Yukina looked out the window, it was a shame it had been a beautiful day outside; and she had spent all of it indoors with Botan. Botan was the closest thing, that she could call a best friend. Back in the ice village, the other women had told there children, about Yukina's mother. And they had all found her strange, she did not want to play with her she mostly stayed by herself.

"Well at least I got him the right food, so he doesn't get sick form eating ningen food." She thought to herself. From her understanding, she was told by Genkai. That ningen food has a lot of fats in it and other preservatives; that animals aren't use to in there diets. and they will most likely get sick. She had taken her attention from outside the window, to the fox; who slept at her feet. As she finished the dishes, It was strange for Kazuma not to help her with the dishes this further proved her point.

After the dishes were put away, she walked out of the kitchen; she had noticed Kazuma was not in the living room playing videogames with Genkai and Yusuke. So she checked the second place that Kazuma liked to stay out side on the porch. As she open the door Kurama ran out and into the bushes. She would allow him out to do his business, and only a few moments later, he would return to hers side again.

"He must be in his room," She said to the fox, as she closed the door. The loud victorious chirps of Puu Could be heard, as Genkai had one yet another match against Yusuke. The large bird wrapped his neck around Genkai, as she pets him. "Hey whose side are you on!?" Yusuke called, in an annoyed voice, which almost sounded Jealous. This made Genkai laugh. It was a rare sound to hear the old woman laugh, but Yukina new that Yusuke met more to her than he would ever know.

She walked down the hallway, as she walked to the place Kazuma had been staying in. "Kazuma?" she asked, as she knocked lightly on the door. "Yukina?" his loud familiar voice could be heard. "Yes it is me, may I come in?" Uhh yeah sure, give me a moment." Scuffling could be heard, as he opened the door, the man hair was messy and his shirt was crinkled. "I'm sorry if I woke you, she said looking up at him." "Nah, as long as I get to see you it's worth it." He laughed.

He stepped to the side, and allowed Yukina into his room, he then noticed Kurama; who he wasn't surprised as at her side. He began to fake sneeze. "What is wrong Kazuma?" she asked in worry, I'm terribly allergic to dogs." Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know" She said as she looked to the fox sitting beside her. The fox ears turned back, as he looked at the human. Kuwabara wasn't afraid of the fox that attempted to intimidate him. Kuwabara thought of Kurama as a friend, but now how he keeps following her around he couldn't help but get jealous

Kuwabara watches as Yukina gets on her knees, getting the attention of the fox. "Hey boy, me and Kazuma need to talk; why don't you go to the room and lay down. I'll bring you a treat, huh good boy." the foxes ears lifted, as she snuggled him petting his head, and the fox reliantly left the room. He looked back as Kuwabara shut the door, keeping the fox out, as he turned back and Yukina was sitting on the empty chair, next to the window. As usual, He said to him self. He had noticed that Yukina loved to sit by the window, and noticed that Hiei did as well; and just figured it was an apportion thing.

"Kazuma I need you to be honest," she said in a low sadden voice. "What is it Yukina?" He said as he sat on the end of his unmade bed. "Kurama's dead isn't he?" She said her eyes hidden by her bangs. This question threw Kuwabara off; he leaned forward and began to open his mouth, to explain to her that he's alright there but then remembered the situation.

"Why do you think he is dead?" He asked in an equally low voice. "I heard you calling out his name several times, I know he's been missing for a while, and no one will tell me what is going on." He could see as tears fell from her eyes and hit the floor. He hated to see her cry; she looked at him her huge red eyes, filled with UN formed stones.

"He's not dead Yukina, He looked into her eyes." he was telling her the truth, "He's in a bit of a situation and was having a hard time, figuring out how to get him out." Kuwabara had gotten off the bed, and knelt down in front of Yukina. "He was bending the truth, but he was telling the truth; and that is the best he could do for her. A lot of pressure had recently, been put on to there relationship. With in the last few weeks, Kuwabara was a ware of her hundredth birthday, and was a little skeptical of what would happen. Strongly disagreed with premarital sex, and didn't have enough money for a wedding.

Now to top it off, Kurama not only one of his closet friends but tutor. Is staying with Yukina in her room, and from what he heard from the others; even bathing with her. He wasn't sure if this was just an act, not to break Yukina's heart. Or it was intentional. But either way, he wasn't happy about the added pressure. "Yukina's eyes looked a little bit more relived, as she leaned back in the chair. "You're telling the truth, I can see it in your eyes." She said, a small smile forming onto her lips. "Of course Yukina, why wouldn't I?"

She placed her hand on top of his, as she began to look out the window. "I believe you're the only one, telling me the truth anymore. And it's nice to know I can trust you." They sat in silence for a few moments looking out the window.

Kurama had not done what the ice maiden had instructed him, and honestly didn't care. The treats weren't to his likening, he had his head placed to the door listening to there conversation, "what a way to manipulate the truth," Kurama thought the was a quite whisper, going on between the two Kurama attempted to listen, but found it tiresome and figured he would hear about it from Yukina later.

He waited at the door until he heard Yukina get up and began to walk to the door, he was quick to go to Yukina's room and lay on the bed that she had made him. As he predicted only a few moments later Yukina came into the room.

"Hey there good boy," She called taking her hand out calling for him. He came to her as he sat down beside her, she kissed his head. "it's been a long day huh?" She got off her knees and walked over to the bags that have been neglected for some time now. "Do you want to see what Botan and I picked out today at the store?" She said as she picked up the bags and placed them on the bed, he walked over to the bed and sat at the end watching her sort though bags.

She had a Varity of clothing, from what he could quickly tell, there were some new night gowns and socks. "I'll go model them for you okay boy, Kurama let out a little bark as he jumped on to the bed, and laid down. He had remembered this it must be in all female genetics, to want to show of there new cloths to closest person. His mother did this often; and once and a blue moon, Kurama would get stuck in one of Botan's many shows.

A few moments later, Yukina came out she was wearing something very unusual, it was a short sleeve shirt, and a pair of shorts that came to her knees. Kurama had no down that Botan had some influence on this outfit. She didn't look bad in the outfit, it showed off her delicate features; but still covering those horrible scars. "What do you think boy?" she asked as she spun around, and looked at him again "Botan says I can wear, this when you and I garden it will be less work, to have to get my kimono clean." she then spun again, and walked into the bathroom.

Kurama noticed, how well the pants fit her hips; and showed of her small curves. Kurama shivered as he thought about it. "It's Yukina," he thought to himself, he usually said this because 2 weeks ago; he only thought of like a little sister, and now things changed so quickly, it wasn't right. She came again this time, wearing some sleeping apparel it was short it was easily above her knees and from what he could tell the fabric was silk and it had small pieces of fabric that held the piece together on her shoulders.

He bit his tongue, as she spun around it "I picked this out my self." she told him happily "I like the way the fabric feels. She then realized that the tag, and fallen on the floor and bent over to pick it up, there was a clear view of her chest; she was not wearing a bra yet again. And this made Kurama, even more uncomfortable.

He lowly growled to himself, as he looked away, he attempted to keep all thoughts away. As he figured, if he were to keep feeding off of Yukina like he had his first form back would be Yoko and he wouldn't think twice, about taking the small teasing ice apportion. She took the tag and threw it away, "I'm a little iffy about this one, but it is Kazuma favorite color."

She said as she walked in and closed the door. "It better not be another nighty," He thought defensively. "Now I'm sounding like Hiei," he sighed as he waited, the small ice apportion appeared out of the bathroom; wearing the little number she picked out for Kuwabara. Kurama's eyes widened, as his jaw dropped on to the bed. It really wasn't a long distance down since he was lying on the bed but he stood in Awe.

He was shocked that the little innocent ice apparition, was wearing such a thing and what was worse part, was she looked good in it. Kurama took a deep breath, as now there was on going back he was holding on to his will by a string. "As long as she doesn't get close to me, I'll be fine" He thought to himself.

"Aww you're a good boy," she had noticed that her fox had looked away, when she walked into the room. "It's okay if you look, I'm asking your options." she said with a smile as she walked and sat beside the laying fox, leaned forward to kiss his head she could feel his heavy breathing. "Are you hot boy?" she asked as she walked forward, and opened the window, the cold air blowing against her body, made her sigh. "It's nice outside isn't it?" She looked back, to see the fox that was standing up on the bed, the look in his eyes were different she looked to him. "Boy?" She called, as she was quickly knocked to the ground.

He couldn't take it anymore, they way her hair blew in the breeze, the way she looked in that outfit and the light cold breeze, was enough to send him over the edge, he had pounced on Yukina. He lightly took her neck in his mouth, as he moved his hip between her legs. His front paws sitting beside her, he heard a loud cry and it was quickly silenced. "Boy?" she cried lowly it wasn't from pain, more than it was fright. At that moment Kurama had gained control, and was discussed with himself. He let go of her neck, and began to back away from her.

Yukina just sat up, as she held her neck there was no blood flow, but he could tell she was in a little bit of pain." she looked down to the ground, Kurama had expected he to start crying; and everyone come into the room but she stayed silent. He couldn't take awareness any more, and left out the opened window. He had made sure; he was deep enough into the woods before resting. It would be easy to track him down, since he wasn't hiding what little Youki he had left. If he were to be killed by Kuwabara, he didn't want Yukina to see it.

"I can't believe I did that," He growled to himself. "All she has done is taken care of me, and all I am doing is causing her more pain." He continued to come down hard on himself, as he passed back and fourth in the clearing. Foot steps that were coming his direction. Stopped his thoughts, as he waited; to be killed by the angry Kuwabara. He said a prayer to the gods, as he looked out to see it was no other than the ice apportion.

He had just assaulted, Tears filled her eyes as she knelt in front of him. "I have been looking everywhere for you," she said in a broken voice. "It's my fault it happened not yours." She said as she moved closer to the fox. He moved father away. "Please don't be mad at me?"

"Was she apologizing to him? What did she do wrong? He was the one that was about to have his way with her, he was the one that was going to break her heart, he was the monster not her. He sat still the next time, she moved closer to him. "Please don't leave me." She asked in a low tone, almost hard to hear, "I don't have much left," she said again. As she grabbed the fox into her arms, and held him against her chest; her face now barred into his neck again. She noticed that the fox was not fighting back. "You forgive me?" She asked. And figured as he laid there it was a yes.

They sat there in a silence for a few moments, before it began to rain. She looked at him tears still filling her eyes. As he looked back into to them, he could tell there was something that she wanted to talk about, something that had been bothering her. Tears formed again, and as it slid down her cheek he leaned forward and licked it off.

She looked stunned, as she looked down to see the strange look on his face; it was like he had eaten a sour fruit, and she began to laugh. "Silly boy," the fox stuck out his tongue as he attempted, to wipe the taste off with his paw.

Though the tasted awful, he would have to remember that her ears are different from most humans. He couldn't help but smile, when he heard Yukina laughing; it was some reassurance, since he was the one that made her cry. Let's go home, and get that nasty taste out of your mouth. She her self had accidentally swallowed the gem, before it hardened. and it was very sour taste. They walked beside each other until the got home surprizing enough as Kurama began to walk towards the door she stopped him and directed him to the window.

"It is the easiest way to get in and out with out being noticed, I didn't want the others to know what happened between us." She said as she almost seem to forgiving about his "Accident" she allowed him to jump though the window moments later she was in the window with ease she closed the window to only a crack and looked at him. "I should explain better detail huh?" She asked, as she slipped of the extra par of shoes she was wearing and hid them back under the bed.

Kurama was surprised at the fact that Yukina would keep an extra pair of shoes under the bed. Maybe she snuck out more often, and then he had thought. She sat down on the bed, and patted the side as his invitation, he did not except not trusting himself; and sat on the ground directly from the ice apportion. "Remember the story of my home lands?" she continued. "My hundredth birthday is only a week, and a half away, and I had asked Kazuma to become my mate, you see if he dose not except me, with that time I will carry a child. And well" She looked down "There is no other choice, to go home for good."

Kurama's eyes widened as he looked at her "What? Why?" he thought to him self. "I can't bring that on Kazuma, he wants to finish his schooling to become a healer, and If we don't become mated. My child and I will only get in the way. The fox laid his head onto her lap. "I know it doesn't make any since, but you see if he were to except me as a mate we mark each other and I my system will go from a sexual to needing to mate." She said as she began to play with his ear and giggled as she watched his tails sway side to side.

And after his schooling is over, we will be mated to the human customs, none of them could tell we've mated before." she looked over to the fox, almost proud of her idea. "But Kazuma being stubborn and I were able to talk to him, and say he'll tell me his decision in a couple of days." She said as she stopped petting his ears," Kurama eyes widened again, "he will go though with the mateing?" He thought.

Well Kurama couldn't help but feel a little jealous, about not having Yukina to himself. But he had to remember that he wasn't as close to Yukina, in his human form. And he shook in fear, as he attempted to imagine what would happen; if he were to show that he was the fox. Those times, it would be to awkward and just drive them apart more. This was the best for her. He watched as she lay down on the bed, and once again patted the side of the bed for him, to join her. "Come on boy its okay," she called as she looked at him.

He was beginning to deny her offer, but he had noticed that the connection once again was open to him. And maybe this was the push, he needed to come back into a humanoid form; and fend for himself. The quicker he was away from Yukina the easier it would be for both of them; he jumped up and lay beside her. connecting to her youki she snuggled into his warm fur. "I don't want to leave my friends here in Ningenkai," she said as barred her face into his neck. "I like it here to much," Was all she mumbled, a she fallen asleep.

He had been traveling for a few days now, and was on the way to Ningenkai soon, he hand wondered what was taking the fox so long, and to give Yukina the note it wasn't like him to forget something like that. He jumped out of the portal, and into Genkai's land, he maidenly smelt the blood of the fox, and looked around seeing the backpack that he carried on the ground with the items scattered around the ground, Hiei walked over and looked at the belongings; the letter was gone, and also most of his valuables. He was now more worried about the fox.

He followed his sent of old blood, to a bush where there had been bits of white fur. "What ever it was injured the fox, enough to transform him in to his regular form." He thought out loud, but as the wind picked up he then smelt the blood of his sister. "Yukina" he called and he quickly, passed this sight. He stood in the middle where the decaying bodies of the wolfs lay. There coats were thick with blood and mud. This made the Jaganshi interested, he took the cloth off his jagan eye and it glew red, as he attempted know what had happened that night.

He watched as if he were there, he saw the fox indeed in his true form a was being surrounded by wolfs. "Fool" Hiei said as he continued. The fox kept his ground but was stunted when one of the wolfs fell, and he looked Yukina had a stick and was attempting to scar off the wolfs. "What is she doing?" Hiei almost sounded irritated that she was attempting, to save the foxes life.

He watched as they were both attacked, and was slightly shocked and proud when he saw Yukina, using her abilities to save them both. He then chuckled, as he watched his sister cry of the wolfs, that she killed "Yukina" he said softly, and then he watched her pick up the fox, and disappear with out a word, he made it over to Genkai's temple.

Kurama had woken up in the middle of the night, he had been feeding on Yukina's youki for some time now, and felt energized and he snuck off to the bathroom closing the door behind him. He had attempted to transform back to his human form and it had worked. His paws turned into hands, and he grew to his regular height of 5'8.

He looked in the mirror "Wow," He said quietly, as he was now at his human form. "She is a great healer." he said again as he was amazed, that he already could go back to his human form. It was noticeable that his body had been neglected, in the time of his fox form. he had body odder, and his hair was very oily.

"I will shower, barrow some of Yusuke's close and leave." he said to himself, as he stepped into the shower, and turned it on attempting to be as quite as possible not to wake the ice apparition and again he was proud of his great stealth.

He had finished his shower, as he stepped out and grabbed the nearest towel, and looked down to it. It had been the one Yukina had been bathing him with, when he was in his fox form. He sighed as he wrapped it around his hip. "That time is over," he reassured him self as he opened the door. He had he took to steps out side of the bath room, before he was hit a medium sized creature "What the hell?" he thought.

Hiei had known of Yukina's room, when he was living in Ningenkai, he had stayed in the tree above her room. He had enjoyed what time he spent with Yukina even if she wasn't aware of his present. Appeared in font of the window, as he looked it was cracked open and strange scents filled the room, the on that cough his attention was arousal he opened the window wider as he began to step into the room.

"I smell the sent of the fox," he thought he had made it into the room. And looked to see his sister; sound asleep on one side of the bed. The other side looked like it had been occupied as well. Hiei began to growl loudly, as he looked to see the bathroom door open and watched the fox, which had just taken a shower; and was still nude as he walked back into his sister's room. "The fox will die he said quietly as he ran forward attacking the apportion"

What do you think, bad time for Hiei to walk in huh? And I wonder if Kuwabara will say yes to Yukina??
