~Disclaimer...I own *sniff* only three pieces of fudge left! It's running out! Must send Tamahome out for more! ^_~
(Quick A/N= someone said chapter three of my fic was messed up? Is anyone else having trouble with it? Cause it looked fine to me.)
Kitsune Delight
by Mistress Nika
Chapter Six
"Quick! Hide!"
Kurama nodded knowingly and Yusuke took a step away from him. Kagome watched as his youki flared and small wisps of silver began to fill the well house.
'He can't be.' Kagome thought to herself as she watched spellbound. In all her three hundred years she had only met one other like herself, and that one had been female. But there was no denying it. His scent was changing, and she recognized it as a male Jikan Kitsune. His youki was becoming frighteningly familiar. Everything pointed to one thing.
"Hey, what's in here?" a female voice interrupted from outside.
Kurama immediately stopped his transformation and spun around to face the door.
"That," Kagome heard her grandfather's voice say, "is the shrine that houses the Bone Eater's Well. The well itself is a..." His voice droned on and on, explaining the history and importance of the well.
"Yeah, that's great." the same female voice replied. "But can we see it?"
Kagome froze. What would happen if he said yes? She knew exactly what would happen. They would open the door to find two normal looking teenage boys and one demoness holding a demon baby while another clung to her neck. All of the occupants of the well house froze, waiting for the reply.
'Oh come on, grandpa!' Kagome silently prayed. 'Don't say yes. Don't say yes!'
"Yes, I suppose so." her grandfather's voice reached her sensitive ears.
"K'so!" Kagome cursed aloud, surprising Shippou who retook his usual position on her shoulder.
"Okaasan!" he scolded. "You shouldn't curse!"
"I know, Shippou-chan." she said quickly. "But this is kind of a desperate situation. We've got about a minute before we're discovered. Shippou, I know you're getting very good at illusions. Do you think you can take on a totally convincing human form, or do I need to help you?"
Shippou leapt to the ground and beamed up at her. "Nope!" he declared proudly. "I can do it all by myself!" And to prove this he quickly placed a transformation leaf on his forehead and with a small *poof!* he changed into a human version of himself. He kept his overall appearance, only making himself slightly taller, but made sure his tail, pointed ears and fangs disappeared.
"That's great!" Kagome praised him. "Now it's my turn." And with those words spoken she regained her human form and clothes. But she also used her power to cast an illusion over the sleeping baby in her arms, making him appear completely human as well. Then she turned to the two boys watching her. "I believe you." she said quickly. "I sensed the truth in his transformation, but whatever you want from me will have to wait. I have a plan. My name is Higurashi Kagome. May I ask yours?"
Kurama spoke first and bowed to her. "My name is Kurama." he said politely. "Though my human name is Minamino Shuuichi."
"I'm Yusuke." the other said, following suit. "Urameshi Yusuke."
Kagome nodded and motioned to first Shippou and then the baby in her arms. "These are my kits, Shippou and...um...Satoru!"
Suddenly the door to the well house was pulled opened and bright sunlight streamed in. Four sets of eyes blinked confusedly into the semidarkness at those within.
"Kagome?" her grandfather's voice called down the stairs. "Is that you?"
"Yeah," she called back weakly, "it's me, jiichan."
"Kagome!?" one of the girls cried. "What are you doing out of bed!? Isn't your anemia acting up? Who's in there with you!?"
Kurama and Yusuke both quirked an eyebrow at her and Yusuke said disbelievingly quiet, "Anemia?"
"Heh-heh." Kagome returned sheepishly and then looked back up at her three friends. "Yuka, Eiri, Ayumi. Good to see you. Um, yeah, well, I'm feeling a little better, so I was just showing Shuuichi-kun and Yusuke-kun the well house."
Upon hearing their names the girls quickly turned their attention to the two boys standing awkwardly in the darkened well house.
"Ooh!" Yuka said to her friends. "It's those boys from before!"
Ayumi giggled back, "Yeah. And just as cute as before too!"
Eiri looked at Kagome and asked, "Aren't you going to introduce us to your friends?"
"Yeah!" Yuka gushed, "Which one is your boyfriend!?"
Kagome blushed ten shades of red and cried, "Neither of them! They're just...friends of the family who are visiting the shrine." She walked forward until she was even with the two boys and motioned with one hand as she spoke. "This is Minamino Shuuichi. And this is Urameshi Yusuke."
Both boys bowed and greeted them, which set them tittering again. It was at that moment that one of her friends noticed that Kagome had something in her arms, and that there was a young boy who looked about five clinging to her leg.
"Kagome?" Ayumi asked carefully, "What have you got? And who's that little cutie?"
Kagome glanced down at Shippou and realized there was a flaw in her hastily devised plan. "A..ano..." she stammered. "He's...e.eto... I mean, I've got...umm..." Suddenly an idea hit her and she began faking a coughing fit.
She felt Shippou cling more tightly to her leg and since he looked so concerned she spared a quick wink at him to tell him she was alright. He quickly caught on. Apparently so did Yusuke and Kurama, because they each grabbed an arm to help steady her.
"Kagome!" her friends cried in fear and rushed down the steps toward her.
But she stopped them with an outstretched hand. "Don't worry." she said in between fake coughs. "There's a lot of dust in here and it's irritating my lungs."
"Oh my!" Yuka exclaimed. "Let us get you out of here then!"
"No, no!" Kagome protested. "I'll be fine, and I hate to pull you away from your field trip. Shuuichi-kun and Yusuke-kun will help me inside. You three go on back to your class. I'll bet sensei is wondering where you are."
They didn't look totally convinced but luckily her grandfather stepped in at that moment. "Don't worry!" he said knowingly, "She'll be just fine once she gets her inhaler!" He quickly began ushering them out of the well house while saying, "It's her lungs now, poor thing. So young and yet so frail! Why, I'll be amazed if she lasts out the year!"
"Jiichan!" she groaned after they had left. "Why can't you just tell them I have a cold or something!?"
"I take it this happens a lot?" Yusuke questioned with a smirk.
Kagome chuckled and replied, "Yeah. Why don't we go inside and we can all do a little explaining."
_________________________________________________________________________________
(A/N) Sorry it's so short. I just wanted you to know I'm alive and didn't forget about this fic. I was just a bit stuck. I feel like I've described WAY too many transformations for only six chapters, and I was dreading describing this one. So I got kinda...um...lazy. But then, while making breakfast, I suddenly had the idea to interupt his transformation so she doesn't realize he's the famous Youko Kurama just yet! ^^ Well, I know it's short and I know it's not what you were expecting, but it's what you got. So enjoy it! I command you! *does wavy, hypnotizing hand thing* You will like it....I command you...you will like it... @__@

Not to mention a few clips I've downloaded here and there....mostly of Sesshoumaru. ^^ I'm poor too. But I'm a Kazaa girl! *grins maniacally* *several little red demons with horns and holding pitchforks point at her* [Demons: There she is!! Get her!! {Nika: O_O Oops!! Gotta go! Ja for now! *runs off cackling* You'll never take me alive! I'll never go back to that white place in the clouds! It's too pure! There's no bishys freaking like bunnies up there! There's no innocents to corrupt! There's no Bakura chained to my wall! There's no MURAKI!!! *kicks a tortured soul off into a pit of lava as she runs by* [Tortured Soul: O.o Ahhhhh!!!! [Demons: Oh great! There won't be a hell left by the time we catch her! *sees her running towards a giant black castle* O__O PROTECT THE MASTER!!! Oh, we're gonna DIE!!!
greeneydgrl74: ^__^ I'm glad you're glad!
Sunbeam1: Thanks! I thought it was pretty funny too. Just imagine what he could do with a camcorder! O_o Note to self: keep Miroku away from modern technology...or give it to him by the truckload! ^^
Snowfire the Kitsune: Thanks! Yeah, kick the cadaver does fit. Thanks for letting me use it! ^^
Anonymous: Yeah, but they're so easy to write. ^-^
badgerwolf: Thanks! I'm glad so many people like her this way! Hmm...you know, I never even thought of it but, yeah Souta must be so adorably adorable as a kitsune! ^^ I'm glad you liked the Inu/Kouga/Miroku/camera scene so much! ^___^ *is infinately happy* I really recommend Yuu Yuu Hakusho! It's such a good anime! And so many bishys... *drools on her keyboard and shorts it out* O_O Gah! *sparks fly* Ouch! *continues typing as it electrocutes her* Ack! yeah, YOUCH!!

Kay Kylo: Kikyou plushies are good to vent on! And there's never a shortage because no one really wants them! ^^ *hands her a Naraku plushie this time* Here you go! Some people like to vent on them too, but I prefer to cuddle it as I sleep and dream of a certain evil raven-haired bishounen! ^__^ Do as you please with it!
keiman and kei: Thanks and uh... chapter three looks fine to me. No one else has complained that it's screwed up. Maybe it's your computer? And I appreciate the tutorial but I have eighteen fics up and have been a member since May of last year. So I think I know how to alter my fics. Thanks for your review! ^__^ Look forward to hearing from you again!
blue fox demon: LOL, don't worry. I wasn't planning on any Sess/Inu in this fic! And the shounen-ai will just be a backdrop, mostly cause I don't wanna see Inu stuck with the walking corpse. Though it will make for some cute moments between them! (=^.^=) And Kurama is indeed paired with Kagome and will stay that way. Though I may hint at some past romance between he and Hiei, basically because they are my all time favorite anime couple.
SilverKnight7: Here's the update!
magical-miracle-girl: Thanks. And believe me, the thought of a 300+ Kagome gives ME the creeps! And I'M the one writing it! *shudders*
watergoddesskasey: Thanks! I'm glad my fic almost caused you to lose bladder control! LOL
BelleDayNight: ^___^ YAY!!! I love Sess-chan too! After all, he's my mate. ^_^ But don't kill me for saying that because my clone machine went on a rampage and cloned every anime character in the world a million times over! Who knows where the real one is! Oh, and be on the look out for an army of Kougas. Apparantly they all joined forces to find Kagome and are destroying everything in their wake! ^^
Killiara: Yay! The fwiend song rocks! Yep! I can be terrifyingly hyper! *randomly gropes Kouga* Sure, you can help me chase the bishys! Icepick labotomys for all! *grabs a spork with Neko-chan written on it and tosses it to her* Here you go! I had one made up especially for you! Look, it's even got a flag that pops out of the bottom when you plant the top in someone that says "Death to Creepy Keeky!"
KAgome: Um...okay.
Kylio: Thank you! That's the pairings I had in mind! ^^ Um, I think I missed your review last chapter. If so, I appologize. I was just looking my reviews over and I found one from you that I don't think I'd read. So, gomen. Well, to respond to naming the baby "Osuwari" I never thought of that, but that is so hilarious!! Maybe I'll have her tell everyone back in Sengoku Jidai that's his name! LOL That is such a good idea! *glomps Kylio and hands over a Shippou plushie*
