"Hm…" the young ruler pushed a button on his intercom. "Botan, can you bring me the file on a fox demon named Moriko?" Koenma has a file on me.

Twisting around, the large double doors behind us opened, revealing a woman with cotton candy blue hair and bright bubble gum pink eyes. That took no time at all. Just how organized is the Spirit World, anyways? "Here you go, sir." The woman, Botan, handed him a decent sized manila folder, before standing to his left.

Koenma did not say anything more. Instead, he just opened the folder and spread the files out across his large desk. "There have been numerous sighting, by humans, of a fox fitting your description around Inari Shrines across Japan. Mostly notably at the Fushimi Inari-taisha."

"By human children, though. Human children are always so energetic when they spot me, in my animal form, by a statue or something. In most of those cases, the child had wondered away, searching for one of Inari's messengers, when they stumble upon me. Moreover, in very few cases did I take my demon form. I only entertained those children until their parents drew close, though, giving them a tiny story to tell." I shrugged, not really seeing a problem with it.

"I see… wait, what?!" he hollered, slamming his little fists done.

Rin silently snickered, finding this amusing. "I thought the Spirit World knew of kitsunes visiting Inari shines and being spotted by humans…" I stated blandly, getting back to my feet.

Kurama looked away, covering his mouth as he silently chuckled. "She is correct, Koenma."

"It is pretty common, isn't it? Given the habit that foxes are known tricksters, and there are shrines that are decorated with foxes, why wouldn't we be spotted hanging around, enjoying ourselves?" I questioned, looking at him.

He only shrugged. "I wonder that, myself. After all, the festivities are what really draw us in." I nodded in response.

"Oh yes! During those times, Father would take the form of a small child, just so the humans would buy him some sasamochi." I giggled, remembering the times I seen my father use that trick to get his favorite sweet.

Koenma coughed into his child-sized fist, drawing our attention back to him. He looked at little annoyed that we had decided to ignore him in favor of our own little conversation. "That still does not excuse you from showing your real form to humans!" He stated crossly. "You will be punished for that, along with the problems you have caused in the last week alone." He kept looking through my file, not taking notice of one of the sheets falling to the floor. I, for one, was not going to say anything about it, noticing an old picture of Father on it. That was the very last thing I needed; a prejudice sentence based on my father's past crimes. "Besides the common spirit fox-to-demon power of manipulating plants, what else are you good at?"

"Keeping children distracted? I am good at that." I stated in a friendly tone. Amusement clearly shown on the blue haired woman's face as she giggled, covering her mouth with her pastel pink kimono sleeve. "My main training has been centered on healing, as I am… was… my mother's successor. However, if used incorrectly, the knowledge I have on plants can be used as weapons. I am decent at hand-to-hand combat; know the very basics for sword fighting, and a fair strategist." No chance in Hell will I mention Father's special training I was put through. That was between him, Mother, and me.

"No need to be modest, now!" Yusuke grinned, not bothered that his hand still had blood on it. Untying my sash, I gave it to him to use to clean his hand off. He took it gratefully, rubbing away the blood. "She's a total badass, Koenma. No joke at all."

My face pinked slightly at his compliment. The young toddler seem to think over his Detective's words, staring at us both. If he had a beard, he would probably be stroking it at this second. "Taking into consideration that you have never once harmed/killed a human, I guess I can be lenient on your punishment." I wonder what he was getting at. "Furthermore, with your healing talents, you could be of use to this motley bunch. Gods know that one of them enjoys taking wounds to the gut." Kurama coughed awkwardly into his fist, looking away. "I'll provide everything that you'll need to live a nice comfortable life in the Human World with your siblings, as long as you agree to my conditions, is that clear?"

"Yes, sir."

"One, if you have any need to go back to the Makai, be it to restock up on supplies, you will inform me before doing so. Two, you will join these boys on any mission that I send them on. Three, you shall always, unless the situation calls for it, keep you and your siblings in human form. Lastly, four, you and your siblings must attend school and live like humans. I shall set it up so that you are attending Kurama's high school, while your siblings attend the elementary portion. Do you agree to these conditions that I have put in place?"

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, with that settled, we need to figure out what to do with the human child." Koenma drew all of our attention to the little girl who laid on the floor, groaning silently as she slowly came to.

Crouching down beside her, I gently pushed her soft light brown tresses behind her ears. "What's your name, little one?" I asked soothingly, hoping she did not react negatively towards my sharp claws.

"Momo…" she squeaked, sitting up. She ran her honey brown eyes from my clawed hand, up my arm, before resting pointedly on my ears. "Pretty…" she mumbled, reaching up to rub the tip of the left one. "It's so soft!"

"I'd hope so. I take pride in keeping my fur soft and silky." I could be as vain as any kitsune, being born of great beauty. It is probably the main reason I lived a very sheltered life, away from any available tods when I became of age. Soon, I was sitting cross-legged, the child sitting in my lap as I finger combed her hair. She was a bit on the skittish side when the boys drew close, huddling against my middle, making me cast them a disapproving look before they got the hint, stepping away. "What is your favorite flower, Momo?"

"Forget-me-nots." She replied innocently.

"Hmm… 'True love'…" I mused silently, quickly growing a few as I played with her soft hair. Removing the string I used to hold my own hair back, I pulled her light brown hair back to sit at the nape of her neck, tying it all together before making a small hair accessory out of the blue blossoms I had grown. With a bit of the information I coaxed out of her, Koenma was able to find her home, as I grew a yellow flower. Kurama stared at the flower warily, a flash of pain appearing deep in the depths of his emerald green eyes.

"What's that?" the orange haired teen asked. I still have yet to hear his or the crimson-eyed man's names, yet.

"I wouldn't get too close, if I were you. Unless you are fond of not remembering anything." He quickly backed away as Momo inhaled more of the pollen, falling into a peaceful sleep against my chest. "The longer someone smells it, the more it erases." I explained, gently rocking her small body. "When you awake, and are questioned by the authorities, you will tell them of the vile men who had stolen you from your loved ones, and that they looked like horrible monsters from a nightmare. No one will believe that they were real monsters; just that your child-like mind seen them as such. When they ask how you escaped, you will tell them that a small group risked their lives to free you, and that is all you remember…" Momo groaned softly, hiding her face deep into my neck. "She should be ready for you to take home." The yellow flower was, once again, a small seedling.

Shortly after, an orange ogre came in and gently picked the young girl up, taking her back to where she belonged. "Now that she's safe and secured, you may all go home."

"Finally!" Yusuke and the other teen groaned together, going through a portal. The crimson-eyed one shortly followed after, still as silent as Death itself.

Getting back to my feet, I gathered Miki in my arms, catching a set of keys that were tossed at me. All three were identical. "Three? What for?" Truthfully, we only needed two sets.

"Kurama gets the third set, so he can check on you whenever he wishes." Oh, well… that is understandable. I handed the mentioned redhead his spare, which he took with a small smile. Miki was dozing against my shoulder with her left thumb in her mouth. Seeing, as we will be going to a more populated place, I focused my energy on my siblings and myself, drawing our animal-esque appearance inwards, which would allow us to freely roam with the humans we will meet. Koenma nodded approvingly at my choice, even though I really could not hide the boys' abnormal eye colors, or our abnormal – by human standers in both cases – hair color. I had just realized that the young woman, Botan, had disappeared. "She went to your know home with the identification you shall need. Kurama, before it gets too late, care to show Moriko where she and her siblings will be attending school?"

"Of course, Koenma."

"Okay, you guys may leave, now." We both nodded before turning, vanishing through the water ripple like portal.


fiodsjfiosdjio I had 4 reviews since last chapter, totaling up to 10 now :) 2 more followers (totaling to 4), and 3 more followers (giving me 10, you guys are great and I love you).

After the next chapter, or half way through it, we'll be getting into the Yukina rescue arc. My favorite mini-arc because I'm in love with Hiei's protectiveness over his twin. Cutest sibling relationship ever.

In response to spoiled princez's three reviews: For your question about the seeds in her arm, they each represent one of her siblings. When Rin and Miki were hurt by Mr. Assbutt, the plants sprouted out of her arm that they are not at 100% health. And the main reason I went with silver hair is because of whom I based her father off of, from a different anime/manga series, though with my own creative twist, making him sorta mine. You'll find out more about him during the Dark Tournament arc.

As for the branch/silver vine, well... The branch broke the window because of Moriko's anger, which caused an energy spike, making the tree outside grow rapidly and break the glass. For the silver vine, it's a plant that can be found in Asia that is a more potent form of catnip. It is also used to make sake. Isao grew it to make the cat demons leave their door unguarded, so he could try and escape... Too bad his arms are were too short. /laughs

Moriko's mother taught her to take no man's shit, and that no man is good enough for her... Makes you wonder how her mother and father could ever get along at all, seeing as her mama serves no man and relies mostly on herself... Haha. Hope that answers any questions you had :)
