Disclaimer: I don't own them! *cries* I wish I owned Youko! Or Kurama, either one would be wonderful to own! *dries tears* but at least I own Sakura!

{AN: Well, I started this one in class as well! Lol, I wonder how long this one will take! It will only have the future/present, so we are leaving Youko and Sakura to make it to the well on their own for now…plus a stupid unconscious hanyou as well! Lol, anyways, since I started this one after uploading the other one, number 12, I wont have any review responses in this one! BUT, I had out Youko COOKIES to everyone to enjoy while they read it! Lol

*places a chibi Youko shaped plate on the table with tons of Youko cookies on it*

ENJOYZ!}

Kagome stared at Kurama in shock. "Youko….dies?" she just couldn't believe it. She just saw him not that long ago! Kurama watched Kagome intently, he felt like she might faint at any moment, her skin was deathly white.

Kagome shook her head and leaned back in disbelief. "It is true Kagome. I was caught while trying to thieve a piece of jewelry, and well…I died." Kurama shrugged and looked away uncertainly, bashful over admitting to being caught.

"So…you aren't just a youkai?" Kagome asked quietly, looking at Kurama….no Youko….'ok, I'll just call him Kurama!' out of the corner of her eye.

Kurama froze before looking at her in shock. "You mean I haven't revealed myself to you yet?"

Kagome shook her head no and Kurama stared at her in horror. Tilting her head Kagome watched him slowly loose all color in his face.

"Kurama! Where are ya!? We have ta move it!" Yusuke's voice echoed throughout the forest as Kagome stared at Kurama, ignoring the irritating voice.

"Is there something wrong, Kurama?" Kagome asked innocently, looking into his vibrant green eyes curiously.

"N-no, nothing wrong." Kurama stammered for a bit before catching himself. "Kagome, if I haven't revealed myself to you….then what has happened so far?" Kagome had explained to him about the well and where she had gone all those years ago, well…all those years ago for him anyways.

"Well, Shippo told us you were going after Inuyasha… You left us there and then I came here. You never came back…" Kagome frowned and looked at him sternly. "Where were you!? I was worried sick!"

Kurama held up his hands to hold Kagome off from her rant. "Kagome, I can't tell you where I was. You'll see soon enough! I don't even remember that time very well, it was a long time ago. I lived without you for a long time, almost 700 years! You can't expect me to remember every little detail!"

Kagome pouted and looked to the side, making Kurama wish he had revealed himself to her already. 'Then I could be kissing her right now instead of explaining everything to her, now that would be a wonderful way to great each other…' Kurama was brought out of his thoughts by Kagome tapping his nose.

"You zoned out on me for a second, what's wrong?" Blushing Kurama looked up at the leaves around them before looking back down at her as something occurred to him.

"Nothing is wrong. I was just thinking."

"What about?" she shifted to get into a more comfortable position on the branch she was sitting on. Kurama had decided to not take her to meet his friend, yet. Instead he had talked her into sitting in a tree with him, which she found incredibly funny.

'I can't tell her yet. She has to learn by herself…' "Nothing important. I was wondering what school you go to now, since you were removed from Keiko's school a while ago?"

Kagome didn't believe him for a second, he had a way too innocent of a look for that to be it…'I'll find out eventually…' "I go to Tokyo High now." Kagome said, but then looked sheepish. "Well, sorta. Mom signed me up for online classes, so that I can catch up without having to worry about what I missed. If I'm gone for too long she says she'll just make copies of the work and then have me do it, while she turns in another version she answers. That way I'll still be able to graduate."

"That's nice of her." Kurama said, happy she wont be held back.

"Yeah, it is. She's a wonderful mother. I don't know what I'd do without her." Kagome missed the look on Kurama's face as she looked over towards the house and watched her mother sweep the front step of any dirt.

'You might have to…' Shaking his head of any morbid thoughts, Kurama held out a hand to Kagome. "I'll help you down now. You're hungry."

Before Kagome could protest that she wasn't her stomach growled, loudly, making Kurama smirk in satisfaction. Sighing Kagome nodded and placed her hand in his. Kurama pulled her forwards and into his chest, where he then wrapped his arms around her securely. "Hold on…" he whispered in her ear quietly, making Kagome blush scarlet.

Kurama smirked as he felt her body heat sky rocket, and as a small tendril of her scent shifted he internally groaned. 'She smells the exact same…' It wasn't until after a moment of sitting in the tree with her practically sitting on his lap that he realized he should have fully thought through his plans. 'Not good…well, it would be, if she knew…' Kurama sighed into her hair as he breathed in deeply, trying to calm his body down before he would take her back inside. It wouldn't do any good for any of the guys to see his…'condition' at the moment.

Kagome looked over at Kurama's head, or tried to. 'He's acting so strange…' Mentally shaking her head Kagome scolded herself. 'Of course he's acting strange! You hardly know him right now, maybe this is his normal behavior! And maybe he has changed over the years! Jeez, I can be so stupid sometimes!'

Kurama whimpered slightly as he inhaled more of her scent. 'Such a wonderful smell…how I have missed her…' Kagome wiggled around, trying to get a better purchase, when she accidentally placed her hand directly over his hard erection.

Kurama stiffened while Kagome froze in shock. 'Damn it!' Kurama berated himself, before Kagome immediately moved back.

Kagome froze. 'No…way…' Yes way. That was, indeed, his… 'thingy' she had just touched. And it was hard too.

Kagome yanked herself back and moved her hand to resting on his right leg as she moved to a kneeling position on the tree, her left leg between his and her right one on the outside. When he had pulled her towards him he had still been reclining back against the tree. Now he was frozen in shock, while Kagome stared at him with a beet red face.

'Damn it! Why did I have to go and do that!?' Kurama thought angrily. He was too worried about what he would see if he opened his eyes, 'She's probably pissed at me now.'

Kagome stared at him silently, taking in his scrunched up features and his pale, yet red, complexion. 'He didn't mean to….but….' Kagome looked at him silently before narrowing her eyes in determination.

{AN: Well, I wrote this one in career center too! I hope everyone loved it! Lmao, this one took me…around….i'd say a hour, I guess…started at 9:40, ended at 10:10….yeah, I'd guess and hourish, possibly less! lmao
