Sequel
Two years later……
" I can't believe we're finally graduating!", Kuwabara exclaimed happily.
" You're telling me! Now I don't have to worry about getting hurt from attacks and possibly missing school", Kira answered with a sigh of relief.
" That is true. Luckily since Angel's been locked up, you haven't been attacked as much", Keiko commented thoughtfully.
Kira was about to answer when the headmaster announced it was time for the ceremony to begin.
The graduation ceremony lasted for the next two hours, ending at six that evening.
" I thought that would never end", Yusuke declared coming up the three graduates.
Kira rolls her eyes at her brother,
" Why are you complaining? You weren't the one graduating, you slacker", she scolded him.
" Ouch, that really hurts sis. Give me a break, I was in demon world remember? And besides I'll eventually make it up", he replied with a shrug.
Kuwabara and Kira bust out laughing, while Keiko turns to comfort her boyfriend.
" Hey come on you two, give him a break. He had very important work to do", Keiko scolded the two.
They quickly compose themselves and put on straight faces.
" So, where's lover boy? I thought he was going to be here", Yusuke asked looking around for Kurama.
" He was here, he told me he had to go home to do a few things before the ceremony ended", Kira replied.
" Doesn't he remember that we have a celebration party at Genkai's?", Keiko asked with a frown.
Kira shrugs,
" I don't know, I assume he does. I have to home and change anyway, I'll ask him when I get there", she replied.
" Ok, we'll meet you there. Be careful", Yusuke cautioned her.
" I will, see ya", she replied with a wave and headed back to the apartment.
Keiko turns to Yusuke and gives him a suspicious glare,
" You know what he's doing, don't you?", she accused him
Yusuke looks down at his girlfriend with feigned innocence,
" I don't know what you mean", he replied.
" Sure Urameshi, what ever you say. Let's get to Genkai's", Kuwabara snickered, as the three friends made their way to the shrine.
" Key Kurama, I'm home", Kira called out as she entered through the door.
' I wonder where he is', she thought as she went into her room to change.
She had just gotten out of her skirt and top and had just put on a sports bra, when she felt two arms come around her.
" Looking for me?", a voice whispered in her ear, causing her to shudder.
She turns around to look directly into two green eyes,
" Yes I was looking for you. Do you remember we have that get together at Genkai's?", she informed Kurama.
He places a chaste kiss on her lips before responding,
" No I did not forget. I needed to get something ready before going over there, and I wanted to wait for you", he answered with a smile.
" Oh, and exactly what was it you had to do that required you to miss my graduation?", she replied with a smirk.
" That I can not tell you. You will just have to find out tonight at the party. Now, finish getting dressed before I decide to let Youko out and have some fun", he told her with a smirk of his own.
Kira looks at Kurama with wide eyes,
" You wouldn't dare?!", she hissed at him.
His eyes turn gold.
" I would. Now get dressed and meet me out in the living room", he replied with a chuckle as he left her room.
" That jerk!", she silently fumes as she finished getting dressed and met Kurama out in the living room.
" Alright, I'm ready", she announced coming up to him.
Kurama looks up as she walks in, wearing a black knee length skirt, white halter top and black flats.
' Damn red, she looks hot! Can't we just take her here and now?!', Youko pleaded.
' As much as I would like to, we can' just yet. Be patient', Kurama replied calmly.
" Kurama? Are you ready to go?", he heard her ask again.
" Huh, what? Yeah, I'm ready", he finally answered.
She looks at him with suspicion then proceeds out the door with him right behind her.
" Ok, spill it, why were you so out of it when I came into the room?", she finally asked after walking in complete silence.
" Huh?", he replied.
" You know what I'm talking about, Kurama. Was it something Youko was saying or commenting on?", she insisted hands on hips.
" Don't worry, he wasn't saying anything perverted. He was just commenting on how beautiful you look tonight, that's all", he finally replied with a smile.
His answer made her blush, then she resumed walking.
' You left her speechless, and blushing. Good job!', Youko commented smugly.
' It would seem so', Kurama replied with a grin.
The two reach Genkai's a little after seven that evening.
" It's about time you two showed up! What kept ya?", Yusuke greeted them with a smirk.
" Probably doing the 'tango'", Kuwabara replied with a perverted grin.
Kira looks over at Kuwabara with a glare as her eyes flash gold,
" What was that, Kuwabara?", she hissed.
Kuwabara pales as he notices her eyes and begins to back up,
" Uh, no-nothing Kira. I- I just meant… Oh boy, I'm in trouble!", he muttered and bolted out of the room.
" You're not getting off the hook that easily, Kuwabara!", she yelled at him, preparing to go after him.
" Let him be, love. We'll get him when he least expects it", she heard Kurama whisper in her ear. She gives one last growl, then relaxes.
" Fine!", she growls.
" Man sis, you're scary when you're pissed!", Yusuke commented.
" Then don't piss me off", she replied with a smirk.
" Are you two going to argue all night, or are we going to get this party started?", Botan asked, hands on hips.
" Yes, let the party begin", Genkai agreed with a small smile.
" But first, I think Kurama has something he wants to ask Kira", Keiko replied with a grin.
Kira looks at Kurama in confusion.
" What is she talking about, Kurama?", she asked looking at him quizzically.
He reaches into his right pocket and pulls out a black velvet box.
" You remember how you said that you would be my mate, but wanted to wait until after you graduated?", he started by asking her.
She slowly nods her head, not being able to speak.
" Well, I would be honored if you would officially accept to be my mate and wife", he finished, opening the box to reveal a beautiful single inlaid diamond ring.
Kira's eyes go wide in astonishment.
" Well, are ya going to say yet or what?", Yusuke replied, arms crossed.
" Huh? Oh, yes I will!", she finally managed to say, giving him a hug and a deep kiss.
" Now let the celebration begin!", Yukina announced.
The party lasted well into the night, with everyone deciding to spend the night at Genkai's. Since there was limited space, Kurama and Kira had to share a room.
' Yes, finally we get to sleep with our mate!', Youko cheered.
' Calm down, nothing sexual is going to happen', Kurama replied with a inward grin.
' Like we care. Just being in the same room as her is fine by me', Youko replied seriously.
' Good, because for right now that's all that's going to happen', a feminine voice cut in.
He turns towards the doorway to the bathroom to see Kira standing in some boxers and a tank top, with a sly grin on her face.
' Damn, I keep forgetting that she can hear me', Youko cursed, trying to remain calm and not take over.
" You know, it's going to be hard to sleep with you dressed like that", he replied out loud.
" Then I guess you're going to be up all night", she replied climbing underneath the covers.
Kurama joins her and brings her against him, his arm around her waist, and both of them instantly falling asleep.
The next morning, Kira woke up early the sun hadn't even come up yet. She attempts to get up, but feels an arm tighten around her. She turns around to see green eyes staring back at her.
" Good morning love, did you sleep well?", Kurama greeted her with a small smile.
" I slept very well. Now, I have to get up and shower", she whispered to him, trying to get up.
" How about we stay like this for a few more hours? The suns not even up yet", he whispered in her ear, causing her to shudder.
' Man if he keeps this up we might end up mating!', she thought to herself, as she tried to calm down.
' She's aroused, red!', Youko exclaimed.
' Yes, I noticed. I think it would be wise to let her go, don't you', Kurama replied with some reluctance.
He releases her so she could go bathe.
" Would you like to join me? Less hot water to waste", she asked innocently.
His head shoots up and he looks at her with eyes wide in surprise.
" Suit yourself, but don't blame me if all the hot water's gone", she told him as she went into the bathroom and shuts the door.
It takes him a couple minutes to process what had just happened and mere seconds to get up and follow her.
She had just gotten in the shower, when she sensed Kurama had entered. She peeks her head out and smirks at him.
" So, decided to join me after all?", she asked him.
He answers her by removing his clothes and stepping in the shower with her.
" I guess that answers my question", she whispered huskily.
He quickly captures her lips in a passionate kiss, his arms going around her waist to pull her closer to him. She presses up against him deepening the kiss. They had to finally pull away for air, Kira's face flushed from her excitement.
" Wow!", she managed to whisper.
" You do realize that if we continue this, it could go further than we intended", he told her softly.
" Maybe it will, maybe it won't", she replied, turning away from him to wash her hair.
' She's a tease!', Youko exclaimed in surprise.
' You bet I am!', she replied with a inward smirk.
They finish the rest of their shower, cleaning up then exited the bathroom to get dressed.
" You know this means war for teasing me", he whispers in her ear, bringing her against him.
" Bring it on, old man", she replied teasing him.
" I might be old, but that just gives me more experience", he replied squeezing her butt as he left the room.
' Man, he's really asking for it!', she groans to herself as she follows him.
Back in Spirit World……
" Koenma, Sir! We have a problem!", a blue haired ferry girl exclaimed running into the princes office.
" What is it, Botan!?", he snapped impatiently.
" Well…uh…", she hesitated, not knowing how to tell her boss that one of the prisoners managed to escape.
" Spit it out woman!", he bellowed.
" One of the prisoners escaped!", she blurted out quickly.
Koenma paused in what he was doing and stared wide eyed, mouth open at Botan.
" How? Which one?", he finally managed to ask, while slowly sitting down.
" We don't exactly know when she escaped. One of the guards went to check on her and her cell door was open", Botan answered.
" Which. Prisoner. Was. It", he asked again, trying to remain calm.
She took a deep breath before answering.
" It was Angel, sir", she finally replied.
" Oh no! Botan, get to Genkai's and inform them of the impending danger. I have a feeling some one helped her escape", he ordered her.
" But who could've helped her? I mean we check every one who comes in her", she replied with worry.
Koenma puts his head in his hands trying to think,
" I don't know Botan, I don't know. Just go and alert the others", he answers with a sigh.
" Yes sir", she replied a bow, then left to Genkai's.
" This is not going to be good", the spirit prince said to himself.
" Come on sis, you fight like a girl!", Yusuke teased his sister as he dodged a punch.
" Gee Yusuke, very observant! I am a girl, moron!", she growled at him as she swept his feet from under him.
" Give up yet, big brother?", she taunted him with a smirk.
" Not quite!", he grunted as he took her foot and twisted it, bringing her down.
" Got to cocky, little sister", he replied with a smirk of his own.
" Yeah, yeah. Help me up would ya?", she replied with a scowl as Yusuke helped her up.
" You can't be cocky when you have an enemy on the ground. If Yusuke had been a demon, you would've been dead right then", Kurama told her in a serious tone.
Kira glares at Kurama, arms crossed.
" Lighten up Kurama. We haven't been attacked in like two years. I'm not rusty and I haven't slacked on my training", she growled at him.
Kurama's eyes flashed gold as he takes a step towards her.
" I am not about to let something happen to you. Any demon put there can try and claim you as their mate, and I am not going to let that happen!", he growled back at her.
Kira narrows her eyes at Kurama, her eye's turning gold.
" Oh boy, she's pissed! Kuwabara I think we might want to get out of here!", Yusuke warned him.
" I'm way ahead of ya, Urameshi!", he replied making his way quickly towards the shrine.
" And I said I can handle myself!", she snapped at him, standing her ground.
Kurama was just about to respond when they were interrupted by Genkai.
" Enough you two! Botan just arrived and has some news from Spirit World!", she snapped at them.
" Can't it wait? I'm not finished with my conversation with Mr. Possessive!", Kira replied glaring at Kurama.
" Save it for later! Now go!", she yelled at her.
Kira gives Kurama one last glare, then storms off.
Genkai looks at Kurama with a raised brow,
" What did you do this time?", she asks.
" Opened my big mouth", he replied with a sigh as he too walked away.
Kurama and Genkai arrive shortly after Kira to see Botan pacing back and forth, a worried expression on her face.
" Okay Botan, what's so important that the toddler told you to get here quickly?", Yusuke asked, arms folded.
" We have a serious problem. One of the prisoners escaped", she started explaining to them. Once she knew she had their complete attention, she continued,
" Some how, some one helped them escape. But we haven't figured out who yet", she paused again.
" Who escaped?", Kira asked, knowing that she wasn't going to like the answer.
Botan looks nervously at the ground, not wanting to answer.
" Who was it, Botan?", Genkai asked her again.
Botan looks at all of them, then rests her gaze on Kira,
" Angel", she said grimly.
There's gasps from every one except Kira who looks at Botan with no shock or surprise.
Kurama looks over at his intended to gauge her reaction.
' She doesn't seem shocked at all on the outside', Kurama commented to Youko.
' But her heart rate tells something entirely different', Youko replied.
" And you don't know who helped her yet?", Kira finally replied.
" I'm afraid not", Botan replied softly.
There's silence once again, before Kira walks out of the room.
" Where's she going?", Kuwabara asks in surprise.
" I don't know, but I think it's best if we leave her alone", Genkai answered.
Yusuke and Kurama both look at her in shock, not believing their ears.
" What do you mean, leave her alone? Angels on the loose and could be on her way here!", Yusuke exclaimed angrily.
" For once I'm going to have to agree with Yusuke. It's not safe for her to be by herself", Kurama replied calmly.
' Red, I'm going to have to agree with the old hag. She's still pretty pissed at us from earlier', Youko replied.
' Be as it may, we need to protect her', Kurama argued back.
' Like she said, she can take care of herself. She's a big girl', Youko argued.
' So you want something to happen to her?', Kurama snapped.
' Red, calm down! Of course I don't want anything to happen to her!' Youko snapped back.
" If you and Youko are done arguing, we need to figure out who helped Angel escape", Genkai interrupted.
" And for that we need to head to Spirit World", Yusuke added, with arms crossed and a scowl on his face.
" Kurama, go find Kira and meet us there. And try not to piss her off anymore than she already is", Genkai instructed the fox.
Kurama nods his head and goes off in search of Kira, while Yusuke and Genkai rejoin the others and head to Spirit World.
