The first part of this chapter is an exchange between Youko and Kurama / Shuichi
To make it easier to understand the telepathic dialog is as follows…

~Youko~

Chapter 5

*During Shippo’s healing*

~That’s a Forest Kitsune Red!!! Their kind was long ago wiped out…how in the hell…~

'What do you mean they were wiped out? I didn’t think it was possible to take out an entire clan of Kitsunes…'

~Well as you know Kitsunes are curious by nature, and looking like you do now do you see the similarities between my influence on your appearance and his natural appearance?~

'Well now that you mention it… it dose look as though we could be related except for his more fox like features'

~Couple that with your knowledge of how our fan club flocks to you…~

'Ok but I do not fully comprehend what our fan club has to do with anything…'

~Well before the barrier was put in place demons roamed free and Kitsunes were by far some of the most attractive of demon species either in their animal form or in their human like form, humans began to covet the true beauty of our kind and hunted them down for their pelts~

'Oh I see…'

~The Forest Clans controlled fox fire, the young were masters of illusion, but in the end it didn’t matter with fighting for survival against other demons, and now from the human threat to the young ones for they were the most vulnerable to the humans. One by one they fell, the she-foxes defending the young, the males defending the home, the young not strong enough on their own… that is why in the makai we don’t run across many of our own, I would wager, considering she clames the kit as her own that his parents are dead and he might well be the last of his kind like we are the last of our own, Silver Spirit Kitsunes were already rare before the massacres…~

'Interesting… it looks as though she truly loves the child, I do believe they are going to succeed in restoring him, though I couldn’t possibly fathom what would cause a Miko and a Monk to work together to SAVE a demon. I thought they were sworn enemies of all demons before the barriers made them obsolete?'

~They are Red, we need to know more about the detective’s strange friends… and that woman miko or not…what I wouldn’t give to bed that supple body…~

'Ahh there is the signal to me you’re back to normal…'

~Do no try to deny you find her attractive as well Red, remember I can read your every thought…~

/Hn. Fox while you were talking to yourself you missed the fact were are on the move into the house to get the answers you want/

*~meanwhile~*

Kagome watched as everyone filed into the house ‘man this is going to be a long night…I just hope Inu Yasha stays put in the past until we get done but knowing my luck…’ she looked down to the child in her arms she couldn’t believe she had just about lost him, she already was harboring fears that he would be killed in the final battle. Then and there she decided she would find a way to keep him safe no matter what.

Kagome followed everyone in she walked over to Sango and handed Shippo over to the Taijya and she turned to Souta…

“Can you go get mama for me please and keep gramps busy, I don’t want him coming in here and flipping out on everyone”

“Yeah sis, I am sorry about earlier…please forgive me”

“There is nothing to forgive; I know my kit and he is a handful when his curiosity kicks in, it could have just as easily happened when I was watching him or anyone else for that matter. The only important thing is he is ok now and that’s all that matters now go and do as I ask”

“Sure Sis, hey do you want me to hide his ofuda’s?”

“Kami Yes!!! I don’t care if you burn them just as long as he can’t put his hands on one while we have company! That is the absolute last thing we need today” mental images run rampit through Kagome’s mind as she envisioned her grandfather running around the room screaming ‘DEMON BE GONE’ throwing useless paper all over everyone.

Souta turned and laced his fingers behind his head as he walked down the hall towards gramp’s room. She turned and faced everyone motioning for them to take a seat. The one known as Hiei refused to sit and just leaned against the wall, with an utterly bored look on his visage. Her mother came into the room as well carrying a stack of ofudas in her hand and promptly hid them behind a large book on the bookshelf. As soon as everyone else was seated she turned to her mother.

“Mama, I know its kinda short notice but do you mind if we have a few more guests for dinner tonight? I believe our discussion is going to take us a while”

“It’s no problem dear, in all honesty I prepared enough food for In… your other friend just incase he showed up a head of schedule… So there is enough food for a small army” Mrs. Higurashi stated almost slipping on Inu Yasha’s existence or lack-there-of for the moment. She wasn’t sure just how much of the truth her daughter planed on telling her cousin and his friends. She turned to go back to the kitchen giving a small nod and a smile to her daughter.

Everyone in the small living room watched the interaction between the Higurashi family. None with as much interest as Hiei and Kurama, Hiei stood in his corner looking almost as though he was dozing off from boredom but in actuality he was trying to use his Jagen eye to look into the mind of the young woman and her strange companions. Kurama and Youko were having their own internal debate on what exactly their youkai senses were picking up on

~RED! Do you feel that power? I want her Red…more than anything I have ever wanted something before…~

‘Youko…do you not grasp the fact that she could kill us if she wished, honestly you need to be thinking about the more important issues like why dose she have a kitsune kit and why is it she has those powers…HIEI Could you find out anything about her from their minds?’

/Hn…Fox she has a barrier around her mind…they all do she knows what I am trying to do I don’t like this/

Kagome’s right eyebrow raised slightly as she felt the slight probing of her mind luckily she had perfected mind barriers, she quickly put a barrier around the minds of the others ‘ha like I haven’t seen that little trick before…don’t need them to find out too much too soon until I know what I want to first’

“Well, how should I begin… I don’t even know how to explain what has happened over the past six years in a way that you would believe without you trying to send me to the funny farm. First though I must ask two things from you, Bara…Yusuke… are your two friends truly trust worthy? No offence but this is my most precious and guarded secret”

“Kags, you know my honor code. I am not as trusting as you tend to be, I have trusted these two here with my life and that of our families on more than one occasion.”

“OK Bara that’s good enough for me, now for my second question for you and Yusuke if you don’t mind…”

“Um sure Kags whatcha need to know?” Yusuke asked as Kagome shot him a determined look. Not good.

“Ok… Sooo why are you two hanging out with Demons?” Kagome asked so sweetly almost as if it was a perfectly normal question to ask some random guy on the street.

Her question floored both young men, even the two youkai in question were slightly surprised by her forwardness.

“wha..what are you tal talking about Kags…” Kuwabara stuttered

“Don’t be silly Kaggy demons don’t exist...*ha ha* You’ve been spending too much time with the old geezer did he hit you over the head or something” Yusuke tried to laugh off her question he was failing miserably to convince himself and her that he was being truthful.

“Yeah you’re probably right, what am I thinking? Demons ha!*sigh* Oh by the way I am a fucking fairy princess! Seriously who the hell do you two think you are trying to lie to? You are a demon yourself Yusuke I am not stupid and Bara you have high levels of spirit energy, your friends there are demons the red head is both demon and human and the other is a mix of some kind… so drop the bull shit” Kagome was fuming. She went from sweet to down right dangerous in five seconds flat. Kuwabara and Yusuke leaned away from her as far as possible without getting up from their seats. Rule one when your cornered never make any sudden movements! Kurama and Hiei opened up their telepathic link

/Hn. They think I am scary/

'She has spirit; I would have never guessed one as innocent and pure as she could speak such language…'

~Red see she is a woman worthy of our attention go and claim her!!!~


Miroku and Sango just looked at each other with a knowing expression
“I do believe Lady Kagome has spent entirely too much time in the presence of Inu Yasha” Sango and Shippo just nodded in agreement to Miroku’s observation.

~ASK HER WHO INU YASHA IS!!!!!~

“Onna, I believe we could ask you the same thing about you and your SON” Hiei decided to ask in retaliation to Kagome’s question.

“*Humph* Shippo was an orphaned Kitsune, his father died to protect him and asked me to take care of him…final wish you know although I would have taken care of him anyway, I love this kit with all my heart and soul and would sooner die than to let anyone harm him… now quit avoiding my question I hate it when someone tries to lie to me and omission is lying” At this point Kagome had her hands upon her hips and the toe of her right foot was tapping against the floor in irritation.

Kurama leaned back against the sofa, contemplating what she just said about the young kit.
'It seems you were right Youko about the child’s family, such a hard life for one so young…'

~Of course I am right I am always right! For example Red she would make a good mother for my.. I mean our kits what are you waiting for go and claim her…if you wont I will do it my self!!!~

/Fox control your self or I will make it impossible for you to have young ones/

A/N: Well here is chapter 5, I know it took me forever to get it out here. My muse is currently on strike so I am having issues moving the story along to where I thought it should be by now… I promise there will be comedy, a pairing will soon develop, and Inu Yasha will make an appearance shortly. Please remember to review, I really need the feedback, it would also help me to improve the story so you can enjoy it more!!!
