Sweet Reunion

Pairing: Yoko/Kurama/Kagome

Summary: Sequel to Sweet Sacrifice. Kurama stumbles upon an injured woman that seems familiar to Yoko.

They were walking with Yusuke. They were going to go visit his aunt. She had said it was urgent that he get there and as fast as possible. Though he knew she often exaggerated some things so he was heading there at a sedate pace. He could see the stairs now. He could see the dazed look on Kurama's face. He figured he was talking to Yoko about one thing or another. He didn't really care much. He faced forward and looked up at the stairs after a brief pause. He started up them after a few seconds.

They made it to the top of the stairs, Yusuke heading for the house. A familiar scent was in the air, at least familiar to Yoko.

'I know that scent,' Kurama heard Yoko mumble.

'Yoko?' Yoko seemed to shrug it off and Kurama followed Yusuke into the house with Kuwabara and Hiei.

"Yusuke, it's horrible," his aunt cried. "I'm worried about Kagome." The name rang a bell with Yoko but he kept quiet. "She's been gone for a month now."

"What are you talking about?" Yusuke looked confused.

"You don't know this but Kagome has been traveling back and forth through time. She wanted to fix something she broke, but she's been gone a month and I know something is wrong." She started to cry.

"How far back in time?" Yusuke asked.

"Roughly five hundred years," she whispered.

'My Kagome?' Yoko asked.

'Yoko?' Kurama was confused.

'The scent. It is her scent.'

"How did she manage that?"

"The well." Without another word Kurama felt the shift and Yoko stood in his place. Yusuke seemed shocked, especially when he threw open the door and ran for the well. Everybody seemed to follow him. He looked down and there was the broken form of his mate. It was exactly this day five hundred years ago that he thought she died.

He leapt down and gently picked up the broken form of his mate. He leapt back out, careful not to jar her. Yusuke's aunt gave a cry and buried her head in Yusuke's chest as he tried to calm her. He just watched as Yoko walked out of the well house and into the house. He followed the scent of his mate, though it was faded, up to her room. He set her on the bed and she gave a moan.

"Kagome?"

"Yoko?" She seemed dazed. "Am I dead?"

"No." He licked the blood from her cheeks. "I thought you were dead all those years ago." He nuzzled her cheek. He could hear Kurama whispering to him that he needed to take care of her wounds. He helped her sit up and pulled off her shirt after closing the door. He pulled the needed seeds from his hair and had them grow, crushing them in his hands before putting them on her wounds. He had found rolls of bandages and started to wrap her upper body. It seemed that the only wounds were the two slashes to the black and a bit of bruising. He pushed his youki into his mates body, knowing it wouldn't harm either of them because of their bond. It helped to heal most of the damage done, causing the wounds to be shallow and no where nearly as deep as they had been.

"Thank you, Yoko." She caressed his cheek.

"There is no thanks needed. You are my mate and I am to take care of you." He helped her lay down on her side so not to hurt her back. "Sleep. I will be here when you wake up." She nodded and closed her eyes, settling into a dreamless sleep. He walked out of the room, allowing Kurama to talk over once more.

"Kurama?" Yusuke asked.

"She's alive, just resting. Yoko has treated her wounds." He ushered his friend back down stairs. He was soon bombarded by Yusuke's aunt. "She's fine, just resting."

"So how does Yoko know her?" Yusuke asked.

"Well, from what he said, they are mates. They mated five hundred years ago. How she got that way I don't know, but Yoko had thought she was dead." Yusuke's aunt seemed relieved but looked at him. He felt Yoko take over again and she started to circle him, as if evaluating him.

"She said you were handsome. Such cute ears," she mumbled. She came to his tail and it gave a swish. She seemed to touch it but he pulled his tail from her hands. She came back around. She could see his sculpted chest and arms.

"With fox demons, only their mates can touch their tails," he said, amber eyes looking down at her. However, he relinquished control and allowed Kurama back out.

"Sorry about him. He isn't really used to people touching him, aside from his mate." They nodded. They heard steps behind them and turned to see Kagome approaching. She hadn't pulled on a shirt, but the bandages covered her whole front.

"Kagome!" Her mother would have jumped on her if it hadn't of been for the pained look on her face. "Are you okay?'

"Yes, though I need something to drink." She nodded and handed her daughter a glass of orange juice. She drank it down slowly. She couldn't afford to choke. "I'm hungry," she said after the glass was empty. Her mom placed her favorite food in front of her, but she turned slightly green. She turned away.

"What's wrong? I thought oden was your favorite."

"It is, but I was thinking more of something else." She stood and started to rummage through the cabinets. She pulled out some bread and peanut butter. She put it on the bread and at it before making another sandwich, once satisfied she smiled. "Um, can you let Yoko out?" She asked Kurama. He nodded and allowed his other half out. "Yoko, I wanted to tell you this before the attack, but I didn't want to worry you." she looked down.

"What is it Kagome?" He tilted her chin up. Yusuke had never seen him act like this before.

"I'm pregnant. I did everything to protect our child from harm." He engulfed her in a hug, kissing her deeply.

"I'm going to be a grandma?" Kagome's mom asked. Kagome nodded, still kissing her mate. Her mother seemed happy. "I hope they have those cute ears, she mumbled. Kagome blushed. She never gave a thought to what the child would look like.

"I love you, Kagome," he murmured to her.

"I love you too." She smiled into his chest. They would be happy from now on.
