The news came storming through the webs of information and the fear that everyone emitted around him like a wildfire. He could see the smoke before he knew what was going on, and before ten minutes were up, Mukuro stood across from him in the large training dome, her arms crossed over her chest, glaring. "It's pointless Hiei! I know you're not really dating that girl. You haven't had sex since you've been here and you barely talk to one another once you're home! The most you talk about is dinner. If you were really a couple it'd be hard to separate your faces long enough for you to get any work done around here."

"I have more control than that Mukuro," Hiei squared off against her, and once she showed a ready position, he lunged. She blocked his sword with her metal arm, but that didn't stop their conversation. She parried nearly landing a punch on his stomach, and he ricocheted his sword from her arm up towards her chest. She limbo-ed out of the attack and re-stepped taking a kick at his stomach. The two continued their conversational fighting until Mukuro kicked him across the room.

Hiei pushed himself up, glaring at her, but didn't say a thing. She'd come up with a good enough distraction that he knew just by her body language she'd been doing something that he should have recognized, and would have if he was actually in a relationship, but didn't.

Vena chuckled from her spot, "You know, a relationship can just be each other's company, right?" She asked Mukuro, making her way over to Hiei to brush him off.

"That's not what he implied when you first came here," Mukuro growled glaring at the woman. "Shut up, this is between me and Hiei."

"Oh just go away." Vena waved her off, "You're such a nuisance. Really, don't you have better things to be doing?"

"The better things I have to do are not going to stop me from making Hiei see exactly how much danger he's put himself in! You're a threat to the safety of my city, shadow demon."

"I'm only a danger if you threaten me." Vena snapped, "Now stop being a fly and go do what you're good at."

"Hiei, if you really want to prove you're dating her, then kiss her, here and now." Mukuro pointed at Vena, her other hand on her hip.

Hiei sighed and shook his head, "I'm not dating her Mukuro. Not really, but that doesn't mean I won't if you keep acting like an idiot. Despite your attempts to break us up, it hasn't worked. I enjoy Vena's company and I am not going to give it up just because you know we're not dating."

Vena sighed heavily, "Well then."

"You're not leaving yet," Hiei caught her arm. "I told her that because there doesn't need to be cloak and dagger about this. Vena, will you start a relationship with me? Will you date me?"

Mukuro opened her mouth to say something but Hiei shot a glare at her and the woman paused, waiting to hear what Vena had to say.

"Of course I will Hiei." Vena smiled, "You're a nice man and I enjoy your company."

"And you mean that for real, not, not as a part of what I hired you to do?"

She nodded, "Yeah."

"Good. I'd like that." He took her hands in his and leaned forward partway inviting her to kiss him. Vena kissed him square on the lips and stepped closer to press up against him.

Hiei flushed and stepped back again, sheepish.

Mukuro relaxed seeing that and stepped away. She sighed and left the two of them to their own devices.

Hiei stared at her, confused. Somehow it felt different having her press up against him now, different than before. Before, when they'd slept, she'd cuddle up to him and he'd felt like a log, or a stone, just letting her lounge as she would choose to. Now, knowing what he did about her emotions, it changed things. His lips tingled to be separated from hers.

Vena laughed and shook her head, "You're adorable Firefly."

"I am not a Firefly." He liked Dragon better. "Nor am I adorable."

"Nah? Fine then my mighty sexy Dragon." She offered with a wide grin.

Hiei smirked and pressed their lips together in reward. "Much better."

She gave him a few quick kisses on the lip before she kissed his nose, "Yeah?"

"Yes." Hiei wiped his nose off.

She poked him in the stomach gently, "I'm glad."

"Glad? You're glad I'm not some weakling who likes being called Firefly?"

"Yeah."

"Hn. Let's go back to my quarters." He looked about the room checking to make sure Mukuro actually had left. He decided she did.

"Oh, fancy," She grinned, and poked him again before bolting off.

Hiei chased after her, shaking his head. When she actually decided to run somewhere, she wasn't fast, but her abilities gave her the upper hand because she could slip into shadows in one place, and out of them in another. He often had to guess where she was aiming to win their races, but this time, he knew, so he made quick work of the area and got back to his room in record time, mindful to be gentle on his feet.

When he made it to his room Vena was lounging on her stomach, laid out on the bed with her feet in the air and her hands under her chin. She chuckled, "That was quick."

"Hn." He pulled off his cloak and shed his scarf to get rid of some of the heat he felt built up from his run.

"So what're we doing now Dragon?"

"Now we're more comfortable if you decide to get touchy."

She smirked, "You want to get touchy?"

"That's not what I said, I said if you decide you want to lay against me and rub your hands all over the place like you sometimes do, then I'm not going to be avoiding you."

She curled a finger in a 'come here' motion and rolled onto her back, looking up at him upside down.

Hiei came over and leaned over her with a hand on either side of her face staring down at her. "Well?"

Vena rolled over and sat up to wrap her arms around him and kiss him, "Well?" She repeated. Hiei crawled onto the bed straddling her legs and leaned over her until she was forced to lay back again, their lips pressed together as he moved her about. He ghosted his hand over her side, his muscles trembling to touch her, but he didn't want to hurt her, and he wouldn't, if he could help it. He would be gentle to ensure he didn't hurt her, ever, even though gentle wasn't his nature.

Vena chuckled against his lips and pulled back for a moment to breath, "Good god Hiei, I didn't think you had this in you."

Hiei frowned and looked around the room, then back at her, confused. He couldn't figure out what she was talking about. He sat up to see if he'd accidentally broken her leg or something, but even those looked fine. She looked completely fine. He touched her ribs making sure they weren't hurt, and then got off of her to check her hips.

"I'm not hurt silly, come back." She grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him forward making him fall forward onto her. He caught himself on the bed and carefully positioned himself back over her, gentle with his motions, and slow. "You just don't seem like the gentle type."

"You won't be hurt because of me." He ghosted their lips together.

"Yeah?" She kissed him gently, rubbing her hands up his arms."That's good to hear."

Hiei felt pressure on his inner thigh as she tried to move her leg and shifted to accommodate her focusing on her hands, unsure what to make of them. He caught her eyes when she slipped her leg out from between his, and the other soon followed.

Vena wrapped her legs loosely around his waist and sighed, "So, Dragon, now that you have me all to yourself, what are you going to do?"

"No idea," All he could do was be honest about it. He didn't know where to go with this, and she probably did, so it would be best to just let her do what she wanted to do.

"Really?" Vena chuckled and tugged on his arms, "Just come down and kiss me then."

"Kiss you? Is that all you want?"

"It's not all that I want." She shrugged.

"It's not?" Hiei rolled over pulling her up on top yawning.

"Nope. But I want you to guess."

"Guess? Okay. I'm going to guess that you want to..." He had to consider it. If she didn't just want kisses, and they'd already been snuggling, then chances were it was something more than those two things in a relationship. The longer he thought about it, the more likely it seemed like she'd want to sleep with him, but he wasn't ready for that yet. "Play a game."

"Not what I had in mind."

"Write sappy things to one another?"

"Not really."

"Well then, I'm all out of ideas."

"Tch," she rolled her eyes, "Really?"

"We just started this dating thing. It'd be awkward to get intimate so quickly."

"You think so?"

"You don't?" His suspicions were correct.

"No not really, doesn't seem too awkward."

"Hn." He sighed, "Perhaps it's because I'm not usually intimate."

"Probably."

"Are you absolutely sure you weren't thinking about a game?" Hiei smirked and reached up stroking her cheek.

"The only game I was thinking about was a love game."

"I know a few of those."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. One is quite a challenge to win."

"Don't think too much," she chuckled. She squirmed a bit to sit up on his lap, "Really they're the best games."

"No, this would require quite a bit of thinking. It's a game of flirting. See who can out-flirt the other."

"Not the game I was really thinking of," she shifted her weight a little, pressing down with her hips.

Hiei winced and frowned, not exactly sure what she was trying, but he didn't approve so far. Her weight was on his crotch and he had to shift his hips to avoid too much pressure.

"Sorry, did that hurt?"

"It could've."

"Could've?" She shifted and leaned down, kissing him gently.

"Yeah." He kissed her back. Vena rolled them over and settled down for kisses.


The knock on the front door was loud enough to startle Kane when she heard it. It wasn't the first time someone had knocked, but the person was a lot more determined than all the others. She pushed out her energy, searching for whomever it was, and found herself puzzled. It was Shiori. Kurama had left for a lunch with Kazuya, so she didn't understand why Shiori would be at his house.

"Kane!" She knocked again.

That answered it. Apparently Shiori knew she was staying here. Kane didn't relish the idea of confirming that belief, but she wasn't going to stop Shiori from finding out if she already knew. She'd called her by name. There was nothing else for it. Kane crossed to the door and pulled it open, her ears back, and tail lax. "Hello Shiori."

"Kane, I want to know what's going on with my son." Shiori stepped inside and traded shoes for slippers following Kane as she backed up.

Kane wasn't sure what to say in response. It was true that Kurama wasn't being honest with the woman, but it wasn't her place to explain that to her, and it certainly wasn't her place to reveal it. "I-I'm not sure what you mean." Kane mentally scolded herself for stuttering. She needed to be calm, collected, resilient. This couldn't frighten her. Shiori needed to believe her.

The mom in the woman came out. Her hands attached to her hips like they were making a tea-pot and that tea-pot was about to boil. "Don't you start with me Kane. I know you know something about my son that you're not sharing. He's dropped more than a few hints on accident that you do with the way he looks at you when he's waiting to see if you'll rat him out. Now you either tell me, or I'll force it out of you."

She almost laughed, "Force it out of me?"

"Yes! Don't think I don't know what you've been up to in that lab. If you want to continue your experiments on my son you have got to tell me about my child!"

Kane stiffened. "Kokota volunteered."

"And he can un-volunteer just as quickly!" Shiori stepped forward pointing at Kane, shaking her finger. "Now you tell me what I want to know or I'll be forced to manage this situation." She crossed her arms over her chest and stared down her nose at the taller woman. "I'm going to find out one way or another. It might as well be from someone on his side. I've been doing some research and what I've found is not making me happy."

"Re-research?" That startled her. She wasn't sure where Shiori was doing research, but if it was upsetting her then maybe it would be better if she helped. Maybe she could mitigate the damage if she just came forward about him and steer the woman away from damaging information. Kurama had enough problems going on without that. Plus, she wanted to keep her lab help. It had been lonely without him.

"Yes! Research! Now is my son a demon or not!"

Kane shook her head, "N-no, he's not. I didn't lie to you about that."

"But you didn't tell me the whole truth now did you? How is my son connected with the demon Kurama?"

Kane stiffened. She really didn't want to lie to this woman. She respected Shiori, even enjoyed her company. The banter she'd had with Kazuya had always been best when Shiori was adding her two cents in and to lose that would be to lose a dear friend. "Shiori, please, you have to understand. If your son wanted you to know then he'd tell you himself."

"He doesn't want me to know, but I need to know. I'm his mother! I have every right to know who and what my son is."

Kane sighed, and deflated, "Shiori, don't make me answer this. It's, it's not going to be easy to explain and if I do it wrong, it will seem like I was lying to you until you understand and I don't know how long Shuichi's actually going to be gone for."

Shiori sighed as well and crossed to the window staring out of it. She folded her arms behind her back, and just stared for nearly a minute.

Kane approached slowly, unsure what to make of the reclusive behavior. "Please, I don't want to lose your friendship."

"Kane, I have been living with my son, loving him, for nearly thirty years. He is my pride, my joy, and he has my deepest affection. All I ask in return is that I understand him, and he denies me that right. He pushes me away from who he's become, and just, just acts, like this son who never does anything wrong. I never see him hurting, I never hear about his concerns. He's always, distant. He keeps me at arm's reach and frankly, I'm sick of it. I deserve better than that. I deserve to know who my son is, and what he is capable of."

Kane couldn't disagree. She didn't want to, but she couldn't.

"Please, I don't want to hamper your work, but if you don't tell me what I want to know, today, now, then I will ask Kokota to abandon his work with you." Shiori turned, looking frail and tired.

Kane sighed, "Alright fine. I see you leave me very little choice in the matter. Your son's body is human, that much is true. He is, in his body functions, human, so it's possible to qualify him like that, but,"

"But?" Shiori crossed to the sofa and sat on the edge.

"But he's not just human."

"He's part demon?"

"It's not a part, thing, it's more like his soul is a demon and his body is a human, so he's a demon in a human body, full demon, full human." Kane explained. "I have no doubt that the man in your son's body is the one you gave birth to, the one you raised, the one who's been your perfect son, but, he's-he's not, just, a perfect son. Shuichi is Kurama, in name. He is the one behind the legend that scared my scientist half to death, but, he's not that person anymore. He's changed, and grown. He's developed into the man that you know, Shuichi."

"You're sure he's not possessed by a demon?"

"I'm sure. If he had been possessing the body, then it would have started to decay, but that's not the case. Instead, the body he has is mutated to better match his demon energy, although that doesn't make it a demon's body."


Kurama shuffled up to his door and dug through his pocket, dragging his key out. He stepped inside and blinked a few times when he made it a foot in, "Mother? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, Shuichi, welcome home." Shiori smiled and came over to pull him into a hug. "Did you have a good time with Kazuya?"

"Yes, we had a nice lunch." He smiled, hugging her tightly.

Kane slipped into his view, her ears down, feet light, and eyes on the ground. She held her tail in her hands and wouldn't look him in the eyes. Something was wrong.

Kurama frowned, "Is something going on?"

"I'm sorry Shuichi, she ambushed me."

"Ambushed you?" He laughed, "That seems unlikely."

"Oh, I can be very persuasive when I want to be." Shiori smiled. "Don't worry Kane. It doesn't matter what I know, I will always love him."

"Wait, what?" Kurama pulled back from her, startled.

"Honey," Shiori stared after him, "It's alright. Come sit down with us." Kane retreated into the living room.

Kurama frowned, "Alright." He led Shiori to the couch and took a seat in his recliner.

"Now Shuichi, I need you to understand that no matter what you've done, or who you've been, or what you are, I love you. My love for you is unconditional and it always will be. It's just how mothers are. We don't get a choice about loving our children unless something goes wrong with us, and I wouldn't have it any other way."

Kurama frowned deeper and crossed his arms, "What's the point?"

"She knows you're Kurama." Kane whispered.

His eyes darted to her and settled into a glare.

Kane shivered and crossed to the window folding her arms around her stomach.

"Oh it's not her fault. Look, I found out that you were Kurama well before she told me. I just, I needed someone who knew you to explain how my son was two people at once. She did a wonderful job explaining it to me in a way that made sense, and helped me understand what happened without the fear-mongering most information about demons has in the library."

Kurama sighed and got up, removing his jacket to put in the closet, silent. He didn't know what to say to that.

"Before I came here Shuichi, I thought that maybe you'd been possessed, but it just didn't seem right. You're my son and I love you and the way you acted when you were young makes sense now, and those strange friends of yours. I just, I needed to know the truth."

"Well, you don't have half the truth really Mother." Kurama hung his jacket up and closed the door slowly.

"Then how about you finish it off."

"You know what I did with Yusuke and them?" He questioned quietly.

"As a Spirit Detective? Yes. She informed me that you saved the world multiple times, and we even had time to go over how."

"I wasn't a spirit detective." He shook his head.

"No, you weren't. Only humans can be Spirit Detectives. Yusuke was the Spirit Detective."

"You remember how I told you Hiei nearly chopped me in half?"

Shiori frowned and studied him closer. "Yes, I remember."

Kurama unbuttoned his shirt slowly and took it off, approaching Shiori, "Well, he did stab me through."

Shiori gasped, "Oh!" She covered her mouth with her hands staring at the flickers of past scars that tattooed his body.

"There are more on my legs, but, I tend to get hurt on my stomach." He chuckled and sighed, "You see these round ones?"

"Shuichi, there's no need to be so dramatic," Kane whispered, eyeing his wounds herself.

Kurama glared at her, but went back to looking at Shiori, "They're from explosions. I didn't just go out for lunch or anything with Yusuke, we were fighting. Life and death."

Shiori's eyes teared up and she launched herself forward pulling Kurama into a tight hug, "Oh my poor, poor, boy."

He sighed, "I never told you because I knew you'd be upset. I almost died a few times Mother. I don't know if Kane told you, but I almost killed myself for your life."

She leaned back, holding his shoulders tight, staring him in the eyes. "You are never to do anything like that again, do you understand? My life is my life and if I'm going to die then so be it but you will not die in my place!"

"Well, I'm the reason you're standing here, well," he frowned, "Yusuke is. Yusuke stopped me."

"And I assure you when I'm done with you here I'm going to go buy him the biggest thank you gift I can find, but right now, right here, I want you to promise me that you will never sacrifice yourself for me again. Am I clear young man?"

"I'm sorry Mother, I can't promise that." He smiled softly, sighing.

Shiori's fury grew, but Kane touched her arm, "Shiori, I understand you want him to live and let life happen, but living in our world is so much different than yours that, gambling your life just, isn't that odd. He's got it down to a science or he wouldn't still be alive."

"I must admit some of it was luck, like Yusuke." Kurama sighed, "Thank god he stopped me."

"Yes, well I never really filled her in completely on that," Kane sighed. "I just said that she owed her life to you. I think she put some of the rest of it together on her own."

"I don't care if it's a science or not! I do not want my son dying so I may live."

"Shiori, you're never going to get that promise out of him." Kane sighed.

"Do you know how old I am Mother?"

"Kane said you were… well, she said you were old."

"Three thousand." He sighed, "Three thousand and about seven hundred. Approximately. I've lived so many human lifetimes," he smiled, "Kane is right, you'll never get that promise out of me. I'd rather have you alive and me dead than you dead and me alive. I know, that when you die, I'm going to be a mess." He sighed, his face contorting in pain, "I'll probably end up a drunk man for a few centuries, probably have Hiei drag me around to actually do things." He shook his head and wrapped his arms around her, squeezing her tightly, "But I don't want to think about that Mother. You've changed me so much. You showed me what love is and I can never thank you enough for that, really. I made a sort of promise to myself awhile ago, when I was a teenager, that I wouldn't go back to my old life, I'd embrace this one. I'm sorry if I've upset you, showing you all my scars, but I lied to you so much, I hid so many bloody clothes, so many tears, I wanted to show you, and just get it out." He pressed his face into her shoulder, feeling tears well up in his eyes. He sniffed and squeezed her tighter, gentle, but still tight.

Shiori cradled him and rubbed his back rocking soothingly. "It's alright Shuichi, I love you. I'll always love you, I just don't want to think about my baby dying before me."

"Yeah, that's not a good thing to think about."

"No, it's not." She sighed heavily and leaned back holding his shoulders. "But you, you have so much to tell me."

"I do. D-do you want to see me Mother?"

"I want to hear about you. Kane didn't fill in all the details. All she could do was give me broad spectrum answers."

"Just ask away."

Shiori and Kurama didn't notice Kane sneak away, or the next three hours. It wasn't until Kane brought out water glasses and something to eat for them that either realized how much time had actually passed. That was when Shiori finally decided it was time to go home, for the third time, and actually made it out the door. Kurama finally shut the door to his mother, and turned to find Kane leaning against the kitchen door.

"I hope you understand what you did Kane." Kurama leaned against the door himself.

"I overstepped myself, I know."

"I don't think overstepped is the right term."

Kane's ears fell back. She followed his eyes, not backing down from his challenge, or his words, but definitely not admitting anything.

"I want to know why you gave into her demands."

"She was threatening my work here and I've been trained in combat, not diplomacy."

"So you tell her about me? You know what I am possible of Kane." He didn't want to think about it, but if she kept this up he was going to have to stop it. Though she'd probably shared everything she knew.

Kane sighed and folded her arms over her chest, staring at him, her tail swishing, "I'm not in the habit of taking threats Kurama."

"No, but you should not be in the habit of sharing my personal information either."

"What I shared with that woman was not personal information, it was common knowledge."

"I don't care what you consider it. I don't. All I'm concerned about is why the hell you think it's okay to share info you know I do not want shared."

"Shiori convinced me to share information with her because she was researching and collecting information on her own. She already knew most of what I told her, but not in a clean, gentle way, and it was scaring her. She came to me as a mother, asking about her child, and no, I didn't want to share it with her, and yes, I was convinced, but you better damn well know that I would not have shared that information lightly!"

"She convinced you by threatening your job. That's all that is. You know what I can threaten."

Kane glared at him, "She is your mother, Kurama. I didn't share things that weren't common knowledge. I made sense of things that she was finding out already."

He glared back at her, "I don't care what you think you shared. I don't. I could have done that without you telling her. You have no place to talk about those things to my Mother. Remember whose territory you're in vixen."

"And you remember who didn't send some stupid low class demon but came herself to prevent the whole company finding out about you!" Kane stepped up to him, growling. "In case you've forgotten, your mother came to me! I didn't volunteer this information, she came here seeking it, and she's more than just your mother, she's my friend as well!"

"You told her! The hell you 'didn't' volunteer the information! You could have stayed silent! Apparently you haven't had enough fear whipped into you!" He growled, raising his energy.

"I am not some pawn you can manipulate with fear!"

"You'll be scared when I rip you apart limb from limb! If you ever, ever, do anything like this again, I will find you, and I will punish you."

"You won't have to find me, I live in your house! In case you've forgotten, I'm a spirit fox! You rip me limb from limb I'll just become my true self and you'll be screwed!"

"Not if I have a special little friend of mine spirit gun you into nothing!"

Kane smirked and stared at his crotch, consideringly, then shook her head. "I don't think your penis has that power, sorry Fox. You're naught for naught."

Kurama rolled his eyes, "You're stepping on dangerous ground. I can burn you alive,"

"Oh my god Kurama, give it a rest. Your mother, my friend, came to me, threatened my work, made several, very, very compelling arguments, and in the end, told me she already knew what I was going to tell her, and that she'd go searching out the answers elsewhere if I didn't tell her. Instead of letting her go find some random demon who wasn't going to give her the edited version, I told her myself and guess what, it turned out fine!"

"I'm not going to give it a rest!" He shouted at her, "I don't give a shit if she threatened your work or anything else, you do not share information I do not want shared!"

"Yes! I do! I'm my own person and if you can't handle me then I'll leave and you can explain to your step-father why my company pulled out of the deal!" She jutted out a hip and stared at him defiantly.

"I don't think I'm going to let you leave." He could feel the frustration boiling in his stomach and he was tempted to lash out like Yusuke might've and punched the wall, but he wasn't in the mood to fix that.

"You're being very indecisive about something that turned out fine."

"I don't like people sharing my information! That was not yours to tell!"

"Well what were you going to do? Hunt down the entire population of Demon World and chain their mouths shut if Shiori went asking? You know her next stop was the Demon Ambassador's Office, and from there, when she didn't get answers, she was just going to go asking random people who she thought might be demons. She knows another demon Kurama, I don't know who it is, but someone was sharing information with her, and how to get that information and it wasn't us."

"I don't want you sharing information about me with my mother."

"And I don't want to, but she was not giving me a choice. Kurama, she knew you weren't a normal human. She knew you were related to Kurama directly. Hell, she even knew you were in the Dark Tournament as Kurama, and that you were in the Demon World Tournament, and that you were the former advisor for Yomi. She just didn't know why, or how, you got the name Kurama, and why you were doing those things. She thought that you'd gone mentally ill."

"You will not ever, ever answer any of her questions about me again Kane."

Kane sighed heavily, "Really? Come on Kurama, that's just low."

"No, I don't care if it's low. I don't care if it's stupid. You're going to do as I say."

"What's making you be such a domineering ass? Are you really that out of control?"

Kurama rolled his eyes, "I let a pretty vixen get into my territory."

"Fine, then I'll leave. I don't mind." Kane started for the front door.

"No, you're staying."

"I'm not your property Kurama, I can leave if I want to." She growled up at him, her hand reaching past him for the handle.

Kurama slapped her hand, but she didn't pull away, "You're staying here."

"You're not my boss," Kane growled, holding the handle firm.

Kurama leaned back against the door, "You're staying."

"So what am I now, your prisoner? Maybe slave would be a more appropriate term," she growled up at him, her hand on his side, threatening.

"You don't scare me Kane. You're surrounded by my plants."

"I'm a fox too. I might not be as good as you are at plant manipulation but I can and I will stop them from hurting me."

"Not if I can help it."

"You can't. They come within a foot of me, and I'll be able to control them despite your best attempts."

"Not if you're unconscious."

"Kurama, this is ridiculous! Listen to yourself! You're overreacting."

"Of course I'm overreacting! Now get your filthy paw off me or so help me I'm going to knock you unconscious."

"Let me out!" She shoved against his side sending an energy pulse behind her hand to help push him away.

Kurama smacked her upside the head and shoved her back with his foot. Kane punched his inner knee and threw a second one at his head in retaliation. Kurama caught the blow to his head, using his weight to shove her down to the floor.

Kane used his hand, and the weight he put into his foot, to roll and use his momentum to send him into the floor as well, twisting their positions so she was on top, holding his wrist.

Kurama gave up struggling and sighed heavily, "What the hell am I doing Kane?"

She backed off when she realized he wasn't fighting her, and left.
