Prologue

The woman walked through the apartment, stopping in front of the only closed door in the entire complex. She hardly ever goes in this room, her sons room, Suuichi's room. She sighs and closes her eyes, thinking that this was the only place left that her son could be. She put her hand on the door knob, but is reluctant to open it, if Suuichi was inside he wouldn't be happy with her entering without knocking first. 'What are you thinking Shiori? He's your son, you have the right to go in.'

Shiori chuckles softly, and turns the knob. Gently pushing the door open. Her expression fell as she scanned the contents. The bed against the wall, as neatly made as always. The small desk on the opposite wall held school books and papers, all in neat piles. But there was no sign of them being used lately.

Shiori sighs, realizing that her son was gone once again. Earlier that day he had disappeared into his room and had not come out since. She once more scans the room, looking for any type of clue as to where Suuichi had gone. She smiles as she realized the window was open. Shiori chuckles softly, knowing now where Suuichi had gone. He always liked to go up to the roof, especially when he had to be alone and think. She glances at the fire escape that led to the roof of the building, sure enough there were signs of recent use. Shiori nods to herself and exits the room, grabbing something from the table before leaving the apartment all together.

The red haired teenager sat on the edge of the roof, gazing thoughtfully at the waxing moon. He sighed and closed his emerald green eyes, sensing that a certain kitsune was awakening.

/You know you can't keep me inside for ever../

"I know Youko...I already told you that I'll let you out tomorrow, at the full moon." Replied Kurama.

Youko laughs, /You do know that you are talking aloud, Don't you Suuichi?/

Kurama grimaces at Youko's use of his human name, and replies, 'Yes I knew that...'

He sighs and asks silently 'Why do I have to be stuck with an annoying fox in my head?'

Youko feigns a hurt tone, /You wound me Suuichi, Out of all the people I chose you. You should be honored./

Kurama scowled, something that didn't happen very often, 'Honored? For what? Having an annoying fox who blabbers on and on while trying to get me to chase after every pretty girl we see?'

Now Youko was really shocked, he had never had his human half speak to him like that.

Kurama smiles to himself, proud of rendering the kitsune speechless for once. His smile vanishes at a disbelieving whisper from behind him.

"Su- Suuichi?"

Shiori's eyes were wide, disbelieving what she saw. There was no doubt that the teenager before her was her son, but....The teenager that slowly turned around had silver streaks in his flaming red hair. His eyes slowly open to reveal emerald green irises ringed with molten gold. Said eyes widen with recognition as he spots her. He stutters, revealing slight fangs, "Mo- Mother?"

Shiori went ridged, her fists clenched fearfully as she slowly recognized what her son was, "Youkai..."

Suuichi stiffened, a pained look entered his eyes at the accusation, "Mother..."

Shiori steps back, her voice quivering with fear, "You are not my son...youkai"

She wrenches her gaze away from his hurt filled eyes and runs down the stairs, back into the apartment building..dropping a small letter in her haste.

"You are not my son...youkai"

Her words echoed through Kurama's shocked mind. He just could stare after his mother, disbelieving that after all these years, she had finally figured out what he was.

/Well she is partially right. You might be her son but I'm not.../ Youko commented, even though he liked to tease his human half he didn't like it when Kurama was hurt, either emotionally or physically.

Kurama said nothing, refusing to move, speak or even think. Youko was getting worried, this had never happed before, /Suuichi?/

"Don't talk to me! This is all your fault Youko! If you hadn't been battling me for control she wouldn't..."

Youko was shocked at the sudden outburst, Kurama had never lost his composer like that. The kitsune tried to read Kurama's thoughts but had been shut off. This had never happened before, so Youko did the only thing he could think of doing at the time. He reached out with his mind to the only person he has spoken to except Kurama, /Hiei!/

The spiky haired apparition had been resting in a tree when he received the telepathic plea, /Hiei!/

He sat straight up, startled by the fear in the call. He closes his eyes and calms himself, disliking to show his emotions, whether it be through mind link or not, ;What do you want Kurama?;

/I'm not Kurama! /

Hiei's red eyes widen as he recognizes the voice, ;Fox?;

/Yes! It's Youko, now hurry over here!!/

Hiei blinked a couple times, Youko was normally a carefree spirit who loved to tease and play pranks, but something had happened that sent him into a panic. Hiei knew how much the fox cared for his human half, so the fire apparition could only think of one thing that would frighten the kitsune thief. He narrowed his eyes, trying not to let his concern color his thoughts, ;What happened to Kurama?;

Authors Notes: 0.0 I hope you like. This is just something that I thought up since I kinda have writers block on my other story. It will soon be a YYH/IY/Xmen cross over but I kinda wanted to set up the mood. Please review and tell me what you think. Please suggest the pairing in your reveiws..I'm not sure what to do about the pairings...Of no one suggests I might just make it Kurama/Kagome...But If I do get suggestions...I'll tally the suggestions and decide from there. Well anyway....Review!
