Hi! I know, I know. I should be working on After the Innocence. I'm sorry! I'm….slowly...working on it? Here is a little bit of some Kagome and Kurama action to chew on for a little while before the next chapter is up. I haven't abandoned anything. My writing juices just aren't as free flowing as I would like them to be when it comes to that story sometimes.


Meetings

Chapter 1

The first time he saw her she was arguing with the Prince of the Spirit World. It was quite the disagreement from the looks of it too.

"I don't care if you wanted him dead. I got the job done so why are you so damn agitated?"

She's beautiful when she's angry.

Kurama closed his eyes and sighed deeply. The stirring of his youkai nature always signaled the blossoming of an annoying headache.

"You bleeding hearted nitwit! That youkai stole over 800 million yen from the spirit world and killed at least ten people while he was at it! And now you've brought him HERE! Why would I want that?" The toddler slammed his fists on his desk as he stood straight up in his chair. On any other being, the angry expression on his face would surely have been enough to make most youkai cower in fear, but instead he only looked more than slightly comical.

The redheaded avatar watched as the pretty girl in front of the prince dared to "HMPH" petulantly, before stomping her foot.. Her vibrant blue eyes narrowed on the head of the Spirit World before simply stating, "The only reason why he stole in the first place was because his son was dying. That's hardly a reason for a death sentence. Besides, what's the harm in keeping him in jail here? Are you afraid that your prison isn't secure enough to hold him? Surely the all powerful Spirit Realm can keep him at bay. After all, there are far worse criminals out there who you've been quite lenient with, or so I've heard."

At this, the young woman tilted her head and glanced back, shooting Kurama a pointed look. Koenma followed the sharp gaze and stuttered as he took in the human male currently housing the most notoriously successful thief of all time.

Kurama gave him a wry grin and a dry chuckle, knowing the girl had the toddler's hands tied. He noticed the amused wink she sent his way before she turned her triumphant gaze back to Koenma.

The toddler growled in irritation. "Fine, Kagome. We'll keep him. But don't disobey my orders again unless you want your assignments to turn ugly." He sent an equally pointed glare in Kurama's direction.

The woman, Kagome, the silver haired fox who lazily lounged around in the back of his brain supplied, turned around to study the ember haired man behind her. He felt a chill as a foreign aura penetrated his own natural barriers and probed around a bit before he forcibly threw them back up. He glared at her as she scrunched her nose, showing her frustration at the fact that her investigation of his soul had been cut short.

"That was rather rude," Kurama smirked. "At least buy me a coffee before you search through my soul so intimately."

Amused blue eyes twinkled as her facial features smoothed back out. She let out a giggle before she looked back up at Koenma. "I can't say it would be too much of a punishment being sent out on a mission with his crew. Not if all the detectives on his team are as devilishly handsome as this one here." She winked at Kurama again and outright laughed in delight as she noticed the light flush that began creeping its way onto the male's cheeks.

Get yourself together, Kit. If you blush at one compliment she'll know you're a total sap! Show some kitsune dignity for Kami's sake.

"Hey!"

Green and blue gazes flew to the irritated Spirit Prince. "This isn't a dating site! Make goo goo eyes at each other some where else! I don't want to see that crap! Kagome, get out of here before I throw you in jail just because I feel like it! Kurama, hand me your report and lets get this over with!"

The raven haired woman rolled her eyes before sauntering towards Kurama. She grinned as she neared him and leaned close, whispering in his ear as she passed him, his eyes widening as she spoke. "Don't be too flattered, Fox. I've seen guys with much prettier hair than yours before." She laughed, continuing her way down the hall and never looking back.

All the poor kitsune could do was gape after her as Yoko's growls echoed through his skull.

Things were about to get interesting again.


These versions of Kagome and Kurama are much cheekier than the ones in my other stories. They can be much more honest with each other, obviously, so there isn't any dancing around. They're so much fun to write!
