Chapter 11, Youko's Hard Core Love

A/N: Okay, have you noticed the chapter titles lately? Well, I decided to do that, and I'll probably doing so to all the chapters. Anyway, how are you all? Um, I'm just fine. Wow, it echoes in here. Echo, echo, echo… Wee… Anyway, in this chapter, they go to an enclosed park. It's basically a park like environment inside a building. Just so you'd know. Okay, now onto the long awaited chapter! And don't worry, the only reason I haven't updated is cause I lost the disk for a while, and now I have found it! Yeahy! You can expect chapter 12 in less then a week! This story is just getting warmed up!

Disclaimer: Okay, anyway, I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. My twin, Yume, owns herself, and well, yes, I do own Kiara. She is MY OC character, not myself. Okay? Okay.

Kiara woke up, sleepy headed and tired. Just, plain tired. If you really think about it, it was more then just plain drowsiness. She was worried, anxious, and for some reason, on her toes.

'What shall I indulge myself on this fine morning…?' After opening the curtains to find rain pouring as hard as it could, she took back what she thought. 'Okay... What shall I indulge myself on this bad morning?'

As if on cue, a car honked outside. 'Wait a minute… Last time this happened, Kurama was there…' Afraid of what she'd see, Kiara slowly turned to see the car that honked. She sighed in relief.

"Kiara! Come out and play!" Shippo shouted up to her, while Kagome waved at her from the drivers seat. Mylin and Yume stuck their heads out of the back window of the dodge neon and stuck their tongues out at her.

'Well, at least he's a fox... What is it with foxes and car horns...?'

"I'll be right out!" Kiara shouted out. She quickly changed into a pair of faded jeans and a t-shirt with the design of Taisho Corporation on it. She left her hair to cascade down her back, and didn't even bother with make up. Knowing her Aunt Kagome and little cousin Shippo, they would be heading to the nearest park, even in all the rain.

"Here I am!" she said as she hopped into the passenger seat, Shippo settling down on her lap.

"Finally!" Kagome reproved.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Kurama sighed as he followed Yuseke down to the pond. It wasn't that he didn't like being out with the detective on a rainy day to an inside park, but it was the fact that they were there at the new public property because of another mission. When he thought of all the things he could be doing about Kiara at the moment, it just made him want to cry. Actually, it made Youko want to cry.

"Er, Kurama, you've been quiet and sighing for the last, oh, I dunno, half an hour?" Yuseke interrupted. "How about you help me out and help me look for that energy signal already?"

The red head nodded, ignoring Youko's muttering of things he would do to the raven-haired boy when he got out. "Of course. I sense something coming from our right. Let us investigate it."

Yuseke just shrugged his shoulders and followed the avatars lead. "I think that's the way to the smaller, enclosed pond," he added helpfully. Kurama rewarded him with a smile.

And his smile just grew wider as they entered the clearing, seeing two very familiar figures.

Kiara finished her the enchantment and gazed at her handiwork. She grinned seeing the small kit's look at not seeing his tail where it belonged. "Shippo, you can't see it. We can't have you go out in public with your little tail and cute feet."

Shippo grumbled as he straightened the blue and green striped t-shirt he had on. But these sneakers feel… Weird!" he complained, kicking one foot up in the air to make his point, nearly ripping his jeans in the process.

Kagome gave her a reassuring smile and walked down the pathway that Yume and Mylin had disappeared onto. Kiara just sighed again, grabbed the small fox, and followed in her aunt's footsteps.

"Be nice, too Shippo. I don't want you to start using fox fire in the middle of a-," Kiara was saying to him, before she stopped in her tracks to see what Mylin, Yume, and Kagome were all staring at.

"Nice to see you too, Kiara," Kurama said, breaking the silence that had befallen them all.

'No use acting all innocent and good, Kurama,' Youko wryly informed his companion.

Kurama sighed, ignoring his elder's remark. It had been some time since they had all met up, exchanging pleasantries and such, but after a while, they had all gone their own ways. Yume, Mylin, and Yuseke had settled down on a bench to discuss different fighting techniques and each of their own battle experience. Shippo and Yume's mother, as well as Kiara's aunt, Kagome, were busy in a game of hide the chocolate. Kiara was off in her own little word, seeming to pick flowers from their beds at random to add to the few in her arm.

'Make talk. Make conversation. Tell her our intentions. Then you can take her into a secluded corner, rip off both of our clothe, then show her male dominance at it's highest,' Youko advised him eagerly.

"I did not just hear that."

Kurama turned around, not surprised to see the short fire demon behind him, his ruby eyes as wide as they possibly could get.

"You sick, sick, slut of the Makai."

"You hurt me, Hiei," Youko answered sarcastically through Kurama's lips, emerald eyes tinged with specks of gold. Taking the opportunity, Youko grinned, his smile showing on Kurama's face, and turned their face around to fix onto Kiara, who was just bending to pick a pink carnation from its bed. He then focused onto something a little more, er, private.

"Youko, get your eyes off of her breasts, you invertebrate whore," Hiei growled out, hand automatically reaching for his sword, "or I will slit your throat where you stand

"Whoa, don't do that! He's gone! He's gone!" Kurama said, holding out his hands in defense.

"Hn," Hiei muttered before disappearing.

Kurama sighed again. What was he to do with that little koorime? He shrugged his shoulders, ignoring another wave of lewd comments from Youko, casually walking over to stand next to Kiara, who was busy inspecting a daisy.

"I see you like flowers," Kurama commented, peering at the small bouquet she had already picked, resting in her arms.

'Oh... Instead of those flowers, she should be carrying our child, loving us, for filling our every desire…' Youko dreamily ranted, filling his mind with images of a happy home life, children, weddings.

"Oh, not necessarily," Kiara told him with a smile. "It's just that I thought I might go along with a silly girl's legend," she explained, blushing slightly at his intent gaze.

"Do tell," Kurama kindly asked of her, taking her empty hand in one of his own, leading her to another area of the garden.

Kiara blushed even brighter at the sudden physical contact between them.

'Dammit, I love it when she blushes!' both Youko and Kurama thought at the same time.

"Well, it's said that when you see a rainbow, if you pick seven different colors of flowers, then place them by your pillow when you sleep, you will dream of your true love," Kiara managed to stutter out, pointing at a rainbow to the west of their garden. "I was thinking that even an artificial rainbow could work." Then, as if realizing what she had told him, added, "but it's silly, I know."

Kurama smiled at this. She was so innocent, so pure, so cute as to be irresistible for his kitsune nature. "I don't think it's silly at all. Have you found all seven colors yet?" he inquired, peering and mentally tallying the flowers in his mind.

"No, I can't seem to find a red flower…" Kiara murmured, gazing sadly at her flowers. "It won't work without the red flower…"

Kurama smiled again, dazzling her yet again. It was his turn to shine now. He reached into his hair, only to present a surprised Kiara with a seed.

"What's-," Kiara began to say, but cut herself off as the small seed transformed slowly in front of her eyes into a magnificent rose. "Oh!" she said, her voice catching in her throat.

"For you," Kurama said, handing her the flower. Kiara almost reverently took the rose, adding it into the very center of her bouquet. Before she could voice her thanks, he added, "And also, for my future lover."
