Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, but I do hold ownership over the OC Gem... actually my friend kimpfn does but right now she's my OC.
I am sooooooooooooooooo sorry for not updating for almost 3 months TT. Plz don't hate me for it. I've just been a little busy with fanart requests but now I'm definitely gonna update. So yea here goes again.
"God damn, what hit me?" The fox asked himself sitting up and placing a hand upon the slightly swollen spot on his head.
Much to his surprise, he wasn't sleeping outside like he expected. He was almost certain that she would throw him out after discovering his true identity. Most thought that thieves belonged in the cold for the cold matched their heart in their minds.
But this girl had Yoko more confused than he had ever been in his life. She was keeping him near a warm fire, giving him an area to sleep, and even left him a small meal and a drink.
Maybe she doesn't know who I am. Then I could act as if I'm someone else.
Even though the kitsune was used to eating food that wasn't his and taking whatever meal he could find, he was feeling reluctant about eating this one.
This food is just sitting here and I can't come to eat it... probably cause it feels wrong. She's already done too much for me, I can't just take something from her. What's wrong with me!? Have I lost my thieving instincts? No, but I just can't for some strange reason. C... could I be developing feelings for another... no, I'm a thief, I have no feelings and she'd never have any feelings for me.
His stomach slightly growled but he still wouldn't eat.
I may be a thief but I still have respect. I won't eat this, she's done too much for me and that's all she has to do. I'll leave now and never have to return... but if she's alright with it then I'd like to stay... I mean this could be a new start for me. But I won't think about that because it may not be o.k. with her to have a thief in her house... although it would be nice not having to run anymore.
"Good morning sleepy head." The girl happily chided walking into the room.
"Oh, um... hello." Yoko quickly stuttered.
"You don't like wolf meat?" She asked noticing the plate still full of food.
"No, it's not that it's... never mind. By the way, what did you hit me with, two ton bag of rocks?"
"Oh yea that. I'm sorry, I saw a shadow and the only other living creature here, besides me, was the small fox. Before I knew it, I had hit the fox over the head and didn't realize that you were both the same creature."
"What book did you use?!"
The girl pointed to the table next to the couch and the fox almost passed out again. The book must have been four to five inches thick.
"No wonder I have a headache... do you seriously read that?"
"No, I just have it around incase I have to translate something. You know makai stuff is written in Japanese OR English, never both."
"Good point." He answered still looking at the book and rubbing his head.
"Now it's my turn to ask a question... are you really the infamous Yoko Kurama?"
Damnit, she recognized me. Now she's definitely gonna throw me out.
"I'll be going now. I'm sorry to have bothered you and I swear I haven't stolen anything." He stated emotionlessly.
"What do you mean? You don't have to go."
"What?"
"I was actually wondering..." The female started. She could feel a lump building in her throat.
It won't fucking kill you, just ask him if he'd like to stay around or not and if he says no, oh well. You've made it this far on your own.
"I was wondering if you'd like to stay?"
"Really?!" The fox asked with a little excitement in his voice. Realizing how dumb he must have sounded he calmed himself down to where he could talk again. He let out a small cough and continued, "Why would you want a bandit in this house? Aren't you scared that I'll murder you."
"Well, that's just a risk I'll have to take right?"
She honestly means it.
A friendly smile was spread upon the girls face.
I really hope he says yes.
"Well I really don't know where my pack is right now and it's a little pointless to go off on my own, I mean that would leave me defenseless... so I guess the answer would have to be yes."
"Alright then, welcome home Yoko." The blue-eyed girl happily said before she turned to go into the kitchen.
Home. The male thought to himself happily.
The word echoed through his head and sounded warm, safe. Being as he was, he'd never had a place to call home. Now that he had and it felt wonderful. A smile crossed his face, probably the first smile he'd ever made. Yoko had found a place to stay.
"Home." He quietly said under his breath. His smile broadened and he followed the girl. Alright, I know what you're thinking... "I HAD TO WAIT ALL THAT TIME FOR THAT!?" Like I said earlier, I'm SOOOOOOOOO sorry. I swear I'm trying to write more but it's summer and my mother likes to make me do loads of chores on vacation. But I'm working on it. I won't try to wait as long next time. So plz all the ppl who like reading this story, don't hate me... passes out free cookies and soda to everyone Like I said I am SO sorry. TT
