.o.O.o.

She remembered her initial shock when Kagome dumped her whole life story at an ice cream shop of all places. They both knew that it wasn't the wisest decision Kagome could have made, but Kagome assured her that she would not have told her if she did not deem Yukina trustworthy.

It was a very emotional day, but she realized that Kagome needed to let it out to someone who understood the yokai world. She needed a friend, and Yukina was honored to be the one she chose to confide in. She made a point to visit the human world often if only for her.

You have a very kind soul, Yukina, one of the kindest I've seen, she said. Yukina smiled at the memory.

A/N: Canon divergence is real in this fic. Yukina never did this in the anime and stayed in the Makai until the Dark Tournament. Also, I don't think she's met Kurama before the Dark Tournament. Oh well, imagine this as a universe where everyone is at least acquainted with each other. (Yukina still doesn't know of Hiei's connection to her tho)
