Hey, ya'll I've started a new fic because I've always wanted to write this pairing. It is going to be a Kuronue and Kagome pairing. If you haven't ever seen what Kuronue looks like, you must by the Yu Yu Hakusho movie Poltergeist Report. It shows what he looks like and he is quite hot. So, anyway, even if you haven't seen him, he looks like a normal youkai, with wings on his back. He usually wears black clothing and a black tattered hat. His eyes are purple and he is always carrying a jewel pendant which he always swings.

So anyway, my story is an A/U. Kagome grows up in the Makai as a half-kitsune half-bat youkai, along with Hiei, who is her stealing partner. She also has a small group of thieves, but to know who they are, please read the story. All will be explained in the story. So, anyway, please read and respond.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha, but I sssssssssooooooooooo wish I did. Doesn't everybody?

Queen Of Thieves

Chapter 1

The Band of Thieves

Feared...Hated...Loved; that's all she ever heard about herself. She was called the Queen of Thieves and believe me she didn't gain the title by sitting around on her ass. No, she worked hard; well as hard as being a thief could be, earning her a very prominent reputation in the Makai and youkai society. Nobody but a select few ever heard her name and lived to tell the tale about it and no one had ever seen her true form, though some who have claimed to see her, say she has the beauty and grace of a goddess.

For as long as she could remember she'd been on her own, her parents dying at a young age and leaving her to be on her own. She'd been found by a group of traveling demon bandits that had treated her like crap. But through her experience with the bandits she did learn very quickly how to steal and prey upon many lesser demons. It is also where she met her first true friend, Hiei, who just like her, had been abandoned after his mother was killed. He protected her from the bandits until the day they'd both escaped with enough money and jewels to by their own little place.

For many years they lived in peace, as Kagome learned to fight and steal from this ruthless but protective killer named Hiei. He and Kagome grew very close and formed a strong family bond as they trained together. It wasn't until Kagome was about ten, that they'd met another outcast who soon became apart of their little family. His name was Inuyasha and he'd been cast out of his father's castle after his human mother had been killed. They'd stumbled upon him half-dead after coming back from a steal and Kagome had convinced Hiei to take the hanyou with them.

Inuyasha became Kagome's second friend as she slowly opened him up. He learned to steal and fight also, but he was mostly content to be the look out whenever Kagome and Hiei took on larger missions. Often times the three children could be found sitting contentedly on the roof of their small cabin, gazing at the stars and dreaming of a better future.

It wasn't long that their little group of three added two more members, consisting of Kouga and Ayame from the wolf demon tribe. They had been the last surviving members of their clan after a long and vicious battle with the Birds of Paradise. Their welcome hadn't been all that warm as the first time Kouga laid eyes on Kagome he'd called her his woman. But eventually both Ookami youkai had been accepted after realizing how tightly Kouga was controlled by Ayame.

Sango was next, along with her fire-cat Kilala. Sango was a neko youkai who had watched as her whole tribe had been ripped to pieces by a strange half-breed, who then proceeded to steal her little brother and turn him into a mind slave. Sango had come to them a broken and cold woman, but over the years she and Kagome had grown quite close, and thought of each other as sisters. She and Hiei also had a small problem, consisting of the fact that they couldn't stand to be in the same room for more than five minutes with each other.

And so by the time Kagome turned 20, her little group had grown considerably, as they'd gained some powerful allies. Sesshomaru, after realizing what had happened to his half-brother, (AN: he wasn't there when Inuyasha's mother was killed so he didn't know. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha will get along...well sorta'.) contacted them and recruited their small band of misfits to work for him as assassins and thieves.

Shippo and Shiori were the last two to join their little group. Kagome had found Shippo after discovering him crying and alone after his parents were killed by the Thunder Brothers for sport. Kagome had taken him with her and eventually adopted the little kit. Shiori was last, and a little hanyou bat-demon who'd lost her father a long time ago. Her mother had been killed after sending Shiori away. And Kagome adopted her as well, though Shiori also has a close bond with Inuyasha since they both share a similar past being hanyous.

And so now Kagome was turning 21. She and the rest of the gang now lived and worked underneath Sesshomaru's castle in their own secret hideout where they worked. Her group now consisted of 8 demons alike and each had their own area of expertise.

Kagome and Hiei were the runners meaning they were the ones who actually pulled off all their steals and missions.

Inuyasha was look out on their missions.

Sango was a spy, as she traveled around Makai learning about various new artifacts to steal. She traveled with Kilala and both were also highly skilled fighters.

Sesshomaru was their support. He provided payment and various equipment that they needed to go over their information.

Shiori usually stayed behind and wasn't involved with the heists, while Kagome used Shippo as a distraction if they ever needed to get past guards.

Kouga and Ayame were the researchers of the group. They were required to study and learn about everything that Sango could find and then report to Kagome, Sesshomaru, or Hiei about their findings.

And so these are our thieves, who had recently become quite well known and feared. No one knew who they were or what they looked like, and the group liked to keep it that way. And it stayed that way until one fateful day.

Kagome sat in a dark room, pulling her hair into a braid and then tying it up in a bun. She sat in front of the mirror pulling on all her dark clothing as she readied herself for yet another mission.

She was just pulling on her black cloak when someone appeared at her right side, silent as ever. Kagome smirked at her reflection, watching him in her mirror.

"Hello, Hiei," she whispered softly.

"Hn," he nodded to her in greeting.

She rolled her eyes at his normal reply. "Hiei do you ever say anything else?" she teased him.

"Only when there is someone worth speaking to," he replied smirking slightly, folding his arms across her chest.

"Hey," she pouted turning around to gaze at her oldest and best friend. "That's not very nice."

"What's your point?" He shrugged his shoulders, as he struggled to keep from smiling. "So are you ready?" he asked.

She nodded. "Yep, how do I look?" she asked standing up and looking down at herself.

"As you always do," he replied dryly. "Dark."

She rolled her eyes, but smiled anyway. She knew she looked good. Her black leather pants were hugging her hips low and tight as her black tank top reached to underneath her belly button. She wore a black trench coat, just like Hiei's over top her clothes. Her hair was long and wavy, with emerald streaks and tips. Her ears were blue/black and tipped in green, as well as her seven tails. Her eyes were a silver-blue lined in gold and she wore a black choker around her slim neck. What were most interesting were the black bat wings that graced her back. She was half-kitsune half-bat demon and she had a mixture of both features; thus the black wings.

With assessing eyes, she looked him over. He looked the same as he always did, wearing his ever present cloak. She smiled wistfully as she remembered how she had begged and pleaded with Hiei to buy her a black cape exactly as his. She remembered the day of her 11th birthday when he presented her, her very own cloak.

"Come on woman, what are you think about now?" he asked exasperatedly.

"Nothing Hiei," she answered before wiping her pleasant smile off her face, her normal expressionless mask once again in place. Hiei and a select few were the only ones who ever saw her truly smile. "Let's go!" she ordered.

"Hn," he responded following after the youkai woman.

It was night time now as two shadowy figures cloaked their way through the darkness towards their predetermined destination.

"Do you sense anything?" the one in black asked his partner, tugging at the rim of his tattered hat.

A second figure slid to his friend's side and both peered out from behind the bushes. "No, I think the coast is clear," the other male whispered back.

"Good."

"Let's go," the man in white urged. He was about to step out of the hiding place before a blur of orange and red ran by. Thinking quickly the youkai in black pulled his friend out of the path and back into the safety of the trees.

"Stop right there!"

For a moment the two thieves thought they'd been spotted until the guards passed right by them without a second glance.

The two sighed in relief.

"Yoko what was that?" the youkai in black asked turning to his old friend.

"Kuronue, do I look like I know?" Yoko asked, glaring at his nails. "Great, now we'll have to wait a while before the guards go back to sleep."

Kuronue chuckled at his friend. "Yes, but just think of the reward at the end of the wait," he reminded his partner.

Yoko began to smirk cockily and went to say something before the orange blur ran by their hiding place again. This time the blur stopped and both youkai could clearly make out the blur's true form. Both were surprised to see a small kitsune pup stop in his tracks, his nose twitching slightly. His eyes were searching as he stood stock still, listening for something. Suddenly the young pup smirked before speeding away again as two huffing and puffing Reikai guards chased after him.

"Hahahahahahaha," the kit laughed darting every which way and that. "You can't catch me!" he stuck his tongue out at the slow guards as they tried in vain to catch him.

Kuronue smirked at his old friend, laughing under his breath. "Remind you of anyone?" he asked, amused at the little kitsune's antics.

Yoko too began smirking as he observed the young kit. The kit was running all over the place for the next hour until he finally lost the guards and stopped to catch his breath. Kuronue and Yoko crept closer as the kit began to speak.

"Kaa-san better hurry up before these guards find me," he whispered to himself.

Mother? Both partners thought.

"There you are, you little punk," a voice cried from out of nowhere and picked the kit up.

Shippo looked up in fear as the two guards from earlier held him upside down by his tail. He began squirming and flailing his arms. "Hey, let me go!!!" he screamed. "When my mother hears about this she'll make you pay!!!!"

The two guards laughed before throwing the kit to the ground as Kuronue and Yoko watched in growing horror. "Kitsune bi!" Shippo cried, but the attack had little effect on the two Reikai guards.

"So, little demon, you think your mother will save you now," one man laughed cruelly grabbing Shippo in one hand and squeezing the bones in his little body.

"AAAAHHHH!" Shippo screamed as his bones began to crack from the strain of the man's hand. Tears fell from his eyes as he began crying and gasping for breath. "Mamma...Mamma!" he cried over and over again.

Yoko and Kuronue were so steamed that they were about to go save the little boy from such a cruel fate, but were stopped in their tracks as an enraged scream lit through the sky.

They both shivered as the temperature dropped before shooting way up, and a moment later a black blur sped by and grabbed Shippo out of the guard's hands and set him on the tree branch next to Kuronue and Yoko.

"Hiei!?" they both whispered at the same time.

"I don't have time for this. Watch him for me and you better not let anything happen to him or his mother will kill us all!" Hiei stated.

Kuronue began to scoff. "Please, Hiei, we know enraged mothers can go crazy over their children, but seriously?"

Their laughter dropped off as they noticed Hiei smirking coldly and gazing at something flying in quickly from the South.

"She is here," he whispered before darting away to meet the approaching figure.

"Mother," the kit whispered drowsily.

Kuronue and Yoko glanced down at the tiny kit. "Hey, kid, that's your mother?" Yoko asked his eyes trained on the encroaching female.

Shippo smiled in his sleep and nodded. "Uh, huh."

"SSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" a female voice screamed and glanced around trying to spot her precious kit. Finding his energy signal she sped over to the branch, landing right beside Kuronue making him jump back into Yoko.

"Momma!" The kit instantly darted up and sped into the woman's arms. When the two bandits got a good look at her they gasped at what they saw. She was...she was gorgeous. She was tall and elegantly dressed with her hair in a bun. She had kitsune ears and tails with green tips, while on her back her wings were fluttering with suppressed rage. She was terrifyingly beautiful.

The happy reunion was cut short as Hiei's rough voice, cut threw. "Onna, don't you have something to take care of?" he asked pointedly, nodding towards the two Reikai guards who were now fearing for their lives.

"Yes, thank you, Hiei," she whispered coldly, all traces of happiness gone from her face. She glanced at Yoko and Kuronue and nodded at them for protecting her kit and jumped down from the tree.

She walked to stand next to Hiei as the two old friends glared at the men who'd dared attack Kagome's son. "I can take care of this," she whispered to Hiei who merely nodded before disappeared and materializing once again next to Kuronue and Yoko.

It was over before it even started. One minute the guards were there, the next they were screaming tears of pain as Kagome threw ice ball after ice ball at them until both guards were frozen from the outside in and stood as frozen statues. Kagome slowly walked up to the frozen victims and stared boredly at them, before smirking. "That's what you get for touching what's mine," she whispered before flicking her wrist and destroying the ice statues.

She was startled out of her vengeful trance when she heard the sound of clapping coming from behind her. She turned to spot Hiei, standing with two unknown demons and her kit. Hiei was clapping mockingly, while the two strange demons stared at her in shock.

"Gees woman, I knew you were harsh, but not that harsh," Hiei smirked.

"Oh, please," Kagome waved her hand flippantly, before shooting him a mocking smile. "Compared to you, Hiei...never."

"Whatever you say, onna," he replied.

She turned to Shippo who was sitting on Hiei's shoulder. "Are you all right, Shippo?" she asked him.

"Yeah, momma," he replied, looking kind of sheepish.

Kagome frowned. "Shippo, what's wrong?" she asked, pulling him off of Hiei's black shoulder and cuddling him lovingly. She kissed his nose and cheek.

"I'm sorry momma, I didn't mean for you to get delayed."

She smiled soothingly at her son, brushing his hair gently out of the way. "Its okay, Shippo-chan, things went better than expected. We got everything we came for. WE can go home now."

"You mean you go it momma?" he asked excitedly. At this Kuronue and Yoko became interested, their eyebrows rising dramatically.

"Um, excuse me...it?" Kuronue interrupted.

Kagome turned to the two demons. "Who are you?" She asked tightening her hold on Shippo.

"Yoko Kurama!" Yoko answered huskily, holding out his hand. "And this is my friend and partner, Kuronue. Who are you?"

Kagome's eyes widened as she took Yoko's hand. She'd heard of them both. She'd often thought about asking them to join her entourage but had no idea where to look. "Kagome," she replied still staring in wonder. "And this is my kit Shippo and my partner, Hiei."

"Partner?" the two asked glancing curiously at the fire apparition.

Kuronue smirked at Hiei. "Since when do you travel with a partner?" he asked.

"Hn," he shrugged not even bothering to reply. That was his and Kagome's business only.

Kagome glanced confusedly at the three demons. "Hiei, do you know them?" she asked. He met her eyes and nodded and her jaw dropped.

"How long were you going to keep this from me!" she gasped.

He growled. "Onna, it never came up. I knew them a long time ago, before I even met you and you know my past before I met you was less than pleasant."

Kagome glanced down ashamed, that she would forget he'd had a much longer life than her. But sometimes it was hard to remember because they'd been together so long. She couldn't remember a time when he hadn't been with her. "I'm sorry, Hiei," she apologized, softening her face and throwing her arms around his short frame. The two demon bandits stared in shock as the emotionless demon of their past allowed the woman to touch him, let alone hug him.

Of course this is Hiei, and he never is good with public displays of affection, so after a minute or so he pushed her away.

"So what are you doing here then?" Kuronue asked Kagome, looking her over. She was very pretty and half of his species.

"What else? Stealing," she shrugged.

"You're a thief?" He asked, suspiciously.

"Yeah," she growled stepping closer to him. "What's it to ya'?"

"Nothing, it's just that you're a woman." He clapped a hand to his mouth. Shit. Had he really said that out loud?

Shippo and even Hiei gasped. "Uh, oh," Shippo whispered out loud. "He didn't."

Hiei began to laugh ominously. "Kuronue, old friend, you've just sealed your fate," he supplied what everyone was thinking. Even Yoko had taken a step back from the enraged female youkai.

"I, uh, I'm sorry," Kuronue stuttered drawing away from her. "I didn't mean it like that."

Kagome was still growling now, but it had died down a little as she took finally got a good look at him. And boy was she surprised. She'd heard that both Yoko and Kuronue were handsome, but this...this youkai standing in front of her was downright gorgeous. He was a bat demon, like her. He was wearing all black and had a tattered back hat sitting atop his head. He had black wings aligned with his back exactly like hers. His wings were twitching slightly with nervousness, which made her want to reach out and touch them. Kagome began to blush realizing where her thoughts were going, as her tails began waving slightly with her feelings.

"Uh, that's okay," she finally whispered, stepping away from him. "We all say thing we don't mean. So do you want to come with us?"

"What?" Yoko asked at the suddenness of the question.

"Where?" Kuronue asked, after realizing he wasn't about to die.

Kagome turned to the kitsune bat, before exchanging a glance with her partner. Hiei shrugged at her silent question. "We have a hide out under ground," Kagome explained. "We can go and talk there and we can explain some things to you."

Yoko and Kuronue both looked stumped at what to do before Kagome held her head and growled.

"Hiei, we must go, everyone is waiting for us. We have what we came for and Sesshou says to get our asses back. Something has come up with 'you know who'." Hiei's eyes widened, before nodding. Kagome turned back to the two demon thieves. "You may follow us if you would like, or not, it's your decision, but we must go."

She placed Shippo on her back and spread her wings jumping into the sky with Hiei hot on her trail.

"Well?" Yoko turned to his friend, but found Kuronue gone as he, for some reason unknown to him, had the sudden urge to follow Kagome into the air. Yoko sighed to himself before picking up Hiei's scent and quickly racing after him.

So anyway, what did you guys think? Sorry, to all her are waiting to hear about Miroku, but I don't believe I'll put him in here. I can make Sango a demon and I want her to be with Hiei, so I don't think I'll put Miro in here, even though I love him. Anyway, the pairings will be as follows:

Kuronue/Kagome

Sango/Hiei (as time progresses)

Kouga/Ayame

I might make up pairings for Yoko, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha, but if I do that I'd have to bring in more people. If I did do those pairings I would make up my own characters for Sesshou and Inu. As for Yoko, the only person I like pairing him with is Kagome. So if I make him have a mate, it'll have to be with both Kagome and Kuronue. But for now, you guys can vote and tell me what you'd like me to do with these three hunks. Anyway, review and thanks for reading.

Sincerely,

Kura-kun's-lovr
