"Hiei, Kurama, please eat! If you don't….. I'll turn off the tv!"
"No! Don't do that Miss Amy! We'll eat!"
"Three more things. One: Hiei, give me your sword. Good boy. Two: Kurama, I believe you owe Rikora a rose."
"Why, yes I do. I'll give it to her immediately. Hiei could you tell me what I miss?"
"Okay well right now, Kevin is proposing to Angela but Angela said she was hurt and that he wouldn't know anything about that."
"Kevin! No!"
"You two and your soap operas. I don't see how you can stand it."
"Hello, Miss Rikora. I have something for you."
"Really? Well then thank you! What is it?"
Kurama presented the rose with a little modesty. Just for Rikora, he got her a black rose.
"A black rose! Thank you Kurama! I'm speechless. I mean its beautiful and-"
"I thought you were speechless!" Amy yelled.
"I know how much you like black roses. It took me a while to find one."
"You could have gone to a flouriest, Kurama. All flouriest have black roses."
"If I had, the rose wouldn't have any sentimental value. A store- bought flower means nothing. If you pick the flower yourself, you put a little bit of yourself into the flower. You see?"
Rikora, Amy, and myself just stared at Kurama. The expression on our faces were like, "Yeah uh huh, I don't quiet get it."
"Well, I tried to explain it to you."
"No, we get it Kurama. Kurama, um I was wondering if I could have a hug?"
"Of course, Miss. Rikora."
Kurama walked up to Rikora and gave her the biggest hug his little body could manage. Legato was in the background with a jealous face. It was such a cozy picture. In fact, it was a Kodak moment.
"Amy, go get the camera. Quick!"
"Why me?"
"Just go get the darn thing!"
As she walked, I could her mutter, "I have to do everything."
When she got back a minute later, Kurama and Rikora were still locked in each other's arms. I think Kurama wanted out, but Rikora wouldn't let him go.
We took the picture, I might ass that it was an adorable picture. As soon as the flash went off, Rikora let an uncomfortable looking Kurama go.
After a minute or two, Kurama asked Amy and me if we wanted a hug. We said yes and gave Kurama a quick hug. He seemed very that the hugs were brief.
We thanked Kurama again and let him go back to his soap.
As soon as we turned around a whole troop of little boys were looking up at us with their arms full of gifts for the three of us.
Vash brought guns just like his, Knives brought us Angel arms, Hiei gave us swords, Kuwabara have us spirit swords, Sesshomaru gave us fluff, Inuyasha brought us fake Tetsusaigas, Miroku brought staffs, Conan brought detective hats and cloaks, Kiba gave us little wolf statues, Jin gave us little cyclones in a bottle, Touya gave us ice shards that were guaranteed not to melt, Chu gave us sunflowers, Sakio have us lighters with his initials on it, Karasu gave us metal masks like his, Shippou gave us fox babies, Kouga gave us wolf pups from his clan, Wolfwood gave us little confessionals and crossguns, Legato gave us white cloaks like his and was very happy when Rikora gave him a kiss on the cheek, and Yuske, finally, gave us spirit wave orbs.
We thanked the boys and tried to find a place to put the gifts.
All of the boys headed back to the girls.
As soon as we left, we heard Inuyasha's voice holler, "Back off! Do you remember the restraining order?!"
"Well yes, but I love her."
After that, we all knew that Kouga was trying to hit on Kagome again. He wasn't very good at it either.
Rikora, Amy, and I all took one of the kids. Rikora took Kagome, Amy took Inuyasha, and I took Kouga. Amy touched Inuyasha's ears while she was holding him and giggled when they twitched.
"Inuyasha, when will you learn to play nice? I mean, you play nice, just not with Kouga."
He softly whispered, "I've known Kagome longer, and I love her more thank he does. We've been through a lot together and I'm not going to let that wolf spoil it!"
"I have an idea! How about you, Kouga and Kagome work out some of your issues together. So that you and Kagome will still fight, because that's what brings you two together, but you and Kouga can lean to be friends."
"Alright, I'll it, but if it doesn't work out, you'll owe me a bow and arrow sets for Kagome. They have to be made of the finest wood you find."
"Okay, it's a deal, but you have to try your hardest to make this truce work. I'll tell you, if you make the friendship work, I'll get Kagome a bow and arrows and I'll give you a quarter. Okay?"
"Okay it's a deal!"
'I'm going to have to get a quarter from Michelle's purse too.' Amy thought as she sweat dropped.
After Amy and Inuyasha were finished talking, Inuyasha came over and apologized to Kouga. I put Kouga down so that they could shake hands and talk. Rikora put Kagome, thankfully as she was almost falling, and all three kids talked and played peacefully. (Hallelujah)
