Disclaimer: I wonder why I'm writing this story. I like the Yusuke and Kagome pairing more. Hmm…

Despite how much Shippo loved to annoy Kurama, he did consider the older kitsune a friend. Especially after all the trouble he had gone through for him after he had gotten into that little bind with Spirit World. He had Kurama's back when they were on a mission. But Kagome came first, always.
He bit his tongue and kept his gaze on the road. From the corner of his eye he watched as Kurama remained stoned face, probably taking in what had just happened.
And indeed he was. Kagome was becoming an even bigger mystery to him. At first glance she seemed like just another ordinary human, but now he doubted his earlier assumption. While there was nothing abnormal about her, the company she kept said otherwise. Did she know they were demons? Did she know what he was?
Kurama was only faintly aware when the car came to a stop. The drive had passed in what felt like seconds. He didn't bother getting out just yet though. He needed answers.
Green clashed with teal.
"Does she know?"
Shippo scowled before growling out, lying between clenched teeth, "No. She doesn't know a damn thing about the other worlds or demons."
Kurama arched an eyebrow, not sure whether he should believe him or not. There was no reason why he shouldn't distrust the younger fox. He let it go for now, though he was still suspicious and instead asked, "How do you and that other demon know her?"
"That is none of your damn business. Just stay away from her, got it," Shippo replied, his eyes narrowing to slits.
Kurama smiled coolly, reminiscent to that of his previous life when he was on the hunt. "Now why would I do that? Kagome-chan is proving to be such a fun challenge."
"Stay. The. Fuck. Away," he snarled, gripping the steering wheel even tighter.
"I don't think I will, and you better watch who you're talking to, kit," he replied, stepping out of the car.
Glaring, Shippo's snarl suddenly turned into a wicked looking smile as he got the last word in before peeling off. "She thinks you're gay!"
