I call Kurama Youko in his small fox like form :P

F-i-c keeps changing to fix. QQ

Summary: Kurama goes to visit his cousin Kagome's house. He ends up being sent back in time with her when he falls down the bone eater's well trying to catch her when she jumped down it. Now he joins Kagome and her friends on their adventure to find the Shikon jewel shards. But on the way, Kurama meets some rather familiar characters.

"La la la~" Rin skipped ahead of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru watched as the fox ran around Rin and the came back to walk beside him. The fox wouldn't stray far from him and he was getting a bit irritated because he almost tripped over it three times. "Look, Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin gasped as she pointed up a tree. "Those are huge apples!" Sesshomaru cut one down and handed it to Rin. The fox growled and jumped up and knocked it out of her hand. "Hey!" Sesshomaru frowned as Rin tried to pick up the apple and the fox snipped at her hand.

"Here, Rin," Sesshomaru sighed, believing the fox was simply stingy. He knocked another one down and fox growled at it and knocked it out of Rin's hand again. Rin huffed and glared. Sesshomaru watched as the fox sniffed the apple before rolling it in the bush and then going to do the same with the other. Sesshomaru frowned and cut another apple down and cut it in half. He wrinkled his nose at the strong smell and instantly understood why the fox wouldn't let Rin eat it. The apples weren't really apples but large fruits that were a delicacy to some demons but poisonous to others and deadly to humans. Sesshomaru allowed the fruit to drop from his hand and he watched the fox roll it into the bushes.

"The fruits are poisonous," Sesshomaru said and continued to walk. Rin gasped and looked at the fox.

"You saved me!" Rin shouted with a large grin on her face. The fox yipped and followed after Sesshomaru.

"Hm…" Jaken mumbled as he followed behind Sesshomaru and Rin.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried. Inuyasha turned to look at her and the two frowned at each other. "Maybe you two should team up?"

"Hn, I don't need a half human to help me," Hiei said with his nose in the air. Kagome glared at him.

"Feh, as if I need this shrimp to help me," Inuyasha and Hiei both went separate ways. Kagome sighed.

"Boys…"

"Indeed…" Sango agreed.

Sesshomaru sat silently watching Rin and the fox play with each other. He looked to his side at Jaken and Ah-Un. "Jaken, why do you believe the fox has taken to following us?"

"Ah!" Jaken looked startled for a minute before answering: "I believe when you killed that demon, it reverted this demon into a more fragile state of mind and he just hooked onto you like a life line. He may even think you are his parent since you are silver just like him." Jaken said. Sesshomaru nodded.

"We should give him a name!" Rin said. She looked at the fox and the fox stared up at her and tilted its head. "How about Youko?" She asked, looking at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru shrugged. She smiled and looked at the fox. "Youko!" She exclaimed as she pointed at the fox. The fox yipped and did a spin before pouncing on her and licking her face, the 4 tails of his lazily flicking back and forth.

"Why does this fox have 4 tails and yet it is small?" Sesshomaru asked.

"The reverting might have done something to his size? Or maybe the fox is just…a kit?"

"Impossible…" Sesshomaru mumbled to himself. "This fox is older than I am." Jaken's eyes widened.

"Maybe it has two forms? Like that cat demon that's always with Inuyasha and his humans." Jaken suggested. Sesshomaru was silent before he nodded in agreement.

"That may be," Sesshomaru mumbled. Rin and Youko looked at Sesshomaru and they both ran over to him.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin cried as she buried her face in his neck. Sesshomaru frowned in confusion. He looked down at the fox burrowing in between him a Rin. She pointed in the distance and he saw what made the two so frightened. It was a large demon making its way towards them. He sighed. He picked Rin up and Rin held onto the fox. Sesshomaru placed Rin down o Ah-Un and he stepped forward to meet the demon half a way. After disposing of the demon, he went back to see Rin and Youko staring at him, though Youko's gaze was on his missing arm.

"Come," Sesshomaru said as he began to walk. Ah-Un followed behind with Rin, Jaken, and Youko sitting on top of them.

Sesshomaru again stopped. He sighed and turned to see that Rin and Youko had fallen asleep. He sat down against a tree. That's when the two stirred and large brown and gold orbs settled on him. The two on Ah-Un jumped down and ran over to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru watched as the two nuzzled against him. He sighed and patted the foxes head and then Rin's. Rin smiled up at him and Youko stared up at him.

Inuyasha growled as he came to a stop. It was hopeless. He looked to his side to see the small demon standing there with his eyes closed. "The human is right," Hiei said as he opened his eyes to stare at Inuyasha. The one on his forehead closed. "We will need to team up to look for Kurama," Hiei nodded. Inuyasha sighed.

"Yeah…"

Blargh.
