My internet was down for a while so I had time to work on this chapter. (I wasn't able to watch Soul Eater ;_;)

Note: six months is like 10/12 human years.

Warning: There is a dangerous sex scene somewhere within this text. It is your job to find and apprehend it. (It isn't really dangerous)

Enjoy!

XxXxXxX

Kurama and Miyaki ran silently through the forest while Sanosuke and Shishio crashing loudly behind them. "You two are still making too much noise," Kurama snarled as he came to a halt in a clearing. The two boys almost fell over each other. "Your mother makes less noise and Ican still hear her for miles!" Miyaki snorted softly and gave him a look but agreed.

"Sorry father," Sanosuke looked down at his feet. They'd both grown into spitting images of a six month old version of their father. Shishio nodded in agreement with his brother.

"It's alright boys. We'll keep working on it," Miyaki told her boys lovingly and brushed Shishio's hair out of his eyes. This time Kurama snorted and gave her a look. "They are your sons. They must have some natural talent," Miyaki smiled at him.

"Alright. Steps to tracking," Kurama asked of the boys.

"Um…listening," Shishio started.

"Scents," Sanosuke continued.

"Times up!" Kurama sighed loudly and continued, "First thing you do when breaking and entering."

Sanosuke started this time. "Um…survey the situation then you uh-" but he was silenced simultaneously by both his parents. They perked their ears up in the same direction.

"You hear that?" Miyaki breathed.

Kurama nodded. "I'm going to go check it out."

"Take the boys with you," Miyaki called to him as he was about to enter the forest.

He groaned. "But they'll scare away whatever's out there," he pointed at the forest childishly.

"Well if whatever is out there was really after us, it wouldn't run away," Miyaki retorted.

Kurama made a disappointed face, "Fine! Come on," he trudged into the forest with his sons on his heels leaving Miyaki in the small clearing. She sighed and busied herself by picking at her nails until she picked up a scent. Focusing her ears in that direction, she pinpointed the intruder and ran up a nearby tree. Silently moving from branch to branch she found her? A woman? A cat women? She must know this is fox territory. Miyaki watched her for a long moment. Long black hair with matching ears and a long thin tail, she seemed a little lost but cat demons were dangerous, nonetheless. Miyaki easily stalked her prey to the end of the branch and pounced, landing squarely on top of the cat, restraining her arms and legs.

"Do you know where you are, cat?" Miyaki growled at the cat.

"I'm in fox territory, that's all I know. Is it yours?" The cat said, sounding almost innocent

"As a matter of fact, it is," Miyaki snarled slightly.

"Will you kill me?" She sounded indifferent now.

All Miyaki could do was wonder about where this cat came from but then she began to laugh. "No, I won't kill you. I'll let my mate decide your fate." And as if was summoned, Kurama and the two boys stepped into the battlefield.

"We couldn't find anything and I guess this is why," Kurama mused and walked over to his female. "Good job Miyaki. Now, what shall we do with this intruder?"

Miyaki smiled up at him. "I think this would be an excellent opportunity for the boys to practice their killing."

"I'm rubbing off on you," Kurama leaned down; cupped Miyaki's chin in his hands and placed a soft kiss on her lips. They heard the boys groan from disgust. "Would you like a kiss too, boys?" Kurama laughed. They both exclaimed their displeasure with the thought at the same time. "Didn't think so. Let her up," he commanded. Miyaki stood and yanked the girl along with her. "Sanosuke," he smiled at the child, "Show me what you can do."

"Gladly," he grinned sadistically. He walked toward the cat, claws extended, as steeled himself to kill. He wrapped his small hand around the cat's neck, at least as far as it would go, and held a long dark nail to her throat. "I promise, this won't hurt," and he pierced the skin, "much," he added when the cat gasped. A small trickle of dark red blood started pour out of her.

"Wait," Miyaki's ears twitched. "Did you hear that?"

"No," was Kurama's only impatient response.

"Did your stomach just growl?" Miyaki directed to the cat. She didn't answer. Cats were proud creatures and would never admit to weakness but she also didn't answer because she was being partially strangled. "She's hungry. I have something here…" Miyaki trailed off and reached into her kimono sleeve for a small wrist pouch.

"You're feeding her?" Kurama exclaimed. "We're about to kill her!"

"Even prisoners get last meals."

"She's not a prisoner! She's prey!" Miyaki shot him a look but he shot one back almost before she could finish making hers. When the threat didn't work, Miyaki immediately moved on to the erotic plead that only Youko picked up on. "Fine!" Miyaki smiled with triumph. "But I expect payment for this," he said letting her know he meant in the bed.

"Here. Eat this." The cat looked suspiciously at the row of triangle shaped onigiri, wrapped in a banana leaf in the fox's hand.

"You fit all that in that little bag?" Kurama asked but she ignored his question.

"I promise it's not poisoned or anything," Miyaki continued to tell the girl. She hesitantly took one and murmured a thank you. "Maybe we should let her go…" Miyaki mused quietly.

"What?" Kurama shouted at her. "No! Bad idea! I can't let intruders come and go in my territory as they please!"

"She's just a kitten," Miyaki cooed and scratched under the cats chin receiving a purr in exchange.

"So? She's still a cat and we're dog…like creatures and cats and dogs don't mix!"

Miyaki continued up to the cat's ear. "Well, can I keep her?"

"Keep her?" Kurama shouted.

"Keep me?" the cat shouted at the same time.

"As a pet," she directed at her mate. "Which do you value more: your pride or your life?" Miyaki continued to the cat. Proud but self preserving creatures.

"Pets don't have pets," Kurama retorted, raising one of his finely shaped eyebrows and curling his lips into a smirk.

"And masters don't have children with their pets." Shishio and Sanosuke knew nothing of their parents master servant relationship. They only knew them as father and mother so they had no idea what they were talking about but if it meant getting a pet, they were all in!

"We want a pet!" Shishio piped up.

Miyaki smirked at her mate. "Your sons want a pet."

Kurama made a disapproving face. "We already have the dogs."

"Those are your pets!" Miyaki argued. "Rei and Noriko hate me and playing with Yemom is like dating a caveman!"

Kurama pouted. "Fine!" he spat. "But keep it out of my sight!"

The trio of younger foxes celebrated. "Thank you, love," Miyaki kissed her mate but he still bore a resentful face when she pulled away.

The boys were distracted by what to name their new cat when Kurama grabbed Miyaki by the roots of her hair and his eyes narrowed. "I am going to tear that ass up."

"Have your way with me, master," she smiled back at him seductively. He turned and pulled her with him back towards home. "Boys, bring her home and tie her up outside. Leave her some water and I'll make her some food later."

"Come on!" Kurama barked harshly at his mate.

XxXxXxX

Miyaki woke up and growled in pain. It was defiantly a good pain. Kurama was still on top of her, fast asleep. She could feel his breath against her ear. She couldn't help but smile at the tickling feeling it made.

"Youko," she sighed. "Youko!" she said louder. He groaned loudly. Miyaki sighed at the vibration, starting to lose herself but she couldn't. "I have to go make dinner."

"And what do you expect me to do about that?"

"Would you mind getting off of me?"

"Yes, I would. Beside, I'm not hungry. At least, not for food." He started to kiss her neck hungrily.

Miyaki moaned. "Youko, stop it. The boys are hungry."

"You and your sons," he growled and flicked her ear with his tongue.

"They're your sons, too," she smiled, grabbed him by his shoulders and pried him off of her.

"Where'd that strength come from?" Kurama laughed as he was dropped across the bed.

Miyaki started re-dressing, "I am the nine tailed fox demon, aren't I?"

He pouted. "What happened to the weak little kit I mated?"

Miyaki tied her obi and twisted it around to her back then leaned over to kiss the man she loved. "She grew up." Her long, white lashes brushed against his cheeks. Youko went to grab her wrist but she was already gone.

XxXxXxX

"Hello," Miyaki smiled to the cat who was currently sitting against a nearby tree, licking at her hand. She sneered at the fox and went back to her hand. "Well, if that's the way you're going to be, I'll just take this seared salmon back inside."

"Wait fox." She stood up. Miyaki smiled and walked back toward the cat.

"Now where did my little boys tie you up?" she mused to herself, looking the cat up and down. "Aha! Let's see here…" she murmured as she found the knot where Shishio had, obviously, tied the cat. Youko tried to teach the boys knots once. Sanosuke failed, but, Shishio failed miserably. She held up the rope against the cat's neck and she flinched. "Don't worry. If I hurt you, I promise to heal you." She clawed straight through the rope in one try.

The cat grunted. "Where's my salmon?"

Miyaki laughed. "Come on," and she gestured her head toward the house. The cat followed her to the back door but she stopped at the door frame. "What's wrong?"

"What about your mate?" she asked skeptically.

"Don't worry. He won't do anything while I'm around." The cat gave her a questioning look but Miyaki continued on in the house. After thinking it over a couple time, the cat followed. "Here you go." Miyaki set a plate at the table surrounded by place settings and a pot of tea.

"Wow…Isn't this a bit nice for a pet?"

Miyaki laughed. "I just said that so Youko would spare your life. If you don't mind, I made up a room for you, in the house. That is, if you're not an outdoor cat."

"I wouldn't mind," the cat told her still eyeing the food.

"You can eat." She sat and picked up the decorated chop sticks and stiffed at the fish then put the chop sticks down and began eating with her hands. "So what's your name?"

The cat looked at her skeptically. "It's Sakura."

Miyaki laughed at the name her sons obviously came up with, "Your real name."

"Kiko."

"Pretty," Miyaki smiled. "I'm Miyaki." Kiko shared a genuine smile with Miyaki.

There was silence while Kiko ate and Miyaki cleaned the remnants of her family's meal. "You seem like a nice enough demon, how did you get involved with that…not so nice demon?"

Miyaki smiled at the sink full of water where she was slowly washing a bowl. "I simply fell in love." Kiko made a face of understanding and went back to her food. "Why were you in fox territory, anyway?"

"I was running…" Miyaki turned about to ask the obvious when Kiko finished her sentence, "I was running away."

"From what?"

"My ex lover." Kiko started to pick at some rice set in a bowl before her. "He found out I was pregnant and after I gave birth I," she paused, "I gave her away." Miyaki stopped what she was doing and sat at the table with the cat demon, giving her her full attention. "He always wanted a family but I'm young. What am I going to do saddled with a child?" Miyaki put a reassuring hand on her arm and she continued. "I ran here, knowing he wouldn't follow and also that, I was found, I would surely be killed. I'd rather be killed by strangers then the man I love."

The cat shuttered slightly in an act to hold back the tear glossing over her eyes. "I knew I saw something in you," Miyaki smiled and went back to her dishes. There was more silence as the cat was allowed to have her space.

"So…you are the real nine tailed fox demon?" She still had a little food in her mouth as she talked.

Miyaki turned and smiled letting off a little of her aura, "The one and only."

"I always pictured a, well, a man,"

"He was," Miyaki turned back to her work, "But, sadly, he only had a daughter."

"Amazing. The great nine tailed fox demon."

Miyaki laughed, "I'm nothing special."

"It's true. She isn't." A voice came from the doorway.

"Youko…" Miyaki gasped.

"I thought I told you to keep this creature out of my sight," he smirked and moved toward his mate.

"I am but you aren't where you're supposed to be."

"It's my house. I'll be wherever I wish," he wrapped his arms around Miyaki's waist and pecked her lips softly.

"Why so gentle?" she laughed.

"I've been pretty rough on you lately," was his only response but she laughed again.

"I promise, I can take it." A seductive smirk played across her lips.

"Why is it sitting at my table?"

"Because I said she could."

"And who gave you such authority?"

Miyaki smirked again. They'd played this little game many times and she was getting quite good at it. "No one, my love."

"Then how did you come to making such decisions in my house?" He stroked her fluffy, red tipped, white ear down to her chin and lifted it so she was looking directly into his golden eyes. He was sure he had her beat. He always did. And she would submit to his demands and they would make hard love all night because that was normally all he wanted. But tonight, the young fox had a plan.

"Those long, pleasurable months we spent lock away in your room when we first mated or perhaps, when I gave birth to your beautiful sons, I guess, or maybe," she trailed a long nailed finger down his exposed chest, leaving a little, red trace in its wake, "when I spent all those nights healing you after you managed to get your gorgeous body all mangled up." He opened his mouth to respond but the white fox continued. "Even after you told me you never get hurt, you are the great Youko Kurama, after all."

Kiko snickered in the background causing her to receive a death glare from Kurama but then he chuckled and pecked Miyaki on the lips again. "Then who am I to argue with my mate." He'd given in to her cunning and small threat. Miyaki smiled and removed her hand from his chest taking the shallow scratch along with it. She was growing up. Taking more and more after her mate every day; in cunning and power. Now that she was allowed to harness it.

"Love, where do you suppose she will sleep?" Miyaki questioned innocently.

"Outside, with the rest of the uncivilized creatures, like yourself," he answered simply

Miyaki ignored his insult. "But, love," she looked up into his eyes, "I would have wasted all my time preparing a room for her."

"I guess someone won't be getting much sleep tonight," Kurama warned the younger fox with a smile and he turned to leave the two girls.

"What a monster," Kiko grunted after Kurama was out of earshot.

"He's just being himself," Miyaki smiled and went back to the sink.

XxXxXxX

"Well, this is your room. It's not much but it will have to do."

"Are you kidding me? Not Much! This is bigger than my whole apartment!" Kiko almost shouted.

"Calm down. The boys are trying to sleep." Kiko fell across the bed and spread her arms around. "Well, I'll let you sleep. I have a long night ahead of me."

"Thank you, Miyaki," Kiko said quietly. Miyaki smiled and continued out the door to her awaiting mate.

"There you are," he shut the door behind her as she wondered in the room. Kurama wrapped his arms from behind her and began biting softly at her neck. "Take off your clothes," he sighed smoothly in her ear and removed himself from her body. He moved to the bed and watched Miyaki slip the decorated obi off her slender body.

"This feels like déjà vu," Miyaki smirked.

"You're right," he smirked back, "I like knowing what to expect."

Miyaki pursed her lips and slid the delicate robes to the floor before approaching him. She climbed on top of him and their lips met roughly. Their tongues wrestled. Miyaki knew the drill; she was to give in to him. Let him win but not tonight. She laced her finger through his silver hair giving her more leverage in the battle. He firmly grabbed her bottom, a threat to just give up but that wasn't part of the plan. Her hands moved down his body to the sash the held his robe together. With no time to think about it, she sliced the sash apart and pushed the robe off his shoulders. Their tongues still fought for dominance when Miyaki started to slowly move her hands back down his body, finding his member. Nothing! She groaned and pressed harder against her mate who she felt smiling in her agony. She slowly started to run her cunt back and forth across his groin. There was a little tightening but that was it. She opened her eyes to glare at her mate and Youko did the same, giving her a "you're going to have to try harder than that" look. Miyaki growled and pushed him down to the bed, breaking the kiss and snarling.

"I'm not the one who wants sex," she pouted, still straddled over his body.

"You're right. I want sex," he still lay under her, pulling at her long, white hair, "but, now I don't feel like working for it. How do you plan on fixing that, mate?"

"I'm going to sit here and look pretty until you feel like working for it again," she smiled.

"Fine," he smiled back. "Let's see how long you can keep your hands off me." He easily lifted his mate off himself and placed her on the bed next to him.

"Well, let's see how long you can keep your hands off me."

He smiled and laid down facing her. "Lay down," he patted the space next to him.

"No thank you, I'm fine."

"Suit yourself." He started playing with a strand of his hair drawing the attention of Miyaki's bright, red eyes. She watched as a red rose seemed to grow straight from his locks. "For you."

Miyaki giggled and took the rose. "I've never actually seen you use your power for anything good."

"You have, you've just never noticed." And with that the rose multiplied and grew a vine that gracefully traveled up her arm. "I did rescue you, didn't I?"

"Gorgeous," Miyaki sighed, admiring her new bracelet. "Should I worry if it will strangle me?" she joked.

"Would I ever harm you?"

Miyaki smiled and nodded her head, "Yes." Kurama shrugged and the rose retracted back to its original shape. There was silence as they watched each other. "Your eyes are so beautiful," Miyaki finally broke in. She moved her hand as if to touch his face, but, just as it was an inch away, she slowly reached over him to grab an over sized pillow. She paused right as her breast was above his face and felt his aura change. He wanted her but he defiantly didn't want to be the one to give in. Miyaki propped herself on the pillow and positioned herself toward her mate with a smirk playing on her lips.

"So that's how we're going to play." But Miyaki only ran her tongue from one of her sharp canines to her lips to the other in response, making Kurama snarl a little, but, nevertheless, the heat started rushing to his groin anyway.

"Come on Youko," Miyaki smiled as a hand that was resting on her stomach slow moved up her body, "You know you want to. Come make love to me." The hand slowly started stroking her breast, massaging it, squeezing the nipple lightly. She moaned ever so softly.

Kurama rolled over to his back, ignoring the girl. "That's fine. Get yourself all worked up but who's going to release you when you need it?"

She crawled over to straddle his body once again, careful not to brush against him. "You are," she proceeded to fondle her breast with both hands, moaning lightly and tossing her head back. She seductively stuck a finger in her mouth and licked every inch of her long nailed digit and slowly placed it into her wet folds. She shuttered at the feeling as Kurama watched her intently. Her eyes fluttered shut and a small smile spread across her parted lips as she found a rhythm her body agreed with. Then she stopped almost immediately. "I knew you'd see it my way," the younger fox smiled as she felt something rub against her inner thigh.

Youko slowly removed her fingers and lifted himself to meet her. "Just because we see things the same way doesn't mean it's yours." He harshly pressed his lips to hers and entered her lower region. He wrapped his hands around her waist and crashed her body against his repeatedly. She screamed out in pleasure and begged him to go faster as he kissed and licked and bit her neck. Her hand tangled in his hair, ran down his back until he hit her spot, like he planned. She inhaled so sharply it sounded like a muffled screech and her nails dug into his back and trailed outward but Kurama took no noticed as he continued making love to her. He came and fell against the bed, bringing Miyaki with him.

"Are you ok?" Miyaki asked, brushing his hair from his face.

Kurama breathing was labored but he nodded a yes. Miyaki lifted herself until he was fully out of her and fell back against his chest. His heart was beating rapidly, for a demon. "Miyaki," he exhaled. She lifted her head to meet his eyes. "I lose far too much blood during sex with you."

Miyaki laughed and got off him. "Turn over." He obeyed and Miyaki ran her fingers across the long jagged marks in his back healing them to smooth skin. She continued to draw shapes across his back.

"Want to give me a massage while your back their?" Kurama turned his head to face her. Miyaki moved so she was right next to him then rubbed against his back. He moaned and she felt him start purring under her fingers.

"You like that, don't you?" He moaned again and Miyaki laughed softly. "I love you." She kissed his back.

XxXxXxX

"Kiko, breakfast is in an hour," Miyaki called from outside the door after knocking. She'd just pried herself from her mate's claws and woke up Shishio and Sanosuke and was wondering down to the kitchen. "Kuronue? What are you doing here?" She asked the darkness of the hall, catching the scent of the bat before she even saw him.

"Well, I came looking for Kurama, but now you're here." He pushed himself away from the wall he was leaning against. Miyaki snorted softly in disgust and continued on to the kitchen but he followed her. "So, what's for breakfast?" The bat questioned, leaning against a counter, as Miyaki scurried around the kitchen, collecting pans and food.

"Youko's upstairs," She turned toward him and pointed out politely.

"Figures. He would send his mate down here all alone when people like me can get in whenever they want." Miyaki rolled her eyes and turned back to what she was doing. She went to grab a bowl from the top shelf and couldn't quite reach it, nails grazing it but it evaded them otherwise. "Here, let me." Kuronue slipped behind, her easily grabbing the bowl and placing it in her small hands.

"Thank you?" She asked, confused by his helpful actions.

"You're very welcome," he smirked. He was still very close to her, merely inches away, as Miyaki stared up into his azure colored eyes. It was then that she realized Kuronue was slightly attractive. Nowhere near as handsome as her mate but defiantly something to fanaticize about.

"Kuronue, leave the girl alone." A tired sounding voice came from the door. Miyaki gasped in surprise as if one of the acts playing out in her head was going on externally.

"Believe me, Kurama , I would never dream of touching your female," he smiled as a hand reached up and trailed from Miyaki's forehead to her chin, lifting it to, again, meet his gaze. "But just because I don't dream of it doesn't mean I won't do it." He smirked at her and she turned her head away quickly, hiding a soft blush, but Kuronue just laughed and moved away to face his friend. "About time you woke up," smile still spread across his face. "I was beginning to think you would just sleep soundly while some outsider roamed your halls, oh wait! You already have! Kurama , what's this I hear about a cat?"

"I don't want to talk about it," Kurama commented and slipped his arms around his mate's waist as she went back to cooking.

"So you are housing a cat?" He exclaimed. "I just had to see it with my own eyes! Where is it?"

Miyaki opened her mouth to answer but Kurama squeezed her stomach a bit more harshly then lovingly and she quickly closed her mouth again. "Don't you have someone else to pester?"

"Of course I do, but, I always make sure to set aside some time in my busy schedule to check in on my old friend." Kuronue stepped behind Kurama and picked up a few strands of his long hair and let them slip through his fingers. "You two are so cute together," he whispered, leaning against the counter next to where Miyaki was separating eggs, "You rescued yourself a little helpless fox then mated with her. She cooks for you, cleans up after you and all she wants in return is a little friend so you let her keep her kitten, and in the house of all places! What will it be next, Kurama ?" He moved just beside the older fox and whispered in his ear. "You're becoming…domesticated."

Kurama whipped around and hurled a sharp stemmed white rose at the bat who quickly dodged it, jumping out of the way right before it lodged itself in the wood paneling but Kurama was upon him at his landing, wrapping a clawed hand around Kuronue's throat and pinning him against a wall. "Don't ever repeat those words," Kurama growled at the bat.

Kuronue quickly jumped from Kurama's grasp with a laugh, chanting "Kurama's domesticated" while Kurama chased after him, throwing energy blast and shouting threats.

Well, they were making quite a mess of the kitchen and Miyaki tried to ignore it until and energy blast careened with a bowl of freshly whisked eggs. Both the thieves paused and looked as though they'd just thrown a baseball though a mean old lady's window. "Take it outside," Miyaki said slowly, as calmly as possible.

Kurama straighten and laughed, "It's my house. I'll do whatever I want, where I-"

"Take it outside, now!" Miyaki shrieked, cutting Kurama off before he could finish his statement.

"Yes ma'am!" They said simultaneously and scrambled out the back door.

"What was that all about?" Kiko asked, wondering in the kitchen just as the thieves left.

Miyaki turned and smiled at her, "Just boys being boys." Miyaki sighed as she looked around the kitchen. "Breakfast might be delayed…" She sighed again and, with a flick her wrist, knocked what was left in the egg bowl to the ground.

Kiko picked up the bowl and started rinsing it off in the sink. "If you don't mind cooking with a cat, I'd be glad to help."

Miyaki smiled. "I would appreciate that." Kiko took the bowl of eggs from the counter and started the process of separating them.

XxXxXxX

Yes! Another chapter done! I'm currently listening to music from Mulan…Aw! Miyaki got herself a friend! How adorable! Anyway, thanks for reading everyone and review please!
