Disclaimer: Okay. I. Don't. Own. Yu. Yu. Hakusho.

I'm listening to a few songs as I write this. Including: Kiss from a Rose from Batman, Smiling Bomb from Yu Yu Hakusho, Let Me Be With You from Chobits, Phantom of the Opera from PotO. All great songs.

So, enjoy this chapter under influence of Batman, smiling bombs, cute Japanese girly stuff (Chobits) and the phantom of the opera while you can…

By the way, in my version, Kurama told his mom about everything already.

Chapter Eleven: The end of the beginning

Kurama woke up in his room.

He was in his bed, dressed in his pajamas (that white outfit in the show, I changed that a bit, cause Kurama doesn't sleep in the series, and he'd look better in white…).

At least he didn't have to worry about the necklace anymore; it was gone for good.

"Really?"

Hiei sat on the windowsill, looking like he always did.

"You're not shielding your mind, fox. That could be dangerous under certain circumstances. For example…if I wanted to kill you."

"It's in the fridge." Kurama didn't have to use any mind-tricks this time; what Hiei wanted was written on his face.

Hiei smirked and disappeared, doubtlessly going downstairs to steal his favorite food from the fridge.

And then, Kurama's door opened.

Everyone was there besides Hiei. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kayko, Botan, Shizuru, Yukina, Shiori, Ditrina, and Mishouri.

She was so lovely; she had changed into a new outfit that Kurama guessed wasn't much of a choice for her, seeing the way she was blushing and the way Botan and Kayko were grinning.

She was now wearing a dress that reached her knees, white with purple lacing, and cute little sleeves with lots of lace.

Even though she hated this sort of outfit most, she looked beautiful in it. Her white headband fit with it perfectly.

Seeing Kurama staring so intensely at her, she blurted out: "Whatchalookinatyoupervyidiotfox?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then laughter burst out. Kurama was smiling, and Mishouri was blushing more ferociously than before.

"Well, what's about it that we leave the love-struck couple alone?" Botan giggled, and the girls stole towards the door. Shiori was laughing as she went.

"I can't believe that you got a girlfriend! I've been waiting for this for a long time! You're such a handsome young boy that you get plenty of offers anyway. But just as I started to worry…Oh, I'm just so excited!" she practically giggled as she called: "I'll go and bake up a batch of cookies for everyone!"

"I'm not one to miss cookies." Yusuke said as he fled with Kuwabara following.

And so, a very embarrassed Kurama was left with Mishouri alone.

She was looking at him very quietly. He didn't want to break the silence; he enjoyed it. Watching her just like that felt wonderful.

At last, she broke the silence. "What happened to the necklace? Hiei told me your thoughts."

Kurama sighed. "Thousands of years ago, when I was young, my demon mother knew that I had the power to become an X class demon. But she didn't want that. She knew that it wouldn't be good for me. So she transferred much of the energy to the necklace, and she put it inside where no one would think to look. My soul."

Kurama paused as Mishouri frowned. "How do you put something into a soul?"

"It's very hard, and it requires a lot of energy. But my mother was very powerful and wise. She managed to complete the progress. But as I fought Karasu, my soul sensed that I was going to die; for good if it didn't transfer the power to my body. And so that's what it did."

"You mean you're an X class now?"

Kurama nodded.

Mishouri suddenly asked him: "You never told me why you liked me, Kurama."

He was completely caught off guard by this question, but he managed to pull himself back together to answer the question.

"I—I like the way you walk, talk, smile, laugh, cry, get angry, love, hate…"

"You like my looks?"

"No! No, I didn't mean that. I meant…how you do everything…your…specialness." Kurama stuttered. Why was she making him so nervous?

"Ah, I see." Mishouri knelt down beside his bed so that they were eye level. Kurama felt his face turn red.

"You don't have to be so tense…relax…" she whispered in his ear as she kissed his neck.

He felt his skin burn as her lips touched him, and shivers went up his spine as her mouth moved to his.

They kissed, and Kurama lost his usual coolness. He kissed her passionately, and she kissed back.

It was heaven. Mishouri could smell nothing but his scent, feel nothing but his soft hair, and taste nothing but him. Her senses were on fire.

They kissed, oblivious to anything else.

"Hey, how are the lovebirds doing?" Yusuke asked Hiei as he munched on a cookie.

Hiei grunted and continued eating his ice-cream.

"Come on…I'll buy you some ice-cream and put it on the windowsill…" Yusuke said slyly.

Hiei's eyebrows shot up. "Really?"

"If you give us some lovebird info whenever it gets romantic…"

"Hn…" Hiei tossed his empty bowl of ice-cream at Yusuke, who caught it.

"Why should I share information with you for ice-cream when I can probably get more from Kurama for not telling?"

Yusuke sighed and continued eating his cookie. "Damn you for being soooooooooooo friggin genius, fox boy."

And unknown to everyone, three dark figures were watching everything happening in Minamino residence.

"Let them rest…let them fool around, we will stop all that in due time."

"In due time indeed…in due time."

"Indeed…we've fooled around with them enough, too. The beginning is coming to an end."

Cliffhanger! Lalalalala! Sorry if it's a sucky chapter, I was on vacation! And I was also affected my cute girl songs… _

Also, I suck at fluff, gore and fights. Thank you, and please review!
