A Fox's Surprise
Ch 2: Getting to Know You and Other Details
By Pop Flower Millenium (do the dishes or I'll scream! Really I will! Hey, don't you doubt me!)
Kurama had lived several days with Kitsune without incident, unless you count the blowing-up of the microwave the day after she arrived, Kurama hadn't let her near the kitchen since.
"Gomen, niisan!" She whimpered as he attempted not to strangle her where she stood,
"How?-nevermind, I don't want to know! Just...help me clean it up before mother gets home!"
"Yes, niisan..." she said dejectedly, ever since she'd moved in, all she'd ever called him was 'niisan' nothing more and he just called her 'Kitsune' that was her name after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the death of the microwave, Kurama went upstairs to do his homework. He was met with a glowing pair of crimson eyes looking at him through his window, he smiled and walked over to open it for the little half koorime,
"Hello, Hiei." He said, Hiei gave his usual greeting of 'hn' and settled down on the bed to watch Kurama sprawl out over the rest of the mattress and begin his homework.
"you smell like smoke." Hiei commented, Kurama laughed a bit, then looked up at his friend,
"my sister-" he started, but Hiei jumped up onto his feet, still on the bed, and pointed an accusing finger at the fox,
"You never told me you had a sister!"
"Neither did you."
"True...but-"
"Niisan!" came Kitsune's voice from downstairs, "Shiori called! She'll be working late!"
"Alright, arigatou, Kitsune!"
"Don' mention it!" then there was an awkward silence for a minute, followed by, "who's up there with ya?" Kurama jolted, Hiei looked at the the door as if it had been the one that had spoken, not someone outside the room,
"a friend of mine!"
"aren't ya gonna introduce me?"
"if you promise not to blow him up!"
"Ha, ha, niisan! Ok, then." That was followed by the sound of feet-and...nails...?...claws maybe...?-on the hard wood floor, then the sound of something bounding quickly up the stairs, followed by a slim, sliver nose nudging the door opened, then a small fox-like, yet cat-like, creature walked in. it was silver with red stripes around the tips of its three tails, white paws, red-green eyes and a slimmer body then when Kurama was in his fox form, it had large, pointed ears and its tails fluffed like any other foxes, yet, it seemed more graceful then any fox wound and it moved like a cat, Kurama shook his head in amusement, then turned to Hiei, who was gripping the handle of his sword tightly,
"Hiei," he started softly, making the Jaganshi look at him, "this is my sister, Kitsune." He said, gesturing to the small fox-like animal, which was now sitting down and rubbing its head with one of its paws, but on hearing her name, she looked up and then tilted her head slightly, "Kitsune, if you would please, make yourself...uh...decent..." he said, she made a snorting-sneezing noise and ruffled her fur in agitation, but complied-or, so Kurama thought. She walked into his opened closet and shifted some things around, until she came out wearing a cap and a pair of boxers, making Hiei fall off of the bed laughing and Kurama jump up and chase her out of the room, yelling at her to come back with his clothes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When he finally caught her, it was because she'd slipped on the boxers and fallen down the stairs. He took the clothes off her and was rewarded with being bitten on the nose,
"Ow! Kitsune!" he snapped, she kicked her hind feet and hit him repeatedly in the chest, then he dropped her and with a thud, a human girl hit the ground,
"owch...niisan! you suck!" she growled, standing up and lightly slapping him in the face, making him touch his cheek and blink, then she ran past him back upstairs and Kurama heard a door close,
"uh oh..." Kurama muttered, then he turned and darted back up the steps,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiei had basicly just composed himself when the door flew opened and what he thought was Kurama ran in, then slammed the door closed and locked all the locks that could be found on it, then turned around and pressed their back up against the boor, grinning like an idiot. Hiei blinked, it wasn't kurama, Kurama didn't have boobs, nor did he wear tight, black, low rising, belly bearing, tank tops, or low rising, torn apart, faded, drawn on, painted on blue jeans, or a skull choaker. The Kurama look-alike grinned broader at the sound of footsteps on the stairs, then she turned to Hiei and put a finger to her lips, motioning for him to keep quiet, he just tilted his head and blinked at her
"Kitsune!" Kurama cried as he found the closed bedroom door, "Kitsune, you open my door this instant!"
"That sounded wrong, niisan!" the girl called,
"You know what I ment!" he snapped back at her,
"The back meaning or the real meaning?" she inquired playfully,
"The real one!" Kurama snapped through the door
"Oh!" she replied, trying not to laugh, "well, I can't do that!"
"Why not?!"
"Because!"
"Why?"
"Because...um...i'm...uh...-oh! Because I'm naked!"
"no you're not!"
"How do you know?"
"Because Hiei's in there!"
"Uh...he...uh...no he's not!" she retorted quickly, but Kurama just banged on the door and yelled at her to let him in, but no matter how hard he pounded, or how loud he yelled, she just pretended not to listen and sat on the bed next to Hiei, "so, how're you?" she asked, he shrugged a bit as an answer, "ok. So, you're Hiei, huh?" a nod, "well, I'm Kitsune." She said, extending her hand, he looked at it, then took it, "Nice ta meet ya."
"y-yes, like-wise." He answered, Kitsune nodded, then she watched the door, "Aren't you going to let him in here?"
"No way. Then he'll kill me." she said, then the got up and walked over to the window, opened it and hoisted herself out of it, "You can let him in in a few minutes if ya want, but, at least wait till I'm a few blocks away." She said, Hiei blinked, then nodded, "Thanks, cutie." She said, winking at him, then disappearing from view. Hiei blushed, then listened to her scamper away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kitsune walked down the sidewalk, the human world was huge! She loved it though, it sure was better then 'eat-or-be-eaten' back in the Mekai. She stopped in front of a bakery window and pressed her palms against it, desperately wanting a really big cookie, then she decided she'd take one, she closed her eyes and reached slowly through the glass, snatching up a cookie, then opening her eyes to walk away, she was met with a large pair of shimmering eyes blinking back at her,
"yeek!" she cried, jumping back,
"who're you then?" the owner of the eyes asked, an Irish accent dominating his voice,
"Um...i'm...uh..." she stammered, then she blinked, the boy in front of her wore a sleeveless sweater with the hood pulled up over his head, baggy jeans and combat boots similar to her own, some think strands of red hair fell out from under the hood, he wore a pair of sun-goggles on his head, they were pulled up onto his forehead, and he was blinking at her, there was another boy next to him, wearing a n ice-blue fishnet shirt over a black tank-top, his hair was slicked back, except a few strands that stuck off to the side above his left eye, he wore a baggy, black burray on his head, small, circular shaped sunglasses hung low on his nose, light, blueish vynle pants and hiking boots completed his outfit, along with an intricately beaded choker made of what appeared to be ice, he blinked his narrow, shimmering eyes at her and she loosened up a bit, "My name's Kitsune. And you two?"
"I'm Jin." The red-head stated happily, "And this here's Touya." He gestured to the other boy, who gave a curt nod as means of greeting,
"Yo, guys." She said, flitting her fingers as a wave and winking brightly, "So, how'd you two suddenly appear like that?" she asked, Jin grinned nervously and Touya seemed to contemplate a bit, then he answered,
"We flew." He said shortly, rubbing the back of his neck, Jin made a yelping noise and glared at Touya,
"oh. Ok." She said, then she began to break her cookie into several pieces and handed them to the two boys, who graciously took them,
"It's been a while since I've eaten anything worth while." Touya commented, Jin could have cared less at that point though-he had a cookie! And that in itself was a thrill enough to him. Kitsune smiled, then said,
"So, you two are youkai then, right?" the two nodded, "So am i." She let her smile broaden, then she bit her cookie,
"What kind?" Jin asked, past a mouthful of cookie,
"I was supposed to be a kitsune, but, something happened when I was born and I ended out something different born to a kitsune pack, no one's really sure what the species is, but they pop up every now and again, they're very rare."
"Really?" Touya said, intrigued at what he was hearing
"yup." She said with a nod, "so, what're you guys?"
"Oh, species doesn't really matter at all does it?" Jin asked absently, then-not giving anyone a chance to answer-he said, "just know that I'm Jin the Wind Master. And this here's Touya the Ice Master. We're former Shinobi members."
"Really?! Awesome! Niisan told me about them, he said they were deadly mercinaries and that they were called ninjas by ningens. That's so cool that you guys were Shinobi!" she babbled happily, bouncing up and down a bit, Touya and Jin both smiled at the girl's excitement, "So, what're you doing here?"
"Oh, just chillin' out a bit." Jin said, looking at the sky, "it beat being in the Shinobi."
"Oh..." she said.

Kurama was finally allowed back into his room and was shocked to find his sister missing, then the shock quickly passed and he allowed himself to realize who he was thinking of at this time, it was his sister he was talking about, of course she'd abandoned ship when he was trying to kill her. But, he needed to find her, so, he enlisted Hiei's help, then called Yusuke and Kuwabara,
"But, don't bother searching for her ki, she can mask it perfectly. She looks almost exactly like me, and she'll most likely have some sort of sugary food with her, please, call me if you find her."
"You mean when we find her. Don't worry, Kurama, she's as good as home." Kuwabara said, then he hung up the phone,
"That baka still have a crush on you, Kurama?" Hiei asked lamely, already knowing the answer, (A/N: I agree with my and my cousin's friend Sammy, Kuwabara is GAY!!!!!! You don't believe me, fine, but that's what I think)
"Yea, it's disturbing. But, if he finds her, it'll be because she looked like me. ah, well, we'd better get going." Hiei nodded, then slipped out the window and onto the ledge outside the house, then he caught Kurama in his arms as the boy crawled out the window and flitted off.
