Chapter 1
Being the top student at Meiou High, Kurama had been surrounded by lots of female student everyday. On those special events, he really hates to attend the class; but he has no choice, as if he miss the class, his human mother will be sad.
Human mother? Yes, Minamino Shiori is Kurama human mother; the great Youko Kurama hide in the Ningenkai after he gets injured badly, and Shiori raises him up. Shiori was pregnant at that time, but was being told the baby is not healthy; Kurama on the other hand fled from Makai and accidently hide himself into Shiori, giving the life to the baby.
Kurama was given the name of Minamino Shuichi; he is a handsome boy with long red hair and a pair of emerald green eyes. He is smart, well, or shall I say what are those so call exam to a Youko aged more than 800 years?
"Shuichi, do you have a girl friend?" asked Shiori while she is cleaning up the dinning table.
"Okasan, I believe I should be fully focused on my study."
"I bet you are smart enough to handle your girl friend and study together." Shiori laughed.
"Okasan, why don't you take a rest? I will clean up the table myself." Kurama hold his mother to the living hall, and walk himself to the dinning area.
Shiori looks at Shuichi, she knows something isn't right about Shuichi, but she can't tell what's wrong. It's just a strange feeling that Shuichi isn't ordinary boy.
The power of Youko Kurama is slowly releasing from Shuichi, even when he didn't transform. Kurama knows that he is almost recovering from the injury; he is waiting for the full recovery and return to Makai for revenge; and of course, to find his love one, Yukina.
Yukina is wandering herself in the dark forest, staring at the skies, the rivers, the flowers; her mind is thinking only one thing, where is Kurama? She believes Kurama is still alive, and he will come back for her one day.
"Hey, fox."
It was Hiei jumping into Kurama room from the window.
"Yes?"
"Not going back to Makai?"
"Why do I need to answer?" Kurama wasn't very friendly
"It's just a question I help my little sister to ask. It's okay that you choose not to answer." Hiei stares at Kurama.
"You meet her?"
"Of course not, you know I'm grounded in Ningenkai by Koenma. I can't return to Makai until I serve my punishment."
"Then?"
"I know she'll be dying to know if you'll still return to Makai."
Kurama didn't answer, silent. No one ever knows how much he missed Yukina, not even Yukina.
"Yukina, what are you thinking?" Yukina turns back, it was Yomi
"Yomi-sama, I'm just wandering around."
"Lies, you are thinking about Kurama, aren't you?" Yomi promises Kurama to take care of Yukina, if anything happens to him.
"Will he be back?" It wasn't the first time Yukina asks this question
And Yukina knows what the answer is, Yomi always tell her Kurama will never return.
But this time, Yomi answer surprised Yukina.
"You can find him in the Ningenkai."
"What? You mean Kurama is in Ningenkai?"
"Yes."
"Then why doesn't he come back?" Yukina whisper, "Doesn't he wish to come back to see me?"
"I do not know about the reason. But is only until lately, I able to source his power coming from Ningenkai."
"Can I go Ningenkai? Please?"
"Yes, I will give you the grant to go Ningenkai." Any Youkai that wish to pass the portal to Ningenkai requires the passes from the high authority (Yomi, Raizen, or Mukuro)
"Thank you Yomi-sama, but how do I know where is he in the Ningenkai?"
"He is now a Ningen boy, named Minamino Shuichi studying in Meiou High."
"Thank you Yomi-sama."
Yukina waited at MeiouHigh school gate, her stomach is like living with thousands of butterflies. She was nervous, she knows Kurama is here; she can sense his power.
Its school end time, students coming out from the gate. She did attract lots of attention from male students; no one knows who she is and why she is here.
"Hi there, who are you?" A male student comes to approach her.
"Hi, I'm Yukina."
"Such a beautiful name! Why are you here?"
"I'm looking for Minamino Shuichi."
"Not him again! Why all girls are crazy about him?"
"Crazy about him?" Yukina wasn't sure what he means.
"You stay here a little longer, when you see there is a bunch of girls surrounding a red hair boy, that's him."
Yukina waits until she sees the red hair boy; she hears the girls calling him Minamino-kun, seeing him trying to avoid those girls. Yukina feels sour, she wishes Kurama could see her standing there.
"Excuse me; I need to rush back for a tuition class." Kurama tries to walks away from the crowd, but those girls just wouldn't let him pass.
Yukina thinks he might need a little help, she slip through the crowd and meet with Kurama, "Shuichi-kun, shall we go now?" Kurama was surprise, answer "Sure, my love."
He holds Yukina hand and walks out from the crowd.
"How do you find me?"
"Yomi-sama told me you are in the Ningenkai, and he gave me to grant here."
"Yomi, how dare he let you come here alone?" Kurama stares at Yukina
Yukina really wanted to know why Kurama did not return to Makai, but she did not ask.
Kurama touch her hair, then on her face, "I miss you," Kurama kiss on her lips. Yukina tear drop
"Why are you crying?" Kurama wipe off her tears.
"I'm happy to see you." Yukina smile, as always.
Kurama return her with a smile.
"I live here," Kurama bring Yukina to his apartment.
"Alone?"
"Nope, I will introduce them to you later." Kurama brings her to his room; "You can take a shower first," Kurama pass her a piece of towel.
It's been an hour after Yukina went into the bath room, and has been more than 10 minutes Kurama hears no water running in the bath room. He knocks on the door, "Love, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm okay."
"What are you doing in there? It's been some time."
"I, err… I'm waiting for my yukata to dry up…" Yukina speaks very softly, Kurama can hardly hear
"How careless I am! Here, open up the door a little, take this." Kurama hand over one of his shirt, he believes it's long enough to cover up Yukina even without wearing a pant.
When Yukina changes in the bathroom, Yusuke and Kuwabara knock and come into Kurama room.
"Hey brother, football later?" Yusuke asked.
Before Kurama can reply, Yukina walks out from the bath room.
Both Yusuke and Kuwabara were shock when they see Kurama brings home a girl, Kuwabara was staring at Yukina, then stop at her thigh. Kurama quickly cover up Yukina bottom half with towel.
"Brother, your girl?" asked Yusuke
"Yes, she is my girlfriend; she will be staying here with me."
"Stay here!" both of them almost eyes drop. In their eyes, Kurama had been a good little school boy, it is so unbelievable that he actually had a girl friend and now they want to live together.
"What surprised both of you? Aren't I charm enough to have such a beautiful girl?" Kurama hug Yukina
"Nice meeting you, your name?" asked Yusuke,
"Yukina Jaganshi."
"Jaganshi!" shouted Yusuke
"Why you shout? Yusuke?" asked Kuwabara, he is always the last to know anything
"Any relation with Hiei?" asked Yusuke
"You know my brother?" Yukina answered.
"Oh god, unbelievable. A creature like Hiei have such a lovely sister."
Kuwabara almost eyes drop while he hear this.
At night
"Love, do you want to go to school like me?"
"Go to school? What is a school?"
"School, a place for you to learn what the Ningen learned; the place that you find me this afternoon."
"But they are not so friendly with you."
"They are very friendly, too friendly sometimes."
"Really?"
"What are you afraid of? I'm there." Kurama kiss her forehead.
"Okay…"
"I'll help you with the registration tomorrow. Good night."
"Good night."
Kurama sleep on the floor, Yukina sleep on this bed.
Yukina stares at the Ningen form sleeping Kurama; long red hair, oval face, medium body; comparing to his Youkai form, long silver hair, thin oval face and tall thin body. She missed his sharp crimson eyes, but Ningen Shuichi had round emerald eyes, which looks friendlier.
Yukina can't understand why Kurama wanted to stay in Ningenkai so long, is he in love with any of the Ningen female? She is not sure, but she felt that their distance became further even if he is now in front of her eyes.
