A/N: Well, here's the sequel to The Most Dangerous Things Come in Small Packages. It continues not too far after where I left off in the one before.

Chapter One – Moving Out

It had been a couple of weeks after the team had defeated Karoshi, and things had pretty much gone back to normal. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama returned to the human world, Botan returned to the Spirit World, Kitsune and Takara stayed at Gyro's, and Hiei had returned to the demon world back on patrol.

However, Kitsune and Takara were spreading their wings. A few days before, Kitsune had informed her best friend and her mentor that she was expecting a child. Shortly afterwards, she and Takara had decided that they wanted to go to human world and try to live on their own. At first, Gyro had been against it but then, when they wouldn't give into him, he finally conceded and began to help them prepare for the transition.

Gyro had contacted one of his old friends in human world who owned an apartment complex, and paid for them to have a three bedroom, furnished apartment with a balcony. It would be perfect for their first home, but he knew they would have to find something closer to a forest. Neither was accustom to the noise of a city, and he feared there may be a couple of sleepless nights for the two.

Kitsune and Takara were both excited about moving and had packed quickly. They were now ready to say goodbye, however, Gyro was not. "You two are like my own daughters, I would have left you stay."

"Yes, but we both need to learn to live on our own. Besides, what if we find good men and get married? We can't live here forever." Kitsune said as if talking to a small child.

"Yeah, and you can come visit us and we'll come visit you! Just tell us before you visit." Takara exclaimed.

"I know, I know, but I'll miss you both." He said not meeting the two in the eye.

"AW!" The two exclaimed simultaneously. "He loves us!"

Gyro glared at the two annoyed and then whacked them in the heads with his cane. "You ungrateful brats." He mumbled.

"Ow!" Takara exclaimed, tears running down her face.

Kitsune rubbed her head and glared at the old man. "Hey Old Man! You can do that to me anymore, I'm pregnant."

"You're head doesn't affect your womb." Gyro said dryly. "Now get out of here before I lose my patience." He walked off mumbling. "Ungrateful, give them something and they walk all over you. See if I help again."

Both made a face, and then transported to the human world. They appeared in the center of the living room with a jolt. Kitsune was hit by a wave of nausea and ran in the direction she hoped the bathroom was in. Takara stared after her friend with a look of disgust. She was never having children. Pregnancy was not for her. Takara sighed and followed after her friend.

"You ok?" Takara asked. "Would you like some tea, or some crackers?"

"No." The word echoed in the toilet.

"Ok, I'll be in the kitchen when you're finished." And Takara went in search of the kitchen.

A few minutes later, Kitsune emerged from the bathroom. She was pale and clammy. She walked into the kitchen, sat down at the table, and laid her head on the cool surface. Takara laughed at her friend. "I'm guessing that this is a first." Kitsune nodded. "Well, here, maybe some ice water will help." She set the glass on the table. At first Kitsune ignored it. "Now, come on, I know your throat is dry after that."

Kitsune sat up and looked at her friend with tired eyes. "You're right." She said in a raspy voice. She then grabbed the glass and drank it all in one breath. She set the glass down, and breathed out. "That was good."

Takara laughed. "I figured; you drank the whole glass down in less than thirty seconds."

Kitsune joined her friend's laughing. "I was thirsty than I thought." She looked down at her stomach. "Ok you, let's get some things straight. You cannot be mean to me, ok? You can't make me sick all the time and you can't make me tired, ok? I don't have time for that. Besides, I'm bringing you into this world, isn't that enough for you to be nice to me?"

Takara was rolling with laughter by the end of her friend's speech. "Ok, now I've seen it all! I've never heard of anyone compromising with their unborn child, especially this early. Poor thing is only a few weeks old, all his body parts aren't even formed yet, and you're bossing him around. Real nice, Kitsune, real nice."

She rolled her eyes. "You can't tell me that you wouldn't be the same."

"I won't have to worry about it because I don't plan on getting pregnant."

"Oh yes and I planned this."

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry. Let's go see if we can find that place where Gyro got us a job." Takara apologized, quickly changing the subject. She had made a point to never mention Hiei, or how Kitsune had gotten pregnant.

"Well, it shouldn't be hard. He said it was right across the road."

"Yeah, but you've got to remember that Gyro sucks at giving directions. Remember, when he first sent us to find Karoshi? We searched for four hours, and he said we should be right there at it."

"True, but I'm sure it won't be hard to find, I mean, it's the only demon/human owned shop around. We should sense the demon energy." Kitsune reassured her friend, hoping she was right.

Gyro had gotten them a job at a homemade remedy shop that was owned by an older married couple. The man was a human, the woman a demon. The majority of their remedies had come from the demon world with the woman. Gyro had thought it was perfect, because the couple had had three children, so they knew all the ups and downs of a demon pregnancy.

They left the apartment, and were walking down the stairs when they heard a familiar voice. "Keiko! Please!"

"No, Yusuke, you'll interrupt my studies, and I hope to graduate this May, so I can get a good job."A female voice, they assumed Keiko, said back to him.

"I won't bother you, I promise, but please, please, move in with me!"

"No, Yusuke and that's final. After I graduate, we'll talk about it." The door opened and Keiko froze. "Um, may I help you?"

Both realized that they had stopped and were eavesdropping on the couple. "Sorry, we're friends of Yusuke's and we recognized his voice." Kitsune explained quickly, glad she had hidden her ears. This human girl might have freaked.

"Oh, are you from demon world, or spirit world." She asked.

Or not. Apparently, she knew what Yusuke's job entailed. "Both." At her confused look, Kitsune continued. "We're demons, but we lived in spirit world."

Takara nodded. "But, I'm actually half human like Yusuke. Part cat demon to be exact, and Kitsune here is a fox demon."

Kitsune nodded. Yusuke peeked around the corner. "Hey guys! What are you doing in human world?"

"We live here now. We're actually on the floor above you." Takara explained.

"Oh cool, I'll have to call Kuwabara and Kurama and have them come over. I know you were sweet on Kurama." He teased Takara.

Her cheeks turned red. "Watch it. If you remember I have very sharp claws, and I could use a scratching post."

Kitsune knew what was coming; she knew he was going to say something about Hiei so she cut it off before he could say anything. "Well, we've got to go meet our employers. We'll be working at the home remedy shop across the street, and of course we're on the floor above you, apartment 407. Just come by and see us. Talk to you later!" She exclaimed and then walked away quickly, Takara following.

"Ok, what was that about? It's not like they're expecting us."

"He was going to mention Hiei, and I wasn't sure I could handle him asking, so I just had to get away."

Takara nodded understandingly. "It's ok, he seemed like he was busy anyways."

They walked out of the apartment and onto the sidewalk. Both flinched at the noise. "I forgot how noisy the human world is."

Kitsune nodded. "Yeah, I don't think I'll ever get used to it." She scanned the other side of the street. "There it is. Mochizuki Remedies. Come on let's go!" She stopped at the edge of the street cars zooming past. She looked back at Takara with a nervous look on her face. "How do we get across?"

Takara laughed. "Pedestrian Crossing." She pointed to the white lines on the road. "See how the car slow down there, if we walk across they have to stop."

"But what if they don't?"

"Then we get hit by a car and they get arrested." Kitsune looked at Takara in shock. "But that rarely ever happens. So let's go." She grabbed Kitsune's hand and ran towards the pedestrian crossing.

Kitsune closed her eyes as they ran across the street; if she got hit by a car she didn't want to see it happen. Takara stopped. "Oh God, did we die?"

Takara looked at Kitsune like she was pitiful. "No, we made it across the street."

"Oh, ok! Phew, that was scary. I hate automobiles." She looked at the building ahead of her. "Well, let's go meet our new employers."

When they entered the shop, a thousand different smells assaulted them at once. Kitsune had to close her eyes and take deep breaths to get pass the nausea that hit her. Takara fanned her trying to get the smells away from her pregnant friend. What was Gyro thinking, letting a pregnant girl work at a place that smelled like this?

"We'll be with you in just a moment." Came a woman's voice from the back.

A woman with long black hair and gold eyes came around the corner. "Oh! You must be the girls Gyro sent." She shook their hands. "Aneko! Get up here! The girls Gyro sent are here!" She smiled at the girls. "My husband will be in here in a minute. By the way, I'm Kyoko." She looked at Kitsune's pale face. "Dear? Are you ok? You look like you're going to be sick." Then she gasped. "OH! You're the one that's pregnant! I'm so sorry!" She walked over to a shelf and started looking through the bottles. "AHA! Here, take a drink of this. It'll help."

Kitsune took the bottle and took a drink. It tasted awful. She made a face. How in the world could that help? But then her stomach settled suddenly. "Huh! This stuff works great!"

A man came from the back room. "Yeah, my wife took a drink of that stuff every morning from the time she found out she was pregnant until the baby was born. And because it's all natural, it will have no affect on the baby."

"Ok, I've got to ask this. How in the world did you two meet?" Takara asked curiously.

"Well, I am very aware of the other worlds, and she was here to learn more about human medicines. I saw her one day, and thought she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. So, I asked her out. At first she was hesitant because I was human, but then I told her I knew she was a demon and that I was fine with it so she concede. The rest is, as they say, history."

"Well, follow us and my husband and I will show you what your jobs will entail."

They spent the rest of the afternoon exploring different parts of the shop and learning what remedies were used for what ailment. That night Kitsune climbed into her and smiled, she may be able to get over Hiei and have a happy life for her baby.
