Your pov: The next few had been a little hectic to say the least.
You had met Yusuke, Kuwabara, Shizura, Yukina, Genkai, and of course Botan.
When you had found out that Yusuke had been the one who broke Keiko's heart you shocked and surprised everyone. You took the cigarette that Shizura had been smoking and put it out on Yusuke's chest.
All you said to him after that was 'thats about how you made my cousin feel, pay back is bitch isn't it?'.
Kuwabara you had no problem with. Sure he was stupid and extremely ugly, but he was a sweet guy. Not like you'd date him, but he was an okay friend.
Yukina was an extremely sweet koorime(ice maiden), and she befriended you pretty quick.
Shizura had a tough guy personality but she was nice so it didn't bother you. She had commented on how Yusuke deserved the cigarette and thought your style of dealing with him was great.
Botan was utterly terrified of you and way to perky for her own good. You found out later that she was now Yusuke's girlfriend. You didn't shun her for it. Yusuke was the one who had hurt Keiko, not Botan.
Then there was Genkai. She said your methods were crude but otherwise effective. You liked Genkai. She was wise with a sharp attitude, but she knew a lot of mythology.
You were currently staying over at Shizura's house with all the other girls while the boys were away on a mission. Botan was with them as back up. The rest of you were playing cards while you waited for them to get back.
Since Kuronue wasn't a part of that team and hadn't really been introduced to the boys you occasionally saw him. Shizura and Yukina knew him but promised not to tell anyone until it was time.
"I win." That was the third time Keiko had won.
"Talk about card skills."
Koenma suddenly pops out of nowhere scaring the shit out of everyone.
"Guys!" All of you with the exception of Yukina glare at the to be king of the underworld.
"I need you guys to do me a huge favor!!"
"Um ... we can't help if we don't have an idea what you need us to do." Keiko nods in agreement.
Koenma holds out a video tape.
"I need you to deliver this to Kuronue." You take the tape and shrug.
"Well where does he live?" Shizura seems a little annoyed.
"Why don't you deliver it to him yourself binky breath?" Koenma sweat drops and rubs the back of his neck.
"Well you see Kuronue didn't like me popping up out of nowhere so he put wards up so we couldn't get through. I would ask a ferry girl to do it, but we're running behind on schedule with Botan away." You nod.
"Okay ... the address would be helpful." Keiko gets up and pulls on her coat. Koenma scribbles the address down on a scrap of paper and hands it to you.
"There! It might take a while to wake him up since he's a koumori youkai(bat demon), but you shouldn't have any other trouble than that." You nod and snag a bag to carry the tape in.
You turn to Shizura and Yukina.
"Are you two coming or staying?" Yukina stands up and Shizura lets out an exasperated sigh before also getting to her feet.
All of you leave the house and start down the street. Shizura snags the paper and looks at the address.
"I know where that is. He's not that far from here, follow me."
Shizura leads you little group to an apartment building after going to the top floor you go down the hall and stop at what you assumed was Kuronue's apartment.
Shizura rings the doorbell. After a few tries she starts to get extremely annoyed.
"Come on dude, how can you sleep through this?" She starts pounding on the door after a while. Everyone else backs away a little. Finally Kuronue pokes his head out the door with an aggravated tired look on his face.
"What the hell are you doing here?" You offer him the bag.
"Special delivery, from Koenma." Kuronue takes the bag.
"Well since I'm awake you may as well come in." He holds the door open a bit. All four of you enter what you assume must be the living room.
Kuronue had a sheet wrapped around his hips and from what anyone in your group could tell, probably not much else. He sets the tape down on the coffee table and sits down in the big over stuffed chair.
"Sorry but I'm not used to having company and I'm not really even supposed to be up. I'm not really sure how to be hospitable per say." You nod. "Thats alright, sorry we had to wake you up but from how Koenma was acting we assumed it must have been important."
Kuronue laughs. "Don't worry about it. Eh ... anyone want a drink? I have fruit juice and water." All of you shake your heads. Shizura looks around.
"Nice place you have here." Kuronue shrugs.
"This is what you can afford as an underworld detective. I must say, being a thief paid better." Yukina looks about.
"Kuronue? I though bats only lived in dark places." Kuronue shrugs.
"We're nocturnal, we just need a dark sheltered place to sleep." Shizura snickers.
"Winter must be really hard, most bats hibernate then." He shakes his head.
"A seasonal hibernation is something that only happens with the more minor bat demons, or your smaller mortal varieties. Now can we please stop with the bat questions?"
"Cut them a little slack Kuronue, they have probably never even seen a bat demon." He grumbles.
"Maybe when I'm more awake. Why don't you guys scoot home now. I need to get what ever this mission is done then go back to sleep." You nod and leave the koumori youkai so he can wake up.
When you get back the guys have returned from their mission.
"Where have you guys been?! We almost had a heart attack!" Keiko starts to answer.
"Calm down we just went over to Kuro-" You nudged her in the ribs. "The park! Yeah the park. You know, to take a walk ... smell flowers ...
and stuff like that!!" Hiei seems very disbelieving.
"Tell me onna(girl), who or what is 'Kuro'?"
"Shirogane's boyfriend, we met him at the park." You were beyond pissed.
"It's not like that! He's just a friend!!" Now your story was quite believable. Yusuke is skeptical now.
"I didn't know Shirogane had a boyfriend. She's only been here what? Four five days?" You snarl.
"For the last time he's not a my boyfriend!"
"Ooo Shirogane has a boyfriend!!" Yusuke starts to taunt you. Kurama knowing exactly who you were talking about clears his throat.
"Actually Yusuke, I know who their talking about. Somehow a seriously doubt he'd get involved in a relationship like that so soon." Yusuke seems a little shocked.
"You really know him Kurama? Considering that Hiei is also one of your friends I wonder if he's short and foul tempered." Hiei growls.
The door bell rings and Kuwabara offers to get it. A few seconds later he runs into the room and dives behind Hiei.
"It's a ghost!!" Botan rolls her eyes and goes to check, she returns a few minutes later with Kuronue behind her.
"It's Kuronue. Koenma said he'd be by today." Kuronue looks extremely foul tempered and tired. Kurama is confused.
"I thought you were nocturnal Kuronue." Kuronue growls.
"That damn toddler woke me up early to here to meet you guys." Kuronue shoves the tape from earlier into Yusuke's chest.
Koenma pops up right as Kuronue said that and now the koumori youkai looked ready to throttle him.
"Good morning Kuronue. I see you got my message." Kuronue grins and cracks his knuckles.
"I got the message. I ought to shove it up your ass to." Koenma laughs innocently.
"Don't worry Kuronue this is probably one of the last times I'll have to wake you up. Now it will all be Yusuke and as long as you don't kill him it doesn't matter if you kill him." Yusuke seemed offended.
"Hey!! What do you mean by that!?" Koenma shrugs.
"Back to business. I want you all to meet Kuronue. Kuronue this is Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara, and you already know Kurama. Since you know everyone else we won't go into that. Kuronue is going to be the fifth member of the team." Kuronue snorts.
"You want me to team up with a bunch of day people? Koenma I think your hat is too tight for your own health." Koenma laughs.
"I'm quite serious Kuronue. This team needs all the help they can get up against some of the big criminals and even more help in the tournaments. They may have Youko, but Youko is in a human body now. Another demon on the team would probably help."
"Koenma..." The toddler vanishes.
"Look on the bright side Kuronue, at least your working with your old partner in crime." Botan was just too much cheer than people like Kuronue needed.
The koumori youkai sits down then falls over on his side. Kuwabara squeaks at the sudden movement. Kurama investigates.
"He's just asleep. He'll wake up the second the sun drops below the horizon though." You look at Kuronue for a moment.
"He's going to be extremely uncomfortable when he wakes up." Kurama shrugs.
"He'll get over it, I'm going home for the night. See you guys later." He leaves.
Kuwabara shivers. "Since he's a bat, do you think he's a vampire?" You shake your head.
"Vampire bats aren't the only type of bat and no way is he one of those."
"Why not?"
" Vampire bats are hideous little shits! The have huge ears, upturned noses, and go to the bathroom while their eating(actual fact)." Kuwabara twists in disgust.
"Really?! Thats gross!!"
"I'm will to bet Kuronue is some type of fruit bat, or maybe he eats bugs..." Kuwabara shivers.
"I hope he digs fruit, cause man I can't see him eating flies." He pauses then shudders at the mental image he himself created.
Later:
You were on your way home, it was dark and this made you a little nervous. You walk close to your cousin.
After your little run in with that nasty creature in the park you were a little jumpy come night time.
Nothing happened though.
When you got home with Keiko you both had supper and then went upstairs to get ready for bed. You had a bath and pulled on your pajamas.
You were sitting on your bed humming softly as you working your fingers through your still damp hair.
A loud 'whump' at the window makes you jump. You look at the window.
An odd black furry bird like creature was slowly sliding down your window with little swirls in the eyes.
It probably hit its head pretty hard colliding with your window.
You slowly open the window and carefully peel the poor thing off your window.
It was about the size of your palm without its wings, but incredible soft and cute. Keiko walked into the room.
"Is something wrong Shirogane? I thought a heard something." You held up the unconscious little creature.
"It crashed into my window, I think its a bat." Keiko looks at the thing and shivers.
"Ew! That must be so cold and slimy!!" You shook your head.
"Actually its not. It rather warm and fuzzy, kinda cute to." She inches closer and peers at it. After a few minutes she gets the nerve to gently poke it. Then she carefully takes it from you.
"...Aww its so cute! Your right, it isn't cold and slimy." She snuggle the bitty bat. You take the bat back.
"Do you think we should tell your parents about it?" Keiko shakes her head rapidly.
"They'd call animal control."
"Pree?" The bat was awake now and looking around in confusion.
Both you and your cousin can't stop yourselves from going 'aww' the little thing was so cute it was almost unreal.
Keiko suggested giving the bat a bath since he had been outside and might have fleas. after agreeing both of you snuck the bat into the bathroom and ran a warm bath for it in the bathroom sink.
It didn't seem to like the bath but tolerated it well enough and you were sure it was blushing while you dried it with a towel.
Kuronue's pov Near Dawn:
You flew back toward home. Kurama had instructed you to watch over Keiko and Shirogane during the night.
You had planned to stay unnoticed. Being in your small bat form though your eyesight wasn't the best and Shirogane's window was clearer than you had thought.
It had worked out exceedingly well though, except now you smelled like womens shampoo and conditioner. It had been lavender vanilla, now you just wanted a shower and sleep.
You fly through you partially open window and change into your human form.
You saunter into your room and grab a pair of sweat pants before heading for your bathroom. Kurama was siting on your couch.
"Huh, why are you here at this time?" He shrugged.
"Its going to be a school day, so I just got up a little early to pay you a visit." He looks you over.
"Still running around in the nude? I thought you had grown out of that." You scowl.
"Shut up, you know damn well my clothes don't stay when I transform into any version of my true form." Kurama had changed into Youko.
"I know, I was just teasing. By the way, since when did you start smelling like a girl? Wait a minute ... this is Shirogane's scent. You didn't-" You had to cut him off.
"No! They found me when I got there. I was in my smallest form. They decided I needed a bath." Youko laughs.
"I envy you! Bathed by two beautiful women." You snort.
"There's nothing to envy. They were both dressed, and I was bathed in a bathroom sink." Youko laughs.
"Still, maybe I should watch them tomarrow. Maybe I could get a free bath." He wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. Youko was Youko, can't say anything more about that.
"They know your a silver fox, and you can't even look half as cute as me in your true form. You end up looking like a long furred rat with four bushy tails." Youko snarls.
"Well this 'rat' has a very sexy human form which you lack!."You laugh.
"Well this koumori makes up by being so much cuter in his animal form." Youko snorts.
"Pah! Whats cute compared a handsome face and seductive charm?" You snicker.
"Well my being cute earned me much more attention from Shirogane and Keiko than your seductive talents have." Youko's ears go back.
"...Damn you! ... Damn you to hell! Keiko isn't easy to seduce. I haven't tried my charm on Shirogane. Maybe I should." Grabbing a hand full of Youko's shirt you pull him out of his thoughts. The two of you were about the same height.
"Listen fox boy, you just stick to Keiko. Don't go putting your greedy little paws on every pretty girl you meet." Youko laughs.
"Is this you getting protective over a female? Most of the time you hardly spare a glance. Did you just discover the fact that you had a dick?" You shake your head and shove Youko away.
"A couple centuries and your still as bold as black on white." Youko grins.
"You didn't answer my question." You roll your eyes.
"I hope you do actually manage to get Keiko as your mate. Then maybe she'll beat you till your actually sensible, like you human half."
"Who said I was gonna make her my mate?" You grab his ear and twist.
"I think she's suffered enough heart break. Think about what will happen to you if Shirogane finds out you used her cousin as entertainment. Yusuke didn't go that far and look at the burn scar on his chest. Your human form may never have to worry about you ever again." Youko grins.
"I run, very fast and very far." You raise an eyebrow.
"Bounty hunters were after you for the reward. Shirogane would be after you to torture you within moments of your life before killing you. She seems to be a lot like Yomi when it comes to revenge." Youko pales.
"Eh ... I could kill her."
"Then you'll have me to worry about."
"But your my friend."
"Kill my to be mate, I'll skin you alive and use the bloody pelt to strangle what life is left in your bloody body out." Youko seemed a little frightened.
"Maybe I'll just leave the subject alone."
"Would be an idea." You were a little surprised that you had been so open about you emotions. Maybe it was just what human referred to as a crush, and maybe it would fade in time. You weren't sure.
"Well, Shuichi is angry with me now and demanding we get going. Maybe I'll drop be later." Youko turns back into Kurama. The redhead apologizes for Youko's behavior a he leaves.
You just nod and send him on his way before taking your shower and going to bed.
