OOOOOkay. . . . so I was going to do a
bunch of little chapters but now it just seems like I�m going with which ever
way the wind blows. The last chapter was a full chapter but this one is going
to come in two parts.� Depending on how
long it takes me to get the very last chapter together it may be split,
however, it is the climax so I�m pretty sure it will be one long chapter.� NE ways, keep the reviews coming and I
promise to get the rest up as soon as possible!!!

Warnings: a lot of fluff in this chapter, the second half
has more actual action

~!@#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@!~

�� Half an
hour later, Kurama slowed to a prowling crawl.� Every sense was peaked and watching for any
disturbance.� There didn�t seem to be any
activity close by; he touched the mental link to his plants, they portrayed
contentment through their alert consciousness.�
They hadn�t felt any vibrations or passing energy in a few hours.
�� Thankful
for that much, Kurama leapt through his unresisting
plants.� If he hadn�t known his vulpine
speed better the fox would have sworn he made the half mile run in thirty
seconds.� Diving into the hidden entrance
to the temporary den and starting the daylights out of his poor kits, Kurama gathered Arianbi by the
scruff of her neck and carried her just as quickly outside.� He placed her gently on the ground before
darting back into the den.� Jiyu, not as unshakable as his sister, cowered in the nest
of velvet leaves.� He whimpered when he
felt and heard his father return.
�� Kurama paused; he in a huge hurry, but that was no excuse
for scaring the �bejesus� out of his children.�
Churring softly, Kurama
nuzzled his son gently and licked his blunt muzzle.� Jiyu pressed
tightly to his father�s legs, his trembling slowly calming.� Gathering the kit by his scruff, Kurama carried him outside to where Arianbi
was blissfully chasing after the fireflies dancing in the moonlight.
�� Placing Jiyu down on the cool ground, Kurama
gave him one last lick before calling Arianbi to him
with a stern �woof�.� Mopingly,
the kit obeyed, approaching her father and plopping at his feet with a
huff.� Kurama
returned her huff with a gentle kiss before darting back into the den one last
time.� Quicker than either kit could
register Kurama was back dragging with him the carry
pouch that had lined the bedding of the den�s nest.� Shifting forms, Kurama
adjusted the pouch over his shoulder before gathering his kits into his large
hands and settling them in the warm pouch.�
They squirmed a bit, trying to get comfortable, as their father wrapped
an arm around them so they wouldn�t be jolted as he started running.� He wanted desperately to rush home and warn
his mate, but Hiei had been with Shura
for a week and he, no doubt, told him what Kurama was
doing and why Kidori had to be left behind.� The damage was done so now it was time to
plan for the worst.� This time, Kurama would not be caught off guard.

~!@#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@!~

�� The portal
to Genkai�s temple was half a day�s run from Gandara.� Kurama, however, veered form the path.� If he went home without a plan, nothing would
be accomplished except he could throw Shura into a
panic and upset his mate.� A plan he had,
however, it was a bit of a long shot.�
Not only did this demon have a good reason to hate Kurama
with a passion, his mistress was sure to be getting fed up with her heir and
his problematic mate.� Mukuro was extremely level headed.� She would see the advantages in helping
out.� At the very least this would be a
great blow to Yomi, their mutual enemy.� That was all filed under the big �IF�; if Shigure was able to somehow able to destroy or disable the
part of the brain that controlled the link.�
He should be able to do it if he gave a non-physic fire demon a physic
eye.� Thank the Gods Mukuro
revived the surgeon after the tournament.�
�� Arlic was farther away then the temple and Kurama could already feel his kits started to stir and
would soon be hungry.� The fox felt
horrible that he didn�t have a moment to pause and let his children nurse.� The sooner he got to Arlic
the sooner he could get home.
�� As he
approached the bionic demoness� domain he slowed
considerably and stopped masking his ki.� The guards posted outside watched the fox
curiously, but made no move to stop him as he made his way to the door.� When one looked at the pouch at his chest
with obvious interest, Kurama growled softly and
wrapped a possessive arm around his children.�
Once inside, a servant appeared with a low bow.
�� Greetings,
Youko-sama.�
How may I be of service?�
�� Kurama fought back a smirk.�
Clearly everyone under Mukuro knew that Hiei had claimed the youko as his
mate and were instructed to treat him accordingly.
�� I would
like to request an audience with Lady Mukuro.�� He answered, �Please let her know that the
matter is quite urgent.�
�� I will
deliver the request myself just as soon as my lady is through with her
meeting.� Might I show you to a place
where you and your children can relax until then?�
�� Kurama gave the demon a glance over.� It was unknown to many that this particular
demon was one of Mukuro�s most trusted
underlings.� She had appointed him to be
the first to greet and access any guests.�
He may not have an impressive ki, but his gift
of sight was a force to be reckoned with.�
He knew everything going on in the domain and could instantly catch any
change or hidden element in any of �his� staff.�
The demon knew exactly what the fox was doing and stood for it, not
bothered in the least that Kurama was accessing him
as he would an adversary in battle.� His
expression remained the same; blank and polite.
�� My mate�s
quarters will suffice.� Thank you.�
�It is my pleasure, of course.�
Kurama
followed his guide through the halls.� He
didn�t want to insult the demon by saying that he actually knew the way to his
mate�s quarters quite well.� Once he was
led to Hiei�s extremely bland room, the page stepped
back to let Kurama enter and stood in the doorway.
�It may be a while until the
meeting is over.� May I send some
refreshments for you?�
Kurama
thought about declining, however, that wouldn�t make Mukuro
arrive any quicker.
�I would appreciate that
greatly.�� He nodded then looked to that
bathroom door then back to the demon waiting patiently in the doorway.� �Will there time for me to refresh myself?�� He asked
�I am quite certain of it, Youko-sama.� Would you
like for me to fetch a maid to sit with your children?�
�That will not be necessary.�� Kurama answered
firmly.
�Of course.�� The page bowed and closed the door softly.
Kurama
sighed as he set the pouch tenderly on the soft covers of Hiei�s
bed.� The covers were actually
deceptive.� When you saw them with the
dull walls of the room, they seemed stiff and uncomfortable.� Yet Kurama was glad
to report that they were made of the softest silk, the bed was also extremely
comfortable.�
The instant the pouch was settled
on the bed Arianbi stumbled out, anxious to stretch
out her stiff muscles.� Jiyu was at her heels; both kits found the soft comforter a
challenging terrain after such a long time of being stuck in the pouch.� They both spent a minute exploring the bed
until Arianbi realized that her Papa had joined them
on the bed.� She churred
happily and scampered over to demand her dinner.� Kurama made a nest
out of the blankets and pillows at the head of the bed and curled around his
kits.
A soft knock announced the arrival
of Kurama�s refreshments.� The demon waited a moment before
entering.� It was Hiei�s
�personal� servant, although the grouchy Jaganshi
would throttle any one who called the young demon that.� The thought of having a servant was
embarrassing to Hiei.�
The boy was young and gangly with no grace to speak of.� He worked very hard on concentrating at
balancing the tray.� The boy was assigned
to Hiei because first and foremost, Hiei was never usually around and, second, when he was he
hated having people wait on him.� The
boy�s ungainliness was his only true flaw.�
He was sharp and quick witted; he was under tutelage of both Mukuro�s trusted Page and, on occasion, Hiei.� One day he would make an adequate guard.
Kurama
had just realized that he never learned the boy�s name.� Sharp, umber brown eyes scanned the room
until a contented mewl from Arianbi brought the boy�s
attention directly to the head of the bed.�
With his attention elsewhere, the young demon didn�t pay attention to
how much force he put into placing the tray on Hiei�s
dresser.� It clanged down, jarring all
its contents and startling both the boy and the kits.� Bot kits stopped
suckling, their reactions, like their coats, were polar opposites.� Jiyu crouched low
to the bed and tucked against Kurama�s belly.� Arianbi�s head shot
up like a prairie dog. Spying the movement and new scent, Ari
clamored out of the cozy nest to investigate.�
The boy cringed, expecting a reprimand.�
He was startled when a soft chuckling filled his head.� He turned, his eyes going wide at the site of
the fearless, tiny bundle of fluff that had set her sights on him.� The young servant approached the bed, his
eyes flicked uncertainty to the infamous Youko Kurama.� The soft
chuckling returned to the boy�s mind.
:She doesn�t
bite.:� Kurama
assured, giving permission for Hiei�s servant to meet
his daughter.
He held out a large hand for the
kit to sniff.� Ari
sniffed his fingers, after a moment he gathered the courage stroked her head
gentle before she scampered to the edge of the bed, wanting to jump and play
with this new person.� Little did the
young kit know, the edge of the bed meant that a fall to the floor would follow.� With a yelp
of surprise she tumbled, tail over nose, to the floor.� The boy, who had been so clumsy with a tray
of food, darted forward and caught the kit just before she impacted the ground.
Kurama
and Jiyu went to the edge of the bed.� They found Ari
cradled awkwardly in the hands of the young servant.� She squirmed and wiggled, trying to lick and
nip his nose, dying to play.� Large,
umber eyes looked bewilderedly up the foxes staring over the side of the bed.
�What�s her name?�� He asked his voice scratchy with puberty.
:Arianbi.:� Kurama replied. �:Thank you for catching her.:
�Your welcome,
sir.�� He smiled, and then noticed
the silver kit at Kurama�s side.
:This is Jiyu.:� Kurama introduced, giving his shy kit a loving nudge with
his muzzle when the boy held out a large hand for him to sniff.� The silver kit twitched a black tipped ear at
the offered hand then shied away, pressing himself to his Papa�s flank.
:We have
never been properly introduced.� I am Kurama.:� The fox dipped his head in greeting.
�� The boy
stumbled up and bowed deeply.� Ari churred happily at the ride.
�� Yes, Youko-sama.�� He stammered, �I am called Ezio.�
�� : It�s a
pleasure, Ezio.:� Kurama found himself liking the young boy more and
more.� He could almost hear his mate
snort at how much of a soft spot Kurama had grown for
children.
�� Ezio played with Arianbi for a
few minutes longer.� Kurama
was surprised to see a short, bent tail escape from the boy�s belt.� It was bent from obvious long mended, broken
bones.� Yet, the boy carried no scent to
alert Kurama that he was a canine or else the fox may
not have been so quick to let him interact with Arianbi.� Not only was it too late now, but the furious
wagging that the bent tail suddenly reminded Kurama
of Shura.
�� Like Shura, Ezio had an air about him
of being mature older than years; learning at a young age to be serious, adult,
a worrier.� And just like Shura there was a playful child dying to be let loose.� Kurama chuckled to
himself, it he didn�t stop soon he would be trying to claim every orphan or
�older than their years� child.
�� Ezio stood with Ari cradled in
the curl of a long arm, tucked his tail back under his belt and checked the
bandana that was undoubtedly hiding equally furry ears.
�� I should
be going, Youko-sama.�� He placed the dark kit gently on the bed
before bowing.� �Thank you for letting me
play with your daughter.�
�� :You are welcome.� She
misses her elder brother greatly, so your attention is just what she needed.:
�� I should
tell you, sir that I have a cousin who once lived in Gandara.� A distant cousin.� My pack is few and had separated due to a
disease.� But, my cousin, she asked of
you last time I saw her.� She wants to
know how you are getting on, should I know.�
�� Kurama was instantly on guard.
�� :Who is your cousin?�
And do you know why she wants this information?:
�� Her name
is Kala.�� Ezio answered, �She tended to you when Yomi
had you.� Or at least that�s what she
told me.� She didn�t want me to repeat
that.�
�� :Tell me, Ezio, how is your sense
of smell?:�
�� The dog
blinked, surprised at the odd question.�
He recovered quickly, being used to needing information on the spot.
�� Superb, if
I do say so myself.� Its how I�ve been
able to mask my scent.�
�� :Yomi has a parasite spy who can
control his hosts.� This demon has a very
distinct scent.� It�s subtle, but most
canines can detect it easily.� Did Kala seem any different to you?� Did she smell any different than you
remembered?:
�� Large,
umber eyes met Kurama�s golden gaze for a brief
moment before they dropped in a gesture of submissiveness and respect.
�� She
smelled like you.��
�� Kurama could see that the pup was trying to remember
everything about his reunion with Kala.� His mouth was set in a fierce frown.� �That was right before Hiei-sama
had brought Shura-kun here.� When we all thought he renounced you.� I haven�t seen her since.� I know where she is, but I don�t visit her.�
�� And you
won�t.�� Ezio
had not noticed Mukuro had approached and stood in
the doorway for the tail end of the conversation.� Ezio, having
expected to leave as soon as he put the tray down, didn�t close the door to Hiei�s suite.� Kurama had noted Mukuro�s ki before she appeared in the doorway.� The pup jumped to a salute then bowed deeply.
�� Of course not, Mistress.��
He agreed urgently.
�� I will
send one of my own to investigate her.�
�� Yes
ma�am.�
�� You are
dismissed.�� She told the young pup.� He bowed and hurried out of the room.� Once he was gone, Mukuro
fully entered the room and shut the door behind her.� �To what do I owe this surprise, Youko-san?�
�� The fox
shifted forms and bowed a respectful greeting to the former king. �I find myself
in the need of an urgent favor.� If you
are able to help me, any price you ask will be paid.�
�� Mukuro stared at the fox and his kits.� Arianbi was
watching the bionic demoness intently while Jiyu, completely intimidated by Mukuro,
hunched at Kurama�s hip trying to hide under his
fluffy tail.� Her gaze flicked back to Kurama�s golden gaze prompting him to continue.
�� I found
out how Yomi has been spying on my family.� He has a mental like with Shura
which he uses to read my son�s mind.� Shura is completely oblivious to this link because Yomi was intent on shaping it to his liking.� I ask that you have your minion, Shigure, destroy this bond, if he can.�
�� Mukuro pursed his lips thoughtfully.� �We shall have to speak to Shigure about this.��
She finally reveled.� �Must your
children come?� I could call a maid or
perhaps post a guard at the door.�
�� If you
would post a guard they will be fine by themselves.�
�� Mukuro nodded and left the room.� Kurama instantly
shifted forms; he took the carry pouch in the teeth and dragged it under Hiei�s bed.� He then
repeated the process for each of his kits.�
By the time he had both kits tucked snugly in their pouch, Mukuro reappeared in the doorway.� The fox crawled out from under the bed and
shifted back to his humanoid form and followed the former king out of the
room.� A quick once over was all the
guard gave to the fox as he and his mistress passed Kurama
gave a more through examination of the guard.
�� He is one
of my best.�� Mujuro
offered, waiting patiently for Kurama�s approval.
�� I trust
your judgment, Mukuro-sama.�� Kurama answered
with a respectful nod.
�� Following
the much shorter demoness, Kurama
received some very astonished glances from the servants and minions who were
not training or on duty.�� After almost ten
minutes of walking they came abruptly to a pair of double doors.� The bionic demoness
knocked once then let herself in.
�� Shigure stood up from where he was going over a huge book
and taking notes on a long parchment.
�� My lady.�� His deep
voice rumbled with only the slightest lisp that accompanied his every word from
what Kurama considered a ridiculous piercing and the
mammoth hoop ring placed through it.�
�How may I be of service?�
�� He bowed to
his mistress and ignored Kurama completely.
�� An operation
is required of you.�� Mukuro
answered.� Shigure�s
eyebrows rose in surprise then his dark eyes flicked to the fox standing
respectfully by the doors.� �Explain your
plight, Youko-san.�
�� As I�m
sure you�ve heard, Hiei and I have claimed Yomi�s clone, Shura, as our own.� I found out mere hours ago that Yomi has a mental link to his Shura�s
mind and has been spying on our family through it.� If it is possible for you to be able to
destroy this link, price is absolutely no object.�
�� Shigure bristled.� He
was used to obeying his mistress but, this was unacceptable.
�� Mukuro-sama,� he started to protest but the bionic demoness cut him off.
�� This child
knows the inner workings of my domain.�
Although his knowledge is extremely limited, Yomi
now knows all of it.� By disabling the
part of the brain that controls the link you will be greatly hindering our
greatest rival immensely.� You will
perform the procedure.�
�� Shigure frowned deeply.�
�Yes, mistress.�
�� You are,
of course, allowed to request your own payment.�� She continued.
�� I want
nothing from the goatling and gold and jewels mean
nothing to me.�
�� I do have
one condition.�� Kurama
inserted.� Mukuro�s
mild gaze turned to the Youko while Shigure scowled.� �Shura did not willingly gain this link; in fact he knows
nothing of it.� Even if I have to provide
the substances myself, my son will not be forced to bear the pain of having his
skull cut into.� If he needs to be
conscious for the duration of the procedure, then so be it, I have ways to numb
him.� If not I will put him to sleep
myself if its required of me.�
�� Shigure continued to scowl and Kurama
knew that his tone and demand was pushing his luck, however he knew the pain Hiei went through in this demon�s hands and Shura didn�t deserve to go though that.�
�� He is my
child,� Kurama continued, �not a worrier coming to you for a third eye or extra
limb.� This is going to save his life.�
�� Shigure rolled his eyes in disgust.�
�� My
mistress demands this of me.� I don�t
care if he�s dead, it will make no difference to me.�
�� Thank
you.�
�� Shigure waved off the thanks and turned his back to both Kurama and Mukuro, dismissing
them.� The bionic demoness
met Kurama�s eyes once before she turned to leave the
room.� Taking the hint, the fox followed
as Mukuro led him back through the halls of her
fortress.� She led him back to her throne
room, as she lounged in her large chair and motioned Kurama
to do the same.
�� Forgive me
if I overstepped my boundaries with your minion.�� Kurama apologized
as he sat in the offered chair.
�� Mukuro studied the fox, her head tilted to one side, making
her look like a bird of prey watching a mouse.
�� I know
better than to come between a fox and his kit. I told your detective as much
not so long ago.� I also know that my
heir would choose your wishes before mine on this matter and I would have Shigure meet my demands rather than Hiei�s
or yours.� I�m sure you�ll understand
why.� Don�t misunderstand my tolerance of
you, Youko.� I
am amused by you and mostly tolerate you because you are the mate of my
heir.� I am allowing this operation
because it will greatly hinder Yomi.� With that said, I have decided upon what my
compensation will be.�
�� Kurama nodded, this whole situation had gone better than he
could have possibly hoped.
�� I want
your son to work this off for a period of years.� I believe four will be sufficient.� During that time he will be treated as any
other of my guards or whatever position I decide should suite him.�
�� Kurama nodded.� �That
is acceptable.� I think, for both our
convenience, that he should do this at an older age.� When he is teenaged and not
a child.�
�� I agree.�
�� I hate to
rush out, but you understand that I�m anxious to return to the rest of my
children.�
�� Of course.� Do you
need an escort to find Hiei�s chambers again?�
�� No, thank
you.� I will return tomorrow with Hiei and Shura.�
�� I will
make sure that Shigure is prepared.�� Mukuro assured him.
�� Thank you,
for all you�ve done.�� Kurama bowed.
�� As I�ve
said, you amuse me and this will piss off that fucking goat.�
�� Kurama nodded and left the room; making his way swiftly
back to his kits.� Upon his return to the
suite, the guard at the door bowed and departed.� Kurama wanted to
leave just as quickly, however, his kits were going to be hungry.� As soon as the door clicked behind him, Arianbi�s nose poked out from under the bed.� Her nose crinkled cutely as she tested the
air around her to scent the new visitor.
�� Come on, kitlings.�� Kurama called softly, ending his words with a churr.� Arianbi shot out of the pouch with Jiyu
bumbling after, his tiny mouth yawning hugely.
�� Arianbi started investigating the entire bedroom the
instant she was out of the cover of the bed.�
Knowing that his rambunctious kits were going to be a tad stir crazy after being cooped up in the carry pouch for most
of the day, Kurama shifted over to his beast form so
he could play with and tire out his kits.�
Delighted, Jiyu and Arianbi
bumbled about trying to pounce on their father.�
Kurama, played the part of �prey� very well.� Rolling on to his back, he let the kits try
and climb on to his chest and belly while gently nipping at any feet, tails or
rumps that got in reach of this slender muzzle.
�� As a
special surprise for his kits, Kurama jumped onto the
bed and started growing a specific flower, like a dandelion seed pod, its
petals were easily disengaged from the stem.�
One single flower was just about as big as his fox head and produced
over one hundred petals.� Once he had five
of the flowers fully blooming in bright pastel colors Kurama
gathered them in his slender jaws. The fox stepped to the edge of the bed and
shook his head furiously.� The petals
instantly shook loose, creating a snowstorm effect along the side of the
bed.� Dropping the empty stems on the
mattress, Kurama watched his kits, who
had frozen across the room.� Arianbi stared at the pile of petals with delight and
frozen trance of anticipation.� Jiyu had ducked behind his older sister, ears pressed flat
against his skull in startled fear.�
Slowly he was peeking our from behind her fluffy tail.
�� With an
arching leap, straight into the air, Kurama landed
directly in the middle of the pile of petals sending them pastel colors flying
everywhere.� This was the only invitation
his kits needed to join in the fun.�
Bumbling as fast as they possibly could both kits dove into the flurry
of flying colors.� Together the three
foxes pounced and rolled, biting and diving, sometimes catching a mouth full of
petals.� Other times getting a tail or
leg that didn�t get out of the way in time.�
The goosed kit would squeal and dart off, tripping on the slippery
petals and plowing into the pile sending another blizzard about the room.
�� Almost two
hours later, two thoroughly exhausted kits contently cuddled into their
father�s underbelly to suckle their tiny bellies full.� As they ate, Kurama,
slowly and thoroughly cleaned both of his kits to stop himself
from fidgeting.
�� Even though
he had only been gone for about a week, it suddenly seemed like an eternity ago
when he was last with his mate and missing children.� The only thing keeping the fox moderately
calm was Khoffie hadn�t any idea when Yomi was planning on invading his estranged son�s mind
again.� Yomi is
nothing if not patient.� Of course the
goat wouldn�t want to blow this wonderfully useful tool, this insight into the
daily life of his enemy.� He would be a
complete idiot to over step himself and alert anyone of his presence in Shura�s mind.� It was
sheer dumb luck that Kurama had stumbled upon the
outward signs of Yomi�s link and his demons hiding in
the Ningenkai watching the temple and being able to
catch one of his trusted advisors all so quickly.� Hopefully, by the time Yomi
knew Kurama was on to his link,
his family would be safely tucked away in a hidden den.� It wasn�t the den he had chosen during his
pregnancy, cut deep into a mountain side, perhaps one day they could relocate
there.� The other den was closed to both Arlic and the portal near Genkai�s
temple.
�� By the time
Kurama was finally ready to leave it was nearly
dusk.� Tucking his kits securely into
their pouch, gaining an annoyed, grumbling whine from Arianbi,
the fox swiftly cleaned the mess of petals and spread them out all over the
mattress of Hiei�s large bed and making the bed over
top of it.� Hiei
probably wouldn�t appreciate the gesture, but the look on his face and smell of
the sheets upon their return would be well worth the effort.
�� Making his
way quickly through the softly lit halls of Mukuro�s
fortress, Kurama�s presence hardly went unnoticed by
the guards, maids or lingering demons he passes.� Word of mouth traveled very quickly through
the demons living in the fortress, that didn�t stop the startled glances and
departing stares.� Even the guard at the door
watched Kurama with mild interest until he blinked,
and the fox had disappeared.
