Humorous hardships ch 2

Oh where oh where did my ownership go, Oh where oh where could it be... I never had it.

"what did you say?" Kurama's mother asked, never losing her loving tone.

"I was wondering if Kuronue could stay with us. He probably just got into Ningenkai, so he wouldn't have an apartment or job yet. Heck he hasn't even been alive but half an hour. Please could he stay here? Just for a little while mother." He knew she couldn't say no at this point.

"Yes, Shuiichi he can. It's alright by me but your father may be a different story. You know how he is with guests."

"Yes I know. How about I suggest he get a job as soon as he can disguise himself and rent a room? He wouldn't mind that would he."

"Well judging by the way they are talking, he probably would allow something like that." Shiori looked over at the two. It seemed as though the father was done explaining baseball and they were watching some on TV. Kuronue looked uninterested and rather bored.

The team they, or rather the one paying attention, was cheering for got a home run and both cheered, only one wasn't as enthusiastic as a normal fan would be. Kurama stood up and walked over.

"Father? I have a favor to ask."

"What is it?"

"Well Kuronue having been alive for only a little while has no place to stay. Well not where I can keep in contact with him. But I was wondering if he could possibly stay with. Us. Just until he can get an apartment?"

"How long will this be?"

"That's up to Kuronue." Kuronue was, at this time, paying full attention.

"I just need a disguise and then to get a job and save money, it would be a month at the most I think." he thought aloud.

"I guess so but I want to see that he's saving money from time to time. I won't have a free loader."

"Thank you so much." Kurama said

"Your welcome. But he can't stay in your room. I don't want to walk in on any unpleasant surprises."

Little Shuiichi jumped up. "What kind of surprises. Tell me! I want to play. Can we play?" he asked being crazy.

"Uh maybe when your older."

"But why?"

"Just because." Shuiichi looked downcast at this.

"Well let me get my wallet and I will go help him buy clothes."

"I can't go out like this." Kuronue said pointing to his wings.

"I had an idea. Something that will work long enough at least to get you a change of clothes."

"Well if nothing else we should do that. I want out of this. It dirty and torn." He commented.

"Ok I don't know how well this will work. You trust me?"

"Of course Kurama!" he exclaimed back at his friend and dear lover.

"Ok now here." he pulled a ponytail holder out of his pocket, he ran to his room and back. The ponytail holder had previously been orange to those who paid attention (what didn't you see that? What are you blind?). It was now a green color. "Here put your hair up in this." he handed it over to Kuronue. Kuronue gave Kurama an odd look. "It will disguise you it has a liquid on it that makes illusions. I control it so everyone will not see the wings and any thing else that could cause trouble.

"In that case" he changed his ponytail holder and instantly the wings and everything else disappeared. Or they seemed too. Other than that he looked the same. He spotted a mirror and looked at himself. "Good job." (Readers I'm now going to say something that has no relevance what so ever. So I was eating pineapple ya'know and I dropped a piece. I have looked all over for it and it's no where around. I am officially magical... I teleported it into my stomach! Thank you keep reading and REVIEW!) He said proud of his Kurama. He kissed Kurama on the cheek, everyone saw it. Basically they were all stunned by this sudden action. Shuiichi recovered first.

"I'm going shopping with you!" he yelled

"Uh ok." Kurama said 'that ruins my make-out in the dressing room idea. 'he thought slight bitterness was thrown in this thought. 'Tonight they won't be home. Shuiichi is going to a friends and mom and dad have a party to go to. BWAHAHAHAHAHA' he thought sounding like his old Yoko self. Something that happened so rarely that he almost forgot it happened at all.

"Ok let's go was only have a few hours." he took Kuronue's hand and walked out of the house after a few quick goodbyes. Shuiichi followed of course.

They walked on and on until they came to a mall. The disguise seemed to have worked seeing as no one was running and screaming. He stooped them all outside a video game shop. "Shuiichi want to stop by the video game shop? I'll buy you one game."

"OH, oh really?!" he yelled excited.

"Yeah why don't you go look?" Kurama suggested before his brother ran off. He walked a few shops more down before stopping at a shop he wouldn't take anyone other than Kuronue in.

(things get a little weird and Kurama gets a little more the way I imagine Yoko would be around Kuronue. Other than the way polite, innocent Shuiichi would. It is going to be odd and involves leather and such. So... continue if you wish) They went in to the dimly lit store to be greeted by couples holding revealing leather clothing up to each other. Kurama went to the area that would have stuff that would fit Kuronue and held various pieces of leather stuff to him. Kuronue was confused until Kurama told him to try something on. He went into a large dressing room and tried to put it on. There was obviously no room for undershirts or pants. He then figured what it was.

"How could I have been so stupid otherwise." he whispered. He got it on a minute later. "Come in and look Kurama!" he yelled. Kurama had been out side the door waiting so he was in a second later.

"I like it I'm buying it. You can wearing it later," kuronue gave him a look that asked a question and got his answer in the form of a scary (not like spooky scary... more perverted scary) smile. Kurama had grabbed various other stuff and it was in a box. "ok get dressed and let's get you some clothes for being in public." Kuronue changed and they bought the stuff. Carefully concealing it in the bag as they walked to the video game place.

"I picked one!" Shuiichi ran up with a game. "Will you buy it for me?"

"Yes for being good and staying here while I got Kuronue a piece of clothing I wanted him to have." Kurama said before he could stop himself

"I'm hungry." Kurama sighed when Shuiichi said this.

"Let's go to the food court!"

"YAY!!"

"Kuronue are you hungry?"

"Yeah I'll eat something."

They walked to the food court. Kurama listened to what they wanted and went up to get it.

"I gotta go to the bathroom" Shuiichi cried.

"Well then go. I'll tell Kurama where you are." Shuiichi nodded 'he has two different names and I'm getting confused.' he said. 'I wonder what they bought.' he grabbed the bag while Kuronue wasn't looking and ran to the bathroom.

**********mean while at the food counter******************

"Mother what are you doing here?" Kurama asked surprised

"We needed some groceries and they were having a sale here." she smiled. "How Shuiichi behaving?" he asked sweetly

"He's been good so far," she paid for her food. And waited for Kurama to get his.

"May I eat with you?" she asked.

"Yeah that's fine."

They reached the table without tripping over the children, they were every where.

"Hey Ani (big brother.). Look" they turned to Shuiichi's voice. Kurama dropped his tray and turned red at the site that greeted his virgin (yeah right) eyes.

Shuiichi had decided it was a good idea to wear the outfit gotten for Kuronue, he had it on over his clothing and the many straps it was composed of were dragging behind him.

"Kuronue!" Kurama yelled for help.

"What?" he asked getting there in a second. Kurama pointed in horror (I would too) at his younger sibling.

"Hey that's mine." Kuronue said taking it off of Shuiichi easily.

"It would be too tight on you... you couldn't wear your clothing with it. Kurama bought you one that's too small. So it's mine." he looked as if he had explained the secrets of the universe to Kuronue. Kuronue grabbed the bag, that Shuiichi was carrying with him, and put the thing in it.

Shuiichi was totally unaware that he had just told everyone the purpose of the outfit. Shiori gave Kurama a look that said clearly "your father will hear of this."

"Hey Shuiichi Wanna come home with me I got you a treat." Shiori asked trying to save Kurama from anymore embarrassment that could come along. Kuronue was muttering to himself something along the lines of "of course it's tight it leather straps and a crotch cover." Shiori heard this and everyone turned a shade of brighter red. Except the oblivious child searching for his treat in the bag. "Shuiichi I will see you later. Get your friend some good (translate= decent) clothes and come on home. I'll think about what to do with you later." he smiled telling him she wasn't going to do much. 'I knew she wouldn't, she's so nice.' Aurama thought before giving her a good-bye hug and walking into a normal store..

Shiori walked away with a slight smile that is not often found on a mothers face just after that had happened. 'He's growing up, perhaps I shouldn't tell his father. He old enough to make his own decisions. At least I don't have to worry about pregnancy.' She smiled again 'I guess it is a little odd. My son is buying leather for his bat demon boyfriend… maybe I'm dreaming.'
