Koei: It's onto my first one-shot! . And now you know, I love x-overs, a lot. I have no idea if Kurama has Youko inside of him or something, so just pretend that Kurama doesn't know that he's a demon yet or something, and is just a 7-year-old boy.

Disclaimer: I disclaim.

Night Light

The stars glowed in the sky, colored a pastel purple that melded to a dark raven blue, giving a soft, fluorescent glow onto the field's dew covered grass. A soft giggling broke the tranquil silence; a young girl of about 6, her short hair the color of the night sky was sitting on the grass, staring happily at the radiant fireflies.

"So pretty." She smiled at the firefly clutched in her delicate fingers, admiring its simple beauty. She let it out of her grasp, raising her hands for it to fly with the other fireflies. Sighing in content she lays on her back, listening to the flowing river, as clear as glass, the wind blowing through the cool night air and through her black and dark purple shorts and t-shirt.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" The girl snapped her half lidded eyes open in surprise, glancing towards the young male voice. A redhead appeared on top of a grassy slope, wearing a gray sweater and red shorts, he was right behind her. His emerald green eyes glittered in the light of the little insects. "Who're you?" Asking curiously he approached her.

"Well who're you?" The girl asked happily, nothing seemed to ruin her mood tonight.

"I asked you first." The boy shot back, sitting beside her.

"Well I asked you second." She replied, staring straight back at him. Taken slightly aback by this comment, the boy stayed silent for a few moments.

"I'm Shuiichi, now who're you?" The girl smiled as she decided if she should tell him.

"I'm Kagome, so now you know!" She smiled even wider, brown eyes glowing brightly.

"You're weird." He stated, glancing at the fireflies.

"Well you're cute." She stated back. It was true, the boy's hair was short and messy, but he looked strangely handsome for his age, his green eyes were enchanting, and his face flawless. He blushed at her comment, but Kagome didn't notice as she went back to watching the fireflies. "So, why are you here? I'm here to see the fireflies. Aren't they pretty?" She asked after a few minutes of silence, legs clutched to her chest as she tilted her head his way.

"… Don't tell anyone this, but I sneaked away from my mommy, cause I wanted to go exploring." More silence.

"Where's your daddy? Is he at work? But isn't it kind of late for work?" Her eyes questioning, she looked back at the fireflies after a while of silence. Kurama (I'm just going to call him Kurama) opened his mouth hesitantly, as if scared to answer.

He stared intently at the river, "No, my dad went away somewhere, I think it's very far away." He mumbled out, still gazing into the dark water, shimmering from the fireflies' light. Kagome's smiled faltered a bit.

"My daddy's up there." She pointed into the darkening sky, the moon shining dully as if sensing the change of the mood. "He's in heaven. Mommy said he died in a car accident (I know, so common, bite me XD) or something." He glanced her way, feeling sad.

"I'm sorry." She smiled, still filled with the happiness she shown him a few minutes ago.

"Don't be, I know that he's looking after me up there, and I'm happy because I still have everyone else, like my mommy, my brother, my grandpa ('Though he's so weird."), and my friends, so I shouldn't feel sad." Again he was taken back at her openness towards someone she'd just met. "Hey, would you like to be my friend?" She asked happily.

"Okay." He smiled at her for the first time, and Kagome noticed.

"Hey! You smiled, are you happy?" Kurama nodded, and she grinned. "My mommy says that she was very happy when she married daddy, do you want to marry me? Then we can both be very happy!" She asked, her face a perfect example of innocence as she leaned closer to him. He blushed again, something he didn't do often. Opening his mouth to speak, he found that nothing came out.

She shivered, cuddling next to him trying to stay warm. "It's cold." She snuggled into his side, resting her head on his arm.

"Okay." He said determinedly.

"Huh?" She mumbled, half asleep.

"Lets get married." She blinked, still sleepy.

"Promise?" Kagome queried, closing her eyes.

"Promise." They sat together, enjoying the fireflies' glow.

Okay, another story done! Well duh, it's a one-shot. They're ooc, but hey, they're kids.
