front of it was laced up as well as the back and it had a strap to hook around her neck instead of her shoulders. The bottom half of it consisted of 3 parts; a black strap that would tie around her hips, a long black flap of silk to cover the front of her and an identical silk flap to cover her behind.

 

Desota growled angrily up at him, “I JUST HAD A BABY AND YOU WANT ME GOING AROUND DRESSED IN THAT?!!”

 

“You've already lost all the extra weight…. It's not like anything'll hang out of it.” He defended.

 

“Nothing will hang out, huh?” she quoted, “tell me how my chest is covered in that THING if it's so low that if I bend over, I'll fall out of the damn thing??!”

 

“So don't bend over till I personally bend you over.” Yoko shrugged.

 

Desota's fists shook at her sides as she shook in frustration and embarrassment, “I WASN'T ASKING YOU THAT, YOU PERVERT!”

 

“You asked for any suggestions, so I made a decision.” He replied, not the least bothered that she was sending him a look that would kill him if it were a physical attack.

 

“WHO ASKED YOU!”

 

“You did.”

 

“SINCE WHEN?!”

 

“A few moments ago. You said `Any suggestions on attire?' and I answered `I like this one.' Then-,”

 

“WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP AND GET OUT SO I CAN GET DRESSED! I WASN'T ASKING YOU, I WAS ASKING TSUYA!!” she shouted at him.

 

“No need to shout.” Yoko said dryly.

 

“OUT!” she zapped a small electric shock at him to get her point across and he jumped involuntarily when the electric current surged through him momentarily. She hardly winced as the collar bit back at her as well.

 

“I'M GOING, DAMN IT!” he barked at her and grumbled to himself sulkily as he stomped moodily out the door and loudly closed it behind him.

 

Tsuya and Kurosuki were very still and quite while they watched the little `lovers spat' as Tsuya deemed it mentally, “Desota…?” the lemur said softly.

 

Kurosuki whimpered at his mother, feeling her aggravation.

 

“It's nothing; I'm just letting the stress of everything come at me.” Desota brushed off with a huff and tore her heated glare from the door and let it melt into a smile at the maid and her son, “Like I asked earlier, suggestions?”

 

Tsuya gulped, apparently, the mood swings were still in effect, “Uh, there is one I wanted you to try since your body has slimed down and all now….,”

the 7 fighters in the main room corridor of the chambers Yomi had Desota in watched in mild amusement while their silver haired leader stomped in rather immaturely and kicked his heels up to plop down on the sofa with a guttural growl in his throat. His silver tail twitching harshly like an agitated cat.

 

“Problems with the Missy?” Chou asked.

 

“Don't talk to me.” Yoko hissed through clenched teeth.

 

“Pay up.” Toya turned to Jin with his hand waiting for the gold he'd betted for.

 

“Shit…,” Jin grumbled and practically slapped the gold into the ice demons hands.

 

Yoko gave them an amused look, clearly asking what that was all about so Renku decided to explain, “They were board last night and the topic about `lovers quarrels' came up and they made a bet. Jin thought you wouldn't fight until after she found out you intend to send her back to human world while Toya betted you'd fight about something before that time.” The small demon said.

 

“You're gambling about this now? What about the rest of you?” he looked around the room at the others.

 

“We betted on something different.” Renku said proudly, “We're betting on the time she'll fry ya with electricity when you try to take her back to human realm.”

 

“I've got soon as she find out” Suzuki said.

 

“When you actually try and take her,” Shishiwakumaru said.

 

“I said when you guys reunite!” Renku piped in.

 

“Nice…..,” Yoko said dryly.

 

“Don't worry, Moit, we didn't bet on it,” Chou smiled referring to himself and Hakkuto.

 

“No, we decided to bet on your death day….” Hakkuto said calmly.

 

“WHAT?!” Yoko's wide golden eyes looked at them in disbelief.

 

“Yep! I said when you returned to her,” Chou pointed his thumb to his chest.

 

“And I said before you even get her out of demon realm.” Hakkuto again was apathetic as ever.

 

“And I thought unicorns were pure and truthful.” Yoko snorted.

 

“We are…. Mostly.” Hakkuto shrugged.

 

That made Yoko feel MUCH better…..

 

Tsuya opened the door of the bedroom and walked out, leading Desota with Kurosuki in her arms. The women walked past the males with out a second glance. The only one who did acknowledge them as they passed was Kurosuki who squealed and mewled at them happily when he sensed all the familiar auras; especially his fathers'.

 

All of them flinched as the door closed a bit forcefully and turned to Yoko suspiciously.

 

“What did you do to her?” Suzuki demanded.

 

“Leave me outta this.” Yoko grumbled and turned his back to them. They all rolled their eyes as their fearless and dangerously skillful killer of a leader was pouting like a five year old that had been scolded.

 

The door opened again, this time with Joseph, Nar, and Ryoga. Jaden wasn't with them for once and Yoko was almost disappointed. He needed to vent on something.

 

Joey lifted a brow at the stiff silence of the usually boisterous group, “Who died?”

 

“Yoko pissed off Dessy some how and now he's sulking because he was scolded for his childish behavior, finally…,” Hakkuto said.

 

“I'm not sulking and I wasn't scolded!” Yoko insisted darkly. To anyone out of the loop, it would sound intimidating and they wouldn't try and cross him, but everyone knew he was defiantly sulking.

 

“Denial.” Renku sighed.

 

“Where's Kit-Prick?” Yoko grumbled, changing the subject.

 

“Doing his duty as an ambassador.” Joey said, “He's taking my place at the table for the breakfast feast while I attend to matters.”

 

“In other words, Joey didn't want to deal with Yomi's high standard court so early in the morning so he had Jaden take his place at the last minute.” Nar translated.

 

“Now when you put it that way, it sounds so selfishly childish!” Joey pouted.

 

“That's because it is selfishly childish.” Nar sighed.

 

“Apologies, Lord Joseph, but I agree with Lady Nar's thoughts.” Ryoga bowed respectfully.

 

“Shut up, Ryoga.” Joey grumbled.

 

“Yes, My Lord.” The golden Kitsune humbled.

 

Joey suddenly turned serious eyes upon Yoko, “He's almost here.” he said, “after breakfast, Jaden shall escort her down to the main floor where Nar will `request' that Desota join her on a joy ride in the country. They will be safely out of harms way before the danger has even entered the domain.”

 

“That's the plan then?” Yoko made sure and was satisfied with the nod from the Kitsune Lord, “Very well then. What about tonight?”

 

“Ryoga's specialty happens to be illusions and hypnosis related powers. He will remain here holding up a clone spell of you and I while I lead you to my country where you may reunite with your…. Your…,” he didn't like saying this since he had preferred another to take his sister…, “You may try to reunite with your previous mate.”

 

“Your wording is so delicate, it makes me wander slightly….,” Yoko said suspiciously.

 

“I've sworn not to interfere with my sisters' choice, but I do have a preference.” Joey admitted, “No hard feelings?”

 

“None taken.” Yoko shrugged.

“So this is the child I heard crying with in my Keep?” Yomi said as he approached Desota and Tsuya where the formally stood. Breakfast had just finished and now it was time for her daily `protocol' of submission of sorts…

 

Being blind, Yomi relied on his other 4 senses to take in the child he knew was the spawn of his once leader and comrade; Yoko Kurama. His brows tightened slightly when he sensed something was wrong with the Childs' eyes and the way its aura wrapped around his tinny body.

 

“The child's blind as well?” he inquired.

 

“Yes, he's blind to our physical world and can only see what ever a living aura touches or outlines for him.” Tsuya bowed and offered her answer since Desota was so high on alert with this demon so close to her son. She was literally using all restraint to remain calm with the powerful Lord so near that he could kill herself or worse, her child at a whim.

 

“Well, it is only a half breed….,” a member of the court breezed.

 

Desota was used to being called many crude and much worse things than half breed, but when they insulted refer to her son….. Even her iron restraint that once held back a dragon's anger was strained with impulsive revolt.

 

“I'd have to say that all of you should watch what you call any kind of `half-breed' now' a days,” Jaden's confidant voice that commanded attention to where he previously sat in silence at peace through out breakfast with out being much noticed by Lord Yomi's side, “After all, isn't Spirit World still trying to take down Raizen's kid? Is he not a `half-breed' as well?”

 

“The only reason that boy is ruling over Raizen's lands currently is because the Battle Demon his self isn't able to go on defending a country, if not himself. Or have you forgotten the none-human diet the fool has taken?” yet another noble pointed out.

 

`Raizen must be Yusuke's father….' Desota put two and two together with the information the lords leaked out as if EVERYONE should already know, `Why would not eating humans weaken a demon lord?'

 

Yomi noticed the shift in Desota's mood and turned to her, “Don't look so surprised, little one, you must know what your kind eats, do you not?”

 

“Food?” Desota guessed with out much effort, wanting to just let it drop and leave. Kurosuki was starting to get restless in his mothers arms, but stayed relatively quiet when he sensed his mothers' peril.

 

“Of course food….” Yuda rolled his eyes, “HUMAN is on the diet of many demon species. Especially the higher level ones once it is an acquired taste. If one lived off the flesh of human like Raizen once did and then suddenly stopped, they'd slowly die of starvation, much like what Raizen's facing right now.”

 

Desota's sharp intake of breath didn't escape many of the demons in the room. Apparently, she had no idea. Though she could see how she'd never catch that little detail. Jaden hardly ever brought her meat products when he smuggled food for her from the kitchen. Most of it was noodles, breaded foods, and fruits. On occasion he would bring her pork items or steak, but those didn't smell like human flesh….

 

“You…. you eat humans?” she whispered. Tsuya started to get concerned at her side, she had truly thought that the hanyou knew about that and was at peace with it, but apparently not.

 

Jaden gritted his teeth, wanting to get her away from this subject. He didn't give her much meats on purpose!

 

“Of course. In fact, breakfast just now had human in its course. Most of Yomi's food is human, like all lords! Are ye daft, girl?” Yuda scoffed.

 

Yomi took in the way Desota's aura trembled, “You poor thing….. You truly didn't know that half of what you are is the predator to the other, ne?” he tsked at her.

 

Desota seriously wandered if this demon had it out for her, or if being a cold hearted bastard was part of his personality. She gripped Kurosuki tighter to her while he softly whimpered up at her confused at her sudden conflicted emotion.

 

“Is my Lord through with my presence?” she gritted out.

 

“You have already shown your submission to me, but I feel up to the testing mood at this new twist of events….,” Yomi turned to Yuda, “Go and bring our little one a small morsel of the tender stock.”

 

“Yes my lord.” Yuda bowed and hurried off.

 

“I am unworthy of such delicacies,” Desota quickly protested, wanting nothing more than to puke at the mere suggestion to EAT a human! She believed that only the lower classed demons lusted for blood and carnage, but ate their human query after they'd ripped it up manically. Now she knew that it was a universal taste once tried and Yomi wanted her to taste it for herself….

 

“Nonsense, I insist. Since you have been somewhat of a good girl…” Yomi smiled cunningly.

 

Jaden stood up, slamming his palms on the table before him where his breakfast once was, “My Lord! Reconsider, PLEASE! As she has just given birth, she should be slowly reintroduced back to her original diet before even thinking of trying a new food for her health's sake!” he objected.

 

“Sit down, Ambassador Jaden,” Yomi said calmly with a firm tone underlining consequences if he was refused, “our little one will not be harmed if she were to merely try the taste of human… she will be fine,”

 

“I already had breakfast, my Lord, I wish not to try your gracious offer at the moment, for it may ruin my appetite for lunch…….?” Desota pleaded with a bowed, submissive head.

 

Kurosuki whined at his mother, still worried about what was going on with all the jumbled and excited auras around them. He somehow knew it was centered mainly on the dark purple aura that held much force behind it but lazily encased its owner as if arrogant in its power to all others.

 

“The platter you sent for, my lord,” Yuda said as he brought it before Yomi; between himself and Desota and sadly just under Desota's nose. The meat looked just like a regular cow steak, but the smell reeked of human flesh cooked well done. Her stomach threatened to empty on the sight if she didn't get out of there.

 

“Am I interrupting?” came a feminine voice of the elegant cat demoness now queen of the Eastern Lands. At her side bowed the golden Kitsune, Ryoga as he knelt down on one knee with a fist planted at in front of him for balance and his other arm resting over his propped up knee.

 

“Lady Nar, to what do I owe the pleasure of your acquaintance in my dinning room this morning with out your mate at your side?” Yomi greeted, putting aside Desota and the human meat for now.

 

“If it is acceptable to you, I request a morning ride through the country with the hanyou. I have become close to her with in my stay and would like some bonding time before my mate and I leave…. May I?” Nar asked formally.

 

Yomi turned from one woman to the other, before he inclined his head, “Very well, Lady Nar. Permission granted. You may take your new companion with you on your joy ride, but should you require protection…,”

 

“Ambassador Jaden has already volunteered the position. If you don't mind, I have our horses waiting, and am quit excited?” Nar smoothed easily.

 

“Then by all means, go right on ahead.” Yomi waved off Tsuya to lead Desota to the awaiting Ryoga and Nar. Jaden stood up and excused himself from the table to follow them out.

 

“I'll take her from here.” he said as he took the chain lead from Tsuya's grasp.

 

“Alright then, I'll see ya when you return,” Tsuya didn't protest as she walked them out and waved them off.

 

Desota wrapped a firm cloth around Kurosuki's baby blanket that held him securely to her front torso so she could ride with him and leave her hands free, Nar and Jaden watched her with mild fascination.

 

“Where'd you come up with that trick?” Nar asked curiously as they walked out the front doors.

 

“You learn a lot when you have a child.” Desota breezed with a small smile, but it was only falsely given.

 

“I'm sorry I brought it up this morning,” Jaden said remorsefully.

 

“It wasn't your fault, I should have known that's probably one of the many reasons demons and humans don't respect cross breeds such as my self.” Desota sighed.

 

“I heard what Yomi was trying to offer to you,” Nar admitted, “Sorry I waited so long to interrupt,”

 

“Interrupt what, exactly?” Yoko's voice asked.

 

Desota was surprised to see the silver fox himself with the others and Joey waiting for them near 3 saddled horses. Kyo was one of them while the other two were consisted of a golden painted palomino mare with white flaxen mane and tail and blue eyes while the other was simply a dark red chestnut with a star.

 

“Yo…ko? I thought you'd still be up in the rooms? How did you guys know that Nar wanted to ride with me?” Desota blinked, then glared, “You're not following to spy on us are you?”

 

Yoko coughed, “As appealing as that sounds, no. I'm simply here to see you off.”

 

“And everyone else too?” Desota looked behind him to gage the others that waved at her.

 

“Bout the same,” Jin nodded with a friendly grin.

 

It seemed okay…. But Desota had a feeling that she was being conned. She sighed heavily and looked over her shoulder at the Keep's towering frame, `So long as I'm able to get away from that place for a while, I'll be oblivious.' She thought.

 

“Seriously, you act as if you're sending me off somewhere.” She muttered, not seeing most of the demons around her tense. Hakkuto just rolled his eyes, wandering again why they weren't allowed to tell her. It's not like she'd get mad about the IDEA of leaving. Just the idea of what where and why she was going….

 

 

“Well, I'd say it's about time we leave then!” Jaden clapped his hands together to snap everyone out of it as he approached the fidgety red chestnut stallion tied to the fence.

 

“Excellent suggestion!” Nar followed him in suit with palomino paint mare, but not before hugging her mate, who swooped down his lips to hers for a fiery good bye kiss as well.

 

Kurosuki whined at how constricted the material containing him was. So Desota gently untangled him and cradled him more comfortably in her arms, seeing as it was Kyo she was to ride, the reins weren't needed. She glanced over at her half brother and his mate giving their `good byes' and decided she should at least do the same for Yoko. At least let him say good bye to his own son, right?

 

She didn't have to worry about approaching him, since just as soon as that thought crossed her mind; strong, lean ivory arms encircled her and her child from the front and gently held them to a firm chest as Yoko hugged them to himself.

 

“See you two later then,” he whispered close to her ear before bending down to kiss the top of Kurosuki's head. The young kit's ears flickered in annoyance as he yipped up at his father. Yoko wasn't ready for when Desota chose that time to kiss him as well on the lips, but he was pleasantly surprised with a light purr of satisfaction.

 

Desota didn't know what possessed her to kiss him, but it was an instinctive impulse or something, but soon as Yoko kissed Kurosuki goodbye and started to rise up, she pressed her own lips to his before he was out of reach. Just as surprised that she had done that as he was, if not more so! But neither seemed to mind the awkward way she initiated the kiss. Yoko seemed more than happy to let his tongue slid out to stroke the crease between her lips to get her to part them. His tail almost wagged when she did and he was able to taste her once more. Even if it was only a brief crease around the inner crevices of her mouth before he reluctantly let her go. Knowing she had to get going.

 

That and the `cough' Jaden rudely hacked loudly to try and break the mood. When Desota opened her eyes finally as she once more regained her bearings, she noticed both Jaden and Nar were mounted and waiting for her to do the same. Joey had a grimacing smile, but a smile none the less, while the other demons beside him smiled knowingly, as if they knew some secret she wasn't privy to. That only made her suspicions on the `ride' more confidently placed.

 

“I guess you're not mad any more?” Yoko asked amused when her aqua orbs finally landed on him still in a slight daze.

 

She shook her head minutely to snap out of it, then let her eyes look up at him almost teasingly, “No, but something tells me I should be mad at you for something else… yet I don't know why.”

 

Yoko humored her and looked as if he actually gave that a second thought, “I guess you're just imagining things now. Ne?”

 

“We'll have to see when I come back.” She rolled her eyes.

 

Yoko smiled smugly at her, retracting the finger Kurosuki fist his small had around and helped her onto Kyo's back, “Guess you're stuck waiting then, ne?”

 

Desota snorted.

 

“See ya, then,” Jaden waved back handed as his red stallion started to lead the mare and Kyo off down the path to the country side and near the boarder.

 

 

When they were out of ear-shot, Chou nudged Yoko's arm, “Getting a head start on the shela there, eh?” he chuckled with a smirk.

 

 

Yoko smirked coolly back at him before he turned back to the Keep, his tail swaying behind him rather than simply laying lax as usual, “I have not the slightest idea of what you mean.” He teased.

 

Hakkuto sighed, “The way things are playing out now remind me of those human romance novels I hear so much about”

 

“You should read one of those; they're very entertaining for light reading!” Suzuki chimed.

 

Shishiwakumaru glared at the blonde over hygienic demon beside him, “You would know, wouldn't you?”

 

“Of COURSE I would know!” Suzuki scoffed as if they thought anything differently.

 

“How are you a male….?” Toya rolled his eyes as they followed their leader back to the Keep.

 

“I'm BEAUTIFUL! That's how!” Suzuki announced proudly.

 

“Riiiiight.” Jin teased and moved out of the way before Suzuki could swat at him.
