Kagome watched as the blossoms of the god tree danced on the gentle breeze. She was alone at the shrine, her mother with her new husband, brother at college, and grandfather dead for a year.. She sighed and stretched her hands above her head and arching her back then picked up the broom she had leaning against the god tree. She was about to start sweeping when she felt people enter the shrine grounds. Thier auras where distinct and powerful, sending a shiver down her spine. She took a a deep calming breath and began to sweep.
A few munites later a man and child clutching a newspaper stepped up into the courtyard from the steps. The elder was tall, with long black hair. He had an athletic build, narrow face, long calloused fingers, His narrow eyes where unseeing but he was completly aware. He was dressed in blue jeans and a white tee and his sneakered feet didn't make a sound on the smooth stone surface of the courtyard. The boy looked like a miniature version of the man, his large pink eyes where taking in everything around him. She cocked her head, as with all young yokai the boy seemed older then he looked.
"Welcome to the Higurashi shrine. How may I serve you today?" Kagome greeted cheerfully.
The man nodded slightly in greeting."We are ansewring your ad foe a room for rent."
"Ah, yes! There are two, available. If you would like we can disguss this inside."
The man nodded and he and the boy follwed her into the house. They say at the kitchen table as Kagome explained the house rules, Rent, and asked them both questions. She found out they where waderers, martial artists and the elder was named Yomi and the younger, Shura. In the end both males decided to stay. Tha was a month ago.
Kagome watched as Yomi and Shura sparred. Mostly she watched Yomi, he seemed familiar. Of course may of had to do with how attractive he was.
"What's going on here?" Someone inquired from beside her.
"Hey Souta, Yomi and Shura are sparring." She explained.
"Oh.. Who are they?" He asked
"They are my boarders." She explained
"Oh, is that why your drooling at the tall one?" Souta teased.
Kagome blushed. "I am not drooling! How are your studies going?" She asked.
"Going great!"
"That's good, How is mama?"
"Dating. Working. Enjoying her new apartment even though it's the size of a walk in closet."
"I'm glad she's happy."
Yomi and Shura had stopped practicing and where walking towards the siblings. Kagome handed them some bottled water and Souta introduced himself. Souta stayed for supper then left for his girlfriends house. After he left Yomi approached her while she was washing the dishes.
"Miss Higurashi I spoke with your brother earlier when you where making dinner." He explained. "I asked his permission to court you."
Kagome nearly dropped the plate she was washing.
"What?" She asked.
"He said it was up to you. Will you allow me to persue you?" Yomi asked.
Kagome stared at him stunned. Yomi tilted his head and out the corner of her eye she could see Shura watching expectantly. "A-Alright." She agreed blushing deeply.

Short chapter I know. It took me a while to figure out what to write and I'm still not satisfied. Now I just need to figure out some youkai courtship behavior.
